LIBERALS TO RESPOND WITH LETTER Continued from page 1
broke] MP Gallant's insinuation that the federal government is wilfully flooding properties for political reasons is categorically false," said Emily Harris, a spokesperson at the ministry of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, via email. Following several posts on Gallant's website with titles such as "Why are Trudeau Liberals aiming for annual flooding of the Ottawa River?" and "Is bad politics behind recent flooding?" she sent a letter to the prime minister on July 3. In it, she links Plan 2014 - signed by the Liberal government three years ago to raise water levels in the Great Lakes watershed - to flooding in Renfrew county. Gallant added that
THE ISSUE: RESIDENTS UP AND DOWN THE OTTAWA RIVER WANT TO KNOW WHY RECORD-HIGH FLOODING HAS OCCURRED THE PAST TWO OUT OF THREE SPRINGS LOCAL IMPACT: IF FEDERAL POLICY CHANGES ARE TO BLAME, COMPENSATION WOULD LIKELY FOLLOW changes to the Fisheries Act have encouraged spring flooding to restore fish habitat. "As 'environmental
flows' are implemented for the recreation of wetlands, regular flooding is expected, and intended," she wrote. It then demanded the Ottawa River Regulation Planning Board and the International Joint Commission recalculate the volume of water and the flow rate that can be safely released. Trudeau's office plans to respond with a letter but didn't agree to send the Arnprior ChronicleGuide a copy. To date, no one from the Liberal government has addressed Gallant's assessment of Plan 2014 or Fisheries Act amendments. Harris's lengthy email cited the Parliamentary Budget Officer and the Insurance Bureau of Canada issuing the same message: flooding is worse due to climate
change. "It is worth noting that MP Gallant is the only Member of Parliament to have voted against the Paris Accord despite the clear impacts of a changing climate in her own riding." Gallant wants a response to her letter by July 31.
STORY BEHIND THE STORY
Several causes have been posited for this spring's damaging flood. Is it climate change, or could the federal government be allowing more runoff in a bid to widen wetlands for fish habitat? After several public- and behind-closed-door meetings a definitive conclusion by an independent investigator has yet to emerge.

FEDERAL ELECTION
AT LEAST TWO SEEK NDP NOMINATION New Democrats in RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke are excited at the prospect of a contested nomination for the upcoming federal election. Two candidates have declared - teacher Eileen Jones-Whyte of Eganville and nuclear engineer Kurt Stoll of Petawawa - and a third is actively considering it. The federal NDP here hasn't had a contested nomination in 15 years, according to riding association president Ron Hinch, who says that the nomination date has been set for Sept. 5 for the expected October election. "It's a great sign to have so many people actively considering running," he said, mentioning that initially four people had expressed interest. "I'm very pleased both with the quality of these nomination candidates and with the fact that they represent a
A
new generation of NDP activists." Eileen Jones-Whyte says that she is seeking the nomination because "I believe in social and climate justice. I want to play a role in improving the lot of ordinary Canadians. I want to leave the world a better place." She teaches in Eganville and has taught school for over 25 years in Ontario, Newfoundland and in Munich, Germany. "I became a teacher," she said, "because I saw education as a means to give all people a chance of a better future. As a teacher, I have seen how education can lift people up and help them fulfil their potential. Not everyone comes to school equally advantaged. This is true of our overall society. Many can benefit from supports which overcome their obstacles and help them achieve fulfilling lives. Investments in

people not only help individuals, but create a richer and more caring society." Kurt Stoll says he is running because "at its best, the NDP was the party of workers and public sector building. They pushed for critical infrastructure when other parties insisted on austerity. Hospitals, roads, public housing, schools, pipelines, communication and electrical grids were all built under public ownership while guaranteeing basic labour
rights. "Now, populist, labour-friendly building is again required. Both the recession and climate change will be beat by building public infrastructure and by leveraging the talents of the country's most talented workers and scientists - like those in Chalk River." Eileen Jones-Whyte is active in the community as a past chair of the Training and Learning Centre of Renfrew County and as

