Greater Madawaska Arnprior has highest child mayor injured in poverty rate in Renfrew county ATV crash Saturday DEREK DUNN

TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com
Greater Madawaska Mayor Glenda McKay was seriously injured in an ATV crash on Saturday, Aug. 26. The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is continuing to investigate the collision, which occurred on private property. No charges will be laid, say OPP. McKay was airlifted to hospital with critical injuries after the single-vehicle ATV crash on Saturday. Officers responded at approximately 5:50 p.m. on to the property on Southside Way in the Township of Greater MadaGLENDA McKAY waska. On Sunday her condition was upgraded to stable. According to the police re- lost control and was ejected. Technical Collision Investigalease, the mayor was operating the ATV when the vehicle ac- tors are assisting with the invescelerated uncontrollably and she tigation, says the release.
A report due out in September will show that Arnprior has the highest child poverty rate in Renfrew county. “Arnprior is the highest, which shocked me,” said Lyn Smith of Renfrew County Child Poverty Action Network (CPAN). “It was Pembroke, then Renfrew, then Arnprior.” The latest from Statistics Canada, a 2011 report, showed 28.7 per cent of all Arnprior children under the age of 18 lived below the poverty line. The number jumps to 36.6 per cent for children between newborn and age 5. “Several of our families in Renfrew county live in deep poverty, like $9,000 below the poverty line,” Smith added. Mayor David Reid said he isn’t that surprised. The three urban areas cited above are hubs for low-income people because they are the only places with rent-geared-to-income housing for families, and are close to services and schools for people with transportation challenges. Reid acknowledges Arnprior has its fair share of low-income housing.
“We understand that we have to provide opportunities for all families to feel included and to do the best to raise their families.” He has a CPAN study showing Arnprior with 17 per cent lone-parent households compared to the county’s 13.9 per cent. And the percentage of the population between the ages of zero and 14 is 15.3 in Arnprior, 14.2 in Pembroke, and 13.1 in the town of Renfrew. “I have asked that staff do some preliminary work on the child poverty issue in Arnprior and Renfrew county,” Reid said. “It is our intent to reach out to CPAN and the county, at some point, to see what Arnprior may be able to do - as a lower tier municipality - to assist in addressing this issue.” The town has numerous advisory committees. Smith said she would join one dedicated to poverty reduction. She would also like to see the town advocate for an increase to the minimum wage (two thirds of those in poverty are working, one-third at fulltime jobs). She said the town should also write a submission to the provincial government asking to bring living-wage legislation in town. The town could be an advocate for
Pharmacare. “I’d be happy to come and talk to him about it,” she said. “And I’d be very happy to be on that committee.” CPAN is located Pembroke at The Phoenix Centre for Children and Families. It is not associated with Phoenix and receives no government funding. The money it does raise is largely from Pembroke, Petawawa, and Deep River areas. A disproportionate amount is spent on services in Arnprior, she said. A major fundraiser for CPAN is the current back to school program Tools for School. They provide backpacks necessary materials for students. Each completed backpack costs $75. This year, CPAN is asking individuals and local businesses to donate $150 to sponsor two children. When complete – through barbecue fundraisers or other means – they are encouraged to call out others on social media to do the same; similar to the ice bucket challenge. She also praised Jerome Taylor of Arnprior’s Canadian Tire Store for doing so much to address poverty. He runs the local Jumpstart program that helps kids get into activities ranging from swimming to scouts to summer camps.

An Arnprior woman is reminding the public to beware toxic wild parsnip after she was recently burned by the plant. Carolyn Moore said people should be aware of what the plant looks like so they can avoid it. “I can tell you from personal experience it is not pleasant whatsoever,” said Moore. “I broke out in welts and it was so painful.” At the hospital, she was given a topical solution that eventually helped but said people
should become familiar with the plant so they can avoid it. Wild parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) is an invasive plant that is increasingly common within the County of Renfrew in areas of uncultivated land, roadside ditches, nature trails, as well as on and surrounding rural and residential properties. Wild parsnip may pose a health risk to humans. The plant sap contains chemicals that may cause skin and eye irritation and make the skin prone to burning and blistering when exposed to the sun. The
blisters typically occur one to two days after contact with the plant. This can result in longterm scarring of the skin. The best way to avoid contact with wild parsnip is to become familiar with what the plant looks like so you do not accidentally come in contact with the plant. Further information can be obtained from: http://www. invadingspecies.com/invaders/ plants-terrestrial/wild-parsnip/ and http://www.omafra.gov. on.ca/english/crops/facts/ontweeds/wild_parsnip.htm .
Renfrew county proposals less ambulance service to city DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
Ambulances could be in Arnprior and other Renfrew County communities ready to respond to emergencies more often if the province agrees to a new model. Right now paramedics respond to about 300 calls per year within the City of Ottawa limits. That’s because provincial rules say the nearest ambulance must respond. If the ambulance responsible for West Carleton is dropping a patient off at The Ottawa Hospital, Arnprior’s will have to respond to Carp or Dunrobin or elsewhere. That leaves Arnprior with no local service for what could be a long time, if it is held up at a city hospital. An ambulance from Renfrew or elsewhere then becomes responsible for Arnprior. It has long been a thorny issue for wardens and local politicians in the county. Last year alone the county did 370 calls in Ottawa, according to Chief Paramedic Michael Nolan. However, Nolan has proposed to the county’s health committee that ambulances only respond to unconscious or cardiac arrest patients. There were 15 of those cases last year.
Janice Visneskie Moore, mayor of the Township of Killaloe-Hagarty-Richards, is chairwoman of the county’s health committee. She is confident both the committee and council as a whole will vote in favour of Nolan’s proposal. “This is to the benefit of the people of Renfrew county. That is who we serve,” Visneskie Moore said. “We don’t mind being the good neighbour and all that, but we are responsible to the people of Renfrew county.” She is “hoping” the provincial government will approve the new arrangement, which is also being proposed by other municipalities bordering Ottawa. “We are hoping that once they see it that they will view it as a new door to solve this problem,” she said. She hasn’t spoken to RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski on the matter. Asked about the financial savings, Visneskie Moore was less sure. It would be good for county taxpayers, but the main point is residents have service. “There’s huge monetary value, but also we’ll be able to provide a better service.” Nolan’s original hope was to have the new plan in place by Sept. 1. He is now aiming for Oct. 1.

OPP arrest suspects after foot chase DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

OPP from the Renfrew detachment were busy responding to two break-and-enters on the morning of Aug. 24.

Janice Sawbridge. “They fled in a white Mazda.� A home was then broken into in the Pine Grove Road area just outside Arnprior. A male and female fled on foot, Sawbridge said. The car was recovered in a nearby ditch with damage to the passenger side. Several police vehicles descended on the scene, including the K-9 unit and emergency response team (whose members wear military fatigues). “Two suspects were subsequently located and arrested in a bush area,� Sawbridge said. They were not carrying guns, but OPP is investigating possible missing firearms from the break and enters. They are waiting on a warrant to search the vehicle. “We are really happy to say we arrested two people,� she said. “They are not from this area.� The two are from Clarence Rockland, east of Ottawa, and await a bail hearing.

