arrest at Rexall Pharmacy earlier this month. It is alleged a female employee was stealing narcotics from the Daniel Street store “over a period of several months.” The employee faces theft and trafficking charges. A second employee was fired at the same time.
Const. Janice Sawbridge won’t name the types of drugs stolen because they are evidence in a court case. She didn’t discuss the volume of drugs or who might have been the end user. But she is almost completely certain the flow has stopped. There isn’t a noticeable spike
in prescription abuse that OPP is aware of in Arnprior. The number one source for those seeking a high from legal narcotics, she added, remains the family medicine cabinet. “We don’t feel that there was any concern about these narcotics being sold to young people,”
Sawbridge said. “Far more often they are stealing them from their parents or grandparents.” Newly hired pharmacy manager Maleeha Jahanzeb declined comment, saying someone from the corporation’s head office will answer questions. See NEW Page 7

Time to tackle wild parsnip is next year, council told John Carter
john.carter@metroland.com
It’s too late to eradicate wild parsnip this summer, but it will be a goal next year, McNabBraeside council was told last week. In response to a question by Coun. Heather Lang, public works director Ryan Frew explained that the plant prompting safety concerns has already started seeding, so mowing it could cause more problems than it would
solve. He reported that some roadside mowing has been done, but has wild parsnip has not yet been officially classified a noxious weed, a specific plan was not generated to deal with it. “We’ll have to look at it to see what we can do next year.” Frew said that some counties have a spraying program, but that is “fairly expensive” and requires trained operators. Mowing isn’t the complete answer as some of the plants are in hard-to-get-at places, such

as deep ditches, he said. It is up to landowners to deal with wild parsnip on private property, he added. WEED INSPECTOR
The matter was raised at council’s July 21 meeting during discussion of whether the township needs its own weed inspector. Councillors agreed that like most other area municipalities the job should be left up to the
area weed inspector. Jason Davis has recently been appointed to the post by the County of Renfrew. Since 2001 the duties in McNab-Braeside have been carried out by township roads superintendent Brian Box, but council agreed it was time to rescind that bylaw and instead partner with the county. “Sounds good … it’s one less thing the roads super has to do,” noted Coun. Mark MacKenzie.
County advises on dangers of wild parsnip Staff
39 WINNERS CIRCLE, ARNPRIOR
First it was hogweed, now it’s wild parsnip that is causing concern in the Upper Ottawa Valley. In response to a flurry of calls from people worried they could break out in boils or even go blind if coming in contact with the weed, the County of Renfrew has issued a release urging residents to get informed but not panic about the plant. “The best way to avoid contact with wild parsnip is to become familiar with what the plant looks like and the proper handling techniques when dealing with the plant,” advises the County. Its news release points out that wild parsnip is an invasive plant that is increasingly
common within Renfrew County and Eastern Ontario. The plant is found in areas such as road shoulders, roadside ditches, rail corridors, uncultivated lands and trails such as the Millennium Trail. “Wild parsnip may pose a health risk to humans,” says the county, noting the plant
sap may cause skin and eye irritation and make the skin prone to severe 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 long-term scarring of the skin. Wild parsnip can be easily identified as it is a highly branched plant, with hollow green stems. It has two growth stages: non-flowering leafy rosettes at ground level and half- to 1.5 metre-tall yellow flowering plants. In the first year of growth, low-growing non-flowering rosettes of leaves form with a cluster of spindly, compound leaves that resemble celery leaves. See WILD PARSNIP, Page 12

Long-time educator appointed public school board trustee Staff
A long-time Braeside and Arnprior resident and teacher, Kimberley Dunsmoor-Lough, has been appointed as the new Arnprior-McNab-Braeside trustee on the Renfrew County District School Board. Dunsmoor-Lough was one of three candidates applying to replace Glenn Miller, who stepped down July 1 citing health reasons. The announcement was made Tuesday, July 21 with Dunsmoor-Lough to be officially sworn in at the Aug. 25 public school board meeting. The new ArnpriorMcNab-Braeside representative, who has a Masters of Education from the University of Ottawa, has spent her entire career in Renfrew County as both an elementary school and special education resource JAKE DAVIES/SUBMITTED teacher. “We had three strong Kimberley Dunsmoore-Lough has been chosen to replace Glenn Miller at the Renfrew County public school board trustee for Arnprior and candidates and it was a very tough decision,” noted McNab-Braeside
Renfrew County public school board chair Dave Shields in a school board news release. “We appreciate the fact we have a longtime resident of Arnprior (as trustee).” Not only was Dunsmoor-Lough a teacher in the public school system, her three children are Arnprior District High School graduates. “I believe I consistently demonstrated a knowledge of board policies and Ministry of Education initiatives, as well as, a deep interest in public education,” Dunsmoor-Lough said in her application. “I feel I would be a dedicated representative for the people who live in my community and I believe this opportunity would allow me to explore the public education system from a different perspective. “I have always been a dedicated worker who is committed to performing every job to the highest standards.” After a long day of inter-
views, the board of trustees is excited to move forward with a full slate of trustees around the table. “We are pleased to welcome our successful candidate Kimberley DunsmoorLough to the RCDSB and look forward to working with her in her new role as trustee representing the Arnprior area,” said vicechair Wendy Hewitt. “With her willingness to learn we believe she will be an excellent addition to the board of trustees.” It could be a challenging term for trustees, with teachers feuding with the R0013234340

To help him with expenses, a fundraising dance is scheduled for Friday, Aug. 21 from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Renfrew Legion. Tickets are available at Crazy Beautiful Nails and Piercings on Daniel Street in Arnprior and Norman E. Wallace Jewellers in Renfrew.

The Experience You Need…
The Respect You Deserve
Dear Friends, Family and Loyal Customers,
How wonderful it is to finally be able to say thank you for all of the love, care and support through this last year and a half. Almost two summers ago I began having some health issues. Symptoms began with heaviness in my legs, numbness in my left arm, and imbalance. Many tests were done but results were inconclusive, it was a mystery.
Roxanne Whitman-Barr
Now Open for business. Welcoming all.
While doctors were trying to figure things out I began passing out. Dr.Geenough and Dr. Gordon decided to keep me in the hospital. Finally voila! They discovered that I had what is called “sick sinus syndrome” which causes the heart rhythm to slow resulting in passing out. I needed a pacemaker which automatically kicks in when the heart decides to descend. Thank God for pacemakers! After that, it was also discovered that I had severe spinal stenosis which is the narrowing of spaces in the spine (backbone) which causes pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. This resulted in another surgery for without it I may have ended up in a wheel chair.
It’s been a slow process and a long recovery but I’m so happy to be back. I’m in physio, Kim has been wonderful. I walk daily with a friend. My doctors are very pleased with my recovery. I wasn’t at all sure what God had planned for me but I knew it would be for good whatever it was. I truly learned over the years and through this experience the meaning of the word “Trust”. Recovery has been ongoing and I’m continuously learning and accepting that this takes time and patience. I have way more fun now looking after all of my clients, family, friends and community. I thought that I loved hairdressing before but after all of this I appreciate it even more. Oh, and by the way, after thanking all of my family, friends, clients, and parish for all of the care, meals, monetary gifts, gift cards and flowers oh my goodness I could go on and on. I want to thank all of my fellow hairdressers out there for taking such good care of my clients. I knew you would! We hairdressers are such a community and we are all like family. I have chatted with many of you on the phone and you all have been so helpful.
My journey has been tough but very helpful in keeping me continuously grateful for the gift of life and all life has to offer despite all of our trials. A very wise client of mine who is no longer with us, Alma McNab said “the bumps are what we climb on”. I’ve never forgotten that.

