Canada Day was extra special for three residents of Admaston/Bromley as three awards were handed out on July 1.

The gym at St. Michael’s Catholic School in Douglas was full with song and history for the awards ceremony.

Lynn Agnew was named the 2017 citizen of the year, David Reid was announced as the senior of the year, and Miranda Crogie is the youth citizen of the year.

Coun. Bob Hall presented the citizen of the year award to Agnew’s daughter Amber Resmer and her granddaughter Piper as she is currently away on vacation out west.

Hall told the large crowd about the Agnew family; Lynn and her husband Tom operate a dairy cash/crop farm in the Admaston/Bromley Pine Valley area.

Tomlyn Farms has hosted Rural Ramble and many of the Renfrew County Soil and Crop Association meetings.

Agnew Family / Tomlyn Farms was recognized in 2014 for achieving 100 years of successful family farming tradition, 1914 — 2014 in the Geographic Township of Bromley, the beautiful Pine Valley.

Lynn is a very active volunteer member of the St. Michael’s Catholic Women’s League and of St. Michael’s Church in Douglas.

She is also heavily involved with the local library and was a driving force in helping to move the library to its current location.

“She didn’t know about the award until I posted something on Facebook and forgot to block her,” said Amber.

“I know she is very honoured and she loves the community and I am very happy to accept it on her behalf.”

Senior of the Year promotes township From front page

Reid has lived in the township all his life and started farming when he was 15 years old.

From that 100-acre farm David, his wife Joan, and their family have expanded their holdings to 1,100 acres of mixed dairy and cash crop business.

As a pedigreed seed producer and grower of test plots, he was instrumental in developing quality seeds for farmers. His involvement with agriculture has benefited so many organizations such as 4H, Renfrew County Soil and Crop, Renfrew Milk Producers, The Renfrew County Milk Committee, Dairy Farmers of Renfrew County, The Federation of Agriculture, the Holstein Association, the Bonnechere River Watershed Project, and the Renfrew Fall Fair.

In 2014, he was the recipient of the Super Long Time Service Award from the Renfrew County Soil and Crop Association, and that same year his family received the BMO Family Farm Award. He is also in the Renfrew County Wall of Fame, and is very active with his church and the local Canadian Foodgrains project.

“Thank you David and Joan for making Admaston/Bromley your home,” said Quilty.

As Reid accepted the award, he called to the front of the gym his wife of 54 years.

“I couldn’t do half of the things I do without her,” said Reid.

Reid told a story of a bear coming on the farm as some locals came to help, which went along with some other humorous stories Quilty shared about Reid.

“I advertise Admaston/Bromley everywhere I go,” said Reid as he shared that on his trip to Ethiopia, he brought pins from the township. “I am very

surprised and honoured, thank you everyone.”

There were some anxious moments before the ceremony as no one told Crogie she had won, hoping to leave it as a surprise.

“I didn’t know I was winning an award, and my (family) called when I was done work as they were worried I wouldn’t make it,” Crogie told the audience.

Coun. Bob Dick made the presentation to Crogie and called her a very active, caring, and dedicated member of 4H. “Miranda has many strengths and a very positive attitude that she brings forth in all her endeavours, whether it be as a member, leader within the 4H organization, her everyday love of life and people, or in her university courses,” said Dick. “Thanks, Miranda, and we are proud that you call Admaston/Bromley home.”

Crogie has been a volunteer with 4H for 11 years.

In 2014, she won the Tim Hortons scholarship, of which only 200 are handed out each year, and was the first person to win in the Renfrew area.

In 2012, she was the Renfrew County Queen of the Furrow and was very involved in planning for the next year’s event.

“She is a shining example to other young people with her strong sense of integrity, hard work, dedication to completion of whatever task she is involved with at any given time, enthusiasm, and mature outlook,” said Dick.

She is currently enrolled in the University of Ottawa Health Science program and was on the dean’s list for the past two years in the Radiation Technology courses at Algonquin College.

“Thank you for recognizing what I do; I don’t do what I do for recognition, [but] it is nice to get it,” Crogie said. “Thank you and Happy Canada Day!”

Road rehab major focus in Admaston/ Bromley budget

Horsing around Canada Day celebrations were held in Douglas at St. Michael’s School on July 1.

Tiffany Lepack tlepack@metroland.com

The Township of Admaston/Bromley approved its 2017 budget on July 6 with a 7.5 per cent municipal levy increase.

The 2017 budget is $3,263,700 or an increase of $133,555 from last year.

The revenues for the township break down as follows: $1,908,000 from the municipal levy; $673,239 from provincial grants; $246,827 from user fees and service charges; $220,608 from federal grants; borrowing $200,000 and payments in lieu are $15,025.

Residents will see an average assessment increase in 2017 of 4.1 per cent.

Mayor Michael Donohue said he was very satisfied and that council worked very diligently in six budget meetings to arrive at these numbers.

“Given the economic climate, I am satisfied,” said Donohue.

“An underlining concern is the infrastructure gap that is very well understood at the municipal level, which has been struggling for sometime.”

The police budget has also increased five per cent from last year and the township will pay the Ontario Provincial Police $405,320 for 2017. Donohue praises their local police officers, but does admit the costs have risen the last three years with the new funding formula.

“Our issue with police costs is with the province and is independent from the services we receive from our very capable and professional police services,” said Donohue. “Our concern is with the provincial model.”

The formula is based partially on calls for service, which has decreased in the area.

“We have a very close knit and community-minded township and as a result we have a low crime rate that has mitigated some of the phase-in costs,” said Donohue. “The five per cent (increase) is not something to be excited about, but we have been the beneficiary of a low crime rate.”

The total fire budget for this year is $206,590; waste management total is $293,310 and the total recreation budget, which includes user agreements with a number of local municipalities is $38,300.

The 2017 roads budget is $1,604,686, a 7.98 per cent increase over the 2016 budget.

“Our roads budget is almost half of the budget, but we are still not keeping pace with the asset management plan,” said Donohue.

The biggest roads project this year is the resurfacing of Micksburg Road, as they will be applying a single high float surface treatment consisting of one application of HF150P polymer modified asphalt emulsion and one application of Class 6 aggregate.

The total cost of construction for the project is $256,539; with $120,000 from Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program and $136,539 from Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund.

There will also be work done this summer on Opeongo Road, Pucker Street, Dillabough Road and more.

“I am very happy to have increased the money we have allocated to rehabilitate our roads, we will need a lot more assistance from the provincial and federal governments,” said Donohue.

“We are going to have a busy construction season in Admaston/Bromley this year.”

