Storm rips through region Melissa Bishop is joined by five teammates in London .

Heavy damage near Shamrock Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

– Page 52 –

Monday afternoonʼs storm played havoc with the Shamrock area. Jesse Billyard at 3650 Highway 132 just outside of Shamrock was home when the storm hit. Its force felled trees onto his driveway. “I had the door open. It was like a funnel of white smoke was coming down the driveway,” Billyard recalled. “It lasted for about 10 minutes,” he said of the storm. “It was scary.”

Billyard said his dog, Mistie, was outside the whole time. “I felt sorry for the dog. He was able to hide under the truck.” Across the road, a tree fell onto the roof of Tim Mulvihillʼs house. Mike Quilty, a neighbour from about a mile down the road, assisted Mulvihill with the removal of limbs from his front lawn. Quilty cut seven downed trees earlier. “Iʼve never seen anything like it,” he said.

The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police responded to 41 calls for service during the severe storm Monday. The majority of the calls related to trees blocking roadways and hydro wires down. The Township of Greater Madawaska was the hardest hit. In the Calabogie area, numerous roads were blocked, including Highways 508 and 511. Norway Lake Road was cleared by OPP and Ottawa

Police Service officers who were in the area, and local residents. About 40 large trees had fallen and blocked the road. Several cars were damaged due to falling trees, and a few minor injuries were reported. Admaston-Bromley Township roadways were also tree-covered with Whalen Road and Pucker Street needing to be cleared. Numerous false alarms were attended to by OPP officers due to the power outages as well.

Sarah Jones, above, and Heidi Oare, were vacationing at a cottage on Norway Lake when the storm hit Monday afternoon. They started driving away from the cottage in Heidi’s car, but it was hit by one of many trees that blew over in the area. Jones said she felt the caved-in roof with her head. In a terrifying couple of minutes, the two women fled back to the cottage, fortunately making it safely.

Monday’s storm ripped down hydro wires along Highway 132 near Shamrock. The roads with the most severe damage in Admaston-Bromley Township were Colton, Hass, Toms, Mhusk and Sammon.

Greater Madawaska hit hard Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Many of the hardest hit areas from MondayĘźs storm were parts of Greater Madawaska Township. “We estimate 50 to 60 poles are down in the affected areas, and a (hydro) line also,â€? GM mayor Peter Emon said Tuesday afternoon. There is also several trees down. He said most of the damage occurred on Highway 508 between the Norway Lake Road turnoff down to Mill Street in Calabogie, and at Ashdad and Pucker Street. “Hydro One is doing signiďŹ cant work to get power back on,â€? the mayor said. “Frankly, they have been great to work with.â€? Mayor Emon said by Tuesday afternoon, roads were passable in most areas. Exceptions were Upper Spruce Hedge and Byers roads while Hydro One still had to clear wires from brush. In some of the harder-hit areas of Hurds and Norway Lake, it could be up to a week before 2 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, July 26, 2012

power is restored. “The Norway Lake line has been decimated. ItĘźs pretty bad,â€? Mayor Emon said. People needing to dispose of trees and stumps can do so at 145 Flat Road. Also, the Norway Lake waste disposal site will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. today through Sunday for household waste. In accordance with the townshipĘźs Emergency Response Plans, the Calabogie Community Centre is open. The Red Cross Personal Disaster Assistance team and emergency response team representatives are there to answer questions and offer help in any way for township residents. Mayor Emon, and members of Council and Emergency Management personnel will also be available to answer questions from members of the public at the Calabogie Community Centre each day at 2 p.m. “We knew a storm was coming, but we didnĘźt know itĘźd be anything like this,â€? Mayor Emon said.

Watchorn stressed it is not the role of the response team to address emergency response, nor does it handle ďŹ nancial compensation. “The declaration of low water does not initiate any provincial or municipal ďŹ nancial assistance,â€? Watchorn said. Nor does the team carry any legislative authority. Only the province can enact and enforce conservation measures, through legislation. Watchorn underscored the importance of collecting and sharing data, as well as spreading the conservation message. “The more people who promote conservation, the better,â€? he said. He urged the distribution of MNR material on the drought stressing, “ThereĘźs no ownership; thereĘźs no copyright.â€? “ItĘźs not enough to say itĘźs bad,â€? said Watchorn. The severity of the situation must be proven and comparable to previous conditions. Watchorn said itĘźs important to know “where we were, where weĘźre at and have that continuumâ€?, and to have conservation strategies in place. “By far the most important element is the communication,â€? Watchorn said, noting that all committee members have equal opportunity for input. “ItĘźs important for us to hear whatĘźs going on.â€? Accurate information is foremost. “ItĘźs extremely critical for a water response team to have the rationale available to make their decision,â€? Watchorn said. The initial Level One alert was sounded July 9. That was when rainfall was less than 80 per cent of a running three-month average. Level Two kicked in when the region hit less than 60 per cent average and ow less than 50 per cent. Level Three would be declared if less than 40 per cent of the monthly average fell, and there was less than 30 per cent of stream ow. “Arriving at Level Three is a serious situation,â€? Watchorn said. Priority water-taking would be established. “There is no higher priority than drinking water,â€? he said. Sewage and power production follow closely, with further priorities set in context of local needs. Changes in level status are based on conditions, not timelines, so the committee will be prepared to meet as necessary. Last week the group had proposed meeting again today Thursday, July 26. The hot, dry, windy conditions also create high ďŹ re risk and people are urged to check for ďŹ re bans in their speciďŹ c municipality and exercise caution, especially throwing away ciga-

rette butts. Horton Mayor Don Eady, for example, approached the Renfrew Golf Club regarding a possible smoking ban on the course during this difďŹ cult time and management did do. Watchorn also explained the water consumption implications of the various levels. Level One calls for a voluntary 10 per cent reduction, as the community paces a potential supply challenge. At Level Two the voluntary reduction jumps to 20 per cent reduction as the potential of major supply problems exists. At this point municipalities can enact bylaw restrictions. Level Three is foreign territory as Ontario has never reached this status. “ItĘźs bad,â€? is how Watchorn explained the last level. He said this is when water supply fails to meet demand and you start to see impacts on such things as industry, municipal drinking water systems and municipal sewage treatment plants that donĘźt have enough water ow to dilute the efuent. “ItĘźs serious stuff,â€? Watchorn said. On July 13 the ďŹ rst meeting of the Renfrew District Water Response team was held and a phone line was set up at the County of Renfrew municipal building in Pembroke. “There is a tremendous spectrum of experience,â€? Watchorn said of the committee. Early feedback indicates the committee has been a valuable experience and “WeĘźre on the right track,â€? said Wacthorn. The group plans to meet weekly, or as necessary. “We knew it was not going to get better in the short term,â€? said Watchorn, noting how quickly conditions had changed, within just one week. “ItĘźs signiďŹ cant,â€? he said. Stream ow indicators are based at four Renfrew County locations: the Bonnechere Rver near Castleford, Madawaska River at Calabogie, Muskrat River near Pembroke and the Petawawa River. Renfrew County includes what Watchorn described as “chunks and pieces of ďŹ ve watersheds.â€? In summary, he said the drought is merely a function of having no rain, and everyone must play a role. “This is, in fact, a community effort,â€? he said. “The impact and conditions are going to be different wherever you go in the county.â€? As Watchorn explained, the essential uses of water in the town of Renfrew versus a rural area are quite different. This is where conicts could arise, Admaston-Bromley Coun. Michael Donohue noted. The ďŹ rst to go will be non-essential uses like washing your car or watering your lawn.

Cab fare correction In the July 19 edition of the Renfrew Mercury, it was reported that the price of cab fare within the town limits would rise to $7 as of Jan. 1, 2013. The three taxi businesses in Renfrew actually agreed in November 2011 that, in town, fares would be $7. The $7 in-town fare has been in existence since that time. There will be no increase in 2013.

Straight-line winds cause damage Lucy Hass lucy.hass@metroland.com

Environment Canada ofďŹ cials Peter Kimbell and Arnold Ashton have advised AdmastonBromley Township that damage Monday was caused by straight-line winds of up to 110 km/ hr and no tornado was conďŹ rmed. Tuesday council asked that Environment Canada inspect the area, and word from that inspection came Wednesday morning. About 10 per cent of Admaston-Bromley TownshipĘźs road grid was affected by the storm. At a special meeting Tuesday morning, council learned that 32.5 kilometres of road were severely affected and 47.7 km overall. The road crews have at least three weeks of cleanup ahead of them. A map illustrating the damage and severity was studied by the councillors. Roads superintendent Chris Kunopaski reported that staff were able to make the roads passable for emergency vehicles, but little more.

He said he had never seen anything like it, with trees pulled and twisted, hydro lines down and 300-pound rocks moved. There was also signiďŹ cant damage to the Hass sawmill. Roads with the most damage were Colton, Hass, Toms, Mhusk and Sammon. There was less, yet signiďŹ cant, damage on Mount St. Patrick, Gorra Hill and English Roads. Roads with a lesser damage were Ferguslea, Pucker and Swamp. Kunopaski thanked all who have been helping with the early cleanup, and praised the efforts of people like Bun Hanniman, John Fitchett and Rick Hass. “Without that we would never have gotten through,â€? Kunopaski said. Hydro ofďŹ cials expected all power would be restored in the township by 6 p.m. Tuesday. Council is meanwhile advising the public that if they see live wires down and there are sparks, call 9-1-1 immediately. More information on the storm and pubic advisories are available on the townshipĘźs website.

Drought-plagued farmers invite ag minister to area Mercury photo by Lucy Hass

Farmers need help as drought devastates crops, says NFU Drought conditions have reached a “major disaster point” for area farmers and the Upper Ottawa Valleyʼs rural economy, Renfrew County National Farmers Union (NFU) president Dave Mackay said Monday. He said it has gone past the point of no return for many crops and farmers need immediate financial assistance. “The past weekendʼs dry, hot conditions and blustery winds turned many areas in Renfrew County to almost desert-like conditions,” he said in a news release. Mackay said many parts of Eastern Ontario are dry, but sections of Renfrew County appear to be more parched than other areas. “It is very, very sad to take a drive in the countryside and see the effects of this fast becoming one-in-100-year drought,” he said. “Any amount of rain received from here on wonʼt regenerate the crops or hay for this year.” Mackay said farmers are telling him that “they are stressed, the animals are stressed and the water is depleting day by day.” There is a stress help line farmers can call, but they need more, he said. “They need financial help now, as they donʼt

know how they will be able to pay their seeding bills or what they will feed their animals this winter.” A drought of this calibre has the potential of leaving a lasting effect on family farms, agriculture-related businesses and the community as a whole, Mackay added. He noted that in line with the NFUʼs mandate is to support and work on behalf all family farms, the group has had a lengthy discussion with MPP John Yakabuski and met with MP Cheryl Gallant on the crisis. “The drought situation and financial shortcoming is not caused by the farmersʼ own making, and, therefore, we need to look after the long-term needs of our farmers and community,” he said. In addition to consulting with the MP and MPP, a group of farmers met last week and drafted recommendations for immediate disaster relief funding from both levels of government. Mackay noted the federal government covered 60 per cent of the emergency relief paid to farmers for crops lost in the 2010 Saskatchewan flood. The province of Saskatchewan covered the balance. The recommendations proposed to both levels of government ask for imme-

diate assistance to be paid to farmers on a per-head basis for livestock and peracre for cash crops and market gardening. The proposal also outlined that if the per-animal/per acre assistance were too cumbersome to administer, then a per-acre pay-out of emergency funds be made to all farmers as quickly as possible. Bridge funding was also recommended, which would require the provincial government to guarantee loans to be processed by financial institutions and to be lent to those farmers in need as quickly as possible. Farmers would be required to repay the principle in due time. The recommendations also suggested the drought assistance be for all farmers, both those with and without crop insurance. “Those who choose not to carry crop/hay, pasture insurance have their own reason for not participating and we cannot allow them to be left out,” said Mackay. Other Renfrew County organizations, county councils and municipal councils have been requested to support the NFUʼs recommendations, which the local group is pushing with help from its provincial branch.

