TREMENDOUS SUPPORT FROM VOLUNTEERS, COMMUNITY Continued from page 1

support I am witnessing in the flood-impacted areas of the county. Volunteers, neighbours, paramedics, firefighters, elected officials, municipal staff and countless others are coming together, just like they did two years ago. I know that everyone impacted is extremely grateful to those

that are giving hours, and days of their time to fill and stack sandbags, check on neighbours, help evacuate the vulnerable, and those who are helping to get timely information out to residents," said Murphy.

"Thank you, each and every one of you. Your sense of community and selflessness is making a real difference during these trying

times."

Water levels, already higher than those that caused flooding in 2017 were expected to peak early to mid-week, after press time.

Volunteers turned out in droves, and businesses and individuals supported affected property owners and volunteers with food and refreshments.

Horton's Mayor Dave Bennett said the outpouring of support has been tremendous. "There's nothing but high praise for all the people who have been helping," he said, noting a group of about 100 people from both the Canadian Armed Forces and Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry have made a big difference.

It was expected volunteer help might fall off after the weekend but that was not the case.

"The volunteers have been tremendous - we've had lots of help at the sand dome and bagging stations," said the mayor.

Tuesday morning, Bennett said the situation had stabilized somewhat and there was an expectation waters would rise another 10 centimetres higher at its peak. Four homes had been voluntarily evacuated and hydro and propane had been disconnected from about 30 homes.

"Everything is pretty well looked after and safety issues have been addressed," he said.

He urged residents to remain cautious and contact authorities.

Greater Madawaska declared a state of emergency Sunday, based on information received from Ontario Power Generation (OPG) that indicated: Mountain Chute Dam water levels could increase one metre, which will affect all waterways above the Mountain Chute Dam; and Calabogie Lake and Barrett Chute Dam could also increase but not as significantly.

"They're holding water back so it's not flowing back to the Ottawa River," Greater Madawaska Mayor Brian Hunt said Monday. "All we can go with are the predictions OPG and MNR are giving us."

A number of people in Griffith were close to being affected, he said.

THE ISSUE: FLOODING ACROSS THE REGION THREATENS HOMES AND PROMPTS A STATE OF EMERGENCY IN RENFREW COUNTY THE IMPACT: RESIDENTS, VOLUNTEERS AND OFFICIALS ARE STRETCHED TO THEIR LIMITS AS WORK CONTINUES TO CONTROL THE FLOOD WATERS last week," said Hunt. "We visited 123 properties yesterday and we figure 39 of those are at risk if the water gets higher - we are monitoring those on a continuous basis. Our firefighters and public works and staff are doing everything they can."

Authorities, residents and volunteers in nearby Whitewater Region, McNab/Braeside and Arn-

prior have also been working endlessly on flood mitigation.

April 29, the province confirmed local residents will qualify for the disaster assistance program, which applies to a primary residence and its basic contents, or to a small business, farm or not-for-profit organization. It provides assistance for emergency expenses and the costs to repair or replace essential property following a natural disaster that are not covered by insurance. To find out if they are eligible for assistance, if they are in the activation area and for next steps, individuals, small businesses, farms and notfor-profit organizations should review the map and program guidelines available at ontario.ca/DisasterAssistance, or call 1-844780-8925 or email disasterassistance@ontario.ca after speaking with their private insurance provider.

Residents will have until Aug. 27, 2019 to apply for assistance through the program.

OPP RULE OUT FOUL PLAY IN FLOOD DEATH

FLOOD WATER VICTIM REMEMBERED AS POPULAR, FUN-LOVING DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com The Arnprior man found dead in a flood zone is being remembered as a popular person from a good family.

Russell Rouleau, 34, was last seen at about 1:30 a.m. on Saturday morning at John St. Pub. His body was recovered the following evening from the flood water at Riverview Road and McLean Drive. Police are investigating but have ruled out foul play. The family was not speaking to media on Monday morning.

Diane Swaine knows all too well what the Rouleaus are going through. Her son Chris Walsh and Rouleau grew up playing hockey together. She said Rouleau was quiet in those days, but a good friend to her son. Chris was hit and killed by a taxi during the early morning hours of April 2, 2016.

Swaine fought back tears while saying the two are reunited now.

"It's so sad. I don't know why

this happened," she said. "(Russell) was an amazing young man that had a very bright future ahead of him. And an amazing family. I'll be going over to visit (his mother) Judy at some point. It's just a tragedy all around."

