At 11 a.m. is the Arnprior
Optimist Children’s Bike Parade, which forms behind Grace St. Andrew’s United Church at 257 John St. N. The fun officially kicks off at Robert Simpson Park at noon with cake, senior of the year presentation to Darrel O’Shaughnessy, games, music, barbecues by the Legion and Lions Club, pioneer life re-enactments, inflatable slides and more. At 2 p.m. is the Rotary Club Mad Duck race from the Madawaska Bridge and to finish things off there will be fireworks from island near the bridge at 9:45 p.m. (rain date July 2).

NHL draft selects Arnprior’s Liam Hawel 101st overall DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
The morning after the 2017 NHL Draft’s first round was televised, Liam Hawel sat on the couch at his parents’ place watching Sportsnet. He could have gone to the gala event in Chicago with hundreds of other young stars and their families. The 6 ft. 4 in. centreman who plays for the OHL’s Guelph Storm was expected to be chosen. He had a good second half of the season, and also went with Team Canada to a world championship in Slovakia. But he wasn’t sure in which round he would appear. He had gotten various messages from different professional teams over the last few months. He didn’t expect to go in the first round or even second. He obviously preferred not to go in the seventh or eighth or later. Or not at all. Besides, the 18-year-old had an exam to write that Monday. He was trying to graduate from Arnprior District High School. Even if he would become the highest drafted player from town; even if he would be the first with a shot at playing in the big leagues since Dan Fridgen in the early 1980s with the Hartford Whalers; he would feel more at home learning his fate… at home. Luckily for him another Arnprior family was at the show. Trevor Timmins is widely considered one of the best scouts in the league. He usually gets up on stage with his son Jake to name the first draft for his Montreal Canadiens. It’s a family tradition for Lisa and her boys.
It would have been in the backs of their minds that the Hawels were nervously awaiting the results. In the end neither family had to wait that long. “I saw my name pop up (along the bottom of the screen),” Hawel said. “I was super excited to go in the fourth round. A few minutes later the Dallas Stars called me.” The Stars, known for big bodies up the middle, chose Hawel 101st overall. It is a very good showing. “As soon as I heard his name I texted Liam and his parents,” Trevor said. “I’m very happy for him. There’s a lot of pride in this small town here.” Hawel will attend the club’s conditioning and training camps. He’ll even attend tryouts. But the expectation is that he will play next year in Guelph. Only a handful of those selected in the first round in any given season will play in the NHL at age 18. He anticipates being somewhat starstruck when stepping on the ice with the likes of Jamie Benn, Jason Spezza, and Kanata’s Marc Methot. “It’s pretty cool,” Hawel said. “I grew up watching those guys.” Hawel said his is proud to be picked, but knows it took a lot of hard work, along with help from parents and coaches along the way. He thanks parents Andrew and Maureen for all the drives to the rink and the high financial costs to play AAA minor hockey. He thanks Ottawa Valley Titans coach Brent Carty in particular, along with last year’s Guelph coach Jarrod
Guelph Storm
The Dallas Stars chose Liam Hawel in the fourth round. He will likely play at least one more year with the Guelph Storm of the OHL.
Skalde. The road to the NHL involves good fortune and luck, too. Hawel, playing left wing, was getting little ice time with the Soo Greyhounds. The trade to Guelph meant a spot in the natural position, second line centre, according to Timmins. “He got some time on the powerplay and pk (penalty kill),” Timmins said. “Without that trade I don’t think he would have went as high.” The Canadiens showed some interest in
Hawel, inviting him to a 20-player camp a few months back. “Yes, we had an interest in him. He was on our draftboard,” he said, but declined to say in which round they intended to select him. Asked if he deferred decision making for fear of a loss of objectivity, Timmins was straightforward. “I make the final decision. I listen to what everyone has to say, and then make the call. You have to take off that hat,” he said. “It is nice to see a fellow Titans alumni go.” Glenn Arthur is recreation director at the Town of Arnprior. He has spotted Hawel out for shinny and pickup hockey from time to time. He can’t say enough about every member of the family. Maureen once worked for the town. Andrew volunteered on the recreation advisory board a few years back. “Great people. It couldn’t happen to better people,” said the former goaltender. “The kid is a real good kid, for sure. They (NHL scouts) watch them pretty closely. They rarely take the ones that aren’t good kids. Nope – a great family in my books, no doubt.” Congratulations and well wishes were pouring into Maureen’s social media page. The popular primary school teacher admits to feeling overwhelmed, but insists she get her message out. “We are all very grateful for the community support,” she said. “Family, friends, trainers, skating coaches, so many people have contributed along the way. It really does take a village. Or a small town!”

Operation Freeze cools down Scholl found Demonstrating positive behaviour and participating in random acts of kindness is the ‘cool’ thing to do this summer. The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is proud to be partnering once again with Mac’s Convenience Stores across Ontario for this year’s for Operation Freeze 2017. OPP officers will be on the lookout and if they catch a youth showcasing positive behavior in their community they may receive a thank you in the form of a ticket for a Mac’s Froster
drink. A youth may receive a “positive ticket” from an officer for a number of positive behaviours: helping others in need, being leaders, doing a good deed and/or participating in community activities. Officers may also use the positive tickets as an ‘icebreaker’ to interact with youth. In the summer of 2016, the OPP distributed over 27,500 Operation Freeze tickets throughout the province.
Officers from the Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) arrested Cory Scholl on June 22. He was wanted for several criminal charges. OPP officers with assistance from Ottawa Police Service members located and arrested the him in the Carp area. Scholl was being held in custody for a bail hearing on June 23 in Pembroke and made a second appearance on June 27.

The reference to a monthly fee merchants are likely to pay to create new parking lots, in the June 22 story ‘Merchants pay for two parking lots,’ is incorrect. The $350 would be an annual cost, not monthly. The Chronicle-Guide apologizes for any confusion that may have followed. Furthermore, to even more clearly state that no decisions were made at the meeting, is this quote from Arnprior town hall: “The next steps will be to further analyze options and to consult with downtown owners prior to bringing forward any proposed levy. A public consultation session with downtown owners is planned for the fall and all properties will be notified of the consultation session once a date has been finalized. Impacted property owners will be asked to provide feedback at that time before any decision is made by council.”

