Horsin’ around at the Arnprior Fair

Director of special needs for the Arnprior Fair Nick Lueders joins Autumn McIntyre of Cedar Ridge Ranch in the miniature horse hitch Sunday afternoon at the Arnprior Fair. Sunday, normally a relatively quiet day at the fair, was abuzz with activity as heavy rains Saturday’s made that day a washout, cancelling the heavy horse show and delaying the main demolition derby until some time in September or early October. For more on the fair, see pages 26, 27 and 28.

After a week of bad news that saw Arnprior residents do without water for a couple of days, followed by a dousing overnight Friday and into Saturday that caused major problems for the Arnprior Fair, the town could have done with some good news. REGION REGION And it got it. Arnprior Aerospace found out that it has won two major contracts from the Boeing Corporation to provide parts for a much-heralded new commercial aircraft.

Arnprior survives two days without water John Carter

John.carter@metroland.com

Arnprior residents experienced firsthand what it’s like to live without usable water for two days last week. Potential contamination of the town’s water system prompted the Renfrew County and District Health Unit to issue a drinking water advisory on the morning

of Wednesday, Aug. 10. It lasted until Thursday afternoon for 60 per cent of the town and until Friday at 1:30 p.m. for the other 40 per cent of the homes and businesses. The exact cause of the problem has yet to be announced, but it wasn’t, as widely thought, related to downtown revitalization construction. Instead it appears to be related to con-

struction in the Havey Street area. That work was contracted out to Greenbelt Construction Company, not Thomas Cavanagh Construction, which is doing the downtown work. People in the Havey Street area reported losing water Tuesday, a day before the ban was instituted. See TOWN Page 2

Neighbours helping neighbours get Arnprior through water crisis John Carter

john.carter@metroland.com

Four area golf courses, a campground in Horton and the Town of Renfrew were among the good neighbours offering water and facilities for beleagured Arnprior residents last week during the water ban. As well, Arnprior residents and businesses pulled together to help each other weather the lack of useable water in town on the hottest two days of the year. Residents report having neighbours dropping off bottled water and the town has offered to deliver water to anyone unable to pick it up at the Nick Smith Centre. Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home is also

delivering water to seniors who are having trouble making it to the distribution centre. The Town of Renfrew made an open offer to Arnprior residents to use Renfrew’s Mate-way Activity Centre or Recreation Centre for shower facilities or water fills. The Mountain Creek Golf Club on White Lake Road has used social media to announce that any Arnprior residents who need water during the water advisory could stop in and fill containers at its taps. The Pakenham and Calabogie Highlands golf clubs also offered water to anyone in Arnprior who needed it. The two restaurants at the Highlands golf clubs offered a 20 per cent discount on their menu items for any Arnprior residents having unexpectedly

to take their families out to eat. The Sand Point Golf Course has opened its showers to members and staffed its Greenside Tavern in the anticipation of extra customers for breakfast, lunch and dinner with so many Arnprior restaurants temporarily closed. During the water advisory, the KOA campground in Horton offered two free nights stay to anyone from Arnprior who has a camper or tent. The KOA also announced that “our Arnprior neighbours” were welcome to use their showers at the campground. Meanwhile, in Arnprior, Milano Pizza opened Thursday thanks to a supply of bottled waters and help from MacPherson Plumbing and Heating, which shut off the restaurant’s water supply. MacDonald’s

restaurant also received the health unit’s blessing to reopen, using an alternate source of water, but with canned drinks and no coffee, tea, iced drinks or fountain pop. As well as the town supplying water, the three major grocery stores in Arnprior made arrangements Thursday to ensure they were fully stocked. Arnprior Metro staff travelled to an Ottawa store to process sandwiches, fresh fruit and some meat for the Arnprior store. However, the Arnprior Dairy Queen wasn’t able to participate in Miracle Treat Day. Despite the forced shut-downs, it doesn’t appear Arnprior businesses are eligible for business interruption compensation.

Town set up water distribution, delivery centre at Nick Smith Centre Continued from front

Town officials said the results of an investigation into the cause of the water ban, called as a precautionary measure due to a sudden significant pressure loss in the water system, will be made public when it is presented to

town council, possibly at its Aug. 22 meeting. The ban was extensive, not only advising residents against drinking the water but also banning almost all other uses other than flushing toilets. Due to the water issue,

Arnprior Regional Health cancelled elective surgeries in the hospital’s operating room and ambulatory care on Aug. 11 and 12. The hospital also cancelled some (but not all) ultrasound examinations. Other than that, “it re-

mains business as usual at Arnprior Regional Health,” stressed ARH. “A contingency plan is in place to ensure the safety of our patients, residents and clients.” The town set up a depot for residents to pick up clean drinking water supplies at the Nick Smith Centre during the crisis. The town dispensed bulk water as well as

bottles, but asked people to bring their own containers if they could. Town staff and organizations such as ArnproirBraeside-McNab Seniors at Home delivered water to people unable to attend the Nick Smith Centre. After the advisory was lifted, the town set up a large container in the parking lot at the Nick Smith Centre

for the recycling of plastic bottles. Residents with more plastic bottles than they can fit in your blue box were asked to bring the containers to the Nick Smith Centre for recycling. During the water ban, people were asked to monitor the town’s website at www.arnprior.ca and media for further updates.

Property rights vs. environmental protection at official plan meeting John Carter

John.carter@metroland.com

The public input meetings for the Renfrew County official plan review are shaping up to be a debate between landowners’ right advocates and those who want to protect the area’s environment and farm land. About 25 people turned out at the McNab-Braeside municipal office Aug. 11 for the third of seven sessions around the county. While there was little comment about McNab-Braeside issues, including the township’s decision to fold its official plan into the county’s, there were several presentations of a more general nature regarding land use regulations. The one thing both sides agreed with is that the official plan should provide a made-in-Renfrew-County response to local issues. County planning manager Charles Cheesman said that while the county is mandated to make the plan generally fall in line with the Provincial Policy Statement, there are areas where it is recommending differences. However, the province has the final approval powers, they noted. After about 50 people each at-

Bonnechere River Watershed Project board chair Kathy Lindsay discusses her presentation with Renfrew County manager of planning services Charles Cheesman, right, and county director of public works and planning Steven Boland at the official plan review public meeting in McNab-Braeside Aug. 11. tended sessions in Cobden and Eganville, the series of meetings continued this week in Calabogie, Chalk River and Barry’s Bay, with the final session on Tuesday, Aug. 23 at the Horton Community Centre. The event, which isn’t limited to

