HOOPING IT UP Calista McIntyre of Renfrew shows her Hula Hoop skills and then some as she has four hoops going at one time in the Kidz Zone at Sunday’s gigantic garage sale and barbecue held at Most Precious Blood Parish in Calabogie.

ETM Industries Inc. has received a $50,000 grant through the National Research Council’s Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP).

This will enable the Renfrew company, which has nearly 100 employees, to more efficiently manufacture precision components in such fields as telecommunications, automotive, aerospace, mining, military and nuclear.

“The grant money will create efficiencies and lean initiatives, says general manager John Robertson.

“We’re trying to be as efficient with what we’ve got, bettering the processes with the equipment and head count we have, and eliminating waste where it’s not required.”

ETM Industries, which was founded in 1977, is home to an 80,000 square-feet facility on Hall Avenue.

“Our Conservative government is supporting these types of projects because they create skilled jobs right here in Canada,” said local MP Cheryl Gallant in a news release.

Such funding is a result of investment by the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario in NRC-IRAP. Gallant says the NRC’s objectives include linking its diverse networks, programs and infrastructure to businesses to help those businesses access, develop and exploit new technologies and knowledge essential for growth and prosperity.

New economy, new opportunities to be explored at Chamber event TAMMY LOGAN Renfrew and Area Chamber of Commerce

The New Economy, New Opportunities! showcase will be held Friday, Oct. 21 at the Renfrew Armouries.

The keynote speaker is Ian Portsmouth, editor and associate publisher of PROFIT, Canada’s best-read publication for entrepreneurial business.

In 2008, the Canadian Society of Magazine Editors named PROFIT the Magazine of the Year in the mid-circulation category.

Portsmouth is also the host of the BMO Business Coach podcast, a twice-monthly series that tackles the top opportunities and issues facing Canadian entrepreneurs.

Portsmouth will share Secrets of Success of Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies and how you can build a business in any industry and under any economic circumstance.

There will also be an interactive learning session with Rob Campbell.

With more than 20 years of professional business to business sales, entrepreneurship and direct marketing experience, Campbell has built a reputation for developing strong, lasting relationships with customers, colleagues, co-workers and

even competitors.

Convinced that to love sales is to understand people and their individual needs, Campbell set out early to prove that doing business can better everyone involved in the transaction. He has been sharing his relationship-oriented sales approach with his customers, peers and sales teams for years, and now he shares his wisdom with organizations like yours.

ENTREPRENEUR PANEL There will be an entrepreneurship panel discussion session of small business owners from Renfrew County. With our “theme” focusing on new opportunities in today’s economy. Each panel participant will be allocated three to five minutes to share: • an overview of their business – products/services, years in business, where they are located; • what strategies have they used in their business in order to be successful; and • keys to being a successful business in your community.

The panel will then be opened up to questions from participants, providing those in attendance with the opportunity to participate in a lively discussion.

Sharing experiences, ideas, concerns and

successes provide the entrepreneur with maximum take-home value often in the form of a unique solution.

The showcase will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Sharon Enright loved to say ‘The right attitude can move mountains” and indeed, her attitude moved many of those around her who are sadly now mourning the loss of the treasured mother and grandmother.

The Valley and the real estate community in particular are mourning the loss of a key figure and friend following the sudden death Aug. 25 of Sharon Enright, 61.

Enright was the broker of record at Royal Lepage Enright Real Estate Brokerage in Arnprior and had 30 years of real estate experience in the Valley.

She died Thursday of a brain aneurysm, surrounded by family and friends.

Hundreds of family members and friends, including her children Mark and Paula and their families, said goodbye at funeral services Tuesday morning in Arnprior.

Over the years, Enright moved up to become a premier realtor and became known for her bright smile, energy and love of life.

Born and raised in Renfrew, those remembering Enright say she was a kind and classy woman who was fun to be around.

Saturday, Sept. 17 program packed with activities, including Queen of the Furrow, tractor square dancing and the Kids Zone STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

For three decades, the Renfrew County Plowmen’s Association has been organizing the county’s annual plowing match and making a big deal of it.

The only year they didn’t was 1994, when they didn’t hold the county match. Instead, they helped organize the hugely successful International Plowing Match.

This year the annual event comes to the farm of Ron and Shirley Kasaboski, just opposite the Queensline United Church.

The entrance on Saturday, Sept. 17, will be via the Acres Road from Queensline Rd. (County Road 4), near Forester’s Falls.

“It’s important because it promotes the county, and it’s a recreational family day. It’s for everyone,” said Ron Kasaboski.

“That’s mainly why we got involved, to try to do something for the Valley ... because agriculture has gone downhill in the county.

“It used to be one of the biggest agricultural counties (in the province) ... It was noted for everything, cattle and crops ...”

Farming remains important in the county, just not to the same extent.

To keep farming in the forefront, organizers have a varied schedule that will feature more than 20 new vendors of ecofriendly products, Tupperware, crafts and more.

The 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. event will, of course, feature entertainment and food.

FOOD, FOOD, FOOD The major entertainer will be Ray Kohlsmith’s country mu-

sic band, while food will come from several vendors in addition to meals provided by 4-H members and the Queensline United Church women.

Proceeds from the plowing match will go the Forrrester’s Falls and Hayley Station fire departments, the Beachburg Fair and Cobden Fair.

Proceeds from meals prepared by the church will serve as a fundraiser for the parish. The women will be cooking hamburgers and hotdogs as well as a midday $10 meal of ham, scalloped potatoes, coleslaw and pie. The 4-H members will serve a breakfast of pancakes, sausages, eggs and toast.

QUEEN OF THE FURROW As always, there will be plowing matches in several categories, including elected officials, and a Queen of the Furrow contest.

Awards will be presented in classes of competition for horses, tractors and furrow plows.

Queen of the Furrow applicants are still invited to register by calling Donna Campbell at 613-432-5568. Applicants must be between 15 and 25.

Contestants will be judged throughout the day on the way they carry themselves, their attire, their plowing abilities, a two- to three-minute speech, plus an interview with the judges.

About 25 acres of the Kasaboski farm will be used for the plowing match.

The food court will feature the likes of Spanky Spuds and Sledz Smokin’ BBQ. There will also be tractor square dancing, a grain thrashing exhibition, a pioneer village,

9/11 tribute to New York firefighter Richie Allen, on Manhattan Beach, California, a few days after the terrorist attacks. Mercury photo by Lucy Hass

9/11: Remembering Richie Ten years ago, Al Qaeda terrorists slammed planes into the World Trade Center, Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field, leaving an indelible scar on America.

I was in California with my sister Louise at the time and did what most vacationing newspeople do under such circumstances – gather up local newspapers.

But I didn’t read them. Until now.

Last month I dragged the shopping bag of newspapers from the back of a closet and began to read.

A decade distanced from the event, I flipped through page after page of newsprint – The Los Angeles Times; The Beach Reporter; L.A. Weekly; the Daily Breeze from Torrence, California; Ojai Valley News Shopper and Ventura County Star.

“Act of War” the Times’ front page proclaimed.

The images were also unsettling, particularly one of a man free-falling to his death from one of the World Trade Center buildings.

The Los Angeles Times featured a full page titled The Dead and Missing – a sobering A to Z list of the victims. The sheer volume was staggering. And a subhead told the sad reality – “These are the names of the terrorists’ victims identified so far.”

So far. The two little words spoke volumes.

There would undoubtedly be more victims. Like Richie Allen.

His name was scribbled on a candle-lit vigil on the Manhattan Beach, California shoreline after the attacks.

Even a full continent away, there was a connection.

From the sandy rows of memorial tributes, Richie’s name spoke to me and I’ll never know why.

