Fair promises quality midway despite Billy G’s problems Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – The midway show must go on, and it will. At least it will in Arnprior, according to Arnprior Fair board president Jeff Desarmia.

Southern Ontario-based midway operator Billy G Amusements has fostered a lot of uncertainty in the Ottawa Valley in recent weeks, failing to show up at the Maxville Fair in June and last weekend’s Almonte Fair. The Almonte Fair organizers scrambled to bring in another company but could only of-

fer a half dozen rides. The Arnprior Fair Board hired Billy G for the Aug. 7 to 10 Arnprior Fair, and has given the company until yesterday, July 23, to commit. Desarmia met with midway owner Billy Gordon last Friday to discuss the situation, which is related to changes in the foreign work-

ers program that has caused headaches recently for the federal Conservatives and several businesses that rely on workers it provides. “He (Gordon) had a very legitimate reason for us to extend it until Wednesday,” Desarmia said. See FOREIGN Page 3

Paramed strike looming News – A strike by Paramed Home Health Care employees in Renfrew County is inching closer. The 140 home care and support service employees, who serve clients from Arnprior to Pembroke, conducted a demonstration Monday to protest the slowness of contract talks. The workers, members of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU), maintain they are being pushed towards a strike position by their employer. “If that happens many local residents would be left without care critical to keep them in their homes,� says OPSEU. The nurses, home support staff and clerical workers rallied outside Paramed’s Pembroke office for an hour Monday to send a message to their employer. “Without these dedicated workers, there is no home care for many frail residents in Renfrew County,� said OPSEU president Warren ‘Smokey’ Thomas in a news release.

love and a gentle hand for the rest of its senior years, would be more appropriate.� Hemphill reports that the Arnprior Humane Society has also started a Foster Care Program and is looking for “awesome people or families� to help out while pets are waiting for their forever home. The program is ideal for the person who might not, at this time, be able to afford to adopt a pet, she said. The Humane Society will provide the food and medical support needed, while its pets get to live in a real home until adopted. It’s a “win-win situation,� she said. Hemphill said the society’s fundraising efforts have taken a “huge leap forward� with the introduction of “some great new, fun events� and the growth of existing ones. The Wiggle Wiggle Wash and Spa will be held on Sunday, Aug. 9 and the largest participation yet is expected. It is being held at Robert Simpson Park from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and “it’ll be a big splash for the whole family,� said Hemphill. “Bring your dog down for either a grooming, bath or just nail-cutting, then enjoy over 25 exhibitors selling dog clothes, beds, collars, leashes, photography, artists, artisans, guide dogs and an agility demonstration. There will also be a charity barbecue.� In September, the Humane Society will

hold its first Paws For The Harvest Fundraiser. It will be asking for donations of extra veggies from gardens, as well as jars of pickles, jams and preserves. A taste-testing event will take place with guest judges sampling the preserves. There will be first-, second- and third-place ribbons and a gift basket for the winner, and, of course, ‘bragging rights’, Hemphill said. In November, the society will hold its first silent on-line art auction. “Definitely not to be missed, as we will be auctioning off beautiful art from local artists and artisans, just in time for Christmas,� said Hemphill. She urges people to “look out for our flyers for the 2015 year, as we will start the new year with a polar dip and charity breakfast. Let’s see how many brave souls can get sponsored.� Next March will be the society’s first Tattoo fundraiser. “This will appeal to a lot of the younger crowd, so again keep an eye out for information closer to the events,� said Hemphill. She also urges people to take the time to come out and visit the society’s ‘no-kill’ shelter on Didak Drive. “We are always looking for volunteers to help at events, with the dogs and cats, and in the shelter itself,� concludes Hemphill. “It can be very rewarding for yourself and the shelter pets.�

“Of course I’m stressed out,� said Desarmia. We had a very successful fair last year and we wanted to build on that.� Billy G brings in some 20 workers from Mexico, paying them two dollars above minimum wage. It used to cost Gordon $270 per person to do so; now it costs $1,000. Finding Ontario workers willing to lead the transient “carnie� lifestyle, plus take on the many hours of training, has become increasingly difficult. The provincial government, for example, requires the person who presses the green button on the rides to take 14 hours of training. Investing that many hours only to have employees leave after a year or two takes away from profit, as does rising fuel costs for geographically dispersed Valley towns. (Fuel cost is the reason last year’s midway operator backed out.)

Even if Billy G cancels the Arnprior job, Desarmia said fair-goers will not notice the difference between this year’s fair and last. About 10 or 12 rides will be on the fairgrounds. “It’s not going to be a very visible difference in the number of rides,� he said. “No one would know the difference.� Midways are the main moneymakers for fairs, allowing them to invest in entertainers like Doc Walker and Harlequin, the two Arnprior Fair headliners this year. After two years of 12 and 45 per cent sale increases, Desarmia is anxious to keep the momentum going. “The midway was helping us with money to bring in the Doc Walkers,� he said. “If we were to go with four or five rides, next year it could be just local entertainers.� Carp and Renfrew use another midway company for their fairs.

News - The Arnprior and District Humane Society is on a mission. With “dynamic� new board members, it is aiming to serve the community better with new programs and fundraisers, reports director Val Hemphill. Among the several new innovative initiatives tackled by the Humane Society this year is the offering of ‘Humane’ education in the schools. This program is an interactive initiative formed to bring awareness and responsible pet ownership to the next generation, explains Hemphill. “It is geared to the different age and grade levels and addresses all aspects of pet ownership, including picking the right pet for your family, approaching pets, and cleanliness.� Another “exciting program� in the works is the ‘Seniors For Seniors’ program. “It has always been difficult to home senior pets, so this program will match up a senior pet with a senior citizen,� said Hemphill, speaking for the board of directors in a news release in the form of an open letter to the community. “It will provide a senior citizen with company but not with the challenges of a new puppy or kitten. An older, quieter, more settled pet, that requires the minimum of activity, but needs a home that will provide

Arnprior District High School

News – Cemetery rates in Arnprior are set to jump dramatically, but the final cost will likely remain about the same. Jennifer Morawiec, Arnprior’s director of corporate services/treasurer, presented a report to council at its July 14 meeting. She suggested the cost of grave and cremation plots increase by about 40 per cent. The current cost - at the near-full Albert Cemetery and the Malloch Cemetery on Usborne Street - for

a grave is $513, including lot and maintenance. Staff recommends raising that to $680. A cremation plot is $231 and should rise to $350, Morawiec said. Non-residents would see a 25 per cent increase on top of the new amount. Her rationale is based on those comparables from other Ontario municipalities. They show Arnprior’s rates are the lowest. (The new costs would put Arnprior at the median.) That has led to a situation where Ottawa families are increasingly seeking a better deal by coming to Arnprior. All cemeteries in Ottawa

are privately owned, and costs range between $2,800 and $4,400, according to Morawiec’s research. However, Reeve Walter Stack took issue with the comparables, which included farflung municipalities such as Brantford, Owen Sound and Gravenhurst. He said comparing Arnprior with similar sized Valley towns, such as Carleton Place, would give a better indication of how local fees rank. “I’m not that comfortable with the comparables,” Stack said. Although Morawiec countered that the inclusion of private cem-

eteries would show Arnprior is even further behind, Stack said there are nearby public cemeteries that should have been in the report. Most cemeteries in nearby towns are privately or church owned. Elsewhere in the report is the suggestion that ready mix concrete no longer be mandatory for graves. Mayor David Reid said that, and other changes, will prove a considerable savings to families. So much so it will likely offset any fee increase. Council will discuss the issue again at an upcoming Monday evening meeting.

Town may add recycle bins Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – Arnprior could litter the town with up to 60 recycle bins in a bid to redirect waste away from the landfill. Environmental engineering officer Deanna Streifel made the suggestion at the July 14 council meeting. It was detailed in the third of three landfillrelated reports that council will take the summer to digest before making any decisions. The town wants to divert as much waste as possible in order to extend the life of the landfill and delay the costly alternatives to follow. Streifel explained that three sets of kid friendly recycling containers at the Nick Smith Centre proved “an immediate success” last November. “The addition of recycling containers to other public areas such as in public parks, along downtown streets, and in other town facilities is a potential next step,” she said. If the bins were put next to the roughly 60 garbage cans in town, it would cost between $30,000 and $152,700, depending on the style chosen. They range in cost from

$500 to $2,545 each. Extra labour and equipment costs would total $20,000, but could be covered internally. The company collecting recycled materials would add another charge dependent on volume. Streifel said the move could solve several problems: • pop bottles and cans mixed with garbage would instead be recycled; • litter would be reduced; • overflowing garbage cans would happen less frequently; • allow the town to show leadership in recycling. “The inclusion of recycling bins in gateway areas, parks, and other key busy areas would help to reduce littering, reduce the number of incidents where garbage is found to be overflowing, and would help to demonstrate leadership by the town to increase diversion rates,” she said. Mayor David Reid said garbage crews should empty overflowing cans as soon as the town is made aware they are full. Staff has asked council to complete a survey regarding various landfill-related issues. It will be back to the council table in September.

Wasteland, wonderland Arnprior may spread treated human waste along the perimeters of its landfill site in Braeside. Last year the town generated about 150 tonnes of “anaerobically digested sludge” or bio-solids, council was told at its July 14 meeting. Advancements make the soil-like waste, from the pollution control centre, much drier and odourless. The province would have to OK the use of bio-solids as cover material rather than landfill. Town staff is unsure if the ministry of the environment will agree, but a public comment period would take place first.