Horton-related comments, begins with an open house from 5:30 to 7 p.m., followed by a formal public meeting from 7 to 9 p.m. Among those making presentations at the McNab-Braeside meeting were Renfrew County Private Landowners Association

chair Donna Burns, Bonnechere River Watershed Project board chair Kathy Lindsay and Debra Pretty-Straathof of the ArnpriorLanark branch of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. Burns, who is attending all seven meetings, said the official plan should not infringe property rights. Several prominent economists have concluded that protection of property rights is a key element in economic development and the bringing of prosperity to an area, she said. However, the provincial government wants to centralize development and population in the urban areas, so is discouraging rural growth and eroding rural property values with such things as stringent rules protecting wetlands, she said. “The success of the (official) plan requires a partnership with the public, not dictatorship,” she said, urging the county to stand up to the province and reduce restrictions in the plan. As well, municipal councils should do a better job in explaining how important the plan is to their residents, she added. Marlene Black urged the county to “fight back” against provincial

officials who do not understand or care about the rural interests. They use such things as conservation authorities “to crush rural people,” she said. The plan should encourage more jobs in the county, not chase them away, she added. On the other hand, Lindsay, who lives in Horton and has a cottage in McNab-Braeside, argued that the official plan should protect the county’s rural lifestyle and outdoor tourism industry, promote community health and well-being through active living, and sustain natural assets. To do so it should comply with the Provincial Policy Statement by identifying, maintaining, restoring and even where possible improving the diversity and connectivity of such natural heritage as significant woodlands, valleylands, wetland and wildlife habitat, she said. The official plan should focus growth on settlement areas to prevent further loss of environmental and heritage sites and minimize risk to water features, she added. Lindsay said it is important for the plan to protect areas of “exceptional scenic and historical value.” See SAVE, page 5

Save the view of the Ottawa River from River Road, county urged Continued from page 4

For example, restricting development on the river side of River Road between Braeside and Sand Point will protect the view of the historic Ottawa River and the picturesque Laurentian Mountains for future generations, said Lindsay, who is a wildlife ecology scientist. She also maintained there needs to be “adaptation planning” to mitigate future impacts of climate change on private and public infrastructure and watersheds. She supported the Ottawa River Institute’s submission that the official plan address climate change by making one of its goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Lindsay also suggested that to “protect our agricultural base, food security and farmland wildlife, it is import the official plan apply the Agriculture designation to all of the lands identified by the province as suitable for agriculture.” In her presentation, PrettyStraathof expressed surprise so much of the farmland in the county

is zoned rural instead of agricultural, which would give it more protection. She pointed to the farms along Burnstown Road as examples of agricultural land zoned rural. It could become a concern if good farmland is lost to other uses, she said. She noted that the county has plenty of non-farmland on which residential and other development can occur. The county has indicated that the rural designation is favoured by many farmers because it gives them more flexibility for use and sale of their land if farming becomes unprofitable. Along that line, the county is proposing to loosen restrictions to allow farmers to add small businesses such as bakeries on their side on their properties to boost revenue. Frank Burke argued that landowners should be compensated or pay less taxes if any regulations adversely affect their property values. Lyn Clelland and Eric Smith made presentations on behalf of

the Renfrew County Water Quality Leadership Group, urging the county through its official plan to take a key role in protecting water quality. Smith said more collaboration is needed to ensure healthy land and water for current and future generations. However, water quality management should be guided with a Renfrew County model and local solutions, not by more expensive conservation authorities, he added. Such locally-developed solutions would help to prevent catastrophic events (such as Walkerton) without being a development control process or telling people what they can or cannot do on their land, says the group. Clelland said the organization is pleased to see the draft of the new official plan addresses water quality issues that “threaten property values, economic development, recreational activities and ecological and hydrological integrity in the county.” However, the group proposes the official

plan go even further by: • cooperating with the public in addition to local municipalities for the wise management of resources and the well-being of the community; • including language referring to a locally-led, community-based watershed council with a cross section of public interests including the agricultural, recreational, environmental, residential and business sectors for achieving long-term freshwater sustainability and improvements in Renfrew County; • providing full-time coordination and capacity support services to the watershed council. The group says a plan for the county’s four major watersheds should be designed to minimize the impact of human activities and to sustain and improve freshwater in Renfrew County Such a plan would protect the property tax base and community health and well-being by helping to maintain water quality, its report

says. It would also promote the positive aspects of waterways for recreation and tourism, tapping into a growing trend of “active living” and outdoor adventure and the branding of Renfrew County as ‘Ontario’s Adventure Playground’ and ‘Whitewater Capital’. Clelland explained that the Renfrew County Water Quality Leadership Group represents a group of agricultural, business and environmental organizations that evolved from consultations over the last five years most recently led by the agricultural sector over concerns about water quality in Renfrew County. The county is accepting written official plan submissions until Sept. 30, then will compile them and staff response in a report that will be presented to the county’s development and property committee and be available to the public late in the year. The official plan including the proposed major changes are available online on the county’s website.

Arnprior fire chief among most knowledgeable in Ontario Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

Back in the late 1980s when John Okum was pursuing a business diploma, he joined the volunteer fire department in Arnprior. Twenty-eight years later he is not only the fire chief, but is among the most knowledgeable in all of Ontario. Okum has achieved four certifications in recent months. Through the National Association of Fire Investigators he is a certified fire and explosion investigator. Through the Ontario Municipal Management Institute he is now a certified fire service executive, a certified suppression professional and a certified fire prevention professional. He is also a certified company officer, which is difficult to obtain since only a handful are accepted into the program every year. That should bring some added comfort to Arnprior residents, but during a recent interview at his office – with certificates proudly displayed on the walls – he cautioned against, say, leaving the stove on overnight. “Oh, no, I wouldn’t recommend that,” he said with a chuckle. “It (his certifications) is a benefit to the town, I suppose. It’s personal, but also professional: when I do a job, I want to do the best I can.” Born in the Arnprior hospital, Okum has a great fondness for the place and wanted to stay to contribute in one form or another. He is very open and direct about his dedication to safety and serving his friends and neighbours. “I really have a passion for life safety, it’s that simple,” he said. “I genuinely care about people and their experiences.” At many of the worst tragedies to befall individuals and families, Okum has been among the first on scene. It’s a responsibility he takes seriously, and was informed by former fire chief now town councillor Tom Burnette that he would be wise to pursue as far as he can. “He told me I should really consider this as a profession.” And so he won the en-

DEREK DUNN/METROLAND

Arnprior Fire Chief John Okum started as a volunteer firefighter in 1988 while studying business. He is now among the most highly trained and certified fire chiefs in the province. dorsement of the longtime former chief. With more than book smarts, Okum has earned the respect of other management level personnel, and the rank and file volunteers. “He very much promotes the volunteer department; without them we wouldn’t be able to succeed,” said Rick Desarmia, deputy fire chief and fire prevention officer. “With the guys he’s got an open door policy. ‘Let’s deal with the problem.’ And he came through the volunteer system, so he knows what a commitment it is.” Fire prevention officer Cory Nicholas said Okum is supportive and quick to acknowledge accomplishments of others. “Chief Okum is a very progressive fire chief and I have been fortunate to have him mentor me over the years,” Nicholas said. “It’s nice to see him get the recognition he deserves.” The town’s top bureaucrat, chief administrative officer Michael Wildman, is also impressed with his fire chief’s newly earned credentials. He also points to numerous other staff members who are added to the municipality’s knowledge levels. “We have a number of staff who have been working very hard at increasing their training and certifications,” Wildman said. “We have several water and sewer operators who have upped their accreditation over the last few years. In a postWalkerton era, this is a high standard to meet.”