Loggers’ memorial project proposed for Red Pine Bay john.carter@metroland.com
McNab-Braeside Coun. Heather Lang is making headway on a Loggers’ Memory Project on the Ottawa River at Red Bay. Lang updated township council on the initiative July 21, suggesting it would
be appropriate to be developed for Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations in 2017. She said federal ministry representatives agree it would fit the criteria for anniversary projects. She is suggesting a curved wall of pictorial carvings in stone and wood along the lines of the arti-

Lang said she has already talked to local artisans including Burnstown sculptor Richard Gill and the Arnprior-McNab-Braeside archivist to get ideas. The plan is to invite local artisans to contribute to the wall monument. A federal grant would be applied for to provide funding for the contributors and the Archives would help source historic images to provide inspiration for the artists. Lang also suggested that the township could look into having the section of Usborne Street that runs by Red Pine Bay and the former Gillies mill renamed Loggers Way. Council was enthusiastic with the memory project, with Deputy Mayor Brian Armsden noting that “in principle it’s a great idea.” However, there needs to be more discussion if the road name is to be changed, he said. Lang agreed, noting that was just one of the “things thrown out there,” in what is still a very preliminary proposal. Mayor Tom Peckett said it is certainly an initiative worth looking into further, to which Lang noted she will continue fact-gathering.
sans’ wall at Peggy’s Cove in Nova Scotia. The Red Pine Bay wall would feature logging scenes such as horses pulling logs out of the bush, log drives down the Madawaska, the forming and poling of logging cribs on the Ottawa, and activities at the now closed Gillies lumber mill. Lang pointed out that McNabBraeside owes its beginnings to the arrival of the Laird of McNab and the logging industry. The former is commemorated at the Waba Cottage Museum in White Lake. The Loggers’ Memory Project in Braeside would pay homage to the area’s historic lumbering past and the many township residents who were engaged in the industry. This is where the masts came from for Lord Nelson’s fleet, which defeated the Spanish Armada, she noted. Lang said Red Pine Bay is the “perfect spot” for the memory wall, having a beautiful vista of the Ottawa River, being just upriver from the former Gillies Mill and near to the old Gillies office on Usborne Street. While still in the informationgathering stage of the project,

Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital is among 56 hospitals across the province benefitting from recently announced new funding.

frew Victoria Hospital, Deep River and District Hospital, and St. Francis Memorial Hospital will receive funds. The one per cent increase is welcomed by hospital officials, although not enough to offset inflation. But at least it is a modest boost after a couple of years of no increases. “As chair of the Small, Rural and Northern Provincial Leadership Council, we appreciate the government’s support of small hospitals across Ontario,” said
Eric Hanna, president and CEO of Arnprior Regional Health. “The one per cent increase to our base will help us deal with financial pressures associated with the growth in patient volume and acuity.” “This funding is important and required in our ongoing efforts to maintain programs and services in rural communities,” said Randy Penney, president and CEO of Renfrew Victoria and St. Francis Memorial hospitals.

“What happens with hospitals normally is they get an adjustment. In the past it’s been higher percentages but it’s been zero for the past couple of years,” explained Penney. Expenses continue to rise and even with salaries frozen, there’s more vacation time to give and staff members are moving up the grid, he noted. “It costs about $300,000 more each year to operate the organization,” said Penney.

funding is well-needed and helpful. “It will help us deal with inflationary pressures,” he added. “Hospitals play a particularly important role in small communities, as providers of care, as employers and as corporate citizens,” said Dr. Eric Hoskins, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care, in a press release announcing the funds. “This additional funding will ensure that local hospitals can continue to put
patients first, by enabling access to care that is close to home.” The one per cent increase in base funding translates to an increase of $7 million in funding for small hospitals across Ontario. Ontario has also created a Small and Rural Transformation Fund, which fosters innovation and encourages collaboration among small and rural hospital and community care providers, so they can operate as integrated networks.

The latest report by the non-partisan Parliamentary Budget Office(PBO) has confirmed what Canadians already know. When it comes to managing an advanced economy in a first world country like Canada, experience counts! Budgets do not just “balance themselves.” There is no time for on the job training, especially if your teacher/senior advisor is responsible for bad policy like the Toronto liberal (so-called) Ontario Green Energy Act. This bad policy, among many bad provincial policies, has resulted in out-of- control electricity rates, causing a net loss of 212 thousand manufacturing jobs in Ontario since 2004. The good news is, if all the PBO’s projections are realized, Canada is on track to eliminate the federal net deficit. This has been accomplished without downloading costs on to the Provinces, or raiding the employment insurance account, which is how the old government in the 1990s balanced the budget. The $32 billion Canada Health Transfer will continue to grow affordably, at the rate of general growth plus inflation. Among the winners of federal economic policy are the residents of Ontario. Ontario is number one in Canada when it comes to receiving federal transfer payments, 20.5 billion in combined health, social and equalization payments in this fiscal year alone, to pay for services you and your family count on. The losers have been the rest of Canada, who are being forced to prop up the Toronto liberal party’s spending addiction. Ontario has gone from a “have” to a “have not” province, reduced to begging for handouts from the federal government. By 2017, Ontario’s debt levels will have doubled from when that party took office, to 325 billion, $23,000 per capita. Interest payments alone on the debt exceed what is spent in Ontario on post-secondary education. According to the Provincial Auditor General, provincial liberal debt is being accumulated for the wrong reasons. For example, the $50 billion “global adjustment” carbon tax that has been added to electricity bills since 2006 to pay for lucrative wind turbine contracts and cancelled gas-powered electricity plants could have paid the annual salary of about 2.3 million Ontarians working full time at minimum wage, or used to reduce the provincial debt. Ontario’s poor performance is a drag on the Canadian economy. Canada has been very fortunate to have a leader in Ottawa who has worked hard to protect jobs and balance the federal budget. Feeding the Ontario spending addiction is wrong. The mistakes made in Toronto must not be allowed to be repeated federally, which is the Opposition plan. Claims by the Opposition that a balanced budget is not important are equally wrong.

The new OPP building in Renfrew should open on time, but a delay has stalled the construction timeline. The County of Renfrew is hiring a contractor for the job at 450 O’Brien Rd. t will oversee the shell, with the province and OPP in charge of contents. Last year the county set aside $3.9 million internally for the project, then welcomed bidders. None of the companies vying for the work came even close to the budgeted amount. One went as high as $5.9 million; the lowest was $700,000 over. The county rejected all offers, effectively delaying the tender
The province was three months late getting around to issuing OPP specifications for the interior. Emon is confident the province will pay the difference any delays caused. “Any costs due to their delay will likely be compensated to us,” he said. The plan is to still retender it at the original price but to scale back on masonry work in favour of steel, along with other cost-saving changes. Emon added that even if the OPP decided to pull out after its 15-year contract with the county is done, the building will be left in a multi-use condition. “There is no cost to the taxpayer for the duration of the OPP contract,” he said. Construction of the joint Renfrew-Arnprior detachment was to start in August. If it doesn’t begin until September, Emon said, there is still time to have the grand opening as originally anticipated on Aug. 1, 2016.

