TOWN COUNCIL REJECTS OPG'S SIX-FOOT FENCE DEREK DUNN derek.dunn @metroland.com The tug of war continues over a proposed fence at the weir under Madawaska Bridge in Arnprior.

Citing safety reasons, Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is making changes to areas around its weir. Two booms will block boats from getting too close, though an opening will allow officials to reach the island to set up Canada Day fireworks and should emergency crews need access.

However, the sticking point is a proposed fence along both sides of river.

Months ago, OPG provided a photo of a black fence with spiked tops, similar to one at town hall. There was no mention that the fence was only four feet tall. OPG simply said it wanted a six-foot fence.

Council said no to the spikes and most wanted it reduced to four feet. The latest has OPG at the May 27 meeting insisting on six feet. Town staff provided a photo of a black fence with rounded tops installed by OPG in a tourist area of Niagara Falls. Operations manager John Steckly explained

that the installation was done prior to OPG's new standards, meaning sixfoot fences.

"OPG has acknowledged that the fence will be on town-owned lands," Steckly said. "And it knows it will need town approval. And OPG said it will take direction."

Mayor Walter Stack said four feet is ample height. He pointed to the upcoming bridge project the county will undertake; the fence over the river will be less than four feet.

"We market ourselves as the town of two rivers, and that area is the core of our tourist view when people come to town," Stack said. "That's the heart of our town and what we are selling to people. They need access."

Coun. Lynn Grinstead looked for middle ground, saying five feet would still protect children while offering an unimpeded

THE ISSUE: A PRIVATE COMPANY WANTS A TALL FENCE ON PUBLIC PROPERTY. BUT WITH INCREASED SAFETY COMES A BARRIER THAT COULD BLOCK TOURISM. LOCAL IMPACT: RESIDENTS AND VISITORS ALIKE HAVE ENJOYED AN UNIMPEDED VIEW OF THE MADAWASKA BRIDGE AREA FOR MANY YEARS. SHOULD A NEW FENCE GO UP, PEOPLE MAY FEEL SAFER BUT COULD BE LOOKING THROUGH BARS.

PUBLIC NOTICE BRIDGE REHABILITATION COUNTY ROAD 1 (MADAWASKA BOULEVARD) TOWN OF ARNPRIOR

Commencing mid June 2019, the County of Renfrew will begin construction activities at County Structure B258 (Madawaska River Bridge) on County Road 1 (Madawaska Boulevard) in the Town of Arnprior, approximately 0.1 km east of County Road 2 (Daniel Street).

The work is currently scheduled to begin on June 17, 2019, and will require two years to complete. Winter shutdown of the project is anticipated to be from mid November 2019 to mid April 2020.

Construction is anticipated to be completed mid December of 2020.

The bridge will be reduced to two lanes of traffic during construction, access to residences and businesses will be maintained. Please drive carefully and obey all construction signage.

view to adults.

Coun. Ted Strike said even residential swimming pools are less than six feet.

"We don't want to be looking between bars," he said.

Councillors Tom Burnette and Chris Toner, along with County Coun.

Dan Lynch each want four feet.

Steckly will take the decision back to OPG.

STORY BEHIND THE STORY:

For months now, OPG has lobbied Arnprior town council to agree to changes near the weir it built and owns. The issue goes back to last summer when a security officer contracted by OPG spotted dangerous activities on several occasions. That was when we picked up the story, publishing several pieces - including one with OPG's entire presentation to council - which has led to heightened interest and dialogue among readers.

OPIOID CRISIS EXPERTS CALL FOR WOMEN'S FACILITY DEREK DUNN derek.dunn @metroland.com A caregiver sits in the waiting room at emerg not knowing if her teenager will succumb to overdose.

The girl's drug dealer is wheeled past the caregiver at Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital. Would an opioid facility for women have prevented this moment from happening?

A toddler's father from Renfrew is slowly putting his life back together after his fiancée loses her life to addiction. Would an opioid facility for women have prevented that?