Back home after the attack, I Googled his name and learned who he was – Richard Allen, a New York City firefighter from Ladder 15, Manhattan.

There was a photo, as well, of a young man, so ordinary yet so extraordinary.

Nearing the 10th anniversary, I searched again, to learn more.

Like the added tragedy that he was just getting off-duty from a night shift when the call came in that a plane had struck the World Trade Center, and he jumped on

LUCY HASS MISCELLANY Engine 4 as an extra man.

My mystery man died at only 31 years of age and was laid to rest March 11, 2002.

In high school he earned a diving scholarship to college, and before becoming a firefighter he was a New York City public school teacher known by his students as “laid back” and “cool.”

A website tribute written by his sister Judy Allen-Aiken speaks of her brother’s vitality and love of the Rockaway Beaches where he once worked as a lifeguard.

“The beach was a powerful place for Richie and brought him comfort; it was Richie’s Heaven on Earth,” she wrote.

“People become firefighters for many reasons. Richie’s family believes that he became a fireman because saving people and helping is what gave him life,” she wrote.

She described her brother as “one of the good guys” who had an amazing sense of humour, a contagious laugh and could tell a story like no one else.

As the 10th anniversary of 911 nears, there will be a flood of media focus on, and interpretation of, that dark day in world history. There will be volumes written and scores of analyses.

My own thoughts will be focussed on a sister’s website tribute titled Angel on Our Shoulders, a salute to the memory of a brother lost.

“On September 11, 2001, the terrorists took something from all Americans; however, Firefighter Richie Allen and all of the heroes from that day gave back so much more than the cowards could ever take,” Judy wrote.

“His spirit, his memory and his unconditional love for so many people is alive and thriving in all who knew him and even in those who did not have the privilege of knowing this incredible man.”

People like me.

As we enter this last long weekend of summer, savour life, family and friends.

They are truly our Heaven on Earth.

Continued from Page 2 She was one of the first franchisees when the company first moved to franchising about 15 years ago and was well known by her peers for her help and support in establishing their businesses, says Yvonne Ratigan, vice president of Network Service Royal LePage Canada.

Ratigan had regular contact with Enright over the years and says the loss has shocked people across the company. “She will be sadly missed by an awful lot of people and certainly at head office in Toronto,” she said.

“She was a very lovely, vivacious person,” said Ratigan.

The real estate business can be a roller coaster ride and dealings are not always easy, but Enright handled herself with class and professionalism.

“It’s not always rosy, but she was always someone who was a pleasure to see,” said Ratigan.

“She always had a positive attitude and a beautiful smile. She ran a great little office in Arnprior and we were very proud to have her carry the name of Royal LePage. Royal LePage plans an in-memoriam donation to the local women’s shelter, a cause Enright supported.

Enright was the daughter of the late Jack Holmes and Marilyn (nee Cruise) of Renfrew.

She is survived by her children Mark (Sheila) and Paula (Shane English) of Arnprior. She is also survived by grandchildren Brye, Farrah and Ava Enright, Lilianna English and her soon to be first grandson, and siblings Gail Sherman (Peter) of Ottawa, Jane Shannon (Doug) of Kanata, Joy Holmes and Nancy Rousselle (Scott) of Renfrew and Kathryn Payton (Russ Andrews) of Cobourg and is predeceased by her brother Larry.

Say goodbye to summer, not loved ones, this Labour Day weekend ONTARIO PROVINCIAL POLICE

Many Ontarians will be eager to head out for one of their last summer outings this coming Labour Day weekend and the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) know how easily eagerness can translate to careless behaviour, poor judgment and ultimate tragedy on roads, waterways and trails.

The OPP conducted unprecedented enforcement over the Victoria Day, Canada Day and Civic Holiday long weekends this year (2011) and despite their ramped up efforts, tragic deaths and serious injuries have continued to make their way into the statistics books over the spring and summer months.

With one summer long weekend left and kids about to start a new school year, the OPP are set to do everything within their means and available resources to keep the year-to-date fatality and injury statistics as low as possible.

The OPP will be highly visible on highways, roads, lakes, rivers and trails targeting impaired drivers, distracted drivers, aggressive drivers, those who are not in compliance with restraint laws.

As a means of encouraging discussion with the public, the OPP has been increasing its use of social media to encourage Ontarians to share their views about OPP traffic safety initiatives and public education campaigns we undertake to keep our highways and roadways safe.

Posting traffic safety initiatives and other news on popular social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook about how we keep Ontario safe is fast becoming an integral part of how we do business. It is helping us to be more effective by allowing us to reach out directly to the public and address issues or misconceptions while raising awareness and generating public viewpoints and questions about the many laws we enforce.

The OPP encourages the public to sign up and participate in its media discussions by following the links to its social media accounts posted on the front page of the OPP website.

“With distracted driving being added to the list of causal factors in preventable deaths and injuries, our officers have faced as difficult a task as ever in enforcing laws on our roads, waterways and trails this year,” says OPP Commissioner Chris Lewis.

“Our long weekend enforcement this past year has been as ambitious as ever and we have every intention of carrying this momentum through out and beyond the Labour Day weekend,” he says.

OPP Deputy Commissioner Larry Beechey, Provincial Commander, Traffic Safety and Operational Support also shares his safety message.

“By this time of year, our officers have become familiar faces to many Ontarians on long weekends and this coming weekend will be no different. The proof that people need to stop endangering the lives of others lies in the hefty number of charges we laid this time last year. With eight tragic deaths and almost 10,000 charges being laid last Labour Day weekend (2010), we know how important it will be to maintain a strong presence throughout the province.”

THE NUMBERS • The OPP has investigated 44,917 reportable motor vehicle collisions (MVC) this year on OPP-patrolled roads; an increase of 6.3 per cent from the 42,271 for the same time in 2010.

• 192 persons have been killed in MVCs on OPP-patrolled roads; a decrease of 7.2 per cent from the 207 for the same time in 2010.

• 9,049 people have been injured in MVCs on OPP-patrolled roads; a decrease of 3.8 per cent from the 9,405 over 2010.

A 21-year-old White Lake man was killed in a single-vehicle accident near Waba on the weekend.

Erik Nugent failed to navigate a sharp turn at about 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, said Const.

Janice Sawbridge of the Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police.

Nugent was driving northbound in a silver four-door Honda and was thrown from the vehicle after losing control.

Police say he was not wearing a seatbelt.

Sawbridge said the investigating officer’s report calls it driver error, and doesn’t cite alcohol as a factor.

Although the road curves at almost a 90 degree angle, Sawbridge said police won’t recommend a stop sign.

“It’s well marked,” she said.

Nugent’s mother, Babette, owns the General Store – a hub in the village of White Lake.

She could not be reached for comment.

Marine unit rescues family Killaloe OPP Const. Jordan Bullis received a report Aug. 28 that a family with an eight-year-old and a six-month-old was camping at Bark Lake.

The family was attempting to return home, but the water was too rough and their boat had broken down. Const. Lyndon Murray and auxiliary officer Glenn Yarascavitch were conducting marine patrols and attended.

All parties were returned safely to land due to the quick actions of the officers.

PRECIOUS PETS GROOMING SALON

Seat belts would have saved lives Officers with the Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police encourage everyone to use the seat belts in their vehicles and prevent senseless and preventable injuries and death.

Local officers have attended several collisions this summer alone in which the simple task of buckling up would have saved a life.

Everyone must do their part to ensure safer roadways by using seat belts ourselves, and encouraging others to do the same.

As we enter the last long weekend of the summer of 2011, let’s all do our part to make it as safe as possible.

Buckling up is about the easiest thing you could do, and it may just save your life.

SCAM ACTIVE IN RENFREW An old scam involving a supposed bank employee is active in Renfrew and residents need to be cautious.