Your Hospital Admission Process
Arnprior Regional Health believes that together, we create a healthy community. An outstanding health care experience is a shared responsibility between our care team and our community members. Playing an active role in your health includes being informed so that you can make good decisions about the care you and your family receives.
Admission
Your first couple of hours in the hospital will require a lot of patience on your part. You will be asked questions about your health history, current medications, your diagnosis, and your health care insurance. There is a good chance that more than one person will ask you these questions. Prior to diving into your medical history, staff are expected to acknowledge you by name, introduce themselves, let you know how long any medical tests will take, and then explain the procedure or process to you. We do this to make all patients feel at ease and informed of what is happening.
OHIP vs. Private Coverage Hospital rooms will include your basic necessities for daily living. We have the option of Ward (4 beds), Semi -private (2 beds) or Private Accommodation (Single bed). During the admission process you will be asked what type of accommodation you prefer and whether or not you have additional private healthcare insurance. OHIP covers Ward accommodation only. It is important to know what your coverage is prior to being admitted. You also have the option of self pay preferred accommodation (Semi-Private or Private room)

If you do not observe a staff member washing their hands before treating you, please remind them to wash their hands. Good hand hygiene is an effective measure to prevent health care-associated infections (HAIs) and limit the spread of germs. When you are admitted to our Inpatient Unit you or your loved one will be required to complete admission forms and select the appropriate accommodation. It is important to check with your insurance company to verify your personal plan coverage and limits (both annual and lifetime). For example Semi-private coverage may have a maximum daily rate, meaning you would then be responsible for paying the balance yourself.
Health Cards & OHIP
Please ensure you bring your Health Card for each visit. Registration staff must verify that our records are correct and up-to-date. In addition, the computer checks the eligibility of your health card. Invalid cards do show up on our computer system. Services not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) are the personal responsibility of the patient. Your photo health card has an expiry date that is linked to your date of birth. The expiry date can be anywhere from two to seven years in the future. Renewal notices for photo health cards are mailed approximately two months prior to expiry.

Jiu Jitsu academy to offer bully-proofing program DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
A bully-proofing program opens in Arnprior in September with an instructor who is one of a handful in the country certified by Gracie Academy. Registration opens Sept. 1 at Nick Smith Centre during regular business hours for Gracie Bullyproof, a non-violent, self-defence based program meant to give children the confidence and tools to stand up for themselves. “We teach children to diffuse confrontations with verbal assertiveness and to neutralize a threat without punching or kicking if they are attacked,” reads Arnprior Gracie Jiu Jitsu’s website. “Essentially we teach your children to fight fire with water.” The California based academy, established in 1925, was founded by the Gracie family of Bra-
zil. Royce Gracie is a UFC Hall of Famer considered by many fans to be the most influential figure in the history of modern mixed-martial arts (MMA). However, the bully-proofing program in Arnprior has little to do with the punching, kicking and blood-soaked mat seen in the octagon cage. Some of what they do is “verbal assertiveness and training” during role-playing. Learning mount control (how to be on top of the opponent) is also included. “There is no striking or choking,” instructor Kyle Donnelly said of the Bullyproof program. “We teach non-violent self-defence. You don’t learn to fight but gain the confidence to stand up and control the bully until an adult arrives. “One thing that sets the Gracie Bullyproof program apart is the character development program.” His method involves using natural body

movements, energy efficiency, and punch protection. “We talk about what really happens when a bully wants to punch you,” he said, adding that karate was too unrealistic for him to teach to his own children. That’s what drew him to Gracie. Donnelly moved to Arnprior almost four years ago with his young family. He grew up practicing karate and competed on the varsity wrestling team at the University of Guelph. He has been training Gracie Jiu Jitsu for the last three years. In that time he has earned his blue belt under Rener and Ryron Gracie and completed the intensive instructor certification
program. It included him travelling to California for the final exam. Bullyproof classes are broken up by age: four to seven, eight to 12, and 13 to adult. Classes will take place at the Arnprior Curling Club two nights a week. The Town of Arnprior approves of the program, as do a few local service groups and the town’s safety council. The one-hour class costs roughly $7.20 or more, depending on age and other factors. Class sizes are capped at 40 participants. Free trial classes will be offered to children and adults. Classes start Sept. 20. For more, see arnpriorgjj.com.

Canada should focus on its issues The events in Charlottesville, Virginia where a clash between white nationalists and counter protesters turned violent and deadly have exposed the racial divisions that still exist in the United States. That such racism is still percolating in the United States is depressing, especially after the country elected its first black president in Barack Obama, seemingly closing in on the end of such racism. Then along came Donald Trump and suddenly racism has blossomed again in that society. Racism seems so Neanderthal-like when it happens. But sometimes there is no rationale for human behaviour. For instance, there’s lots of evidence of the health dangers from smoking. Yet people smoke. There’s much scientific evidence of the adverse impact of climate change on the world. And yet some continue to deny its existence. So, we humans are a doubting bunch – move over, St. Thomas! And yet, why does racism continue to hold such sway over us humans? Before we Canadians get on some high horse on this matter, let us not forget our attitude towards Jews in pre-war decades, our treatment of Japanese Canadians in the Second World War and, most depressingly, our residential schools’
history and our treatment of indigenous peoples in general. We are far from innocent on this human rights/racism file. We view ourselves as a nation that values equality and fair treatment of all. But while these attitudes can be legislated and preached, the challenge remains to wipe racism from the thoughts and actions of our society. The United States, as the events in Charlottesville show, has not eliminated racism in that society. And we in Canada, given our current ineffective grappling with our indigenous legacy, find ourselves in a similar scenario. Let the States worry about its situation, Hopefully its racism will be eliminated someday. But for us, we should resolve our indigenous quandary. Politicians continue to talk about the issue but we need action and we need it now! Let’s get it resolved so that we can all go forward together as a true society that not only talks the talk but walks the walk when it comes to fairness and equality and universal respect for one and all. We have seen in Charlottesville what happens when racism and bigotry are allowed to fester. That’s not the route that we as Canadians should travel. Rather, let’s get done what needs to be done and let’s get it done now.
Minimum wage increase is a common sense issue How much more evidence is needed? To the editor;
I’m not sure what was more appalling about the recent editorial about minimum wage increases, the absence of math or the absence of basic economics. First, if it’s the Canadian way to push a minimum wage increase of this magnitude on to every business in Canada then I must have missed the part about living in a democracy. What hypocrisy. This newspaper uses boys and girls ages 10 to 13 to deliver its papers, and, at what, $2 maybe $3 per hour? I’m guessing a new policy is in the works where older students are hired at $15 per hour to deliver papers and mileage paid as well, it’s the Canadian way right? Newspapers all across the world have had to lay off thousands of employees because the bottom line of all business has to be met.

But, your editorial states that it’s up to large and small businesses to ante up and pay more for unskilled labour. Ok, fine, and here’s where math and economics comes in. To a small business the addition of costs mean that either, the product they make has to go up, the amount of employees they have on payroll has to go down, or, the cost of business has to go down, and that would mean less advertising, less charitable donations, etc. You see, no business, small or large “absorbs” cost increases, that’s just a silly thing to say, consumers absorb costs increases, always have, always will. The final issue I have with the editorial is, you fail to address the root cause of trying to live on minimum wage. Education. The education in this country and in this province fails our children. Why are so many young people
working for minimum wage and not moving into better paying jobs? The answer is education. The average welder in Ontario is 58 years old, a qualified welder should make $35 per hour, and this is the same for most trades. Why are so many students attending Liberal arts schools when upon graduation they have absolutely very little skills to offer most businesses. I agree that a fair wage is important to every Canadian, but, the answer is not increasing the minimum wage from $11 to $15 per hour. The answer is for one political party to have the courage to offer up an answer to our abysmal education system and offer our children better choices. This is not a left or right issue, its a common sense issue. Bill Griese Arnprior

When Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant stood alone in the House of Commons to vote against the Paris Climate Accord, I thought she stood alone here in the Valley, but no, some people actually applauded her courage. Courage, some might call it, but in reality it is ignorance. Her climate change denial is as ignorant as the U.S. president who claims it is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese and Frank Scheer claims it is a hoax to fund poor countries. Help, I think I am living in Cloud Cuckoo Land! How much more evidence is needed? BC salmon numbers are down for many reasons and one is the warmer water caused by increased CO2.

shelves in Antarctica are splitting and breaking off. Islands all over the world will be under water if changes are not made. Weather upheavals are happening throughout the world. Polar bears are starving because of the receding ice shelves. This is a small sample of climate change as a result of global warming which is man-made due to our reliance on fossil fuels. We must all reduce our carbon footprints for the sake of our children and grandchildren and not let hysterical climate deniers ignore real modern science. I understand they would all be welcome additions to the next Flat Earth Society meeting, that is, if they do not go too far and fall off the edge! Mary-Joan Hale Calabogie