Citing two anecdotes is not evidence enough (aside from several people in those cases telling Metroland Media the drug scene

in the region is getting much worse. Stigma prevents them from speaking on record.) Even pointing to the recent news of five overdoses in Arnprior in a short period of time won't do it. Those calling for a women's version of MacKay Manor in Renfrew, a men's residence and treatment facility, point to an opioid crisis that is claiming too many lives in too short a period to delay its construction.

Over the last few years the numbers have begun to pile since the introduction of powerful new opioids such as carfentanil, a few grains of which mixed into cocaine can kill. A federal government television commercial says 11 Canadians die each day of an opioid overdose.

A series of overdose recovery workshops are taking place in Arnprior, cohosted by Jacques Perron.

The 23-year nurse works at a supervised injection site in Ottawa. His point for the public to understand is that "the epidemic is now" and that turning a blind eye is no longer an option.

"We're not in the 1960s or 1980s with drugs anymore.

This is happening at all walks of life, just like alcoholism," Perron said. "Stigma and silence kills."

Dr. Jeff Turnbull pinpoints when the opioid crisis first swept over the country. He runs Ottawa Inner City Health, which sees 180 visitors per day; up to five overdoses.

Turnbull, who recently advised a senate committee on Parliament Hill on

THE QUESTION: RENFREW HAS A MEN'S ADDICTION TREATMENT CENTRE. THERE IS NO EQUIVALENT FOR WOMEN. DOES THE COUNTY NEED A WOMEN'S OPIOID FACILITY AS PART OF THE SOLUTION? THE CONCLUSION: FAMILIES TOUCHED BY THE OPIOID CRISIS IN ARNPRIOR AND RENFREW, ALONG WITH EXPERTS AND THOSE PROVIDING FRONTLINE TREATMENT ALL AGREE A FACILITY FOR WOMEN IS NEEDED. THE CRISIS IS HITTING SO HARD THAT TO HOLD OUT FOR MORE DATA IS ONLY PROLONGING THE HARM AT THE INDIVIDUAL USER LEVEL AND IN TERMS OF PUBLIC FINANCES AND RESOURCES. the issue, remembers the horror felt when crack emerged in the 1980s. The former chief of staff at The Ottawa remembers the following decades when dilaudid and oxycodone struck. None match the fentanyl crisis that hit in the summer of 2017.

"It was a wave that spilled over us, coming from the west," Turnbull said. "In August we had 35 overdoses. In September 70. We've been having three to five every day since then."

It is true he tends to see hardcore users, almost al-

ways self-medicating to numb past trauma. But the victims of overdose cross all demographics. The typical age, for instance, is not partying teenagers. It is men in their mid 30s, and not just those living in and around downtown shelters, Turnbull added. They are in wealthy suburbs and small towns.

"We can no longer say it is somebody else's issue.

Five overdoses in Arnprior is equivalent to 50 for us," Turnbull said. "Maybe this is something that will galvanize; something that will happen in a smaller com-

munity that we can learn from in a larger one."

Aside from the effects on individual lives, the opioid crisis is testing the fabric of society. Turnbull said untold tax dollars and resources are allocated to the front lines. Hospital beds and jail cells are far costlier than prevention measures such as education and mental health treatment. Addressing the problem because it will save tax dollars and free up services for ourselves is a strain in the fabric. We See – page 5

should be addressing the problem, he maintains, to prove we are a compassionate people who are not hardened to the plight of our neighbours. We should want for them to have protections afforded to us all.

"These people have a human right and are entitled to receive safe care, and they are being deprived."

He is in favour of a women's treatment facility in southern Renfrew county, if only because women's needs - as a result of sexual violence, as often the sole caregiver for their children - differ in many ways from men's.

"It is certainly needed, no question," Turnbull said. "But it depends on the treatment too. It should begin with harm reduction; abstinence should not be first. Abstinence should be the goal, but that's not possible when your whole life has revolved around drugs."

Even at schools such as Arnprior District High,

awareness is growing.

Principal Tom Havey said staff is trained and prepared to use a nasal spray that can inhibit an overdose. But he hasn't heard of one being used in any school in Canada.

"Day to day we don't think about it. Because it just doesn't happen," Havey said. "Once you do that, you are right out of it."

