Premier Wynne in Arnprior to approve nursing home expansion Grove to build $20-million site, add 36 new beds by 2020 DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
The province’s most powerful politician announced the most expensive project in Arnprior’s history on Wednesday, Aug. 16. Premier Kathleen Wynne was at the Grove Nursing Home to serve at a French toast breakfast and announce that a new 96-bed nursing home will be built. The current 60-bed site will be converted to other uses, but will retain a physical link with the new, two-storey building. The Liberal government will begin accepting design plans in the near future. “I am pleased to announce on behalf of the province that there will be 36 new beds in Arnprior that are vitally needed,” Wynne said. “I believe what is being done here in Arnprior is something we need to look at across the province.” The number of long-term beds in town is less than half the provincial average, but for the last couple of years, the

Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne and Arnprior Regional Health CEO Eric Hanna serve the first customers of the day, Logan and Austin Neill. Wynne was at the Grove Nursing Home breakfast for a major funding announcement: a new, 96-bed facility to be built nearby. Liberal government gave no indication of bringing in more. A public campaign lead by community organizations and supported by Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) sent a petition to Queen’s Park with MPP
John Yakabuski, who attended the breakfast. However, Wynne made no mention of protests — just that she is impressed with ARH CEO Eric Hanna and his team for creating an “exemplar”

ARH working on nursing home project for 18 months Continued from page 2
Hanna said ARH has been working on design plans for about 18 months and talking with Health Ministry staff for more than two years. It is a big deal to have Wynne at the Grove; he isn’t aware of the last time Arnprior hosted a sitting premier. “It’s probably one of the greatest days of my health care career in the sense of development in meeting the community’s needs,” Hanna said. The project — at this early stage — is projected to cost between $20 and $24 million, more than double the current downtown revitalization project. And it comes a few short years after a $14-million renovation to the emergency room at Arnprior District Memorial Hospital. Shovels could be in the ground within four to six months. Hanna hopes to see the doors open in two-and-ahalf years. Wynne shared her personal experience with aging parents. She said the elderly

Premier Kathleen Wynne spoke to doubts over the planned expansion to Highway 17. Wynne was in Arnprior recently for a funding announcement. While there she took questions from Metroland Media on topics that affect residents in the Valley and Ottawa. Her government’s commitment to twinning the highway from west of Arnprior to Renfrew has long been an important issue for local community leaders. On Aug. 8, the County of Renfrew obtained a letter from Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca that said, in part, “I am pleased to advise you that the ministry did secure approval to proceed with detail design for the next phase of expansion.” However, there is no word on when shovels will hit the ground. It has yet to be put on the government’s five-year plan. The cost is unknown. And there is the looming election. Former warden Peter Emon is concerned that a
new government could change direction when it comes to infrastructure work. He doesn’t want to see it “become a political football” for the three main parties. Wynne was asked if her party would drop design plans after an election victory. She drew from her time as transportation minister to say experts in the bureaucracy bring forward a list of highways to be considered. They base their decisions on road conditions, safety, traffic volume and other measurables. She is aware design work is beginning on Highway 17, and that is a long process that will produce specific answers related to timelines and costs. “I know this is on the radar of the minister,” said Wynne. “We really need to rely on the integrity of the engineering process.” She admits that politicians do listen to constituents on these matters, but that evidence plays a significant role. She did not specifically say the highway expansion will go ahead if the Liberals are reelected.

O’Brien Theatre owner Kevin Marshall says one month is too short of time for him to do repairs that the Town of Arnprior expects. Town officials say he was aware of their clean up plans going back to last year.
Business owner upset with bylaw enforcement letter DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
A downtown business owner was shocked and upset to receive a tersely worded letter from the Town of Arnprior ordering him to renovate or they will, and hand him the bill. Kevin Marshall took over O’Brien Theatre on John Street almost 20 years ago. He said he was the first to spruce up his business, long before the municipality undertook its downtown revitalization project, introduced a community improvement plan (CIP), and updated the property standards bylaw. He did numerous upgrades on the inside and, at considerable expense, switched from film to digital “just to stay in business.” However, on either Aug. 10 or 11, he received an Order to Comply letter from Jim McBain of Municipal Law Enforcement Services. It said he was in violation of the municipality’s property standards bylaw in three areas: • There is evidence of deterioration that must be repaired; • All exterior-exposed surfaces must be in good repair and the paint or cladding renewed when damaged or deteriorated; • The external finish must be aesthetically consistent and complimentary to the immediate surroundings as determined by McBain. The last point was repeated under the title: Necessary action by property owner on or before Monday, Sept. 11. Marshall took this all to mean, possibly, that he must replace at least two cracked windows, a broken window, the original front door dating back to the building’s 1918 construction, and new paint colours deemed acceptable by the municipality. “I’m not disputing something needs to be
done,” Marshall said outside the building’s facade, pointing to paint chipping on the right side. “It’s just that nobody asked about my plan. I just got a letter in the mail.” Marshall, who talks extensively and knowledgably on the building’s history, said the colours match those used in the 1920s era. He likes them and wants to keep them, if for no other reason than it would cut down on costs. Last year business was down due to construction work on his street, he said, and this year is also down due in part to the farmers’ market street closure every Sunday. He recently paid $3,000 for a long railing along the external step and ramp the town installed. Several times this summer and last year he has contacted painters who didn’t provide him with a quote, he said, for whatever reason. There are few in town that could handle the job. A bylaw enforcement officer provided him with one name, which Marshall thought showed a bias. Officials at town hall said there was no intention of showing favouritism to one painter or company. When business owners say they are struggling to find a contractor, often a name is provided. It should not be construed as a recommendation. According to Mayor David Reid, the Order to Comply letter is not necessarily the last word. The municipality’s objective is “voluntary compliance.” That means if Marshall meets with town staff and explains his plan for completing the necessary work, the Sept. 11 date can be pushed back. “We are not trying to be heavy handed. My understanding is it needs a little paintwork done,” Reid said. “Having said that, we are trying to improve the downtown core for everyone. It’s all about pitching in together as a team and being a good neighbour.” See TOWN HALL page 10