OPP cruisers were involved in two separate crashes last week, one in Arnprior. On Sunday, July 19 at about 11:40 a.m., OPP Constable Raul Pasta Junior was driving a cruiser westbound on Madawaska Boulevard when a 2014 Dodge Journey exited a parking lot and collided with the cruiser. The front of the cruiser struck the Journey on the driver’s side. No one suffered injuries, but both vehicles needed to be towed from the scene. An 80-year-old Kinburn man was charged with failing to yield from a private driveway. On Thursday, July 23 at about 9:21 p.m., OPP Sgt. Don Francis was driving a fully marked cruiser on Highway 17 eastbound approaching Gillan Road in Horton. A 2006 Chevrolet Malibu was stopped at the stop sign on Gillan road. OPP report the Malibu turned left in front
of the police cruiser and was struck on the driver’s side. Both drivers suffered minor injuries. A 20-year-old Horton woman was issued a provincial offence notice for failing to yield to traffic on a through road. On Thursday, July 23 at 11:07 p.m., Arnprior OPP officers responded to a report of a possible impaired driver who had gone through the drive-thru at Wendy’s on Baskin Drive. Police located the 2008 Hyundai Elantra in a parking lot on Baskin Drive. OPP report the man in the driver’s seat had been drinking and failed a roadside alcohol screening test. Following breath tests at the detachment, a 27-year-old Ottawa man was charged with impaired control of a motor vehicle, possession of marijuana and being a novice driver with a blood alcohol content above zero. ‘MOVE OVER’
The OPP will be focusing their enforce-
ment efforts on traffic and marine safety over the Civic holiday long weekend. Police caution motorists that they can expect to see officers specifically targeting aggressive drivers, drivers and passengers not using seatbelts, impaired drivers and distracted drivers. They will also target motorists who ignore the Move Over Law, which required drivers to yield to emergency vehicles with their emergency lights activated. The law requires drivers to slow down and proceed with caution when approaching an emergency vehicle parked on the side of the highway with its lights activated. If the highway has more than one lane, the law requires the driver to move over and leave one lane between their vehicle and the parked emergency vehicle when it can be done safely. Failure to do so can result in fines from $400 to $2,000 and three demerit points for a first offence.

ple. Morale is low, said the source. Head office used interim managers and help from the pharmacist in nearby Almonte to get by over the winter and spring, said the source. But without leadership from Mississauga and at the store itself the operation fell into disarray, added the source. Tupling refused comment on staff levels, morale, and concerns the narcotics may have ended up on the streets. He read a statement instead. “We, Rexall, have a longstanding relationship with the community and customers of Arnprior, and we continue to plan to have that relationship for many years to come,” Tupling said. The store fills between 400 and 500 prescriptions per day. With staff cutbacks, the potential for error increases. The source doesn’t blame staff for the store’s woes, but suggested it is a matter of cutbacks from head office. “The people of Arnprior have right to know what’s going on.” Tupling didn’t respond directly to the source’s comments, but said individuals are responsible for their own actions. “It is completely unacceptable for
any employee to engage in any activity that results in criminal charges,” Tupling said. “That’s why this employee is no longer working at Rexall.” Charged with two counts of theft under $5,000 and four counts of trafficking in a schedule 1 drug is Brittany Hulan, 30, of Perth. She was released on a promise to appear in Renfrew court on Sept. 16. OPP Const. Lisa Nicholas and Det. Const. Hayley Chaplin investigated.

Rexall spokesman Derek Tupling said the company uncovered the theft and called police on July 16. “We noticed some discrepancies and initiated an internal investigation,” Tupling said. “It would be inappropriate to comment any further. It is an ongoing OPP investigation.” A source familiar with industry standards – and who is close to the Arnprior store - said inventory checks of narcotics are infrequent at best; that every six months is the legal standard. However, some pharmacies perform checks every couple of months. Others, such as Rexall in Arnprior, even conduct checks when a new manager is brought aboard. “The new manager did a check and found the discrepancy. It was a week of questioning staff,” said the source. “She may have confessed.” The store became “very disorganized” after a competent 20-year manager left in September 2014, said the source. At least 20 employees left in a six- to nine-month period, according to the source. The store employs about 35 peo-

OPINION
Connected to your community
Our athletes make us proud I t was so easy to be smug about the Pan Am Games. The Games are in Toronto, the one place in Canada those of us who live outside of the GTA can stand united in our shared disdain. Here in the Ottawa Valley, for the past few years, has there been any more enjoyable sport than laughing at the plight of the sad-sack Maple Leafs while cheering on the pesky Sens? But it wasn’t just those of us outside Toronto who so easily dismissed the Pan Am Games. Media reports in the lead-up to the start of the Games were at times gleeful in the way they pointed out that even in Hogtown the event was not creating a buzz among residents. It was just the Pan Am Games after all, not the Olympics. Stories about slow ticket sales were the norm, and much of the coverage from the national media focused on the manner in which the Games were going to be an inconvenience to residents of that city rather than an event to create civic and national pride. And then a funny thing happened, as is often the case, when the competitions actually began. Canadians, from coast to coast, started to embrace the Games and have been delighted by the level of success our athletes are accomplishing. Athletes from Ottawa and the Valley have been among those collecting a record number of Pan Am medals for Canada. There are several moments to treasure like
the magnificent finishing push by Valley girl Melissa Bishop in winning a gold medal in the women’s 800-metre final. This was quite the story, considering she missed a month of training in May due to an ankle injury. There was the delight shown by the Smedleys of West Carleton, who put their heart and soul into the games with two of the family being competitors, another a physiotherapist and a fourth a judge. They, and Canada, were rewarded with a silver medal performance by Cameron in canoe slalom. There was the excitement on social media expressed by Dunrobin resident, world-ranked squash player, Samantha Cornett. Another Valley girl (born in Deep River), Cornett won three medals in her sport. And there was the 100-watt smile on the face of Nepean born and raised Andrew D’Souza’s face after he beat the top ranked player to qualify for the gold medal match in badminton. For many of the athletes from this area who are participating in the Games, this will be as big as it gets in their career. Some may go on to represent Canada at the Olympics or at world championships, but many won’t. The Pan Am Games is an experience they will cherish for the rest of their lives. Yes, it was easy to be smug about the Games before they began, but now it is all about our athletes, and after all their hard work they richly deserved their moment to shine.
Partners in Caring appreciates all the community support To the Editor: I wanted to write and thank our local community for the support we have received so far this summer. Partners in Caring Foundation (PIC) has been honored as the charity recipient of several events in July. The month started off with the Canada Day Classic Car Show at East Side Mario’s. While Canada Day weather left a lot to be desired, the car show was successful. Registration fees along with donations amounted to $300. The Monday night bingo at the Legion on July 6 made $185 for Partners in Caring. On July 5 Partners in Caring hosted a successful garden tour organized by Roger Danby.

