How we use the internet is evolving, but can your internet provider keep up? We all love the Internet. Thanks to the availability of millions of new services and apps (as of March 2017, Apple’s App Store alone offered 2.2 million apps1), the Internet is making it easier than ever to work, socialize, play, shop, learn, share and keep ourselves entertained from our laptops, tablets and phones. Our nation spends more time online than any other (36.7 hours/month2) as we use our computers to watch movies and TV, our tablets to read, and our smartphones to browse and play. Internet usage is at an all-time high, as 89% of Canadians connect to the Internet.2 In fact, high-speed Internet has become so important to us that 73% of Canadians say they would be unlikely to purchase a home that didn’t have access to high-speed Internet.2

anything about these problems, so you wait for the connection to improve. Why does this happen? Often, it is because of something called “peak hours.” Peak hours are times of the day when more people are online. Maybe your neighbours are streaming movies, sending emails or just surfing the web. It is during these peak hours, when everyone is online at the same time, that some Internet service providers cannot keep up with demand and your connection becomes unreliable. Considering how important the Internet can be in day-to-day life, the challenges of a bad connection can feel endless.

Does your Internet provider give you the freedom you’re looking for?

We demand a lot of our Internet service, especially with more people online at the same time.

Whether kicking back and relaxing, helping the kids with a school projector putting in some overtime from home, Canadians are more connected than ever. Unfortunately, many of us have difficulty finding an Internet provider that can keep up, all because of where we live. As technology evolves, those who live outside of urban areas continue to be limited to what entertainment we can enjoy, how our families can connect, and where we can work. We should be beyond this problem, shouldn’t we?

If you’re spending time online (and who isn’t these days?), you’re likely familiar with the frustration of slow connection speeds, or an Internet connection that simply doesn’t work. We’ve all experienced these problems: Netflix slows to a standstill, emails sit in your outbox, or that dreaded icon spins endlessly in the middle of your screen. You feel helpless to do

500 GB of data/month means you can: Watch 200 hours of Netflix

and

Skype for over 1,000 hours

and

and

Connect on multiple devices in your household

Fortunately, there are new options to make the most of our online experience, even in rural areas.

Outsmart slowdowns with Xplornet’s new & improved LTE network To get ahead of slow Internet, look for a true high-speed Internet provider with state-of-the-art technology in your area.

Renfrew councillor in hospital with spinal cord injury TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com

Renfrew Coun. Tom Sidney is recovering at the Ottawa Civic Hospital after a serious accident on Friday, Sept. 1, when he suffered a spinal cord injury. On arrival to the Renfrew Victoria Hospital, Sidney was transferred to Ottawa where he underwent emergency surgery. He now has none or limited movement for all extremities and will need extensive rehabilitation. “He is doing OK,” said his sister-in-law, Emily Drew on Sept. 6. “There is no guarantee that he will regain full mobility ever again.” Drew didn’t go into any details about the fall/ accident, but confirmed Sidney was diagnosed with spinal stenosis — a hereditary spine deformity that was causing sudden weakness and falls. In a Facebook post, Sidney’s wife Shelly said they are both incredibly grateful for all the love, prayers and support they have received from not only family and friends but from the whole community. “We are truly overwhelmed by your selflessness and generosity,” she said Sept. 7. “Tom had a fall on Friday (Sept. 1) night that due to this disease he was unable to break his fall with his arms and landed terribly on his head and neck.” On Sept. 8 he was transferred out of the ICU. However he will still be in the hospital for sometime. After his release, Sidney will require homecare while he completes his rehabilitation. “A week ago today our lives were turned upside down, but Tom is finally out of the ICU. We know there is still a lot of work ahead for Tom...but at least now we can concentrate on his recovery and physio,” said Shelly in a Facebook

post. “He has been able to get up in his wheelchair for about two hours a day for the past two days, which is great progress from where he was a week ago. “Again we want to thank everyone for your love and support during this difficult time...totally overwhelming.” Drew has started a GoFundMe page to help the Sidneys (who marked their first wedding anniversary on Sept. 1) with the numerous expenses they are now dealing with. “He is in Ottawa and they are both unable to work right now, and some money would help them stay on their feet,” said Drew as to why she started the fundraising campaign. “It was an emergency situation that was unexpected.” Sidney works at the Robbie Dean Family Counselling Centre as a clinic supervisor. He is also in his first term serving as a councillor for the Town of Renfrew. “Tom is not only on council, he has changed many lives in our community. Both have volunteered their time at numerous events over the years,” said Drew. “They have also helped bring others together in a time of need or celebration.” As of Monday night the GoFundMe page had already raised close to $4,000 with many community members leaving messages of supPhoto courtesy Shelly Sidney port for the couple. Shelly and Tom Sidney are all smiles after he was released from the ICU at the Ottawa Renfrew Mayor Don Eady wishes his council Hospital on Friday, Sept. 8. Renfrew Coun.

Sidney,” said Eady. “ He will definitely be missed at the council table until he returns.” Drew is also working with community members to plan a fundraising dance in the near future.

Ruck 2 Remember set to stop in Cobden, Renfrew, Arnprior On Sept. 14 through to Sept. 17, a mixed group of civilian and service members will be stepping off from the Petawawa Legion to undertake a 150-kilometre weighted ruck march to honour our nation’s 150th birthday and those who have sacrificed for it, namely our veterans, police, and first responders. Ruck 2 Remember, the organization putting on the event, is a not-for-profit organization that is in it’s fourth year raising funds and awareness for issues facing veterans. Their flagship event every year is the “Road To Recovery,” and this year the event will be coming to the Ottawa Valley to once again raise awareness for veterans and funds for “Operation: Leave the Streets Behind,” a veterans charity managed by the Royal Canadian Legion. Operation Leave the Streets behind is a registered charity that works to transition veterans off the streets into sustainable housing. It works hand in hand with the legion’s other resources to help get the veteran in need longterm funding, work, housing and support as needed. To date the program has assisted 525 veterans in more than 117 communities -- including 93 in the Ottawa Region. The “Ruck 2 Remember” team will be start-

ing at the Petawawa Legion, rallying at 8 a.m. and stepping off at 9 a.m. From there they will make their way south to Cobden’s Legion Hall. The next day the team will step off again from the hall at 10 a.m and continue south until they reach Branch 148 in Renfrew. Day 3 will have the team starting off at 9 a.m. and getting to Arnprior’s legion hall where they will rest and refresh before the final leg on the 17th covering 43 kilometres from Arnprior to the Kanata legion. For those wishing to support “Operation: Leave The Streets Behind” and help keep veterans off the street, the legions above will be hosting the team each night and will be open to the public to come out, meet the “Ruck 2 Remember” team and donate to the cause. On Sept. 17 the Kanata legion (70 Hines Rd.) will be hosting a barbecue to close out the event. Proceeds from that event will also go to the cause. If you want to learn more about the event, its history, how to get involved and how to donate you can go to www.ruck2remember.com/ road-to-recovery.html and follow the team on Facebook (ruck.to.remember) and Instagram (ruck_to_remember) where they will be liveposting over the four days.

