Motorcyclist killed in crash Driver not from Ottawa or Arnprior: OPP Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com
News - A motorcyclist is dead following a crash July 23 on Old Highway 17 between Arnprior and Galetta Side Road at about 7:15 p.m. As of July 28, OPP still hadn’t released a cause or the motorcyclist’s name. According to media spokesman
Const. Rheal Levesque, the man was not from Arnprior or Ottawa. Witnesses on scene who said they heard a loud pop came running from their nearby homes on the rural stretch of road. The sun was hanging somewhat low in the sky near the site, which has a wide curve in the road.

that Arnprior will reduce energy use by 68 per cent and save 69 per cent on energy costs. The savings come because the new light emitting diodes (LED) lights are so energy-efficient. A RealTerm Energy news release maintains over the life of the new LED lights there will be
a reduction of 694 metric tones of greenhouse gas emissions. That’s the equivalent of the annual gas emissions from 146 passenger vehicles, says the company. See LED LIGHT Page 4

Motorist taken to hospital with injuries Continued from front
A dark sedan-model car with two front airbags expired lay pressed against trees near the end of a dirt driveway. Also on the eastbound side of the road, the motorcyclist
lay in a ditch covered by tall grass. Rescue crews loaded him on a stretcher to be taken to a waiting ambulance a few feet away. Soon after that an Ornge air ambulance arrived on scene
from the Ottawa direction. It considered landing in a corn field, then decided on a field next to a commercial parking lot on the westbound side of the highway. The ambulance made its way to the helicopter. Once loaded,
the helicopter flew the patient off in the direction of the city. The driver of the car was also taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. It is unknown if they are local or not, but there is no suggestion that they are from social media.

News – After weeks of blasting that have seen chunks of rocks rain down with some regularity on residential properties near the Highway 17 construction site just west of Arnprior, the government has acted. In its July 3 edition, the Chronicle-Guide
Corrections News – The reports of her demise were greatly exaggerated. The story entitled ‘ADHS had many excellent female athletes in the early 1960s’ in the July 24 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide erroneously indicated that Bonnie Stott had passed away. The former ADHS
reported that some Campbell Drive residents were upset with softball-sized rocks landing on their property. One rock even smashed through a homeowner’s storage unit. The company involved, Consbec Inc. of Sudbury, replied that it was business as usual. Now the Ministry of Labour has acknowledged that a single complaint was received, and that it was investigated.
sports star, who writer Jim Silye opined was Arnprior’s best all-round female athlete of her time, is still very much alive and well. Bonnie Corkin (her married name) moved back to Arnprior in 2000 and is an active golfer and member of the community. She remembers her time at Arnprior District High School fondly and
ing a major influence in her athletic excellence. The Chronicle-Guide apologizes profusely for any inconvenience caused by the mistaken report and wishes Bonnie Corkin (nee Stott) many more years of happy living (and golfing).

“We did investigate the complaint and issued orders to solve it,” said ministry spokesman Bruce Skeaff. “The orders have been compiled with.” The company also had to provide “standard documents” to the ministry by July 28.

LED light benefits touted by energy company, town Continued from front
Arnprior selected RealTerm and its partner, Local Authority Services (LAS), to assess its existing street light network and create an energy-efficient and cost-effective street lighting design. The assessment indicated the switch to LEDs is expected to help not only reduce the town’s energy costs by 69 per cent but its maintenance costs by 80 per cent, because LED lights last up to four times longer than the existing sodium streetlights. Other benefits of LED fixtures are the clear
white light they produce as well as their ability to better target beams onto the streets and roadways. Both these characteristics help improve visibility and safety in addition to reducing light pollution. Council agreed with the assessment and authorized the companies to co-ordinate the buying and installation of the new LED lights from CREE Canada, one of the world’s leading LED manufacturers. “We are excited to help the Town of Arnprior take this step in energy and cost savings,” said
New Fall Arrivals Arriving Daily!
SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS
The town’s CAO, Michael Wildman, said the savings and other benefits provided by LED lights made sense to make the project an exception to the town’s pay-as-you-go policy. While the town is borrowing to make the project happen, the savings override any costs accrued from not paying upfront, he noted, arguing that in this case the debt does not run contrary to pay-as-you-go principles. “This is a little different,” he said, explaining that incurring a manageable debt will generate income that will not only pay for the loan payments but will also generate significant additional net revenue. The changeover is expected to save the town close to $60,000 in year one (after loan payments) and will increase each year as energy costs are expected to rise.

RealTerm Energy president Sean Neely. “We understand that lighting is important in such a beautiful town and we’re happy to provide the LED streetlight solution that fits their needs.” RealTerm Energy has organized LED street light upgrades in more than 50 other communities across Ontario. After hearing details about the project from town staff, council members unanimously and enthusiastically approved the project when it came up for a vote earlier this year. “Well done. Congratulations all,” said Coun. Lyle Anderson after council heard a rundown of the benefits. It was noted that in light of the projected cost savings and environmental benefits that it would be counter-productive not to go ahead. The council approved financing the new lights over 10 years at an estimated cost of close to $460,000. The cost of borrowing is to be 2.92 per cent.

The total expected savings to the town over 15 years, after all financing, operation and maintenance costs are factored in, could be close to $1.5 million. The savings can be re-allocated for future pay-as-you-go projects, thereby benefiting and sheltering Arnprior ratepayers, council was told. Wildman pointed out the project is in line with the town’s Strategic Plan vision of improved infrastructure and sustainable progress. The costs are limited because no new pole installations are needed for the conversion. Council originally thought there were 659 streetlights that needed to be converted, but RealTerm’s study identified 812 lights. The increase was attributed to an increase in subdivisions in town and new streetlights associated with the MTO interchange works related to the four-laning of Highway 417. RealTerm’s study also concluded that the LED streetlights will meet or exceed the illumination currently being provided on the town’s roads by existing streetlights. The light fixtures are guaranteed for 10 years, but will likely last at least 20 years, council was told. Council was assured the conversion will not involve replacing the downtown decorative streetlights. The phasing in of the downtown revitalization plan over the next three years is expected to impact downtown streetlight placement and design. The conversion work was originally expected to start in mid-June and run to mid-August. Now the work is scheduled to start Aug. 11 and run until mid-October, although it is possible a second crew could be added to cut the work time by almost a half. The work could include additional lights in some areas if it is determined they are needed. For example, two lights are being added to Staye Court Drive.
well, there may be some noise from weapons firing and explosives. The military base stresses there is no danger to the public and all efforts will be taken to keep disruption to residents at a minimum.