STORE HOURS:

MONDAY TO THURSDAY 9:00 A.M. TO 5:30 P.M. FRIDAY 9:00 A.M. TO 7:00 P.M. SATURDAY 9:00 A.M. TO 5:00 P.M. SUNDAY 11:00 A.M. TO 4:00 P.M.

It was a busy morning for local emergency crews.

Members of the Horton Fire Department and officers from the Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police responded to a pickup truck on fire on Burnstown Road just outside of Renfrew Tuesday morning.

Emergency officials got the call around 9:30 a.m. July 4, said fire captain Ray Caillier.

“The fire had started under the hood and then spread to the whole vehicle,” he said. “It was fully involved by the time we got there.”

When it started, the lone male driver had pulled over and unhitched a trailer he had been pulling that had bags of soil loaded on it. He was not injured in the incident.

Firefighters doused the 1996 Chev pickup truck with a water/foam combination and had it under control fairly quickly, said Caillier.

About eight of Horton’s firefighters were on hand for about an hour-and-a-half.

OPP officers helped control traffic.

“They had to close off the road for a little bit while firefighters put out the fire - for their safety and for the safety of the people driving through the smoke,” said Caillier.

Burnstown lawyer found guilty of misconduct A lawyer from Burnstown was found by the Law Society Tribunal of Ontario to have committed professional misconduct.

Christopher Paul Merla did not cooperate with a law society investigation by failing to reply promptly and completely to communications from the complaints resolution department. It occurred between July 2016 and February 2017. The panel’s decision was made public on June 16.

Merla was suspended on that date for one month. It will continue indefinitely until he has provided a complete response to the complaints department’s requests. He is expected to follow the law society’s guidelines for suspended lawyers. And he must pay a $2,000 fine by this Aug. 26.

He is to pay the law society just over $2,100 by next May. If Merla, by July 26, has not provided a complete response to the law society, he’ll be fined an additional $2,000.

Metroland Media could not reach Merla for comment.

Break-in at Burnstown Beach canteen Officers from the Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police are investigating after the canteen at the Burnstown Beach on Calabogie Road was broken into sometime between Tuesday, June 27 around noon and Wednesday, June 28 at 6 p.m. The canteen was entered by breaking a screen and window. Three boxes of large size freezies and a quantity of juice boxes were stolen. Const.

Marc Bennett is investigating.

The Renfrew detachment investigated 276 calls for service during the past week.

Domestic violence Arnprior and Renfrew officers investigated 10 domestic disputes during the last week of June. One male was charged with two counts each of sexual assault, uttering threats, forcible confinement and domestic mischief; one female was charged with assault; one male was charged with uttering threats, two counts of domestic mischief, possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, and possession of marijuana; and one male was charged with domestic mischief. No other criminal offences took place.

Arnprior and Renfrew officers investigated 11 domestic disputes during the past week. One male was charged with assault, one male was charged with uttering threats, two counts of domestic mischief, possession of stolen property and possession of marijuana, one female was charged with assault and one male was charged with break and enter, domestic mischief and two counts of breach of a recognizance. No other criminal offences took place.

Animal complaints Pet owners are reminded they should not be bringing animals out with them, only to lock them in a hot car while they go shopping. Temperatures inside vehicles rise very quickly and animals to not have the same ability as humans do to sweat and cool off. Criminal charges can be laid for causing unnecessary suffering to an animal.

Leaving windows slightly open is not sufficient to cool the interior of a vehicle. Pet owners should leave their pets at home in the summer if they cannot supervise them. If you see a pet in a vehicle you believe is in distress call the OSPCA at 310-SPCA. For more information visit the SPCA’s www.nohotpets.ca Impaired driver One male is facing charges after police investigated a single vehicle collision on Hwy. 17 at Goshen Road in the Township of McNab/Braeside. Police responded to the incident on Friday June 30 at approximately 10:55 p.m. The male driver was arrested after failing a roadside alcohol screening device. Following further breath tests at the detachment a 50-year-old man from Johnstown, Ont. was charged with impaired driving and driving over 80mgs. He was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew on August 2. Const. Carlvin Burgins investigated.

Lock it or Lose it Renfrew and Arnprior OPP officers continue to investigate numerous thefts from unlocked vehicles. This crime is easily prevented - by locking your vehicle. Even more importantly please remove valuables from your vehicle when it is unattended.

Stolen property included wallets, loose change and tools.

Mischief Four soccer nets and a sign were damaged at St Joseph’s Catholic School in Calabogie overnight on June 29. The soccer field was used in the evening on Wednesday, June 28 so the damage occurred sometime after that.

Thefts On Sunday, July 2 PC Shikatani received a report that unknown person(s) had stolen a 14’ fishing boat from the landing on Burn’s Lake, sometime after Jan. 10. The owner advised he stored his boat at the boat landing on Burns Lake in the Township of Greater Madawaska. The 14’ Legend aluminum fishing boat was secured to a large tree with a cable and a lock. The lock and cable were taken from the scene. An old set of oars, which were with the boat, were also taken.

MP should sit as independent It must be a sign of the Conservative Party of Canada’s tolerance for dissent, of its big tent embrace of various opinions that accounts for keeping Cheryl Gallant on board. Her countless gaffes are legendary. Her vicious us-versus-them worldview is considered over the top by even the most loyal party members. The party is truly broad-minded, even insanely reasonable to keep one of the least respected MPs on Parliament Hill in its fold.

But that doesn’t explain why she stays with the party. Why would she stay with a group of MPs who voted with the Liberal government on backing the Paris Accord on climate change?

Every single one of the Tories voted recently to reaffirm Canada’s commitment to Paris. As did all the Liberals. And all the NDP. And everyone else on the hill - except the MP for RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke, Cheryl Gallant.

It’s as if the us-versus-them has morphed into a her-versus-the world.

Paris lays out commitments for nations to limit their greenhouse-gas emissions and contain the impact of global warming. For many years the career politician has cast doubt on the science showing the effects of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Ditto that humans are influencing the phenomenon. So the idea of doing something about it - reducing fossil fuel consumption - she finds appalling. Stop giving massive tax breaks to Big Oil? Fund green alternatives that create green jobs? Nope.

Gallant made it plain in a recent “Report from Parliament” that her party is, when it comes to the Paris Accord, no better than the Liberals. Forget that her party, when in government in 2015, helped negotiate the Paris Accord.

Forget that she said nary a word against it then.

Gallant’s June 2017 report makes it quite clear that every member in the House of Commons – except her – now wants to take more money through “the Paris carbon tax Accord” to hurt working people in her riding.

The motion she voted against and, again, every member of her party voted for, “was nothing more than cheap partisan politics at the expense of jobs, the economy, and a clean environment.”

So Conservatives are for unemployment and a dirty world? Well - not MP Gallant!