Canada Post needs to reinvent itself sponsibility does not have to be an attack on the economy, (or jobs). In fact this is the balanced approach of our federal government; protecting the environment while preserving jobs. Canada Post is in the business of paperbased communications. The comment “perhaps it’s time for Canada Post to consider reinventing itself” is exactly what Canada Post is trying to do. Today’s reality is people have other ways of keeping in touch with one another other than using paper, like smart phones and the Internet. The rise of Twitter, Facebook and other electronic means of communication have resulted in severe de-
clines in mail volumes. Many people pay their bills electronically. You can receive flyers electronically. Small businesses have websites. Times are changing. Canada Post recognizes these facts. The challenge comes when intentions clash with reality. The campaign to eliminate advertising (ad or junk) mail is being supported by environmental groups who do not believe in harvesting the forest. They believe cutting trees contributes to global warming. See LETTER CARRIERS, page 10

Canada Post should be independent of political interference Continued from page 9
Eighty per cent of what is in a letter carrier’s mail bag is ad mail; 100 per cent is made from paper from trees. Junk mail pays the bills at Canada Post. Eliminate ad mail and there will be little if
anything to put in a letter carrier’s mailbag to deliver. Ask your letter carrier what they choose, a job or the environment? I support Canada Post’s independence to make decisions without the political interfer-
ence that is being advocated by a mis-informed minority. The plan to subsidize jobs being lost through technology and climate change is not affordable. Running a billion dollar plus annual deficit will not fund the $6.5 billion pen-
sion funding shortfall at Canada Post. The good news is unlike other industries in Ontario where workers have lost their jobs through provincial policies based on climate change, no current postal employees
are expected to lose their job as Canada Post “reinvents” itself. I welcome all suggestions regarding the environment and the future of Canada Post. Anyone can throw money at a problem and hope it goes away. Once the taxpayer
gets tired of throwing away money, you are still stuck with the same problem. I welcome your support to ‘Save Canada Post’. Cheryl Gallant, MP Renfrew-NipissingPembroke
Don’t be mislead into believing Conservatives have made country better To the Editor: “Educate yourselves people and for all our sakes, please vote a Conservative majority so we can stay on course, think of your kids and grandkids future.” (Paid advertisement, Arnprior Chronicle-Guide, Brenda McLean, July 2). I wish to respond to several of the topics addressed by Ms. McLean and to add some observations of my own. Yes, we must educate ourselves in the broadest sense of the word. Our country and its people are suffering from a regime of Reform/ Alliance changes that have changed the fabric of our country. It is time for a progressive and positive change. Ms. McLean asserts that your taxes will be higher unless you vote Conservative. A Liberal
government will lower the tax rate for middle class earners from 22 per cent to 20.5 per cent. Regarding crossborder shopping, do you really consider this a significant issue in the grand scheme of our country? Whoopee! How about supporting the Canadian economy? The benefits of the TFSA will be very limited for the average Canadian because you must have money to participate. The income splitting mentioned in the ad was not even supported by Harper’s former finance minister, The Honourable Jim Flaherty. The greatest benefit will go to only the higher income earners. The benefits indicated in this “paid advertisement” are small potatoes in the life of our country, its present and future. Let us look at some of the larger issues.
On the local scene, Arnprior has one of the highest child poverty rates in Renfrew County. “Let’s start with the statistic that is most shocking. That one in eight children living in Renfrew County is living in poverty” (Senator Jim Munson’s address to Renfrew County’s Child Poverty Action Network – 2015). The Renfrew County District Health Unit (2010) indicates that two of the “priority populations” are families with low incomes including single parent families. The health, welfare and future of our communities depends upon the well-being of all families. Mr. ‘Polyester’ Poilievre’s grand $3 billion cheque distribution in Halifax on July 20 created quite a stir. Note, this is not a taxfree benefit and parents will pay income tax on the amount received (retroactive to Jan. 1,
2015). A Liberal government will create the Canada Child Tax Benefit; one fair tax-free monthly child benefit that puts more money in the hands of the middle class. On the national front, the Harper government has: • muzzled scientists and dramatically reduced their funding. World renowned scientists are leaving Canada for countries which value their contibutions and allow their findings to be shared with the world. • gutted the Canadian Census. The long form census was a key tool in planning for the future: city development, health, education, seniors’ issues.

Blue-green algae found in two area lakes Staff
It’s edging closer to the Arnprior area. The dreaded blue-green algae has been found in Muskrat Lake near Cobden and Dickson Lake in Algonquin Park. Blue-green algae blooms are a natural seasonal phenomenon that may appear in lakes, rivers and ponds. Some species have the potential to produce toxins that may be harmful to people and animals. Toxins are released into the water when the algae cells are damaged or begin to decay. Direct contact with the toxin can cause skin irritation and if in-
gested in higher concentrations, may result in vomiting, nausea, diarrhea and abdominal pain. The latest sighting, as confirmed by the Ontario Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, has prompted the Renfrew County and District Health Unit to recommend that people using Muskrat Lake, or for that matter any water body, for recreational or drinking water purposes should become familiar with blue-green algae. Although algae blooms degrade with time, the length of time potential toxins remain in the area is dependent upon local water movement characteristics, notes the health unit.

Blue-green algae was also found in Muskrat Lake in 2013. The Muskrat Watershed Council urged people not to use beaches on the lake. “Keep humans and pets out of the water,” says a council press release. The Cobden beach isn’t closed outright but be on the lookout for algae blooms, said
the release. The Renfrew County and District Health Unit advises people to avoid direct contact with the bloom, don’t use the affected water for drinking or bathing, and don’t allow children, pets or livestock to drink or swim in the water. Boiling the water for drinking purpos-
es should be avoided because boiling may release more toxins into the water, the health unit adds. Also don’t cook with the water because foods may absorb the toxin during the hearting process and caution should be exercised with respect to eating fish caught in water where blue-green algae blooms have occurred. Health unit officials will
continue to monitor water conditions in Muskrat Lake. Earlier Ontario Parks closed Dickson Lake to overnight camping after algae was found. However, the lake remains open to canoeists paddling across it was part of the park’s canoe route network.

Wild parsnip targeted for control, removal by county crews Continued from Page 2
Second and third year plants have tall, branched flowering stalks that usually bloom in early June to late July. It is a biennial plant, reproducing only by seed. The seeds, flat and round, can lie dormant for years making it even more challenging to control. “The County of Renfrew is currently performing its annual roadside mowing
program and staff is actively working to help manage the invasive plant on roadsides where possible,” reports County area weed inspector Jason Davis. “In addition, efforts are also being made to remove targeted areas of the weed on public lands and parks. Management efforts to control the wild parsnip are proving to be a challenge across Eastern Ontario.”
Important safety information on wild parsnip hazards, control and disposal is available on the Ontario’s Invading Species Awareness Program and the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs web sites at www.invadingspecies.com/invaders/plants-terrestrial/ wild-parsnip/ as well as www.omafra. gov.on.ca/english/crops/facts/ontweeds/ wild_parsnip.htm.

