Renfrew’s Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre and Water Filtration Plant will soon be outfitted with solar panels.

At a special meeting Tuesday night (July 21), council awarded the contract to do the work to iSolara.

Along with a roof replacement at the Ma-te-Way Activity Centre (MAC), the company will design and install a 152 KW FIT 3.0 Photovoltaic solar system at the activity centre and a 66 KW FIT 3.0 Photovoltaic solar system at the Water Filtration Plant (WFP) on McAndrew Avenue.

Cost of the contract is $1,202,491.61 Revenue generated from the solar projects will be a good non-taxation source of funds that will pay for the new roof at Ma-Te-Way and contribute new money for the water fund, say officials.

Councillors had several questions, including the track record of iSolara and their panel supplier.

“We’ve got 28,000 of their panels out in the field and only had five we’ve needed to replace,” said Warren Abar, president of iSolara Solar Power.

The panel supplier is the largest producer in North America and Forbes ranks them third in the world, noted Abar.

“They’re designed for our Canadian winter weather, they’re not flimsy China panels,” he said.

Pan Am gold for Valley girl Melissa Bishop Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

Eganville’s Melissa Bishop made the Valley proud as she raced her way to gold at the Pan Am Games last week.

Bishop, an Opeongo High School graduate, reached the top of the podium at the Games in Toronto with arguably her best race ever on July 22.

Up against a strong field, including favourite Alysia Montano of the U.S., Bishop ran a smart race and made a superb finishing kick to win the gold medal in the 800-metre final.

Bishop is continuing to improve.

She qualified for the London, England Olympics in 2012, where she finished 30th. In the 2014 Commonwealth Games her result was eighth.

Among her many other track highlights, she has won several track and field championships in Canada as well as numerous other races across the country.

Bishop qualified for the Pan Am 800-m final on July 21, clocking a creditable 2:04:51. Bishop has been said to be one of only four Canadian women to eclipse the two-minute barrier in her past 800-m races. With a medal on the line, she managed that again for her golden win, thrilling the large pro-Canadian crowd with a superlative 1:59:62, almost five seconds faster than her semi-final time.

There wasn’t much space between gold and silver medals, though. Montano’s time was 1:59.76, only 14-hundredths of a second behind. Brazil’s Flavia De Lima grabbed the bronze at 2:00:40.

Fellow Canadian Jessica Smith came in fifth place.

Bishop took to social media to express her emotions following her win.

“Standing on top of podium, with a gold medal around my neck, singing Oh Canada, words can’t describe last night,” she said.

“Back in May I would’ve looked at you with big eyes if you told me this was in my future. There’s no telling what hard-work, perseverance, and faith will get you. Things happen for a reason. Trust the process and know things will turn around.”

The personable Bishop, who has been called Canada’s golden girl this week, has endeared herself to her many Valley fans by coming home and sharing her experiences at local schools, encouraging students to be the best they can be.

The University of Windsor graduate, the daughter of Doug and Alison Bishop of the Lake Dore area, began running at an early age in Eganville.

She turns 27 Aug. 5.

Warren Abar, president of iSolara Solar Power, left, joins council and staff at Tuesday’s meeting. From left are development and works director Mike Asselin, treasurer Keray O’Reilly, Coun. Kate Windle, Coun. Tom Sidney, Mayor Don Eady, deputy clerk Jennifer Charkavi, Coun. Mike Coulas, Coun. Arlene Jamieson, Coun. Andrew Evans and Reeve Peter Emon.

Development and works director Mike Asselin said work on the solar projects will begin immediately. “iSolara will initiate the Connection Impact Assessment (CIA) and complete the Ma-Te-Way roof and solar designs. It is anticipated that the roof will be completed in October with the solar systems installed at both the MAC and Water Filtration Plant later in 2015 and commissioning in early 2016,” said Asselin. “The commercial operation date for the two systems is March 3, 2016.”

It’s a project the town has had its eye on for some time.

Council’s background report outlines how, in 2011, the council of the time determined solar projects would be a good source of revenue to supplement tax dollars and/or offset the costs of major roof replacement at Ma-TeWay and application was made to the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) to seek a contract to lock in revenue from a solar installation. The Feed in Tariff (FIT) program was designed to ensure that, as the cost of panels decreased, revenue would also decrease but would provide a positive return on investment.

The FIT 1 program was oversubscribed to before the town’s application to outfit Ma-Te-Way, the Water Filtration Plant, the Innovation Centre and the town hall was submitted and an application under FIT 2 was also unsuccessful.

In December 2013, the town applied to the FIT 3 program for Ma-TeWay and the WFP. In November 2014, the OPA authorized the town to proceed and in February of 2015, council directed staff to prepare a request for proposal for a firm that could deliver a turnkey roof and solar design installation at the two locations.

Along with iSolara, two other firms submitted proposals – RESCo Energy and Strathcona Energy Inc.

Senior management team members evaluated the proposals considering the RFP criteria and technical factors. “iSolara has installed many systems locally and will be using local electrical firms to complete the electrical component of the installation,” says the report.

Councillors inquired about maintenance and cleaning of the panels.

Director Asselin indicated the $1.2 million cost of the project takes maintenance into account.

“Staff will do it in coordination with the contractor,” said Asselin. “Included in these funds is a certain number of dollars for operation and maintenance.”

The panels are selfcleaning, explained Abar.

“They actually wash themselves. We don’t clean a lot of our customer’s panels because the rain actu-

ally cleans them,” he said.

“And we do put together a training manual that talks about the day-to-day operation and maintenance of the panels.”

Council will self-finance the cost of replacing the roof at Ma-Te-Way over 15 years at 1.5 per cent and borrow the money for the rest from Infrastructure Ontario over 20 years at about 3.25 per cent.

Council called the special meeting to allow more time for members to digest staff’s recommendation, which originally came forward at the July 14 regular meeting.

“Kudos to finance and development and works committees and department heads,” said Coun. Andrew Evans in a comment echoed by other members of council.

“They answered all the questions and allowed us that extra week of comfort.”

GM briefs Peter Clark

peter.clark@metroland.com

Following are briefs from the July 14 meeting of Greater Madawaska township council.

Streetlight conversion

Public works tendered for the conversion of the township’s 150 highpressure sodium streetlights to equivalent LED lights with photocell.

They received four replies and Yemen Electric of Renfrew was awarded the tender.

Yemen Electric’s cost of $37,312, which includes HST, was about $5,000 less than the next lowest bid.

The work is expected to be completed by mid August and is included in the 2015 budget.

In March, public works proposed eliminating four streetlights in Barryvale and one in Ashdad. Council directed letters out to the local residents of those areas who would adversely be affected by the removal of the lights.

The municipality received a number of replies requesting the lights remain for safety reasons.

Those lights will remain and be a part of the conversion.

Grants

CAO Allison Holtzhauer said community development and public works officer Victoria Thomas is batting 1,000 in grant applications this year.

Greater Madawaska received an Age Friendly Community Planning Grant of $19,500.

The grant project will be in partnership with the Greater Madawaska Seniors Housing Corporation to conduct a comprehensive, needs assessment on the senior population within the municipality.

The township was also successful in its $3,000 grant application for the Seniors community Grant Program.

Greater Madawaska partnered with Calabogie Home Support in its application.

The grant project plan to work with seniors groups and service organizations to create a database of isolated seniors and set up a senior rural rideshare program within the township.

PREPARED

Coun. Brian Hunt congratulated and thanked staff for the job they did on Canada Day. “I think it’s the first year that council wasn’t involved in Canada Day, so staff pretty well carried it with the help of a few people in the community, so I just wanted to say thank-you,” the councillor said.

It was another great fireworks show, he added.

First it was hogweed, now it’s wild parsnip that is causing concern in the Upper Ottawa Valley.

In response to a flurry of calls from people worried they could break out in boils or even go blind if coming in contact with the weed, the County of Renfrew has issued a release urging residents to get informed but not panic about the plant. “The best way to avoid contact with wild parsnip is to become familiar with what the plant looks like and the proper handling techniques when dealing with the plant,” advises the County.

Its news release points out that wild parsnip is an invasive plant that is increasingly common within Renfrew County and Eastern Ontario. The plant is found in areas such as road shoulders, roadside ditches, rail corridors, uncultivated lands and trails such as the Millennium Trail.

“Wild parsnip may pose a health risk to humans,” says the county, noting the plant sap may cause skin and eye irritation and make the skin prone to severe burning and blistering when exposed to the sun.

The blisters typically occur one to two days after contact with the plant. This can result in long-term scarring of the skin.

Wild parsnip can be easily identified as it is a highly branched plant, with hollow green stems. It has two growth stages: non-flowering leafy rosettes at ground level and half- to 1.5 metre-tall yellow flowering plants.

In the first year of growth, low-growing non-flowering rosettes of leaves form with a cluster of spindly, compound leaves that resemble celery leaves. Second and third year plants have tall, branched flowering stalks that usually bloom in early June to late July.

It is a biennial plant, reproducing only by seed. The seeds, flat and round, can lie dormant for years making it even more challenging to control. “The County of Renfrew is currently performing its annual roadside mowing program and staff is actively working to help manage the invasive plant on roadsides where possible,” reports County area weed inspector Jason Davis.

“In addition, efforts are also being made to remove targeted areas of the weed on public lands and parks. Management efforts to control the wild parsnip are proving to be a challenge across Eastern Ontario.”

Important info on wild parsnip hazards, control and disposal is available on the Ontario’s Invading Species Awareness Program and the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs web sites at www.invadingspecies.com/ invaders/plants-terrestrial/wild-parsnip/ and www.omafra. gov.on.ca/english/crops/facts/ontweeds/wild_parsnip.htm.