Special guests attend fair DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
About 270 kids from across the region descended on the Arnprior Fair Friday morning, Aug. 18, and claimed the place for their own. The fourth annual Special Needs Days sees the fair closed to the general public to welcome members of Community Living and others. Rides are slowed down, the volume of music is lowered, and other measures are taken to make the fair more enjoyable to those with heightened sensitivity. World’s Finest Shows and its employees volunteer their time to the event. There is no charge to participants. Sue Clark organizes the event every year. She got the idea after seeing her mother do a similar one at the Gloucester Fair some 10 years ago. “It warms your heart seeing how happy the kids are,” Clark said. Watching an employee helping a wheelchair-bound child onto the merry-go-round is a special thing, she added. Scott Brum agreed. The former fair board member stood beside Clark at the entrance to the lunch area, where kids were eating and entertained by a singer. He held a huge bag of stuffed toys and was handing them out with all the generosity of Santa. “It’s just a great thing to see.”

Fair wages for fair work
Minimum wage. Two words that are leading to a maximum amount of discussion these days. Should it go up to $15 as the provincial government is proposing or is this $3.60 per hour increase in wages an action that will cause distress and, some suggest, even cause bankruptcy for businesses. Some economists predict doom and gloom from this increase in the minimum wage. Others say that it will spur the economy. What are we to believe? It seems this decision should not be made on economic predictions, as there are economists on both sides of the issue putting forth what at face value appear to be valid and opposite suppositions. Rather, this is a decision that very much should be made in the context of our Canadian values. Canada is a country that prides itself on equality, fairness and acceptance. In so many situations, Canadians step forward and do (or try to do) what is right and fair and just. It’s part of our DNA. It’s why our society and country are so admired around the world. And so when we know that the prescribed socalled minimum wage is not adequate, we as Canadians should apply our principles of fair play and justice and equality and do something about it. This is what the provincial government is proposing to do, but not without lots of pushback from the business community which seems to view

“minimum wage” as the “maximum wage.” These businesses don’t want to pay a fair wage, just the lowest possible wage. They have been built on low minimum wages and any change will threaten their existence — or so they say. These are businesses that have absorbed increasing electricity rates and presumably will be benefitting from lower power rates beginning this summer. These are businesses that are always susceptible to rent or tax increases. All these varying costs are managed when they happen, either through increasing the charge for products or services or improved, more efficient management. So too can any wage increases. It’s time business stopped relying on this minimum wage crutch and started treating employees with fairness and equality, paying a fair wage for work provided. That’s the Canadian way. We do it in so many of our actions. It’s time we did it for the rate that we pay the workers on the bottom rung of the economic ladder. They won’t be getting rich, but at least they will be closer to earning a living wage that is fair and just.

Trudeau Liberals putting small business jobs at risk: MP Gallant To the editor:
Last year it was campgrounds, this year it is doctors and small businesses in general. The Trudeau Liberals are willing to risk killing jobs, especially scarce in rural Canada. Can small businesses survive the impact of a 93 per cent tax, without cutting jobs. That is the combined tax rate estimated by Armstrong Economics.
July 18 this summer, the federal government, heavy in debt, announced it wants to end ‘income sprinkling,’ ‘passive investments’ funded from after tax business earnings and ‘capital gains conversions’ from private corporations’ regular income for lower taxes, and limit access to the lifetime capital gains exemption.

companies, sometimes taking no salary to ensure survival. If any of the proposed changes are made, local employers are saying it will not make financial sense to continue with the risk. It is not too late for us to stop the Liberals’ attacks on people employed by Canadian small business owners. Public input is being sought on these tax mea-
sures until Oct. 2. If you want to share your opinion with the Trudeau Liberals on their plan, you can do so through my website, cherylgallant.com/biztax.