News – Canada’s nuclear energy industry is in danger if the “anti-Canadian” NDP party wins power, said Cheryl Gallant. The Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP made the comments in a press release detailing a recent tour of the nuclear power plant in her riding. “While the Canadian energy industry is safe with a Conservative government, I am very concerned about our future now that anti-Canadian energy critics control the official opposition in Ottawa,” Gallant said in the release from her office. “Too many jobs are at stake both here locally and across the country to allow that imbalance to continue.” The gaffe-prone Gallant, who toured the Chalk River Laboratories of AECL with fellow Conservatives Mike Wallace and Erin O’Toole in late June, didn’t elaborate on the treason assertion or on her party’s record of keeping jobs safe in Ren-

frew County. But an NDP MP from Ottawa said Gallant’s hyperbole and politics of division are well known on the hill. As are her fits of paranoia. “She’s just making stuff up again,” said Paul Dewar. “She lets her beliefs get way ahead of the facts. She gets caught up in these conspiracy theories that are no help to her constituents.” He points to her lone opposition to the heritage river designation for the Ottawa River. The Ottawa would have it now were not her belief that it would inexplicably affect waterfront property rights, says Dewar. However, Dewar is much more concerned about research jobs that could be slashed as AECL shifts next year from government-owned but contractor-operated under the Conservative government. It is expected that the 2,850 employees will lose their pension plan eligibility, other public service benefits, and ability to contribute to local businesses if incomes shrink. “These are really good paying jobs. And with cutbacks on the (Petawawa)

base, what are they doing to create opportunities in Renfrew County?” Dewar said. “I know they are giving out corporate tax cuts, but with no obligation to create jobs.” His first concern with AECL moving to private hands is for safety standards to take a backseat to shortterm profits. Then there are the millions of dollars Canadians have put toward Atomic Energy of Canada over the decades, making it a power-

WHO WINS FROM AECL?

Then the transition to a yet-tobe-named contractor that stands to make, in Dewar’s estimation, a lot of money. But it is the good-jobs threat in Renfrew county – Dewar’s grandparents are from Sand Point and

Douglas, where he spend summers growing up – that has him most concerned. “People are hurting real bad in Renfrew and a jobs plan would be nice,” he said. “I think most people would agree that things have not been growing in the Valley. That’s why we need something more positive than conspiracy theories. We need to invest in the greater good.”

MP calls for ‘smart meter’ investigation News – Maintaining she has been flooded with complaints from Ontario Hydro One customers, RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant is asking for a federal government investigation into smart metres. In a news release, Gallant reported she has requested federal Industry Minister James Moore to initiate an investigation into Hydro One’s “socalled ‘smart meters.” Currently, an investigation into the billing practices of Hydro One is being conducted by the Ombudsman of Ontario, she noted. “I have contacted Minister Moore in his capacity as the Minister responsible for Measurement Canada and the Office of Consumer Affairs, on behalf of the 6,961 registered complaints with the Ombudsman of Ontario, many of whom are constituents in my riding of Renfrew-NipissingPembroke,” said Gallant. “These individuals are questioning the billing practices of Ontario Crown Corporation, Hydro One. Specifically, I have requested an Industry Canada Special Investigation into the use and operation of ‘smart meters’ by Hydro One. As you are aware, electricity meters are regulated by the federal government,” wrote Gallant. She says she has been “inundated” with complaints from Ontario Hydro One customers.

MP Cheryl Gallant is with a constituent upset over smart meters. Gallant asked federal Industry Minister James Moore to investigate. “While the provincial government is responsible for the crippling high electricity rates that have hollowed out the manufacturing sector in Ontario, Industry Canada regulates equipment such as gasoline pumps, gas and electricity meters,” noted Gallant. She said she has confirmed with the Office of the Ontario Ombudsman that the scope of its investigation is confined to billing practices, not the operation of the so-called smart meters. Yet, Hydro One has admitted it has had to replace thousands of smart

meters, she said. “With the requirement to accurately measure a customer’s energy consumption, and the ability of the new hydro billing system to interact with the smart meters, an Industry Canada investigation would assist the Ombudsman in his efforts. That office has confirmed its interest in a smart meter investigation, and has pledged full co-operation to help fix this problem.” Gallant said that during her 14 years as a MP, just one other issue, the long gun registry, has provoked a more emotional reaction.

Township debates nusiance animal control problem John Carter

john.carter@metroland.com

News – The Township of McNab-Braeside will consider providing a nuisance animal service for its residents, but not for free. At its July 15 council meeting, councillors discussed the pros and cons of offering the service in response to a recent complaint by a resident who got into a tussle with a skunk. Another resident phoned to ask about what to do about moles in Sand Point and there have been a number of calls in the past on everything from raccoons and fishers to bears and deer, councillors noted. Municipal and provincial regulations don’t permit shooting the animals in residential areas as used to be the solution. Deputy clerk Lindsey Parkes presented council with two cost quotes on tackling small-

er nuisance animal, one from a local trapper and the other from the township’s livestock evaluator, who has a trapper’s licence. The trapper offered to live trap and release skunks, raccoons and fishers for $50 plus mileage, with the fee being $75 for beavers. The livestock evaluator suggested the fee would range between $35 and $100 plus mileage for a program that would include education, deterrence, prevention and live trapping (if required). The evaluator also suggested she could provide a separate follow-up visit to ensure the measures are working and make a report to council. Council asked Parkes to come back with a suggested schedule of fees for the service before it made a final decision. Mayor Mary Campbell suggested such a service would have value in helping with growing problems caused by the “human-wildlife inter-

face.” Some people don’t know how to cope with nuisance animals and don’t seem to be getting much response from private companies, she said. She said she liked the education component of the evaluator’s proposal. “Welcome to rural Ontario,” she said. However, the municipality would have recover any costs for such a service, she emphasized. “We don’t want one neighbour paying for another’s animal problems,” she said. Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie questioned whether the municipality should be considering providing the service on private property. “It’s one thing for problems on township property … but if we do it for citizens, we’d need four trappers,” she said. However, she said she’d be supportive of offering a service as a pilot project as long as there was cost recovery. It would fit in with the livestock evaluator’s

role, she added. Coun. Brad McIlquham expressed concern that in 90 per cent of the cases, the animal would have gone by the time the trapper arrived. “Would they still get paid,” he asked. Coun. Aldene Styles cautioned that such an initiative could “snowball” with people calling to get deer out of their gardens. But Blimkie said that if the township sets up a for-fee service she doesn’t expect many people “to take us up on it.” Nevertheless, “at least we haven’t ignored them (complainants),” she added. Councillors recalled that the township had been stymied when trying to do something about wild cats in the Braeside area because of the expense of housing them and the inability to recover costs. However, cat regulations are different than that governing wildlife, it was noted. R0012811868/0724 68/0724

Moderate compensation

The sages throughout time have lauded moderation and warned against greed. But societies - depending on where they rest on the arch of their existence - ignore the advice at their peril. Many would say our society, even our entire western civilization, is approaching its downward slope. We shun personal restraint by raising emotion over intellect. We worship excess by raising the consumer over the citizen. The results are most pronounced in the behaviour of public figures, including politicians. There can be no doubt that the vast majority of our politicians are overpaid. To believe otherwise is to have fallen for the elitists’ ruse of: “To attract quality people you must offer attractive compensation packages.� The sentiment was borrowed recently by Arnprior town council when discussing their own pay raises. They chose to give out pay raises, passing the bylaw at the July 14 meeting. The mayor’s pay will increase by about $4,000, to $30,330. Councillors’ pay will rise about $2,000, to $15,84. Arnprior council has done the right thing. It is possible in our society to imagine a situation where politicians are not being paid enough. It’s reality is in our town. Aristotle talked about ‘the golden mean’.

He favoured moderation, of course, but not to the point of handicap. One solution to attract a more diverse array of candidates - gender, age, class, etc. - is to bump up pay. Arnprior council settled for the median amount paid to a variety of neighbouring councils. They also postponed the increases until after the Oct. 27 election, meaning those on council now are not necessarily voting themselves a raise. Contrast that with the situation in Ottawa soon after Larry O’Brien was elected in 2006. He and council accepted a 23 and 35 per cent raise, respectively, at the beginning of their four-year term. It was voted on by the previous council, but it came after he campaigned on a four-year tax freeze. And look how that term of council went? A costly failure. It is wise to acknowledge where people fall below the golden mean: minimum wage workers are below the poverty line; nurses, social workers, parents of disabled children need more support. A small town council should attract quality candidates. But it is equally crucial to recognize those who are flat out greedy - millionaire CEOs who have risen to their level of incompetency - can not hide behind the “attractive compensation packages� argument.

Hats off to the Cyclosportif organizers To the Editor, On a rainy Sunday, July 13, I headed down to Robert Simpson Park to see what this Champlain’s Folly Cyclosportif event I read details of in the Chronicle-Guide was all about. I arrived a few minutes late and spoke to a couple of the organizers at the starting line. I did not have my wallet with me (and it had no money in it anyway), but the courteous and friendly organizers told me I could follow the route anyway and to have a good time. I did both and I wanted to publicly thank them for their time, their friendliness, their kindness and their great event.

Boat launch boondoggle Government money caused by mayor, council is our money The mayor has said she has moved on from the frustration phase over this. Well, most of us from M-B and Arnprior can’t move on yet until all that has been done is undone with our neighbours. OMG – give it up. The big ‘city’ of Arnprior isn’t going to take M-B’s cows and pumpkins away. Please get me to the fall election. E.J. Murch McNab-Braeside

To the Editor: With family and friends, I attended the Horton Community Centre’s July 1 breakfast which we greatly enjoyed. The volunteers did a superb job, breakfast was excellent. And the hall was packed with so many red and white garbed people I couldn’t turn around in my seat when some of the attendant politicians addressed the crowd.

But one of their comments was as irritating as an ant at a picnic: they spoke of how funds were raised to make the Horton Community Centre “the best in Renfrew County” and that the feds had even given up some of “their” money. Just a reminder to the kind folks who represent us. It is not “their” money; it is our’s. Wendy Tessier White Lake

Letter writer Chris Tomian, whose boat is pictured at left last week at the old Red Pine Bay launch, didn’t share in the complaints levelled over the facility. Others are upset that the new launch, not in photo, is out of commission less than a year after it opened. It has accumulated silt and the long cold winter didn’t help either.

