Bark buddies The Town of Renfrew held its second Bark in the Park of the year on Aug. 6. A number of people and their best friends came out to the event at the Renfrew Dog Park at Ma-Te-Way Park. It was a jumping good time for Rory the Golden Retriever and her owner Jessica Belanger. For more photos see page 50.

We Made Our Name In

HARDWARE! www.scotthardware.com

The Ottawa Valley is embracing Olympian Melissa Bishop with signs of support.

Dana Jennings, the community development officer for Bonnechere Valley, helps with the Team Melissa Bishop Facebook page, which has issued a challenge to the Valley.

A recent post on the page says: “Community Challenge to all residential and commercial property owners to show your support for Melissa by decorating your homes, businesses, lots with whatever ‘Melissa’ support messages you can come up with.”

Jennings encourages everyone to participate.

“We knew in the past there were many supporters that came to the Eganville arena who came from Pembroke and Renfrew,” said Jennings. “We consider her an Ottawa Valley girl.

We thought it would be very fitting to put out this challenge.”

Eganville’s Bishop recently qualified to compete in the 800m at the Olympics in Rio by winning the Canadian 800m Championship with a record-breaking time of 1:59:32. In a meet near the end of July she broke her own record by winning the TrackTown Classic with a time of 1:57:52.

Jennings hopes the community gets behind Bishop.

“It’s important to show her we are all thinking of her,” said Jennings. “We totally support her endeavor of making it to the Olympics.”

Bishop set to race Aug. 17 “I have never met an athlete who is so down to earth” From front page

Signs can be picked up at the municipal office but she says the challenge is open to anything.

“Be creative. Put it in your window or on your front lawn,” said Jennings.

Once it is up she encourages everyone to email her danaj@eganville.com and she will put it on the Team Melissa Bishop Facebook page.

Already there are a number of signs posted on the Facebook page from Eganville to Cobden to Stittsville.

Locally, signs have already started to pop up. A tribute at McGregor’s Produce in McNab-Braeside says “We are cheering Melissa Bishop.”

In the Douglas area Barclay Dick and Son Farm Supply’s sign declares “Go Melisssa Go #YABISH.” (A popular social media hashtag when cheering her on.)

Jennings speaks very highly of Bishop.

“I have never met an athlete who is so down to earth.

She meets you on the street with a warm hello,” said Jennings.

And even though she attended the

University of Windsor and is close to the Nation’s Capital, Jennings recalls an interview when they said she was from Ottawa and she politely corrected them.

“She knows where she comes from, she takes pride in it and is always very gracious.”

The 27-year-old also competed in the 2012 Olympics and is looking forward to the Rio games.

“It’s a huge honour to wear the maple leaf and represent Canada,” said Bishop in a recent interview with Metroland Media. “You want to do well.

Every time I get the uniform it is something special.”

She will be competing in the 800m on Aug. 17 and 18, and hopefully in the final on Aug. 20.

Jennings says a viewing party at the Eganville and District Public School is already in the works. “We don’t know the times yet.

It will be no cost for anyone who wants to view the race as a community,” said Jennings.

Bishop did not participate in the opening ceremonies and arrived in Rio on Aug. 6.

She is active on Twitter @BishopMelissa where she is posting updates on her journey.

A number of local businesses are showing their support for Eganville Olympian Melissa Bishop with messages of encouragement on their signs.

Participants include Barclay Dick and Son Farm Supply, near Douglas, above. Bishop, who will race in the 800m on Aug. 17, arrived in Rio on Aug. 6. She posted a selfie to Twitter, left, with teammate Noelle Montcalm and tweeted ‘We’ve arrived in Rio.’ tiffany lepack/metroland and melissa bishop /twitter

A donation from Enbridge Gas Distribution has made a big splash for the Douglas Fire Department.

Enbridge, in partnership with the Ontario Fire Marshal’s Public Safety Council, donated $5,000 to help the department purchase fire training materials.

At the cheque presentation on Aug. 4 Douglas Fire Chief Terry McHale explained this is the second of this type of donation they have received from Enbridge.

“It’s a great thing because it makes it possible for us to order things we normally wouldn’t get our hands on,” said McHale. The chief said they are honoured to receive the grant.

“The funds provided to the department will help with the training and safety of our firefighters. Thank you,” said McHale in a press release on the donation.

The donation is part of Project Assist, which is a program that supplements existing training for Ontario volunteer and composite fire departments in the communities where Enbridge operates. This year’s $100,000 donation will be shared by 20 Ontario fire departments, including the Douglas Fire Department. Funds will be used to purchase educational materials for firefighters to enhance life-saving techniques. Other departments receiving funds include: Mississippi Mills, Renfrew, Horton and White Water Township.

“The Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council is proud to partner with Enbridge Gas Distribution for Project Assist. Firefighting is a dangerous and unpredictable profession and firefighters need to be prepared for any hazardous situation,” said Arthur Pullan, executive director of the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council, in the release. “Project Assist helps fire departments access a variety of training materials to supplement their regular training programs and ultimately contributes to firefighter safety on the job.”

Renfrew youth among charged after Arnprior house set on fire John Carter

john.carter@metroland.com

Five young males face attempted murder and arson charges after an incendiary device was thrown through the front window of an Arnprior home in the early morning of Saturday, July 30.

If it wasn’t for an alert neighbour, the whole complex of six Renfrew County Housing rowhouse units on Spruce Crescent could have burned down during the sleeping hours.

Three males from Arnprior, one from Renfrew and another from Pembroke have been arrested and were being held in custody pending a court appearance in Pembroke on Friday, Aug. 5.

Braydon Miller of Arnprior and Noah Neuman of Pembroke, both 20, were arrested in Kanata early on Tuesday, Aug. 2.

After a bail hearing, they were remanded in jail until at least Friday.

Later that day, OPP arrested three other suspects, Tedy Wolfe, 20, of Arnprior and juveniles from Arnprior and Renfrew. They were picked up in Arnprior and held for a bail hearing Aug. 3, when they were remanded into custody, also until at least Aug. 5.

Furthermore, Miller faces a charge of criminal harassment and one of the young offenders a charge of possessing a prohibited weapon.

Arnprior fire chief John Okum reported that firefighters were called to 26 Spruce Cres. at 6:06 a.m. Saturday after a woman across the street saw smoke coming from the

Derek Dunn/Metroland

A home at 26 Spruce St. in Arnprior had an incendiary device thrown through its front window in the early hours of July 30, report OPP. front of end unit #32.

While the unit had occupants, reportedly a woman and a baby, they weren’t home at the time of the fire, said Okum.

He said the neighbour who called 911 pounded on the door of the adjoining unit, alerting the woman living there. No one was injured in the fire.

Firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze, limiting it to the one unit. However, it had begun to creep from the entrance way

and the living room to a closet and up the stairs to the second story.

If the fire hadn’t been reported until later, it could have easily spread to the other rowhouses in the block, Okum said.

Early on in their suppression efforts, firefighters determined the fire was suspicious, so the OPP and the Fire Marshal of Ontario’s office were called. “Once the fire was out, it was clear it was likely not naturally occurring,” said Okum.