No one else is doing that work.” The couple actually owns three businesses, including a traditional farm near their home closer to Cobden, and a seed selling business called Uniseeds Incorporated. But it is ValleyBio, a leading source for hemp seed genetics in Eastern Ontario, which comprises the largest share.

Hemp is still closely aligned with marijuana in many people’s mind. They don’t realize that industrial hemp, which is what the Stones grow, has a variety of uses and potentials. Automaker Henry Ford even predicted a car built and fuelled by hemp. “He wasn’t lying,” Keanan said, noting that its potential is being realized in car parts, lubricants, and even building insulation. Hemp is considered among the “super foods” hence its oil and seeds are popular at health food stores. It is considered a durable textile for clothing, handbags and more. The Stones see a clear future for hemp, which is why they are early onto its production and development in the region. But they are also experiment-

Douglas’ Cull family named BMO arm Family of the year TIFFANY LEPACK

left their home in Limerick, Ireland. They first settled in Fitzroy Township and moved to the Ottawa Valley in 1857. In 1865, Preston’s great-grandfather William and his wife Ellen moved to the present-day home just outside of Douglas. According to the nomination form, the Cull family have continued to embrace the mixed-farming concept. They remain diversified, with the beef operation being the largest component of the farm business. They also have a dairy herd and continue to milk cows. The crop component of the business is managed to supply homegrown feed for the large number of livestock housed on the farm. The Cull family is deeply involved in their community and for 15 years the family has hosted an old-time barn dance on the homestead, donating thousands of dollars to a variety of local causes. Donations have gone to Hospice Renfrew, the Renfrew Victoria Hospital, the Renfrew Victoria Hospital CT Scan fund, local families in need, the Douglas Lions Club, and the Douglas Community St Patrick’s Day parade, to name a few.

They are one of the most giving families in the community and they’ve now been recognized for their efforts. The Ontario Plowmen’s Association named the Cull family one of 11 families who have been chosen to receive the 2017 BMO Ontario Farm Family award. The award honours them for their dedication to Ontario’s agriculture sector and the rural way of life. Preston Cull was at a loss for words when reacting to being named one of the farm families of the year. “It makes me feel good,” said Cull. “It’s an honour to receive it and hard work always pays off.” His wife Terry was also very humSubmitted ble about the award. “It’s hard to believe, it’s very much The Cull family from Douglas, Jeff, Preston, Ella-Mae, Samantha, Terry and Julettea, has been named one of an honour,” said Terry. “We didn’t re- 11 families to receive the 2017 BMO Ontario Farm Family award. ally expect it, there are lots of good farmers in Renfrew County.” raise their family on the farm, which rural heritage, those who are tirelessly lettea, and Ella-Mae.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Keeping Terry’s hope alive It’s an event that takes place every year, yet its importance never wanes. Each year, millions of participants in 25 countries across the globe walk, run or bike in the annual Terry Fox Run. According to the Canadian Cancer Society, nearly 1 in 2 Canadians can expect to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Set for Renfrew and Arnprior on Sunday, Sept. 17, countless local participants lend their support to the event, which raises much-needed funds for cancer research. Terry Fox was diagnosed with bone cancer in his right leg in 1977 and had his leg amputated 15 cm above the knee. While in hospital, he was so overcome by the suffering of other cancer patients that he decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. He called his journey the Marathon of Hope. The run began in 1980 with the goal of informing Canadians of the importance of finding a cure for the disease. “With fierce determination, he ran an average of 42 kilometres (26 miles) every day for 143 days. Terry was forced to end his run on Sept. 1, 1980 when the cancer spread to his lungs,” says the Terry Fox Foundation’s website. “By Febru-

ary 1, 1981, Terry’s dream of raising $1 for every Canadian was realized – the Terry Fox Marathon of Hope fund totaled $24.17 million. Terry died in June 1981.” The Terry Fox Foundation’s mission is to maintain the vision and principles of Terry Fox while raising money for cancer research through the annual Terry Fox Run, Terry Fox School Run, as well as via memoriam donations and planned giving. “Everyone is welcome to participate in a Terry Fox Run, regardless of age, athletic ability or socio-economic standing. While the run does not have an entry fee or minimum donation we do ask all participants to fundraise or make a donation,” says the website. “You can raise funds online, use a pledge sheet or make a donation at the run site. Whatever your choice, please know that every dollar counts.” And while it’s held every year, the event continues to evolve. Renfrew’s organizers are seeking out replacements to run the event. In Arnprior, a youth co-organizer is helping lead the charge. To all those heading out this Sunday, we believe in you, thanks for all you do, and remember, in the words of Terry Fox himself: “Anything’s possible if you try.”

Confusion surrounding closing of tax loopholes To the editor:

Many people feel cynicism regarding the relationship of politicians with special interest groups. What is poorly understood however is that policy complexity is where special interests tend to discreetly gouge the public’s wealth. Lobbies from the oil, pharmaceutical, dairy, and global investment arbitration industries take advantage of anti-economic monopolies that are difficult for ordinary citizens to understand. Recently Canadians are also seeing the “small” business lobby abusing public sympathy to defend special tax loopholes most available to the rich. In July the federal government’s Finance Minister Bill Morneau published a discussion paper proposing three reforms to the private business tax system: requiring that employees that are family to the business owner engage in genuine work to qualify for

splitting the income across the family, higher taxes on passive investment income within a business, and reduced ability to convert income into capital gains. In response to this proposal, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, the Canadian Medical Association, and Conservatives like MP Cheryl Gallant have been spreading misinformation about the tax changes. Accusations have been made that the Liberals are hurting small-businesses everywhere, or even that healthcare services will be diminished by the coming flight of doctors to south of the border. In reality, the small business tax system is accidentally structured in such a way that a minority of business owners are privileged with unique opportunities to engage in legal tax evasion. Because of these tax loopholes, no one is more likely to own a private incorporated business than a wealthy person.