“I refuse to allow the taxpayers of RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke to be used as props in that staged tragedy,” she wrote. “The Paris carbon tax accord is behind liberal (sic) carbon tax policy to shift money out of your pocket into the pocket of big business and big government.”

It is baffling how Gallant - the sole MP to vote against taking money from her taxpaying constituents to squander on corporate welfare and too many public servants (including military?) - can stay with the Conservative party. She must be even more tolerant than they.

At some point one would think her tolerance must give way to her principles. She is no hyperpartisan blowhard. No. She has genuine integrity. And one day she will prove it.

Safe sidewalks should Referendum appropriate for pool issue take priority over pool To the editor:

To the editor:

I belong to the ever-growing group of seniors who require walkers in order to obtain the exercise recommended for our various complaints.

Walking is no hardship to me because I have always enjoyed it, but - have you seen the state of our sidewalks recently? I take my life in my hands when I try to navigate cracks and gaping holes.

It is so dangerous in some places that it is easier to walk in the road, but no safer.

Recently there has been some dis-

cussion at the municipal level about the installation of a swimming pool in our town. While I freely admit that a swimming pool would be a great asset and would go a long way towards promoting physical activity in our residents, the question arises, if we cannot afford to make sidewalks safe for pedestrians, how can we afford to install a swimming pool? Our municipal taxes are already high and would jump alarmingly if this pipe dream becomes a reality.

A new visitation by new people to inflict new taxes on the peons.

Although a noble adventure, the pool, the costs and potential overruns do not justify the new infrastructure.

A non-rising tax base and an expenditure inflicted upon the surviving paying people does not excite a favorable outcome.

If the people want a large welfare state they should feel the financial burden of financing it with tax dollars themselves.

Thus, myself, not in the jurisdiction of Renfrew proper,

if the voters wish this large burden, they themselves should take up the task. If they do, good fortune to them and their enclave.

Do not burden us, the periphery to meet your burden to have this largess.

My guess would be that a need for a referendum by the good people of Renfrew to dispose of this nuisance once and for all would seem appropriate.

Best wishes to you all, but do not ask us the other taxpayers to assist in your downfall and debt.

Marcel Oostendarp, Renfrew

Welcome to Renfrew County, bluegrass fans.

The 23rd annual Valley Bluegrass Festival is set for July 13 to July 16, and if the weather cooperates, the event will bring in approximately 3,000 people.

The event is organized by four local couples: Darrell and Carole Mooney, Bob and Julie Johnston, Kevin and Shelly White, and Arnold and Barb Dickson.

“I think people should just come and check it out with the real good, hometown hospitality,” says Darrell Mooney.

Mooney says the festival is a huge stimulus to the local economy and encourages everyone to come out.

“I would hope to see a real nice influx of local people, because the money raised goes back into the community,” he says. “They leave a lot of money at local establishments. Some arrive on Sunday and stay until the next Sunday, and they drive back and forth into town, and it helps the local economy just as much as the money we raise.”

Over the years, he estimates they have raised close to $150,000 for the Renfrew Victoria Hospital and Hospice Renfrew.

The event takes place at Johnston’s Farm at 408 Castleford Rd., and he expects they will have more than 500 campers for the length of the festival.

“Over the years, we’ve had people from all over North America — from San Francisco to Newfoundland to Florida to Saskatchewan,”

says Mooney.

He encourages people to get out and interact with everyone.

“Come and see it, walk around and talk to people,” says Mooney. “People come and tell me they have never been treated so well. Just come out and meet the people.”

Mooney says it is hard to pick a favourite, because all of the acts are so good. But, when pressed, he says the Spinney Brothers from Nova Scotia — who will be playing on Saturday and Sunday — are up on the list.

“They are really traditional bluegrass, and their harmonies and stage presence are so good.

They are great,” says Mooney.

The acts hail from deep southern parts of the United States to the East Coast and in between.

One of the locals hitting the stage is the Dick Smith and Mike O’Reilly Band.

“Mike is from Ottawa and he has been with us since day one. He is very knowledgeable and has helped us along,” says Mooney.

Bluegrass music features fiddle, banjo, guitar and mandolin.

“I like it because its so traditional. It’s pretty much the same as Irish music,” says Mooney. “I just love the instruments.”

The gates open on Thursday, July 13 at noon, with an organized open stage starting at 7 p.m.

On Friday, July 14, the music runs from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m.; on Saturday, July 15, the stage runs from noon to 10:30 p.m.; and on Sunday, July 16, the festival finishes off from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

New wave of funding available to flood victims Amounts per household will vary, depending on each family’s unique situation, says Canadian Red Cross The Canadian Red Cross has announced a second wave of funding for those affected by the historic spring floods.

In May the Canadian Red Cross announced $4 million of direct financial assistance to help those who have been hit hardest by the recent flooding in Ontario and Quebec.

For the first wave of funding, eligible registered households received $600 to help purchase what they urgently needed.

“There was a good response to the first wave (in Renfrew County) but we are certainly looking for people who haven’t registered to let them know they can still register,” said James Sedgewick, disaster management liaison officer for Renfrew County.

Sedgewick explains the first wave of funding was for basic and immediate needs and this wave is different.

“For the second wave of funding they will have a needs assessment based on an interview with a Red

Cross case worker, based on individual needs, so the amount will vary with certain eligibility criteria,” said Sedgewick.

The press release notes: there are a number of criteria to determine how much financial assistance each registered household is eligible to receive.

Amounts per household will vary, depending on each family’s unique situation.

In order for households to be eligible for this second phase of financial assistance, they must already be registered with the Red Cross, and must already be validated as a floodimpacted household.

He notes this second wave of funding, like the first, is for primary residences.

“Phase 2 is for those who are particularly vulnerable and severely affected by the floods and are unable to return home with major damage to the home,” said Sedgewick.

“Its important people take advan-

County council designates Algonquin Trail multi-use On June 28, County of Renfrew Council passed a motion recommending that the 219 km Algonquin Trail portion of the Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail (OVRT) be designated as multi-use, which includes all methods of self-propelled transportation, as well as horseback riding, snowmobiles, ATVs and side-by-sides as defined by the Off-Road Vehicles Act, O. Reg 316/03, s. 1, as amended.

The motion includes a provision that the county would consider bypass/twinning alternatives presented by local municipalities that are prepared to support and fund them. This motion follows the original intent of the use of the corridor and provides direction on the future use of the Algonquin Trail within the Management Plan.

Partnering with Lanark County and Papineau-Cameron Township, the 296 km OVRT corridor stretches from Smiths Falls to Mattawa. Renfrew County hosted six public open houses in the fall of 2016, many comments were received about motorized versus non-motorized use of the trail.