A victim was contacted last week by a male who pretended to be a bank manager.

He informed the victim that he needed their help to investigate tampering with their account at the bank.

The victim was instructed to withdraw funds three separate times and to meet a bank employee at a parking lot in town and turn over the funds.

The funds were supposed to be returned to the victim, and when they weren’t the police were contacted.

Don’t be fooled. Banks do not use clients to assist in internal investigations. If you are contacted and urged to withdraw funds and turn that money over to someone, call the police.

Call 1-888-310-1122 to speak to an OPP dispatcher.

If you have received a phone call and you aren’t sure if it was legitimate, call your bank, or discuss the matter with family or a trusted friend.

Do not turn money over to a stranger; you will not see that money again.

Don’t be embarrassed if this has

happened to you, these criminals are professionals; they are very good at what they do.

More information on common types of scams and frauds is available at the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888495-8501 or www.antifraucentre.ca DRUG CHARGE Officers conducting RIDE spot checks in Cobden at midnight on Friday night, Aug. 26 found marijuana and drug-trafficking paraphernalia in a vehicle. Officers stopped the car at Highway 17 and Main Street and located the drugs and a quantity of alcohol in the vehicle.

An 18-year-old Eganville man was charged with being under 19 and possessing alcohol, possessing more than one driver’s licence, driving a motor vehicle with improperly affixed validation, possession of marijuana, and possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking. He was released on an appearance notice for court in Renfrew on Oct. 12 for the criminal charges and a summons for traffic court in Renfrew on Oct. 28.

Const. Julie Lapointe investigated.

DOMESTIC DISPUTES During the past week officers from the Renfrew OPP investigated seven domestic disputes. One male was charged with assault and two counts of uttering threats, and one male was charged with assault, uttering threats and mischief. No other criminal offences occurred.

SINCE 1990

the investigation is ongoing.

OPP’s marine checks to continue past Labour Day STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Boating safety will continue to be enforced, as the summer draws to a close, through the Renfrew OPP detachment’s marine patrols.

This summer Const. Darin Chaplin has been busy patrolling local waterways with the help of the local OPP marine summer student, Brittany Falls of Carp.

With Labour Day weekend upon us, Const. Chaplin says the OPP marine patrols will take a zero-tolerance approach to drinking alcoholic beverages aboard marine vessels and the use of life-jackets. Alcoholic beverages are permitted to be on board, if suitably stored and not open.

Flotation devices must be on board for each occupant of a vessel. And if they’re inflatable models they must actually be worn by the user.

Vessels are also required to have on board a marine safety kit. A kit often includes matches, a flare, rope, whistle and flashlight. The operator of any mo-

torized vessel must also have his or her operator’s permit on board. This summer the Renfrew OPP detachment has been doing four 10-hour patrols each week on local waterways.

Depending on the quality of weather, they will continue into October with the detachment’s 19.5-foot, 150-horsepower boat Harber Craft.

Operators and fellow occupants must also adhere to other regulations outlined in the Safe Boating Guide, published by Transport Canada. These include the regulation that youth under the age of 16, whether supervised or not, require a proof of competency to operate any motorized marine vessel.

Certain exceptions do apply.

For example, a child under age 12 may operate a boat with up to 10 horsepower (or 7.5 kW). Children under 16 may not operate a personal watercraft, such as jet skis, wave runners and SeaDoos.

For more details about regulations, visit www.boatingsafety. gc.ca.

Take driving more seriously, says OPP The Renfrew detachment of the OPP has investigated several collisions this summer where driver error has been the cause.

The OPP encourages drivers to refocus their attention on driving when behind the wheel, and nothing else.

Many drivers have become cavalier with their driving and multi-tasking. Driving is a skill

which requires the driver’s full attention. Driver error often results in no consequence; you hit the shoulder and correct. But driver error can sometimes result in fatal consequences.

Drifting into oncoming traffic while reaching for something can take your life or someone’s else’s. Drive carefuly and you’ll drive again tomorrow.

Always drive with caution and obey the rules of the road.

EDITORIAL

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Take heart

Clarification

Another warning has been issued. Renfrew County residents, especially those in rural areas, are running a higher risk of heart disease and stroke.

Late Tuesday afternoon the Champlain Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Network sent out a news release with some scary findings.

The Atlas of Cardiovascular Health in the Champlain Region 2011 is the fourth in a series designed to give an up-to-date snapshot of the heart health of Champlain residents.

The Atlas made five key findings.

• There continues to be a disparity between urban and rural populations. Renfrew County, counties in Eastern Ontario (particularly Prescott and Russell), and Leeds, Grenville and Lanark are known “hot spots” for cardiovascular disease, with higher morbidity and mortality than rates for the city of Ottawa, the province, and Canada.

• Rates for most risk factors are lower than the national average among residents of Ottawa, but are generally higher than the national average among people in the same rural areas – particularly for diabetes, overweight and obesity, and smoking. Example – for the risk factor of smoking, only 9.4% of the population in Ottawa indicate they are daily smokers, compared with 15.6% in Canada, 20.7% in Eastern Ontario, 21.1% in Leeds, Grenville and Lanark, and 22.4% in Renfrew County.

• The Atlas reports a decrease in second-hand exposure to smoking in the region, which the CCPN attributes largely to education and public policies in recent years.

• Heart attacks, strokes, and other issues related to cardiovascular disease are a major cause of hospitalization in the region, accounting for 12 per cent of all admissions. Cardiovascular disease affects not only the lives of individuals and their families but also puts tremendous strain on the health care system.

• While the hospitalization and mortality rates from cardiovascular disease show a gradual decline overall in the Champlain Region, the CCPN projects a greater number of cases of heart disease and stroke in the future as a result of the aging population.

As a result, efforts will be made to provide citizens with a variety of disease-prevention programs, from smoking cessation to healthy eating.

Take the message to heart. It could save yours.

The Renfrew Mercury Proudly serving Renfrew and area for 141 years.

To the editor: The coverage on the issues facing the home care sector was excellent.

It would seem, however, that I was out of date with my figures on Renfrew County.

Several of my personal support worker (PSW) friends have contacted me to say that almost 40 per cent of them work full time with some benefits and most get mileage after their first visit of the day.

I do apologize to them for not checking the information I got from Toronto.

The work they do is crucial to help the disabled and elderly remain in their own homes and we are lucky to have some incredibly dedicated workers in our area.

Sincerely, Sue McSheffrey Renfrew

Correction LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Hiking park good use of CP line To the editor: Suggestions have been made pertaining to the future use of the lands along the abandoned rail lines. I wish to add another: Turn it into a hiking park, the longest hiking/snowshoeing park in the world, set in a strip of primarily native trees and plants.

While vehicle buffs may be lobbying for the space, I believe that using the rail lands for a snowmobile/motorcycle trail would be a mistake.

A hiking/snowshoeing trail within a park full of native trees would promote a healthy form of recreation as well as improve the environment and create a reservoir of native plant genetics. A walking park would not require speed signs or special maintenance to handle vehicular traffic loads.

Hikers would be far less likely to cause accidents at road crossings and pedestrian crossings that intersect the park.

And property owners adjacent to the park would suffer far less noise pollution if the trail was reserved for hiking

and snowshoeing, which, in turn, would benefit property values.

There are people who would cross oceans or continents to hike the world’s longest park, just to have the bragging rights. And snowshoeing could provide a truly Canadian tourist experience in winter. Perhaps cross-country skiers could use the trail, as well. As a result, businesses along the trail offering food, lodging and sport gear would benefit.

And tourist pamphlets at such businesses could promote other attractions as well.

Further, native and other hardy fruit trees along the sunny edges would add to the tourist value of the park with blossom festivals in spring and fruit festivals in fall.

