Tying the knot Arnprior style gets town ‘I do’ Patricia Leboeuf pleboeuf@metroland.com
News - Looking for a place to get married? Then look no further than the Arnprior municipal offices. What the setting might lack in romance, it makes up with convenience. Offering wedding licences has long been a part of the municipal roster, but the actual civil ceremony will soon be an added service. The legislation governing civil weddings was amended a few years ago after justices of the peace and judges were buried under requests “so there was an expansion downwards to municipal clerks and deputy clerks.� As such council has voted to allow selected staff to perform civil
ceremonies. Helping along true love is just a fringe benefit. Allowing weddings to be performed will have a trickle down economic effect. “We do see it as an opportunity for the various business entities that are out there,� said CAO Michael Wildman. “Whether it is a restaurant or catering service, maybe even a clothing line, it all spins out of this. It also fits in perfectly with the town’s strategic vision of offering more services, being business friendly and marketing itself. The service is affordable and offers a venue to people who wouldn’t necessarily feel comfortable in a church. These ceremonies can be as quick or as long as the couple desires.
It can be held in the actual municipal offices, council chambers or in other areas such as the nearby Robert Simpson Park. Extra fees would be added on ceremonies held after office hours. The civil ceremonies will also be offered to gay couples looking to tie the knot. “If we were asked that would be something that will be permitted,� confirmed Wildman. Those looking to wed in a Klingon uniform, however, should not apply as only serious ceremonies will be considered. “It has to be tasteful,� said Wildman. “I think that is something that as a clerk and a deputy clerk will have to look at... I’m not sure we’ll be doing the Star Trek themed ones.�

Baskin Drive construction to start Monday Patricia Leboeuf pleboeuf@metroland.com
News - Rehabilitation of Baskin Drive and Division Street will begin on Monday (Aug. 19) and continue on until to the end of September. County Road 10, as it is formally known, will not be closed during the entire project, but will be reduced to a single lane of traffic. There will be temporary closures at times and those will be advertised ahead of time.
The Renfrew County project is estimated to cost about $650,000, confirmed Reeve Walter Stack with information fresh from the county “It’s largely a shave and pave,� he said during the Aug. 12 Arnprior council meeting. “It’s going to pave shoulders from the top of Division (Street) though to Daniel (Street) on Baskin Drive,� he said. Baskin Drive will also have two road cross culverts replaced. The area was principally chosen to repave due to the high traffic generated from the AJ Charbonneau School and the near-
by seniors’ home. The shoulder will be done as well. “We’ve adopted a policy now each year that we will spend money on shoulder paving, partly due to consideration of alternate transportation modes,� said Stack. “Cycling is such a big thing.� Adding pavement to the side of the road will make it all together safer and help prevent road deterioration because of that added buffer between the road and the gravel. “We are paving more and more of the shoulders to try and elongate life of the road,� said Stack.

Following their investigation the male was found to be breaching his probation order by possessing a weapon, and attempting to enter the residence. A 23-year-old Arnprior man was charged with two counts of breach of probation. He was held in custody for a bail hearing. Const. Barry Richardson investigated.
Renfrew OPP officers responded to 6 domestic disputes during the past week. One male was charged with criminal harassment. No other criminal offences occurred.

Plenty of feedback for agriculture minister … aka, premier Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com
News - It was the second visit to the area by Ontario’s agriculture minister in as many summers, but it was a different person this time. A year ago, Minister Ted McMeekin came to hear about drought-ridden farmers’ economic needs. Last week, Kathleen Wynne, who was elected the province’s
first female premier in January 2013, bore the title of agriculture minister while visiting farms around Rankin, Foresters Falls, Kinburn, Carleton Place and Perth. “It’s a bit unusual in the last decades, but it has happened before,” said Wynne who’s serving as both premier and agriculture minister. Her one-day blitz Aug. 6 began at Wade Schroeder’s beef farm on B-Line Road near Rankin, where she hosted an in-camera roundtable with regional agricultural repre-

The next stop was FEPRO Farms, where she spent about an hour talking to Klaesi family members Paul, Elias and Michael and visiting different components of their farm on Government Road, just outside Foresters Falls. Next the premier was off to Kinburn’s Panmure Farms, which specializes in pork production and market gardening; Canadian Co-operative
Wool Growers in Carleton Place; and the egg-producing Campbell family farm near Perth. “To me, it is such a privilege to learn more about this important industry,” said Wynne while at FEPRO Farms, which does robotic milking for 150 cows and runs a biodigestion system that’s linked to Ontario’s hydro grid.

Crossing the literary borders from crossing that line.
Patricia Leboeuf pleboeuf@metroland.com
WRITING THE BOOK
News - Part biography, part history book, The Thinner Blue Line by Arnprior’s Barry Risk is a sneak peak into the realities of the life of custom officers and the border they protect. Liberally peppered with personal anecdotes, court cases and images, Risk takes the reader into a literary ride in a typically unknown world. The first time author wrote the book out of his Arnprior home as a catharsis. “Originally I started writing because after 35 years I was frustrated and I needed something to remove the angst,” said Risk. “I didn’t want to retire angry. So it was more for my own (sake), and possibly my children some day.” Sometimes people view custom agents in a bad light, complaining about the wait and forget about the pressures officers are under, said Risk. “Take Windsor for instance,” he said. “There are 4,000 18-wheelers a day cross that border, $1.5 billion worth of business a day.” There is between 98 to 120 million people crossing the Canadian border every year. “That’s a lot of people to process and it’s very difficult to reach in and grab the one person who’s a criminal or smuggling.” “The public doesn’t have the concept of size,” he added. When he first started working with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), it was the type of place where people spent entire lifetimes, but now the turnover rate is extremely high. There are also some politics he disagrees with. “The Harper government is moving to what’s known as combined border operations,” said Risk. “If you’ve travel to Europe, you’ll know that it’s part of a thing which we familiarly call Fortress Europe.” Landing anywhere in Europe allows a traveler to go from country to country without a passport check. The outside of Europe acts as the perimeter border. “Sounds great in theory, but in reality a border is only a strong as a weakest link,” said Risk. If this policy passes in Canada, North American borders will merge and there will be no secondary check. This means that if a terrorist passes the border into the United States, there will be nothing to prevent him from entering Canada, said Risk. Despite his disagreements with certain politics, he is a fervent believer in the good that custom agents do. They make sure that the borders are safe from unsavory characters and prevent dangerous and illegal imports and exports
His wife Ingrid pushed him into writing the book, putting his stories down for everybody to enjoy. It took a total of two years to finish writing his book. He published his book with General Store Publishing House out of Renfrew, who supported him at every corner. “They plugged me into a professional editor,” said Risk. “It was a real pleasure working with her. What was nice was that she didn’t have much experience with borders and it tweaked all sorts of questions from her. “That became a nice project to do upon retirement,” he added. The Thinner Blue Line is available in hardcover and in ebook format. He wrote his book for three different audiences. “The first audience is the public,” said Risk. “The general public does not understand border protection the language we use, their legal rights, what’s involved. It’s been a shame that its part of our function is being based on that ignorance.” He illuminates some of the more convoluted corners of border control, using concrete examples, deciphering the language and explaining the necessity of the officer’s diligence. He also explains why some people may take longer to cross the border than others. “Secondary (customs) isn’t a bad thing at all,” said Risk. “It means that some questions occurred in our triage. “It means the person didn’t fit the norm,” he added. “If you were going to Jamaica would you take a fur coat? That’s not to say that you are a bad person if you paid for cash the day before or you took a fur coat to Jamaica. It just means that it is a little odd.” The second audience he tries to target is new officers. “Unfortunately they’ve lost the sense of the history of customs,” said Risk. “We are the oldest enforcement arm of the Canadian government. We were formed before there was the RCMP. Our first custom port was built in 1719 before this country was built.” “Our history is much older then that,” he added. “Our patron saint is St. Matthew. In the bible, it’s mentioned that Matthew was a custom officer.” The book also contains several anecdotes that new officers could learn from to avoid some of the kerfuffles he faced as a young adult. The third audience is for historians, demonstrating how customs used to operate and highlighting all the efforts of the old officers.

For 35 years, Barry Risk has been a customs officer. His book, The Thinner Blue Line, was inspired by his experiences. Being a customs officer wasn’t originally his plan. He originally wanted to be a teacher, but when that fell through he joined the federal government. It was after working on a project related to customs that his interest was sparked and “as events in the book say I followed through and became a custom officer.” Even before his service, he wasn’t a stranger to borders, crossing many countries by land from England to India. He has travelled both for work and for pleasure. Working first as a uniformed customs officer, he climbed through the ranks until he reached the position of superintended. He’s also worked as a counter-terrorist intelligence officer and has worked abroad during the Yugoslav Wars. He’s seen it all from drunken ministers to crates of cop-killer bullets to international R0012248201
political pressures and has remained diligent through it all, often missing time with his wife and children in order to keep the Canadians safe from objectionable elements. “The first 17 years of my marriage, I didn’t see Christmas,” said Risk. “Because its 7/24, 365 days a year. It’s not just the borders, it’s the warehouses.” He admits to being in danger several times, some situations he describes in the book. For all his hard work, he received several medals. The newly released book is currently available at the General Store Publishing House at www.gsph.com, online at www.amazon.ca and the Arnprior Book Shop, but he’s received inquiries from Hong Kong, Europe and Thailand. There will be a special book signing at the Arnprior Book Shop on Sept. 21.