With the passing of this motion the County of Renfrew joins its partner municipalities who have also declared their sections to be multi-use.

Branch trails or bypasses could be designed to encourage specific use (e.g. motorized) and would consequently enable some sections of the main trail to become non-motorized while still offering a continuous motorized trail.

The trail corridor passes through 10 municipalities within the county and the City of Pembroke, and will form the “spine” of a future county-wide trail network as contemplated in the County of Renfrew Trails Strategy.

Chair of the Algonquin Trail Advisory Committee and the Development & Property Committee, Coun.

Bob Sweet states: “The county council resolution enables the county to move forward with the creation of a management plan and also allows the local municipalities to explore options for use in their jurisdiction.”

Warden of the County of Renfrew, Jennifer Murphy expresses, “This is a great milestone to see sections of the Algonquin Trail being open for the public to enjoy this fall.”

The County of Renfrew, along with its partners, has engaged the Ontario Trails Council (OTC) for the creation of a management plan for the entire trail. The OTC will be reviewing all public comments supplied through the open houses, emails and phone conversations. The completion date for the management plan is August 31, 2017.

The County of Renfrew will be working on a number of sections of the Algonquin Trail (Petawawa, Renfrew and Arnprior and with proceeds from the Zombie Run a portion of the trial in Pembroke) throughout the summer and fall to make the necessary improvements to start opening the trail to the public.

tage of assistance through insurance, Disaster Recovery Assistance, the Red Cross or other agencies. We want them to register with their needs so we can possibly assist them.”

An appeal went out in early May and close to $7 million was raised.

“I think Canadians have been very generous with donations and munici-

palities around Renfrew County have been great partners,” said Sedgewick.

“Everyone is trying to help those who are impacted and should take advantage of the assistance.”

Eligibility will be based on municipally assessed property values of flood-impacted residences, according to the release from the Red Cross.

In Ontario, properties valued at $500,000 and lower will be eligible.

Properties valued higher than the maximum value do not qualify for further assistance.

If impacted households have not registered with the Red Cross, they can still register online at redcross.ca/ gethelp or by calling 1-800-863-6582.

OPG IS CONDUCTING RESEARCH ON THE OTTAWA RIVER TO PROTECT ONTARIO’S BIODIVERSITY. Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is conducting research in the vicinity of its hydroelectric generating stations on the Ottawa River. This research, which is being carried out by Kleinschmidt Associates and Bowfin Environmental Consulting, is in support of OPG’s ongoing American eel and lake sturgeon mitigation studies for these species at risk.

Kleinschmidt and Bowfin boats may be in close proximity to the shoreline as they complete day- and nighttime fish abundance studies and shoreline inspections. This annual research is conducted under permits from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry and in accordance with O. Reg. 242/08 (as amended by O. Reg. 176/13), under the Ontario Endangered Species Act. Work will continue until the end of September.

It could have been Renfrew’s main street. Or his hometown of Pembroke.

Wherever he goes in the county, the little guy in a big fedora — Hector Clouthier — meets up with people he knows. And if he doesn’t know them, he introduces himself.

While on that street corner in Arnprior, the area’s MP from 1997 to 2000, acknowledges everyone who went by, from the little girl with her cheek sporting a press-on Canada flag tattoo — “I’ve got a flag, too, here on my lapel. I love that flag” — to a woman with an empty picture frame — “You should put a picture of yourself in there. It would be beautiful.”

Most he knew. The furniture owner retiring after many decades. He would talk as long as they wanted, overpraising them and underpraising himself, at ease talking politics and marathons, horse racing and hockey.

He’s the consummate backslapping politician, going back to his first campaign as an independent in 1988 along with several since. It is a stark contrast to his longtime nemesis, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant. A lengthy story in his recently published autobiography, Give ’Em Hec!, illustrates the point.

I’d like to be remembered as someone who always told the truth, come hell or high water. Some would like it, some didn’t.

Hector Clouthier

It was soon after the bitterly contested election of 2000 and begins with Clouthier meeting up with Gallant in the Tim Hortons on Daniel Street in Arnprior. According to the autobiography, the two acknowledged one another before she retrieved her order and left. He worked the room for 20 minutes or more then left for the parking lot. His assistant was waiting in his car the entire time. She said Gallant was in her van, still in the parking lot. It was curious, but didn’t stop him from backing out of his space.

“Gallant’s vehicle storms out of its spot and comes dangerously close to clipping my back end as I reversed,” reads the book. “I couldn’t believe it.”

The now legendry story is described in great detail as the two vehicles make their way toward Renfrew. He claims Gallant drove dangerously, entering the passing lane at one point only to

slow down and force others to pass from the outside lane; until Clouthier’s approached wherein she cut him off. Her daughters, also on board, were waving their middle fingers at him, he wrote.

“By now we were approaching the traffic lights at the Renfrew turnoff at Bruce Street. Mrs. Gallant had slowed down dramatically, almost as if she wanted to arrive on the red signal,” he wrote. When it turned green again, “on the shoulder of the road, there’s an OPP officer, weapon drawn, and he’s waving me in.”

Gallant had phoned police saying she was being pursued by a car matching Clouthier’s description.

Nothing more came of the incident, which got a lot of play in local Derek Dunn/Metroland newspapers at the time. If it wasn’t for Hector Clouthier will be signing copies of his autobiography at A sense of Country, 169 Raglan St. in Renhis witness, his assistant, Clouthier is convinced Gallant would have had frew on Saturday, July 15, from 12 to 3 p.m. him jailed. Instead he has had to live with many thinking less of him; the term “stalker” still haunts him.

“I’m a guy that’s been called a lot of things by a lot of people and maybe some of it’s right. But that stuff crossed the line and hurt, a lot. It was done with intent, which made it even FRIDAY, JULY 7, 2017 AT 6:00 PM worse,” he wrote.

48 Raglan St. S., RenfRew, On

Though July 5 was a lovely, sunny day, the lure of a challenging game of bridge still attracted nine-and-a-half tables of Renfrew Bridge Club players for the afternoon’s contest.

The day’s competition got off to a rocky start when the club’s computer misbehaved.

This meant that the electronic scorers for each table didn’t function and so all the results had to be recorded manually.

Many thanks to the club’s director, David Sulpher, who after sorting out the computer’s issues was obliged to input all the individual results by hand.

Though slams were certainly not plentiful, Board 12 was a very happy place to be for the North-South players, as five pairs managed to score a slam.

While on Board 24, Ted Ambridge was the only one to conjure up a heart slam; well done!