I believe the benefits of reserving the rail lands for foot-bound recreation would far outweigh the benefits of adding new snowmobile trails.

Yours truly, Allison Azulay Renfrew

Hello, Ila and Jim: Yesterday, my wife and I were walking on the Millennium Trail west of where it meets Gillan Road. I was watching some cedar waxwings high in a tree, when I noticed a bird on the same tree.

It had a bright yellow breast, a thick black beak, dark head, and a darker, almost black, patch around the eye with a light-coloured bar above. The back and wings looked olive green-brown in the sunlight. My wife noticed some more of these birds in the bushes nearby, and we believe that there were at least five of them.

About 45 minutes later we saw three similar birds. One had a yellow breast and olive-brown back, but the facial colours were less clear, presumably because it was a female or juvenile bird.

After consulting the Internet and our bird guides we concluded that the birds were yellow-breasted chats. It appears that Renfrew is well north of the expected range for these birds, although the references provided by the ministry are no more recent than 1995.

Cedric and Ruth Wright As you mentioned, these birds were well north of their expected range. However, they have been slowly expanding northward in recent years.

A RARE ONE Hi, Jim and Ila: Ken and I were fortunate to see what we thought was a rare sighting. We knew it was a woodpecker but we didn’t know which species.

It had a very bright and solid red head, but it wasn’t big enough to be a pileated woodpecker.

When we searched our bird book we found it to be the redheaded woodpecker. We’ve never seen one before. It arrived on Monday, August 22nd landed on a hydro pole and stayed around until mid morning of the next day.

We hope to see it again!

Pat and Ken Forest Pat and Ken: This woodpecker is indeed “a rare bird.” The arrival of European starlings in our area has pushed the red-headed woodpecker almost to extinction.

The starlings arrive early in the spring (some stay all winter) and take all the best nests sites, leaving the woodpeckers without.

COMMON YELLOWTHROAT Hi, Jim and Ila: I was pleased to see a common yellowthroat at the Holy Well this week.

It was either a female or an immature bird, for it had no black mask. However, there was no mistaking what it was because this

JIM FERGUSON SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE pretty little bird, with its bright yellow breast, was skulking low down among the weeds and cardinal flowers at the edge of Constant Creek. The American bitterns are at it again, standing beside the road with their beaks pointing to the sky. It seems a dangerous place to take a rest when there are cars passing constantly.

Carol McCuaig COMMON NIGHT HAWKS Hello, Jim and Ila: In the past two weeks we have seen several night hawks in Renfrew (Victoria Park area). The wing shape and white bars on the wings are very distinctive. I have not seen a night hawk for many years so it was nice to see several at one time. One evening at least seven were seen dipping and diving in search of insects.

Simon Terry Indeed, it is good to hear and see them.

SANDHILL CRANES Hi, Jim and Ila: I live on the western edge of the flat farm land west of the Bonnechere River (west of the Deacon Escarpment). For the past couple of weeks a pair of Sandhill cranes has been coming into the hay field at the edge of our property. They make the weirdest noises!

We saw a pair of sandhill cranes here a few years ago but they didn’t come back for several years.

Peter Hayes Peter: The cranes have been regular residents for the past 10 years. They are a welcome addition to our bird population.

AN INJURED GOLDFINCH Rita Lafrance had an immature goldfinch strike her patio door. She said the bird lay on its side and did not move. She went out and placed it on the deck railing. It recovered and flew away in about 20 minutes.

The best way to help birds that strike our windows is to keep them protected from predators.

Or, if you can catch them, hold them in your hands to keep them warm. If they are not too badly injured they will recover and fly away.

Walking Forward with aboriginal youth STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Several youngsters from nearby Pikwakanagan were among 32 Aboriginal youth participating in the Niigan Mosewak summer camp at Camp Smitty, just outside Eganville, last week.

Counsellors from the Ottawa Boys and Girls Club and the Ontario Provincial Police were part of the third annual camp. Attendance was up from last year’s 24 youth participants, and efforts are underway to bring that number closer to 40 next time around.

“Just being the third year, we’re trying to increase the numbers,” said camp director Jerry Novack.

Niigan Mosewak, the Ojibway words for Walking Forward, is a summer camp hosted by the OPP East Region Provincial Liaison Team for aboriginal youth ages 11 to 15.

The focus is on First Nation teachings, team building, sports and other camp activities.

Other activities include capture the flag, swimming and ca- Sgt. Danny Mulligan, who flies this new $6.5 million EC-135 helicopter for the OPP, speaks noeing. to a group of Aboriginal youth. The youngsters were full of questions about the highA major goal of the camp is to tech flying machine during the Niigan Mosewak summer camp at Camp Smitty. foster positive relationships between Aboriginal youth and police while encouraging the youngsters to become role models and leaders in their communities.

During an open house for the media and members of the public Aug. 25, several OPP officers were among the instructors on hand sharing their expertise and ideas with the youngsters.

One presentation was about drug use and the products used by drug users; another was on lacrosse; another on use of a particular machine-gun in hostage rescues.

Guns can evoke signs of violence and bloodshed. But Const.

Sylvain Sabourin of the East Region Tactics and Rescue Unit said during his informal talk about using a C-8 CQB machinegun that the goal in hostage rescue and similar emergencies is always peace and resolution, not death. Such talks, he said, were an opportunity for OPP officers to provide exposure and awareness for the youngsters.

At the same talk, the youth had an opportunity to view an OPP recruitment video played on a computer laptop while other youngsters spoke to the officer with their own questions.

Jeliel Sarazin of Pikwakanagan was among the youngsters who was impressed by what he saw at the camp. He said he had a good time, partly because he was getting answers to several of his questions.

Continued from Page 10 Another youth from Pikwakanagan was Kateri Amikons, who was attending the camp for the second time.

“It’s fun, with all the activities they have,” she said.

OPP officers on site also expressed satisfaction with the content and direction of the camp.

OPP Deputy Commissioner Vince Hawkes of Orillia said Niigan Mosewak is among several such camps run in the province under the auspices of the OPP. “This is my first opportunity to see how this camp operates, and we’re very, very impressed with the kids – the smiles, the

cooperation.

“It just reinforces that we’re headed in the right direction in investing in our aboriginal

youth.”

Several youth, for example, were fascinated by the presentation of Sgt. Danny Mulligan,

the pilot of one of the OPP’s two new $6.5 million EC-135 helicopters. His talk included a question-and-answer session.

The helicopters are stationed out of Sudbury and Orillia, with two-thirds of their activites involving search-and-rescue.

With the assistance of two SkiAbility Ottawa volunteers, Garry Inglis make his first successful run.

SkiAbility brings out the best in CLRCS clients PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

Local Community Living clients enjoyed time on the water through the SkiAbility Ottawa Program in Burnstown Aug. 7.

The group took to the Madawaska River for a day of waterskiing.

The SkiAbility Ottawa Program uses various types of adaptive equipment and teaching techniques to ensure participant success. The boats are equipped with a ski boom to optimize learning and training.

The participant may choose, depending on ability, sit-skiing, stand-up skiing, wakeboard or barefoot.

SkiAbility is under the direction of head instructor Ross Holden.

SkiAbility Ottawa got its start in 1993 as an ad-hoc program, In 1995, when Water Ski and Wakeboard Canada launched SkiAbility, they joined the national movement and adopted the name SkiAbility Ottawa.

The program provides a safe, fun, successful learning experience for all persons with a disability regardless of their previous watersport experiences.

“Age and disability are not limitations. They merely change the approach to the sport,” SkiAbility notes on its website.

“At SkiAbility Ottawa we be-

lieve in adapting the equipment to the skier, not adapting the skier to the equipment,” they add.

