Mother Nature inflicted some damage in Renfrew Sunday evening, creating five and a half hours of work for local hydro crews. “We had a major wind storm just before 7 o’clock that caused considerable damage Sunday night,” Renfrew Hydro manager Tom Freemark noted. He said damage to the Lochiel Street feeder caused power outages in the Lochiel, Bonnechere and Patrick street areas which took crews two hours to repair. There were also a couple of large trees blown over in the area of McLean and Allan streets, one of which landed on a transformer pole that also cause a power outage. Power was restored at 11 p.m. The storm also wreaked havoc elsewhere, including Storyland, which was closed all day Monday as maintenance staff evaluated the damage. Because of the lack of power and intermittent phone service, the Storyland administration office was also closed for the day. Updates are posted at www.storyland.ca. The severe thunderstorms caused power outages to more than 35,000 Hydro One customers in central and eastern Ontario. At the peak of the storm, 60,000 Hydro One customers were without power. Hydro One customers affected included 11,000 people from the Cobden-Whitewater region. Arnprior was also struck by a power outage as 5,900 customers faded to black. “We have deployed all available crews to focus on the restoration effort,” said Myles D’Arcey, Hydro One senior vice president of customer operations Sunday.

Hydro One restores power Continued from front While D’Arcey said power would be restored to the majority of customers Monday, repairing all of the damage and restoring power to all customers could take several days. Between 20 and 50 customers in the Haley Station area were still without power Tuesday night. Crews were out dealing with a fallen tree on a secondary line. Forty-three customers on Highway 511 between Calabogie and Lanark were also without power heading into the late hours of Tuesday evening. Other spots including the Douglas area, Whitewater Re-

gion and parts of Greater Madawaska were affected by the loss of power both on Sunday and Monday nights. By Wednesday morning, only a small area of homes outside of Pembroke near Laurentian Valley were still without power, as well as some customers east of Arnprior. Hydro One warns people to take extra precaution near fallen power lines at any time. Even if a fallen wire seems dead, it can be dangerous. People are urged to report to Hydro One the location of the fallen wires as soon as possible. Touching a vehicle that is in contact with a power line can be fatal.

Lockwoods mark 75 years in business It’s been threequarters of a century since Fred Lockwood and Charles Roberts bought the Renfrew Manufacturing Business on Bridge Street in 1936. Shortly thereafter, they renamed the sash and door factory Wood Works of Renfrew. In those early days, work done at the plant consisted of dressing and planing lumber, mouldings, interior trim, coves, quarter round and casing base. The company gradually entered the retail business and now carries a complete line of building supplies and much more. The tradition continues today – 75 years later – at Lockwood RONA Building Centre on Gillan Road. Lockwood’s three sons – Bill, Jack and Fred – carried the business on over the years, and now it is well into its third generation. “Fred Lockwood Sr. died in ’49, at which time Bill Lockwood took over managing the company until the 1960s when Jack Lockwood took over,” Jack’s son and Lockwood RONA owner

Lockwood’s has been a RONA member since 2004. The move from Bridge Street to Gillan provided muchneed space for the business and its customers. “We had outgrown the old premises,” Lockwood said.

New park benches for Renfrew’s O’Brien Park DAVE LEMKAY Renfrew Industrial Commission

The Renfrew & Area Tourism Committee ordered five new benches in the spring to fit into its plan to schedule miniconcerts through the summer in O’Brien Park to coincide with special open house events at McDougall Mill Museum. The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. seven days a week until Labour Day Weekend.

The new steel benches were purchased in Simcoe, Ont. and as luck would have it, the Renfrew Industrial Commission was involved in transporting the historical Alligator Steam Tug boat, also from Simcoe, to the County’s Expo 150 in June. Shipping cost for the benches was avoided, as they were stowed in the old steam boat for the trip up to the Valley. Working with Ed Coulas of the town’s works department placement of the benches was determined, holes were

drilled by Marshall’s Construction and the assembled benches were anchored with concrete by Phil Malette and Peter Garskey just before a drenching cloudburst of rain. There is no particular pattern, but generally three benches offer both a view of the bandshell and the river while two are located in the shade of the trees up by the museum entrance. The tourism committee was pleased with the good attendance at the first mini-

concert featuring the Renfrew Highland Pipes & Drums July 10. Sunday afternoon entertainment in following weeks include The Helferty Family from Douglas July 24; Simon Clark, British Invasion era music Aug. 7; Willie & Jim ventriloquist act Aug. 21 and for this year’s Rural Ramble on Sept. 24-25, the museum will be open and livened up with Dr. Bill Burwell’s steam engine that will be used to cook Steam Engine Corn on the Cob.

Handicap parking spot to be added at Renfrew Collegiate

PETER CLARK

peter.clark@metroland.com

Renfrew council has approved an additional handicap parking space on Bonnechere Street in front of Renfrew Collegiate Institute. The request was made by a parent and

supported by principal Alanna Emon. There is presently one designated handicap parking space on Bonnechere Street in front of RCI, near the north end of the building, council noted. This is the entrance for Renfrew Collegiate Intermediate School for Grade 7 and 8 students, and is not to be used by

the high school students. The designated handicap space at the back of the building off Queen Street is difficult to access during bus loading and unloading times. Also, that entrance is not used during weekend function, so no wheelchair accessibility is available. It was pointed out by the finance com-

mittee that the cost to establish a new handicap parking spot is minimal (signage and road markings) and can be accommodated in the 2011 budget. The additional handicap parking space will be located at the south entrance on Bonnechere Street, near the Grant Gymnasium.

Splash! is the theme of the 2011 summer reading program at the AdmastonBromley Public Library, which wraps up tomorrow morning at the Douglas facility. From 9 a.m. to noon July 18 to 22, children ages four to 10 were invited to enjoy a week of games, water-themed crafts, movies and reading stories. There were also prizes, with children ‘fishing’ for their prizes in a prize pool. “Dive in and discover the treasures that await you inside the library,” a program poster read. During the week the children were shown National Film Board awardwinning short films for children, then invited to write their own movie reviews. On Tuesday morning close to 30 children enjoyed a visit by local author Michael Bradley who read his children’s book Magpie’s Missing Spoon. On Wednesday, the children decorated un-iced cupcakes.

Chris Hinsperger leads the fossil walk through Eganville.

Fossils fascinate LUCY HASS

lucy.hass@metroland.com

Chris Hinsperger loves fossils. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t draw that from the enthusiastic tours he runs regularly from the Bonnechere Museum in Eganville, just read his tee shirt. He wears his passion, quite literally, on his sleeve, with â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Love Fossilsâ&#x20AC;? scripted on his shirt. During his opening address on fossils in general, he tells the tale of one precious find given to him by a friend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When my friend pulled down the tailgate of his truck, this is what he had,â&#x20AC;? he says, pulling the cloth back from an item on the ground nearby. There is silence, then a quiet â&#x20AC;&#x153;oooooâ&#x20AC;? as the group peers at the ancient treasure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those of you that are big fans of fossils would recognize that this is a pretty big straight-shelled cephalopod,â&#x20AC;? Hinsperger notes.

Using a rustic chalk-tipped pointer, Hinsperger draws in the missing eyes, several feet of tentacles and the back end to reveal the outline of one of the largest creatures in the local waters during the Ordovician age. He then told of how his friend â&#x20AC;&#x201C; two weeks later â&#x20AC;&#x201C; returned to the spot where he made the first fossil find, and returned with a second piece, then a third. Those sections lay nearby on the museum parking lot ground, beside the larger section. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you do the geometry and draw some lines here,â&#x20AC;? Hinsperger said, sketching lines in chalk, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I figure it would have been maybe eight to 10 feet in length with another several feet of tentacles sticking out of the large end.â&#x20AC;? The bearded Ordovician dynamo then wields his chalk-tipped staff, leading young and old on a tour of just a snippet of the massive land mass covered by a tropical sea some 400 to 500 million years ago.