Swaine said she last saw Rouleau playing pool with a group of friends at The Prior Sports Bar the previous Saturday. He was popular, fun-loving and, according to Facebook photos, enjoyed playing with his nieces and nephews.

She offered a few words of insight for Rouleau's mother on going through the loss of a child. Not only have both lost a son, both lost their sons' fathers a few years before.

"I know what she's going through. Just trying to realize it is true, and giving that time to sink in - that they'll never come back," Swaine said. "They'll need a lot of support right now. A lot of family and friends around. Smother them and stay with them. It's really heartbreaking."

DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

Facebook Russell Rouleau was discovered in a flooded section of Arnprior during the early evening of April 28.

She added that rumours will swirl; it is a small town; but residents should ignore the rumours.

"I learned that one, that's for sure."

Rouleau's employer, Safebore Inc. - he was a directional driller did not respond on Monday. After attending Arnprior District High School, Rouleau studied pharmacy at Niagara College in Welland, according to his Facebook page.

Pub owner Nick Xidous offered the following statement: "Russell was a good friend of ours, and we are all deeply saddened with the tragic news."

OPP ruled out foul play in the death of an Arnprior man whose body was recovered last weekend.

Russell Rouleau, 34, was reported missing to police on Sunday morning. He was last seen at John Street Pub at 1:30 a.m. on Saturday. A call to OPP Sunday evening, at about 8:15 p.m., revealed that his body was in a flooded section of Riverview Road and McLean Drive.

"No foul play is suspected," OPP Const. Tina Hunt said. "It has not been determined yet (why he was in that area of town.)

There will be a post mortem performed."

As of Monday, it was unknown if drowning was the cause of death.

Also known as an autopsy, the post mortem will take place in Ottawa. Dr. Louise McNaughton-Fi-

lion is the regional supervising coroner. She said her office is investigating the death to answer the questions of who, where, when, what was the cause, and what was the manner of death.

"Speaking in general terms, not about this case in particular, we do not blame or pass judgement," McNaughton-Filion said.

"The investigating coroner speaks to the family and no information will be made public by the coroner's office unless an inquest is held. Then the results will be made public."

Autopsies are placed on a priority list: suspected homicides, terror-related cases, and cases involving young children tend to occupy the top spots. Autopsies often include toxicology screenings, which can take up to two months. If other tests are called for, the results could take longer.

"The more complex the case, the longer it can take," she said.

The investigation is continuing. Anyone with information regarding this incident are asked to contact the Renfrew OPP at 1-888310-1122. Should you wish to remain anonymous, you may call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), where you may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000.

RENFREW COUNCIL PREPARES TO MAKE SECOND ICE PAD DECISION JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com After months of silence on the controversial Ma-TeWay expansion project, Renfrew council is on the verge of making a "huge decision" on whether it should go ahead this year.

The $11-million project that would see a second ice pad, gymnasium and other improvements added to the facility has been on hold since the tenders came in about $2.4 million over budget last July. The project prompted a great deal of discussion in the lead-up to last fall's municipal election with some residents suggesting the town couldn't afford it, while others wanted an indoor pool included in the proposal.

Recreation director Kevin Hill presented an update to council April 23 with a revised budget and plan that

includes significant retail lease space to help make up the shortfall. The new formula "was able to meet the goal of a zero per cent raise in new taxation," he said.

The new proposal met with a mixed reaction at council. Mayor Don Eady suggested council wait until the fall and seek a federalprovincial grant in the second intake of the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) focusing on community, culture and recreation projects.

However, councillors Tom Sidney, Arlene Jamieson and Mike Coulas were against delaying the project further, while Reeve Peter Emon was concerned waiting another six months might mean having to retender the project, to the detriment of the town's good relationship with the low bidder, Laurin General Contractors. "If they don't get it,

they could look to recoup their losses," he warned, asking for an updated legal opinion.

Coun.

Sandi Heins agreed more information about the proposal is needed for council to vote on the matter. "I don't even know what we're building for $8 million," she said.

Council agreed to hold a special committee-of-thewhole meeting May 14 at 5 p.m. to continue the discussion after the town's department heads review the proposal May 1.

Hill's report provided an update on council's instructions to staff last July 3 to continue to explore revenue-generation opportunities and cost-saving details with Laurin and N45 Architecture. Changes proposed by the two shared with the Expanded Ma-te-Way Activity Centre Ad-hoc Committee in August fell short of its

zero per cent taxation impact direction.