Dave Kenopic of Community Living Renfrew County South said everyone got into the waterskiing spirit at Burnstown.

“The SkiAbility Ottawa Water Ski Program proved once again that anyone wishing to waterski ... can water ski!” Kenopic said.

“SkiAbility volunteers and instructors arrived at the Burnstown Beach rowing dock early Sunday (Aug. 7) morning. They brought with them a wealth of experience, knowledge and good humour along with a superfast ski boat and a trailer full of adapt water ski equipment.”

Attendance jumped quite a bit from last year, he added.

“Twelve people supported

by Community Living Renfrew County South completed successful ski runs on the Madawaska River thanks to the experience and enthusiasm of the SkiAbility crew. Last year, we had five people,” Kenopic said.

The program emphasizes the ‘ability’ in disability and aims to remove the various barriers to this great summer activity, the SkiAbility Ottawa website added. SkiAbility is an initiative of Water Ski and Wakeboard Canada.

Tristan Woodfine of Cobden is headed off to the world junior triathlon championships in Beijing, China with aspirations of improving on his fifth-place finish at the recent Pan Am junior championships.

Woodfine, 18, is one of three triathletes on the junior men’s squad.

He’ll be joined by Francis Lefebvre of Quebec and Winnipeg’s Tyler Mislawchuk. Canada’s junior women’s team consists of Joanne Brown of Carp, as well as Ellen Pennock of Calgary and Christine Ridenour of Cowichan Bay, B.C. Woodfine’s race Sunday, Sept. 11, is part of the larger grand final of the International Triathlon Union (ITU) world championship series. The grand final runs Sept. 5 to 11.

The Canadian team will consist of 19 elite athlete and 111 other triathletes in age-group categories. Team stars include two-time Olympic medalist Simon Whitfield who recently won his 10th Canadian championship.

Woodfine has excelled as a runner out of Opeongo High School while winning six OFSAA (Ontario high school) championship medals.

Cub GM’s success plan cut short You often hear a newly-hired coach or general manager say, “Give me five years; and I’ll build you a winner.”

Jim Hendry was let go last week as GM of the Chicago Cubs. He still had a couple of years left in his 105-year plan.

Hall Home for Thome: Since hitting his 600th home run (he also clubbed No. 599 in the same game), the debate is on.

Should Jim Thome be in the Baseball Hall of Fame?

Detractors – believe it or not, there are some – say he hasn’t won many awards or all-star selections over the years, and has been strictly a designated hitter in recent times.

My argument for Hall of

PETER CLARK PETER’S PUTTERINGS Fame induction: He’s got 602 home runs, and is still going.

He’s in eighth place all-time in round-trippers.

Of the seven guys ahead of him, only four have never been linked to steroids.

That makes Thome fifth among non-performance enhancement guys.

He’s in: First ballot.

Sounds fishy: From the someone has too much time on their hands department, Mike Carp of the Seattle Mariners had a 20-game hitting streak

snapped last week. Not bad.

But it was noted, he shares the aquatic lead in that department.

Retired players Tim Salmon and Kevin Bass also had a 20-game hitting streak during their careers.

Times are tough: With the NBA on the possible verge of losing the 2011-12 season, or at least a part of it, Delonte West of the Boston Celtics has applied for a job at Home Depot.

The $14 million he has earned playing basketball has run out. * * * For this week: Without checking the list, name the four players not linked to steroids ahead of Jim Thome in career Major League Baseball home runs.

The five-pound Lake championship trophy after combining to land bass, second from left caught by Rossit, was the largest fish caught. five fish totalling more than 19 pounds.

Father-son combo wins Constant Lake Classic PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

The father and son team of Mark and Tanton Landriault emerged as the top anglers at this year’s Constant Lake Classic Bass Tournament July 30.

The winners combined to reel in five bass which totalled more than 19 pounds. The winning team is declared by the combined weight of five fish.

The popular event – organized by Tom Hyland of Dagenais Construction – is headquartered annually at the Butler Cottage on Constant Lake.

This year’s event marked a milestone as it was the 20th annual tournament.

The Landriaults’ 19 pounds exceeded the weigh-in of brother duo of Jeff and Steven Barber, who were victorious with 17 pounds last year, and 18

pounds the year before.

Kenneth Dagenais and Mitchell Rossit, who caught the fish, brought in the biggest bass which tipped the scales at more than five pounds.

The 2011 classic drew 39 teams.

All competitors complied with federal and provincial boating and angling rules, and only large- and smallmouth bass were eligible to be weighed in. It was catch and release of all fish.

Olympic Edge campers get a jump on the 2011-12 hockey season at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre

Getting an Edge for 2011-12 Staff at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre put the ice in, and Olympic Edge started things off for the 2011-12 season with a week-long summer hockey camp Aug. 22 to 26 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.

Sixty children from the Ottawa Valley, ranging from novice to major bantam, gathered to improve their hockey skills under

the direction of Olympic Edge owner and operator Tony Iob, Kip Mulvihill and goaltender coach Mavric Parks.

The children enjoyed three hours of intense on-ice training combined daily with three hours of off-ice conditioning.

The Olympic Edge website for all upcoming camps is www. olympicedge.org.

From Page 13 Three medals came in cross-country running and three in track and field. His most recent medal was bronze last June with a personal best time of eight minutes 24 seconds for 3,000 metres.

Woodfine intentionally bulked up this year, from about 140 to 150 pounds, to improve his swimming and biking. “I haven’t found it has (negatively) affected my running, and my biking and swimming have improved significantly,” he says.

During heavy training last spring, the Cobden teenager’s heaviest weeks entailed total swim workouts of 40 kilometres, total running workouts of 60 kilometres, and biking three or four times a week, including twohour rides of up to 70 kilometres.

Woodfine is off to the University of Guelph this fall to study criminal justice and public policy, but he’s also gunning for a lengthy career in the triathlon.

“I definitely want to go to the Olympic Games and hopefully podium there,” he says quietly. “That’s everyone’s dream if they compete at a high level.

Hopefully I’ll make a

career out of it (triathlon).”

Woodfine leaves Sunday for China, where he hopes to be a medallist.

“With international competition, there’s a lot of guys swimming my speed, so if it ends up like that, it gives me a shot because I’m one of the faster runners,” says Woodfine.

“I hope to get some experience and get out among the fastest in the water, and give it my best shot.”

The junior distances are 750 metres for the swim, a 20-km bike and five-kilometre run.

Woodfine’s goals are realistic, says his coach, Greg Kealey of the Bytown Storm Triathlon Club.

“I definitely think so … He definitely has the desire and the plan.

For his level it’s not trying to be first out of the water, but conserving energy in the second group and getting on the bike and taking control of the bike pack. “If he can succeed in the first two disciplines, he sets himself up for a really good opportunity. He’s definitely got more than a better chance to place in the top three or top five.”

Woodfine also has another year of junior eligibility remaining, in 2012.

It’s for a great cause, and it’s still not too late to sign up.

End your 2011 golf season by taking par in the 18th annual Laurel Rafuse Memorial Golf Tournament.

Back-to-back for T. Williams T. Williams Plumbing & Heating displayed the form that made them 2010 Ma-Te-Way Mixed Slo Pitch League champions one year ago. The defending league title winners cruised through the 2011 regular-season with only one defeat.

They were equally effective in the playoffs, reeling off eight wins against a single loss to keep the championship hardware. After coming back from an early fourrun deficit to win the 2011 best-offive championship series curtain raiser by a 14-9 count Aug. 16, the plumbing shop pulled the plug on Deslaurier Custom Cabinets with a 21-3, 17-9 doubleheader sweep to wrap up their second consecutive league title Aug. 23.