Facing the worst drought in more than 50 years, local farmers have invited the provincial Agriculture Minister Ted McMeekin and Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) president Mark Wales to view first-hand the devastation to crops and pastures. In a news release, the Renfrew OFA said the invitations are being made “to ensure that they fully understand the depth of the losses.” Farmers in the county are bracing for “devastating losses” not only in crops, but in livestock as well, reports the OFA. Many are looking to the government for emergency assistance beyond what is offered in standard safety net programs. The OFA says animals that will cost a fortune to feed over the winter are being shipped to market ahead of schedule and incurring losses as the market floods across the province and North America. “Those who were looking forward to good prices for their crops can only watch with despair as the prices rise, but their crops wither in the fields.” A special meeting convened by the Renfrew OFA July 18 in Cobden was attended by commodity leaders and other general farm organization representatives to review the situation and create a plan of

action. “This is a crisis and we all need to work together,” said Renfrew OFA president Bob Johnston. The farmers say they want to partner with all levels of government to establish emergency assistance and will continue to work with the Renfrew County Low Water Response Team. If the provincial officials accept the invitation to visit, an information meeting for farmers will be held in conjunction with the tour. Farmers will be provided the opportunity to present facts on the economic impact on the drought, with the information collected to be used to support the lobby effort. As well, government agencies and agricultural industry experts will be invited to share information on what is currently available for the farmers. Farmer representatives also discussed asking local municipal and county governments for an extension on property tax payment deadlines and establishing an emergency number where farmers can call for assistance for issues such as water shortage. The OFA reminds people that The Farm Line support number is 1-888-451-2903. It also asks everyone “to support each other in this time of crisis.”

Greater Madawaska: Storm cleanup begins peter.clark@metroland.com

Environment Canada officials spent much of Tuesday touring Renfrew County in the aftermath of Monday afternoonʼs storm. This included Greater Madawaska, which experienced many of the hardest-hit areas. Early reports indicate the storm was an unusually large Macro Burst wind with no evidence of a tornado, so far. Flat-line wind causes different, but just as devastating damage, as seen by this latest storm. The most severe damage occurred in the northwest to southeast line from Highway 132 through the Norway Lake area to White Lake.

While some residents are expected to see hydro return by today, Thursday, July 26, many residents in the Norway Lake area are expected to be without hydro until Sunday July 29. Public works from Greater Madawaska, Renfrew County and Hydro One continue to clear roads, remove debris and restore power to the affected areas. As many as 130 additional Hydro workers are expected in the area over the next few days to assist. Greater Madawaska Mayor Peter Emon and council, as well as emergency management personnel, are available to answer questions from members of the public at the

Calabogie Community Centre daily at 2 p.m. A special meeting of GM council was held Tuesday evening to address priorities. The County of Renfrew Paramedic Service continues to be on-scene to provide health monitoring and emergency medical response. Volunteers from the Canadian Red Cross Personal Disaster Team are managing the Reception Centre at Calabogie and are conducting doorto-door needs assessments in the affected areas. The community centre is currently open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. each day, and longer if needed. The community centre is a single point of access to all

OPINION

EDITORIAL

Bike helmet debate requires us all to use our heads cles or a new set of iPod headphones for those long cycling trips? Another argument against forcing people to buy bike helmets is the cool factor – or rather lack thereof. Bike helmets put a dent in whatever type of fashion statement youʼre going for and prevent people from allowing their long Fabio-esque hair from flowing in the wind. And if that isnʼt enough, some might even suggest that helmets sometimes feel hot while cycling on warm summer days. On the other side of the coin, a bike-helmet law will save peopleʼs lives. Recently, an 18-year-old who wasnʼt wear-

Rules, rules, rules. The government always seems to be coming up with laws telling us what to do. Have a life-jacket handy when youʼre travelling in a boat, buckle up when youʼre in a car, donʼt drink and drive. Now, Ontarioʼs chief coroner is recommending the provincial government make it illegal to bike without wearing a helmet. A lot of people will kick up a fuss and spout some pretty specious arguments. First, people would have to spend upwards of $20 to buy a helmet. Would that be $20 better spent on important items such as racing stripes to decorate bicy-

ing a helmet died after crashing into a post in Kanata. Every single one of the cycling deaths in the province between 2006 and 2010 was preventable, according to a recent report from the office of the chief coroner. According to the report, cyclists whose cause of death involved a head injury were “three times less likely to be wearing a helmet than those who died of other types of injuries.” Only four provinces in Canada have cycling helmet safety laws for people of all ages. Ontario and Alberta require people under the age of 18 to wear helmets. When the question of a bike-helmet law hits Queenʼs Park, MPPs will have to balance two

arguments; voters distaste for the “nanny state” and the need to introduce legislation that could potentially save lives. If you accept the argument that helmets will save peopleʼs lives, then maybe we should move on to the next question: how do we encourage people to obey such a law. Promotional campaigns, such as Ottawa Public Healthʼs Adopt a Helmet contest which offers prizes to youth ages 13 to 24 who are photographed wearing a helmet, are a good start. Education will be the cornerstone of any intelligent campaign aimed at getting people to wear bike helmets.

COLUMN

Renfrew Mercury turns 142 the medium it trusts most – its hometown community newspaper. In celebration of our 142nd year, we glimpse back at the year your community newspaper was born. The year was 1870. France declared war on Prussia, the United States Congress created the Department of Justice and Christmas was declared a federal holiday. French physicist and Nobel Prize laureate Jean Baptiste Perrin was born and British novelist Charles Dickens died. In Canada, the Hudsonʼs Bay Company yielded territory to Canada as the Rupertʼs Land Act of the British Parliament authorized the transfer and the land was renamed Northwest Territories. In response to Louis Rielʼs Red River Rebellion, Manitoba became Canadaʼs fifth province. 1870 was also the year a small community newspaper began operations in Renfrew – a hyper-local business dedicated to serving the growing Ontario community. That paper continues to this day, now as The Renfrew Mercury EMC. And the addition of EMC to our front-page flag makes sense. EMC stands for Expanded Market Coverage – appropriate for a newspaper that has grown from a paid-subscription broadsheet to a freedistribution tabloid that reaches 15,500 homes from Cobden and Eganville to Calabogie and the Pontiac every week. The Renfrew Mercury-EMC will continue to bring you all the news that matters most to you, from local politics and sports to social news and school activities. Delivered right to your doorstep, and free, in every sense of the word.

The Renfrew Mercury front page changed recently as another calendar year of publication rolled quietly by. The Mercury has changed much over the years, always evolving to keep in step with the modern media landscape and shifting economy. From linotype tray to computer, and from darkroom to digital photography, the changes have been sweeping. Later this year The Mercury takes the next step in its evolution as it centralizes inserting and press operations in Smiths Falls. Metroland has invested more than $2 million in a 150,000-square-foot distribution centre located in Smiths Falls, as well as new equipment which will build better efficiency into the newspaper inserting process.

A tribute to grandmother Anna Maria Meerman Robert Postma

Special to The Mercury

While looking through some of my late motherʼs papers, I came across a bundle of letters my grandmother had written to us during the period from April 1950 until her death in 1954. As I began to read, I realized afresh what a most wonderful lady she was. I felt it would be appropriate to share with you the following stories regarding the life of Anna Maria Meerman, my grandmother. Grandma was born about 129 years ago on an island which is part of the province of Zeeland (Sealand) in the southwest of Holland. Her grandparents came from France at the time of the French Revolution. She married my grandfather about 100 years ago: he died when many of the children were still very young. My mother was the first of 14 children born to my grandmother. My memories of Grandma go back to my early childhood. Her birthdays were among the highlights: the house, beautifully decorated, was filled with the laughter and singing of aunts, uncles, and cousins present for the celebration. Grandma was a true democrat with powerful perceptions of what was right and wrong. The strength of character was incredible. Perhaps the greatest expression of these qualities occurred during World War Two when my grandmother, without regard for her own safety, reached out to young Jewish women. Her home became their haven of refuge. Several of her daughters were still unmarried so a few extra girls in the house, it was thought, would surely go unnoticed. One of her married daughters and husband, who were involved in saving Jews from the death camps, lived next door. When war came to Holland in 1940, my family gathered at my grandmotherʼs home on the outskirts of our city of Eindhoven. Eventually the field between her house and the airport would be filled with antiaircraft guns and searchlights. “We must all be courageous,” she told us. “Listen well: this will end. Listen well: peace will return.” The Jewish girls were moved from safe house to safe house-staying only a few nights at a time. And when possible, out of the country. One night, while my aunt and four Jewish girls lay sleep-

Anna Maria Meerman ing on the livingroom floor, SS troops began a roundup of Jews and members of the underground. They shone a flashlight through Grandmaʼs window. But because the girls were on the floor, the officers thought the room was empty, and moved on. Had the SS spotted the girls, they would have been interned in prison camps. Grandma did not even consider what the consequences of her actions could mean for herself and her children. Anyone caught helping Jews suffered the same fate. It was not until the war was over that all of these facts became known. However, there was another side to the German presence in our town. Many German soldiers, as well as our German neighbours, extended much kindness to us. German soldiers gave me food, and our German neighbour once warned my father to be cautious when he listened to BBC radiosomething that was outlawed by the Germans. I last saw my grandmother on the evening of March 16, 1950, when I visited her home to say goodbye before emigrating to Canada, with my parents and younger brother. Telling me to kneel before her, she placed her hands on my head and prayed that God would protect me and make me His faithful servant. The next morning our ship left Rotterdam. We arrived in Canada 11 days later. Many years later, on my first trip back to Holland, my aunt and uncle showed me a plaque presented to them by the Government of Israel, honouring their efforts in saving the lives of 76 Jews

during World War Two. My grandmother had played a key role in this highly dangerous activity. During my high school years, I often made my way to Grandmaʼs house at lunch hour to eat my sandwiches: she lived about a 20 minute walk from the school. Along with everyone else in the family, I loved and respected her deeply. She was a soft-spoken lady, yet she exuded tremendous strength of character. Grandma brought her family through two world wars, periods of extreme economic depression and hardship, sickness and the early death of her husband. Her letters to us are filled with strong exhortations for us to be strong in our new country; she held back nothing. If anyone earned the right to total self-expression with all of us, she did. Here is a brief excerpt of one of her last letters following a move to a smaller house. A lot has happened during my years at 79 Ven St. During the past several days, I am looking back at all my blessings. Everything witnesses to God’s faithfulness: The Lord brought me through all the difficult years. In my own strength I could never have made it. To Him belongs all the glory. With Him we go into the future with confidence. From the dawn of civilization to the present day our grandmothers play an ever increasing role in religion, politics, medicine, and law. They offer us a wealth of experience insight and wisdom. Their input in every aspect of life is invaluable. All of us in one way or another benefit daily from our grandmothers.