Thanks for car show, donation To the editor:
I wish to extend congratulations to Brian Estabrooks and his team of volunteers for a great 2017 Arnprior Canada Day Car Show held at Hydro Park on August 7th. Many will know this event was planned for Canada Day but had to be rescheduled to last Monday because of rain. The weather turned out to be perfect and over 150 cars were on display and five hundred people in attendance. Just over $1,600 was raised for the Arnprior Regional Health Foundation and these funds will support the purchase of hospital and Grove Retirement Home medical equipment.

Late summer songsters are now on nature’s stage
Michael Runtz Nature’s Way and the music of cicadas and other insects is finally being heard. While many orthopterans (crickets, grasshoppers, and katydids) sing at night, cicadas sing only by day. The males produce those familiar, highpitched whines that descend from treetops. Cicadas only sing when temperatures are hot enough to activate muscles in a pair of sound-producing organs called tymbals. The contraction of these muscles causes ribs in the tymbals to bend suddenly and snap back, not unlike the reaction that results from pressing down on a metal bottle cap and releasing it. The repetitive sounds produced by the tymbals are magnified in a large abdominal air
sac. This remarkable resonator is why cicada music is the loudest sound produced by any insect. Other insects sing in very different ways. Orthopterans “stridulate” by rubbing body parts together. Many grasshoppers raise their hind leg and bring it down against the outside of a closed wing. Pegs on the inside of the femur rub against the hard wing, producing a quiet, “shuffling” sound with each downward strike. A few species make sounds in flight with their wings. Some “crepitate” by snapping their soft, inner wings open and closed like a woman’s fan. Others clap their wings together, making electric crackling sounds. Crickets and katydids produce sounds with the base of their forewings. A sharp “scraper” on the top of the lower wing is rubbed against a “file” on the bottom of the upper wing. Sounds produced this way range from the melodic chirps of crickets to the high-pitched, raspy buzzes of katydids. Recently, I was in a meadow and noticed a nearby shrub slightly shake. Through my camera, I saw a green leaf start to move. It was a broad-winged bush katydid, and as I watched, its
wings opened over its back and their bases beIt is fascinating to watch one of these tiny gan to rub together, producing a series of soft musicians send out its love song in a farewell to shuffling sounds. It was stridulating! summer! On the next warm day or night, try to track down a singing insect. The Nature email is mruntz@start.ca

With the passing of summer, changes are taking place. Tree fruit is ripening, and the leaves of some species have started changing colour. Nights are longer and cool overnight temperatures are inspiring mist-shrouded awakenings of the day. Goldenrods and asters now dominate meadows while orange jewelweed and purple loosestrife take centre stage along wetlands and roadside ditches. Our eyes see changes while our ears detect others. Dawn is no longer greeted by choruses of robins and cardinals, and except for the occasional and uninspired offering of a warbler, most birds have fallen silent. Still, we are not lacking for music because the late summer songs of insects are now being sung. Male insects, like birds, produce sounds to attract mates. But insect “songs” depend on muscles that are hostage to the temperature of the air around them. The warmer it is, the faster their muscles act, and the more they assist in sound production. The cool conditions that dominated much of this summer have not been conducive to inspiring much insect song. However, in recent days warmer temperatures have prevailed,

Town hall strives for voluntary compliance with O’Brien Theatre Continued from page 5
Last year, the downtown property standards committee asked all stakeholders what work needed to be done. O’Brien Theatre was among them. Seed money was offered. Staff met with Marshall and had a number of discussions. The last one in December. Marshall is aware of CIP and its willingness to provide tax dollars to improve facades. He just doesn’t believe it could happen before Sept. 11. As for the tone of the letter, CAO Michael Wildman said it is basically a form letter drafted from various court decisions. At least 10 businesses have orders to comply, Wildman said. And it’s not uncommon that a municipality will do the necessary work then bill the owner. But, again, that is not ideal, he said. “Voluntary compliance is the goal,” Wildman said. “Look, it’s hard to look (those in compliance) in the face and say thank you for cleaning up when others don’t do it.” He added that the bylaw has no paint colour requirement, suggesting Marshall could keep the same purple, blue and gold. It is also futile to seek a sympathetic ear on council, he added. Enforcement is kept separate from the political side, just as an MPP couldn’t tell a police officer who to arrest or release.
Museum upgrades
Derek Dunn/Metroland
Work has begun on making the Arnprior and District Museum basement waterproof for artefacts following last year’s flood. The $535,000 project - funded equally by the municipal and federal governments - started the first week of August and will likely finish by October. The popular cannon has gone into safekeeping until then. Regular hours will continue at the museum.