Local players under spotlight in rebuilt stadium Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

Opinion – The only thing wrong with cities is the people. As in too many. Call me a curmudgeon, but since escaping the national capital five years ago, I find every excuse to avoid going back. Congestion, the line-ups and elusive parking spots – why bring back the stress? On Sunday I voluntarily chose to drive in. It was to see the Fury’s first ever game at the newly reconstructed TD Place. Unfortunately it broke a NASL league record with 14,593 tickets sold. That’s a lot of people. Yet oddly enough it didn’t feel that way. And nary a car to be seen. The old field at Lansdowne held plenty of memories: CFL and Grey Cup drama; Women’s World Cup and FIFA U-20; and The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, and Tragically Hip. But when cracks started spreading in Frank Clair Stadium in 2007, even the crankiest sentimentalist agreed it was time to do something else. Fast-forward past the controversies – solesourcing, less than 100 per cent greenspace, moving historic buildings, potential traffic tie ups – and council entered a partnership. The Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group (headed by ‘67s owner Jeff Hunt) convinced the city

to spend $129.3 million to renovate the stadium and for its share of the parking. OSEG committed $117.3 million for the construction of retail and residential condominiums on the site. OSEG would own the new commercial development and operate the stadium, with a portion of the revenues directed back to the city. MINIVAN FANS

We – two dads, five boys - were there to cheer on young twins from Arnprior who played a pre-game scrimmage. We also wanted to see defenceman Kenny Caceros, the Kanata player and longtime Cheshire Cat bartender who plays for the Fury. OK – basically I was there to check out the new digs. With all the hoopla in city papers and newscasts, my curiosity was piqued. Can you squeeze 15,000 soccer fans – 25,000 football fans two days earlier – into a Bank Street building? Yes, if you begin as we did by parking at Carleton University. It is amazing how much space a ton of metal on rubber takes up. We ditched the minivan and waited about one minute for a school bus to pick up us and a couple of dozen others. So much for sardineing it with city people. We got the backseat,

which means a lot to kids who walk to school. The driver didn’t ask for tickets. The cost is included in the ticket price at the stadium. Five minutes later, having cut through an upscale neighbourhood, we poofed in front of Lansdowne. Coming over the Bank Street Bridge, the first thing you notice is the homage to Canada’s forestry industry. Wooden strips spaced about a foot apart roll up the south side exterior. It is the image used in the stadium’s lacrosse-like logo. ABERDEEN CHARM

At the drop-off point, the same wide promenade funnels us cattle-people down toward the ticket booths. The walk offers an impressive view of the still charming Aberdeen Pavilion. Tip: buy the cheapest soccer tickets available, than wander freely. The one catch has to do with crossing the on-site pedestrian bridge. We were asked three times for our tickets near that stretch. Seemed a bit much. Watching soccer from eye-level will cost you a few more dollars, but it sacrifices your ability to see play-making. The stretch passes and other big picture strategies are best seen from our seats in the elevated section. And way fewer people there, a big plus.

The beer guy comes along just as often, so that’s how to spend all the money saved on tickets. AWE-INSPIRING

Arnprior’s Pianosi twins, Sam and Jake, had great fun on the field playing against their Ottawa West team before the main show started. They tied 1-1. They took more than enough time to stare up in awe at the mountain of seats on either side. Mom and dad as two specks in the universe. Caceros’ team lost to the New York Cosmos 1-0. The Fury had 55 per cent possession time, seven more shots, plenty of opportunities, but couldn’t get the soccer gods on their side. NASL, one down from the top league in North America, puts on exciting soccer. With no commercial breaks or video replay in the big screen, you have to pay close attention and hope the beer guy counts the proper change. The best part of the day was the post-game walk back to the buses. Minimal jostling with the other cattle-people. A brisk pace, about one minute to wait for a bus – again the back seat! – and in no time we were back in the minivan heading home again. All and all it gets two thumbs up from this curmudgeon.

Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, July 24, 2014 11

ADHS had many excellent female athletes in early 1960s Jim Silye

Sports - Back in April of this year, I wrote about Arnprior District High School’s best male athletes of the early ‘60s and a number of readers of the article asked me why I didn’t include the female sex. I told them that would come next as a separate story. So here it is. Now you have to remember watching the girls play sports back then was in a lot of ways different than today. For instance, in basketball the guards could not go past half court and they could not shoot at the basket. For the girls, volleyball replaced football, but they supported the boy’s football program by becoming cheerleaders (and we were glad of it). The other sports were basketball, badminton, and track and field. Also I should mention that the high school yearbooks, which were my main source of stats and info, gave more coverage to the boys than the girls. Just to be clear, I will only use maiden names (the men don’t deserve to be mentioned because this is all about the girls, the ladies, the women). During my five years in high school, I know who I recognized as excellent female athletes, but to get a handle on those who were in Grades 12 and 13 while I was in 9 and 10, I had to do a little research. And guess what I found out that I did not know at all. There were four young ladies

who played on the Arnprior school basketball team that never lost a game, winning the championship every year. They became known as ‘The Charmed Four’ – Donna Boswell, Bonnie McLean, Linda Buder and Susan Levy. In the 1960-61 school year, these Senior Girls won the Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association League Trophy and the ‘A’ division of the Ottawa Ladies Senior Basketball Association Invitational Tournament, defeating the Lanark team by a foul shot 10-9 (close one, eh?). Of course, the basketball team could not have won without the likes of Donna Rafter, who was a top marksman (or should I say markswoman) for the red and white basketball team and also played on the school volleyball team (she was tall); Mary Murphy, the sharpshooter; Judy Schlievert, who on any night could be the star shooter and also played volleyball; and Judy Bennett, captain of the basketball team who was the leading scorer in many games, captain of the volleyball team, and who also took the time to be a football cheerleader and in my opinion was the best all-round female athlete in the group that was older than me. Having said that, I must admit that Donna Boswell is right up there as well. She was (she’s still alive) the most sports-minded and active athlete in the school, the over-all track and field champion in 1963 at the Arnprior meet, on the school badminton and volleyball teams, and even had time to coach the cheerleaders and be the vice-president of the Athletic Society.

SUBMITTED BY JIM SILYE FROM THE RE-ECHO ADHS YEAR BOOKS

‘The Charmed Four’ of, from left, Donna Boswell (three years), Bonnie McLean (four years), Linda Buder (three years) and Susan Levy (four years) never lost a game while playing for ADHS basketball teams in the late 1950s and late ‘60s. But since I lived on 1st Avenue and Judy lived on 2nd Avenue and we played catch and run a lot, Judy gets my vote (sorry, Donna). In any case, these girls won the county championship many times in many sports for Arnprior. So going into Grade 10, when I started to get a little bit more interested in girls, I found that there was a lot of them who were not only good-looking but were outstanding athletes. Here is my list and for those of you whom I fail to mention remember - this is just one man’s opinion. In alphabetical order the following girls, ladies, women (I want to be politically correct) caught my athletic eye: Carolyn Burton - In 1961, captain of the basketball and volleyball teams, also played on the school badminton team. See SILYE Page 14

Mary McCann: captained the ADHS volleyball team in 1964.

Girones Lawyers

Carolyn Burton, ADHS volleyball and basketball team captain in the early 1960s.

Kathy Crowell - an all-round athlete, very sports-minded who was outstanding in basketball, played on the volleyball team, and was an excellent track and field sprinter. She was the senior champ at the 1965 County Track meet in Deep River. Barbara Jackson - played on all the school teams, an excellent guard in basketball, played on the volleyball team, the badminton team and also was a good runner in track (so fast she wouldn’t let me catch her until Grade 11). Pat Jones - also played on all the teams, basketball, volleyball and badminton. Mary McCann - her main sport was volleyball, which she captained in 1965. Nan Mulvihill - played volleyball and was a seriously good forward in basketball. Bonnie Russell - on the volleyball team, captain of the 1963-64 basketball team, found time to be a cheerleader and was the Football Queen in the same year. Bonnie Stott – basketball, volleyball, track and field, you name it, she could play it. Senior champ at the Arnprior local track meet in 1964.

Her specialties were the field events where she set a high jump record of 4’3” at Renfrew County meet in 1963. She “put the shot” if you will and won the long jump at the county meet in 1964. One of my favourites to watch compete, always a valuable team player in all the sports she played. For those of you who remember, Arnprior always had great male and female athletes in the ‘60s and I’ve only written about a few of them in the two articles because it would become a novel if I touched on everyone whoever played for ADHS. O.K. In my humble opinion, from the above list, Bonnie Stott was the best all-round athlete at ADHS within my age group at that time. Close runner-up would be Kathy Crowell, who was also a fierce competitor. So that’s it for the girls, ladies, women. Hope you enjoyed the trip down memory lane and I guess there goes my chances for a date with the Football Queen, eh? P.S. Both Judy Bennett and Bonnie Stott have since passed away, while all the rest I believe are still alive – probably under assumed names.

Called “Hellgrammite,� they are the aquatic larva of the dobsonfly. Also called grampus, go-devils, or crawlerbottoms, they live under rocks at the bottoms of lakes, streams and rivers, and can also inflict painful bites on humans.

The anticoagulants ensure that blood keeps flowing; those chemicals and more importantly the way the flies access your blood are why bites from Black Flies and Tabanids bleed so much while those from Mosquitoes do not. Recent studies have shown that Deer Flies are less attracted to striped patterns than they are to solid colours. So to attract fewer of those flies you might consider wearing those patterns.