News – It’s a recurring problem and Opportunity Shop officials want it to stop. Volunteers arrived Monday morning to find a huge entertainment centre and other items dumped at the back door of the John Street shop. While donations to the shop, which benefits Arnprior Regional Health and is run by the ARH Auxiliary, are welcome, dropping off of large, dirty and unwanted items during off-hours is making life difficult at the thrift store. “The whole town knows we don’t handle big stuff,� said Teresa Thom, store manager. “This is a regular thing,� she added, pointing to the pile outside of the back door. “Now we have to pay to take it to the dump.� It costs $30 to take a load to the landfill site or $3 per extra bag curbside. The careless drop-offs are taking away funds from the hospital, point out officials. It also leaves an unsightly mess, either on the main street or at the back of the shop, which faces Boyce Funeral Home. Instead of leaving stuff after hours, they are asking people bring in donations when some-

Arnprior Fair finds replacement midway News – The Arnprior Fair is the latest to find a replacement midway at the last moment. Several fairs in Eastern Ontario have been forced to find alternatives, after Mississauga-based Billy G Amusements was unable to staff the midway, blaming changes to Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker program for its woes. CROWN AMUSEMENTS
August 9th noon- 2:30pm
R0062764617
The rock band Harlequin will be the featured entertainment on the Arnprior Fair’s Friday night (Aug. 8). The Winnipeg-based rockers, who have been entertaining audiences since the mid-1970s, are known for such hits as Innocence, I Did it for Love and Thinking of You. Harlequin will take to the stage about 9 p.m. after the Stittsville-based classic rock cover band Spider Killers. For more on the fair, which runs Aug. 7-10, see pages 32 and 33.
An annoucement by the fair board appeared on the Chronicle-Guide’s Facebook page on Sunday: “The Arnprior Fair has secured Crown Amusements to provide our midway. “A huge thank you to Maggie the owner of Crown and Scott Brum and Jeff Desarmia and the fair board for working day and night to put together a midway. “Advance ride all day passes go on sale Monday at noon.
$25 and that includes your admission to the fair and ride all day midway pass. You can purchase at Pebbles Lottery in the Arnprior Mall and B&B buy back and Napa Auto Parts downtown Arnprior.� CHESTERVILLE, ALMONTE
Last week, the Chesterville Fair had to find a new midway operator, following in the footsteps of the Almonte Fair. Billy G Amusements was a no show for the Almonte Fair July 18-20. Fortunately, fair organizers were able to get Gable Bros. Amusements to come at short notice. “This year with our original midway having problems, Robert Gable of Gable Bros. agreed to come on short notice and provided more rides for older children than other years and was on the grounds, dealing with any small prob-
lems that occurred,� reported Almonte Fair Board director Marilyn Snedden. “The fair board is very grateful to him.� Billy G Amusements owner Bill Gordon has been quoted as saying his major issue has been finding people willing to move around during the summer and set up and operate the rides. He explained that he had to reapply to the foreign workers program to get people signed on for the season. But the changes have resulted in delays, leaving him with a lack of workers to run his rides. The changes to the foreign worker program changes include a tougher screening process and strict rules on hiring foreign workers in high unemployment areas. -With files from Ashley Kulp

Workshop helps direct town’s recreation derek.dunn@metroland.com
News – Gone are the days when four or five men get together to decide where the community rink will go, and the ball field, and the swimming pool. Today, to win grant money from the province and elsewhere, municipalities have to show evidence-based plans. A recreation master plan must be formed from consensus and proof of need. That is done in part through consulting with residents. Surveys, consultants’ work, and public workshops like the one that took place on June 26 in Arnprior are some requirements. About 30 residents gathered at Nick Smith Centre roundtables to hear from consultants Dunbar and Associates. Dunbar is taking an inventory of the town’s parks, trails, open spaces and more, along with data collection and meeting with residents. The findings will be presented to town council in November. Af-
DEREK DUNN/METROLAND
These consultants have a more important job than many town residents may appreciate. Peter Dunbar, left, Kathy Wiele, and Eugene Todd are overseeing the creation of a recreation master plan for Arnprior. The plan will guide municipal decision-makers for the next five to 10 years. ter council votes on the proposed plan, it becomes an official document that will guide staff and local legislatures for years to come. Peter Dunbar stressed the importance of filling out the survey (on the town’s website) and participating in workshops (dates of autumn workshops to be announced.)
“Arnprior is the fastest growing town in Eastern Ontario, and you need to be ready when people arrive. You want to make sure the recreation services and quality of life will be here,” Dunbar said. “The survey is important because it will get your opinion into the pile. That survey and these workshops will be pretty impor-
tant for a long time.” The workshop was very much a free-flowing brainstorm session. The consultants tossed out two questions: What word or phrase best describes recreation in Arnprior today? and What do I like about recreation services today? It was an exercise in “appreciative inquiry” meant to build on the town’s current strengths. The last question asked participants to rank their top three priorities for future recreation services. Popular answers included a theatre, upgraded marina and sporting complex (that includes soccer pitch and basketball court). The consultants, including Kathy Wiele and Eugene Todd, suggested recreation is key to a successful municipality for residents who enjoy a high quality of life. It helps children from low income families, seniors on fixed incomes and most of those in between. “The benefits are endless,” Todd said.
Arnprior CAO appointed to provincial task force News – Arnprior’s Chief Administrative Officer Michael Wildman has been appointed to a provincial task force charged with reviewing the Certified Municipal Officer (CMO) designation accreditation process. Wildman will join a team of municipal experts charged with reviewing the CMO accreditation criteria and processes in order to make recommended improvements to the board of directors. The appointment made by the Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of
Ontario (AMCTO) board was announced in a news release last week. The CMO designation is awarded by the AMCTO board to qualified candidates after a rigorous education, examination and comprehensive body of evidence program as authorized through Ontario Private Bill PR 11 (1985). The CMO accreditation is considered the most comprehensive accreditation program in Canada for those involved in municipal government. The CMO designation demonstrates to peers and employers
alike that CMOs are committed to municipal excellence. The CMO accreditation has identified key areas that are essential for municipal excellence and focuses on current competencies based on a combination of education and experience within the municipal context. The key areas identified are municipal knowledge, management, leadership, communication skills and human resources. Applicants must demonstrate their proficiency in these key areas in order to be approved for

accreditation. The news release announcing his appointment explains that Wildman possesses multiple professional accreditations including the CMO designation. “It is a privilege to have been selected to work with so many qualified municipal professionals to help ensure that the process of acquiring the CMO designation meets the highest provincial standards,” said Wildman. The Task Force will make recommendations to the AMCTO board later this year.

Training thoughts on the corridor Holding a community party on the old rail corridor through the centre of Arnprior is a great idea. Not only are community gatherings a great deal of fun, such a get-together of neighbours could inspire ideas about the future of the property on which it will be held. Anything that encourages discussion on what to do with the land now the railway tracks are torn up is a good thing for the community. The highly accessible land smack dab in the centre of town could be a valuable asset to Arnprior if used to best advantage. Mayor David Reid has already suggested it could become Arnprior’s version of central park. So the inaugural CN Trail Park barbecue and dance party being organized for Saturday, Aug. 9 between John and Daniel streets is worth pursuing. The only quarrel with it is the date, landing as it does on Arnprior Fair weekend. It would be better scheduled for its rain date, Aug. 16. Then it would fall between Arnprior’s two major August celebrations, the fair and the White Pine Festival. Nevertheless, holding a summer party there will give the town a hint of the potential of the area. Proposals for its future will be included in the Arnprior recreation master plan currently being compiled with the help of public input
(be sure to have your say). There have been plenty of ideas thrown around already. While some events depend on the facilities at the Nick Smith Centre and others the scenic beauty and beach of Robert Simpson Park, the accessibility of the rail corridor makes it ideal for specialized gatherings aimed at having large numbers of people easily attend. For example, the town could use such a venue to honour volunteers, or the fire department could hold a public demonstration to promote fire safety. Creative minds could dream up innovative charity fundraisers to be held on the site. Perhaps the cenotaph could be moved there, as it is so close to the Arnprior Legion. The possibilities are many. McNab-Braeside has already attempted to attract attention to the potential of the CN rail corridor by a trails day celebration along its route. Now it’s Arnprior’s turn. So in between the eating and dancing at the CN Trail Park party, give some thought to other uses for the land that could become a gem in the centre of town. The celebration could be the first of many major events on the site. At one time the railway tracks played an integral role in the growth of the town. That’s the past. Now they’re gone, it’s up to the town to find a new important role for that corridor to play in the town’s future.