The fire had likely been smoldering for some time as the police report indicates the incendiary device had been thrown through the window at “approximately 4:39 a.m.”

OPP began an investigation right away and an official from the Fire Marshal’s office from the Ottawa area arrived by noon Saturday to assist and take over the fire scene from the fire department. An unmarked police car was seen in the area on Wednesday.

Anyone who has information in regards to the suspects and the offense is asked to contact Detective Constable Lori Birmingham of the Renfrew OPP at 1-888-310-1122.

People can also provide information at Crime Stoppers Pembroke/Renfrew County toll-free at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www. valleytips.ca.

The investigation is being carried out by the OPP’s Criminal Investigation Branch, assisted by Renfrew, Upper Ottawa Valley, Lanark and Kanata OPP crime units.

Indicating how serious police are taking the case, also involved are the East Region Intelligence Unit, Provincial Operations Intelligence Bureau and Forensic Identifica-

tion Unit. While the police are investigating the criminal aspect of the case, the Ontario Fire Marshal’s office is determining how and where the fire started.

An OPP release says all five suspects have been charged with: • attempt to commit murder; • arson – disregard for human life; • arson – damage to property.

As well as the criminal harassment charge against Miller and the prohibited weapon charge against one of the young offenders, the other juvenile faces a charge under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. The two juveniles cannot be publicly identified under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. ROWHOUSE FIRES

Okum noted that the increase in detached housing in communities such as Arnprior puts more stress on small volunteer fire departments. The potential of fires in rowhomes and condominiums growing into major blazes is more of a hazard in those areas.

When there is a fire in a detached home, it’s important to detect it early so it can be stopped from spreading, he said.

A small crew of firefighters attended the early morning Spruce Street fire, but knocked it down quickly. “They did a really good job,” said Okum.

Among the firefighters attending were seven recruits who have been in training with the department for the past year.

“They did a fabulous job,” Okum said.

“I’m very proud of them.”

Calabogie rink repairs should be complete by end of October Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

Plans are moving along to repair the Calabogie Rink, hopefully before Oct. 30.

At its July 26 meeting, Greater Madawaska council received a staff report stating the cost to fix the rink would be $32,352.

The contractor, R.P. Construction Inc., would pay a cash contribution of $15,392 towards the anticipated cost and the rink committee offered to pay the other half via cash and in-kind contributions.

According to Greater Madawaska Mayor Glenda McKay, council decided to wait on a report of total costs and they also wanted to see if there were any savings to be gained on the storage building that the rink committee was successful in getting a $95,000 grant to build.

“Once all costs are in, a decision will be made on who will contribute the other $16,000 for the rink roof repair,” said McKay in an email to the Renfrew Mercury.

She is excited they are finally in a position to move forward on making the needed repairs to the rink area, sooner the better.

“The need for repairs came as a surprise in the late fall of 2015 and it certainly was unfortunate that we could not open the rink last winter,” said McKay. “Since then, there has been a lot of hard work completed by volunteers, staff and members of council to get to where we are now, so it is great to be in a position to start the repairs with a target completion of the end of October.”

McKay sees the facility as more than just a rink.

“It is a symbol of community pride and spirit: This complex was envisioned by the community, and is a wonderful example of community volunteers building it for the community. Thank you!”

McKay sees the facility as more than just a rink.

“It is a symbol of community pride and spirit: This complex was envisioned by the community, and is a wonderful example of community volunteers building it for the community. Thank you!”

She says these same community volunteers are still continuing to develop their vision by applying for and receiving a $95,000 grant to provide storage space for recreational and entertainment equipment, in conjunction with raising the funds to pay of the $400,000 loan from the township.

To date approximately $220,000 has been paid off and their fundraising activities continues to exceed forecasts.

McKay also says as a physical contribution to the Village of Calabogie it provides additional opportunities for events.

“This complex opens the door for the township together with residents to develop our community centre property into a multi-use recreational and entertainment hub in new ways we could not have considered in the past,” said McKay. “We are a small community and

Serving The Valley Over 57 Years!

it is important to provide all our residents recreational and social options at home.”

McKay says it is important to get the rink up and running before Oct. 30.

“It has been closed too long. The target of Oct. 30 allows for some lead time to

have equipment moved and delivered prior to the ice going in.”

Climate change town hall planned for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke Staff

Three Renfrew County based environmental groups are hosting a climate change plan input session for the riding on Tuesday, Aug. 16.

The Pipeline Awareness Renfrew County, Bonnechere River Watershed Project and Ottawa River Institute organizations are encouraging interested people from all over the Renfrew-NipissingPembroke to participate in the town hall meeting in Eganville.

It will be held at 7 p.m. at the Eganville Legion.

The groups called the meeting in reac-

tion to the federal government’s call for public input on Canada’s national climate change plan. The session is being held to discuss citizens’ concerns on the topic and input will be forwarded to the federal government.

“Please come out and speak up in support of an ambitious national climate strategy,” urges the release announcing the meeting.

Refreshments will be provided and the legion is wheelchair accessible.

The three co-hosts suggest the following are some of the questions that should be tackled at the meeting: • What are the solutions to reducing

greenhouse gases that you would like to see governments, businesses, and communities implement?

• What are your ideas to support the economy and create good jobs while reducing emissions?

• What are some ideas to promote innovation and new technologies in the effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions?

• What can Canada do to better adapt to impacts of climate change on the environment and support affected communities, including Indigenous communities?

People can rsvp and find and more information by emailing parcrenfrew@ gmail.com or visiting parcrenfrew.org.

“Gifted” but “uncontrollable” child?

Don’t drug them…heal them!

The world needs them!

More and more, parents find their way into my clinic in a desperate attempt to make their life and their childs life easier. They usually have tried it all from counselling to medication and are at a point where it is no longer an option to just sit and wait for a miracle to happen.Their day to day challenges center around managing their child.The school calls to complain about their misbehaviour. Teachers often don’t know what to do, just as parents are at their width end with their patience. Arguments happen way too often and resentment, hatred and overwhelm become a way of life. Yet deep inside every mom and dad know their child is special…. soooo special! Just how can we turn things around?

Let me tell you a little story: A few month ago both parents brought their young teenager into my clinic. I work with all of them together but also provide confidential individual time if necessary, as the goal is to respect everyone.

Even though the child is going to be treated, mom and dad need to understand the ground work and rules and will be enlightened by my suggestions as it relates to their parenting style. This teenage boy was suffering from anxiety, ADD and ADHD. He is a bright and engaged young teenager, who loves to take control of his life. After the initial assessment I provided some energetic homeopathic remedies.

I showed the boy how to take the remedies and he took the first dose right in my office. At the end, I briefly spoke with mom in private, while dad and his son waited in the car.