For example, a business owner with an income of $300,000 could split the income with three family members by hiring them as fake employees, thereby reducing their tax brackets and saving $48,000 from taxation. Research from economists such as Michael Wolfson of the University of Ottawa has found that of the top one percent of Canadians, those with incomes over $163,300, a majority have ownership in private companies. Of the top 0.01 per cent of Canadians with incomes over $2.3 million, almost 80 percent of them have ownership in private companies. The reforms are not intended to target all businesses, because the tax loopholes benefit only a minority of business owners. Those who would be most affected by the reforms would merely be compelled to pay the same taxes as fellow business owners of the same income. For example, over

21,000 of Canada’s more than 52,000 doctors do not own businesses, and most doctors who do own businesses would not likely be using the tax loopholes to much advantage. The proposals from the Liberal government are far from perfect, as the Chamber of Commerce has made the correct criticism that intrusive audits might be expected of businesses with ownership shared within families. However, critics from the business community have not suggested alternatives to closing the tax loopholes. Hundreds of millions of dollars in public spending is at stake in closing business tax loopholes that advantage Canada’s wealthy elite. The wrath of these wealthy business owners should be seen for what it is: pretending to the humility of mom-and-pop operations while fighting for upper-class privilege. Stefan Klietsch, Renfrew

Regatta on the Bonnechere River HERITAGE RENFREW

Wednesday, Aug. 19, 1914, the Civic Holiday in Renfrew was the day of the big regatta. There was still enough novelty about the big sheet of water formed three years earlier by the building of the new power dam that a committee of young men had organized an afternoon of sports at the river. Sixteen events were held, about equally divided between swimming and canoeing. Admission was free and the prizes were medals. In those days there was no Recreation Commission giving 350 kids swimming lessons at the beach like today (in the 1960s). So nearly all the competitors were adults. The weather was fine and the regatta was a great sucThe big water regatta on the Bonnechere River was held on Aug. 19, 1914. cess. The crowd sat on the sloping bank below the CPR tracks and had a perfect view of the whole show. Charlie Dewey, with the big megaphone, was the official announcer and Rod Fraser was secretary. Among the winners in canoe races were Rod Fraser, Syd Pottinger and Pete Rousselle and in swimming Wilfred Bolam won the race for married men and was second in the mile swim.

Big Brothers Big Sisters meeting Sept. 21 As Canada’s leading child and youth mentoring charity, Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) facilitates life-changing relationships that inspire and empower children and youth to reach their full potential. September is Big Brothers Big Sisters Month across Canada. This month, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Renfrew County is asking Renfrew County citizens to imagine who a young person can become when they have the support of a caring adult in their lives. Research demonstrates mentoring leads to significant reductions in risky behaviour, violence, bullying and substance use, as well as significant increases in civic engagement, positive mental health and academic achievement. Our goal is to recruit 30 mentors in 30 Days to match with the local children/youth on our waiting list. The ‘Meet the Mentor’ volunteer information session is where interested individuals can come out to learn more about the organization, what it takes to become a mentor, what volunteer opportunities are available, and to hear testimonials of current mentors. The next Meet the Mentor volunteer information session will take place at the Arnprior Public Library on Thursday, Sept. 21, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Refreshments and resources on site. If you or someone you know has one to four hours a week to share with a deserving child, please contact BBBSRC: info@bbbso.ca, 1-844-414-2227 or visit their website www.bbbsrc.ca.

The bulge and hole in this Eastern Chipmunk’s belly are due to a most unusual parasite.

Chipmunks carry strange passengers For every animal we see, there are myriad ones that go unnoticed. Some of these are missed because they are tiny, so small that magnification is needed to ascertain whether they are bits of debris or miniature insects. Others reside under the bark of trees, invisible to our eye but detected by the tongues of woodpeckers. And still others inhabit the hidden worlds of water and soil. There are parasites that live in or on other animals. Some such as leeches and ticks live on the outside, taking small amounts of blood without having deleterious effects on their hosts. Roundworms and tapeworms live in the digestive tracts of their hosts. These internal parasites (endoparasites) also live out their lives seldom causing harm to their gigantic hosts. Recently, in Algonquin Park, I encountered an Eastern chipmunk with a parasite in its body. While I couldn’t actually see the parasite, I knew where and what it was by its host’s appearance. The chipmunk had a large bulge with a central hole on the left side of its neck. The parasite was the parasitic fly grub Cuterebra emasculator, the emasculating bot fly. Cuterebra is a fascinating fly but not just because it lives

under the skin of its host, eating its flesh without apparently inflicting excessive discomfort or other detrimental effects. To me, how it gets there is the most remarkable aspect of its story. Only the grub (larva) lives as a parasite. The adult flies do not have developed mouthparts and thus do not eat. Their sole purpose is to reproduce. After mating, the adult female fly deposits her eggs on the forest floor where Eastern chipmunks roam. When a chipmunk passes over an egg, it behaves like a little heat-activated landmine. The warmth causes it to quickly hatch, and the tiny larva immediately grabs onto the unsuspecting host and moves around until it eventually reaches the nose or mouth. Once inside the

chipmunk, the grub burrows under the skin to the belly region where it punctures the skin to create a breathing hole. Here it lives off its host, through time developing into a huge subcutaneous parasite that eventually exits through the breathing hole when it is ready to pupate in the soil. There are other species of Cuterebra that live inside mice and other rodents. People conducting research on small mammals have reported catching in live traps chipmunks and mice that had been parasitized by Cuterebra in previous years, which means that the unsightly hole somehow did not get infected and the host survived its ordeal. And despite its name, the emasculating bot fly does not appear to emasculate its host, and apparently does not differentiate between male and female chipmunks. It may not be a pretty sight to see a chipmunk with a Cuterebra bulging out of its belly. But we should never judge an animal on the basis of its appearance or lifestyle. Like its host, the Cuterebra grub is simply eking out a living. It may not be the most savoury way of doing just that, but it certainly is a fascinating one! Email: mruntz@start.ca

Admaston/Bromley senior awakes to break and enter An Admaston/Bromley senior had a frightening experience over the long weekend and police are looking for the public’s help to solve the crime. Between 4:30 and 5 a.m. on Sept. 4, a senior awoke in their South McNaughton Road home and heard talking. “The resident, a senior citizen who was home alone, yelled and the suspects took off,” said Const. Janice Sawbridge. “It doesn’t appear that anything was taken.”

There was some damage done to the residence to gain entry, she added, and there was some physical evidence seized at the scene. “We’re certainly looking for anyone who might have information on this incident,” said Sawbridge. Const. Mark O’Dacre is the investigating officer. Anyone with information can call the non-emergency OPP line at 1-888310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477.

Cyclist injured

An adult male cyclist was injured Friday evening, Sept. 1, when he hit a stopped pickup truck in Renfrew. Ontario Provincial Police spokesperson Const. Janice Sawbridge said the man was riding his bike at Stewart Street and Ready Avenue when he collided with a pickup truck that was stopped. “It appears the cyclist was not wearing a helmet,” she said. “He was transported to hospital in serious condition.” The incident occurred at 6:10 p.m. and the street was closed for several hours. Const. J.P. St-Cyr is the investigating officer and the investigation is continuing. Anyone who might have witnessed the incident is asked to call police at 1-888-310-1122.