MISSISSIPPI MILLS AT A GLANCE
The Caitlin Stewart Memorial Highland Dancing Competition will draw 100 dancers to Arnprior. Sunday, Aug. 27, the Arnprior Highland Dancing Association presents the 18th annual Caitlin Stewart Memorial Highland Dancing Competition. One hundred dancers are expected to participate, coming from as far as Toronto, Quebec and Ottawa valley areas. The competition will be held at our scenic Robert Simpson Park, where a stage will be set up next to the bandstand. “It’s the best location in the Ottawa Valley,” says organizer Renee Stewart. “It certainly has the best Ottawa River view.” The competition is held each year in memory of Stewart’s daughter, Caitlin, who passed away after a car accident Nov. 2, 1998. The competition starts at 8:30 a.m. and runs until 3 or 4 p.m. Everyone is invited to come down to the park for a wonderful day of dancing and bag pipe music. The dancers enjoy an enthusiastic crowd to bring out their best performance. Bring a lawn chair and sun screen. Admission is free but a donation to Caitlin’s Scholarship would be appreciated.
We’re moving…
REGISTRATION/INFORMATION NIGHT “A one stop evening to learn about and register for all your seniors, children & adults fall and winter activities”
Stewart encourages people to drop in and check out the dancing and the music. The dancers are colourfully dressed in the kilts and national costumes. Dancers will be accompanied by accomplished bag pipers. Each dancer will be doing four dances and, at the end of the day, the premier dancers will perform their own version of the Cakewalk. “This is so exciting to watch. Pairs of dancers will have their own interpretation of the dance. The lassies have lots of fun and the crowd likes to start clapping with the dancers,” says Stewart. The competition could not be held without community sponsorship. Ontario Power Generation is a longtime supporter. Stewart expresses her heartfelt thanks for all the community support. “We also have a wonderful group of volunteers. These volunteers ensure the competition continues to run successfully every year. Many parents and former highland dancers keep coming back to keep this wonderful competition running in Caitlin’s name. Thanks for keeping my daughter alive in my heart. Big hug to Jan and Molly, my co-organizer for their hours of hard work — you two are the best!” For more information, contact Renee Stewart at 613-623-4283.

The Renfrew County District School Board (RCDSB) recently hosted its annual Golf Fore Kids tournament at the Oaks of Cobden. Over 100 golfers participated in the day-long event where golfers and non-golfers alike enjoyed lunch, dinner and prizes. “This year’s tournament was bigger and better than last year,” said RCDSB chair Wendy Hewitt. “It showed us the generosity that runs through Renfrew County and I am pleased to know that the funds raised will help many students who are not able to participate in school activities, events and programs due to financial strain.” Golf Fore Kids was established as a signature fundraiser for the Student Support Fund (SFF). The mission of the SFF is to provide opportunities for RCDSB students in all our schools across the county by providing financial support. As a registered charity, the SSF is managed by a committee of between five and seven members, including a combination of board staff and community members.

Mountain Creek Golf Club: Making up for lost time WENDY TESSIER
Despite our late, wet start to summer, the course is in full swing now as everyone tries to break down their handicaps. Here are the latest updates for the ladies, men’s and seniors’ leagues at Mountain Creek (MC). There’s always room for more players, so if this kind of fun interests you, we welcome you. In celebration of his Swiss roots, Jonathan Schaepper holds the Swiss Open at MC, decorating the course with the Swiss flag. The format played was a tombstone: you plant your “tombstone” where a pre-determined percentage of your handicap sees you run out of strokes. This year’s winner, Denis Tessier, (photo) came in off Hole 18 with one stroke remaining. The evening was topped off with a Swiss appetizer, Bündnerfleisch, (an air-dried meat specialty) and mixed fondue, an unusual dinner special for a golf course, but much enjoyed by all! Lenora Homulos and her lady members hosted the annual Mulvihill Cup. Congratulations to the Madawaska ladies who won the cup with Sand Point players coming in second. The event was blessed with excellent weather and, gratefully, a wonderful effort on the part of the many volunteers who donated their time and effort on many fronts; snacks, homemade desserts, flowers (in the Gohuts, no less), spotting, and making sure our guests were taken care of on
and off of the course. Our reputation for challenging greens continued as the pin placements were knee-shakers! Ladies’ Night: Aug. 2: Honey Pot Red tees, Lenora Homulos and Yellow tees, Wendy Tessier. Closest to the hole wins: red, Chris McLaughlin and yellow, Bev McAskin. Pro shop draw, Arlene Watt Aug. 9: Honey Pot Red Tee winner — Heather Sulpher, and Yellow Tee winner — Judith Waddell. One putt winner was Marlene Nevins. Pro shop draw: Peggy Grey Aug. 16 was a “string along mixer.” Thanks to organizer Elaine Pritchard. Each person received a length of string equal to their handicap in feet and were allowed to use the string to get out of trouble, take a preferential lie or hole out. Once your string was “used up” you were on your own. It was great fun, once everyone figured out when to use the string; all strategy! The winners of the event were: Red Tees, Karan Machan and Yellow Tees, Elaine Pritchard. For those who preferred straight play, the honey pot winners were: Chris McLaughlin, Red Tees and Linda Mulligan, Yellow tees. Heather Sulpher won the pro shop draw. Last Saturday’s tournament saw participants playing their own game but assigned “blind partners” after play was finished. Winners were: first place - Karan Machan and Karen Buckle. Second were Arlene Watt and Ann Thompson. And third were