Staff then met with potential tenants expressing interest in signing longterm leases and new conceptual drawing were made to include some of them.

Because of the "considerable" changes, the town sought out and received assurance from legal counsel it was within its right to continue to negotiate with the low bidder and not reopen bids, Hill reported.

After a meeting between town and company officials Feb. 28, Laurin made more modifications and came back with a revised $11-million budget, complete with leased space, that met the zero per cent goal.

Calling it a "huge decision," Eady said he is confident the revised proposal would still be feasible and shovel-ready in the fall, so it was worth delaying to see if

the town could get a grant.

While there will be no new taxes going to the project, there is significant taxpayer "investment" included in the funding, he noted.

Pointing out there are still many unknowns about the grant, Sidney said waiting would push the project into another construction year and could saddle the town with higher interest rates and inflated costs.

"This is gone on long enough," he said, noting "three years of hard work" have gone into the project.

"This is way to progress," he said, explaining the expanded facility would attract more tournaments, festivals and conferences to town.

Sidney said Renfrew could still apply for a grant, perhaps for the museum, instead of hoping it would provide a "hail Mary" for the Ma-Te-Way project.

Jamieson said as the con-

tractor and architect "have done everything we've asked them to do," and with no guarantees of a grant, the project should go ahead. A delay could affect initiatives such as the proposed new hotel and two hockey teams waiting to use the ice pad, so the town should green light the project before changing circumstances force it to "start all over," she said.

Coulas also disagreed with waiting in the hope the town receives a "phantom grant" for the project.

The original goal was to open the NHL-size second ice surface this summer where the outdoor rink once sat.

The project is also to include a six-foot-wide walking track, gymnasium, fitness centre, sports museum, three multi-purpose rooms, administrative offices, and new changes rooms and washrooms.

FINAL HURRAH PLANNED FOR RCI RELAY FOR LIFE CANCER-FIGHTING EVENT TO WRAP UP AFTER HITTING $1-MILLION MARK JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com With Renfrew Collegiate Institute's incredibly successful Relay for Life in support of the Canadian Cancer Society about to reach the $1-million mark in donations this year, organizers feel that the event has run its course.

"Sadly this will be our last year for the Carnival (Bonnie Kerr Memorial Cure for Cancer Carnival) and Relay for Life," said the school in a letter to Renfrew council. "Our goal was to always help out the local community in dealing with cancer and over the last 13 years we have accomplished that goal."

And that they have: RCI students, staff and supporters, with generous backing from the community, have raised $985,000 for the cause. It's reputed to be the most that any school has raised since Relay for Life events began almost 20 years ago.

In the letter to council from Relay for Life chair Grace Reid, staff adviser Michael Wright and RCI principal Terry Hughes, they

Sherry Haaima/Metroland Luke Hanson, Jackson Scheuneman and Leif Buxton greet attendees at the RCI Relay for Life kick-off breakfast. Leading up to the May 31 Relay, students will hosting a community awareness day with a car wash at Low Square May 4 and the Bonnie Kerr Memorial Cure for Cancer Carnival at Ma-Te-Way May 10. expressed confidence that this year's Relay on May 31 will push the total contribution to the Canadian Cancer Society to $1 million, as well as raising $25,000 for the RCI resource room at Renfrew Victoria Hospital.

"It has been our great pleasure to run this event within the community for the past years," they wrote. "RCI will continue to raise funds for our community and help out wherever needed, but no plans have been made on

what organization will be our focus."

Council members remarked that it appears there will not be a Relay for Life in town in 2020 unless someone else steps up. "Sounds like volunteer fatigue," said Coun. Sandi Heins.

Coun. Tom Sidney noted that the town had played a "large role" in the event, providing the venues and staff assistance.

Noting that it is grateful for the town's support over the years, RCI asked for use of Low Square for the Relay's annual community awareness day on Saturday, May 4 - and Ma-Te-Way for the Bonnie Kerr Carnival May 10 and for the Relay itself May 31.

The community awareness day, held in conjunction with the Great Downtown Garage Sale, will include a car wash, bake sale and children's games on Railway Avenue (to be closed from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.), and Tag Days at various downtown locations.