ASK YOURSELF HOW MUCH YOU KNOW ABOUT TODAY’S ELECTRONIC MONITORING SYSTEMS, AND HOW THEY CAN HELP YOUR CLIENTS. WE WANT TO HELP YOU IN YOUR QUEST TO HAVE THE COURTS RELEASE YOUR CLIENTS ON EITHER A PRETRIAL BAIL, OR FROM AN IMMIGRATION HOLD SITUATION. • You will help your client’s chances of release if you advise the court that in addition to your client’s sureties you will be adding the use of GPS Electronic Monitoring of your client as an additional security measure. • When your client is also willing to pay for (with no cost to the taxpayer) the electronic monitoring system and be monitored and tracked 24/7/365, the court may gain a higher level of security regarding “fear of flight”. • We at TraTek can help on a case-by-case basis with such things as notarized affidavits, and/or we can testify at the hearings. If we testify we can explain to the court about how the new electronic monitoring systems work, and just what can be done with the software that runs the systems. • Electronic Monitoring can not only be helpful for both immigration issues and pretrial bail supervision but it can also be helpful when used for conditional sentences, probation, parole, domestic disputes, and child protection. Including child custody or access issues. • If you would like to learn more about how we can help both you and your client give us a toll free call at 1-888-850-9691, and ask for Len.

CLARE HAMILTON September 13, 2012

Those we love don’t go away, They walk beside us every day, Unseen, unheard but always near, Still loved, still missed, and forever dear.

Remembrance is a golden chain, Death tries to break but all in vain; To have, to love and then to part, Is the greatest sorrow of one’s heart. Time may wipe out many things, But this they wipe out never The memory of those happy days, When we were all together.

Always remembered, Dave

CLARE HAMILTON September 13, 2012 A gentle wind blew across the land, Reaching out to take a hard, Take a hand. For on the winds, the angels came, Calling out a Mother’s name. Left behind, the children’s tears, Loving memories of the year’s. Of joy and love, a life well spent, And now to God, a mother’s sent. On Angels wings, a heavenly flight, the journey home, towards the light. To those who weep, a life is gone. But in God’s love, its but the dawn. Trevor, Andrew, Chris and Families

Richard Gill celebrates Canada with his 45th anniversary fall show

“Canadian Icons” celebrates Canada’s 150th and opens at Richards Fog Run studio at Bittersweet Gallery in Burnstown Sept. 30 with a vernissage from 2 til 8 p.m. and will continue to Oct. 9 daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Gill will give an artist’s talk Sept. 30 at 3 and 7 p.m. and again at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 7.

Leonard Cohen, Rick Mercer, Wayne Gretzky, Emily Carr, Joni Mitchell, The Tragically Hip, Buffy Saint Marie, Glenn Gould, Oscar Peterson, Don Cherry, Maud Lewis are just few personalities that many of us admire or revere as purely Canadian. They are among just a few that will make up the all Canadian cast of at least 45 icons that Burnstown sculptor Richard Gill has chosen to portray in clay for his show this fall. Highlights of the show will include the iconic beauty of Canada’s wilderness and milestone events like Chris Hadfield tethered to the Canadarm space shuttle suspended over planet earth. Another work captures the magic and colour of Cirque du Soleil depicting the strength and grace of the human form. Well known for rendering a vast array of custom works since the 1970s, this show marks a milestone of creative energy in Gill’s 45 year career as a full-time artist sculptor. His show is an event that reveals his most creative conceptual ideas presented in a cohesive body of work. Gill’s kiln-fired hand-

Renfrew’s KFC’s manager retires after 43 years TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com

After 43 years, he still does not know the colonel’s secret recipe. But Floyd Rebertz’ hard work and dedication have certainly paid off as he just retired from Kentucky Fried Chicken after 43 years. His last day on the job was Friday, Sept. 8 and he laughed and joked with loyal customers. “I’m a talker; I got to know my customers and they are like family to me,” said Rebertz. Rebertz worked at the Arnprior location for 29 years and the rest of the time he spent in Renfrew. He is retiring as the restaurant’s general manager. He’s had some good times at the local restaurants over the years. Submitted “I enjoyed the job,” said Rebertz. “I mentored a lot of Floyd Rebertz retired on Sept. 8 from Kentucky Fried Chicken after the kids over the years.” 43 years.

As for what’s next? “It’s bittersweet leaving the company but I will have more time with my wife and kids,” said Rebertz. “I want to have some time off to relax and rediscover myself, to see what life is outside work hours.” Janet McLaughlin has worked with him for four years and has fond memories. “I love Floyd, he’s a good boss and makes you laugh,” said McLaughlin. “He is a very dedicated man,” added Linda Inwood. “It won’t be the same without him.” Rebertz had some very special parting words as he left his post after 43 years. “Always remember to smile and share a hug when someone needs it.”

Country Music Hall of Fame set to induct four new members It was 1981 when the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame (OVCMHOF) honoured the late Mac Beattie as its first inductee. Now, 36 years later, the organization will be adding four new members to the prestigious list of inductees at its annual awards show and induction ceremonies later this month. The lifetime contributions of Eddie Bimm, Lyman Gardiner, Roddy McCann, and Jon ParkWheeler will be recognized, and the Hall of Fame show also promises country music fans an evening of some of the best entertainers the Ottawa Valley has to offer. “We’re excited about this year’s show and we can promise you a great evening of entertainment as we induct our 2017 Hall of Fame members,” said Jim Long, OVCMHOF president. “We will be recognizing their many achievements and contributions that have furthered country music in our community.” The event is set for Centrepointe Theatre in Nepean on Sunday, Sept. 24.

raised in Pembroke, and has spent 50 years in the music and entertainment business ever since he formed his first band when he was just 15 years old. A multi-talented and versatile artist, Bimm can play everything from jazz to country, classical to rock, and everything in between. His talents have led him to doing studio work and touring with recording artists such as Susan Aglukark, Charlie Major, Sneezy Waters, the Cooper Brothers, Randall Prescott, and Wayne Rostad. He has also recorded music for CBC, CJOH, and the National Film Board of Canada, making numerous television appearances through the years. He currently performs with Johnny Vegas and Sherry Harding, and has been the band leader for many years with the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame band. Lyman Gardiner is no stranger to the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame as he was on the board of directors for 25 years, and played a role in honouring 105 inductees during that time. He held down 2017 inductees numerous roles on the board, Eddie Bimm was born and including several terms as pres-

ident. All the while, his focus was on showcasing the endless talent and accomplishments of country music artists and volunteers in the Ottawa Valley. Born and raised in Carleton Place, Gardiner still calls the Ottawa Valley home today, living along the Mississippi River in Pakenham with his wife Doris Rankin. The two have raised two children — Rachael and Robert — and the family continues to volunteer in their community. Roddy McCann has always had music in his blood, and his talents have taken him on the road to perform for nearly 60 years. He first began playing sax professionally in 1960 with The Valiants, then he joined the Showmen in 1962. For both bands, he became a staple on the west-Quebec music scene. It was in the early 1970s when he took a sabbatical to Europe and joined two Irish show bands, touring Ireland, England, and Wales before spending six weeks on an American Forces base in western Germany. Building on that experience, he became the resident sax player at Irwin Prescott’s Golden Rail in Vanier in 1973, before form-

