Some Renfrew County railway signals are covered in garbage bags. In other places, the signals remain uncovered, but school bus drivers have hesitated about whether they should be stopping at those crossings.

“To stop or not to stop,” has been the question, said Renfrew County property and development director Paul Moreau at the Oct. 26 meeting of Renfrew County council.

Moreau says he has been informed that the Renfrew detachment of the OPP is not going to enforce stops by bus drivers on the discontinued sections of the Canadian Pacific rail line.

Moreau checked with Staff-Sgt. Colin Slight, the commander of the Renfrew detachment, to determine the extent of OPP enforcement.

After consulting with Ministry of Transportation and OPP officials, including the OPP’s regional manager of traffic, Slight said there will be no enforcement where the tracks are removed on both sides of the crossing.

Some school buses have been stopping on Raglan Street near Munroe Avenue, in downtown Renfrew, even though no train tracks remain on either side of the intersection.

Canadian Pacific has contracted out the dismantling of the railway this summer and fall. A total of about 40 kilometres of rails and related equipment has been collected between Renfrew and Cobden this year. Much more equipment will be collected on the line running between Mattawa and Smiths Falls in 2012.

O’Brien Road site considered for new Renfrew OPP detachment Assets Division to spend up to $50,000 on legal fees and preliminary designs.

The work is to be financed from the contingency allocation of the county’s 2011 budget.

STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Renfrew County council has authorized its Real Property Assets Division to proceed with preliminary work for a proposed Renfrew OPP detachment building on O’Brien Road.

Renfrew County owns 26 acres of property at 450 O’Brien Rd., which includes Renfrew County Place. That facility houses several Renfrew County services, a day care, and is the Renfrew base for the county’s paramedic service.

Renfrew County property and development director Paul Moreau said talks are very preliminary with Infrastructure Ontario, which helps develop buildings for the Ontario Provincial Police.

Moreau suggested the OPP might be looking at

The current downtown location of the Renfrew OPP. about six acres of property.

However, he also indicated it’s “difficult to determine the actual footprint of the building until the County of Renfrew receives the design specifications from Infrastructure Ontario.”

For several years, the Renfrew detachment of the OPP has worked out of two joint locations.

Headquarters are in the municipal building on Rag-

Home Hardware also sponsored, for a decade, the gift pails provided to new residents at the Renfrew Newcomers Night.

“It was pretty exciting because it’s national in scope,” said Karen of the Thursday night presentation at the Sheraton Hotel near the Toronto airport.

She said it was particularly gratifying to receive the award because “it’s the first time our business has been recognized for something Steve and I have achieved together.

“It is also special because we moved to Renfrew 16 years ago and have seen the way the community has supported us. It just kind of ties the bow on the present.”

Looking on during the award presentation were Karen’s parents, Larry and Marilyn MacNeill of Rhoddy’s Bay.

Continued from front Some confusion has remained because, in some places, the tracks remain

It is possible, said Moreau, the county would build the new home for the OPP and in turn lease the building to the OPP. This is a practice for several OPP detachments, said Moreau.

At county council’s Oct. 26 meeting, council authorized the Real Property

In the southeast end of Renfrew, the tracks remain in place along with railway signals, since disman-

tling of those rails isn’t expected to happen until 2012.

Therefore, OPP enforcement will remain in place at the Hall Avenue, O’Brien Road and Gillan Road crossings.

ARNPRIOR BUILDING County council has also authorized the assets division to spend up to $50,000 to investigate the possible purchase and renovation of the property at 80 McGonigal St. in Arnprior.

The county’s preliminary work will include a building assessment, legal fees and possibly preliminary design work.

Without being too specific, Moreau said the building is a possible home for services already provided by the county elsewhere.

The one-storey building on McGonigal is about 5,800 square feet.

LUCY HASS lucy.hass@metroland.com

Meredith Brown is passionate about the Ottawa River, so much so that she spent much of this past summer learning all about it.

Now she wants share what she has learned and encourage more people to care about the Ottawa River and its tributaries.

As she describes it, the goal is to “find ways to bring the river, its people and its issues to a wider audience.”

Brown was a driving force behind The Great River Project, a journey that began July 4 in Temiskaming and wrapped up where the Ottawa River meets the St. Lawrence River at Montreal.

Last week Brown took her expedition to the Renfrew Public Library and a room full of river enthusiasts.

To open, she gave a brief Power Point presentation on the non-governmental, not-for-profit Ottawa Riverkeeper organization, part of a broader international group known as the Waterkeepers Alliance.

“Riverkeeper really exists to protect and promote the ecological health of the Ottawa River … and the tributaries that flow into the Ottawa River,” she said.

“We work collaboratively to bring science-based information to the public and to decision-makers.

We promote compliance with existing laws and regulations that are there to protect our water,” she said.

“We raise awareness. We try to empower people to

Riverkeeper Meredith Brown outlines the five legs of The Great River Project trip. act at the individual level, at the municipal level, at the provincial and federal level, and, essentially, really try to bring the river to people to understand why it’s important, how beautiful it is and how we can all benefit from it.

And, in fact, how we are already benefitting from it,” Brown said.

Brown’s role as Riverkeeper is to promote that objective. Enter The Great River Project.

Brown explained how The Great River Project came to be, it goals, core participants, observations and what is next.

The Ottawa River watershed area is 145,000 square kilometres with more than

200 municipalities within its boundaries.

“It’s bigger than many countries in the world,” Brown noted.

The length of the river is 1,271 kilometres from its source to the confluence of the St. Lawrence River at Montreal.

The Great River Project journey covered about 900 of those kilometres in a five-leg expedition. Each leg featured a different focus and involved different participants.

The first one-week leg went from Fort Temiskaming to Mattawa; second leg four days from Mattawa to Swisha; third leg Swisha to Portage-du-fort; fourth leg Chenaux to Ottawa;

and the final leg Ottawa to Montreal. The first four legs were paddled by canoe. The last section was covered by motor boat.

Brown was especially proud of the ‘future leaders’ trip from Swisha to the Chenaux Dam at Portage-du-fort that lasted eight days and included students ages 14 to 17. She said it’s important to recognize the importance of training future generations to protect the river.

CHALLENGES The challenges faced by the river range from such impacts as municipal sewage and pulp mills to dams and shoreline alterations.