Special fair day for special people normally be able to get, said Social service worker with Community Living Renfrew County South (CLRCS) Steph Guertin. “I think it is absolutely phenomenal,” said Guertin. “What a great experience for all my guys and what a great experience for all of us to see this.” His friend felt the same. Adam Boldt exited the mini-rollercoaster with a large smile stretching his face. He spent the morning trying out the different rides and enjoying the games, accompanied by Guertin. The spinning, the dizziness, the sheer pleasure of being under the sun while rushing at incredible speeds was an incredible experience. Boldt said without hesitation that the fair “should do it again” and that it was well worth it. “I run a job co-op,” said Guertin. “We do work in the neighborhood, cut grass and do whatever. I usually see them at their best. Well this is at their funnest. I love it.” After riding for several hours, attendees were treated to a barbecue and serenaded by local musician Maria Hawkins. “She’s amazing,” said Clark. “She’s very social with the special needs kids and even children in general.” A petting zoo and Crash the Clown were also on site to keep everybody entertained.

Community - Officially the Arnprior Fair opened its gates last Thursday afternoon, but a very special crowd enjoyed the grounds long before then. Over 400 people with special needs and their families and guardians descended upon the fair to enjoy a free exclusive run of the place. “It’s good for them to mingle with other children,” said the fair board’s special needs organizer Sue Clark. “However there are some points where they need less people, less crowd and not to have excited children who are healthy bumping them. “It gives them a little less fear and more chance to get on the rides and have fun with children like themselves,” she added. It can be particularly beneficial for people with several special needs or sensory issues to have time away from loud crowds and enjoy a morning of fun in safe environment. Though children made the majority of the attendees, people of all ages were given the chance to attend and many traveled long distances. “We’ve got people from Ottawa, we’ve got Renfrew, we’ve got Almonte, we’ve got Barry’s Bay, I guess, and we’ve got, of course, Arnprior area,” said Clark. People with disabilities are part of the community and these sorts of events allows them to step out of the shadows and get all sorts of experiences they wouldn’t

Lifestyle - Our species sees the world in a snapshot of time. For many of us, change seems unnatural and so we resist it. Yet ever since its molecules bonded into a cohesive form and life began to seethe in its primordial seas, planet Earth has exhibited nothing but change. From towering dinosaurs to hairy mammoths, many organisms have arisen, had their day, and then vanished.

kard of time. Yet while our eyes will never record major events such as the rise and fall of dinosaurs, we do occasionally see signs of change. Over the past few decades species seldom observed locally now appear in unprecedented numbers. Common Ravens were once a rare sight in the Ottawa Valley, making infrequent appearances only in winter. Now their nests can be seen on bridges, tall buildings, Hydro pylons, and barn silos all through southern Ontario. Giant Swallowtails, the largest butterflies in Canada that were formerly confined to the extreme southwestern portion of Ontario, are currently quivering their huge wings atop Phlox blooms throughout eastern Ontario. Sadly we have also seen trends move in the opposite direction. Loggerhead Shrikes were once so common that as a young boy I found five nests in a single day while birdwatching on foot near Arnprior; I have not seen a single nest in the Ottawa Valley in more than two decades. In recent years one of the most common organisms has been quietly performing a vanishing act. MICHAEL RUNTZ The Monarch - one of the Monarchs are no longer a common sight in our region.
THE TOWNSHIP OF LANARK HIGHLANDS
best-known butterflies in North America - has gone through a dramatic population decline over the past two decades. A variety of factors have been implicated with climate change at the route of many of them. Unfavourable weather encountered during the Monarch’s famous migration, and severe and wide-scale droughts that have periodically dried nectar sources are two factors. Added to these are spraying of herbicides and insecticides, and urban sprawl that continuously devours natural habitat. Additionally, disturbances at the wintering grounds in Mexico have caused Monarchs to awaken and burn up life-sustaining energy reserves. Many of you have noticed the near complete absence of Monarchs this summer. By July the second or third generations produced by the adults that flew last fall from Ontario to Mexico should have inundated our region. But virtually no Monarchs have been sighted anywhere in the province this year. It has been estimated that the Monarch population has gone through more than a 90 per cent decline in less than two decades. If that trend is not soon reversed we could potentially see Monarch butterflies go extinct in our lifetime. While change is inevitable, the rapidity of this butterfly’s decline might just be the canary in a gold mine. We could well be witnessing more than the end of a monarchy.

Campground group seeks volunteers Community - Are you looking for a worthwhile outdoor project? Try a beautiful natural campground on the banks of the historic Ottawa River a place for family picnics, socials and outdoor fun summer and winter. We welcome your help and support and we are looking for volunteers to join our Friends of Camp Echon venture. Located at the Ottawa River across from Quyon, this historic site is being restored to its glory days from the 1950’s to 1980’s as a community camp and outdoor activities area for summer and winter functions. We are looking for enthusiastic supporters and volunteers of all ages interested in getting involved with this new beginning for Camp Echon. The Camp gets its unique name and historic roots from the Algonquin word Echon, the name given to the Jesuit priest and martyr Father Jean de Brebeuf who camped and worked with the early aboriginals on this site 400 years ago. Later another hardworking young priest Father John O’Neil using his own private funds would invite hundreds of young campers and outdoor enthusiasts to come and learn about ancient aboriginal history and crafts. A group of local volunteers from the Constance Bay and Fitzroy Harbour area have been working hard for over a year to obtain access, and supervisory custodial operation of the site. We are the Friends of Camp Echon. Come and join us. Enquiries may be directed to: Don Pajot, Box 28, 136 Acorn Cr., Woodlawn, On, K0A3M0. 613-832-2693.

EDITORIAL
Time to abolish the Senate More and more Canadians are coming to the realization that the Senate doesn’t work for them; that successive governments have done nothing more than promise to fix it; and that the only way to convince national and provincial politicians to closing the upper house is by demanding a referendum. Allow Canadians to vote on it and may the majority get its way. That’s how democracy works. Plenty of academics, public intellectuals and elder statesmen have kept the Senate alive for far too long. They remind us that its existence is guaranteed by the Constitution. They appear to value their knowledge of the law more than the spirit of good sense. They tell us that only by opening that dreaded can of worms can abolition occur; as if the country would split by following the will of the majority. They ask: How can we convince senators to kill their own jobs, let along convince all five provinces that enjoy over-representation in the upper house to agree? Easy. Show them the referendum results. Those that choose to ignore them do so at their own political peril. There are many reasons why the Senate should be abolished. At the very top is its inherent elitism. It began as an institution for rich landowners to
protect themselves from the revolutionary masses that swept over many countries during the Age of Ideology. It remains so to this day, with party faithful entering the red chamber on little more than cocktail-party credentials. Each is paid $132,300 a year. Taxpayers pay $106 million a year for it, not including pension plan contributions. No less than 14 advanced countries have abolished their upper houses, many citing the unelected aspect. (Canada has numerous examples of unelected senators blocking legislation proposed by elected members of parliament.) But others noted the under-representation of minorities and women; the slow-moving process of legislation due to upper house scrutiny; and long or unlimited terms in office reminiscent of monarchism. The constant defence heard of those who sit in the senate is that of the “sober second thought.� This is a thinly veiled plea to meritocracy. Only that argument fails when one points to just how partisan the environment on Parliament Hill has become. It is time for all politicians to follow the NDP lead, and admit that filling an entire second level of government with their friends - in 21st century Canada - is profoundly undemocratic. Sober second thought follows the will of the people.
LETTERS
Amalgamation wouldn’t benefit McNab/Braeside residents To the editor: Firstly I would like to state I know neither Mr. Doug Smith nor Mr. Thomas Carbonneau personally and am aware of them only through their periodical letters to the editor section. I read Mr. Smith’s letter in the July 25, 2013 edition of the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide commenting on the ongoing issue between the recreational/library issues. As I read his letter I immediately began to think this was like a carnie barker, or a budding politician, when he started to tear down McNab-Braeside’s mayor and council, then proceeded to sell the big bright gem of joining with the mega town of Arnprior. Mr. Smith stated there were no agreements be-
tween our local municipalities on water, sewer, library or sports/recreational facilities. Since I live in McNab/Braeside I do not need a water or sewer agreement with Arnprior – I had to drill a well and install a septic system at my cost and at the present time both are doing fine as far as I know. My septic system maintenance is currently not as costly as Arnprior’s. Mr. Smith points out the substantial savings of five per cent or more on our rural taxes by doing away with council and staff, but I do believe Arnprior’s Mayor Reid and the staff are not volunteering their hours for free. I also read Mr. Charbonneau’s letter dated Aug. 1, 2013 and was not surprised when he
received a lot of negative feedback. In closing, if you want a taste of what amalgamation, annexation of Arnprior/McNabBraeside would be like, just take a drive into that portion of the City of Ottawa formerly known as West Carleton Township. You can talk to people who have lived most of their lives in the area and they will tell you in some cases their taxes doubled and their services stagnated or went down. Their tax dollars – instead of being beneficial to them – were redirected into the City of Ottawa to pay for the city’s existing sewage and road costs. They still rely on volunteer firefighters, and there are no OC Transpo buses running to the Arnprior lim-
its to pick up commuters travelling daily into the city for work. Are McNab-Braeside’s mayor and councilors perfect? No, but neither are Arnprior’s. My father-in-law always said when you point a finger at someone, there are three pointing back at yourself. Is there a solution? Definitely, but it would entail honest open communication between all involved parties. It is time to stop the political jockeying and display some leadership qualities because no one is impressed. Bruce Fraser McNab-Braeside
Recent survey reveals young parents are more likely to drive tired To the editor: A recent survey reveals a number of Ontario parents who are behind the wheel of their carefully packed car may inadvertently be putting their families at risk. Insurance Hunter’s Neglected Driver Survey reveals Ontario motorists have continued to drive when tired – leading some to nod off, swerve or worry about getting their family into an accident. The online study of 1,003 Ontario parents with children under the age of 12 who take family road trips, was hosted on the Angus Reid Forum. The survey reveals: * A significant number of men (30 per cent) have nodded off behind