Blue-green algae found in lake lookout for algae blooms.

If a bloom is present, please take the following precautions: • Avoid direct contact with the bloom.

• Avoid using the water for drinking, bathing or showering and do not allow children, pets or livestock to drink or swim in the water.

• Boiling the water for drinking purposes should be avoided because boiling may release more toxins into the water.

• Toxins that may be released by blue-green algae are not removed by small scale treatment methods such as filtration, chlorination or ultraviolet light disinfection. Surface water is never a safe source of drinking water without effective treatment.

• Residents should not rely on water jug filtration systems as they do not protect against the toxins.

• Avoid cooking with the water because foods may absorb the toxin during the cooking process.

• Caution should be exercised with respect to eating fish caught in water where blue-green algae blooms have occurred. Avoid eating the liver, kidneys and other organs of fish caught in the water.

• On lakes and rivers where blue-green algae blooms are confirmed, people who use the surface water for their private drinking water supply should consider an alternate, protected source of water.

The Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change and the Renfrew County and District Health Unit will continue to monitor the water conditions in Muskrat Lake.

Ontario has set the guideline on rent increases for 2016 at two per cent.

The rent increase guideline is the maximum a landlord can raise a tenant’s rent without the approval of the Landlord and Tenant Board. It is applicable to rent increases between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2016.

The guideline is based on the Ontario Consumer Price Index, a measure of inflation calculated monthly by Statistics Canada that reflects economic conditions over the past year.

R0013379444

The Ontario Ministry of Environment and Climate Change has advised the Renfrew County and District Health Unit that test results from water samples taken from Muskrat Lake have confirmed the presence of blue-green algae.

Blue-green algae blooms are a natural seasonal phenomenon that may appear in lakes, rivers and ponds. Some species have the potential to produce toxins which may be harmful to people and animals.

Toxins are released into the water when the algae cells are damaged or begin to decay. Direct contact with the toxin can cause skin irritation and if ingested in higher concentrations, may result in vomiting, nausea, diarrhea and abdominal pain.

In 2013, a similar incident occurred and the public was notified of blue-green algae on Muskrat Lake.

The health unit recommends that people using Muskrat Lake or any waterbody for recreational or drinking water purposes should become familiar with blue-green algae so they can make informed decisions about using the water.

Although algae blooms degrade with time, the length of time potential toxins remain in the area is dependent upon local water movement characteristics.

Muskrat Watershed Council has also issued a warning.

“Please do not use the beach. Keep humans and pets out of the water,” says a watershed council press release. “Mike Grace, Renfrew County and District Health Unit, has informed the Muskrat Watershed Council that water samples picked up by MOECC on Muskrat Lake tested positive for blue-green algae (Anabaena). The Township of Whitewater Region will be posting signs at the Cobden Beach and the Cobden boat launch.”

The Cobden Beach isn’t closed outright but be on the lookout for algae blooms, said the release.

The Renfrew County and District Health Unit advises people using Muskrat Lake to be on the

RVH benefits from increased funding years,” said Penney. Expenses continue to rise and even with salaries frozen, there’s more vacation time to give and staff members are moving up the grid.

“It costs about $300,000 more each year to operate the organization,” said Penney.

The one per cent-increase in funding is well-needed and helpful, he added.

“It will help us deal with inflationary pressures,” he said, noting both RVH and St. Francis are running without a deficit.

“Hospitals play a particularly important role in small communities, as providers of care, as employers and as corporate citizens. This additional funding will ensure that local hospitals can continue to put patients first, by enabling access to care that is close to home,” said Dr. Eric Hoskins, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care, in a press release announcing the funds.

“This funding increase makes a big difference to Renfrew-NipissingPembroke. It ensures that the hospitals can continue to provide health care services close to home,” said Bob Chiarelli, MPP, Ottawa WestNepean.

“As Chair of the Small, Rural and Northern Provincial Leadership Council, we appreciate the government’s support of small hospitals across Ontario. The one per cent increase to our base will help us deal with financial pressures associated with the growth in patient volume and acuity,” said Eric Hanna, president and CEO, Arnprior Regional Health.

Renfrew Victoria Hospital is among 56 hospitals across the province benefitting from recently announced new funding.

More than $480,000 is being doled out to hospitals across RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke, to improve patient care close to home.

Along with RVH, Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital, Deep River and District Hospital Corporation and St. Francis Memorial Hospital will receive funds.

Investing in hospitals across Ontario is part of the government’s plan to build a better Ontario through its Patients First: Action Plan for Health Care, which provides patients with faster access to the right care; better home and community care; the information they need to live healthy; and a health care system that is sustainable for generations to come.

“On behalf of Renfrew Victoria Hospital and St. Francis Memorial Hospital, I would like to thank Minister Hoskins and this government for continuing to recognize the challenges for small hospitals. This funding is important and required in our ongoing efforts to maintain programs and services in rural communities,” said Randy Penney, president and CEO of Renfrew Victoria Hospital and St. Francis Memorial Hospital.

“What happens with hospitals normally is they get an adjustment. In the past it’s been higher percentages but it’s been zero for the past couple of

Ontario has also created a Small and Rural Transformation Fund, which fosters innovation and encourages collaboration among small and rural hospital and community care providers, so they can operate as integrated networks.

Report From Parliament:

By Cheryl Gallant, MP

August 2015

The latest report by the non-partisan Parliamentary Budget Office(PBO) has confirmed what Canadians already know. When it comes to managing an advanced economy in a first world country like Canada, experience counts! Budgets do not just “balance themselves.” There is no time for on the job training, especially if your teacher/senior advisor is responsible for bad policy like the Toronto liberal (so-called) Ontario Green Energy Act. This bad policy, among many bad provincial policies, has resulted in out-of- control electricity rates, causing a net loss of 212 thousand manufacturing jobs in Ontario since 2004.

The good news is, if all the PBO’s projections are realized, Canada is on track to eliminate the federal net deficit. This has been accomplished without downloading costs on to the Provinces, or raiding the employment insurance account, which is how the old government in the 1990s balanced the budget. The $32 billion Canada Health Transfer will continue to grow affordably, at the rate of general growth plus inflation.

Among the winners of federal economic policy are the residents of Ontario. Ontario is number one in Canada when it comes to receiving federal transfer payments, 20.5 billion in combined health, social and equalization payments in this fiscal year alone, to pay for services you and your family count on.

The losers have been the rest of Canada, who are being forced to prop up the Toronto liberal party’s spending addiction. Ontario has gone from a “have” to a “have not” province, reduced to begging for handouts from the federal government. By 2017, Ontario’s debt levels will have doubled from when that party took office, to 325 billion, $23,000 per capita. Interest payments alone on the debt exceed what is spent in Ontario on post-secondary education.

According to the Provincial Auditor General, provincial liberal debt is being accumulated for the wrong reasons. For example, the $50 billion “global adjustment” carbon tax that has been added to electricity bills since 2006 to pay for lucrative wind turbine contracts and cancelled gas-powered electricity plants could have paid the annual salary of about 2.3 million Ontarians working full time at minimum wage, or used to reduce the provincial debt. Ontario’s poor performance is a drag on the Canadian economy.

Canada has been very fortunate to have a leader in Ottawa who has worked hard to protect jobs and balance the federal budget. Feeding the Ontario spending addiction is wrong. The mistakes made in Toronto must not be allowed to be repeated federally, which is the Opposition plan. Claims by the Opposition that a balanced budget is not important are equally wrong. The next time you go to fill up the tank in your automobile or pay a utility bill think about “who do you want in your pocket?”

As your Federal Member of Parliament, I am pleased to represent you on a variety of issues. Whether that issue is promoting agriculture, international trade, Canadian Unity, AECL, CNL, the military or jobs in the working forest, I am here to serve you! As always, if you have any concerns of a federal nature, or just want to share your views with me, please do not hesitate to contact my office.

Opinion

Connected to your community

Our athletes are making us proud It was so easy to be smug about the Pan Am Games.

The Games are in Toronto, the one place in Canada those of us who live outside of the GTA can stand united in our shared disdain. Here in the Ottawa Valley, for the past few years, has there been any more enjoyable sport than laughing at the plight of the sad-sack Maple Leafs while cheering on the pesky Sens?

But it wasn’t just those of us outside Toronto who so easily dismissed the Pan Am Games. Media reports in the lead-up to the start of the Games were at times gleeful in the way they pointed out that even in Hogtown the event was not creating a buzz among residents. It was just the Pan Am Games after all, not the Olympics.

Stories about slow ticket sales were the norm, and much of the coverage from the national media focused on the manner in which the Games were going to be an inconvenience to residents of that city rather than an event to create civic and national pride.

And then a funny thing happened, as is often the case, when the competitions actually began. Canadians, from coast to coast, started to embrace the Games and have been delighted by the level of success our athletes are accomplishing.

Athletes from Ottawa and the Valley have been among those collecting a record number of Pan Am medals for Canada.

There are several moments to treasure, like the magnificent finishing push by Val-

ley girl Melissa Bishop in winning a gold medal in the women’s 800-metre final.

This was quite the story, considering she missed a month of training in May due to an ankle injury.

There was the delight shown by the Smedleys of West Carleton, who put their heart and soul into the Games with two of the family being competitors, another a physiotherapist and a fourth a judge. They, and Canada, were rewarded with a silver medal performance by Cameron in canoe slalom.

There was the excitement on social media expressed by Dunrobin resident, worldranked squash player, Samantha Cornett.