John McGrath Special to The Mercury They sit amongst us in the Valley – retired military men – and usually we hear of their exploits and careers in a newspaper obituary, if at all. Thus I would like now to speak of one of these retired military men while he (and I) are still vertical. For once I would like to highlight a few of the accomplishments of a man whom I have had the honour (and pleasure) of knowing for about 30 years – John David of Renfrew, or as I knew him when ďŹ rst we met, Col. John David, OMM, Commanding OfďŹ cer of CFB Goose Bay, and now plain JD, (retired) to a host of friends and relatives. For full disclosure, I must confess a personal interest in JD since I retired and moved to Pakenham from Goose Bay, via Cambridge Bay, Nunavut. I worked under contract for about a year with NavCanada when he was my boss and still our friendship survived – a sign of the strength of our bond. Although close friends, he rarely spoke of his exploits in the service, however, much of the memorabilia in his house spoke for him. For many years we hunted together – me as cook and JD as jaegermeister. In spring, he and a crew of indentured family members collected maple sap which I then boiled down with the help of friendly neighbours. JD was more fun to work with than for. JD is the son of Don and Ruth Aikenhead. Don was a prominent Renfrew businessman and sportsman and, as newcomers to the area, my wife and family were quickly introduced to Don and RuthĘźs broad range of family and friends. Because of his varied interests, Don seemed to know ev-

Bear sighting

A young buck stands in a field. Motorists are urged to watch for wildlife on roadways,.

Chris Gannon and his wife were driving on the Phanenhour stretch Monday, July 16 at 12:30 p.m. when he noticed a bear running through one of the fields. “I was lucky enough to have my camera and I got lots of shots of it. We watched it for about five minutes as it ran through the fields and came right up to the road,” says Gannon. “At one point it tried to cross the road around Mikron,” Gannon said, but a truck barely missed it. “Then it ran scared to the bush at the base of the Pinnacle mountain”

Emerald ash borer fight gets milliondollar boost from city Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

Ottawa is injecting a million dollars into its effort to battle the emerald ash borer. The tree-killing bug is ravaging ash across North America and the city has been working to stop it in its tracks since 2008. Most of the combat strategy involves cutting down infected trees and replacing them with other tree varieties as well as injecting select trees with inoculants that can keep the trees alive. The additional money will allow the city to inject more trees and plant more replacements this year. Mayor Jim Watson called the beetles, which kill trees by feeding under the bark, the “the 21st century version of the ice storm.” “We have to be aggressive (and) ensure we have the resources necessary,” Watson said. River Ward Coun. Maria McRae, who headʼs up the cityʼs environment committee, led the charge for the funding. “You canʼt drive down streets in different parts of our wards without seeing the ravaging effect of the emerald ash borer,” McRae said.

She said she wants the city to focus on buying larger trees, not just “spindly ones” that canʼt survive the summer heat. The move is in response to recent input from the public asking for more trees to be injected instead of cut down. The money will come from the cityʼs environmental resource areas acquisition reserve fund. But Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans asked the city to push the federal government to kick in funding to combat the insect. Deans said she doesnʼt see the effects of the ash borer as being any different than the effects of an ice storm or a forest fire. “Maybe (the trees) come down over a longer period of time, but they are still coming down,” Deans said. According to a memo sent out by McRae on July 9, the city is also looking at finding ways to sell wood from the infected ash trees it cuts down. The city issued a request for proposals for contractors with ideas of how to use the wood; it would be the first contract of its kind in Canada, McRaeʼs memo said.

Birds are adapting to drought conditions Established pairs will fight almost to the death to keep their territory. First year nesting pairs may have to move many lakes or rivers away to find a nesting site.

I was talking to Jane Smith who lives at the south end of McBride Road on the Bonnechere River. She says that the drought has caused water levels to be very low and there are birds that she has never seen before searching for aquatic insects on the exposed mud flats. American robins, American woodcocks, mallards, wood ducks, rails, snipes, and sandpipers are picking worms, slugs and aquatic larvae from the mud. All of these birds are able to dig for insects with their long flexible bills. With the exception of the robins, they all have long toes or webbed feet that allow them to walk on the mud without getting stuck. If you are interested in seeing these birds the boat launch at the north end of Riverview Drive in Renfrew would be a good place to start.

CHIMNEY SWIFTS

The latest studies from Bird Studies Canada show that chimney swifts have declined 96% in the past 40 years and have been designated as Threatened. This means that we must try to improve the welfare of the birds but first we must find the remaining nest sites. Before Europeans arrived the swifts nested in caves and tree cavities. Numbers increased when they could nest in chimneys and air vents. Why the sharp decline in numbers is not fully understood but two causes stand out, loss of nesting sites (capped round metal flues) and fewer insects for food. If you see swifts circling any area within the town or the surrounding area please let us know and we will forward the information on to Bird Studies Canada.

NORTHERN FLICKERS AND OTHERS

RED-WINGS BRING PLEASURE

We talked with Gene Murphy who feeds red-winged blackbirds regularly. Her son David Rousselle helps get the seed out and keeps the feeder area clean. Gene says the red-wings are always present and they are not hard to please. She enjoys their antics, squabbling among themselves and showing their bright red shoulder patches. A few female red-wings have joined the flock and are feeding with the males.

Northern flicker enjoys a drink. Photo by Sharleen Van Woezik. book Birds of Ontario. For instance, we have a bird that visited our bird bath to drink and bathe that looks like a scarlet tanager but is not red, it is orange. Take care; hope to hear from you, Sharleen Van Woezik Thank you for your email, Sharleen. The occasional tanager can be orange and this is one of those individuals. They are quite rare. NESTING PLATFORMS

Andy Humphries with the help of Jack Clark

put out a loon nesting platform on Centennial Lake early this spring. Unfortunately the loons have not used the platform to nest this year. To develop a nesting program requires a number of years. The birds must get used to the location and if it is not to their liking they will not use it. The platforms sometimes have to be moved to a new location to be successful. It should be noted that young loons do not return to their home lake for up to four years and if there is any interruption in their development it could be longer. Finding a nesting territory can be difficult for returning loons.

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

Hi Jim and Ila: Kevin and I (Sharleen) Van Woezik have some interesting birds this year. We have had a bird bath for years but have never before seen the quantity and the variety of species until this year. I imagine a lot of it this year is because of the drought we are experiencing and they find it hard to find water elsewhere. It is a bird bath but it is very popular for drinking as well. We have a pair of northern flickers! We are in awe every time we see them – they only come one at a time. Never before have we seen this species. Goldfinches, purple finches, rose-breasted grosbeaks, bluebirds, field sparrows, whitecrowned sparrows, brown thrashers and eastern kingbirds all come to our bird bath. It is well worth the effort to keep it clean and with fresh water. We also have other birds dropping by which we cannot identify even with the help of my

Local wood industry gets 21st century support County of Renfrew Special to The Renfrew Mercury

The County of Renfrewʼs Forestry and Economic Development Divisions have partnered to promote the regionʼs beleaguered forestry/ logging industry and to showcase to consumers why choosing wood and wood products from the Ottawa Valley is a very wise purchasing decision. The forest industry is a major economic driver for Renfrew County and many residents rely on the employment it provides. The last five years have been particularly difficult for the industry and the downturn continues. There is a general lack of awareness of the ability to buy local wood products, particularly in the under-40 demographic who are exercising their buying power and

attempting to be informed consumers. The ability to walk into a big box store and walk out with everything you need, not knowing where the wood products came from or how they were harvested, has led to a net import of wood products in a province that is capable of growing and producing enough wood on an environmentally-sustainable basis. Part of the problem is the lack of awareness of these products, particularly for the consumer who expects to find what they need through internet searching and clear presentation and marketing. Studies have shown that there is a desire across all demographics for purchasing Ontario-produced wood for home projects, if it is available and meets other criteria of price, quality and durability.

However, the problem still exists that many of the products available from local mills and craftsmen may not be available in local retail stores. County of Renfrew staff forester Lacey Rose and business development officer Craig Kelley have been travelling around the county interviewing, learning and documenting the history, business practices and products of over 20 wood producers to date. They are using this information to create profiles and product lists that will be available on the website directory www.OttawaValleyWood. com, to be launched this fall. Product information, pictures and interesting facts about local wood producers who are interested in selling to the public are being gathered, categorized and put online. Consumers look under the category of product they are

interested in, examine their options, contact the producer and buy directly from them. Purchasers get to meet members of their community who produce high-quality goods and have a personal story to tell with each purchase. Just some of the wood products grown and manufactured in Renfrew County are: lumber of every species native to eastern Ontario (of any dimension, pressure treated, dried, rough or finished), cedar shingles, cedar wood chips and planks for barbecue, hard maple kitchen utensils, furniture, hardwood and softwood flooring, mouldings, baseboards and trim, exterior wooden siding, wall paneling, roof trusses, fireplace mantels, kitchen cabinets, timber frame and log home building, jewelry and wonderful works of wood art. The list continues to grow

and the project has received very positive feedback so far, from many people who are surprised and pleased to see they have so many local buying options and from producers who are proud of the work they do. The County of Renfrew hopes to raise the profile of the sustainable forest management that occurs in the Ottawa Valley and the level of employment that results from wood – in and out of the forest. It is hoped that a sense of community pride will be created in consumers with the ability to support the local economy through informed purchasing. The 100-mile diet is certainly possible for many of our wood needs. While the full website is being developed, all the information collected so far is

available on Facebook (www. facebook.com/OttawaValleyWood). Make sure to like Ottawa Valley Wood on Facebook to stay up to date when new producers are added. The website and additional promotional materials will be part of the information that will be distributed when the County of Renfrew, along with local producers, attends various industry and consumer trade shows this fall and next spring. Funding for this project has been supported by the Government of Canada, through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontarioʼs (FedDev Ontario) Eastern Ontario Development Program, administered by the Renfrew County Community Futures Development Corporation and is being offered at no cost to local producers.