ing the band Patchwork — then Private Stock — in the Ottawa area. McCann was also part of Bobby Curtola’s backup band when he was in Ottawa. He’s been part of The Fabulous Heartbeats band since the 1990s and continues to entertain around the Ottawa Valley. Jon Park-Wheeler cannot remember a time in his life that didn’t involve music. The Ottawa native, who now calls the Eganville area home, began his music career with piano lessons as a child. But it was when the Beatles led the British Invasion of music to North America that he was drawn to the guitar. Fifty-three years later, he continues to hone his craft. ParkWheeler has performed across Canada, and as far abroad as Europe and Australia. He’s worked with an impressive list of artists, including John “Spi-

der” Macdonald, Neville Wells, Carroll Baker, Ronnie Prophet, and The Family Brown. He has made numerous television appearances and was also the puppeteer on the kids’ TV show Marie Soleil for all 130 episodes. He continues to share his music by teaching and released his first solo CD in 2013. He said none of this would have been possible without Heather, his wife of 43 years. They have two children — Ozzie and Jesse. Great evening planned In addition to the induction ceremonies, some of the Valley’s most talented entertainers will take to the stage at Centrepointe throughout the evening. The lineup includes: Eddie Bimm; Roddy McCann; Jon Park-Wheeler; Bahoo, Brat & The Commander; Ray and Glen Adams; Cheryl Adrain;

Colin Amey; Dan Ducharme; Cashman Ford; Lauren Hall; Mike Hamelin; Sherri Harding; Eric Hawkes; Dusty King Jr.; Laurie Laporte-Piticco; Danny Loyer; Emma & Will March; Casey McCann; Brendan & Jamie McMunn; Brad & Barry Munro; Steve Piticco; Dan Paul Rogers; and Johnny Spinks. The evening will be hosted by 2004 HOF inductee Art Jamieson. The show begins at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 24 at Nepean’s Centrepointe Theatre and tickets are $40 per person. You can buy them online at www. centrepointetheatres.com or by calling 613-580-2700.

Dragonfly welcomes Clubs 4 Kids BILL RAINBOTH, GENERAL MANAGER Dragonfly Golf Links

Saturday was by far the nicest day of the recent Labour Day weekend. Thanks to Greg Wallbeck for organizing almost 90 golfers at this year’s Renfrew Legion Golf Tournament. Dinner convened at the legion after golf and Dragonfly is already looking forward to hosting again next year. After a wet and cool Sunday, Dragonfly wanted nothing more than to get on with business as usual...and then it rained some more, cancelling our Monday edition of Men’s League. Tuesday’s League, however, was a different story with a full complement of 13 teams participating. Scoring was unusually low, with none lower than Ray’s Flowers winning A flight. The Wild Horsemen corralled a great round of their own winning B flight. Closest to the Pin winners were Dan Hisko on #5 and Rory Whalen on #7. The Mountain Men in two A flight on Wednesday as they round into form for the Men’s Closing Event this coming Saturday, Sept. 16. Opeongo Bowldrome forgot that they were in B flight, winning easily and tying for low gross score of the week. Closest to the pin were Zach McIntyre on #5, and Keith Bilson on #7. Thursday began with one of our most important events of the year — the second annual Clubs 4 Kids golf tournament. Terlin Construction is owned by Terry McLaughlin, who also proudly owns Dragonfly Golf Links. Several dedicated Terlin Staff organized this charity event hosting over 120 people, with proceeds going to the Children’s Hospital or Eastern Ontario, and the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa. With the help of all the participants, its sponsors, and about a dozen volunteers, the event raised over $50,000. I think it is safe to say that all of us have either known someone who has been through one of these charities, or even benefitted directly from them. As well as being one on a long list of sponsors, Dragonfly was proud to be the hosts of this great event. Later that evening, Thursday Ladies League resumed with team Closest to Pinned winning C flight, the Tee Time Girls winning B flight, and team Seriously (?) continued their hot streak winning A flight. Closest to the pin winners were Laurie Coady on #7, and Amanda Cameron on #13. It was another great week at Dragonfly. The course is in amazing shape, the fall colours are starting to turn and we hope you get out to see it for yourself!

History was made on Aug. 28 when Dragonfly Golf Links fielded its first-ever Senior Ladies Intersectional team. Not only did they field a team, but they hosted the event as well. The team comprised of Christine O’Hara, Donna Falcon, Pat Lee, Marion Knox, Kathy Hamilton, Pam McFarlane and Therese Williams. Dragonfly came second to a strong team from Larrimac Golf Club, but ahead of the Stittsville (formerly Glen Mar) Golf Club. Thank you ladies for being such great ambassadors, say Dragonfly officials.

Renfrew County Warden’s Cup golf tournament a fundraising success On Sept. 8, a sunny and cool day, 78 enthusiastic golfers set out to drive home the importance of giving back. The 13th Annual Warden’s Cup Invitational Golf Tournament was hosted this year by County of Renfrew Warden Jennifer Murphy at the beautiful Whitetail Golf Club in Bonnechere Valley Township. The best-ball-format shotgun-start tournament saw teams from across the county and beyond turn out for 18 holes of golf, dinner, and prizes, all in support of the Renfrew Victoria Hospital oncology unit. “I want to take an opportunity

to thank each participant and every sponsor for their generosity and support with making the 13th annual tournament such a success. I also congratulate the winning team for a match well played; that being said, the Renfrew Victoria Hospital oncology unit and the recipients of their expert care are the real winners today. Fundraising events like this tournament are a real testament to the giving nature of our residents,” said Murphy. Murphy presented Randy Penney from the Renfrew Victoria Hospital a

cheque in the amount of $3,700. The donation was made up from funds raised at the tournament and staff denim days held earlier in the year at County of Renfrew offices. Later in the day, during the presentations, event MC Bruce Beakley, director of human resources at the County of Renfrew, announced the winning team. The happy winners — Stewart Melanson, Andrew Hamilton, Kevin Atwater, and Gary Pultz — posed for a picture with their trophy and prizes in front of an applauding crowd in the clubhouse.