Farm leaders send message to NAFTA negotiations on behalf of Canadian farmers RENFREW COUNTY NATIONAL FARMERS UNION
Tim Tabbert, president of the Renfrew County National Farmers Union said as the first round of talks to renegotiate NAFTA have wound up, organizations from Canada, the U.S. and Mexico are concerned about the possible talks. Despite repeated demands by civil society organizations in all three countries, the governments have refused to open talks to the public or to publish proposed negotiating texts. All signs point to negotiations designed to increase agribusiness exports and corporate control over the food system, rather than to support fair and sustainable trade and farming systems. Tabbert noted Jan Slomp, the president of the National Farmers Union (NFU), has recently reported that under NAFTA and its forerunner, the Canada-US FTA, farm
Letter guidelines
input costs have gone up and inflation-adjusted commodity prices have dropped, yet the farmer’s share of the grocery dollar is smaller. “We export more, but imports have increased faster, which means our share of our own domestic market is actually shrinking,” Slomp said. Farms in Renfrew County are experiencing this same decline, Tabbert said. Jim Goodman, a Wisconsin dairy farmer and member of the National Family Farm Coalition agreed. “Federal and state governments and Land Grant Universities, at the behest of the dairy industry, have done all they can to encourage the U.S. dairy farmers to produce more milk, never questioning how much milk might be too much or how the subsequent cheap prices affect farmers. “We cannot expect Canada, at the expense of their dairy farmers, to bail us out,” Good-

man said. He added: “Farmers, whether U.S. or Canadian, are nothing more than part of the machine to the industry and NAFTA. That’s the way free trade works.” Tabbert added, the first round of talks in Washington concluded with a media statement. “There is a great deal of work to be done in order to upgrade this NAFTA deal.” The leaders of the NFU (Canada) and farm organizations from the US and Mexico continue to work to send a strong message, he said. “The message is that the goal of the NAFTA deal should be to restore national sovereignty over food and farm policy to support local farming communities. “The Canadian supply management is part of that farm policy and food sovereignty and must not be negotiated,” Tabbert concluded.

August is wolf howl season MICHAEL RUNTZ Nature’s Way
August is one of my favourite months for several reasons. One is that by its end, the biting insects start disappearing. Another is that the nights are deliciously cool and the days clear and bright. And last but not least, Algonquin wolves are howling. Of course, wolves howl all year long. Howling is how wolves communicate not only to fellow pack members but also to other wolves. Howls are audible “no trespassing” signs that tell other wolves where property limits reside. Wolves howl to tell pack members their location, and to no doubt convey other information. Howling also seems to play a role in social bonding in a pack. Why is August better for hearing wolves howl? One reason is that the night air is cooler and calm, and sound carries better under those conditions. Another is that wolf packs take up residence then in “rendezvous sites.” At rendezvous sites pups are left to play and rest while adults go hunting. Pups howl a lot and do not discriminate between the howls of pack members and stray wolves or their impostors, and reply to either with equal enthusiasm. A rendezvous site (named for the reuniting of adults
and pups at the site) can be used for days, weeks, or even months. In August, because wolves reply readily to human howls and rendezvous sites are in use, Algonquin Park holds Public Wolf Howls, events in which attendees are taken out to hear Eastern Wolves reply to human howls. The Wolf Howls are world famous, with more than a thousand people taking part in one event. I used to take part in the Howls when I worked in Algonquin as a summer naturalist. Since 1993 I have conducted my own Howls in Bonnechere Provincial Park and in more recent years also at Achray in eastern Algonquin. Last weekend I held Wolf Howls in both parks, and had responses from wolves on both events. Prior to the Howls I searched for wolves and had great success, locating three rendezvous sites, one situated along the shores of a remote beaver pond. After quietly sneaking in prior to dawn and patiently waiting for an hour, I was rewarded by seeing an adult wolf stroll into view and howl. The wolf was wearing a radio transmitter, placed there by an OMNRF biologist. After a two-hour wait the second day, three pups wandered into view and howled. I was silently ecstatic as my camera clicked away. Another rendezvous site was lo-

August is an excellent month for hearing Eastern Wolves howl in Algonquin Park, especially pups like these.” cated along the shores of another beaver pond. This one, however, lacked any good vantage point for observation or photography. As I first snuck stealthily through the woods toward the pond, a wolf pup wandered within three metres of me, completely unaware of my presence. Unfortunately it was too close to photograph and vegetation blocked my view as it wandered away. The memory of its oversized head peeking through the Bracken ferns so close to me is one that will never fade away. Wolves are uncommon, elusive animals and hearing them sing their wild music is always an exciting privilege. Having one approach so near you can almost touch its fur is an indescribable thrill.

New veteran wing at Willis College named after local veteran TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com
The new veteran wing of Willis College in Arnprior has been officially named the Joan Bray Veteran Learning Centre. Bray, a Second World War veteran and longtime resident of Carleton Place, will travel to Arnprior in September for a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Always one to shy away from the glare of publicity, Bray, immediately wanted to know: “Why me?” and “How did they find me?” “It was imperative for us to find a veteran from the area, especially a female veteran who would suit the naming of the new wing,” Willis College intake co-ordinator Dan Planetta told the Canadian Gazette on June 15, during a visit to Bray’s home. “Women have always had a deep impact on our services.” After reading a story about Bray online, Planetta submitted her name to the national director of the Veteran Friendly Transition Program (VFTP), Lt.-Gen (retired) Walter Semianiw. “He later came into my office, put her file on my desk and exclaimed ‘that’s our girl’,” Planetta said with a smile. “To find her in Carleton Place was a dream.” Lt.-Gen (retired) Andrew Leslie announced the VFTP on March 23 on Parliament Hill. The program combines career counselling, personal and professional support, as well as course offerings, all under one roof, simplifying the transition process for veteran students. The founder of VFTP, Rima Aris-

Above, from left: Carleton Place Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn -- Bray’s son-in-law; Willis College intake co-ordinator Dan Planetta; Bray’s youngest daughter, Debbie McVie; VFTP outreach and stakeholder program support director Caroline Matthews; Bray; VFTP founder and Willis College president and chief executive officer Rima Aristocrat; and VFTP outreach and stakeholder program support director and Willis College financial controller Bernard Doyle. tocrat, said that “following their service to Canada, a number of veterans retire; however, many transition to civilian work.” “This transition is not always easy,” she said. Veterans face varying social, academic and financial challenges in find-
ing employment and establishing a new career. Developed by and for veterans, the VFTP is currently offered by way of the Arnprior and Ottawa campuses of Willis College. “This is a pilot project ... Willis College is the first post-secondary in-
stitution in Canada to work with the VFTP,” Planetta said. “However, the goal of the VFTP is to be in selected educational institutions across the country.” The VFTP launched in Ottawa on May 29, and it will be ready to go in Arnprior on Sept. 25. In addition to establishing the VFTP, Aristocrat is the president and chief executive officer of Willis College. “I have been with Willis (College) for 28 years,” she said, and “nothing is as humbling as what I am doing with veterans.” Willis College did its own test program for veterans two years ago. “When I talk to veteran students, when I hear their stories ... it is so important that we do our part,” Aristocrat said. “We are making a difference in the lives of veterans.” The VFTP also supports members of Royal Canadian Mounted Police and provincial police forces. In addition to Aristocrat and Planetta, two other representatives from Willis College and the VFTP visited Bray at her home on June 15, Bernard Doyle and Caroline Matthews. Doyle is the financial controller at Willis College and the VFTP outreach and stakeholder program support director. Matthews, a retired petty officer (second class), is the VFTP veteran support co-ordinator. Since the VFTP announcement in March, there is keen interest from British Columbia to Nova Scotia, according to Planetta. “It (program) has grown by leaps and bounds since then,” he added.
“Look at its website and see the partnerships that have developed so quickly.” Some of these partnerships are the Veterans Emergency Transition Service (VETS) Canada, Wounded Warriors Canada and the Veteran’s Benevolent Fund, just to name a few. Planetta stressed, “Rima and General Semianiw are working hard and pushing the VFTP to be what it is becoming.” Creation of the Joan Bray Veteran Learning Centre started on June 19, and it took approximately two weeks. The 1,400 square foot space encompasses two classrooms, a student lounge and Matthews’ office. “The VFTP is not just about veterans coming to Willis College for an education,” Planetta said. “It is about making sure their transition into civilian life works.” “I have been a petty officer, I have taken a leadership course, but what does that mean and where does it get me in civilian life,” Matthews remarked. “The military is your family. ... You are told what to do, where to be and even what to wear,” she continued. “I can honestly say the very first day I came to Willis College I moved into another family.” “Caroline understands,” Bray said. “She has been there, she has done that.” “As soon as they (veterans) hear Caroline is a vet, the wall goes down,” Doyle noted. “I supported my country in the past, but I am still offering support by helping veterans,” Matthews said.

