[" PM4001C367\tR8560 Pontiac Day becomes the apple of our pie, see page 3 Volume 126, Issue No.35 The voice of the Pontiac since 1X83 Wednesday, September 2, 2009 XX cents Call for waste transportation tenders forthcoming I CAROLE ST-AUBIN Equity Reporter PONTIAC \u2022 The Pontiac MRC will soon be seeking tenders for its newly revised plan for the hauling of its waste material to the Lachute landfill site.Following the Minister of Natural Resources\u2019June 25th decision to reject the Danford Lake landfill proposal, the deadline to find an alternative solution was officially dropped so long as the MRC demonstrated they were being pro-active in developing an appropriate solution for transporting Pontiac\u2019s waste, according to Pontiac Warden Mike McCrank.\u201cSince Danford was rejected [our] local officials have been meeting weekly with environment, technical people and politicians in order to form a cognitive plan that we could put forth,\u201d said McCrank.When tenders were previously sought a year ago, 11 of the 18 mayors voted to turn down the only tender submitted at the time by Clarendon entrepreneur Tom Orr.Orr proposed to build a waste transfer station for the Pontiac.He had developed his proposal as a possible solution to the ongoing waste management predicament when it was rejected.Orr has since received direct approval from the provincial government when he applied for a license to build and operate the transfer station, in hopes that he would get 80 per cent of the Pontiac\u2019s waste to make this a feasible venture for the entrepreneur.\u201cThe law requirements have since changed and a few different options are now available to us,\u201d said McCrank.\u201cThe government has gotten a bit more lenient, they added a bit of common sense into the equation rendering it overall a little easier to comply with these new requirements,\u201d said McCrank.Where provincial laws previously mandated that waste could not be held for more than 12 hours before it was taken to the Lachute site, there would no longer be a deadline as to the num- ber of hours the waste could sit in a sealed container before being transported.This is good news for the smaller municipalities with a lack of volume, according to McCrank, who added that the new plan will also work well with both the garbage pick up and drop off systems currently in use in Pontiac\u2019s municipalities.\u201cOnce the tenders have been received, we will have 30 days to analyze them to make sure they meet the new specifications before a resolution to accept a submission is accepted,\u201d according to Bryson Mayor A1 Davis.In the meantime the in-trench landfill sites will remain open.\u201cIt will be garbage as usual,\u201d said Clarendon Mayor Jack Lang.\u201cThe cost of transportation will still be huge, but the government remains unwavering in that regard, and they don\u2019t seem concerned about the carbon emissions that trucking all that waste to Lachute will cause,\u201d concluded McCrank.Submitted by Marc Racine A motorcycle crash on Hwy.148 in Bristol on Tuesday, Aug.25 resulted in the death of one local woman.\u2018Upbeat, high-spirited\u2019 mother remembered Rail line purchase at a stand still CINDY BLAIS Equity Reporter PORTAGE DU FORT \u2022 An information session for the commuter train was held at Sonia\u2019s Restaurant in Portage du Fort recently for the tourism industry.The SADC Pontiac and Community Futures from Renfrew County are working together to find a formula to save the Beachburg line.More than 600 responses to the commuter train survey has determined there is a demand for a train to run from Pembroke to Ottawa daily.Stations would be in place in Pembroke, Beachburg, Portage du Fort, Bristol and Fitzroy Harbour.Potential platforms could be set in Forrester Falls and Norway Bay.The organizing committee has determined a need in the region for a freight operation as some businesses have expressed that their position in the Pontiac is entirely dependent on the rail line, according to former Ottawa Central Railway manager James Allen.During the presentation the topic of a special events train was put forth by the committee in order to inform the tourism industry on possibilities of attracting people to the Pontiac region.A survey was started last week to determine interest for this project.The survey is not available to the public as the commuter train survey was.The survey results will not be made available until the end of October.The rail line could be pulled completely within the next five months.The line is being assessed by the Canadian Transportation Agency, which both CN and Transport Pontiac -Renfrew are in agreement with.The rail\u2019s value will be the net salvage value plus the land value.The commuter train would take approximately two hours and 15 minutes from the Pembroke station to Ottawa.