RGC Team Sharpe wins Solheim Cup KEVIN SEBULSKI, GENERAL MANAGER Renfrew Golf Club

Renfrew Golf Club (RGC) ladies held another fun event this past weekend with our own take on the Solheim Cup. Our Ladies Section divided into two teams, Team Lee Sharpe and Team Doreen Latraverse, for a fun team-versus-team event. The teams were named in honour of two great members, Lee and Doreen, who passed away earlier this year. The matches were played as six-hole best ball, six-hole modified alternate shot, and six-hole scramble. At the end of the matches, both teams were tied, resulting in a playoff on hole 18. With a patio full of golfers, Team Sharpe’s captain’s picks of Lisa Smith and Marg Agnew birdied the hole to de34 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, September 14, 2017

Our Monday Men’s Rec League suffered another rainout and our Ladies Rec League just started their twoweek cycle, so we’ll have results next week. Tuesday’s Ladies Day results saw the Mau sisters, Faith and Bev, finish one-two in Ladies C Flight with 38 and 35 points respectively. Joyce Stark had the highest points total of the week with 40.5 to win B Flight by a point over Cheryl Campbell, with Vi Rossy third. And in A Flight, Mary Peer was the big winner with 39.5 points with Mary Ann Abrams second. In Men’s Thursday play, Butch Brown’s big birdie on the seventh carried him to the Super Senior win with

the week’s high score of 24 points, with Jim Senack second and Brian Francis third. C Flight’s Vic McSheffrey’s 22.5 points edged Donald Carty, with Eric Smith and Peter Cranston tying for third. Jamey Larone took B Flight last week with 20 points, with Mike Asselin second and another tie for third between Brad Sammon and Rick Desilets. And in A Flight, Larry Vice sneaked out a narrow half-point victory over a trio of guys made up of Tim O’Connor, Bill James, and Keith Brydges. Finally, a reminder RGC is proud to once again host the 24th annual Laurel Rafuse Memorial Golf Tournament on Sunday Sept. 17.

Renfrew Curling Club hosts open house on Friday, Sept. 15 the male-centred views will be balanced by the perspective of the fairer sex (although, what is fair about it definitely ends with appearance). This summer’s wet and cool weather only added to my depressed mood after series of mishaps had me banished from my own construction site as I was deemed to be a danger to myself and all those around me. I decided to golf a little more as this seemed a safe pastime for someone who enjoys his winter slides on ice throwing 40-pound rocks.

CCHL2 opens season with annual showcase weekend in Ottawa TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com

The Whitewater Kings have won their firstever Central Canada Tier 2 Hockey League game. The Arnprior Packers went undefeated and the Renfrew Timberwolves dropped both of their games in open weekend action. All teams hit the ice at the Richcraft Sensplex in Gloucester, an early chance for teams to size each other up over 16 games. In the first game on Saturday, Sept. 9, the Arnprior Packers defeated the Embrun Panthers 4-3 in a shootout. The Panthers got on the scoreboard first but the Packers answered back at 5:17 of the first with a goal by Brandon English on the power play assisted by Bailey Hein and Alexandre Ferraton. The Panthers scored two goals in the second period and kept the Packers off the score sheet. It was all Arnprior in the third to force the shootout with a power-play goal by Ty Power assisted by English and Franco Gagnon. Gagnon tied things up late in the third period unassisted. Alex Caparelli had the shootout winner for the Packers. The Timberwovles fell to the Ottawa West Golden Knights Saturday afternoon 6-3. Scoring for the Wolves were Zach Moran, Curtis Foster and Isaac Perreault and getting helpers were: Andrew McIntyre, with three assists and Luke Marinic.

In their first ever regular season league game , the Kings were victorious over the Alexandria Glens 3-1. The Glens tied things midway in the first period and after that the Kings went on to score one in the second and one more in the third. Michael Karas, Michael Hubers and Peter White scored for the Kings with assists going to Reid Barber, Chad Cherry and Gage Tremblay. Kevin Proulx made 28 saves for the Kings. In the Sunday afternoon game, the Packers doubled up the Richmond Royals 6-3. Six different players secured the victory for the Packers with goals coming from: Davis Goodwin, Hein, English, Colin Baggio, Gagnon and Power. In the Sunday night game, the Char-Lan Rebels defeated the Timberwolves 5-3, McIntyre added a pair and Foster got the other. The Timberwolves welcome the Carleton Place Jr. Canadians, who are also new to the league, to Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre in Renfrew on Wednesday, Sept. 13 at 8 p.m. On Thursday, Sept. 14, the Packers travel to face the always tough Ottawa West Golden Knights at 7:15 p.m. in Ottawa. Friday, Sept. 15 will see the Highway 17 rivalry between the Packers and Timberwolves reignited for the new season in Arnprior at the Nick Smith arena at 8 p.m. On Saturday, Sept. 16 the Whitewater Kings will play their first-ever home game as they host the Renfrew Timberwolves at 7 p.m. in Cobden.

The tournament welcomed 21 players to the courts at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. International foods were served from each country to make the day a huge success.

CCHL1 Kanata Lasers to play six games in Renfrew TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland

A different level of hockey is set to hit the ice at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre this season. The Kanata Lasers of the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL1) will play six games in Renfrew this season. Corey Greer, director of the Lasers and his wife Kim, the team administrator, have lived in Renfrew for 12 years and she says the team is very community-oriented. “It’s high caliber hockey that we have not seen in Renfrew since the days of the NHA in the 1900s,” said Kim.

“We hope people will come out and see how great the hockey is.” The team has already committed to relocating to Renfrew should the second ice pad at Ma-Te-Way be approved for construction. “We are trying to gage the community interest in a team,” said Kim. “If the second ice pad is approved we have made that commitment to relocate.” She says bringing the team to Renfrew will have both an economic spinoff and something for the kids to strive towards. The first CCHL1 game will be played this weekend, Saturday, Sept. 16 at 7 p.m. against Hawkesbury. On Oct. 20 at 8 p.m. the Lasers will play

Cornwall. And the four-time Bogart champions Carleton Places Canadians will travel to Renfrew on Nov. 18 at 7:30 p.m. Then on Dec. 16 and Jan. 13, 2018 the Pembroke Lumber Kings will come to town. The final game will be on Feb. 17, 2018 at 7:30 p.m. also against Pembroke. Admission for adults is $12, senior/students $10 and children $2. Admission is free for minor hockey players wearing their jersey. “That’s the incentive to get the younger ones out,” said Kim. “It’s something to do on a Saturday night.”

HOME, GARDEN & RENOVATIONS Happy 100th anniversary to Scott & Son’s Hardware

Renfrew’s Scott & Son’s Hardware is marking its centennial in 2017. Jeff and Paul Scott, right, hold some of the historic calendars the store has produced over the years. They are also standing beside the Dictaphone from the early 1900s that their grandfather Lorne used to dictate orders at Scott and Son’s Hardware a 100 years ago. For full story see page 41 and 44.

