A projector, a sound system and a cube van.

That’s all it took to make Saturday night’s final show of the Tragically Hip’s Man Machine Poem REGION tour an unforgettable experience forREGION one Ottawa Valley family and their friends.

Sherrill Brydges has been listening to the Hip for more than 20 years. Together with .CA .COM Tony Barron and their children, they hosted an outdoor viewing of the iconic Canadian band’s final show on Saturday night, Aug. 20 at their Whitewater Region home. The concert, broadcast live on CBC from the Hip’s hometown of Kingston, was the wrap-up event to a tour the band launched following the announcement of lead singer Gord Downie’s terminal brain cancer.

Bars and living rooms, backyards and community centres across the country served as venues for the emotional and inspirational concert.

“We all just loved that night,” said Brydges, who said Tragically Hip songs bring to mind her older SHERRY HAAIMA/METROLAND siblings – her brother Shawne and Sherrill Brydges, Tony Barron and Violet Barron, 4, enjoy the Saturday night final concert of the Tragically her late sister Cyndi.

Celebrating 98 years

Tragically Hip played Ottawa Valley venues in the 1980s Continued from front

The Hip were legendary for playing small local venues and locals still talk about their apparent misbehaviour at an early 1980s gig at the Whippletree Shanty in Calabogie, where Cyndi worked. Rumour has it, annoyed at not being paid for the gig, they helped themselves to some liquor and relieved themselves in the cash register, recalls Brydges with a laugh.

The Hip, particularly in those early days, were well known and received in the Valley. They played a number of shows at Butson’s and other local venues.

Brydges was thrilled to be sharing the experience with her children, including four-year-old Violet.

“She rocked out ‘til 10:30,” she said.

The Tragically Hip was the first concert Brydges ever attended, when she was 17.

“Those are some of my best high school memories,” she said.

She’s not surprised at the overwhelming interest in Saturday’s concert, which drew 11.7 million viewers.

“I think it’s just because it has so much meaning that only Canadians Sherry Haaima/Metroland can get,” she said. “Almost every song has something that’s really Ca- Sherrill Brydges and Tony Barron welcomed family and friends to an outdoor showing of Saturday night’s final concert of the Tragically Hip’s Man Machine Poem tour.

Renfrew’s Cricket Guest wins Top Model of the World Canada Miss Teen Ontario East Committee

Cricket Guest was awarded the title of Top Model Ontario East at the 2016 Miss Teen Ontario East Pageant in April and was given a full scholarship to attend the Top Model Search Canada week this past week in Toronto and she brought home the title of Top Model of the World Canada!

Renfrew’s Guest, along with 2014 first runner up Jill Barr and 2016 Miss Teenage Eastern Ontario Kathleen Barr, both from Douglas, spent the week at various modelling workshops, photo shoots, runway events, modelled in a fashion show and had the opportunity to attend go sees with a selection of modelling agents from Canada, the U.S. and international. It is a unique opportunity to have exposure to these agents and to be recognized in the modelling community. At the Top Model Canada awards banquet held on Saturday evening, Jill Barr was in the top five finalists for best catalogue photo, Kathleen Barr was a top five finalist for her commercial shoot (an amazing accomplishment for the 16 year old) and Guest was awarded most photogenic female and best editorial photo.

On Sunday night, the organiza-

tion hosted their annual pageant to crown three titleholders who will represent Canada internationally; Miss Supernatural Canada, Miss Intercontinental Canada – the title won by Delaney Holley in 2014 and Top Model of the World Canada.

Both Jill and Guest participated in the pageant and represented the Teen Ontario East pageant with poise and grace. It was exciting when both girls were named in the top 15 finalists but when Guest was called out as Top Model of the World Canada, it was incredible.

Guest will represent Canada at the top model of the world pageant. The date and location of the pageant is pending but this year’s Top Model of the World pageant was held in Germany. What an incredible opportunity for Guest. We will be following her budding career in the modelling industry and will keep everyone updated once the top model of the world pageant date and location.

The Ottawa Valley was well represented at Top Model Search Canada. Renfrew’s Cricket Guest, right, took home the crown for Top Model of the World Canada and Jill Barr, far right, from Douglas was one of the top 15 finalists.

There was great energy and discussion at a town hall consultation meeting on climate change for residents of Renfrew-NipissingPembroke in Eganville Aug. 16.

The event, hosted by three communitybased organizations, raised awareness of climate change issues and provided an opportunity for residents to get involved in proposing actions that can be taken by governments, businesses and individuals. The three hosts were Pipeline Awareness Renfrew County, Bonnechere River Watershed Project and Ottawa River Institute.

Many ideas were brought forward as the 46 participants (including about a half dozen local elected municipal officials) engaged in round table discussions on the following topics: • 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?

• Putting a Price on Carbon.

Some of the proposed solutions included: • addressing the unique needs of rural Canadians; • providing incentives for clean technologies and removing subsidies for dirty technologies; • promoting local solutions (e.g., local food and energy production) with local control;

We need to react to climate change with the same urgency as we did to WWII. Duncan Noble

• promoting the use of wood for energy and materials; • retaining/enhancing natural cover as carbon sinks.

Local climate activist Duncan Noble said that “we need to react to climate change with the same urgency as we did to WWII” and that the organizers were “very pleased with the turn-out and the energy and enthusiasm of participants for climate change solutions.”

According to Noble, it will take “many more conversations like the ones we had tonight to build and maintain the political will necessary to respond to climate change effectively.”

Bonnechere Valley Coun. Meredith Jamieson chaired the meeting and remarked that she was “inspired to see so many people engaged in making a difference.”

All of the proposed ideas are being compiled by the host organizations into a detailed report that will be submitted to the federal government as a contribution from Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke to inform Canada’s strategy on climate change.

It will also be publically available on-line at http://letstalkclimateaction.ca/ideas. Residents can also submit ideas on how to address climate change by visiting this interactive website.

The hosts issued a thank you to all of those who helped organize and participated in the event for the riding. “Together, we can make a real difference,” they said.