Matt Stewart pitched all three wins in the series for T. Williams, and clubbed a home run and four hits in the opening game of the championship- clinching doubleheader. Sean O’Reilly also had four hits and a home run, and Frank Visneskie three hits and a round-tripper for T. Williams.

Hillary MacMillan also collected four hits.

Visneskie capped off a fiverun first inning with a three-run dinger in the nightcap.

Landin Miller also went deep with two teammates aboard in the third frame as T. Williams put the final game away in a hurry.

MacMillan added five hits and scored four runs to complete a nine-hit doubleheader. Lindsay Wall chipped in with three hits and scored all three times.

Paul Martin handled pitching duties for Deslaurier’s. Brett Gilchrist homered in both games while Dave Fisher and Trevor Lacroix added the long ball in the final game.

Supporters of both teams were pretty vocal throughout, but none more than T. Williams’ number-one playoff fan Cheryl Lyons, who came equipped with a horn and a clapper.

The Renfrew Timberwolves have been busy as they prepare for the upcoming Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League season and defence of their Valley Division championship. As with any team, changes happen throughout the off season, and the Renfrew club is no exception.

One thing that won’t change is the Wolves’ winning bench combination from last season.

Tony Iob returns behind the bench to begin what will be his first full season with the club. He is joined by assistants Kip Mulvihill and Derek Scheuneman.

With a couple of players from last year’s squad leaving for school, it put Wolves’ general manager Brent Sylvester in a mood to make some trades for the betterment of all parties involved.

The GM made three deals in a matter of days,

first sending defenceman Ryan Lepine and future considerations to the Stittsville Royals in exchange for 17-year-old Justin Farrell.

Lepine will be able to suit up for the Royals while going to school in Ottawa.

Veteran blueliner Erik Mask of Renfrew will be attending school in Kingston and has been moved to the nearby Westport Rideaus of the Rideau-St. Lawrence Conference.

Westport also receives a 16-year-old card for the 2012-13 season while Renfrew gets Brock Jessop and a 16-year-old card for this year.

Jessop had 39 points in 42 games in his rookie season in Westport.

The Wolves then pulled off a three-forone deal, getting back Renfrew native Jimmy MacMillan.

Also coming Renfrew’s way in the trade from the Perth Blue Wings are Mark Vrandenburg and Ryan

Wolves bring on new faces

Recreation The 2011 Rural Ramble in the Ottawa Valley is getting ready to celebrate rural living. Showcasing four weekends of exploration, agriculture, history and arts, this year’s event begins Sept. 10 and runs every weekend until Oct. 2.

Organized by the Ottawa Valley Tourist Association (OVTA), the Rural Ramble is a free, self-guided driving tour set against a backdrop of beautiful fall colours.

This year’s event will showcase many natural and human-built wonders of the region, the various agricultural and rural operations of the scenic countryside, the rich history and heritage of Ottawa Valley residents, as well as the area’s vibrant arts and cultural communities.

“This is the second year with the new extended Rural Ramble format, and we are pleased to see so many new sites participating,” noted Lauren McIllfaterick, OVTA Communications Coordinator.

“The 2011 Rural Ramble promises to be exciting with more sites, new prizes and contests, and no admission fee to the public.”

Each year, more than 2,000 visitors flock to Renfrew County to enjoy the fresh air and glorious fall colours while experiencing some of the best of what the Ottawa Valley has to offer.

With an unprecedented 41 sites partic-

ipating this year, there are lots of new things to see and do, including, feed the chickens, pot-bellied pigs, goats and buffalo at Pinto Valley Ranch; enjoy steam engine corn on the cob at Renfrew’s McDougall Mill Museum; observe the history of plowing, from horse drawn to tractor, at the Renfrew County Plowing Match; take home a free Whitewater Premium Candle Company pumpkin soufflé tea light from Simple Things; discover the story behind Canada’s only Feudal Lord at Waba Cottage Museum & Gardens; learn dog tricks and enjoy agility demonstrations at Cricket’s Canine Country Club; immerse yourself in Celtic Culture at Kippen Road Tartan Weaving; and participate in creative tie-dye and poetry workshops with Rri-joice Tie Dyes and Literacy Plus at the Bonnechere Caves.

Some of the returning favourites on the Rural Ramble are the Peruvian alpacas at Ballintotas Alpacas – soap making demonstrations at Opeongo Mountain Meadow Soap, Art on the Beach at the Moose on the Beach Restaurant, blacksmith demonstrations at Arnprior Museum, and maple syrup making at Mapleside Sugar Bush.

An exciting addition to the 2011 event is the Rural Ramble passport.

Rural Ramble passports are included in the event guide.

Ramblers are encouraged to fill out

the passport with a signature from a staff member or volunteer at each site they visit. Completed passports can be dropped off at the last site visited each weekend and they will be entered into a draw for a prize pack featuring unique gifts from participating Rural Ramble sites and valued at over $500.

The passports also include a spot for Ramblers to vote for their favourite Rural Ramble site. The site with the most votes (one per weekend) will be named Rural Rambler’s Choice.

“The passport and the Rambler’s Choice Awards are fun examples of ways event organizers are working to keep the annual festival fresh and new,” said McIllfaterick.

This year’s event is free to the public which means there are no bracelets to buy, however fees may apply for certain activities (refer to the official event guide for further details). A distribution list of where Rural Ramble event guides can be picked up is available on the Rural Ramble Facebook Page www. facebook.com/ruralramble.

GENERATING INTEREST Staff members with the Chenaux Generating Station of the Ontario Power Generation gather at work to mark a $400 donation to Hospice Renfrew. The money was provided by staff, as well as contract workers with M. Sullivan & Son, from an Aug. 18 turkey barbecue. From left, in the front row, are Fred Tiekstra, Charlie Taylor, Kerry McLeese, Clem Simard, John Qiao, Sharon Hoare and Hospice Renfrew volunteer fundraising director Jo-Anne Dowdall-Brown; back row, Paul Coreau, Jim Sadler, Randy McLaughlin, Gerry Benoit and Bruce Robertson. “It was looked upon as a local cause that was worthy of our support,” said supervisor Tiekstra, who noted the group has made recent donations to local food banks and for the Red Cross tsunami relief effort in Japan.

Paul and Sheryl Boese are all ready to give their support and participation in the Cobden Masonic Lodge Ride for the CHEO Foundation.

ONE STOP IMPORT SHOPPING!

ONE STOP IMPORT SHOPPING!

Pembroke’s David Bowles had some tough luck earlier this year organizing charitable motorcycle rides, as on four occasions rain stood in his way.

But even with the possible threat of the remnants of Hurricane Irene lurking somewhere in the distance, Bowles had nothing to worry about Saturday morning.

The Masonic Lodge 459 Cobden Ride for the CHEO (Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario) Foundation went off without a hitch.

Mother Nature provided nothing but sunny skies to greet the participants in Cobden Saturday morning.

The eighth annual ride brought in about $1,000 for the cause, and considering a smaller turnout than some rides can boast, the Bowles were very pleased. “We had about 40 bikes and about 65 generous participants who show up every time,� he said.

Bowles thanked the nearly 20 sponsors for their support in the CHEO Ride, as well as The Renfrew Mercury, Pembroke Daily Observer and Cobden Sun for promoting the event.

Riders came from throughout the Valley, including Petawawa, Pembroke, Killaloe, Arnprior, Ottawa, Orleans, Kanata, and points in between.

Among them were Paul and Sheryl Boese of Haley Station aboard their 1984 Yamaha. “We just got it (the bike) a month ago,� Sheryl pointed out, to which Paul was quick to add with a grin, “We have a 900-cc Honda for sale.� “This is the first time we’ve done this,� Paul said of the motorcycle ride, which covered the hills of Wilno and beyond before returning to its starting point for a chili dinner, 50-50 draw and door prizes.