EDITORIAL

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Electricity is vital

Who are we? To the editor: Scientists discovered that macaque monkeys have a society in which they spend all their time and brainpower playing complicated status games because the high-status monkeys get to live in the inner circle furthest from the predators and nearest the food. They also get to boss around the other monkeys and generally have the best of everything without earning anything. The majority of the macaques just accept this situation and try their best to improve their status while lording it over anyone below them in the pecking order. The scientists immediately called this proof that macaques are intelligent because they behave much like humans. To my mind, it is proof that most humans are monkey-brained morons who waste their time and effort trying to feel that they are better than someone else, and who behave like apes instead of like the “paragon of animals” that they claim to be. There are some in this valley and elsewhere who would have us believe that all this is “genetic,” by which they mean natural and normal, for human beings. If they are correct, then we all deserve our inevitable extinction, like the dying macaques we mimic. Michel J. Gregoire Renfrew

t took a powerful summertime storm whose aftermath left many without hydro to once again demonstrate that electricity is a vital, necessary component of modern-day society and as such should not be subject to the GST or HST or whatever you want to call that consumption tax that is omnipresent in today’s society. Many in our readership area found themselves without hydro as a result of the severe wind storm which passed through the Ottawa area last Sunday, July 17 about 7 p.m. Indeed, as we know, this storm caused destruction far and wide. Without hydro, you soon come to the realization that modern life as we know it virtually grinds to a halt. If this is not the definition of necessity, we don’t know what is. There is no GST or HST on food because it is regarded as a necessity. The same should apply to our electricity. Just why we put up with having this consumption tax applied to what is so very obviously a necessity in today’s modern life is beyond us. Surely the Ice Storm of 1998, more than a decade ago, showed us all that electricity is a paramount requirement for today’s lifestyle. Without it, life as we know it comes to a screeching halt. This is even more the case for those in rural areas. When hydro goes, so does the well water pump. No water. So hydro is doubly important in a rural setting. And yet our governments continue to impose a tax on this all important, we would claim, necessity in today’s world. This is not right and should be changed. There is a provincial election coming up. The provincial government can correct this injustice. Make sure that when a candidate, from whatever party, approaches you, point out that hydro is a necessity in today’s world. We cannot live, as our blackout periods after storms show, without it. If this is not the definition of necessity, we do not know what is. And if something is necessary, it should not be the subject of a consumption tax. It’s that simple. And our politicians should take action to remove it from our hydro bills.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Golfers help hospice To the editor: On Friday, July 8 two young men got up in the dark, headed to the Dragonfly Golf Course and started to play golf at the crack of dawn. When they finished it was once again dark, and they had played 315 holes of golf and raised over $4,000 for Hospice Renfrew. I would like to sincerely thank Cooper Brown and Gary Graveline for taking the time and effort to organize this fundraising event. At a time when it is so easy to criticize our youth, we should instead encourage and celebrate generosity and community spirit as demonstrated by this pair. Thanks Cooper and Gary! Connie Legg Hospice Renfrew

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Paper eggs make camp reality To the editor; I write this letter to you with much enthusiasm and appreciation of support for an incredible cause. On March 28, tb!s the bargain shop launched their fifth annual Paper Egg Campaign with Easter Seals Canada. This campaign has always meant so much across our organization as the proceeds raised are dedicated to improving the quality of life for kids with disabilities and their families across Canada. Nationally, in this year’s campaign we raised $152,805, and in total over the last five years we have donated $810,804 to support crucial programs such as summer camp and the equipment necessary to create independent living opportunities for youth. We would like to especially extend our heartfelt gratitude to all of our store customers at tb!s the bargain shop in all the communities in which we serve, who, for

the 5th year in a row, participated and gave so generously, creating so many opportunities for Easter Seals kids that wouldn’t otherwise exist. As a result of all our collective efforts, we will be sending more kids to camp this year to enjoy personal growth and challenges, make new friends and partake in the fun and laughter that this experience has offered thousands of kids over the years. Marianna Figueiredo, the 12year-old 2011 Provincial Ambassador for Easter Seals Ontario, sums it up best when she asks us all to “See beyond the disability. Show the world we can do anything”. It is a privilege to take part in such a rewarding campaign with such visible results. We look forward to another successful and ground breaking campaign in 2012! Best regards, Leslee Gervais Renfrew Store Manager

Thank you for their efforts. Also, the staff of Horton Township did a wonderful job. Thank you to Norman Vaile for the earth around the new fence.

Really Cool Initiatives asks: do you believe in magic?

Do you believe in magic? The cast and crew of Really Cool Initiatives Theatre Group do. They have been preparing since early in the year to bring the magic of music and storytelling to the stage this August. Do You Believe in Magic is a tribute to Broadway, the Big Screen and Beyond. The live musical will feature some of your favourite Broadway numbers, but will also include selections from the Big Screen and will also feature a tribute to some of the greatest stories ever told through song.

The show will take the stage at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School opening with a 2 p.m. matinee followed by an evening performance at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 21. There will also be 7 p.m. performances on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Aug. 22 to 24. Continuing the tradition of the five previous Really Cool Initiatives productions, the proceeds of the show will be directed to health care for Renfrew and area, specifically the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Mammography Unit for the purchase of state of the art digital mammography equipment.

As usual, this production will showcase some of the finest performers and musicians from around the Ottawa Valley, will feature an original script as well as original songs. With tickets priced at only $10 each, this promises to be a show that will appeal to all age groups. Tickets will be on sale Monday, July 18 and will be available at Aikenhead’s PharmaChoice, Barry Breen Insurance and Scott and Sons Hardware.

County of Renfrew Chief of Paramedic Services, Michael Nolan, presented Laiba with the first ever County of Renfrew 9-1-1 Superhero award at a recognition ceremony June 20.

Only a few short weeks after the County of Renfrew’s 9-1-1 Superhero program spoke to Queen Elizabeth Public School students on how to prevent, recognize and act in an emergency, a six-year-old girl was put to the test. Laiba Choudhry, a grade one student at the Renfrew school, was confronted with a medical emergency in her home. One of her parents became suddenly incapacitated by a medical emergency and Laiba immediately recognized that she needed to get Paramedics to help. Acting on the training received by Paramedics, Laiba called for help activating the Paramedic Services and contributing to a positive outcome for her parent.

County of Renfrew Chief of Paramedic Services, Michael Nolan, presented Laiba with the first ever County of Renfrew 9-1-1 Superhero award at a recognition ceremony held in the school’s gymnasium on June 20 in front of her peers, teachers and family. As part of a county-wide initiative the County of Renfrew 9-1-1 Superhero program was developed by the Paramedic Service in order to teach school-aged children, kindergarten to grade three, about emergency prevention, recognition and response. The program was launched countywide in January 2011. To date, Paramedic’s have educated over 2,000 students county-wide.

SUMMER BEAUTY, FROM SUNRISE TO SUNSET

Everything’s waiting for you In 1965, British singer Petula Clark won a Grammy Award for best rock’n’roll recording for the classic Downtown. The song was a call-out to a generation, inviting people to find comfort in the heart of any community – the downtown core. Forty-six years later, Renfrew is calling everyone downtown once again, for a Rock’n’Roll Festival, melding rhythm with retail from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. The town’s historic downtown core will be alive with activity during this event, hosted by the local BIA. Local non-profit organizations and service clubs will also be participating. For example, Cougars Conquering Cancer will be running the dunk tank with all proceeds going to the Cougars for the fight against cancer. Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) Chick Paige Dillabough will be face painting and hosting a bake table, with all proceeds going to CHEO. Other participants will be the Renfrew Rotary Club, Renfrew Lions Club and Ray Beimers representing the local Cancer Society. Refreshment will also have a charitable flair with the Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support selling lemonade and the

LUCY HASS MISCELLANY Renfrew Victoria Hospital Auxiliary selling root beer floats and tickets on the doll house, with all proceeds going to the hospital’s CT scan program. There will also be bands, children’s activities, buskers, artisans, a petting zoo, horse-and-buggy rides, sidewalk sales, cotton candy and more. In a world of detachment, where email, Tweets and Twitters try to pass themselves off as human interaction, most rural folk know better. They know the value of a hug or handshake or simple ‘how ya doin’?’ One of the true blessings of summer in Renfrew County is the way festivals and fairs bring us together, to celebrate community. So take the messages of the sixties to heart. Heed the call. As Petula assured, “Things’ll be great when you’re downtown.” Check it out.

SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Downtown Forester’s Falls was bustling with activity Saturday, much like it was back in the days of the logging boom in the Ottawa Valley. Early afternoon attendance at the second annual July 16 Shanty Days, presented by the Whitewater Historical Society, was not as high as hoped, but for those who braved the heat, there was a walk back in time awaiting at the Ross Museum, along the street and in adjacent buildings. Society president Beth Wilson said that while she’d been hoping to see a few more visitors for the afternoon Shanty Days events, the second annual community festival was a big success. “It’s great to listen to some music, enjoy some homemade food, and look back at a slower-paced life,” said Wilson. Forester’s Falls resident Brian Jack enjoyed the chance to reminisce. Brian’s father Lester was the village barber for many years, working almost

right up until his death at the age of 90 in 1995. “I can still remember when Saturday night was the big night at his barber shop,” said Brian. “Contrary to popular belief, men do gossip. But dad kept all that stuff to himself. He took it to his grave.” Volunteer Derek Bennett was on hand to explain how he worked to rig up a pump built in the 1800s to provide water for use at the museum. “We had an old one sitting idle in the museum and I looked at it and rebuilt it and set it up here,” said Bennett, pointing out the pump behind the museum. His parents, Keith and Ruby Bennett, provided horse-drawn wagon rides for the event. Capped off with a pig roast and homemade fixings, the Ross Museum Shanty Days included children’s activities, heritage demonstrations and displays and live entertainment. The Ross Museum is open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday to Sunday.

At 1:30, was I only one watching? Have you ever sat in front of the TV late at night, and wondered, “Am I the only one watching this show right now?” That’s the feeling I got Sunday night/Monday morning around 1:30 when, for some inexplicable reason, I was still up, watching the 15th inning of a scoreless Major League Baseball game between the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays, on the French channel no less. Boston finally connected in the 16th inning – five hours and 44 minutes after it began – to win 1-0. I’m sure no one else in this time zone outside of Boston was still watching. For some reason, the game reminded me of a 22-inning marathon the Montreal Expos got locked into with the Los Angeles Dodgers. A check of the Internet tells me it was in August 1989. I watched the first 21 innings elsewhere, and then, while driving across town on my way home, I missed the game’s only run. When I turned the TV on, it was 1-0 Los Angeles. Dodger catcher Rick Dempsey homered in the top of the 22nd

PETER CLARK PETER’S PUTTERINGS inning. I was home in time to see the bottom of the 22nd, but the Expos could not answer. Twenty-one and a half innings I saw that night, and missed the game’s only run. Irish on a roll: Northern Ireland has suddenly become the golf capital of the world. On Sunday, Darren Clarke became the third golfer from Northern Ireland to win in the last six majors, following U.S. Open champions Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell. And to his credit, after 20 attempts to win a British Open, Clarke certainly went out and enjoyed it. He was still celebrating at the time of an interview the next day. Almost sounds like a good old Valley boy. * * * Of the 28 players to reach the

3,000-hit barrier in the major leagues, only Stan Musial collected the milestone as a pinch hitter. St. Louis was in Chicago for the final game of a road trip against the Cubs. The Cardinals gave Musial the day off at 2,999 so he could get the next hit at home, but trailing by a couple of runs late in the game, Musial was sent up to pitch hit and delivered a double. And for this week: Roberto Alomar will be enshrined into the Baseball Hall-of-Fame in Cooperstown this Sunday. The slick second baseman helped the Toronto Blue Jays win consecutive World Series titles in 1992 and 1993. In 1992, Alomar clubbed a game-tying two-run homer in the top of the ninth inning in game four of the American League Championship Series at Oakland. The Jays went on to win 7-6 in 11 innings and took a 3-1 games lead in the series. What pitcher served up Alomar’s dramatic two-run shot?

Clinics are scheduled to be held July 23, Aug. 20 and Sept. 17 at the Scheel Drive show ring in McNab-Braeside. All three days are Saturdays. Julie Skarica explained that torrential downpours just before the June 25 horse show clinic caused her to postpone the event. Not getting any breaks from Mother

Nature, the May clinic was also washed out, Skarica noted. All show clinics start at 8:30 a.m. with a warm-up for both the beginner and novice division opening at 7:30 a.m. All other warm-ups are held throughout the day as supervised exercises. The judges will be Karl Dronshek on July 23, and Kitty Bowland for Aug. 20 and Sept. 17. For more information see the website www.JCSstables.com.

MCNAB-BRAESIDE MINOR BALL McNab-Braeside Minor Fastball wrapped up the 2011 junior division on a very hot July 16 at McNab Centre Park with many, many spectators. Allan Cole led a parade of 45 t-ball players to kick off the day of games. The 5P/Mites then followed with their championship games, which were close and very exciting. Executives, parents and spectators were pleased to see the development of these players over the course of the 12 week program. The coaches did a great job, say league organizers. Stoneworks (League and A Champs), Four Seasons Carwash (A Finalists), Magnetsigns (B Champs), Canadian Tire (B Finalists) and McAllister Ford made up the division of 60 players. Brian Armsden received the Coach of the Year award, presented by Jeff Clattenburg (Mites Convenor). Dan Norton was awarded the Most Improved Umpire, presented by Adam Rueckwald. The Peewee Girls arrived at high noon, but the heat didn’t seem to bother them as they played a hard solid game of softball. Sandy’s Beauty Salon had won the league with OPG winning the playoffs while M&M finished third place. The Peewee Boys followed the girls with a very exciting game. The two teams had tied in the league. The result was a one-run difference with GP Service Station taking the trophy over RONA. Greater Madawaska finished third in the division. The 2011 season started off slow as we had to adjust to the low and late registrations and also the fluctuating weather, but overall it was a success. The association would like to thank all their coaches, parents and sponsors who continually make each year exciting. The season is 12 weeks, starting in early May with some teams playing as many as 21 games during the time frame. Registration for 2012 will be open between March 1 and April 15. Coach of the year for the 2011 season is Brian Armsden, left.

The Riverkeeper is coming. A group led by Ottawa Riverkeeper Meredith Brown began an ambitious and interactive journey of discovery July 4. The team, which is expected to reach the McNab-Braeside-Arnprior stretch of the river about mid-August, is documenting the state of the Ottawa River.

The goal of the Great River Project is to share the ecology and rich cultural heritage of the Kichi sipi (Great River) with a wide audience. Brown is being accompanied by an expert team of photographers, naturalists, historians, scientists and a motivated group of students. Along the way they will monitor water quality, and meet with a diverse group of people and

Journey of discovery began July 4 in Mattawa. leaders who depend on the Ottawa River for different reasons. They will interview scientists, dam operators, First Nation

chiefs, river guides, fishermen, farmers and river enthusiasts to find out why the river is worth knowing and protecting. “Experiencing the river through stories, photographs, videos and interviews will help thousands of people, including decision-makers, become more knowledgeable about the state of the Ottawa River and the importance it plays in our everyday lives, our culture, our heritage,

our health and our economy,” says Brown. Those interested can follow the adventures of the team on the expedition blog on the website http://grp.ottawariverkeeper.ca/. The adventure includes an opportunity for youth in the watershed to participate in a free trip down the river when the tour hits Renfrew County. More information is available on the website.

The Renfrew Mercury - July 21, 2011

NFU pleased with provincial compensation program Dave Mackay, president of the Renfrew County National Farmers Union, reports that Renfrew County farmers should be pleased with the recent compensation package announced by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAFRA) for damages caused by predatory wildlife to livestock, poultry and bees. Through this new Wildlife Damage Compensation Program, livestock producers will receive improved compensation when their livestock or poultry are injured or killed by predatory wildlife or when bee colonies, beehives or beehive equipment are damaged by wildlife. In addition, the new program expands the current list of wildlife species and variety of livestock that farmers can be compensated for and increases the maximum compensation rates for farmers to include additional compensation for registered livestock. Mackay adds that last fall the NFU presented comments and suggestions to the discussion paper Managing Agriculture Wildlife Conflict and submitted a request for 100 per cent compensation for losses caused by predatory wildlife and that consideration be given to future or potential value when a young animal (calf) is killed by a predator. “We are pleased that the program provides 100 per cent of the value of the loss, up to a prescribed maximum compensation value such as $2,500 for a non-registered cow, $300 per non-registered sheep, $30 per chicken kept for egg production,” the NFU news release explained. “Newborn calves and calves up to one month of age are to be compensated at 70 per cent of weaning value. “This clause in the new program is a big plus for beef farmers. We are happy with it,” concludes Mackay. Locally, Renfrew County NFU also compliments the Renfrew County’s development and property committee for its very positive input into the discussion paper, Managing Agriculture Wildlife Conflicts put out last fall by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA).

