Amber alert hits close to home Quebec child found safe near Dacre OPP make arrest Friday, Sept. 15 near Dacre TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com
It was like something out of a movie. Friday, Sept. 15, a Dacre couple watched a wanted man get arrested in their backyard. Barb and John Friske were at their home on Hwy. 132 between Dacre and Eganville when they heard what sounded like someone with a flat tire drive on to their property. “We went to see if he got hurt,” said John. “The police started yelling at us to go back in the house, go back in the house, so we went in.” Barb then pointed at the garage and told the officers who were looking for a man in relation to an Amber Alert that spread across Quebec and Ontario that it was open. John said it just clicked they were looking for the wanted man from Quebec. “Then I saw him out our bedroom window climbing over the fence and dragging the young lad. I told the cops and they started to yell at him to get down,” said John. “He had a stick over the young lad. They tased him and he dropped.” John then watched as a female officer went and grabbed the boy. “He was crying. He was terrified, but he didn’t physically look hurt,” said John. “ It was heartbreaking to see that.
His face was red and you could tell he had been crying.” Barb gave the boy a freezie and then they were gone. Although the pair did not look at their watch, John estimates the whole ordeal only lasted about five minutes, beginning at approximately 4:45 p.m. He says there was a minimum of a dozen officers on scene with cars, SUVs and two helicopters. “It was quite a blast of adrenaline,” said John who never feared for his own safety because the amount of police on hand. “It was fast, it was something like you see on television or a movie. I’ve never seen anything like that and I hope that it doesn’t happen again.” The man, whose name is not being published to protect the identity of the child, has now been charged with second degree murder in the death of his partner, the boy’s mother. She was found dead in her St-Eustache, Que., home last Thursday, Sept. 14, which triggered an Amber Alert for a missing sixyear-old boy. The alert spanned hundreds of kilometres and lasted until the man was arrested and the boy was found safe in Dacre, outside of the Friskes’ home. The second-degree murder charge was filed by Quebec prosecutors in SaintJérôme court Monday. As of press time, the suspect remains in an Ottawa hospital.
SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com
“Male is in custody…and the child is safe.” An Amber Alert that began in Quebec ended southwest of Renfrew Friday with the safe retrieval of the child and apprehension of the boy’s 41-yearold father. The male was formally charged Sept. 18 with second degree murder. Renfrew County Scanner posted audio of the police pursuit and apprehension on YouTube. The clip ends with a female OPP officer reporting the successful apprehension of the suspect and status of the child. The Amber Alert was triggered about 5:30 p.m. Thursday in St-Eustache, Que., with the discovery that a woman had been killed and her six-year-old son was missing. While the names of those involved were earlier being reported, they are no longer being released since the boy is in the care of Quebec youth services. In a well-executed police operation involving multiple units, including two helicopters, a sometimes high-speed chase came to an end near Dacre with the use of a spike belt to stop the suspect’s vehicle just past the junction of Highways 41 and 132. Early Friday morning, police discovered the suspect’s white Ford pickup truck abandoned at a highway rest area in Lachute, Que. Police believe it was in Lachute that the suspect got access a charcoalcoloured Honda registered to 71-year-old Yvon Lacasse, who is still missing. It was this vehicle in which the suspect was apprehended. Friday afternoon, the vehicle was spotted on Hwy. 41 northbound from Cloyne and local emergency officials were notified. The 41-year-old Quebec male was apprehended on Hwy. 132 southwest of Renfrew

after a spike belt was deployed. “The suspect fled the vehicle where a short foot pursuit ensued and was apprehended by our uniformed officers,” said an OPP press release. “The child is in good physical health and under the care of child services.” He was held in custody at the Renfrew detachment and appeared via video link for a bail hearing on Saturday, Sept. 16. Provincial media relations co-ordinator Staff Sgt. Carolle Dionne told media outlets the suspect was injured and transported by ambulance to hospital on Saturday afternoon. At 1:30 p.m., the courts decided to release the male into the custody of the Sûreté du Québec. By 3:30 p.m., Dionne had been told that the man had been taken to hospital by ambulance. “At this point there’s no information as to the type of injuries or the extent of his injuries,” Dionne told the Toronto Star. She could not say how the injuries were sustained, but said that police were not looking for suspects regarding the injuries. He will be transferred to Quebec when he is released from hospital. In a Monday Sept. 18 press release, OPP confirmed the report. “On Saturday, Sept. 16, the accused sustained an injury while in his cell that required medical attention. He was transported to a local hospital for medical assessment. He currently remains in medical care at a local hospital in Ottawa. Special Investigations Unit (SIU) was notified at the time of the incident,” said the release. Police continue to search for 71-year-old Lachute, Que. resident Yvon Lacasse, whose SUV Fredette was driving at the time of his arrest. Lacasse is described as bald with brown eyes. He is five feet four inches tall and weighs around 155 pounds. With files from the Toronto Star

Arnprior to host final fair in 2018, new location sought outside town fairs fall under the purview of the provincial government. “We need guidance,” Desarmia said. “It’s not going to be just a fairgrounds. It’s going to be an agricultural complex.” It would include indoor arenas for yearround competitions and education seminars. He indicated that more than one employee would be hired. It can’t be near other fairs, according to Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies’ rules, hence within a 30-kilometre radius of the Galvin site. The 2019 fair will take place on the new site.
DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
Next summer will be the last time the Arnprior Fair takes place within town limits. The faigrounds have been sold. The fair board has planned to move from the current 10 Galvin St. location, behind the Nick Smith Centre, for almost three years now. Board members want to build a major complex just outside town. But not everyone is backing the sale, according to fair president Jeff Desarmia. “I know there is a big move afoot to quash the sale,” Desarmia said. “I don’t know where all these people were before. We had a public meeting of all members; zero showed up.” Arnprior Fair has had difficulties paying partners and contractors following last year’s poor showing (due largely to rain). Desarmia won’t say how much the grounds - which include a harness racetrack and a few older barns - sold for. It remains listed on Re/ Max’s website for $1.5 million. The description reads: “…the only remaining scaled parcel of land located within the Town of Arnprior proper. Surrounded by an abundance of amenities, and with direct access to transit, these lands are prime for residential development. The town of Arnprior has become a bedroom community for the city of Ottawa as well as being host to some large-scale manufacturing/tech companies. With steady population growth and new retailers, Arnprior continues to attract new residents and retirees alike. Current use is Agricultural/Exhibition Grounds with five outbuildings - Potential for R1 - R3 Zoning. Buyer to confirm with