Another Valley girl (born in Deep River), Cornett won three medals in her sport.

And there was the 100-watt smile on the face of Nepean born and raised Andrew D’Souza’s face after he beat the top ranked player to qualify for the gold medal match in badminton.

For many of the athletes from this area who participated in the Games, this will be as big as it gets in their career.

Some may go on to represent Canada at the Olympics or at world championships, but many won’t. The Pan Am Games is an experience they will cherish for the rest of their lives.

Yes, it was easy to be smug about the Games before they began, but now it is all about our athletes, and after all their hard work they richly deserved their moment to shine.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Canada Post needs to reinvent itself To the editor:

Response to July 9 letter from Solange Hupe (Renfrew Mercury).

I am pleased to address concerns raised in your paper about environmental responsibility, jobs and Canada Post in response to a recent Report From Parliament.

As an environmentally conscious Conservative, I believe in personal choice and being good stewards of the earth.

The federal government should not dictate lifestyle choices or subsidize environmentalism.

I concur with the observation that we cannot continue to use the earth as a dumping ground.

I also agree that environmental responsibility does not have to be an attack on the economy, (or jobs). In fact this is the balanced approach of our federal government; protecting the environment while preserving jobs.

Canada Post is in the business of paper-based communications. The comment “perhaps it’s

Today’s reality is people have other ways of keeping in touch with one another other than using paper, like smart phones and the Internet. time for Canada Post to consider reinventing itself” is exactly what Canada Post is trying to do.

Today’s reality is people have other ways of keeping in touch with one another other than using paper, like smart phones and the Internet.

The rise of Twitter, Facebook and other electronic means of communication have resulted in severe declines in mail volumes.

Many people pay their bills electronically.

You can receive flyers electronically. Small businesses have websites.

Times are changing. Canada Post recognizes these facts.

The challenge comes when intentions clash with reality.

The campaign to eliminate advertising (ad or junk) mail is being supported by environmental groups who do not believe in harvesting the forest.

They believe cutting trees contributes to global warming. 80 per cent of what is in a letter carrier’s mail bag is ad mail; 100 per cent is made from paper from trees.

Junk mail pays the bills at Canada Post.

Eliminate ad mail and there will be little if anything to put in a letter carrier’s mailbag to deliver.

Ask your letter carrier what they choose, a job or the environment?

I support Canada Post’s independence to make decisions without the political interference that is being advocated by a mis-informed minority. The plan to subsidize jobs being lost

through technology and climate change is not affordable.

Running a billion dollar plus annual deficit will not fund the $6.5 billion pension funding shortfall at Canada Post.

The good news is unlike other industries in Ontario where workers have lost their jobs through provincial policies based on climate change, no current postal employees are expected to lose their job as Canada Post “reinvents” itself.

I welcome all suggestions regarding the environment and the future of Canada Post.

Anyone can throw money at a problem and hope it goes away. Once the taxpayer gets tired of throwing away money, you are still stuck with the same problem.

I welcome your support to ‘Save Canada Post’.

Cheryl Gallant, MP Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, July 30, 2015 9

Proper child care program needed, not one-time payment: NDP “Pre-election give-aways” won’t buy parents the affordable child care they need, says Renfrew-NipissingPembroke NDP federal candidate Dan McCarthy.

McCarthy was responding to the lump sum increase in child care benefits received by in the mail by parents last week.

In a news release Monday, he said “Stephen Harper’s hype” connected with federal Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB) payments to parents “does nothing to address the real child care needs of working, middleclass families.”

McCarthy charged that the payments are intended to distract parents from the pressing issues they face in finding and paying for care for their kids.

“Back in 2006, the Conservatives insisted that the UCCB was direct assistance to families for child care and it was combined with a promise of 125,000 new childcare spaces,” he said. “Nine years later, not a single childcare space has been delivered and the increased UCCB benefit is no longer about childcare.”

McCarthy, a lawyer who has advocated for working people throughout

his life, says the payments amount to nothing more than a very modest, and taxable, allowance for families.

“But it is not as the Conservatives have finally admitted the answer to the child-care challenges faced by families. The costs of childcare are frightening for young families,” he said. The noted the average Canadian family is paying $1,000 per month, per child and today’s average childcare costs are 18.4 per cent of the average Canadian family income.

“Compare real child care costs with a UCCB payment of $160 per month,” he said. “It’s not really very

helpful to families. “(NDP leader) Tom Mulcair has a concrete plan to strengthen the middle class and help families get ahead by ensuring quality childcare is affordable for every Canadian family,” said McCarthy. “As Prime Minister, Tom will create a million childcare spaces for our kids and cap fees for parents at no more than $15 a day. It’s a plan that will save young families money and enable greater participation in the workforce especially for women.

He said there are 70,000 more women working since affordable

childcare came to Quebec.

The NDP childcare program is affordable, said McCarthy. “According to economist and childcare expert Pierre Fortin, this program could generate more than $3 billion for the federal government through additional revenues and reduced costs.

That’s on top of the clear and substantial benefits for Canadian families.”

Parents would be wise, he said, to opt for help every day instead of a “one-time, pre-election give-away that doesn’t accomplish what is needed.”

Child care payout unfairly benefits wealthiest few: Liberal

JEFF LEHOUX

The federal government’s “unfair” child care system gives money to those who need it least, says Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke Liberal candidate Jeff Lehoux.

“Harper’s Conservatives are touting the Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB) payout – which residents of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke helped pay for – that unfairly benefits the wealthiest few,” he said in a news release.

“Harper’s economic plan has failed the middle class residents of this community: they continue to work longer and harder just to make ends meet,” he added.

“After a decade of Harper, we are the only party offering new leadership and a plan for real change.”

Lehoux said a Liberal government will replace the UCCB with the new Canada Child Benefit, a bigger, automatic, tax-free monthly cheque that

VAR urgently needs foster willing to care for homeless kittens. We have several families kittens that currently need to be moved to foster homes. All the kittens are now eating solid food and are litter trained. We have a group of 4 week old kittens that came to us after being taken away from their mom too soon and ended up homeless. The second group is made up of 2 litters from a local feral colony that we manage. These 2 litters were born to feral moms that are both first time moms under a year old. Although the moms are not adoptable, the kittens have been handled and with proper care and attention, will be candidates for adoption. As soon as we can move these kittens into foster homes we can spay and vaccinate the moms and end their cycle of endless pregnancies. There are 7 kittens in these 2 litters that are currently 6 and 7 weeks old. They will have their first health check and initial vaccinations in the first week of August and will need foster homes immediately afterwards. We currently manage 4 stray and feral cat colonies and are working at spaying/neutering, vaccinating and de-worming all the cats in these colonies. We will continue to provide food and care for these cats and kittens throughout their lives and will adopt out any kittens that we are able to socialize.

If anyone is interested in fostering one or more of these homeless kittens please email VAR at valleyanimalrescue@hotmail.com VAR pays for all the kitten’s needs from supplies to medical care.

Due to the large numbers of cats and kittens in our care we are in need of the following supplies: Dry KITTEN food ***, Canned KITTEN food, Dry cat food, Scratching posts, Kitten Formula Mix Valley Animal Rescue is currently seeking a Volunteer Treasurer.

Training/orientation will be provided. Interested parties please send an email to valleyanimalrescue@hotmail.com with “Treasurer” in the subject line.

gives up to $533 a month per child directly to Canadian families.

“With the Liberal plan, nine out of 10 families will receive more in monthly child benefit payments than under Harper’s system, tax-free,” claimed Lehoux.

The Liberal plan will give families more money to help with the high costs of raising their kids, and will also provide more help to lower income Canadians, he said.

“Justin Trudeau is the only leader

who’s truly focused on struggling middle class Canadians,” maintained Lehoux.

“A Liberal government will give a seven per cent tax cut to the middle class and provide middle class families with more support.

Our plan for real change will create much-needed economic growth in regions all across Canada, and put more money in the pockets of families that need it, including right here in RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke.”

10 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, July 30, 2015

The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) will celebrate the acquisition of 258 acres of pristine wilderness in the Denbigh area on Saturday, Aug. 8.

The “amazing story” of this donation of land adjacent to the Rose Hill Nature Reserve goes all the way back to August 1980 when donor Patricia Hatton made a formal promise to her late husband, Robert Brodey, on the first anniversary of his tragic death, relates the MMLT in a news release.

She promised him that the land would always be kept as it was so that others would learn to love and respect nature as he did. At that time a large bronze memorial plaque was mounted on the side of an enormous boulder committing the land for preservation. Now this beautiful property will be merged into Rose Hill Nature Reserve and legally protected forever by the Land Trust. The property holds very special meaning for Hatton. In 1979, when returning from a camping trip at Rose Hill with friends Anna and John Hatton, the two couples were involved in a serious car accident that took the lives of Robert Brodey and Anna Hatton.

A little over a year after erecting the memorial plaque in their honour, Patricia married John Hatton. This year the Hattons plan to once again camp on the property and join the celebration.

The first 100 acres of Rose Hill Nature Reserve was donated to MMLT in 2011 by the

family of Charlie Armstrong through his daughters, Charlene and Bethany, descendants of the Fritsch family of Denbigh.

Bethany Armstrong, now an MMLT board member, expresses the significance of the donation this way: “Because of the memorial plaque on the rock my family had always known that our neighbours saw their property as a nature reserve, and that it was adjacent to our property.

The fact that we donated our land to MMLT and now Pat ultimately decided to donate her land too is truly amazing.”