Next month at the follow-up visit, mom was beaming from ear to ear and dad said: I can’t believe this, but he was another child from the first time he took a drop of your remedies! He immediately calmed down and was patiently waiting in the car for mom to come out, without getting impatient or angry as he usually would.” Mom continued saying:“I even can take him shopping now, without being afraid that I’ll have to run out of the store in embarrassment of him having a panic attack or a tantrum! His conflict resolution is so much easier and we are actually coming to a conclusion.” Then I turned to the boy and he smiled: “I don’t even have my nightmares anymore!”

Healing at it’s purest.No drugs,no side effects! Results can be this immediate! Heilkunst - the different kind of counselling - where everybody counts and not just the one treated. Embrace your family.

Can’t beat country fairs Fair season in the Valley begins in earnest today when the Arnprior Fair kicks off with, what else, a demolition derby and a country music show.

Yes, there have already been a few fairs in the Valley this summer (Almonte, Beachburg), but they are really too early to be counted. Fairs should be scheduled when the full heat of summer has passed, the days are growing shorter and the crops are nearing harvest ready.

Even the Arnprior, Pakenham and Cobden fairs are too early, but as there are so many great fairs in the Valley, it would be difficult to find another weekend for them.

With the summers growing hotter longer (thanks, climate change), it’s too bad there aren’t more open weekends later in the summer to reschedule the early fairs.

The Shawville and Renfrew fairs are well positioned to benefit from warm days and nights with a slight bite in the air. The Carp Fair dates are even better, falling on crisp cooler days of early autumn.

Fall fair rolls off the tongue. It sounds right.

Summer fair doesn’t.

Fortunately, the heat wave that has blanketed the area for several weeks now is expected to moderate a bit by the weekend, so it should be quite comfortable for people to enjoy the many attractions at the Arnprior Fair this weekend.

And there is plenty to see and do at this year’s fair. Hats off to the small core of fair board volunteers for revitalizing the fair and bringing it back to its roots.

Agricultural pursuits, especially those related to horses, will be well represented at the Arnprior Fair. With the Renfrew and Carp fairs already renowned for their horse shows, Arnprior is joining the party with heavy and miniature horse shows and a major team penning competition.

And more horse events are likely to be added next year.

While it’s unlikely to catch up to Renfrew, the Arnprior Fair is slowly building up its number of exhibits, a staple of rural fairs. So it’s on the right track.

And by bringing back the popular midway that used to thrill youngsters at the Renfrew Fair, Arnprior is narrowing the gap in that aspect too.

With the Renfrew and Arnprior fairs spotlighting the area’s agriculture roots, there’s another sector that the fairs could turn to if they are looking for new attractions.

With the Logger’s Memory Project being planned for Red Pine Bay and other areas around the region, it would be timely for local fairs to get in on the act now that the Lumber Baron Festival is only a memory.

Logger sports, demonstrations and displays would be both entertaining and informative, while paying homage to the lumberjacks who were instrumental in developing this area.

Entertainment, education, heritage. That’s always been the combination that has made the Upper Ottawa Valley’s fairs so popular.

So whether the weather is summerish or falllike, get out enjoy our area’s fair offerings starting this week in Arnprior.

Appreciate our young farmers Franchesca Weeks

Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario

We’ve all heard the phrase “young farmers are the future of agriculture.”

According to Stats Canada, the average age of Canadian farmers is 54, and rising. But is this actually the average age of the farm business owner?

In our observation, many of our family farms have 2 to 3 generations working on the farm. If all those working on the farm were included, this could bring the average INSIDE

We entertained the kids with carnival games, face painters, bouncy castles, a photo booth and a cotton candy machine. We also had amazing door prizes that were donated by our sponsors, including $100 gift cards, T-shirts, camping chairs, picnic backpacks and more.

At each location we had a food bin where farmers were able to donate non-perishable goods to the local food bank.

We thank our sponsors FCC, Beef Farmers of Ontario, Alpine, FBC, Jaylor, Grand Valley Fortifiers, Grain Farmers of Ontario and Meester Insurance on their amazing support. Without them we wouldn’t have been able to give back to the young farmers in these three districts.

Overall these were amazing events of fellowship, great food and entertainment.

We look forward to planning similar events for 2017 celebrating farmers of today.

A tale of two shorebirds Does the word ‘shorebirds’ conjure up an image of plump birds running along ocean beaches?

It might well, for sandpipers and plovers – the two main groups of shorebirds – migrate along coastal beaches in spring as they head north to Arctic tundra nesting sites and in fall as they head for South American beaches where they spend winter. Some species overwinter in Florida and Texas where human snowbirds encounter them during their winter hiatus.

But shorebirds also regularly stop by our area during migration, with flooded fields, beach shorelines (such as at Westmeath), and sewage ponds (such as the Almonte Sewage Ponds) being good places for seeing them. And there are several species that nest locally, including one with a very different family life.

The best-known local ‘shorebird’ is undoubtedly the Killdeer.

This common plover thrives in agricultural settings, and is unquestionably more common today than it was before colonization transformed forest to field. Their loud, plaintive ‘kill-deer, kill-deer’ calls and convincing broken-wing acts, put on when someone nears their nest on the ground, make Killdeers very recognizable.

Killdeers are plovers - bigheaded, large-eyed shorebirds that visually search for invertebrate prey on the surface of the ground.

Killdeer pairs remain together until their young become independent, with the males taking part in the incubation duties.

While most other plovers nest in the Arctic, the Piping Plover, an endangered species, is currently making a comeback in

southern Ontario. In addition to pairs nesting on beaches bordering Lake Huron, this year Piping Plovers also nested at Darlington and Presqu’ile Provincial Parks.

Three Piping Plover chicks hatched at Presqu’ile, the first time in exactly one hundred years since the species last nested there.

Due to a lack of extensive sand beaches, Piping Plovers will likely never nest in our region. However, in addition to Killdeer, there are several species of sandpipers that do nest locally.

These include the long-billed Wilson’s Snipe and American Woodcock, and the uncommon Upland Sandpiper, a long-legged, small-headed sandpiper that occasionally perches on telephone wires or fence posts bordering grassy fields in which it nests.

While you may not have seen any of those species, there is one common shorebird that you likely encountered along the shore of a lake or river.

That is the habitat of Spotted Sandpipers, small shorebirds with a heavily spotted breast and a characteristic bum-wagging walk.

MICHAEL RUNTZ

Unlike Killdeers, Spotted Sandpiper pairs don’t share parental responsibilities. In fact, these sandpipers are one of only a few species in the world that exhibit polyandry, a mating system in which females mate with multiple males and saddle them with most of the incubation and chick-rearing responsibilities.

A female Spotted Sandpiper courts a male, mates with him, lays eggs and then deserts him to court another male while the abandoned male incubates her eggs.

National armies pose little threat over medium term: MP Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

Foreign governments pose little threat to Canada over the next decade, but terrorists groups do, Cheryl Gallant said at a local meeting to discuss the country’s future military strategy.

The Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP held a public meeting to gain feedback on defence policy options. Armed with a set of questions drawn up by various national parties, Gallant and other MPs across Canada will bring their findings back to Parliament Hill for government and Conservative Party consideration.

The comment about traditional warfare, however, came with a caveat related to insurgency and terrorist organizations.