The Demo Pumptrack Tour comes to Renfrew Aug. 28 Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

Let’s get ready to roll Renfrew!

The Demo Pumptrack Tour hosted by the Canadian Ramp Company will be setting up its all wheel pumptrack at Ma-Te-Way Park on Aug. 28 from 3 to 6 p.m.

Jo-anne Caldwell says the Town of Renfrew applied to be a tour stop and made it on the summer cross-Canada tour list.

“This is an excellent opportunity to try out a pumptrack,” said Caldwell. “It really is a rare event to have a pumptrack come to town.”

Ryan Hicks, sales manager with Canadian Ramp Company, hopes the municipality will see the need for a track in the community.

“It’s an awesome tour, we wanted to do it to showcase the pumptrack and to get the word out and let communities know this is another option for the youth in their community.”

The track, which will be set up in the parking lot, will be beside the town’s allwheel park.

“It (the all wheel park) is now fully functional with a new slab and ramps that are moved back on it,” said Caldwell.

The pumptrack is for bikes, scooters, skateboards and even push bikes for young kids.

The town will have all of these items and helmets that people can borrow for free to try it out.

“I think it is going to appeal to a wide age

“Even if you are not riding on the track you can come and watch others.”

The track itself is 55 feet long and 21 feet wide.

“The idea is to ride around on the track without pedalling, you use your body motion to pick up speed over the bumps and turns,” explained Hicks.

There will also be a free barbecue and the

“We want seniors in Ontario to fully participate in their communities. The Seniors Community Grant program encourages this by supporting hundreds of projects focussed on volunteerism, learning, social inclusion and physical activity,” said Dipika Damerla, Minister Responsible for Seniors Affairs.

The Seniors Community Grant program, now in its third year, is the province’s first grant program dedicated solely to supporting seniors.

The library is grateful for this Government of Ontario funding and thrilled to have been chosen.

We are looking forward to interacting with the seniors in our community.

town’s mobile sports/toy trailer and bouncy castle set up by the playground. There is no rain date set for the event.

“One key point is it is only going ahead if the weather is good,” said Caldwell.

Pumptracks started in Europe and three years ago Canadian Ramp Company brought them over to Canada. The base cost for a track is $30,000.

“You can go as big as you want,” said

Hicks.

Currently there are some pumptracks in the Toronto area.

The next stop on the tour is in New Brunswick.

Courage, my word

Televisions, computers and countless improvised screens across the country were tuned into the final show of the Tragically Hip’s Man Machine Poem Tour on Saturday night.

With dignity and grace, lead singer Gord Downie, diagnosed with terminal brain cancer earlier this year, bid farewell to the people of Canada as the concert was broadcast live across the country on CBC. It was an evening that brought the nation, already joined in cheering for our Olympians, even closer together.

CBC is reporting that the broadcast and live stream of The Tragically Hip: A National Celebration concert, reached 11.7 million people.

The commercial-free special presentation was offered live on radio and TV and was streamed live online via the CBC’s website, apps, YouTube channel and Facebook page.

It was a historic night and an emotional and inspiring performance.

Even those who aren’t all that familiar with the Hip could appreciate the significance of the event.

The Canadiana of the Tragically Hip certainly cements them into the heart of Canadians but so does the manner in which the band members carry themselves.

Typically Canadian, they are not all that flashy, love a good time and moreover, care about those around them.

They’ve paid their dues by playing in small venues all over the country, including Renfrew, Calabogie and Arnprior. They’ve stayed true to their Canadian roots, showing no interest in fleeing to the bright lights and big money south of the border.

At his final show, there were no recriminations or lamenting his own fate. Instead, Downie took advantage of his huge audience, which included Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, to urge that something be done to improve the situation for Canada’s indigenous peoples, a people “we’ve been trained our entire lives to ignore.”

It was quite the contrast to the typical hedonistic, me-first rock stars with which we are so familiar.

During his final concerts, Downie made sure it wasn’t just about him. In his understated way, he urged his fans to “Look after each other” and “Have a nice life,” ironic since his own diagnosis doesn’t give him much time to enjoy his forced retirement.

With the launch of the Man Machine Poem tour, the Gord Downie Fund for Brain Cancer Research was created. Total funds raised by Monday morning were $265,000 and growing.

Downie’s plight reminds us of the devastating effects of cancer, regardless of fame and fortune.

Thank you Gord Downie and the Tragically Hip, you have truly shown us the meaning of the word ‘Courage.’

One day, two good Samaritans To the editor: A few evenings ago I was halfway between my home and the mailbox when the heavens opened. As I plodded on a car drew up, the driver jumped out and offered to drive me home. I didn’t know him but he assured me that he knew me so I accepted.

But wait - a young lad, maybe nine or 19 - appeared out of nowhere and offered to run to the mailbox and

post my letters for me.

Two good Samaritans in one day.

Only when I was high and dry at home did I realize I had just done something I had always advised my daughters never to do.

August is a good month for meeting wolves

When I was on the coast of James Bay surveying shorebirds, many other things caught my eye. At times thousands of dragonflies coursed low over the pools of water that punctuated the high tide mark, snapping up large horse flies also present in large numbers.

Some, like the large Lake Darners, also occur in our area; others such as Zig-zag Darners do not stray much farther south than the Bay. Because James Bay connects to Hudson Bay, an extension of the Arctic Ocean, it contains salt water.

Now, it is not as salty as the Atlantic Ocean because countless creeks and several large rivers constantly pump fresh water into it, diluting its salt content. But the salt level is sufficient to allow Jellyfish to dot the mudflats at low tide, and Beluga Whales to inhabit its waters.

Just above the limits of high tide grow salttolerant plants such as Seaside Lungwort and Marsh Ragwort.

Goose grass, another salt-tolerant plant, covers vast areas of the coast and as its name suggests, is food for geese. Thousands of Canada Geese visit James Bay, and can be seen dotting the mudflats where they rest and dine on the plants. Just before I left flocks of Snow Geese were arriving to join them.

The geese attract the attention of more than shorebird watchers. Wolves visit the coast to dine on unsuspecting geese.