Scramble. Groups moved around the course in great time and managed to finish before the skies darkened and the horn was sounded. The foursome of Jim Thibault, Sylvia Long, Suzanne Lantos and Gord Clark earned a narrow one-stroke victory over Dennis Riopelle, Graham Long, Ann Thompson and Franci Schaepper by carding a net 51. The following week, the senior golf league (many in their finest tropical attire) took to the links at Mountain Creek for the prestigious Pineapple Putt Off competition. After a fun afternoon of fast greens and tricky pin placements, the winners were declared — fewest putts in the Ladies category went to Linda Mulligan (31) and Marlene Nevins (36) while Stu Thompson (28) and Ray Turmaine (29) captured the honours in the Men’s category. They are shown below displaying the fruits of their labours. Forty-one golfers enjoyed an absolutely fabulous day on the links a week ago as they participated in the “Fairways minus putts” format. While the majority of golfers ended up with scores in the positive, there were challenges finding fairways and putting pratfalls which resulted in the occasional negative result. Most seemed to enjoy the format and in the end, the ladies exhibited their superiority with Helene Lanoue (48) and Erna Othmer (37) capturing the top two spots. Winners on the men’s side were Bill Hoy (22) and Garry Cardiff (19).

Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, August 24, 2017 19
Bryan Murray By Scott Campbell Bryan Murray is my uncle. I sat down to interview him at his summer cottage - found just outside of Ladysmith, Quebec - on August 1. Looking back, it is an honour to have done it. I thank Uncle Bryan, Aunt Geri, cousins Heide, Emma and Addie (the three were visiting at the time), for allowing me this snapshot of time. Bryan Murray has a lifetime of hockey memories making for many stories that could fill plenty of pages. The Washington Capitals hired the Shawville native as head coach in 1981, marking the start of a career in the NHL, which spans five teams. Since those early games, he’s seen the game of hockey change dramatically. “First of all, the toughness in the game is not what it was,” he said. “I think the rule changes with the red line gone and the tag-up rule, and things like that make the game appear faster. It is faster. I think the skill level of the kids today is better overall, and that goes along with being faster. The game is changed, and probably for the most part has changed for the better.”
SHAWVILLE KID
Murray’s story begins in the small Ottawa Valley town of Shawville, Quebec. Bryan is one of 10 children of Rhoda and Clarence Murray, a brother to Laird, Barrie, Darleen, Terry, Bill, Laurie, Lorraine, Karen and Kim. Clarence built the Murray home on King Street in Shawville in the late 1940s. He did most of the work on his own. Until Rhoda’s passing in 2013, it remained in the family.
The Murray clan didn’t live in the house right away. Clarence needed the rent money so everybody moved out to the farm outside of Shawville in Yarm. “I think we were all glad to get back at Shawville at some point,” said Murray. “But I think when we went through that life on the farm there were a lot of great memories of that too.” “I don’t know how mom and dad did it, honestly. We had the benefit of good guidance and parents that made sure we had enough. We never had too much, but we always had enough. They expected discipline and decent behaviour. I think it shows that we’ve all grown up to be pretty reasonable people. When you look back on it, so many great memories and so much fun, I think the closeness of most of us in the family is because of it. “It was a full house, no question. Mom somehow, some ability, whether we were out playing hockey, or out playing baseball, or just coming home from school, she had a meal on the table.” For kids growing up in Shawville, a lot of them chose hockey and baseball to play. Murray played a lot of baseball – senior level to the Upper Ottawa Valley League. The home games actually took place on the fairgrounds, not at the R.A field like now. Teams from Quyon, Campbell’s Bay, Vinton, Fort Coulonge, Sheenboro, Otter Lake, Pembroke, Petawawa and Chalk River provided the competition. There was a lot of hockey too. Murray was skilled enough to play with the seniors when he was 14 or 15 years old. He played against Royce Richardson and others who were twice his age.
20 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, August 24, 2017
“It wasn’t hard to fall in love with hockey. Like a lot of guys around here, I was pretty good at it. Everybody played hockey and that was our outlet,” said Murray. He even drew the attention of one of the NHL expansion teams, the Philadelphia Flyers. “I was playing senior hockey for Shawville in Smiths Falls one night. They watched me before they told me … I scored six goals in the game, which I did a few times in college. They called me the next day and offered me to go to their farm team. I said OK … $20,000. They said Gordie Howe makes $20,000, you can’t make $20,000. That’s what the salaries were.”
PONTIAC HOUSE
Before the call of the NHL came, Murray was a school teacher. When Pontiac Protestant High School first opened, in his eyes, it felt like 600 kids were walking the halls. He helped open Murray’s sporting goods store with brother, Bill. (Bill and his family ran the business for over 40 years.) They built a new building and brother, Barrie, moved in. Murray also bought Pontiac House in 1979. “I went to talk to the owner and the price was right.” Sister Darleen and her husband at the time and Murray’s wife Geri joined in running the business. They sold a pint of beer and a pack of cigarettes for 25 cents and a quart of beer for * 55 cents. It was a time when the tavern catered exclusively to men. Murray remembers Saturday nights and some Fridays in Shawville when all the farmers came into town and people could hardly find a parking spot on the street. “We didn’t rent rooms at the Pontiac House, but we had food, alcohol and bands on the weekend. The place was packed. There was a beautiful dining room and lounge. We had family come in and help us in the kitchen like Lorraine and mom. They helped us a lot. Friday night and Saturdays there would be 100 men in the tavern.” Pontiac House eventually succumbed to a fire and Hursty’s restaurant now resides in the location. Murray coached teams such as the Rockland Nationals and Pembroke Lumber Kings during this businessman period. Then he received an offer from the Western Hockey League Regina Pats to coach there. He told his wife, Geri, he wanted to go out west for one year to say he did it. Regina won the championship, paving the way for his career in the NHL. What if the Washington Capitals had never called? “I probably would have been a businessman in Shawville and maybe taught a little longer,” said Murray. “I would have been a Shawville guy, I think at that stage. I would have been involved in hockey but I don’t think I would have been running out of town a lot. That’s life, you never know.” “I thought I was a good coach, thought I could make part of a living from coaching.”