He added that counsellors are available, but that there is a code of silence among those who use illegal drugs. Andrew Keck agrees, saying silence makes it difficult to determine the severity of the crisis.

"It's really hard to gauge," said Keck, public health nurse at Renfrew County Public Health. "It's a population that doesn't want to be seen."

He points to the datacollection website Public Health Ontario. It is a provincial government interactive tool examining the opioid situation. Opioid-related mortality rates in the county remained steady at

about five for the last decade. Most of those can be attributed to legal prescription. But when it comes to the presence of fentanyl at death, in Ontario, the number jumps from 350 to 800 in 2016.

A campaign for a new women's addiction facility proposed for Deacon House in Pembroke is ongoing. A petition circulated last fall was well on its way to garnering 50,000 signatures.

The trend is a worsening crisis. When will the time arrive for a women's opioid facility?

STORY BEHIND THE STORY

An increase in local overdoses and contact from a number of area families dealing with drug-related issues led us to take a closer look at what’s going on and how the situation can be improved. Experts agree that a women’s treatment facility in Renfrew County would make a huge difference for those affected by the crisis.

DEREK DUNN derek.dunn @metroland.com It is highly unusual for the Town of Arnprior to comment on, let alone openly oppose a plan the provincial government is working on. It is not long into Premier Doug Ford's PC government mandate and it has happened.

At the latest regular meeting, a staff report recommended raising concerns with Queen's Park over proposed Bill 108. The report also recommended formally supporting another town's resolution to oppose the bill.

Town planner Robin Paquette said the bill dubbed More Homes, More Choice Act would change 13 acts having to do with planning, develop-

File/Torstar Arnprior Mayor Walter Stack says the province is moving too quickly when it comes to Bill 108. ment, environment, and even education and heritage. Numerous qualified consultants, municipal advisors and solicitors and others have raised

concerns about it being too much change too quickly.

"We are taking a huge step backward, good or bad," Paquette said, citing a return to the appeal process under the old Ontario Municipal Board process that proved a frustration on all sides. The report makes mention of "substantial changes" to the Development Charges Act and Planning Act, and a "completely new approach" to the Endangered Species Act and a new process for addressing Heritage Act designations.

The Town of Aurora opposes Bill 108, and so does Arnprior. The changes were due June 7.

"I agree with the request to delay," Mayor Walter Stack said. "Communities and municipalities are wrestling with these changes. We don't have the details. We are eight months in, and it's rolling out of Queen's Park faster than we can keep up."

HELP YOUTH SHAPE THE FUTURE We have some truly incredible young people in our community.

Youth, particularly those in small towns, often get a bad rap. With fewer recreational and social opportunities than is offered in larger centres, idle hands really can lead to, well, the devil's work.

Our own newspaper building in Renfrew was recently the subject of multiple acts of graffiti (and while it's not been proven youth are at fault, evidence indicates that's likely the case).

However, and on a daily basis, we are exposed to the amazing efforts and accomplishments of the many local youth who are shaping the future of our communities.

Arnprior District High School students are making headlines with the concert band's recent securing of an elusive gold medal at Musicfest Nationals, as well as a silver for the Red Velvet choir.

Renfrew Collegiate Institute just capped off an impressive run of Relay for Life events that resulted in a final tally of more than $1 million raised for the Canadian Cancer Society - their efforts set them at the top of the list of highest fundraising schools in the country.

St. Joseph's Catholic High School, which every two years chooses a local, as well as an international charity, to support, is wrapping up two years of amazing support for Hospice Renfrew.

Students from all schools organized and gathered for student-led walkouts earlier this year to protest provincial funding cuts to education. The powerful, peaceful protests demonstrated that not only do youth care about what's going on in the world around them, they're prepared to take action to make sure their voices are heard.

Each week, we hear about these impressive youth in our communities, and often we tell you their stories.

In 2018, the Renfrew County Youth Network (RCYN), a collaborative of 52 youth, community members, agencies and organizations with the vision to support all young people 12 to 25 years to become healthy and resilient, completed a Renfrew County Youth Needs Assessment Report.