\u201cThe Rail Day that was held was to create momentum,\u201d Louise Donaldson said.During the days when the OCR ran the Beachburg line 25 per cent of their business came from the Smurfit-Stone plant, which is now closed.\u201cThe freight service will have to be set up first but the other trains will follow once the rail line has been purchased,\u201d Allen said.During the meeting, other similar projects were brought to light to demonstrate that similar projects have become highly successful.\u201cWe just have to look at the train in Wakefield,\u201d Allan said.The train in Wakefield carried 55,000 visitors a year, which is vital to the economy of the Outaouais region.CINDY BLAIS Equity Reporter BRISTOL \u2022 A Shawville resident has succumbed to her injuries Aug.27 in the Hull hospital following a motorcycle accident on Aug.25.The single motor vehicle accident p happened Tuesday, Aug.25 at around 6 p.m just before the \u201cS\u201d curve off of Hwy.148 in Bristol heading eastbound towards Gatineau.The driver of the motorcycle was also sent to hospital where he is said to be recovering from his injuries, he\u2019s in stable condition according to Sûreté du Québec spokesperson Steve Lalande.Rachel Elaine

Old-Time Dance on Saturday.CINDY BLAIS Equity Reporter SHEENBORO \u2022 Saturday brought dancing shoes and fiddles out as the Sheenboro Pansh held its annual old-time dance at the parish hall.Swinging, switching partners and wooing are only a few parts of a square dance.Learning how to square dance is definitely something that not many people get to experience these days, but for many in Sheenboro it\u2019s a way of life.\u201cIt\u2019s a family outing that supports our local parish, we do it every year,\u201d said parish council member Karen Gleason.The dance was held to help raise funds for renovations to parish hall.Admittance to the dance was $10 per person and it included a late night luncheon made by the community members.\u201cEverything is made by people from the area with local foods,\u201d Gleason said.During the gathering I had the opportunity to learn how to square dance.The steps, the rhythm, the music and listening to the caller are just a few things to keep in mind.Someone with two left feet would really be stumped.There were also different types of dancing displayed like polka, the waltz and the two step.This event raised approximately $2,000 according to event organizers.More than 150 people attended the event as a show of support for the parish.Some of the supporters included Allumette Island Mayor Brian Adam and CTV anchorwoman Carol Anne Meehan.Please see DANCE on page three positive outlook on life.\u201cShe was always upbeat, high spirited and always looking forward to tomorrow,\" childhood friend Kelly Stewart said.McCagg leaves behind a ten-year-old daughter, Precious.\u201cShe was the best mother she could be,\u201d Stewart added.McCagg is also remembered for her long journey with ulcerative colitis, which is a disease that causes inflammation and sores, called ulcers, in the lining of the rectum and colon.McCagg tried to get a support group set up for Shawville.McCagg was also part of the United Ostomy Association of Canada, which is an organization dedicated to assist- ing all persons facing life with gastrointestinal or urinary diversions by providing emotional support, instructional and information services.She was a director for the association in 2004-2005.Before leaving her job due to illness she was a legal administrative assistant for Desnoyers Laroche, a notary and legal advisor in Gatineau.She will always be remembered by friends for her love of the arts.\u201cHer pictures were amazing, I think it was her passion to paint,\u201d Stewart said.McCagg\u2019s family along with friends paid their respects this week at the W.J.Hayes & Sons Funeral Home in Shawville.Mayor won\u2019t seek Liberal spot WILBUR MCLEAN Equity Editor PONTIAC \u2022 Municipality of Pontiac Mayor Eddie McCann has decided not to seek the Liberal nomination for the federal Pontiac riding.McCann informed The Equity of his decision last week citing a lack of time to prepare and a preference to seek re-election for his mayoral seat as reasons.