cents Norway Bay man strikes Olympic gold Cottage owner Adam Kreek wins men\u2019s eight rowing competition in Beijing WILBUR MCLEAN Equity Editor NORWAY BAY \u2022 Norway Bay cottage owner Adam Kreek struck gold at the Beijing Olympics with his men\u2019s eight with coxswain team Sunday.Kreek and his seven teammates won the gold medal in their Olympic event, living up to expectations by leading the 2,000 metre race from start to finish.Britain finished second and the U.S.third.The team were reigning world champions and favourites headed into the race.They had not lost in two years.Kreek, 27, and his wife, Rebecca Sterritt Kreek, own property in Norway Bay and were married there in 2005.In an interview with The Equity last fall after winning the men\u2019s eight world championship, Kreek said he enjoyed spending time in Norway Bay to relax.Sterritt Kreek\u2019s mother is Susan Dods, a Shawville native, and her grandparents are Don and Mayfred Dods of Shawville.Mayfred Dods said she spoke with Adam and Rebecca on the phone from Beijing Monday.\u201cThey\u2019re in glee, just going from party to party,\u201d she said.\u201cThey\u2019re having a world of fun over there.\u201d Kreek, originally from Lpndon, Ont., met his future wife in Geography 101 at the University of Victoria.In the men\u2019s eight with coxswain competition, eight rowers stroke rhythmically, building speed against other boats.Strength, timing and stamina are important for success.A coxswain is seated at the back of the boat, giving commands, coaching and steering his teammates.The Canadian team breezed through the semi-final, winning by seven seconds on Monday, Aug.11.The final took place at 5:30 a.m.Sunday morning local time, but Mayfred said she watched it live.\u201cWe thought it was just lovely,\u201d she said.Kreek had said last fall if his team won at the Olympics he would bring the medal to Pontiac and Dods confirmed he would be visiting sometime soon, likely with the hardware in tow.Kreek rowed for three years at prestigious Stanford University in the U.S., studying geotechnical engineering while there.Wilbur McLean.The Equity Norway Bay cottage owner Adam Kreek won the gold medal at the Beijing Olympics Sunday with his men\u2019s eight with coxswain team.He\u2019s pictured here showing the gold medal he won from last year\u2019s world rowing championships while visiting Pine Lodge in Bristol last fall.Attempted murder charges laid in Davidson stabbing CHRISTINA GRAY Equity Reporter DAVIDSON \u2022 A woman has been charged with attempted murder in connection with an incident last week in Davidson.According to Const.Mélanie barouche, spokesperson for the Sûreté du Québec, 33 year-old Nathalie Brigitte Lauriaùlt appeared in court last week and again on Aug.19 to face those charges.The charges stem from an incident where Lauriault\u2019s boyfriend was stabbed during a domestic dispute early on the morning of Aug.12.The man, whose name has not been released, was sent to hospital in Hull in critical condition.As of last week Larouche said he was still in hospital, but no longer fighting for his life.Lauriault also spent five days in hospital for a psychiatric analysis before appearing in Campbell\u2019s Bay court on Aug.19, said Larouche.Calumet barn ruined by flames Calumet Island firefighters battle a barn blaze Thursday morning.Mansfield man charged after collision Wilbur McLean, The Equity WILBUR MCLEAN Equity Editor CALUMET ISLAND \u2022 A barn on Calumet Island was destroyed by fire Thursday morning.Firefighters received a call about 9:30 a.m.that a barn at 18 Outaouais on the island was on fire.\u201cBy the time we got here the roof was already caved in, there wasn\u2019t anything we could do,\u201d said Calumet Island Fire Chief Michel LaSalle.\u201cWhen we got here everything was engulfed.\u201d Firefighters attended to the blaze into the early after- noon, ensuring the barn collapsed safely.Claude Bertrand and wife Jeannette Bertrand of Litchfield own the property where the barn stood, though they do not reside on the property.\t{ Jeannette said there was no electricity in the barn.\u201cThere was nothing in there that could have started the fire, there has never been any hydro.