Organizers said that the last Bonnie Kerr carnival at Ma-Te-Way will raise funds for the 'I Choose RVH' campaign. The final RCI Relay for Life will run from 1 to 10 p.m. Friday, May 31 on the Ma-Te-Way track and football field instead of the parking area.

Council, which was challenged to enter a team in the event, approved the requests for the use of town facilities.

JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com One of Renfrew's main historical attractions will be in the spotlight June 23 and everyone is invited.

Sue McSheffrey, Renfrew and District Historical and Museum president, visited Renfrew council at its April 23 meeting to promote the McDougall Mill Museum's 50th anniversary celebration. She also unveiled a specially minted 50th anniversary coin and presented the first one to Mayor Don Eady.

The commemorative coins are being sold to raise money for the museum.

Eady said that "every year the museum seems to get a bit better." With the current board, it's "jumping ahead," he said. "We're very proud of you."

McSheffrey said that it's a "small town museum with a big heart" because of all the community support; the town has been "incredibly helpful" in helping with its

The grist mill in O'Brien Park, now full of artifacts, was built in the mid-1850s by John McDougall and donated by the O'Brien and Murray families in 1969.

McSheffrey invited everyone to come to the museum between 2 and 4 p.m. on Sunday, June 23 (the second day of summer) to celebrate the 50th anniversary and the unveiling of "one of our largest artifacts," Renfrew's

The siren had been bought by a Toronto collector "who gave it back to us," she explained.

McSheffrey said that the siren has been restored thanks to "a lot of work" by several volunteers.

The June 23 festivities at the museum and in the park will be free and feature live music and activities for all ages.

Sunday markets on the sidewalks in downtown Renfrew are a go this summer as Renfrew council has given them a final blessing.

When Renfrew Business Improvement Association (BIA) vice chair Lorraine Vincent and treasurer Mel Blimkie updated council April 23 on market plans, they were reassured the tentative approval given in March still stands.

Blimkie explained the Sunday market will start in late May or early June and will be spread along the more spacious main street sidewalks, similar to the setup for the May 4 great garage sale. There will be no blocking of pedestrian or vehicle traffic.

Participants, mostly selling crafts and farm

goods, will set up in front of storefronts not open Sundays, such as insurance and lawyers offices, said Blimkie. If more room is needed, vendors can set up in the municipal parking lot behind Scotiabank, he explained, adding Railway Street won't be closed for the market as it is for the garage sale.

He said the market will help dispel the notion by some the downtown is closed Sundays, attract tourists and cottagers to town, and may even encourage some merchants to keep their stores open longer.

Mayor Don Eady called the market "a nice initiative ... something a bit different to bring people to main street." He noted people driving through on summer Sundays will see the activity and stop to see what's going on.

They were getting together to help neighbours dealing with 'historic' high water that had arrived for the second time in three years. So much for being a 50-year or 100-year flood.

One silver lining in having this happen twice so close together is with the 2017 floods being fresh in people's minds, they tended to be better prepared this time. And they'll be even better prepared next time, for surely there will be a next time and likely soon too. If that makes you despair, the community response to the flooding over the last couple of weeks should do the opposite. It was truly heartwarming to see people rally to the aid of those hardest hit, whether it was homeowners along the Ottawa River or those in the backwoods cut off by washouts and submerged roadways.

There were the odd whiners complaining about being inconvenienced because they had to detour around closed roads, but most of them were resoundingly and deservedly slapped down on social media.

Kudos to the public works crews, paramedics, firefighters and police who are going above and beyond their regular duties to ensure people are safe in the face of the deluge. Praise be to any good Samaritans with sore backs after filling and lugging sandbags to help fellow citizens protect their properties.

A special shout-out to students, such as those from Arnprior District and Opeongo high schools, who volunteered their time and strong backs to sandbag last week.

They certainly received a first-hand lesson in climate change, although it's not the younger generation that needs to be roused to the danger. They tend to know already.

Hopefully it was the lesson noted when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Premier Doug Ford toured the flooding front lines.

It was human nature to shrug off climate change when it was coming upon us so slowly, but now it's becoming too obvious to ignore.

North American politicians and climate change deniers need to pay more heed to our Aboriginal hosts when they warn that Mother Nature is lashing back at human mistreatment.

Let's pray the majority is listening and more and more political and religious leaders embrace that in the grand scheme the world has been given to man as a sacred trust that must be protected. No more of this arrogance that man has been put on earth to run roughshod over all other living things without having to worry about the consequences.