Twice I watched a distant wolf stalk them, with one being rewarded for its efforts.

But the wolves along James Bay are not the same wolves found near our region. They are Gray Wolves (also known as Timber Wolves) the animals glorified in Farley Mowat’s fictitious Never Cry Wolf.

Locally we have Eastern Coyotes and Eastern Wolves, the latter being most commonly encountered in Algonquin Park and the Madawaska Highlands. Eastern Wolves have been recognized as a distinct type of wolf

by COSEWIC, the federal committee that assigns status to native plants and animals.

The provincial body dealing with species at

risk COSSARO has muddied the waters by naming the wolf ‘the Algonquin Wolf,’ declaring it to be not a valid species but a hybrid animal. While there unquestionably has been hybridization in the history of this wolf, detailed genetic analysis done over many years shows it to be a distinct species, one that once ranged over eastern North America.

We are fortunate to have the remnant population of this wonderful animal residing so close to our area.

This coming weekend, I am taking groups out to hear the wild howls of Eastern Wolves.

This Friday I will be at Achray on Grand MICHAEL RUNTZ Lake in eastern Algonquin and Saturday Algonquin Park is home to Eastern Wolves; this pup and its mother were encountered at Bonnechere Provincial Park. Following near Algonquin’s McManus Lake. a presentation on Eastern Wolves (7:30 p.m. at Achray and 7 p.m. at Bonnechere), we head out into the night where I attempt to get wolves to answer Inspection of Approved Aerial Herbicide Spraying back to my howls. Last year wolves responded Ottawa Valley Forest wonderfully on both outings.

“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 boywas 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.

Come one, come all for a special fundraiser organized and run by two local boys on Aug. 27 in support of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO).

Finn, seven years old and Aidan Muldoon, 11 years old, are well into the planning stages for their big fundraiser.

The boys have gone to a number of local businesses to collect gift certificates and prizes for the big event. On Aug. 27 the two will be set up at their house at 335 Lisgar Ave. with all of the prizes on display for the fundraiser from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The boys started the fundraiser two years ago after a trip to Dairy Queen for its annual Miracle Treat Day. Mom Tricia Muldoon explained it was a big treat for each member of the family to get their own blizzard for the fundraiser day and explained to her children why they were supporting the hospital.

“We wanted to help the kids at CHEO,” said Aidan on starting their own fundraiser.

The first year they sold Rainbow Loom bracelets and cookies and raised $260, last year the fundraiser raised almost $700. “All of the donations go to CHEO to help the kids, it’s just a good cause,” said Aidan.

A few months after the first fundraiser, Finn had to be rushed by ambulance to CHEO to receive treatment for epilepsy.

“It’s big and the doctors are nice,” said Finn.

CHEO now helps them manage his epilepsy. “He’s on medication and stable now,” said Tricia. “So that’s an amazing and a massive blessing.”

Muldoon is very excited about her boy’s accomplishments.

“I’m really proud of them and that they started this all on their own,” she said. “They do all the work and pound the pavement.”

The boys have gone to 25 businesses so far, each taking turns asking for donations. “Hardly anyone says no, it’s amazing. Each year, it seems people give more,” said Tricia. “I can’t get over how generous the local business community is.”

Some of the many prizes so far include: $50 Metro gift card, two $25 gift cards for Sandy’s Deli, two $25 gift cards for Odi’s, Rocky Mountain gift certificate for dinner and a movie for two adults and two children and $50 for Priority Wines.

In a support letter on the fundraiser Mandy Arsenault, CHEO co-ordinator, special events and community engagement, praised the family. “Partners likes this play an important role in making sure the hospital has the necessary tools to help each and every child today, and conduct important research that will lead to more positive outcomes down the road,” said Arsenault. “We are very grateful for the (Muldoon family) and that they chose the CHEO Foundation as a beneficiary.”

Linwood Custom Homes opens doors in Village of Calabogie On Aug. 19, more than 80 dignitaries and guests celebrated the grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremonies of the Linwood Design Center and Calabogie Construction Services office in Calabogie.

Fleming, the president of Calabogie Construction Services has been on a journey of finding synergies amongst the various departments of his company.

He has recently embarked on formalizing a unified vision that he

He is excited about the future of the area and the community economic potential it offers its residents. He sums up ‘the Calabogie experience’ with this powerful slogan: “Defined by nature, designing the extraordinary.”

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant presented Fleming with a certificate of congratulations at the grand opening and commented in a release: “Congratulations to Chris Fleming on the grand ppening of yet another enterprise, Linwood Custom Home Sales and Design Center.

This venture is just the most recent in a series of unique businesses, which have provided much appreciated employment, brought new families to the area, all the while showcasing the benefits our local forest, and the many ways wood products bring us back to nature.

Chris is to be commended for his ongoing active role in our community’s economic development.”

Calabogie has been referred to in the media as ‘Ottawa’s Muskokas.’

During the past decade Calabogie has experienced a small building boom as empty nesters and families have sought out the four seasons lifestyle for their permanent residence. With the investment of the Linwood Custom Homes Design Center, Chris Fleming and his team of professionals are ready to help people build the home of their dreams.

Local girls win at Northern Ontario singing contest Two Ottawa Valley girls, including one from Arnprior, have come home winners from a major singing competition in the North Bay area.

Khloe Bertrand of Haley Station and Ainsley Phillips of Arnprior competed in the 28th annual Northern Ontario Open Country Singing Contest. The weekendlong event, hosted by the Nipissing Country Music Association, was held at the Billy Barber Complex in Callander over the Civic Holiday weekend.

Competitors vied for a piece of the $10,000 in prize money. Each singer had to perform two selections, one ballad and one up-tempo song.

Khloe competed in the 12-andunder Karaoke division. She wowed the crowds with her renditions of Rascal Flatt’s ‘I Won’t Let Go’ and Carrie Underwood’s ‘Church Bells’.

Khloe was up against eight competitors in the preliminary rounds, and moved easily into the final round to take top prize amongst the five finalists. Her final performance was a brilliant display of crystal clear vocal abilities and stage performance.