The town has several administrative staff who have either just acquired the certified municipal officer (CMO) accreditation or they are nearing completion of the program. When it comes to municipal certification, the CMO is recognized as the gold standard, he said, because of the rigorous process that goes into the accreditation process. It usually takes upwards of three years to complete. “The CMO is really unparalleled in the municipal sector,” he said Arnprior also has other job specific certifications with staff in recreation, engineering and finance as well. Many of the accreditations and certifications require annual re-certifications, which requires a great deal of commitment. “We are very proud of staff’s efforts, commitment and accomplishments,” Wildman said. Wildman neglected to mention a recent letter to town council from the Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario.

Called an “intensive process,” the program is the most comprehensive career development one designed specifically for Ontario’s municipal managers. “It’s another example of staff bettering themselves and benefiting the community,” Coun.

Aerospace contracts ‘reflect confidence’ in Arnprior plant Continued from front

“These new contracts for Arnprior Aerospace to support the 777X, our newest airplane program, reflect Boeing’s confidence in Arnprior’s performance and competitiveness,” said Kent Fisher, Boeing Commercial Airplanes’ vice-president and general manager of supplier management. “This is a great example of how Canadian aerospace production can bring value to our products while, at the same time, supporting long-term economic growth and local communities across the country.” “We are pleased to continue our long-standing relationship with Boeing with the addition of new work on Boeing airplane programs,” said Arnprior Aerospace president Tom Melvin. “Together, we are committed to further de-

veloping the aerospace industry in Canada, and this new work on the 777X keeps us connected to Boeing’s future growth and development.” Arnprior Aerospace has more than 50 years of experience in the design, production and support of structural components for aerospace and defence applications. Established in l954, Arnprior Aerospace became part of the Boeing Company in l960 until its divestiture in 2005. Today, Arnprior Aerospace is an independent business, wholly owned by American Industrial Acquisition Corporation (AIAC), a privately held industrial group. A key factor in enabling the company to meet stringent customer requirements is its extensive in-house manufacturing capability. Arnprior Aerospace combines product de-

OPINION

Connected to your community

Make it â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;yourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; official plan

Make no mistake, the County of Renfrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official plan will affect the future of this area. So it would benefit residents to pay attention to the current review of the plan and share their thoughts with county officials. The first three public meetings to hear what the public thinks of the proposed changes to the plan attracted about 125 people. Kudos for those who showed up when they probably would have rather been out enjoying the joys of a summer evening. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apparent that while most people are leaving it up to the planning â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;expertsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to decide whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for them, there are a few people who feel passionately about the issues raised in the plan. They appear to be from a wide range of philosophies, from those preferring almost no regulations on private property (back off government) to enviromentalists who want rules with clout to protect sensitive area and water tables from development. The county is walking a tight rope between the two, while keeping an eye on what the province wants as laid out in its Provincial Policy Statement (PPS). County officials feel they have a strong argument for including modifications in the official plan that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite fall in line with the PPS, given Renfrew Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique needs and attributes. However, they realize

if they stray too far from provincial policy, their efforts could be for naught as the province has the final say. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine to promote a made-in-Renfrew County solution to land use regulations, but do it wisely. Picking a public fight with the province could easily backfire. The countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stance in favour of some variations to the PPS will carry more weight with the province if it is obviously strongly supported by the public. So if you back county planners push for local solutions, agree with their compromises or, conversely, either strongly believe that the official plan should back off from restricting property rights or strongly protect our environment, then speak up. There is still one more public meeting in this area, next Tuesday, Aug. 23 at 7 p.m. (5:30 p.m. open house) in the Horton Community Centre. As is the case in all the meetings, county officials will accept comments on any aspects of the plan, not just those about the host area. People also have another six weeks to make written submissions about the official plan. The county wants to hear from you. Its planners are trying to determine what the so-far silent majority thinks. So let them know. Your future may depend on it.

Town needs to improve emergency notification methods

An open letter to the Mayor, Council and Town of Arnprior The current water ban has been quite a learning experience. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a learning experience for the town. Number one problem was notification. There seems to be an impression that all citizens are active and frequent users of social media, listeners to radio or watchers of TV. This is simply not the case. My elderly mother and I are both readers, with numerous health problems between us. We get the Ottawa Citizen, but it can sit for a couple of days without being read. I very rarely watch TV and Mom only watches it to turn on things like movies in the evening. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t listen to radio and are not users

of social media. If I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happened to turn on the CTV Ottawa news 6 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock broadcast on Wednesday to get the weather report, I never wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known that there was a water use ban. As it is, we went through the whole day using the water to drink, brush our teeth, shower, give our dog, clean and fill the birdbath, and water our garden, including food crops. When I heard on the news about the ban and how serious it was (that we were not to use the water for anything but flushing toilets), I was greatly perturbed. My mom is 88 years old with various health issues, including serious digestive tract weakness.

I have numerous health problems, including a reduced immune system. For us not to know about the ban, depending on how it played out, was potentially lethal. Problem number two. When I did go on the Internet to find out more about the news report, it gave the number for the Town Hall. OK, I figured, I will be able to get some details. I phoned the Town Hall and was told by electronic message that it was closed. Why in heavens name was the Town Hall closed and nobody staffing the phones after hours when there was such an emergency? Luckily, after seeing the news report and interview with the mayor from the Nick Smith Centre, I decided that that was the

For us to go out to get water would be a great hardship. Here was where things were done right. Extensive information media coverage was arranged. The wonderful folks dealing with the ban and handing out water at the centre were prepared for our situation. A couple hours later we had two 12 packs of 500 mL bottles of water delivered to our door.Â

Cooling the Climate with your Wallet At the end of June Canada was host to a meeting with the Presidents of the US and Mexico. One does not have to read very much of their “Statement on a North American Climate, Clean Energy, and Environment Partnership” to know this declaration is full of bad news, particularly for rural Canadians.