She is an avid outdoors person who canoes, hikes, cycles, swims, skis and snowshoes. She shares this love of being active outdoors with her husband, reporter Mark Jones and their two adult children, Naomi, a raft guide on the Ottawa River and Ramsay Jones, who studies at Brock University and serves in the Canadian Armed Forces Reserves. Eileen studied French and German at McMaster University and education at the University of Toronto; she also served in the Canadian Armed Forces Reserves. Kurt Stoll grew up in Saskatchewan on a grain farm. He completed a PhD and MASc of engineering physics at McMaster University in Hamilton and a BEng at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay. He has managed mining, agriculture and nuclear projects since 2004 and has worked at CNL in Chalk River in research and development since 2018.
The provincial government is repealing the Toxics Reduction Act as part of a Bill 66 promise to cut red tape for business. It’s a move that has left many, like occupational hygienist John Oudyk, upset and concerned. In this week’s instalment of the Torstar Community Brands multipart, web-exclusive series A Toxic Decision? experts sound the alarm on the repeal.

OPINION EDITORIAL
PLEASE STOP WHINING ABOUT AMBER ALERTS When an AMBER Alert lit up cellphones around the province July 11 at 3 a.m., many called 911 not to report a sighting of two missing boys and their grandfather in York Region, but to complain about the early wake-up call. This was the fifth such AMBER Alert to have been issued in 2019 since the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission pushed for the distribution of emergency messages across wireless networks in April 2018. All but one instance had a happy outcome. In this case, the boys and their grandfather were found safe an hour and a half later. It's not something police services use lightly. Later that morning, Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) noted 911 is "not an appropriate venue to complain about AMBER Alerts." "The OPP recognizes the inconvenience the alert may have caused, but will not apologize for using all of the tools available to help locate a missing child," the OPP stated in a press release. It's not the first time it's happened and probably won't be the last. When an alert was issued in May, Niagara Regional Police took the step of releasing audio from a 911 caller's complaint to set an example. It doesn't seem to have worked. The flood of angry 911 calls has prompted people to muse whether those calling 911 calls for such inconveniences should be punished. We think they should. The 911 system is for emergencies and using it to complain ties up the line in the event of actual emergencies. And missing a few hours of beauty sleep is not an emergency. It's difficult to understand how the mild annoyance of being woken up in the middle of night is more important than a missing child. The fact of the matter is, it isn't. Is the alarm jarring and annoying? Sure. But it is for a reason. What if it was your child? Wouldn't you want the message to be spread far and wide to aid police in their search? In cases like these, the more time ticks away, the less likely it is a child will be found safe. Some feel an opt-out method could improve the system, similar to what is done in the United States, where different levels of alerts are issued. People have the option of receiving all, or only certain ones. The bottom line is, use your common sense. The 911 system is not for complaints about loss of sleep, to order beer or pizza or whatever else. There is a solution if you want to avoid being awoken in the night - simply turn your phone off.

NATURE'S UNWILLING ADOPTIONS SUMMERTIME MEANS RAISING YOUNG: MICHAEL RUNTZ MICHAEL RUNTZ Column
Summer in the wild brings the responsibility of raising young. For most mammals, including moose and white-tailed deer, it is the females that bear all of the responsibility for feeding and protecting their progeny. However, as is always the case in nature, there are exceptions to a generalization. Eastern coyotes and red foxes maintain pair bonds, with both sexes taking part in satisfying the ever-increasing appetites of their young. On the other hand, in the vast majority of the world's near 10,000 species of birds, both males and females share in the task of producing young. Common loon and pileated woodpecker pairs take turns incubating eggs. After the eggs hatch, both parents provide food and protection for the babies. Ducks, however, employ a very different strategy. After offering impressive displays and perhaps seemingly sincere promis-
es, the males desert their mates soon after mating. Male common mergansers, those green-headed, orange-billed, fish-eating ducks head up to James and Hudson bays. They then form huge, male-only groups that spend all day fishing and telling stories. Back here, female common mergansers, which with their shaggy, brown heads and grey bodies look very different from the scandalous males, perform all of the incubation duties and protection of the young. Remarkably, these large ducks nest in cavities high up in trees where, after hatching, the young fearlessly jump to the ground and follow their mother to the nearest large body of water. On average, common mergansers lay between nine and 12 eggs. However, an examination of the DNA of a female's eggs would often reveal that at least one egg was not her own. Mergansers, like many ducks, are not averse to going to a neighbour's nest and dumping off an egg. This behaviour, known as intraspecific brood parasitism or egg dumping, could well serve as an insurance policy in the event that the enterprising female's nest becomes depredated or destroyed during inclement weather. Once the brood hatches, the female provides protec-
tion for any young that survive the gauntlet of hungry mouths and reach the water's safety. Even then, many will fail to escape the hungry jaws of snapping turtles and northern pike. Sometimes, however, a female's brood actually increases in size. This is because another female has come along and dropped off her brood, permanently abandoning it to be raised by the newly appointed babysitter. The resulting super group of young is known as a crèche. Why a female would give up her parental duties remains a matter of conjecture, but both members of the interaction benefit in terms of a "safety in numbers" principle. If a predator attacks a larger group of young, the odds for the survival of each individual youngster are improved. Currently, female common mergansers and their young broods can be seen on lakes and larger rivers. However, no males will be seen until the fall. For when it comes to raising young, male mergansers simply duck out of all responsibility! The Nature email is michaelwruntz@gmail.com.