RVH auxiliary set to serve up famous root beer floats Christine McNaughton RVH Auxiliary

As a participant at Festival of Family being held in Renfrew on Saturday, July 28, the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Auxiliary will be setting up their annual Root Beer Float kiosk. A tradition for “donʼt know how

many years,” it has been a great fundraiser for the hospital auxiliary. The stand will be set up again this year outside the Metro Grocery Store on Raglan Street; and, by popular demand, will be open for two days for the first time – Friday, July 27 and Saturday, July 28. This annual event would not be

possible without support from Metro Grocers who provide the necessary supplies, and from Traceyʼs Ice Cream who, of course, provide the product. As well, Kent Gauthier sets up and takes down his trailer from which we provide delicious Root Beer Floats. For those who are unfamiliar with

just what is a Root Beer Float, you fill a glass almost full with Root Beer (some prefer Gingerale), add a good helping of ice cream and throw in a straw or two. Voila! However, younger people (under maybe 40) may not be familiar with going to the drug store soda bar for such a treat. You were able to purchase a cherry

coke from there as well (a coke and a shot of concentrated cherry juice). Drug stores no longer have soda bars. But, enough with the reminiscing! The Root Beer Float Kiosk is one of the many ways the RVH auxiliary raises money for its financial commitment to the hospital. Do stop by and help our local hospital.

Omen of things to come? Top photo – Friday afternoon traffic on Highway 60 at Douglas hits a snag as a tree downed wires and a helpful man directs traffic around the problem area. On Monday felled trees were an all-too-common sight as thunderstorms roared through the region. Below, all is calm as clouds make a pretty picture over Golden Lake this past weekend. The cloud cover was a welcome sight in the face of the current drought. The skies were anything but welcoming on Monday when a fierce storm struck the lake and surrounding area.

Report cards: for better and for worse Iʼm sitting on the edge of the bed with my seven-year-old son. Usually, we read a book before heʼs tucked in, but this night weʼre examining report cards — not his, but mine — from decades ago when I was a little boy. Aidanʼs marks are already recent and pleasant history. In Grade 2, he made the honour roll and received several glowing remarks about his behaviour and performance in class. With my own report cards in front of us, I found myself reflecting on what certain teachers and life in the classroom were really like, and how good I was academically. But trying to relive those experiences for my son proved more challenging. During the ride home from soccer that night, I told Aidan my mom had sent me my old report cards. He perked up and mentioned his better subjects, and wondered how I compared, so by bedtime he was already interested in the report cards. His math was very strong; so was mine. His reading was strong; mine good or very good. His attitude and effort were exemplary; mine pretty ordinary. His French was good; mine poor (but improved in later years). His writing (printing) was good; my handwriting, suspect

STEVE NEWMAN STEVE’S SIXTH SENSE at best. And that handwriting wonʼt get any better, with my squiggly Forkner shorthand for interviews and a keyboard to pound out most of my own thoughts. Report cards, however, can only say so much. But perhaps some things in the school system havenʼt changed over the decades. Like expectations. My Grade 1 progress report from the Protestant School Board of Montreal carries a cover page with a school board emblem; basic teacher, pupil and principal information; and Our Aim. Our Aim read: It is the aim of the school to help children become good citizens, prepared to lead a happy and useful life. They are encouraged to develop good habits, attitudes and ideals, as well as to acquire knowledge and skill in the regular school subjects. They are

provided with opportunities to develop their individual abilities, and to become well-adjusted socially. The next year we moved to a Montreal suburb, under a different school board, where I received good or very good Grade 2 marks for reading with understanding and for reading to others. But the handwriting situation hadnʼt changed. In both Grade 1 and 2, handwriting marks worsened as the year progressed. Somehow, I received ʻvery goodʼ Grade 3 handwriting marks, but Grade 4 marks were back to good or fair. Grade 6 was divided between communities, because our family moved again, but at each school the handwriting assessment was the same — fair. Marks were much stronger in Grade 7. Mrs. Ivy Whalley, a little pint of a lady who lived with her mom, motivated and energized me in ways that no other teacher ever did. My overall average per term was my best ever, around 90 per cent. At yearʼs end, she commented on my excellent report and for being “very neat and methodical” in my work.

So much for the neat side (of writing), but she had already planted seeds that helped me grow. Years later, I remember how motivated I was in her class, and in and out of the classroom in the years to come. But mostly, I wish the same for my child and every parentʼs children. That they find people or things in school that make them shine; and that they excel, in big ways or small, with or without poor handwriting.-

Algonquin College Alumni Association donates $30,000 to support college building The Algonquin College Alumni Association donated $30,000 towards Algonquin College in support of the Perth and Pembroke Campus expansions and the Constructing Our Future Campaign in support of the Algonquin Centre for Construction Excellence. “Itʼs important for the alumni to play a role in campus expansions,” says Rena Bowen, president of the Algonquin College Alumni Association. “It allows us to give back to the college that provided the groundwork for our successes.” The donation is to be divided evenly between the three

campaigns, with $10,000 going to each. “The Algonquin College Foundation would like to thank the Alumni Association for their generosity,” says Brenda Rothwell, executive director of the Algonquin College Foundation. “This donation will go a long way to impact the lives of not only current students but students for generations to come.” The Algonquin College Centre for Construction Excellence at Woodroffe and new Perth campus opened September 2011. Pembrokeʼs new facility opens September 2012.

Renfrew OPP kept busy responding to 19 thefts

DON’T BECOME A VICTIM

Taking a few simply measures may prevent you from being the victim of a crime. In the warmer months police often see an increase in thefts from, and of vehicles. Thieves are out more at night when the weather is nicer working under the dark of night, and are looking for quick and easy targets. A few measures you can take include: keep valuables out of sight, either in the trunk or remove them from vehicle at night, keep vehicles locked when not in use, keep windows up and pocket the keys. If you have a garage, park in it. If you must park outside, consider a motion activated outdoor light. Thieves are generally lazy and looking for easy targets. Be a hard target. Get in the habit of these crime prevention measures and you may not be the victim. DOMESTIC DISPUTES

On Saturday, July 21 at about 5:10 p.m., Renfrew OPP officers received a report of a possible impaired driver on Highway 17, travelling westbound near McCallum Drive. Officers located and stopped the suspect vehicle and found the male driver to be under the influence of alcohol. He was arrested for impaired driving. Following breath tests at the detachment, a 34-year-old Renfrew man was charged with impaired driving, driving over 80 mgs. and dangerous driving. He was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew Aug. 29. Const. Hayley Chaplin investigated.

A nail was driven into the side of a tire on a car parked on Oak Crescent in Renfrew. Const. John Succee is investigating. FLIGHT FROM POLICE

CUPE 4989 members have tentative agreement Special to The Renfrew Mercury

After 76 days on the picket line, Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 4989, representing Ontario Works staff in the County of Renfrew, have reached a tentative agreement with the employer. Tuesday members voted

in favour of the deal that sees some improvements over the last offer rejected by CUPE 4989 members two weeks ago. “ItĘźs been a long couple of months,â€? says CUPE 4989 President Ghyslaine Turgeon. “What really matters is that we are able to get back to work and restore delivery of

the services that County of Renfrew residents rely on.â€? But before they can get back to work, County Council also needs to ratify the agreement. “WeĘźve held our end of the deal and CUPE 4989 members are ready to get back to work providing these crucial services to County of Renfrew

Ash borer edges closer to south end of county John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

When the emerald ash borer arrives in Renfrew County, it will be unfair to place the whole county under quarantine. So the County of Renfrew is urging the provincial government to lower the size of quarantine areas in order not to adversely affect wood cutters who sell out of their own territory. Unfortunately, the question is not if the ash tree killer will show up in this area, itĘźs when, County of Renfrew forester Lacey Rose told McNab-Braeside council July 17. She reported that although the pest has not reared its ugly head yet in Renfrew County, it has been found in Fitzroy Harbour, 15 kilometres from ArnpriorĘźs boundary. “We need a plan of action in Renfrew County to prepare ‌ thereĘźs no doubt it will arrive here,â€? she said. She said local residents shouldnĘźt be planting any more ash trees. As well, they should consider planting replacement trees near their ash trees in case they are attacked by the ash borer. However, property-owners shouldnĘźt be too quick in cutting down their ash trees, as some might be resistant to the bug, she added. Rose said the emerald ash borer, an emigrant from Asia that has been in North America for only 10 years, can spread in nursery stock and pallets, but the main culprit is ďŹ re wood. Therefore, when the ash borer is identiďŹ ed in an area, a quarantine is immediately declared. That prevents the moving of any species of ďŹ rewood out of the area. For instance, if the ash borer shows up in Arnprior, under current rules, the whole of Renfrew County would be quarantined. But because the area is so large, county ofďŹ cials are pushing to have the affected area reduced to be based on township, not county, boundaries, Rose said. She noted it wouldnĘźt be fair for Renfrew County entrepreneurs who sell their ďŹ re wood in Algonquin Park to be restricted because the ash borer is found in the south end of the county, and vice versa.

residents,â€? says Amy Parker, CUPE National Representative. “We have been given a date of Aug. 8 for County to hold a special meeting to move things forward - thatĘźs more than two weeks from now. After 76 days, the County of Renfrew needs to make these services a priority and make an effort to get these 22 members back to work, now.â€? CUPE 4989 members held a solidarity rally and picnic in

the Park earlier today (Tuesday) and thanked supporters and residents for their patience and support during the strike. About 200 supporters showed up for the event from all over the province to stand strong with these 22 members. CUPE National President Paul Moist commended the strength of CUPE 4989 members saying, “Our members stood up against an employer with signiďŹ cant demands and

County of Renfrew forester Lacey Rose gives a Power Point presentation about the emerald ash borer to McNab-Braeside council. The arrival of the ash borer in large parts of southern and eastern Ontario has proven costly for communities. Richmond Hill has spent $12 million combating it, London $14 million and Ottawa has just added another $1 million to its $2-million ash borer budget, Rose said. She explained that 25 per cent of trees in Ottawa are elms, so itĘźs a major problem in that city. As well as the cost, people tend to get upset when long-standing trees are removed from their neighbourhoods, she added. “People are taking this really seriously.â€? Rose explained that it takes about two years for the bug to kill a healthy tree. There are treatments that can save a tree, but they cost at least $200 every two years, she said. However, there are signiďŹ cant costs in removing trees, especially the older ones, she added. Rose said that as well as affecting property values and aesthetics, the loss of ash trees cuts into the diversity of an areaĘźs forest. This region has already lost many elm and butternut trees, and beech may be next, she said.

ratiďŹ ed an agreement that isnĘźt what they deserve. Your show of support today demonstrated respect and decency for CUPE 4989 members and let me say that from all social service members in Ontario, we are proud of you for standing up for the services you deliver to individuals and families in crisis.â€? Details of the agreement will be available once both parties have ratiďŹ ed the new collective agreement.