Congratulations to the July 5 winners: North — South: 1: Anna McCallum — Ruth Wilson 2: Ernie Berndt — Eric Brown 3: Carol Sulpher — David Sulpher East — West: 1: Ted Ambridge — Mike Nagrodski 2: Bette Rowe — Yolande Baillon 3: George Caldwell — Suzanne Caldwell

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, July 13, 2017 15

Renfrew Collegiate alumni honoured at Waterloo and Queen’s Two Renfrew Collegiate Institute (RCI) alumni, T.C. Fraser and Courtney Miller, have finished at the top of their class.

Fraser recently graduated from the University of Waterloo receiving his bachelor of science degree (majoring in mathematical physics, co-op astrophysics specialization).

At convocation, Fraser was awarded the Governor General’s Silver Medal, which is awarded to three students graduating from a bachelor’s program with the highest academic standing.

Fraser graduated with the highest academic average of all Waterloo science and math students for 2017 with an academic average of 97.5 per cent.

In August, Fraser will begin a masters degree at Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, highly regarded as the most competitive and prestigious masters program in the world.

Fraser gives a lot of credit to RCI teachers Trevor Rosine, Ed Oegema, and Darren Matthews for their support and encouragement during his formative years.

Fraser says that he hopes that these three teachers “feel directly responsible for this award and that all of my successes are also (theirs).

Without (them), none of my accomplishments would be possible.”

While at RCI, Fraser was a well-

rounded student having participated in cross country, basketball (2010 EOSSAA Champion and OFSAA Participant), and track & field (2010 National Bronze Medal in Discus).

Fraser graduated from RCI as the Governor General’s Medallion winner and graduated with his Specialist High Skills Major red seal in the energy sector.

Courtney Miller, RCI Graduating Class of 2013, graduated with distinction from Queen’s University this spring with a bachelor of science (honours) with a major in biochemistry and a minor in math.

Courtney Miller At commencement, Courtney was awarded the Craine Professor Scholarship Award for being the top student majoring in iochemistry.

Miller graduates with a cumulative GPA of 3.97 on a 4.3 scale.

In the future Miller hopes to study pharmacy.

Miller recognizes teachers Connie Matthews, Darren Matthews, and Craig Beattie (now at Opeongo) for being influential during her high school career.

At RCI, Courtney played in the school band, played basketball and volleyball and was a part of RCI’s volunteer mission to Kenya in March 2012.

She graduated from RCI as a Renfrew County Medallion winner.

Congratulations to Sheri Wren, Paul Wren, Robert Lemenchick and Rocky Lemenchick, who won the right to represent Renfrew Golf Club in the regional round of the RBC/ PGA of Canada Scramble, presented by the Lincoln Motor Company.

The RBC/PGA Scramble was open to all area golfers, and we even had a team from Camelot participate. If Sheri, Paul, Bob, Rocky, and now Kevin Sebulski as well, make it through regionals (at either Vallee Richelieu or King Valley), they advance to the Canadian finals in Cabot Links from Oct. 12 to Oct. 14.

Regional winners receive an allexpenses-paid trip with round-trip airfare to Halifax, transportation to Cabot Links, three rounds of golf at Cabot Links (twice) and Cabot Cliffs (once), four nights’ accommodation at Cabot Links, breakfasts, lunches, welcome dinner and awards gala dinner. The package is valued at approximately $3,000 per player.

Congratulations to Mary Jo Wert-

wyn, Cheryl Campbell and Lesley Murray, who won A, B and C flights, respectively, in Sunday’s Aikenhead’s Ladies Qualifier No. 3. In A flight, MJ’s 81 was three better than Marg Agnew, and six better than Lisa Smith and Anne MacNeil. In B flight, Cheryl won by two over Marion Graham with Alexa Legris third. And in C flight, Lesley won by four over JoAnne Brown with Barb Westgarth third. Ladies play on Tuesday saw Marsha Hale winning A flight over Kim McDonald and Lisa Smith.

Cheryl Campbell won B flight by a point over both Kathy McAlister and Esther Hladkowicz. And in C flight, Elle Vidler made it two weeks in a row with Jo-Anne Brown second.

And from our men’s day on Thursday, Larry Vice was the big winner in A flight, winning by a mere half-point over Hessel Vandervelde, who was a half-point ahead of both Rob Warren and Kip Mulvihill. Phil Marcella pulled out a victory in B flight, again only winning by a half-point over Dave Gallagher, with Peter Barnes and Jim Vandewouw only a half-point

behind Dave.

Jim Deslaurier was the victor in C flight, again with a half-point win over Terry Mosco with Elio Domenicucci third. And the John David/Bill Butson show in Super Senior continued again this week, with John taking first, followed by Bill, with Beatty Gould in third. Our men’s rec league finished their two weeks on Monday with Rowat Insurance winning A flight by only a point over Team Corona. Schwartz Drywall has finally made the climb from D to A flight by winning B by one stroke over Yemen Electric. Both OPG and Finnigan’s will be moving up to B flight after finishing one, two in C flight; and both Yolkowskie Construction and Bushwackers tied for first in D flight, and will spend at least the next two weeks in C. And last, but certainly not least, congratulations to Dustin Zohr who fired a hole-in-one on the 14th hole during men’s rec league play on Monday. Dustin aced the 14th hole and was witnessed by most of his Publican House team mates … the ones who could see that far, that is.

Renfrew golfer earns PGA membership Tiffany Lepack tlepack@metroland.com

Chris McClure has a drive like no other.

He grew up with the 14th hole in his backyard and hasn’t stopped putting for perfection since.

In early June he passed his playing ability test to become a member with the Professional Golfers Association of Canada (PGA).

There are different levels in the PGA of Canada, including playing/ teaching/head and assistant pro.

His next goal is to earn his Class A professional status. He is now completing his apprenticeship with the association and has to log 3,000 hours in industry-related work.

The 21-year-old works at Dragonfly Golf Links in the pro-shop and teaches at the golf camps.

On July 5 he was out with a young group of students teaching them the finer points of putting.

He pulled out a ruler and had the youths try to putt a golf ball on it into the hole, encouraging them along the way and telling them this was the best putting drill.

“I want to teach for a living,” said McClure.

“I want to open a teaching academy ... for now I want to move up in the industry.”

Bill Rainboth, general manager, Dragonfly Golf Links, obtained his PGA of Canada Class A head pro status 16 years ago and calls what McClure went through the most stressful stage.

“Knowing you have the game is one thing, but when an expensive entry fee is on the line and being able to come through with flying colours is a real achievement,” said Rainboth. “He knocked it out of the park.”

McClure works at Dragonfly in the pro-shop and teaches.

“He is dedicated, hard-working, well-organized and he has a lot of youthful enthusiasm for the game,” said Rainboth.

“Teaching is his passion and he loves to help people get better.”