An old-time Ottawa Valley French Canadian house party featuring stars of the Quebec traditional music scene is coming to Eganville. On Thursday, July 28 at 7:30 p.m., Stone Fence Theatre presents In a Little Shack Up the Pontiac, a concert that brings together some of top traditional and dance performers for an evening of great music, dance and fun. It isn’t at all necessary to understand French to enjoy this concert. The fiddling and dancing speak for themselves, and host/singer Debbie Bechamp of Orillia, originally from Chapeau, Que. will help explain the fine points. Putting on a show like this has long been a dream for producer Ish Theilheimer and Carol Kennedy, who has been involved with many Stone Fence Theatre productions over the years. The two of them brought together stepdancer Barry Gilchrist, accordionist Gaston Nolet, fiddler Francois Dumond, dancer/ percussionist Serge Martin, singer Marie Claude Breault and pianist/fiddler Germain Leduc for the occasion. “Carol and I are huge fans of this music, and we want to introduce our Stone Fence Theatre audience to it,” says Theilheimer. “We hope they’ll love it too for the fun, the beautiful tunes and the irresistible rhythms. This concert introduces you the joy and

excitement of an old-time French Canadian house party from the other side of the river. You don’t have to speak French to love the button accordion, fiddling, step dancing, chant-et-reponse singing and the sheer joie de vivre of the evening. Debbie, from Chapeau, and Carol, from Pembroke, will introduce you to the joys of the music and those who play it.” Each of the performers is outstanding in his or her own right. Barry Gilchrist is the son of the legendary Donny Gilchrist, from Gatineau, and an accomplished dancer himself, a total perfectionist in his approach. Gaston Nolet, from Trois Rivieres, demonstrates his accordion virtuosity at major festivals along with fiddler Francois Dumond. Also from Trois Rivieres, Serge Martin and Marie Claude Breault are two of Quebec’s top traditional music advocates. Serge is president of a provincial society for the preservation of traditional music, and together, the two have entertained at festivals and concerts throughout Quebec and abroad. Germain Leduc, from Valleyfield, is a contest-winning fiddler as well as a pianist well versed in Quebec folk music. He can even play piano upside down and backwards. “This will be a unique evening of music that will appeal to all Ottawa Valley fans of traditional music and fiddling,” says Theilheimer.

CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP

Still-active McInnes House’s 155-year history honoured

OF McNAB/BRAESIDE 2011 Final Tax Payment Notice

Residential/Farm Only

PETER CLARK

Taxpayers are reminded that the Final installments of 2011 property taxes are due on JULY 29, 2011 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2011.

peter.clark@metroland.com

It was a special day – McInnes Day – July 10 in the Township of McNab-Braeside. After all, how often can you christen a home that’s 155 years old? That’s what they did at the house currently owned by Barry and Eva Yantha. They wanted to honour the history of the land and what has become known as the McInnes House in memory of its first occupants, Angus McInnes and Elizabeth Airth. The Yanthas weren’t alone. About 90 invited McInnes descendants from across Canada joined them, along with some of the families who lived in this house, for a fine Sunday afternoon and evening of reminiscing.

If you own property in the Township of McNab/Braeside and did not receive a Tax Bill, please call the Township Office at 623-5756 or 1-800-957-4621. You may pay your tax bill in person at the Municipal Office (cash, cheque and bank debit card accepted), by Mail, Bank of Nova Scotia (Arnprior), Telephone & Internet Banking (all major banks). There is a mail slot located at the front door of the Municipal office for after hours drop off. If you require a receipt, please bring or mail the entire bill to the office when making a payment. Thank you.

WELCOME Eva Yantha addressed the gathering. “On behalf of Barry and myself, I extend a warm welcome to all the descendants of Angus McInnes and Elizabeth Airth, to this the home of the first settlers of Lot 27 Con. 5 of McNab Township. “This home is all of 155 years old. Would any home of today stand this test of time? “We thought it only appropriate that the house be honoured on behalf of the first settlers, Angus and Elizabeth, who built the house, and Paul and Amelia (Yantha), who restored it. That is why we are here today.” Some of the home’s history was found in notes from a wedding, Yantha said. John I. Miller and Maggie McInnes – granddaughter of Angus and Elizabeth – were married in the front hall of the stone house on April 21, 1909. Carter Virgin – their 10-month-old great, great, great grandson – was the youngest relative at this year’s celebration. BIG STONE HOUSE “The place was known as the stone house on Spruce Avenue, McNab. Barry’s parents, Amelia and Paul Yantha were very proud of this place. They bought it in 1947 and brought it back in shape in the 1950s and ’60s after it being vacant for three years. “Mrs. Dorothy Wold and many other McInnes relatives have visited it over the years, because of its uniqueness,” Eva Yantha added. Friend and guest Jim Ferguson said it was a special day. “The gathering today is to honour the Big Stone House and tell of its owners

Noreen C. Mellema, CMO CAO/Clerk From left are Jamie Virgin, holding son Carter, at 10 months the youngest McInnes descendent; and Dorothy (Blackburn) Wold, 89 of Edmonton, the most senior McInnes descendent. A scroll was presented and plaque unveiled, with the McInnes tartan, in honour of McInnes House on McInnes Day July 10 in McNab/Braeside Township. and tenants. If the walls could talk what stories they could tell. “The research was the work of many. A project like this starts out as a simple story but with a house of this stature and history the information grows and grows. The more you discover the more there is to discover,” Ferguson said. McNab-Braeside Township Mayor Mary Campbell presented a scroll which read, ‘The people and council of the Township of McNab-Braeside wish to congratulate Barry and Eva Yantha on their restoration of McInnes House. We offer our thanks for preserving this 155-year home, one of the last remaining original stone buildings in the township, built in 1864 by Angus McInnes and Elizabeth Airth. McInnes House remains an important piece of McNab-Braeside heritage.’ A plaque was also unveiled with the eldest McInnes descendant, Dorothy Blackburn Wold, 89, of Edmonton; and the youngest, Carter Virgin, participating, along with Carter’s dad Jamie, and Eva Yantha.

Capacity expansion approved for Valley Waste Recovery Centre The Ministry of Environment (MOE) notified Ottawa Valley Waste Recovery Centre (OVWRC) staff July 15 that the application for increased processing capacity at the Centre’s recycling facility had been approved. The Certificate of Approval (C of A) amendment will allow the Centre to process an additional 4,000 tonnes of paper and container recyclables per year. Sue McCrae, general manager of the Ottawa Valley Waste Recovery Centre explains what this means for OVWRC. “Our local recycling programs have been so successful that in recent years the Centre has reached its licensed processing capacity. “Approval to process additional recyclables means our programs can continue to grow and expand.

“This is good news for local municipalities and businesses seeking a processor for their recyclables.,” McCrae said. Coun. Steve Bennett, chair of the Ottawa Valley Waste Management Board, was pleased with the recent C of A Amendment from the MOE. “The OVWRC is open for business,” he said. “The board is pleased to be able to continue accepting recyclables from non-partner municipalities. This guarantees long-term, local, recyclable processing capacity.” The Ottawa Valley Waste Recovery Centre is an integrated waste management facility with five municipal partners – the Town of Petawawa, the City of Pembroke, the Township of Laurentian Valley, the Township of North Algona Wilberforce and Sebastopol The Ottawa Valley Waste Recovery Centre on Woito Station Road recently received approval to process an adWard of Bonnechere Valley. ditional 4,000 tonnes of recyclables per year.