Way board chair, Bob French. “So we undertook to find out from our stakeholders where they felt we should be focussing our efforts. We are now in the final stages of realigning our activities and our funding to ensure that we are in a better position to create significant impact in our communities.” With the proposal call, the United Way is expecting to receive fresh, innovative ideas from a wider selection of agencies that serve people in need, including those that have been associated with the United Way over the years. Once funding proposals are submitted, the United Wayʼs Funds Distribution Committee will give them an initial review and then invite sponsors of qualified proposals to participate in a consultation process designed to ensure that proposed projects can succeed in creating positive change. The goal of the United Wayʼs new strategic direction is to bridge the gap between what is currently being funded (basic human needs and crisis services) and what needs to be our communitiesʼ primary focus (preventative measures and fixing the underlying cause of problems). “While we cannot ignore basic human needs, we can no longer afford to throw money at problems,” said United Way executive director, David Studham. “Increasingly, we have to start directing more resources into addressing their root causes. We are encouraging agencies to partner by pooling their resources and their intellects to come up with innovation solutions to the complex problems we face.”

Effective Jan. 1, 2013, all CRA-registered charities that deliver health and social services within Renfrew County will be eligible to receive funding that addresses community needs within six broad community impact (e.g. strategic priority) focus areas – youth, child poverty, seniors, transportation, safe and affordable housing, and health services. In preparation for this change, the United Way has issued a Call for Proposals to qualified charities in Renfrew County to submit by Sept. 30, 2012 innovative approaches to dealing with some of its communitiesʼ complex problems. Applicants must submit their proposals online using an approved form to be found on the United Wayʼs website at www.renfrewcountyunitedway.ca/. Also available on the site is a list of terms and conditions for funding support. “The United Way has been funding a wide variety of excellent health and social programs in Renfrew County for many years which have, to this point, been delivered by a select group of charities we referred to as ʻmember agenciesʼ. “But in a changing environment, including fewer resources and more demands for accountability by donors, we began to question whether our funding support was actually meeting our communities highest priority needs and whether we could afford to continue taking such a broad approach to dealing with community issues,” says United

Champions of Change honoured at Queen Elizabeth Public Jake Davies Renfrew County District School Board

To no oneʼs surprise, there are a lot of characters who attend Renfrew County District School Board schools. Many of them are even Character Champions. Last December, the RCDSB hosted Character Champions Day – a day of inspirational messages regarding students making change for the betterment of their communities. Any student that comes up with a plan to “makes a positive and inclusive climate change” at their school will help the school win a flat screen television.

Students were required to make a plan and present it to the committee for approval and a $100 grant to implement the plan. On Character Champions Day 2, held in Cobden May 10, RCDSB students presented their cases for those flat screens. The day arted with comments from RCDSB director of education Roger Clarke and RCDSB chair Dave Shields. Shields pointed out one of the eventʼs caterers was retired RCDSB teacher Alice Ferguson. “The kids that came out of her class came out with character the board chair said.

“She instilled it in her classroom and in her family.” Director Clarke spoke of his busy week attending Education Week events. “Today is all about celebration,” he told the crowd of nearly 100 students and educators. “I know there has been a lot of excellent work done. Enjoy your day.” Renfrew Collegiate Institute Grade 10 student Courtney Stafford told her audience of her and 21 other classmatesʼ and educatorsʼ trip to Kenya to build a school in the town of Osenetoi. Stafford said the old school was not fit for educating.

“When it rained outside, the students got soaked,” she said. During construction the volunteers lived under tarps and showered outdoors. Each person could take two oneminute showers during their stay. “We all got used to the smell of each other very quickly,” said Courtney who also formed more desirable memories as well. “Itʼs pretty cool when you can wake up and go see a giraffe.” Following Staffordʼs presentation several RCDSB students spoke on social justice issues.

Shawville celebrates town’s hockey heritage Peter Clark

peter.clark@metroland.com

A was a great night in Shawville hockey history, and fittingly enough, the event was held inside the boards at the Shawville Community Arena. Fourteen men who made their mark in Shawville hockey history were saluted with their plaques going onto the townʼs Hockey Wall of Fame in the inaugural induction ceremony. A crowd of 250 to 300 people took in the festivities, capped by the unveiling of the wall by induction ceremony co-ordinator Grant McCagg. Eight of the inductees, in one form or another, have or are making their presence felt in the National Hockey League. One of the most recognizable and working close to home is Ottawa Senators general manager Bryan Murray, enshrined in the builders category. “Heʼs been a coach or general manager in the NHL for 31 consecutive seasons,” emcee Dave ʻThe Voice” Schreiber said when introducing Murray. “Thereʼs nothing more special than something good happening (to you) in your own town,” Murray said. He said there are a lot of dedicated people in the community when it comes to hockey. “Tonightʼs a chance to say thank you to many people. Itʼs a great honour to be here.” Brother Terry Murray, inducted into the player category, won consecutive Eddie Shore Awards and the American Hockey Leagueʼs best defenceman, and played in the big league with the California Golden Seals, Detroit Red Wings, Philadelphia Flyers and Washington Capitals. “I was fortunate enough to be born into a great family,”

Murray said. Murray fondly remembered playing hockey as a kid in Shawville, often to all hours. “Hopefully, we can continue this kind of night for years to come,” he added of the induction ceremony. Tim Murray, nephew of Bryan and Terry, was inducted as a builder. Murray, who got started as an amateur scout with the Red Wings in 199394, is now assistant GM with the Senators, and general manager of the Binghamton Senators, who captured the AHL championship in 2011. He said Shawvilleʼs a great town and itʼs an honour to be a part of its hockey wall of fame. “Frank Finnigan is a household name in the Pontiac,” Schreiber said. He was the last living member of the Stanley Cup championship 1927 Ottawa Senators, and helped bring the current Senators back to Ottawa before his passing. Frank Finnigan Jr. received the plaque on his fatherʼs behalf. Daughter Norma Goodfellow also attended to see her father inducted. Other inductees include Bristol-born Bill Cowley, a Stanley Cup champion with the Boston Bruins in 1939 and two-time NHL most valuable player; 1930s Toronto Maple Leaf Erwin ʻMurphʼ Chamberlain, who went on to win two Stanley Cup titles with the Montreal Canadiens in the 1940s; Marc Rodgers of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League champion Verduc College Francais, who had an NHL career cut short early by injury; and Blaine Angus, who refereed 444 games in the National Hockey League. Angus officiated at the 1991 world junior championships, 1995 Spengler Cup, several NHL playoff games, and the

2004 NHL all-star game in Minnesota. Among other builders are Bill Gibson, who sponsored, coached and managed the Shawville junior hockey club in the 1940s and 1950s, and Keith Horner, who named Shawvilleʼs hockey teams the Pontiacs. “Shawville was always his home, and the Pontiacs were always his family. He made lasting friendships,” son Doug Horner said of his father, who passed away just last November. Also in the players category are Hardy Cup champion Carson Ryan; Cahill Shield winner Lindsay ʻRedʼ Dale; defenceman Earl Powell, captain of Shawvilleʼs senior team for two decades; and Royce Richardson, named Shawvilleʼs best athlete from 1950 to 1975. Ryan was a mainstay with the Senior Pontiacs for 11 years. “I came to Shawville in 1963 with the intentions of playing one year. Itʼs been a long year,” he quipped. Schreiber, the nightʼs emcee, continues to broadcast the Senators on Team 1200, and was the radio voice of the Ottawa 67ʼs for years. McCagg said the turnout helped make the night a success. “I was more than pleased, we had 100 more people than I expected. We had the Pontiac Jamboree to compete with. “Thereʼll never be another night like this,” he added of the inaugural induction ceremony. McCagg said there will be more inductions in the future. “Every four years weʼll revisit it. The election committee will get together.” “Itʼs tough criteria. I mean, you almost have to be in the NHL.”

Shawville’s Hockey Wall of Fame makes up for lost time Almost a centuryʼs worth of hockey history was celebrated in Shawville Saturday night. Spearheaded by co-ordinator Grant McCagg, the long overdue hockey wall of fame came to fruition with the induction of 14 people to the newly-created wall. What impressed me most was something Grant said during my conversation with him following the induction ceremony. Itʼs tough criteria. You almost have to be in the NHL to get in, he said. Then I started doing the math.

PETER CLARK PETER’S PUTTERINGS Out of the 14 people enshrined, eight are, or have made their mark in the National Hockey League. For a town the size of Shawville, that is truly amazing. Three inductees – Frank Finnigan (Ottawa and Toronto), Bill Cowley (Boston) and Murph Chamberlain (with Montreal twice) – have their names on the Stanley Cup.

the bases covered as they also had a referee inducted. Blaine Angus worked 444 NHL games, plus numerous other top-notch events. A name well-known from the senior hockey days with the old Shawville Pontiacs is inductee Carson Ryan. He also played for the RenfrewShawville Combines when the two towns pooled their talents in the senior hockey league in the early to mid-1970s. Another inductee I found interesting was manager and coach Keith

Horner. It was he who coined the name Pontiacs for Shawvilleʼs hockey teams. *** Tiger Woods leads all active golfers with 74 tournament wins on the PGA tour.

Dockdog championships at Avalon Ranch this weekend Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

If youʼre looking to take in an event with the whole family this weekend, something youʼve probably never seen live before, Avalon Ranch on Lochwinnoch Road is the place to be. The ranch is hosting Mists of Avalon, the Dockdogs National Championship over three days. Competitions run Friday, July 27 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., and continue Saturday and Sunday, June 28 and 29 from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. both days. A featured performer this weekend will be Mike Chiasson of the Quebec City area and his black lab Taz, says Avalon Ranch owner Mary Spurrell. “They have the world record for big air at 31 feet. The record was at 28 (feet) for years. Heʼs in a league of his own. “But this little guy is going to give him a run (soon),” Spurrell added while looking in the direction of her fourmonth-old Belgian Malinois Jet. “Keep an eye on her. Sheʼs amazing.” In big air, the handler throws the toy and they measure distance the dog jumps from the edge of the dock to the base of the dogʼs tail. The dock itself is 41 feet long, making Tazʼs performance even more impressive, Spurrell added. Two other events this week-

end are extreme vertical and speed retrieve. In extreme vertical, instead of jumping for distance, the dog jumps for height to retrieve the toy. In speed retrieve, the buoy is at the end of the pool, and the dog swims as fast as he can to retrieve it. Avalon Ranch offers much more than most canine facilities. “The difference between us and all but one facility (Cookstown, near Barrie), they only compete, we train here (at Avalon Ranch),” Spurrell said. When being taught or practicing, a dog is never pushed or forced into the water, she stressed. “We sell dog life jackets for beginner dogs,” Spurrell added. Spurrell also does dry-land field trip excursions for dogs. It is basically dry-land sledding in the summer. “Once he understands, a dog could pull you on a bicycle,” she said. A more common sport for dogs often seen on television is agility. The dog negotiates up to 20 obstacles while being directed by a handler, running against the clock, on a course designed by a judge. One of Spurrellʼs previous dogs – Zip – conquered a challenge of 60 poles. Spurrell has been doing agility for 17 years. It was introduced in Canada shortly

before, in 1988. There are several fun agility matches throughout the year at various locations. Spurrell got her start in dog training early. “When I was young, I took courses in canine behaviour. I started training neighbourhood dogs. Iʼve been doing it ever since.” Spurrell made the hunters happy. “The dogs would jump into the water to retrieve the ducks.” Walk-ons are welcome to compete this weekend. Each competitor has 90 seconds to perform when they are on the dock. Spurrell invites people to take in the action. “We look for people to come out and watch the competitions. The more the merrier. Bring the family. “The dogs like the cheering. It gets them all wound up,” she added. It is free admission for spectators. There will also be local vendors on hand selling their wares. This is the first of two national events combining teams of handler and dog Avalon Ranch will be hosting this year. The second will be Sept. 14 to 16. The Lochwinnoch location will also be the site of two championship events per year for at least the next five years. Avalon Ranch can be reached at 613-432-4344.