In the case of e-bikes, the law clearly states that no one under the age of 16 is allowed on as an operator nor as a passenger. This afternoon (July 26) I saw a woman pull into a parking lot, across the street, with a nice pink e-bike. On the front was a child, who had to be 5 or 6 years old at best. The child was sitting on the front part of the seat and hanging on to the handle bars; the mother was on the back part of the seat and

I live on a busy street and I’ve seen this woman pass by many times and wondered how it is that the police haven’t stopped her yet. So, today I thought to go online, to the MTO site, print off the 11 pages of regulations that apply to e-bikes, and leave the information on the seat of the bike, thereby making this woman aware that the rules exist and that she was clearly breaking the law by having this small child on the bike. I highlighted the part about passengers needing to be 16 years of age. A short while later they returned to where the bike was parked, and saw the information

I approached the woman and asked her if she realized that it was not only dangerous, but illegal to ride with a child on an e-bike. She told me I was a busybody and should mind my own business. Then she went on to inform me that she’s been ‘doing this’ for the past couple years. What? And then, knowing full well what she was doing was illegal, having just read the MTO printout, she put her child on the bike and drove off anyway.

MP urged to help save VIA To the Editor: An open letter to Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant with copies to Transport Pontiac Renfrew director Terry Gibeau and Cheryl Sparling of the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce. Help. Now is the time for action for VIA. Passenger rail is critical for communities: trains built our past and following Europe’s lead, they can and should build a prosperous, successful future. Despite the fact that the ‘VIA rail act’ protects Canadian’s rights to passenger rail, both Liberal and Conservative governments have tried to dismantle the service by starving it of funds. Please speak up for VIA in the House, with your constituents; make your stand clear with the news media today. Tell us what you have accomplished so we may share it with those groups and supporters fighting for VIA rail, including many members of federal, provincial and municipal governments. We ask that you support the work of MP Philip Toone, Gaspesie-Iles-De-La-Madeleine, and the need for both guaranteed funding and
a clear mandate for VIA rail. Stand with MPP Bill Walker, Bruce-Grey in joining communities together. And finally, please lastly join the increasing list of names of Members of Parliament who have demonstrated the need for enhanced VIA service: Jean-Francois Fortin, Christine Moore, Alexandre Boulerice, Bruce Hyer, Olivia Chow, Françoise Boivin, Tyrone Benskin, Carolyn Bennett, Irene Mathyssen, Rathika Sitsabaiesan, Robert Chisolm, Frank Valeriote, Ted Hsu, Yvon Godin, Mike Sullivan, Elizabeth May, Hoang Mai, Philip Toone, Jean Crowder, Robert Aubin, John McKay, Peter Julian, Isabelle Morin, Megan Leslie, Peter Stoffer, Patricia Davidson, Niki Ashton, Dean Del Mastro, Geoff Regan and Sylvain Chicoine.

What about equalization shortfall To the editor: Re: MP calls for ‘smart meter’ investigation, Chronicle-Guide July 24. I see our federal MP is calling for an investigation into the Province of Ontario Smart Meter operation. Some 6,961 complaints, according to the press release, have been registered for all of Ontario to the Ombudsman of Ontario. Meanwhile, the federal Parliamentary Budget Officer, Jean-Denis Frechette, reports that the federal government has “shortchanged On-
tario under the current system of equalization payments” by $1.2 billion.(CP, June 18). I only hope that our federal member, on behalf of our Province of Ontario’s population of well over 13 million, including our riding of approximately 10,000, will be as diligent in advocating and pursuing a solution to correct this oversight.

Child deserves to be protected Continued from Page 8
I’m horrified to think that she’s been riding around for two years, putting a now 6?-yearold’s life in danger and thinks this is OK. Sorry, lady, what you are doing is wrong on so many levels. As a mother/adult did you not make it your business to know the law before you put that child on the bike? Is it not your responsibility as a mother/ adult to keep him safe and out of harm’s way,
not deliberately put him in danger? I don’t know you, I don’t want to know you and I don’t care what you do with your life, but I think that child deserves a chance to grow up and live his. So you may call me a busybody all you like – I’ll consider the source, but someone needs to speak up and protect your child - from you! Shirley Carron Arnprior

Lifestyle - Most animals have a certain time when they are active. For example, butterflies usually don’t fly until a few hours after sunrise, especially on cool mornings, for they need the sun’s warmth to power their bodies. Gray Tree Frogs begin their nocturnal search for food on tree limbs and house walls only after the sun has slipped out of sight. There is a distinct division in the activity patterns of local animals, and that is often based on whether there is daylight or not. But there is a pulse of activity that takes place in the dim light between sunset and full darkness, and between first light and sunrise. These are the crepuscular times of day. Bats are particularly fond of foraging in late evening, as are Chimney Swifts. Short-eared Owls also begin to hunt then, but they can also be found hunt-

Recently, however, I had the good fortune of meeting one that is. This species is enigmatic for not only is it active only in neardarkness, but also its full life history and range remain largely unknown. That is for good reason: the species was only discovered about 20 years ago. At first, a strange, empty nymph case – an exuvia – was

Two years later, in 1995, a couple of unknown dragonflies were captured in the same area. Finally, a year after that, an adult dragonfly – the same as the unknowns that were caught the previous year – was found emerging from its nymphal prison along the shore. I can only imagine the excitement of Paul-Michael Brunelle when his unknown exuvia and the unknown adult dragonflies were proven to be one and the same. The origin of the Broadtailed Shadowdragon - a new species of dragonfly - had been resolved. Broad-tailed Shadowdragons are now known to occur in Quebec, New Brunswick, and Maine, and in three sites in Ontario. Recently it was discovered in Nova Scotia. What makes this dragonfly so hard to find is that it only flies at dusk for about 45 minutes, hunting high over fast flowing water. During the day, when most other dragonflies are basking in
the sun, Broad-tailed Shadowdragons are hiding somewhere in a forest. I recently met up with this dragonfly along the Petawawa River in Algonquin Park. I arrived at a bridge above some rapids around 8:30 p.m. After an anxious 15 minutes passed, I spotted several small dragonflies flying high above me, silhouetted against the stillbright sky. Ten minutes later one flew low enough for me to catch. With shaking hands I took it out of the net and shone a light on it. It was a Broad-tailed Shadowdragon. Seeing a new animal is always exciting, but knowing how rarely it is encountered and how little is known about it made the experience even more memorable. It also makes one wonder: what other unknown species are out there in the crepuscular times of day? The Nature Number is 613387-2503; email is mruntz@ start.ca.
Naturalists receive training in canoe safety, first aid
R0012811637

News - The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) conduct a variety of canoe/kayak and outdoor/wilderness trips throughout the year, as part of their program focused on nature in the Mississippi Valley. Having some persons trained in canoe safety and first aid as participants in these trips is essential. To ensure there are people with up-to-date knowledge in these areas, MVFN recently sponsored a full week-end of training for 15 members who all became qualified help responders. The first day of training, devoted to Canadian Red Cross Emergency First Aid CPR/AED Level A, was held on July 12 at the Mill of Kintail’s gatehouse. Attend-
ees received eight hours of training in such topics as responding to emergencies of all types, respiratory and cardiac arrest, CPR and how to use an AED (automated external defibrillator), caring for wounds, and managing situations until the arrival of emergency responders. The next day, the members took to the water at the beach in Almonte to learn how to respond to all sorts of water emergency situations. Each team took turns capsizing into the Mississippi River and being rescued by another team. Skills learned included changing positions in a canoe, throwing a heaving line, assisting people in the water, canoe-over-
canoe retrieval and canoe towing. All received a two-hour on land session to discuss situations that included risk management, environmental hazards, hypo- and hyperthermia, emergency kits, and legal requirements for canoes and kayaks. Instructor for both sessions was Karen Hurd from the RA Canoe Camping Club of Ottawa. Hurd has had years of training and leadership in long-term canoe treks and wilderness adventures. MVFN leader for this training was Sheldon Scrivens, who is in charge of the MVFN Canoe/Kayak program. For full details of scheduled canoe/kayak outings, visit MVFN’s website at http://mvfn.ca/events.