“There are huge challenges in dealing with these in the fact we have multiple jurisdictions,” she added.

“It’s very complex and really very little information sharing and accountability amongst all the different agencies and players.”

“There’s no shared vision; there’s no watershed management for the Ottawa River,” she said, describing the approach to date as piecemeal.

“If we want to protect the Ottawa River it has to be collective action. We need action at the municipal level, the provincial level and the federal level.

We really need team effort here,” she said.

During The Great River Project, the river was assessed through regular water monitoring. Analyses of those results have yet to be compiled.

The journey also celebrated the river’s historic significance.

Photographer Mike Bidel, who volunteered his time and expertise to capture the entire experience, is expected to publish a book on the journey.

Brown’s presentation was the second in a five-part Nature in Your Neighbourhood series, a collaborative initiative of the Ottawa River Institute and the Bonnechere River Watershed project, in partnership with the libraries of the Bonnechere watershed. The series is funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation.

The next free presentation is Farming with the Natural Environment, with local farmer Bob Dobson, at Nov. 10 at 7 p.m.

at the Admaston-Bromley Library in Douglas.

THE RIVERKEEPER As designated Riverkeeper for the past seven years, Brown is part of a broad initiative to protect rivers around the world.

During Thursday’s gathering, she gave special recognition to local members of River Watch.

“I can’t be everywhere and one person, one organization, can’t really protect the river, so we have started to develop this group we call River Watchers. They’re essentially individuals, or sometimes organizations, in different communities up and down the river, who are eyes and ears on the river, who are speaking up at the local level,” Brown said.

The North Bay native studied biology and environmental engineering at Queen’s University in Kingston and at the University of Guelph.

She also attended Simon Fraser University where she studied with river engineer and stream restoration specialist Robert Newbury.

She has a masters degree in resource and environmental management.

Brown’s experience includes working with multiple levels of government on issues such as dam removal and determining in-stream flow targets on regulated rivers.

Prior to Brown’s address, Cheryl Keetch of the Ottawa River Institute shared information on the Renfrew County Biotabase – a comprehensive online database of county flora and fauna.

An Ottawa River Odyssey

Renfrew County

Lengthy discussion about surplus-deficit policy STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

The lengthy discussion at the April 18, 2011 meeting of the county’s finance and administration committee asked such questions as: Was the county’s budget too high? And could the county be drawing more funds from reserves to further reduce the county’s tax rate?

At the same April meeting, staff was directed to bring forward a discussion paper on surplus-deficit policy, along with recommendations.

With those recommendations brought forward for approval at Renfrew County council Oct. 26, discussion was again lengthy.

Conclusions of the staff ’s review included the preference to adopt an early budget, before Jan. 31, if not sooner.

FOURTH RECOMMENDATION CHALLENGED Four recommendations were made, but some county councillors, including Janice Visneskie of Killaloe, Hagarty

and Richards and Raye-Anne Briscoe of Admaston-Bromley, indicated they would not support the recommendation package unless the final recommendation was altered.

The fourth recommendation recommended early passage of the annual budget, as early as pre-Dec. 31.

But Visneskie asked that the fourth recommendation also say that an early budget be pursued with available forecasted actuals from each department for the previous year.

County councillors were very amenable to the suggestion, but recommendations will be fine-tuned at November’s finance and administration committee.

The recommendations are now expected to be brought forward for county approval on Nov. 30.

The review’s first three recommendations were: 1. Develop a capital asset management plan for all significant assets owned and maintained by the county.

2. Develop a long-term financing plan to provide for the replacement of the above assets.

3. Continue the surplus-deficit policy in its present form.

The recommendations were made after the review concluded that the surplusdeficit policy is working as intended.

Staff also concluded that county reserves are not too high.

In fact, the discussion paper concluded that “our reserve levels are drastically lower than the average of our own lower-tier municipalities and slightly lower than the average of the other Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus members. In addition, our reserve levels are substantially lower than the median and the average of the southern upper-tier municipalities … according to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.”

The discussion paper also concluded that the historical level of the Renfrew County surplus (one per cent) is reasonable, given the size of the municipality.

“The fact that we experience only a one per cent deviation from our expected year-end position,” said the review report, “is a reflection of the commitment that the management team has made to budget adherence.”

Finance committee chair Briscoe told The Mercury another “overriding concern” is the need to “write in” the county’s responsibility to share provincial uploading savings with the county’s 17 lower-tier municipalities.

“They have to share in any benefits accrued from uploading from the province because the municipalities helped pay for them in the first place,” Briscoe told The Mercury.

Having a firm surplus-deficit policy is a fundamental part of county financing, she explained.

“What are you going to do in hard times? What are you going to do in good times?” said Briscoe, noting those questions have been asked in the past, but “not with (written) policy that people can have confidence in from year to year.

We’re almost there.”

The recommendations should be finetuned at the Nov. 21 finance committee meeting.

Since Briscoe is recovering from Oct. 28 knee surgery, vice-chair Walter Stack will chair that meeting.

County council supports Renfrew’s bid for Connecting Link funding

Paramedic found not guilty STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Paramedic Shawn Doyle, who was founded not guilty of sexual assault in an Ottawa courtroom Oct. 26, will soon return to front-line patient care.

Doyle, who works out of the Renfrew base for the Renfrew County paramedic service, had been on administrative duties since the Ottawa Police Service proceeded with one charge of sexual assault on May 11, 2011.

Doyle, who lives in the Arnprior area, was assigned administrative duties since April 20, 2011, when the County of Renfrew was informed that the Ottawa Police Service had received a complaint from a female patient.

It was also the first charge ever laid against a Renfrew County paramedic, said Mike Nolan, chief paramedic and director of Renfrew County emergency services.

Nolan also said the case underlines

“the element of risk of liability and misperception” on the job.

Doyle will undergo standard clinical analysis before returning to frontline duty.

“When someone has been out of (front-line duty) for 18 months, we have a process to validate their knowledge and skills on the job,” said Nolan.

That process is expected to be complete within a few weeks.

Nolan referred to Doyle as an exemplary employee. He is also one of about 140 Renfrew County paramedics, In an official news release from Renfrew County, Nolan said, “On behalf of the paramedic service, I want to thank all parties involved in this very stressful situation.