Mental Health Project founder honoured with national award on the morning of June 7. “I am very honoured to have been awarded this award. It means a lot to me and it was great to be recognized and meet some amazing fellow Canadians,” Garron said. “I especially want to thank Russell Baker, previous Director of Volunteers who nominated me for the award.” Garron was granted a $5,000 scholarship and a oneyear mentorship with Lisa Diamond, CEO of Youth in Motion. “Lisa and I will be working very closely over the next year. She will help me further The Mental Health Project as well as guide me toward opportunities and other important skills,” Garron said. The award comes as The Mental Health Project prepares to celebrate its first anniversary and celebrates becoming an official incorporated nonprofit organization. “I am so excited about the future of the organization. This award that Dustin has earned is really going to help the organization grow in the coming months,” said executive director Paige Stewart.

Dustin Garron, founder of the Mental Health Project, was recently awarded the National Top 20 Under 20 Award presented by Youth in Motion for his work in youth mental health and The Mental Health Project. Garron, who is a seventime suicide attempt survivor, founded The Mental Health Project on July 9, 2011 and it has been going strong ever since. “I never in my wildest dreams thought that the idea of creating an organization that promotes healthy conversation would go as far as it has. I am truly thankful for all the hard-working volunteers who have helped developed the organization,” stated Garron. The St. Josephʼs Catholic High School Grade 12 student travelled to Toronto, June 4 to 7 for a Leadership Summit sponsored by Intact Insurance and got the opportunity to network and connect with many large corporations in the Toronto area. Garron and 19 other Canadians were presented their awards at an official ceremony

She was emaciated with many wounds, but after much TLC she is now happy and healthy and ready to begin a new chapter in her life. Honey is a Shepherd/ Dane mix, approx. 3 years old, she is an energetic dog with lots of energy to burn. She is very active and would make an excellent running or jogging partner. Honey is a large girl, with basic knowledge of obedience but would beneямБt from more training, she is housebroken and crate trained. She is good with some dogs if properly introduced, but no cats or children under 13 years. Honey deserves to ямБnd a wonderful forever home where she can happily live the rest of her life.

seconds to see the tissue paper rip to shreds. The kite was finished. Emerson and Ronny stood under the tree and looked like they were mesmerized by what they saw before them. “Well, Iʼll be darned,” Ronny said. Emerson turned beet red again. There was nothing for them to do but go back to the house and face the music. Emerson took a big brown penny out of his pocket, and said they would flip to see who would break the news to Aunt Lizzie. Ronny lost. To say Aunt Lizzie was less than pleased would be an understatement. She raced upstairs and came down with the two corsets,

now in four pieces. Father was just coming in from the barn and was told what had happened, and Aunt Lizzie said she didnʼt care how he did it, but she wanted her laces back before dark! And she was sure Father would deal with the two boys “in fitting manner” as she called it. Well, it took Ronny, Emerson, Father and Everett, to carry the big handmade ladder all the way up the West Hill to the big maple. I tailed behind. The wind had completely died down, and there were the remnants of the kite, and Aunt Lizzieʼs laces were hanging down from the top limb like a long piece of spaghetti. Father braced the ladder,

Ronnyʼs face was beet red. He looked like he was going to pass out. Emerson was dabbing his own face with a red polka-dot handkerchief, and they both kept looking up at the sky. It was a hot, humid summer day, and a gusty wind was blowing dead leaves and grass in all directions. “If we donʼt soon finish, the wind will die down, and weʼll be doing all this work for nothing,” Emerson said. It was just another summer day at the farm in Northcote. The Montreal cousins, Ronny and Terry had arrived as soon as school was over, Grampa had driven out from Ottawa several times to escape the city heat, and Fatherʼs sister Aunt Lizzie had come from Regina for her yearly visit. The old log house was fair jumping. A day without a challenge for Ronny and Emerson was a day without purpose. And that day, they were making a kite, and time was running out; you couldnʼt always count on a good wind. The closest I could get to the activity was leaning against the silo and well out of the range of where Ronny and Emerson were. Mother had reluctantly given up some Christmas tissue paper, and the two boys, had glued it into shape, and all that was left was to attach the tail. Emerson got the roll of binder-twine from the drive shed, but Ronny didnʼt like the feel of it. “Too rough... we need cord,” he said. “You wonʼt find cord around here,” Emerson said, taking another swipe at his face with his handkerchief. “Too expensive. We use binder twine for anything that needs tying up.” Ronny stopped dead. “You just hold that kite and stop it from blowing away. Iʼll be right back.” I noticed he walked slowly, like he had no real purpose, just ambling along. He nodded to Mother, Aunt Lizzie and Audrey in the swing in the grape arbour, where they had gone to escape the heat of the kitchen, and then he sauntered into the house. When he came out, a good five minutes later, his shirt had a bulge in it like he was carrying a watermelon under it. He looked behind him, making sure no one had left the shade of the grape arbour, and then headed for the barn yard, and handed Emerson a wad of cord. As soon as I saw it, I knew exactly where it had come from. Aunt Lizzieʼs corsets! Now, Ronny, like everyone else in the house, knew about Aunt Lizzieʼs corsets. She had at least two sets, and every couple days, sheʼd take one set out and flung it over the clothes line to “get some fresh air” as sheʼd say. And the laces hung down almost touching the ground. “Weʼll use binder twine first and then attach the laces to the end. Thereʼs enough laces here to reach half way to Renfrew” Ronny said, chuckling to himself. Emerson lost his red face instantly. “Aunt Lizzie will kill us,” he said. Ronny paid him no heed. It was the moment that mattered to Ronny! Finally, the kite was ready. With the binder twine

with the corset laces attached, if they got it airborne, I was sure it would reach the soft clouds that were circling the west hill. Emerson took hold of the kite, and Ronny had the tail rolled in a ball, and they took off like they had been shot out of a gun, heading out of the barn yard, down the slope, leading to the river, and up towards the hill. The branches of the big maple tree were bending in the wind, perfect weather for flying a kite. I kept a safe distance behind them, but close enough I could see exactly what was going on. Ronny told Emerson to start running. He was holding the kite as high as his arms could reach, and Ronny was letting out the binder twine and Aunt Lizzieʼs corset laces. And there it soared. Farther and farther it reached to the sky, and I had to admit, it was something to see. The wind was carrying it like a feather. Emerson and Ronny barely moved, letting the air carry the kite and holding tight to the tail. And then, almost as if someone had turned off a switch, the wind died down. Emerson tried to reel in the kite, but it had a mind of its own, and headed right for the big maple tree on the crest of the West Hill. And there it stayed. The lads gathered the laces and binder twine into a ball and tugged, and they tugged, and it didnʼt take longer than a few

bad you didnʼt take the whole corset. Why she needs one when sheʼs as thin as a wood slat is a mystery to me,” he said with tears running down his face. “And if she asks, you can tell her, youʼve been dealt with.”

People peruse the items at Sunday’s fundraising sale for Valley Animal Rescue. The event brought together more than 30 vendors. The cost to rent table space, plus a percentage of what each vendor sold, went to Valley Animal Rescue. There was a huge donation jar at the door, and a silent auction in the Legion lobby. ‘All creatures great or small, Together we can save them all,’ is the Valley Animal Rescue motto.

Murder isnĘźt a branch on Haley Station native Doug HallĘźs family tree. His family tree doesnĘźt feature deaths of the homicidal sort, but the 83-year-old author doesnĘźt mind entertaining readers with stories of mystery, murder and intrigue. At the same time, some of his booksĘź plot lines and subjects have sprung from his own life experiences, including his most recent book. His 19th — Speak Up! ItĘźs Murder — emanates from the morning he was hosting his own program, Open Mike, on CHIN radio station in Toronto. He was sitting in the broadcasting booth one morning when a suicidal woman called. She told Hall he would be the last one to ever hear her voice. Alerted by the operator to keep her on the line, Hall kept talking, as the police got a bead on her address and came to the rescue in time. But the bizarre incident with the woman, who had a medical condition, wasnĘźt over. About 2 a.m. the next day, Hall and his wife were asleep when the phone rang. Joyce answered, at which point a woman, the same one who had called the radio show, said she would kill herself if he didnĘźt come see her. Hall never went and she apparently received medical assistance for her condition, but the early 1970s incident stayed with him. Hall wrote a screenplay after a Toronto-area producer expressed interest, then the producer “went AWOLâ€? and the screen play died a quiet death. But encouraged by his son Mark, Hall resurrected the story in his latest book, using the mystery caller as the kickoff for

a story that centres around the killing of six people. Each body was found nude, ďŹ nger pads and dental work removed, and the letter M carved in the middle of their chests. EIGHTH MYSTERY NOVEL

In HallĘźs eighth mystery novel, he uses two major characters to advance the story, top-rated radio talk show host Victor Cantrell and acrid newspaper columnist Alex Loring. Both are outraged about the murders as the plot thickens and the City of New CornwallĘźs 12-member M Squad is created to ďŹ nd the killer or killers. A Ponzie scheme, a kidnapping, a bloodied killing oor in an abattoir, a special news conference, and a Crown AttorneyĘźs wheeling and dealing take the plot closer to its conclusion. That news conference includes testimony from a person who says, in his taunting note to the police chief, “There have been many suggestions as to what M stands for ever since I carved in on the ďŹ rst victimĘźs chest. Every so-called serial killer, as you call us, had a descriptive name: Jack the Ripper; The Son of Sam; The Zodiac Killer are examples. I chose M because I like the sound of it and it pays homage to someone who shall remain anonymous.â€? Hall, who lives in Pickering, Ont., began writing the novel in June 2011. He ďŹ nished a ďŹ rst draft by November and the book came out in June 2012. Interest in murder stories, and other mysteries, traces back to HallĘźs student days at Renfrew Collegiate Institute in the 1940s. Students werenĘźt supposed to take library books home, but he says the librar-

ian, whose name he canĘźt remember, arranged for him to take such books home on a regular basis. His ďŹ rst such book was Topper Takes A Trip by Thorne Smith. Also capturing his attention was a Life magazine feature about the murderous gangs in New York City. Years later, he uses family connections to ensure the interrogations and other police scenes are realistic. He bounces those sections off two retired police ofďŹ cers, who happen to be his daughter, Diane, and his son-in-law, Gordon. “I donĘźt want some copper picking up the book and saying he doesnĘźt know what heĘźs talking about,â€? explains Hall. At age 83, Hall says he still doesnĘźt feel the urge to slow down his literary output. “The fascination is still there. The thing is IĘźm doing what I always wanted to do. And I have the luxury of time, which I didnĘźt have before,â€? says Hall, who retired from a journalism career in media relations, radio and television in the late 1990s. “ItĘźs not an ego trip anymore. I donĘźt need to see my name on the spine of the book. I just want to do a story from A to Z, and make a buck or two.â€? For more about Speak Up! ItĘźs Murder, and his other mystery novels, check out www.publishamerica.com or www.amazon.com. His books include The $cam Murder, Murder & The Minden Star, The Chiliad Murder(s) and BritonĘźs Pride. He has also published three biographies and three childrenĘźs books. Doug Hall attended Renfrew Collegiate Institute in the 1940s. He was the adopted son of Phil Hall and Mary Jane Edmunds, who was a linotype operator at the Renfrew Mercury.