When a mosquito homes in on you and performs little aerial spirals as it approaches, it is tracking trails of both those items. Thus, if you sweat excessively or breathe heavily, you attract more mosquitoes. Upon landing, a mosquito inserts its needle-like mouthparts into a blood vessel, adds some saliva loaded with anticoagulants, and then begins to pump blood into its body. Other biting flies access blood in a different way. They slice into your skin, often in a scissor-like motion, severing several capillaries that pool

Lifestyle - Our world is dominated by insects. Their numbers exponentially exceed those of all other creatures and their diversity is mindboggling. Many own unusual body shapes, some (like those of Praying Mantids) have inspired the creation of monsters in science fiction thrillers. Others possess unrivalled beauty; rare is the person who fails to gasp in admiration at the sight of a Luna. But not all insects draw accolades of appreciation. In fact a few groups inspire utterings of foul language. They are also behind the success of billion-dollar enterprises that manufacture repellents, protective clothing, and armies of killing devices. The latter include “bug zappers,� sinister devices of which some attract and electrocute not only desired targets but also other night-active insects including harmless and beneficial species. We may not like them, but biting insects are genuinely

Learning Days prepares for launch of full day kindergarten News - In September all 23 Renfrew County public school board elementary schools will offer full day, every day kindergarten (FDK). Board staff, educators and the greater Renfrew County community are working together to prepare for the about 1,000 kindergarten students who will be attending school each and every day starting this September. BOARD-WIDE

All public board Kindergarten educator teams, along with the Renfrew County child care community, met in June at Algonquin College in the Ottawa Valley to take part in the school board-hosted FDK Learning Days. “It takes a village to raise a child,” public school board assistant superintendent of early learning and board operations, Cathy McCann-Kyte, said. “FDK Learning Days is all about educators and our community, as a whole, coming together to support student achievement and well-being.” Kindergarten teachers, early childhood educators, principals,

Numeracy Facilitator Shelagh McCarthy speaks with Renfrew County public school board Kindergarten educator teams as the board prepares for full day, every day kindergarten starting this September. vice-principals, special education support workers, Ministry of Education personnel, Aboriginal community leaders, child care providers, members of the Home School association and representatives from the co-terminus board all took part in the three-day workshop, which provided participants with

insights into the FDK program. The focus was placed on emergent reading, writing and math through the lens of learning through inquiry. Another focus was the importance of student assessment and feedback to improve learning. Renfrew County public board

staff, including student success teacher Heather Fleming, numeracy facilitator Shelagh McCarthy and school counsellor Kathi Rosbottom, all spoke to the importance of collaborative problem-solving in both the area of academics and character development while at the same time allowing the participants

to have conversations about their evidence-based practices. As a follow-up to the workshop, Dr. Stuart Shanker, a Canadian expert in the area of self-regulation, will be speaking to all public board Kindergarten educator teams and members of the community as the new year unfolds in September.

MINIMIZE THE FINAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY OF YOUR ESTATE proper planning, a deceased’s “ Without income tax liability could be significant Did you know that approximately 80% of Canadians will donate to a charity during their lifetime? However, it is estimated that less than 10% will include a gift to a registered charity in their Will.

By Marty Clement, Leader EY’s Professionals Services marty.clement@ca.ey.com (613) 598-4894

This is one of a series of several articles intended to build awareness about the impact of legacy giving to Forever CHEO. In addition to the spiritual and community benefits of gifting to a registered charity, naming a registered charity as a beneficiary in your Will can also be an effective way to minimize the final income tax liability

of an estate. Without proper planning, a deceased’s income tax liability could be significant. Various income inclusions at the time of death, such as deemed capital gains and the fair market value of an RRSP can result in a higher than expected estate income tax liability given Canada’s graduated income tax rates.

Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash legacies, bequests of real or personal property, securities, life insurance proceeds and all or part of the residue of the estate. All of these gifts can potentially generate tax credits available to reduce an estate’s income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting of certain types of capital property to Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will may avoid capital gains but still maximize the tax credits available from such a gift.

If you are interested in finding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at

megandoyle@cheofoundation.com or (613) 738-3694

”

Please feel free to contact any member of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee for more information about minimizing the tax liability of your estate and how you can make a lasting impact on the kids and families at CHEO. We would be happy to help you create your Forever CHEO legacy for generations of CHEO patients.

Catholic school board raises funds for charity News – As part of Catholic Education Week celebrations in May 4 to 9, staff and students of the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board raised funds for the Renfrew County Child Poverty Action Network (CPAN). Proceeds of a board-wide casual dress-down day resulted in a $1,400 donation. “This is a very real demonstration of the theme of Catholic Education Week, ‘Serving in the Love of Christ’, and one way we can live out the sub-theme, ‘Serve with compassion’,” said Tony Cosentino, the board’s religious and family life education resource teacher. CPAN works to eliminate the effects of child poverty locally. Two of its main programs to achieve that goal are Operation Snowsuit to ensure children are warm and dry in winter

Arnprior student earns major award at St. Joseph’s graduation Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News – During the graduation ceremony at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School in Renfrew, Sarah McGrath of Arnprior received the prestigious Catholic Education Foundation of Ontario Catholic School Award. The major award is given out for exemplary conduct, service and achievement. “I put so much effort into my religion and my faith, and I worked to get here,” said the 19-year-old who was on the school’s pastoral team

for four years. Now headed to study media communications at Algonquin College, she said she will most miss the teachers at St. Joseph’s. “They care about your excellence, your achievements; and they work really hard with you to put you in this place that you are in today.” One of the main themes of the graduation ceremony for the school’s class of 2014 was ‘If you don’t succeed, try again, with faith, fervour and focus’. The two-hour ceremony, held on June 26, concluded with a video by the students and closing comments

by principal Brennan Trainor. Opening remarks included those of David Howard, vice-chair of the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board, who reminded the graduates of their faith with the words: “Always remember that Jesus asks of you only this – to act justly, to love tenderly and to walk humbly with God.” Similarly, valedictorian Mary McNulty spoke about the importance of persistence. “Life is a lot like riding a bicycle,” she said. “To keep your balance, you must keep moving. And this is exactly what we are doing

here this evening. “When every single one of you walked across the stage tonight, not only did you look the part, but you detached the training wheels from your bikes, and prepared to charge headfirst into whatever life may have in store for you. “Just like your first attempt at riding a bike, things may seem intimidating at first, but never fear, because eventually you will get the hang of things and you’ll be tearing up your neighbourhood in no time.” The ceremony featured the presentation of more than 100 awards, bursaries or scholarships.

CONDO FOR SALE White pine fundraiser About $1,000 was raised for the White Pine Festival on Sunday, July 20 with the Giant Tiger yard sale. Festival organizers Art Smith and Mike Marcil were elated with the turnout; at times the Nick Smith Centre yard sale was packed with people, they said. The third annual event raises money for Arnprior’s summer festival, even more important this year for the festival that lost a major backer because the downtown business improvement area (BIA) is dormant this year. The festival will run from Aug. 22 and 24 in downtown Arnprior and at Robert Simpson Park.

Sullivan’s gives White Pine a boost News - With the Arnprior downtown Business Improvement Association (BIA) in dormancy this year, several local businesses and organizations have stepped up to fill the void left by the loss of the BIA’s annual contribution to the White Pine Festival. Among the businesses providing significant donations to the festival, which runs Aug. 22 to 24, is M. Sullivan and Son.

The Sullivan’s donation was made as part of the company’s 100th anniversary celebrations this year. “Without companies like Sullivan’s stepping up to the plate, we’d be in dire straits,” said White Pine Festival representative Mike Marcil. The money will go toward helping to pay for musicians and children’s activities at the festival in downtown Arnprior and Robert Simpson Park.

Provincial child benefit payment on the rise

Sunday July 27 2-4 pm Andra Bettencourt

Families with an annual net income of $20,000 or less receive the full OCB for each child under the age of 18. Families earning more may be eligible for partial benefits based on their income and the number of children they have under the age of 18. The OCB was introduced in 2007. Monthly OCB payments began in July 2008 with a maximum annual benefit payment of $600 per child per year. By increasing the maximum Ontario Child Benefit to $1310 this month and indexing it to inflation beginning July 2015, the provincial government is proposing to invest $160 million more for eligible families across Ontario.

News – Many Ontario families are receiving an increase of up to $100 per child annually to their Ontario Child Benefit (OCB) payment. As a result of the 2013 and 2014 increases, an estimated 90,000 additional children in 46,000 more families are eligible for the OCB for the first time. With these increases, the benefit has more than doubled since 2008. As part of provincial budget, the province is proposing to tie the OCB to inflation starting July 2015, to help eligible families keep pace with the costs of raising children. Increasing the OCB is part of Ontario’s plan to break down barriers for low-income Ontarians and reduce poverty.

Impaired drivers nabbed on Baskin Drive last week News – The message is clear, don’t drink and drive. The OPP nabbed two drivers on Baskin Drive for alcohol-related offenses on the road last week.

They were two of 218 calls for service responded by the Renfrew OPP detachment, which includes Arnprior, last week. Among the calls were 17 traffic collisions, making it 37 crashes in the last two weeks in the Renfrew-Arnprior area.

News – Ottawa police report that an Arnprior man is one of three charged for defrauding a senior citizen of more than $250,000 in what they are calling a renovation scam. Ottawa Police reported last week that its Fraud Section has laid charges against the three men for the ‘scam’ that lasted almost three years.

According to police, the senior citizen was first approached in June 2011 by the men to do work around the house. Over the following three years, the men would return to the house uninvited to complete unnecessary projects, allege police The victim would be charged for work that

was never completed or very poorly done, they said. As a result of the police investigation into a complaint filed in October 2013, Donald Burton, 49, of Arnprior and Tong Tran, 40, of Ottawa face one count of fraud over $5,000. They and Keong Tang, 47, a foreign national

Mystery shopper emails a scam, company says “The forged cheques and documentation may in some cases be received after the recipient has applied or been contacted for employment as a mystery shopper. “Victims of the scam are typically defrauded when they send funds to their ‘employer’ as part of a mystery shopping assignment and, subsequently, the payment issued to the victim is denied when the forged cheque bounces after being deposited.�

Gil Read memorial tourney to feature excellent competition Jeff Maguire

Although Sharon Lightning is unavailable this time Thunderbellys, from the small village of Elkland in north-central Pennsylvania, will be competing for a third straight year. “The Elkland people really enjoy our tournament and it is great to have them back again. After last year they are the early favourites,� Chris stresses. Most of the teams and players involved this year are from either the Greater Ottawa Fastball League (GOFL) or other men’s leagues in the district. Leading the Eastern Ontario entries will be Micksburg Twins, from the Pembroke area, the defending GOFL champions. This season Twins are in the middle of the pack in the seven-team loop, but the standings are very close at present. The other GOFL teams who have signed on for the competition are Stittsville 56ers, Kanata Pirates and local favourites, Fitzroy Harbour West Carleton Electric. Stittsville and Kanata are currently battling for first place in the league. Also penciled in are a local tournament team, the Ottawa Valley A’s, comprised of players from West Carleton. They will be joined by Ottawa Broker 4 Tickets from the Glen Cairn Men’s Fastball League along with an all-star entry from the Trend Arlington Men’s Fastball League in Ottawa.