\u201d She said the only thing in the barn was hay, which had been its only purpose for 85 years.\u201cThe hay has never started a fire before so I can say that was not the reason for the fire.\u201d Fire Chief LaSalle suspected the fire was started with criminal intent and police were summoned to the scene.A house on the property has been unoccupied for years.About 12 firefighters were on the scene from the Calumet Island and Bryson fire departments.The two departments have a mutual aid agreement.Thursday\u2019s fire was the second in the last month on CEilumet Island.In mid-July the depart- ment fought a barn fire on Tancredia Road.\u201cIt was the same, thing there, the roof was already caved in by the time we got there,\u201d SEiid LaSalle.Two Fort Coulonge businesses ablaze Two business in Fort Coulonge caught on fire on Rue Principale early Sunday morning.Firefighters were called about midnight to a glass business and a hunting and fishing store that were on fire.Firefighters worked through the night to control the fire.PONTIAC \u2022 An 18-year-old Mansfield man has been charged in connection with the head-on collision that occurred on the Hwy.148 between Allumette Island and Morrison Island Monday, Aug.11.Gary Dubeau Jr.of Mansfield is facing three charges of dangerous driving causing bodily harm.Police said three people were injured in a collision at about 12:45 a.m.that day when the driver of a vehicle attempted to pass Emother vehicle illegally on the bridge, resulting in a head-on collision.Dubeau Jr.appeared in Campbell\u2019s Bay court briefly Wednesday, Aug.13.His next scheduled appearance is Oct.23.Two people suffered fractures and a third suffered minor injuries when the vehicles crashed.The two serious victims were transported to hospital in Ottawa.Both are expected to recover.Wilbur McLean.The Equity In celebration of The Equity\u2019s\t125th anniversary, a barbecue was held Friday during lunch to raise money for the Pontiac Community Hospital Foundation\u2019s dialysis fund.The only cost was a free will offering to the fund.Hundreds of people were served delicious hamburgers and hot dogs and more than $600 was raised for dialysis.Thanks to all who stopped by!

Artists\u2019 exhibition WILBUR MCLEAN Equity Editor PORTAGE DU FORT \u2022 The pièce de résistance of A Walk in the Garden, the latest exhibition at the stone school in Portage du Fort is a sculpture of the exhibition\u2019s artists.On the left is a clay version of Sylvia Bretzloff, the right is Carol Bretzloff Holmes and in the middle is their father, Gilbert Bretzloff, who died in 1986.\u201cSo many people think art is a waste of time but he always felt you were wasting your time if you weren't making art,\u201d explained Holmes on the impact her father had on her art career.\u201cWe don\u2019t place a lot of value on art in our society but he always bought us professional art supplies, even from a young age and he would paint with us.\u201d Holmes is the art teacher at Pontiac High School.A Walk in the Garden is \u201call about the visible and the invisible connecting in a garden\u201d, according to Holmes.What was visible were the more than 100 people who showed up to the exhibition\u2019s opening Friday evening at the stone school.\u201cMy daughter came up to me and asked, \u2018Did you invite everybody?\u2019,\u201d said Bretzloff.\u201cThe place was rocking.There was a real sense of community.\u201d The opening included an operatic performance from Holmes\u2019 son, Phil, which carried the theme of a day in nature.\u201cIt was beautiful and so appropriate,\u201d said Holmes.Besides the installation sculpture, the show features an exhibition of lithographs, drawings and other sculptures.The show features 43 pieces in all.A Walk in the Garden is open weekends from 12 to 4 p.m.until August 24.Wilbur McLean.The Equip Sylvia Bretzloff, left, and Carol Bretzloff Holmes stand beside the installation sculpture that depicts themselves along with their father, Gilbert Bretzloff.Wilbur McLean.The Equip The Thorne Fire Department held their annual firemen\u2019s ball at the Thorne Community Recreation Association Saturday night.Front row, from