“Both Mr. Doyle and his colleagues displayed professionalism and integrity during the past year. It is regrettable that a County of Renfrew paramedic faced this legal hurdle, but I am pleased with the outcome of the trial.”

Renfrew County council has agreed to formally support Renfrew’s application to the province for Connecting Link funding. The money would be for a master transportation study of the roads linked to Highways 60 and 132.

It’s hoped the study, at an estimated cost of $160,000, will help provide possible solutions to congestion issues, particularly at Confusion Corner.

Confusion Corner is the nickname for the intersection where Hall Avenue, Raglan Street and Veterans Memorial Boulevard meet.

The intersection has been the scene of many accidents and several nearmisses.

County council unanimously approved support of the application Oct. 26.

Transport Pontiac-Renfrew is one step closer to eventually creating a commuter rail link between Pembroke and the Ottawa VIA Rail station.

On Oct. 26, city council gave its consent for TPR to acquire and operate the 32 kilometres of the rail line – known as the Beachburg Subdivision – that lay within the city’s boundaries.

It runs through West Carleton and Kanata and ends in Nepean, near Walkley Road, but TPR would look at acquiring “running rights” to use other tracks to get people to the VIA station on Tremblay Road in the city’s east end.

It was the final approval out of nine municipalities the group needed to move forward with a plan to buy the line and use it to run more freight routes – and eventually, a commuter rail service.

“It is essential,” TPR’s Terry Gibeau, former mayor of Arnprior, said of the city’s approval.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said a survey taken in the Ottawa Valley indicated a commuter line would attract several hundred riders.

“Kanata people would be able to get on there if they wanted to – it would be in the business park,” she said. “I think it could be very useful in Kanata, especially the Kanata Business

Park.”

Ottawa doesn’t want to have any liability for the project, according to the motion passed by city council.

But it’s an idea that has some support around the council horseshoe, including from deputy mayor and West Carleton Coun. Eli El-Chantiry.

El-Chantiry, who sits on TPR’s board of directors, said the initiative is a “very credible” one.

“Those tracks are very important to us … We don’t want to make the same mistakes our predecessors made by pulling them,” he said.

More than 10,000 people commute to Ottawa from the Valley, and a TPR study found that 25 per cent of those commuters would use the rail system instead, El-Chantiry said.

Gibeau said CN Rail is set to sell the line to TPR. That could happen as early as January of 2012.

In the short term, that will mean more freight shipping and therefore, more jobs in the Ottawa Valley, Gibeau said.

CN is only running the line one day per week for freight, and TPR would have it run seven days a week, Gibeau said.

A short line owned by a smaller, local group would also provide better service and hopefully attract more companies who would want to use the line to ship their goods, Gibeau added.

“But we haven’t lost sight of

the fact that we want to get into a commuter service,” he said.

Gibeau is setting his sights a year and a half into the future.

That’s when he says TPR could be ready to run a commuter rail service through the valley, starting in Pembroke and ending in Nepean.

The line runs from Pembroke through Beachburg to Renfrew County before skirting into the Pontiac in Quebec. It crosses back into Ontario at Fitzroy Harbour before heading to Nepean, so there would be a number of commuter stops in Ottawa, Gibeau said.

TPR will also resume talks with OC Transpo about offering bus passes along with the commuter rail fare, so travelers can reach their final destination.

Those talks were going well a couple of years ago, Gibeau said.

“It will probably add to OC Transpo’s business,” he mused, and it could take pressure off OC’s park-and-ride lots.

James Allen, a former rail manager and consultant for TPR, said the commuter line could have a “very dramatic impact” on OC Transpo and how the transit authority distributes its service in areas where TPR and OC Transpo could overlap.

The heavy commuter rail line and the proposed path of Ottawa’s planned light-rail system don’t intersect.

It has not been a good month for chief administrative officers of Renfrew County municipalities.

Angela Yolkowskie of Greater Madawaska Township (in Calabogie), Larry Donaldson for the Town of Arnprior and Pat Pilgrim at Madawaska Valley Township (in Barry’s Bay) were each relieved of their duties in October.

The most recent was Yolkowskie, who previously worked several years for the administrative staff of neighbouring Admaston-Bromley. Her position with Greater Madawaska ended Oct. 25.

She started work with Greater Madawaska in January 2009 after the previous CAO, John Baird, left to become the CAO with Laurentian Valley Township near Pembroke.

“Council, in reviewing our priorities and plans for the progress of the municipality, decided it was best to look for someone else to fill the role of CAO,” said Emon.

Emon suggested that person needs to be responsive in the quickly-evolving municipal world with such matters as working with existing funds and knowing where to find other funding sources.

“We recognize it’s not a good situation,” added Emon, “for someone to be told that their employer is looking for someone else, but council recognized they needed to find someone else for that position.”

In a news release from Greater Madawaska, Emon said, “Ms. Yolkowskie’s position was terminated without cause. Our council will begin an orderly and careful process of searching for a replacement in the near future.”

A retired administrator is expected to temporarily fill the vacancy until a new CAO is hired.

Council also appointed treasurer Allison Holtzhauer Oct. 27 as the interim clerk. She will handle the clerk’s duties until a retired municipal administrator is hired to temporarily fill the vacancy.

Contrary to rumour, Emon says that person is not former Renfrew County CAO Norm Lemke. The retired administrator is scheduled to work for the township until a full-time CAO is hired.

ARNPRIOR’S CAO Larry Donaldson, who was Arnprior’s CAO for 10 years, was let go Oct. 20.

Arnprior Mayor David Reid said the dismissal wasn’t “with cause.” He said the move was analogous to a hockey team needing to change coaches.

“We determined we wanted a new voice, a new start,” said Reid. “Larry has a lot of skills, a lot of knowledge. Sometimes you need fresh blood.”

Earlier in the month, Madawaska Valley released Pat Pilgrim from her CAO duties.

son declared Oct. 28 Rick Hansen Relay Day in the city. The tour then moved on to Carleton Place, Smiths Falls and Kingston on the weekend.

Dillabough says she remembers the original tour passing through the area in 1986, never thinking that 25 years later she would be involved in an anniversary relay. “It was pretty cool,” she said.

People can make a difference in their communities by volunteering.

That was the message Patti Dillabough returned to Renfrew with after the “unbelievable experience” of running through Ottawa last Friday with the Man in Motion Rick Hansen.