Renfrew County seeks ideas for new tagline News - Renfrew County is looking for a new tagline. And it could come from just about anywhere. That is, anywhere inside the county, announced Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon in a news release July 21. Open to all Renfrew County residents, the contest is called an opportunity for the community to put its best foot forward. The contest submissions will be accepted by email and on the County of Renfrew Facebook page. The suggested taglines will be posted on the county website, where the public can review and vote for their favourite one. At the close of the contest, the five taglines
receiving the most votes will be presented by the finalists at October’s session of county council. County council will then vote for their favourite tagline and declare the official winner of the County of Renfrew Warden’s Tagline Contest. “This contest is a great way for all residents of Renfrew County to really engage and be part of the future branding of their county,” said Warden Peter Emon. “We have a huge amount of talent in our communities and this is a fantastic way to showcase that talent in a grassroots manner. I can’t think of a better way to create and adopt a new tagline than to have a resident of our own
county create it. “I would encourage every resident of the county to get involved and showcase their creative talents by submitting a tagline.” The contest is intended to replace the current tagline of Pretty as a Picture with a new and fresh tagline that speaks to the essence of Renfrew County. The current tagline was adopted more than 15 years ago out of a photo contest the county held for their website. In exchange for their submission, the current contest winner will be publicly acknowledged
for his or her creative tagline, and receive a prize package valued at $500. The package will consist of gift cards and certificates from Renfrew County attractions and businesses. Secondary prizes will be announced at a later date. The contest will run Aug. 1 to Sept. 15. Voting will be held from Sept. 16 to Oct. 15.

It makes the cause closer to home By Tracey Tong
Not John De Vries. John, the President and General Manager of the Ottawa Construction Association, has been with Ride the Rideau since he crossed the finish line on a recreational bike at the event’s 2010 inaugural ride. He borrowed a road bike for his second year and – finally converting into someone he would call an avid cyclist – purchased his own in year three. After participating in his third Ride the Rideau, John was diagnosed with cancer in October 2012.

He’d been suffering from chronic acid reflux and his younger brother had been diagnosed with esophageal cancer, prompting John to request a test. He was called back to the doctor’s office within two weeks.
“The doctor told me I had Barrett’s esophagus,” said De Vries. The condition led to the growth of a two-centimetre tumour. The good news was that the cancer was caught early, and that the surgery would effectively get it all. The irony, John said, was that he had spent years raising money for an endoscope, without knowing what it was really for. “The tables turned,” he said, “and the endoscope became my best friend that year.” Fully recovered, John is gearing up for his fifth ride this September 6 with his team, the OCA Riders, which has raised $336,323.45 for cancer research at The Ottawa Hospital in the last four years. He’s gotten a lot of positive feedback since going public with his cancer diagnosis. “Three people came up to me and told me they’d gotten a scope after reading my story,” he said. “They were diagnosed and their doctors got them on the medication right away. That makes me feel really good.”

FUTURE SHOP CORRECTION NOTICE
Customer rips off others’ gas News – It was a dirty trick, but the perpetrator must not have realized it was all caught on camera. On July 17 a customer attended a gas station on Daniel Street in Arnprior and filled a portable gas can. When he went inside to pay for the gas, another customer picked up the filled gas can and drove away, report OPP. When the victim advised the gas station attendant his gas can was missing, security cameras were reviewed and the theft was discovered. A suspect has been identified and a charge of theft under $5,000 is pending. OPP Constable Denys Baranovskiy investigated. In another customer-stealing-from-customer case, a person’s wallet, on the counter at Mac’s Milk Store in Renfrew, was lifted on July 14. Video footage showed another customer steal the wallet. A suspect has been identified and charges are pending. And a woman’s wallet was stolen when it was accidently left on the counter at the Shell
Gas station in Renfrew on July 18. The pink wallet was left by the customer, and video footage shows the next female customer pick up the wallet, put it in her purse and leave the store. Const. Baranovskiy is also investigating the theft of a purple Supercycle bike from a home on John Street in Arnprior. The theft was reported on July 17. On July 20 at 5 a.m., a man was observed walking away from a portable garage on a property on Woodland Drive in McNab-Braeside. The victim ran outside and observed the man get into a two-tone older SUV with a loud muffler and drive away. The homeowner checked the garage and found a portable five-gallon gas can had been stolen. A wallet and iPod were stolen from an unlocked vehicle overnight on Calabogie Road in McNab-Braeside. A wallet and money were also stolen from an unlocked vehicle on Phillips Street in McNab-Braeside, while a wallet was sto-
len from an unlocked vehicle on Woodridge Crescent. The thefts occurred on July 21. Valuables left in unlocked vehicles are easy pickings for thieves, say police. On July 18, OPP Const. Mark Young began investigating a shoplifting report from the Shoppers Drug Mart in Arnprior. Store security cameras captured images of a man shoplifting merchandise on July 17. On Sunday, July 20 at about 7:40 p.m., OPP officers were notified of a possible impaired driver near Arnprior. A suspect name and vehicle description was provided and the officers were able to find the vehicle on Galetta Side Road at about 9 p.m. The male driver was arrested after failing a roadside alcohol screening test.