Photography workshop at High Lonesome Nature Reserve Sept. 17 Ready to get re-inspired about photography and the natural world, or just learn more about the craft? Join naturalist and photographer Simon Lunn on Sunday, Sept. 17, as he shares his passion for photography at High Lonesome Nature Reserve in the Pakenham Hills. This special opportunity is limited to 12 people. This four-hour outdoor-based, hands-on workshop will highlight basic photographic techniques, as well as explore how you can capture that image in creative ways and from different perspectives. Lunn will be demonstrating some hands-on scenarios and passing on a few tips of the trade throughout the workshop. If you have a tip you think other participants should know about, you are encouraged to share it with the group. Although the workshop should appeal most to budding and intermediate photographers, there should be opportunities for all to learn. Whether you use a point-and-shoot camera, DSLR or smartphone, bring it along. Lunn will be available after the workshop to answer questions on a one-onone basis. Lunn’s interest in the outdoors and passion for photography came early in life. He was lucky — his parents gave him a Brownie camera and introduced him to a photographic darkroom when he was a young lad, then took the family on outdoor field trips throughout rural areas of Ontario. The various jobs that later formed the early part of Simon’s career included photographing landscapes and plants and animals in their natural habitats, and then sharing the images through slide presentations to park visitors. After graduating from Acadia University with a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in the 1970s, Lunn enjoyed a series of summer jobs with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Canadian Wildlife Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Parks Canada. His first full-time

We pride ourselves in bringing to you one of the oldest forms of live family entertainment.” The show runs on Monday, Sept. 4 at 4:30 and again at 7 p.m. at the Arnprior Fairgrounds in Arnprior and on Tuesday, Sept. 5 at 4:30 and again at 7 p.m. at MaTe-Way Park in Renfrew and Tickets start at $10 and are available online at www.benjaminscircus.com .
job as a park naturalist at Kejimkujik National Park in Nova Scotia was followed by a 30-year career with Parks Canada. He worked variously as a park planner, park interpreter and visitor services officer for national parks across Canada, including Cape Breton Highlands, Fundy, Kouchibouguac, PEI, and Waterton Lakes National Parks. He retired in 2004, following an 18-year stint with the Rideau Canal as an interpretation planner, visitor services officer and ecosystem scientist. More recently, Lunn has shared his images with various magazines, tourism agencies, cable TV stations, government agencies and non-profit organizations, and engaged his talents in the form of local photography work-
shops and community presentations. Some of his other interests include travelling, hiking, camping, canoeing and kayaking, Citizen Science and volunteering for organizations such as the Rideau Waterway and Mississippi Madawaska Land Trusts. Registration for the workshop starts at 10 a.m. Tickets are $75 per person and can be purchased by credit card or direct debit through the ticket order form at https://mmlt.ca/event/photographyworkshop-with-simon-lunn.

EMA LEE FASHIONS CELEBRATES FOURTEEN YEARS! BREAKING NEWS HOT OFF THE PRESS Ema lee Fashions is still opened and celebrating their fourteenth year! We are not ready to retire yet and our business etiquette would be to politely announce it to our many loyal customers old and new Everyone knows that the store is located seven kilometers north of Perth on Hwy 511 in the hamlet of Downtown Balderson. What people don’t know is why Ema Lee Fashions is not your typical everyday boutique. What makes it different? It’s the people! Here are a few examples: Fourteen years ago when we first opened Mr. and Mrs. Steve Clyne came into the store. He brought his guitar, sat in the “husbands chair” and played and sang while his wife shopped. This still happens! Customers come in; looked puzzled and then I can hear them humming to the same tune that he is playing. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Clyne! The late Miner Bell told me stories about the dances that took place in our building and how the nickelodeon machine would play “Irene Goodnight” over and over again. Men come in with their wives and tell how they use to deliver to my store when it was George Myers General Store or worked here years ago making Cheese and collecting milk. Others come in and within five minutes of talking, there is some kind of connection with history of family members that used to live in this beautiful area.
A McDougal family use to own the store and their family members from Oshawa told the story about how scarlet fever hit. They had to close the store because people were afraid to go near them. A McLaren family member from Alberta brought in framed photos and newspaper articles about their Grandmother Lillian Cameron being the first telephone operator in Balderson. A gentleman by the name of Dalton Bradley dropped off two of his wives hats to add to my vintage hat collection. She had been a nurse at the Ottawa Civic Hospital. Then one day a customer came in and asked where did you get that hat? When I explained, she said that she had been with her mother the day that she had bought it and was pleased to see it on display. She was Mr. Bradley’s daughter.
courage and strength. What an inspiration! There has also been a lot of laughter at Ema Lee Fashions especially the days when the late Mrs. Ora Paul came in. Just when I was taking life too seriously or upset when someone tried to return a bathing suit at the end of the season, Ora actually helped me keep my act together. Thanks Ora. I’ve watched children grow up and come back to shop and show me their wedding or graduation pictures. I’ve met 100-103 years old ladies full of spunk come in and buy their Birthday Party Bling. One of the told me ‘My dear it’s all in the attitude!
So we are not only celebrating fourteen years in business but celebrating the journey of meeting such wonderful, interesting caring people at Ema Lee Fashions. More Two customers from Perth than a ladies fashion store! heard that my grandson was very ill As many customers have said ‘if back in 2008. They placed his name on a prayer list across Canada and you can’t find something to wear the US. That was nine years ago. here you are not shopping. Thank you! This Labour Day weekend I have seen customers with from Thursday to Monday we are medical conditions that chose to having our fourteenth anniversary carry on and fight with dignity, celebration sale.

Arnprior choir welcomes more members for new season September is right around the corner, and the Arnprior Community Choir is busy getting ready to start its new season of making joyous choral music under its founding director of music, Lisa Webber. Membership in the choir is open to all adults
who love to sing and who are willing to commit to the “team sport” of choral singing. And don’t be concerned if you’re not sure whether you are a soprano, alto, tenor, or bass -- Lisa will help you decide. Should you decide to join the choir, you will

be asked to make a commitment to attend all rehearsals held on Tuesday nights from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch on Daniel Street. These rehearsals will be for public performances in December 2017 and May 2018 and for various presentations at community functions, fundraisers, and seniors’ gatherings. But it’s not just all about rehearsing. Gettogethers, such as dinners and socials, are also held as a way for new members to feel welcome and to meet long-time choir members. Also, following on the success of last year’s workshop, choir members will be able to attend another one-day music workshop and lunch this coming season. And here’s an unknown fact about choir singing that might convince you to join: Research has shown that singing in a choir has many mental health benefits. Studies have found that when compared with singing alone or playing team
sports, choristers stood out as experiencing the greatest benefit. Along with this benefit, members of the Arnprior Community Choir have said that they also feel healthier, create friendships, expand their understanding of various sorts of music, and learn effective techniques of singing, with lots of fun thrown in, thanks to Lisa. So if this interests you, please check us out at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 12 and 19 at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 74, 49 Daniel St. N. At those two rehearsals, you can participate and decide if you would like to register. Registration for the fall season closes on Sept. 19. Fees are $60 for one session, and $110 for fall and spring sessions when paid in September. For more information, please visit our website at www.arnpriorcommunitychoir.com or call music director Lisa Webber at 613-623-7293 or choir manager Marilyn Campbell at 613-6245242.

