"We From REVISION Monday, August 20, 1979 Ottawa Journal Page 3 District Michel family steam power' in Petawawa By Bonnie Campbell, Journal Reporter PETAWAWA The Michel family name means steam in this part of Renfrew County. For the last nine years, they have helped organize the annual Petawawa Steam Show as a tribute to their late father, Albert, lie loved the steam engine and as a young man was the engineer on the Ouisa which travelled up and down the Ottawa River between Pembroke and Des Joachim. Bert Michel says his entire summer is devoted to organizing the show in which his family exhibits eight 20-horsepower steam engines. Like his father, he loves the rhythm, sound and smell of a steam engine which was crucial to local history.

On display over the weekend were exhibits of steam engines operating a threshing machine, a saw mill and shingle maker. "The sound of the engine brings out the excitement of the older people who associate the sound with their earlier life experiences," he said. Many of the engines on display at the show, such as John Goodison's, Waterloo's, Robert Bell's and Sawyer and Massey were used at local businesses. One engine operated the Arnold Roesler sawmill at Chalk River and another was used for threshing in the Westmcath area. The show is also a time for steam experts to get together to operate their machinery.

Jerry Schutt of Killaloe who operated a mill with a steam engine for 22 years said the engine is his favorite piece of machinery. "There is just nothing like it," he said. "There is a rhythm and smell to it just a real comforting sound compared to modern engines." Thousands of people toured the exhibits over the weekend. Many had only lived in the "ignition age" and they enjoyed watching engineers load wood and water into the engines to produce power. And the chook-a, chook-a, of the engine brought many back to a time in history almost forgotten.