the wheel (compared to 14 per cent of women). * Almost one-quarter of men (23 per cent) swerved because they were tired (11% of women). * Almost one-third of men (32 per cent) said they worried about getting their family into an accident because they were tired while driving (24 per cent of women). From June 19 to 22, an online survey was conducted among 1,003 randomly selected Canadian adults from Ontario with kids under 12, who are also Angus Reid Forum panel members.

To the Editor: The terms annexation and amalgamation have surfaced once again in regards to the ongoing discussions between Arnprior and McNab-Braeside. Four generations of my family lived in McNab Township until the early 1980’s, that is. At that time, despite much protest, our choice to remain residents of McNab was over
To the editor: This note of appreciation refers to Veterans Park on Frieday Street in Campbellbrooke Village in Arnprior. We would like to tell the Town how much we appreciate the care, attention and pride that is taken to keep our park so nice. Glenn Arthur, staff and employees deserve our sincere thanks. Residents and the kids have a great place to enjoy. It is interesting to see the numbers of families from other areas that use the park too. Again, many, many thanks to Glenn, staff and employees of the Town. ruled and the farm and our residence became portions of, and taxed by Arnprior.

Let’s nix the idea of annexation when talking about agreements the children’s story called “The City Mouse and The Country Mouse”. I suggest that the next time you visit the library, take time to read it. My hope is that this issue can be resolved in the best interests of both municipalities and certainly without annexation.

Pakenham Fall Fair set for Saturday Annual community event will celebrate the four seasons Kelly Kent kkent@perfprint.ca
Community – The Four Seasons is set to come to Pakenham No, it’s not a major hotel chain set to be built in the centre of the quaint little town, it’s the theme of this year’s Pakenham Fall Fair, set to take place Saturday, Aug. 17. This historic fair, which has been a part of late summer in Pakenham for several years, is back again this year for another round. “It’s really an old-time fair,� said Calvin Murphy, recreation coordinator for the Town of Mississippi Mills. “It’s been the same for a long, long time.� The fair will take place on the grounds at Stewart Park and will begin with a hot breakfast at 7 a.m., courtesy of the MacMillan’s Ladies Broomball team. The ladies will be cooking a feast of eggs, bacon, toast, beans and coffee for $6 per person. If that’s too early for you, though, there will be a barbecue ongoing throughout the afternoon with burgers and hot dogs cooked by the local firefighters. The official start of the fair is at noon, and longtime Pakenham residents Paul and Ria Ralph will be performing the opening ceremonies. “They have done so much and giv-
en so much for the community,� said Murphy. “We really want to thank them.� All of the fair’s staple activities will be featured again this year, of course: the beef and dairy and horse shows, petting zoo, exhibits and displays. However there are a few new, up and coming aspects of the fair to keep in mind, too. At 2:30 p.m. there will be a chili cook-off. Anyone and everyone can enter a pot of their best chili to pit against the recipes of friends and neighbours and to be judged by a panel of chili connoisseurs – forever ending the mystery of who has the greatest chili in Pakenham. Also new to the show this year is an amateur dog show, called the Man’s Best Friend Contest. The show is aimed at children under 14 years of age who want to bring their furry pal to be judged in a variety of categories like waggiest tail, longest hair, lookalike (which dog looks the most like their owner) and more. “We’re going to have a lot of activities for the kids to participate in as well,� said Murphy. He said that Linda Lowe Daycare will be organizing many of the games for the kids, which will include a moon bounce and a frog race
– a race where each child finds a real, live frog and races it against the other children’s frogs. “For the record,� said Murphy with a laugh, “all of the frogs are returned to their homes at the end of the race.� Five door prizes have been provided by local businesses in the area. The Pakenham branch of the Royal Bank donated $25 in loonies; 5-Span Feed & Seed donated a $100 gift card; Scoops provided a free tub of any flavour of ice cream; Wurth Canada Ltd. is offering a cleaning package worth $100; and the Pakenham Highlands Golf Club is giving away free golf for two with a cart. Admission to the fair is $3 for adults and free for children under 12. “We’re expecting another great year,� said Murphy. “The weather plays a huge factor but the fair is always really well supported.� The fair is mostly volunteer driven, said Murphy, and they are always looking for more helping hands. Anyone interested in being a part of this iconic Pakenham event can call 613-256-1077.

“It’s a $34-billion contribution to the GDP of the province,” said Wynne of the agriculture industry. “Today, I’ve (already) talked to people who have identified two areas where we can grow, with maple syrup and hemp. And then here (at FEPRO) there’s the whole issue of biodigestion and creating energy to make farms energy self-sufficient.” As one of FEPRO Farm’s owners, Paul Klaesi said the tour was a chance to display some of the high-tech aspects of their farm and tell the premier that the ground rules for operating biodigestion systems need fixing. “We hope capital is not that important anymore, but rather production (from biodigestion),” said Klaesi. “We want to see fewer restrictions and easier connection to the grid, and a price for power that makes it worthwhile for the farmer to build the system.” There’s also room for more improvement regarding milk imports, Wynne heard from Osceola farmer Don Russell, who a few years ago was named, along with wife Joanne, the outstanding young farmers of Canada. What’s not outstanding is the amount of imported milk reaching Ontario, Russell told the premier. Russell said he’s concerned about the rising amounts of imported milk as well as the lack of quality-control measures, especially since quality controls are higher for Ontario milk farmers. “We don’t mind putting (those quality controls) into place, but when they’re importing this product into Canada, consumers don’t know what they’re buying. And imports

have been drastically increasing. In 1988 there were 100,000 kilograms of milk coming into Ontario; now there’s 396 million (per year).” Wynne said that was one of the key messages she heard at the roundtable. “Every time I have these conversations, I hear about an area where there’s more work to be done, for example, the whole issue around importing of milk,” said Wynne. “We have a supply-management system in Ontario. There’s a real concern about importing milk into the province, and I need to get a better understanding of that with the federal minister of agriculture.” There were more than a dozen roundtable attendees, including Ontario Federation of Agriculture president Mark Wales of Elgin County as well as such Renfrew County residents as hemp producer Reuben Stone, maple syrup producer Ray Bonenberg, Ian McGregor of McGregor’s Produce, cattleman Gerald Rollins and Jennifer Doelman of Barclay Dick & Son Farm Supply. Doelman stressed the need to maintain the risk management and production insurance programs for farmers. Other roundtable opinions included the request for more research before making any potentially drastic decisions to deal with the collapse of bee colonization. The one-day tour may also have had something to do with results in Ontario’s five recent by-elections. Wynne acknowledged the Liberals have work to do, after winning two of the ridings, as two went to the New Democratic Party and one to the Conservatives. “I think the people have sent us a clear message, that they want more accountability, that they believe we made mistakes, and they want us to do better,” said Wynne. “And Ontarians have a right to expect better. When I came into this office as premier, I said I was going to open up government, that I was going to create opportunities for questions to be asked (and) answered, particularly about the gas-pipeline locations. I want to have the most open and transparent government in the country, and that’s what I’m working on. I think the by-elections confirmed that that’s the direction we need to go in.” One of several dozen agricultural representatives taking the day-long tour was Horton resident Bob Johnston, president of OFA’s Renfrew County chapter. Johnston remembers several agriculture ministers visiting the area over the years, but never the premier. “I think it was a good thing for the farming system in eastern Ontario. She touched different types of farming,” said Johnston. “Hopefully, this visit will do something for farmers of eastern Ontario and the rest of the province.” Following the premier’s visit, Paul Klaesi of FEPRO Farms expressed similar sentiments. “I think she was very willing to listen,” he said, “and I trust that we can see some results down the road in some shape or form.”