Thain Patterson of Petawawa won the grand prize, an all-day fishing trip on the Ottawa River for three people with everything included.

The prize was sponsored

by Ron Ferguson of Castleford.

Second-prize winner Adele Coulas won a rod and reel, and Phil Ciphery received $80 for his 50-50 draw win.

Entering the new school year, there are several changes on the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board’s leadership team.

One of them is Derek Lennox, who has moved into the vice-principal’s position at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School.

It’s familiar territory for the Renfrew resident, who spent the last three and a half years as vice-principal of Bishop Smith Catholic High School in Pembroke.

Lennox has worked for the board since 1997, when he joined the staff at St. Joseph’s to teach mathematics.

In more than 10 years at the Renfrew high school, he taught business, physics, tech and religion, and served as department head for math, business and tech.

A straightforward relationship with students is a key part of his educational philosophy.

“Just be open and honest with the kids,” explained Lennox.

“The more open and honest you can be with them, the more open and honest they can be with you.”

“Tim’s a good guy and deserves the support,” Papousek said.

“His kids are two, four and six. The Calvary Pentecostal Church is doing a food drive for the kids. The youngest has a chronic illness and can only eat certain foods,” Papousek added.

The young child travels to CHEO on a weekly basis. Getz’s wife Nicole has been dividing her time between home, looking after the family, and going to the hospital.

“We are looking for people (businesses or individuals) to sponsor a kilometre sign (at the walk) for $100, They will have their logo on the sign,” Papousek said.

Organizers also plan to run a door-to-door fundraising campaign

Papousek said Getz appreciates all the support he has been receiving.

“He just got out of the hospital yesterday (Aug. 25),” Lepine noted. “He’s so grateful for the support.”

Lepine adds, if you can’t be in the walk, you’re still welcome to enjoy the barbecue for $5. “Anybody can participate (in the walk),” she stresses. “They just need to contact us before (Oct. 1).”

There was a military presence in Douglas about 6 p.m. Monday as a tank sat in the shade and soldiers walked along Stone Road.

But no fear, it was only training, and the tank and soldiers were scheduled to leave shortly after this photo was taken. The next morning military vehicles were once again seen driving through the village.

Catch Night Fever

Night fever, from Canada, will take you back to the sounds and the look of one of the greatest pop bands in history, the Bee Gees.

Their musical journey travels five decades with over 30 hit songs.

Night Fever performs all the hits from the early years to the disco era, from To Love Somebody and Jive Talking to You Should Be Dancing and Stayin’ Alive.

One website says the close high harmonies of brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb have made the Bee Gees one of the most impossible attractions in music to launch a tribute to... until Night Fever.

“The vocal match of this tribute band creates an eerie sense of seeing the Gibb brothers in concert.

Night Fever is the largest production of the Bee Gees in the world,” the site says.

The all-Canadian cast has been touring worldwide for the past 10 years, recreating the look and sound of the Bee Gees.

Consummate entertainer Frank Chiarelli could be described as the consummate entertainer.

His career spans over 40 years, performing on cruise ships, and at resorts and night clubs in every major capital of the world.

Some of Chiarelli’s favourite years in entertaining were the late-1960s with the resurgence of the five-part-harmony groups such as The Beach Boys, The Eagles, The Lettermen, The Tokens and, of course, The 4 Seasons.

Chiarelli went on to front well known bands in New York City such as The Freethinkers, The Rocking Royals and The Entertainers who did a guest Thursday night the Bee Gees tribute band Night Fever hits the stage, along with Frankie Valli tribute artist Frank Chiarelli. appearance on the Mike Douglas Show.

Deric Ruttan was raised just outside Bracebridge, on land where his greatgrandfather made moonshine in the 1930s.

Taking his cues from musical heroes like Steve Earle, he moved to Nashville and spent seven years ‘in the trenches’ in the country music capital of the world, struggling to make a name for himself.

Eventually he signed a publishing deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing, and soon after inked a recording contract with Disney’s Lyric Street Records.

When the album was released in Canada, the CD yielded five top-10 singles, including the hits When You Come Around, Shine, and Take The Wheel, and earned him a Best Album nomination at the 2004 Canadian Country Music Awards.

Male Vocalist and Rising Star nominations followed, as did the Grand Ol’ Opry appearances, and a high-profile national tour.

In 2004 he was named Best New Solo Country Artist at the Canadian Radio Music Awards. Stateside though, Ruttan’s artist success was about to be eclipsed by his success as a songwriter.

In 2003, just as his first single When You Come Around was released, he celebrated his first No. 1 as a songwriter when friend and collaborator Dierks Bentley took the Ruttan/Bentley/Brett Beavers co-write What Was I Thinkin’ to the top of the charts in the U.S. Over the course of touring his First

Time In A Long Time album in 2008 and 2009, Ruttan and his band developed a reputation for putting on high-energy shows. How his songs translate to a live audience is important to Ruttan.

“I’ve played more in the last year-anda-half than I played in the three previous years combined.

“When writing and recording the new album, I tried to keep in mind the energy of our live show. To a degree that influenced song selection.”

The energy and the intimacy of Ruttan’s live performances come through on every track on Sunshine.

As Ruttan wrote or co-wrote every song on the album, it’s also a very personal body of work.

“As a singer/songwriter, my albums usually end up being windows into where I am in my life when I write and record them. It’s never an intentional thing – but that’s what ends up happening.”

The album’s lead-off single, Sing That Song Again, is a nostalgic look at youth, the friendships made early in life, and the role music plays in our lives and relationships.

Ruttan and his band have embarked on a 23-city cross-Canada tour that will take them from British Columbia to P.E.I. “I love writing, recording, and producing records, but singing those songs for a live audience is the fourth critical step in the process. It completes the circle, and Deric Ruttan hits the grandstage stage at the Renfrew Fair on Friday night. galvanizes the music.”

Conlee committed to helping the family farm John Conlee is a lot like his songs.

He lives a domestic life with his wife gale and three children, Rebecca, Jessica and Johnny.

During the past two decades, Conlee has achieved a level of success by simply being himself and making records the public can relate to.

He is a gifted entertainer, but he’s not into the glitz and hype of the entertainment world. He’d rather spend his “off the road” time working on his 32-acre farm outside of Nashville, or engaging in his woodworking and gun-smithing hobbies.

Born and raised in Kentucky farm country, Conlee grew up plowing fields, slopping hogs, harvesting grain, raising tobacco, and tending cattle.

He began his crusade to save the family farm system several years ago, performing a concert in Omaha, Nebraska in June 1985 as a benefit for the National Farmers Organization.

When Willie nelson announced his plans for the Farm Aid concerts, Conlee called and offered his services.

Conlee has since been part of nine Farm Aid concerts, which have raised $13 million to help the family farmer.

“I certainly didn’t help to organize the entertainers and the concerts for the publicity,” says Conlee, “I wanted to help bring attention to the crisis affecting this nation’s family farms.

With the help of Willie and others, we

brought the family problems to the forefront and some changes began to take place.

“I’m not a radical or a rebel,” Conlee continues, “but I will stand up and speak my mind on issues that I feel affect me, my family and others, and the farm crisis was, and remains, one of those issues.”

Conlee’s success began in the late 70s. S igned to ABC Records after working in radio for a number of years, Conlee was ready to make records rather than just sit back and spin them.

His first release, Back Side of Thirty went no where fast. Three more singles also met with a minimum success, although they all charted. But in March of 1978, the label released Rose Colored Glasses, a song Conlee wrote, which became a huge hit and his signature song.

In January of 1979, the label re-released Back Side of Thirty which went on to become a No. 1 record.

