News - The recreation committee in Douglas was looking for a way to raise funds for its various pursuits, including summer volleyball, softball and a winter rink program. And they found it.

Following the community’s second straight successful St. Patrick’s Day parade last March, members of the committee decided there was enough local spirit to make a go of a St. Paddy’s Day in July.

With the help of numerous musicians who volunteered their time, organizers were able to host a 1 p.m. to 1 a.m. venue that included the sale of food and beverages, and entertainment from start to finish, inside the Douglas rink boards.

The last railway spike to be removed in The Pontiac ... maybe Transport Pointiac-Renfrew

News - Despite documented proof that substantial business opportunities exist, CN has announced plans to remove one of the last sections of the Beachburg Subdivision from Portage du Fort, Quebec to a point east of Fitzroy Harbour, Ont. According to Harry Gow and Terry Gibeau, co-chairs of Transport Pontiac-Renfrew (TPR), “The region has worked long and hard for the re-creation of a short-line railway that would convey the products and the commuters of the upper Ottawa Valley to destinations outside the region, but current developments are making this hard to achieve.”

The first section of CN line removal was completed this spring as the section from Pembroke to Portage du Fort was lifted cutting off the struggling-to-reopen ATC panel board plant in Pembroke. The ATC facility has rail infrastructure into the plant and shipping literally from the plant’s back door would have been cost-effective.

An advisory of CN’s latest intentions from Francois Hébert, Vice President Network Strategies, was received by TPR on July 22nd. The letter states in part, “(CN) held off removing the remaining 40 miles of rail … because there were indications that a new customer would begin transporting aggregate over this portion of the line … (but) we have been advised by the customer that this business opportunity will not materialize.”

Gow commented that “while TPR is not a

party to the details of these negotiations, the freight rates charged by CN are in our experience significantly higher than those charged by a short line railway, such as the former Ottawa Central Railway which operated the line before CN bought it back, and that is what keeps shippers from using this line.”

Gibeau added that “CN had ignored pleas to keep the line to Pembroke as ATC Panels will restart production there, and needed the line to move its products to market. TPR then worked on an alternative for ATC, which would have given it an opportunity to use the railway from Portage with a transfer from trucks.” The letter contained no reference to ATC’s planned ramp-up and new business potential.

Both Gow and Gibeau have asked the three levels of government to intervene. Of these, only the municipal level has so far acted with the municipalities in MRC Pontiac zoning the land of the railway as for railway use only.

TPR urges the municipalities to ensure that their zoning is respected by CN. This measure had previously saved the CPR line from Hull to Montreal, when the municipalities of MRC Papineau zoned the line, now operated by the Québec Gatineau Railway, a regional line.

Gow and Gibeau reiterated, “Concerted action can save the Pontiac’s railway, but it will require swift and decisive action by all concerned” Transport Pontiac-Renfrew is a community railway-based organization with offices in Campbell’s Bay, Quebec. Visit: www.tranportpontiac-renfrew.ca

The dam rehabilitation will involve both resurfacing of the existing concrete structures in the water, and installing a new water intake system. The work will require sealing off the construction area from the river. This will be achieved through building of a coffer dam and installation of temporary structures to protect the workers. The above picture shows the partially completed coffer dam which is being constructed using materials imported from an offsite quarry. The dam rehabilitation will be completed in two phases, half this year, and the remainder in 2014.

The canal repairs will involve removal and replacement of deteriorated concrete on the outside wall of the structure. The canal has been temporarily filled in to allow for construction access to the canal wall from above.

The canal will be modified to connect it to a new control gate structure and penstocks to deliver water to the new power house located further downstream beside the lower plant. The picture shows excavation in the parking lot area of the RPG site.

News - Renfrew Power Generation has launched the Thomas Low Generating Station project.

This project will redevelop the Renfrew site at Bridge Street with a new power plant and water conveyance infrastructure and rehabilitate the existing canal and dam.

The project is an important one for both RPG and the Town of Renfrew.

It essentially completely replaces and renews the aging infrastructure that is at the end

of its functional life. It will result in increased production of green energy in the Town, inject significant stimulus into the local economy and provide increased revenues to the Town once costs are recovered.

Construction started June 10.

The construction is currently focussed on three areas: • dam rehabilitation; • canal repairs and modification; and • relocation of sewer and water services at Raglan and Mutual streets.

This is the first of twice monthly updates.

The next update will be in The Renfrew Mercury’s Thursday, Aug. 22 edition.

Other inquiries can be addressed to TLGSinfo@renfrewpg.ca

“We were hoping to raise some money,” said committee member Brennan Trainor, who helped co-ordinate the entertainment program.

“There is all this local music, and it’s remarkable to see all these people come out to hear them. We hoped for a good family turnout, and that’s what we got,” said Trainor while looking around at the more than 200 people in attendance late afternoon.

Grounding-breaking ceremony for OPG expansion

Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Business - Construction will start shortly, following yesterday’s ground-breaking ceremony for Ontario Power Generation’s new 20,000-square-foot building in Renfrew.

The opening took place after the Mercury’s press deadline, but participants scheduled to attend the golden-shovel event included representatives from Ontario Power Generation, Renfrew town council, and participating businesses M. Sullivan & Son of Arnprior, GRC Architects of Ottawa, Jp2G of Pembroke and Grant A. Crozier of Renfrew.

Speeches were also scheduled from various dignitaries, including MPP John Yakabuski and MP Cheryl Gallant.

The project manager and property landlord

for the project is Wilson Investments of Renfrew Ltd. Ontario Power Generation’s current Renfrew office at 2 Innovation Drive is about 6,000 square feet, but the new building allows significant expansion at the same address.

Mack Wilson is the owner of Wilson Investments, whose project manager Lorraine Laframboise summarized the scope of the project at Wednesday’s ground-breaking ceremony.

Within a week, work will begin on the new building, following almost a year of correspondence with head office, town officials and professionals in the construction field.

“I am extremely excited about this project and look forward to having Ontario Power Generation as tenants,” said Wilson.

“I would like to thank everyone involved in this project, (from) start to finish.”

Chamber eyes future with optimism Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Her last day on the job was May 24, which happened to also be the last day of Ruth Sabourin’s Job Creation Program contract as the chamber’s events co-ordinator.

“It just worked out that way,” said Campbell.

Sabourin was then hired as

interim manager, on a threemonth contract.

Her duties have included co-ordinating the organization’s inaugural Wolves’ Den Entrepreneurship Valley Style, and developing a new job description for the Chamber of Commerce’s position of manager.

Wilson Investments backs doctor recruitment

Chamber of Commerce

Renfrew and Area Health Services Village

Continued from page 4

The Renfrew and Area Health Services Village Doctor Recruitment fundraising campaign has received a ringing endorsement from (Mack) Wilson Investments Ltd., along with a pledge for ongoing financial support.

The latest corporate sponsor to come forward and donate funds to support the ongoing recruitment of physicians to Renfrew & Area made it clear his reasons for doing so are in the interest of economic development and in support of the great leadership shown by the municipalities who make up the Renfrew & Area Health Services Village board – Admaston-Bromley, Greater-Madawaska, Horton and Renfrew.

Wilson said it’s a “significant� pledge over several years. “Every new doctor who comes to live and practise in this town brings with him or her $1 million of increased economic activity in the form of real estate, consumable goods, employment opportunities and local investments.

This is a huge stimulant to our growth as a community and bodes well for our future. “I encourage all private and corporate citizens to support this important initiative,� he said.

Fundraising campaign chair Karen Maxwell of Renfrew Home Hardware Building Centre praised Wilson for his support and foresight.

A CORNERSTONE OF LOCAL ECONOMY

“Mack Wilson Investments has been a cornerstone of our local economic base for many years, and we welcome Mack’s support for our campaign, value his insight into our local economy and admire his commitment to the wellbeing of his community,� said Maxwell.

A founding director and chairperson of the Health Services Village board, Admaston-Bromley Mayor Raye-Ann Briscoe expressed her gratitude: “With this generous donation to our Village, Mack Wilson, a long-time community leader, continues to set the example of real commitment

Every new doctor who comes to live and practise in this town brings with him or her $1 million of increased economic activity. I encourage all private and corporate citizens to support this important initiative (of physician recruitment).

- MACK WILSON OF WILSON INVESTMENTS LTD.

by investing in, strengthening and creating opportunities to build our local economy.�

The Renfrew & Area Health Services Village, which was established in October 2010, has recruited to date seven physicians to practice and live in the local “village�.

Of those seven, five are practising locally, with two physicians, Dr. Daniel Duggan and Dr. Angela Varrin, scheduled to begin within two years. Recruitment of seven more doctors continues, and with public and corporate support will be accomplished in the next few years. Donors may contact Shannon through the RAHSV at 432-3328, visit www.renfrewareahealthvillage.ca, or contact Karen Maxwell at k.maxwell@bellnet.ca or by calling 432-8874.

Campbell says the pay scale is reasonable, and the job interesting and challenging. The Chamber’s member businesses number more than 200 in Renfrew and area, but he says the organization has plans for much higher numbers. “We make sure business’s voice is represented,� said Campbell.