Yakabuski named party whip, energy critic
CHERYL GALLANT/SUBMITTED
Celebrating the announcement of proposed gun licencing changes, from left, are Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters legislative director Greg Farrant, Renfrew-NipissingPembroke MP Cheryl Gallant, Parry-Sound Muskoka MP Tony Clement; federal Minister for Public Safety Steven Blaney, Nipissing-Timiskaming MP Jay Aspin and Canadian Sports Shooting Association executive director Tony Bernardo.
News – Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski was unsuccessful in his bid to become his party’s interim leader. However, he has been given two key responsibilities within the Progressive Conservative caucus. Yakabuski has been appointed Party Whip and PC energy critic by interim leader Jim Wilson. Wilson, the MP for Simcoe-Grey, was chosen as temporary leader, beating out Yakabuski and Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox-Addington MPP Randy Hillier. The party will choose a permanent leader
to replace Tim Hudak either llate this year or more likely early next year. Prior to the election, Yakabuski was the PC’s House Leader, a position now held by Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark. Yakabuski was been the party’s energy critic for several years. With the rising concern about hydro and gas costs, the portfolio is a key one in the Legislature. Hillier was made the party’s critic on labour and research and innovation and Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren is critic for Senate and Democratic Reform critic.
Gun licencing changes victory for law-abiders: MP News – Renfrew-NipissingPembroke MP Cheryl Gallant is calling proposed changes to gun licencing a “victory for the law-abiding firearms community.” In a news release last week, Gallant said the “reforms” proposed under the Common Sense Firearms Licensing Act are the result of lobbying by firearms owners from her riding and across the country. “This demonstrates once again that our Conservative government listens to people’s concerns,” said. “In this case we have responded with common sense changes to firearms licensing, like eliminating the need for two firearms licences (one for possession and one for possession and acquisition) by combining them into one, as well as requiring all firearms owners to take a safety course.” Gallant pointed out that two of the proposed reforms are
similar to those promoted in a petition started by her nearly two years ago. The petition called for the repeal of section 58 (1) of the Firearms Act, which allowed Chief Firearms Officers (CFOs) to attach ‘reasonable conditions’ to firearms licences, and making Authorizations to Transport part of any firearms licence. The petition received nearly 10,000 signatures from firearms owners nationwide, with supporters from all provinces and territories, she said. “Thank-you to our local hunters and farmers as well as all sportsmen for their suggestions that I was able to present to our Conservative government,” said Gallant. “We knew that we had made a good start when we repealed the most odious aspect of Bill C-68, the Liberal Long-Gun Registry. Canadians recall Bill C-68 as a cover for Liberal/ NDP ‘blame the victim’ crime
policies, she added. “Big city Liberal MPs preferred to attack rural, lawabiding hunters and farmers as a knee-jerk response to the guns and gangs violence in places like Toronto and Montreal, rather than support actual solutions, and our legislation that actually targets real criminals.” Gallant has two pieces of legislation on firearms reform introduced into the House of Commons. Motion M-439 calls for the replacement of the CFOs with a single, service-oriented national firearms officer, to ensure laws and regulations relating to firearms are enforced evenly across the country. Gallant’s other motion, M452, calls for the responsibility of firearms reclassification to be removed from the RCMP, and given to an impartial civilian firearms technical experts committee.

Overseeing the Ottawa River from the Galilee Centre in Arnprior are Dr. Andrew Bramburger, centre, an aquatic biologist with the St. Lawrence River Institute, with, from left, local volunteer Riverwatchers Mike Ryan, Pat Tait, Gail Clark and Lorne Clark who work with Ottawa Riverkeeper to help protect the health of the river and its tributaries.
Protecting ‘your river’ RUTH MCKLUSKY/SUBMITTED
St. Lawrence River Institute aquatic biologist Dr. Andrew Bramburger shows Fitzroy Riverwatcher Mike Ryan blue-green algae at Ottawa Riverkeeper’s recent Riverwatch workshop in Arnprior. Not all algae are bad news; however, certain species of algae may produce toxins that can create a health hazard for animals and humans. Human activities that contribute to blue-green algae blooms include lawn fertilizers, storm water run-off and poorly maintained septic systems.
News - More than 35 Ottawa Riverkeeper volunteer Riverwatchers gathered July 7 at the Galilee Centre in Arnprior to learn about aquatic invasive species in the Ottawa River watershed and how to identify algae blooms. Ottawa Riverkeeper is a volunteer-driven registered charity that works to positively impact water quality and biodiversity, and inspire and bring people and communities together to protect the Ottawa River.
At Ottawa Riverkeeper’s recent Riverwatch Workshop in Arnprior, David Ryrie, an invasive species specialist with the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, reminds Ottawa Riverkeeper Meredith Brown that boaters’ can help stop the spread of aquatic invasive species by removing all aquatic plants, mussels or other visible organisms from their boat before leaving the boat launch.

Learn to Run offered in Arnprior beginning Aug. 12 Sports - As Bruce Springsteen wrote many years ago, we were ‘Born to Run’. Evolutionarily biologists can prove it, and as little children we knew it. Without training, coaching or special shoes, we soared above the summer grass, oated on autumn leaves and plowed through the freshly fallen snow. We knew how to run, but then we forgot. Work, school, family, time, pounds and other things got in the way. But ignore all of that. On Tuesday, Aug. 12, you will Learn to Run again. This is an 11-week clinic that is open to anyone who can do a 15or 20-minute brisk walk. At the end of the program, you will safely and conďŹ dently be able to run a 5-km race. In fact, the graduation will be the chance to participate in Arnprior’s famous Unity Run on Sunday, Oct. 26. The Learn to Run will use the proven method of Run and Walk. The ďŹ rst week you will run one minute and walk a minute and repeat multiple times. The second week you will run two minutes and walk a minute and repeat.
ANDA SPRUDZS/SUBMITTED
Avid runners, from left, Jennifer NcNulty, Zoe Gosling, Andy Kalnins and Nicole Murray enjoy an outing at Morris Island. They will be helping at a Learn to run clinic starting Aug. 12 in Arnprior. Towards the end you will be running as much as 10 minutes before you walk for the minute. So why this Learn to Run? Proximity - All running will be out of Arnprior’s Nick Smith Centre. Why drive to Ottawa or even Kanata (there and back) when you can do it all here? Expert instruction - The program will be led by Jane Dowd, a local athlete, cyclist, swimmer and runner. Dowd has taught scores of people to
get off the couch and run. Dr. Phil Knapp of the Arnprior Chiropractic Health Clinic will discuss and demonstrate running mechanics, warmups, cool-downs, stretching, injury prevention, nutrition and many other topics. Support - Even in a Learn to Run, some runners will tend to be faster than others, but that does not matter. What matters is that you start, participate and ďŹ nish. An able core of volunteers will ensure that no
one runs alone and no one gets left behind. Every runner who will be helping knows what it is like to have slow runs, and will offer you nothing but encouragement and support. Safety - You will run in groups, you will follow the rules of the road, you will never run alone, and you will run in well established areas. Testimonial - On Feb. 24, 2010, Andy Kalnins proudly walked 50 metres in the corridor of the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, where 24 hours prior to that he had quintuple coronary bypass surgery. On May 25 of this year, the same Andy Kalnins ran the full marathon (42.2-kim) in Ottawa Race Weekend. Kalnins is forever grateful to all the Learn to Runs on the planet and those who volunteer their time to do them. Fun - You will laugh, you will have fun, and you will make new friends. People of all ages take part. Some people come as a family, others come as a group, others come alone. All are welcome. Community Living Renfrew County South - All money earned will go to this stellar organization. Fine print - This clinic is open to
anyone. No one will take attendance, but experience has shown that the best results are obtained with maximum participation. It is suggested that participants be comfortable walking at a good pace for 15 to 20 minutes. You will have to sign a waiver and certainly it is very prudent to check with a medical professional before taking part in any exercise program. The cost is $35 for all 11 weeks, but that will enable participants to take part in the Unity Run at no charge (a $35 value). If someone chooses not to participate in the Unity Run, the $35 will be considered a donation to Community Living Renfrew County South. The clinics all take place at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior on Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m., rain or shine. Start date is Aug. 12. Participants are encouraged to sign up in advance, in person at the Nick Smith Centre or by calling 613-623-7301. For more information, contact Dowd at 613-623-9963 or jraedowd@sympatico.ca, or Kalnins at 613-6225464 or atrapids@gmail.com.