OPINION
Connected to your community
Celebrate Canada’s glory July 1 Canada’s 150th birthday is a time of celebration, but don’t ever think that this achievement was easy. The Fathers of Confederation had great dreams back in 1867, but these were not enough to ensure success as a nation. Over the ensuing years, the country has met challenge after challenge — the Riel Rebellion, two world wars, the Depression, the Quebec crisis, to name but a few. Canada has come through it all, and has grown to be acknowledged as one of the most inclusive and free countries in the world. When asked what best describes Canada, our health care system is frequently mentioned. But it is not the health care system itself that defines Canada. It is simply the product of Canada’s most enduring traits — a desire for everyone to be treated fairly, equally, and with respect. The health system does this. These traits pervade Canadian society. That’s why refugees have been welcomed here. That’s why gay, lesbian, and transgender rights are now a fact of life in our country. That’s why multiculturalism is prevalent in Canada, in sharp contrast to the melting pot concept in the United States. Of course, Canada is not perfect. More needs to be done for mental health. More needs to be
done in helping the homeless and the working poor. And more needs to be done to reach reconciliation with indigenous peoples. While 150 years of nationhood for Canada is cause for celebration, our indigenous neighbours in this country have a history not of hundreds but of thousands of years. Theirs is a tradition and lifestyle that deserves respect and admiration, not the prejudice and disdain that has prevailed in past years. It’s time for the resolution of the country’s indigenous relationship so that we can all go forward in mutual respect and equality. There is much to be proud of in Canada. Any list of recipients of the Order of Canada reveals a myriad of accomplishments, from medicine to entertainment to sports to high tech to the creative arts, and more. Yet, many recipients are relatively unknown to their fellow citizens. That’s just the Canadian way. Do something, do it well, and do it with little fanfare. July 1 this year, though, is a time to break this mould, at least for a day, and celebrate Canada and all its achievements over the past 150 years. Canadians are a hard working, good-hearted, generous, respectful people. This is Canada’s strength. This is Canada’s glory. This is our Canada. Happy Canada Day!
Kudos to MP Cheryl Gallant for taking politically unpopular stance To the editor:
While some in this riding may disagree, I commend Cheryl Gallant for having the courage to take a politically unpopular stand. Her ideas and mine on many issues have differed, but on this issue it appears we both have understanding that others do not. Climate change is real, but the socalled consensus of scientists about its cause and solutions has been manufactured through a flood of sloppy studies that have duped many scholars as well as the general public. Those scientists who have questioned these poor reports have been bullied and called heretics despite the fact that they do not dispute the reality of changes in our weather worldwide. The truth is that climate change is a political tool, now. Perhaps it always was. And the fact that governments continue to promote fossil fuel extraction and technologies while effectively stifling significant conversion to safer and cleaner technologies shows that

most politicians, bureaucrats, and corporations do not care at all whether fossil fuels are damaging our planet. Instead of doing anything meaningful to protect citizens and the ecology on which we all depend, they use climate change as an excuse to tax the poor; and they sell off government assets to private companies that then hike energy prices for no legitimate reason; and they plough ahead with pipelines that will leak and contaminate our water, notwithstanding company claims belied by the reality that serious and destructive leaks are commonplace. But there is another issue that has surfaced thanks to non-corporate media and some brave scientists and public officials. Regardless of the contributions of the fossil fuel industries and of nature, there is a major manmade cause of climate change: the geoengineering that governments and corporations are pushing as the “fix” for climate change. Weather modification technology
has existed for about a century, and has been tested and put into practice for almost that long, according to newspaper accounts that date back to the 1920s. What the mainstream media has failed to inform us and that governments are denying is that weather modification, a.k.a. geoengineering, has been happening for decades. In fact, weather has become a weapon wielded by military-industrial-”intelligence” agencies (notably American). That is why we have soaring temperatures, droughts, floods, severe storms, etc. Notice that many of the worst effects of “global warming” are in those places that have untapped oil resources. Others are in places where the public opposes political policies of war and imperialism, and/ or policies of government centralization and rural depopulation and corporate plunder of natural resources. Have people failed to notice the chemical trails from airplanes that have been filling our skies with in-

No, these crisscrossing lines in the sky spread and diffuse and are full of aluminum powder (which ignites in the presence of moisture and also settles on trees to contribute to massive wildfires), strontium, barium (yes, these are radioactive), and other substances including (according to some sources) bacteria and moulds. If you ask government agencies for answers about existing geoengineering, as I have, you get a “not my department” runaround, or hemming and hawing, or outright lies. Conspiracies? You bet. And many in our governments and scientific community and media are in on them. (History is full of conspiracies, most of which are initiated by the rich for the rich.)

excusing the continuation of a major cause of the problem, while also excusing the feeding of the ultra-rich from the pockets of the middle class and poor, and excusing the sending of tax monies from countries like Canada to foreign dictators who have no intention of sharing that money with their people suffering from the effects of these weather weapons. Even if you wish to believe that our officials could not possibly be so corrupt as to deliberately take part in using our weather as a weapon and causing disasters for transnational corporations to exploit for profit, you have to recognize that half-baked science and popularized political bandwagons and corporate selfishness have caused problems but not solved them. So why count on them to correct the situation now? Thank you, Cheryl Gallant, for not being a part of the problem. A.M. Azulay Renfrew

The committee will be providing a briefing on the progress of the second refugee family and their needs once they arrive. The committee needs to recruit volunteers who will be committed to serve as co-ordinators in several areas such as financial planning and education, driving, social contact and arranging medical support. You will be asked to serve on the main committee as main co-ordinators and your services will begin around the first of September. There is also a need for many volunteers to do the driving to and from various appointments as well as ESL training.

It should also be noted that due to the culture of the family and the fact that they have no male in the household, it is preferred that the above volunteers be female, unless a couple can volunteer together. Please plan to attend if you want to help; it would be a great opportunity for service groups to attend to see where they could help the family. The committee cannot stress enough that we are not looking for monetary donations, as your kind generosity during the initial drive was sufficient to fund this second family.