REQUEST FOR TENDER CONTRACT NO. PWO-2019-20
DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@ metroland.com Arnprior's 6th annual Dragon Boat Festival saw more than a 1,000 participants and supporters come out to where the rivers meet for fun and fundraising. Town recreation manager Graeme Ivory said 25 teams attended this year, including new ones to replace those at the national championships. All went safe and sound during the July 20 heat wave, he added, thanks in large part to volunteers and business contributions. "We need to thank all the volunteers and sponsors that are integral to the success of the event," Ivory said. "A huge thanks to Nelson Water and the Rotary Club for graciously providing their respective water stations [free] to keep paddlers, event goers and volunteers well hydrated on such a hot and humid day." Hometown favourites Prior ChestNuts held a ceremony and tree dedication for the event, which raises funds for breast cancer research. Recipients for gold, silver and bronze medals are: • Competitive division champions: Paddlin' Hellfish, Pananceaa, and Drag-

ONTARIO NAMES SPECIAL ADVISOR ON FLOODING JONATHAN MULVIHILL jmulvihill@metroland.com In a July 18 announcement, provincial officials said newly named special advisor on flooding Doug McNeil will help with ways to reduce the impacts of flooding and ensure communities can recover quickly. John Yakabuski, Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry and Dr. Merrilee Fullerton, Minister of Long-Term Care, made the announcement at a July 18 news conference at Constance Bay Beach. "We heard from people across the province and saw first-hand the damage caused by flooding in so many communities," Yakabuski said. "We want to help Ontarians protect what matters most, and the
special advisor will help better prepare our province for flooding in the future." Area residents are still recoverin are still recovering from the major flood that began in late April. The special advisor will assess current roles and responsibilities of governments, agencies and organizations involved in flood management, including any opportunities for improvement, reviewing feedback received, identifying focused recommendations, and ensuring all recommendations are consistent with the province's ability to implement them. McNeil's experience includes 36 years in the public service with the City of Winnipeg and Province of Manitoba. He was involved in many aspects of water
resource planning, operations, and management. He played key roles in the 1997 "Flood of the Century" on the Red River and led the Floodway Expansion project, which included a provincial review of floodway operating rules and flood protection studies of mitigation measures for Winnipeg. The province held earlier sessions in Muskoka, Pembroke, and Ottawa to hear from municipalities and industry leaders on how to better prepare for and respond to floods. McNeil will build on input from those sessions as well as feedback from the public. Property owners can apply online for a work permit to repair eroded shorelines and conduct erosion control immediately. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry has also launched a new Surface Water Monitoring Centre webpage with access to flood early warning messages.

The purpose of this amendment is to amend the flood provisions of the Township’s Comprehensive Zoning By-law to more accurately represent the 2019 flood elevations along the Ottawa River. The Zoning By-law currently recognizes the upper limit of the Ottawa River floodplain as being the 76.16 metre G.S.C. contour. The 2019 flood levels reached and elevation of 76.3 metres G.S.C.. A change to the flood elevation and other flood related provisions in the Zoning By-law may impact how waterfront lots can be developed or redeveloped.