Local bowlers successful in Deep River R0012820380
Sports - It was well worth the drive up to Deep River for the Galetta lawn bowling team of skip Rico Silvestro and vice-skip Flo Silvestro. They teamed up with lead Kathy Amunds, a bowler from Deep River Lawn Bowling Club, and won the Valu-Mart Mixed Triples Tournament at the Deep River Lawn Bowling Club on July 19. In December 2011, a devastating fire destroyed the original Deep River Lawn Bowling Club, burning to ashes greens maintenance equipment, lawn bowls and the total interior contents of the club. With assistance from other bowls clubs in District 16 and their own resolve, the industrious and resilient members of the Deep River Lawn Bowls Club have rebuilt a beautiful new clubhouse and replaced lost equipment. This season the club’s focus has been on improving the running surface of their bowls green and reports are that it is much improved - making it definitely worth the drive to the most northerly bowls venue in District 16.
Amazing location
3 bed, 3 bath extensively renovated waterfront only 35 minutes to Kanata. Over 200 feet of useable waterfront on the beautiful Madawaska River. For more photos: www.76mcvicarlane.com

Sports – While most students are enjoying the lazy, hazy days of summer, Kelsey LaPlante is hard at work in preparation for an upcoming, exciting new role. Arnprior’s LaPlante has been recruited and signed for the inaugural season of varsity basketball at Nipissing University. Just entering teacher’s college, the 6’, 2” athlete is thrilled with the opportunity to pair up two things she loves – teaching and basketball. Growing up, LaPlante played basketball at Arnprior District High School and the Valley Pride club in Arnprior. She spent this past year as a coach for the Valley Pride. Born in Kingston, LaPlante moved Arnprior when she was eight years old, attending St. Joseph’s Catholic School. It was there and with the West Carleton Little Warriors program, that her love affair with the sport of basketball began. After having played soccer and trying other sports, basketball just clicked. “I finally found a sport where I was like ‘I can do this,’” said LaPlante. “It’s hard to explain but when I get on the court everything else disappears – I don’t think about being a struggling student or whether I had a fight with someone or family stuff. It all goes
away and I’m just focused on the game.” At 17, LaPlante went away to Laurentian University, where she did play basketball. The experience was valuable, but ultimately she left the team and decided to focus on academics. She ended up transferring to the University of Ottawa where she earned her degree. When she was investigating teachers college she applied to Nipissing and when she heard the announcement about the school’s new basketball program she sent a quick email to coach Marg Jones of Kinburn. “She knew a lot of girls I played high school ball with,” said LaPlante. “We met and did a session on court.” Learning she made the team was exciting. “Most people don’t get a second chance. I was really sad about the way basketball turned out when I first went to school. This is my chance, this is awesome,” said LaPlante. “Before I was 17 now I’m going to be 23, more disciplined and physically and mentally fit.” She’s working at the Prior Sports Bar for the summer and spending all kinds of time in training, working with Hannah SunleyPaisley, who was recently voted to the first all-Canadian squad for the first time in her career.

Lyn Lightning strike at tourney McNab Selects host eight teams at Centre Park Sports - McNab Centre Park was a busy spot from morning to late afternoon Saturday, July 26, as eight teams gathered for a regional peewee selects baseball tournament. When the dust settled, Little Lightning from Lyn (near Brockville) won the A side of the event, defeating the Osgoode Chiefs. In the B side of the tournament, the Doug-
las team defeated Orleans. Host team McNab Selects lost in the semifinals to Osgoode. The score was 10-5. However, the Selects went 2-1 and won all their round-robin games. The Selects host this tournament on an annual basis. There is one more tournament left for the team - Aug. 9 in Douglas.

Team has height, speed, shooters: LaPlante Continued from Page 28
Sunley-Paisley is a threetime OUA East MVP and the all-time University of Ottawa leader in scoring and rebounding. “She’s training me and she’s killing me. I’ve never trained this hard in my life,” said LaPlante. The first-ever Nipissing Lakers women’s basketball team, which had an early summer training camp at West Carleton Secondary School, is shaping up to be a good one. “They might underestimate us, coming in,” said LaPlante. “We’ve got height, speed, shooters.” She describes herself as more of a defensive player with room for improvement in offense.
“There’s something really satisfying about being in someone’s face and stopping them from playing,” she said. Her experience this past year coaching Valley Pride girls has taught her things, as well. “It’s been a really rewarding and a great experience,” said LaPlante. “There’s nothing better than teaching someone something and seeing the moment of realization on their face.” She credits the love and support of her family and boyfriend and guidance from former coaches with her success. She’s very close to her mom Donna LaPlante of Arnprior and her boyfriend Matt Valiquette is her biggest fan, said
LaPlante. Turning the page on this new chapter, she is holding close memories of her grandmother Anna Dupuis, who passed away this past January. “She was always proud of everything I did and she is also part of my inspiration because I know how proud she would be. I just wish she was here to share it,” said LaPlante. Former teacher and coach Dennis Coulterman also had a huge impact. In the future, LaPlante hopes to become a teacher somewhere in the area and continue coaching basketball. “Ideally I wouldn’t mind coming back here, it would be awesome to teach in the high school I went to,” she said.

Demolition, roller derbies coming to Arnprior Fair Events - Ready, set ... smash! The long-time favourite of Arnprior Fair attendees, the popular demolition derby is returning to the Arnprior Fair with not one but two nights of action. The action is scheduled to begin Thursday, Aug. 7 at 7 p.m. for the four-cylinder cars, mini-vans and trucks. After the derby, fairgoers will be able to wander over to the stage and beer tent area to watch local band, The Working Class, followed by country sensation Doc Walker at 9 p.m. On Saturday, Aug. 9 at 5 p.m., the action resumes with demolition derby classes of six- and eight-cylinder stock cars. Music will follow with Rudy and the Saddle Ups in the beer tent area.

There will be three new gatehouses in place in time for next week’s Arnprior Fair, thanks to M&J Enterprises. LORI HODDINOTT/SUBMITTED
There will be two nights of crashing and smashing at the Arnprior Fair this year, with demolition derbies Thursday at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 5 p.m. The Kingston area band Rudy and Saddle Up, below left, who will be entertaining at the Arnprior Fair after Saturday’s demolition derby, list Doc Walker as one of their major influences. Doc Walker is performing Thursday evening after the four-cyclinder demolition derby.
Community - New gatehouses rolled into the Arnprior Fairgrounds last week just in time for the fair, which will run Aug. 7 to 10. Realizing a need for gatehouses at the three fairgrounds entrances, Fair board vice-president Scott Brum was able to secure the services of Mike Dawe of M&J Enterprises in Pembroke to construct them. Dawe then generously donated and delivered the completed gatehouses to the Arnprior Agricultural Society fairgrounds on Galvin Street. The gatehouses will provide a safer, weatherproof work zone for the ticket-takers at fairground events, as well as provide a better flow for entrants. The Arnprior Agricultural Society is thankful for the generous donation from M&J Enterprises in Pembroke.
ROLLER DERBY
In other derby news, the Renfrew County Roller Derby Team, The Valkyries, will be at the fair on Friday evening to show off their sport. Preceding the music entertainment of SpiderKillers and Harlequin that evening, the players will lace up their skates in the exhibit hall. The skate will start at about 6:30 p.m.