Sisters piece together giant puzzle DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
When sisters Nancy Price and Carolyn Middaugh were growing up in Eganville they enjoyed creating jigsaw puzzles together. They maintained the shared love even as life caused them to physically drift apart. But it seems the greater the distance between them — Price in Arnprior and Middaugh in Belleville — the greater the size of puzzle. The sisters have recently finished an 18,000-piece puzzle. It measures 2.7 by 2 metres (9 by 6.5 ft.) and took some 500 hours to complete, from April 13 to June 3. The mammoth picture of Buddhist temples overlooking a sunset, possibly in southern Asia, rests on a plywood background in Price’s basement. “I don’t give up, even though it very nearly ended up in the garbage,” Price said with a chuckle. “It’s the challenge that I like. And you get wrapped up in the puzzle.” Middaugh agrees that the allure to jigsaw puzzles includes the atmosphere created.
“It’s its own little world,” she said. “Everything fades away. I find it relaxing. “And it’s good for concentration and that sort of thing.” They confess that the puzzle is less difficult than it appears at the final stage. When they bought it after much hesitation at a games store in the Quinte Mall, the box came with four bags, each containing 4,500 pieces. Price did most of it, with minimal help from family and friends. Middaugh had an additional challenge of limited space (though both basically rearranged their homes for the project). She would finish one section then do the next on top, before shipping the whole thing to Arnprior. They have their strategies. Along with setting aside perimeter pieces and interior pieces based on matching colours, they also took note of shape. Some are considered linking pieces. The puzzle maker insists no two pieces are alike, though that is difficult to believe, Price said. For anyone who hasn’t seen a giant puzzle in person, it is a truly stunning spectacle. The sisters’ is so large that
it wouldn’t fit through the basement bedroom door, let alone up the stairs, a fact not lost on Price’s husband Jack Charlebois. “Whoever gets the house gets the puzzle,” Charlebois said, jokingly. He built the frame and contributed exactly two pieces to the structure, but has been accused of hiding others in the past. The accomplishment has only encouraged the sisters. They are ready to start another 18,000-piece puzzle. This one is easier in that the image is of well-defined items on lined bookshelves. No vast dark spaces in a mysterious temple. They would even consider going that next step to a 32,000-piece, the world’s largest, but would need a bigger space. According to guinnessworldrecords.com, the customized jigsaw puzzle with the most pieces consisted of 551,232 pieces and was completed with an overall measurement of 14.85 x 23.20 m (48 ft 8.64 in x 76 ft 1.38 in) by 1,600 students of the University of Economics of Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), at the Phu Tho Stadium in
Derek Dunn/Metroland
Sisters Nancy Price and Carolyn Middaugh have completed an 18,000 piece puzzle, the second largest mass produced jigsaw in the world. It took almost two months and more than some frustration, but they are already preparing for another challenge. Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, on Sept. 24, 2011. The jigsaw puzzle depicted a lotus flower with six petals in symbolic representation of the six areas of knowledge envisaged by the Mindmap study
method. It took the students 17 hours to first break up the 3,132 sections, each containing 176 pieces, into which the jigsaw puzzle had been divided, and then reassemble them to create the puzzle.

Catholic board appoints two new superintendents for next school year New appointments for RCCDSB’s Mary-Lise Rowat, Elizabeth Burchat The Renfrew County Catholic District School Board (RCCDSB) has announced the appointment of two new superintendents to its administrative staff. The appointments will take effect on Sept. 15. Mary-Lise Rowat, principal of St. Joseph’s elementary school in Arnprior, has been appointed to the post of superintendent of educational services. Rowat was also RCCDSB’s Principal Math Lead for 2016– 2017. Rowat’s responsibilities will include special education, Safe Schools, and mental health and well-being priorities, as well as healthy schools, health and safety for pupils, equity and inclusion, environmental and outdoor education, among other duties. Rowat replaces Peter Adam, who is retiring effective Sept. 15. She has been with the
RCCDSB since 1993, and has worked as a principal since 2007. Elizabeth Burchat, principal at St. John Bosco School in Barry’s Bay, as well as having responsibility for the School Effectiveness program, has been named to one of the two posts as superintendent of educational services. She will be responsible for the Kindergarten to Grade 6 Program, including the School Effectiveness Framework, Indigenous Education, Early Years, French as a Second Language, summer school, assessment and evaluation, and EQAO liaison, among other duties. Burchat, who has been a principal at RCCDSB since 2004, will replace Jaimie Perry, who has been appointed RCCDSB’s Director of Education for 2017–2018. “My fellow trustees and I are delighted
with both these two appointments,” said board chair Howard. “Both of the successful candidates have proven themselves as inspiring leaders and strong team players. Over their years at RCCDSB, they both have demonstrated remarkable skills in collaborative team work, resilience and critical thinking. They will greatly strengthen our board administration.” Jaimie Perry, incumbent director of education, said he is confident that both Burchat and Rowat will nurture the board’s legacy of high-quality, faith-based education. “Elizabeth and Mary-Lise will be great assets on the board’s administrative team. With the addition of their combined experience, energy and collaborative leadership capabilities, our team can continue to focus on RCCDSB schools to believe in.”

The pain was unbearable, And you left such a hole in my heart. Ten years has passed, And yet I hear your voice, hear your laugh, Smell your perfume, See your smile. I can still see your face as you drove away that night. I can feel your strength, gentleness and your love of animals was undeniable. I think of you when Hannah snuggles. I think of you every day, And I will miss you the rest of my life. Forever Mom