She has a few teachers in the Up-

per Ottawa Valley with whom she works to perfect her craft.

It was a great weekend of talent across all categories. The outdoor arena was filled with young and older country music lovers.

Ainsley, only 12, entered the 18-and-under division. Backed by a live band that she only met and rehearsed with once, she performed, to the crowd’s delight, ‘Blue’ by LeAnn Rhimes with ease. Her uptempo song was the toe-tapping ‘It Happens’ by Sugarland.

She quickly became a favourite in her division, drawing many cheers and applause mid-song.

Moving into the final round against four other strong competitors, Ainsley brought strong vocals and her best performance yet to secure first place, remarkable for a 12-year-old.

She is a student of the Main Street School of Music in Arnprior, and credits its support for her continued success.

Ainsley and Khloe are friends used to competing against one another in Ottawa Valley talent competitions, as well as in ringette, over the past few years.

scottcampbell@metroland.com

The charity yard sale and barbecue at Country View Mini-Mart in McNab-Braeside drew a decent number of people despite the rain on Aug. 12-13.

The yard sale was organized to help raise funds for the Empties for Paws effort and Renfrew’s Bailey Plunkett, who is off to do missionary work in the Himalayas on Sept. 8.

She will spend three months in Hawaii for training before doing another three months in Nepal, a dream of hers.

Funds are also accepted at gofundme.com/2h4fb65.

The sale was also an opportunity for Bonnie Ellis to show off the new Empties for Paws drop box at the store, where beer and wine bottles and cans will be recycled in support of Valley Animal Rescue Laurie Nadon said the rescue group is run solely with volunteers and $4,000 is needed for a husky mix named Wilma to have surgery for an ACL tear in her leg. If the operation isn’t done, the dog, a rescue, could SCOTT CAMPBELL/METROLAND lose its leg.

Precious Pets of Renfrew donated a table of clothes At the giant yard sale, from left, are Jody Plunkett, Bailey Plunkett and Bonnie Ellis. People can drop off their empties in supfor the sale in support of Wilma. port of Valley Animal Rescue at the new drop-box at Country View Mini-Mart on Calabogie Road just off Highway 17.

Arnprior’s White Pine organizers are not letting a little thing like downtown revitalization construction work slow them down.

With traffic in the downtown and access to Robert Simpson Park restricted, most of Arnprior’s major summer festival has been moved to the east side of town to the ABBA Ball Diamonds Park off McNab Street. The festival runs Friday through Sunday this weekend (Aug. 26-28).

The extra space at ABBA park allows a number of new attractions this year to complement the popular offerings back for another year.

“We have a power-packed weekend planned,” said organizer Mike Marcil, noting this year’s festival features car, boat and motorcycle shows. “We’ve been revitalized.”

Among the festival’s community partners are the Macnamara Field Naturalists, hosting nature tours on the nearby wildlife trails; the Arnprior Legion, hosting a monster bingo Sunday at 1 p.m.; the model train enthusiasts hosting a show from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days at the Arnprior Curling Club; and the O’Brien Theatre with vintage movies at 2 and 4 p.m. Saturday.

The festival does have one event at Robert Simpson Park, as it begins Friday with Renfrew’s Young Country playing on the gazebo from 7 to 9 p.m. prior to the outdoor movie showing of Zootopia at dusk.

Saturday will be Rock n’ Roll Revival day at the festival with residents encourage to dress up in 1950s and ‘60s garb (prizes will be given for the best dressed). Down at the ABBA park, there will be a jump and jive dance instruction at noon, a Heartbeats concert at 3 p.m. and a twist and jive contest at 5 p.m.

In between there will be plenty to see and do with the Arnprior Car Show and a motorcycle show and shine at the ball diamonds and a vintage boat display at Bell Park.

As well, there will be rock-climbing, a zip line and bouncy castle for the adventurous.

The fun continues Sunday with many of Saturday’s displays being bolstered by heavy trucks, tractors, snowmobile and ATVs. The free model train show runs both Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Arnprior Curling Club. “We have a fantastic show to give the people of Arnprior and the Valley,” he said.

Moreau has attracted 15 model train exhibitors, up from nine, and doubled the number of vendors from two to four.

Marie Buscomb, left, and Peggy Williams, present a $1,100 Scotiabank donation to Greater Madawaska Coun. Brian Hunt, accepting on behalf of the Greater Madawaska Raise the Roof committee.

Renfrew Scotiabank boosts Calabogie rink fund At a recent Greater Madawaska council meeting, Coun. Brian Hunt accepted a donation from Renfrew Scotiabank in the amount of $1,100 on behalf of the Greater Madawaska Raise the Roof Committee.

Presenting the donation was Peggy Williams, a retired Scotiabank employee and Marie Buscomb, a Greater Madawaska volunteer. The donation from Scotiabank has been made for the last seven years to match proceeds generated by the Calabogie Christmas Concert (which are also donated to the Calabogie Rink).

Buscomb and Williams co-ordinate the concert each year with the help and dedication of numerous township volunteers.

Williams then works to secure a donation from Scotiabank . To date, the Raise the Roof committee has raised approximately $220,000 for the Calabogie rink project. Generous support from local businesses such as Renfrew Scotiabank combined with the ongoing efforts of the Raise the Roof committee and passionate volunteers like Buscomb and Williams have made the Calabogie rink project a continued success.

Arnprior to play host to major Highland dance contest Sunday The Caitlin Stewart Memorial Highland Dancing Competition is expected to draw more than 100 dancers to Arnprior this Sunday, Aug. 28.

The Arnprior Highland Dancing Association presents the seventh annual competition at Robert Simpson Park. Dancers are expected to participate from as far as Toronto, Quebec and the Ottawa and Valley areas.

A stage will be set up next to the bandstand at the scenic park for the competition.

“It’s the best location in the Ottawa Valley,” says organizer Renee Stewart.

“It certainly has the best Ottawa River view.

In memory

The competition is held each year in memory of Stewart’s daughter, Caitlin, who passed away after a car accident on Nov. 2, 1998.