Paramed workers seek raise News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The dispute between Paramed Home Health Care and its employees in Renfrew County is a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;David versus Goliathâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; struggle, says the president union representing the workers. In a news release, Warren â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Smokeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thomas points out that the starting wage for a home support worker at Paramed is $12.88 an hour. For that they are expected to provide their own vehicle to shuttle between appointments, he says. On the other end of the scale, Extendicare CEO Timonthy Lukenda earned $1.129 million in compensation for 2012 according to Business Week, points out the union. Extendicare is the parent company that owns Paramed. OPSEU pointed out much of Lukendaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s salary would come from revenue paid by the Ontario government towards nursing home care and home support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a David versus Goliath struggle between one of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest private for-profit health care corporations and this small group of workers in Renfrew County,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Thomas. The 140 home care and support service employees, who serve clients from Arnprior to Pembroke, are threatening to go out on strike unless they get a wage offer â&#x20AC;&#x153;that rises above the poverty level.â&#x20AC;?

Angela Yach was busy Saturday afternoon outside the Arnprior Giant Tiger, selling copies of the Ottawa Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sexiest Men fundraising calendar. Proceeds of the sales go to Ride for Dad and community food banks in Deep River, Petawawa, Renfrew and Arnprior. Online voters posted 180,000 clicks to determine the 12 men, chosen from 80 submissions, featured in the fundraising calendar. They are Matt Grant (Arnprior), Scott Morgan (Arnprior), Jake Sinclair (Carp), Tristan Crigger (Pembroke), Alex Novosad (Renfrew), Dan Osborne (Killaloe), Tyler Splane Matt (Aylmer), Al Ramsden (Renfrew), Napoleon Renaud (Deep River), Colin Proulx (Pembroke), Robert Briscoe (Petawawa) and Sean Brennan (Ottawa). Ninety-year-old Ramsden garnered the most votes. The photography was by Shannon Peters of Lilycreek Photography and Art Studio. Calendars are available online and at locations across the Ottawa Valley. Urban Ford of Arnprior-Renfrew was the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major sponsor.
News - The public can help support the Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus Association of Ontario (SB&H) by making a donation at any of the more than 635 LCBO stores in Ontario. Donation boxes for SB&H will be displayed at LCBO checkout counters, including Arnpriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, until Aug. 16. SB&H is the only organization in Ontario providing support, comprehensive information and education to children, adults, families and caregivers facing extraordinary challenges as a result of spina bifida and/or hydrocephalus. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Every Healthy Baby is a Victoryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; campaign spreads the word about the vital need for women in their reproductive years to take a daily multivitamin containing 0.4 mg of folic acid. Doing so can dramatically reduce the risk of birth defects such as spina bifida. â&#x20AC;&#x153;LCBOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s province-wide store network and supportive staff help us raise significant funds for important programs and services benefiting thousands of Ontario families,â&#x20AC;? said SB&H executive director Joan Booth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It also helps to increase public awareness about spina bifida and hydrocephalus, which are complex, lifelong neurological conditions. We appreciate the support we receive from LCBO, its employees and especially its customers.â&#x20AC;? SB&H is one of 28 provincial and numerous local charities that will benefit from LCBOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s province-wide donation box program this year.

It was hard to beat the heat on Northcote farm Lifestyle - â&#x20AC;&#x153;Always had fans in New York,â&#x20AC;? Mother said, sitting in a straight-back chair in the darkened kitchen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just plugged them in and away they went ... cooled the whole house down in minutes.â&#x20AC;? Well, there would be no fans on the farm in Northcote. With no electricity, we had to rely on other ways to keep the old log house cool. And sometimes they worked, but most times, the heat of the summer won out. The Findlay Oval had already been rolled out to the summer kitchen on two logs. And we tried to keep the door closed between the summer and regular kitchens, but that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always work either. Mother had been working in the garden before dinner, before the sun was at its highest, and she came in with the dish pan full of fresh yellow beans, bunches of carrots, and some green onions. Of course, she weeded
MARY COOK Memories while she was out there too, which added to her complaints about the heat. It was almost pitch dark in the kitchen. When the heat of the summer came with a vengeance, Mother immediately began the almost impossible task of keeping the house cool. Her first job was to take quilts out of the trunk where they had been stored after winter, and cover each window in the kitchen. There they hung, shutting out the blasts of the sun that hit the old house from early morning until after our suppers at night, and turning the room almost pitch black. To let a bit of light into the kitchen, Mother took a safety pin and fas-
tened up the tiniest corner of each blanket, to take away from the total darkness. Father wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the least bit happy with this arrangement, and said there had to be other ways to cool down the house. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes,â&#x20AC;? Mother retorted sharply. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we had electricity, we could have fans.â&#x20AC;? As if poor Father could do anything about that. It was hard enough to find the money to buy coal oil for the lamps. Of course, there was no covering the windows in the summer kitchen ... that would have served no purpose with the cook stove blasting away from early morning until after supper. So the main kitchen was always the coolest room in the house, and that was where Mother had collapsed that day, with her face beat-red, and the sweat rolling off the end of her nose. The noon meal was cooking out in the summer kitchen, and Father and the brothers had already washed up

demonstrated all day. When one arm got tired, I switched to the other, and I wondered if the air I was creating was anything like the fans Mother had in New York City. Well, it must have come close, because Mother told me to go to the cupboard and bring her down the sugar bowl with the egg money in it. I felt my way over to the cupboard, barely making out the bowl in the darkened room. Mother took the lid off and reached in, bringing out a coin. I could feel it was a whole nickel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it ever cools off, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take a run to Briscoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and you can get yourself an ice cream cone,â&#x20AC;? she said. It was the first time I had ever been given anything out of the egg money. There was no such thing as allowances back then. I had no idea how long Mother sat in the cooler room, but when I came down stairs after going up to my bedroom and tying the nickel in the corner of my hanky, joining the few other coins I had accumulated over a very long time, she was out in the summer kitchen, redding up the dinner table. Her face was getting red again, and she was swiping it with the corner of her apron once more. But there was work to be done. Her rest was over. I wondered if she would again, later in the day, go back to the cooler kitchen, and would I, once more, be able to use the Renfrew Mercury as a fan, and would I then get another nickel out of the egg money sugar bowl for my effort? All I could do was wait for the hot summer day to once again take its toll, as I pictured my fast growing wealth upstairs in the corner of my hanky.

at the basin on the bench at the back door. When they opened the door where Mother, Audrey and I were trying to cool off, a blast of hot air swept into the room like a blowtorch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shut the door,â&#x20AC;? Mother yelled. With great effort Mother got off the chair, and as if bracing herself for battle, stood in front of the door separating the two kitchens, making sure Audrey and I were right behind her, and the three of us went out like a bolt of lightening to keep the cool air in, and the heat out. Of course, there was no such thing as a salad plate for dinner at noon hour. Father had to have his meat, potatoes, vegetables and dessert regardless what the big â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Supertestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; thermometer said, nailed to the outside frame of the back door. Father and the brothers loaded their plates as if it was their last meal on earth. And as soon as their plates were cleaned, they loaded up again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How anyone can eat in this weather is beyond me,â&#x20AC;? Mother said, as she cut a raisin pie into four pieces. We three headed back into the cooler kitchen, which by noon hour was fast taking on the outside heat of the day, but still wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as hot as where Father and the brothers were forking in their dinner. Mother again collapsed into a chair, and Audrey stretched out on the creton couch, and I stood like a stick not knowing exactly where I fit into this picture. I sure hated to miss a meal. But I wanted to stay close to Mother just in case she passed out, which my sister Audrey said could happen when you were overcome with the heat. I picked up a copy of the Renfrew Mercury and stood beside Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chair and fanned her with all my might. She stopped wiping her face with the tail of her apron, and sighed with a contentment we hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen
News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Before you celebrate a big win, check it out. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the advice from area OPP who are investigating complaints of a new variation of scams involving requests for money orders to facilitate the transfer of â&#x20AC;&#x153;prize moneyâ&#x20AC;? to victims. Victims have been contacted by telephone advising they have won a prize, usually of a
million dollars or more. The caller states that the victim needs to send a money order to pay for the driver to deliver the prize. The amount â&#x20AC;&#x153;requestedâ&#x20AC;? has ranged anywhere from $235 to $565.99. The caller gives a name and address in the United States and has represented himself as operating on behalf of Readers Digest. If the victim receives
a voice mail and returns the call he, or she, is told the money has been transferred to the Federal Reserve and a larger sum is needed to release and deliver the prize. The OPP urges the public not to forward funds or release banking or personal details to any unsolicited requests for funds and call them or CrimeStoppers to report the incidents.