It wasn’t a wise decision on Mother’s part. Sending me and Emerson to pick chokecherries together was not a good idea. Emerson, older than I am by six years, spent most of his spare time trying to make my life miserable. Behind Mother’s back, of course. “You know, don’t you, you can choke to death if you eat a chokecherry and drink milk at the same time,” Emerson said, as we headed out with our little honey pails for the cluster of trees strewn along the fence of one of our back fields. Well, I didn’t like milk, so my chance of coming to an untimely death in such a fashion was pretty remote. But Emerson kept up a steady chatter about how dangerous it was, and he knew for a fact that one young fellow from the Barr Line dropped in his tracks and all it took was a couple of chokecherries and a sip of milk. Of course, he couldn’t come up with a name. We reached the bushes flushed from the heat of the day, and started picking the fruit. It was easy to just grasp a loaded sprig between your thumb and finger, pull gently, and the whole cluster would fall into the pail. So, it didn’t take long to fill the three honey pails ... mine, Emerson’s, and the one tied to his braces. All the way back to the house, Emerson kept talking about the fatal effect of eating a berry and drinking even a sip of milk. Well, I didn’t believe him for one minute! My brother had a special talent for dreaming up schemes, many of which were planned to scare the living daylights out of me, but I was pretty sure Mother would never expose us to such a danger in the first place, and I told him so. “I don’t believe you for one minute, Emerson Haneman,” I said as we neared the backyard. Emerson put his pails down on the ground and hurried into the house and soon came out with a tin cup, which I was pretty sure was cold water from the ice box. “You don’t believe me? Well, you just watch this, and you better be ready to call Mother so she can get a call into Dr. Murphy, because you’ve seen the last of me.” He took out a
handful of chokecherries from one of the pails, tossed them into his mouth, and said, “This is milk ... now you just watch.” I screamed for him to stop just in case what he had been saying all along had a grain of truth in it. But it was too late. Down the hatch went the chokecherries, and then he took a big gulp of the milk. He rolled his eyes into the back of his head, made the sign of the cross (he wasn’t even a Catholic), and fell on his back to the ground. I prodded him with the toe of my running shoe, and he never moved. I started to say the Lord’s Prayer, and stopped short of making the sign of the cross just in case it would have an adverse affect since I was a Lutheran. Nothing! Emerson never moved a muscle. He was dead all right. There was no doubt about it. And I was completely responsible, for not believing him! I ran to the kitchen door and screamed for Mother, but my sister Audrey said she had gone to Briscoe’s General Store. Through my sobs, I told Audrey what had happened, and she came out to see our brother who had just taken his last breath, sprawled on the grass by the pump stand. She didn’t even wait to pump up well-water, but took the tin cup off the nail-hook, dipped it into the watering trough, and dumped the whole lot right onto Emerson’s face, who had yet to stir a muscle. Well, that brought him to life in a hurry! He was as mad as a hatter, and, as was his habit, he would kick anything within distance when he got riled up, he was looking for something to put his boot to. Audrey had the common sense to grab the two pails of chokecherries, I grabbed mine, and we headed into the house. Emerson soaking wet, with water dripping down his face, still insisted eating chokecherries and drinking milk at the same time could kill you, vowed he was near death, and the only thing that saved him was worrying about what Mother would do to me when she found out I was responsible for the demise of her favourite son. That was the last I ever heard of the danger of eating chokecherries and drinking milk at the same time. Interested in copies of Mary’s books? Please contact Mary at wick2@sympatico.ca.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, even if you want to take the lead on something, you have to pay attention to the chain of command in this situation. This may require you to play second fiddle for a little while.
l
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you’re motivated to get started on a new project, but you may not have the means. Find out if anyone is willing to invest in your vision.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
sudoku
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, discuss your social calendar with others so that dates do not get confused and parties do not overlap. This way guests will not have to pick and choose which events to attend.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, if you are being called on to wear many hats at work, it is only right that you be compensated accordingly. This is a week for showing the bosses you mean business.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Ignore any hurtful comments that may come your way, Capricorn. Your emotional strength is potent, and you can successfully ride out any storm.
PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Remember that being in a relationship requires a lot of work, Pisces. Don’t keep your feelings bottled up and hope for the best.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Avoid conflicts by talking through the situation with someone who has opposing views, Gemini. When you understand others’ perspectives, you can be more accommodating.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, if others can’t see your vision, you may have to forge on and hope for the best. Not everyone understands your brand of thinking, and you need to accept that.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, if life gets a little hectic this week, find a spot where you can relax and enjoy the quiet for a little while. Recharging the batteries may be all that’s needed.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, now might be time for a new career or a return to the workforce if you have been away. You just may discover a new identity through your work.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, extend your magnanimity to someone who may have recently spurned you. This will demonstrate that you can always be counted on to do the right thing.

Former Senator Marc Methot leaving Las Vegas off to Dallas DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
Hometown NHL favourite Marc Methot’s parents say it was a good thing while it lasted. Al and Betty Methot live near Renfrew, in Horton Township on the Ottawa River, about a 45-minute drive from Canadian Tire Centre. They’ve watched, live, almost every home game their stay-at-home defenceman son has played for the Ottawa Senators. “We were very happy to see him in Ottawa for the last four or five years,” Al said, the day after Marc was acquired by the league’s newest team, the Vegas Golden Knights, in the expansion draft. On June 26 Methot was traded from Vegas to the Dallas Stars for a goalie and a future draft pick. “It was good while it lasted. But it’s a business.” It’s about a 37-hour drive to Las Vegas. But only 25-hour to Dallas. Still a little more difficult to make home games. Even when he entered the NHL with Columbus Blue Jackets, his par-
ents were driving for 11 hours to see him. His junior hockey games with the London Knights? Eight hours. He played with the Kanata Valley Lasers in 2001-02. “We don’t even know at this point if he will stay in Las Vegas. He called today and said there might be six teams that want him.” Nice to be wanted. “Yes, it is,” Al said with a chuckle. June 21 was the NHL awards night, along with the unveiling of its new team’s lineup. It was also the 32-yearold’s birthday. Asked what he will miss about living and working in his hometown, Al had an orderly response. “He’ll miss his family life and friends. He’s established in the area,” he said.” He’s really enjoyed the team. Not just this year (when they went deep in the playoffs), but the last couple of years.” As for switching teammates: “Marc gets along with everybody. He’s a pretty happy and easygoing guy.”Al reiterated that pro hockey is Jessica Cunha/Metroland a business. Marc Methot is on the red carpet for the Canadian Tire Centre’s parade at the beginning of this year. They Workers do the job they have to do, were much happier times then. He won’t play for Ottawa next season. he said.

The County of Renfrew is marking Canada’s sesquicentennial with a special time capsule made up of contents from all the region’s municipalities. The time capsule cairn is built from rocks sourced from all 17 municipalities and is located outside of the County of Renfrew administrative building in Pembroke. Volunteer Bob Peltzer has constructed the cairn. The contents will be unearthed in 50 years. “This is a really special monument. I’m so pleased with how it’s come together,” said Renfrew County Warden Jennifer Murphy. “Bob Peltzer from our own municipality built it and we thank him so much for his efforts.” This has been a truly special and fun year to be warden, said Murphy. “It’s amazing, through my travels with the Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus, I’ve been seeing the pride of Canada across the region,” said Murphy. When the idea first came forward, everyone was enthusiastic and the excitement has just grown, she said. The capsule was sealed at a special Canada 150 barbecue June 28 in Pembroke following the county council meeting. Local communities’ capsule contributions included:
* Admaston/Bromley Paper flag with the Irish flag on one side and the Canada 150 logo on the other – given out at the Douglas St. Patrick’s Day parade, DVD highlighting the Olympic torch run through Douglas in 2009, pin bearing the township crest, a Queen’s jubilee pin, a vacuum-sealed package of canola seed from Barclay Dick and Son – seeds should last 50 years so can be planted when capsule is unearthed and full histories of Admaston and Bromley townships on laminated scrolls.
Each of Renfrew County’s 17 municipalities provided a rock, from which the cairn was built. * Renfrew A Renfrew Flag, a Renfrew button, an old Renfrew pin, a Mayor Don Eady pen, a Renfrew rack card and a photo of Audrey Green winning the Federation of Canadian Municipalities Woman of the Year Award, and a photo of the current council.