And he says that will continue, in large part, through the efforts of the board of directors and the manager. “Basically, the new person (hired as manager) is going to be the hub as we work with the municipality, the Business Improvement Area and the Renfrew Industrial Commission.�

The Chamber has begun a recruitment campaign for the new manager. “When we get the right person, he or she will allow the volunteers of the chamber to be more effective. A good executive can be even better with this person on board.�

As Campbell says: “We’re really excited about the chance to hire someone with a job description that’s tailored to now and into our future.�

Key Chamber events include the

Wolves’ Den; the local Mayors’ Breakfast with heads of council from Renfrew, Admaston-Bromley, Horton and Greater Madawaska; and its annual awards gala, whose date has been changed to coincide with Small Business Week in October.

The chamber will also co-ordinate a municipal election debate or town hall meeting. The election takes place Oct. 27, 2014. “We’re definitely going to take an effective role to clarify what candidates’ platforms actually mean,� said Campbell. “We’re doing this so the public can better understand what the candidates can do for business and for other sectors of the community.�

Whether it’s forums or other events, Campbell says the chamber’s task remains unchanged. “We believe our job is to help facilitate communication and progress among businesses and government and the public,� he explains. “We’re a facilitator, but we make sure the businesses’ voice is heard, because if we don’t have a thriving economy, then where are we?

Campbell says the chamber expects to hire the new manager this month.

Top O’ the Morning to you. And afternoon.

The Top O’ the Morning cafe in Douglas is ready to greet you in person mornings and afternoons Wednesday to Sunday, but meanwhile they’re working on ways to introduce themselves to a growing customer base online.

To help them in their effort to create a strong online presence, the business has been awarded $1,750.

Last week Community Futures Development Renfrew County community development officer David Wybour and the group’s chairman Darrell Ryan visited the Douglas business to join Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant for the funding announcement.

Top O’ the Morning owner Brian McNish explained plans to use the money to expand the cafe’s social media and online marketing presence. Aside from a strong local clientele, McNish said an important segment of his customer base travels from Ottawa, some of whom like to plan their stops before they leave the city.

The cafe is located on Highway 60 and is a logical stop for people travelling through the village to cottage country, Algonquin Park and points beyond.

“The money will establish the restaurant’s internet and social media presence by creating a website designed specifically to showcase the menu and draw travellers to the business via the smartphone applications now used by consumers to locate dining opportunities” Gallant said in a July 29 news release.

“I am delighted that Top O’ the Morning Cafe has qualified for Eastern Ontario Development Program funding. This café, while situated in a historic building on Highway 60 in Douglas, will have the leading edge marketing tools to connect with the consumers of this era.

The warm hospitality is typical of this friendly community.

“More people stopping in for a bite to eat or an ice cream treat on the way to Algonquin Park will provide greater exposure to other businesses in the community as well,” said Gallant. “I wish Brian and Angie the best in their future endeavours.”

ing growth and new challenges to remain strong,” said Gallant.

“The ETM workforce has over 100 employees with stable employment,” she noted.

The Eastern Ontario Development Program is a Government of Canada initiative which promotes economic development in Eastern Ontario, leading to a diversified and competitive regional economy with successful businesses such as ETM Industries in Renfrew acquiring this funding, said a news release.

Buy a blizzard Aug. 8 and help CHEO look after Valley children Business – The Dairy Queen outlet in Renfrew is taking part in an annual fundraiser for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) next week.

On Miracle Treat Day Thursday, Aug. 8, $1 or more from every Blizzard bought at participating Dairy Queen locations goes to Children’s Miracle Network hospitals. In this area, the money goes to CHEO. Co-workers, friends and family can preorder DQ Blizzards and have them ready for pick-up Aug. 8.

In addition, for the second year in a row, a Facebook RSVP to Miracle Treat Day will be matched with a $1 donation to the cause - up to $50,000.

“Together we can provide hope and healing to sick children in your community,” says a DQ news release announcing Miracle Treat Day. “Let’s make miracles happen.”

The event raises funds for 170 children’s hospitals across Canada and the U.S. Donations from each community go to the hospitals serving that area.

Since 1983, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals has raised more than $4.7 billion, most of it $1 at a time.

The donations have gone to support research and training, purchase equipment, and pay for uncompensated care, all in support of the mission to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible.

The money goes into the hospital’s CT Scan fund. The proceeds came from the retirement home’s fourth annual spring fashion show. The luncheon, which features local residents modelling clothing available at Renfrew businesses, was initiated after Powell’s husband Tom received a CT Scan at the Pembroke Regional Hospital before the Renfrew hospital’s own CT Scan was operating.

Tom died of cancer in 2011, while has wife has undergone cancer surgery herself.

Wood products industry profits to double in 2013 2013. The conference board says production increases will drive costs higher, but revenue gains will be more than sufficient to cover them.

“The industry continues to reap the benefits of cost-cutting measures undertaken even before the 2008-09 economic recession,” said the release.

“The end result is that 2013 will be the fourth consecutive year of profitability.

The positive news is tempered by weakness in the domestic housing market, but the rebound in the U.S. housing market and robust exports to China will more than offset the

slackening demand at home.

“Industry production will continue to rise each year through 2017. However, the pace of growth will slow down in the outer years of the forecast, as production will be constrained by lower timber supply — a result of the mountain pine beetle infestation in British Columbia.

“Some 6,000 new workers are expected to be added to payrolls in 2013. However, producers are facing a skilledworker shortage, which will pose a major challenge for the industry going forward,” the release said.

Business - Pre-tax profits in Canada’s wood products industry are expected to more than double this year and reach an eight-year high, according to The Conference Board of Canada’s spring 2013 outlook.

“Canada’s wood products industry is cashing in on the recovery in the U.S. housing market and strong Chinese demand for wood products,” said economist Lin Ai. A June 26 news release says price improvements and higher production mean that industry revenues will rise to a six-year high, reaching $24 billion in

EDITORIAL

Harper’s new-ish cabinet: Old wine in new bottles?

Opinion – One of the best quotes about Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s recent cabinet shuffle came not from the usual political pundits on Parliament Hill, but unintentionally from Canadian movie director Ivan Reitman.

The Kindergarten Cop director, in a conversation with Maclean’s magazine, was asked about the long awaited Ghostbusters III. Interviewer Brian D. Johnson asked, “If they can reboot Star Trek, there’s no reason you can’t reboot Ghostbusters.� To this, Toronto-raised Reitman replied, “We’re not talking about rebooting it, because the original works just fine. It’s about whether there’s a whole other story to tell.�

And therein lies the problem for Harper.

Harper is planning another prorogation and a Throne Speech this fall. We’ve been down this road before – in fact, the prorogations are getting hard to discern from each other these days. Back in 2010, Harper said he needed to “recalibrate� his government with a prorogation.

Now he faces a different situation. Now he has his longed-for majority government. But does he want to simply reboot his government, or start telling a new story? Maybe a little more fiscal sanity, a little less going for the jugular. Maybe acting more like the adults are in charge, than ordering Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) interns to heckle Liberal leader Justin Trudeau or run ads with Trudeau taking his shirt off.

Is this really the best use of their time?

Already, the morning after the shuffle, came word from Global News that a “friend and enemy stakeholder,� list was included in the briefing books for new ministers. This is by no means the equivalent of Richard Nixon’s “enemies list,� but it is not common, and certainly somewhat creepy, to officially list someone as, essentially, an enemy of the state: but then, this is a government which has, essentially, blacklisted environmental groups.

Certainly, some common courtesy – “Oh, make sure you steer clear of Bob in accounting, he really has a bad attitude,� – may save a new minister some headaches, but this is taking it too far.

But it certainly seems to feed into the attitude that the faces may have changed, but the story remains the same, just as the cast of Saturday Night Live changes every few years, but the basic premise remains the same – musical guest, cold opening, celebrity guest’s opening monologue, Weekend Update, and one-joke sketches that seem to go on forever, and characters with catchphrases being groomed for the inevitable movie.

And just as Lorne Michaels is, and always will lead the show on air from 30 Rockefeller

Center, so too does Harper fill the same role from 24 Sussex Drive.

Is this the government you thought you’d get back on May 2, 2011?

In fairness to Harper, even he admitted outside of Rideau Hall on that “obviously, we’re always looking at ways we can continue to evolve to address new challenges and improve our performance.�

Good to see a little humility.

It is also very encouraging to see that Harper has appointed more women, and younger women at that, to cabinet. This is to be encouraged, and puts lie to the charge from the opposition – as witnessed by a 2008 election bumper sticker of Harper, claiming to women that ‘He’s just not that into you,’ – that Harper has something against women.

But let’s be honest. Male or female, visible minority or not, the composition doesn’t matter so much as it does that they are all singing from the same hymn book, so to speak. All governments adhere to cabinet solidarity – at least in public – and cabinet secrecy, but as last week’s editorial cartoon made abundantly clear, the direction, the talking points, everything, begins and ends with Harper. Ministers serve at his pleasure, and he believes that he is the only indispensible member of his government.