On one of their first trips to the Reserve, MMLT board members discovered the mysterious memorial plaque which could be seen from the access trail and eventually contacted Patricia Hatton. They soon learned that she had always intended to bequeath the property to a Nature Conservancy.

On discovering that a Nature Reserve already existed right next door to her property, she soon expressed her intentions to donate the land outright to MMLT. The public is invited to join the celebration on Aug. 8, beginning at 10:30 a.m., which will be followed with refreshments and a tour.

Just north of the junction of Hwy 41 and County Rd. 28 (Denbigh exit), turn east on Rose Hill Rd and follow it for 3.4 kilometres.

The trail entrance is on the right side of the road, just before Rose Lake.

Summer camp provides girls with skills in the trades

Each day a different female tradesperson visits the camp, shares her experiences in the industry and also shares a bit of her knowledge with the campers. The students have learned various skills in welding, sheet metal, carpentry, automotive, cosmetology, electricity and many more.

Students have learned to change oil and rotate tires on

vehicles, they’ve made rockets, boomerangs, planters, bird house and paddles – all things they get to keep, take home and show off to family and friends.

“I enjoy it,” said Tiffany Wright, who will be going in to Grade 9 next year. “I think it is giving me lots of opportunities to try things I wouldn’t normally get to. I’ve learned a lot of things. I hope it goes R0033324897

Learning one new skill over the course of a summer is impressive in its own right.

Twenty-three young Grade 7 and 8 female students are learning a new skill every day over the course of 10 days at the Renfrew County District School Board’s free Women in the Skilled Trades Summer Camp on now at Renfrew Collegiate Institute in Renfrew.

The camp opened its doors to students from the Arnprior and Renfrew area and is teaching the young women about the skills and opportunities in the Skilled Trades.

“Opportunities in the workforce for girls have never been more diverse and exciting and we believe by introducing the non-traditional skilled trades to girls, it will help them explore options they might not otherwise have considered,” said Terry Hoelke, Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program liaison and camp coordinator. “During the camp, the girls will be exposed to a variety of skilled trades by working on various projects in an atmosphere intended to be

amazing,” Nadine Kosowski said, who will also be attending Grade 9 in the fall.

And all the campers seem pretty fond of Mr. Hoelke.

“He’s pretty fun to be around,” Nadine said. “He sings a different song every couple of minutes and he’s pretty funny.”

Both Nadine and Tiffany said they plan to take technology courses in high school

and credit the interest they have developed in the trades to attending camp.

“We want to make an awareness for the girls that yes, you can be a tradesperson – women are capable of doing anything in the trades,” Hoelke said.

“Male plumbers are making $55 an hour in unioncertified jobs. Why shouldn’t women?”

New Burnstown business makes old items new again Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Deborah Pollard takes old items and brings them back to life at her new Burnstown shop and studio The Square Nail.

The Burnstown resident opened the doors for the first time on Saturday, July 25, and business was brisk, she said. The first piece she sold was the first piece she rehabbed – an antique shaving stand.

“There’s something a little bit unique, a little different about each of them,” she said of her items for sale. Pollard scours online websites, auctions and garage sales to find the pieces that speak to her. She then sands, buffs, paints and dis-

tresses each item to bring out its flair.

“You look for details and how you can bring them back to life,” she said. “I’ve always liked refinishing and restoring.

Pollard also creates unique bags out of antique grain sacs, including handbags, wine bags and pots for herbs.

Customers can also request custom work, she said.

The Square Nail is located beside Knuzs Ice Cream Shop on Calabogie Road and is open Thursdays and Fridays from 5 to 8 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, visit the website at thesquarenail. ca.

Deborah Pollard opens the doors to her shop The Square Nail on July 25. Pollard specializes in refinishing and restoring pieces of furniture.

RVH achieves first milestone in providing healthy food options

No more deep fryers

Changes within the RVH dietary department included: providing calorie and sodium information for soups and entrees; removing deep fryers and deep fried foods; reducing the variety of chocolate, chips, coated granola bars, candy, pretzels, danishes, croissants, pies, cinnamon buns and donuts; reducing sodium in soups; increasing availability of whole grain bread products; and decreasing portion sizes of high-calorie beverages.

Penney explained that so much work is done to educate and train patients to ensure they understand the importance of healthy choices and healthy foods within a clinical setting, but when cafeterias and franchises in larger hospitals offer unhealthy foods it reverses all the work that has been done.

“Congratulations to our food services staff; we have a great cafeteria and I say in all sincerity we are ide-

ally positioned to move forward,” he added.

Cafeteria pride

RVH’s vice-president of corporate services, Julia Boudreau said they have every reason to be proud of the RVH cafeteria.

“We serve great food now and I know we’ll continue to serve great food as we move forward,” she said.

Penney also said that RVH will gradually take the next steps to attain silver status: “Stay tuned... bronze is our first step, we are going to be moving forward. We want to achieve silver, and we want to achieve gold, and we want to tackle the food we serve inpatients.”

In a congratulatory letter, Dr. Pipe commended the RVH team on their impressive efforts to date and thanked the organization for their ongoing leadership; in particular, pointing to Penney’s involvement in the program from its early stages.

“We would be remiss not to acknowledge the strategic stewardship you provided in the formative years of this program. You initiated among your peers a challenge to ‘do better’; your leadership role on this issue in our region has been a key enabler of our successes to date,” he said.

Submitted

On hand for the bronze designation plaque presentation are Randy Penney, RVH CEO and president, Angela Gillan and Carolyn Belaire, RVH food services, Andra Taylor, registered dietitian, CCPN, Pam Cranfield, RVH dietitian, Barb Bourguignon, RVH food services supervisor, Liz Corrigan, RVH food services, Julia Boudreau, RVH vice president corporate services, and Laurie Dojeiji, network manager, health promotion, Champlain CVD Prevention Network.

The Renfrew Victoria Hospital’s effort to improve the retail food environment has been recognized with bronze status by the Healthy Foods in Champlain Hospitals Program.

At a special ceremony, RVH president and CEO Randy Penney noted that Renfrew is one of four hospitals in the Champlain region to achieve bronze designation to date as part of this important initiative.

“This project is near and dear to my heart.

“It is part of a much broader initiative of the CCPN. It’s really about the health status of our population – patients and staff – to make sure we keep them as healthy as possible,” he said.

RVH is one of 19 hospitals in the Champlain LHIN participating in the Healthy Foods program, which is being spearheaded by the Champlain Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Network (CCPN) to create supportive, healthy food environments for staff, physicians, visitors, patients and volunteers.

The CCPN is housed at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute.

Hospitals are taking steps to ensure that the healthy choice is the easy choice in cafeterias, vending machines and gift shops.

“Food plays a critical role in our overall health,” said Dr. Andrew Pipe the chief of Prevention and Rehabilitation at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute and Chair of CCPN. “Seeing hospitals like RVH who are actively – and successfully – increasing the availability of healthy foods and decreasing less healthy options, is a wonderful example of the health promotion leadership taking place across health care institutions in our region.”

Adding patient, caregiver voice to home care Champlain CCAC unveils Patient and Caregiver Declaration of Values Powerful things happen when a group of citizens comes together with a common purpose.

This is the case with nine patients and caregivers who are working to add their voice to home care programs and improvements.

These dedicated volunteers are members of the Champlain Community Care Access Centre’s (CCAC) Patient and Caregiver Council. Together they are committed to making home care a better experience for all patients and family caregivers across the region.

Russ Morton lives in Renfrew County and cares for his 88-year old mother Esther.

Morton began his journey as a caregiver a

INSIDE

few years ago when his father William had a debilitating stroke.

A banker in Toronto at the time, he packed his bags and headed home to Renfrew so he could care for his father. “I didn’t hesitate,” says Morton. “I knew my father would have done the same for me.”

Becoming a full-time caregiver was challenging and even frightening at first.

In the end, caring for his father – who eventually died at home surrounded by loved ones – proved to be one of the richest experiences of his life.

Morton joined the council to raise awareness of the needs of caregivers. There are 3.3 million family caregivers in Ontario and that number is growing.

“Caregiving is immensely rewarding, but it’s also a lonely experience,” he explains.

“Caregivers need support and tools to help them cope.”

Morton is involved in a number of outreach and education initiatives with the Champlain CCAC. He recently gave a presentation at a provincial home care confer-

ence in Toronto and has participated in a number of consultations on health care improvements.

“Patients and caregivers are essential partners in care,” says Marc Sougavinski, Champlain CCAC’s chief executive officer.

“Along with other council members, Russ is helping the Champlain CCAC to better understand the needs of patients and caregivers, and how we can better support them.”

The council recently unveiled the Patient and Caregiver Declaration of Values—a statement of what patients and the community want and expect from the Champlain CCAC. Written in the council’s own words with input from people across the region, the declaration focuses on three core values: respect, dignity, and trust. It will be used as a lens to guide staff training and improvements in patient care.

The Champlain CCAC is seeking additional members to join the Patient and Caregiver Council. More information is available online at www.champlainccac.ca.

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, July 30, 2015 17

Long-time educator appointed public school board trustee A long-time Braeside and Arnprior resident and teacher, Kimberley Dunsmoor-Lough, has been appointed as the new Arnprior-McNabBraeside trustee on the Renfrew County District School Board.

Dunsmoor-Lough was one of three candidates applying to replace Glenn Miller, who stepped down July 1 citing health reasons.

The announcement was made Tuesday, July 21 with Dunsmoor-Lough to be officially sworn in at the Aug. 25 public school board meeting.

The new Arnprior-McNab-Braeside representative, who has a Masters of Education from the University of Ottawa, has spent her entire career in Renfrew County as both an elementary school and special education resource teacher.