Ottawa River defines the Valley for more than 150 years TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com
The Ottawa River has flowed through the Ottawa Valley from time immemorial. It has shaped not only the development of the Town of Arnprior, but Renfrew County and beyond. In fact it is one of the few features of Renfrew County that has lasted 150 years as Canada celebrates that first Dominion Day on July 1, 1867. “The Ottawa River shaped what Arnprior was and has become. It was very advanced for the day with a railway connecting it to the rest of the country,” said Janet Carlile, Arnprior and District Museum curator. She notes two historic visitors who came to Arnprior in 1860 and 1865. “The fact is it was a chosen destination for the Prince of Wales to visit just a few years prior (to Confederation) showed its potential importance for lumber on the world stage,” said Carlile. “John A. Macdonald had been through Arnprior on the train and I suspect his enthusiasm for nation building was somewhat infectious as transporting people and goods to otherwise remote places accessible only by treacherous waterways and rough tracks would have been attractive to everyone.” According to the town website the first noted lumber action was in 1831 when Andrew and George Buchanan built a small sawmill and timber bridge on the Madawaska River. In 1851 Daniel McLachlin arrived in Arnprior and saw that logging was the future as he purchased 400 acres of land at the mouth of the Madawaska with the waterpower rights. The lumber industry reigned on the Ottawa River from 1851 to 1930s; at
The Gillies Bros. Co. Ltd. lumber mill was established on the Ottawa River at Braeside in 1873. This photograph from the Braeside Women’s Institute Tweedsmuir History collection shows the first mill, which burned June 23, 1919. Right: Alfred E. Edmonds print from 1867 of the interior of a Camboose near Arnprior.

one point the White Pine Saw Mill was the largest in North America. In 1850 the demand for wood changed from square timber to sawn lumber and there was a real increase in the number of saw mills. By 1867 the lumber industry was booming. “It was going strong in 1867,” said Laurie Dougherty, archivist for the Arnprior and McNab/ Braeside Archives, on the lumber
trade of the day. “But 1867 is just a mark along the development of the river.” Just a few years after confederation two major mills were in full force.

In 1873 the Gillies Brothers at a mill at Red Pine Bay in Braeside and in the 1870s mill three and four were busy just at the mouth of the Madawaska River for the McLachlin Brothers.
“All of the east side of the Madawaska River was a lumber yard, it was huge, said Dougherty. As an archivist she notes they do not have a lot of information on the changing shorelines due to the dams that were installed and she knows many people have an interest in the river now. “It has provided a lot of beauty and a lot of people are inspired and concerned about it and its health,” said Dougherty. “It was the transportation route, by canoe, steamer, or the logs and it is still used for pleasure now.” Another thing that has stayed somewhat similar to 1867 is the town’s waterfront and beach area. “It hasn’t changed. The only thing we lost is the wharf, but it has been preserved,” said Dougherty. Another spot in Arnprior that was very important to the logging industry that has lasted 150 years is Bell Park. “The McLachlin Brothers launched all of their rafting boats from there,” said Dougherty. The river has changed and evolved over the years and twice it was considered for a lock system to bring traffic from Georgian Bay. One of the many treasures of the archives is the Renfrew County land records, which describes the people who founded this area. “The people, they are all gems,” said Dougherty. “The economic history of this area is tied up with the lumber industry along the Ottawa River.” “Canada ‘s 150th allows us to come together as a country to celebrate all of the wonderful things we have in common and to celebrate and recognize our tremendous diversity,” said Carlile. “Arnprior is unique in its nature and location, and each of us have reason to celebrate. Understanding our past helps us to better know future.”

The adventures of a Canadian tree Born July 1, 1867, how might a white pine survive and thrive?
DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
Suspend disbelief temporarily, if you will, for this adventure of a tree born some 150 years ago – just as a nation was coming alive - in what is now Gillies Grove, in the gentle town of Arnprior, Ont., a few kilometres west of Canada’s capital. Born on July 1, 1867, this Eastern white pine began life as a tiny twowinged seed that embarked on a miraculous journey skyward, growing to some 37 metres (120 feet) or more. Few living beings can boast a stronger will. What perseverance it must have taken to do so; rising, rising to meet the blue crown it shares with other cousins in the grove. Surely they are the town’s most majestic residents. Certainly more than one person strolling along the grove’s pathways has bowed to the town elders. First, however, fate need ensure the conditions were perfect: well drained soil and a cool humid climate. The seedling competed with other species for nutrients, light and water. It outstretched the nearby red maple, Eastern hemlock, and yellow birch. Small mammals eat the seed from cone. Our Gillies tree would escape their jaws, elude other predators and out compete fellow white pines in the vicinity. Few can appreciate the obstacles our hero had overcome more than Brenda Van Sleeuwen. She is a conservation biologist at Nature Conservancy of Canada, owner of Gillies
Derek Dunn/Metroland
Imagine an Eastern white pine bursting forth in life at the Gillies Grove in Arnprior, during the year 1867. What obstacles it must have overcome to grow 120 feet tall. Grove. She said most eastern white pines on the property live to between 160- and 190-years-old. A great to-do was made in the media last year when her non-profit organization realized the tallest white pine (154 feet) in Ontario calls the grove home.
Anything that survives, nay, thrives, after 150 winters - be it a nation of people or a nation of trees - should to be celebrated. Van Sleeuwen is first to applaud. “Winters can take a big toll on pine trees,” she said. “Heavy, wet snow ac-
cumulates on the pine needles, weighing them down and breaking off limbs. Large, regional-scale disturbances such as ice storms, like the ice storm of 1998, and floods (also pose an existential threat).” However, many years from now
the kings and queens of the grove will lessen in number. The sugar maple and American beech are slowly growing dominant. These are the species now seen in the sub-canopy and shrub layer. The pine is migrating south and westward, not unlike more than a few Ontarians. Our white pine’s recent relatives, at the turn of the 19th century, fought for Britain during the Napoleonic Wars. Their long, straight trunks made a fleet of formidable masts to brave the ocean winds on behalf of Admiral Horatio Nelson. Their children, or pine’s parents, enjoyed a more peaceful if less purposeful life. They would travel on the newly invented railway system to furniture stores, largely in eastern cities of the United States. Our pine was too small for the Royal Navy and too large for holiday festivities. The eastern pine today is best known as a Christmas tree. At first blush that may seem a less glamorous fate than war on the high seas, but consider further. Perhaps species behave in a similar fashion to individuals. They mellow with age. Fighting and the insatiable saw mill. Who does not long for moment of rest and kindness? They are pleased with a temperature-controlled environment free from snow. They don’t mind being draped in tinsel. Colourful lights throughout their branches tickle them. With full hearts they pine for children’s smiling eyes and laughter in the morning light.