Things will get interesting now in terms of how backbenchers will react to this news. For every renegade MP who has broken ranks to sit as an independent, or faced the wrath of the Tory front bench in pushing the speaker to allow them to speak without pre-approval from the PMO, they are now stewing in their offices, burning and seething in the knowledge that they did not make it into cabinet this time and, in all likelihood, will never make it into cabinet at this rate. So long as they don’t do anything foolish like vote against the budget, what’s the point of towing the party line?

What’s the point of being there if, as more than one MP has said, you are just window dressing, reading off a bunch of talking points dictated to you by some trust fund baby half your age from the PMO? Harper will suddenly find it a lot harder to maintain party discipline amongst his backbenchers now that the dangling carrot of a cabinet post, or secretary position, has been yanked from right in front of them.

Just as Conservative candidates shooting their mouth off partially imploded the Tory campaign in 2004 – hence part of the reason why Harper is so focused on staying on message.

Just as loose cannon candidates for the Wildrose party in Alberta helped snatch defeat from the jaws of victory last year, Harper may find the 2015 federal vote his hardest yet.

MNR’s concern over moth is misplaced To the editor: Well, folks, the insanity at Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) headquarters has now become an epidemic – as evidenced by a recent article in an area newspaper concerning a “newly identified� and “globally threatened� species called the “Bogbean Buckmoth� which is what granny used to buy moth balls to protect her night gown from before Raid came along.

According to the MNR this Bogbean Buckmoth has been on the Endangered Species list since 2010 and is “possibly� residing within Renfrew County borders. Isn’t it reassuring to know that while we are struggling to make a living – pay bills and keep a roof over our heads – the MNR is wasting our tax money running around making fools of themselves by dictating what we can do on our private property - yet can still find time to create a fuss over the “potential� existence of a moth.

No such fuss however is being made over Cobden’s Muskrat Lake – where the MNR is allegedly directly re-

But thanks to the Pembroke MNR those days are gone and they are now hobnobbing with some Renfrew County council bureaucrats who recently congratulated themselves on “the success we have had getting the MNR to listen to us about enforcing the Endangered Species Act.�

MNR has assured us any landowner who find a Bogbean Buckmoth on their land can apply for a Stewardship Program supporting protection and recovery of the species.

This was followed by an announcement from the Ontario Forest Industry Association president who declared “Our collective perseverance has succeeded� and the only thing missing as a backdrop to this pork barrel rhetoric was former Premier Dalton McGuinty singing the in his long johns.

However, the people who really succeeded were the MNR bureaucrats, who simply blew more smoke up with this character also, but county folk are not being fooled because even a four-year-old knows there’s something wrong about calling an area a “potential� moth habitat – as well as the reason why fly swatters – bug zappers – and heels on men’s boots were invented. No wonder us old timers long for those good old days when sensible people were running things instead of the way it is today.

Canadians should push back against U.N. Agenda 21 millions‌ (Nickson’s publisher, HarperCollins, hired no less than five people to back check her research prior to publishing ‌ her work was found to be impeccably factual and correct.)

I read Ms. Nickson’s book cover to cover twice, then started a third time, and at about the halfway mark began my own research online, back-checking her sources and references about this very scary threat to our rural life in Canada.

After completing some of my own research, I contacted Nickson to ask if anyone else in Canada is on to this and trying to combat the Sierra Club, Suzuki Foundation, Green Peace, etc. and the myriad of other embedded eco-fascist groups.

The following Monday morning I received a call from Jessica Lauren Annis, registered property planner of Toronto and founder of www.

OperationPushback.ca “Hi Mr. Tuck, Elizabeth Nickson forwarded your email to me,� she said.

We spoke for over an hour that morning, and have had many conversations since. Annis was kind enough to permit me to use her slide presentation as a basis, that I could inform local politicians, residents, farmers, landowners and hunting clubs of not only the radical rules and restrictions we face, the attack on what very little property rights we now enjoy, but as well, about the mega-structure and grand plan that is the driving force behind

these socialist policies.

Have you heard of U.N. Agenda 21? I had not either, but it is absolutely frightening, it is real and it is spreading its socialist tentacles to strangle the entire planet. And, your federal government of 1992 signed us on to it. “Agenda 21 is the blueprint for the 21st century, it is the action plan to inventory and control, all land, water, minerals, plants, animals, construction, means of production, transportation, education, information and human beings in the world. It is a global plan that is implemented locally,� according to Rosa Koire, executive director of the Post Sustainability Institute; former district branch chief, California Department of Transportation, California certified general real estate appraiser, accredited senior appraiser, American Society of Appraisers; bachelor of arts, English, UCLA, 1982 39.

International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) is the implementation arm of U.N. Agenda 21, and they were formerly called Local Agenda 21 or L.A. 21, but they changed their name in 2003 to better hide the fact they are the offspring of the mother ship U.N. Agenda 21.

Some 114 Canadian cites are card- carrying members of ICLEI and these cities pay ICLEI your tax dollars.

Since 1999 the Federation of Canadian Municipalities has been a card-carrying member of this little-known group of foreign planners. ICLEI is

Nickson was the keynote speaker and a wonderfully informative and factual presentation she conveyed in a manner of assured and knowledgeable calm.

It was a pleasure to have met this lady and to have finally obtained my own copy of her landmark book! (Of course, she autographed it!)

Also speaking that evening was Jessica Lauren Annis, planner, of Toronto, who spoke of the dangers of the ESA and ICLEI and the planning that was taking over our province.

Clearly one must conclude, it was a predetermined outcome.

The radical claims these groups make, how we are all bad for planet earth, oil is bad, humans bad, industry bad, etc., are outlandish and akin to someone peeing on your leg and telling you it’s raining.

Don’t know about you, but I ain’t buyin’ it anymore.

On July 18, I had the pleasure to attend a meeting in Kanata at the invitation of the Frontier Centre for Public Policy and Jack MacLaren MPP for Carleton-Mississippi Mills. Some of you may know MacLaren in his role as past president of the Ontario Landowners Association and how he was, and still is, a fighter for our rights in Ontario.

My question is, what the heck can Canada learn about planning and land use from a foreign body headquartered in Germany? Are there no Canadians to think up land use planning for Canadian cities?

Must we pay our money to a European group think organization?

(By the way‌ ICLEI and U.N. Agenda 21 have been banned by law recently in a few U.S. State Legislatures.)

The Green Energy Act and Endangered Species Act (ESA), compliments of Dalton McGuinty, essentially gives the eco-fascists carte blanche to have their way with your land, your rights, your self determination on your property.

With the ESA, a whole three days of public hearing were held. The groups pressuring McGuinty were: Environmental Defence, Ontario Nature, Wildlife Conservation Society Canada, Ivey Foundation, Sierra Legal Defence Fund, Sierra Club of Canada Ontario Chapter, Forest Ethics, CPAWS-Wildlands League, David Suzuki Foundation and Earthroots.

It was Christmas forever for these radical groups as McGuinty gift-wrapped the entire province and your land and your rights in a pretty colour-

Opinion - To the editor: In January this year, I happened across a very well researched book by Canada’s own Elizabeth Nickson, in the Renfrew Library.

Eco-Fascists – How Radical Conservationists Are Destroying Our Natural Heritage, came about after Nickson went through ‘Eco-Freak Hell’ in a simple task she embarked upon, to sever her 28-acre land holdings on Salts Spring Island, B.C., into two parcels.

She had to pay in excess of $160,000, 22 months of her life, give up the use of the majority of her retained parcel - all to satisfy the whims of the embedded eco-fascists on her island paradise.

She was told she was the first of over 1,000 prior applicants, to succeed in a severance. Nickson, being a successful, stalwart and renowned investigative journalist of mega smarts and tenacity, travelled over 15,000 miles in her bid to research just how deeply embedded the ecofascists are in North America and what destruction they had brought about.

She travelled throughout the U.S. speaking with many, many people and hearing of the horror stories so similar and many much, much worse than what she herself had endured. Multi-million-dollars lawsuits that dragged on and on for decades against government agencies, lives ruined, land lost, millions of acres of land locked down, jobs lost, farmers and ranchers decimated, people displaced in the

Bonnechere Manor Foundation looking to turn trash into cash Community - The Bonnechere Manor Foundation’s newest fundraising initiative is geared at turning trash into cash. The foundation is collecting used Tassimo T-Discs and Tassimo packaging, which will be sent away for recycling and cash in return.

The T-Discs are recycled into such items as plastic garbage

cans, benches, cutting boards, hard shells for coolers, playgrounds and plastic lumber. T-Discs can be brought in a plastic bag to the Bonnechere Manor and left in one of the Great Hall’s drop boxes.

Bonnechere Manor Foundation members raise funds that support projects not funded through existing Ministry of Health

and Long-term Care mechanisms. With the continued financial support of Renfrew and area communities, the board of directors’ goal is to improve the quality of life for seniors living in the manor or attending the seniors-adults day program.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Agenda Continued from page 9

Having had so many conversations with Jessica by phone, her great assistance to me in my preparations, it truly was a like meeting a long lost friend.