“The generals are telling us they don’t see state actors as enemies over the next 10 years,” Gallant said.

“Non state actors like ISIL are a different story.”

The remarks came during a discussion on missile defence.

Canada has none, though Russia, North Korea, and Iran are possible threats.

And rogue elements getting hold of one is even greater.

“What keeps our military leaders up at night is if one is put on a vessel and eventually reaches its target,” said Gallant.

One of the three members of the public on hand at the Wing in Renfrew on the afternoon of July 28 suggested government monitor for missiles but not allow interceptors on Canadian soil.

The hope is the U.S. will cut off a Russian missile in the far north before it reaches major population centres.

That said, should conflict break out between the two super powers, all agreed Canada will suffer the fallout.

Views were split on whether joint U.S.-Canada operations in the north are enough in both frequency and size.

TOWN OF RENFREW

PUBLIC INFORMATION SESSION Baldwin Street Reconstruction

But all agreed that clear communication is crucial.

Where communication is lacking so is leadership, one participant indicated.

A question was posed that would affect at least two large local employers.

“Should economic benefits to the Canadian industry be a consideration in the defence procurement process?”

Haley Industries near Renfrew and Arnprior Aerospace both benefit from building parts for the Government of Canada.

Should the feds protect those jobs or pick whoever offers the best return on investment?

Gallant spoke briefly about the controversial F-35 jets deal, then talked about competitors who lose a bid crying foul, forcing a re-do, which adds to delays.

She was told the manufacturing sector has been devastated over the last few decades and that it should be brought back.

“If we can produce it, we should.”

Inter-provincial bickering can be reduced by determining which jurisdictions do a particular product Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant says foreign govern- well, and stick with them. Others ments pose little threat to Canada over the next decade, but terrorists should or do specialize in other sectors. groups do.

A popular new program at the Burnstown Beach has been temporarily derailed by vandals.

The OPP are investigating the theft and vandalism last week of McNab-Braeside township-owned kayaks and paddle boards.

The thieves struck overnight midweek. Among the casualties were two kayaks stolen and one smashed.

On Thursday, the township issued the following notice on its website: “Our paddling equipment rentals are currently on hold until further notice due to theft and vandalism at the Burnstown Beach.

“We will advise when these rentals are available again. We appreciate your patience during these unfortunate circumstances.”

The township began offering the paddlesport equipment in June.

Council approved rental rates at $10 an hour to a maximum of $40 per day with a $50 refundable damage/ security deposit.

The rates were deemed comparable to that charged by other outlets in the area.

The Braeside community is rallying together in support of one of their own.

A “day of fun and fellowship” has been organized this Saturday, Aug. 13 to help well-known Braeside resident Daryle Meek in his fight against cancer.

The ‘Strike Out Cancer - Fun Day for Daryle Meek’ will begin at noon and run all afternoon, rain or shine, at the Braeside RA Centre.

The multi-faceted fundraiser will feature a ball tournament,

horseshoes, music by Jesse, a barbecue with special chef Dan Leblanc and a corn roast.

Everyone is invited to come out to join the Meek family and play ball in the informal fun tournament. As organizers say, “we hope to strike out cancer and have a ball doing it.”

McNab-Braeside council has thrown its support behind the event, providing the RA centre facilities for free.

At its Aug. 2 meeting, council agreed to waive the $85 ball diamond fee and the $75 fee for the hall in case it rains and the event moves indoors.

Mayor Tom Peckett introduced the motion, noting that it is typical of McNab-Braeside folks to band together to help a resident of the area struggling with health problems.

Deputy Mayor Brian Armsden called the decision to waive the fees a “no-brainer” and urged that “everyone come out and have a fun day” in support of Meek and his family.

The organizers are doing a great job, he added.

For more information, call John Storie (613-761-2558), Brenda Storie (613-623-6883) or Leblanc (613-623-7454).

Police investigate mischief at MAC Police investigated a mischief at the Ma-Te--Way arena on July 27.

Four youths were inside the facility and one youth let off a fire extinguisher. The youths were apprehended by police. One youth has been charged with Mischief Under and was released on a Promise to Appear.

Overall police investigated five break and enters and 16 thefts last week.

On Aug. 1, police were called to a disturbance on New Street in Renfrew. Police attended the scene and as a result a 47 year-old-male from Renfrew was arrested for being intoxicated in a public place.

He was charged under the Liquor Licence Act for being intoxicated in public and the Tobacco Tax Act for possession of unmarked fine cut tobacco.

During the past week officers

from the Renfrew OPP investigated 10 domestic disputes, two family disputes and three assaults in which no charges were laid. On July 29, police were called to investigate a disturbance in the Town of Renfrew.

As a result of the investigation, a 59 year-old male of Renfrew was charged with uttering threats and released on a Promise to Appear in Renfrew Court on the Sept. 7.

Summer Company inspires youth to pursue business opportunities Six students, including two in Braeside and Burnstown, are running their own businesses in Renfrew County this summer with help from the Summer Company Program.

The youth entrepreneurship initiative provided the young people with the opportunity to create their own summer job.

Enterprise Renfrew County selected the successful applicants.

Funded by the Ontario Government, the Summer Company program complements Ontario’s Youth Jobs Strategy by investing in training youth so they can develop their skills and contribute to Ontario’s economic growth.

The successful students are: • Travis Davison – Trav’s Lawn Care in Braeside takes care of all people’s lawn care needs. Contact him at 613-805-0395 or travs. lawncare10@gmail.com.

Summer Company is administered by Enterprise Renfrew County and business consultant, Colleen Sadler, says it offers a wonderful incentive to young people who are interested in being entrepreneurial.

“We know that small business makes up the greatest percentage of new jobs that are being created in Renfrew County and the Summer Company Program helps participants gain real life work experience in business that is meaningful for youth that have entrepreneurial aspirations,” she said.

“It gives them their first exposure to running a business and we have had many success stories in recent years as program participants have gone on to post-secondary education with the intention of eventually starting their own business, or have grown their summer company business into a full time career.”

By participating in the program, participants will receive business training, mentoring and assistance from local community leaders that will support them in the day-to-day operation of their enterprise. Sadler calls it, “grassroots job creation, as these young minds are being nurtured and encouraged to pursue their dreams of establishing their own business.”

Almost 7,000 students in Ontario have launched a summer business through Summer Company since 2001. Enterprise Renfrew County has delivered the program for the past 15 years with 116 youth participating.

Yaki brings the fun to RPL

Children’s entertainer Yaki performed for young Renfrew Public Library patrons on Wednesday, July 20. Yaki sang, played guitar and even made several balloon creations for guests. Richard Bourbeau (aka Yaki), began to write music for his children soon after their birth. One song led to another, and soon he began performing these songs at his children’s day care, and then their primary schools. His songs are funny, educational, and easy to relate to. He has played for groups of a few individuals, and up to groups of 700. The Renfrew Public LIbrary children’s department continues to host a number of activities in the month of August. Daily activities begin at 11 a.m. Participant maximum is 20 so participants are advised to arrive early to avoid disappointment. Lego club runs on Saturdays from 11-12:30 p.m. The TD summer reading club will wrap up with a party on Aug. 24 at the library.