First day of school tough for both students and parents This year my son, John, starts his first day of school in Renfrew County. The emotions are overwhelming, for sure. He has had great experiences at home-based daycares and I am thankful for the last year he Tiffany’s Take has been at a daycare centre. I am confident he knows how to get his coat Honestly, I don’t think he knows what is and shoes on, line up, sit in a circle and more; the centre experience has certainly prepared him coming. He knows where his school is and every time well.

we drive by, he says, “That’s going to be my school.” We are working together to do everything possible to prepare him, including recognizing his name (he can spell it, too) and opening the tough lunch boxes. But, you have to ask yourself: is it all really enough? Kindergarten sure has changed since I went to school; all he can remember from the orientation is that he will get to play with iPads. Please, let there be more than just iPads, right? As we remind him to listen, share and say “please” and “thank you,” I ask myself: have I equipped him with the proper tools to succeed — not only in school, but in life? He is a strong and resilient four-year-old, and it is probably more me than him who is really nervous. LUNCH TIME
I have been very stressed about what type of lunch kit to buy and send with him, as silly as that is. I must admit, I have purchased three: one small, medium and large. I have taught him how to open each and hope they all fit in his backpack. I’m sure he hopes he finds the Batman lunch
kit and not the plain blue kit, each labelled with his first and last name, as I hope he doesn’t lose it all the first week. All I really hope is he eats a balanced meal and snacks during the day. LOOK AROUND
They say all you really need to know, you learned in kindergarten: share, play fair, don’t hit, put things back where you found them, clean up your own mess, don’t take things that are not yours, say sorry when you hurt someone, the golden rule, wash your hands, flush, dance/ play/work everyday and look. They are such simple concepts that we should all embrace — not just kindergartners, but everyone going back to school and big kids, too. In today’s society, life can get so busy for adults and children alike. As students of all ages head back to school next week, remember to take time to look around and take it all in. You will always look back at your school days and remember these are the best days of your life. And kids: be kind to each other, your parents and try not to cut your hair by yourself on picture day. Oh, wait, that is probably one of my favourite kindergarten memories.

Wet weather didn’t dampen summer experiences in the Valley If you had to choose one word to describe this year’s summer, chances are you would choose the word “wet.” A recent cartoon put it perfectly: “To think it only rained twice this summer! Once for 45 days and again for 35 days.” That sounds about right … The summer to date has definitely been a soggy one. For many it has made it difficult to get excited about being outside and doing the things we normally associate with summer; hot lazy days on the beach, family camping trips or outdoor adventures followed by local brews and sizzling barbecues on the deck. Luckily, there is no need to lament the dog days of summer. Rain or not, there is never a shortage of activities for you to do in the Ottawa Valley. It is always dry and a comfortable 10 degrees in the Bonnechere Caves. An Ottawa Valley institution, the Caves offers an incredible opportunity to wander paths underground and learn the stories of our earth from knowledgeable tour guides. Wear low heels; pack a picnic lunch, your camera, and your sense of adventure. Looking for indoor adventure? Both Renfrew and Eganville have escape rooms that are fun for folks 12 years and up. Gather up a team and test your mettle as you use elements of the room to solve a series of puzzles, find clues, and escape the room within a set time limit. Renfrew County is home to over 20 museums, each with their own unique collection and programming. The Canadian Clock Museum in Deep River is celebrating 150 years of Canadian clocks with a special tour. The Champlain Trail Museum and Pioneer Village in Pembroke is currently hosting a remarkable exhibit on The Life and Legacy of Sir Arthur Currie. Whichever museum you decide to visit, be sure to ask for a copy of the 2017 Renfrew County Museums Network Passport.

In their 42 years in business, Wilderness Tours has never once cancelled a trip because of the weather! Once out on the water, rafters are going to get wet anyway ... what’s a little bit of rain when you’re bouncing over the mighty rapids of the Ottawa River? Embrace the wet and celebrate the river. After all, the Ottawa Valley is the Whitewater Capital of Canada! Whitewater rafting down the Ottawa River is great fun for anyone 50 lb. and up. For the smaller members of the family, Madawaska Kanu Centre’s family rafting trips down the Madawaska River are just the ticket. Suitable for those aged two years and older, these two hour trips are a great introduction to whitewater adventure. If you are looking for other ideas or recommendations of things to do this summer, be sure to visit one of the 12 Visitor Information Centres (VICs) located throughout Renfrew County. VIC staff underwent a tourism focused Customer Service Workshop and three day Familiarization Tour prior to the summer tourism season.

Mountain Creek Golf Club crowns 2017 club champions WENDY TESSIER Mountain Creek Golf Club
Every year, Mountain Creek, like all other golf courses, posts the club championship rounds inviting every player to sign up in their respective categories: men’s and women’s A, B, C, D, Junior, Senior, and Mixed categories. Why should you sign up and play? Here’s why: It’s an opportunity to support the efforts of your club. Our greens keeper Scott Drummond and his crew worked their hardest to provide excellent conditions for play: deeper roughs, freshly clipped fairways, speedy greens and tricky pin placements. Often, for championship play, you’ll see your own course through different eyes, especially when the stimp meter reads 11! It’s an occasion to test your golfing ability against that of others. Usually a “field” of play is created by defining what handicap ranges will play with one another. So you might find yourself playing with a higher or lower handicapper or more likely, with someone having a similar handicap to yours. No matter. In golf, you are always playing against yourself but playing with other players. It’s a chance to play with younger or older players. Your handicap, your ability, will see you categorized in a field of play which might see a 16 year old playing with a 72 year old. It’s also a chance to play with others who play
The 2017 Mountain Creek Golf Club champions are, from left, Jim Thompson, Larry Bertrand, Sean Rousselle, Connie Deschamps, Trish Glahs, Eric Irons, Tom Sewter and Sylvia Long. better than you do so you can benefit from watching how they play the game. “I’m not a competitive player,” is an often-heard reason why players opt out of playing championship rounds. That’s a bunch of hooey! Every round played in golf is a competitive round because you are always playing yourself, striving for a better drive, a better chip, a better putt, and ultimately, a better score. The difference in championship rounds is that there is the added benefit of pressure. In an average game, you’re usually playing at your comfort level, likely with friends, having a fun round, perhaps trying something different or new. Yet even playing for fun, aren’t you’re trying to do your best? Pressure is a benefit helping you keep your focus for the next few hours while you test your abilities. That there is an air of excitement
on the two championship days (yes, it’s two-day play total score) adds to the butterflies some players say they feel. It gives you a window on how the pros must feel. So when have you tested yourself lately? It’s good to test yourself, for in golf anything can happen! It’s not a foregone conclusion that the lowest handicap player will win. Anyone can encounter difficulties that throw them off their game or require them to make a shot they’ve never made before. Too, a player can “play over their head” meaning, have the best game of their life, a totally unexpected but very happy occurrence. You might play the worst front nine of your life but then have the best back nine. Yes, anything can happen. Anyone might win. Championship play is the golf version of a horse race, and there are often surprises.
Even though it is a competition, it’s also about the camaraderie at the club. One seems to bond even more with fellow competitors when it is the club championship. Our club captain Gary “Crouch” Croucher says, “I always tell players who say they aren’t competitive to come out and experience the atmosphere of the club on that week end. See the joy of those who are proud to have played well even when they may not have won their class but win or lose, it’s good to hear “Congratulations, well done.” “I don’t know the rules well enough,” is another reason players sometimes won’t enter. Does anyone know the rules well enough in golf ? Most of the time, your day to day play will have informed you well enough of the rules which are there, let’s remember, to help you. Should you encounter an unusual situation, this writer would suggest you consult your rules official if your club has provided one, or know you can play two balls. Before you do though, tell your competitor(s) what you’re doing and with which ball you’d like to score. Then finish the hole with both balls and ask a tournament official for a ruling on that hole’s score before you sign and turn in your scorecard. It’s the one time in your life you’ll have a “gallery” for typically, people will be watching you play, most often, on the final hole. Some players are uncomfortable with “being watched” but remember: you’re always being
observed by your two or three fellow players so don’t let the gallery affect your final hole play. And it is nice to hear the applause. Last, not least, it’s another chance to practice golf, possibly lower your handicap, or make a new acquaintance! The Mountain Creek Club Championship was played Aug. 19 and 20 and, thankfully, in great, sunny weather. There was an excellent turn out and here are the Mountain Creek Golf Club Champions for 2017: Men’s Club Champion - Sean Rousselle Ladies Club Champion - Connie Deschamps Men’s B Class Champion - Eric Irons Ladies B Class Champion - Trish Glahs Men’s C Class Champion - Tom Sewter Mens D Class Champion - Larry Bertrand Senior Men’s Champion - Jim Thompson Senior Ladies Champion - Sylvia Long Congratulations to all our winners and to all those who played. Your participation is very much appreciated and your good sportsmanship applauded. Next year, no matter what club you belong to or what level you play, please do consider entering your club championship: it’s a win-win situation!