Their pronouncement says many things. One example, under the subtitles “Driving Down Short-Lived Climate Pollutants, Reduce black carbon (soot)”, the statement reads: “we commit to significant national actions to reduce black carbon emissions in North America,… deploy renewable energy and efficiency alternatives to … firewood in remote communities.” What does this example mean to average, middle-class Canadians? In that statement the Trudeau Liberals have committed to come up with new ways to outlaw the use of firewood. They learned from the failed election campaign of Stephane Dion with his ‘carbon tax on everything,’ that completely banning the use of firewood is unrealistic, particularly in rural Canada. It will not be tax on firewood per se, but costly bureaucratic regulations capped off with a tax on the emissions of firewood, a ‘chimney tax’. They have promised a National Carbon Price in 2016. In this example, this new carbon tax will be paid for by the wood lot licence holders and private wood lot owners. In turn the carbon tax will be reflected in the higher prices consumers pay. In any community, tax assessors and your insurance provider will know if you have a wood stove. Taxes can be and will be directly applied to emitters of particulates from wood burning. The move to ban woodstoves in Canada has already begun in Quebec. The deadline to register wood-burning stoves and fireplaces in Montreal was December 22, 2015, with new emissions regulations to be implemented in 2018. Those who refuse to comply are subject to fines, and those who are willing to adjust are forced to pay for expensive modifications to their wood-burning stoves and fireplaces. Presently, transforming a stove or fireplace with inserts so that it is in compliance with the coming regulations in that city cost between $2,000 and $8,000. What this regressive liberal tax policy does not address is the reason why more and more rural Canadians are forced to heat with wood. The Toronto liberal policy of increasing the price of electricity (well beyond the consumer price index, including wages and pensions) is causing energy poverty in Ontario, particularly among seniors and anyone on a fixed income. Many average Canadians will be forced to leave their own homes, as electricity is too expensive to use for home heating, which is the liberal ‘alternative’ to firewood. It seems that even wood isn’t green or renewable enough anymore. Wood is the oldest heating method known to mankind and mainstay of rural homes, including many of our nation’s poorest residents. It does not make sense to apply the same stringent rules equally to heavily air-polluted cities like Montreal to the far cleaner typically colder areas such as Renfrew County and much of Eastern Ontario. Expect no common sense from a federal government so heavily in debt with its first budget. As your Federal Member of Parliament, I am pleased to represent you on a variety of issues. Whether that issue is promoting agriculture, international trade, Canadian Unity, CNL, the military or jobs in the working forest, I am here to serve you!

I have fibromyalgia and arthritis and I didn’t realize how much pain it was causing me until today when I opened some more. I am now using heat and codeine and ibuprofen to deal with the pain. I have arranged with some friends to come over this evening and water our tomatoes with water from rain barrels and open the 11 remaining bottles for me so that I don’t become incapacitated. Another friend, with health issues of his own, has brought over a 10-L

Our son has been living with the effects of a severe traumatic brain injury acquired in a van/train collision in 1980 when he was 18. We are now elderly, and quite concerned about his future, especially when we note that there are very few resources in Renfrew County that are designed to meet the unique requirements for management of his care. Although we have had an opportunity to meet with a few families who are also concerned about the care of their loved one, we are certain that there are many others in Renfrew County.

Loss of water, our most precious resource, a wake-up call

To the Editor: Arnprior certainly made the headlines last week as residents were told they couldn’t use the town water for practically anything. Not to drink, cook with, bathe, do laundry – even water the flowers. Boiling or chlorinating would be of no use; just don’t use the water! For some, this was an unexpected inconvenience, for others, a major problem, for more yet a crisis causing them to close their businesses, to suffer financial losses. Having no water for more than 50 hours and not knowing when exactly it would be safe to use again was simply not part of anyone’s plans. For all, this is a wake-up call to appreciate what has always been taken for granted – pure, safe water, and lots of it. For us in McNab-Braeside, we depend

on wells for our water. We are responsible for our own supply. But unfortunately, that doesn’t mean we necessarily have control of the quantity or quality of our water. As most of you know, we have been fighting the industrialization of the Braeside Quarry for more than 10 years. And what are we most concerned about? You got it; our water! Pumping our aquifers dry is one concern, but contaminating our aquifers with a petrochemical spill is a nightmare. For the people of Arnprior, this water mishap was correctable, but if this had been contamination of the aquifers supplying all of Braeside and the Ridge with water, this would have been forever. There is no turning back. This is just scary. FACT-MB has always made water our business, hiring a top notch hydrogeologist

eight years ago to advise us and give the warning to our municipal government. This expert and others, whom we hired, were essential in the OMB fight in March 2015. Without their testimony, a permanent asphalt plant would likely be belching its toxic chemicals into the environment right now. To run a plant, huge quantities of fuel are required to make the asphalt. Any accidental spill could mean the end of water on the ridge. This Township Council promised to take care of the people of the ridge if they were elected. They were elected, yet the Council turned their backs on these same people who had been fighting all these years to protect the community water. Not one penny would this Council give to help FACT-MB with our debt. Shameful!

But the fight isn’t over yet. Did you know that Miller has applied to the courts for permission to appeal the OMB ruling? Did you know that they have tried to make changes to their site plans that were not approved at the OMB hearing? Or that Miller has reneged on an agreement made at OMB to test water for PAHs, (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons), cancer-causing chemicals produced in petrochemical breakdown? They don’t want to test to the level that is necessary for safety. And FACT-MB can simply not go farther and farther into debt to continue to fight for this testing. When is McNab-Braeside Council going to wake up? Why is our water, our number one resource, not the number one priority of our elected representatives? Michael Battiston Braeside

BUTT OUT

SMOKING FIRES SMOKING IS THE #1 CAUSE OF FATAL HOME FIRES WHAT’S THE RISK?

How do I prevent a smoking fire?

Smoking fires account for 8% of all home fires.

v Enco urage smokers to smoke outside.

One in 10 smoking fires results in an injury or death.

v Do not extinguish cigarettes in plant pots, which may contain a mixture of peat moss, shredded wood and bark that can easily ignite. v Never smoke in bed.

One in four home fire fatalities are caused by smoking.

v Use large, deep ashtrays that cannot be knocked over.

65% of smoking fires are caused by “improper discarding” of smoking materials. The average dollar loss per smoking fire is $37,000.

A Dangerous Mix: Alcohol is a factor in many smoking-related fires

v Empty ashes into a metal container – not the garbage can – and put it outside. v If people have been smoking in your home,

check behind chair and sofa cushions for cigarette butts before going to bed. Install smoke alarms on every storey of your home and outside all sleeping areas.

Water Works Arnprior residents load up with water last Thursday at the Nick Smith Centre during the town water advisory. The ban on using water from the town system (other thanflushing toilets) ran from Wednesday morning to 1:30 p.m. Friday. Hundreds of Arnprior residents lined up for the bottled water provided by the town.