The competition starts at 8:30 a.m. and runs until about 3 or 4 p.m.

“Everyone is invited to come down to the park for a wonderful day of dancing and listening to bagpipes,” said Stewart, noting an enthusiastic crowd brings out the best performances from the dancers.

Bring a lawn chair and sun screen, advises Stewart. Admission is free but a donation to Caitlin’s scholarship would be appreciated.

There will be an onsite canteen, complete with hamburgers from M and M Meats.

Stewart encourages members of the public

to drop in and check out the dancing and the music.

The dancers are colourfully dressed in the kilts and national costumes, she explains.

The dancers will be accompanied by accomplished bag pipers.

Each dancer will be doing four dances and at the end of the day the premier dancers will be performing their own version of the Cake Walk.

“This is so exciting to watch pairs of dancers (who) will have their own interpretation of the dance,” said Stewart. “The lassies have lots of fun and the crowd likes to start clapping with the dancers.”

The competition could not be held without community sponsorship.

Ontario Power Generation is a long time supporter.

Stewart expresses her heartfelt thanks for all the community supporters.

“We also have a wonderful group of volunteers,” she says. “These volunteers ensure the competition continues to run successfully every year.

“Many parents and former Highland dancers keep coming back to keep this wonderful competition running in Caitlin’s name.

Thanks for keeping my daughter alive in my heart.

“Big hug to Jan and Molly, my co-organizers for their hours of hard work - you two the best.

this year’s tournament.

The Bridge Club is grateful to the area sponsors for making these presentations possible.

The tournament has gained a reputation as one of the best tournaments in the province.

This is due in part to the generosity of Renfrew and Area merchants who have donated prizes to the event each year.

During this seven-year period, more than $25,000 has been turned over to charity.

Healing with spirit Algonquins of Pikwakanagan First Nations hosted the 29th Traditional Pow Wow featuring drumming, dancing, crafts and traditional food Aug. 20 and 21 in Golden Lake. Gerry Benoit and son Daniel participate in the annual Pikwakanagan Pow Wow at Golden Lake on the weekend.

The theme of this year’s gathering was Healing With Spirit. Large crowds both Saturday and Sunday enjoyed colourful ceremonial dances, song, drumming and more. Shirley Commanda, seated, is greeted by Laurie Bennett as Omer Belisle looks on. Last year Shirley Commanda and her sister Rita Cooke danced in the circle for the last time but they continue to support and enjoy the annual Pikwakanagan Pow Wow.

Ottawa Valley’s favourite Olympian was so close to a medal.

The eventual bronze medalist beat Eganville’s Melissa Bishop by only 13-100ths of a second in the 800m final at the Rio Olympics.

Bishop finished the race in fourth place with a time of 1:57:02, lowering her own Canadian record for the event.

In the semi-final on Thursday night she came in second place with a time of 1:59:05.

And she won her qualifying heat on Wednesday, Aug. 17 with a time of 1:58:38, which was the fastest time of all the qualifying heats.

Hundreds of community members came to Eganville and District Public School to cheer her on.

It was also announced there will be a homecoming parade for Bishop on Sept. 10 at 1:30 p.m. with floats, a pipe band and local sports teams.

According to Mayor of Bonnechere Valley Township Jennifer

Murphy they set up 350 chairs for the viewing party at the school.

The gym was full with some people standing at the back.

Murphy was very proud of the local star and the community turnout. “It’s fantastic and this is a work day too!”

After the race, Murphy had tears of joy as she revealed she did not get a lot of sleep last night in anticipation of the race. “I was so excited and nervous about the live stream,” she said.

Everyone in the gym loudly cheered her on as she made her move to come in first.

“She looked so good out there.

She is a winner. To watch that heat and to see her come in first is just incredible,” said Murphy.

Congratulations also poured in online, including from RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski who took to Twitter show his support.

“Way to go Melissa! @BishopMelissa finishes 1st in her qualifying heat in the 800m. On to the semi-finals. We’re all behind you!”

he said in a tweet after the race.

There was a wide array of people at the viewing party, from those who had never met the 28-year-old Olympian to those who remember when she was a baby.

Jocelyn Smith, who recently moved to Eganville, had her face painted with Bishop’s team logo.

She brought her kids to the event.

“We just moved here but we have caught the fever. It’s incredible. Obviously she has put in a lot of hard work and dedication,” said Smith.

“She is a role model and our kids can’t stop talking about her.”

Laura Griffith used to babysit Bishop and teared up when she spoke of her.

“I’m just so excited. I can’t believe this little six month old came into my house and now here she is,” said Griffith.

Anna Myers’ daughter was dancing in the gym shouting ‘Go Melissa’ before the race started.

“Lily met her at school and she really likes her,” said Myers. “She’s a really good runner and a really good team sport.”

Renfrew Timberwolves open exhibition season with big win Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

Any coach wants to see their team win.

But it was extra special for the Renfrew Timberwolves new coach on Aug. 22 as it was the first win for the new bench boss.

The team travelled to face the Athens Aeros and easily defeated them 7-2 in exhibition action in the Central Canada Hockey League Tier 2 on Sunday afternoon (Aug. 21).

Mike Riopelle said the win felt good. “Before the game started I thought the other team looked better,� said Riopelle. “But then we got out there and out worked them and got a couple of bounces.�

Although he wouldn’t name names, he was pleased with the older players stepping up. “The veterans took on a quiet leadership role and that was nice to see. They all blended together well,� said Riopelle.

The team came out of the gate strong with two goals in the opening frame by Isaac Perreault and Curtis Foster on the power play. In the second period, the two teams drew to a tie with one goal apiece. Alex Paquette scored for Renfrew.

The final 30 minutes saw the Timberwolves explode with four goals by Jonathan Rosien, Spencer Hill, Jake McGrimmon and Andrew McIntyre.

Athens was only able to put one puck behind Jeremy Bibeau, in the third period. He made 27 saves overall in net.