Looking for lichen ... in all the right places KAREN RUNTZ Mcnamara Field Naturalists
Lichen are found on every continent and in places where most of us would never expect it — like Canada’s Arctic, home to an estimated 1,000 species and where local lichenologist Dr. Troy McMullin spent three weeks this summer collecting specimens. Perhaps you read the Ottawa Citizen story about the interesting encounter he and fellow biologist Paul Sokoloff had there with an Arctic wolf. No? You can ask him about that when he talks to the Macnamara Club about lichen on Sept. 5. Every lichen lives on top of something else — usually rock and soil, bark and wood, elements that are left for a long time without moving. Most are tiny and best viewed through a hand lens. I had a memorable encounter with lichen last summer and although it lacked wolves, it did involve rock, a lens and a remote location — the now extinct Khorgo volcano in the far away country of Mongolia, where I spent three weeks. The view from the summit was spectacular, but my eyes were also drawn lower to lava boulders marked by vibrant trails of green and tiny bursts of gold and white. Down on my knees, and through my camera lens, I saw a miniature world of flowers dancing across the rock — the world of long-living and slow-growing lichen! Different perspective on the world The world of lichen is beautiful and fascinating but often overlooked says McMullin. Check out his Twitter feed @TroyMcMullin and you’ll see some of the remarkable forms and colours of lichens found in our own country. Issued one at a time in a series that started in early January, the images celebrate Canadi-
an biodiversity and their names … well, you’ll see. Take #1/150, Methusaleh’s Beard Lichen, described as the original Christmas tinsel, followed by Deadman’s Fingers, #2/150. How about the whimsical-sounding Freckle pelt, and — one your kids will appreciate —#19/150 in the series, Fairy puke! You can search for the hashtags #Bioblitz150 #canada150. And count on McMullen including many great images with his upcoming Macnamara presentation although we can’t promise Fairy puke will be one! We will see rare lichens occurring in southeastern Ontario, including the only species in the region that is federally listed as endangered — the Pale-bellied Frost Lichen, which is known in the Arnprior area. A self-sufficient package The product of billions of years of evolution, a lichen is a neat little self-sufficient package — a partnership of a fungus and one (or more) alga. “The alga is captured when it is young and kept alive in the fungus, the fungus completely controls and lives off the alga, it literally grows it as a garden within it,” says lichenologist Dr. Kerry Knudson in an Aeon video. “Think of it as if you were growing lettuce, but growing it within your body,” he adds. And in their food-making process, lichens convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into oxygen, which we all need to survive. Important to both animals and humans Lichens have been used for many things by both animals and humans. They provide forage, shelter and building materials for elk, deer, birds and insects and in their food-making process, lichens convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into oxygen, which we all need to survive. A key way that lichens directly benefit hu-
mans is through their ability to absorb everything in their atmosphere, especially pollutants. “Lichens are the canaries in the coal mine for environmental changes,” says McMullen. “Even subtle changes in moisture or temperature can be detected with lichens.” Who knew? Learn more about lichen including their roles in different ecosystems and how they are used in medicine, science, and space at September’s
Macnamara meeting. Visitors are always welcome. Don’t miss — The secret life of Lichen When: Tuesday, Sept. 5, 7:30 p.m. Where: Arnprior Curling Club, 15 Galvin St., Arnprior Cost: Meetings (and presentations) are free for club members and $5 for guests.

Renfrew County dietitian recognized by board of health for award The Renfrew County and District Board of Health is pleased to announce that Carolyn Froats-Emond, community dietitian, has received the Peer Recognition Award from the Ontario Society of Nutrition Professionals in Public Health (OSNPPH). At its May meeting, the board of health congratulated Froats-Emond on receiving this provincial award that acknowledged her exceptional leadership and contributions over the last 15 years in the areas of school nutrition and food security. “Carolyn is very deserving of this prestigious award and exemplifies excellence as a registered dietitian working at Renfrew County and District Health Unit,” stated board of health chair Janice Visneskie Moore. Highlights of Froats-Emond’s work include her leadership in the development of Bright Bites, a web-based program that guides schools in providing an environment that supports healthy eating for children. She also led a provincial group to develop Sip Smart! Ontario, a program designed to address the issue of sugary drinks. This was in response to research that identified that consuming too many sugary drinks puts children at higher risk for high blood pressure, heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and cancer. Teachers across Renfrew County and District have been trained to deliver this classroom education program to students from grades 3 to 7, in order to help children make healthy drink choices. In the area of food security, she worked on OSNPPH’s Position Statement on Responses to Food Insecurity. This document highlights the inadequacies of food charity — such as food banks — as a response to food insecurity, and calls for the implementation of a basic income guarantee as an effective, long-term solution to reduce food insecurity rates. This statement was endorsed by the Renfrew County and District Board of Health, and now guides the health unit’s advocacy efforts for incomebased solutions to food insecurity. “I love doing work that I think is important and has an impact on public health nutrition,” said FroatsEmond, as she reflected on the award. “I have been able to work with skilled colleagues across Ontario on developing provincial programs, and then see them implemented locally. This has been rewarding.” Froats-Emond has worked as the Renfrew County and District Health Unit’s community dietitian since 2007. She began her career as a public health dietitian at the North Bay and District Health Unit, prior to returning to the valley where she grew up. “Carolyn is highly respected by her peers and colleagues at the Renfrew County and District Health Unit, and we are proud of her accomplishments,” stated Liz McLaren, co-ordinator of health promotion programs at the health unit.

Lowell Green book wins national award JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
Lowell Green’s recently published book Amazing But True: 150 Fascinating Stories About Canada has received a national award. The book has been declared a Canada Book Awards winner and is available at The Arnprior Book Shop at 152 John St. This is an award presented to authors of books that display literary merit as well as a positive theme. Although Green, a well known Ottawa area radio personality who is a West Carleton resident who lives just a stone’s throw outside Stittsville, has written ten books, this is the first one to win such a national award. It is a 314-page book celebrating Canada’s 150th, containing 150 stories about Canada and its amazing people who have probably never been heard before thanks to extensive research by the author. Each story is told from a unique perspective or is a story that is relatively unknown to Canadians. One of these stories involves the Diefenbunker in Carp. Another deals with the duels fought by the Duke of Richmond. All of the stories are brief, usually just two pages in the book. All of them are written to be read in two minutes or less, with the reader able to read them in whatever order
strikes his or her fancy. The stories bear titles like The Grandest Canyon, One Tough Woman!, Totem Pole Pride, The Potato Accord, The Savage’s Wig, The Water Superhighway, Canadian Camels, The Great Bluenose Boondoggle, The Pianoman!, 9/11 and the Stanley Cup, You’re not legal, You’re a Woman!, Forget the Red Baron!, The Almost Pig War, The Duelist, The Kidnapping, The Best Damn Satellite in Space, Marilyn Bell, Pirates of the Thousand Islands, The Newfoundland Florence Nightingale, Goodbye Colonel By, and The Avro Arrow Mystery. As is stated on the book’s fly-leaf: “It’s all here. One hundred and fifty of the most interesting, wildest, craziest, far out, believe it or not stories about Canada ever published. This is not trivia. These are true stories about a country and its amazing people that you’ve probably never heard before, often because Lowell has done the research no one else has ever done. You will be intrigued, shocked, amused and always entertained and yes, you’ll learn some pretty amazing but true things about this country.” The book was released about three months ago and continues to sell well throughout the Ottawa Valley. Green feels that Amazing But True: 150 Fascinating Stories About Canada is more than just a book but rather is “a keepsake” for Canada’s 150th
birthday. He believes readers will not only learn about Canada by reading the book but will come to realize that Canada’s history is far from bland and indeed, as shown in these 150 stories, really exciting. The book, which sells for $26.95, is available at Chapters as well as various independent outlets around the area. The book, published by Spruce Ridge Publishing, Green’s own publishing company, is also available at the website https://lgreen.ca. The Canada Book Awards program recognizes and promotes outstanding achievements by Canadian authors. It is not a contest with an annual deadline, rather is a program that honours outstanding Canadian literary works regardless of when they were published. Canada Book Award winners are honoured for their literary accomplishment and for being inspirational for Canadians. All books nominated are assessed and reviewed, with books chosen as Canada Book Awards winners being listed on the Canada Book Awards website. The winners receive a goldembossed award certificate and are able to use the Canada Book awards winner emblem for promotional purposes.