Just as people have rallied to help those facing the flood waters, so do we need to rally to protect Mother Nature before it's too late.

WHO WE ARE LETTERS & COMMENTARY ANATOMY OF A LIBERAL BUDGET To the editor: The following are comments regarding the recent (largely forgotten) 2019 Liberal budget: Because of the length of time the Liberals have been wallowing in the SNC-Lavalin scandal, appearing unable to give it closure, the 2019 Liberal budget has been pretty much forgotten by most Canadians.

In this budget the Liberals have reversed the old Robin Hood philosophy of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. Instead they are stealing from the poor and giving to the wealthy.

In order to table this budget the Liberals have added $20 billion to our national debt - $20,000,000,000!

We all get a few trinkets and our Indigenous people more meaningless promises. It appears to me that under the Liberal doctrine Canada's economy is largely operating on borrowed money. God help us if we get an increase in inflation

and subsequent increases.

One item of the budget ... grants for first-time home buyers, it is my understanding this is give or take $5,000, so on a $300,000 to $400K house that amount represents less than 2 per cent of the total value of the house. The Liberal gift is subject to interest. They have no plan in place in this budget to pay back anything for at least the next 20 years.

This means that this $20 billion, depending on interest pressure in the marketplace, has the potential to double in size. The young couple who thought they were getting a gift from the Liberals will be hit with more and more taxation in order to keep the Liberal bureaucracy afloat.

This budget will put a noose of taxation around the necks of honest, hardworking Canadians.

Canadians never gave this prime minister a mandate to be a world traveller.

Canadians thought this man would bring youth and vigour to Canada. Instead he is becoming more and more like an arrogant autocrat, who cares not a

hoot for the plight of Canadians.

I would suggest anyone who is seriously looking into this so-called grant to have a visit with an accountant and definitely their bank manager before proceeding with this Liberal so-called "gift."

NOT ALWAYS IS BEAUTY A WELCOME SIGHT MICHAEL RUNTZ ANALYZES SEVERAL SPECIES OF SWAN MICHAEL RUNTZ Column

Some birds cause us to gasp in admiration. Usually it is the male of a species whose brilliant plumage catches our eye. Eastern bluebirds, wood ducks, and northern cardinals are well-loved examples. We also admire birds for other reasons. The breathtaking speed of a diving peregrine falcon and the majestic stature of a bald eagle are inspirations to the eye.

The beauty of some birds arises from their form. Swans possess a graceful figure, one accen-

tuated by stunning purity of colour. Three species are found in Ontario, with tundra swans being native to this country and nesting in tundra ponds. Large concentrations gather in lakes Ontario and Erie during fall and spring migration, with many spending winter there.

Mute swans are native only to Europe and Asia.

Their immaculate plumage, long curved neck, bright orange bill with a large black knob at its base, and elaborate courtship and greeting rituals made them attractive adornments in urban parks and large estates. As a result, many were introduced to North America from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s.

Escapees began breeding in the wild and soon a feral population became established and quickly grew in size. Mute swans are now

Michael Runtz photo Mute Swans may not be the only non-native swans to currently reside in southern Ontario. common along the northeast coast of the U.S. and in Ontario along the shores of lakes Ontario and Erie.

There are two problems with mute swans. They are extremely aggressive birds that displace native species living in the marsh habitat they frequent. And being large birds, they eat a lot of

forming the basis for the argument they were native here. But doubt exists over that identification, and scant evidence exists that these swans were here historically. Some authors are convinced they were not, and that the "reintroduction" of trumpeter swans in the northeast is actually an introduction of a foreign species.

The arrival of trumpeter and mute swans in our area should not be cause for celebration; to our local wetlands they might just be bringing lethal beauty.

aquatic vegetation, and in some cases overgraze their habitat.

The third species is one that has generated much debate. Trumpeter swans the largest swan and heaviest bird in North America, weighing up to 12 kilograms - were taken to the bridge of extinction by a de-

mand for their skins and flight feathers in the early fur trade. By the 1900s, apart from populations in the far northwest, only 69 were thought to survive in the southern part of their range. Strict conservation practices and habitat protection were implemented, and relocation programs were initiated to bring them back. Trumpeter swans were released in Ontario, where their population is now growing rapidly. Like mute swans, they are aggressive birds that drive native species out of wetlands. There are concerns that these swans may further the declines of species already in trouble, such as black terns and least bitterns.