Sports – The ‘Gil Read Memorial Fastpitch Tournament’ has become a highlight on the summer sports calendar in Ottawa and Eastern Ontario. Players and fans alike are looking forward to the seventh annual edition, which will be staged in Carp this weekend July 25-27. Chris Read, the son of the late Gil Read and his cousin Al Read are once again heading the committee which organizes the three-day tournament. Unlike last year, when the event reached its maximum 12 teams, this year was more challenging in terms of confirming clubs to compete. “Some years are like this. Summer is such a busy time and some people have other activities to attend. So a few teams who usually play in our tournament are unavailable this year,� Chris explains. “But we now have 10 teams confirmed. It will be a very good competition and we urge fastpitch fans to come out and enjoy some excellent games on the final weekend of this month,� he adds. One team who will be back is last year’s runners-up, the Elkland Thunderbellys from Pennsylvania. They lost to Sharon (Ontario) Lake Simcoe Lightning in the 2013 tournament championship game.

DEALS YOU LOVE

FOR LESS

Returning to the Carp showdown is another perennial competitor, the Napanee (Shoeless Joe’s) Junior Express. Napanee made it to the playoff round last year before losing to eventual tournament champion Sharon Lightning in the quarter finals. The 10th and final team to join the cast is Domville Aces, a tournament team from the Prescott-Brockville area. Again this year all games will be played on the two diamonds at the Carp Fairgrounds, which are considered among the finest fastball fields in the region. All proceeds from the tournament will go to the Gil Read Memorial Foundation. The foundation assists underprivileged youngsters who wish to play sports, but otherwise would not have the funds necessary to take part. The 2013 venture raised the most money yet for this worthwhile cause. “It is nice to have Elkland, Napanee and Domville involved,� Read observes. “But with so many local teams and players taking part, it means we should have a lot of family members and friends coming to the games. That should really help our attendance.� The tournament is held in memory of Chris Read’s father Gil, a long-time fastball coach who died tragically in 2007. The following year the first competition was held at Carlington Park in Ottawa. In 2010 the

venture moved to Carp and this will mark the fifth straight year the tournament will be staged at the expansive fairgrounds in the quaint village in the West Carleton section of Ottawa. The teams have been matched in two, fiveteam divisions. The event opens with four games Friday (July 25), two at 7 p.m. and two more at 9 o’clock. Action resumes at 9 a.m. Saturday and continues all day. Sunday afternoon’s championship final is scheduled for 3 o’clock. The tournament winner will pocket $1,800 while the runner-up takes home $700. The third and fourth place entries will each receive $250. “A day pass for the tournament is $5 per person while a weekend pass costs $10. Children under 12 years of age will be admitted free and there will be lots of activities on site for children. The tournament’s namesake, the late Gil Read, led three men’s teams to the Canadian championships in 1993, 1995 and again in 1999. He also coached Team Ontario to gold medals at the 1997, 2001 and 2005 Canada Summer Games. Anyone interested in the tournament or those wishing to become a sponsor or make a donation can call Chris Read at 613-292-7379 or contact him by e-mail at chris@cadadiandad. com.

WATER RESTRICTIONS The Watering Restrictions By-law 04-14 is designed to regulate and control the usage of water, within the Almonte Ward, in the hot summer months. Between May 1st and September 30th each year there are limitations on who can water and at what time.

Rose (lead) won the men’s division. On the women’s side, Galetta bowlers Sandra Jefferies (vice-skip) and Flo Silvestro (lead) teamed up with skip Joelle Russell from Elmdale Lawn Bowling Club in Ottawa and beat their opponents from

Highland Park Lawn Bowls Club. The winners of the senior triples advance to the Ontario Provincial Senior Triples Championship in Kingston and the provincial champions will advance to the Canadian Senior Triples Championships in Quebec at the end of August.

Municipal Matters July 24, 2014 Odd number houses may water on odd calendar days and even numbered houses may water on even numbered days. Watering may occur between the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. each day and from only one connection. Midday is the hottest time of the day and the water is more likely to be wasted through evaporation when watering at this time. Watering from more than one connection simply uses too much water at once. A significant amount of new grass or sod is exempted from these provisions for one week. Any other violations of the by-law may result in a fine.

2014 FINAL TAX NOTICE Installments due - July 30th and September 29th The 2014 final tax bills have been mailed.

Champlain CCAC council to give caregivers a voice News - “I just did what needed to be done and never thought of asking for help.” - Campbell, caregiver Dee Campbell, 77, is typical of many caregivers. When her husband Bill, 86, was diagnosed with dementia five years ago, she assumed his care needs with barely a second thought. “I just did what needed to be done and never thought of asking for help,” she says matter-of-factly. Married 43 years, the spirited senior rose to the challenge of caring for her husband at home. As Bill’s condition slowly progressed it became harder for Dee to manage his complex health needs at home. In addition to dementia, Bill suffered two heart attacks and lived with a host of other health conditions. About 98 per cent of home care clients have an identified caregiver. Research shows that nine out of 10 caregivers find caregiving rewarding. But stress increases for spouses - especially those caring for someone with cognitive problems such as dementia or Alzheimer’s. “I had to be talked into using respite care because I’m the kind

The newly-formed Champlain CCAC Client and Caregiver Council includes, in front from left, Scott Johnston, Patrice Connolly (staff ) , Sharon Haig, Kelsey Lett, Dee Campbell, Kathy Warren and Gilles Lanteigne (CEO); and in back Jennifer Schenkel (staff ), Jennifer Proulx (staff ), Doug Thompson, Kim Thompson and Russ Morton. of person who was going to do it all myself,” says Dee. Maybe it’s because of their caring nature, but most caregivers find it difficult to ask for help. Dee hopes to use her personal journey as a caregiver to help others. Her beloved husband Bill passed

away peacefully in June; however Dee finds comfort in sharing her experiences to support others in the day-to-day challenges and rewards of being a caregiver. Dee is a member of the newly established Champlain CCAC Client and Caregiver Council, which

aims to embed the caregiver voice throughout the organization - and ultimately improve the care experience for clients and their families. The council comprises members from across the Champlain region including Renfrew, Barry’s Bay, Ottawa and Martintown.

“Our new client and caregiver council is an exciting opportunity to better understand the needs of caregivers and clients and ensure their voice is reflected in our planning and programs,” says Gilles Lanteigne, chief executive officer for the Champlain CCAC.

‘Prior player helps RedBlacks win first Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Sports - Lansdowne Park, the Ottawa Sports and Recreation Group and the RedBlacks have survived their first hurdle after a successful performance at TD Place Stadium on July 18. The Ottawa RedBlacks first home game was a trial by fire, not just for the team, but for Lansdowne’s facilities and OSEG’s planning. RedBlacks defensive lineman and Arnprior native Justin Phillips described the game as, “an emotional victory,” but the start of winning habits for the team. “No win is easy in the CFL,” he said. “It always comes down to a few plays, who plays better in the fourth quarter and luckily that was us tonight.” Though he admitted that a touchdown for the RedBlacks would have made the win all the sweeter, it was a win, and it was for the fans, the coaches and everyone involved with the stadium. Overall, the franchise appeared to overcome naysayers, though not without difficulty. The RedBlacks started out slowly, allowing Toronto to score the first field goal and keep the home team from several touchdown opportunities throughout the game. The Argos managed to score the

first touchdown at TD Place, catapulting them past a five-point deficit by the start of the fourth quarter. But a series of first downs and key field goals resulted in the RedBlacks regaining the lead, then losing it with a minute and 33 seconds left, and taking it again to finish the game with a 18-17 victory. But fans got much more than a win out of the experience, they said. “It was wonderful,” said Bob Whitcomb from Arlington Woods. “The facilities are great. It was everything I thought it was going to be and more.” Like the game itself, Lansdowne’s first major test was not without its stumbling blocks. Some fans showed up to the Lansdowne confused where to enter the stadium, unsure where the bike drop-off was and finding themselves corralled into The Trews tailgate party through a complicated set of exits and entrances, with not a map in site. But many fans said OSEG succeeded in overcoming Lansdowne Park’s downtown location, which RedBlacks president Jeff Hunt acknowledged as a major issue when it comes to transportation. After all, before anyone can enjoy the game, they have to get to the stadium. According to some fans, the commute was not a killer. Devin Simzer and Wyatt Sheppard

from Chesterville, Ont. arrived by bus, saying it was crazy with so many fans, but a good kind of crazy. Once arriving there, some fans seemed confused where the park ended and TD Place Stadium began, due to the arena’s open concept. Non-paying fans were crowded along a makeshift gate erected below the bridge on the north-east corner of the stadium, with others peering through fences elsewhere so they could see the action. The Trews tailgate party had plenty of fans excited, many in RedBlacks garb jumping and shouting to rock tunes before the game. The energy in TD Place Stadium did not start off as wildly boisterous. Old rivalries were stirred, with fans seated in the south end of the arena shouting “North side sucks,” for much of the first half of the game, at times seeming more interested in shaking their placards than cheering on their team. However, the RedBlacks grabbed fans’ attention by the end of the second quarter as Ottawa took the lead, making the score 9-7. The second half of the game picked up on that momentum, with Ottawa forging ahead through an interception and several first-down passes. The fourth quarter had fans on their feet as the score clock counted down to what looked like a RedBlacks win.