Humans shouldn’t depend on unlikely coincidence to save them To the Editor: In his letter ‘So much for global warming’ (Arnprior ChronicleGuide, Aug. 11), armchair climate expert Mr. Tony Eitzen dismisses the well understood impacts of increased carbon dioxide on the global climate based on a prediction that the sun’s energy output might temporarily decrease over the next 30 years. Of course everyone understands that changes in the sun’s output would have a direct effect on our climate, and anyone who has studied the issue hopes that Professor Zharkova’s model is correct. A solar decrease would give humanity a chance to mitigate the atmospheric changes before they become irreversible. Dr. Zharkova herself states that (if her predictions turn out to be correct) “The

Sun buys us time to stop these carbon emissions.” (www.iflscience. com/environment/mini-ice-agenot-reason-ignore-global-warming/). Despite Mr. Eitzen’s bizarre assertion, this unverified prediction is not an “inconvenient truth.” At best it would provide a temporary respite from humanity’s shortsighted activities. The thesis of Mr. Eitzen and his ilk is that we can continue to act irresponsibly because there is a chance that an unlikely coincidence will save us. This mindset is eerily reminiscent of 20th century tobacco industry apologetics and should be discounted as childish escapism. Al Scott PhD Astrophysics

Renfrew County Catholic school board approves $64-million budget Excellence in education and fiscal responsibility are two main features of the 2016-17 $64-million Renfrew County Catholic District School Board (RCCDSB) budget, say trustees. “The board is committed to providing a distinctive Catholic curriculum that seeks to nurture the giftedness, self-worth and potential of each individual student, while aligning with Ministry of Education goals,” board chair Bob Michaud said in a news release. “This budget puts funding where it is

most needed to provide the best education possible for all students across our Catholic education system.” The total expenditure for 2016-17 is $64,078,145, while revenue totals $63,490,078. A deficit of $588,067, which represents less than one per cent of total budget, will be covered by board reserves. The board’s theme for 2016–2017 comes from its vision statement, Michaud explained, calling on all students, staff and administration to “make a difference

as faith-filled community builders.” Michaud noted that “as a Catholic education system, we strive to teach our students how they can contribute to their communities as mature, respectful citizens and responsible stewards of the world around them. We focus on inclusivity, respect for one another and sustainability of our environment.” Michaud pointed out that RCCDSB students already participate in many social justice projects, from fundraising for

various charities to social awareness and environmental activities. “Our efforts in 2016–2017 will enhance this work. Our students will learn how to build lasting and loving connections that make a difference in the communities in which they live.” Technology-enabled learning continues to be a major focus in 2016-17, Michaud said, with $243,384 from the Technology and Learning Fund to be invested.The 21st Century Professional Learning Networks project will extend into its fourth year, providing extensive professional development in technology-enabled learning and dramatically increasing the number of devices available to students. Another priority for the board is mathematics instruction. A total of $257,500 will be spent on increasing capacity through professional development to engage students in rich tasks, problem-solving and strong number sense. Other priorities include French as a Second Language and Specialist High Skills Majors, as well as a continued partnership with Shaw Woods for outdoor education. The board also will implement the revised Kindergarten program and the new Kindergarten Assessment and Evaluation document. “We are very proud of the high quality of professionalism among our board and school administration, our teachers, educational assistants, early childhood educators and all support staff,” said Michaud. “They provide our students with rich, challenging programs in safe, caring, joy-filled classrooms and schools, while nurturing their individual giftedness and personal interests.” The Special Education program will continue to be a priority for the Board, despite a continuing deficit. “We are committed to providing our students who have special needs with the opportunity to achieve their best potential,” said Michaud. “At RCCDSB, we strive to nurture the giftedness, self-worth and potential of all our students.” The board’s capital projects for 2016–2017 include a $2.8-million allotment for renovations, repairs and upgrades at schools across the system including the start of interior library and cafeteria renovations at St. Joseph’s High School in Renfrew. The board will continue to explore measures to enhance pupil safety, health and well-being. The continuing stewardship efforts include the ongoing automation of internal processes to achieve efficiencies across the system. The school board is expanding online payment to include community booking of school properties, as well as eliminating the use of cash to pay for school activities.

BACK TO SCHOOL & FALL REGISTRATION Summer school fun Students from St. Joseph’s and St. John XXIII Catholic Schools participated in a K4J summer program at St. John Chrysostom Hall in Arnprior the last week of July and on July 25 they had a special concert celebration. LESLIE OSBORNE/ METROLAND

In an initiative to further engage students in their education, the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board hosted two student forums during the last school year. The forums offered students a chance to have input into what happens in their schools and classrooms, to help shape their learning environment and feel that their opinion matters. “We want to hear the students’ perspectives and use their voice to help inform our work,” noted comoderator Sandy Brannan, the board’s safe schools co-ordinator. Involvement in student voice activities can also help to increase student engagement and achievement, build skills such as problem solving, leadership and collaboration, and increase students’ ownership of their school community. Conference co-moderator Karen Keels, vice-principal of Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School in Petawawa, assured students: “We want you to know that we value what you think. Your voice is important.” The sessions in Pembroke and a week later in Renfrew were designed to gather student voice and ideas on four topics - faith, engagement, inclusion and next steps. After a few fun, ice-breaker activities, participants were ready for the day. “We sought to provide students from Grade 6 to 12 an adult-like conference experience. As the day went on and they got to know one another, they became more comfortable voicing their opinions,” noted organizer Jaimie Perry, the

board’s superintendent of educational services. About 100 participants worked in small groups with a student leader from Bishop Smith Catholic High School or St. Joseph’s High School to tackle the topics at hand. “It was amazing to see them work together, dialogue and support one another. “The students who participated in our forums were engaged and eager to share their thoughts,” said Brannan. Student reaction to the event was overwhelmingly positive. “It’s nice to have our voices heard,” said Emma, a Grade 7 student from Cathedral Elementary School in Pembroke. “It was a good opportunity to share our ideas,” said Hayden, Grade 12 at St. Joseph’s High School. Grade 12 student Bailey, from Bishop Smith Catholic High School, added that it was fun interacting with the other grades. Student leaders from St. Joseph High School thanked organizers, stating, “we didn’t really know what we were signing up for, but it was awesome.” At the end of each day, students presented takeaways from the forums, which ranged from recognition of the importance of Catholic schools, student voice and engagement, to student involvement in school activity planning, and suggestions for fun, inclusive learning. All the responses and ideas were collected and will be shared with school leaders and teachers.

ADHS student co-presidents discuss upcoming school year Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

Not all high school students take the summer off. Members of Arnprior District High School’s Student Council are busy planning a bottle drive for this Saturday, Aug. 20 and the Grade 9 student orientation Sept. 1, along with the annual Red and White Day Parade, spirit weeks, Character Education Assemblies and more. Co-presidents this year are Nic Edge and William Roffey who will uphold the 25-member council’s role as liaison between students and teachers “We foster a sense of leadership in the school community and make events appealing, interesting and inclusive to all of our 650 students,” Edge said. “We are currently in the process of planning events for the 2016/2017 school year. Student Council also assist in giving funds to all the sports teams and all clubs at ADHS.” Edge and Roffey speak on behalf of the school body on a variety of topics, the vast

majority of which are positive and upbeat. However, they may end up having to represent students when ongoing, political stories arise. Over the past few years, ADHS has had to deal with: • less funding for rural schools versus city; • declining enrolment; • aboriginals offended by the name Redmen, along with related images; • separate school boards; A recent People For Education study showed rural schools receive less provincial funding than schools in urban areas. Both Edge and Roffey are okay with that to the extent that city schools have more students. And small town schools are innovative in making up the difference, they say. Some courses available in cities can be taken online in rural areas, for instance. A return to Grades 1-12 schools is also trending in recent years, including Valour in Petawawa. But Roffey said the inequity should taken seriously.