Trade

Earlier in the week the Timberwolves made a trade that has already helped them on the score sheet. They traded leftwinger Zack Elliott, from Kanata, to the Arnprior Packers in exchange for Arnprior native Foster. “He’s a 19-year-old defenceman. He has a bit of experience and can shoot the puck well,� said Riopelle. camp

Training camp opened for the team last week and Riopelle says they had about 25 skaters vying for a spot on the team. “I would have liked to have 50 out there but that’s the way it is now, apparently that is normal,� said Riopelle. “It’s hard to tell in the tryouts what the team will be like but after (yesterday’s) win, we have a good combo of young and old with some skill.� exhibition games

The Timberwolves have three exhibition games coming up this weekend before the Showcase at the SensPlex in Kanata on Labour Day weekend.

Riopelle encourages local fans to come and check out the team. Tickets are only $5 per person. “I think if the first game is any indication, it’s an exciting

game when they work this hard, it’s exciting,� said Riopelle.

On Thursday, Aug. 26 the Timberwolves host the Richmond Royals at Ma-Te-Way at 8 p.m., on Aug. 28 they face the Brockville Tikis at 3 p.m. at home and on Sept. 2 they play at the Sensplex at 5 p.m. against the Char-Lan Rebels.

More excellence from Dragonfly this week in the form of a hole in one from loyal Dragonfly supporter Ian Fabian.

Ian’s great shot was on hole 18 with a seven iron.

Men’s league started the week off with a ‘splash,’ as for the first time all year we had a complete rainout.

Out of the 12 teams that normally play Tuesdays, eight teams played their rainout golf on Thursday.

The best score of the night, (and from the week) was from Valley Automation and Controls with a 60.

Coming in second place was Legere Industrial with a 66. Closest to the pin winners were Randy McLaughlin on #13, and John Windle on # 18.

Great weather returned on Wednesday and Cobus Homes were the champs in A flight, and the Mountain Men were the winners of B flight.

Closest to the pin winners was Dave Brydges on #13, and Cecil Aubry on #18 Ladies night supporters Janet O’Brien and Shawn Mosiondz and kickstarted a great initiative in support of the Renfrew and District Food Bank.

For the next week, non-perishable food items and cash are gladly accepted in the Dragonfly pro shop.

In ladies league play the Partee Girls celebrated a victory in A flight and the Tee Time Girls played like clockwork to take B flight.

Kayla Fraser was the winner of the closest to the pin.

Lastly, I would like to thank Colleen Wall from Haley Industries and Wayne Bennett from Scapa Tape for allowing Dragonfly to host their annual golf day on Saturday, Aug. 20 for their respective

Dragonfly is saying goodbye to a great friend. Cook Pam St. Michael has been the cook for the past two years and is moving on to pursue other goals.

Short in stature but huge in heart, Pam

is loved by “her girls” (the serving staff) and the rest of the Dragonfly staff. She will also be missed by the thousands of patrons who have enjoyed her cooking over the past two years.

The Dragonfly family wishes her the absolute best with her future endeavors.

As president of our women’s golf league, I am proud to be part of this committee that showcased our annual golf invitational.

This year our theme was ‘We’re going to Rio’ and was headed up by Annette Charbonneau, Carole Mundy and Shirley Corneau with assistance from Mary Cassidy, Angele Pollock, Sue Beaton, Della Charbonneau and myself, Val Trotter.

Ninety-three golfers stood on the podium displaying their medals in front of our photographer, Rick Brown.

These amazing women continued to play golf in spite of the rain and returned to the club house late afternoon drenched to the bone.

Top scores once again had Maureen Dunnigan and Judy Collins tied for low gross of 86.

Gerri Nyveld received a low net of 65.

It seemed the rain did not dampen overall scores as there were countless other winners in all three divisions. Christ the Redeemer, aka Marvin, graced over our 15 and 16 fairways, standing proud on the hill while watching over the women as they played for gold, silver and bronze.

Many thanks to our sponsors and

those who donated their time, money and products to our charity event whose net profits exceeded $7,000 in support of the Bernadette McCann House.

We couldn’t have done it without the generosity of these businesses and individuals. Special thanks to Christine Carter Jarrett, PGA of Canada golf professional, who together with Chris Fleming, general manager, Calabogie Highlands Golf Resort, emceed the evening’s events.

Photos of the day’s events have all been updated on our facebook page at www. facebook.com/Calabogie Women’s Invitational Golf Tournament. More details to follow at a later date.

online registration Andy Sklepowicz Behind the Glass

Yes, it is unusually early for you to be seeing this column in the Renfrew Mercury but I am trying to kill two birds with one stone. I can already see the look of disdain from my Vet daughter-in-law for using the above expression. It’s very much like the one I received when I exclaimed with much gusto “there’s more than one way to skin a cat!” after a particularly devious move in our usual family board game. Oh well, I was never politically correct so it’s a little late to start pretending now. The two birds I speak of ? A brine pipe project update and club news from a busy summer.

The Renfrew Curling Club was and is a busy and happening place this summer. Beside the installation of the brine pipes the directors and volunteers have finished a number of large projects. Barb Westgarth and her two sidekicks Brian Thiessen and Cedric Wright have revamped the club’s website, registration and communication network by installing and customizing the Curling Club Manager, a web based programme that allows for digital registration and payment. It will also serve to manage all leagues and their sched-

ules, provide a communication portal and manage volunteer lists. There will be a secure area for members and an open area for the public. Both areas, for example would provide for registration for community spiels and digital payment to assure entry on a first paid first served basis. This will alleviate the problem of popular spiels filling up before some people even know about them. Members will still be able to register and pay by traditional methods, both for the year and for spiels.

Now, it will take a while to iron out all the bugs so be patient, but eventually it should greatly improve all aspects of club life.

Other projects include: redoing the dining room floor, and various others led by David Anderson; painting refinished areas led by Russ and Nancy Connors; and new lighting in many areas of the club. The brine pipe installation is now complete; testing for leaks, replacement of the brine and then the replacement of the sand and installation of the catwalks are now in progress. The last two will once again require hours of volunteer labour but the finish line is finally in sight.