“I don’t get tired talking about home.” - Bryan Murray
LIFE IN THE NHL
how he treats people and is he a good guy, does he have a chance to be a committed hockey player? I think you evaluate all of that, but I think the bottom line is you try to draft good players and talent. You have to draft certain types and it takes a lot of work and good scouts. If you get three out of seven players to play pro hockey for you, you had a good year.”
General manager David Poile was hired during Murray’s second season, and he made some trades that stimulated fan interest.
Erik Karlsson, Zack Smith, Mark Borowiecki, Chris Wideman, Mike Hoffman, Mark Stone and Jean-Gabriel Pageau are a few - not all - of the notable draft picks made by Murray with the Senators.
Washington was a struggling team when Murray stepped in as head coach. The team had not made the playoffs in eight years. He stayed behind the bench with the Capitals for seven full seasons and earned the Jack Adams Trophy in 1984, as NHL coach of the year.
“It gave the players a sense that we were trying to get better,” said Murray. “We had some great runs like in Game 7 against the Islanders and Pat Lafontaine scored. There’s Game 7 against the Philadelphia Flyers and Dale Hunter scored for us. Fan interest was quite high at that time and it got better. It’s (now a) good hockey hotbed.” The Game 7 against the Islanders is known as the ‘Easter Epic’ in NHL history. The match took four overtime periods to decide and finished in the early hours of Easter Sunday. In 1988, the Capitals were down 3-1 in the playoff series and managed to fight back to force a Game 7 against Philadelphia. The contest went into overtime before Hunter tallied the winner for Washington. Murray next headed to the Detroit Red Wings. It wasn’t smooth sailing, as it was evident on his arrival that the team faced player issues. “I got the chance to go in and help fix that. We had some runs in Detroit. I was only there for four years, but we had a lot of kids, and we knew we were going (to) be really good.” Next up was the Florida Panthers, which managed a trip to the Stanley Cup Final in their third year. Murray helped craft the team for that unexpected run. He remained in Florida until 2000 and then moved on to Anaheim. “In Anaheim, we went from a nothing organization where nobody cared, to drafting (players) really well,” he said. “Tim (Murray) was a big part of that. We drafted Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf. We went to the Stanley Cup Final (in 2003) when I hired (former Wing, now Leaf coach) Mike Babcock. We went to Game 7 against New Jersey and lost in New Jersey.” Murray arrived in Ottawa in 2004, but missed an entire season because of the lockout. Murray is still the only modern Senators coach who took the team to a Stanley Cup Final. That 2007 run, he considers a major highlight. The 2016-2017 season was also a memorable one for the Ottawa Senators and Murray. There was plenty of excitement and surprises that didn’t end until the Game 7 double overtime loss to the eventual repeat Stanley Cup champions, the Pittsburgh Penguins, in the eastern final. “Obviously, starting off we weren’t predicted to be a contending hockey team,” said Murray. “But I thought as the year went on we got better. There were a lot of tough games and then making the playoffs and the excitement of winning a couple (of) rounds. The opportunity with Game 7 to move on to the Stanley Cup final, has to be marked as a very good season.” As a general manager, Murray has kickstarted a lot of players’ careers by drafting them. “There have been some surprises and some real disappointments. I think you try to find out is the character of the person. What he behaves like in school, around his parents,
HOME
The old Shawville arena was owned by Ebert Richardson for a period of time. The building, which no longer exists, became known as Richardson’s Rink. Once in a while, a gang would sneak in through the windows for the chance to play indoor hockey. “It was a smaller ice surface,” said Murray. “What that meant was that you had to have skill, you had to be able to control the puck. When I coached - when Boston had the Boston Garden - players had to have the skill because they had to take short passes and quick plays, because people were all over you. You had no room to operate. I always thought the games were better because of that. “Richardson’s Rink was natural ice, small dressing rooms, and a furnace in the rooms to keep you warm and that was it. There was no Zamboni then; most of the time (it was flooded) by a hose. “But Shawville was a great place to grow up,” he said. “Mom cared so much about everything that went on in the family. Dad was in Ottawa working; he probably wasn’t involved early in our life as he could be because of work.” Murray always found time in his off-season to return to summer at the cottage with wife Geri and daughters Heide and Brittany. Son-in-law Don and granddaughters Emma and Addie have spent time there, along with many family and friends. Forty-six years ago, Murray bought the land for $1,800. “People thought I was crazy,” he said. “I’m glad I did it. There was no electricity and no water. We had this big pine tree. We put the drum up in the pine tree, had a motor with a hose. I would go down to start the motor. Geri would wait [until it] started to flood over and I would turn the motor off. That way we would flush toilets. Then we had coal oil lamps and that’s how we started. We were like that for four, five years and then we added power and we grew from that.” Murray’s NHL career took him away from the Shawville area for most the year. In the beginning, teams even travelled on commercial airlines. They flew along with everybody else. Now, it’s a world of difference with teams having their own planes and first class service. The biggest change of all is they can come and go, whenever they want. Yet, no matter how much hockey business there was to do and how far he roamed, Shawville and the Pontiac never seemed to be too far from Murray’s mind. “I don’t get tired talking about home.”