The Renfrew woman was nominated to take part in Hansen’s 25th anniversary tour because of her many volunteer contributions on behalf of people with disabilities.

She ran a 500-metre leg of the relay pushing her daughter, Paige, in a wheelchair. Paige’s battle with disabilities brought on by cancer has prompted the whole family to actively support a number of charitable causes, from Candlelighters (helping children with cancer) to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO).

Because of her activism, Patti was one of six Bell Canada employees in Ontario chosen to run in the relay.

“It was very inspiring,” she

said. “The opportunity (for her and Paige) to meet him (Hansen) was incredible … very exciting.”

Hansen thanked Dillabough and the other participants for helping in their communities and told them that “regardless of what you do, if you volunteer, you’re making a difference.”

About 7,000 “differencemakers” have been selected to run, walk or wheel alongside the wheelchair-bound Hansen in the relay. “They decided to celebrate difference-makers across Canada because he is such a difference-maker himself,” Dillabough said.

His original world tour raised money and awareness for people with spinal cord injuries and resulted in new understanding for the accessibility needs of all disabled. The 25th anniversary relay is building on the progress made in the first tour.

Three of the 15 participants in Dillabough’s group were on the original tour, she said, noting it was exciting to hear their stories first-hand.

As a runner, Dillabough

Informative youth suicide prevention session hits home with Renfrew crowd at St. Joseph’s High School peter.clark@metroland.com

Chairs were set up for a crowd of about 250 people for a youth suicide prevention forum sponsored by the Renfrew OPP and Renfrew Police Services Board in the cafeteria at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School last Wednesday evening.

“We had about 10 calls today (Wednesday) from people outside of town,” SJCHS principal Brennan Trainor said of the interest.

The gathering heard from Annmarie Nicholson, director of volunteer services and trainer of applied suicide intervention skill from the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group; James Thomas, who lost his sister to suicide; and Renfrew’s Tom Sidney, current youth worker at Bishop Smith Catholic High School in Pembroke.

“I’m not surprised to see a great community response. It’s very heartening. It shows that you care,” Nicholson said to open up the session.

She told a story about, when she was 16, driving a classmate home from school after they learned in the middle of class that a best friend of that classmate had committed suicide.

“I felt so helpless. I didn’t know what to say, what to do,” Nicholson said.

“I never felt so helpless before or since. Her best friend impacted me more. I got into this business from that experience.”

Nicholson asked those in the audience who took a school bus to school, if they remembered their first trip, the many rows of seats in the bus.

“Three school bus loads of youth we will lose this year.

That’s a lot of years lost,” she said.

DEALING WITH HIS LOSS James Thomas had the undivided attention of the room when he spoke of sister Chantel’s suicide six years ago, and when his mother informed him.

“I’ll never forget it. My little sister had committed suicide.

“You got through, what if I had done this, what if I had done that. I was never going to see her again, ever.”

In time, Thomas has taken some good out of it.

“That’s why I’m here. It takes time to grow through the healing process. It’s good to talk about it.”

Thomas went around to Chantel’s friends for information.

“I found out she was sexually abused, and (had) held that deep inside of her. She was into drugs, stuck in a downward spiral. She was diagnosed with a mental

disease. It pulled her away from herself.

“She showed all the (suicidal) signs,” Thomas added.

“Over time, she got more and more comfortable with death.

She told friends but asked them not to tell.”

“She was an amazing person,” Thomas said. “She was distorted and didn’t realize it.”

“It’s something they don’t realize. It doesn’t end their pain. It (suicide) just spreads (the pain) out to everyone else.”

Thomas said communication is vital to suicide prevention.

“We can learn from each other. My biggest regret is I didn’t spend more time with Chantel.

Supporting her could have been the difference.

“Show appreciation and love for the people around you,” Thomas added. “You never know when they could be gone.

“Learn more about mental illness and what people are going through. They have so much to give.

“You are here tonight, standing up to help those around you,” he concluded.

“Supporting one another is so important,” Nicholson said.

“Suicide is caused by loss. Everyone experiences loss every day from children to senior citizens.

“I am convinced adolescence, going through so many things at one time, is the most difficult stage in life. Kids do things differently than parents do. There are many challenges youth have to overcome.”

Nicholson said, talk to your kids. Show interest in what they do. Find an activity that gets them talking. Maybe it’s a drive in the car. In her family, it’s a game of ping-pong.

“Ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask them directly about suicide, or indirectly. ‘It sounds like you are going through a tough time.’”

Adds Nicholson, “Make sure they know that you care, and that with help, they can make it through this.”

take note. Talk to them about what’s on there.”

Sidney says they have an honour code (but), “It’s much better to have a friend mad at me, than a friend that’s dead.

“Technology is a great tool if used properly,” he added.

Nicholson had a few parting words of wisdom before closing out the evening.

“A decision that makes you unpopular is not always the wrong decision. In fact, it’s often the right decision.”

And to those who suffer, she added, “Anyone in this room who has lost someone to suicide, it is not your fault.”

James Thomas, who lost his sister to suicide six years ago, and Annmarie Nicholson of the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group, were keynote speakers at the youth suicide prevention information session.

Happy hunting

Femicide is a very real issue

The annual gun deer hunt opens this Monday, Nov. 7 in Renfrew County; a time that is all about friends, family and filling the freezer.

Most hunt camps are steeped in rich tradition.

They are a treasury of rich storytelling, with tales handed down from generation to generation, of happy hunts, stormy elements, the natural beauty of the great outdoors and boisterous evenings of cards and camaraderie.

Aside from being an intergral part of our Ottawa Valley culture, the deer hunt is also a driver of our autumn economy as businesses from gas stations and hardware outlets to restaurants and grocery stores see a spike in business.

Hunters also make an important contribution to conservation by helping to maintain the balance of species.

As the Ministry of Natural Resources website explains, “Legal hunting does not endanger wildlife populations. In fact, it can play an important role in maintaining an abundant population within the carrying capacity of its habitat.”

Yet for all its benefits, there are clear risks associated with hunting. It is critical that all hunters respect and follow the rules created to regulate wildlife management, ensure a humane harvest, and keep hunters and the general public safe.