Prepare for an evening of laughter Comedy tour arriving in Arnprior Patricia Leboeuf pleboeuf@metroland.com
Community - If laughter is the best medicine then the upcoming “On the Rocks” comedy tour is the prescription. The tour, with Arnprior’s own Nigel Grinstead as host, will stop at the Nick Smith Centre on Aug. 16 for an evening of laughter. The burgeoning comedian is excited to bring the show to his home town. “It’s a bunch of good guys that I’ve been hanging around with for a while,” said Grinstead. “We got together and they were thinking of just doing small towns, just getting on the road on and testing ourselves out. “We wanted to kind of bring the live vibe to small towns that don’t get the exposure to that,” he added. Most small towns don’t typically have a strong comedy scene so this tour will allow for Arnprior residents to bust a gut close to home, said Grinstead. The show will showcase a plethora of jokes with Monty Scott as the evening’s headliner, followed by comedians Josh Elijah and Ben Beauchemin. “I’ve seen all these guys before,” said Grinstead. “They are all really live and electric presence on stage. “It’s going to be a good show,” he added. “These guys are a lot of fun. Especially if we have people to work off of, it’s going to be aces.” Grinstead has preformed a few times in his home town and
has found that it is 75-25 per cent in his favour. He’s hoping to slap on another win onto his roster. The 20-year-old first got a taste of the stage three or so years ago after testing his humor at different amateur open-mic nights in Ottawa. His hunger for humor may have only grown from there, but it has always been part of him. He used to be a self-proclaimed class clown with a “loud mouth.” He’s matured his style a bit since then. “I used to do a little more absurd and abstract (jokes), but now it’s a lot of life experience stuff and observational humor,” said Grinstead. “Just what’s been going on lately or what’s been on my mind lately, nothing too progressive or life changing. I don’t preach.” His creation process isn’t strictly regulated. He often finds himself inspired the most when he let’s his mind wander. “I wish I had a whiteboard in the shower,” he admits. “That’s where the magic happens. It’s the time when I think of good ideas.” He currently lives in Toronto where he tests out his plethora of joke on giddy crowds. At the moment, he still has a day job, but he hopes to make it as a professional. He realizes and acknowledges the difficulties it will take to accomplish his dream. “I am willing to couch surf,” he said. “I am willing to eat dry cereal and spaghetti with no sauce.” Those sacrifices will be worth it if he can make a living off his craft, he said. The tour begins in Toronto and ends in Arnprior. The show will be held at the Nick Smith Centre and begins at 9 p.m. The cost to attend is $10 and the event is sponsored by Blu Energy Drink.

Student seeks youth summit input John Carter John.carter@metroland.com
News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Arnprior District High School student Oliver Jacob Gardiner is asking local students to share their ideas with him in the lead-up to Renfrew County youth forum to be held early next year. Gardiner can take the opinions of local students directly to the provincial government, as he is a member of the provincial Minister of Educationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Student Advisory Council (MSAC).
He is asking students and parents to fill out a survey to help set the agenda for the youth summit the Renfrew County Youth Group is going to be hosting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From my experience, I have come to realize that not only one perspective needs to be heard and that everybody has a different point of view to bring to the table,â&#x20AC;? explained Gardiner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is why I am opening up this running discussion on your ideas about how the system can be bettered.
He asks students and parent to post any ideas and/or concerns to the online survey, but asks they be â&#x20AC;&#x153;clean, schoolappropriate and positive.â&#x20AC;? All feedback will be reviewed and studied, he promises. The survey link is http:// www.surveymonkey.com/s/ NGMLJQN. Gardiner also welcomes questions, comments, concerns or ideas that can be emailed to him at msac_rcdsb5@hotmail. com, by calling 613-623-4796 or by contacting him on Facebook or Twitter.
Run for Military Family ends, donations continue News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Commissionaires Ottawa is not holding its twoday run up the Valley through Arnprior and McNab- Braeside any longer, but members are still digging deep to support local military families It was six years ago, in 2008, when Commissionaires Ottawa, a private security company whose social mandate includes a focus on hiring military and RCMP veterans, began to donate annually to the Military Family Resource Centre in Ottawa and the Petawawa Military Family Re-
source Centre. Each centre will receive $10,000 this year to be channelled to its programs and services. In the past, Commissionaires Ottawa organized a 200kilometre Run For Military Families from Ottawa to Petawawa to raise awareness and funds for military families. The runners were met enthusiastically in Arnprior by Legion members and students. The annual event became so well-known and grew to such
an extent that after four years, with all of donations paid out to the military resource centres, it risked becoming a fulltime commitment. In 2012, Commissionaires Ottawa CEO Paul Guindon made the difficult decision to cancel the event. Instead, he decided Commissionaires Ottawa would continue to support the valuable work of the resource centres by donating money that would have otherwise paid for the logistics and expenses of organizing the Run For Military Families.

The Red Pine Bay is full of fishermen and their boats. Keeping these fish out of the water for more than 60 seconds can mean a painful death so the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organizers attempted to keep them in water at all times. Tom Hooper (left) and Scott Miller, of Renfrew, transfer the fish from the container to a bagful of water.
Many of the amateur fishermen have come from far away to see if they could catch the big one. Carl Liscumb (right) travelled from Chesterville, On. to see how much he could pul from the river. Emcee Paul Shibata probes him for some of the advice he learned from his pro.
Though they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t officially part of the competition, Liam, 3, and Makenna, 5, Craig enjoys watching the big fishies that were caugth. PATRICIA LEBOEUF/METROLAND

About 28 professional Renegade Bass fishermen took their amateur compatriots onto the Ottawa River off Red Pine Bay to show them the tricks of the trade. The live release competition lasted most of the morning, finishing up with a competition weigh-in on Aug. 10. The biggest bass of the day came out at 3.9 pounds. The happy winner Zack Mcphee, from Perth, pulls the fish out to show it off to emcee Paul Shibata.

There were many parts of an outfit that is obligatory to be a fashionable Victorian woman, namely the hoop, corset and the all important hat. Brenda Storie shows off her perfectly replicated outfit.
Taking a step back into more elegant times, the Waba Cottage Museum’s lawn in White Lake has been transformed into a tea parlour. Volunteers and employees dress the part and serve a bervy of tasty delights to a crowd of refined diners. The Victorian Tea on Aug. 10 encourages attendees to dress to the nines and enjoy the true genteel flavour of a proper afternoon tea.

Please Complete Your Survey Most of us are familiar with taking surveys. We complete them after using a service, after online shopping, and from all levels of the government. Survey responses allow for improvements, they flag issues, and prevent potential issues. Health care also administers surveys. Staff at Arnprior Regional Health are surveyed each year with the Physician and Employee Satisfaction Survey. Research demonstrates that happy staff provide better care, and patients who receive great care have shorter and better recovery times, so truly a win win situation for all. Arnprior Regional Health has been surveying patients who return home following a stay in the hospital and also those who registered in the emergency department. Two different surveys were developed and are mailed out to discharged patients (not everyone who was admitted would necessarily receive a survey). The emergency department survey asks patients the following types of questions: How long did you wait to see a doctor; what level of confidence/trust did you have in the emergency department nurse; were you treated with dignity and respect, and (if applicable) questions concerning pain management. Once a patient completes this survey they then mail it to the survey company. It is the survey company that compiles the results and then returns them to Arnprior Regional Health as a report. This report is discussed in the emergency department, at the medical advisory committee, at senior management, and at the Board of Directors. Arnprior Regional Health then has a clear picture of what is working well, what isn’t and where improvements are needed. Previous surveys flagged that patients in the emergence department had a longer length of stay due to waiting for test results. Now certain tests can be authorized by the triage nurse so that by the time the patient sees the doctor the test results are already available, thereby reducing the length of time spent in emergency. We encourage everyone who receives a survey to take 5 – 10 minutes to fill it out. Your feedback is valuable and continuously helps us improve. We are committed to providing exemplary care in all areas at Arnprior Regional Health. Comments, concerns or compliments, please call 613-623-7962 x293 18 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide EMC - Thursday, August 15, 2013

Pakenham Beef Club experience success at recent Almonte Fair Skylar More

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The 155th Almonte Fair was a blast for the Pakenham Beef Club because the weather was perfect with sunshine, a little wind and normal temperatures. The shows were also scheduled well because we normally had an hour break between them. The cows were very cooperative as a result. My cow was in the junior class because she was born in April of last year whereas Victoria Stoddartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cow was in the senior class being born in March of last year.
Victoria and I both got second place for our Shorthorn cows. Then in the showmanship class, Victoria received third place, I earned ďŹ fth place and Krista Simpson placed sixth. All in all, it was a good ďŹ rst showing for the year. The Pakenham Beef Club also recently held a bake sale on July 25 at the Almonte Hospital cafeteria to help fundraise for our achievement day at the Pakenham Fall Fair on Aug. 17.