Renfrew’s McDougall Mill Museum dusts off history 150 years later TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland
On Dominion Day in 1867, the McDougall Grist Mill was a busy place; so busy residents most likely did not know what the day would mean 150 years later. “I imagine the significance didn’t reach the ordinary folk on the ground, there were so few people, they were probably busy bringing their crops here to the mill,” said Sue McSheffrey, president of the McDougall Mill Museum. She says that in 1867 the area now known as O’Brien park was the industrial area in Renfrew. “In 1867 this building would have been full of dust,” said McSheffrey. The mill and current McDougall Mill Museum, in fact, predates confederation as it was built in 1855. “For me it is very cool to be in a building that’s older than Canada and know that it was built to last,” said McSheffrey.
The building was constructed out of limestone and squared timber from the area. “It was built to last, the walls are really thick. We have only had to do a few patches over the years, the rest of it is original,” said McSheffrey. “It’s pretty astonishing it’s the only building left on this side of town that predates Canada.” In 1855 John Lorne McDougall purchased a quarter-acre of land on the north shore of the Bonnechere River for five shillings from Sir Francis Hincks. McDougall was a former fur trader for the Hudson’s Bay Company and a merchant in Renfrew according to museum history the mill was a great success and it provided flour for pioneer settlers, lumber camps and traders in the region. Before it was built farmers had to take their grain over rough roads to Harvey’s Mill in Pakenham or by canoe to Pendergrast’s across the river in Quebec for milling. McSheffrey says McDougall saw
the need to build the mill in 1855. He built the mill to grind down wheat to flour so people could buy it or have it shipped out explained McSheffrey. The Story of Renfrew Vol. 2 by Heritage Renfrew says that in the municipal election in 1858 there were only 56 men to cast their ballots. McSheffrey says there were most likely only a few hundred people living in Renfrew in 1867. “When Canada became a country this part of town was a bustling hub,” said McSheffrey. “It would have been so busy with the industry here and people coming and going.” The first reeve of Renfrew was John Smith from 1858 to 1960; the first mayor of Renfrew was James Craig in 1895. And when Canada was born in 1867 the mayor was John L. McDougall, who was the son of the man that built the mill. “There is a big link there because the man who built the mill, his son saw Canada become a country as the mayor of Renfrew,” said McSheffrey.

Evolution Over the years the building itself has changed and adapted. In 1882 the mill was purchased from McDougall’s son by John McLaren and he improved the mill, switching from millstones to a roller system. In 1895 it was sold to David Craig who operated it until 1916, when M.J. O’Brien Ltd. bought it as Logan Mills. Then in 1931 O’Brien used the mill to store his woollen products. In 1963 the O’Brien family gave the mill property to the town to be used as a museum in honour of Renfrew’s centennial and it was designated under the Ontario Heritage Act as having both historical and architectural value and interest. The Renfrew and District Historical and Museum Society opened the McDougall Mill Museum. “I believe the walls have seen evolution from the growth of the collection to what’s inside the museum,” said museum site supervisor Lainy BoldtJohnson. “It’s seen community growth
with a lot of employment here, with all of the industry (the mill) would have brought more people in it was able to support a lot of families in town.” Since it has been a museum they have welcomed people from all over the world, last year they had visitors from every continent. The museum is open from May to September each year and attracts about 2,000 people each season. McSheffrey calls it a living museum. “We have something here from every decade, we are taking things in from today and we have items that pre-date Canada,” said McSheffrey. “I think the biggest part for me having the museum here is we are constantly evolving but we have to look back at the people and the industry that made Renfrew what it is.” Boldt-Johnson knows it is critical to look back on the town’s roots. “It’s really important to reflect on how Renfrew great,” said Boldt-Johnson. “And what it started from.”