DEREK DUNN/METROLAND

William Roffey and Nic Edge are this year’s co-presidents of the Student Council at Arnprior District High School. Their summer vacation included more than a little school work. Together with other members of the council, they have organized a bottle drive for this Saturday, Aug. 20. “It does hurt us a little bit,” he said. “And it’s not like you can put us and RCI together (to make a larger school deserving of more funding). “We’re just too far apart.” The issue dovetails with declining enrolment, they said. Schools are funded per pupil. New families are less inclined to move or remain in small towns where there are fewer services. That means fewer class courses and activities could contribute to some families moving to the cities. That in turn leads to down-

ward spiral: fewer families with students leads to fewer courses; and fewer courses could lead to fewer families. ADHS, as an example, has seen its enrolment decline from well over 1,000 a few years ago to under 700 today, though most would agree aging demographics are the leading cause. “If we had more students we’d be more appealing to younger families,” Edge said. “We need more driving factors for families in our area.” See ADHS STUDENTS Page 19

ADHS students to hold bottle drive this Saturday

Continued from page 18

They point to ADHS as being an open and inclusive school. Like all secondary schools in the Renfrew County public board, it will have an “all gender” washroom to make those in the LGBTQ community feel more comfortable. Edge also attended a conference on the topic in June at Alqonquin College’s Pembroke campus. He added that ADHS teachers and counsellors are up-to-date and supportive of identity issues. When it comes to the ongoing controversy over the name Redman, the co-presidents don’t foresee students proactively seeking an end to the use. Roffey, in particular, doesn’t make a connection between the racist term redman and the name that indicates the school colour. “I don’t associate it with native people,” he said. “If the school name does get changed, that’s out of our area anyway.” Often around provincial budget time, the issue arises of doing away with Ontario’s separate school board to save duplication costs. The students said some competition exists between the two boards for the shrinking pool of students. ADHS would like to present its case to primary school students such as those at St. Joseph’s Catholic School but are prevented. The Catholic high school for the area does not ask to do presentations at public schools. The co-presidents advocate for students hearing from both sides. Among the more significant issues for Edge and Roffey is the poor image teenagers have in many communities. While it is true that mental health issues are a challenge but being addressed as best as possible, they say, young people are often not given the benefit

of the doubt. They hope events such as the bottle drive and others show that the vast majority of young people simply want to be contributing members of the community. They also welcome all students to participate in Student Council activities, and that Grade 9 student representatives will be selected soon. Volunteering this summer makes a nice addition to the application form, Edge suggested. BOTTLE DRIVE

Student Council will hold a bottle drive this Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. They will have a drop-off location at the ADHS parking lot, 59 Ottawa St., and members will approach various homes collecting empty bottles and cans throughout the day. “This is a really great way to support the school if you have children attending ADHS now, in the past or future, or if you did yourself,” Edge said.

Beware door-to-door pressure tactics: MP

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant is drawing attention to a recent warning issued by the Competition Bureau about deceptive door-to-door sales of water heaters and heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. “It seems every summer my office receives calls from constituents about someone going door-to-door trying to sell some unwanted product or service. This summer is no exception,” said Gallant in a news release. Recently there were kids knocking on doors in Pembroke, she noted. “Under no circumstance do you let these people enter your home.” The Competition Bureau urges consumers to be wary of deceptive tactics used by door-to-door salespeople trying to get you to sign a contract for a new water heater or heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC)

system. These salespersons frequently offer so-called “no-cost” upgrades, when this is often not the case. They may misrepresent themselves as your current supplier, a local utility or municipality, when they are none of the above. Salespersons can also pressure you to accept an urgent inspection of your water heater or HVAC system, and sign a contract with them on the spot. However, these salespeople may be working for private companies unaffiliated with your current supplier, or are in no way connected to a government agency, pointed out Gallant. Once you enter into a long-term contract, it is often too late to get out of it unless you pay exorbitant cancellation fees. Here’s how to avoid getting caught in this situation, advises Gallant: • do not sign a contract under pressure or

make any commitments to the salesperson before doing your own research; • ask the salesperson for photo identification that shows their full name and the name of the company they work for so you know who you’re dealing with; • do your own research on the company, consult your local Better Business Bureau and in Ontario, check the Ontario Ministry’s Consumer Beware List; • check with your current supplier to verify if you have any obligations under your existing contract; •know your rights before you sign any contract at your door by visiting consumerinformation.ca. Gallant suggest that if you have been approached by a salesperson using deceptive sales tactics, turn them away at the door and contact her office.

when she was 11-years-old while Darlene fell in love with the bass after taking turns with multiple instruments. Both sisters have been involved in musical projects together and separately since early adolescence, including performing with local bands and some amazing musicians along the way. Lynda is currently recording with the Widows Jane and also occasionally plays with the Mud Hens. Darlene plays with Potluck and also occasionally has the privilege of joining The Richmond Ramblers on stage. Their current album reflects their longtime love of roots music, with a fusion of bluegrass, folk and some leanings towards old country. ‘Learn to Feel Joy’, the title song, is a tribute to their grandfather, Roland Pariseau, a fantastic and inspiring fiddler who overcame great adversity with the loss of his bow arm in a sawmill accident. Pariseau had to relearn to play fiddle again with a heavy old-style hook, using his shoulder to provide the ‘wrist action’ as he gradually resumed his place in the family band. Both sisters credit their grandfather for their musical blood and the inspiration to pick up instruments in their childhood years. Joining them on their album is Dale Cole on banjo and mandolin, Mike Asselin on lead acoustic guitar, and David Campbell on drums and production (Harbour Music). Calling it a fun experience all around, the Denis Sisters are excited to perform their songs in the upcoming Festival of Small Halls show in Arnprior, opening for Juno award-winning Canadian artist Elliot BROOD. Organized by the same team who organize the Ottawa Bluesfest, the Ontario shows feature bigger Canadian artists paired with local artists in wonderful small venues. See DENIS, Page 28

L’Arche Arnprior

You may have noticed, since L’Arche’s move from the farm in Frontenac to its new home in Arnprior back in 1988 that there have been many new faces coming and going here in Arnprior. L’Arche is an international organization that relies on the enthusiastic support of many young people from all over the world. They travel to various L’Arche communities as volunteers or to work as assistants to core members for a period of a year or more. L’Arche has also enjoyed the presence in its Ontario communities of many co-op students from Guelph and Waterloo Universities, completing their four-month work placements. Over the past 28 years that L’Arche has been in Arnprior, the core members have welcomed hundreds of young people to live, work and learn with them. Many of the individuals welcomed have chosen to stay in the Ottawa Valley, rather than returning to their home communities. Some have married and settled here, raising families and participating in the broader community. Some have continued to be connected with L’Arche, while others have found different work and life opportunities. You may greet core members whom you see regularly around town - participating in sports activities, going for daily walks - and wonder why the people accompanying them keep changing. L›Arche Arnprior has been fortunate to find many assistants who hail from the Ottawa Valley. But the need is always greater than the supply, it seems. So, with the help of L›Arche