If you haven’t been into the club over the summer you won’t recognise the place when you do come.

OPP reminds public to be safe with buses and students on the road

Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

The wheels on the bus go round and round!

Yes, it is almost time for school buses to hit the road and everyone should be prepared for the extra traffic.

Community Safety Const. Beth Ethier with the Ontario Provincial Police Upper Ottawa Valley detachment says motorists should be aware of the expected increase in pedestrians, cyclists and school buses, and give themselves extra commuting time.

“We want to remind the public to be on the lookout for students and school buses as of Sept. 6,” said Ethier. “They will be back on the road so people should adjust their schedules because the buses will be stopping and starting so they should give themselves time.”

Motorists encountering a stopped school bus that has its overhead red signal-lights flashing must stop before reaching the bus and shall not proceed until the bus moves or the overhead red signal-lights have stopped flashing.

“I want to remind them to stop when the overhead red signal lights are flashing,” said Ethier.

Under Section 175(11) of the Highway Traffic Act, the minimum fine for failing to stop is $400. This applies whether you are meeting or following a school bus, and includes multi-lane roads. (The only exception is to traffic when driving on a road with a median traffic coming from the opposite direction is not required to stop.)

It is also important to be aware of the extra pedestrian traffic as students make their way to school “Children may be excited for back to school so drivers should be extra cautious, especially in school zones,” said Ethier. “Pay attention and be prepared to stop to make sure everyone gets safely to school.”

Parents of students who will be walking or cycling to school are encouraged to speak with their children about the rules of the road that apply to them.

Drivers can expect to see an increased police presence. “Officers will be on patrol in early September,” said Ethier.

Tools for School seeks donations

Hebron Christian Reform Community Church, donates $1,292 for the Tools For School program.

Presenting the cheque is Deacon Nikki Deboer presents to Lyn Smith, executive director of Child Poverty Action Network on Aug. 18.

Back-to-school season is well underway and for some it is the happiest time of the year.

But for other families facing financial hardships it can be stressful wondering how they will send their children to school with everything they need.

The Child Poverty Action Network (CPAN) has been running Tools for School in Renfrew County since 2000. The objective of the program is to ensure all children in the county have the opportunity to participate fully in school, regardless of their family’s financial status.

Back to School & Fall RegiStRation

Goal to ensure students receive backpacks, supplies and shoes for back-to-school From page 44

“The goal is to make sure they all have a backpack, basic school supplies and a pair of shoes,” said Lyn Smith, executive director of CPAN. “Research has proven that children who have the tools to learn are more likely to graduate.”

The program relies on donations and she encourages businesses or individuals to sponsor a child because they do not receive any government funding.

“It costs $75 to sponsor a child,” said Smith. statistics

As of Aug. 18 they had 399 children already signed up in Renfrew County and Smith suspects they will have more than 1,000 children in need.

The statistics for this area are staggering for how many children between the ages of 0 to 17 years of age who are living in low-income houses.

Joy of reading

Sharing with your children the joy of reading is to offer them the most beautiful gift in the world: an open door to wonder and imagination, which they will be able to enjoy for the rest of their lives. There is no need to wait: research shows that children experience more academic success when the pleasures of words and reading are kindled before they start school.

It is important, of course, to adapt the reading material to the age of the child.

From zero to 2 years, babies will literally devour their books! Baby books must be very durable and, ideally, washable. As soon as babies can focus on an image, sharing a book together with a parent is a great way to spend time together.

From three to five years, children start to be interested in stories with a narrative. Toddlers are likely to ask you to read them the same book night after night. Comply without grumbling, because a passion is being born!

Preschoolers, on the other hand, usually appreciate a variety of stories and illustrations. When they are schoolage, continue to read to your children, even if they already know how to read alone. Then, gradually, take it in turns to read in order to encourage their progress. In addition to readers sent home from school, visit your local library as well so that you children can have access to a wider variety of books.

In Renfrew County there are 19,420 youth in private households and 13.3 per cent of those under 17 are living in a low-income situation.

“Arnprior has the highest child poverty rate in Renfrew County at 28.7 per cent. If you go one step further to the 0-5 age range it is even higher with 36 per cent living in poverty,” said Smith.

She noted that Renfrew is the second highest in all of the county with 24.3 per cent of children 0-17 years of age living in low-income homes and 22 per cent under five.

In Admaston-Bromley the numbers change again with only 4.7 per cent living in low-income households. donations

On Aug. 18, Smith received two donations for the program.

The first was from Hebron Christian Reform Community Church, which do-

nated $1,292 to the program.

The church raised the money at a dinner and they split the funds raised between the efforts to support a local refugee family and the Tools for School program.

The second donation was from Arnprior’s St. John Chrysostom Catholic Women’s League for $1,040, who raised the money at its annual ‘Change for Change’ collection during the annual Our Lady of Good Counsel service, when the congregation was asked to put any loose change into the plate.

“Some of the CWL women members are retired teachers and they promoted the cause and everyone supported it to help the kids go back to school and give them a good start,” said Joan Kelly, CWL president.

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, August 25, 2016 53

Flour and sugar bags took on many uses, from rags to blouses Mother was ready to tackle another batch of flour and sugar bags. If she was lucky, she got a sugar bag from Mr. Briscoe at the General Store in Northcote after he finished filling paper bags to put on the shelf in different pound sizes.

These bags were smaller than the ones she got at the gristmill, but the printed dye, for some reason, was much harder to get rid of.

Depending on what she made out of the flour bags, getting all the dye out wasn’t all that important.

It wasn’t unusual to crawl into sheets, made from four opened flour bags, and to still have Red Roses Flour printed for all to see.

When Mother was tackling the dye in the bags, you would know what she was doing when you came in the gate at the back yard.

You could smell javel water and lye soap a mile away.

Once the bags had been washed at least three times, their seams opened, and all the strings and threads gotten rid of, came the job of trying to make the bags suitable for tea towels, underpants for my sister and me, and of course, pinny aprons, and more often than not, blouses.