MacLaren had Jessica give her presentation to the P.C. Caucus a little while back.

(Eleven or so members actually showed, however, not our own MPP John Yakabuski.)

MacLaren has had quite a few conversations with her on the troubles we now face as landowners, and was so impressed with Jessica’s knowledge, expertise and manner that, as of Aug. 1, Jessica Lauren Annis will be working in Queen’s Park.

We need to get educated and up to speed on the threat we are facing. Please seek out Elizabeth’s book to start or just visit her website and read over the valuable infor-

mation there. (Where Are the Corpses? or By the Numbers) www.elizabethnickson.com Search out Jessica Annis and www.operationpushback.ca: Search out Rosa Koire’s book Behind the Green Mask or her site with a vault of information www.democratsagainstunagenda21.com or James Delingpole’s book Watermelons – The Green Movements True Colours.

Most important, if you have, or you know of someone who has suffered at the hands of the eco-fascists, or the MNR enforcing the Endangered Species Act, and/or an horriďŹ c and expensive experience trying to sever your land, please contact myself via email that we may document the unreasonable hoops you have had to jump through to live in and enjoy your property in rural Ontario!

We must, as a rural community, unite to retain what little property rights we enjoy, and

indeed to regain those rights already stripped away at the behest of the eco-fascists and socialist regimes like the still embedded Ontario Liberals.

There is no law that cannot be repealed by the will of the people in our democratic country of Canada.

We must pass legislation to remove ourselves from U.N. Agenda 21.

We must pass legislation banning ICLEI from our cities, towns and provinces!

Radical and restrictive laws and policies like the Green Energy Act and the Endangered Species Act must be rewritten if not entirely discarded to protect our personal and national sovereignty, heritage and rights to determine our own destinies!

HERITAGE

Connected to your community

Thunderstorm proved how dangerous they 1938: Dionne quintuplet could be and how generous people really were teacher resigns from job Lifestyle - Thunderstorms in the country terrified Mother. Sadly, that fear was passed on to me.

We crouched in corners, but never on an outside wall, and always away from the telephone that hung on the kitchen wall.

If it was a really horrific storm, I often took to hiding under a bed.

Storms that struck through the night were especially frightening.

The lightning lit up the entire countryside, and in the blackness of the night, rolling thunder roared, sounding like a gigantic train careening through our fields.

It was not unusual for Mother to get all of us children out of our beds in the dead of night at the first sound of thunder or a flash of lightning. Father of course, slept through the entire storm.

Seeing Mother sitting on a chair, away from any window, the coal oil lamp lit on the bake table by the back door, did little to put my mind at ease.

She sat with her purse clutched tightly in her arms, ready to make a dash outside should our old log house be struck by lightning. Where we would run to, I had no idea!

The very thought of going outside into the raging storm was almost as frightening as shaking like a leaf inside, waiting for what I was sure was a fiery end to our lives.

Mother constantly compared country storms with those she remembered from New York. With the heavy sounds of the city, storms there passed almost unnoticed.

Mary Cook’s Memories

BY MARY COOK

The very thought of going outside into the raging storm was almost as frightening as shaking like a leaf inside, waiting for what I was sure was a fiery end to our lives.

MARY COOK

And the day lightning hit the pole that held our clothes line and followed it to the end pole, Mother nearly collapsed. My sister Audrey, whom I thought took storms much too lightly, said we should be grateful that the clothes line was free standing and not attached to the corner of the house! I knew what she meant.

And then one summer day, when we had gone through a particularly long dry spell, the sky in the west darkened and far off in the distance we could hear the rumble of thunder.

We had finished our noon meal, and by the time we had redded up the kitchen, the storm was upon us. Father said he would just sit a spell. “No use going out in that rain,” he said, as he settled down in the rocking chair with the latest copy of the Family Herald and Weekly Star.

“How can you sit there and read with that storm

R0012228550_0801

raging outside?” Mother wanted to know.

Father never took his eyes off the paper. My brothers had absolutely no fear in a storm.

In fact, it wasn’t unusual for them to stand at the kitchen window and watch the lightning streak out of the black clouds.

Mother had settled in a chair against the inside wall between the kitchen and the downstairs bedroom, Audrey, busied herself with her embroidery work, and I was on a chair inches from Mother.

The whole house shook with every clap of thunder, and the storm seemed to hover right overhead for a very long time. I prayed it would soon go away, and follow the Bonnechere to another part of the valley.

“Oh my God,” Emerson yelled. Everett yelled for Father to come quickly to the window looking out towards the west hill.

Earl, the most timid of the three began to cry. I knew something terrible had happened.

Father jumped from the rocker and ran to the west window; cautiously, Mother, Audrey and I followed.

“The lightning,” Emerson stammered.

“It hit the big maple on the hill,” Everett said.

And underneath the tree, where 11 of our Holstein cows had gone for shelter, we saw what had

happened. They looked like they had laid themselves down to rest in the summer heat. But I knew without asking what had happened. The cows were dead… killed by a lightning bolt that had struck the maple.

I saw the stark horror on Father’s face, and Mother’s tear streaked cheeks, and I knew without a doubt that we would never recover the loss.

What I saw next, once the storm had blown itself out, was Father and the brothers, walking behind the team of horses, pulling the double whiffle tree and heading to the west hill.

One by one the dead Holsteins were dragged to the gravel pit and buried.

The news of our loss spread quickly through the community of Northcote.

Father said it could have been worse.

Our young heifers were in the enclosure close to the barn, and two cows, for their own reasons had decided to stay at the bottom of the hill.

And as always happened when tragedy struck in our farm community, one by one, neighbours responded. I saw them walking down our long lane leading a heifer or a cow over to our farm almost completely replacing our loss with a simple shake of a hand and a few words.

That’s how things were done in the ’30s.

As well as our terrible loss, the lightning strike only confirmed in Mother’s mind that storms were not to be taken lightly, but treated as the real danger they could be, and sadly sometimes were.

AUGUST 1, 1913

Lifestyle - MR. O’BRIEN GIVES $1,000 TO COLLEGE: St. Mary’s College in Halifax, N.S. started a campaign to raise $40,000 and within a few days $50,000 was pledged by sons of Nova Scotia, present and former residents. The following characteristic telegram came from Mr. M.J. O’Brien of Renfrew, Ont., and formerly of Antigonish, N.S. “Cannot give less to S. Mary’s than to Dalhousie last year. Subscribe $1,000 for me, payable when the logs come down.” Rev. Dr. Foley presided at the conference when the reports were received. Mr. O’Brien gave the highest single subscription and his telegram was loudly cheered.

THE PROPOSED CIVIC HALF HOLIDAY: Many western Ontario towns take a half holiday once a week during the summer months. So it is not likely there will be much opposition to the proposition made in council by Mr. Murphy, on behalf of the fire brigade, to make the final fireman’s contest the accession of a model local celebration, with musical and baseball attachments, as one half-holiday of the summer kind, to be officially recognized by a civic proclamation.

NEW FEATURES OBTAINED

BY THE MERCURY: In this issue and to continue in succeeding issues, some new features are to appear in The Mercury. By arrangement with the Star Syndicate Service, The Mercury has permission to print Polly and Her Pals, a funny strip. What To Do a column for the housewife, by Phyllis Belmont, and Today’s Fashions by Vera Winston. Along with these special features, The Mercury has also special news pictures. We believe our readers will appreciate these “specials” which are obtained at some expense and in order that their local paper may be up-to-the-minute.

MISS NORA ROUSSELLE, TEACHER FOR DIONNE QUINTS, IS HOME: Miss Nora Rousselle,

OLGA LEWIS From the Old Files daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.B. Rousselle of Renfrew, has resigned as teacher to the famous Dionne Quintuplets of Callandar. Conditions prevailed there which were not to her liking and she is now at home in Renfrew. Miss Rousselle had previously been engaged in high school work at Plantaginet but more recently in the civil service in Ottawa.

AUGUST 2, 1978

STEDMAN’S TO BE SANTALAND?: Plans for turning the vacant Stedman’s store into a children’s Santaland during the Christmas season were discussed at the Retail Merchants Association July 19. President John Grist said building rental agent Tom McElligott was most co-operative and permission was granted if the store is still vacant. A joint effort by the retail merchants, the winter wonderland would house Santa’s workshop and an assortment of live animals in a fairy tale setting with Storyland characters. The opening of Santaland would probably tie in with the Santa Claus parade, Grist said.

COMMISSION PICKS TENDER: The Renfrew Hydro Electric Commission voted in favor of accepting the lowest tender for the concrete hydro generating sub-station base at a meeting July 18. Hoffman’s Concrete Products Ltd., Pembroke will supply the concrete at $12.80 per yard with Herman Salvati, Renfrew placing it for $110. The 17 -foot by 30-foot base located on the north side of Renfrew will be completed in August. Construction on the completely enclosed substation is scheduled for the fall at a cost of $145,000.