Swampfest coming in late August Patricia Leboeuf pleboeuf@metroland.com
R0012166973-0620
Community - The swamp may have long since dried off, but the fourth annual Kinburn Swampfest is dripping with life. The three day festival is held on Aug. 23 to 25 at the Kinburn Community Centre and showcases some of the region’s most compelling entertainment as well as free activities and tasty treats. “I’ve yet to meet somebody in the past that said it wasn’t a good show,” said chairman of the organization committee Jim Armstrong. “We have a good venue, a good facility, a top quality facility,” he added. “You can come spend the day or you can come and catch a particular performer.” All the profits from the festival go directly to the Kinburn Community Association. “To a large extent, it’s a way of supporting your community association, programs that your kids and you benefit from like the rink in the winter time,” said Armstrong. “It’s a chance to support them and still get something out in terms of a weekend full of entertainment. It’s a pretty good deal, a pretty good tradeoff for me.” New this year is rough camping. The space is limited to 30 or 40 spots, the facilities are non-existent and it cost $40 for the entire weekend. It gives people an opportunity to set
ry’s Magic Show. On the music front, the Grommets, Kyle Felhaver and Becky Reid, Jeanika Benoit, Bryan Snyder, Andy Bowes, Brad Scott, the Ottawa Valley Express, the Lockhart Station and Eve’s Daughter create a musically charged lineup. “It’s mostly country,” said Armstrong. “It moves through from classic country to country-rock. “Country, it sells around here,” he added. The next day gives festivalgoers the chance to wind down and recover from late night activities with a firefighter breakfast with the Von Barr Family as backdrop. Historical displays and vendors will be also be on location for attendees to peruse. Swampfest was created four years ago to celebrate Kinburn’s 180th anniversary. It was originally intended to be a onetime party, but was so popular that organizers decided to make it an annual thing. “A bunch of us thought that there would be room for an annual event so it stayed,” said Armstrong. “There is room for people to come out and have a break in the summer and take a weekend off,” he added. The festival name is a nod to the village’s first business: the Swamp Tavern. For more information, please visit kinburn.ca/swampfest. To reserve camp spot, please email swampfest@kinburn.ca.
up a home base for the family in which to spend the entire weekend. “We are not looking for a crowd,” said Armstrong. “We are just trying to open it up for people who do want to come. Because there are some people who don’t want to come unless they can bring their RV.” Friday launches the festival with an evening free family corn roast with the complimentary entertainment of Kontrast and Steve and Stephanie Stacey. Teenagers will be able to enjoy the teen dance put on by Ottawa’s Youth Connexion. For $7, 10 to 15 year olds will have a safe haven to boogie for a couple hours. “A family can come out, have dinner,” said Armstrong. “The teens can go to the dance and the parents can stay and be there when they are done.” Saturday picks up with a load of activities. “We have activities for kids, we have stuff that everybody wants to watch and we have the core which is the music,” said Armstrong. “This year we have more free activities,” he added. “If people don’t want to pay to get in and catch the music, they can watch the dog agility demonstration for nothing. The Ottawa Valley Canoe and Kayak are putting on kayak riding demonstration on the Carp River for a donation.” Regional entertainment will light up the stage, starting at 2 p.m. with the Philip and Hen-

Making Canada Stronger
Arnprior packers are gearing up for another exciting season on the ice Sports – Summer may still be in full swing, but the Arnprior Packers are eagerly gearing up for an exciting 2013-14 Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League (EOJHL) season. The coaching staff has been running onice sessions all summer long to look at the future prospects of the team. “It is not just about loading up for the season in this league, it is about continuously building for the future while icing a strong competitive team year in, year out,” said Packers general manager Brent Gould. “We hope the on-ice product we produce will be as well as the image we are trying to create with our community involvement will create a strong Packers fan base moving forward.” Most recently, the Packers held a free agent camp this past weekend to get a look at some of the out of town talent. The main hockey camp will begin Sunday, Aug. 18 at the Nick Smith Centre. Registration begins at 6:30 p.m. and the camp begins at 7:30 p.m. The future is beginning to look strong
for the club as they have a good group of young local players who are either ready to step into prominent roles this season or about a year away. The club has brought in a few veterans who will bring leadership and help the younger group along. The EOJHL regular season will get underway Saturday, Sept. 14 when the packers host the Metro/Valley Showcase which will consist of five inter-division games beginning at 9:30 a.m. at the Nick Smith Centre. The Packers will finish the day off

when they host the rival Gatineau Mustangs at 7:30 p.m. The club has also been working hard in the world of social media with a new website taking form as well as the consistently updated Twitter and Facebook pages. “Everyone is involved on Facebook and Twitter, especially the younger generation and this has allowed us to reach out to a broader audience as well as help promote the club,” said direction of business operations Sean Marcellus. For up to date Packers, including videos, pictures and game updates visit both the team Twitter account at @PriorPackersJrb and Facebook page at facebook.com/arnpriorpackers.

www.cherylgallant.com Report from Parliament Parliament has recessed for the summer, and as is customary for this season, I have been conducting constituency clinics in the less central areas of the riding. This summer, as I meet with people in Griffith, Whitney, Palmer Rapids, Quadeville, Braeside, Horton, Stonecliffe, Wilno, and Matawatchan, the common theme I hear from residents is the question of when they will get cell coverage and faster internet. Federal MPs in Eastern Ontario were successful in securing $60M for the region to fill the broadband gap. Once again the members of BRAVO Task Force I struck in January of 2007 are to be commended for their role in making this happen. Two years ago one of the major issues was the conversion of the CBC from analog to digital. The CBC chose to continue the free broadcast for certain urban areas, leaving rural viewers to acquire cable or satellite service. The reason behind the change was to free up a portion of the radio wave spectrum for cell phones, internet, data, and other wireless communications. The entire issue of access to wireless service is now front and centre nationally, as the time for wireless companies to submit bids for the wireless spectrum auction draws near. Our Conservative Government intends to keep the interests of the consumer foremost in mind. Access, speed and affordability are what the public demands. That means competition is a requirement. Right now the air waves are mainly owned by Rogers, Bell and Telus, the “Big 3”. In order to encourage more providers to enter the marketplace our Government has set rules to limit the blocks of spectrum the Big 3 can bid on in the upcoming auction. The auction includes the high quality 700 MHz frequency band formerly used by analog TV signals, which is better for rural areas, because the signal reaches farther, and needs fewer towers to provide coverage. In addition to Wind, Mobilicity & Public Mobile, whose entrance into Canada’s wireless market forced the BIG 3 to finally end the hated System Access Fee, another company which previously serviced parts of our country, Verizon, may join in the competition. This has the incumbents fuming in the newspapers, on the radio, in newscasts over satellite, cable and internet claiming the Government is being unfair for allowing an American company into the game. They are also saying Verizon’s entrance will threaten current plans for expanding coverage to rural areas. The Big 3 have a dominating place in Canada’s telecommunications market, owning TV, radio stations, and newspapers in addition to cable and cell phone services. That’s right, if you are fortunate enough to have cell phone coverage where you are, one of the Big 3 companies may also own a piece of the newspaper you read, TV channels you watch, and the radio you listen to. If you do not have high speed internet, part of the reason may be that one of the Big 3 owns the spectrum for it, has no intentions to use it, but keeps it so that no one else can have it, such as small local companies who would provide you coverage if they had access to it. Now let us address the newly found concern the Big 3 have for rural residents. They claim service for rural residents will be threatened if more competition is allowed in. For years urban phone customers were billed an extra fee to pay for telecommunications infrastructure in outlying areas. It was called the “deferral” account. We still have homeowners two hours outside our nation’s capital who do not have basic phone service. These people wrote cheques to help cover the costs of getting lines out to their farms. The cheques were returned to the people. Extra phone features were provided to customers along the Highway 401 corridor. Over the second part of the summer I look forward to hearing from you on this topic and on others of importance to you.

Monthly Column by
John YAKABUSKI MPP
www.johnyakabuski.com I was more than a little shocked on July 19th when I received notification from the Ministry of Natural Resources that Ontario would be proceeding with an Amendment to the Algonquin Provincial Management Plan. This Amendment would result in a further 96,089 hectares being added to protection zones. Translated this means that this area would no longer be available to harvest timber. My initial understanding and incorrectly, I might add, was that myself and stakeholders would have the opportunity to comment on this plan. I even indicated this, based on my misunderstanding at a meeting with the Renfrew County Landowners a week later. I was subsequently informed that the notice I received, meant the Ministry would be going ahead with the implementation of the Plan and no further comments would be considered. This issue had been off the radar screen for some time and it had been my hope that the Liberal Government had listened to the input of stakeholders including me as the MPP, the County of Renfrew and the Ontario Forest Industry Association. I have maintained from the start that the changes proposed, in the Government’s “Lightening the Ecological Footprint of Logging in Algonquin Park” were unnecessary. It is my belief that they were based not on real science but on political science. LET’S BE CLEAR - the harvest of timber from Algonquin Park has not only, not been detrimental to the park, it has been beneficial. Consider the number of forest fires that have not happened because dead decaying trees, a natural fuel for forest fires, had been harvested before they reached that state. When forest fires have occurred the access created by logging roads has made it much easier to fight them. I call logging slow motion farming. Trees are harvested and re-grown, maintaining optimal ecological health in our forests. Like any plant, each species has a natural life span. Trees are no different. Managing the forest ensures that harvesting takes place at the right time. The managing of the forest in Algonquin Park has been done in a first class, world recognized fashion for decades. It’s a model that our local operators can be extremely proud of. The balance incorporated in the plan has worked. The reason, the liberals are proceeding with changes is plain and simple. They are reacting to pressure from anti-logging environmental groups. People who understand nothing about the orderly harvest of forests and the benefits accrued by all. A benefit that cannot be overlooked is the economic impact that logging has on our communities. A significant portion of the families in Renfrew County depend on forestry for a living. Reducing the area of Algonquin Park available for harvest is a threat to their livelihood. It should be pointed out that harvesting operations in Algonquin Park never exceed 2% of the area at any time. Opponents to logging would have you believe that cutting operations in the park are decimating the forests - nothing could be further from the truth. My biggest fear is that this decision by the government could be the thin edge of the wedge. Now that the environmental lobbyists have succeeded in having the available area reduced, they will aim for their ultimate goal. Make no mistake folks, that goal is an outright, total ban on logging in Algonquin Park. Should they ever achieve this, it would spell disaster for our environmentally sustainable way of life here in RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke. We can never allow this to happen. This decision and others like it such as the ill considered and disastrous endangered species act indicate over and over again that this government doesn’t understand rural Ontario and the people who live here. While the liberals continually say things to try to convince us otherwise, it brings me to that age old adage “Actions speak louder than words.” How True! 0815.R0042067653 26 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide EMC - Thursday, August 15, 2013