HOME, GARDEN & RENOVATIONS Scott & Sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hardware marks 100th anniversary in Renfrew TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com

A lot has changed in 100 years. One thing that has stayed the same is the dedicated, family-centred service at downtown Renfrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Scott & Sons Hardware, which marks 100 years this year. The store is currently being run by the third generation of Scotts, Jeff and Paul. It was founded in 1917 by Lorne Scott and was managed for many years by his sons Murray and Earl. For Paul, his earliest memory of the store is a sweet one from when he was a wee boy of four or five. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember coming here as a kid and running back to the safe, because my grandfather had Jersey Milk chocolate bars,â&#x20AC;? he said of the safe they still have. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He would go in and pull out the Jersey Milk chocolate bar and we would be happy.â&#x20AC;? Jeff remembers having his bike fixed and his first job.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started when I was 12 years old working after school and on weekends stocking shelves, sweeping and everything, in this building here.â&#x20AC;? However, the current location where Jeff started, is not the first store. Lorne came from Blackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corners, near Carleton Place, and worked at a store called French and Company Art Ware. He decided he wanted to open his own store and he borrowed some money to open in 1917 at 112 Raglan St. He then bought a second store, Guest Hardware Tinsmithing, and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t event tell his wife at time he was running both. He wanted a bigger location and was ahead of his time, as he stood on the street and conducted a survey to see how far people would walk down it and where they would stop. He then bought the Ottawa House Hotel and ran it for a few years before he tore it down and built the current store at 150 Raglan St., which opened in the 1940s. After they reached their 75th and

80th anniversaries, it was important for Jeff to carry on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really wanted to make it to 100 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that was my goal, to see 100 and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done it. For my grandfather, my parents, my uncle,â&#x20AC;? said Jeff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of businesses donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last 100 years, and if they do they have been sold three or four times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But to be the same family-run store for 100 years from what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been told is good, that was my goal to see 100.â&#x20AC;? He has now achieved that remarkable milestone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done it,â&#x20AC;? Jeff said with a chuckle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now I have to look for another goal.â&#x20AC;? There are a number of things that have contributed to being open for 100 years, including their ability to adapt from the products they sell to the way they do business. When Jeff started, all of the orders were written down on order sheets and mailed out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On that Dictaphone, a lot of orders were taken and were placed by

excellent at dealing with people and well-educated and qualified to talk about their departments.â&#x20AC;? For Paul his favourite memory is the staff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people that worked here, we had quite the characters who worked here over the years with a family atmosphere,â&#x20AC;? said Paul. They couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have lasted this long without another key group of people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The customers, they started to become more like family, because we would see them every day or every week,â&#x20AC;? said Jeff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess it became more like a big family for us. I want to thank all of our customers.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you for all the customers who dealt with us,â&#x20AC;? added Paul. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope the support will keep on coming.â&#x20AC;? Another credit to their longevity, a coconut face that hangs behind an office desk. Jeff says he has been up there as long as he can remember, probably since the early 1940s. See INDUSTRY, page 44

my grandfather. He would dictate an order and the secretary would take it off and write it up on letterhead paper,â&#x20AC;? said Jeff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nice, proper English style letterhead that matched the English style on the front of the store. It was typed up, written and signed and be mailed it.â&#x20AC;? Now everything is done by fax/ phone/computer.

Although what they have sold over the years has changed theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve adapted with the times. They used to sell wood, cement, roofing materials, bikes, skates, hockey equipment, skis, china and more. With everything they sold they had staff to back things up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another reason we are here 100 years,â&#x20AC;? said Jeff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I put it down to the quality of staff we had.

Dance classes are being offered in Renfrew and Arnprior.

It’s never too late to dance People often say, “I already know how to dance!” But do you really? Is your partner getting a little bored with your good old side-to-side bop, the Twist or the Macarena? Can you lead her into a nice turn? Can you follow his lead? Learn a new pattern or two, and surprise each other! With world events stressing us all, what better way to shrug it off than tripping the light fantastic…mastering a nice dance pattern to one of the latest rock or country hits releases endorphins. That’s an addictively great feeling! It’s also been scientifically proven dance improves your memory, your physique and your coordination as you simultaneously manage direction, speed, momentum, and rhythm while leading or following another. Some enjoy line dancing more because you’re in charge of all that, dancing as you do solo. Dancing as a couple presents more challenges but also affords a lovely intimacy, and shared enjoyment. With the summer drawing to a close and nights getting cooler, don’t let your fun times stop. Dust off your dancing shoes or cowboy boots, go to a dance, join a dance class. You won’t be sorry you did!

A fanatic for dance, I was possibly influenced early in life by a friend of my mother’s, a tiny woman with sexy shoes and beautiful full-skirted dresses who took lessons and danced at an Arthur Murray dance studio in Toronto. Then too, what little girl didn’t fantasize back in the day of wearing a pink tutu, pink ballet slippers and dancing on tippy toe? Fast forward several years and many, many lessons, my husband and I now have an extensive repertoire of dance patterns which we love to share with others, be it simply doing “our thing” on the dance floor or teaching. Today, people might be tempted to get dancing again after watching such dance-themed television shows as So You Think You Can Dance, Dancing with the Stars or the latest World of Dance. But you needn’t be a pro, a child prodigy or a second-rate star to step out confidently on the dance floor. You just need to want to. With so much musical talent in the Valley, it’s a shame we don’t support them better by dancing as much as possible to their irresistible beats. Take the song “Wagon Wheel,” a popular song that is often a standard in the sets of many of our local bands. * The author and her partner teach Instead of sitting in your seat or doing your high school hoochie coochie, couples dance at the recreation centres why not learn a new pattern to swing in Arnprior (613-623-7301) and Renfrew (613-432-3131). along with that tune?

Arnprior’s 10th Wellness and Craft Show Sept. 16

Ann McGregor and Deb McGregor of McGregor’s Produce, Judy Cobus and Helen McGregor of Hospice Renfrew, and Mandy McGregor of McGregor’s Produce. A recent Farm to Table dinner raised $2,190 for hospice.

KOULA COVE

Farm to Table benefits hospice On Sunday Aug. 27, McGregor’s Produce hosted its first Farm to Table Dinner at McGregor’s Produce. “We partnered with Jesse from the Backyard Gourmet BBQ, Cartwright Springs Brewery and Kin Vineyards to bring our guests a dinner experience right beside the cornfield, complete with a short farm tour,” said Ann McGregor. “ All ingredients for the delicious meal came from our farm or were

purchased locally - all meat came from Uncle Jim’s Meat Market in Pembroke. Thompson Septic generously donated facilities for the event.” A limited number of tickets were sold with all of the proceeds going to support Hospice Renfrew. An additional donation from Cartwright Springs beer sales and a few other local donations brought the total to $2,190.

For the past 10 years, Healing in the Valley has been organizing wellness and craft shows to help smaller businesses get exposure sharing what they are passionate about. At the same time, we have been supporting local food banks at our events because we feel it is a vital community service, where the need continues to grow on a daily basis. These are tough times that many find themselves in and as a community, we need to help each other in any way we can. Healing in the Valley is thrilled to be back for our event on Saturday, Sept. 16 at the Nick Smith Centre. The

event will run from 10 a.m.–4 p.m. in the Community Hall. We are asking visitors and vendors to please consider bringing a couple of non-perishable items for donation. We will have a silent auction running all day (closing at 3 p.m.) and all proceeds from it will be donated to the Arnprior and District Food Bank! We have an amazing variety of vendors this year – over 30 vendors with about half of them being new to our event. We are excited to be sharing this day with you. As visitors to the event, you’ll be in for a treat with vendors showcasing fashion, household décor, soaps and bath products, health and wellness products and services, mind and body

services, candles, jewellery, herbalism, kitchen essentials, delicious food creations, photos to spruce up your home and so much more! We invite you to get out of the house and have some fun for the day – while helping to support a vital community service at the same time. It’s the perfect opportunity to find that unique gift for that special someone in your life, start your Christmas shopping – or to simply pamper yourself, just because you work hard and deserve it! Grab a few friends and come by, we look forward to seeing you there. For more information, please feel free to contact Koula Cove at koula@healinginthevalley.ca .