FIREFIGHTERS ON CHARCOAL PATROL DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com Firefighters were at an Arnprior park recently to tell visitors that burning charcoal for barbecues is against a town bylaw. No fines were handed out at Robert Simpson Park on Sunday, July 21, but the education process and new sign posted are in response to several incidents: • a child's feet burned stepping on discarded hot coals; • a plastic town bin burned by discarded hot coals; • a pit dug to use for burning coals. "When you explain to people they get it," fire prevention officer Cory Nicholas said. "Many of them have small children and are concerned." One of the six groups burning charcoal he talked to is local, while the rest were from out-of-town and

Charcoal was found at the base of a tree. Notices
detailing the bylaw were handed out, saying no fire pits allowed and barbecues must use propane (no or-
ganic material allowed). It is particularly important during these extra dry, heat-warning days, Nicholas added. Bylaw officers will likely visit the park to issue $75 fines now that an education initiative and publicity are in place, he indicated. "Through this demonstration of good faith, I trust park users in attendance will adhere to the provisions of the bylaw in the future," Nicholas said. "It is nice to see our municipal parkland being enjoyed by residents and visitors alike; however, we must remain diligent and make certain that provisions are in place to ensure public safety and property protected." The new sign posted to the washrooms reads, in part: no smoking or vaping; no open air burning or coal barbecues; only propane barbecues are allowed; no alcohol; no littering; no camping.

He had two things on his bucket list attending Bishop Mule Days in California, and riding a mule in the Grand Canyon, both of which he accomplished. He also leaves behind his much loved and talked about dog Skipper2. Some words that have been used to describe Earl are as follow: deliberate or stubborn, teacher, smartass, horseman, friend, mentor, passionate, wry sense of humor, storyteller, authentic, and memorable.

OPINION
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box.

This week’s puzzle answers in next weeks issue.
We prepared the night before. The breakfast table was set, our clothes were laid out, and all that had to be done the next morning were the chores. It was the day before we would go deep into the bush to pick raspberries, and we would leave early, and get home just in time to do the milking. Eleven quart baskets were packed with sandwiches, jars of pickles, cookies and muffins, and preserve jars were filled with chipped ice, which would eventually melt, giving us cold drinking water. Everything was stacked on the stone boat, including empty milk cans which would hold the picked raspberries. I was the only one allowed to sit on the stone boat, being the youngest and the lightest. The ground to the bush was too uneven for a wagon, and Queen the quietest of the team, would be fed hay during the day from the bag Father had gotten ready. Mother learned from Mrs. Beam that to keep the bugs, bees, flies and mosquitoes away, we should rub our faces and any other part of our bodies exposed, with Vicks VapoRub, and so we went into the bush smelling like we were all suffering from a bad cold. I prayed we would never have to use it, but Father always laid a shotgun on the stone boat just in case a bear decided to join us. It was a long walk for everyone else to get into the deepest part of the bush, where the raspberry bush-
es flourished. And when we came to the inner depths, I could see the berries hanging in clusters. We all had honey pails hanging from belts around our waist, and as each pail was filled we went to the stone boat and gently emptied it into a milk can. Because we separated as we filled our pails, Mother, ever afraid we would get lost in the thick bush, would blow a whistle every so often, and each of us would have to holler "here" back to her. Being as timid as I was, I always made sure I could see her, Father or my sister Audrey out of the corner of my eye. Emerson, of course, wanted to have lunch almost as soon as we got there! I was always amazed at how quickly our little honey pails filled. We didn't have to pick the berries one by one ... we simply put two fingers on a sprig, pulled gently down, and they rolled off as easy as pie. It wasn't long until one of the milk cans was full. It was then, when we would stop for lunch. Being as fussy as she was about cleanliness, of course, Mother was sure that each of us wiped our hands thoroughly on the wet and soapy wash cloths she brought from home. Then we would go into the afternoon and pick until the second milk can was full, and that's when Mother would call it quits. Red as beets, clothes wet from sweat, and our fingers scarlet from the ber-
ries, we were more than ready to head for home. I could curl up on the stone boat, and usually fell asleep wedged between the two milk cans. Of course, that wouldn't be the end of the berries. Over the next day or two, they would be sorted, stems removed, and gently washed, saving a goodly amount to have for dessert and the rest turned into jams and preserves. I was more fascinated with the preserved berries than I was with the jam. Because I couldn't understand how, once the big sealers were full of boiled sugar and water, the berries would always float to the top. Of course, the jar would be well stirred before the preserves were served in little fruit nappies as a dessert, bringing back with vivid memory that day in the bush when the whole family worked together. It was just another way of making sure the shelf in the cellar which held jar after jar of jams, jellies, preserves and pickles would be full for the long winter months ahead.