RedBlacks running back and Kanata native John Delahunt pushes through a crowd of Toronto Argos players during the Ottawa RedBlacks first game at TD Place Stadium at Lansdowne Park on July 18. The RedBlacks won 18-17. Though the Argos fought back with a field goal, the RedBlacks finished the game to the applause of some 24,000 fans. “It was an awesome game,” said Jimmy Fata. “Long overdue, and I’m glad they won. It was a tight game, but an awesome, awesome game.” Fans are happy the team is here, but the win means a lot, he said.

Community – Herbfest will be sprouting all sorts of fun this weekend. The 19th annual Ottawa Valley Midsummer Herbfest, hosted by the Herb Garden, will take place Sunday, July 27 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., rain or shine. The goal of the festival is to introduce people to their neighbours who produce local, healthy, natural and organic products and to promote healthy lifestyle choices in a fun and ‘magical’ atmosphere. “It’s a community event and runs because we have 75 volunteers and 85 to 100 local vendors. It was set up to help promote small, local businesses,� explained Gerry Bedard, co-owner of the Herb Garden. Bedard says the event is about more than just herbs. “That’s just the theme; we have live music, children’s activities, dance performers, guided tours and more,� he

said. “It’s a great introduction to being outdoors and people are able to explore the grounds.� There are lots of family friendly activities planned for the day as Bedard said family and children are very important to the festival. There will be Nordic pole walking, guided labyrinth walks, Henna tattoos, an appearance by the Korny Klowns, face painting and more. Bedard encourages people to come for the entertainment as well. “Come early and wake up to the Marimba Band,� he said. The Tine Rufaro Marimba Band will play from 9 to 9:45 a.m., the Blue Page Trio will take the food court stage from 11 a.m. to noon, the Harpists on the Porch: Heather Flinn and Joanne Griffin will perform from noon to 1 p.m., followed by Lucas Haneman on guitar at 1 to 2 p.m. and to finish off the entertainment is rising singer Brea Lawrenson at 2 p.m. There are a number of

demonstrations that will be taking place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. They include Vanessa Simmons: A Cheese Sommelier Talks Cheese; Kathleen Leeson: Shamanic Healer and Clinical Herbalist on The Danger of GMOs; Telsing Andrews, Canadian Organic Grower on Edible Front Yard Gardens; herbalist Carol McGrath: Anyone Can Be A Herbalist; Mike Nickerson, author on Living On Earth As If We Want To Stay; and Helene Anne Fortin on the Healing Art of Photography. The Chef Cook-Off will be held from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in demonstration tent number one. The Chef Cook-Off is considered one of the cornerstone events of Herbfest and will see three local chefs compete for top honours putting their culinary talents to the challenge.

A very young Orangemen waves to spectators from atop the float of the Renfrew County Loyal Orange Lodge. The float was one of many in the annual Orange Lodge parade held in Carleton Place Saturday, July 12. The parade celebrates the victory of the Protestant King William of Orange over the Catholic King James II during the Battle of the Boyne in County Meath, Ireland, on July 12, 1690. The parade drew Orange Lodges from as far away as Morrisburg and Pontiac County, Quebec. DESMOND DEVOY/METROLAND

Emerson’s invention gets him in hot water Memories

the snow in the bush. Fortunately Father wouldn’t let him near the team, but Emerson was so sure the idea was one of the best he had ever dreamed up that he took his design and tucked it under his bed with his collection of maps and pictures of buildings the likes of which we had never seen before, and thought we never would. And then one hot summer day he got another spurt of imagination. It happened when we were both swinging on the gate behind the cow byre. The cows were waiting to be put inside to be milked, and the horse flies were as thick as thieves.

I felt so sorry for the cows. Their tails weren’t nearly long enough to swat the flies off their front parts, and so I would often stand with a leafy branch and swish it over their backs chasing away these dreadful flies, which I hated with a passion. I was lamenting to Emerson that the horse flies even followed the cows into the barn. And I commented that once I started to milk I had to forgo chasing away the flies. Emerson hung most of his body over the link fence. Not a muscle in his entire form was moving. He always went like that when he was thinking ... sort of like being in a trance it was, I thought. That night, while the rest of us sat looking at Eaton’s Catalogue at the kitchen table, Emerson was in a corner with his pad of graph paper. No one paid any attention to him ... this was the way he spent many an hour. But the next day he took me into his confidence. I should have known better. The only time he ever confided in me about something as private as an invention was when he needed help. He had been working in the drive shed for most of the morning. And when he came out, he searched the barnyard to make sure no one was in sight. He had two long poles ... cleaned off branches really, off the lowest part of the big maple in our front yard, and an armful of binder twine. He beckoned me to come with him behind the cow byre. “If this works, I’ll make a fortune,” he said. “See if you can sidle up to that cow over there.” Now, I know why I was taken into his confidence. Most of the cows were pets to me, and I had no trouble getting old Bossy to stand still.

Emerson approached her rear end slowly with the two poles and the binder twine. Bossy was swishing her tail like mad. Emerson had to make two or three grabs before he got a hold of it. I was feeding hay into her mouth on Emerson’s orders. He placed the two hefty limbs along each side of the tail and very quickly wrapped the binder twine around them because Bossy was beginning to wonder what was going on at her other end.

weapon Bossy had attached to her tail. The horse flies loved the dank heat of the barn and the place was buzzing. Emerson was standing at the barn door, which now I realized was very fortunate for him. Bossy’s tail was moving ever so slightly, and then one of the flies must have really done some damage, because that apparition Emerson had attached to her came around her rear end with a ‘why won’t ya’ and connected with the side of Father’s head with such a whack that it

Emerson was so sure the idea was one of the best he had ever dreamed up that he took his design and tucked it under his bed with his collection of maps and pictures of buildings the likes of which we had never seen before, and thought we never would. When he had it secured, by wrapping some binder twine around her back legs, he dusted off his hands and said: “Now when she swishes her tail, it will reach farther and if my design is correct, she will kill the horse flies on contact.” He added he would only try it out on one cow to see how it worked. Now, under ordinary circumstances nothing would have come of this exercise, and it would have gone the way of all Emerson’s inventions. But that evening Father was late coming in from the fields. We brought the cows inside in a hurry, and he went right at the milking. It was almost dark in the barn, as he positioned the stool at Bossy’s full udder. But you didn’t need much light to milk. Father was a scant foot from this

knocked him off the stool and sent the milk flying. Father just sat there for several seconds trying to figure out what hit him. Then he got up and slowly made his way towards Bossy’s tail. He stood for the longest time looking at the two branches and the binder twine that he hadn’t noticed before. He let one roar out of him, ordering Emerson to get in there at once. I turned to the door where Emerson had been standing. All I saw was our barn cat licking her paws and lapping at the spilt milk. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Lifestyle - Mother always said my brother Emerson was going to grow up to be a prominent scientist ... or at the very least an inventor of note. He spent hours drawing on art paper that Mother somehow managed to buy at Ritza’s Drug Store at the one-cent sale ... you got five pads for a quarter, and then five more for a nickel. So Emerson always had a goodly number of pads on which to draw mysterious glass buildings, unrecognizable structures and maps of countries which existed only in his imagination. And he was forever dreaming up some idea that would make life easier on the farm. These ideas would be first put to paper, and if he could manage it, put into use ... but rarely did any of them amount to a hill of beans. Take the time he thought if he put plank like devices on the horses feet in the winter time it would prevent the horses from plunging belly-deep in

We are happy to announce that our agency, Arnprior-BraesideMcNab Seniors At Home Program (ABMSH), is offering a Hearing Screening Clinic with display on Tuesday, Sept. 16.

Old Age Security benefit amounts increase News – The monthly Old-Age Security (OAS) payment is going up just over $7 this summer. Employment and Social Development Canada announced the quarterly benefit amounts for (OAS) from July to September will increase from $551.54 to $558.71 per month. The increase follows a six-month period where the rate was frozen.

The basic OAS pension benefit is paid to Canadians 65 years of age and older. Payments under the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS), the Allowance and the Allowance for the Survivor will also rise modestly in line with the increase in the cost-ofliving. OAS benefit amounts are reviewed quarterly.

Major Legion fundraiser planned for AC campaign Janet Tobio Arnprior Legion

Community - Already it is heading towards the end of July. How time flies when you’re busy. Starting off the first day of July with the Canada Day celebrations and ceremony, presentations and entertainment made a great day. Even with storm warnings looming, the rain held off until the majority of the planned events were over. As in the past, the Arnprior Legion donated the Canada Day cake, actually eight cakes were served by volunteers to the large crowds gathered in the Robert Simpson Park. The kitchen staff were hard at it as usual over in another part of the park with a very busy food stand. Numerous hamburgers and hot dogs were served during the day. Many thanks to everyone who gave up their Canada Day

to volunteer for the Legion at both locations. The Air Conditioner fundraising blitz is coming along nicely, thanks to many for their generous donations. Two great entertainment and dinners have taken place and have been very successful. The next one will be in August. Dinner is chicken and ribs. Don’t miss it. It will be a great meal as always. Advance tickets go on sale the Wednesday before. The meal is served after the entertainment at 6 p.m. in the hall. It’s roomy and bright and families are welcome in the hall for the dinner. The big fundraiser and hopefully the one that rings the bell will be held Friday, Sept. 12. It will be held in the hall, no dinner but a light lunch will be available at intermission. The entertainment everyone’s been waiting to see is ‘The Gender Illusions’. Music

and fun starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are now available but limited. Tables of eight will be available; all tickets will be sold in advance. Don’t leave your purchase too late. Contact any of the executive to reserve or purchase, and tickets will be available from the bar. Well, that’s August and the start of September, but, of course, September is Legion Week and we honour all the veterans for a full week starting Sept. 22. Watch for more on that week of celebration. Be sure to check the community page for all the happenings at Branch #174 Arnprior. Drop in and say hello. Not a member yet - applications are always available and welcome. Until next time, make your plans to attend bingo, euchre, hamburger Fridays, jam session, monthly breakfast and great special events and entertainment.