township.” Whether it will turn residential has yet to be confirmed; few other details are available, though Desarmia did address some of the speculation in the community. “It’s not a local buyer, that much I can tell you,” he said. The deal was not brokered by a close relative of a board member, and only standard commission fees were paid. All board members are in favour of the deal, Desarmia said. All have given their consent. There was no vote held to reject any offers under $1 million. As for the new location; seven are under consideration; a developer (likely from the city) will be hired to take over the process. The public will be consulted before a purchase is made since
“There will be no gaps,” he said, adding that after Sept. 8, 2018 work will begin on the new site. That should give plenty of time, he indicated. Money to pay for the new site and build the complex will come from the land sale, provincial agricultural and new development grants, “and other streams of revenue.” Asked if he is sad to see the loss to Arnprior, Desarmia said the fair goes back to 1864 - but that things change. “I think it’s a good thing for the town; whatever’s going to go there.”

Horton Township man was charged with impaired driving, and several Highway Traffic Act charges including driving while under suspension, driving under licence of other jurisdiction while suspended in Ontario, failing to surrender a suspended driver’s licence and contravening a licence condition. He was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew on Oct. 25 for the criminal charge and was issued a summons to appear in traffic court in Renfrew on Oct. 27. Provincial Const. Tony Gardiner led the investigation. On Saturday, Sept. 16 at approximately 11:30 p.m. officers received a call of a possible impaired driver on Stewartville Road in the Township of McNab/Braeside. Officers located the suspect vehicle and stopped the driver. The male driver had been drinking and failed a roadside alcohol screening test. Following further tests at the detachment a 19-year-old McNab/Braeside Township man was charged with driving over 80mgs. He was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew on Oct. 25. Const. Patrick O’Connor investigated. Members of the public play an integral part of road safety when they report suspected impaired drivers to the police. The OPP encourage you to call 9-1-1 to report a suspected impaired driver, as this crime quite often claims innocent lives on our roadways. Provide as much information as possible, including a description of the vehicle, a licence plate, a description of the driver if pos-
sible and the road they are on and direction of travel is excellent information that helps officers stop impaired driving. Drivers can use cell phones to call 9-1-1(if you feel it is safe to do so) as calling 9-1-1 is an exception to the distracted driving law. The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) investigated 301 calls for service during the past week. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Arnprior and Renfrew officers investigated 12 domestic disputes during the past week. One male was charged with assault and two counts of domestic mischief, one female was charged with assault and domestic mischief, one male was charged with assault and one male was charged with domestic mischief. No other criminal offences took place. UTTERING THREATS
One male is facing charges after threatening several people. OPP officers began investigating on Sunday, Sept. 10 when someone reported a male who resides on Mary Street in Douglas uttered threats to harm several people with a firearm. A warrant for the arrest of the male was issued by a Justice of the Peace and a warrant to enter the home of the male was also granted. The OPP Tactics and Rescue Unit (TRU) team was utilized and a 54-year-old man from Douglas was arrested and held for a bail hearing on Sept. 12. PC Derek Andrechek led the investigation.
Friday September 29th the evening skies of Arnprior will be lit up with the neon light of hundreds of people covered in glow bands in support of our three local L’Arche communities and the Arnprior Regional Health Foundation.

Noise bylaw may extend by two hours DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
Whistling may soon be allowed on Arnprior streets up to 11 p.m., a full two hours longer than the current bylaw allows. The municipality’s noise bylaw was discussed at the Sept. 11 council meeting. Staff is proposing a change from the current 9 p.m. (to 7 a.m.) ban on several activities, including: • whistling, yelling, shouting, and singing; • loud music, loading or unloading products, unauthorized fireworks; • banging, clanking, squealing vehicles; • construction work, removing dust and debris from private parking lots next to residential properties. The bylaw could take effect between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. if members of council vote in favour at an upcoming meeting. However, not all are on board. Mayor David Reid wasn’t convinced the 11 p.m. time was needed. He would consider a compromise of 10 during school nights. Coun. Frank Dugal agreed. “I think it’s important not to keep the kids awake,” Reid said. Coun. Tom Burnette grew philosophic when he discussed what amounts to audio relativism. “Noise is noise,” he said. “What is not noisy to you is noisy to me.” He doesn’t believe many noises that break the bylaw can be stopped, due in large part to the 11 p.m. start of the ban. It is unlikely a bylaw officer can make it to the scene in time, Burnette
indicated. Coun. Dan Lynch is on Reeve Walter Stack’s side. The latter said it’s a 24/7 world with many people doing shift work, and that an evening entertaining friends can grind to a halt with one phone call to bylaw enforcement. They prefer 11 p.m. Coun. Lynn Grinstead missed the meeting. Bylaw enforcement officer Jim McBain attended the meeting. He downplayed the significance of the issue, saying Arnprior only gets about 25-30 complaints per year. Most are to do with barking dogs. “It’s a good town,” McBain said. When it comes to snow removal, Reid said he would like to see an exemption for the resident who must blow snow from their driveway at 6 a.m. just to get to work in the city for 7, for example. There are few, if any complaints about snowblowers or lawnmowers, McBain indicated. Some do complain about trucks with mandatory back-up beepers. The town and its contractors will be exempt from the noise bylaw when it comes to snow removal and maintenance construction (such as sewer line repairs) because they are considered safety issues. McBain doubts vehicles with deliberately loud mufflers will be fined because bylaw officers cannot force them to pull over. That is police matter, he said. Council accepted staff’s presentation as information only.