Doug Hill, faithful L’Arche volunteer Tracy Tenedero

L’Arche Arnprior

Doug Hill started volunteering with the L’Arche Arnprior organization in the summer of 2015. He has been helping with all-around stuff, ranging from bathroom ceiling installations, bathroom counters and drawers, painting, chair adjustments, etc. A friendly person by nature, he likes to share his passion for helping others. Originally from Toronto, Hill was born in 1950 and his dreams to become a builder led

him to pursue carpentry. He has been involved with many not-forprofit organizations like Habitat for Humanity Ottawa, Centretown Community Housing and the Ottawa Food Bank. In 1990, he moved to Arnprior. Hill is a long-time friend of Denis LaCroix, one of the L’Arche board members, who introduced him to the organization. To quote Doug: “L’Arche is providing a service for folks, which I believe is a vocation. This is desperately needed in our society.” Thank you very much Doug for your handiwork.

Midway madness The Arnprior Agricultural Society rolled out the 2016 edition of the Arnprior Fair Aug. 11-14 and while weather threw a wrench into some of the activities there was still plenty of fun to be had. There were all kinds of treats on offer. Sunday afternoon was a busy day in the midway following a very rainy Saturday that kept the crowds away. Cousins Josh Godin, 9, and Ashlyn Love-McCourt cool off with colourful drinks.

Arnprior Fair: first heat, then water woes The Arnprior Fair got off to a slow start as the hottest evening of the year Thursday limited audience at the demolition derby. At least there was a derby (top). Saturday’s featured derby was washed out and will be rescheduled for some time in September or early October. The heavy rains Friday and Saturday limited attendance cancelled the heavy horse pull. Adding to problems was the town’s water ban that forced the fair to truck in water for the animals, food vendors and the dock dogs tanks (above right, Melanie Wilson of Arnprior and her dog, Shilo). Among the events going ahead were Rudy and Saddle Up, above, and the welcoming of special needs visitors at the fair last Friday (top right checking out the petting zoo.

Remembering Grace Glofcheskie

Friends, family, supporters gather for inaugural Grace Olivia Golf Tournament at Sand Point Golf Course Sherry Haaima

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

It was a day to celebrate and remember a bright young woman taken way too soon. Family, friends, colleagues and supporters gathered at Sand Point Golf Course Aug. 13 for the Grace Olivia Golf Tournament, held in memory of Grace Glofcheskie, who was struck and killed on Dec. 13, 2015 by a man driving a stolen vehicle in Guelph. “Thank you for joining us today in remembering Grace Glofcheskie – an avid golfer, bright academic and loving woman,” said the event program. “Your support today, and everyday, of the Grace Olivia Memorial Fund, helps carry on the legacy she created, as well as reminding friends and family of her importance and love.” Grace was female athlete of 2008 at Arnprior District High School. Before that she attended St. Joseph Catholic after attending John XXIII. She played many sports growing up and was an exemplary student. The endowment fund in Grace’s name will offer University of Guelph bursaries each year. Having completed her master’s degree, she was in Guelph that December night to say goodbye to friends. Golf and the Sand Point Golf Course, were special to Grace. “Many summer days and evenings you could find Grace playing golf with friends

Grace Glofcheskie’s parents Nancy and Gerard are joined by Grace Olivia Golf Tournament organizers and Grace’s friends Emma Watson, left and Abby Brown at Sand Point Golf Course Aug. 13. The bench pictured was created by Ian Hortop and is adorned with a plaque in memory of the young University of Guelph graduate killed in December 2015. and family here,” said the program. “It was natural that a day dedicated to remember Grace would be held at this course.” Grace’s father Gerard Glofcheskie said the community and organizations supported her through scholarships and contributing to her fundraising efforts, giving her the op-

portunity to pursue her dreams and shape the person she was. Not only did she golf at Sand Point but she worked at the club, as well. Gerard joined Grace’s mom Nancy, her siblings Adam, Luke and Rachel and a number of other family members at the tourna-

ment. There were also a number of representatives from the University of Guelph, where Grace was a student, as well as the Barry’s Bay area, from where Gerard hails. The event was a special way to remember Grace, said Gerard. “The organizers did an excellent job and obviously the community and local businesses supported it,” he said. “She had very good friends and her family meant a lot to her.” Grace was heading to Clearwater, Fla. to work for a biomechanics company in the golf division, said her dad. “Grace worked really hard to get to where she was,” he said. The job would have combined her education with her love of sports, he added. “She was going to be the first Canadian to work there,” he said. Grace’s friends Abby Brown and Emma Watson organized the tournament. There was tremendous support for the tournament, with 144 golfers coming out for the day, and countless businesses and organizations lending support. Among the special features of the day was the unveiling of a wooden bench complete with a plaque with Grace’s name on it. Ian Hortop made the bench and the wood was donated by Rona. A similar golf tournament is being planned in Guelph in September. For more, see page 34.

In Memory of

Maford Bridges

I have lost my soul’s companion, A life linked with my own; And day by day I miss her more, As I walk through life alone. • A silent thought, a secret tear, Keeps her memory ever dear, Time takes away the edge of grief, But memory turns back every leaf. Always in our hearts, Love Willis (Willie), Susan, Gourlay and Berberick families

2x90

In memory of a dear husband, father, and grandfather Maford Bridges Aug 18, 2009 A little is gone from my lovely home, A voice I love is still, A place is vacant in his chair, Thank no one can ever fill. I often lay awake at night when the world is fast asleep. And take a walk down memory lane With tears upon my cheeks, Along the road to yesterday That leads me straight to you. Our memories of the happy times, Together we all knew, And always every evening, I seem to find a way Of wandering back to meet you On the road to yesterday. Love you always Wife Vera & family

SMAGGUS – In loving memory of June, Wife, Mother and Grandmother, Who passed away 5 years ago August 20. They say that times a healer But as the time goes on I seem to find it just as hard To face the fact you’ve gone. And today is the anniversary Of the last day that you went away And I am standing here at your graveside And believe me when I say “You’ll never be forgotten” And every year we’ll shed a tear But it’s only because we love you And wish you were still here. Love Murray and family

2x64ag NOLAN – In memory of John F. (Jack) Nolan He never looked for praises, He never was one to boast, He just went right on working, For the ones he loved the most. His dreams were seldom spoken, His wants were very few, And most of the time his worries, Went unspoken too. He was there a firm foundation, Through all of storms of life, A sturdy hand to hold on to, In times of stress and strife. A true friend we could turn to, When times were good or bad, One of our greatest blessings, My husband and kids dad. Lovingly remembered everyday XOXO Bonnie, Susan, John, Polly, Ruth Anna & families