Quyon hosts event for injured captain The entire community gathers behind Harold McKenny Patricia Leboeuf pleboeuf@metroland.com
News - Tragedies have a way of either getting communities together or driving them apart and Quyon proved to be no exception. When veteran Quyon Ferry captain Harold McKenny lost his arm in a gruesome accident last month, the entire village rallied behind him, supporting the 34-year-old and his young family in ways that he could have never imagined. “There’ve been lots of people who have dropped off food and flowers and cards,” he said. “Just calling or sending emails.” McKenny is a beloved member of the community, touching everybody with his great smile and friendly personality. Described as an “all around good guy,” there was no hesitation from people to step up and help him out. His colleagues have organized a benefit party on Aug. 23 at 8 p.m. at Quyon’s Lions Hall. The ferry will even offer free pedestrian voyages across the river after 8 p.m. “It’s only a minute walk from the ferry docks to the Lions Hall,” said Don McColgan, ferry owner and McKenny’s uncle. “They can leave their cars on the Ontario side and walk over. We won’t charge them.” McKenny admits that there will be some mixed emotions when he attends the event. He doesn’t remember much about the July 11 accident. “It just happened so fast,” he said. “I don’t even remember my arm actually coming off. I remember wanting to scratch my ear and not having an arm. I don’t remember the rope cutting it.” His uncle, however, will never forget that moment. McKenny and his crew were moving the fleet’s newest vessel and he reached down to undo loosen the guide rope when tragedy struck. “We heard a sort of noise or a bam and looked over,” said McColgan, his voice filled with emotion. “And he wasn’t really doing anything at that stage that’s why I thought everything was fine. It looked as if his arm was short, but you know from a distance you think your eyes are playing tricks

Quyon Ferry captain Harold McKenny is known around town for his wonderful personality, contagious smile and dedicated work ethic. on you. It looked as if he went to reach for something and he realized his arm wasn’t there. Then he screamed.” It was a nylon rope that severed his arm. “We use (steel) cables to pull ferries out of the water in the fall and so on,” McColgan said. “Everybody stands clear because of the steel cables and you’re afraid it might snap, but you never expect a nylon rope to do something like this.” The accident was so unusual that Transport Canada sent three investigators to examine the cause and probability. They were shocked that such a freak incident could occur, but uncovered that the rope’s tension was ultimately too much. So when McKenny unraveled the knot, the rest of the heavy coil was rocketed onto his arm, ripping off the limb below the elbow. He started losing blood very fast so a couple guys on scene put a belt around the wound. They rushed him up to Shawville in their truck, meeting the ambulance on the way. Their quick thinking probably saved his life, admitted McColgan. He was transferred to Hôpital NotreDame in Montreal, in the hopes that the doctors would be able to reattach his limb. Instead they spent 10 hours repairing what was left of his arm.
The wait for the surgery was relatively long, but all things considered it went pretty well, said McKenny. “It went pretty good I guess,” he said. “I don’t remember it. They put me out.” He returned home to daughters, 5 and 3 year old, and his loving wife, glad that he could see them once more. He remains in a reasonable good mood, keeping a pragmatic view of things. “I’m just taking it one day at a time,” said McKenny. “It was an accident and life has to go on. “I’m glad to still be here,” he added. His arm is in the process of healing so doctors have not given him a timeline yet, but he is quite anxious to return to work. Something McColgan is glad to hear. His nephew has been part of the fleet for decades. “He started as a kid down there, working as a deck hand,” he said. “Then he became a driver at age 20 and has been driving for the last 14 years, really good worker.” “You always hear about these workplace accidents so place else,” he added. “You never think its going to happen at your spot. In a flash, it can change a guy’s life.” For more information or to learn how to help the McKenny family, please visit www. benefitforharold.ca.

Premier shucks corn with area farmers Hemp, maple syrup show promise: Wynne Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com
News – Premier Kathleen Wynne at a West Carleton farm last week shared some of the specific opportunities and challenges facing rural Ontario. After attending a round table discussion in the Upper Ottawa Valley, Wynne stopped at Panmure Farms to learn how Hudson’s Farm produces corn and other vegetables. She then spoke to a few dozen folks on hand enjoying an outdoor luncheon. Wynne is Ontario’s first female premier, first openly gay leader, and the first premier in a number of decades to also take on the agriculture-and-food portfolio. It was while wearing the last hat that the Liberal Wynne, on the job for just a few months now, launched into a speech touching on unity. “There is not ‘many Ontarians’ as some people like to say. That may be true in terms of various needs and issues,” Wynne said. “But at the end of the day we need each other. There is no urban-rural divide.” For many years the Progressive Conservatives have counted on rural and small town voters for support. Liberals and New Democrats have found their base largely in cities. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Wynne, leading a minority government supported by the NDP, would reach out to rural residents. She doesn’t openly pronounce it as politicking. She said agriculture is the second largest

tapped.” Her government committed $100 million to northern rural and small communities in the last budget. Some of that money could find its way into supporting those emerging sectors. However, as Brian Hudson awaited the premier’s arrival to his family’s sixth generation farm, he was less interested in where government can direct funds to grow farming then where government can scale back and let farmers do their work free from government intervention. “They have some good programs, like the risk management program,” Hudson said. “But sometimes I think it’s better if they just stay out of the market.” The risk management program shelters farmers from the whims of nature and the marketplace: last year’s drought was enough to bankrupt some if not for government money; others suffer low prices during years with higher-than-normal yields. Wynne defends the program as crucial. But she takes Hudson’s point. “It’s important for me to understand what’s needed. I believe in agriculture, and it’s in the best interests of all Ontarians to understand it,” she said. “We need to find that balance between protecting endangered species and the environment, and how we can get out of the way to let farmers do what they do best.” She said she realizes farmers have been fine stewards of the land for many generations. She admitted there are barriers in place on the government’s side, and that it isn’t always easy to find the right government person to deal with. “There are things we can do about that,” Wynne said.

Guess Who is coming to Carp Fair Earn Extra Money! Keep Your Weekends Free!

Patricia Leboeuf
pleboeuf@metroland.com
News - The 150th Carp Fair is fast approaching and such a big event deserves an equally big band, namely the Guess Who. Wrapping Sunday’s lineup, the band, sans superstars Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings, will be entertaining the crowd with a two-hour show. Gate admission is the only cost to attend, but space is limited. “If they want to see them I would say you need to be here early in the day,” said Carp Fair general manager Joyce Trafford. “Enjoy the day at the fair and make your way early to the arena to see them.” People will, however, be able to stand outside and listen in, she added. The Guess Who have been a big name in rock since they first began singing in the 60s, gaining recognition worldwide with such hits as “American Woman.” They broke up in 1975, but reunited in some shape or form several times over the years. Hype over the band’s arrival is growing. With news of the band playing in Carp, the fair committee has received numerable phone calls and emails abut the event, detailing the excitement people are feeling for the band’s upcoming visit. “The Guess Who have never preformed in this area,” said Trafford. “So I think it’s great that we were able to obtain them for the fair.” They will infuse new blood into the musical mix and make for a good fit. “We kind of started to exhaust our bands because we have had them for quite a few years and have started to recycle them,” said Trafford.
Opening for the Guess Who is Ottawa’s Silver Creek. “They are a local band,” said Trafford. “I think some of people that are in the band went to school at Holy Trinity. They are really local Kanata boys.” The musical style is overwhelmingly country, with some oldies rock. All bands are Canadian. LINE UP
On Sept. 26, Gail Gavin and the Ryan Brothers as well as Kyle Felhaver will be performing at the W. Erskine Johnston Arena. On Friday, singer-songwriter Jason Blaine and Country Music Association of Ontario songwriter of the year Deric Ruttan will wow country aficionados starting at 8 p.m. with advanced tickets at $35. Sept. 27 will have Marty Haggard and Auction Barn Jamboree Ban performing a free show in the afternoon. The evening will feature 2013 Juno nominated and Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) winner Kira Isabella with Aaron Pritchett. The tickets for Saturday are $30. On Sunday, Silver Creek will be opening for the Guess Who. On the ground and performing three times a day will be the President’s Choice Superdogs. These trained pooches will leap, dance and delight crowds of all ages. “If you have ever seen them anywhere else you definitely know they are a drawing card,” said Trafford. Admission cost is $5 for children ages 6 to 12 and $10 for anybody over the age of 13.Advanced tickets can be found at the Carp Fair Office or by calling 613-839-2172.