Arnprior soprano Molly Luhta to entertain with concert of opera arias
MOLLY LUHTA/SUBMITTED
Molly Luhta: to perform in Arnprior Aug. 9.
Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Grace-St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church in Arnprior will be filled with the melodious sounds of opera arias by composers such as Mozart, Menotti, Puccini and more at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 9. Soprano Molly Luhta, a native of Arnprior, will be returning home to present a special concert of some of her favourite works. Pianist Kim Duca of Kingston will be her accompanist. A meet-and-greet and light refreshments will be served after the concert. Luhtaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love of classical voice and theatre has driven her to pursue a career on the opera stage. She is a graduate of Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s University, with a degree in vocal performance and drama and a second degree in music education. She was a member of Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Student Opera Company (QSOC) and performed such roles as Micaela in Bizetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Carmen and Hansel in Humperdinkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hansel and Gretel. In her fifth year, she became vocal director for QSOCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production of Guettelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Light in the Piazza. She was a member of the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choral Ensemble and the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chamber Choir for two years.
Last summer, Luhta attended the New York Opera Studio-Delaware Valley Opera Summer Advantage Program where she studied the role of Countess in Mozartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Le nozze di Figaro. She was the 2014 winner of the Kingston Kiwanis Gobin Voice Award and a provincial finalist in the Kiwanis Festival Open Voice division. She won various awards in the 2013, 2012 and 2011 Kingston Kiwanis festivals. She was the 2010 winner of the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Concerto/Aria Competition, and later that year performed as the guest soloist with the Kingston Symphony Orchestra in their Candlelight Christmas Concert. SUCCESSFUL STUDIO
Luhta lives in Kingston and is currently studying with Marianne Bendig in Toronto. She runs a very successful private studio with a full roster of voice and piano students and is the founder and program director of the Odessa Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choir Program (OCCP). She begins her Master of Music in voice performance at Western University this September
and looks forward to her future in opera. In addition to her 3 p.m. concert in Arnprior on Aug. 9, Luhta will be performing a followup concert in Kingston on Friday, Aug. 22 at St. Markâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lutheran Church, featuring even more of her favourite works. GUEST SOLOIST
She will also be performing as guest soloist with the Ottawa Valley Music Festival Orchestra and Chorus at their concert on Sunday, Sept. 28 at St. John Chrysostom Church in Arnprior. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come on out to one or all of Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local concerts to enjoy some fantastic music, experience her amazing talent, and help support this rising starâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career path to the opera stage,â&#x20AC;? urge her fans. For more information and tickets ($10 for Luhtaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solo concerts; $25 adults, $10 students, 12-and-under free for the Ottawa Valley Festival concert), contact Vicki Luhta at luhtays@ yahooo.ca or call 613-623-1180. Tickets will also be available at the door, if not sold out in advance.

Puppets Up! to celebrate Youths! Adults! Seniors! Extra Money! 10th anniversary Aug 9-10 Earn Keep Your Weekends Free! Two-day festival features shows from troupes worldwide Events - It has been 10 years since the Puppets Up! International Puppet Festival began - the brainchild of celebrated puppeteer, Noreen Young, and her team of enthusiastic supporters from the Almonte area. What started as a small town event showcasing the talents of a number of puppeteers whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d settled in the area, as well as other Canadian and American performers, Puppets Up! has grown into a large, popular event presenting the often times cutting-edge work of puppeteers from around the globe. Puppets Up! mascot, Nick, has invited some of his favourite performers from around the globe to return to the best family festival around as the Puppets Up! International Puppet Festival returns to Almonte Aug. 9 and 10 to celebrate its
10th anniversary. Starting on the Saturday morning, the two-day festival will feature shows by professional puppet troupes from Canada, the United States, Italy and Switzerland. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Happy Birthdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is the theme this year and organizers are delighted to welcome friends old and new for their 10th year. The Puppets Up! International Festival will provide world-class puppet performances in the theatres and on the streets, hassle free (and free) parking, a daily parade, a walkable and visitor-friendly festival site, varied local shops and festival vendors, and plenty of green space for the occasional breather. Each day the festival presents a parade with puppets, puppet troupes, musicians, clowns and other entertain-
ers. The festival always has a parade marshal and this year theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re be two. On Saturday, Aug. 9, Ottawa mayor Jim Watson and his look-alike puppet (made by Young) will lead the parade. The following day, Sunday, Aug. 10, Almonte native - and Sochi Olympic athlete - Perianne Jones, will take the lead and parade participants will follow her down Mill Street. On Saturday night (Aug. 9), the festival promises the usual â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;controlled chaosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at a puppet cabaret in Almonteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Old Town Hall for adults only. Following the birthday theme, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A Blow Outâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cabaret begins at 8 p.m. For more information about the festival, the cabaret, tickets and pricing, visit www. puppetsup.ca or call 613-7210164. Festival tickets can be bought online.

Boyd and Rose Ann MacLaren would like to thank their family for the marvelous party they put on to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. Their efforts and attention to detail and their endeavor to contact our friends and relatives was above and beyond what one might hope for. Thank you to everyone who turned out to the farm to spend time with us on our special day, and to those who sent greetings because they were unable to attend. Even the weather co-operated to make for a beautiful day. Also thank you to those who had to be in the hay field and couldn’t come. We realize with all the rain this year you have to take advantage of the weather when you get it.

In the lonely hour of thinking, Thoughts of you are ever near, God alone knows how we miss you, As there dawns another year. Someone at dawn and noontideSomeone at dusk and night, Lifts you to God’s safe keepingTrust you in God’s clear sight.
Fond are the ties that are broken Dear is the one that is gone, In memory we shall keep him As long as the years roll on. As we loved him, so we miss him, In our memory he is dear, Loved, remembered, longed for always, Bringing many a silent tear.

DENNIS MACNAMARA
The moment that I lost you My heart was torn in two One side filled with heartache The other died with you. I often lie awake at night When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane With tears upon my cheeks. Remembering you is easy I do it everyday But missing you is heartache That never goes away. I hold you tightly within My heart there you shall remain. Until the joyous day arrives, That we shall meet again.
CLR542962
I’ll treasure forever the friendship we shared, The things you did, the way you cared, Someone to turn to, so kind and true, One in a million, Dennis, I will never forget you.
Our lives go on without you But nothing is the same We have to hide our heartache When someone speaks your name Sad are the hearts that love you Silent are the tears that fall Living without you Is the hardest part of all You did so many things for us Your heart was kind and true And when we needed someone We could always count on you The special years will not return When we are all together But with the love in our hearts You walk with us forever.