For some animals love is still in the air for them
After an elaborate courtship involving wing displays, this female Ebony Jewelwing is laying her eggs on submerged plants
Michael Runtz Nature’s Way but obviously not as flying insects. They spend the winter under water in the form of gill-breathing nymphs. To get to that stage, there first must be reproduction and currently a lot of that is going on. Now you might think dragonfly and damselfly sex would be rather uncomplicated, but it is anything but that. In fact, no other animals on this planet go through more physical contortions during sex than does this group. Prior to mating, a male dragonfly twists his long abdomen down and then up under his thorax, the middle part of his body. Sperm produced near the terminal end of the abdomen is released into a special holding
chamber under the thorax. In many species that receptacle is adorned with oddlooking hooks and whips that are species-specific in shape. Once the transfer is complete, his abdomen returns to its normal position. Then the male finds a willing female. Once appropriately acquainted, the pair proceeds to the first stage of mating. The tip of the male’s abdomen is equipped with a pair of claspers, projections that bear species-specific shapes. The claspers are inserted behind the female’s head into special receptacles, which also are species-specific in shape. If the female suitably appreciates her suitor’s endowment, she proceeds to the next stage of mating. She curls her abdomen so that her sexual parts, located on the underside of one of the last abdominal segments, connect with his under his thorax. This unusual mating position, known as the “Wheel,” is unique to dragonflies and damselflies. The species-specific shape of claspers and sperm transfer tools ensure that mating between different species cannot occur. Once the female receives

sperm, one of two things occurs. In most species, the pair separates and the female flies off to lay her eggs in an appropriate site. In some of the smaller dragonfly and many damselfly species, the male remains attached to the female’s head by his claspers and the pair remains coupled while the female lays her eggs. Although elaborate courtship doesn’t occur in most species, there is one worth watching. Currently, Ebony
Jewelwings are mating. These stunning black and green damselflies frequent stream and river edges. The males flutter over perched females, which respond to the performance either with encouragement by clapping their wings over their back, or by saying “no” by holding their wings out flat. I guess you would call the latter “flat-out” rejection! The Nature Number is 613-387-2503; email is mruntz@start.ca.

With summer quietly passing, bird song is abating. A few birds, however, such as American Robins, are now into their second or even third round of nesting so some song still greets dawn. But while some birds are currently nesting, others are quietly passing through our area on their journey to southern wintering sites. Some local animals never sing or leave our area. Dragonflies and damselflies (odonates) can still be found patrolling waterways in search of food. With one exception (the Common Green Darner), these insects don’t migrate. However, the individuals flying now are not the ones that remain here through the winter. Their descendants do,

Proper child care program needed, not one-time payment: NDP class families.” McCarthy charged that the payments are intended to distract parents from the pressing issues they face in finding and paying for care for their kids. “Back in 2006, the Conservatives insisted that the UCCB was direct assistance to families for child care and it was combined with a promise of 125,000 new childcare spaces,” he said. “Nine years later, not a single childcare space has been delivered and the increased UCCB benefit is no longer about childcare.”

erage Canadian family income. “Compare real child care costs with a UCCB payment of $160 per month,” he said. “It’s not really very helpful to families. “(NDP leader) Tom Mulcair has a concrete plan to strengthen the middle class and help families get ahead by ensuring quality childcare is affordable for every Canadian family,” said McCarthy. “As Prime Minister, Tom will create a million childcare spaces for our kids and cap fees for parents at no more than $15 a day. It’s a plan that will save young families
McCarthy, a lawyer who has advocated for working people throughout his life, says the payments amount to nothing more than a very modest, and taxable, allowance for families. “But it is not as the Conservatives have finally admitted the answer to the child-care challenges faced by families. The costs of childcare are frightening for young families,” he said. It was noted the average Canadian family is paying $1,000 per month, per child and today’s average childcare costs are 18.4 per cent of the av-

money and enable greater participation in the workforce especially for women. He said there are 70,000 more women working since affordable childcare came to Quebec. “According to economist and childcare expert Pierre Fortin, this program could generate more than $3 billion for the federal government through additional revenues and reduced costs,” said McCarthy. That’s on top of the clear and substantial benefits for Canadian families.”

“Pre-election give-aways” won’t buy parents the affordable child care they need, says Renfrew-NipissingPembroke NDP federal candidate Dan McCarthy. McCarthy was responding to the lump sum increase in child care benefits received by in the mail by parents last week. In a news release Monday, he said “Stephen Harper’s hype” connected with federal Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB) payments to parents “does nothing to address the real child care needs of working, middle-
Environmental attacks on forestry misleading: MP
Child care payout only benefits richest few: Liberal payments than under Harper’s system, taxfree,” claimed Lehoux. The Liberal plan will give families more money to help with the high costs of raising their kids, and will also provide more help to lower income Canadians, he said. “Justin Trudeau is the only leader who’s truly focused on struggling middle class Canadians,” maintained Lehoux. “A Liberal government will give a seven per cent tax cut to the middle class and provide middle class families with more support. Our plan for real change will create much-needed economic growth in regions all across Canada, and put more money in the pockets of families that need it, including right here in RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke.”
R0013375796.0716
The federal government’s “unfair” child care system gives money to those who need it least, says Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke Liberal candidate Jeff Lehoux. “Harper’s Conservatives are touting the Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB) payout – which residents of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke helped pay for – that unfairly benefits the wealthiest few,” he said in a news release. Lehoux said a Liberal government will replace the UCCB with the new Canada Child Benefit, a bigger, automatic, tax-free monthly cheque that gives up to $533 a month per child directly to Canadian families. “With the Liberal plan, nine out of 10 families will receive more in monthly child benefit

cally employed workers in the forestry industry, has a higher percentage of employers in the forestry and logging sector than in the rest of the Province of Ontario,” noted Gallant. “The Upper Ottawa Valley is more vulnerable to job loss every time one of the mis-information campaigns hits the media. “The decision by the Opposition in Ottawa to depend on environmental extremists for policy jeopardizes every forestry job,” she added. Gallant maintained that Canada’s forest industry is an environmental leader, with stringent regulatory frameworks, science-based ecosystem management, robust community engagement and substantial efforts in conservation and protected areas.
Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant has welcomed the announcement by Canada’s Natural Resources Minister that environmental campaigns that target Canadian forestry practices are misleading and will be challenged. “All Canadians who rely on the working forest for their jobs need to be concerned,” said Gallant in a news release. “Millions of dollars are now being spent on false advertising and in social media,” she charged. “Many of these groups could not exist without foreign funding. She said that the “danger to jobs, democracy and Canadian values is real.” Renfrew County, with more than 5,000 lo-

The word ‘L’Arche’, well-known in Arnprior for its caring housing community, translates to the Ark - a name coined by Jean Vanier in 1964 for Noah’s Ark. Vanier had invited two men with developmental disabilities to live with him in Trosley-Breuil, France at that time. Arnprior’s involvement in L’Arche history doesn’t start until 1975 and has roots in Frontenac County. Brian and Marylou Halferty dreamed of establishing a community on their farm. Ian Squires was the first member to live with the Halfertys. Eventually in 1987, the decision was made to relocate Arnprior and the move was completed the following year. On June 20, L’Arche celebrated its 40th anniversary inside the parish hall at St. John Chrysostom church. “I believe L’Arche is now in 150 communities and 40 different countries,” said Nancy Illman, L’Arche community life co-ordinator. “Over the years the community has grown to three homes, supporting 26 core members and the office at Kenwood Place,” said
board president Frank Walczak in his report during the annual general meeting prior to the celebration. There is also a family home … providing support to people who live on their own in Arnprior. “We have lost core members over the years, but they are still remembered by the community.” At the meeting, there were photo boards and memorial books for people to look over. Among those attending the annual meeting were Brian Halferty and Ian Squires. “We had a lovely supper catered by staff at the Prior,” said Illman, noting the meal was filled out with lasagna, salad, roll, strawberries and cake. “Brian and Mary Lou Halferty brought greetings and we sang a couple of songs that were sung frequently during the farm days before the community moved to Arnprior,” said Illman. “Ian Squires had told one of our assistants, Tracy Tenedero, some stories of life on the farm, and he made a great video of them which we watched. Then we danced the night away until under the capable direction of DJ Dave Fridgen.” The celebrations followed up on festivities last year marking the 50th anniversary of Vanier establishing L’Arche.