Garden Tour enjoyed by many Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

If you cultivate a fine-looking garden, they will come. Participation at last Saturdayʼs Glasgow United Church Garden Tour was tremendous as seven couples in the Burnstown, White Lake, Braeside and Arnprior areas opened their arms to the public. Steve and Sandy Hanson of 639 Burnstown Road, a short distance from White Lake, were more than pleased to participate in the tour. “Weʼve had a lot of people first thing this morning,” Steve Hanson said. “Itʼs pretty amazing.” Hanson credited wife Sandy with all the work that went into the gardens and beautification around their home. “Sheʼs the green thumb,” he said. Success didnʼt come overnight. The Hansons have been developing their garden for 18 years. Sandy admits to being a plant enthusiast and hosta fanatic. They have over 700 varieties of perennials and 500 varieties of hostas. Sandra Petrie, who volunteered her services to greet the people at the Hansons, was more than impressed with the turnout. “I canʼt believe the crowds,” she said. Given good weather, itʼs amazing the people these garden tours draw, Petrie added. “I was on the Burnstown (Church) garden tour a couple of weeks ago. They raised $6,000 and they thought theyʼd get $3,000.” Just down the road, Heather Forrest was greeting people as they entered the property of Peter and Mary Stanton at 1305 Burnstown Road. She was equally impressed with the turnout. “I forgot to bring a book to read, but I wouldnʼt have had time to read it anyway,” Forrest observed. The Stantons suffered through a rough stretch when their 1850s heritage home, known as the old Fisher home, was tragically destroyed by fire on Christmas Eve of 2009. But theyʼve put the pieces back together. As the garden tour brochure said, “Does this garden look like it was planted a mere one year ago, in July 2011?”

The rear garden layout is reminiscent of a formal country courtyard. There is also a stone patio, and ʻGrannyʼs Gardenʼ is filled with oldfashioned roses and heirloom peonies handed down from Maryʼs grandmother. The front garden is more informal and relaxed, where one can sit on the porch and enjoy fragrant plants and lots of hostas and shade-loving plants. Keith and Lillian Collins welcomed tour-goers to 107 Duncan Drive in McNab-Braeside. Strolling through the property, one found a Zen garden, a raised vegetable bed and a herb wheel nestled in a vegetable plot turned flower garden People could take in the fish pond at the back of the property, and relax on a bench next to the pond and listen to the soothing sounds of the waterfall and watch the goldfish and koi swimming among the numerous aquatic plants. “Itʼs great weather (for the tour),” Keith Collins said. “The only thing that would be better would be rain. We do need it,” he added. Collins said he was looking forward to Monday, July 23. He said all the tour hosts were to meet and conduct their own tour. “Iʼm looking forward to seeing what everyone else has.” Also featured was the garden of artists Valerie Roos Webster and John Webster on Dickson Road, Burnstown. They have 40-foot red pine trees, a shade garden, a small goldfish pond and an area for sun-loving plants. At the Carverʼs Garden on Lochwinnoch Road in Braeside, Dub and Frankie Jubyʼs hard work has transformed a hayfield. There are perennials, vegetables and grapes as well as the beautiful carvings in Dubʼs workshop, Grace Yantha of Glasgow United Church noted. The home of Robyn and Robert Lamont on River Road has a pond, a beautiful waterfall, and a variety of low-maintenance hardy perennials, Yantha added. Roger and Jill Danbyʼs garden on Russell Street in Arnprior is unique, Yantha said. It is surrounded on three sides by the Madawaska River. Sun and shade beds, mature trees, natural rock and steps lead to the river.

The gardens and plants on the property of Steve and Sandy Hanson were viewed by many Saturday morning. Mercury photos by Peter Clark

A little more ‘exposure’ for Venture Interiors Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Arlene Jamieson has just added more sunshine to her 25 years in business sales. With her own company, Venture Interiors, she has focused the past 12 years on defining and refining indoor business space for clients. But last December, she bought the awnings and sunrooms section of R.H. Cartman Construction and named it South Exposure. “To me, South Exposure is definitely an appendix of Venture Interiors,” says Jamieson of her two-company office at 73 Plaunt Street, Renfrew. “I wouldnʼt be able to do it without the success of Venture Interiors.” The commercial office interior specialist has clients across the Ottawa Valley, the national capital and eastern Ontario that include manufacturers, government offices, small and large businesses, and tourist destinations. With the addition of products provided by South Exposure, Jamieson says she can help clients with their “curb appeal.” Whether itʼs a natural part of the residential landscape or other additions to their home. “Iʼm taking the same skills I use in the commercial sector and apply them in residential quarters,” says Jamieson. Whether the focus is on designing and/or equipping office or residential space, her business motto has always been that “itʼs not just the sale, but the importance of educating the client(s) and making sure they have all the answers to make the right decisions for themselves.” Through Venture Interiors, Jamieson offers turnkey operations. She offers the recent example of redesigning an Arnprior business. Staff left the office Friday and returned Monday with a new-look business setting and op-

erations that were up and running. “I can offer complete service, whether itʼs décor or design,” says Jamieson. “Some have no concrete idea what theyʼre looking for; others do. “I gather all their information, then Iʼm able to give them different options. Along with their own ideas (and mine), they can determine what they want to do and what they can afford to do. At the end of the day, theyʼre spending the money, so my job is to have a plan that they are able to follow.” The whole idea, says Jamieson, is to make space efficient for now and adaptable for changes down the road. Long-range plans can be critical, since changing family demographics or orientation can alter whatʼs done with living space over time. She brings to the job knowledge of building codes, work station logistics and ergonomics (aka safety in the workplace). She also gives credit where credit is due. “I learned from a very smart gentleman (Pat Young) in the office furniture business,” she says of her former mentor. Itʼs not just about Jamiesonʼs orientation, either. Having a full team on board is also important. “The front end canʼt survive without the back end doing a good job,” she says. The two-company staff consists of Jamieson, sales rep Rod Cartman, office administrator Reina Devries, lead installer Dan Foy of Dan Foy Contracting and installer Kyle Kauffeldt. To learn about the companyʼs sunrooms, other outdoor living spaces, and related products, check out www.south-exposure.com. To talk to company staff, call Venture Interiors at 613-433-3842 or South Exposure at 613-4333986.

Five new teammates for Eganville Olympian KERRI-ANN MITCHELL

Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Athletics Canada added ďŹ ve names to its 2012 Olympic Games team last week. In the July 12 announcement, Daundre Barnaby of Brampton, Ont., Aaron Brown of Toronto, Ont., Tremaine Harris of Markham, Ont., Kerri-Ann Mitchell of Pickering, Ont., and Sheila Reid of Newmarket, Ont., were nominated to the Canadian Olympic Committee for inclusion on the 2012 Olympic squad. Bishop, 23, and Jessica Smith of North Vancouver will compete in the womenĘźs 800-metre heats on Aug. 8, with the opportunity to advance to the semi-ďŹ nal round. Both are ďŹ rst-time Olympians who broke this yearĘźs Athletics Canada Olympic A standard of 1:59.90 to become the third and fourth Canadian women respectively to break the coveted twominute barrier in the two-lap race. Last weekĘźs ďŹ ve nominations brought the total number of nominees by Athletics Canada to 45, the largest in recent history.

Mitchell was added to the team as a result of Phylicia George of Markham, Ont., scratching from the 100 metres in London to concentrate on the 100-metre hurdles. This opened a spot for Mitchell to be named under Athletics CanadaĘźs Rising Star policy, as she met all stated requirements. SHEILA REID

Reid submitted an appeal for Rising Star consideration based on winning the Canadian Olympic trials in the 5,000 metres and having an Olympic B standard. She also has two Olympic B standards in the 1,500 metres. Reid was the national champion in the 1,500 metres in 2011 and is a ďŹ ve- time NCAA champion demonstrating her ability to compete on demand in championship races. The National Team Committee was willing to nominate her in the 5,000 metres, pending a competitive readiness test she successfully completed last week.

AARON BROWN

Brown, 20, has a history of international success and over the course of the season ran one Olympic A standard in the 100-metres and two in the 200-metres. The National Team Committee was comfortable in nominating him in the 200-metres as a “truly exceptionalâ€? Rising Star, pending the completion of a competitive readiness test which will be determined by head coach Alex Gardiner and relaysprints coach Glenroy Gilbert. This readiness test was scheduled to be a 200-metre race in Ottawa at the Ontario senior track and ďŹ eld championships the July 13-15 weekend. TREMAINE HARRIS

Harris was nominated by the National Team Committee in the 200-metres as a Rising Star under the “truly exceptional circumstancesâ€? clause following his outstanding performances at the NACAC under-23 championship. Harris won the Canadian track and ďŹ eld trials as a 20-year-old, ran two Olympic A standards at the NACAC U-23 championship, including a time of 20.22 seconds which ranks him ninth in the world, and third all-time among Canadian athletes. Harris also had the required two B standards within the qualifying period.

Barnaby will compete in the 400 metres. He was on Athletics CanadaĘźs original nomination list but was held back as he didnĘźt yet have a Canadian passport. His ďŹ nal nomination was pending acquiring a Canadian passport which he has now done. Brown submitted an appeal for Rising Star consideration in light of a minor injury that kept him from running at full capacity in the 100 metres at the Canadian Olympic track and ďŹ eld trials in Calgary, and forced him to scratch from the 200 metres.