Heritage Renfrew protects and preserves local family history as Canada turns 150 TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com
For more than 150 years, it has been the people that have defined not only Renfrew County but the nation. On Gibbons Road, Heritage Renfrew stores and protects histories of more than 100 families who originated in Renfrew. Darlene Mask is the president of Heritage Renfrew and has been with the organization, run strictly by volunteers for 17 years. It was the genealogical aspect of research that drew her into the not-for-profit group. As Canada turns 150 years old she thinks there would have been celebrations when the news of confederation reached the people of Renfrew. With the considerable amount of influential people in Renfrew, Mask thinks they would have had some idea of what was going on. “I am sure they were very aware,” said Mask. “I’m sure there would have been some celebrations out in the hotels with liquor and music. There were very prominent people in Renfrew and I think they would have known.” From the pictures that she has seen in her research on the time period, she says it shows the industries and factories were all vital in keeping the town together and progressing. “It gives you the impression of a very bustling time, with people working in factories or farmers coming to town to exchange products,” said Mask. “There were women in beautiful hats and it gives you a sense of status.” But on the other hand, there were muddy roads, with cattle passing by, and the ladies would need a plank of wood put out so they could pass. “There was such versatility into their life,” said Mask. “As confusing as that sounds, I use to hear stories from my father-in-law talking about the loggers at the hotels and there was a lot of drunkenness going on.” She became interested in genealogy when she was in her early 20 but admits that most people are in their 60s before they really want to re-
search their family roots. She enjoys being a part of Heritage Renfrew to preserve and present the many historical projects they undertake. She says that she has done a lot of family trees and assisted other researchers over the years. “A lot of people come back to Renfrew to research their original descendants,” explained Mask. She believes the collection of family trees gives connections to descendants. “I believe it keeps the town connected and connected to other towns,” said Mask. “One family can go to Toronto or to the United States but it’s important to keep these records alive and searchable for families to search whenever possible.” Over the years research methods have changed and she admits that computers have helped and hindered the process. Heritage Renfrew has a number of useful documents to aid in research such as records for birth/death, church, cemeteries, local authors, census and donated family history books and more. FAMILY HISTORY
There are shelves upon shelves of well-researched histories each documenting the struggles and triumphs of Renfrew’s pioneers for more than 150 years, there is one in particular, who Mask calls the big kahuna in Renfrew’s history. “MJ O’Brien was very important in the development of Renfrew from the logging industry to farming,” said Mask. “He was instrumental in the growth of this town.” In the small room inside the National Archives Building, Heritage Renfrew can trace Michael John O’Brien (better known as MJ) back to the 18th century. His father, John O’Brien, was born in Ireland on April 18, 1799 and died in Nova Scotia in 1869. While MJ himself was born in Nova Scotia on Sept. 19, 1851 and died in Renfrew on Nov. 26, 1940. He married his wife Jane Barry,
from Barryvale, at St. Francis Xavier Church in Renfrew in 1883. Another well-known Renfrew family which stores its family history at Heritage Renfrew is the Briscoe family. James Brisco was born in Penrith, England in about 1803, he and his brothers William and Benjamin soon travelled to Canada. In 1831 James married Sarah and they immigrated to Lower Canada. In 1845, they moved to a location along Renfrew County’s Opeongo Line in Admaston Township five miles West of Renfrew Village. James was well situated to work for the lumber camps and in 1858 he purchased a lot in Admaston where they raised three daughters and seven sons. A third family that can trace their roots back to when Canada became a nation is the Barr family. David Barr was born on May 10, 1807 in Scotland, immigrated to Canada in 1833 and died just a year before confederation on May 8, 1866. “I actually helped and did research with some people from the United States and we went to the Barr farm on Thomsonhill,” said Mask. “This Barr had a store and another was a very prominent businessman.” They bought the Roffey Farm on Thomsonhill, specifically Lot 8 Concession 2 in Horton. He married his wife Agnes Airth, was born on May 12, 1814 and died on Jan. 28, 1876. They were married by Rev. Burney, First Methodist Missionary and were the first couple in Renfrew to be married by a minister in 1834. The Barrs had 13 children. Their oldest was Mackie Barr who was born on Jan. 8, 1834 and died on May 30, 1892. He was a farmer who settled in Admaston Township and also owned the Barr Hotel. He married Sarah Muirhead, who was born in 1833 and died in 1907. Another one of their sons was Henry Barr who was born on March 21, 1844 and died on July 31, 1926, he was a farmer in Bromley Township and served two terms

as a Liberal Member of the Ontario Legislature from 1891-1899. These families are just three of the more than 2,000 who lived in Renfrew on Dominion Day 1867. Renfrew itself was incorporated in 1858 and had a population just over 2,000 people. The 1876 town directory listed the population at 2,000 with a considerable commercial and industrial operations, a number of churches, stores, hotels, mills and more. Mask thinks it is critical to know one’s family history. “It is very important to know where you come from and understand what you have become,” said Mask. “A lot of these people come from poor beginnings and were hard workers. The town’s people worked very hard to establish itself, it was the people who kept the town alive.” As Mask reflects on what Canada 150 means for this generation she remembers the people who founded Renfrew and Canada and the legacy they have left behind. “Canada 150 is a celebration of the people who started the villages and gave a base to what it has become today,” said Mask. “Whether it is a
village, town or city today they took these beginnings, that we recorded, and hold dearly, to make Canada what it is today.”

“Canada’s 150th is important because it reminds us of just how blessed we are to live in a welcoming, prosperous, and free country. It is also a time for us to recognize the hard work and determination of previous generations that helped build up the Canada we know and love and to continue that legacy to ensure the best is yet to come.” John Yakabuski, MPP, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke
“When I think of the 150 years it took to put Canada together to make it what we have today I can only imagine what we would look like if we didn’t have our armed forces. They played such an important part in forming our country and paid the highest price. So my thoughts are one of gratitude to all the members of the armed forces and especially those who paid the ultimate price.” Robert Kingsbury, Mayor, Horton Township

“As I consider Canada at 150 years old, I am proud that we continue to cleave to our foundational liberal democratic principles and institutions in an era where they are being increasingly questioned, if not eroded. I am proud that those who hold to different political views are opponents to be vigorously engaged, not enemies to be held in contempt, and that compromise is what allows us to move forward, not a sign of weakness. I am proud that we continue to provide refuge to those fleeing starvation, privation and the unconscionable depravity that humanity uniquely visits upon itself, seeking only safety and security for themselves and their families. I am proud that we continue to recognize the value of a market-based economy but recognize also the limitations of markets and the need for government oversight to ensure their benefits are broadly shared. I am proud that we have enshrined in our constitution that Canadians shall have protected fundamental rights and freedoms. Above all, I am proud that our home and native land remains committed to the idea of unity in diversity. A choir achieves harmony - and is most powerful - only when all voices can be heard.” Michael Donohue, Mayor, Admaston/Bromley

Arnprior & McNab/Braeside Archives: preserving local heritage LAURIE DOUGHERTY Archivist
The Arnprior & McNab/Braeside Archives (AMBA) preserves local documentary heritage that supports genealogists, municipal leaders, historians, students, businesses, community groups and the general public. In 1993 the Arnprior & District Archives opened in the basement of the Arnprior Public Library with a core collection from the Arnprior District Museum. The archives changed its name in 2007 to better reflect its mandate of acquiring the historical records of Arnprior and McNab/ Braeside. A dedicated volunteer board of management, research assistants and special project volunteers are busy year round. The AMBA annual general meeting takes place during
Heritage Week in February each year with guest speakers, tours and special displays. Highlights of our holdings include many fonds (collections) related to the lumber industry in the Ottawa Valley, including records from Gillies Bros. of Braeside, Stewart Mill in Waba and McLachlin Bros. of Arnprior. We also hold the Renfrew County Land Records from 1867–1967, municipal documents and several Women’s Institutes records including Tweedsmuir histories. Our newspaper collection is a popular and rich source of information for family history researchers. The photography collections of Charles Macnamara and the Handford Studio provide beautiful family portraits and scenes of Renfrew, Arnprior and the surrounding area. They also capture life along the Ottawa,
Bonnechere and Madawaska Rivers from the early 1900s. The AMBA acquires different formats of historical records such as maps, photographs, textual records, and electronic files. The archival records are stored in a controlled environment with proper temperature, humidity, lighting and storage materials. They are arranged and described so that researchers can decide if they wish to visit the archives and view the records in person. The Archives is open week-day afternoons and Saturdays by appointment at no charge. Volunteer research assistants are there during this time to assist visitors. The Archives maintains a recently updated and searchable website that Tiffany Lepack/Metroland features four interesting virtual exhibArnprior & McNab/Braeside Archives Laurie Dougherty, archivist. its at www.adarchives.org.