Fairly good fun Once again the Arnprior Fair opened to the acclaim of residents and visitors alike. Held on Aug. 8, 9, 10 and 11, the fair drew in hundreds upon hundreds of visitors excited for the yearly tradition. Demolition derbies, midway rides, horse penning, sugary treats, a beer tent and the musical talents of Tim Hicks, David Wilcox, DTP band, Rudy and Saddle Up and Carol Baker kept people coming back for more. Kathy Heffernan, of Merrickville On., gives no quarter as she chases down a blond calf for the team horse penning championship.
Before the Arnprior Fair opened on Thursday, people with special needs were invited to come in for a free morning to enjoy the rides, play the games and enjoy some time under the sunshine in a safe environment. Shannon Bagg dance around with her daughters Eve and Gail Bagg Mallen.

Fewer farmers Continued Page 27
Arguably a more difficult challenge to overcome then these specific issues is that of labour shortages. Of the eight or so young people surrounding her, all sporting Hudson’s Farm tee-shirts and working at Panmure Farms for the summer, only one is considering a career remotely close to farming. “We’ve got to figure it out. We still have to eat,” Wynne said, somewhat exasperated. They told her that buying a farm or even inheriting one has upfront costs that are too steep. Others say the 24-7 aspect of the job doesn’t appeal to them. Hudson is also worried that no one will be around to take over he and his brother Bruce’s business. They have 1,000 acres, grow a wide variety of produce in one of the soil-rich pockets of the world, and operate a hog farm of 200 sows they maintain from farrow to finish. Yet none of their many children has shown an abundance of enthusiasm. Hudson takes it in stride at the moment, sounding almost philosophic. “You either like it or you don’t. There’s not much you can do about it,” he said. “If you don’t like it, you won’t last long anyway.” Then there’s the temptation to sell farms to urban developers. That Panmure Farms is located within the City of Ottawa’s borders may come as a surprise to those in Wynne’s neck of the woods in Southern Ontario. But it didn’t take Mayor Jim Watson, also on hand to meet the premier, all that long tout the benefits of rural businesses and lifestyle to the national capital as a whole.
DEREK DUNN/METROLAND
Hudson’s Farm patriarch Graham Hudson, left, and Mayor Jim Watson listen to Premier Kathleen Wynne speak to the myth of the urban-rural divide. “Farming contributes $250 million to the Ottawa economy,” he said. “It’s big business and it’s an important business.” Watson, a former Liberal cabinet minister, was joined by another prominent area Liberal. Federal candidate Karen McCrimmon said Wynne was doing the right thing by visiting communities throughout the province. “Politicians need to get out among the peo-
ple more. It’s all about the people,” McCrimmon said. “I think what she says about growing the family farm is important. The locavore movement. Let’s eat closer to home.” West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry was out of town during Wynne’s visit. Wynne was invited by the non-partisan Ontario Federation of Agriculture – Arnprior chapter.
Brian Hudson shows Premier Kathleen Wynne how to work the levers on the mechanical corn shucker. Wynne agrees with Hudson that sometimes the best thing government can do is step aside and let the industry run itself.

Mother was in a fit state for Aunt Lizzie’s visit Lifestyle - Mother was in a state! Aunt Lizzie was on her way from Regina for her annual summer visit. As usual, she gave little notice. A letter had come just days before
she was to arrive. That gave little time for Mother to get the house in spic and span order. Father reminded her she had just torn the whole place upside down for the spring

cleaning! “That was months ago, Albert. And you know your sister. She can spot a fleck of dust a mile away.” Aunt Lizzie would be given the bed Audrey and I slept in, and that meant we would be sent down to the creton couch in the kitchen, where we would have to sleep foot-tofoot since the couch was so narrow. Heaven forbid that Aunt Lizzie would sleep on a feather mattress, which was what was on Audrey’s and my bed! The only felt mattress was on Mother and Father’s bed in the downstairs bedroom. That meant the brothers had to haul down the one from upstairs, and lug the other one upstairs, which didn’t please them a bit. After all, it was a Saturday, and they had planned on a day of fishing in the Bonnechere...not a day spent lugging mattresses up and down the stairs! But with Aunt Lizzie coming, every hand was put to use. That is, all except Father. He wanted no

part of what he considered unnecessary work. He escaped to the barns, telling Mother it was time he did something about that broken door in the cow byre. He would appear only for his meals until Mother’s frantic house cleaning was over! My sister and I also had to give up our little shared washstand in our bedroom. It had to be completely emptied, and washed inside and out. What a carry-on, just because Aunt Lizzie was coming from Regina! Getting the food ready was a challenge in itself. Even though Aunt Lizzie was born and bred on that homestead out in Northcote, you would never know she had ever breathed a breath of air from Renfrew County! There would be no salt pork for breakfast, and certainly pork hocks, and mud pout would never see the light of day all the time Aunt Lizzie’s visit lasted! So as soon as the house was cleaned from top to bottom, Mother set to
baking. The old Findlay Oval was fair jumping, as pie after pie, Johnny cake, and bread puddings were made and stacked in the ice box. A loaf of storebought bread, and a real pound of butter replaced what we ate every day of our lives on the farm. Mother, once again, asked Father to please refrain from cooling his tea in his saucer while his sister was here, but her request, I knew, would fall on deaf ears. As far as Father was concerned, he wasn’t about to change his habits just because Aunt Lizzie was coming with her high-fallootin airs! Even though Aunt Lizzie caused complete bedlam in our household before and during her visit, I loved when she came from Regina. She always brought me something special. One time it was a doll, which, except for its body, was made of china. Even its little arms and legs were China. I used to think she was the smartest thing to ever step off the train
in Renfrew Station. She always wore pure white... a white dress in the latest fashion....and a big wide red leghorn hat, and white gloves that went all the way up to her elbow. And on the outside of those spanking white gloves was a big red glass ring!! Tiny red patentleather shoes completed the outfit. I would marvel at the wealth of our Western cousins. Didn’t her two sons go to university? And didn’t she have a free pass to travel anywhere in the entire country by train. All because Uncle Jack worked for the CPR. And of course, it was Aunt Lizzie who once or twice a year packed a big wood tea box full of clothes no longer suitable for her sons, and send it off to Renfrew on the train. It was the handme-down box. Now, once again, Aunt Lizzie was coming to visit. Finally, the house was spotless. We were warned to take our shoes off at the door, not to touch the woodwork which had just been polished, and to make sure our bedrooms were kept spotlessly clean – a tall order for five rambunctious kids.
Aunt Lizzie was to arrive in three days. We couldn’t be more ready. Then the phone rang one morning, just after our breakfast. It was the stationmaster in Renfrew. There was a telegram from the West. Mother asked him to read it...no use going all the way into town for bad news, or good news, whatever the case may be. It was from Aunt Lizzie, and she was so sorry, but her trip had to be cancelled, because Uncle Jack was getting an unexpected award from the CPR, and it was on the very weekend she planned on leaving! They had been given a trip to Calgary. Her trip would have to wait until the next summer. Mother asked the stationmaster to read it again. After she hung up the phone, she let out the biggest sigh which I thought could be heard in Douglas! For supper that night Mother hauled out a pie from the ice box, we all had store-bought bread with real butter, we five kids sat at the table with our shoes on, and there sat Father with his tea in his saucer, cooling it off until it was fit to drink.

Shovels in the ground for new OPG building Steve Newman Steve.newman@metroland.com
in new construction. The sod-turning ceremony emcee was Nicole Laframboise, project manager for Wilson Investments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been almost a year in the making. There have been a few trials and tribulations, but we finally made it this far,â&#x20AC;? said Laframboise of this â&#x20AC;&#x153;important and significant job generator for Renfrew.â&#x20AC;? Job generation is what the project is all about, agreed MP Gallant, who thanked OPG â&#x20AC;&#x153;for having faith in our community and for helping to continue to grow our families far and wide. And thank you, Mr. Wilson, for taking on this huge project. We all appreciate it, and the government of Canada salutes you.â&#x20AC;? Wilson said it gave him â&#x20AC;&#x153;enormous pleasureâ&#x20AC;? to attend the ground-breaking ceremony. Speakers included MPP John Yakabuski, who called this â&#x20AC;&#x153;a huge new development that guarantees that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have a strong OPG presence here for decades to come. I want to thank Mack Wilson for taking the initiative for sitting down with the current tenants of the building and saying weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a future here, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just got to work together to bring it through to fruition.â&#x20AC;? In fact, Wilson now has a 20year lease with OPG for the property at 2 Innovation Drive, effective July 31, 2013.
Speaking for town council, Coun. Clint McWhirter said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mack Wilson has always been a high-quality builder with careful attention to every detail. We look forward to working with Wilson Investments for completion of this new project.â&#x20AC;? General contractor Tim Pruner, of M. Sullivan & Son Ltd., referred to OPG as one of its elite customers, and a status the company is proud of. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For over a dozen years, Sullivanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has worked in some capacity on every one of the hydro-electric stations in OPGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ottawa-St. Lawrence Plant Group along the Ottawa, Madawaska and St. Lawrence rivers,â&#x20AC;? said Pruner. Foote referred to 2 Innovation Drive as the cornerstone location for OPGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local plant group, since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already home for engineering, finance, health and safety, human resources, and other support functions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ceremony marks not only the construction of a new building,â&#x20AC;? he added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but it also commemorates OPGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to Renfrew for many more years, and highlights the unique role that OPG and other industries play in ensuring that this community continues to strive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not the easiest people in the world to work with, when it comes to crossing the Tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and dotting the Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, but we get there.â&#x20AC;?