NATURE

Connected to your community

Active birding in the Calabogie area Lifestyle - Rob Herweyer sends us this report from Virgin Lake. “I saw a belted kingfisher, and likely its mate this morning. The great blue heron that was fishing along the waters edge noticed the kingfishers too.

We also saw a great egret, a rarity off the Tatlock Road Marsh, along with five great blue herons. Closer to home we have been visited by rosebreasted grosbeaks, northern flickers, and a variety of woodpeckers: downys, hairys and pileated. A few of the missing hummers returned this week to the many blossoms.”

Thank you for your report, Rob. It is always good to see the regulars and the addition of a great egret is a bonus. It would be very interesting to know if the egrets are nesting.

ROBINS DISCOVERED

Ashley Chlala was visiting her great grandmother Rita Lafrance (they call their great grandmother GeGe) at Coldingham Lake when she discovered a nest of robins. The first time Ashley has seen robins in the nest. Rita pointed out to all her grandchildren (she has 11 grandchildren and 11 great grand children) that the nest was not to be disturbed because although the parents would not abandon their young they would not feed them if the children were nearby.

All is well. The nestlings are being fed and the grandchildren are enjoying all the action at the nest.

HUMMERS RETURN

Hummers have returned to Richard Brennan’s feeders at Pembroke as well as those of Margaret Morris at Cormac, Marilyn McNaule at Renfrew and Renton Patterson (Hurds Lake). I mention the location because it shows that the birds have returned over a wide area. It is difficult to understand why they left some areas in the first place and not others. It is also difficult to understand why they returned all within the same week.

Suggestions would be appreciated.

If you are dealing with Nature it is a good policy to “never say never” because some situation or event will occur to prove you wrong.

The male hummers will begin their migration about the middle of August. The females will bring their fledglings to your feeders and remain with us until early October.

The Secret Life of Your Septic System – free septic workshop comes to Cobden Aug. 14

Scene from the Hawk’s Eye

Lifestyle - The Secret Life of Your Septic System, a free evening presentation for anyone who owns a septic system, is coming to Whitewater Region Township Hall, 44 Main Street in Cobden on Wednesday, Aug. 14 at 7 p.m.

Participants will learn how to make their septic systems last, while protecting their family’s health and the environment.

A septic system can cost thousands of dollars, and if cared for properly, a system can last more than 20 years, if mis-treated, it could fail in half that time.

Come on out and learn how to protect water quality and your investment, and have a chance to meet septic installers, inspectors and pumpers.

Door prizes of free septic system pump-outs and septic inspections!

Sponsored by the Bonnechere River Watershed Project, in partnership with the Township of Whitewater Region.

Financial support in part is from the Ontario Trillium Foundation and local donors.

Refreshments will be served.

year is no exception. Because the swallows have declined in numbers so dramatically in the past few years it was very good news to hear that a full compliment of swallows survived and are flying free.

Bob O’Donnell is the caretaker of several bluebird boxes both at Hurds Lake and at the Renfrew Golf Club.

He says that he has not has such good results for some time. In fact there is a nesting presently taking place and the young should fledge within the next few weeks. Very good news indeed.

CARDINALS

Bill and Evelyn McLaughlin on Argyle Street have been hearing a pair of nesting cardinals near their home. Bill says the birds are more often heard than seen. It is amazing that such a bright coloured pair of birds could be so difficult to see in the trees. The young birds should be arriving at the McLaughlin feeders before long.

YOUNG BIRDS

Songbirds are summer’s alarm clocks. This cheery little bird is believed to be an immature northern mockingbird.

If young birds are arriving at your feeders with their parents will you please let us know. There is very little information available regarding young birds from the time they fledge until they are on their own. The time varies from species to species, that we are sure of. It is much easier to identify the young when they are with their parents.

FLYING SQUIRRELS

Nature’s Truth Health Centre

Flying squirrels can take over your bluebird boxes as nest sites. If you should look into one of your bird boxes and see two large dark eyes looking out you will know that a family of flying squirrels have taken over.

They do not seem to remain in the box for the winter and prefer to gather with other family members in communal nest high in a tree. This winter place your feeder near an outside light and you will be able to see them arriving and leaving your feeder.

NATURE

Connected to your community

Start spreading the news Vigilence needed to protect precious natural resources Lucy Hass lucy.hass@metroland.com

Nature should be natural.

That’s why it’s so important to protect natural environments, especially from invasive species.

Last month that message was taken to the shores of the Bonnechere River at a presentation and booth organized by the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters.

Andrew Clouthier is an invasive species community outreach worker and its his job to encourage awareness of ways to battle threats of all kinds.

“I basically go to events and spread awareness and educate people on invasive species. I also do a lot of fieldwork in the summer such as invasive species removal/monitoring.,” Clouthier explains.

The provincial Liberal government is investing money in the fight against invasive species, and the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters is developing a mobile app.

“The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) is applauding

the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) for continuing the fight to stop the spread of invasive species, and offering financial support to programs and research projects in efforts to combat the issue and protect the province’s natural resources,” a July 11 news release said.

Minister of Natural Resources David Orazietti has announced that in 20132014, the MNR will provide $1.16 million to the Invasive Species Centre in Sault Ste. Marie, a partnership-based, non-profit organization that facilitates efforts with stakeholders in the prevention, detection and management of invasive forest, plant and aquatic species.

“The spread of invasive species is of dire concern to the OFAH, which is why we’re pleased to see the strong partnerships that have formed to help protect Ontario’s lakes, rivers, streams and forests,” said OFAH executive director Angelo Lombardo.

“We commend the Government of Ontario for their commitment to protecting Ontario’s environment and economy from the impacts of invasive species, which are estimated to be $1.4 trillion globally,” Lombrado said.

The Invasive Species Centre has provided fund-

ing to the OFAH to develop an invasive species Android and iPhone app that will help identify and track invasive species across Ontario. The mobile app will give Ontarians an important tool to help battle invasive species. The data gathered will also be available to the public and researchers in a digital “data warehouse”.

To report a sighting of an invasive species, or request information materials, call the Invading Species Hotline at 1-800-563-7711 or

visit www.invadingspecies. com.

The OFAH is the largest charitable, non-profit conservation organization in Ontario, with 100,000 members, subscribers and supporters, and 710 member clubs.

As the voice of anglers and hunters, the OFAH works on a broad range of fish and wildlife conservation programs that enhance our natural resources for LUCY HASS/METROLAND present and future genera- Invasive species community outreach worker Andrew Clouthier in tions.

Community - The Arnprior Duplicate Bridge Club hosted its third annual American Contract Bridge League Sectional Tournament on April 12 to 14 at the Arnprior Golf Club.

A number of club members are from the Renfrew area, since Renfrew does not have its own Duplicate Bridge Club.

In spite of the heavy snowfall which rained down at the start of the weekend, the tournament was a highly successful event.

This was due in part to the generosity of Renfrew and Area merchants who donated prizes.

A number of charities were benefactors of this event, with one of them being Hospice Renfrew, who recently received a cheque for $240.

The club is grateful to area sponsors such as Bob Bouchard Honey, Bonnechere Bakery, Donohue Art and Frame, Flamingo Restaurant, Fraser’s Clothing Store, The Flower Factory, Hultink Garden Centre, Kate’s Barbershop, No Frills, O’Brien Theatre, Ray’s Flowers, Renfrew Home Hardware, Shirley Hickey (Artist), Burnstown, Subway, Renfrew Tea Room, Rocky Mountain House, A Sense of ARNPRIOR DUSPLICATE BRIDGE Country, Scott’s Shoe Store, Shanloon Arnprior Duplicate Bridge Club members have donated to Hospice Renfrew.

Lightning ignites to capture sixth Gil Read Memorial Jeff Maguire

Sharon Lake Simcoe Lightning made sure their first official appearance at the Gil Read Memorial Fastpitch Tournament in Carp was a memorable one.

Lightning, the defending champions of the Oshawa City and District Fastball League, completed an undefeated run at the sixth annual competition with an 11-4 trouncing of Elkland Thunderbellys in Sunday’s final at the Carp Fairgrounds. Sharon is located north of Newmarket in the Greater Toronto Area. Thunderbellys, who were making their second straight appearance in the Carp tournament, are based out of the small village of Elkland in north-central Pennsylvania.

Several Lightning players were part of the Toronto Gators, who won last year’s Gil Read Memorial.

The Lightning, who topped the final standings with five wins and a tie in six games, took home $1,800 in prize money. Runners-up Elkland, who were edged by Toronto Gators, the eventual tournament winners in the semi-finals of last year’s Carp venture, claimed $700. Despite the loss in the title game, the Thunderbellys were an impressive 5-1.

Donnacona Blue Sox, from the Quebec City area and Kars Aces, the three-time defending champions of the Greater Ottawa Fastball League (GOFL), were semi-finalists. The Blue Sox finished with a 3-2 mark while Kars went 2-2-1. Both clubs earned $250 shares of the prize pot.

In their semi-final encounter, the Lightning left it late before earning their place in Sunday’s championship game. Sharon trailed Donnacona 3-1 going to the bottom of the seventh and final inning of their semi-final showdown. But a walk-off double by Todd Hamblin chased home the tying and winning runs. Gregg Garrity also had a crucial run batted in for the winners in their come-from-behind triumph. Brad Worsley, in relief of Garrity, was the winning pitcher.