But getting the dye out was a major job for Mother. The bags would soak overnight in the copper washtub, and if Mother was lucky, the dyes would have greatly faded from the jar of javel water. Using the tongs she used when getting the whites out of boiling water and into the washtub, she would

and began cutting it up. There was no such thing as having a pattern to go by. I knew I was in for another pair of flour bag bloomers.

When Mother was tackling the dye in the bags, you would know what she was doing when you came in the gate at the back yard. You could smell javel water and lye soap a mile away. pull each bag out and put it in the big granite dishpan.

This was when she would know if the whole exercise was a complete bust. Which more often than not, it was.

Very best

For the very best of the bags, the smaller sugar bags, for instance, they would be further treated to a wash of water and lemon juice, and then spread out on the grass to let the sun finish the job.

Sadly, that didn’t always work either, and there it would be, the printing, as large as life, maybe a little bit faded, but far from being completely removed.

I could see the look on Mother’s face when the javel water didn’t work. It was the same look she got when she tried to make over something that had come in the handme-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina, realizing the hopelessness of the whole exer-

Play bloomers

cise, because the suit material was too heavy, the silk dress too fancy, or, as in many cases, what she took out of the box was fit only for the rag bag.

After the kitchen was redded up, Audrey was sent out to bring in the few flour bags, and the one sugar bag which had been treated to the beating sun for the whole afternoon.

Sadly, the printing was as bold as ever.

Mother sighed, got out the scissors, and got down to the job of figuring out what could be made.

Some would become “not for company” tea towels.

The few, which had faded the most, would do for pillowslips and sheets.

She held up the one sugar bag, limp from so many washings and javel treatments, and decided it would have to do for a few dishcloths.

Then she called me over to the sewing machine, held up one of the flour bags, measured my body from the waist to my knees,

Thankfully, the bloomers I would wear to the Northcote School, had seen many, many washings, and the ones Mother was sewing that night would be ‘play bloomers’ until they had been what she called “well broken in”.

Which meant, of course, the printing would be all but gone.

Bloomers made out of flour or sugar bags would not be the most comfortable of underwear until they had been washed many times.

For the first few times of wearing them, they felt like pieces of cardboard against your body, and the tight elastic in the legs didn’t help to soften them either.

Mother had the new bloomers finished before I went to bed.

I would wear them often during the summer, breaking them in, and grateful that by the time I went back to the Northcote School, the bright red and blue words, “PRIDE OF THE VALLEY” across the seat would be all but faded away.

Dad passed away peacefully, at Perth Community Care, surrounded by the love of his wife Maureen, (nee Duffy) on Saturday, August 13, 2016.

Harold Hamilton, of Perth, in his 86th year.

Dad was born on March 29, 1930, in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia to Clyde Hamilton and Mabel Thibodeau.

Harold was predeceased by his cherished daughter Susan Beaupre and treasured grand-daughter Crystal Hamilton.

Loving and respected father to Nancy (Frank) Chartrand, of Aylmer, QC, Christopher (Rose Elaine), of Dartmouth, NS, Brian (Valery), of Lacombe, AB, Maureen (Michael) Bischoff, of McDonalds Corners, Duston (Shelley), of Carleton Place, Deborah (Patrick) Foley, of Perth, and Elizabeth (James) Desrosiers of Saskatoon, SK. Dear father in law to Rene Beaupre.

Mr. Hamilton was the proud grandfather and great-grandfather to many children from the east to west coasts of Canada.

Harold was honoured to serve as a gunner in the 79th Regiment (NATO) for the Canadian Armed Forces.

Harold and Maureen marked 65 years together, and while raising their children, Harold and Maureen resided in Aylmer and Ottawa.

Harold was an esteemed member of the Canadian Senate, where he became a reliable personal assistant to Paul Martin Sr. After his retirement, Harold and Maureen settled in Renfrew, where they looked forward to visits from family and friends, and enjoyed cottage life in nearby Griffith.

Visitation was held at the O’Dacre Family Funeral Home, 15 Victoria Street, Perth, on Tuesday, August 16, from 1:00 pm until service time in the Chapel at 2:00 pm.

Please note: Members of Branch #244, of the Royal Canadian Legion, Perth-on-Tay assembled for a Legion Service at 1:30 pm.

For those wishing, donations to the Canadian Mental Health Association, would be appreciated.

A hard working farmer, Bill strived for perfection in all that he did. He enjoyed his work and his community but his family always came first. He will be long remembered for his gentle, caring manner, his quick wit and his keen sense of humour. We trust that he is enjoying a great game of Euchre with old friends.

Just a memory fond and true To show, dear mother & dad, we often think of you Till we meet again!

Heather & Elwyn

Brian Holt August 12, 1949 – August 25, 2015 God saw you getting tired; a cure was not to be.

He wrapped you in His loving arms and whispered “Come to me”.

You suffered much in silence, our spirit did not bend, You faced your pain with courage until the bitter end.

You tried so hard to stay with us, your fight was not in vain.

God took you to His loving home and freed you from your pain.

A golden heart stopped beating, two working hands at rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

The family of Brian Holt want to express gratitude to the many friends, family members, co-workers and neighbours for your thoughtfulness and sympathy. Thank you to the pallbearers, St. Paul’s Church and the staff of McPhail and Perkins and all his doctors and nurses.

To anyone we may have missed please accept our deepest thanks through this very difficult time.

We often lie awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, and Take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon our cheeks.

Remembering you is easy, We do it everyday, But missing you is heartache That never goes away.

We hold you tightly within our hearts And there you will remain.

Until the joyous day arrives, That we will meet again.

Forever Loved, Ronda & Paul XO

Together life was bright and gay, a parting seemed so far away. You left a place no-one can fill. We miss you dad and always will.

Love and miss you Bobby and Brenda.

Don’t think of him as gone away His journey’s just begun Life holds so many facetsThis earth is only one.

Just think of him as resting From the sorrow and the tears In a place of warmth and comfort Where there are no days and years.

Think how he must be wishing That we could know today How nothing but our sadness can really pass away.

And think of him as living In the hearts of those he touched…