OPINION
Connected to your community
Pot plan good first step Despite some reports that the sky is falling, Canada will legalize marijuana next year, and in Ontario, the government will be the only legal seller. This strict control – sales and distribution through LCBO channels – is a good idea. Ontario government sales will mean the proceeds of pot sales are removed from the hands of organized crime, and at the same time, will add a new tax revenue stream to support public services. The system proposed by the Ontario government will deliver quality control too, so users can be sure nothing scary has been added to their weed. With sales restricted to people age 19 and over, any “allure” of doing something illegal is removed. If the grey-hairs are puffing joints, how rebellious will it feel for a teen to get their hands on a baggie of pot? The LCBO system should also mean predictable prices and supply. And the staff will be the same professionals who run our liquor stores. And most importantly, we will no longer see smokers receive criminal records. Those records hold people back and keep
them from jobs where they could be more productive. To complete the sensible pot legalization circle, the Trudeau Liberals should erase the criminal records of anyone who, in the past, was convicted of marijuana possession. The only puzzling Queen’s Park decision is promising to create new pot outlets apart from existing liquor stores. Given that every LCBO store has good security and cash-handling processes, it makes no sense to create new places to sell pot, especially given the number of outlets that would be required across this huge province. It would be cheaper and more efficient to carve out one corner of each liquor store to sell pot. Separate outlets would require at least three staff members – no one will work alone of course – and someone has to give the others lunch breaks. In an existing liquor store, one or two staff members could move back and forth from the marijuana outlet to the liquor cash registers as required. But the sky is not falling. People smoke pot now and they will smoke pot after July 2018. They just won’t be arrested for it.
Confusion surrounding closing of tax loopholes To the editor:
Many people feel cynicism regarding the relationship of politicians with special interest groups. What is poorly understood however is that policy complexity is where special interests tend to discreetly gouge the public’s wealth. Lobbies from the oil, pharmaceutical, dairy, and global investment arbitration industries take advantage of anti-economic monopolies that are difficult for ordinary citizens to understand. Recently Canadians are also seeing the “small” business lobby abusing public sympathy to defend special tax loopholes most available to the rich. In July the federal government’s Finance Minister Bill Morneau published a discussion paper proposing three reforms to the private business tax system: requiring that employees that are family to the business owner engage in genuine work to qualify for

splitting the income across the family, higher taxes on passive investment income within a business, and reduced ability to convert income into capital gains. In response to this proposal, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, the Canadian Medical Association, and Conservatives like MP Cheryl Gallant have been spreading misinformation about the tax changes. Accusations have been made that the Liberals are hurting small-businesses everywhere, or even that healthcare services will be diminished by the coming flight of doctors to south of the border. In reality, the small business tax system is accidentally structured in such a way that a minority of business owners are privileged with unique opportunities to engage in legal tax evasion. Because of these tax loopholes, no one is more likely to own a private incorporated business than a wealthy person.
For example, a business owner with an income of $300,000 could split the income with three family members by hiring them as fake employees, thereby reducing their tax brackets and saving $48,000 from taxation. Research from economists such as Michael Wolfson of the University of Ottawa has found that of the top one percent of Canadians, those with incomes over $163,300, a majority have ownership in private companies. Of the top 0.01 per cent of Canadians with incomes over $2.3 million, almost 80 percent of them have ownership in private companies. The reforms are not intended to target all businesses, because the tax loopholes benefit only a minority of business owners. Those who would be most affected by the reforms would merely be compelled to pay the same taxes as fellow business owners of the same income. For example, over 21,000 of Canada’s more than 52,000

doctors do not own businesses, and most doctors who do own businesses would not likely be using the tax loopholes to much advantage. The proposals from the Liberal government are far from perfect, as the Chamber of Commerce has made the correct criticism that intrusive audits might be expected of businesses with ownership shared within families. However, critics from the business community have not suggested alternatives to closing the tax loopholes. Hundreds of millions of dollars in public spending is at stake in closing business tax loopholes that advantage Canada’s wealthy elite. The wrath of these wealthy business owners should be seen for what it is: pretending to the humility of mom-and-pop operations while fighting for upper-class privilege. Stefan Klietsch Renfrew

In the market for winning
When a woman is murdered by her intimate partner, the reaction of the community is that of disbelief, alarm and grief. Rightfully so, as it is shocking to imagine that a “love” relationship could transform into intentional abuse and eventually death. Our shock about that final, lethal act sometimes prevents us from acknowledging the matter at hand: abuse is wrong and it is sadly all too common. Abuse hides in the shadows, in part, because silence unintentionally allows it to. When violence finally becomes public — the murder hits local and social media and there is an outpouring of sorrow. We express our sadness in many ways and react accordingly. We may shed tears, attend vigils, support groups, etc. Yet, we often disregard a vital step, outrage. It is not easy to rise up and speak the anger that we have within, and do so in a manner that is productive, helpful and useful. When Anastasia Kuzyk, Nathalie Warmerdam and Carol Culleton were murdered in and near Wilno on Sept. 22, 2015, our communities joined together to mourn. We were shaken to the very core of our sense of safety and security. We shared our grief, fear and gathered in support, echoing a shared outrage. The collective roar shattered the facade and brought the reality of intimate partner violence
to the surface. It also highlighted the reality of no public transportation, geographic isolation, unlawful access to weapons and the need for continued public education and awareness of abuse and intimate partner violence. We are not all in a position to publicly rally or protest. But, we can show our support in many private ways. If we know someone experiencing abuse, we can acknowledge it. We can speak with family members, friends, co-workers and neighbours and let them know we are prepared to listen. We can let them know we care about them and that they share no blame. We can teach our children that abuse in any form is wrong and we can set examples of healthy relationships. We can also speak up, challenge sexiest jokes, role model kindness and let others know where our line in the sand is. At Bernadette McCann House, we welcome anyone who wishes to Stand Up Against Violence to have their photo taken, with a sign, that is posted to our website (see wsssbmh.org and click on “Get Involved”). The stigma of abuse need not prevail and the silence can be broken. If you would like to know more or are experiencing abuse please call any time at 613-7313131 or toll free at 1-800-267-4930.