The final standings were Perth Golf Club with 43 points, Cedarhill with 39 points and Madawaska with 38 points. View Moulin could not field a full team for the event. Six-point winners for the local team included Perry and Jon Freda along with Dan McCaskill. Other team members included Gary Grainger, Travis Fraser, Bill Descoteaux, Kevin Ryan, Bob Carty, Caleb Brown, Ken Ledgerwood, Ray Kulchyski and Robert Carruthers. Congratulations to Dan McCaskill who had a very respectable fourthplace finish in the OVGA B Championships held at the Meadows Golf Club on July 13 and 14. Dan fired a first-round score of 80 and followed that up with a 78 to finish at 158, seven strokes behind the winner, Bill McGarvie from Greensmere. Kevin Ledgerwood shot a two-day total of 164 to finish in ninth position (third in his flight) for the two-day event. Ken Ledgerwood and Frank Pecora also competed and finished tied in 17th position. Good shooting guys. Kudos go out to Martyn Munro and his staff for the excellent course conditions so far this year. Martyn and the team have also embarked on a massive tree trimming program, which is really defining the golf course and allowing the golfers to get the ball back into play in the event of an errant shot. Did you know that the Madawaska driving range is offering 60+ balls in each bucket and is open every day of the week?

‘Learn to Run’ with the experts Karate students earn Yes, it is the dog days of summer, but it is not too early to think about dressing up like one of Santa’s helpers and running five kilometres in December. Or, if you are not really a cold weather person, maybe running 5-km in Arnprior’s Unity Run in October. What is that you said? You have never run five kilometres. You don’t know if you can do it? You don’t know where to start? Well, fear not, for your problems are solved, and all your questions will be answered. Come join the Prior Runners for their annual Learn to Run Clinic that starts out of the Nick Smith Centre on Tuesday, Aug. 11 at 6:30 p.m. The course will then run (literally) for successive Tuesdays until mid-October. This is a beginner’s runners course. Those participating should have the ability to do a brisk walk for a few kilometres and, of course, a medical approval. Under the leadership of Jane Dowd, an experienced local runner and the guidance of Dr Phil Knapp, a local chiropractor who is very knowledgeable in running exercises, technique and nutrition, participants will be taken from walking to being able to run a 5-km road race. Don’t know what shoes to wear? Don’t know what to eat? Don’t know what warm up and cool down to do? Don’t fret, as all we will be explained. And no matter what your pace, speed or rate of progress is, you will never run alone. At all times you will be have a running partner from the Prior Runners with you to ensure your safety and comfort. Every Prior Runner has started as a beginner and has empathy and will offer comfort for those starting out.

Five-year-old Jayla Beaudoin placed first in form and first in sparring. Green belt Alain Villeneuve competed in the advance belt division (green to black) and placed first in sparring, second in forms, and second in weapons.

Pan Am gold for Valley girl Melissa Bishop in the 800m final Scott Campbell
“Trust the process and know things will turn around.” Bishop, who has been called Canada’s golden girl this week, has endeared herself to her many Valley fans by coming home and sharing her experiences at local schools, encouraging students to be the best they can be. The University of Windsor graduate, the daughter of Doug and Alison Bishop of the Lake Dore area, began running at an early age in Eganville. She turns 27 Aug. 5.

tHis WeeK’s FeatURe R0013395059.0730
Eganville’s Melissa Bishop made the Valley proud as she raced her way to gold at the Pan Am Games last week. Bishop, the Opeongo High School graduate, reached the top of the podium at the Games in Toronto with arguably her best race ever on July 22. Up against a strong field, including favourite Alysia Montano of the U.S., Bishop ran a smart race and made a superb finishing kick to win the gold medal in the 800-metre final. Bishop is continuing to improve. She qualified for the London, England Olympics in 2012, when she finished 30th. In the 2014 Commonwealth Games her result was eighth. Bishop qualified for the Pan Am 800m final on July 21, clocking a creditable 2:04:51. Bishop has been said to be one of only four Canadian women to eclipse the two-minute barrier in her past 800-m races. With a medal on the line, she managed that again for her golden win, thrilling the large pro-Canadian crowd with a superlative 1:59:62, almost five seconds faster than her semi-final time. There wasn’t much space between gold and silver medal though. Montano’s time was 1:59.76, only 14-hundreds of a second

Fellow Canadian, Jessica Smith came in fifth place. Bishop took to social media to express her emotions following her win. “Standing on top of podium, with a gold
medal around my neck, singing Oh Canada, words can’t describe last night,” she said. “Back in May I would’ve looked at you with big eyes if you told me this was in my future. There’s no telling what hard-work, perseverance, and faith will get you. Things happen for a reason.

Top wake surfers to compete in Calabogie this weekend Staff
The Canadian Wake Surf Nationals returns to Calabogie this weekend. Touted as the premier wake surfing event in Canada, the competition will be held at the Calabogie Peaks beach July 31 to Aug. 2. The action is free to spectators. The event is in its third year and is expanding from it attracted about 1,000 fans to Calabogie in 2013. It has again been granted a spot on the World Series of Wake Surfing Tour so among the 75 or so competitors will be some of the world’s top wake surf professionals. Wake surfing is still a young, but rapidly growing sport. Associations and tournaments are growing rapidly as evidenced by last year’s World
Series line-up that includes events in Russia, Germany, Switzerland, Thailand, several U.S. stops, and the Canadian Wake Surf Nationals on Calabogie Lake. The World Series events are important qualifiers that culminate at the World Wake Surfing Championship in Las Vegas, Nevada, boasting a purse of $100,000 cash and prizes Wake surfing is a water sport in which a surfer trails behind a wake-

board boat, surfing the boat’s wake without being directly attached to the boat. The wake from the boat mimics the look and feel of an actual ocean wave. After getting up on the wave by use of a tow rope, wake surfers drop the rope and ride the steep face below the wave’s peak in a fashion reminiscent of ocean surfing. Wake surfers generally use special boards, usually five feet or shorter.