\u201cThe timing wasn\u2019t great.I just didn\u2019t have time to put together a proper campaign,\u201d he said.McCann\u2019s decision comes just a few weeks after he stated he was \u201cstrongly considering\u201d entering the race for the Liberal nomination in Pontiac, which will be decided in a party meeting on Sunday, Sept.13 at an as-yet decided location.\u201cI\u2019m reluctant to give up my mayor\u2019s position in the municipality.I\u2019d like to continue being mayor,\u201d he said.McCann also noted that a federal election this fall \u2014 which would be the fourth in six years \u2014 no longer appears to be a sure thing as it had just a few weeks earlier.\u201cThere doesn\u2019t seem to be a lot of support for an election right now,\u201d said McCann.McCann\u2019s decision echoes that of Fort ' Coulonge\u2019s Bob Bertrand, who seemed to be leaning towards running but within a couple of weeks opted to stay out of the race.Bertrand was a three-term Member of Parliament for Pontiac from 1993 to 2004.A province-wide municipal election will take place on Nov.1.McCann won the mayor post in 2005, winning 50.2 per cent of the vote in defeating two other candidates.He also previously held the mayor\u2019s position from 1990 to 1994.With the nomination meeting less than two weeks away, the field is now set with three candidates hoping to be the Liberal who will attempt to knock off two-term MP Lawrence Cannon in the next federal election.Cindy Duncan-McMillan, 52, is a beef farmer from Farrelton, Que.She was the nominee in 2008 and improved the party\u2019s standing in the riding from a third place finish in 2006 to second place behind Cannon.Georges Lafontaine, 52, of Maniwaki, is a journalist, author and former political aide in Gatineau.Greg Fergus, 40, of Aylmer is a former national director of the Liberal Party who was also previously served as an adviser to a number of prominent cabinet ministers.Only people who signed on as party members before last week\u2019s deadline are eligible to vote.McCann said he is not publicly supporting any of the candidates.\u201cI will support whoever wins the nomination,\u201d he said.Wilbur McLean.THE EQUITY Pontiac Federal Liberal candidates Georges Lafontaine, left, and Greg Fergus appeared at the Pontiac Chamber of Commerce's meeting held

Birthday Mary Hodgins WILBUR MCLEAN Equity Editor QUYON \u2022 The Quyon Flyers managed to defeat the pesky Ottawa Blitz in the decisive game of their opening round senes and advance in the Greater Ottawa Fastball League playoffs.The Flyers needed a strong performance to win against the Blitz who, despite losing in the first round of the playoffs, proved themselves a vastly improved team from the past few seasons.Quyon won game three of the best-of-three series Thursday night at home, 3-1.Drew Hathway had a stellar pitching performance, striking out 17 hitters Matt Greer continued his powei hitting ways, connecting on a solo home run in the second inning The following inning Luke Young scored on an RBI single by Dennis McCleary The Flyers final run came on an error in the fifth

youth centre hosted its first bike ride through the Pontiac on Saturday.The youth centre hosted the event to try and promote healthy lifestyles.\u201cAugust is our physical activities month,\u201d youth counselor Peter Wood said.While the wet weather wasn\u2019t prime for the event, three participants hit the PPJ trail starting from Campbell\u2019s Bay and finishing at The Garage in Shawville for a total of 21.8 kilometres.\u201cIt was fun, it took us a little over two hours to complete the ride but we got hot chocolate on the way and we took a few breaks,\u201d Campbell\u2019s bay youth counselor Julie Brunelle said.This event was the youth centres first ride in conjunction with the PPJ trail committee but they are planning on doing it again next year.\u201cWe are planning to do it again next year around the same time since the cycling tends to slow down at this time of year,\u201d Wood added.The activity was Em open event offered to everyone in the community.\u201cWe were trying to reach everyone not only youth,\u201d Brunelle said.\u201cIt\u2019s too bad about the weather since it made people change their plans,\u201d The ride had more than 20 participants registered for the event but only three people ended up participating.