Recommendations included: Create a movement which is rooted in shared values and shared goals with a diverse group of youth and other partners; build upon the strengths of the RCYN and its membership to work together on creating the youth strategy while members identify how/what they can share to help create the movement; continue to create space for youth to share ideas and experiences to influence a youth strategy while recruiting and engaging diverse youth; have fun!

Relationships will be developed, and some will be lifelong. Foster relationships between youth and relationships between youth and adults, where both benefit from each other greatly.

What we need to do, on every level (governments, communities, individually), particularly in our rural communities, is support our youth, guide them, give them the resources, tools and opportunities to ensure positive growth, learning and ultimately - success.

After all, they’re leading us into the future, and we’re excited to see what that will bring.

WHO WE ARE LETTERS & COMMENTARY WHATEVER HAPPENED TO PROMISES MADE, PROMISES KEPT? To the editor: Doug Ford is out to change the way this province does beer.

Unfortunately, we taxpayers will pay significantly for the breaking up of the Master Framework Agreement between the government and the brewers. The government is now officially in breach of contract, a situation that will likely result in significant damages being awarded to the Beer Store, at a minimum of $100 million but calculated by many to be in excess of $1 billion. Ford Nation calls criticism of this move fearmongering, but regardless of their view, it's other words that come to my mind - words like incompetence and abusive negligence.

The government says we needn't fear, because they're going to simply legislate those legal niceties away, despite the fact that the Master Framework clearly stipulates that the Crown is a legally binding

partner to the agreement and can't hide behind legislation in order to ride roughshod over it. In short, there are penalties, and rightly so; a deal, after all, is a deal.

The Beer Store has demonstrated good faith by operating in a manner consistent with the terms of the agreement, investing more than $100 million in store upgrades and improvements in customer experience. New hires and employee training have been implemented to bring the Beer Store completely into line with the deal, now and for the remainder of its term. If, on their part, the brewers were to renege on the agreement for any reason, they would face significant legal consequences.

But it seems if the government rips it up, they have the ability and willingness to change the rules of legal accountability midstream.

Hardly appropriate or fair.

Many will recall that the Master Agreement was the result of work by one Ed Clark, former chair of TD Bank, who worked for the Liberals as a $1/year consultant. It's now being

ripped up on the advice of Ken Hughes, whom the government hired at a cool $1000/day. Hughes is a former Conservative politician from Alberta.

Treasurer Vic Fedeli's assurances aside, jobs will be lost, penalties will be paid, public money will be squandered, beer will be more expensive, some Conservatives will be richer than before, and the rest of us will pay for it.

For me, the issue is less about beer than it is about integrity. For Ford, it's about petulance and vindictiveness toward the former Wynne government.

Legal contracts are promises made. Whatever happened to that whole "promises made/promises kept" thing? Or are those just words that look good on stickers?

Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is proposing to redevelop the existing Calabogie Generating Station (GS). This proposed undertaking will involve an Environmental Assessment (EA) under the Ontario Waterpower Association (OWA) Class EA for Waterpower Projects as a Project Associated with Existing Infrastructure. Constructed in 1917, the existing station has an installed capacity of 5 megawatts (MW) and is now at its end of life stage. OPG intends to redevelop the site and increase the station’s capacity to approximately 10 to 15 MW.

NOTICE OF RESCHEDULED SECOND AND LAST OPEN HOUSE FOR THE PROPOSED UNDERTAKING UNDER THE ONTARIO WATERPOWER ASSOCIATION CLASS EA FOR WATERPOWER PROJECTS: CALABOGIE GENERATING STATION REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT The Proposed Undertaking is on the Madawaska River within the village of Calabogie, in the Township of Greater Madawaska, Ontario, as detailed on the map below. OPG does not plan to alter the approved water levels and flows as described in the Madawaska River Water Management Plan (WMP). As such, the anticipated zone of impact for the project is limited to the immediate area around the station (see shaded/hatched area on the map). A minor amendment to the WMP is anticipated under the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act. This notice and public consultation process for the project under the Class EA is intended to coordinate and meet the notification requirements relevant to the planning stage of the project under both the Environmental Assessment Act and Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act statutes.