One of the beneficiaries of a giant yard sale fundraiser in McNab-Braeside Aug. 12-13 will be ‘Wilma’, shown keeping cool at her foster home in the latest heat wave. The rescue dog needs surgery to fix her ACL.

‘Huge’ yard sale to benefit mission school, animal rescue A giant yard sale at Country View Mini Mart (formerly known as Cherry’s) at Calabogie Road and Highway 17 will raise money for a double cause this Friday and Saturday (Aug. 12-13).

The ‘huge’yard sale, bottle drive and barbecue is a fundraiser for Bailey’s on a Mission and Valley Animal Rescue’s EmptiesforPaws initiative.

Among the generous donations given to the sale are the remaining contents of the former Goshen Flea market as well items from the Red Roof Trading post.

As well, the donations from family and friends have been overwhelming, report organizers.

The sale will start at noon on Friday until traffic lessens and then will restart Saturday around 8 a.m.

Bailey Plunkett of Renfrew is raising money for a mission trip to build a school.

As well as sharing proceeds of the yard sale, she will be holding a barbecue, selling hotdogs for the two days.

Along with the yard sale fundraiser, EmptiesforPaws will have a drop-off for

empty bottles.

Volunteers have had a new drop-off bin built and will unveil it on the weekend.

Artist Annette Lemieux Parent painted the door of the bin for free.

The Mini Mart will be a new permanent location for the bin to allow people to drop off empties at any time.

Proceeds from the empties go to Valley Animal Rescue.

The rescue is currently working hard to raise money for a sweet three-year-old husky mix named Wilma to help fund her ACL surgery.

The dog could have been put down if the rescue organization hadn’t accepted her from an animal shelter in late May. The estimate for the surgery alone is $4,000.

Wilma, who gets along well with other dogs and children, will be available for adoption when she has recovered from her surgery. People can also make a donation towards Wilma’s surgeryonline at https:// www.canadahelps.org/…/valley-…/wilmasmedical-needs/.

Bergin, 20, and Solar, 18, have been collaborating musically for the past few years, and have performed live together at several venues, including the recently departed Neat Cafe in Burnstown. But July 30’s effort, in an open town square, with just the two of them and whoever might pass by, was their first and only shot at performing alone in an open and easily accessible spot.

And the result was right on target.

“We both love to do this sort of thing, and were looking for an opportunity to share our excitement around music with our community,” said Bergin, a St. Joseph’s Catholic High School grad now studying at Canadore College in North Bay. “It’s a big thrill to perform like this, in front of your family, your friends, and anyone kind enough, or interested enough to stop by.”

“A really good time,” added Solar, also a recent Jaguar grad and

off to St. Lawrence in Kingston in September to study music. “We just love to play together, and it looked as if the audience appreciated it as well. So, all in all, a really good way to spend an afternoon.”

Danny Dubeau of Dandee Music was on hand to support the young duo with concert audio equipment and some in-concert sound engineering. He took a moment to make some remarks before introducing the final number.

“Quinn’s 18 years old, but I can tell you right now that, by the time this young man is 25, he’ll be one of the best guitarists in Canada.

And Sonya? Well, Sonya’s proven over and over again that she’s talented in so many ways, and you’ll be seeing her on the charts in the near future.”

Dubeau also took note of the occasion and gave it some perspective.

“You’ll be hearing a lot from these two in the years ahead. I just want you to remember that you were a part of it, today, when you saw them live right here in a small square in Renfrew.

“Very close and very intimate. In that sense, we just might be a part of some history here.”

Arnprior Fair runs Aug. 11-14

Options offered for Loggers Memory Project John Carter

John.carter@metroland.com

A timely tribute to area loggers is going ahead despite it not being successful in receiving a Canada 150 grant.

The Loggers Memory Project fits in well with the announcement last week that the Ottawa River is finally receiving heritage status.

Coun. Heather Lang updated McNab-Braeside council on the project at its July 19, providing some estimated costs of a display at Red Pine Bay on the Ottawa River.

Councillors expressed continued support for the project and encourage Lang to keep working on it and explore other grant opportunities. “Let’s keep the momentum going on this,” said Deputy Mayor Brian Armsden, adding that he admired Lang’s “persistence and passion” for the project.

He suggested the memory project be part of a 10-year plan to rehabilitate the whole Red Pine area. “We should get input from residents and councillors on how to improve area,” he said. “We can

make it a destination similar to Burnstown Beach.”

Mayor Tom Peckett said that if the park is to become more popular the township should do something about the lack of parking. The large number of vehicles parked along the road at the Riverfest and Canada Day celebrations “was not good,” he said.

He said the township has a couple of acres of brush in the area that could be turned into safer parking.

Lang’s presentation included five different scenarios for the Red Pine Bay portion of the project only, ranging in cost from $133,401 for the original vision to $84,494 for the least expensive. Money could be saved with shorter rails, fewer photographs and a different type of platform than first envisioned, she explained.

Council agreed that another grant program is worth having the treasurer checking into, even if Lang feels the project is not likely to fit the criteria.

Coun. Mark MacKenzie suggested the township

should ask its neighbours, such as Horton and Arnprior, to support the project’s grant applications.

“They have a similar history and involvement in the logging industry,” he said. Their support could carry some weight … make this a regional issue.”

Carvings

Council has approved the expenditure of up to $3,000 to have three large donated White Pine logs carved into two benches and two sculptures.

Councillors agreed that as the logs had been donated in good faith, they should be carved before they degraded too much to be useful. The logs have been lying behind the public works building.

One of the carvings could be placed at the entrance of the new municipal building and the other at Red Pine Bay. The benches would also likely be located at Red Pine Bay. The money for their carving is being taken out of the Red Pine Bay project budget.

It’s fair game to forget about your troubles and have fun in Arnprior this week.

For it’s Arnprior Fair time with four days of attractions, entertainment, rides and excitement at the fairgrounds. And the forecast for the 162nd annual fair is for warm and sunny weather all week, with a slight cool-down for the weekend.

This year’s fair, which kicks off today (Thursday) and runs through Sunday, includes several old favourites (two demolition derbies, World’s Finest Shows midway, Dock dogs) and a renewed emphasis on horse events and exhibits (for the full schedule, see pages 44 and 45).

The horse events include a return for three days of a major team penning competition hosted by the local organization along with a heavy horse show at 1 p.m.

Saturday and a miniature horse show Sunday at 9 a.m. with both hitch and line classes.

The fair board is hoping to add a light horse show to the equestrian offerings next year.

The Ontario Chariot and Chuckwagon Association is bringing in its horses and riders for mini-chuckwagon races both Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

For the younger horse lovers, there will be the Ross and Debbie McCaig and Sons petting zoo and pony rides.

The fair board has put the disappointment of a midway’s sudden cancellation three years ago and is delighted to welcome back again last year’s favourite, World’s Finest Shows.