I believe this opportunity would allow me to explore the public education system from a different perspective.

“I have always been a dedicated worker who is committed to performing every job to the highest standards.”

After a long day of interviews, the board of trustees is excited to move forward with a full table.

“We are pleased to welcome our successful candidate Kimberley Dunsmoor-Lough to the RCDSB and look forward to working with her in her new role as trustee representing the Arnprior area,” said vice-chair Wendy Hewitt.

“With her willingness to learn we believe she will be an excellent addition to the board of trustees.”

MILLER FUNDRAISER

Miller stepped down after finding out he is in dire need of a liver transplant.

To help him with expenses, a fundraising dance is scheduled for Friday, Aug. 21 from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Renfrew Legion.

Tickets are available at Crazy Beautiful Nails and Piercings on Daniel Street in Arnprior and Norman E. Wallace Jewellers in Renfrew.

Kimberley Dunsmoore-Lough has been chosen to replace Glenn Miller at the Renfrew County public school board trustee for Arnprior and McNab-Braeside.

“We had three strong candidates and it was a very tough decision,” noted Renfrew County public school board chair Dave Shields. “We appreciate the fact we have a long-time resident of Arnprior (as trustee).”

Not only was Dunsmoor-Lough a teacher in the public school system, her three children are Arnprior District High School graduates.

“I believe I consistently demonstrated a knowledge of board policies and Ministry of Education initiatives, as well as, a deep interest in public education,” Dunsmoor-Lough said in her application.

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, July 30, 2015 19

Shawville author Luke Murphy publishes second book Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

The opening pages of Kiss & Tell feature a murder.

For the whole story to see the light of day though, it has been a long time coming for author Luke Murphy.

“It took me 15 years to write this book,” Murphy quipped from his home in Shawville.

Murphy’s debut novel, the international best-seller, Dead Man’s Hand, was published in 2012. The followup is a different crime-thriller tale titled Kiss & Tell. The novel was released on July 20 through Imajin Books.

Murphy graduated from teachers’ college in 2010 and still works when he can in Renfrew County and Western Quebec. He finished off the last month of the school year in Renfrew, so juggling writing time can take some effort.

His wife, Mélanie, was busy in the house, preparing to take over the Sears location in Shawville and adding a clothing store. There are also three daughters to look after.

Murphy was bitten by the writing bug when he started dating his wife who had to create a story for LaSalle College in Montreal. He helped out

“After I worked with my wife on her short story, I took one of the characters we created and started writing my own adventure with her,” said Murphy. The story would eventually become Kiss & Tell.

“I (first) finished it in 2000 and it stunk,” laughed Murphy. “It wasn’t good at all, I kept it on the computer and started writing another book and I ended up doing Dead Man’s Hand.

“When that was published … I

went back and pulled Kiss & Tell off the computer and revised it all for what it is now.”

Despite his thoughts of the story being bad, he saved it all these years for sentimental reasons. “It was first thing I ever wrote and a character I created with my wife. I really did like it. Once I’d taken everything I learned from the 15 years of writing and publishing, I put it into the book what we have now.”

The main protagonist of Kiss &

Tell is detective Charlene Taylor, but Murphy had actually named her Courtney in his so-called “terrible story.” He changed it because he wanted the character to have a boy nickname – Charlie, only called that by her father. The nickname comes into play within the story for a more mysterious reason.

“Charlene’s working in a maledominated industry and she’s tough as nails and she talks back and she likes to drink,” said Murphy.

In his teaching work and with his wife and three daughters at home, Murphy is surrounded by women quite often, but he was still nervous about writing with a female lead character.

“Can I write for a women’s point of view?” he asked. “Would people think I’m realistic?

I didn’t feel much pressure for Dead Man’s Hand. Nobody’s expecting anything. Nobody even knew I was writing.

“Now that I got so good reviews with Dead Man’s Hand, they say the follow-up is most important one. Can you keep those readers and get those same reviews?”

Early reviews have indicated that Murphy is on the right track. He received a message from a reader in

Georgia in the United States, praising Charlene Taylor’s strong and vulnerable character. Two readers have also given five star critiques on the Amazon website. New York Times bestselling author, Tom Green offers up praise on the front cover.

“The start of the book Charlene’s father gets murdered,” said Murphy.

“Charlene is just an officer at the time on the Los Angeles Police Department and her father is a detective when he gets killed. She gets promoted into her spot, so it’s kind of a double-edge sword. She likes the promotion, but the only reason she’s getting is because her father is murdered.”

There are two plots that carry throughout the rest of the book. The first is the murder investigation of a ULCA professor and playboy. The second is Charlene also working secretly on her father’s murder and dealing with the taunts of a killer known as the Celebrity Slayer.

Murphy is already making plans for his third novel, which he intends to be the sequel to Dead Man’s Hand.

CP-based company provides safe haven with fire suppression system tgesner@perfprint.ca

Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with the Haven, an automatic fire extinguisher from Mehoe Enterprise Inc. in Carleton Place.

The brainchild of Arnprior volunteer firefighter Matthew Perry, the Haven discharges a heat-activated MSDS-safe super-fine mix of ABC dry chemical (finer than baby powder) at operating temperatures of 57 C (135 F).

“At this temperature there is a fire in your house,” Perry said.

Perry put the Haven concept to pen and paper three years ago, and after reaching out to someone he trusted – longtime friend Michael McManus – Mehoe Enterprise Inc. was formed.

Their dream was straightforward: provide an affordable automatic fire suppression system for homes. Automatic fire suppression systems control or extinguish fires without human intervention.

Perry noted smoke detectors alert residents; however, “they do nothing to protect you.”

“Detection often isn’t enough, and new homes burn 800 per cent faster – and hotter,” he said. “The Haven, when it goes off, can provide a safe haven, a protection zone, giving people more time to evacuate.”

The Haven, which is 12 inches tall and about six inches wide, is installed into the ceiling, sliding into a hole and locked in place.

Perry noted, owing to testing (at UL Laboratories in Chicago), each unit has proven to suppress or extinguish fire in a room measuring 16 feet by 16 feet.

“In addition to residences, the Haven is ideal for restaurants and small mercantile,” he said.

Each unit costs $200 and last for 10 years. It contains one lithium-ion battery, which runs the lifespan of the unit.

Perry said the number of units required depends on the layout of your house and the amount of protection you want.

“We automatically suggest your first one should go in your kitchen, which is an area of higher fire risk,” he continued, “and our next recommendation would be your path out of the house – hallways (every eight feet).”

However, if people have a higher fear of fire, they can always install units in their bedrooms and other others.

Perry said the Haven is more cost effective than water sprinklers, “something the average homeowner can afford.”

Safety wise, the ABC dry chemical used inside the Haven is the best agent possible (similar to a fire extinguisher) and comes from Toronto.

Perry is the chief executive officer (CEO) of Mehoe Enterprise Inc. and McManus is the chief operating officer (COO). Rounding out the team is chief financial officer (CFO) Volundur ‘Wally’ Thorbjornsson and marketing director Shawn Pringle.

“It’s the best business idea I’ve seen since I started in business,” Thorbjornsson said. “When I saw the prototype, I understood right away what it would mean.”

“I knew it would change the fire prevention market,” he added, “and I knew it would save many lives.”

Insurance companies are already onboard, Perry noted.

Thorbjornsson said they will be offering discounts to their customers if they purchase the system.

“In 95 per cent of fire-related incidences, the water damage outweighs the fire damage,” Perry said.

Reaction to the Haven from other firefighters has been positive.

“They love it,” Thorbjornsson said. “A group of Ottawa firefighters has already started an installation company for this product.”

Perry noted a one-day tour of area fire stations took place, which included showing a video and the Haven prototype.

“I went to Kemptville, Brockville, Renfrew, Arnprior and McNab Braeside,” he said.

Thorbjornsson showed it to fire prevention officer

jornsson said.

The patent process was tedious and expensive.

“Mike and Matt were real champs for taking the product through the process,” Thorbjornsson said.

In regards to manufacturing the Haven, Mehoe Enterprise Inc. has aligned with E.T.M Industries Inc. in Renfrew.

According to the company website, “since 1977, E.T.M. Industries Inc. has been providing CNC Machined and Plastic Injection Submitted photo precision components and Mehoe Enterprise Inc. in Carleton Place offers an affordable automatic assemblies to the Aircraft, fire suppression system for homes – the Haven. The team behind the Space, Military, Automooperation, from left: chief financial officer Volundur ‘Wally’ Thorbjorns- tive, Mining, Telecommu-

nication and Medical industries.”

“They are a huge company,” Perry said, “and their quality control is through the roof.”

“Manufacturing will always stay in the Ottawa Valley,” Thorbjornsson said.

Mehoe Enterprise Inc.’s first run of units – 10,000 – is spoken for already.

“Our customers, landlords who have jumped on board early to protect their properties, are situated between the Ottawa Valley and Toronto,” Thorbjornsson said.

son, chief operating officer Michael McManus, founder and chief executive officer Matthew Perry and marketing director Shawn Pringle.

Richard Jackson of the Ocean Wave Fire Company in Carleton Place.

“They all understand the need for it in the market,” Perry said.

Getting started After choosing Carleton Place as the place to headquarter Mehoe Enterprise Inc., Perry and McManus met with former mayor of Carleton Place Wendy LeBlanc and former economic development co-ordinator Jasmin Ralph.

“We felt Carleton Place was a great place to be, with the four-lane highway and the projected growth,” Perry said, “and we thought it would be the best hub.”