The Class EA process requires OPG to undertake an evaluation of the project to evaluate its potential effects to the environment (positive and negative) and prepare a detailed Environmental Report. The evaluation and resulting environmental report will assess the potential effects of the proposed waterpower project on the environment during both construction and operation.

OPG has identified certain environmental components that it expects to be the focus of the proposed project and will present findings about the proposed project, environmental effects and proposed mitigation and monitoring measures. Consultation with Indigenous communities and the public is an integral component of this process and allows interested parties to provide comments on the project. You are invited to provide comments on the issues to be addressed.

For information on the project proposal, to raise any issues or concerns, or to be placed on the project’s mailing list, please contact one of the individuals identified below. If the project proceeds as scheduled, construction could commence in 2020.

The second open house has been rescheduled as follows: Monday, June 17, 2019, 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Calabogie Community Hall, 574 Mill Street, Calabogie, Ontario, K0J 1H0 The open house will provide the public with more information about the Proposed Undertaking.

Anyone who attends will have the opportunity to speak directly with representatives from OPG and their environmental consulting team with regard to the OWA Class EA. OPG has retained Arcadis Canada Inc. to undertake the Class EA process. For more information, please contact: For more details, please visit calabogiegs.com.

Under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and the Environmental Assessment Act, unless otherwise stated in the submission, any personal information such as name, address, telephone number and property location included in a submission will become part of the public record files for this matter and will be released, if requested, to any person.

A petition together with a recommendation from Arnprior's operations manager convinced town council to approve parking spots in an unusual location.

Homeowners along Fairbrooke Court, just west of McDonald's, signed onto a proposal for six parking spots in the middle of its cul de sac. Town staff member John Steckly told council at the May 27 meeting that it is possible,

"More issues may come out of it, but they want it."

Chris Toner

long supported the proposal.

"I think it's a great idea," he said. "They would need to be clear: tickets will be issued (if laws are broken)."

Former fire chief Coun.

Tom Burnette asked that it be ensured the new ladder truck will be able to manoeuver should fire break out. Stack said snow will continue to be piled in the middle.

Coun. Chris Toner was asked about the 20 signatures and learned all but one on the court was in favour. That person was away and indicated they would have signed it.

"More issues may come out of it, but they want it," Toner said.

though the area will continue to be used in winter for snowpiles between Dec. 1 and March 31. And tickets would be issued for parking outside yellow lines or staying longer than 24 hours in any one stretch.

Coun. Ted Strike, who for many years was the town's public works director, recalls that within a year of Fairbrooke being constructed homeowners were asking to park in the centre.

"I'm fully supportive of doing this," Strike said, adding that some cars are parked there illegally anyway.

Coun. Lynn Grinstead agreed but asked about making the circle a oneway. It would avoid collisions caused by blindspots, she said. Steckly said enforcement would be a challenge, since most would simply take the shortest route out.

DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com It was a cool overcast Saturday, June 1, but that didn't stop residents and tourists alike from participating in Priorpalooza.

Held annually at Arnprior's Robert Simpson Park, the festival offers live music from morning to night, along with plenty of food options, vendors, and the giant splashpad for little ones.

This year's fun spilled over to Nick Smith Centre where a model train show proved a marvel to kids while bringing back fond memories to seniors.

Town hall staff were not ready to provide statistics on turnout prior to deadline.

Derek Dunn/Torstar Michelle Smith, left, and Ashley Smith-Stanish, get a hands-on lesson in punching holes through a belt by The Leathersmith Gregory Smith (no relation). He was among the many vendors at this year's Priorpalooza, the town-sponsored festival celebrating all things Arnprior.

MP WANTS MONEY TO TACKLE CLIMATE CRISIS SHE DENIES DEREK DUNN EXAMINES THE LOGIC IN GALLANT’S LATEST COLUMN DEREK DUNN Column

There have been many ebbs and flows to the discussion around the cause of this spring's unprecedented flooding along the Ottawa River. The latest is a strange twist that has Cheryl Gallant demanding tax dollars to fight the man-made climate crisis she has long denied is taking place.