STUDY OVERVIEW The Ministry of Transportation Ontario (MTO) retained Dillon Consulting Limited to complete the design and Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for work at the Mississippi River Bridge located on Highway 17, in the west end of the City of Ottawa, Ontario. Based on the existing condition of the bridge, the recommended alternative is to construct a new bridge at this location. Highway 17 will be closed at the bridge during construction and a signed detour route will be provided along Kinburn Side Road, Upper Dwyer Hill Road and Galetta Side Road. PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE A Public Information Centre will be held on Tuesday, October 3, 2017 to present the study recommendations and receive feedback from the public: Date: October 3, 2017 Time: 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. (Informal drop-in session) Location: Kinburn Community Centre, 3045 Kinburn Side Road, Kinburn THE PROCESS The study is being completed following the Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000) for a Group B project. The study was initiated in 2013 to identify the most appropriate method to rehabilitate, replace or remove the bridge and assess the impacts, including traffic management during construction, and impacts to the natural environment. A Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) to document the study process will be available for public review at the end the study. Additional information on the project is available at www.EastOntarioBridges.ca. COMMENTS We are interested in receiving comments or concerns that you may have with the study.

Hospice gives thanks
Hospice Renfrew held its annual corporate and community sponsors thank you event on Wednesday, Sept. 13. Staff estimate there are approximately 200 corporate and community sponsors and without them they don’t know if they would be able to keep the doors open. During the event a major fundraising announcement was made. The Valley Heritage Radio board of directors announced the station is partnering with Hospice Renfrew for the 2017 Holly Jolly Radiothon and all money raised from the event on Dec. 2 will go directly to hospice. As well they will not only be the beneficiaries in 2017 but 2018 and 2019 as well. Hospice board member and McNab/Braeside resident Connie Legg chats on air with Jason Marshall and Jim Long from the station about the big announcement. Right: Attending the appreciation event from Arnprior are Rob Ball from Sullivan, Tracy Reid, hospice volunteer, Mayor David Reid, David Olmsted, from the Lions Club, Tim Pruner, from Sullivans, Don Grougeon and Jesse Billyard also from the Lions Club, which also donated $300 to the Hospice during the event.
Lip Sync battle Friday It’s an epic battle for fame, fortune and bragging rights. Well, perhaps not fame but competitors are battling it out for cash prizes. Battle the Night Lip Sync Challenge hits the stage at Festival Hall in Pembroke on Friday, Sept. 22 to raise money for local mental health initiatives. In support of the Robbie Dean Family Counselling Centre, competitors from up and down the Valley will impersonate their favourite music stars and lip sync their way into infamy. “We have performances from artists varying from Journey to Bjork and everything in between.” That’s from host Chris Kyte who’s been working on this event for over a year and a half. “I’ve always wanted to roll up my sleeves and organize my own event. I just needed to find the right cause. And I found it with Robbie Dean. “Kyte says the centre is so vital to mental health of our community and without funding, they need all the support they can get. The doors open at 6:30 p.m. with a cocktail hour, featuring a cash bar and appetizers. The lip sync battle begins at 7:30 p.m. Cost is $15.00 and tickets are available online at robbiedeancentre.com or you can get them from Kerry’s Place, downtown Pembroke and Forest Lea Promotional Productions on Pembroke Street West. You can also get tickets at Pick It Fence and The Flower Factory in downtown Renfrew. They’ll also be available at the door. The Robbie Dean Family Counselling Centre has satellite clinics in Renfrew and Arnprior.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR THOSE ON THE MADAWASKA AND OTTAWA RIVERS After Thanksgiving, Monday, October 9, the summer water level minimums will end on the Ottawa and Madawaska Rivers. Ontario Power Generation (OPG) will adjust its operations within allowable operating levels using the fall/winter requirements. This will result in lower water levels. Also be advised that a “draw down” will occur in late October or early November on the Madawaska River at Calabogie Generating Station (GS) and Stewartville GS, and on the Ottawa River at Chenaux GS. This “draw down” from summer water level minimums will begin as temperatures drop in order to encourage amphibians like frogs, as well as turtles, to hibernate safely for the winter. This is an initiative supported by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. Residences and businesses along these rivers are advised to take all necessary precautions to ensure the lower water does not affect their properties. As always, exercise caution around OPG facilities. If you have any questions, please call Jennifer Gardiner 613-433-9673, ext. 3350.

KFC’s manager retires after 43 years TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com
After 43 years, he still does not know the colonel’s secret recipe. But Floyd Rebertz’ hard work and dedication have certainly paid off as he just retired from Kentucky Fried Chicken after 43 years. His last day on the job was Friday, Sept. 8 and he laughed and joked with loyal customers. “I’m a talker; I got to know my customers and they are like family to me,” said Rebertz. Rebertz worked at the Arnprior location for 29 years and the rest of the time he spent in Renfrew. He is retiring as the restaurant’s general manager. He’s had some good times at the local restaurants over the years. “I enjoyed the job,” said Rebertz. “I mentored a lot of the kids over the years.” The Arnprior resident did not hesitate when asked what the best part of his job was. “The
people, the training, and passing on knowledge.” He still plans on eating the same meal he has had many times over the years. “I like my chicken and have eaten it everyday and I will still eat my chicken,” said Rebertz. As for what’s next? “It’s bittersweet leaving the company but I will have more time with my wife and kids,” said Rebertz. “I want to have some time off to relax and rediscover myself, to see what life is outside work hours.” Janet McLaughlin has worked with him for four years and has fond memories. “I love Floyd, he’s a good boss and makes you laugh,” said McLaughlin. “He is a very dedicated man,” added Linda Inwood. “It won’t be the same without him.” Rebertz had some very special parting words as he left his post after 43 years. “Always remember to smile and share a hug when someone needs it.”