There were five applicants in the playing ability test at Greyhawk Golf Club in Ottawa on June 17 and 18 and McClure qualified with the lowest score of two under.

“There is no prize for that, it just means he is in,” said Rainboth.

To become a member he had to shoot nine over par and was excited to pass.

“It was a good first day, with perfect weather and I was one under,” said McClure.

Things didn’t start out so well for him.

“It was a stressful start, I was three over par on the first four holes,” said McClure, who went on to birdie the fifth and six holes. “Then I was just fine and my nerves calmed down.”

He says the second was the best round of his life considering how bad the conditions were. McClure calls the second round crazy.

“It was very rainy and windy, eventually the rain stopped and it was very windy,” said McClure. “The wind moved my ball on the green that’s how windy it was.”

McClure grew up in Renfrew and when he was 12 he moved in with his grandparents, whose house is next to the 14th green on the Dragonfly golf course.

“I started golfing that summer with my cousin Jonah O’Connor,” said McClure. “We grew up hitting balls on the 14th green terrorizing the course. The head pro at the time, Kevin Brown, told us to start golfing in the camps

and that’s how I got into it.”

He says he loves the friendly atmosphere at Dragonfly.

Over the years he has worked at a number of local clubs in 2011 and 2012 he started out at Dragonfly working in maintenance and the back shop; 2013 at Renfrew Golf Club in the back and pro-shop; 2014 and 2015 he was at Whitetail Golf Club and came back to Dragonfly last summer.

McClure also recently completed the three-year professional golf management course at Humber College.

He still lives right on the course with his grandparents, Terry Bilson and Adrianna McClure, who don’t play golf but love the property and built their house in 2007.

“They were always willing to sacrifice to drive me to events and always provided support when those events didn’t go well,” said McClure. “They were very supporting and I am very thankful for their support.”

Renfrew Collegiate Institute toasts Class of 2017 Sherry Haaima sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Renfrew Collegiate Institute hosted its 111th annual commencement exercises on Thursday, June 29 at the school.

Taylor Virgin, who also received the Governor General’s Medallion, was valedictorian.

She outlined some of the many accomplishments of the group of graduates.

“As a class, we’ve already made our marks on the school, the town, the country, and even the world. We are the proud owners of three OFSAA snowboarding medals and this year, for the first time in franchise history, we helped the varsity girls hockey team make the playoffs. We’ve acted our way to the Sears Drama Festival regionals where we’ve won numerous awards, and our band has made two trips to New York to showcase the talent found in our school,” said Virgin. “We’ve assisted in shaping the future of RCI by creating new clubs, like Dungeons and Dragons, and we’ve kept up a tradition of excellence with our continued involvement in others, like Interact, which raised almost $3,000 for local and global charities this year. In Grade 10, we became the first group to win Eastern Ontario Zone Champions in the Cayley contest, and en douzième année, 22 membres de notre classe sont devenus bilingues après la réussitee le DELF. We’ve helped increase the total amount raised through Relay for Life by $278,000 and we’ve renovated a school in Tanzania.”

She went on to thank parents, family members, teachers, and school staff for the support over the years.

And she wished her peers well.

“When we walk out those doors tonight, an important stage of our lives is over. It doesn’t matter if you plan to step back through them in September as a fifth-year, or march out into the world to start a job or post-secondary education — things are going to be dif-

And, now, we’re equipped with all of these experiences and ready to take on what the world has to offer,” said Virgin.

Dragonfly Golf Links enjoys a few perfect weather nights DRAGONFLY GOLF LINKS

Once the bad weather from the weekend had washed away, Dragonfly enjoyed four perfect nights for our leagues.

Monday league began with Team Renfrew Pizzeria slicing up the competition with the lowest gross and net scores of the night.

Billy Karras had closest to the pin on #5, and Jason English was closest on #7.

On Tuesday the team from Renfrew Victoria Hospital was “victori-ous” in their quest to take A flight.

Riding a “hot hand” were the Yolkowskie Hackers who took B flight for the second week in a row.

Closest-to-the-pin winners were Rheal Gilbert on #13, and Andrew Ritchie on #18.

On Wednesday we had new A flight winners as the team from Apollo Property Management won the tiebreaker over the Abandoned Cubs.

Also breaking through for their first win of the season was Deslaurier Custom Cabinets,

tying the lowest net score of the week to take B flight. Closest-to-the-pin winners were Greg MacKenzie on #5, and Braeden Cameron on #18.

Ladies night played a challenging format this past Thursday.

One team that was up for the challenge were the Happy Campers with the best score in A flight.

The Top Tees were the B flight champs and there was a three-way tie for the best score in C flight with The Tee Time Girls winning the tiebreaker.

Submitted Closest-to-the-pin winners were Alynne July 10, the Dragonfly Men’s Intersectional Team Miller on #5, Delaine Collin on #7, Gail Rousselle on #13, and Debra McFarlane on competed at the Petawawa Golf Club.

It is with a heavy heart that I am writing this article to inform you that Meagan’s Massage Therapy will be closing.

My husband has been offered and has now accepted a job in Southwestern Ontario, close to where our families reside. We will be moving in the near future, as the new position commences on July 24th. My last working day will be Monday July 17th. I sincerely apologize for the inability to give you more notice.

I believe that all things happen for a reason, and it was truly a blessing that my husband and I accidentally stumbled across Renfrew 10 years ago and chose to call it home. This town has been such a wonderful place, always warm, welcoming and accepting. It has been a lovely place to start a family and begin to raise our boys. We will never forget this!

I wish to say a huge thank you to all my clients. You are all the reason I love being a massage therapist! Many of you have followed me to two alternative locations and waited for me to return after maternity leaves. I have spent little on advertising, as word of mouth has been the most valuable. I am extremely grateful for your continued support and allowing me to treat you. I can only hope that our paths will cross again in the future.

St. Joseph’s Catholic High School marks commencement Tiffany Lepack tlepack@metroland.com

Seventy-seven graduates opened a new door last week, but they will never forget: ‘Once a Jaguar, always a Jaguar.’

St. Joseph’s Catholic High School held its commencement ceremony on Thursday, June 27, at the school gym as grads walked across the stage to receive their diploma and numerous awards.

Valedictorian Cassandra Monk recalled that at prom she was nominated as the female most likely to take over the world, and with the recent 20th anniversary of Harry Potter she warned there would be some potter inspired anecdotes.

Each year defined the grads differently, she began.

“Many of us have been here for four, five, even six years. In Grade 8, it was an exciting, yet frightful event.

We jumped into this labyrinth we call school and got lost, acting like it was the changing stairways of Hogwarts.

Subconsciously, we separated ourselves into groups of same-minded friends. We divided, like the four main houses (Slytherin represent) and went on with our new high school lives.