Bob Cressman Apr. 27, 1940-Aug. 28, 2015 Feel no guilt in laughter, he’d know how much you care Feel no guilt in laughter, he’d know how much you care. Feel no sorrow in a smile that he is not here to share. You cannot grieve forever, he would not want you to. He’d hope that you could carry on the way you always do. So, talk about the good times and the way you showed you cared, The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared. Let memories surround you, a word someone may say, Will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day. That brings him back as clearly as though he were still here, And fills you with the feeling that he is always near. For if you keep those moments, you will never be apart, And he will live forever locked safely within your heart. Unknown Always remembered, Judy, Derek, Jon and Lyndsey

Car show volunteers present Barb Darlow of the Arnprior Regional Health Foundation with $1,610 raised from the registration proceeds from the Aug. 7 Arnprior Canada Day Car Show. Front row, from left, are Cailin Walsh- Estabrooks, Talia Walsh-Estabrooks, Matt Clifton, Stephani Skarica, Sebastien Donis and Garry Gowans. Back row, from left to right: Barb Darlow, Marc Lalande, Bonnie Kehoe, Keith Kehoe, Brian Estabrooks, Andre Labelle, Terry Swaine and Holly Maude. Car show volunteers missing from the picture include Chris Skarica, Emily Mackenzie, Michelle Lalande, Melanie Lalande, Derek Burt and Alyssa Stack.
Canada 150 car show features 150 vehicles Following the cancellation of the Arnprior Canada Day Car Show on July 1, the rescheduled Aug. 7 show continued as planned, despite the threat of afternoon showers. The morning of the show started with ominous overcast skies, yet the volunteers prepared with cautious optimism. With the official registration commencing at 9 a.m., the optimism was soon replaced with confidence when more than 50 cars had registered prior to this time. Within a couple hours, last year’s success of 120 registrants was surpassed with 150 cars having passed through the entrance of East Side Mario’s. A significant number of spectators from the community were also in attendance, which helped to generate a buzz at Arnprior’s Hydro Park which had not been seen in decades. “The view from the Madawaska Bridge was impressive,” commented one of the spectators. This buzz ultimately translated to a successful outcome for both the Arnprior Regional Health Foundation and the Arnprior-
Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program Inc. Registration fees totalling $1,610 went directly to the Arnprior Regional Health Foundation, whereas Seniors at Home generated a net profit of $1,325.96 from the barbecue sales and the 50/50 draw. “We were very pleased with the day and the final results of our charity barbecue,” reported Liz Wall, development co-ordinator, Arnprior Braeside McNab Seniors at Home (ABMSH). “I wish to extend a huge thank you, on behalf of the agency and our volunteers, to Janet Forsyth and staff of East Side Mario’s, Lynn Grinstead and staff of MyFM 107.7 Oldies, Glenn Arthur and staff of Nick Smith Centre, our volunteers and staff who made it possible for us to host the barbecue, to everyone who stopped by for lunch and supported the 50/50 draw and finally, Brian Estabrooks, car show co-ordinator and his group of volunteers for making us feel part of the team. “I trust we will see everyone back next year.” Given the overwhelming success of the
August long weekend car show, numerous individuals commented to show organizer Brian Estabrooks, that the annual Canada Day Car Show should be permanently moved to the August date. “The prospect of breaking a 38-year Canada Day tradition would be a difficult decision, however the success of the August show easily surpassed that of previous Canada Day shows of the last decade,” he said. “When the awards ceremony crowd was asked about such a change, there was a loud cheer in favour of the date change. Needless to say, the car show stakeholders will have further debate in the coming months, before making such a decision.” Estabrooks would like to thank the shows sponsors, the Town of Arnprior and all the volunteers that helped to make the event such a success. In particular, a thank you to the ArnpiorSubmitted Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program Car show volunteer Holly Maude tries out this cusInc. for their barbecue services and Oldies 107.7 for setting up their broadcast for the tom designed Coca-Cola cooler-trailer, which is owned by Ron Lipke of Pembroke. day.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