The Conservative MP's Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke riding was hardest hit by the flooding that has seen infrastructure decimated and hundreds of homes evacuated. The damage this time is expected to be much costlier than the flooding of just two years ago.

However, despite calls from scientists and envi-

ronmental advocates over many years to move away from burning fossil fuels, Gallant has long dismissed the facts, obfuscated, or outright challenged the prospect of a climate crisis caused by human activity.

"Alarmist claims about 'man-made' global warming have cost the Ontario government tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs," she wrote in a June 2015 column. A July 15, 2009 tweet reads: "The global warming gig is up."

A column from two years ago is typical: "Canadians are being misinformed that radical environmental policies are necessary to save Canada and the world, with no explanation of cost or whether any of these policies are really necessary." She doesn't have the courage of her convictions to come out and say there is no climate

"A funded plan for adaptation for Canadians is reasonable."

Cheryl Gallant

File/Torstar Renfrew area MP Cheryl Gallant doesn't believe in the man-made climate crisis, but that won't stop her from asking for tax dollars to deal with the ramifications in her riding. crisis. Gallant prefers to burn everything surrounding that fact in the hope that it suffocates alone.

The only MP to vote against Canada's continued commitment to the Paris climate agreement, Gallant now sees an opportunity to get tax dollars for her riding. So her latest

column carefully navigates between maintaining the denial while asking for money. "(Prime Minister Justin Trudeau) has handed out billions in deficit dollars to respond to climate change in other countries. A funded plan for adaptation for Canadians is reasonable,"

Gallant wrote in this month's column. "If it is the position of the federal government that flooding problems are due to 'manmade global warming,' flood victims are asking, 'do we really want to go through this every year understanding that climate change issues won't soon be resolved?'"

So why ask for scarce tax dollars for the effects of what she believes is a fiction? Too bad. There is no time for reflection or consistency in Gallant's mind.

On to the next wild rhetorical flight.

She includes in her column what residents in her

riding have said, including those who understand the climate crisis is real.

"Too much snow, too much rain, too warm, too cold, climate change, dam mismanagement are being blamed," Gallant wrote.

"The group wants to start talking solutions, or 2020 will be worse than 2019."

She goes on to say the federal Liberal government's changes to the Navigable Waters Act will increase water flow and destroy more property. Her constituents would deserve compensation.

"If the federal government moves forward with its legislation now in parliament, where is the buyout program for affected properties? If the federal government plans on making flooding along the Ottawa River an annual event, compensation is required," Gallant said. Yes - the Liberals want to keep flooding this year's victims. This our very very serious MP.