Whether you hunt for food or friendship, best of luck to all hunters – whether resident or visitor – who hit the deer trails over the coming two weeks. Have a safe and happy hunt.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Thanks to Cheryl for her perseverence on gun issue To the editor: Well, folks, at long last, the most insidious piece of firearm legislation ever enacted in Canadian history is about to be abolished by the federal Conservatives.

Moreover, the personal information collected on seven million Canadians under this legislation is slated to be destroyed as well, despite Liberal and NDP objections.

Nevertheless, I hope PM Harper will take the further step of revealing in the house of commons (point by point) exactly what the Liberals put in Bill C68 – because this legislation violates every right and freedom in our Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and the public should be made aware of this.

Indeed, we either have these rights and freedoms or we do not, but as they ARE enshrined in LAW people need to realize that the Liberals deliberately ignored them.

That being said, there is one side to this issue which reflects most favourably upon our recently re elected representative Cheryl Gallant.

To her everlasting credit, Mrs. Gallant has maintained from its very inception, a

vocal, single minded opposition to Bill C68 despite years of personal attacks and partisan sniping.

Nevertheless, she remained resolute on behalf of not only her constituents, but in a larger sense, the people of Canada as well, expressing and defending her controversial position against all comers, because she understood full well that the many unconstitutional sections in Bill C68, represented not only a nullification of our rights and freedoms, but laid the foundation to legitimize a future tyranny.

Fortuitously for us, she possessed the force of character and resolve every fighting man would regard as someone they could rely upon to defend a position with her last breath.

Unlike Mrs. Gallant, however, demands are already afoot by Liberal and NDP politicians, who want the massive information contained in firearm databases to create provincial gun registries in Quebec and Ontario, because their premiers intend to force this on the people whether they like it or not.

As for opposition from RCMP and OPP spokesmen who say Bill C68 has been a “useful tool” in combating crime, I disagree, and the facts will back me up.

Indeed, if Bill C68 has achieved anything, it’s been in the area of violating the rights and freedoms of law abiding citizens, with negligible effect on its stated purpose of combating crime, and when police agencies have a “useful tool” of this magnitude at their disposal, backed by force of law, they certainly do not want to see it abolished.

To sum up, every citizen, whether they own firearms or not, should now look past the gun registry alone, to consider what PM Harper is REALLY doing, and to what Cheryl Gallant has fought for all these years, which is protecting the rights and freedoms of all Canadian by ending Bill C68.

Well done, Cheryl. You have kept your promise to us, and speaking for every gun owner, be assured, we wholeheartedly commend your ultimate triumph on our behalf.

To the editor: There is a pre-meditated murder about to happen in Canada.

It is the murder of the long gun registry.

The long gun registry is a public safety tool – a woman’s safety tool and it is about to be killed.

We watch, we wait and we do nothing. Imagine how many gun licenses were refused on the basis of background checks triggered when men went to register their weapons – more than 1,500 in a three-year period.

The majority of refused licences were denied because of a deemed risk to others.

We watch, we wait and we do nothing. Imagine how many women and children in Renfrew County are threatened in our homes with a gun.

After 20 years of listening to women, I can assure you that there are many. Rural and farm women who experience violence in the home describe a cycle of intimidation with guns.

That intimidation makes it very difficult to report abuse.

When reports are made and police come, now they will have no idea if there are weapons in the home.

Violence against women and children is a very real and serious issue in Renfrew County and women and children’s lives are on the line. Femicide is a very real issue. We watch, we wait and we do nothing. There is a murder in Canada about to happen. And there won’t be enough roses in this country to mark the loss.

As this is my first column since the Oct. 6 provincial election, I’ll start by extending a warm and heartfelt thank you to all those who expressed their confidence by returning me to Queen’s Park once again.

And even though the level of support was incredibly gratifying, I must make the point that such a result will never be taken as a reason for complacency on my part, but rather as a call for the continuation of the hard work I hope many of you feel I bring to the table as your elected member in the Ontario Legislature.

I am honoured by your support, and pledge to move forward with my very best efforts on your behalf and on behalf of the people of Ontario.

As you may be aware, the night of Oct. 6 was bittersweet for Vicky and myself, if bittersweet can be taken as the correct term.

Vicky’s brother, Rob, was taken from us that same day, and his passing remains a difficult blow to absorb.

Still very much a young man, Rob’s loss at age 51 defies an easy explanation, and only serves to illustrate and remind us that we know not the hour or the day. As it is, we place his fate and ours in God’s hands, and we move forward.

Vicky and I have been incredibly touched by the outpouring of support and condolences we’ve received from all over the riding, and it brings us a great measure of comfort to know that we are in the hearts and prayers of so

freedoms away, and degrade the beauty of life as they do so.

We fight, not for riches, nor territory, nor to plunder from others what is not rightfully ours.

We fight, rather, so that others may be free.

I plan to attend the many Remembrance Day observances that will be held across the riding in the next couple of weeks, and encourage all readers to do the same in their communities. It’s part of our shared responsibility as citizens to demonstrate our deep appreciation for the sacrifices that have been made on our behalf by men and women who have placed themselves in harm’s way to defend a nation, it’s people, and the principles for which it stands.

Cenotaphs across Renfrew County bear the names of brave people dear to us who have paid the most costly price, that of their very lives, in defence of the Canadian flag and all it stands for.

Truly, it is only right we honour them, take note of their names, and honour their sacrifice.

As well, we must remain further committed to the support of our troops in Afghanistan, to pray for their safety in-theatre, and for their safe return home. As we transition to a new role in that war-torn country, we must continue to honour those who bear our flag on their uniform, and do all we can to ensure that their arrival home is both safe and sound.

Be sure to wear a poppy and thank any veteran you meet through Remembrance week and every day of the year.

R0041133540

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP

many people who wish us well in our time of sadness.

Your efforts to reach out to us, and share the comfort of your love and companionship, will remain with us always.

We are so thankful to count ourselves members of such a warm and caring community, and wish to indicate our most profound gratitude.

I entered into the election period as the Opposition House Leader, and I’ve emerged as the Opposition Whip, a position significant with responsibility and made only more so in the environment of a minority parliament.

I recognize the confidence that my party leader, Tim Hudak, has placed in me, and will endeavour to carry out my new responsibilities in a manner consistent with the responsibilities I’ve carried to this point on behalf of my constituents, my party, and as a member of the Ontario Legislature.