“Grades 9-10 were the years of self exploration and learning. We ‘solemnly swore that we were up to no good.’

But it was these experiences and skills that we gained, which would help us form the next very important years of our adolescent lives.”

Next were some challenging years.

“Grade 11 was the year of questions. We had to ask ourselves ‘What are we going to do? And ‘Where do I see myself in the future?’ We had to start facing these Dementors head on,

and shine a light on them. And honestly speaking, it was terrifying.”

Finally Grade 12 and for some a fifth year.

“Our ‘spells’ and knowledge are now more powerful and will continue to grow. The attributes we have gained over the years define who we are immensely.

“But I would also like to give thanks to the many teachers and faculty of this school. They’ve managed our mischief since the start. Even when we thought we were destined for failure — in ourselves and in our grades. They helped us in many ways as they possibly could. Those early, early mornings and late afternoon teachings, when we needed the extra help.

“To us, through our student-teacher bond, some felt like a Professor Snape, a Mrs. McGonagall or even an Albus Dumbledore. They instilled into us through all these years of regular classes, extra lessons, sports teams, clubs, bands — and so much more — that if we have a strong enough faith, we can really accomplish anything.

“Even if it wasn’t our most favourite subjects, (and some for just the credit) we still made memories, with classmates and teachers, at least learning something about the class or ourselves.”

Most importantly Monk wanted to thank the parents.

“They are, the real heroes who don’t need any capes or wands. Family bonds are stronger than ever. If it weren’t for my parents and their guidance, I wouldn’t be the person who I am today. Even if we struggled financially, physically, or emotionally,” said Monk. “You sacrificed so much for us, and your selflessness does not

go under appreciated. I’m pretty sure many of you can easily remember our first day of school. (Like shoving us through a brick wall to catch a train.)

We were a little under three feet in cute little colourful clothes, with our princess or warrior backpacks and a smile and a few missing teeth.

“But now we’ve grown in the snap of a finger and will walk out of here closer to adulthood more than ever.”

Monk said they have all grown over the years and faced some hardships along the way.

“We’re no longer separated by groups or houses, though different we may all be. In the end, we came together to form a whole. To help one another in times of need or friendship. It is with our actions and deeds of what we do that will carry on for a lifetime. As Harry Potter once said: “Working hard is important. But there is something that matters even more, believing in yourself. Think of it this way, every great wizard in history has started out as nothing more than we are now, students. If they can do it, why not us?” asked Monk.

“Everyone in this room, especially you my fellow graduates, are the reason we were able to do what we can do best. And with it, we have earned ourselves the right to wear these caps and gowns tonight.

“So, let us take up the challenge together. And continue on with our journey from St. Joseph’s Catholic High School, to wherever it takes us.

And may we have the success we all dream of from within our hearts.”

St. Thomas the Apostle School celebrates Grade 7 graduates Connie Dick

St. Thomas the Apostle School’s Grade 7 class celebrated their graduation on June 27.

The graduates were supported by a large crowd of staff members, peers and extended family and friends. Father Kerry Brennan bestowed a blessing on the graduates.

Our trustee, Anne Haley congratulated them on their dedication and leadership.

The valedictorian was Lily Brown. Lily was thankful to all staff members for supporting them and putting up with them during the years!

The Class of 2017 was a very cohesive group of academically strong students, who were friendly, supportive and true team members!

Of the 27 graduates, 17 were on the honour roll with averages exceeding 80 per cent.

As well students were recognized for their hard work, perseverance, citizenship and Christian values. The graduates have been fabulous role models and the staff and students of STA have looked up to them and appreciated their positive leadership!

Grade 7 teacher Emily Russett shared many comments with her students. In the fall she said they seemed really great.

As the year progressed, she said they were incredible! The pride that families

are feeling tonight is well-placed, she said.

Russett said that she loved her job and loved going in to work each day, and the students made it wonderful for her!

In closing she shared three things she has shared with them before: “I adore you: your warmth, hospitality and good humour that you share with the staff and students of STA. It is wonderful.”

“I hope you find a passion or a job that brings you the level of joy and happiness that my job brings me.”

“If you don’t know them! Learn your math facts! Congratulations everyone!”

GOULET FUNERAL HOME

Postma

Fern stevenson

March 1, 1932 – June 28, 2017 After a 10 year valiant battle with Alzheimer’s, our darling wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother was liberated from the prison of her sickness and transported by an angel to paradise to be with her Saviour and Lord waiting for the resurrection.

Fern was loved, cherished, respected, and enjoyed by our two children and their spouses, our 9 grandchildren, and 7 great grandchildren plus the extended family who loved her dearly.

Fernie was a free spirit. She was full of music. My young brother Kees gave her a harmonica some years ago. She mastered it even learning to play the classics. She was fun to be with. She had infectious laughter. She was exuberant and joyful, did not have a pious fiber in her being. She was totally honest and forthright, her deep navy blue eyes were like pools of mystery.

My entire being loved her.

Our friends in Holland loved this “Dutch Speaking” Canadian. She stole the show at a huge farmers market with dozens of vendors shouting their wares, she picked up a mic and outdid them all, shouting “I am a Canadian farmer, my strawberries are the best” while the gathering crowd shouted their approval all while the carillon chimed and the Dixy band played and at the end everybody wanted to touch her and kiss and offered her a job.

My darling is now in a greater glory than the finite human mind can imagine. We miss her terribly! We are comforted she is free from the confines of her wheelchair, her sick body, her mental confusion.

Thank God she is free at last.

Internment was at 11:00 am July 2, Sandpoint Cemetery, 2 kms from where she was born and 2 kms from where we met in 1952. After the funeral a luncheon was served at the Bonnechere Manor.

Heartfelt thanks to the Bonnechere Manor family who cared for my Darling so lovingly. All of you have a special place in my heart!

SMITH, Ryan JaMeS (Sales Representative - Frito Lay) At the Kingston General Hospital while surrounded by loved ones on Tuesday, July 4th, 2017; Ryan James Smith of Smiths Falls passed away following a courageous journey through cancer at the age of 36. Dear son of Cathy Donnelly (Mike Schnob) and Brian Smith. Beloved husband and best friend of Krystal Goudie. Cherished and proud “Daddy” of Kahlan. Dear brother of Keith Smith and Michelle Schnob and uncle of Rowen, Jaxton and Arial. Lifelong best friend of Bradley Kiser. Dear son-in-law of Rachelle Goudie and Gordon Goudie and brother-in-law of Amber Goudie.

Also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins and countless friends. Relatives and friends are invited to share their memories of Ryan with his family during visitation at the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior on Saturday, July 15th from 12 p.m. until 2:45 p.m. A Service to honour Ryan will follow in the Pilon Family Chapel at 3 p.m. In memory of Ryan, please donate blood and/or sign your donor card.