NOTICE WATER MAIN FLUSHING – ALMONTE WARD September 18 – October 20 The Corporation of the Municipality of Mississippi Mills will be flushing the water mains in all areas of Almonte Ward beginning Monday, September 18th, 2017 to Friday, October 20th, 2017, during the hours of 7:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. (excluding weekends). This annual maintenance program is designed to remove the sediment that has accumulated in the water mains to maintain good water quality in the distribution system. This maintenance procedure is required under the Provincial Legislation and may result in temporary inconveniences to you such as reduced water pressure or red (discoloured) water. • Reduced water pressure should only be intermittent as the hydrants are being flushed. The pressure will return to normal once the flushing is completed. • If you detect discoloured (red) water, turn off your tap for 20 to 30 minutes; this should allow work crews enough time to complete the flushing. When work crews have left the area, turn on one COLD water tap for a few minutes to flush the system. 14 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, September 21, 2017

Military veteran cycles to MS milestone DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
Impressive is seeing 80-year-old Mel Porter — well known in Arnprior for helping fellow military veterans — cycle from Ottawa to Cornwall for charity. Even more impressive is learning he has done it for 15 years now, after completing his latest multiple sclerosis (MS) fundraiser in the summer. However, most impressive of all is finding out he has raised $130,000 over that time. “A lot of local businesses have been good to me. Tim Hortons and No Frills, they let me sit there (at a table inside the front door),” Porter said. “I’ve met a lot of people since. Some will come up to me and make a donation and say, ‘Actually, I have MS.’ It’s quite nice.” The mid-July 2017 PwC MS Bike Ottawa to Cornwall had just over 500 participants involved. Porter said the weather this year was sunny and not too hot. There were “a lot” of younger cyclists taking part, but it isn’t treated as a race. He is a ride marshal these days, meaning he will help out with flat tires. There are

spots to stop and have a drink. “The younger ones — they go fast, and that’s fine. I’m slowing down a bit,” he says, chuckling gently. This year’s goal is to raise $582,000. The total to date is $487,000. Porter didn’t start participating for any personal connection to MS. What he did have was a few extra pounds to shed. It was a simple matter of looking for a challenge in a group setting. He didn’t even own his first bike until 1984. Back when he started, it was a 200-kilometre roundtrip event between Kemptville and Cornwall. “Once you get into it you really enjoy (cycling).” Porter was also named life member of the legion this past April 20, an honour bestowed on just eight others at Branch 174. A written submission is made to Dominion Command in Ottawa detailing the many activities a member has helped with. Porter has helped in numerous ways: the lottery during bingo; veterans’ week activities; the list goes on. He must have crammed in a lot, considering he didn’t even join the legion until 2005. “It’s a very nice reception for staying fairly active in the legion,” he said. But what he is most enthusiastic about is his role as a veterans’ service officer. He helps fill out paperwork to get benefits for those outside active duty. “There’s nothing like helping a vet out,” he said. “When they come along and say they have a settlement with veteran affairs, that’s just great.” He also visits elderly veterans and their spouses at Christmas, giving out gifts and sharing a few laughs. Add that to the work he does for the food bank, the holiday season is no holiday for him. Some readers may make the observation that Porter is a busy man. He probably doesn’t spend a lot of the time on the couch in front of the boob tube. “No. No — I got rid of the television,” he says, laughing. “No couches in the front room either. I do like to read.” The Saskatoon-born Porter came to Arnprior some 20 years ago to run Colonial Flowers with his partner Gary Downs. Admittedly it came as a change from life in Ottawa. And military life in various cities big and small from New Brunswick to Alberta. And from his posting in Cypress all those years ago. The almost four years in the late 1960s and ’70s travelling Europe in a Volkswagen. But when you finally find the right place ... “I thought it was quite a nice little town,” he said. “Quite a big change for me.” Porter obviously enjoys socializing and helping others, but he also cherishes his privacy and respects others’. All in all, measuring the ups and downs of a lifespan, the burdens and joys, he has no regrets to date. He got into charity work because time was on his side. He wanted to use it for the benefit of others. Then it hooked him in and he ends up with various forms of recognition. “You just get into it and into it deeper and deeper,” he said, again chuckling gently. “Back then I had lots of time on my hands. “Not so much anymore.”

‘Canada at Play: 100 years of Games, Toys, Big fish swims to Carp Fair and Sports’ open now at Arnprior museum JAKE DAVIS
jake.davis@metroland.com
The Arnprior and District Museum will be hosting an exciting travelling exhibit from the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM), from Sept. 12 — Nov. 9. Canada at Play: 100 Years of Games, Toys, and Sports is a bilingual exhibit that takes a look at our favourite games and toys over the past 130 years. The new exhibit is made possible by a grant from the Government of Canada’s Museums Assistance Program. This exhibit is tailored to visitors of all ages and truly is a multi-generation event. Children’s program co-ordinator/facilitator, Becky Ranger, hopes to see families coming in together; “Kids, parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents will enjoy the displays and activities available. “We are also hoping the exhibit will attract interest from local and area schools, as we will have educational programs offered both in the museum and as a travelling program.” The exhibit is divided into four sections, covering: Winter Sports;

Artifacts from the museums own collection will accompany those provided by the ROM. The exhibition demonstrates that despite the advances in technology and manufacturing of toys, many things remain constant — board games, dolls, playsets are all still staples in children’s play rooms and schools.
Pet Adoptions
Skating, tobogganing and hockey are still integral parts of our Canadian winters. The exhibit is open Tuesday-Sunday 11 a.m.-4 p.m., until Nov. 9, 2017.