The Canadian Wake Surf Nationals is founded and directed by Steve Karam, an avid wake surfer and Partner at Systemscope. He calls the Calabogie site “breathtaking” and expects a large number of spectators who will provide a boost to the local economy. Spectators will have two vantage points to view the action and cheer on the competitors. Viewing areas, both direct and digital broadcast (to help
spectators get closer to the action) will be erected on the beach at Calabogie Peaks Resort. As well, spectators with boats will be able to view the event up close and personal from the comforts of their own boats. There will also likely be wake surf lessons available for those who want to try the sport As well, a number of complementary activities are planning highlighting the many attractions that Calabogie has to offer.
Financial difficulties and debt stress can affect people from all walks of life. At Doyle Salewski, our professional credit counsellors can help you put your finances in order and achieve a debt-free future – all while treating you with respect, dignity and compassion.
Debt
A bi-weekly guide on how to manage debt
At Doyle Salewski, we help people just like you every day.
Q: I saw and ad the other day for something called “credit counseling”. It caught my eye because I am carrying a lot of debt and don’t know where to turn.The company guaranteed they could negotiate a deal with my creditors and fix my credit score quickly. It almost sounds too good to be true.They provided a 1-800 number but no street address so I don’t know where they are located.What should I do? Canadians are carrying more debt than ever and are looking for answers. Many are in a desperate situation but continue to hope a solution will fall from the sky. Many have signed up for a debt management plan, have paid thousands of dollars in fees and are no further ahead. This vulnerable and fragile group needs to remove the rose colored glasses otherwise they will not see the train coming. Lurking around every corner are some credit counseling agencies looking to take advantage and make a quick buck. Credit counseling and debt management programs are largely unregulated and are not endorsed by the government. Although the government made some progress recently and put in place some new regulations limiting credit counseling fees and clarifying contract terms, by and large, credit counseling is still very much a “buyer beware” landscape. Credit counseling agencies cannot guarantee that your creditors will participate in the program nor can they stop collections or court claims. Any debt management program you sign up for will negatively affect your credit score. Licensed Trustees in Insolvency and Restructuring are government regulated, professionally trained and offer legislated programs that protect consumers with too much debt. We have the power and tools to immediately stop collections, court claims and bailiff notices/requests. We have the experience and training to provide
practical advice, useful counseling customized for each individual and structure affordable payment terms. Most individuals do not have to resort to bankruptcy if they contact us soon enough. Talking about your financial situation is not easy. We understand that. As soon as you call or meet with one of our Trustees and counselors, you will be treated with respect, courtesy and dignity. We have earned the trust of each and every client we have helped since 1996. Once you have an account with Doyle Salewski, every dollar you deposit will be accounted for and reported to you, your creditors and the government. We are accountable for the results. If you read an ad and it seems too good to be true, it is. That’s just good advice. Doyle Salewski has launched a series of short but very informative videos. The most recent release is entitled: “Know your debt options”. Please visit our web site to view them and let us know what you think. If you are burdened with debt stress, asking for sound advice is a sign of strength and the smart thing to do. Asking sooner rather than later is always better. Call Doyle Salewski today for your free, no obligation consultation. You’ll be glad you did.

There were ribs to suit almost every taste at Island View Suites on July 22. The second annual Ribfest, a fundraiser for Arnprior Regional Health’s Partners in Caring, was deemed a success, said Karen Colbert, who organized the event with Karen Graham and Karen Smith. The three judges - Joe Rick, Leah Levesque and Tom Peckett - ranked the ribs based on taste and texture. Top left, members of the three teams that took part. Joe Brennan, left, of Smoking Joe BBQ Ribs was chosen the winner. The runner-ups were George Rioux and Tim Bedow of Texas Eggfest and Bob Graham and Doug Hoy of Old Orchard Spare Ribs were third.

Pakenham General Store invites public to 175th birthday party Saturday kkent@metroland.com
said the store actively used the old rail line to ship product to and from larger cities like Montreal. “You could even get suits and coats made here,” Lamb said. Over the years, as the store changed owners, merchandise was updated to suit the times. According to Lamb, whose brother, Rodney Bell, has owned the store since 2002, the store has had several owners in the last 175 years. After McArthur and Brown opened it in 1840, the pair operated the business until 1859, when Brown bought McArthur’s share. Brown then took over as the sole owner until 1876, when David Scott joined him as a business partner. From there, six generations of Scotts operated the shop, until 1981 when it was bought by John and Yvonne Hayes. Then, in 1987, Brian and Carol Bean took over, before finally selling to Bell in 2002. Bell is still operating the store

13 years later. Now, the store is known mainly for its giftware and, of course, for its bakery. Today’s Pakenham General Store offers a variety of general gift items, such as jewelry, antiques and glassware. The building’s second floor now houses a small gallery, where local artwork is displayed. BAKING SPECIALTIES
The bakery has really gained steam since Bell took over as owner. The kitchen, which is not original to the building, pumps out dozens of housemade goodies every day, as well as fresh breads and cookies. The store hasn’t forgotten its roots though, Lamb said. The store still uses an International Business Machines (IBM) meat slicer from 1901 for its fresh sandwiches. “It’s 114-years-old, it’s fire engine red and it’s certainly a sight to see,” Lamb said.
She said everyone is invited to visit the store to celebrate 175 years of business. “We’re asking people just to come and enjoy the party,” she said. For more information,

A lot has changed since 1840. This Saturday, Aug. 1, the Pakenham General Store is inviting locals to see just how much times have changed since then as they celebrate their 175th anniversary. The store first opened in 1840, making it the longest running general store to remain in the same location in all of Canada. “It’s quite an accomplishment, I would say,” said Sheila Lamb, the store’s general manager. “We’ve been serving the community for a long, long time.” To mark its 175th birthday, the Pakenham General Store is hosting a celebration from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, complete with a barbecue and birthday cake baked in-house. “Everyone is invited to have some barbecue, some cake and
look around the store,” Lamb said, adding that its famous sticky buns will also be available for purchase. Lamb said that it’s interesting to think about how much the store has transitioned in the last 175 years, as it’s been updated to serve the current needs of the village’s residents. The Pakenham General Store was first opened by Archibald McArthur and Robert Brown in 1840. It has always been housed in the same three-storey stone building, but its merchandise has changed greatly. Back then, the store was only of the only merchants in the village and offered everything and anything locals might need. “We were responsible for providing goods to the locals,” Lamb said, “and we sold literally everything you could need.” From textiles and local produce bartered from area farmers, to soap and feed for cows, the Pakenham General Store had most necessities in stock.