Mr. Hudak has placed a lot of faith in me, and it’s my intent to demonstrate that faith as being justified.

As we enter November, we enter the period of Remembrance, a time of reflection and thanks. We are blessed to be citizens of the greatest nation on Earth, a nation well-regarded as one of peace, but well-respected as one willing to make the necessary sacrifice to defend what we consider to be basic and fundamental human precepts, prominent among them the idea of freedom.

And while peace-loving, we are a proud people who will rise to fight in defence of those who become threatened by others intent on taking these

Football forever for this Canadian I’m not your typical Canadian; as much as I enjoy skating on an outdoor rink, hockey is not my sport of choice. For me, football (British, but especially North American) are my sports of choice.

It wasn’t always that way.

When I was younger, Sunday afternoons were dedicated to watching the NFL; for my sister and I, easily bored, it seemed senseless to watch hours of people running, stopping, and basically making very little progress one way or another. Yet television was limited to weekends, and since TV was still a wonder in our eyes, we stuck with it.

After all, boring TV was better than no TV. And am I ever glad we stuck with it. I can’t explain what changed in the last 10 years to make me love it so much, except that as I grew and matured, my concept of football as a sport did so as well.

After all, a football team is a Herculean effort. And as my values solidified, I came to realize that, though it can be violent and competitive, it isn’t just about beating other teams, or making one guy a star. In hockey, you can have one amazing player

REBEKA BORSHEVSKY SKY’S THE LIMIT that gets all the goals and everyone else rides on his coattails to victory.

In football, you can’t do that.

You may have a star quarterback, but if his receivers aren’t looking at him, and if his offensive line is as woozy as half-asleep schoolchildren, all he can do is throw the ball away or, in the worst case scenario, get sacked.

He can try to run the field, but to do that repeatedly would be exhausting. It takes the accuracy and awareness of all on a team to make certain it gets far.

That sort of team effort and the sort of brotherhood that exists among the players just really caught my admiration, perhaps because family is so important to me. Football helped me connect with my dad, and friends of my mom have their sons enrolled in an after-school league, and they all go out as a family to watch them play. The boys love it, and it’s awesome to see them so proud of their accomplishments.

Football has also been my saviour in gym class. While I kick crooked in soccer and can’t even hit a birdie in badminton, my love for football has led me to a general level of competency in throwing and catching. To be so non-athletic and yet shine even a little bit in a sport – especially a guy-dominated sport – is very rewarding. Football didn’t make a fool out of me, and to everyone’s shock, I actually knew something about it.

When people learn I love football, they always ask what team I cheer for. I tell them Pittsburgh, forever and always – ever since the game where their former head coach Bob Cowher got doused with green slime that slightly resembled Gatorade. For some reason, my 12-year-old self just loved that.

So there are a lot of reasons why I love football, other than the fact that I’m trying to distinguish myself from the majority of hockey-loving Canadians.

If you’ve never given football another thought other than to change the channel, take another look. It’s not about babes and beer. It’s about tackling, touchdowns and, most of all, the triumph of those who love it.

The word gremlin strikes again Words are a tricky thing. They can jump up and bite you if you don’t pay attention.

Take, for example, last week’s paper. In writing an article about Admaston-Bromley council struggling with an issue, I reached into thin air for a word to stress the mayor’s frustration.

I knew what I meant to say, it was rolling around in my head like a silver ball in a pinball machine – roll, kick off a flipper, bounce and then run straight down the drain.

Rather than re-set the plunger with another ball (word) I just walked away from the game, the way writers are inclined to do when in full-steam mode.

You’ll catch it later, you say to yourself. Wrong.

I meant, of course, to write that the mayor’s frustration was palpable.

But, no, my busy little brain wouldn’t spit that word out against deadline.

Instead I wrote that her frustration was palatable.

Now that can mean one of two things.

1. Agreeable.

That definitely wasn’t the message.

2. Agreeable to the taste or palate.

Even less the message.

Now I’ve yet to pull a Sarah Palin and create a whole new word, like refudiate.

Rather than admit she was wrong, she preferred to liken

LUCY HASS MISCELLANY herself to Shakespeare and take pride in her blunder. Hey, she just made up a new word!

I’ve committed my share of malapropisms and willing to admit the error of my ways.

Like singing the wrong words to an old song, it just happens sometimes and you get comfortable with the sound.

But that doesn’t make it right.

A bookshelf at home contains a New York Times compilation of everyday misunderstood, misused and mispronounced words.

It is a listing of more than 14,000 difficult or unusual words.

I checked for my demon word and, sure enough, it was there.

Palpable – capable of being readily perceived by the senses or the mind; evident.

Olive Phillips, a former RCI English teacher and loyal Renfrew Mercury reader, left a kind voicemail complimenting other coverage in the newspaper, then gently noting my error.

It was the kind of voicemail that warms a writer’s heart because it means, above all, that you’re being read.

Praise or criticism, feedback is always a good thing. It makes us better, keeps us on our toes, and sometimes inspires even more writing.

Glenda McKay. Renfrew County and others provided the balance.

The expanded service came at no cost to the township.

Bell Aliant added a fourth site at Springtown in the County Road 508 corridor at no additional cost, which complemented work done by Bell Aliant as part of the McNab-Braeside Rural Connections project. “This filled the coverage gap along both sides of the Madawaska River, from Burnstown to Calabogie, and provided high speed service for an additional 150 businesses, residents and cottagers,� Parker noted. “It’s been an amazing difference.�

An Internet Showcase public awareness event, held in the fall of 2009 at the Calabogie Community Centre, was hosted by Parker and a committee of eight.

McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell was on hand Thursday and congratulated Greater Madawaska on this project. She said Greater Madawaska was the first on board, “and inspired the rest of the communities.�

Parker and Emon had a vision and the rest of the county took notice, Campbell added. “It’s nice to take the accolades on behalf of the community, but it is Bruce and his volunteers

that deserve the credit,� Emon said.