\u201cIt\u2019s the weather that took away from the event,\u201d Wood said.All participants and organizers were invited to attend a barbecue after the event where hamburgers, hot dogs and corn on the cob were being served.The meal was prepared by the youth in attendance and some of the youth that did not participate in the event.The barbecue was supposed to start at 3 p.m.but since the event was delayed as it took longer to complete the course then expected the barbecue was postponed by an hour.The garage is open to youth ages 12 to 17.The youth centre also prepares different activities during the year like shopping trips and movie days.This year the youth centre participated in an exchange with a New Brunswick youth centre, where several youth visited the east coast for seven days in order to see how their youth centre functioned.OVERTIME I LUKE MURPHY Community support for Junior \u2018B\u2019s lacking ;\tVi 4I< 36

Pontiac Health Centre in Shawville where they were treated for minor injuries and subsequently released.The cause of the collision was not known.OVERTIME I LUKE MURPHY Athletes are only human 1 realize that at times with this\tcol- umn, I\u2019m a little over dramatic.I pick a lot on professional athletes.I seem to always point out their flaws, their weaknesses, and often I talk about the athletes who are a stain on their leagues.But rarely do I acknowledge the good role models.There are some out there.People call me a pessimist, but I see it as telling it like it is, at least through my eyes I\u2019ve never been one to hold my tongue, and at times that has gotten me into more trouble than it\u2019s gotten me out.As much as I write about the professional athletes\u2019 over-inflated egos, their selfish behavior, and unwise decisions, what I want to get across to you today is that even though these men and women make a huge amount of money, are idolized throughout the world, and are given leniency compared to others, what it comes down to is, professional athletes are human beings just like you £md me.I know they\u2019re not totally like us, but they\u2019re humEin, and the same everyday things that affect us, affect them.They are not invincible, Eind must suffer heartache like the rest of us.Fame and fortune can\u2019t protect them from life\u2019s hardships.Take Jose Theodore for example.Theodore is a goal-tender for the Washington Capitals in the National Hockey League.He is a former MontreEil Canadien, a former NHL MVP, Eind makes a lot of money to play a game he loves.But for those of you who may not know, on Friday, Aug.14, Theodore\u2019s two-month old son died.The cause of death remains unknown.As much as I ridicule professional athletes, talk about how selfish and overpaid they are, and I think I have even picked on Theodore in the past when he wasn\u2019t playing up to standards, this news struck me hard.And why wouldn\u2019t any parent, any person be upset by this?It\u2019s a devastating event and I wouldn\u2019t wish it on my worst enemy.Theodore\u2019s sister-in-law made the announcement last Thursday during her show on a Montreal-area radio station.Véronique Cloutier, whose sister Stephanie is married to Theodore, did not give details.Theodore and Stephanie Cloutier also have a 3-year-old daughter, Romy.Romy was born with respiratory problems, but she has fought through them, and is doing fine.The Capitals issued a statement acknowledging the tragedy.\u201cWe are aware of the heartbreaking news,\u201d said General Manager George McPhee.\u201cAt this time we ask that everyone respects the privacy of Jose and his family.\u201d News like this makes you appreciate what you have, and understand that life is short, precious, and you should enjoy every minute of it.We\u2019ve all tEiken life for granted at one to time or another, and we should be thankful for our loved ones, Eind show them every day how much they mean to us.This is a busy world we live in, but sometimes we need to step back, and take the time to enjoy life.Spend time with your children, spouses, and loved ones.Live in the moment.Don\u2019t waste another minute.Because before you know it, your time will be up, and you\u2019ll look back and wonder where it went.That\u2019s my two cents.What do you think?Murphy is a former professional hockey player who now resides in Shawville.Contact him at news'athee-quity.ca Saturday\u2019s event had three separate runs that people could register to do but