Patrice Leclerc was the hard luck loser for Blue Sox. In the final the teams were tied 4-4 in the fourth inning. But Lake Simcoe finally wore out Thunderbellys’ pitching, scoring seven unanswered runs in the late going. Aaron Trude of Sharon was named the most valuable player in the championship contest.

Garrity was the winning pitcher with relief help from Worsley. An overworked Josh Johnson absorbed the loss on the hill for the Pennsylvania side.

Hours earlier Johnson was the hero of the moment for Elkland, turning in a stellar pitching performance in his team’s tight 2-1 semifinal victory over Kars.

Chris Read, son of the late Gil Read, and his cousin Al Read, who plays for Carp I4C Victory, are the chief organizers of the annual ven-

No-hitter for Corey Costello, but no farther than quarterfinals for Micksburg Twins ture.

Monday morning Chris Read expressed thanks to everyone who supported the sixth tournament.

“We had the best turnout ever,” he says, adding that the Friday night crowd and sales was the best Friday in tournament history, doubling anything accomplished in the past.

“There were at least 300 in the stands for the final Sunday. It was fantastic,” Read states.

“We had 12 very competitive teams. The out-of-town teams all told us they want to come back next year, so obviously we are pleased about that.”

Read adds the home run derby Sunday was also a major success with a large contingent of fans on hand to watch.

“Everyone – the teams and the fans – comes out to assist a worthwhile cause,” he observes.

All proceeds from the tournament goes to the Gil Read Memorial Foundation which assists underprivileged youngsters who wish to play sports but who would not otherwise have the funds necessary to take part.

The top area team in the tournament was Fitzroy Harbour West Carleton Electric of GOFL. They finished the three-day event in fifth place with a 2-2-1 mark. Electric were eliminated at the quarter final stage, losing 6-1 to Kars. Mitch Hardy of Aces spun a nifty two-hitter in Sunday morning’s match-up.

Besides Kars and Fitzroy Harbour there were five other GOFL clubs involved in the Carp showdown. Host Carp I4C Victory was joined

by Micksburg Twins, from the Upper Ottawa Valley, along with Stittsville 56ers, Manotick Taylor’s Blitz and Barrhaven Broadway Blues all from suburban Ottawa.

Also in Sunday’s quarter finals it was Sharon downing Napanee Junior Express 5-1 while Elkland got past Stittsville 5-3 and Donnacona doubled Micksburg 4-2.

BUSY SATURDAY

The Thunderbellys had a perfect Saturday to finish atop the eight-team playoff pool.

The Pennsylvania side opened the day with a neat 5-0 triumph over another pre-tournament favourite, Donnacona. They followed that up with yet another shutout victory, blitzing Manotick 7-0. Johnson toed the rubber in both contests and rang up back-to-back shutouts.

Thunderbellys topped the field by edging Stittsville 2-1 in an early evening showdown.

A total of 14 games were played Saturday!

Sharon claimed second seed in the playoff group by winning a pair of one-sided tilts and then tying Kars 3-3.

In their first game Saturday morning the Lake Simcoe side blasted Napanee Senior Express 10-0. In their second outing, late in the afternoon, Lightning again hit double figures in an easy 10-3 jaunt against Barrhaven. Saturday night they had to settle for a 3-3 tie with Kars. In the round-robin games which were deadlocked after seven innings finished as ties with each team awarded a single point in the standings.

Fitzroy West Carleton Electric, which plays out of Fitzroy Harbour, concluded the roundrobin in third position, posting two wins and tying Micksburg 5-5 in a night game Saturday.

Earlier in the day Electric zapped local favourites Carp 7-0 as Victory failed to score for a second consecutive game.

Donnacona grabbed fourth place in the playoff round with a 2-1 mark. After losing their first game to Elkland they rebounded with an 8-5 win over Stittsville in a noon hour clash Saturday. In a night game Blue Sox blasted Manotick 12-2.

Micksburg grabbed fifth spot in the playoffs with a win and a pair of ties. Following a big win Friday they ended their morning start Sat-

urday in a 3-3 tie with Napanee Junior Express.

Their night game with Fitzroy also finished deadlocked.

Perennial GOFL champion Kars was sixth following the round-robin with their 1-1-1 mark. Aces were edged 5-4 by Napanee Seniors Saturday evening.

The final two playoff places went to Napanee Juniors and Stittsville. Junior Express was 1-11 following play Saturday. Their round-robin victory was an 8-1 whitewashing of hapless Carp who went 0-3 and managed just one run in three tournament contests.

The 56ers made the quarter final mix despite dropping two of three round robin games.

Stittsville won Friday before falling to Donnacona and Elkland in a very tough B Pool.

Carp, Manotick, Barrhaven and Napanee Seniors were the four teams eliminated following completion of round-robin play Saturday night.Carp and Manotick went winless while the Blues and Napanee Seniors each managed one victory.

Barrhaven triumphed over the Seniors 54 early Saturday afternoon while the Express edged Kars by the same score in an evening clash.

Wrap-up for McNab minor ball’s youngest Sports – More than 300 attended McNab Centre Park ball diamonds July 13 to watch family and friends play in the McNab-Braeside Minor Ball’s final games for its youngest players.

The hot day began with coaches leading the T-Ball players in the kickoff parade followed by the kids standing for the national anthem.

It wasn’t long before the eager 5Pitch/Mites players and families arrived for their game.

Brent McMullen led the McAllister Ford team to the league and playoff championships. The RONA (Rod Barr), Canadian Tire (Chris Hodgson) and Four Seasons Carwash (Brian Armsden) teams played hard and improved over the course of the

year, with Rona taking the B Championship.

Due to lower enrollment, convenors decided to combine the peewee girl and boy division, which made a four-team division.

Ontario Power Generation (Duane Clouthier and Joe Shean) won the league title. The Yellow Jackets (Pat Ryan) fought hard in the playoff round and again in the championship game to take the title.

Sandy’s Beauty Salon (Natalie Lalonde) played an exciting game and overtook GP Gas Services (Glen Miller) in the B championship game.

The Les Lavallee Coach of the Year Award was awarded to Mites coach Chris Hodgson. He has dedicated years of service to the kids of

McNab-Braeside Minor Ball, and also coaches the Mites Selects team.

The Umpire of the Year Award went to Jon Shean of Arnprior and Mitchell Courshesne of Braeside.

Thank you to convenors Lisa Conway (T-Ball), Cynthia McMullen (5-Pitch/Mites), Duane Clouthier (Peewee) and Joe Shean (umpire-inchief).

Organizers also thank Percy & Associates for operating the canteen and donating funds to the minor ball association. A special thank-you goes to the many players, families and McNab-Braeside Township for being key to the success of the program.

Thank you to 2013 sponsors Ontario Power Generation and Tim Hortons.

The kickoff parade at the opening ceremonies is an exciting event for the young T-ball players.

Continued from page 25

The highlight of opening night action Friday was the pitching gem by Micksburg hurler Corey Costello. He threw a no-hitter against host Carp, leading the Twins to a 6-0 triumph.

Costello got plenty of run support, mainly via the long ball. Teammate Riley Hennessey blasted a pair of home runs while Joran Graham added a solo shot.

The Twins advanced from the early pool play into the quarter-finals, but they never got closer than Nick Armitage’s two-run homer to tie the score 2-2 in an eventual 4-2 loss to Donnacona. “I think we did very well,� said Twins manager Jamey Mick. “It was our first tournament of the season, and any time you make it to Sunday, you’re not complaining.�

ELECTRIC START

Local fans did have a little to cheer about Friday, however. West Carleton Electric rolled over Napanee Junior Express 7-3 thanks to a seven run explosion in the fourth inning.

Andy Barber claimed the mound triumph.

In the opening games of the competition, early Friday evening, Stittsville and Kars were winners. The 56ers edged GOFL league rival Manotick 1-0 with Darren Featherstone doing all of the damage. Featherstone was the winning pitcher and he accounted for the game’s only run with a solo homer.

Kars was paced by veteran Dan Jessiman who

homered, doubled and drove in five runs.

This marked the fourth year the tournament was held at Carp, and for a third straight year the weather cooperated. None of the games were delayed despite a few minor showers Sunday.

Until 2010 the competition was played at Carlington Park in west-central Ottawa.

But facility rental costs skyrocketed in the city

proper, prompting the organizing committee to seek another venue.

They settled on Carp Fairgrounds, hoping to attract more fans and increase revenues. The financial results have improved every year since the event was relocated.

The tourney namesake, the late Gil Read, led men’s teams to the Canadian championships in 1993, 1995 and again 1999. He

Abandoned Cubs do just fine on links The Renfrew Mercury

Sports - It’s always tougher with the bigger guys, as Mid-Town Flooring learned in Renfrew Golf Club rec league play July 22.

After winning the previous week’s flight B, the Mid-Towners advanced to the A flight, where they trailed the field after the first half of the two-week block of play.