Harry Roland Llewelyn C.D. 51 Sgt. RCAMC

In loving memory of my dear husband September 20, 1923 – July 12, 2016 A lonely tear and the saddest eyes, I have ever seen, you suddenly passed away. You were my love, you were my life. The day you left, my life went to. Now I exist from day to day. It is so sad, to walk this road alone, instead of side by side. You gave to me, through the years, such joy and happiness. You were so kind, loving and gentle, always gave a helping hand. It was the joy you gave me, when you were by my side. You left me such beautiful memories, I will treasure through the years. Now there is only sorrow and tears.

You joined the army in 1941. Shortly after you were posted overseas. In 1946 you were posted back to Canada to Camp Borden. In 1952 you were posted to Korea for 1 year. Through the years, you were posted to various locations in Canada including Whitehorse, Y.T. for 3 years.

Then came 3 years in Germany. This posting was different. I joined you over there.

We travelled when we could. Oh the places that we saw. The Leaning Tower, Vatican, and the Tower of London just to name a few. Your tour was finished and we were home again. There were more postings in Canada.

Then you left the military. You served your country well. Then came civilian life. They said it is too hard to adjust. But as you went to work each day, you adjusted well. You retired in 1988. We travelled some. Oh how we enjoyed our quiet time. You would get out our picture album, down memory lane we’d go. As you turned the pages, laughter would ring out. It seemed like we were there again. When I get our an album, as I turn the pages, there is no laughter. It’s not the same. With a heavy heart I close the book. I’ll try another day.

When my time has come at last, in your footsteps I will walk. I know when I’ve reached my journey’s end, I will see you standing there.

With a joyful cry, together again, you knew I’d follow you.

Oh how I miss you, Love you forever Olga

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, July 13, 2017 39

Mary and everyone else fully enjoyed Orangeman’s parade It didn’t matter a whit if you were an Irish Catholic, a German Lutheran, or someone from some other background, everyone for miles around went to the Orangeman’s parade on the 12th of July.

Father and the brothers were up at the crack of dawn to do the chores early, and Mother and Audrey were making the lunch to take into Renfrew long before I was out of bed. It would be the most exciting event since the parade several years ago.

Towns took turns in hosting the 12th of July, and that year it was Renfrew’s turn.

If you didn’t get into town early to park on the main street, you had to go to wherever you could find a spot, and you then ended up standing in the blazing sun under one of the awnings a very few stores had over their doorways.

And so that morning, we headed into Renfrew at a time when we would usually be just eating our breakfast.

Every ounce of me tingled with excitement.

There was nothing that thrilled me more than marching bands and crowds of people, and I could certainly be assured of both as we drove into town in the Model T, hoping we could make the 12.5 mile trip without a flat tire.

“Couldn’t be better,” Father said as he wheeled the car next to the curb right in front of HELP WANTED

the Chinese restaurant.

“When can we have the lunch?”

Emerson wanted to know. Mother just rolled her eyes in answer. He was treading on thin ice to begin with, as he fought Everett to sit next to the back window, which wasn’t a window at all, but rolled up curtains tied with narrow leather straps.

It seemed like hours had passed before we heard the bands coming onto the main street from the fair grounds, and I knew from remembering the last Orangeman’s Parade, that leading the bands and people walking down Raglan Street, would be King Billy on a white horse, dressed in white himself, with sashes and ribbons in bright orange.

I was fair tingling by the time we saw the white horse three blocks away, and you could hear the people clapping and cheering, as the Orangemen marched behind bands.

They too, were all dressed in white, with orange banners across their chests. I asked my sister Audrey why we couldn’t be in the parade too, and she said you had to be Irish, and pref-

HELP WANTED

erably a Catholic.

Well, there were the Briscoe’s and they certainly weren’t Catholic!

Audrey told me to hush up and listen to the bands MARY COOK soon to be in front of us, as we leaned against the Model T. And then we heard the clomp-clomp of hooves, and knew King Billy would soon appear.

And appear he did! Such splendour! Such vivid colours, and the plumed hat, which was obviously too big for him, covering his eyes, so that he had to toss his head back every few seconds to see where he was going and wave to the throngs of people.

And right behind King Billy was the Orangeman who was obviously just as important as King Billy himself.

He had a small drum attached to his waist somehow, but he was also blowing into the tiniest horn I had ever seen.

His white cap was rimmed with orange braid, and every so often he would take the horn and use it to push the cap back, and then he’d give the little drum a rap with the horn for good mea-

sure.

He didn’t look right to me, and it was Father’s comment, which told me why.

“He’s as drunk as a hoot-owl,” he said. “I don’t think he’ll make it as far as the swinging bridge.”

I lost count of the number of bands and the people walking behind, some children far younger than I was, dressed in full regalia for the day.

And right then I made up my mind that as soon as I was old enough I was going to become an Orangeman!

I couldn’t think of anything more exciting than walking in a parade dressed in white with an orange sash, and band music filling the air.

Even though my sister said you had to be Irish and preferably a Catholic, which I doubted, I decided if I had to give up the Lutheran Church, and my German heritage, so be it!

At that young age, I decided if that was the price of becoming an Orangeman, it was a price I was willing to pay!

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you may need to make some modifications to your strategy as a situation continues to evolve. Don’t be afraid of change, as it is necessary to get the job done.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, allow your plans for selfimprovement to take center stage, especially true if you have put them on the shelf for some time. Make yourself a priority.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, a possible breakthrough in your communication levels may open up a whole new world. This can only improve your relationships and help your career.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 It can be difficult to separate facts from the fiction, Taurus. However, you generally are a good lie detector.

Put your skills to use to determine if someone is stringing you along.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you don’t tend to be reckless, but even you can surprise others sometimes with your behavior. Let the tongues wag if it means stepping out of your comfort zone.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you’re very good at balancing the elements of your life.

This week may be especially challenging as many things come your way in rapid succession.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, some shocking information may find you reeling if you do not stay grounded. Although it comes as a surprise, with some processing you will be able to handle it.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, take others’ candor with a grain of salt. They might just be blowing off steam and they will appreciate having someone there who listens.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, others may seem sure about their actions even if you feel lost. Don’t put too much stock in it, as everyone copes with self-doubt from time to time.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, address a potentially mess situation before it gathers too much steam. Communication is all that’s needed to ensure cooler heads ultimately prevail.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you sometimes have a sarcastic sense of humor that makes you loved by some and disliked by others. Explain to the latter group that you mean no harm.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Some of your beliefs are nonnegotiable, Pisces. This can make for some rather heated conversations.

But you’re up to the challenge.