He explained they were introduced to Thorbjornsson through Ralph, after she called the local developer “a guy who was known for his outside the box thinking.”

In early 2013, “we came to a point where we needed some help,” Perry

said, “so we signed Wally on.”

“He took us in with open arms and helped us grow the company,” he added.

Another office tenant of Thorbjornsson’s at the time was Pringle.

“I provided ongoing mentorship,” Thorbjornsson said, “and then in January 2015 I was given the opportunity to buy into the business, which I jumped on right away.”

“The concept behind the product is simple but brilliant,” he added. “I believe the business will be very successful.”

Perry said the product is needed in the market, as there is nothing like it available.

Too, there are multiple other products in the works that Mehoe Enterprise Inc. is taking through the research and development process.

“I like the value behind the company, what it stands for – to invent and produce life saving devices,” Thorb-

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, July 30, 2015 29

O Kashubia, our home and native land Johnny Kashub

Kashubia at last and the plane touches down in Gdunsk, the capital city of their ancestor’s homeland.

Eighteen people journeyed to discover their Kashubian roots in Europe.

The purpose of the trip was to connect to the Kashub land of Kashubia/Kaszebe in Europe, meet people with the same names as we have here in the Valley, visit the towns and villages and the churches where their Kashubian ancestors went to worship before immigrating to Canada in 1858, and most of all, to learn about their true heritage, which seems to be a bit clouded here at home.

The first thing they did was kiss the ground of the native soil, paying tribute to their ancestor’s homeland.

They visited the place where two Kashubian pioneer buildings from Canada now stand, the home of the longest board in the world and the famous upside down house at Szymbark Kashubian Park.

They experienced visiting museums showing the artifacts from all over Kashubia and they saw the resemblance of the furniture we have here in the Wilno, Barry’s Bay and Round Lake area.

All the furniture was influenced by the Kashubian style from Kashubia.

They were part of a very special mass in Lepusz where, as special guests they were asked to be seated at the front and were greeted by Father Ostrowsczi and Father Szulest and the whole parish. Lepusz is the village where most of our ancestors lived before immigrating.

They also visited the towns and churches in Kalisz, Parchowo, Wiele, Brusy and Lesno, the other communities where many came from.

They witnessed a twinning agreement between the Township of Lepusz and the Township of Madawaska Valley.

The council of Lepusz accepted the request from the Madawaska Valley which was sent last fall to them to get ratified. We now have a twin

in Kashubia.

They visited the town of Zukowo where they presented our five Kashubian embroidery pieces from Canada’s Kaszebe. Joyce Lorbetsko, one of our teachers was on this trip and organized the presentation.

The works of Bethany Kluke, April Lundy, Julius Etmanskie, Brady Cybulskie and Hunter Dombroskie are now on displayed at the Museum in Zukowo. Later they sailed on a pirate ship on the Gdunsk canal, where they saw the site where the Solidarity Movement started at the Gdunsk shipyards, and the monument at Westerplatte, the site where the Second World War broke out.

They visited Malbork and Bytow Castles which was the home of the Teutonic Knights who ruled over the Kashub lands between 1308 and 1466.

They went to Hel and back and saw the farthest point in the Baltic Sea where the Kashub lands of Kaszebe starts. They celebrated a strawberry festival in Kartuzy and the annual Kashubian Festival in Reda where they were in a parade representing the Kashubs of Canada.

The festival was a celebration of the Kashub people, the Kashubian culture and identity, and most of all the Kashub homeland of Kaszebe.

Highlighting the trip, they learned some Kashubian history.

They found out what a Kashub is, what is Kashubian and what is the name of the homeland.

All their lives they have been told that they were Polish and of Polish heritage, and the language they spoke was a dialect of the Polish language (or a form of Low Polish) and the homeland of their ancestors was Poland and to find out that none of the above was true.

They found out that they are Kashubs, a Slavic people on the Baltic Sea, their language is Kashubian, a Slavic language that stands on its own, and the home and native land is Kashubia in Europe (Kaszebe na Europa).

Company featured on Dragon’s Den With the producers of CBC’s Dragons’ Den visiting more than 30 communities in early 2015 to discover the brightest business ideas in the country, the men of Mehoe Enterprise Inc. travelled to Ottawa on Feb. 8 to pitch the Haven.

“Personally, I didn’t want to do it,” Perry noted.

“However, marketing wanted to give it a try.”

After all, “it couldn’t hurt fiscally,” he added.

Proving they had the chops to land financial backing for their business venture, “we were picked to go to Toronto and make our pitch to the Dragons,” the CEO said.

Everyone made the trip, with the exception of Thorbjornsson.

Due to a nondisclosure agreement, Perry is not able to reveal the outcome; however, he referred to the experience as educational and great.

“I am so glad we took this once in a lifetime opportunity,” he said. “And the treatment we received was awesome.”

The group shot for the

upcoming season of Dragons’ Den; however, even if they make it on air, they won’t find out until two weeks prior.

Perry is currently on a medical leave from his firefighting duties.

“I slipped on ice and my air pack hit my knee, blowing out all the cartilage and tearing my MCL (medial collateral ligament) and ACL (anterior cruciate ligament),” he said.

“I am one surgery in and going for another,” he added.

Although Perry can no longer run into a burning building, which greatly bothers him, “I can still fight fires with the Haven.”

“I am very excited to see this business grow and flourish in the community,” Thorbjornsson said, “and I am hoping it will inject some positive energy into the local economy, inspiring others to see the potential in running a global business from this little town.”

“Every once in a while it catches me,” Perry said of what he and his partners have been able to ac-

complish. “I get emotional, especially with (what happened at) the Dragons’ Den.” Two of Perry’s biggest fans: sons Jakob, 13, and eight-year-old Josh.

“They are proud of their dad,” Perry said with a smile. “They love going to the website and showing their buddies.”

Plus, “they’ve both decided they are going to take over when I retire,” he added.

Financial difficulties and debt stress can affect people from all walks of life. At Doyle Salewski, our professional credit counsellors can help you put your finances in order and achieve a debt-free future – all while treating you with respect, dignity and compassion.

Debt

A bi-weekly guide on how to manage debt

At Doyle Salewski, we help people just like you every day.

Q: I saw and ad the other day for something called “credit counseling”. It caught my eye because I am carrying a lot of debt and don’t know where to turn.The company guaranteed they could negotiate a deal with my creditors and fix my credit score quickly. It almost sounds too good to be true.They provided a 1-800 number but no street address so I don’t know where they are located.What should I do?

Canadians are carrying more debt than ever and are looking for answers. Many are in a desperate situation but continue to hope a solution will fall from the sky. Many have signed up for a debt management plan, have paid thousands of dollars in fees and are no further ahead. This vulnerable and fragile group needs to remove the rose colored glasses otherwise they will not see the train coming. Lurking around every corner are some credit counseling agencies looking to take advantage and make a quick buck.

Credit counseling and debt management programs are largely unregulated and are not endorsed by the government. Although the government made some progress recently and put in place some new regulations limiting credit counseling fees and clarifying contract terms, by and large, credit counseling is still very much a “buyer beware” landscape. Credit counseling agencies cannot guarantee that your creditors will participate in the program nor can they stop collections or court claims. Any debt management program you sign up for will negatively affect your credit score.

Licensed Trustees in Insolvency and Restructuring are government regulated, professionally trained and offer legislated programs that protect consumers with too much debt. We have the power and tools to immediately stop collections, court claims and bailiff notices/requests. We have the experience and training to provide

practical advice, useful counseling customized for each individual and structure affordable payment terms. Most individuals do not have to resort to bankruptcy if they contact us soon enough.

Talking about your financial situation is not easy. We understand that. As soon as you call or meet with one of our Trustees and counselors, you will be treated with respect, courtesy and dignity. We have earned the trust of each and every client we have helped since 1996. Once you have an account with Doyle Salewski, every dollar you deposit will be accounted for and reported to you, your creditors and the government. We are accountable for the results.

If you read an ad and it seems too good to be true, it is. That’s just good advice.

Doyle Salewski has launched a series of short but very informative videos. The most recent release is entitled: “Know your debt options”. Please visit our web site to view them and let us know what you think.

If you are burdened with debt stress, asking for sound advice is a sign of strength and the smart thing to do. Asking sooner rather than later is always better. Call Doyle Salewski today for your free, no obligation consultation.

You’ll be glad you did.

‘I want to come back out here every year’ Hot shots at Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A SkiAbility clinic at Burnstown Beach gave Community Living clients a chance to get out on the water on July 26.

SkiAbility Ottawa has been partnering with Community Living for a decade to give clients the opportunity to test out their sea legs while water skiing, wakeboarding, or using an aqua plane – a board that allows people to lie down, kneel or stand.

“It’s one of the best things to happen to the community,” said Allan Yull, with Community Living. “It brings them out of themselves. They find confidence they didn’t know they had; they find skills they didn’t know they had. The excitement and positive attitude feed off each other.”

Nine people attended the clinic held at Burnstown Beach.

Renfrew’s Tom Welch said he’s already looking forward to getting back on water skis at next year’s clinic.

“It was fun,” he said.

Geraldine Prince, of Renfrew, said she had a great time on the aqua plane after getting over the initial fear.

“I want to come back out here every year,” she said. “(It’s) scary the first time but I go with the flow. I have people around me. You’ve got your life jacket on; you’re doing good out there.”

All levels

SkiAbility Ottawa works with people with any type of disability, at any age and experience level, said facilitator Ross Holden. The organization has training boards up to competitive level apparatuses, and works with novices to those who compete at the world class level.