Mid-Town had a cellar-dwelling total of 38 points, while the Abandoned Cubs led the pack with 46 points. Sitting second was Rowat Insurance at 44.

The scoring system rewards no points for double-bogeys or worse, one point for bogeys, two points for pars and three points for birdies.

In B flight, Finnigans and Yemen Electric shared first place with 43 points, three up on Scott’s Shoes and Cobus Homes.

In flight C action, Schwartz Drywall bulled its way to the lead with 43 points, leaving Pontiac a distant second at 38.

In flight D, it was State Farm Insurance 38, Swatters 35 and Renfrew Victoria Hospital 34.

Closest-to-the-pin winners were Eric Logan on the second hole, Keith Bilson on the fourth, Michael Tracey for No. 14 and Chris Crozier for the 17th.

Random draw winners were Brent Carson and Curt Spitznagel.

the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Algonquin College Summer Job Service.

Throughout the summer a student-funded through Family and Children’s Services/County of Renfrew Summer Employment training for teens program will tend to the sites and continue to water and pick vegetables when they are ready.

As vegetables ripen, they will be picked and delivered to the food bank for distribution to their clients.

“The continued support of everyone involved is tremendous,” said Caldwell.

“We’re happy to be able to provide fresh, locally grown produce to our community members” says Caldwell.

The community garden began last year and has already caught the attention of people in surrounding communities including Ottawa.

Caldwell was invited to speak at this year’s Community Solutions Conference hosted by Crime Prevention Ottawa and the Ottawa Police and is eager to share Renfrew’s continued success with other communities.

Community - The Community Garden at Oddfellows Park has increased in size this year due to popularity and a true sense of community.

A spring meeting with groups serving seniors, sparked an idea with Joanne Caldwell, Renfrew parks and recreation program developer.

At the meeting, a representative from the Renfrew and District Food Bank gave statistics on food bank usage and donations and the need for more donations was apparent.

Caldwell put a plan together and approached various groups to assist. After conversations with Jennifer Gardiner, Ontario Power Generation corporate relations and communications officer, OPG provided the funds necessary to purchase various plants for the garden, including cucumbers, beans, tomatoes and squash.

After a cool spring, the garden sites and planting were completed by program and special events leaders hired through the Parks and Recreation Department and partially funded through

High water levels, hot weather Civic Holiday weekend Community - Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is urging people to exercise extreme care around Ontario waterways this Civic Holiday long weekend, particularly on rivers and lakes near hydroelectric stations and dams.

According to Mike Martelli, OPG senior vice president Hydro-Thermal Operations, recent heavy rains, in many areas of Ontario, have lead

to high water levels. “Holiday weekends draw people to Ontario’s lakes and rivers. Please remember when near hydroelectric facilities, to obey all warning signs and buoys, and do not cross fences, booms, and barriers. Stay clear, stay safe,� says Martelli.

Most hydroelectric facilities are remotely controlled by operators located many kilometers away. Dams can be opened or stations can be started up throughout the day. This causes frequent and rapid changes in the water flow and levels. These

changing conditions create strong undertows, turbulence and sudden, powerful gushes of water moving downstream in what was once calm looking surface water.

The Ontario Provincial Police and Ontario Power Generation new public service announcement warns people of the dangers near hydroelectric dams and stations.

Visit www.opg.com/watersafety to watch the The Danger is Real, and see other unique online resources that will help you and your family stay safe this summer.

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Adding appraisals to the Victorian Tea at the Waba Cottage Museum and Gardens was so successful last year, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming back for an encore.

Four appraisers will be on hand for the ďŹ fth annual fundraising tea, scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 10 from 1-3:30 p.m. at the scenic gardens on Burnstown Road in White Lake.

More than 100 people brought items for appraisals in the ďŹ rst offering of the service in 2012.

New this year is Ottawa goldsmith A.J. Horton, who will appraise antique jewelry.

Cleary Constructionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mike Cleary of Sand Point is back to scrutinize heritage furniture. He is a former importer and dealer of ďŹ ne English antique furnishings.

CertiďŹ ed personal property appraiser, Kim Murray of Sand Point, also returns to evaluate antique dishes. The owner of HelpDownsizing.

Com, she has been an antiques and decorative arts dealer since 1986.

Murray has invited Linda Bromley, who came to last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tea and showed a great deal of knowledge about historical items, to join her.

People can bring up to three antique items, or photographs of them if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re too large to transport easily, to ďŹ nd out their history and about what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re worth. The appraisal costs $5 an item.

Or visitors can just come for the light lunch, a variety of homemade desserts and traditional afternoon tea elegantly served on ďŹ ne china by ladies and gentlemen in Victorian garb.

The tea will also feature live piano music.

The tea will be served under shaded canopies at tables for four. There

will be more room under the tea tents this year and that should reduce waiting time for guests.

The Victorian dresses of the servers are the inspired work of Joan Headrick of McNab-Braeside. She is a natural seamstress and receives high praise for her work outďŹ tting the volunteers who make the tea possible.

The only dress not Headrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creation last year was a bridesmaid dress worn by Fern Stewart. It was made by Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother.

The tea is organized by the Waba Cottage Museum and Gardens committee, with Headrick, Brenda Storie and Heather MacDonald playing lead roles.

In all, about 30 volunteers are involved in preparing and presenting the tea. Close to 200 people from all over the Ottawa Valley attended last year.

Tickets cost $10 each and can be bought in advance at the museum, by calling 613-623-8853 or on site the day of the tea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It (tea) showcases the museum and brings in a few dollars,â&#x20AC;? explained Headrick.

The money raised goes toward the upkeep and improvements at the museum.

While at the tea, visitors can tour the eight acres on the lake featuring 11 gardens and ďŹ ve historic buildings.

Waba Cottage is a facsimile of the original building that stood there from 1835 to 1936. It was built by community volunteers as a 1967 Centennial project.

The log church, farm and schoolhouse are original log buildings that have been moved onto the site.

The 11 gardens were designed and created for the 2000 Millennium.

Other facilities include washrooms, handicapped access, free parking,

Brown marmorated stink bug breeding in Ontario Community - Help protect our crops.

The Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB) is an invasive insect pest from Asia. It is now established in parts of southern Ontario.

Early detection in new geographic areas is important for limiting economic loss to Ontario agriculture. As an update to reports of homeowner finds of BMSB, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources have now found conclusive evidence that this invasive alien pest has established itself in Ontario.

Several life stages, including eggs, nymphs, and adults have been collected over the last few weeks in a homeowner garden and a wildlife sanctuary in Hamilton.

BMSB adults have previously been found at multiple homeowner sites (indoors) in Hamilton (2010-2012) and at a single site in Newboro.

There have been unconfirmed reports of BMSB in other locations OMAFRA and the University of Guelph have ongoing surveys for BMSB in field crops across the province; to date, the pest has not been detected in any crop.

The pest is highly mobile and can readily switch hosts, moving between crops throughout the growing season.

In 2010 and 2011, BMSB was seen in extremely high numbers in the mid-Atlantic region of the US, where growers reported significant economic loss in multiple crops (particularly tree fruit).

Adults overwinter in sheltered areas that may include homes and other heated buildings.

As they can aggregate in very large numbers, the BMSB has become a considerable nuisance pest for homeowners where established.

While the bugs do not bite humans, they will release a foul smell when handled or otherwise disturbed. They do not lay eggs or reproduce inside structures.

Aggregation in artificial structures is not common among stink bugs, and is a behaviour that provides an early warning of where BMSB has become established.

At the very least, these interceptions provide important information on where to target future surveys.

WHERE DOES IT COME FROM?

HOW TO HELP

BMSB is an invasive alien species native to China, South Korea, Taiwan and Japan. It was introduced to North America in the mid 1990s, and was first detected in Allentown, Pennsylvania in 2001. While BMSB is capable of natural spread, the pest is also an excellent hitchhiker and can be moved over large distances in cargo and vehicles.

At present it has been found in at least 37 states, though many of these are simply detections rather than confirmed as established in the field. BMSB has a very broad host range that includes tree fruit, berries, grapes, vegetables, agronomic crops, ornamental trees and ornamental shrubs.

Damage results when nymphs and adults feed on either vegetative or fruiting plant parts.

Early detection is important to the long term success of management programs.

We need to have a better understanding of where this pest is and how well it is established.

There is a monitoring network for this pest; however, we have a better chance of finding pockets of small populations if more people are looking. Tracking the distribution and spread is essential.

If you think you have found BMSB, contact the Agriculture Information Contact Centre at 1-877-424-1300 or email ag.info.omafra@ontario.ca.

Place the insect in a leak proof container and add rubbing alcohol, or freeze to kill it.

Arnprior council braces for worst, hopes for best pleboeuf@metroland.com

News - Frustration over the lack of progress toward a long-term joint recreation and library agreement with McNab-Braeside is brewing within Arnprior council ranks.

McNab-Braeside council will review the issue and make a decision whether or not to accept it in September after receiving results of a public survey, but until then Arnprior council is on pins and needles.