The Carp Agricultural Society offices are a buzz with activity as last minute tasks are scheduled and the final t’s are crossed and I’s dotted. The best little fair in Canada kicks off next week as the gate opens Thursday, Sept. 21 for four days of music, midway, agriculture and fun. It will be the first fair for Stephanie Verk as the Carp Fair’s general manager following the retirement of long-time general manager Joyce Trafford. Verk will be taking over for interim general manager Lynn Hudson who has filled in on an emergency basis when Verk had to take a leave of absence. Both Verk and Hudson sat down with the West Carleton Review on Monday, Sept. 11 to talk about the new positions, highlights of this, the 154th edition of the Carp Fair and what makes the event a highlight for locals and visitors alike. “I enjoy the camaraderie,” said Hudson, who is also well known around the West Carleton area for

I love to see everyone’s faces, you can see the excitement on them.” And there is lots of excitement to be had this year. “We have a big focus on Canada 150 this year,” Verk said. “Our theme is Canada Proud: Tell Your Story.” Twoonie Thursday kicks off the fair on Sept. 21 starting at 6 p.m.. It’s $2 to get in and $2 for any ride on the midway. Musically speaking, fan favourite Gail Gavan performs along with the Ryans. Gates open Friday at 9 a.m. for a full day of fun. There is a pay one price midway bracelet for $30. The Eastern Regional Clydesdale Association Show takes place and it is also the day for the fair’s School Fair – Agriculture Awareness School Program. “We have about 400 students coming from 10 different Ottawa-area schools. “They stay the whole day and learn about beef, dairy, pigs, honey and horticulture,” Hudson said. “We really stay true to our agricultural roots.” Friday is also 4-H Achievement Day. Live music kicks off at 3 p.m. with Lucky Ron and Steve Stacey. The horse pull is scheduled for 7 p.m. and Little Bones and Silver Creek hit the stage at 8 p.m. Saturday is another full day starting at 9 a.m. Highlights of the day include the 154th Carp Fair Ceremonial Parade, a host of horse and beef shows, a strongman competition and the antique auction. Live music starts at 1 p.m. with Delaney Grant, Kelli Trottier and George Fox. Saturday night features Canadian Country Music Award 2017 Male Artist of the Year Brett Kissel with Rainwater Whiskey opening. Sunday is another 9 a.m. start and full day for the fair’s finale. Horses, sheep and more cows are the day’s highlights with an afternoon music line-up including Wade Foster and Doubleback, Robin Averill and Joe Turner, and Leahy The Next Generation. Ask Verk what she is looking most forward to and… “Can I say the food?” she answers, only partially joking. “You work all year long putting it together. You see the midway going up and people trickling in and you just get so excited it’s here.” Verk will officially replace Hudson shortly after the fair. Hudson is a long-time board member filling in while Verk was on leave and Trafford retired. Verk has been with the fair since 2013 where she worked on media and advertising. “Joyce kind of took me under her wing and showed me the ropes,” she said. “Seeing such a great organization work together, all the amazing volunteers – we really are a family.” And that family is looking forward
HOME, GARDEN & RENOVATIONS Several local homes on the annual Ontario Natural Homes Tour ONTARIO NATURAL BUILDING COALITION
On Sunday, Sept. 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., dozens of unique Ontario natural homes and buildings of all types will be opening their doors, offering opportunities for the general public to step inside and see how they really look, feel and work, and to get feedback from the homeowners. Locally in Renfrew County, in the KillaloeWilno-Barry’s Bay area, there are two off-grid passive solar homes that are opening their doors to the public. These unique local homes also incorporate other innovative technologies as well including; radiant floor heating, solar and wood fired domestic hot water systems, solar electricity, unique water catchment and waste-treatment systems. This tour is the perfect opportunity to step right inside some natural buildings, see what they are like, and get honest feedback from the owners about all aspects of their homes. This self-guided annual tour, which helps
spread the word about the environmental importance of choosing natural building materials and renewable technologies, will take place across various regions of Ontario. Natural building may be the housing equivalent to the increasingly popular 100 mile diet – living in energy efficient homes and additions that are crafted from minimally processed, renewable and local materials. People choose natural homes for many reasons ranging from energy efficiency, to the healthiness of the materials, to a desire for architecturally interesting and unique homes and additions. There is an appeal for every interest and the demand continues to grow. For the location of the buildings on this selfguided tour, see the map on the Ontario Natural Building Coalition website: www.naturalbuildingcoalition.ca (or call 613-633-3557, prior to Sept 24.) Fee for the tour is $10, (payable on line at www.naturalbuildingcoalition.ca) or by dona- There are two off-grid passive solar homes in the Killaloe-Wilno-Barry’s Bay area that are tion. opening their doors to the public on Sunday, Sept. 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Country Music Hall of Fame set to induct four new members OTTAWA VALLEY COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME A multi-talented and versatile artist,
It was 1981 when the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame (OVCMHOF) honoured the late Mac Beattie as its first inductee. Now, 36 years later, the organization will be adding four new members to the prestigious list of inductees at its annual awards show and induction ceremonies later this month. The lifetime contributions of Eddie Bimm, Lyman Gardiner, Roddy McCann, and Jon Park-Wheeler will be recognized, and the Hall of Fame show also promises country music fans an evening of some of the best entertainers the Ottawa Valley has to offer. “We’re excited about this year’s show and we can promise you a great evening of entertainment as we induct our 2017 Hall of Fame members,” said Jim Long, OVCMHOF president. “We will be recognizing their many achievements and contributions that have furthered country music in our community.” The event is set for Centrepointe Theatre in Nepean on Sunday, Sept. 24. Eddie Bimm was born and raised in Pembroke, and has spent 50 years in the music and entertainment business ever since he formed his first band when he was just 15 years old.
Bimm can play everything from jazz to country, classical to rock, and everything in between. His talents have led him to doing studio work and touring with recording artists such as Susan Aglukark, Charlie Major, Sneezy Waters, the Cooper Brothers, Randall Prescott, and Wayne Rostad. He has also recorded music for CBC, CJOH, and the National Film Board of Canada, making numerous television appearances through the years. He currently performs with Johnny Vegas and Sherry Harding, and has been the band leader for many years with the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame band. Lyman Gardiner is no stranger to the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame as he was on the board of directors for 25 years, and played a role in honouring 105 inductees during that time. He held down numerous roles on the board, including several terms as president. All the while, his focus was on showcasing the endless talent and accomplishments of country music artists and volunteers in the Ottawa Valley. Born and raised in Carleton Place, Gardiner still calls the Ottawa Valley home today, living along the Missis-
22 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, September 21, 2017
Roddy McCann sippi River in Pakenham with his wife Doris Rankin. The two have raised two children — Rachael and Robert — and the family continues to volunteer in their community. Roddy McCann has always had music in his blood, and his talents have taken him on the road to perform for nearly 60 years. He first began playing sax professionally in 1960 with The Valiants, then he joined the Showmen in 1962. For both bands, he became a staple on the west-Quebec music scene. It was in the early 1970s when he took
a sabbatical to Europe and joined two Irish show bands, touring Ireland, England, and Wales before spending six weeks on an American Forces base in western Germany. Building on that experience, he became the resident sax player at Irwin Prescott’s Golden Rail in Vanier in 1973, before forming the band Patchwork — then Private Stock — in the Ottawa area. McCann was also part of Bobby Curtola’s backup band when he was in Ottawa. He’s been part of The Fabulous Heartbeats band since the 1990s and continues to entertain around the Ottawa Valley. Jon Park-Wheeler cannot remember a time in his life that didn’t involve music. The Ottawa native, who now calls the Eganville area home, began his music career with piano lessons as a child. But it was when the Beatles led the British Invasion of music to North America that he was drawn to the guitar. Fifty-three years later, he continues to hone his craft. ParkWheeler has performed across Canada, and as far abroad as Europe and Australia. He’s worked with an impressive list of artists, including John “Spider” Macdonald, Neville Wells, Carroll Baker, Ronnie Prophet, and The Family Brown. He has made numerous television appearances and was also the puppeteer on the kids’ TV show Marie Soleil for all 130 episodes. He con-
tinues to share his music by teaching and released his first solo CD in 2013. He said none of this would have been possible without Heather, his wife of 43 years. They have two children — Ozzie and Jesse. Great evening planned In addition to the induction ceremonies, some of the Valley’s most talented entertainers will take to the stage at Centrepointe throughout the evening. The lineup includes: Eddie Bimm; Roddy McCann; Jon Park-Wheeler; Bahoo, Brat & The Commander; Ray and Glen Adams; Cheryl Adrain; Colin Amey; Dan Ducharme; Cashman Ford; Lauren Hall; Mike Hamelin; Sherri Harding; Eric Hawkes; Dusty King Jr.; Laurie Laporte-Piticco; Danny Loyer; Emma & Will March; Casey McCann; Brendan & Jamie McMunn; Brad & Barry Munro; Steve Piticco; Dan Paul Rogers; and Johnny Spinks. The evening will be hosted by 2004 HOF inductee Art Jamieson. The show begins at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 24 at Nepean’s Centrepointe Theatre and tickets are $40 per person. You can buy them online at www. centrepointetheatres.com or by calling 613-580-2700.