Even burnt toast wasn’t wasted in the Depression years MARY COOK

Mary’s Memories

Father was happy. It had been a good season, unlike most other years, and he was sure he was going to get a second cutting of hay. That meant the mow would be full, and he could be sure of lots of hay to see us through the winter. But it also meant he would be working alone, as my three brothers would all be back to school. Of course, there were still Saturdays, but during the week, Father would be out cutting hay, raking and stooking on his own, leaving the house long before any of us were awake. But the brothers were expected to do all the morning chores before they went off to school, that is, except for the milking, which was a chore my sister Audrey and my mother had to take over. All of this meant of course, that our whole routine changed in the mornings, all because Father was getting a second cut of hay. And it

didn’t mean, that even though I was so much younger, I’d get off scot free from the busy start to the day. School lunches had to be made the night before, but as soon as my feet hit the floor in the morning, I was expected to get breakfast on the table. Of course, it would have been set out before I went to bed. Father would be long gone, so I didn’t have to worry about frying a pan of potatoes and salt pork. But I did have to make the porridge, and make sure the bread was sliced and ready to be put on the toaster rack that would sit on top of the stove where I would have removed one of the lids, allowing the bread to brown over the hot coals. As soon as everyone came in from the barn, I had to fly into action. The brothers changed their clothes, Mother and Audrey washed up, and I put four slices of bread on the toaster rack, and started to ladle out the porridge. A pot of eggs would be simmering on the back of the Findlay Oval, and I had placed an egg cup

OPEN HOUSE GUIDE

in front of each place. Everything was in order. Well, it didn’t take long for Emerson to complain. The porridge was like glue, there wasn’t enough cream in the pitcher, and where was the brown sugar? I ran to the ice box and refilled the pitcher, grabbed the brown sugar bowl out of the cupboard, and told him he could either eat the porridge or give it to Sport our old Collie dog waiting outside the summer kitchen for any scraps from the breakfast table. Well, that’s when all hell broke loose. I could smell the burning toast before I saw it. I ran to the stove, and saw the bread, white as the driven snow on the outside, and burnt to a crisp on the inside. Emerson got into a fit of laughing, because the rule in our house was that whoever burnt the toast had to eat it, as Mother continually reminded us of the starving Armenians. Emerson just about fell of his chair, reminding me about the rule of burning the toast, laughing his head off! Mother grabbed the toast, took a knife, and scraped the burnt side furiously, slapped two pieces in front of Emerson, and told him to eat up or he’d be late for school. He knew better than to argue. Mother cracked an egg, dipped her burnt toast in the yolk, and spread jam on the other piece and ate up like eating burnt toast was an every day occurrence.

The smell of burnt toast hung in the kitchen as we gathered our book bags and headed out the door for school. Mother’s parting words were for Emerson. “Not one word about the burnt toast or you just might be having some for your supper tonight.” Audrey looked at Emerson with slit eyes, a warning that he better take heed, as she would be reporting back to Mother. When we got home from school, everything was in order. The smell of burnt toast was replaced with the aromas coming from the oven. Supper was ready, Father was washed up, but still showed signs of his long day in the hay field, with bits and pieces stuck in his hair. Not a word was said about the burnt toast, but when Mother’s back was turned, Emerson pretended he could smell it, turning his nose in the air, and sniffing, and then making the worst face, crossed his eyes, put a hand around his neck, and let his tongue hand out, as if he was going to choke to death. Mother, who we all said had eyes in the back of her head, walked to his chair, and cuffed him on the ear, a smack that could be heard in Douglas. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Bridge boldness is not rewarded MIKE NAGRODSKI

Sept. 6 saw 13-and-a-half tables of committed players show up at the Renfrew Bridge Club. As has been the case recently, valour seemed to run far ahead of caution, as all five slams that were attempted over the afternoon were unsuccessful. However, to be fair, Board 13, the scene of four of the mishaps, must have been something of a “temptation” Board. The cautious pairs who bid a simple three NT all made five and scored well. While the bolder souls who were tempted into bidding a slam, each fell short and received poor scores for their daring. Though the bidding on Board 17 must have been very predictable, as all pairs

613-432-8122 www.royallepageoneil.com

reached three NT contracts, Board 14 certainly could not be labeled the same way. It featured a wildly-swinging variety of contract attempts in all four suits, by all four chairs. Definitely not a boring, ho-hum board! Congratulations to the Sept. 6 winners: North – South: 1: Arthur Ham - Phyllis Brennan 2: Ruth Grant - Cari Forteath 3: Ernie Berndt - Eric Brown East – West: 1: Rick Duncan - Leanne Cheliak 2: Tom Sewter - Sharon Sewter 3: Ted Ambridge - David Sulpher

A ‘doggone’ good afternoon of music How would you like to spend an afternoon lounging in a lawn-chair enjoying some great Ottawa Valley music, while helping a local family in a time of need? Well, if this interests you then the ball diamond in White Lake is the place to be on Sunday, Sept. 17 as a number of area musicians are volunteering their time to raise some money to help a young girl and her best friend — her dog Charlie. Recently, Charlie had his leg badly broken when he ran into the spokes of a bicycle while going on a run with his owner. The vet bills are extremely high, but when faced with the alternative choice — one that makes all dog owners shudder at the thought — the family was determined to find a way to come up with the money to save Charlie. The community stepped up with donations for the initial vet visits and fees, but the surgery is expensive. So, when neighbour Jason Marshall heard from some musician friends who wanted to help, he quickly organized what is being called “A Doggone Good Afternoon of Music” at the White Lake Ball Park. He says it’s a dog-friendly event, so people are encouraged to bring their dogs (on leash) for the afternoon. Cost of admission is simply a donation, and there will be a dog groomer on hand to do nail trims for a donation, as well as a pet photographer to capture pictures of you and your pooch, also for a donation. “As a dog person, I know the heartbreak you feel when your pooch gets hurt. And I also know how expensive it can be. So, I’m simply doing what people of the Ottawa Valley have always done — helping a neighbour in need,” says Marshall. “So many people want to help, it’s overwhelming. I hope people come out and enjoy a fun day at the park.” The musical lineup includes The Kyle Felhaver Band, Dan Paul Rogers, Johnny Spinks & Friends, Vicki Brittle and Chris McNally, Bill Connelly, Bobby Schwartz, and Andy T. Williams. Marshall will MC the event, which runs from 1 to 5 p.m. For more, text or call Jason at 613-401-0518.

Helping you is what we do.