Charity Bluegrass concert a stomping good time Community – More than 200 bluegrass fans attended a concert in Arnprior July 14 to raise money to help needy families in Renfrew County. Community Support Agencies across Renfrew County, from Arnprior to Deep River, worked together with the Champlain Community Transportation Collaborative and the Child Poverty Action Network (CPANPP) on their first ever co-operative fundraising event. The Charity Bluegrass Concert with Bluegrass favourites Junior Sisk and Rambler’s Choice was designed to assist “all ages and stages” of the community. The St. John’s Chrysostom Parish Hall was filled to the belfry with a crowd who came together to share a love of Bluegrass and to show their support for people all across Renfrew County. It was a wonderful evening with Junior Sisk and Ramblers Choice, report organizers. From the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia comes one of bluegrass music’s most honest voices in the genre’s history, Junior Sisk. Over the

Gleefully meeting at the backstage door of the CPAN and RC-CCTC Bluegrass charity concert in Arnprior, from left, are Rachelle Clayton, Joanne King, Bluegrass performer Junior Sisk, Alice Grenon and Carmen Goold. years, his haunting, almost lonesome vocals have earned him the devotion of countless traditional bluegrass fans from all over the world and several awards. For more, visit www. juniorsisk.us. Sisk and his band came up to the Ottawa Valley for the annual Valley

Bluegrass Festival in Horton, and when asked, he agreed to stay over an extra night in order to help the residents of rural Renfrew County. “His hometown is also a rural community and he understands the importance of people helping people,” said organizer Joanne King of

Barry’s Bay Home Support. The cost of medical travel can cause great hardship to those living on a fixed income. This is especially true because of the long distances in farflung Renfrew County. It can be particularly difficult for dialysis patients, as that procedure usually has to happen three times each week. The Renfrew County Transportation Collaborative, working under the sponsorship of Carefor Health and Community Services, works to provide as much subsidy as possible for those who need it. “It was exciting to see the support for people in need in our community,” said Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home executive director Dennis Harrington. “I also had quite a bit of fun sharing my musical talents for a cause I am passionate about.” The Child Poverty Action Network raises funds each year to help purchase “back-to-school” supplies, backpacks and shoes. For families living on a limited budget, these costs can be very stressful.

CPAN feels strongly that children need to be socially included and to feel that they have the same access to resources as their peers, if they are to do well in school. And when children are included and helped to succeed in school, research shows they do much better as adults, CPAN notes. “It was heartwarming to work with so many other caring people to raise money to help people in Renfrew County,” said Lyn Smith of CPAN. The event also raised funds at a Tailgate barbecue, featuring local Ottawa Valley musicians, celebrity chefs and the commitment of numerous dedicated volunteers including Valley Heritage Radio host, Rick Leben, who served as stage manager and emcee for the evening. As well, Jamie Cybulski from myFM lent his services and flipped a few burgers. Carefor Health and Community Services’ Alice Grenon, who manages the transportation collaborative, said: “We raised a lot of awareness about community needs and how to help. We had tons of fun listening to great music – what a lot of talent!”

The Mick Armitage Band will hit the stage at the Carp Fair on Saturday, Sept. 27.

News - There won’t be any dust on the bottles at the Carp Fair as David Lee Murphy takes to the stage Friday, Sept. 26. The Carp Fair has announced its 2014 line-up, with the Sunday’s ‘mystery guest’ to be announced on Aug. 16. “We really wanted the lineup to get people out there, it’s really high energy,â€? said Stephanie Verk, fair committee member. When asked about the Sunday headliner, she said she had to be careful about what she revealed. “It’s deďŹ nitely an artist that has been around for a while and once again, just really encompasses fair tradition,â€? she said, adding the artist “will get you belting out the songs.â€? She said she remembers listening to the artist with her father on boating and camping trips, and would qualify the act as international and wellknown.

“They’re an international artist, as far as I’m concerned.â€? The theme of this year’s fair is ‘Be a part of our fair tradition’, kind of like a high school reunion, said Verk. “It’s just that one time of year you get together. You see those people you haven’t seen all year,â€? she said. Canadian Country Music Award nominee Autumn Hill hits the stage Friday with Murphy for a mix of new and classic country performances which are sure to be crowd pleasers, said Verk. American multi-platinum selling artist Joe DifďŹ e - credited with chart toppers ‘Pickup Man’ and ‘John Deere Green’ - will perform with Ottawabased band Sidewinder, as well as Delaney Grant, a 17year-old singer and songwriter from Pakenham. “It will be of a calibre of artists that have rarely been seen together at the same event,â€? said fair entertainment director Neil Falls. Doors for the evening enter-

tainment open at 8 p.m., with advance tickets on sale for $37, or $40 at the door. AFTERNOON PERFORMANCES

Free afternoon shows take place Saturday and Sunday afternoons. First up are Ottawa rootsrockers Silver Creek with The Mick Armitage Band for a mix of Top 40 rock ‘n’ roll, and country rhythm and blues on Sept. 27. On Sunday, guests can take in fair-favourites Ambush before the mysterious evening performance. Local artist Gail Gavin and step dancers will open the 151st Carp Fair at the kick-off Thursday night at 8 p.m., free with the $2 gate admission. “For this year, our entertainment lineup, we wanted a bit of everything,â€? said Verk. “Get some rock in there that people could get dancing to.â€? The Carp Fair runs Sept. 25 to 28. Tickets can be purchased in advance online or by calling the Carp Fair ofďŹ ce at 613-839-2172. For more information, visit carpfair.ca.

Community - Many Sisters and friends came from a distance for a 50th anniversary celebration with Sister María and Sister Gloria, who presently live in Chincha, and continue to serve the Peruvian people thanks to supporters from the Upper Ottawa Valley, including a number from Arnprior. Nine Sisters of St. Joseph came from Canada, including Pauline Coulterman, Joan Atkinson, Jean Perry, Nicole AubÊ, Betty Berrigan, Lucy Germain, Mabel St. Louis and Celine Janisse, as well as some friends who visited for the occasion; Heather Coulterman, Lin Ouellette and Betty Frost. There were also two missionary sisters from Brazil and nine Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet from Lima. In 1964 when the first five Sisters went to Chincha Alta Peru, they were asked by the people to set up a parish school for boys. It was only fitting the celebrations began and ended with the students and staff of St. Joseph’s School honouring the Sisters of St. Joseph of Canada. On March 18 the staff of the school invited the sisters and their visitors to be with them for the initial ceremony of the morning. When they arrived the school children were lined up and ready to begin the ceremony. The Grade 6 students gave a brief reading of the life of St. Joseph followed by an account of the mission of the Sisters of St. Joseph in Chincha Alta. It was amazing to see how attentive the student body was

In 1965 the school opened its doors to 52 students; today there are 710 students in kindergarten to Grade 6. March 19 was the Feast of St. Joseph and the celebrating continued. The priests from the seven parishes in the Valley came to concelebrate with Bishop HĂŠctor Eduardo Vera Colona the Eucharistic Celebration . Following the Eucharistic celebration, all of the invited guests made their way to the reception hall, which had been transformed into a ballroom streamed with gold and white cloth. The tables were covered with gold linen and the centre pieces were bright delicate bouquets of cut flowers. It was very evident during these two days of festivities that the Peruvian people were grateful for the many years of dedication of the Sisters of St. Joseph, said Sister Coulterman.

work groups from Canada go to Chincha and spend time working with Sister MarĂ­a and Sister Gloria in their ministry. Most of the ministries that the two Peruvian Sisters do among the poor are financially sponsored by Canadian friends from Pembroke, Renfrew, Arnprior, Barry’s Bay and Mattawa areas, to name a few, because the benefactors come from all corners of Canada. In March, 310 Peruvian children received a scholarship for their education and in the last three years water has been put into more than 80 homes thanks to Canadian generosity. On a daily basis, Sisters MarĂ­a and Gloria are attending to the sick, the hungry and the needy. The social ministry they carry out among their people would not be possible if they had to depend on the donations of their parish. “A big thank-you goes out to many of you for helping us reach this milestone in our history,â€? says Sister Coulterman.

A guide to training a guide dog Community – I always had a wish list, known in this day and age as a ‘Bucket List’, and high in priority was to work and train a service dog. Time goes by pretty quickly when you’re busy with family and work and volunteering, and pretty soon the bucket list gets pushed aside. As years go by and life changes, priorities change, your time becomes your own and it’s there to share and use for something new and interesting. Out comes the bucket list, a newspaper add and my life changed. Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind produced an article expressing their need for ‘puppy walkers’, inviting applications. I was invited to attend an introduction and information meeting. A couple months later, after a house visit and interview, just like for foster children, I received a call to accept a young puppy into my care until it is 18 months old. So one very early cold November morning, I received a chubby little 10-week-old Yellow Labrador Retriever. No, she wasn’t house-broken and winter was just starting. I’m shaking my head - am I crazy training a puppy in the winter - smart

people get a puppy in the spring or summer don’t they. We got through it, and the chewing stage and the chase-the-cat games. Luckily she liked her crate and slept well right from the first night. It was amazing how quickly we blended our routines and made life easy for both of us. Mostly for me when she started sleeping in past 6:30 in the morning, since retiring at that time was the middle of the night for me. Occasionally, I had to wake her, fearing her little bladder might burst if she didn’t go “busy busy.” I had always had dogs, but not for the past several years since moving to town. We travelled a lot and felt it unfair to be leaving a dog all the time. Little did I suspect this one would be attached to my hip except for sleeping hours, and goes everywhere with me. Puppy walkers they call us. Hmmmm, I think its more than walking. We walk, we play, we visit, we go for lunch, we go shopping. All of this is to socialize the puppy and teach them good manners. The CGD centre provides a weekly training session with other puppies the same age. These sessions are invaluable. There are specific guide-

lines for these puppies and, although the basic obedience training is taught, other behaviour rules are particular to a Guide Dog. When was the last time you took your dog on a bus, or an elevator, shopping for groceries or to a restaurant? Does he stop and sit at the curb before crossing a road?