Heritage Renfrew: Ambassador to the community DARLENE MASK President, Heritage Renfrew
Heritage Renfrew Historical Society was founded by Harry Hinchley in 1974 with the assistance of Heritage Canada. He was the first president. The mandate was to collect and preserve documents of importance and also included preservation and protection of the natural and built environment. Harry continued to write historical articles for the Renfrew newspaper. In the 1970s Harry was appointed town historian and held the position until his death in 1992. Marjorie Lindsay shared in Harry’s love for writing, history, sports, music and drama. After the death of Harry she became the town historian. Marjorie and her group of people brought life to the Lumber Baron Festivals. The past came alive as costume dress from the past could be seen on the streets. People came from far away to enjoy the town’s atmosphere of the past and learn about their descendant’s. The events took in dinners, music, tours of the town and information about the people and events of that time. In June 1977 under the direction of Judith Beattie, professional archivist, Renfrew Archives was established. Judy took inventory of the town documents stored in the loft of the fire hall and in the vault and basement of the town hall. Volunteers Dorothy Skinner, Judith Anderson, Marjorie Lindsay, Les Anderson and Helen Clark would assist sorting papers in the loft and town hall basement, but not in the town hall office. The town gave documents to form a Town of Renfrew Manuscript Collection. Judy advised the town at the time to microfilm the births, marriages, deaths register because of the fragile state. The first manuscripts were organized

The Archives had manuscripts, photographs, books and tapes from 1977-1991 which were managed by Marjorie Lindsay. Bus trips were also organized to local historical places. From 1977-1990 Heritage Archives was housed in the Library Programme Centre in the basement of the new town hall and Bonnington House. After the Trinity-St. Andrews United Church burned 1986 Bonnington House was needed for church purposes and then collections were moved and stored in the basement of
Victoria School. In 1990 collections were moved to the National Archives of Canada building on O’Brien Road. A spacious, comfortable, atmosphere controlled room was welcomed and needed to help in the preservation of manuscripts. Ian Wilson, provincial archivist, Sean Conway MPP, Len Hopkins MP, lobbied the federal public works department on our behalf. Heritage Renfrew is viewed by the National Archives as ambassadors to the community for them. Dave Lorente represented Heritage Renfrew at the time. We continue to have good relations with the National Archives and appreciated their friendly interest in our work. They were amazed at the

number of researchers that have visited the site. In the 1980s, Marjorey Lindsay suggested to the board of directors the idea of establishing a genealogical service for the Archives increasing number of queries received. After the decision was made to do so, a microfilm reader was purchased. Dave Lorente agreed to manage genealogy. In 1984 the ‘The History of Renfrew’ book was an enormous literary and research effort that took three years to complete. It now serves as a definitive retrospective of the town and its people. A tremendous undertaking, which was edited by Carol Bennett and produced by Juniper Books. In the 1990s, Heritage Renfrew became an activist group, engaging in local debates of historical importance and to designate buildings. Many plaques were erected over the years commemorating local people and places, through the many grants received from the provincial government. Dave Lorente founded the Home Children of Canada and operated under the umbrella of Heritage Renfrew. His dedication to this research continued well into the 2000s. Files, letters and request pertaining to Home Children were sent to the Ottawa group. Computers had been added to the list of equipment and by the late 90’s internet was the place to search. In 2013 after many years of dedication to Heritage Renfrew, Marjorie’s health declined further and Olga Lewis was appointed by the Town of Renfrew as the Town Historian. Olga is a long time, honorary member who had held many offices. She has compiled many cemetery books and other booklets of information about the Town of Renfrew. Currently, Olga
is working on the History of Raglan Street. We are proud to work with her and have her as a member of Heritage Renfrew. In 2013 Doug Fraser, a member with a keen interest in history and computer background, developed a web-site for Heritage. The site continues to be very active and a good research aid for searching holdings in our research room. In 2017 holdings include over 80 manuscript collections, over 100 family trees, and over 350 books in our library to aid in search of people and places of Renfrew, Renfrew County and surrounding area. Also photo collections, microfiche land records of early settlers, agriculture registers, maps, microfilm of Renfrew newspapers and some surrounding areas. Many birth, death, marriages, business and organization records are held as well. The website search can be used as a guide to what can be found and searched in our Heritage Renfrew research room. Over the years Heritage Renfrew has made many up to date changes and additions in daily operations -all in the name of serving the public. The motto is still to collect, preserve and present information relative to the Town of Renfrew and its people. Heritage Renfrew is a non-profit organization that consists of a group of energetic people who rely on memberships, fundraisers, volunteers and public donations to maintain all daily operations. Volunteers are needed and always welcome. Visit us at National Library and Archives Canada, located at 770 Gibbons Rd., Renfrew, open 1 to 3 Monday and Wednesday.

The Arnprior & McNab/Braeside Archives is celebrating the history of McNab/Braeside Township with a new oral history project, virtual exhibit and market festival to occur on Canada Day. Through the Ontario150 Community Celebration Program the archives received a grant from the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Sport and Culture to explore the connection between how settlers farmed in the early days and what local producers are making today. The 150 Years of Living off the Land project team of Laurie Dougherty, Dianne Brearley, Matt Regan and Ella Hartwick have delved into themes of innovation and continuity for this new project. They interviewed several local families who are producing maple syrup, honey, cattle, alpaca wool products and vegetables from very small scale to large scale producers and searched the archives’ collection for related material. The Arnprior & McNab/Braeside Archives is hosting a special event July 1 from 8 a.m. to noon at the McNab/Braeside Market located at 2473 Russett Dr. (across from the township office). Everyone is invited to visit the market to talk to the vendors and see a display. After July 1, explore the virtual exhibit at www.adarchives.org .

The clock tower at 35 Madawaska Blvd. is the current home of the Arnprior and District Museum and is a designated heritage structure. It took three years to build and opened in 1897 as a federal post office and customs house. This photo is from the Handford Studio collection in the very early 1900s.
Although it has not stood for 150 years, one of the most recognizable features in downtown Renfrew is the clock tower on top of the old post office. When the building was constructed in 1908 it did not have a clock and only later in 1913 a clock was added, after being ordered and shipped from England.