The township received congratulations from Renfrew County Warden Bob Sweet, MP Cheryl Gallant and MPP John Yakabuski. “The successful completion of the broadband project by the municipality shows the commitment to the Ottawa Valley so that the area can continue to prosper and succeed,� Yakabuski said. “High-speed Internet to this region will bring access to information for area residences, and expand educational resources for area schools, as well as provide growth for local businesses to reach a global market.� “(It’s) nice to see it done, and done well,� Parker said. “Bell Aliant has done a nice job getting it done.�

This was Parker’s third successful Rural Connections project. He also completed projects in Laurentian Valley and McNabBraeside. “Greater Madawaska had more community support than any of the other communities. It shows how they were behind it,�

Parker observed. “Technology changes all the time. It’s only going to get better, and faster.�

Yolkowskie is named.

Mayor Peter Emon thanked Yolkowskie for her service to the municipality and the community.

Also at council, Greater Mada-

waska fire chief Betsy Sayers was named community emergency management co-ordinator, and John Fitchett municipal bylaw enforcement officer for the township.

Greater Madawaska was the first township in Renfrew County to pursue improved Internet service in 2006.

Five years later, that vision of high speed Internet service has become reality.

The completion of this Rural Connections project, which extends high speed Internet to 30 per cent of the township’s population, the majority of its home-based businesses, several key tourism businesses, and is available to more than 620 households, was announced at council chambers last Thursday afternoon, Oct. 27.

Greater Madawaska Mayor Peter Emon congratulated the council of the day, as well as project manager Bruce Parker and former CAO John Baird for their contributions. “We were very fortunate to have (Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) broadband co-ordinator for eastern Ontario) Rick Hansen’s support,� added Emon.

He also thanked to all the volunteers who helped make this project successful.

The Economic Development Committee of citizen volunteers’ chairman at the time was Parker.

He volunteered his services as the township’s broadband project manager in June 2008.

By OMAFRA’s Sept. 18 deadline of this year, the municipality submitted an application for Intake One of Rural Connections – a provincial government program providing up to one-third subsidy for the installation of high-speed Internet infrastructure in rural Ontario.

The Rural Connections application included plans for the wire-line DSL high-speed Internet service in three areas: the eastern end of Black Donald Lake, the previously unserviced two-thirds of the area surrounding Calabogie Lake, and the populated area extending east from Calabogie to Norway Lake.

Parker explained.

The total budget was $695,155.

OMAFRA committed $230,413, and Bell Aliant provided more than $415,000. Contributions from volunteers, the Calabogie and Area Business Association,

Missing in action are Marcus Magdalena’s twin Jayne Stevenson, Angela Kluke, Murray Adolph, Sean Anderson, Christine Perri, Donovan Adolph and Sherry Haaima. Each of these people, in their own way, have supported Memoirs of a Genderless Warrior.

Memoirs of a Genderless Warrior brings important issue into focus SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com

On the heels of an August performance that won rave reviews from audience members, Marcus Magdalena further explores the gender issue in the upcoming Memoirs of a Genderless Warrior in three shows in early November at the Neat Café in Burnstown.

“This is my second performance in over two decades,” says Marcus Magdalena. “What the audience is witnessing is a soul reclaiming their dreams and making them come true.”

These performances mark a return to theatre after almost 20 years.

“Predominantly working on my own, I have been creating plays since I was a child. I created plays in elementary school and did my own thing in high school. I could never go mainsteam,” says the Toronto native who is now a resident of Renfrew.

“This performance coming up is me reclaiming my power, my joy...my greatest passion, with next-to-no budget. My hope is to get funding or get the interest of the National Arts Centre to help make this

into something much, much bigger,” says Marcus Magdalena.

Memoirs is a walk down memory lane for Marcus Magdalena who found hope and life and love in a community of people that continues to support the project and the performer.

The presentation will be rich with threads from the tapestry of the performer’s life.

Having lived straight, gay, transgendered, transsexual, and finally genderless, Marcus Magdalena will bring an often controversial topic to the forefront.

Experiences of addiction, homelessness and depression are highlighted as part of Marcus Magdalena’s story, which is a theatrical medium of advocacy for the rights of all.

The presentation dates are Friday, Nov. 11 and Saturday, Nov. 12 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 13 at 2:30 p.m.

Reserving tickets is essential, say organizers, as seating is limited and it would really be a shame to see anyone turned away.

Reserve by phone or email – 613-4336955 OR goldenwarrior999@gmail.com .

Tickets are $10.

Shining up a Grey Cup ring If you are a fan of the Canadian Football League, I’m sure you’ve followed Steve Newman’s CFL series over the past three weeks.

It’s amazing the talent that resides throughout the region, and how many championship game appearances Jim Silye, Dale Potter and Frank Cosentino made, and the number of Grey Cup titles combined that they possess.

Harold Hummer Hume gave me a shout on Sunday and reminded me about the day I tried on one of those Grey Cup rings.

Back in the 1970s and ’80s, Dale Potter’s brother Billy played for the Alta Vista Ritchies baseball team. The Ritchies were in town reasonably often to take on the Renfrew Red Sox, or compete in the Red Sox tournament at the fairgrounds.

The Potter brothers’ father, Ross, was the manager of the Ritchies, and proudly wore one of Dale’s Grey Cup rings from

PETER CLARK PETER’S PUTTERINGS the five-year reign (1978-82) of the Edmonton Eskimos.

Ross handed it over to me so I could try it on. It was neat to say that I’d once worn a Grey Cup ring. Even more so since my team – the Ottawa Rough Riders – has never reclaimed possession of the Grey Cup since before that day, and obviously won’t any time soon.

Hoops history in Toronto: There was no action this past Tuesday (Nov. 1) when the 201112 National Basketball Association season was scheduled to open.

The hoops were up on Nov. 1, 1946. The Toronto Huskies were around only for one season in the Basketball Association of America, the forerunner to the NBA. But they hosted the first game in league history on that

date, a 68-66 loss to the New York Knickerbockers in front of 7,090 fans at Maple Leaf Gardens.

Ticket prices ranged from 75 cents to $2.50. On that night, anyone taller than George Nostrand, the tallest Husky at 6’8”, was given free admission.

The Huskies went 22-and-38 and missed the playoffs. * * * The St. Louis Cardinals are now the third team in the 2000era to overcome a 3-2 deficit to win the World Series.

It was last done previously by the Anaheim Angels, who came back to beat the San Francisco Giants in 2002.

The Arizona Diamondbacks also turned the trick against the New York Yankees the year before.

And for this week: Scott Niedermayer will become the third New Jersey Devil to have his sweater (27) retired on Dec. 16.

What other two Devils previous received this honour?