friends who came to share time, stories, cards, gifts and lunch with me on the occasion of my 100th birthday.All was greatly appreciately and enjoyable.&1&UI SCOOH WILBUR MCLEAN Equity Editor LADYSMITH \u2022 By his own admission, it\u2019s been a pretty easy year for Mike Guitard\u2019s Thorne Fire Department.\u201cWe haven\u2019t had a fire all year,\u201d reported Guitard, fire chief, at the department\u2019s firefighter\u2019s ball Saturday night at the Thorne Community Recreation Association building.Guitard said there had been a call for a grass fire in the spring that turned out to be a false alarm, but besides that it was quite slow for his 13-person department.He credited the residents of Thorne for being fire safe.\u201cI think it\u2019s the people that are very conscious and do what they have to do to protect themselves,\u201d he said.\u201c1 can\u2019t remember the last time we had a fire.\u201d Despite the lull in activity, Guitard is keeping his department ready.Currently, four firefighters are completing their provin-cially-mandated fire training with firefighters from Otter Lake.The department also recently purchased a brand new $250,000 pumper and was given the money for a defibrillator by the Oktoberfest Ladysmith committee.The pumper is the department\u2019s first \u2014 they previously used a tanker with portable pumps for the same purpose \u2014 but the recently implemented provincial regulations mandated that all departments have a pumper.Unusual about the Thorne Fire Department is that their firefighters receive absolutely no money for their work.While most other fire departments in Pontiac are volunteer, their firefighters still earn a small stipend for work put in.\u201cWe\u2019re just a bunch of guys who want to fight fires,\u201d said Guitard.\u201c1 don\u2019t know of any others in Pontiac that receive nothing.\u201d Guitard even went so far as to say that his firefighters didn\u2019t want to receive compensation for the work.\u201cI think if they were asked the guys would turn it down,\u201d he said.\u201cThey do it because they want to do it.They\u2019re 100 per cent volunteers.\u201d Daggs from across Canada unite 11 rJi August 1, 2008 weekend the descendants of Lola (Horner) and Percy Dagg held their sixth reunion at the picturesque cottage of Evelyn and Ron Deavy at Reuckwald\tlake.The campers started arriving on Friday and by Sunday there were 96 people in attendance.They came from as far away as Vancouver, 100 Mile House, BC and Iqualuit, Nunavut.There were nieces and nephews from Smooth Rock Falls, Toronto, Niagara Falls, Cornwall, Ottawa, ON and the surrounding area such as Cobden, Bristol, and Shawville, etc.The oldest family member present was Gerald Dagg, age 83 from Pembroke and the youngest, his great-granddaughter, Charlotte Haskings from Newmarket, two and a half months.Over the next three days there was lots of visiting and sharing of family stories.Gerald recounted many of his childhood memories to the delight of younger ones.The scrapbooks put together by Evelyn and photo albums were enjoyed by all.The younger folk enjoyed the refreshing water of the lake and the balancing rope act that was provided and demonstrated by Brodie Drake (Ivan and Elizabeth Dagg\u2019s grandson).Some musical entertainment was provided by the grandchildren of Evelyn and Ron Deavy, Shannon (violin), Kaitlin and Kevin (guitar) and Jason on the drums.Peter and Cheryl, Mike and Leslie Deavy were responsible for the preparation of the grounds and the serving of the delicious meal that was served Sunday evening, compliments of Ron Deavy.The large Dagg family also joined in celebrating with Ivan\u2019s family in honour of his 80th birthday.Nieces Connie Drake and Wendy Taylor presented to Ron and Evelyn a handcrafted stool made by local artist Nora Schock for their hospitality and generosity.Monday morning came all too soon and it was time to pack up and return to the real world.The campers enjoyed coffee and muffins while saying their goodbyes to the relatives they had not seen since the last reunion in 2004.Three hundred dollars was collected and is being donated to the Maple Grove Cemetery in memory of loved ones.Submitted photo The Dagg family celebrated with a reunion recently.Happy 40th Mom and Dad Bob and Joan