“Our priorities are safety, fun and learning,” he said. “If we push them to be the best they can be it shows what they can do.” For more, visit skiabilityotJessica Cunha/Metroland tawa.ca or email Info@SkiAbil- Tom Welch waves while water skiing with SkiAbility Ottawa on July ityOttawa.ca.

Dragonfly links Dragonfly Golf Links

Who doesn’t love Fridays? Well, Dragonfly member Chris Bacon and Dragonfly Pro Shop staff member David Pratt started their weekends off with a hole in one – both on Friday July 24!

Bacon used a eight iron from 127 yards on the fifth hole, and Pratt used a PW from 125 yards on the seventh hole.

After a tumultuous week of weather the week before all of our leagues returned to normal.

Tuesday night Men’s League was a great race this week with great scores from the team from Dragonfly Golf Links and Ray’s Flowers finishing with a tie second with a net score of 104.5, and the team from VAC (Valley Automation and Controls) at the top of the heap with a net score of 103.75 Closest to the pin winners were Butch Brown and Kenneth Renick on #13 and #18 respectively.

Runner up from Wednesday’s Men’s League were the Mountain Men with a score of 108.25.

First place with a great score of 104.5 were the Yolkowkie Hackers. Closest to the pin on #13 was Jesse Riopelle, and closest to the pin on #18 was Brian Brydges.

Two great scores stood out from the rest on Thursday’s Ladies League with team Second Chance coming out on top with a scintillating score of 30. Coming a close second (to Second Chance) were the Tee Time Girls with a score of 31.5. Closest to the Pin on #5 was Sherri Lynn Shalla and closest to the pin on #7 was Irene Nichols.

Congrats to all our hot shots!

Nathan Blok hot at 2015 F2000 championship

BOWSE AND BL For Nathan Blok, the 21-year old, two-time Formula Tour Series Champion, the 2015 F2000 championship heated up as much as the asphalt at the Shannonville Motorsports racetrack this past weekend in his #88 Tenaquip / Aurora Tools / Zenith Safety car. The seventh and eighth rounds of the F2000 Canada championship continued under brutally hot and humid conditions during the inaugural running of the Bay of Quinte Grand Prix event. This is the first time Blok has raced at this track near Belleville, ON, and due to budget constraints had only five laps of practise on Friday in the rain on slicks.

In the qualifying session on Saturday morning, despite little practise Blok qualified third with .7 of a second separating the top three cars.

The first F2000 Canada feature race of the weekend (race seven of 12) saw temperatures hotter than on Friday. Blok had a good start maintaining his third place position into corner one. Aaron Pettipas started to pull out an early lead, while Blok was all over Chase Pellietier challenging for second. On lap three, being pressured by Blok, Chase went off track. Blok took advantage diving past and securing second place.

By the next lap Blok had caught up to Pettipas. For the next 12-laps it was a constant battle for first place. Pettipas would pull away on the straight with Blok catching up on the technical areas of the track. Despite numerous passing attempts and side by side action in the corners, Blok was unable to make his attempts stick and was still in second place when the yellow flag flew due to a car stopping just off track. This was great news for Pelletier as he was able to make up the 10-second gap and was now challenging Blok for second.

When the green flag flew with only five minutes to go, Blok right on Pettipas’s gear box he continued to fight for the lead, making a last

Nathan Blok is in the #88 F2000 at Shannonville Motorsports Park. attempt in the final 2 corners. He was unsuccessful and the race ended with Blok in second place behind Aaron Pettipas, with Chase Pelletier taking third.

“I had the pace to keep up to Aaron and pass him, but Shannonville is a very difficult track to pass in one of these cars. I was almost able to make room on several occasions going into the final two corners. Aaron was able to get on the power sooner than I was, but it was a very closely matched race” Sunday’s race saw temperatures a bit higher along with increased humidity. This time Blok qualified second, with less than .3 of a second separating him from pole sitter Aaron Pettipas.

When the green flag flew Pettipas held the advantage through the opening corners with Blok and Pelletier close behind. On corner three, Pelletier attempted a bold move on the

Sandra Blok/submitted

inside, but was unable to pull it off and his front wheel touched Nathan’s rear wheel. This slight contact was not felt by Blok, but unfortunately did some damage to Pelletier’s car and he was forced to pit to have an adjustment made before continuing on.

Round 8 of the F2000 Canada Champion-

ship was almost a carbon copy of Saturday’s race with Pettipas getting the advantage on the straights and Nathan getting him back on the corners and challenging for the lead. At the end of the race Blok started to lose his tires and Pettipas started to gradually pull away. The race finished in the same order as Saturday, with Blok bringing home another second-place finish for the weekend and moving him into the lead of the F2000 Canada championship.

“My race with Aaron for first was just as intense as the day before, but I began to lose tires by the end. Even the cockpit adjustments weren’t solving the issue, but I still gave it my all and kept up to the races end. The Tenaquip/Aurora Tools/Zenith car was incredible all weekend, and I owe a big thanks to Britain West Motorsports for setting up an awesome car. It was also a pleasure to race in Shannonville. I go to school not far from here, and it was a pleasure to see many of my college friends in the stands this weekend” Rounds nine and 10 are scheduled for Aug. 29 and 30 at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park and Blok is hoping to be able to secure enough funding to allow him to maintain his lead in the championship.

Brett Walk raises an estimated $25,000 for hockey player Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

A warm and sunny day and nearly 15 hours of walking managed to raise about $25,000 for injured Junior B hockey player Brett Nugent.

The funds are going towards the goal of about $75,000 to buy a wheelchair accessible vehicle, which will help Nugent as he is heading to Carleton University in the fall.

Donald Byrne may not have covered the 67 kilometres he originally envisioned when he launched his campaign for Nugent - or even 60 km - but the number really isn’t significant overall. Byrne still walked from Alymer to Shawville on July 4.

“We started out from Aylmer at 6:20 a.m.,” said Byrne. “Brett joined us on an ATV. We arrived at the Shawville arena at approximately 9 p.m. to a great crowd of supporters.

“My Fitbit showed I had walked 49.9 km. My friend from Calgary, Ralph Hindle, felt his GPS was more accurate and was of the opinion I had walked closer to 53 kilometres.”

Hindle did the fundraising walks for Oxfam in Ottawa with Byrne

KAREN CAMPBELL/SUBMITTED

The Alymer to Shawville walk for Brett Nugent had the finish line at the Shawville arena parking lot on July 4. Nugent is surrounded by some of the supporters and walkers of the day. when they were teenagers and decided to join him. There were even

several walkers who went 60 km and beyond.

“They are to be commended,” said Byrne.

Nugent’s parents, Jim and Cathy, hosted a barbecue at their home around the 25-km mark. It gave a few walkers a finish line and for some it was a nice breather from the heat.

Nugent stuck it out for the entire distance as well and in general he was quite happy with the outcome of the day.

“It was great to see so many people come out and join, as well as all the support that was given,” said Nugent.

“I was pretty impressed with everyone who was able to finish and to those who made it as far as they did.

It was pretty special feeling showing up and seeing all the faces there that wanted to do (the walk) and the greeting we got at the finish line was unreal.”

The $25,000 number will likely change in the days ahead as cheques and email transfers are still being received. The website brettwalk.com is slated to remain open for online donations until the goal is reached.

“Brett (has) a great attitude,” said Byrne. “Everyone who participated in the walk and all the supporters were pleased to assist him.”

The Lumber Kings will also take on the Hawkesbury Hawks and Brockville Braves on the league’s opening weekend, before playing three more road games in advance of their home opener.

The Lumber Kings first game at the Pembroke Memorial Centre will be on Sunday, Sept. 20 against longtime rival, the Smiths Falls Bears.

The opener will be a 7 p.m. start and will be preceded by a tail-gate party in the PMC parking lot that will include a barbecue, live entertainment and children’s games.

Team owner and head coach Dale McTavish is looking forward to the start of the season. “We have a strong nucleus of players returning from last year’s club and the coaching staff was very pleased with the talent of the players that participated in our summer development camp. We are excited to start training camp and look forward to putting a great team on the ice for our loyal fans,” said McTavish.

They found out that it was the same in Kashubia before 1989 where Kashubs were suppressed by the Polish governments and were told that they are Polish and that was the end of the story.

There were some Kashubs in Kashubia who said they were punished for speaking Kashubian in Polish schools system. They were not allowed to fly the Kashubian national flag before 1989. The group also visited the site where the Kashubian flag was pulled down from masts by the Polish People Republic on August 18, 1929 at the founding Congress of the Kashubian Regional Union in Kartuzy.

They found out that Poland is only the government, just like Prussia/ Germany was the government when our ancestors left Kashubia Europe in 1858. They all wondered why the hill between Hopefield and Barry’s Bay on the Opeongo Line was called the Prussian Hills.

Now they know, our ancestors were politically Prussians. Had nothing to do with Poland or anything Polish, yet we were labelled as such.

Kashubia is not a region in the Country of Poland but the home and native land of their Kashubian ancestors in Europe. Today Kashubs in Kashubia are Polish politically because they are governed by Polish Parliament. They are proud to serve the Polish country and are ready to fight and die for their Slavic cousins. Two nations ready to defend their homelands.

and even Sweden, that ruled and governed them in the past. This history is what inspired Daniel Czapiewsczi to build the upside down house.

He wanted to shake everything up and start

all over again. He wanted to see Kashubs rise and the Kashubian identity saved and the truth told through Kashubian history books and not Polish, German books or others.

It is time to start teaching our youth the real story - by the Kashubs, for the Kashubian culture, for the whole world to enjoy. The whole group all agreed – we need to teach our youth Kashubian history in our local schools.