Local openers confirmed for the Ontario Festival of Small Halls
Sept. 23: Pakenham: Vicki Brittle/Rosie & the Riveters and Sept. 30: Dacre: Ashley MacIsaac with Change of Step Familiar faces will join up-andcomers opening for big name musicians on rural stages during the Ontario Festival of Small Halls this fall. After announcing the 2017 fall headliners earlier this summer, the community opening acts are now finalized for almost all the shows, happening Sept. 14 to Oct. 1 in more than 30 cherished small halls across Eastern Ontario and the Ottawa Valley. From a father-daughter duo, to a singer-songwriter who has charted in the United States, this year’s opening acts are set to bring home the community vibe at the festival performances. Festival general manager, Kelly Symes, said many of the small town venues on the schedule have played a role in launching local musicians over the years, giving them a chance to be heard while playing for community events at suppers, dances and celebrations. “So much wonderful talent can be found locally, in the towns and rural areas the festival is in this year,” Symes said. “The local music scene is usually kick-started at community halls themselves; we’re thrilled to showcase that authenticity during the festival.” To give an idea of the calibre of some of the openers, Sacha, who will be performing with The Abrams at Stonefields in Beckwith on Sept. 14 is already earning accolades in the country music industry. She kicked off the new year as an opener for Brett Kissel’s Ice Snow 30 Below Tour and was named 2016’s Next Country Music Star while being invited to play the Havelock Jamboree. Sacha was also chosen by the Country Music Association of Ontario to perform on the Artist Spotlight stage during the Lucknow Music in the Fields festival. Other confirmed local openers include:

Gas iron made Mary’s mother hot under the collar It wasn’t like every other Saturday morning. Mother had loaded the Model T the night before for all her door-to-door deliveries in Renfrew that she did every week. But that Saturday was different. Mrs. Stewart, (we called her the ‘rich Mrs. Stewart’) had also ordered two dozen of Mother’s sticky buns with her usual order of eggs, butter and one fat chicken. That meant I would have to help Mother take the order to the kitchen door, and I’d get another peek into the kitchen, which was almost as big as our whole house! Mother rapped gently, and the door was opened by Mrs. Stewart herself, and I could see she was ironing. But it wasn’t like our ironing board on the farm that she was using. This board had its own legs, not like ours, which was really only a rough board, wrapped in flannelette sheets, and when used was put on the backs of two chairs. And the irons had to be heated on the hot elements of our cook stove before you could use them.
But Mrs. Stewart’s iron sure was different. It had a bulb affair at one end, and what looked like a pipe going upwards. “This is a brand new type of iron, Mrs. Haneman,” Mrs. Stewart said when she saw us looking at it. “It heats with gas.” She looked as proud as punch, as if she had just discovered gold! “And it heats very quickly ... far quicker than the electric plug-in I can tell you.” She propped it on its end, and I could hear it sizzle, and steam came out onto the damp and starched doily she was ironing. Mrs. Stewart made some comment that Mother should have a gas iron, since she was pretty sure we had no electricity on the farm, and it would sure beat heating the flat irons on the cook stove. Mother already had her money in her purse, her hand on the doorknob,

possible. She plopped into the Model T, let out a big sigh and then put her head down on the steering wheel. “Whew,” she said, as if she had just been relieved of some heavy load. “Whew,” she said again. I dared to ask her what all the fuss was about. “Did you see that iron? “Well, let me tell you about a gas
iron my friend Rosy had in her New York apartment. “It looked just like that one too.” Mother was breathing hard, as if the memory was causing her pain. “The first time Rosy used it, she called me in from next door to see this new invention. “Well! It hissed, it sputtered, and the blue smoke came out of it, and then there was this big puff. “It hit the ceiling, taking Rosie’s husband’s best white shirt with it, and there was a hole in the ceiling as big as a pumpkin.” Mother took a hanky out of her purse and wiped her forehead. The memory almost too much for her. “No thank you. I’ll stick with the flat irons I heat on the cook stove until

we get electricity.” And I knew that wasn’t going to happen any time soon. Mother started the car, driving away from the curb and headed down to the main street. She was still running down the gas iron when we hit the Northcote Side Road a couple hours later. She said we were lucky to get out of that house alive, and she was sure that one day we’d read in the Renfrew Mercury about a gas iron explosion at one of the richest houses in Renfrew!

Renfrew Fair runs Sept. 6 to 10 TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com
The Renfrew Fair, without a doubt, is not only “the greatest fair in the Ottawa Valley since 1853,” but is the best fair around. It is a tradition, a time to run into to family and friends in the grandstands while rocking out and having not one but most likely two bacon-ona-bun sandwiches. There truly is something magical about sitting on the large ferris wheel and appreciating the fair in all its glory and knowing all the hard work that goes into it. Little eyes, some for the very first time, gaze at the lights and sounds of the rides, fish for a certain prize and devour cotton candy. All year, exhibitors work passionately to prepare something for the exhibit hall, and a red or blue ribbon rewards them for all of their hard work. And who can forget about the award-winning cattle and other animals on display for farmers to appreciate and to pass on their knowledge to the next generation. This year the 163rd Renfrew Fair runs from Sept. 6 to 10, with entertainment that appeals to numerous generations. The gates open on Wednesday at 2 p.m., with the Exhibit Hall and Armouries and the rides by Carter Shows open at 5 p.m. Family Day, free admission to children up to 16 years of age, is Sept. 7,
the gates open at 9 a.m., the rides start at 2 p.m., the official opening is at 6:30 p.m. and ‘Whiskey Jack presents Stories and Songs of Stompin’ Tom’ at 8 p.m. on the grandstand. Then on Friday, Sept. 8, the everpopular heavy horse show featuring the North American Six-Horse Hitch Classic starts at 1 p.m. and the fair goes country with Valley boys Rainwater Whiskey and River Town Saints at 8 p.m. at the grandstand. On Saturday, horse and cattle and 4-H shows start at 9 a.m., with the heavy horse show back at 1 p.m., and that night Lighthouse performs at 8 p.m. on the grandstand. The last day of the fair is Sunday, with gates opening at 9 a.m. and closing at 5 p.m. At 10:30 a.m. is the Ultimate Cowboy Obstacle Race. View a detailed schedule of the fair online at www.renfrewfair.com/ renfrew-fair-poster-2017. Advance tickets are on sale until Wednesday, Sept. 6, at 2 p.m., for five admissions: $40, a savings of $10. Cost to get into the fair is $10 for adults, children seven to 16, $5, and children under six, free. Parking cars on the grounds will cost $5. Advance ride vouchers are now on sale and can be purchased until Wednesday, Sept. 6, at 2 p.m. The vouchers are good for any one day at the fair for an unlimited ride bracelet, and cost $25 in advance and $35 at the fair.