With the Renfrew Fair dropping the company for Carter shows, World’s Finest Shows is bringing its full complement of rides to Arnprior on its way to the Capital Fair, which opens Aug. 19.

The fair opens today (Thursday) with a demolition derby at 7 p.m., followed by Rudy and Saddle Up. On Friday, the fair is again hosting a morning at the fair for special needs folks and their families who can enjoy free rides and lunch from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The fair will be in full swing by Friday afternoon and that evening’s entertainment includes Rainwater Whiskey and The Road Hammers.

While the latter are expected to be a big draw, Rainwater Whiskey played the Arnprior Agricultural Society’s Ranch Night in May “and they kept everyone dancing all night.”

Saturday’s offerings include shows by the Sentimentalists Mysterion and Steffi Kay, a change to test your dog in the Dock Dogs pool at 2 p.m., the main demolition derby at 6 p.m. and Switchgear at 9 p.m.

More fans will be able to watch the demolition derby in comfort this year as the bleachers have been expanded to hold 800 people.

Matt Grant of The Great British Pasty Pie Co. has been crowned the Pasty Ambassador at the World Cornish Pasty Competition.

Last year at the same event his pasty placed fourth and this year he received one

of the top awards.

“One of the organizers said this is the most coveted award,” said Grant. “This is the award that everyone wants.”

This is the first time the award has been given to a Canadian.

Grant says he is very proud of the award.

“I take it everywhere with me, I’m scared it might break!”

Matt Grant of The Great British Pasty Pie Co. holds up his Pasty Ambassador award for his delicious homemade pasty he recently won in the United Kingdom, he is the first Canadian to win this coveted award. son who embodies the event and someone who does a lot of work promoting pasties.

“That’s all I do and I think I am doing a good job,” said Grant. “It makes me think I’m doing a good job with my pasties. It makes me feel like my pasties are worthy.”

A pasty is a semi-circular pastry with a crimped like edge with different fillings inside, Grant has 15 different types, something for everyone.

“Pasties come from Cornwall, so to be recognized by the World Championship in Cornwall is a huge honour,” said Grant.

“My dad grew up in Plymouth, which is the next county over, that’s the closest my roots get to Cornwall.”

Grant recently travelled to England for the contest.

“I was up for 24 hours straight, it was brutal,” Grant recalled.

Grant who moved to the Arnprior area in the 1980s from England stayed with relatives just outside of London.

“I stayed with my Aunt, she came and helped me get set up,” said Grant. “The roads were very different and made travelling longer.”

The week before he was able to work on new recipes and the morning of the event he arrived in the morning to set up his bacon and cheese pasty.

“You have to have one for display and one for the judges to sample,” said Grant.

After he set up he was able to explore the Eden Project, which is a large bio-dome area.

The 40-50 judges examined the delicious items for the Oggy (another name for a pasty) Oscars and the winners were announced shortly after 5 p.m.

Grant was backstage talking to one of the organizers who asked him about his background.

Grant thought he was going to be mentioned in the ceremony because he had travelled the furthest to compete.

“He was on stage and started to say all the information about me how I had travelled 3,000 miles to be there, then he said the award goes to Matt Grant!”

He was quite excited to receive the honour.

“I was quite blown away as I walked up on stage, due to the fact it was such a prestigious award,” said Grant.

He thinks the international recognition is a big deal.

“I want to make the best pasties in the world,” said Grant. “I will get there someday.”

LOCAL SALES

Grant sells the pasties via his website http://gbpastyandpie.ca with a pick-up at Arnprior Home Hardware Friday nights at 6 p.m.

Starting in June he will be at the Beachwood Market in Ottawa and some other local places, check out his calendar on his website.

Grant only sells his pasties frozen, people can pre-order them or pick them up at a market.

“You’re going to see my smiling face when you buy them from me.”

The pasties cost $6 to 7 depending on the ingredients or you can purchase a bakers dozen sample pack with one of each for

Timberwolves start season with new logo, camp starts Aug. 16 Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

The Renfrew Timberwolves are raring to go for the 2016-2017 season in the Central Canada Hockey League 2 with a new logo, revamped dressing room and a new coaching staff.

The team unveiled its new look at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre on Aug. 4 and team president Derek McGrimmon says the new look turned out well.

“I think it’s awesome. It is good for the kids,” said McGrimmon.

He said the executive decided to do something new this year and together they all worked on the new look, which is a little scarier than the former wolf.

“I think it is more intimidating than the other wolf for sure,” said McGrimmon.

The logo is not only new for the Junior B team but Renfrew Minor Hockey will also be adopting the new look.

“They will all be able to dress here, so it will make it a big deal for them and hopefully they will play for us some day,” said McGrimmon.

Derek Scheuneman, president of the Renfrew Minor Hockey Association, says the idea is to start integrating the new logo with the rep teams and do two teams per year. “The idea is to have that sense of community,” said Scheuneman.

“One thing that has been missing in the last few years is the teams haven’t been able to identify with the Junior B team. It’s now a oneteam, one-community approach.”

He hopes to change the jerseys in a cost-effective manner and have all the rep teams changed over in three years.

“We want the five-to-17-yearolds to think they are a part of the

Renfrew hockey community,” said Scheuneman.

The logo is fresh and new, he said. “I think we were certainly overdue for a change,” said Scheuneman. Now the young kids will have the same jerseys as some of their local heroes.”

“Everything is brand new,” said Fleguel. “We wanted the kids to see we are all the same, we are a family.

You start out at a very young age and you aspire to be that guy (on the Junior B team). That’s pretty cool that they can look up to these guys.”

Fleguel is looking forward to the new season with McGrimmon as president.

“He’s put a lot of money into

this organization with our executive and the people who vote,” said Fleguel.

“He has agreed to put money into this team in order to keep it here.”

McGrimmon revealed he put anywhere from $20-40,000 into the revamp, along with contributions from the town and some sponsors.

A number of local businesses helped with the new look.

The team hopefuls will hit the ice for the first time on Aug. 16 for training camp, which runs Aug. 16, 17, 18 and 23 from 8 to 10 a.m.

“Hopefully we will take more kids from the area and will develop them. I think we will have younger kids this year and maybe a few years down the road we will win it all,” said McGrimmon.

“We want a local flavour back on the team,” added Fleguel.

New coach Mike Riopelle, from Renfrew, is looking forward to getting on the ice.

“I have phoned everyone in the Renfrew area who is eligible,” said Riopelle, who will be coaching with his son Jesse, who won a few championships with the Timberwolves.

“The ones that are here from last year are coming back so that’s encouraging.”

The team will play three exhibition games, two of them at home.

On Aug. 25 at 8 p.m. Renfrew will host Richmond.

Jesse Riopelle three-peats as Dragonfly club champion Bill Rainboth

Dragonfly Golf Links General Manager

Let’s start off with the shot that was heard around the world on Wednesday. Aug. 3. Ok, maybe it was only heard around the par three fifth hole as Randy Lacroix had a hole in one with his nine iron. Congrats to you sir!

The Dragonfly Club Championship took place on the long weekend in August (that just happened to be in July this year).