They participated in a mass celebrated at the church in Sianowo which is the home of the Blessed Mother of Sianowo, Queen of Kashubia.

This was all new to them, because all their lives they were told that the Blessed Mother of Czestochowa was the blessed icon representing their people and to find out it represents the small Polish immigration who came after the Kashubs in 1860s and not the Kashubs who came in 1858.

This was all new found history for all of them and when the trip was over, they all stood proud and tall of their new discovery.

Proud to be Kashub and very proud that they discovered their true identity. When kissing the native soil of Kashubia, the perfect place was in front of the upside down house at Daniel’s place.

O Kashubia, our home and native land, may God keep the Kashub land strong and free.

Wiedno Kaszebe i na wiedno Kaszebi – Always Kashubia and forever Kashub.

Scion Canada has announced it is expanding its presence across country, with over 50 new Scion dealerships opening in Canada by July 2, 2015.

This includes a new Scion dealership in Renfrew, embedded in the existing George Jackson Toyota dealership at 159 Garden of Eden Rd. The expansion means that almost 60 per cent of Toyota dealerships in Canada will have dedicated Scion displays.

With five unique models to choose from, Scion Canada brings Canadians an affordable lineup backed by Toyota, built by passion and dedicated to quality, style and substance with choices like the tC and FR-S, as well as the soon to be available Scion iM five-door hatchback.

It is clear that over the last century, women’s fashion has been constantly evolving, arguably becoming more revealing with each passing decade.

For most of history, women would generally be seen wearing long, mostly plain skirts or dresses. It was abnormal for a woman to show her legs, chest, or even her shoulders. Fashion remained relatively conservative until the 1920s, when the ‘flapper girl’ period began.

‘Flapper girl’, or ‘flapper’ is a term used to describe an eccentric young woman in the 1920s. The word compares a young woman to a ‘young bird that can flap its wings, but cannot yet fly.’ These women wore short skirts and excessive makeup, drank alcohol and smoked cigarettes, gambled, and engaged in ‘non-feminine’ behaviour.

They were considered a new-breed of women. They impacted politics, women’s rights, and so much more.

Fashion, in particular has been greatly influenced by these flapper girls.

Garnering slam honours were the following teams: Gillian and Mac Wilson, Jeannie Yagminas and Audrey Jukes, Joni Fine and Gord McArthur, Sharon and Tom Sewter, Sue Phillips and Steve Gray, and the team of Bob Bouchard and Garry Irving.

Congratulations to the July 22 winners: North-South: Joni Fine and Gord McArthur; Jeannie Yagminas and Audrey Jukes; Ernie Berndt and Eric Brown.

East-West: Sue Phillips and Steve Gray; Bob Bouchard and Garry Irving; Sharon Sewter and Tom Sewter.

Players filled 10 tables for duplicate bridge at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre July 22. Organizers credit optimum weather conditions, the relaxed atmosphere, and a superb venue for the impressive July turnout.

The afternoon’s Chalk Talk had Carol Sulpher continuing her illustration of the 2 Over 1 system favoured by David and herself. The helpful handout reviewed an earlier session, which concentrated on the opening bidder and this lesson, which dealt with the partner’s response. Players seated north complained of their poor cards, yet north-south teams had their share of small slams.

46 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, July 30, 2015

Bluebirds stay, go and then return to region Larraine and Mitch Eddie had a pair of bluebirds nesting in one of their new bird boxes but the birds did not stay to finish the job.

A mated pair has now arrived and is looking at the nest box.

They may raise a brood before the end of August.

Bluebirds will fledge up to three broods in a season if the location is well protected and there is a very good food source close by.

After the final brood has fledged the adults will go to a well protected area, usually away from the nesting site, where they can rest and moult.

Egg laying, nest building and feeding young until they are independent demands large amounts of energy.

Damaged and worn feathers must be replaced and any weight loss must be replenished in preparation for the trip south.

Very often a family group will arrive at the nest box, inspect it inside and out and may place some nesting material inside as well.

This behaviour will give them the opportunity to imprint on the location so that when they return in the spring they will recognize it and nest in the area

JIM FERGUSON Scene from the Hawk’s Eye if not in the nest box.

Turkey talk

Hi Jim and Ila: I thought our neighbourhood turkey hen had failed to find a mate or that her eggs had been devoured by a wily fox, but my daughter snapped a picture of her and another hen, each with a clutch of poults following them.

I think they’ve been eating my wild black raspberries.

I saw them again last night, but despite seeming to be just walking along, they are difficult to catch on film when trying to get a better picture. Good birding. Brian Eady.

Thank you for the email Brian. It makes you wonder which of the two is the most wily the foxes or the turkeys. Broods will join together for protection and to locate food. The more eyes the better. ​Hi Jim and Ila,

I think I have only one lonely little male hummingbird, is that possible?

It seems all my other birds such as tree swallows nest, fledge and leave, same with catbirds and brown thrashers, where do they go?

Blue jays, purple finches and an odd young grosbeak have returned to my feeders.

I was at a cottage on Norcan Lake a few weeks ago and heard more than one whip-poor-will calling. They have been there for a few years now. Good birding. Terry Cunningham.

Terry, as I have mentioned above the birds go to a well protected, quiet location away from other birds to replenish their energy and moult when they have no other duties to perform.

It may take a few weeks for them to moult or in the case of large birds it may take almost a year.

The fall moult is a major one.

Migratory birds must grow new feathers for the trip to their wintering grounds and the resident birds must prepare for winter.

Adult birds replace all their feathers at least once a year some twice.

If the flight feathers are replaced the birds cannot fly

therefore they must remain well if not cared for.

NOTICE

Fred English saw an injured hawk on the road in the village at Foymount; it may have been a sharp-shinned.

It was an immature bird and it had very likely struck a wire while hunting. Immature birds have limited hunting skills and very often become so focused on their target they strike a window, a hydro line or a guy wire.

Should the encounter result in a broken wing the bird will starve

Connected to your community

Audrey had specific ritual for special prayers For reasons unknown to me at the time, my older sister Audrey, when she had special prayers she felt needed to be sent to God, insisted I kneel with her on the braided rug beside our bed. These were prayers over and above those we had already said at our Mother’s knee at bedtime.

I dared to ask Audrey one time why her special prayers couldn’t be included then, and her short retort made it perfectly clear why.

“Certainly not. That’s all I need is for Emerson to hear what my special prayers were and all of Renfrew County would know about them before the sun set the next day.”

And so, when the need arose, I was asked to join Audrey on the braided rug, and when I asked her why she couldn’t pray on her own, she said she learned at Sunday School that there was ‘safety in numbers.’ I had no idea what she meant. But Audrey, who did many special favours for me, had a willing partner on the braided rug when she needed it. Questioning the whys and the wherefores was not to concern me.

And so, I found myself praying with Audrey for things that had nothing to do with me whatsoever. This could be anything from being allowed to wear high heels, to finding money for a store-bought bra, to being asked to go to the strawberry social at the United Church. I thought that last prayer was pushing her luck,

More than once I was caught with my mind somewhere else too. Audrey had always instructed me to keep close attention to what she was saying, and I was to repeat the prayer silently to myself. I can no longer remember what the

BY MARY COOK prayer was about, but my mind certainly was not on what Ausince we were Lutherans, but there we were drey was praying for that night.

My sister poked me in the ribs, which was one night, both on our knees by the bed, and Audrey in barely a whisper, asking God to find my cue to say, ‘please God, hear our prayer.’ someone to ask her to the strawberry social at As soon as Audrey’s elbow connected with me, I tried in vain to remember what we had been the United Church.

Well, any doubts I may have been harbour- praying for, and for the life of me, couldn’t ing were soon cast aside when a young man bring up one word Audrey had said. She had to from the Barr Side Road asked her to the so- repeat the prayer, which didn’t please her one cial! I couldn’t believe it! And Audrey leaned bit.

Audrey’s prayers could be long, depending over to me after hanging up the phone and said, on what she had on her ‘want list.’ That’s when “See...safety in numbers.”

Long before Audrey got out of public I lost track of what she was praying for. I could school, we prayed that when the time came, see no reason why she had to go into such deshe would graduate from the Entrance Class. tail with her prayers, convinced as I was that, Well, I thought that was a needless prayer, as long as you let God know it was you, He since she was just about the smartest one at the would take care of the rest...all you had to do, Northcote School! But she wanted to be sure, I thought then, was to think of the prayer and as those farm girls who didn’t make it out of that was as good as saying it. However, I was the Entrance Class, ended up doing housework never able to get Audrey into that way of thinkfor the rich people in Renfrew. Audrey couldn’t ing about prayer.

She said too, it would be much better, if after think of a worse fate!

Mary Cook’s Memories

the prayers were over, we both said “Amen” at the exact same time. I thought this was just another way of my sister making sure I was paying attention to what she was praying for.

And then one night, the end of our praying together just about came to an end. That was the night Audrey was praying at great length, about what, I no longer remember. She had come to a pause, and it was long enough for me to think we were all finished, and so I let out a loud “Amen.” Well, did that open a can of worms. Audrey said she was just pausing, she wasn’t finished, and I had jumped the gun with the Amen, and so we had to say the prayer all over again.

My sister eventually came to the conclusion that unless I was listening, paying attention, repeating the prayers where necessary, she was better off if she prayed alone. That was a good decision, I thought. It didn’t stop Audrey from getting down on the rug in front of our bed when the need arose.

It just meant that what she was saying and thinking was between her and God, and she didn’t need a fidgeting six-year-old sister to interfere.