The Journey GWEN RUTLAND Studies show that 80 to 90 per cent of women leave and go back to abusive relationships more than once. This ambivalent stage, where women are often confused about what to do, often causes huge problems, and can lead supportive family members and friends to give up on them. At this stage, the woman is trying to decide whether to leave or stay in the relationship. And that is not an easy decision. Why does a woman go back? Because she wants the relationship to work. Because she is afraid of threats her abuser has made, or because she wants to believe her abuser’s promises. She may feel guilty about the idea of breaking up the family. She may not have enough support, resources and/or confidence. She may not believe that she can make it on her own. If or when she goes back, she is hoping that she can change the relationship. Though nearly every abused women goes through this ambivalent stage, they do so in different ways. Some may leave and go back many times. They may come to a final decision or resolution over time or suddenly. The ambivalent or uncertain stage can take many years. Why does a woman leave? She believes her life is in danger. She fears for her children. She has some hope of supporting herself. She has mustered enough self-confidence to believe that she can have a satisfying life on her own. Whether an abused woman leaves or stays, she needs on-going support. Bernadette McCann House Community Support and Outreach Program attempts to build on women’s strength and is respectful of

There are many reasons why a woman leaves. women’s choices. Women are encouraged to be actively involved in the process of defining and evaluating the service they receive, and to take the lead in determining their goals. Support is also provided through workshops and groups for both women and their children to help in this journey. Services for children include a group called Growing Together, offering support by helping children learn new ways of coping with their feelings and behaviours that arise in families that have experienced abuse. Children are encouraged to build self-esteem that will enable them to break the isolation of abuse. The primary focus is to promote the healing process for children and their parents. Although leaving an abusive relationship is a positive step, the process can be a very difficult one and it should not be a decision you make alone. Personal safety and legal rights become more difficult to ensure when an abusive partner is involved. Arrange to spend time with family and close friends. You may also wish to get in touch with the staff of the shelter in your community to get reinforcement and support. Bernadette McCann House provides critical services and support to women facing domestic violence. For more information, please call 613-7327776, or visit our website at www.wsssbmh.org.

Conference at Shiloh Hills July 29 to Aug. 1 Shiloh Hills will be hosting conference speaker Jacques Isaac Gabizon, gifted Bible expositor during the long weekend in August. Gabizon will be holding eight sessions from Friday, July 29 through Monday, Aug. 1 in the Tent at 1029 Pucker Street, Renfrew. The weekend will feature the insightful teaching and discussion with Gabizon, Pastor of Beth Ariel Messianic Congregation in Montreal, and director of Ariel Ministries Canada. Gabizon will be speaking on The Middle East in Bible Prophecy and highlights from The Book of The Revelation. Born in Morocco, Gabizon’s family immigrated to Montreal in 1968 when he was 13 after the Six Day War in Israel made it less than ideal to be a Jew in a Moslem country. Through a growing interest in religion and prophecy in college, Gabizon was introduced to Christian literature and began studying God’s Word which led to his belief in Yeshua as the Messiah. Since becoming a believer, the Holy Spirit graciously brought Sharon, his wife, to the Lord. “Jacques has a passion for ministry, and the correct teaching of God’s Word,” notes a Shiloh Hills press release. “Together, Jacques and Sharon hold firmly to the command of Yeshua that we do not merely aid in salvation, but need to disciple and help mature all believers.” Jacques will be teaching on Friday, July 29 at 7:30 p.m., plus four sessions Saturday, two on Sunday, and a final session Monday, Aug. 1 at 10 a.m.

As well, people will hear the testimony of Jackie Fierman, Messianic Jewish Believer, at 7:30 p.m. Sunday. A Messianic Jew since the age of 17, Fierman was raised in St. Louis, in a Conservative Jewish home. Once coming to faith, she encountered intense persecution from friends and family. Both of her parents eventually became believers in Jesus. In 1986, Fierman earned a master’s level Certificate of Biblical Studies from Trinity Evangelical Seminary. Fierman joined Ariel Ministries in January of 2005 and has since been travelling through Quebec, New Brunswick, Maine, Ontario and western Canada. She has also spoken on radio and television, and has been a conference speaker at evangelistic meeting as well as women’s retreats, She now resides in Montreal. The weekend gets underway with the Shabbat Meal Friday (July 29) at 6 p.m. to begin the Jewish Sabbath. Shiloh Hills was founded by the late Dr. Max Putnam and wife Peggy, and was first incorporated as a non-profit charitable organization in November 1986. Shiloh Hills was founded to foster unity amongst God’s people and to be a ministry of encouragement, teaching and making disciples. Interdenominational in nature, and ministering to both French and English, the summer Tent Ministry has become well established serving the National Capital Region.

New ministers at Trinity-St. Andrew’s Congregation welcomes husband-wife team PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

For a number of years, Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church has gone through a series of interim ministers. Now they can call two as their own as the husband-wife team of Russell Wardell and Susan Tough have made the move from Winnipeg to the Renfrew church. Wardell said they were looking for a community that would be a better size, have the same outlook in faith. The new ministers held their first Sunday service July 10. Wardell said they are starting to recognize the faces. “We are getting to know the community better, meet the people and get to know them.” “It’s good to start with the chicken barbecue,” a grinning Tough added of the church’s annual barbecue July 14. “We have felt very welcome both in the community and at the church,” Tough said. Wardell was ordained in 1987 and Tough is coming up to 20 years, she added. “I’m looking forward,” Wardell said of he and Tough’s move to Trinity-St. Andrew’s. “It’s an interesting time to be in the church.” He is quick to point out, it can also be a struggle, and he’s not surprised to see Trinity-St. Andrew’s hasn’t had a fulltime minister in quite some time.

“Churches all across the country are in a state of transition. Barry (Goodwin) and Heather (Kinkaid) did a great job getting things ready for us,” Wardell added. Tough is from Toronto and Russell from Sarnia. They met out west, but are happy to have moved back east, and look to a longtime stay at Trinity-St. Andrew’s. “We are really looking forward to being a part of the community,” Tough said.

Even the old ones, like these abandoned oldtimers, have a romantic spirit and hearken back to simpler times behind the wheel on country roads. As you travel the county’s back roads this summer, watch for and appreciate the remnants of a rich heritage. Mercury photo by Lucy Hass

Louis Schryer is a multi-winner of Canada’s biggest fiddle contests.

Helfertys in concert Sunday Enjoy an Afternoon in the Park event this Sunday, July 24 at O’Brien Park featuring the Helferty family at 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 7 Simon Clarke appears at the O’Brien Park bandshell, also at 2 p.m.

This weekend the Beachburg Fair celebrates a western theme. The many attractions include a Sunday Classic Country Re-Vu with Peter Dawson and Jennifer Johnston, the Brysonnaires and Revival.

Louis Schryer, one of Canada’s most-awarded fiddlers, will give the first in a serious of four world-class summer concerts for Stone Fence Theatre on Thursday, July 21 at 7:30 p.m. To call Schryer, 43 an outstanding fiddler is an understatement. He is a multi-winner of Canada’s biggest fiddle contests include winning the Open Fiddle Champion at Shelburne eight times, including being its youngest-ever winner at age 18, and Pembroke four times in a row. “Fiddling is part of my life,” he says. “I enjoy it, I enjoy the people arond me, I love enertaining people. It’s not work, I truly enjoy it.” Schryer is also the fourtime Canadian Grand Masters Fiddle Champion, the only to have won the Canadian Grand Masters Fiddling Championship for four years. Each year, five of the best old time fiddlers from each of the ten provinces and two territories are chosen, by invitation, to compete in the

Canadian Grand Masters Fiddling Championship held in Nepean, Born and raised in Sault Ste. Marie, Louis has been playing the fiddle since the age of eight. He is one of three fiddling triplets, his sister plays fiddle and piano and his brother Raymond plays fiddle and is a famous violein maker. Schryer received his training in both classical and traditional music. He moved to the Ottawa Valley in 1989 and attained a Bachelor of Music Degree from the University of Ottawa in April 1994. He lives in Chapeau, QC with his wife Paula and daughters Chelsey and Kaitlyn and teaches math and music at Dr. Wilbert Keon School there. “I remember coming to the Ottawa Valley,” he says. “The Valley was so full of music.” Schryer produced the triplets’ famous album Triple Fiddle in 1994 , which he also produced and recently released his first solo CD.

Please find me a home

Schryer’s versatility in music enables him to record in various musical styles, but his favourite is swing. Favourite fiddlers include Johnny Gimble, Graham Townsend, and Mark O’Connor. “Music is my life,” says Louis. “I enjoy performing for an audience and doing studio musician work, and I would like the opportunity to learn more and to improve my capabilities to endless limits.” At the concert on July 21, he will be playing with guitarist Kerry Vaillancourt, Arny Gardiner on bass, (Pembroke police chief) Dave Hawkins on drums, and three excellent young fiddler-dancers: Christa Rosein, and Emma and Will March, who are also part of the Stone Fence Theatre production The Opeongo Opera. Tickets for the concert cost $25 and are available on the Stone Fence Theatre website – www.stonefence.ca – or from the box office. The toll-free number is 1-866- 310-1004.