The real question is whether or not trumpeter swans are native to southeastern Ontario and other parts of the northeast.

Many years ago a bone found in an Ontario archeological dig was identified as that of a trumpeter swan,

NEWS

YAKABUSKI RECOGNIZES TRAPPERS' 'IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTION' TO ECONOMY, WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com Ontario's Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry John Yakabuski recently announced a $1.1 million investment to support the fur-trapping industry and trappers' efforts to reduce human-wildlife conflicts.

The money was presented to Ontario Fur Managers Federation to help it manage the ministry's education program and licence services for the province's trappers and trapping instructors. When it comes to managing the industry and dealing with licensing and education issues, the federation "does it extremely well," Yakabuski said.

In making the funding announcement at the Fur

Harvesters Auction in North Bay, Yakabuski, the MPP for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, stressed the "important contribution" fur trappers make to the province's economy and sustainable management of Ontario's wildlife.

Among those on hand at the auction were members of the Renfrew and District Fur Council, which holds regular meetings in Renfrew. One million furs from across North America come to North Bay every year to be graded and sold at auction.

"Trappers play a vital role in wildlife control in both rural and urban areas," said Yakabuski in a news release. "Our government's investment will help the industry prosper and support jobs that benefit

thousands of families across Ontario."

He said trapping is an effective wildlife management tool for regulating population numbers of furbearer species such as coyotes, beavers and raccoons.

Trappers also play an important role in reducing human-wildlife conflicts such as damage to property as a result of flooding caused by beavers, and loss of livestock from predation by wolves and coyotes, he explained.

"Trapping is culturally significant for many people across our province," said Yakabuski. "For 400 years, the industry has used a plentiful natural resource in a sustainable and responsible manner."

There are about 8,700 commercial trapping li-

cences sold annually in Ontario. The ministry provides administrative support to more than 100 independent trapping instructors who provide mandatory training to about 800 individuals each year.

Yakabuski said Ontario's trapping regulations are considered among the strictest and most humane and the province's trapper licensing and education requirements help to ensure compliance with international humane trapping standards.

In related news, Yakabuski attended a hunting, fishing and trapping roundtable in Kenora to gain input on how his ministry can improve customer service and "make life easier for hunters, anglers, and trappers."

He also said the government is committed to continue funding the Forest Access Roads program. "We recognize the important contributions these roads make, benefiting not only the industry, but also tourism operators, communities and emergency response," he said.

Minister of Transport Marc Garneau released a statement on April 27 concerning navigational restrictions prompted by the spring flooding. The order was issued to protect residents and help first responders to do their jobs.

The order restricts navigation by non-emergency vessels in the Ottawa River between Ottawa-Gatineau and the Carillon generating station, as well as on Lac des Deux-Montagnes, Rivière des Mille-

Îles and Rivière-des-Prairies.

Enforcement officers, including members of the RCMP and all provincial and municipal police, have been given authority to direct any vessel to stop or move out of the affected area. Noncompliance will result in a fine of up to $5,000.

Garneau also reminded residents not to fly drones in areas where first responder activities are taking place, and for vessels operating in nonrestricted areas to take extra care in navigating changing waters.

This order will remain in effect until it is amended or rescinded. Garneau said the government would not hesitate to take further action to ensure the safety of Canadians.

Share your special moments with your friends and our readers with an announcement in Social Notes.

(Retired Manager, The Beer Store) In the late evening of Thursday, April 18, 2019 in the ICU at the Queensway Carleton Hospital after a brief but sudden illness, Phil left this world with his devoted wife Gayle curled up beside him; his adoring daughter Paula’s cheek pressed up against his; his caring sonin-law Stephen Cherry and his loving grandson Chad, the light of his life, sitting at his bedside. The hockey match was playing in the background. The son of the late Frank Hayes & Eveline Daze and son-in-law of the late Jean Brandimore of Arnprior, Phil leaves behind his brother Brian (Gail), his loving sister Helen (late Lyle Ross) and Sandra Elliott along with his sisters and brothers-in-law Beryl and Bruce Campbell, Shirley and her husband (and Phil’s best friend) Johnnie Kelly, Heather Campbell (late Phil Brandimore). He will be missed by his many adoring nieces and nephews. Phil gave us everything that his body could give us in its final hours. He is finally free of the pain of the cluster headaches he endured for over 20 years and is breathing effortlessly. We know that his best pal “Honey” is curled up at his feet as he chats with those that have went before him. Thank you to Dr. Iyengar and the ICU Critical Care Team for their incredible medical expertise and compassion.