GOULET FUNERAL HOME

Renfrew Mercury

(October 11, 1941-May 16, 2019) Survived by his beloved wife Vivienne (Kwissa), his brothers-in-law Donald Bedford (Christine) and Richard Kwissa (Joan); his nieces Tracy and Tobi Kwissa and their children Emily, Fletcher and Megan, Sophie and Alexander. Predeceased by his parents John and Bertha (Messenger) and his brother Raymond. Howard emigrated from England to Ottawa in September, 1967, just in time to celebrate his 26th birthday in October and enjoy Expo 67 in Montreal. His first year was lived apartment sharing with a friend who was spending Howard’s contributions to their living expenses behind his back and disappeared back to England when found out. As co-signer, Howard had to take on a large debt for which he wasn’t responsible. Luckily for me, he moved in with my family as a boarder “until he could get things sorted out” and we married two and a half years later in 1971. Our first year of married life was spent traveling to British Columbia and back to Ontario while Howard audited the General Tire stores in the western provinces. The New Westminster stay was particularly nice, lasting close to five months. We stayed at a hotel bachelor apartment directly across the street from the store. It was like having our first home and I could look from the 4th floor balcony to see Howard crossing the road. We traded in our first “baby”, a 1967 Pontiac Firebird that had barely got us through the Rocky Mountains from Edmonton, for a 1970 Pontiac GTO muscle car. I think that was always our favourite set of wheels and earned me my only speeding ticket! We bought our first house in the countryside in 1979 and Howard put his enjoyment of reading DIY books to good use in building decks, raised gardens, and creating lovely flower beds. His interests moved more to the indoors when home and work computers evolved. He had a natural skill working on the computer and helping others with work and home projects. Howard and I had always shared a mutual love of music and a large accomplishment on his part was to create the first extensive website on jazz pianist Thelonious Monk. He spent hours and months inputting information as a tribute to the great musician and received much recognition and appreciation for his efforts. It surprised me that eventually he couldn’t go on with the project. I thought it was because other sites on Monk were appearing on the Internet but now I think it was because he was slowly becoming ill. Howard retired from his work with the City of Ottawa, Social Services, in 2007. He described it as being his “last job and his best job”. I thought he would have many years ahead of him to enjoy a well-deserved retirement and that his need to start walking with a cane was just from age and fatigue. We went through several house moves in a short space of time trying to downsize and improve our finances. Howard was one of the brightest people I knew but was suddenly having difficulty keeping the car from drifting to the right when he drove, repeating things I had just said as though they were original thoughts, always saying “I’m just getting old”. It took two years to convince our family doctor that something was wrong. It took the neurologist just a matter of minutes to diagnose the problem as PSP, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. I think we just looked blank at the diagnosis having never heard of it before but I felt like I had been kicked in the stomach by the words, “I’m very sorry”. I knew then that this was something that couldn’t be fixed and our time remaining would be drastically different.

PSP is often misdiagnosed as Parkinson’s Disease. Sadly, there is no cure and as the name says, it’s progressive.

It’s main symptoms are loss of balance and falling backward, difficulty looking up and down, eye sensitivity to light, and weakening of the throat muscles leading to pneumonia. Howard battled the disease for eight years but eventually made the choice to let it run its course. His body wasted away and he had no strength left. He spent his last year living at the Hilltop Manor, Merrickville. The staff did their best to keep him as comfortable as possible in his final days and marvelled at how long he held on. I think it was a great unhappiness for both me and them when he let go. Our time together wasn’t always perfect, Papa, but one thing I told you often will always be true: You always were and always will be my very best friend. I will miss you every day. I hope your suffering is over and your spirit is with past family, friends, and the many lovely “critters” that shared our lives.

All my love, Vivienne In lieu of flowers donations in Memory of Howard may be made to the Cure PSP organization. Arrangements entrusted to the, Byers Funeral Home, South Mountain (613-989-3836).

PRAYERS

NOVENA TO St. Jude.

O Holy St. Jude, Apostle and martyr, near kinsman of Jesus Christ, faithful intercessor of all who invoke your special patronage in time of need, to you I have recourse from the bottom of my heart and humbly beg to whom God has given great power to come to my assistance.

Help me in my present and urgent petition.

In return, I promise to make your name known and cause you to be invoked. Say 3 Our Fathers, 3 Hail Mary’s and 3 Glorys.

Publication must be promised. St. Jude, pray for us all who invoke your aid.

Amen. This novena has never been known to fail. D.J.

Prayer to the Blessed Virgin, (never known to fail) Oh most beautiful flower of Mount Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of heaven. Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in necessity, Oh Star of the Sea. Help me and show me, here you are “my mother”.

Oh Holy Mary Mother of God, Queen of heaven and earth. I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to secure me in my necessity (make request). There are none who can withstand your power.

Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. Holy Mary, I place this prayer in your hands (three times) Say this prayer for three consecutive days and then you must publish it and it will be granted to you. Grateful Thanks D.J.

DANDELIONS BROUGHT A SMILE TO FATHER'S FACE BUMPER CROP MEANT PLENTY OF HOMEMADE WINE, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column

Father was in his glory: the dandelions were in full bloom, and as thick as thieves. They were even covering the west hill, which Father said never happened! That meant there would be a good batch for his dandelion wine, and not a day too soon.

Aunt Bertha and Uncle Alec had been over for a game of euchre in the past week, and the dregs of the last bottle brought up from the cellar had been polished off over the evening.