Dave Babineau was crowned the B flight champion with a two-day score of 158 (78-80) and Kevin Ledgerwood captured the C flight championship with a two-day score of 171 (85-86). Kevin Ledgerwood also captured the Marcellus Trophy emblematic of the low net score over the two-day event. Ledgerwood’s net score was 135. Playing conditions were very challenging on both days but the course was in exceptional condition thanks to the tireless efforts of Martyn Munro and his staff. Great job to everyone involved in the maintenance of the course. Other low shooters in A flight included Travis Fraser, Jack Killeen, Jon Freda, Robert Carruthers, Curtis Proulx (also the Junior Club Champion for 2017), Dan McCaskill and Kevin Ryan.

Doctor fundraiser doubles support over inaugural year DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
This year’s Doctors Dining Duel, in support of the Arnprior and Area Physicians Recruitment Committee, was almost twice the size. And it more than doubled the money raised last year. The Friday, Sept. 15 event raised $12,500. Held at Nick Smith Centre for the first time, the second annual gala night pinned doctor against doctor in a gastro showdown. This time 12 doctors were involved, up from seven. Each has a culinary partner, typically from an area restaurant, to collaborate on a dish that about 100 attendees taste and vote on. The various winners are: • The People’s Choice award winner for best appetizer was won by the team of Dr. John Kiskis and Wendy Crego from Island View Retirement Suites for their Crego’s Crostini creation; • The Sponsor’s Choice award winner was the team of Dr. Rob Taylor and Chris and Michael Dzieken from The 2 Grands for their Surf and Turf appetizer; • The Physician Recruitment Committee Choice award winner was the team of Dr. Cindy Morrison and Lance Bowes and Tracey Bridges from Bridges Bar and Grill for their Porky Pig’s Cheesy Date. MC Jason Marshall was amazed with the support shown, and the
upbeat atmosphere of folks talking across round tables and sharing laughs at the food stations. “It’s a really great event. Looking around the room you see people of all ages,” he said. “And that’s really heartwarming to see because people see the value in recruiting and retaining doctors. The retaining is really important too.” He said most people in town recognize that a vibrant hospital is crucial to a successful community.