Phil’s final care has been entrusted to the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior where visitation was held on Sunday afternoon, April 28 from 2 to 5 p.m. and again on Monday, April 29 from 11 to 11:40 a.m. A Tribute to Phil took place in the Pilon Family Chapel at 12 o’clock.

PERSAUD, Dr. Bhisma Pitama

“Satnarine” It is with sadness the family announces the death, from an unexpected illness of Dr. B. P. Persaud (Sat), in Hospice Renfrew on Tuesday 23rd April. A proud graduate of the Royal College of Surgeons Ireland. He practiced in Banbridge Northern Ireland, and Guyana before settling in Arnprior where for 50 years he cared for many generations of patients from first breath to last. For 17 years he was Director of Bonnechere Manor in Renfrew.

Medicine was his life and priority. His ethics and kind commitment was inspirational to many. His relational with the nursing staff at the Arnprior Hospital was an excellent one.

Especially the OR staff for when he cooked delicious food for special occasions, on days he was assisting.

When away from his medicine he was found relaxing on the golf course working towards his eleventh hole in one. 10 holes in 1 was good but 11 would have been better. He was an avid reader and consummate artist. He enjoyed traveling to the Soviet Union and Scandinavia in the 70s, African Safaris, South American rain forest, as a member of Remote Area Medical Corp. to bring medicine to the indigenous people; Bali, Sepang and other parts of Asia. His family Danesh (Toronto), Devan and Mirko (Arnprior), Rohan and Etsuko, Ellie and George (Sydney Australia) Aran and Felicio, Sophie and Hannah (Seoul, South Korea) Thara and Graeme, Norah, Holly and Saoirse (Dublin Ireland). Must continue on their life’s journey without him.

We would like to express our deep-felt gratitude to Dr. Neilson, the nurses and volunteers at the Hospice for the compassionate care they gave to our loved one during the last days of his life. Dr. Persaud’s final care has been entrusted to the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior where visitation took place on Friday evening, April 26th from 7 to 9 p.m. and again on Saturday morning, April 27th from 9:45 to 10:45.

Aunt Lily said we ate like kings.

Uncle Dick, Aunt Lily and my young cousin Richard had come from Ottawa for a visit. Looking over the table, she shook her head.

I knew little about kings, but I was well aware of princesses. Elizabeth and Princess Margaret Rose’s glossy picture hung on the wall at the foot of my bed. It came from Scott’s Hardware on a big calendar. I doubted very much they ate fried pork or bread pudding!

I know Aunt Lily called our evening meal dinner, but on the farm, we ate breakfast in the morning, dinner at noon, supper at night, and lunch was what we had before we went to bed. And that day, we were about to sit down to dinner.

It was early spring — a Saturday. Aunt Lily would never come to the farm on Sunday and miss mass in Ottawa, so we were eating dinner so they could get home before dark. She looked over the table again, and once more shook her head.

“Kings. Just like kings” she said, sitting down in front of a steaming bowl of creamed potatoes, a platter of thick fried pork

chops, turnips, sauerkraut, sweet pickles, and a pile of homemade bread.

Over on the bake table, a bread pudding waited to be served later with freshly whipped cream. This was all ordinary food to me ... everyday mealtime, and I couldn’t imagine where Aunt Lily got the idea we were eating like kings!

Wasn’t this the Depression?

Weren’t we supposed to be poor?

Wasn’t it only rich people who ate like kings? Like the Stewarts or old Doctor Murphy in Renfrew. Why Aunt Lily thought we ate like kings was beyond me!

I decided then and there I would take a special heed of what we ate for the next day or so. Maybe we weren’t so poor after all. I couldn’t help noticing too that when the Schumans got in the car to head back to Ottawa, the back seat was full. There were two freshly plucked chickens, a bag of potatoes, two cabbages from the cellar, and a jar of sauerkraut. It was food I was pretty sure they didn’t need.

After all, didn’t they live in the city?

So, if we ate like kings, why didn’t we have money? It just didn’t add up to me.

Supper that night was made up of a big pan of sausages from the smoke house, potatoes, cabbage salad, the usual plate of bread and butter, and a bowl of raspberry preserves. Of course, I took special note of the lunch before bed. Father polished off the last of the raspberry preserves, three slices of toast, a couple cups of green tea, and a fresh muffin Mother had

made for the next day. Nothing special about any of that, I thought ... and certainly nothing there that would appeal to a king!