Village of Braeside rallies around Daryle Meek Sherry Haaima

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

The Braeside RA Centre was rocking on Saturday, Aug. 13 as the community came out in force to support one of their own. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Strike Out Cancer - Fun Day for Daryle Meekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was held in support of Meek, who is battling cancer. The event started out with an informal softball game that included Meekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty easy to feel good when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re surrounded by such good people,â&#x20AC;? said Meek, who was overwhelmed by the tremendous support. Once an avid ball player, many of his former teammates showed up in support of their friend and fellow player. Other events included horseshoes, music by Jesseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s DJ Service, face painting by Debbie Laventure, cards, a barbecue and corn roast. Meek, along with the event organizers, is endlessly thankful to all those who made the event possible. McGregorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Produce donated the corn, McNab-Braeside Township waived the rental fees for the facility and Margaret Stewart provided the barbecue. The event was co-organized by Brenda Storie, John Storie and Dan Leblanc. Brenda was not at all surprised to see so many community members out in support of one of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Braesideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite sons.â&#x20AC;? Her heart goes out to her friend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just one of the best people,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know him as a gentle giant and a great athlete. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just such a great sport, too.â&#x20AC;? Brenda noted there are several items left at the RA Centre at the end of the day, including a coat, sweater and shoes. Call 613-6236883 to claim the items.

Wedding day shenanigans leave lasting memories

The invitation came in the mail, which in itself was unusual. It was to a wedding of a cousin, who Mother said was once removed. I thought that meant the family had been thrown out of Renfrew County. But apparently that wasn’t the case, because as long as I could remember they lived near Douglas. Getting an invitation in the mail was unusual, because most people in the community were all invited to weddings on the church steps after the Sunday service. The reason ours came in the mail, was that I was

going to be a flower girl! I wasn’t this excited since the rumour went around that bad Marguirite’s family was moving to some place far away from Northcote. Sadly, there was no truth to that rumour. I had no idea what was expected of a flower girl, but my sister Audrey explained it all to me, and when I heard that I would be getting a new dress, and white stockings, I was beside myself. The bride was never consulted when Mother went into Walker’s Stores and bought a powder blue, Swiss dot material,

ﬂyers. coupons. deals. cash back.

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

and yards of satin ribbon, and a pair of ankle socks with white lace around the cuffs. Unfortunately there wasn’t enough in her egg-money sugar bowl to buy new shoes, and I had to wear a pair that had come in the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie, and which I had long ago outgrown. I knew I was going to be in agony, but to complain could rip me right out of the whole wedding party, so every day, long before the wedding, I crammed my feet into the shoes, hoping they would stretch even a fraction of an inch. The day finally arrived, and all Mother’s praying over her Rosary beads for good weather worked wonders, for the day was bright with not a cloud in the sky, and with a soft breeze blowing to take the heat out of the day. I was amazed that Mother’s Catholic prayers would work in a Lutheran church, and it never occurred to me that the family holding the wedding might be praying too! NO REHEARSAL

A young lad was to carry the wedding ring on a satin pillow, and there was no rehearsal, I was just told to walk beside the ring bearer, smile, and look neither left nor right. I had never laid eyes on the lad before, and my first introduction to him was when he stuck his tongue out at me, and crossed his eyes right on the church steps! My long red ringlets had been up in rags all night, and just as we were about to go into the church, this young whippersnapper grabbed a handful of curls and hissed, “giddy up there horsey” nearly knocking me off my feet. An arm reached out and gave him a good shake, and the two of us headed into the church, leading the way. I knew we were supposed to stand in front of the pulpit until the ceremony was over,

I had no idea what was expected of a flower girl, but my sister Audrey explained it all to me, and when I heard that I would be getting a new dress, and white stockings, I was beside myself. but Joey (I found out his name long after the wedding was over) wasn’t having any of that. He plopped himself down on the step, faced the congregation, stuck his tongue out again at me, leaned back against the organ, and promptly fell asleep. Frankly, I was glad he was out of the picture. But soon you could hear the loud snores all over the church. The organist pumped furiously when it came time to sing a hymn, and drowned him out. No one bothered to waken him when the ceremony was over. It was my sister Audrey who told me later that the minister had to remove the ring from the satin pillow, and he did it ever so gently so that the lad wouldn’t waken and cause another commotion. I never laid eyes on him again. I had plenty to write in my diary that night, and the memory of being part of a wedding lingered in my mind’s eye long after the day was over. The dress became my “going to church dress,” but the shoes would never touch my feet again. One Saturday Mother took them into the Salvation Army in Renfrew to be given to some one in need, and I was back to wearing hateful brown-laced boys shoes, which also came in the hand-me-down box from Regina. Being part of a wedding, wearing a brand new dress, made from store-bought material, not from something Mother had to rip out and make over, made me once again, think the Depression was happening in some other country.

Bonnechere Manor group working to keep residents safe The Bonnechere Manor Choir, comprised of the long-term care homes’ residents, day program clients and volunteers, recently teamed up with the residents and staff of the Home to put together a ‘falls prevention’ slide show. The group’s goal is that this tool will aid in preventing residents from falling – a frequent occurrence among the elderly population. Erin Wilson, the client programs supervisor at Bonnechere Manor, explains that this effort was in response to a request made to the choir by the Home’s Falls Prevention Champion and features tips and advice to help keep residents “steady on their feet.” The presentation is comprised of a se-

ries of photos depicting how residents can ambulate safely in their environment to the soundtrack of the Bonnechere Manor Choir singing clever lyrics to a catchy melody. It is the hope that this presentation will have residents making the correct choices to help prevent falls. Janice Visneskie- Moore, chair of the County of Renfrew’s Health Committee that governs the Home, notes that “this endeavour further highlights the warmth and connection at the Manor between residents, staff and volunteers.” The presentation can be found at http:// www.countyofrenfrew.on.ca/_documents/ pressreleases/2016/FallsPrevention.pptx .

Correction: it was M-B firefighters It was the McNab-Braeside Volunteer Fire Department that recently presented a $100 donation to the Arnprior Regional Health Partners in Caring Foundation for hospital equipment. Information with a photograph in last week’s Chroni-

cle-Guide contained incorrect information as to the source of the donation. The township’s firefighters made the donation when they couldn’t be one of the entries in the Island View Suites ribfest fundraiser for ARH this year.

McNab-Braeside firefighters Kelly O’Rourke and Kevin Nicholson made the presentation to Karen Smith (not Palmer) of Partners in Caring in front of the hospital. The Chronicle-Guide apologizes for the errors.

The sale was also an opportunity for Bonnie Ellis to show off the new Empties for Paws drop box at the store, where beer and wine bottles and cans will be recycled in support of Valley Animal Rescue Laurie Nadon said the rescue group is run solely with volunteers and $4,000 is needed for a husky mix named Wilma to have surgery for an ACL tear in her leg. If the operation isn’t done, the dog, a rescue, could lose its leg. Precious Pets of Renfrew donated a table of clothes for the sale in support of Wilma.