#3997 Murphy Murphy is an active two-year-old Beagle/ Spaniel mix who was brought to the shelter as a stray and never claimed. He is an active dog who will require regular walks and activities to keep him busy. Murphy knows some basic commands but would benefit from more training. He is cratetrained and housebroken. Murphy gets along with some dogs and would be best suited in a home without cats and older children. He is very sweet and deserves to find a loving new home.

Nature

A rare blackbird arrives

ORIOLE FEEDER Randy White’s oriole feeder has attracted an unusual drinker. A brown thrasher has taken a liking to the sugar water Randy is providing for the orioles. Most species have a sweet tooth and will feed at any source of sweet liquid. Hummingbird feeders are usually too small for the birds to gain a solid grip on the perches. An oriole feeder has larger holes and sturdier perches, therefore larger birds are able to support themselves on the perches to drink. Randy is also feeding sunflower seeds and the results have been very good. Rose-breasted and evening grosbeaks are frequent visitors as are purple and gold finches. BIRDBATHS Next to bird feeders, birdbaths are the best way to attract birds to your yard. Birds must have a source of water regardless of the season; water in the warm weather and snow in the cold weather. Providing water for birds is restricted only by your imagination. Commercial birdbaths are available from several sources but do not improve your chances of getting birds to use them. Any source of water that meets the birds’ requirements will do. Birds prefer shallow water. One or two inches of water in a shallow container are best, anything deeper than three inches spells danger for the birds and they will avoid it. A non-skid bottom surface will provide the birds with solid footing when they are splashing around. Leave an open area near the bath because the birds cannot fly when their plumage is heavy with water. The open area will give them time to escape any predator.

SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE Clean water free of algae, mud and droppings provides a healthy situation for the birds. Clean the bath and provide fresh water daily. Good luck. PURPLE FINCHES Henry and Sally Ann Schmidt at Black Donald Lake have several pairs of purple finches nesting near their home. Henry says that one or two nesting pairs are the usual number. Purple finches choose an evergreen tree for nesting. The nest is firmly attached to a limb between ground level and 60 feet (18 m). Evergreen plantations (especially of Christmas trees) have greatly extended the range of this species. Parks and recreation areas where evergreens have been planted have also attracted nesting pairs. We must apologize to Henry and Sally Ann for misspelling their name in last week’s column. Smith and Schmidt sound somewhat the same but are definitely not spelled the same.

Bob Carbino had a rare Brewer’s blackbird arrive at his feeder on Opeongo Road this week. Because of its black plumage it blends in very well with common grackles, red-winged blackbirds and starlings and is very often overlooked. The bird was feeding on sunflower seed in the company of a female rose-breasted grosbeak and a female evening grosbeak. The best field marks for this species are the glossy, greenish black body, white eye and black bill. The rusty blackbird is very similar but has a yellow eye. The Brewer’s blackbird arrived from the west and was first recorded at Thunder Bay in 1945. It was absent from the Ottawa Valley until just recently. It bobs its head back and forth when walking and usually nests in colonies of several pairs. The song is a creaky squawk and not really a song at all.

WEATHER JUST DUCKY While rain may put a damper on some summer fun, these mallards making their way along the shoreline happily make their way through the bubbling raindrops.

YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO Cecily Button heard a yellowbilled cuckoo last week near their home at Mount St. Patrick. This species is uncommon to the area and is also very secretive. Its hollow wooden call is usually the first indication of its presence. The call has been compared to the sound of a door knocker hitting the strike plate. It’s often called the “raincrow” because of its tendency to call just before stormy weather arrives. It is a slender, long-tailed bird, that is grey above and white below. The bill is long and curved; the upper mandible is black lower bright yellow (thus the name). MOST ABUNDANT The Canadian Christmas Bird Count listed the common crow, European starling, Canada goose, mallard and the blackcapped chickadee (in that order) as being the most abundant birds in the count. The Renfrew and Area Bird Count listed the common crow, American goldfinch, wild turkey, snow bunting and black-capped chickadee as being the most abundant. Two out of three is not bad. Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, RR 5, Renfrew, Ont., K7V 3Z8. Phone 613-432-2738 or email jamesh@ nrtco.net.

OLGA LEWIS FROM THE OLD FILES

JULY 14, 1971 LANDMARKS DEMOLISHED: Two old landmarks of Douglas are in the process of being torn down. One is on the corner of Highway No 60, about one hundred years old. It was built by Michael Neville, who had a barber shop in the front room of the house. Then the John Finns lived there, Mrs. John Ryan, Joe Dane Searson, Mr. and Mrs. John McMahon, Mr. and Mrs. James Russell and P.J. (King) McMahon. The house is being demolished to make room for a wider turnoff on the highway as requested by the Ontario Department of Highways. The other building is the CPR station, believed to be over 75 years old. Since there is no need for it now, it is being dismantled. COUNCIL TO LOOK INTO TRAILER PARK: A special committee comprised of Councillors Frank Tobin, Don Aikenhead and Reeve W.C. Moore, was set up Monday evening by Mayor Bryan Carswell to look into the feasibility, costs and method of operation of a trailer park and tenting camp in Renfrew. The mayor explained that the matter of such an operation had often been discussed and the fact was brought out that Renfrew has no place to offer to passing tourists travelling with trailers, a place to stop. It was not the intention of the plan to interfere with any private operation, but perhaps to operate in co-operation with it to make the venture a success. Mayor Carswell said a possible site has been looked at and he hoped such an operation might be available by the summer of 1972. For help with research contact olewis@sympatico.ca.

NEW STORAGE UNITS: Mr. James Barker was in Montreal this week in connection with some new special order received by the Barnet Manufacturing Company. One of these orders is for a big cold storage for Sir Montague Allan’s beautiful residence in Westmount, and the other is for a big refrigerator for the new extension to the Queen’s Hotel. Both of these big orders have to be delivered inside of a month. There are a large number of specially-designed Barnet refrigerators and cold storages in Montreal now, and they seem to be their own best advertisement for the numbers continue to increase, until the finest and most expensive buildings seem to look naturally for the Barnet system to complete their conveniences. TAX RATE FOR 1911: The tax rate for the town for this year has not yet been adjusted, although it is understood that the Finance Committee recommended a rate that was about three mills higher than last year. Some of the councillors thought the rate might be kept lower than this; and the Mayor seems to be certain that so high a rate is not essentially necessary. The whole matter was considered in committee of the whole, so there is nothing official for publication, but it is rumoured that the tax rate this year will be a little higher than last year, though rigid economy will be practiced to prevent it from going up.

Parker, born in small-town Alberta, grew up in a musical family, with old-time fiddle, piano and family country dances in his blood. Bill says “I loved to ‘twirl or two-step’ around the dance floor” which puts him in good stead here in the Ottawa Valley, known for its fiddle and ‘down home’ music! Bill’s radio experience stretches from the prairies to Ontario and for the past 20-plus years has been involved with Ottawa radio stations CFGO, Energy 1200 and more recently, Majic 100.

Health

Diabetes is a chronic disease which results in high levels of glucose or sugar in the blood. Diabetes occurs when the body either cannot produce insulin or cannot properly use the insulin it produces. The 2 most common types of diabetes are Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the pancreas no longer produces any or very little insulin. Type 2 diabetes is a disease that occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin to meet the body’s needs and/or the body is unable to respond properly to the actions of the insulin. Prediabetes refers to a condition where a person’s blood sugar or glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes.