Breakfast never varied. A bowl of porridge with cream and brown sugar and toast and jam. For Father though, breakfast was fried potatoes, eggs, and a strip of salt pork, and of course cup after cup of green tea.

While we ate, Mother packed our school lunches, and I knew there would be a sandwich of cold beef, buttered muffins and molasses cookies. As hard as I tried, I just couldn’t picture Princess Elizabeth and Margaret Rose going off to school with the same lunch Mother packed in a brown paper bag for us.

Of course, bad Marguirite would have store-bought bread and butter for her sandwich, and an orange. Always she had an orange, and once she even brought a banana! The only fruit we ever had was when a relative brought something when on a visit, and once a year, at Christmas, we might get an orange in our stocking.

As I thought about what we put in our stomachs, I figured maybe we didn’t have money, but we never went to bed hungry. Just maybe Aunt Lily was right after all. Maybe we did eat like kings and didn’t even know it.

OPINION

SEARCH

Art is quite complicated. What is art? That was what a good friend, artist Basil Pessin, used to start a conversation. What is art? Is it the painter? The sculpture? The potter? It usually sparked an ongoing debate.

I believe art is in the eye of the beholder. The creative mind that delivers something that someone else can enjoy is art.

The Renfrew Art Guild - or RAG, as we call it - is very fortunate to have many artists. There are

many talents, many media, and all taking and giving something to one another.

Janet Springer: One of our diverse artists is Janet Springer. She has always followed a creative and artistic path in her daily life.

Whether it is painting, sketching, she continued to growing her artistic journey. She was introduced to fused glass, and her love for glass in all forms flourished. We are fortunate that as a member of RAG she will be sharing her talents with us at the next meeting. The skill of knowing how to cut glass without

cutting oneself is a challenge. We be shown some of her talents and will have a treasure to take home.

Come and join us. Everyone is welcome. We meet at Trinity-St. Andrew's United Church, 291 Plaunt St. S., Renfrew (please use the Quarry Avenue entrance) at 7 p.m. on May 14. Coffee is served.

Reminder that Art in the Park is coming up July 13. If you are interested in joining, please go to our website and register: renfrewartguild.com. For further information, contact Dan Jacques at 613433-9451.

18-YEAR-OLD FROM MCNAB/BRAESIDE CHARGED WITH ROAD RACING ON WHITE LAKE ROAD The Renfrew Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) investigated 254 calls for service between April 15 and April 21.

On April 21, an officer with the Renfrew OPP was conducting traffic enforcement on White Lake Road in Arnprior. As a result of a traffic stop Connor Shean, 18, of McNab/Braeside was issued a summons for race a motor vehicle, excessive speed. This charge has not been proven in court. He will appear in the Ontario Court of Justice in Renfrew on May 10.

Arnprior and Renfrew officers investigated 7 domestic disputes during the past week.. One male was charged with uttering threats, two counts of assault and two counts of mischief.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Your emotions can be overwhelming, Aries. This encourages you to share your softer side with others. Embrace this sense of openness and others will reciprocate.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 A coworker may need your assistance in the weeks to come. You are ready and willing to put in the extra effort to help this person with no strings attached.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Lately you have been a rock that others lean on, Libra. This is a good role for you, as you are compassionate but also fair. Just make sure you take care of yourself as well.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, many challenges have been coming your way, and you have handled them like a champion. Spend a little time pampering yourself as a reward.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Make the most of others’ cooperative spirits to get things done, Taurus. It is always good to advocate for yourself, but more effective when others are receptive.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Focus on the positive things this week, Leo. Forget about what could go wrong. With the right mindset, you can accomplish anything you want.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, just when you think you have everything figured out, a new challenge presents itself. Seek a second opinion to work it out if this nut proves tough to crack.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Focusing too much on one thing is not healthy, Gemini. It is better to diversify your thinking and surround yourself with as many ideas and perspectives as possible.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 You are always willing and able to help a friend out, Virgo. That will prove true once again this week when a loved one calls you up and needs a shoulder to cry on.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 A new idea could spark a big change in your life, Sagittarius. Are you ready for the adventure that is going to ensue? Look to others to join in the good times.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, when others test your patience, find a healthy way to blow off some steam. Enlist the help of a fun-loving friend to get away for a little bit.