Jesse Riopelle, winner in 2014 and 2015, was out to defend his title in 2016. Junior golfer Jack Quinn gave him a real challenge this year but it was Riopelle who once again emerged victorious with a two-day total of two over par. Donna Falcon was the ladies champion, and Norm Peterson successfully defended his 2015 senior championship to repeat.

Low net champion was Jared Riopelle who despite some early season struggles, has found his ‘A’ game of late. Thanks and congratulations to all who participated. In Tuesday Men’s League Team action, Aikenhead’s had the prescription to great

golf to take A flight and Team VAC Electric surged to take B flight. The Yolkowskie Hackers will need to change their name if they continue at this pace, winning C flight by five strokes. Rob ‘Bubbly’ Kimberly was closest to the pin on #13, and Steve ‘Bullitt’ McCarrol was closest on #18.

On Wednesday night the Skunk Alley Boys came up smelling like roses to take A flight, and the Rink Rats ‘went top cheese’ with the low score of the week, a 61, to take B flight. Closest to the pin went to the captain of the Skunk Alley Boys, Craig Brisco on #13, and Brian (don’t call him Jeff) Brydges was closest on #18.

In ladies action, Thursday saw Team “Seriously” (?) take A flight and the Sweet Peas tasted to the victory of B Flight. Val Beimers was closest to the pin on # 18.

Just a heads up for a great day coming up on Monday, Aug. 15, where you can play golf for only $10 with the purchase of a power cart, and then stick around after for Open Mik Night with Mike McCormick starting at 7 p.m.

Online condolences/donations: www.gouletfuneralhome.com – JUST A COMMON SOLDIER (A Soldier Died Today)

by A. Lawrence Vaincourt

We think of you every day and laugh often at the memories. Missing you still. We shed an occasional tear, but we know that you are together in a perfect place.

Always in our hearts, Claire, Rob, Tami, Cailean and Kyle

2x42IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM

He was getting old and paunchy and his hair was falling fast, And he sat around the Legion, telling stories of the past.

Of a war that he had fought in and the deeds that he had done, In his exploits with his buddies; they were heroes, every one.

And tho’ sometimes, to his neighbors, his tales became a joke, All his Legion buddies listened, for they knew whereof he spoke.

But we’ll hear his tales no longer for old Bill has passed away, And the world’s a little poorer, for a soldier died today.

He will not be mourned by many, just his children and his wife, For he lived an ordinary and quite uneventful life.

Held a job and raised a family, quietly going his own way, And the world won’t note his passing, though a soldier died today.

When politicians leave this earth, their bodies lie in state, While thousands note their passing and proclaim that they were great.

Papers tell their whole life stories, from the time that they were young, But the passing of a soldier goes unnoticed and unsung.

Is the greatest contribution to the welfare of our land A guy who breaks his promises and cons his fellow man?

Or the ordinary fellow who, in times of war and strife, Goes off to serve his Country and offers up his life?

PEPLINSKI – In loving memory of Dominic Michael Peplinski. September 25, 1946– August 5, 2013 Fondly loved and deeply mourned, Heart of my heart I miss you so; Often my darling my tears will flow; Dimming your picture where’er I go: ‘Tis sad but true, I will abide Until someday we’ll be side by side.

Love Julie Peplinski and Family

2X45 IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM

A politician’s stipend and the style in which he lives Are sometimes disproportionate to the service that he gives.

While the ordinary soldier, who offered up his all, Is paid off with a medal and perhaps, a pension small.

He was just a common soldier and his ranks are growing thin, But his presence should remind us we may need his like again.

For when countries are in conflict, then we find the soldier’s part Is to clean up all the troubles that the politicians start.

GOULET FUNERAL HOME

1x72

HOCKEY SCHOOL every Saturday

Should you find yourself in danger, with your enemies at hand, Would you want a politician with his ever-shifting stand?

Or would you prefer a soldier, who has sworn to defend His home, his kin and Country and would fight until the end?

If we cannot do him honor while he’s here to hear the praise, Then at least let’s give him homage at the ending of his days.

Perhaps just a simple headline in a paper that would say, Our Country is in mourning, for a soldier died today.

You filled the world with special joy And happiness untold, You always had a sunny way And a lovely heart of gold.

You made life so much brighter Just by being thoughtful, too, And saying kind and helpful things Was typical of you.

That’s why it’s hard to face the world And know you won’t be there, Lighting up life so warmly with your smile beyond compare.

The memories you’ve left behind Grow sweeter day by day But you are missed dear Loved One, More than any words can say.

With love Adele and family

COMING EVENTS

It’s so easy to forget them for it was so long ago, That the old Bills of our Country went to battle, but we know It was not the politicians, with their compromise and ploys, Who won for us the freedom that our Country now enjoys.

I think about you always, I talk about you too.

I have so many memories, But I wish I still had you.

Renfrew BlueSox lead baseball players into provincial championship on July 30 Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

Host team Renfrew Blue Sox led the parade July 30 for the Minor Provincial Baseball Championships, held at Ma-Te-Way Park.

Eight teams from across the province – including Oakville Whitecaps, Ottawa West Twins, Timmins Lynx, Windsor South Canadians, Orleans Red Sox, Brockville Braves, and Pembroke Pirates – play ball until the finals on Aug. 3.

All teams were welcomed onto the field

by Mayor Don Eadey, who stressed the “memories you will create” and good fortune to later shake hands on the street and share the good times had on the ball diamond.

Also speaking during the opening ceremony was Blue Sox Owen Tracey reciting the player pledge, organizer Angela Fraser with her own pledge, Sonya Bergin sang O

Canada, and Ottawa Champions general manager Ben Hodge tossed the ceremonial first pitch.

The Blue Sox got off to a bit of a rocky start in the opening game against the Braves. Brockville’s lead off batter bunted the first pitch. He eventually came around to score on a double by the number two batter.

Renfrew’s roster consists of Owen Tracey, Corson Scobie, Mackenzie Earle, Owen Daber, Courtney Vander Ploeg, Carter Griese, Reed Griese, Davis Runtz, Dawson Pennock, Colin Charron, Carter Dubeau, Easton Clarke, and Kayson Stone. Team manager is Peter Lepine; assistant coaches are Lucia Tracey and Steve Earle.

It was a great atmosphere at Tye Diamond, proudly showing off its new scoreboard for the first time. Beavertails was also serving in the parking lot. And a roast beef dinner banquet was set for Ma-TeWay Centre on Saturday night.

Oakville wins provincial baseball championships in Renfrew Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

The Ontario Little League Minor Provincial Baseball Championships all came down to one inning to decide the victor.

The Oakville Whitecaps and Brockville Braves battled it out in a hard-fought game at Ma-Te-Way Park on Aug. 5. The Whitecaps were proclaimed the Minor League Ontario Champions for 2016. They bested the Braves in a seventh and extra inning of play with a final

score of 6-4.

“The executive of Renfrew minor baseball feels we did very well, for our first time hosting the Ontario Little League Minor Provincials,” said Angie Fraser, one of the organizers of the event. “There were a few small errors but nothing serious.”