The pessimism expressed by some town councillors has even given rise to rarely used â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; words (amalgamation).

Arnprior has offered to extend the recreation agreement, which ends at yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end, for another year to give more time for a deal to be struck and get it extended past the 2014 municipal election. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bottom line is that McNabBraeside will make a decision and I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be not the right one,â&#x20AC;? Arnprior Councillor Dan Lynch said at Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we best have our ducks in order, so we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an unpleasant surprise when this thing happens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Either that or we amalgamate and we all pay the same,â&#x20AC;? he added.

Reeve Walter Stack is befuddled by the reticence to pay for recreation services coming from a percentage of senior residents.

R0012225763

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Recreation is a time-slot generational use,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids, children, up to their teen years are primarily using it and young adults. Then there may be a lull, but then seniors are coming back again.

Just look at the seniors that use our pool.â&#x20AC;?

There is an income barrier for many residents and cutting off the agreement would make it even harder for them to enjoy the recreation facilities, he added.

As a council we are here to advocate on behalf of our ratepayers and when we are currently paying ďŹ ve times as much for the use of services then our neighbors are â&#x20AC;Ś in my mind, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not fair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Can we bridge the gap completely?â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m realistic that we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reasonable to assume that we can close the gap somewhat.â&#x20AC;?

LACK OF LEADERSHIP?

The average McNab-Braeside single-family home contributes about $55 per year to town-based recreation and library services. This would increase by an additional $20 by 2016 if the existing agreement remained in place, but allows the township residents to use all library and recreation services and programs in Arnprior and Renfrew. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my estimation that is a fabulous deal,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Reid.

It would take about 29 years for McNab-Braeside, using the previously mentioned yearly fee, to pay for a single ice pad arena, which costs about $6 million to build, he maintained.

He pointed out that the township faces a potential adverse economic impact if it backs away from an agreement.

Most of McNab-Braesideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax revenue comes from residential

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always try to be pretty respectful of political boundaries, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll repeat again what I said two weeks ago,â&#x20AC;? said Stack. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To me, it is purely a lack of leadership in their community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand the lack of common sense,â&#x20AC;? he added.

It is fundamental that recreation and library services be core services offset by both the Arnprior and McNab-Braeside tax base, stressed Arnprior Mayor David Reid.

He said he is working tirelessly to help bring about a fair and equitable long-term agreement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too important of a subject not to give it our best effort,â&#x20AC;? said Reid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quite frankly, in my mind, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less about the money and more about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair for our own ratepayers.

IMPACTS

The Arnprior Chronicle-Guide and Renfrew Mercury invites all grandparents to

homes with one per cent coming from farmland and eight per cent coming from commercial and industrial facilities.

New homeowners typically want access to Arnpriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Renfrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recreation facilities, said the mayor.

Without this access, there could be loss of equity on those homes as well as reduced development and growth of residential buildings, he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Would it be unreasonable to assume that the potential revenue generated from those homes would be less?â&#x20AC;? asked Reid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my mind it would be. If you had a 5 per cent loss (of home value), that would be for that developer almost half a million dollars.

The question is what would impact would it have on future growth.â&#x20AC;?

Arnprior would also be affected if there is no joint library and recreation agreement.

The Nick Smith Centre and the Arnprior Library were built with both municipalities in mind. The facilities rely on user to make them viable, said Reid.

If McNab-Braeside users do not help with the costs, there could be a 3.4 per cent tax increase for Arnprior residents which would climb up to a 4.5 per cent increase by 2016, estimates the mayor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are going to have to look at a number of measures to offset the potential impacts,â&#x20AC;? said Reid.

MCNAB-BRAESIDE

Connected to your community

Fill out your survey, McNab-Braeside council urges residents Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News – McNab-Braeside council continues to encourage residents to return their surveys so they can get an accurate count of who uses which programs in the Town of Arnprior.

Surveys asking if ratepayers use recreation services and whether they’d be willing to financially support them went out in the latest tax bills.

There have been quite a few returned already, said CAO Noreen Mellema.

“By last week we had received over 1,200, and they’ve been coming in regularly,” she said.

With a deadline of Sept. 1 for the surveys to be sent in, council has decided to wait until the second council meeting of September (Sept. 17) to decide whether to extend the 2013 library and recreation agreements for 2014.

FEEDBACK

“I find it hard to make a discussion

on this at this particular time because we’re wanting to get surveys in and get feedback,” said Mayor Mary Campbell at council’s July 16 meeting.

Council decided last year the roughly $150,000 in recreation fees it pays to the town each year will not be coming off the tax base.

A joint recreation committee was formed to come up with several proposals, but activity has stalled for the summer until it is determined whether the township will agree to extend the existing payment rate for next year.

Council also appointed Lyle Barr to the township’s recreation committee.

Barr would like to become a member of the joint recreation committee when the group reconvenes.

The past two question periods at the end of the council meeting included residents concerned about the issue.

Barr said he’d heard a number of people were boycotting the survey.

“Many, many residents aren’t submitting theirs due to the fact they’re

R0012238718

concerned they’re going to get an unknown bill in the new year.

“What’s going to happen with all the ones that aren’t coming in?” he asked. “Can those be counted as supporting?”

Mellema said non-returned surveys will be counted as not wishing to financially support the services.

Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie urged residents to complete the survey.

“If you are really in support of this, please let us know and return the survey,” she said. “Send in your surveys.

You are the only ones who can tell us who wants to support his.”

BLANK CHEQUE

Blimkie, a member of the joint recreation committee, said the only proposal she’s seen so far is one that’s coming off the municipality’s tax base.

“That’s like writing a blank cheque and not knowing what we’re going to be charged,” she said.

“I have a moral obligation, I have to be accountable to the ratepayers.

Mayor Campbell said residents need to understand why the funds are not coming off tax base.

Last year council budgeted three per cent to cover the costs.

“It’s a huge percentage off the tax base,” she said.

Road work and fire department upgrades had to be put off.

“This year, this township bled money so you guys could have two more years at the Nick Smith Centre,” she said. Accurate numbers need to be compiled, something that’s been plaguing the situation.

“Right now we’re spending a third

of our recreation budget for what might only be 500 people,” said Campbell.

“The only way to make this work is to go to double digit tax increases, and we were dangerously close this year.”

Campbell said council kept the increase to 2.75 per cent and “cut back on all our own stuff.”

“We still had to add 1.75 to the tax base strictly to cover huge increases in recreation and library.”

A huge tax increase would disrupt households on fixed and low incomes.

“We’ve got 3,000 households and 7,500 people in the township,” she said.

Resident Brian Armsden urged council to reconsider the decision.

“I think council and the mayor need to really look – what are going to be the impacts to the programs your residents already use.

“You’re going to put them all in a shambles and there’ll be no programs altogether. My fear is in 2014, we’re going to have nothing,” said Armsden.

The amount I’m hearing bounced around is 10 per cent alone off the assessment.”

Blimkie said she is also concerned that the focus seems to be more on bricks and mortar than programming.

“We’re not Arnprior’s keeper and we cannot be responsible for their assets,” she said. “Discussions have been about upkeep of the Nick Smith Centre - not about programs, not about people,” said Blimkie.

Born July 23rd, 1962 in Arnprior, ONT - Passed away July 20th, 2013 in Radisson, SK After a long and gruelling struggle with cancer, Steve was finally able to break that mooring of misery and is now away and gone with the old ones and is sailin’ around in the ages. He leaves to mourn his beloved and beautiful Holly-Go Lightly: his wife, Monica - the true flower of his love and his daughter, Lindsay - a gracious chip off the old block...angels both. He also leaves his best friend and brother, Michael (Arch) and his lovely bride, Cathy of Arnprior, ONT and their growing brood. Steve will also be missed by his extended family from the valley and the prairies and other ports away; by his blonde cutie, Lisa; his steady lunch dates - Jerry, Lola; his good and solid chum Stan Holmes - know what Stan? Close enough is good enough. And a further grand pride of friends too numerous to mention. He also leaves a kid-sister, Kerri of Cornwall, ONT who always made him laugh... carry on Ker; as well as a son, Justin of Sooke, BC. The family would like to thank Dr. Nave and her amazing staff for all the years of kind guidance and care and the good souls at Home Care, especially Linda Hosegood who truly was a beacon of light in the last, dark days. Steve did not want a funeral service, but always said that if somebody wanted to throw a prayer or two his way, to feel free or, if you want, give a bum a buck or sign your organ donor card.

Finally, it was Steve’s wish that you consider him in the same light as a long-ago clergyman once considered one of his departed. “Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped into the next room. Nothing has happened. Everything remains exactly as it was... laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me....life means all that it ever meant... what is this death but a negligible accident? I am waiting for you, just round the corner. All is well, nothing is hurt; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before. How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again. (Henry Scott Holland). Please join us in celebrating Stephen’s life at the home of Michael & Cathy Schnob at 34 Kinsmen Crescent Arnprior on Sunday, August 4th beginning at 2:00 p.m. Tall tales and very long lies are expected.

Sail-on Stevie-boy, sail-on...