was auctioned off at the SuperEx and the winning bidder was Cletus Ferrigan, right, of Campbell\u2019s Bay.WILBUR MCLEAN Equity Editor PONTIAC \u2022 Every grandchild boasts, \u201cMy grandma bakes the best pie\u201d.Well, now young Carley Mayhew of Wakefield has some proof.Mayhew\u2019s grandmother, Janet Graham of Norway Bay, won first prize at the Ottawa SuperEx\u2019s first annual apple pie baking contest on Thursday.Graham defeated 68 other apple-infested, crispy-crusted creations to win the $500 first prize.While she was not there to collect her prize, her husband, Doug, and granddaughter Mayhew were.\u201cI always knew,\u201d said Mayhew, a bright-eyed teen whose eyes lit up when her grandmother\u2019s name was announced.\u201cShe\u2019s a good cook in eveiything.\u201d Husband Graham said \u201cShe darn near fell through the floor\u201d when she was told by phone that she had won the competition.Five finalists were whittled down by five preliminary judges before CTV Ottawa\u2019s Max Keeping decided the champion as the final judge.The competition was also featured on CTV\u2019s local news that day.The Equity had a unique perspective on the contest as Editor Wilbur McLean was invited to be one of the five preliminary judges.Mayhew said she had an inkling that her grandmother had made the finals.\u201cI was looking at the [non-finalists] and the crusts because I know how she does it and it wasn\u2019t there,\u201d said Mayhew.The championship winning pie was baked the day before the competition.Remarkably, Graham was not the only Pontiac winner at the event as Joan Rusenstrom of Bristol also cashed in, collecting $100 for fifth prize.\u201cIt\u2019s pretty neat,\u201d said Rusenstrom.\u201cI just hoped there was some from Pontiac, but this is great.\u201d Rusenstrom baked her pie the morning of the competition and does not follow a recipe.\u201cI started baking it this way when I was a kid,\u201d she said.Both Janet Graham and Rusenstrom work at Bristol\u2019s Coronation Hall Cider Mill.Adding to the day\u2019s lore was the auction that followed the contest.Each of the five finalist pies were put on auction, with proceeds going towards the Homecraft division at the Ottawa SuperEx and The Kidney Foundation of Canada.Graham\u2019s first place pie won $200 in auction.The winning bidder?Cletus Ferrigan of Campbell\u2019s Bay.\u201cIt\u2019s pie and eggs for breakfast,\u201d laughed Ferrigan after paying for his pie.\u201cIt came from the Pontiac and it\u2019s going right back to the Pontiac.\u201d Ferrigan said he was willing to pay hundreds of dollars more for the pie, if it had gotten to that point.\u201cIt\u2019s some darned good pie and the money\u2019s going to a good cause,\u201d he said as he shook hands with Mayhew and Doug Graham.Rusenstrom\u2019s pie was auctioned for $100.The rules for the competition stated the pies had to be homemade, double-crusted and use apples from Ontario or Quebec.Following the competition, longtime Bristol mayor, the late Jack Graham, was honoured with the handing out of an award named after him.Graham was the longtime Agricultural Coordinator at the SuperEx.\u201cJack Graham was a fabulous part of the Central Canada Exhibition,\u201d said Lyn Presley, before handing out the award.\u201cWe miss Jack very much, especially today.\u201d The winner of

SuperEx.The apple of my pie Ashley Ferguson, for THE EQUITY ¦ mm anal e -v The Equity editor Wilbur McLean was one of the judges for the Ottawa SuperEx apple pie contest last Thursday.It was well over a month ago when Mick Armitage, Ottawa SuperEx agricultural coordinator and Shawville native, asked me to be a judge in the Ottawa Valley Apple Pie Baking Contest It was a question that required little thought.Who wouldn't want to spend an afternoon sampling apple pies?So of course I said yes and looked forward to the competition It was not until arriving and being told where my apron and judge's ribbon were that it occurred to me that I had no idea how to actually judge an apple pie.Did appearance matter?How important was crust as opposed to filling?And how on earth was I supposed to be able to tell whether the apples were from either Ontario or Quebec, as the rules outlined?Luckily one of my fellow judges was Meredith Brophy, president of the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies.She had previously judged many pie competitions and explained some of the finer points to the rest of her less experienced colleagues.Insider tips include judging filling and crust equally, flipping over each pie to ensure both crusts are baked properly and cleaning off the fork before switching between pies.It was surprising just how serious the event was.Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers stood alongside the tables during the tasting for security purposes, each judge had an assistant who cut a slice from each pie, replenished forks and plates and made sure we always had water.A number of entrants stood around the tables while the judges tasted the pies.Some entrants knew their entry number and were eyeing the proceedings closely so I quickly decided to try to avoid eye contact with anybody except my assistant and the delicious pies.It was a good strategy and worked, though one of my fellow judges was not so lucky.At one point she was accosted by an entrant who was angry that the box holding her apple pie had been closed, the death knell for any entry.I had been asked by a few people beforehand whether I thought I would have difficulty telling so many pies apart.It was a concern.The 69 pies entered were divided between five judges, meaning 14 pies each.One of mine was disqualified (it wasn't double crusted as the rules required) so I had to try 13.Each judge had to select one pie to be named as a finalist and one other pie to be awarded an honourable mention.Each one was quite different.Almost all of them were very good, though each had unique traits that made it so good.There was one pie that had such a good crust, tli^t it almost made up for a lacklustre filling.Not all pies were top notch, however.There was one where the bottom crust was not baked, making it soggy.Another had far too much cinnamon and had to be choked down.The rest, however, were excellent, though only one was so delicious that it made me want to run off with the rest of it, number 44.The filling was sweet, but not too sweet; The crust was thick and flaky; there was the perfect amount of cinnamon added.It was bliss.Upon first tasting, I thought I had a winner.After again trying the five other pies that I had listed as possible winners and again going back to number 44, I knew there was no doubt.Alas, final judge Max Keeping selected Janet Graham's pie ahead of the one I\u2019d selected as a finalist, making me especially curious to try hers.I can't even begin to imagine how good it must have been.The results were not known to me ahead of time.Up until CTV News Anchor Max Keeping tasted the five finalists and made his selections known, each of the entries were nothing more than a number.So I was quite proud when I heard the fifth place pie belonged to Joan Rusenstrom of Bristol.The section of the bleachers that had been taken over by Pontiacers exploded into cheers.But then the first place pie was announced as belonging toGraham of Bristol.Somehow, little Pontiac took two of the top five prizes including first overall, despite the number of entries from Ottawa and the rest of the Valley far outnumbering those from our area.It was a pretty proud moment.Though it\u2019s not quite as proud as I will be when I return in 2010 for my second year as judge of the Ottawa Valley Apple Pie Baking Contest.Pretty Please9 -Wilbur McLean Hife 102 reasons

array of country songs that everyone seemed to enjoy.\u201cWe call it the old-time dance because it brings the seniors out and it allows them to remember the old days,\u201d said Gleason.\u201cIt also allows the children to learn from their grandparents,\u201d The party started at 9 p.m.and lasted until 1 a.m.\u201cIt\u2019s a good way for the locals and the cottagers to get together one last time for a good time before the end of the summer,\u201d Gleason added.One piece of advice for anyone who wants to ledrn how to square dance.wear a good pair of shoes who actually slide on hardwood floors.\u2019 Wearing running shoes that gripped the floor as you tried to glide across it wasn\u2019t the best idea as it\u2019s like trying to glide on ice with baseball cleats.theF^itty TRanle you