News - Ontario Power Generation considered other locations for its Ottawa-St. Lawrence plant group, but in the end the corporation stayed in town. OPG is not only staying, but a sod-turning ceremony July 31 kicked off the construction of the new 20,000 square-foot facility, which will be a big step up from its current Renfrew home of about 6,000 square feet. Construction and site servicing will cost about $6 million. Mack Wilson of Wilson Investments is the developer for the project, which will keep about 62 jobs in Renfrew and perhaps increase the number of local OPG employees to 67. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to me, firstly, because of the jobs that are going to remain in Renfrew,â&#x20AC;? said Wilson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so pleased to keep them here in Renfrew.â&#x20AC;? Gerry Foote, for OPGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ottawa-St. Lawrence Plant Group, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did look at Arnprior and the area around Renfrew, but at the end of the day this is where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re established now, and this is where we wanted to stay.â&#x20AC;? With the new and larger building, many functions previously held elsewhere can now be housed in Renfrew, following scheduled completion of the OPG building in May 2014.
Wilson joined MP Cheryl Gallant, MPP John Yakabuski, Renfrew planner Ivan Burton, M. Sullivan & Son project lead Melissa Good, and Foote for the ceremonial sod-turning. They donned hard hats to wield golden shovels at 2 Innovation Drive, in front of OPGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Renfrew office of the Ottawa-St. Lawrence Plant Group. About 50 people were on hand, including OPG employees, local town council, and other project participants, like principal architect Alex Leung of grc architects in Ottawa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a facility that is very much user-friendly,â&#x20AC;? said Leung. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has a lot of the amenities and space that caters to the growth of OPG. The building also has a sensitive but contemporary quality, which promotes the mission of OPG. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of history behind OPG and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for them to have a new identity â&#x20AC;Ś and I think the new building will sell and promote that quality.â&#x20AC;? OPGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current Renfrew building, said Leung, has been adapted so many times that it has outgrown itself. The OPG component of that building will be torn down, while the remainder will become rental space. That will leave another 10 or so acres on a 15-acre package of land where Wilson hopes to attract â&#x20AC;&#x153;good commercial identitiesâ&#x20AC;? that create another $10- to $15-million

Ongoing consultation efforts and next steps Robert Potts Principal Negotiator and Senior Legal Counsel for the Algonquins of Ontario
Community - Nearly 250 years ago, the Algonquins of Ontario (AOO) embarked on a journey of survival, rebuilding and self-sufficiency â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a journey of reconciliation. In search of a fair and equitable settlement of their outstanding claims, the AOO have remained united in our commitment to reach out and build relationships with our neighbours. On Dec. 13, 2012 the negotiators for the AOO, Canada and Ontario took an unprecedented step in treaty negotiations with the release of the Preliminary Draft Agreement-in-Princi-
ple (AIP) for public review. It was determined that engagement in a wide range of consultation activities was essential in order to obtain feedback from Algonquin Voters, stakeholder groups, elected officials and the general public. Such efforts include: â&#x20AC;˘ A series of nine public information sessions hosted by the three negotiating parties which were attended by more than 2,000 people â&#x20AC;˘ Dozens of community meetings organized by the AOO for Algonquin Voters â&#x20AC;˘ Three forums hosted by the AOO for elected officials throughout the Settlement Area, including Members of Parliament, Members of the Provincial Parliament and municipal
representatives â&#x20AC;˘ Over 125 meetings organized by Ontario with those who hold legal interests on Crown lands proposed for transfer or require access across those lands â&#x20AC;˘ Meetings to deal with questions or concerns raised

by interested parties including cottage and property owner associations, municipal councils, adjacent landowners, ratepayers and others â&#x20AC;˘ Meetings with neighbouring Aboriginal groups â&#x20AC;˘ The publishing of the
parties. These changes will be reflected in the Draft AIP. Once a Draft AIP is reached, it is critical that the document is forwarded for ratification by the Algonquin Voters. The text of the Draft AIP will be publicly available at least 60 days prior to the date of the ratification vote. Should the Algonquinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; vote be in favour of the Draft AIP and the governments concur, it will serve as a non-binding framework for the negotiation of a Final Agreement. These negotiations could take up to four to five years. Ongoing consultation will continue to be integral to the negotiation process and it will take many different forms as we work towards reaching a settlement of this outstanding claim. Throughout the negotiation process, the AOO have demonstrated continuously our willingness to work in partnership with our neighbours to reach a Final Agreement that is respectful and mutually beneficial. As we move forward in this historic endeavor, together we will strengthen the social, economic and political fabric of Eastern Ontario for generations to come. This column is the eighth and final in a series providing insights into Algonquin history, the foundation for the land claim, elements of the Preliminary Draft AIP and next steps in the journey.

This beautiful girl is Brie, she has been at the shelter for two years waiting for her special family to adopt her. Brie is a friendly, quiet cat, she is not fond of other cats so she must live in a cage. She is affectionate, likes attention, she would do best in a quiet home where she could be the only pet. Do you have room in your heart and home for this pretty girl??

Community - Independent Child and Youth Counselling (ICYC) located at 3775 Carp Road, Carp is offering two eight-week group sessions for youth boys aged 8-11 and 12 14 years old. These eight-week sessions are fee-based and will be held on a rural West Ottawa horse ranch located in Fitzroy Harbour (25 minutes from Kanata). The focus of the weekly groups is based on social and life skills related to issues and challenge that youth boys struggle with. This group could change your boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space lays our freedom and power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom,â&#x20AC;? said Victor Frankl The facilitator of this group is Julie Clarke, a qualiďŹ ed Child and Youth Care Practitioner, co-facilitator Lisa Klabouch, Early Childhood Educator. Starting Sept. 12, through to Oct. 30, youth boys aged 8-14 years can attend one of two eight week sessions at the West Ottawa farm. There is a low participant-to-helper ratio in order to enhance the important therapeutic work a group setting offers. Topics discussed include family, bullying, respect, acceptance, feelings and self-esteem; the intention of the group is to assist participantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in better understanding self-regulation and awareness of emotions and feelings and how they drive our reaction (response) in certain situations. This is the freedom, power and choice referred to in Franklâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quote. Pre-selected male professionals are also in-

IN MEMORIAM ADAMS, JANET LEE In loving memory of our mother Janet Lee Adams who passed away August 16, 2004.
August 16 Love your family CLR459287
The family of the late JOHN Ernest Charles Elliott, wishes to express our gratitude to ALL our friends and relatives during Dads illness and passing. John fell ill in November and passed January 25th. It was a very turbulent time for us and the support we received from friends and family was overwhelmingly positive. The medical team led by Dr. Strader was top notch and extremely compassionate. Dr. Strader navigated us through this difficult time and we truly wouldn’t have managed without his kind guidance. For nurses everywhere and particularly those that dealt with pops, your job is difficult and yet you managed to keep dad comfortable and tended to. John entered HOSPICE RENFREW on January 2nd and he thought he was in a 5 star hotel. Everything from the care, to the building and grounds, to the lovely volunteers made this experience bearable and very personal. Dad felt the love of his family supported by all his friends who called, brought food or visited with a smile. We are extremely proud that our hardworking, good father was able to be treated with the dignity he deserved. Every time we returned to home base there were phone messages from around the world offering support, food left for us and the driveway clear from snow. We can not express enough gratitude to all as it gave us the opportunity to spend every moment with dad and precious memories were made not worrying about day to day life. When John passed it ended a chapter in the Elliott book, and took the wind out of our sails. It was the love of our community that made it possible for us to continue. You all are so kind. Your expressions of flowers, food, donations to Hospice Renfrew and the Diabetes Association, prayers, hugs and masses was an overwhelming response and was a great comfort in those dark days. Father Ryan Holly of Fatima Church gave Dad a beautiful funeral service, supporting our family in faith from HOSPICE forward. We truly need his guidance and he was ALWAYS available. Goulet’s Funeral Home prepared pops for his final journey and did so with class, grace and professionalism. Thank-You to Pat Maloney and choir, the pallbearers: Len and Bob Chamberlain, Wes Vanderpleog, Dave Tong, Michael John Rice, and Brennan Trainor, and the lovely “Lunch” ladies. Dad worked hard in this life and to see all friends/ relatives be so kind….well, he was so blessed to have had you in his life. He commented that he was lucky. I believe you reap what you sew. So from Dad to You “GOD BLESS and THANK YOU ALL!” Lovingly remembered and deeply missed, Anne, Jodi, Peter, Mary Leigh, Maeve, Charlotte and “Little” John.

Just your hand to hold Your patient face to see To hear your voice to see your smile As in the days that used to be. Time may heal a broken heart But it can never ďŹ ll the longing of a loved one gone before. There is no parting from the one I love no distance can divide For always in memories garden you are present by my side. A light is from my lonely home a voice I love is stilled A place is vacant in his chair that no one else can ďŹ ll Each lonely night I wake up crying wishing you are here To hold me tightly in your arms and wipe away my tears. A million tears will not bring you home I know because I cried And never will a million words I know because I tried your resting place I visit Put ďŹ&#x201A;owers there with care, but no one knows the heartache when I turn and leave you there. I miss you & ďŹ shing & hunting.