Audrey had specific ritual for special prayers Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
I thought that last prayer was pushing her luck, since we were Lutherans, but there we were one night, both on our knees by the bed, and Audrey in barely a whisper, asking God to find someone to ask her to the strawberry social at the United Church. Well, any doubts I may have been harbouring were soon cast aside when a young man from the Barr Side Road asked her to the social. I couldn’t believe it! And Audrey leaned over to me after hanging up the phone and said, “See ... safety in numbers.” Long before Audrey got out of public school, we prayed that when the time came, she would graduate from the Entrance Class. Well, I thought that was a needless prayer, since she was just about the smartest one at the Northcote School. But she wanted to be sure, as those farm girls who didn’t make it out of the Entrance Class, ended up doing housework for the rich
people in Renfrew. Audrey couldn’t think of a worse fate! More than once I was caught with my mind somewhere else too. Audrey had always instructed me to keep close attention to what she was saying, and I was to repeat the prayer silently to myself. I can no longer remember what the prayer was about, but my mind certainly was not on what Audrey was praying for that night. My sister poked me in the ribs, which was my cue to say, ‘please God, hear our prayer.’ As soon as Audrey’s elbow connected with me, I tried in vain to remember what we had been praying for, and for the life of me, couldn’t bring up one word Audrey had said. She had to repeat the prayer, which didn’t please her one bit. Audrey’s prayers could be long, depending on what she had on her ‘want list.’ That’s when I lost track of what she was praying for. I could see no reason why she had to go into such detail with her prayers, convinced as I was that, as long as you let God know it was you, He would take care of the rest ... all you had to do, I thought then, was to think of the prayer and that was as good as saying it. However, I was never able to get Audrey into that way of thinking about prayer. She said too, it would be much better, if after the prayers were over, we both said “Amen” at the exact same time. I thought this
R0013396850.0730
For reasons unknown to me at the time, my older sister Audrey, when she had special prayers she felt needed to be sent to God, insisted I kneel with her on the braided rug beside our bed. These were prayers over and above those we had already said at our Mother’s knee at bedtime. I dared to ask Audrey one time why her special prayers couldn’t be included then, and her short retort made it perfectly clear why. “Certainly not. That’s all I need is for Emerson to hear what my special prayers were and all of Renfrew County would know about them before the sun set the next day.” And so, when the need arose, I was asked to join Audrey on the braided rug, and when I asked her why she couldn’t pray on her own, she said she learned at Sunday School that there was ‘safety in numbers.’ I had no idea what she meant. But Audrey, who did many special favours for me, had a willing partner on the braided rug when she needed it. Questioning the whys and the wherefores was not to concern me. And so, I found myself praying with Audrey for things that had nothing to do with me whatsoever. This could be anything from being allowed to wear high heels, to finding money for a store-bought bra, to being asked to go to the strawberry social at the United Church.
was just another way of my sister making sure I was paying attention to what she was praying for. And then one night, the end of our praying together just about came to an end. That was the night Audrey was praying at great length, about what, I no longer remember. She had come to a pause, and it was long enough for me to think we were all finished, and so I let out a loud “Amen.” Well, did that open a can of worms. Audrey said she was just pausing, she wasn’t finished, and I had jumped the gun with the Amen, and so we had to say the prayer all over again. My sister eventually came to the conclusion that unless I was listening, paying attention, repeating the prayers where necessary, she was better off if she prayed alone. That was a good decision, I thought. It didn’t stop Audrey from getting down on the rug in front of our bed when the need arose. It just meant that what she was saying and thinking was between her and God, and she didn’t need a fidgeting six-year-old sister to interfere. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Eight life-saving tips for pet safety in the summer Tip #1- Protection from heat in cars: Please use common sense and take your pets with you, or make sure that adequate ventilation exists when and where appropriate. Bear in mind that cars can heat up quickly, even with the windows partially open. Tip #2 - Proper outdoor housing and water: If dogs or cats are kept outdoors, please keep them in a shaded area with adequate water. Make certain pets can’t get
tangled up with chains that might endanger them or restrict their movement. Heat strokes and other tragic results can be prevented by awareness. Tip #3 - Protection from over-exertion: Over-exertion resulting in problems could occur when jogging or engaging in other activities. On hotter days, monitor your pet’s activity and be careful to not over-exert them. Watch for signs of heat
stress, excessive panting, disorientation, staring or anxious expression and weakness. Bring your pet to a cool area, gradually lower your pets temperature by immersing his/her paws in cold water or hosing him/her down and call your veterinarian immediately. Tip #4 - Hot asphalt and feet protection: In summer, asphalt can burn your pet’s paws; keep to the sidewalk or grass.
We’regivingawayupto
foryourtwocents.
Tip #5- Most dogs enjoy swimming, but some cannot swim, and others may hate the water. Be conscious of your dog’s preferences and skills before trying to make him swim. If you’re swimming for the first time with your dog, start in shallow water and coax him in by calling his name. Encourage him with toys or treats. Or, let him follow another experienced dog he is friendly with. Never throw your dog into the water. If your dog begins to paddle with his front legs, lift his hind legs and help him float. He should quickly catch on and keep his back end up. Don’t let your dog overdo it; swimming is very hard work and he may tire quickly. If you have your own pool, make sure your dog knows where the stairs or ladder are located. Be sure that pool covers are firmly in place; dogs have been known to slip in under openings in the covers and drown. Never leave your dog unattended in water. Tip #6 - Safety in travel:
Pet Talk
IAN STUPP
Traveling by car, keep your dog cool in the car by putting icepacks in his crate. Make sure the crate is well ventilated. Put a sunshade on your car windows. Bring along fresh water and a bowl, and a tarp or tent so you can set up a shady spot when you stop. Keep a spray bottle filled with water to spritz on your dog to cool him down. Traveling by RV, a dog’s safety should not depend on the air conditioning and generator systems in an RV or motor home. These devices can malfunction, with tragic results. Tip #7 - Parasite preven-
tion: Check with your vet to see if your pets should be taking heartworm prevention medication. Heartworm disease, which is transmitted by a bite from an infected mosquito, can be fatal if not treated. Both dogs and cats are at increased risk of contracting heartworm during the summer. It would also be prudent to protect your pet from ticks. Tip #8 - Plan ahead for summer vacations: If you’re not taking your dog or cat with you, arrange for the proper care with people you know and trust or with a facility that is reputable. This will protect your pet from careless or irresponsible people and bring about much peace of mind.

No ‘Hot Pets’ this summer
Those who pledge will receive a free No Hot Pets window decal for their vehicles (while supplies last). “Leaving your pet unattended in a vehicle is one of the most irresponsible things an owner can do. Leave your pet at home and if you must take your pet make sure that someone is with it at all times,” says Tracy McElman, SPCA Eastern District manager. “During the hot summer months, let’s keep everyone safe and cool.” Dogs have a limited ability to sweat; even a short time in a hot environment can be lifethreatening. A dog’s normal body temperature is about 39°C and a temperature of 41°C can be withstood only for a very short time before irreparable brain damage or even death can occur. If heat stroke is suspected (excessive panting and drooling, listlessness or unconsciousness), prompt veterinary medical attention is vital. In the meantime, wet the fur immediately with lukewarm to cool water, not cold water. Bring the pet into the shade and offer drinking water. If you observe an animal suffering in the heat, call the 24/7 hotline, 310-SPCA (7722).

Local SPCA branches have issued a reminder to pet owners of the dangers of leaving pets unattended in a vehicle. The Ontario SPCA is currently running the award-winning ‘No Hot Pets’ (www.nohotpets. ca) campaign, a component of the Operation VALUE (Vulnerable Animals Left Unattended Everyday) program. In an effort to remind pet owners of the dangers of leaving pets unattended in a vehicle during the hot summer months, the campaign saw great success in 2014 with public engagement at an all-time high. The Ontario SPCA is seeking the public’s assistance in continuing to share this message. The Ontario SPCA receives hundreds of reports of pets being left in cars every year. Parked cars can quickly reach deadly temperatures, even on relatively mild days with the car parked in the shade and the windows slightly open. Citizens are asked to share the message about the dangers of leaving pets in vehicles, online using #nohotpets. In addition, pet owners are asked to visit www.nohotpets.ca and pledge to not leave their pets in their vehicles.