The two Little League teams were the last ones standing out of a playing field that included Ottawa West Twins, Timmins Lynx, Windsor South Canadians, Orleans Red Sox, Pembroke Pirates and Ren-

frew Blue Sox. The final game went scoreless through the first four innings. It was during the fifth that the Whitecaps finally managed to get on the scoreboard with three runs. The Braves were able to hit back with two of their own for a 3-2 tally to head into the sixth and final inning.

The Whitecaps were kept scoreless and the Braves had the chance to win. The Brockville group got to tie it though, and it came down to the umpire call at home plate to make it happen.

This led to the extra inning and basically what decided the game. A wild bounce and the ball missing a glove were a few of the contributing factors for the Whitecaps to get ahead and eventually win the match-up.

Unfortunately, the Renfrew Blue Sox lost their three games. “They played hard, they are a very young team,” said Fraser. “We hope this event will inspire our kids. It is more than winning though. Our district has been very quiet. It’s time we get out there and be more

involved with Little League.”

The kids were able to make new friends with trading pins and the other teams enjoyed the banquet dinner, which was catered by Karras’ Way and every player received a maple bat from Sam Bat in Carleton Place.

“We made it as easy as we could on parents,” she said. “We hope to host another in a few years so we will be better prepared next one.

[It was] an experience we will never forget.”

Find your ‘find’ at new Renfrew business Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

When you think ‘once upon a time’ you may think of a fairy godmother helping you put together the perfect outfit.

Well, now in Renfrew, there is Once Upon A Find, a store that will help you locate a number of shopping needs.

Cindy Ebert, who opened the store at 178 Plaunt St. on Tuesday, Aug. 2, said it is a family-run business with her two teenage daughters, Faith and Emily, both helping out as well as her husband Lenny (he helped finalize the store name after a popular television show the family watches).

Cindy admits the biggest challenge was coming up with a name.

They love the show Once Upon A Time and when they were bouncing around names Lenny suggested the moniker that would stick.

“It means it is unique and different and you might find your find here,” explained a nervous and excited Cindy on her first day of business.

The store is comprised of a mix of new and gently used items. “Once Upon A Find is our little store with big ideas,” said Cindy.

“We want it to be welcoming and homey,” added Faith.

She thinks it fills a void for shoppers.

“With two teenage daughters, finding clothing in Renfrew is a challenge,” said Cindy. “We wanted to bring stuff in for a younger audience.”

“It’s all handpicked,” added Faith.

They also have a selection of plus size clothing.

“It is limited, it’s normally very expensive to find and is needed here,” said Cindy. donations

Duplicate bridge an oasis in summer heat AFter 20 YeArS in buSineSS

Lewis MacDonald

StAr-Set JeWellerS

Ten and one-half tables competed at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre August 3 in a bridge session that saw patrons escape the sweltering heat for an afternoon in air-conditioned comfort. In the Chalk Talk preceding the afternoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play, Wayne Daze made his case for careful planning of the play of a bridge hand. He set out four tables and had groups of three decide how the contract could be made at each table. Counting the sure tricks is a first step. Then a player has to determine the number of tricks needed for the particular contract.

To cover the shortfall, there are several methods players can employ: promotion, ruffing, keeping in mind the entries needed for success, and finesses, which should be the last resort.

Three small slams were made during the course of play. Gillian and Mack Wilson were successful at six no-trump, as were Bev Zeigel and Shirley Taylor. Bev Kobus and Ian Scott scored a six hearts contract. Kudos to all three pairs. Congratulations to the August 3 winners:

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, August 11, 2016 49

Dog days of summer The Town of Renfrew’s Bark in the Park was a doggone success on Aug. 6. Dolce, above, won the award for the longest ears with her best friends Layana Ziyad and Ehtan Guindon. Above right, Jeff Lehoux’s dog Stray, which was already named when he rescued it, took the prize for oldest dog.

Stray is 17 years old. Far right, Barbara Wazney’s pooch Willie (named after Willie Nelson) had the shortest ears at the event.

Best trick went to Champ who jumps for a treat held by his master Neil MacAskill, at right.

Missing berry pie becomes a mystery for Mother Father, sitting in his chair with the Ottawa Farm Journal folded on his lap, was eyeing the two berry pies Mother had made and where they were now sitting on the bake table at the back door.

She was at the old pine kitchen table, and without taking her eyes off her diaries, she told Father his bedtime snack would not include a slice of the berry pies. “There’s a couple sticky buns in the cupboard you can have,” she said. It always amazed me how Mother could see and know everything anyone was doing or thinking without benefit of raising her eyes!

Just before we all headed for bed, Mother covered the pies with two freshly washed and ironed flour-bag tea towels. The wonderful sweet smell followed us upstairs.

Well, what a commotion greeted us first thing in the morning! We could hear Mother yelling at the top of her lungs, ordering Everett to fetch Father from the barn at once!

“He has taken a pie, and probably has eaten most of it by now, and will expect to have a full breakfast when he comes in.” She was sure hoppin’ mad.

Well, Father came in and was as surprised

LET IT ROT!

Mary Cook’s Memories

Well, Father came in and was as surprised as Mother, and swore up and down he hadn’t laid eyes on the pie since going to bed.

BY MARY COOK

as Mother, and swore up and down he hadn’t laid eyes on the pie since going to bed.

Mother pointed a finger at each of my three brothers, who all vowed they had never touched the berry pie. Father had the nerve to suggest maybe Mother had put it someplace, or maybe Earl, who sometimes walked in his sleep had taken it off the bake table.

“Well, it’s gone, and I’ll find out who took it, and there’ll be hang to pay, I can tell you,” she said.

The day passed and there was still no sign of the pie, and the remaining pie had to be sliced in small wedges to go around that night for supper, and no one had yet owned up to taking the missing one, plate and all.

the top of her lungs to get Father from the barn at once!

Then we saw what she was yelling about.

There on the bake table was the empty pie plate, spotlessly clean, shining like a new nickel, with a note written on the back of a cigarette box thanking the lady of the house for the best pie he had ever eaten! Shivers ran up and down my back when we finally realized a tramp had jumped the freight train that passed through our farm, climbed the West Hill, and came up to our house in the dead of night.

Father said the smell of the berry pie was more than he could ignore, and he made off with it, pie plate and all.

He had the good manners to wash the tin in the river, and return it to our kitchen, putting it exactly where he had found it the

night before.

Well, that had Mother ranting about unlocked doors! No one in Northcote locked their doors. Ours didn’t even have a key!

For a couple of nights Mother propped a chair under the doorknob, but Father convinced her the tramps meant no harm. He said he knew they often slept in the barn.

And they were hungry...always hungry.

Riding the rails was their life, and getting a meal or a snack wherever they could, kept them alive.

After that, Mother often left a paper bag of sandwiches on the back stoop in a pail with a lid on it. It didn’t take long for the tramps to know they could come over the West Hill, day or night, and there would always be something there to fill their aching stomachs.

Like so much else in those lean Depression years, the tramps were simply a symbol of the times.