The house would be hopping when relatives came to visit Mother never seemed to be concerned about the number of people who would descend on our farm to spend the weekend. Goodness knows there wasn’t much sleeping room, with only four beds in the whole house to put down the seven of us in our own family! It wasn’t unusual for three or four carloads of relations to arrive at the same time, and Mother greeted them with open arms, and as suitcase after suitcase was unloaded, you didn’t have to be the sharpest knife in the drawer to know they planned on staying overnight! This onslaught of visitors usually came when Mother’s brother, Uncle Lou, was arriving from New York. Father would say it was like someone had sent out a carrier pigeon with the news to our relatives in Montreal, Ottawa, and sometimes even as far away as St. Catharines, that Uncle Lou was coming, and that was all it took. Aunt Vanetta, Uncle Johnny, Aunt
Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
Lil, Uncle Dick, and my cousin Richard would be the first to arrive from Ottawa, and always they brought dinner rolls, a store-bought cake from the bakery and bags of oranges and bananas. Aunt Vanetta, who I thought was the picture of the Queen, came wearing a fancy hat, and it never left her head, except when she sat down for a meal. As aunts, uncles and cousins arrived I would wonder where everyone was going to sleep. But that seemed to be the least of Mother’s worries. We younger ones would be bedded down crossways in
a bed. sometimes as many as five or six of us, and of course, Aunt Vanetta and Uncle Johnny got Mother and Father’s bed, being the most senior of the visitors. Meals were served right from the stove, everyone loading his plate, and heading for a chair either inside, or out in the grape arbour. And the old Findlay Oval fair jumped all weekend, with the oven full of roasts or chickens, and with potatoes and vegetables cooked in the preserving kettles instead of the pots we usually used. Once the supper meal was cleared away, the real festivities began. Mother, Grandfather and Mother’s brothers, sang at the top of their lungs, and to me it sounded just like a choir coming off the movie screen I once saw in the O’Brien theatre in Renfrew. And as the evening wore on, they were spurred on by the tumblers of homemade brew Father brought up from the cellar. Where they came from, I had no
idea, but sometime during the early evening, my brother Everett would go outside with the older cousins, and put up two large tents. There were no cots or beds inside, but feather covers and quilts would be used for mattresses, and sometime during the night, the overflow would wander out, find a spot to lie down, and settle in for a few hours sleep. The next day, the party would start all over again. To me, having car loads of relatives come for a weekend, was even better than a trip into the Renfrew fair! On Sunday, of course, Aunt Vanetta would insist on being driven into Renfrew for mass. And again, the music and singing would start. I would find a place to sit where I could watch my mother, her brothers and Grampa with their voices raised in song, and I would think we were the luckiest family in the entire world. Such talent, I would think. I dreaded when it was time for them
to pack up their cars and head out. They wouldn’t go empty-handed. The back seats in the cars would be filled with trussed-up chickens, meat from the smoke house, potatoes and vegetables from the garden, and Father would make sure that each car went out the lane with a bottle of his homemade brew. The tents would be down, and long after they were gone, I could hear voices in my head. It took a few days to put the house back in order, and all that was left to remind us of their visit, were a couple bananas and an orange. But best of all, Mother would be humming and full of joy, and for those few days, her longing for her beloved New York would be forgotten. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?