Ginger carrot soup is a cool meal on a warm day Pat Trew Food ’n Stuff

I first put this soup recipe in my column a few years ago, and it was so popular that I’m repeating it. The idea of having cold soup rather than hot may seem strange, but it can be wonderfully refreshing on a hot summer day. Chilled soup is no stranger to people living in hot climates. Spanish gazpacho is a tomato-based soup that’s almost like a salad in a bowl. French Vichysoisse, made with potatoes and leeks, is traditionally served cold. And one of my own favourites is a tomato soup flavoured with basil and mint. When you’re serving a light supper that’s mainly salads and cold cuts, a bowl of chilled soup makes a perfect first course. It whets the appetite, but doesn’t fill you up. This carrot soup is delicious when chilled. It can be served in mugs for a casual outdoor picnic, or in your best china soup

bowls as a first course for a summer lunch or dinner party. Fresh ginger gives this carrot soup a totally different flavour. Depending on how much you use, the intensity of the flavour will be either just noticeable or very distinctive. If you’re not sure which you prefer, go for the smaller amount first. The recipe calls for milk, but you can use cream if you want a richer flavour. If you’re a traditionalist, this soup can be served hot rather than cold. GINGER CARROT SOUP

2 tbsp. butter 1 onion, finely chopped 1/2 clove garlic, minced 1 to 2 tsp. grated fresh ginger root 1/2 tsp. curry powder 3 cups sliced carrots

1/4 cup uncooked rice 4 1/2 cups water 2 chicken bouillon cubes 2 cups milk salt, pepper to taste In a large saucepan, melt the butter, and cook the onion and garlic until softened. Add the grated ginger and curry powder, and cook two or three minutes more without letting the mixture brown. Add the carrots, rice, water, bouillon cubes, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat then cover. Simmer until the carrots and rice are cooked, about 45 minutes. Puree in a blender, in two batches if necessary. Add the milk. If you’re serving this hot, return the soup to the saucepan and reheat, without boiling. If serving cold, chill in the refrigerator. Makes six servings.

They make sheep big JULY 26 1912

A BIG LAMB: Mr. J. M. Lindsay of Lochwinnoch disposed of a sheep so heavy that an experienced man like Mr. Wm. Jamieson was almost incredulous and the weight receipt has been preserved to wipe away his doubtingness. The lamb was a Shropshire grade and when four months old weighed 130 lbs. He was the largest of six which weighed together 582. A half-brother of the heavy one weighed 157 lbs. in the fall of 1911. We always believed Renfrew County would make a great sheep country, and it is evident that we can grow them large even down in this section.

JULY 22 1937

BURNSTOWN BRIDGE DISAPPOINTING: There is disappointment over the new bridge at Burnstown. Instead of a high bridge to reduce the dangers of motoring over the big hills, the new bridge is but three feet higher than the old one. Another thing the people are concerned over, is that the turn from the new bridge on the far side will be on the steeper part of the hill. The contractors are just beginning the work and if the present plans are carried out there will be keen disappointment, as the people generally are expecting a high bridge. PLANTS AND FLOWERS STOLEN FROM RENFREW CEMETERY: Complaint is again heard of the stealing of plants and flowers from graves in Thomsonville cemetery. Mr. D. W. Budd, a member of the committee having to do

with the cemetery states that even plants that are affixed to the soil are carried off. He is no longer of the opinion that children are the guilty persons. A reward has been posted for information which will lead to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons guilty of this meanest kind of thieving. JULY 27 1977

HAM ALERTS MINISTRY OF FOREST FIRE: Renfrew amateur radio operators could have prevented a major fire disaster near Perth last Saturday. An island cottager who owns a “ham” radio set but had no access to telephone spotted a serious looking fire and depended on Renfrewʼs nightly net session between 6:30 and 7 p.m. to get help. The caller, VE3SB reached Renfrew through the Mt. St. Patrick repeater station. Larry Thiverage, conducting the Renfrew Net session, telephoned Renfrew Ontario Provincial Police who in turn made contact with the Ministry of Natural Resources at Dacre. Dacre officials called their Tweed counterparts and this office sent firefighters to ward off what was later called “a very bad fire” by the firefighters. NEW MANAGEMENT FOR STORE: The reasons behind the closing of Renfrewʼs IGA store still remain unverified. A secretary of an official of Leob Ltd., owners of the IGA food chain, said the store is closed for renovations and will be reopened under new management, in a telephone conversation on Monday. When asked to explain further, she said, “we arenʼt authorized to give any information”. Mr. Frank Ritsks, assistant manager of retail development for the company, directed the Mercury to Len Parliament of Richmond for more information. However, Mr. Parliament, whose Richmond M&M food store recently became a Super Save foodmarket, refused to make any comment. Blake Hind, manager of the IGA stores was still unavailable for comment about the posted sign reading, “Closed Until Further Notice.”

A HALT IN CANADIAN NORTHERN RAILWAY PLANS OF CROSSING THE OTTAWA: A Renfrewite in Ottawa this week learned that the C.N.R. has met a “halt” in its plans for the district, When it applied for approval from the Dominion government for its bridges across the Ottawa taking the road over into Quebec at Fitzroy and back into Ontario in this district, the Government said “yes”, “but you must build them high enough to permit of easy navigation when the Georgian Bay canal goes ahead.” And that means such a construction problem, that the road may yet keep to the Ontario shore.

I could choose a time of laughing, a time of happiness and fun. I could choose a time that tried me, through everything I’ve done. I sat and thought about what moment, would always make me smile. One that would always push me, to walk that extra mile.

McKenzie Dean

If I’m feeling sad and low, if I’m struggling with what to do. I can go and open my little safe, and watch my moment through.

(A.J. Charbonneau Public School)

There are moments I can think of, that would lift my spirits everytime. The moments when you picked me up, when the road was hard to climb.

Congratulations to our beautiful daughter and sister on your accomplishments. We love you with all of our hearts.

For me to only pick one moment, to cherish, save and keep, Is proving really difficult, as I’ve gathered up a heap! I’ve dug deep inside my heart, found the safe and looked inside, there was room for lots of moments, in fact hundreds if I tried. I’m building my own little library, embedded in my heart, for all the moments spent with you, before you had to part. I can open it up whenever I like, pick a moment and watch it through, My little library acts as a promise, We will never ever forget you Love Always, Ann, Donald, Jael and Colin MARSHALL, Dorothy In memory of my dear sister Dorothy Marshall who passed away July 26, 2000.

Graduated from the University of Western Ontario with her Bachelor of Music Degree Honors Theory and Composition with Distinction on June 20th, 2012. Heather Anne will be continuing her studies in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program (compressed) at Trent University in September. We are very proud of you! Love Mom, Dad, Gillian and Cailin

HEATHER ANNE CATHERINE ROBERTSON

On that day my heart split in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you. I often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon my cheeks. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day. But missing you is a heartache That never goes away.

To all of you who sent cards, owers and donations, or brought food , we were sincerely touched by your support to our family.

Thank you to Rev. Dr. James Y. Min, of Grace United Church, Cobden for the beautiful Celebration of Life service, who cared so much for us and our family and ensured Dad’s Service was one that reected the loving spirit of family, friendship and community that truly reected Dad’s life. Your gift to Dad of playing hymns on your mouth organ at the end of the service would have given Dad great pleasure. Thank you to Bonnie Helferty and Wilf Smith for fulďŹ lling Dad’s wish that you sing together Dad’s request of “One Day at a Timeâ€?.

IN MEMORIAM

1947 - 2006

Fond are the ties that are broken Dear is the one that is gone, In memory we shall keep him As long as the years roll on. As we loved him, so we miss him, In our memory he is dear, Loved, remembered, longed for always, Bringing many a silent tear.

John Boese In loving memory of a dear Husband, Father and Grandfather who passed away July 23, 2010. God saw that he was getting tired, A cure was not to be. So He put His arms around him and whispered, “Come with Me.” With tearful eyes, we watched him suffer, And saw him fade away. Although we loved him dearly, We could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands to rest. God broke our Hearts to prove to us He only takes the best!

Feb. 14, 1949 – July 27, 2001 We seldom ask for miracles, But today just one would do, To have the front door open, And see you walking through. A million times I’ve missed you, A million times I’ve cried, And if my love could have saved you, You never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a memory, That no one else can fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day you left our home. Always missed and loved, Till we meet again, Mother

In all the world we shall not find A heart so tender, gentle, kind, So soft a voice, so sweet a smile, You always went the extra mile. A brilliant mind, such gifted hands, Made music the heart understands. Tears and sorrow will remain Until we see your smile again.

In loving memory of a dear brother and uncle who passed away July 28, 2011. The blow was great, the shock severe, We little thought the end was near, And only those we have lost can tell, The pain of parting without farewell. More each day we miss you, Walter Friends may think the wound is healed, But they little know the sorrow The lies within our hearts concealed.

The good advice she gave us, Her eyes that shone with laughter, So much of her will never die, But live on ever after.

Ever remembered and sadly missed, Your loving family

McDougall Mill Museum staff is pleased to greet you Staff at the McDougall Mill Museum is ready to welcome you. Manager Michael Bradley is a third-year English major at Carleton University and studying in Lyon, France this fall. Holly Mahusky is heading off to McMaster University this fall. She will focus on Cognitive Language Sciences. Paula Campbell is a Trent University English/cultural studies joint major and plans to attend Algonquinʼs museum studies program. They are working on many new and interactive exhibits for the upcoming Childrenʼs Week at the museum from Aug. 5 to 11. There will be free admission for children 12 and under, face painting and freezies. Also, like the museumʼs Facebook page and follow on Twitter to stay informed of upcoming events. THREE FLOORS OF HISTORY

The museum holds three packed floors of artifacts, many from Renfrewʼs early industrial days when the town was home to Renfrew Electric (Canadian Beauty Appliances); Renfrew Refrigerator Company (ice boxes); Renfrew Machinery Acorn (stoves); Renfrew Flour Mills and the Renfrew Creamery.

The third floor houses a decorative military display, Victorian clothing and a wedding dress gallery. A doll collection, glassware and hundreds of household articles fill every corner of the museumʼs second floor. The first floor contains one of the most extensive collections of farming equipment and pioneer tools in Ontario, along with a few treasures for railway enthusiasts. Though the majority of the museumʼs artifacts celebrate local history, the museum also exhibit items donated by Valley natives from travels around Canada and exotic locales abroad – a six-foot-long Narwhal tusk, polar bear skin, African wood carvings and Japanese Kimonos, to name just a few. McDougall Millʼs most celebrated artifact is the museum itself. The beautiful stone mill was built in 1855 by fur trader and Hudsonʼs Bay Company agent John Lorne McDougall. Used originally as a grist mill, the building was renovated and reopened as a museum in 1969. Situated in OʼBrien Park on Arthur Avenue, the mill cradles the second chute of the Bonnechere River and overlooks the townʼs historic Swinging Bridge. The museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and can be reached at 613-432-2129.

Staffing McDougall Mill Museum this summer are, from left, Paula Campbell, Holly Mahusky and Michael Bradley. The museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