late.My daughter\u2019s phone connection was struck by lightening putting her out of service for several days.Then I had problems, and then the Clyde\u2019s lost their line.When this happens near the end of the week you don\u2019t get service back until the following Monday.1 think it\u2019s time that Bell built some redundancy into their telephone network so these things don\u2019t happen to frequently.A lot of older people rely on their phone for emergency services and it\u2019s a shsime they have to suffer through this so often.I have been getting a lot of e-mails from people asking that I join them as a friend on Facebook.I have not responded because my dial-up internet connection is very slow.Some times it takes 15 or 20 minutes just to receive a picture.So if anyone is wondering why I don\u2019t sign on, that\u2019s the reason.I was so very sad to hear that Edward Kennedy passed away.It will be a, long time before we see the likes of him again.An Irish Blessing: May

boys and seven girls.He was denied the companionship of two brothers \u2014 Lynus at age 11 years and Joseph at just a few weeks old and his youngest sister Ann, (at 17 months) whom he barely had a chance to get to know.At a young age he ventured to Northern and Eastern Ontario, in search of work and to Western Canada to meet the challenges of burning adventures.In all his travels away from home, he was eventually drawn to the comfort of familiar faces and places back home.And that\u2019s where he settled down to the commitment of marriage and starting a family of his own.This was the driving force behind his advancement, in his work-force years.He was self-taught in many interests and abilities and he gainfully pursued the avenues necessary to allow him to support his growing family.His cherished family became the focal point of all his choices and decisions.He and his wife, Stella, raised four boys \u2014 Joseph, Michael, Paul, Thomas and one girl \u2014 Ann Marie, all of whom respected and loved him dearly.He defended his wife and family against all adversity.And as his children had spouses and families of their own, they, too, were drawn into this close circle of love and protection.The respect he had for his colleagues in his workplace was reciprocated in kind and he took great pride in the quality of his management and production and valued the time he spent on the job.He took great pride in his inherent worth as a committed employee and was thus motivated to \u201cgive an honest day\u2019s work for an honest day's pay.\u201d Upon retirement the loving circle that entwined family became even stronger.When he died suddenly on August 15, 2009 it was difficult to say goodbye because there was still so much about him that we wanted to get to know.But his passing became a time to reminisce about his life, remembering the little time we had to spend with him, because he was the oldest and was away from home at a young age.Was he the brother who could climb trees,in a flash?Did he lead us on our path to school when the snow was almost waist high?Was he the brother who raced his first vehicle on the ramp at the old railway station, only to have the town policeman turn a blind eye?Was he the brother who set out with Oliver Beauchamp and Leonard Belanger to explore the West in a 1930 Model \u201cA\u201d Ford?Was he the brother who had a guitar when he returned from the West and let us play it when he wasn\u2019t around?Were his pockets full of loose change and sticks of chewing gum for us to enjoy?Was he the brother who spoke French but yet we never heard him do so?Was he the brother who built his first four-wheeler from scratch?Was he the brother who carried the burden of tragedy and conflict to his grave?Was he the brother who seldom unloaded the emotional baggage of unresolved issues until his heart gave out, very suddenly?Did he know how much he was loved and admired by his sisters and brothers-in-laws, his nieces and nephews, his cousins?Did he know that God loved him unconditionally and was waiting to welcome him home?We hope this acrostic poem will serve as a small tribute in celebration of his life.\u201cR\u201d is for REPROACH against those who would defile the good name of his nearest and dearest \u201cI\u201d is for the INTENSITY of all his commitments.\u201cC\u201d is for his CARING.COMPASSIONATE attitude toward others.\u201cH\u201d is for his HEART bent on living a good and Godly life and for the HEARTFELT pride he took in carrying the SULLIVAN name.\u201cA\" is for the ARDOR and ADMIRATION he had for his wife and family.\u201cR\u201d is for the faith-filled RELATIONSHIP he had with God.\u201cD\u201d is for the term of endearment DICKIE, qiven him at a young age and for his DEATH, which came too soon.You\u2019ll be forever in our hearts and prayers.Goodbye good and loving brother, \u2018till we meet again.Doris, Betty, Lorraine, Kay, Margaret, Grace.(Cheryl) D E