The hits continued to roll. The Conlee hit list includes, Lady Lay Down, Before My Time, Friday Night Blues, Miss Emily’s Picture, Busted, I Don’t Remember Loving You, Common Man, I’m Only In It For The Love, In My Eyes, As Long As I’m Rocking With You, Years After You, Domestic Life, Mama’s Rockin Chair, Hit The Ground Runnin’ and Fellow Travelers.

All of Conlee’s hits have that unmistakable common thread – that unique voice.

Unlike many artists today, there are several aspects of Conlee’s career that have remained constant. His career has been managed from the beginning

by Dave Roberts and all his records have been produced by Bud Logan. In the entertainment world where artists change manager, agents and producers almost as often as they change their socks, Conlee has not tampered with success. He has remained loyal and constant with the people who have helped him from the beginning – which tells you quite a bit about the man with the rose-colored glasses.

Overall, there have been 29 single releases throughout the years with 26 of them charting in the top 20 or better.

Eight of those 26 have reached the coveted No. 1 spot on the national country charts.

His record tenure, beginning at ABC Records, brought him to MCA Records when the two labels merged.

Conlee also recorded for Columbia Records where he scored four hit singles signing with Nashville’s 16th Avenue Records, a division of the Opryland Music Group. This was something of a homecoming for Conlee, who has been a member of the Grand John Conlee is Saturday’s grandstand performer.

1936: Rain breaks drought AUGUST 31, 1911 ENGINEER MANAGED TO KEEP 12 WORKERS: The 22 Russian laborers employed on the new power plant construction quit work on Monday afternoon. They marched up to the town clerk’s office and asked for their checks. Engineer Stewart reminded them of their agreement with the town, which was to work until the building operations of the new power house were concluded at $1.65 per day. By using tact and some stress he managed to make 12 of them stay. They gave as their reason for quitting that they wanted a steady job throughout the winter, but it is thought that they received an offer of work elsewhere.

SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS IN MONTREAL: Mr. E.F. Kelly returned from Montreal, where some months ago he made arrangements to open a bottling works under the management of Mr. Frank Dupuis, who gave such efficient service in the Renfrew Bottling works for many years. The Montreal branch is prospering and progressing at a very pleasing rate. Recently a complete bottling outfit for all classes of soft drinks has been installed, and Mr. Dupuis’s skill is making the business forge ahead at a great rate. The business gives promise of being a leader in its line in Montreal.

AUGUST 20, 1936 YOUNG RENFREWITES LEAGUE SWIMMERS: Tom Logan and Tom Letang, who is in his first year after 12, swam the Ottawa from shore to shore a

few days ago. It was on that section of the Ottawa which widens into Chats Lake, with an average width of three miles. Starting at Thurston camp, they went over to Sand Bay, crossing three timber booms.

Both of these young Renfrewites are strong swimmers, the younger said to be the best in the district for his age.

SATURDAY MORNINGS RAIN BROKE A DROUGHT: People of Renfrew and vicinity were roused from their slumbers at 3.30 o’clock Saturday morning by thunder and lightening plus falling rain. Rain was falling in torrents and even the Renfrew baseball team has a welcome for it. A drought was broken. There was to have been a baseball match between Barry’s Bay and Renfrew in the Eastern Ontario playdowns and soon there appeared in the Mercury window a bulletin telling of the postponement of the match. The rain was good so far as it went. There was not enough of it.

Each week we feature animals from the Arnprior and District Humane Society that are up for adoption.

OLGA LEWIS FROM THE OLD FILES Mercury-Advance office last Thursday, and went through the backfiles. As it turned out Ernie was right. The storm happened June 14, 1892.

HISTORIC STONES PROVIDE SCENIC ASSET: Murray Chown and Harry Walker went on a historic safari into the lovely mountainous terrain just off the Opeongo Road in Radcliffe Township. Among the areas that the county tourist bureau seems to have overlooked are the stone fences on the Recoski farm.

Three generations of Recoskis, since Martin Recoski came in the immigration from Poland 150 years ago, have converted the rugged land into a 500-acre farm.

In that same immigration came a forbearer of Paul Yakabuski, MPP, Renfrew South. Successive generations of Recoskies have alternately cleared their acres by stoneboat of pre-Cambrian rocks and stones. They have fenced their fields with these in symmetrical patterns. Their original log buildings are on that mountain farm. They have also tapped a running stream, 40 feet down, and bricked a section of it. That modern well provides wonderful water.

You can see sweet Kalla for yourself at the Pet Valu in Renfrew. The tiny, spayed kitty is just under a year old and has already been through quite a bit. She was left at the shelter door in a cage with her three kittens and is now ready to find a loving new home of her own. Kalla is very quiet, enjoys attention and is affectionate. She is good with other cats and would be gentle with children. She will make a wonderful companion in her new home.

Shelter staff members are so hoping to find Charlie a loving home, they will waive the adoption fee for the right owner. The 10-12-year-old Rottweiler/Shepherd mix was found in Burnstown and never claimed. He is looking for a retirement home where he can quietly live out the rest of his life. He does have some arthritis but enjoys going for short walks. He is also partially deaf but likes to be petted and loves treats. He is housebroken and good in his crate. Charlie is not fond of other dogs and would be best suited where he is the only pet. He is quiet, enjoys laying in the sunshine and watching all that is happening around him. If you have room in your heart or home for this special senior boy, please come and meet him.

Supplies the shelter needs: Non-clumping cat litter (desperately), dry and canned kitten food, dry and canned cat food bleach.

You can call the Arnprior and District Humane Society at 613-623-0916 between noon and 5 p.m Monday to Saturday or visit www.arnpriorhumanesociety.ca

AUGUST 25, 1971 BACKFILES SOLVE DEBATE: The backfiles of the Renfrew Mercury solved an argument the other day.

Ernie Humphries of Castleford insisted that a big storm that hit the Renfrew area many years ago happened in 1892. But his brother Lorne, said it happened in 1893. Ernie was sure of the date, because that’s the year he was born. Lorne said it was a year later, because he was in a schoolhouse that collapsed during the storm. Ernie, bound he was going to win the argument came to the

If tears could build a stairway Right up to Heaven’s lane, I would walk right up to Heaven I’d have everything to gain.

I would wrap my arms around you, Hold you ever so tight, Tell you how I miss you Every day and every night.

Then I would thank you For the precious years we had, For the love we shared together, Life without you is so sad.

But I believe it wasn’t goodbye, But until we meet again, For some of us believe There really is no end.

I can still send my love Just a little farther away, To say I’ll always love you Every passing day.

You are within my heart, There you will remain, As I go on with life And you rest in Heaven’s lane.

Forgotten you will never be, For it’s now been 4 years Since God took you home And filled my eyes with tears.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Elaine Gray on August 23rd at the Intensive Care Unit of the Moncton Hospital with her loving family at her side.

Born in Renfrew, Ontario, Elaine is the daughter of the Late William and Evelyn Connery.

She will be dearly missed by her beloved and devoted husband Bob Gray. She is the loving mother of Catherine Jane (Derrick Acton) of Sackville and Kristi Lynn (Neal Welling) of Shediac Cape; cherished grandmother of Lindsay and Laine Acton and proud aunt to Megan, Jon, Lynn, Jay, Paul and Philip. She was predeceased by an older sister, Shirley Sheridan and her husband, Gerald, of North Carolina; and survived by a brother, Dr. Mervin Connery and wife, Ann of Napanee; and a younger sister, Lynn Whiteley and her husband Skip of Whitby, Ontario.

A graduate of Renfrew Collegiate and Ottawa Teachers’ College, Elaine was a teacher with the Ottawa School Board and subsequently, the Etobicoke Board of Education.