It was amazing how quickly we blended our routines and made life easy for both of us.

Does he pay attention only to you? Does he obey hand or voice commands, does he lead you when walking? Is he calm and unexcited at loud or unfamiliar noises? And when he’s not working he is a dog, good ol’ funloving playful, loveable dog. I hope the 60-lb. puppy I have will do all of this when she leaves for formal training to become a guide to someone who needs the services of a good friend and companion Guide Dog.

Giving back where they build

Cancer survivor returns to Ride the Rideau

By Tracey Tong When Mattamy Homes first got involved with Ride the Rideau in 2012, they were a cozy team of five. But like many event participants, the event grew on them. Inspired by the cause and captivated by the well-organized event, the team decided to up their involvement. Two years later, the team has grown to more than 20 riders, and Mattamy Homes has taken the reins as title sponsor of The Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s signature fundraiser. Ride the Rideau is a natural fit for Mattamy Homes, Canada’s largest new home builder, said Peter Gilgan, Founder and CEO of Mattamy Homes. Based in Toronto, Gilgan, who is an avid cyclist, recently signed up to do the 100-mile ride in Ottawa alongside his staff. “This is definitely something that we’re proud to be a part of,” said Mark Parsons, President of the Ottawa Division of Mattamy Homes. Parsons and team captain Mattamy Senior Project Manager, Land Development

Mike Green, both avid cyclists, are leading group rides so all team members will be comfortable with their conditioning on the day of the Ride. The team has brought Mattamy’s small Ottawa office closer together, Green said. “Ottawa has always supported Mattamy,” said Gilgan, “and we want to give back where we build.” According to the Canadian Cancer Society, cancer is the leading cause of death in Canada and is responsible for 30 cent of all deaths. An estimated 191,300 new cases of cancer and 76,600 deaths from cancer will occur in Canada in 2014. The proceeds from Ride the Rideau support the groundbreaking cancer research that will save or improve the quality of life for many.

By Tracey Tong In its fifth year, Ride the Rideau will be held Saturday, September 6. It features a brand-new 100 mile distance this year, in addition to its popular 50 km and flagship 100 km rides. All distances feature new routes, departing from and returning to Ottawa’s EY Centre, making it easier for family, friends and fans to cheer riders on at the start and finish. The Ride grows each year, continues to be the top cancer fundraiser in Eastern Ontario. In just four years, has raised over $6.45 million in support of cancer research, including the development of personalized therapies for cancer patients and clinical trials at The Ottawa Hospital.

Two things first inspired Dawn Morewood to start cycling in Ride the Rideau when the signature fundraiser of The Ottawa Hospital Foundation launched five years ago.

husband welcomed their first grandchild.

The first was her father, Jack, who was diagnosed with bladder cancer, and subsequently successfully treated with the oncolytic therapies the Ride would help support.

Since then, Dawn’s had another mammogram and ultrasound, and both came back clear. After a year off from Ride the Rideau, she and Arthur are plotting their return to the 100 km event at the fifth annual ride on Saturday, September 6 – on a tandem bicycle, of course.

The second was her love of bicycling. A cycling fanatic of more than 30 years, she and her husband, Arthur, met 28 years ago through the Ottawa Bicycle Club, and participate in Ride the Rideau every year on a tandem bicycle.

They started small.

With three rides already under her belt, irony struck when Dawn herself was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2013. The investment advisor with RBC Dominion Securities was 50 years old at the time. “I’d had the instinct that something was wrong,” said Dawn.

“It was the closing of a chapter and the start of a new one,” Dawn, now 51, summed up perfectly.

A mammogram and an ultrasound confirmed the presence of a solid mass, and she underwent a biopsy and a battery of tests at The Ottawa Hospital. Although it was breast cancer, Dawn did get the good news that it was caught early. “The diagnosis came way out of left field,” Dawn remembered. Within two weeks, Dawn had undergone a lumpectomy. The results were excellent – the cancer had not yet spread, and the margins were clear. She underwent six rounds of chemotherapy over 18 weeks, as well as radiation, which ended February 13 of this year.

One of the best parts? Her dad – “a picture of health at 88 years old” – will be there to cheer them on, she said. To learn more about Ride the Rideau or to register as a rider or volunteer, visit www.ridetherideau.ca.

Man’s best friend is not driver’s best friend

SHERRY HAAIMA/METROLAND

Rally Fur Paws riders support vets Steve MacKenzie of White Lake is among the Rally Fur Paws riders participating in the 200-kilometre motorcycle rally July 5 to raise funds and public awareness of the need for service dogs for veterans. The event, which included a route through Stittsville, West Carleton and area, and featured riders from all through the Upper Ottawa Valley, was a great success, raising more than $10,300.

Lifestyle – While there are laws in place preventing drivers from texting or using cell phones, many motorists are riding around with another dangerous risk - their dogs. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, an unrestrained pet whether curled up on your lap, hanging out the window, seeking your attention, licking your face, chewing up the upholstery, vomiting due to car sickness, barking, sitting between your feet on the floor, etc. can be hugely distracting. Tens of thousands of car accidents are believed caused every year by unrestrained pets. In a crash, an unrestrained pet can turn into a deadly projectile or get crushed by a driver or passenger who is thrown forward by the collision. For example, a pet weighting 50 pounds, in a 35-mph collision, is projected forward like a cannonball with 1,500 pounds of force,

and that can cause critical injuries to those in the front seat. What’s worse your pet can be ejected from the vehicle or projected through the windshield. The other issue is when dogs are placed in the back of pickup trucks. Your pet can be ejected from the vehicle, a distraction could cause your pet to jump from the moving vehicle, road debris can hit your pet causing injury or death, and lastly on hot summer days the met-

al or plastic liners in the back of the pickup truck could cause first, second or even third degree burns to the pads of their feet. Good pet owners will doggy seatbelt or carrier and secure their pets in the middle of the back seat. That keeps dogs from getting hurt or bouncing around and hurting others and/or causing accidents. Although I could not find any laws in regards to pets being transported unrestrained in vehicles or in the back of trucks in Canada, the United States has a law in place in eight states prohibiting pets from being transported in the back of trucks. Although there may only be one or two states that ban pet owners from having their pets unrestrained in vehicles.

Joey was found sitting on the side of highway 17, he had a small plastic bag stuck over his head. He was slowly suffocating to death, when he reached the shelter he was in rough shape, he was starving, cold and in shock. After many months of TLC, Joey has grown into this handsome boy. He was very traumatized from his experience and will require a quiet, patient home to help him adjust. He is a quiet cat, he enjoys attention & being petted, he likes to play with his favourite toys. It takes him a little while to trust you, but once he does it`s worth the wait. He is not very adventurous and likes to have a safe place to retreat to, he would be best suited in a home with no small children or dogs. After everything Joey has been through, there is nothing we would love more than to see him ďŹ nd a forever home where he will be spoiled and loved!

Recall to mind the way she spoke, And all the things she said, Her strength, her courage, Her caring soul, Remember these instead.

canny and sophisticated view of the world outsiders don’t always get.” The show begins with the story of Killaloe’s Delmer Hartwig, who won $15 million in a lottery last fall but shocked big-city reporters by delaying picking up his winnings until after a planned elk-hunting trip. From there, the cast romps through scene after scene drawn from modern Valley life. The audience meets seasonally employed local contractors who have other responsibilities in winter such as watching their wives play hockey and doing child care. It sees the bonds of matrimony strained at the local curling club. The show lampoons smart phones, cheap imported junk and other so-called conviences of modern life, and even takes them to Blues Tues in Wilno 100 years from now. It includes a rap number called ‘Don’t Get My Valley Up!’ of which the company has made a YouTube video. The show will be performed in six Ottawa Valley locations, including the company’s main stage in Eganville. A big part of

Arts – G’day, We’re from the Valley, EH!, the new musical from Stone Fence Theatre, brought audience members to their feet at its first preview show this week. The show, consisting of comic sketches and songs about modern Ottawa Valley and rural life, was written by company producer Ish Theilheimer and group members, with a great deal of input from the show’s young director, Chantal Elie-Sernoskie. Elie-Sernoskie, John Haslam and Peter Brown all contributed songs, lyrics or music. The show’s 10 cast members play a variety of characters with a recurring theme, that contrary to stereotype, rural life has a lot to offer younger adults, as well as older ones. “While the show features lots of traditional music, as we always do, our crew has also taken some musical chances, including blues, rock and even a rap number,” says Theilheimer. “What’s great is how well our traditionally-minded audience responded at both ‘Early Bird’ shows to the new kinds of dramatic and musical material. They proved the point of the show - that Valley people have a

News – Catholics from all over the Ottawa Valley and beyond will be flocking to the Shrine of St. Ann in Cormac this weekend for the 76th annual Pilgrimage. The main events at the area’s best-known Pilgrimage will be held Sunday, July 27 in the upper Ottawa Valley village west of Eganville. ‘Healing Through Forgiveness’ is the theme of this year’s Pilgrimage as chosen by its leader, Monsignor David Tramontini. The timely theme will be developed over the three days of the Pilgrimage Triduum starting today (Thursday) and running through Saturday. The Pilgramage culminates with a 2 p.m. mass of healing Sunday. On each evening Thursday through Saturday, Mass will be offered at the Shrine Church in Cormac starting at 7 p.m. On Pilgrimage Sunday, there will be two celebrations of Holy Mass. At 11 a.m., the principle Pilgrimage mass will be celebrated at the outdoor Shrine by Bishop Michael Mulhall, Bishop of Pembroke. Monsignor Tramontini will celebrate the afternoon mass at the outdoor Shrine, with visiting priests. It is the custom at the Shrine of St. Ann that the Sunday afternoon mass be a mass that has a theme of healing. Accordingly, Tramontini’s homily will be entitled ‘Relying on God’s Grace for Healing’. Following Holy Mass, an anointing with St. Ann’s Oil will be offered for any who request this sacramental.