All the tubing, pails and pans had been scoured, and the bottles saved as each bottle was drained over the past year and had been boiled on the back of the Findlay Oval.

Everything was ready - except of course, for picking the dandelions. It was a job that we five children were facing, and not one of us relished it one bit!

Each plant had to be stripped of its leaves and put in a special basket, and the bright blossoms in another; Father was only interested in the blossoms. Mother would boil the leaves, toss them with butter and salt and pepper, and they would appear on our supper table in due course. The remaining stocks were left to die. It didn't matter how many dandelions we picked, there always seemed to be another batch appearing in a few days!

Since it was still crop planting time, and getting the fields into shape, Father of course could only work on his winemaking at night, and that was after the chores were done.

It always amazed me how, at any other time, he would collapse in a chair after supper with his feet on the oven door and the Ottawa Farm Journal in his lap, and fall asleep almost as soon as he sat down. Making his dandelion wine seemed to give him energy.

I had no idea how the process

went. I knew that the blossoms were boiled, strained, tubed and the juice bottled eventually, but the less I knew about the procedure, the better I liked it. And it had to do with bad Marguerite, the bane of my life at the Northcote School!

Her parents, she told me time and again, never had anything even remotely like wine or beer pass their lips. Her mother went into Renfrew regularly to go to the Women's Temperance Union.

I wasn't at all interested in what her mother did. What I was interested in, and in fact what kept me awake at night, was what Marguerite told me could happen to my father if he was ever caught making dandelion wine - he'd go straight to jail!

She rhymed off the names of several people I had never heard of, who were at that very moment locked up in Renfrew, serving a good long sentence for making their own wine and beer. She said she knew for a fact that very likely they would rot in jail and never again see the light of day, all because they made their own homebrew!

I could picture my poor father.

Probably, they wouldn't even let him change out of his work overalls and into a decent pair of pants before hauling him off. Who would do the chores and plant the crops and get enough wood cut to keep us warm over the winter?

I knew I had to go to my sister Audrey and tell her about my anguish over what could happen to our dear father. Audrey said that I wasn't to believe a word of what bad Marguerite said. And when I asked her how she could be so sure, she said because the last time Marguerite's father had been at our house to talk to Father about running in the last election and was looking for Father's vote, he sat at the very kitchen table we were sitting at; he had a cigar in one hand, and a full glass of dandelion wine in the other!

I gave Audrey a big hug, and when Father sent us back out to gather more dandelions, the job didn't seem to be so bad after all. If the wine gave my father a bit of pleasure, that was fine with me ... and a pox on bad Marguerite!

MONSTER TRUCKS, SUPERHEROES AND A BOY’S WISH DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@ metroland.com Terry Thomson's large property outside Arnprior was the perfect spot for a seven-year-old's birthday party on June 1, and a few extra surprises that went with it.

Thomson is well known for driving about town in his "Soul Collectors" monster hearse. A second monster truck was visible to big-machine lover Aiden James when he arrived that morning. The Soul Collector was situated behind a barn with dozens of friends and family members holding signs to wish him a happy birthday.

It got better.

Not only did the Kanata boy have many of his friends at the party, but he got to hang out with Spiderman, Captain America, Darth Vader with two Storm Troopers, and a country maiden. Aiden is something of a superhero himself, being born with no viable intestines. He can't absorb nutrients so is fed constantly with a pack, and yet he takes it all like a champ.

"You would never know he is sick," said Anika Philion, Aiden's mother. "He's a sweet kid. He's happy and jokey and kind; very kind."

Aiden's birthday had one more important surprise to reveal. Thomson

signed on with Make-AWish, the organization that grants wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions. Annie Stiles was at the party to

tell Aiden he and his family would leave for Orlando, Florida in two days. They were going to Walt Disney World.

Thomson appeared as

touched as all the adults on scene that morning. The owner of the Millridge Road property overlooking the Madawaska River hung around in the back-

ground but was all smiles when sharing his toys-forbig boys with the many kids.

At one point the moment overwhelmed little

Aiden. He ran into his mother's arms where she let him burrow before pointing out one detail and another until he took command of his surroundings.