Shirley Macdonald December 4, 1967 - September 22, 2012 Just when your life was brightest, Just when your years were best, You were called from this world, to a home of eternal rest. Her loving face we hope to see again, Though the days have passed away; Sleep on dear Shirley, and take your rest, We miss you most who loved you best. Sad are the hearts of many, Yet brave as she’d want us to be, Consoled by the thought of meeting, on the shore of eternity. The depths of sorrow we cannot tell, Of the loss of one we loved so well, And while she sleeps a peaceful sleep Her memory we shall always keep. Five years have passed since that sad day, The one we loved was called away, God took her home, it was His will, But in our hearts she liveth still. In loving memory, Matt, Irene, Ken, Kareen, Allan & Kevin

You didn’t have to guess what grade Miss Crosby was talking to in our one-room schoolhouse. She had only to look down from her desk and cast her eyes on those she wished to speak to, and the rest of us were expected to keep ourselves busy. That day she told the Senior Fourths, my sister and brothers’ grade, that she had a special lesson for them. They were to write an essay on all the things that made them happy and grateful. It was their homework, and Miss Crosby gave them a week to do it in. As often happened when my sister Audrey was doing her homework at the kitchen table at night, she would take a piece of paper and hand me a pencil, and she would print simple words, and I would have to copy them to improve on my printing. I had yet to learn to write. She would do the same with simple arithmetic sums, and I was never sure if what Audrey did was because she was anxious that I keep up with those in my grade at school, or if she was practicing to be a teacher, which was what she dreamed of being when she was finished at the Northcote School. And so when she was working at the table that night on her essay, she seemed very deep in thought. She kept looking my way, and once she even patted my hand and smiled. I thought this all very odd, but then, it was pretty hard for me, so
day came when Miss Crosby had read all the essays, and handed them back. I saw that my sister had three gold stars on the top sheet. One star was a real honour ... but three stars were right up there with getting top honours in the spelling bee! Audrey quickly tucked the sheets into her book bag. It was many weeks later when my best friend Velma was over to play that I found Audrey’s essay in the back of her washstand drawer, and I asked Velma if she would read it to me. Velma was in one grade higher than I was, smart as a whip, and had long since learned to write instead of print, and could also read. Well! What a revelation! Audrey had written what made her happiest was when she read to me at night before we went to bed. She said just watching me, her little sister, smile, and sometimes laugh, or stay perfectly still as the story unfolded, brought her the utmost happiness, and then she finished her essay by saying she was grateful she had a little sister like Mary! I didn’t let on to Audrey that I knew what her essay was about, but I knew I too had something to be both happy and grateful for, for a very long time to come.
Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
much younger than Audrey, to second guess what was on her mind. It was getting close to bedtime, and I asked Audrey if she would read to me what she had written. She said she had a lot more to write, and besides, she didn’t think Miss Crosby would want anyone else to read it before she handed it in. I certainly wasn’t going to question my sister, but I would sure have loved to hear what made her happy and grateful. And I wondered if she dared to write that when Mother bought her her very first bra at Walker’s Store, she said she was never as happy in her whole life! Gone were the strips of flour bagging that she tied around her chest! Could that be what she was writing about? No, because it wasn’t unusual for Miss Crosby to read what a pupil had written if she thought it deserved it. And that would mortify my shy sister Audrey! Well, every night Audrey got out her scribbler and wrote, erased, wrote and erased some more. My brothers had finished long ago, and had already handed in their essays to Miss Crosby. And then just the day Interested in an electronic it was due, Audrey gave it one version of Mary’s books? Go to final read, and put it on the https://www.smashwords.com corner of the teacher’s desk. I and type MaryRCook for ebook thought I would never know purchase details, or if you would what had taken Audrey so like a hard copy, please contact long to write. And then the Mary at wick2@sympatico.ca.

Michael Runtz leads Walk on the Wild Side On Sunday, Sept. 10, the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) held its third annual “Walk on the Wild Side” with “naturalist Supremo” Michael Runtz at High Lonesome, its 200 acre property near Pakenham with its delightful mix of rich wetlands, forests and meadows. Michael Runtz is one of Canada’s most highly respected naturalists. The fifty participants were held spellbound by Michael’s insights about plants, insects, birds and of course beaver as he transformed a simple walk along the High Lonesome trails into an amazing adventure in the wild. To date, MMLT has legally protected over 2,400 acres of sensitive lands in eastern Ontario. MMLT believes that nature experiences provide numerous benefits that contribute to our physical, emotional and spiritual health. MMLT’s annual fall colours walk at Blueberry Mountain will take place on Sunday Oct. 1, its property near Flower Station, about one hour southwest of Submitted Almonte. The view from the top of the Michael Runtz leads the Sept. 10 Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) held its mountain is breathtaking.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, when an opportunity comes your way, resist the temptation to pass it up thinking something better is on the horizon. There are no guarantees, so make the most of this chance. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Many things around the home need your attention, Taurus. But you may be having trouble finding the motivation to tackle them right now. Get a partner to lend a helping hand.
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!

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, make a concerted and sincere effort to focus on family for the next few days. It’s time to reconnect with everyone in the house, and you will enjoy the time at home.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 It can be challenging to find initial support for your ideas, Leo. However, once you explain all of the specifics, there’s a good chance others will climb on board.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, focus on something new for a while rather than a problem that has been bouncing around in your brain. Frustration will get you nowhere, so let it go for now.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Risk can sometimes have a large payoff, Virgo. Just make sure you time your jump right or you could miss an opportunity to really shine.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, if you push yourself a little harder this week, you will be happy with the results. Even though it may be an uphill battle, the summit will look pretty nice. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, just when you think you can lie low and escape the week without any excitement, something pops up that requires all of your attention. Hunker down for now.