Despite the name, prediabetes doesn’t have to progress to type 2 diabetes. Lifestyle changes and medication (if needed), can improve your picture. Studies have shown that with moderate weight loss (5-10 per cent) and regular exercise (30 minutes 5 days/week), the onset of type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed by up to 58 per cent of the time. Having prediabetes also means you are at very high risk of developing hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) which can ultimately lead to heart attacks and strokes. However, this does not have to happen. Aggressive treatment of prediabetes and other vascular risk factors can keep you healthy. This means healthy eating, being physically active, achieving

If you are age 40 or over, you are at risk for type 2 diabetes and should be tested at least every three years. If any of the risk factors below apply to you, you should be tested for diabetes earlier and/ or more often. • Having a family history of diabetes • Being a member of a high risk population (Native, African, Asian, Hispanic) • Existing complications asso-

ciated with diabetes (eye, nerve or kidney problems) • Having heart disease or high blood pressure • Being overweight • Having prediabetes Signs and symptoms of diabetes are: • Unusual thirst • Frequent urination • Weight change • Extreme fatigue or lack of energy • Blurred vision • Frequent or recurring infections • Cuts or bruises that are slow to heal • Tingling or numbness in hands or feet • Trouble getting or maintaining an erection Many people who have Type 2 diabetes may display no symp-

No matter where we live, we are all Ontarians working towards the common good; striving to bring out the best in each other,” says John Wilkinson, Minister of the Environment. The news release also notes: • Last year, 99.88 per cent of over 600,000 municipal drinking water tests taken in Ontario met all of our stringent drinking water requirements. • Ontario’s general minimum wage is $10.25 an hour, an increase of almost 50 per cent since 2003. • Ontario’s agri-food sector is one of our leading industries, contributing more than $33 billion to the economy every year. • Ontario’s roads are now the safest in North America thanks to road safety measures that are saving lives, preventing injuries and reducing collisions.

Ontario now has cleaner air for people to breathe, fewer children living in poverty, and stable support for farmers to weather unpredictable times. “That is just some of the good news for communities across the province as outlined in Ontario’s 2011 Progress Report,” says a news release from the provincial government. “The annual report shows the results Ontarians are achieving together,” it says. “Ontario is stronger when everyone has an opportunity to succeed, good food to eat and safe water to drink, and a place to call home. That’s why the government continues to invest in the well-being of our people and communities.” The news release says the government has made a difference the lives of Ontario families by: • Implementing the toughest drinking water standards in North America to help ensure clean, safe drinking water for all Ontarians. • Providing up to $1,100 annually per child to low-income families through the Ontario Child Benefit, which helps over one million children. • Creating a new risk management program for farmers to help protect farms and ensure Ontario families continue to

The popular ecoENERGY Retrofit – Homes program will help residents save on home improvements and energy costs while improving the environment. “Constituents across my riding have written me asking for the renewal of this program so they can continue to make energy efficient upgrades to their home,” said Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant. “With this program, we are not only helping Canadians save money but also creating thousands of jobs for local small business home renovation contractors and protecting our environment, a double win for local residents.” From July 13, 2011 to March 31, 2012, homeowners may be eligible to receive reimbursements of up to $5,000 to make their homes more energy-efficient. “Our government remains committed to supporting hard-working families and creating jobs for local businesses. Homeowners who participated in the program saved, on average, 20 percent on their energy bills,” Gallant said. There are two important changes to the program. First, there is a requirement for participants to register directly with the program before booking their evaluation. Second, homeowners will now be required to provide receipts to their energy advisor at the time of the post-retrofit evaluation to confirm eligibility for the grant. The final deadline to complete retrofits and obtain a post-retrofit evaluation is March 31, 2012. However, program regis-

MP Cheryl Gallant demonstrates a retrofit project. tration will close to new participants if the financial limit has been reached before that date. “Anyone wanting more information on the ecoEnergy Retrofit program should contact my constituency office in Pembroke,” Gallant said. “The renewal of this popular program was a promise made in the last election. It is important to keep one’s election promises, and in this case promise made, promise kept,” Gallant said.

Prime Minister’s award celebrates Canadians who make a difference Nominations are now being accepted for the Prime Minister’s Award for Volunteers. “Our experience in the Ottawa Valley is that the best solutions to the challenges facing Canada’s communities are more often than not found locally. For this reason, in January 2011, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced the creation of the Prime Minister’s Award for Volunteers to recognize the enormous contribution volunteers make to Canada,” said Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant. The Prime Minister’s Volunteer Awards recognize the exceptional contributions of volunteers, local businesses and innovative not-for-profit organizations in improving the well-being of families and their communities. The awards program consists of 17 awards in total, two at the national level and 15 at the regional level. The awards highlight best practices in community leadership and encourage partnerships across sectors.

The goal of the Awards is to inspire Canadians from all walks of life to find new ways of making a difference in their communities. Award recipients will be announced each year at an award ceremony, the first of which will be held in early 2012. Regional award recipients will be eligible to identify a not-for-profit organization to receive a $5,000 grant. National award recipients will be eligible to identify a not-for-profit organization to receive a $10,000 grant. If you know a volunteer, innovative not-for-profit organization or a local business that makes a positive impact on your community, you can nominate them today. For more information contact Gallant’s office. The deadline for nominations is midnight (EDT) on Sept. 9, 2011. Nominations submitted by mail must be postmarked no later than the deadline. “It would be an honour for me to assist in any applications for these prestigious awards for volunteers,” said Gallant.

The Renfrew Mercury - July 21, 2011

REPORT FROM QUEEN’S PARK

Liberal desperation as election nears JOHN YAKABUSKI

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP

That the McGuinty Liberals are beginning to show signs of a certain desperation leading up to the October provincial election should come as no real surprise to anyone following Queen’s Park. I mean, they know how to read as well as anyone else, and I’m sure recent polling numbers have them on a steady diet of Alka-Seltzer and Maalox. Let me point out that I’m not one that gets too excited about polls. However it sure seems that the Liberals are watching them closely and not liking what they see. I suppose it’s fair to say that as a result, their actions are betraying their desperation. One thing about these recent polls is that each time one comes out, it’s more negative for Dalton McGuinty that the previous one, indicating clearly that Ontario voters are even more fed up with the government than the Liberals themselves had feared. So now begins their response. Negative advertising towards opponents, surveillance of opposing party leaders, including my own, PC leader Tim Hudak, who has a permanent shadow following him around the province to all his stops. And other advertising extolling the virtues of eight years of McGuinty government. Now begins the campaign before the campaign, with the Liberals blatantly intent on pulling out all the stops in order to get re-elected, almost as if there’s this sense of entitlement they have, that they should be the government simply because, well, it’s them. What nonsense, and frankly, as I travel Ontario in my role as Opposition House Leader, I can tell you that the people of this province will have none of it. They are angry, and what’s more, intent on doing something about that anger, and they can see early October coming up on their calendars as an opportunity to do just that. They’ve earned the right to feel as they do, paying more than they once did for just about everything, when they were promised otherwise by a Dalton McGuinty government that excels at making promises, but fails miserably when it comes to keeping them. This is a government that has failed to keep its word time and time again. They promised to not raise taxes in 2003, were elected, then promptly raised taxes. More promises to hold the line on taxes in 2007, and again, once elected, proceeded to whack us

with the HST. There’s only so much of this that people are willing to take, and I’m certainly getting the sense that the line of tolerance for this kind of behaviour was crossed a long time ago. Health premiums, the HST, eco fees, electricity costs. These are just some of the reasons why our cost of living has gone up since the Liberals took power back in 2003. And friends, make no mistake, the re-election of the McGuinty Liberals is a guarantee that your taxes will rise again. It’s what Dalton does . He is “The Taxman”, and there can be no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Many Ontario residents have already passed the tipping point, that point where they have the ability to cope with the everincreasing costs of simply living in this province. They have seen the quality of life erode, not just for themselves, but for their children who are just beginning to make their way in this world. And all of this is compounded when living in a riding such as Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, where incomes tend to be lower on average, and the price of many things tends to be higher due to the effects of geography and distance. To me, it’s not acceptable. And I know I’m not alone in that line of thinking. How dare they tell us how much better our lives are when we watch what we once had beginning to erode, not because of any uncontrollable factor, but directly as a result of government policy. What unmitigated gall they have to come right into our homes, look us right in the eye, and ask us for our votes, even conveying to us their expectation that they should have our votes. As if that was their entitlement, and that we should somehow even thank them for all they do for us. While higher taxes and fees are a certainty with the Liberals, Tim Hudak and the PC’s will offer real relief for Ontario families as outlined in our “Changebook” plan. That makes the choice in October clear. More of the same from the Liberals, or the relief you deserve under a Tim Hudak led PC government. I believe that people, come October, will be asking themselves if they can afford another four years of Dalton McGuinty. No fewer than 14 sitting Liberal MPPs – with likely more to come – have decided not to seek re-election in October. Perhaps it’s because they know the answer to the question. Just like the rest of us.