River Town Saints Friday night headliner at 163rd Renfrew Fair TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com
The River Town Saints (RTS), one of the top bands in Canadian country music, is set to rock the stage at the Renfrew Fair on Friday, Sept. 8. The band recently released their first album and their first single Woke Up Like This has been climbing the charts this summer. Other big hits include: A Little Bit Goes A Long Way, Cherry Bomb and Bonfire, which went top 10 at country radio. Lead singer for the band Chris Labelle has never been to the Renfrew Fair but has heard nothing but good things about it. “The show will be high energy and we like to show off the harmonies too, everyone will get to hear the songs from the album and a few covers/ medleys,” said Labelle. “I am super pumped because it is so close to my home and I can bring my family and friends out. I can’t wait, I’m from Ottawa but I am always in Renfrew and I know the area loves country music and we will bring it!” RTS has had a busy summer touring with a bunch of big names Labelle says his favourite memory this year was when they per-

The River Town Saints are hitting the stage at the Renfrew Fair on Sept. 8. The popular country band is comprised of Jeremy Bortot, Jordan Potvin, Chris Labelle, Chris McComb and Daniel DiGiacomo. formed with Kip Moore in Western Canada. “We learned so much from him, how to be professional and save our voice,” said Labelle. “If we can take 10 per cent of what he gives on stage Renfrew will be blown away for sure.” The crowd is also in for some new music the band is working on. “We will be playing a couple of new
original songs for the fans and the audience will help us decide what the next single is just by looking at their reactions.” Two of the members of the band are from the Ottawa Valley and are really looking forward to playing in their own backyard. River Town Saints singer-guitarists Chris McComb, from Arnprior, has
a lot of memories of the fair. “My grandfather used to take me to the Renfrew Fair. There was a merrygo-round with motorcycles and he kept giving me tokens,” McComb told Metroland Media when the entertainment lineup was announced. McComb is really looking forward to playing the fair. “We get to play in front of a hometown crowd. It’s cool
but more nerve racking because there will be more people I know,” said McComb. “Fall fairs always feel homey to me too, the smell of the food, the lights of the rides, it feels natural.” Drummer Jordan Potvin lives in Arnprior and is excited to play the Renfrew Fair. “It’s such a rare moment for us to play close to home. I mean we have a good amount of friends and family out this way, and they’re always checking in to see how the band is doing,” Potvin recently told Metroland Media. “So now instead of just talking about it, they can come to see how much we’ve developed as a band and what the show is like now. It’s going to be an awesome fair this year!” Their first single, A Little Bit Goes a Long Way, earned them a spot on many artist to watch lists and it has since surpassed more than one million streams on Spotify. Earlier this year they won the Country Music Association of Ontario single of the year for Cherry Bomb. They were also nominated for the Canadian Country Music Award for Rising Star of the Year.

Rainwater Whiskey is set to play at the Renfrew Fair on Friday, Sept. 8, band members include, Robert Pallen (Renfrew native), Kent Clingin, Thomas Watson (Renfrew native), and Mark Bolton.
TIFFANY LEPACK
It’s a homecoming for two members of Rainwater Whiskey at the Renfrew Fair Friday, Sept. 8 on the grandstand stage at 8 p.m. Lead singer Thomas Watson and bass player Robert Pallen both hail from Renfrew. Watson was born and raised in Renfrew. He went to Admaston Public School, Renfrew Collegiate Institute and played hockey for the Jr. B Renfrew Timberwolves. He is quite looking forward to performing at the Renfrew Fair. “You always had to go to the Renfrew Fair,” said Watson. “It was a good time and a place to meet up with friends.” He says one of his favourite memories of the fair was when he played with his former band Make Shift. “We got to play the fair and that was pretty cool and now I get to do it again,” said Watson. The band is rounded out by Kent Clingin on drums from Lanark and Mark Bolton from Constance Bay on guitar. “We are all valley boys!” said Watson. The band is no stranger to Renfrew as they have played Coco Jarry’s and Finnigan’s. “It will be cool to play some originals at home,” said Watson. Rainwater Whiskey is described as “a hard-hitting country band from the Ottawa Valley. The boys have been
stomping all over local bars in the Ottawa and Valley area since 2013 putting a little whiskey on all your favourite old and modern country tunes.” “We are country with a rock and roll edge,” said Watson. He is really excited to be playing at the Renfrew Fair. “It’s going to be awesome. We are really good friends with River Town Saints (who we are opening for) and I want to show them how we get down in Renfrew,” said Watson. “I hope a lot of friends and family come out too, I hope they come out in droves.” Rainwater Whiskey has been performing in the Ottawa Valley for four years and have just released their first EP The Long Time Coming recorded at Audio Valley Studios and produced by Steve Foley, with original music. “We’ve had the songs for awhile,” said Watson. “It’s pretty amazing that we did it after talking about it for so long.” By the end of the summer they will have performed in front of 10,000 people as they have opened for Kira Isabella, Aaron Pritchett, Brett Kissel, and at the fair The River Town Saints, where they have featured a number of new songs. He hopes the first single will be Read that Wrong. “It’s a song about getting too drunk and putting yourself in situations that you read wrong,” said Watson.

Lighthouse brings explosive sound to Renfrew Fair Sept. 9 SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com
If you’d like to enjoy Sunny Days at the Renfrew Fair, No More Searching, 1970s rockers Lighthouse have the Saturday night performance just for you. “Anyone who shows up will have a unique experience,” said keyboardist Paul Hoffert. “It’s different every single night. That’s what keeps it fresh for us and the many fans who come from gig to gig.” Toronto-based Lighthouse burst on the scene in 1969, with an explosive sound that defied all conventions. The band has a long history of accomplishments — between 1970 and 1973 they were awarded four Junos, four gold albums and Canada’s first platinum album for Lighthouse Live! With hits including One Fine Morning, Sunny Days, Hats Off to the Stranger, 1849 and Pretty Lady, the band quickly raced to the top of Canadian and international charts. Lighthouse reunited in 1992 and have kept up a busy performing schedule of late. “We have a real family. We play a

It’s all live, there are no gimmicks, no pitch tools. We’ve got a lot of energy.” The members have been working at it a long time, he said. “When we put the band together we wanted a group with the best players in the world — and we’ve kept that up,” said Hoffert.
He said band members are pleased to be encountering not only audiences that remember Lighthouse from the old days but “a new crop of younger people who know all the words to our songs.” Modern-day Lighthouse features original founders Hoffert and Ralph Cole leading an all-star lineup that includes original members Russ Little and Steve Kennedy with Dan Clancy, Doug Moore, Don Paulton, Chris

Howells, Simon Wallis and Jamie Prokop. In September, Lighthouse will have their first new recording in quite awhile, said Hoffert, a nod to Canada’s sesquicentennial. “We’re part of a Canada 150 record compilation featuring our country’s 150 most important tracks ever released,” he said. “We’re humbled and very thankful that of all the fantastic bands on the record from Justin Bieber to Neil Young, etc., Lighthouse is the only one that has two songs.” Sunny Days is among the songs, as well as a new recording produced by famed producer Bob Ezrin, a new arrangement of Leonard Cohen’s Tower of Song. The album is expected to be released in September. Hoffert, who has travelled and performed around the world with Lighthouse, reflected on what Canada means to him. “I remember that when we first got started we played a lot of rock festivals all over the world,” he said. “We were playing in Atlantic City and were the first band on the third day of a big festival and we got on stage and because we had so much
equipment we played a big chord and blew out the entire outdoor sound system.” With some 50,000 people in the crowd and the knowledge that recent similar concert situations had turned tragic — the mood was tense. “We couldn’t talk to the whole crowd and it started to look like it might get ugly, so we started talking to the first 10 rows or so of people, saying ‘Look, we’re from Canada, where things are a little more peaceful, the sound guys are working hard to get this issue resolved, everybody just have a good time, chill out, turn to whoever is next to you and see if we can start something positive,’” said Hoffert. Then, something pretty cool happened, he said. “A Canada flag came out and was waving, you could see the ripple effect. Kids just started chilling out and dancing around. Everyone started calming down,” he said. “I’ll never forget that, it was such a Canadian moment and made me feel so proud.” Lighthouse takes to the stage at the Renfrew Fair at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 9.