Status quo not working: NDP In a July 16 news release, NDP candidate Brian Dougherty, says the status quo is nto working. The young family man and electrical worker from Arnprior is the NDP candidate for the October provincial election in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke. On June 20 the local NDP riding association met at the Renfrew Recreation Centre to acclaim the father of two as their standard bearer. He was nominated by federal riding president Eric Burton and seconded by two-time provincial candidate Felicite Stairs. Dougherty said in his acceptance speech that he was interested in working with the community to make life more affordable, create and protect good jobs, and build health care that puts people first. “You know the status quo isn’t working for you,” he said. “You know it’s time for change. It’s your chance to demand the Ontario you want. In this election, you can stick with the same tired ideas that you know aren’t working, that make your life more expensive, and your province less fair or you can pick change that puts people first.” Dougherty lives in Arnprior with his wife, Kim, and their daughters Samantha 7, and Sydney, 3. He is a licensed electrical apprentice working with T&K Conroy Construction, a family-run business. Born in Toronto, he went to Northern College in South Porcupine where he received a three-year diploma as a Native child and community worker. After that he travelled the country and lived in Calgary for nine years. He also worked with the Child and Youth Worker Association of Alberta to get the job of CYW designated as professional by the provincial government. He and his wife moved to Arnprior almost four years ago to be close to her family. Brian entered the trades and expects to be fully licensed as an

NDP candidate Brian Dougherty

electrician in the near future. He has been an Eco Energy Evaluator for 2.5 years and an Energy Star for New Homes Evaluator for over a year. He uses these skills to ensure that people are making their homes healthier for the environment and for themselves. “Dougherty’s passion for politics was fed by working with Timmins-James Bay MPP Gilles Bisson as a student, the political work he did with the Child and Youth Worker Association and what he has seen happening in Renfrew-Nipissing- Pembroke and the rest of Ontario since returning to the Ottawa Valley,” the news release July 16said. At the nomination meeting, CUPE members Claude Venne and Chris Day, members of County of Renfrew Paramedics, attended to express their union’s support. Immediately afterwards, Dougherty travelled with Eric Burton to Toronto where Dougherty attended a training session for new candidates while Burton, who will manage the campaign, received manager’s training. “They then took part in the NDP’s campaign kickoff. There, they heard NDP leader Andrea Horwath announce a party platform calling for taking the HST off daily essentials, replacing corporate tax giveaways with rewards for job creators and small A news release from the provincial Liberal business, cutting wait times in emergency rooms campaign says about 500 jobs have been created in in half, and eliminating waits for long-term care Renfrew as a result of provincial infrastructure and home care,” the release says. investments in local priorities like: $8,466,710 for local road improvements, including $1,310,000 for 270 Lake Street, Pembroke ON the rehabilitation of Ridge Road including new sidewalks and a new urban cross section; $400,000 for the rehabilitation of Makwa Centre including a new exercise room and new kitchen facilities; and $5,330,000 for upgrades to the Water Pollution Bus: 613-735-1062 Control Centre in Arnprior.

Agriculture

The Renfrew Mercury - July 21, 2011

No hand milking skills observed at celebrity milking competitions Celebrity milking competitions are a popular contest at agricultural fairs across North America. It’s a fun and fundraising event for mostly urban folks as they watch people-inthe-news try their hand at milking a submissive Holstein cow. I should get a kick out of the competitions, which were held locally in Ottawa and Kemptville, but I could cry over how the art of hand milking has gone to the clowns. They are udderly silly because it gives the public a false picture of milking. You can’t just plunk a pail on the ground between a cow’s leg and hunch down beside her pulling one teat at a time. That’s not how it’s done! Most dairy cows will kick backwards as well as sideways if you monkey around or set a pail between their legs. Milking isn’t for the inexperienced. The docile bovines at milking competitions are not your average dairy cows. They are used to being hand milked. Of the numerous milking competition pictures I’ve looked at, only a few people stand out as exhibiting some skills as hand milkers. They are the ones who sit close to the cow and have their head in the cow’s thick flank – above the udder. That’s good because it gives some control over the cow’s leg. The pail should not be on the ground. But these same milkers have their leg (and knee) out and

MAYNARD VAN DER GALIEN RURAL ROUTES away from the cow’s leg. Place the knees in front of her leg and have the milk pail between your knees – holding it up with your knee. That way the milk pail is sitting up safe and you won’t have the chance that milk hits the cow’s leg or hoof. She won’t like that. Some of the competitors at the Metcalfe event are holding a tiny or normal size pail under the udder with one hand and pulling a teat with the other. There’s a scary one of two women milking – one holds the pail through the cow’s back legs while the other one is bent down pulling one teat. Some competitions have no stools or rubber pails for milkers to sit on and they are hunched over or on their knees. Most are too far back. There are brave ones using both hands but are milking the wrong set of teats. While some celebrities pulled 70 ml at most, others just got a trace of milk. Lauren Harper has been a winner and is shown in one photo with a little milk in the bottom of a pail. I can’t see foam. My father always said you need foam on the milk or you don’t know how to milk. He should know. He could milk the tiny teats of heifers using his thumb and one finger and still have foam in the pail.

IN MEMORIAM

BROTHER In loving memory of a dear brother If I could write a story, It would be the greatest ever told Of a kind and loving man, Who had a heart of gold. I could write a million pages, But still be unable to say Just how much I love and miss him Every single day.

Marlene (Limlaw) Kauffeldt July 26 2007

In memory of a dear friend, We cannot see you with our eyes Or hear you with our ears. But thoughts of you are with us still And often dry our tears. You whisper in the rustling leaves That linger in the fall; And in the gentle evening breeze, We are sure we hear you call.

Jeff Draper April 23, 1982 – July 26, 2010

A part of you remains with us That none can take away. It gives us strength to carry on At dawning of new day.

Often in our minds, Forever in our hearts.

We think of happy times we shared And then we softly sigh. But this we know. Marlene. We’ll meet again And never say goodbye We sure do miss you, Love Ann, Donald, Jael and Colin

IN MEMORIAM

Thinking of you always, Missing your devilish antics! Love Joan, Kevin and family JOHNSTON, Nick, Kristy and Steven July 24 1999 So beautiful, so young Such innocent, trusting eyes So sudden, so final No time for goodbyes No time to say I love you, To soothe away their fears No time to hug and cuddle them And wipe away their tears.

IN MEMORIAM

ROBERTSON, Stewart You were someone I could talk to, That no one can replace, You were someone I could laugh with, Till the tears ran down my face, You were someone I could turn to, When I needed a helping hand, You were someone I could count on, To advise and understand. You were someone I though more of, As each year came to an end, You were my dearest brother, And also my dearest friend, Thank you for the memories, That are yours and mine alone, For they recall so many special moments, That you and I have known. Put your arms around him Lord, Treat him with special care, Make up for all he suffered, And all that seemed unfair. Stewart received his angel wings July 19, 2010.

DEATHS

BECKETT, Bill I stand here today, on the last day of your journey. You can finally be at rest. I know you would have loved to tell us about your adventure to University. You always wanted to go and talked about it right to the end. You always told me when I was growing up that I could do anything I put my mind to, if I wanted it bad enough. I’ve passed that knowledge on to my kids. You taught me to love the simple things in life, whether it was a really cool rock, all sparkly and smooth, a spider threading a complicated web or just sitting quietly by the water with one that you love, listening to nature. You taught me to see beauty is everywhere. Laughter is what makes the soul stronger and if you put enough nails in it; it will never fall apart.... Your journey is over Dad, it is time to rest.

RENFREW MERCURY - July 21 2011

In loving memory of a dear brother, brotherin-law and uncle, Stewart Robertson who passed away July 19, 2010 Day by day, I think of you How can all of this be true? I can’t believe you’re really gone, I can’t accept it, I’m trying to be strong. Thoughts go back to happy days When we were all together, Our family chain is broken now, But memories live forever. If tears could build a stairway And memories a lane, I would walk right up to Heaven And bring you all back again. When days are sad and lonely And everything goes wrong, I seem to hear you whisper “Cheer up and carry on”. You showed me a lot of things big brother, So much I didn’t know, But you forgot to teach me one last thing, How to let you go. Each time I see your picture You smile at me and say “Don’t cry, I’m in God’s Hands And we’ll meet again someday!” Your face is always before me, Your piano playing I would love to hear, That memory I will always treasure Of a big brother I love so dear.

Stewart, you are loved and missed so much every day! Janet and Shawn April, Alyssa, Amber