Hamilton quarterback Frank Cosentino, at left, rolls out of the pocket against the Ottawa Rough Riders.

Above: His playing card with Edmonton.

An eye for sport: Grey Cup champ, scholar, author This is the third in a three-part series on Ottawa Valley residents who played in the Canadian Football League, and their impressions of the CFL today.

STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

One of the last Canadian quarterbacks to see significant playing time in the Canadian Football League, Frank Cosentino is long since retired, but far from inactive.

The author of 15 books, on topics ranging from football and hockey to the history of Almonte, the Eganville resident is now working on his third major book on the Canadian Football League. The book is due out in 2012, during the 100th anniversary of the CFL. It has been more than 40 years since Cosentino retired from a CFL career that featured two Grey Cups with the Hamilton Tiger Cats. But football has remained a fixture in his life, as a coach, historian and fan.

He first played football in his hometown of Hamilton, Ont., where he had an inauspicious beginning in the sport, failing to make the first three teams he tried out for.

But he wasn’t dissuaded, especially when a growth spurt and successes as a baseball pitcher convinced others he might have quarterback potential.

About that time, his father died, leaving Cosentino reeling from the tragedy.

“I kind of went into a funk,” he recalls. “I didn’t do well in school.”

But life has a way of turning itself around. Growing about nine inches in Grade 11, he reached 6-foot-3, the same height he is today. He made the junior team that year, and the following season led the Cathedral High School seniors to the city football title.

At the time, he had no aspirations to play pro football. But he says sports may have saved him.

“Sports was a God-send,” he says. “If I hadn’t had basketball, baseball and football, I probably would have dropped out of school.”

Football continued when he headed off to the University of Western Ontario, but he still appeared headed for academic mediocrity, or worse.

Looking back, Cosentino said someone needed to light a fire under him, and that person turned out to be Monsignor Wemple, the dean at the university’s King’s College. Called into his office, Cosentino was told he had eight weeks to get his academic act in gear.

He did. By second year he earned a B average and was into business school, en route to a bachelor’s degree with honours.

But life was getting complicated. To pay his way through university, he worked with the Steel Company of Canada. Then, in his fourth year at Western, he and high school sweetheart Sheila McHugh (whose parents Charlie and Gertrude are from the Renfrew area) were married.

At university, he was holding his own as a quarterback, helping Western to two Yates Cups as the Ontario university football

CFL in the

VALLEY If I hadn’t had basketball, baseball and football, I probably would have dropped out of high school.

– Future scholar and CFL quarterback Frank Cosentino champion, including 1959 when they beat UBC for the Canadian university title.

He also emerged as the Hamilton Tiger Cats’ first draft pick, and his pro football career was underway.

Twice he emerged with Grey Cup rings, from Hamilton CFL titles in 1963 and 1965, when the team stars included defensive linemen John Barrow and Angelo Mosca, quarterbacks Bernie Faloney and Joe Zuger, and receiver Hal Patterson. The Cats went 10-4 each of those regular seasons, before prevailing 21-10 over the B.C. Lions in 1963, then 22-16 over Winnipeg two seasons later.

In 1963, Cosentino played his share during the regular season, but he never really got off the bench in the playoffs, except to hold for extra points.

In fact, one of his more exciting times as a Tiger-Cat includ-

ed the previous season. The date sticks in his mind: Oct. 15, 1962.

It was one of Joe Zuger’s first games as quarterback, after previously playing defensive halfback. But Zuger polished his resume that day, throwing eight touchdown passes in a crushing defeat of Saskatchewan, before leaving Cosentino enough playing time to throw two TD passes of his own.

But Cosentino’s best seasons, as an individual, weren’t when Hamilton won the Grey Cup, but with the Edmonton Eskimos in 1967 and ’68.

After winning less than half their games in 1967, the Esks finished 9-6-1 for third in the Western Conference as Cosentino started 14 times and finished off the other two regular-season games. The Esks then lost a onesided semi-final to Saskatchewan.

In 1967 he had one of his best statistical performances ever, completing something like 21 of 25 passes in a close loss to the Ottawa Rough Riders. That performance was followed by a visit to his hometown of Hamilton, where the Esks prevailed after star receiver Ted Watkins dropped a sure touchdown pass from Cosentino’s former teammate, Zuger.

The post-game coverage included a photo on the Globe & Mail’s front page of Cosentino hurdling a would-be tackler, as the caption referred to the former Tiger-Cat as Frankie Boy. “I guess I was a fan favourite in Hamilton, but I was a reliever there. I knew my role,” recalls Cosentino. “But I also had a rep-

utation for coming in and scoring a few touchdowns.”

During his CFL career, he completed 513 of 1,083 passes for a completion percentage of 47.4.

He also threw 48 TD passes and 73 interceptions. His best stats were in 1968 with the Esks when he completed 169 of 330 passes for 2,809 yards. Sixteen passes were for touchdowns.

Cosentino was also active on the sidelines. The same year he won his second Grey Cup, in 1965, Cosentino helped found the CFL Players Association.

In Edmonton, Cosentino says it was different and refreshing to be out of the local spotlight, after playing in his hometown.

But it wasn’t all rosy. There was a rough patch between him and head coach Neill Armstrong, who at one point decided to call all plays from the bench.

Following one shutout loss, Cosentino quipped to a reporter that he didn’t like losing, but that at least he knew his playcalling wasn’t to blame. He was hauled into Armstrong’s office and reprimanded.

That aside, throughout his football career, Cosentino says he carried his Christian faith with him. This included his customary prayer, during national anthems, to commit to playing the best he possibly could.

The third and last CFL team he played for was the Toronto Argonauts. While playing in Edmonton in 1967 and 1968, he worked on his master’s degree in the history of sport. Then he was dealt to Toronto.

Frank Cosentino at his Eganville home, where he does much of his writing.

Cosentino: Tiger-Cats, Esks, Argos Continued from Page 1 But first, he had the opportunity to accept a prestigious scholarship, retire from football, and finish his PhD at the University of Alberta. He elected to play one more season, with the Argos, before continuing his doctorate. It was a busy time, but Cosentino says it was made easier with Sheila â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;holding down the fortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at home with four kids.

In Toronto, Cosentino joined other striking Argonauts, as they held out for training-camp pay. They got the pay, and the Argos went on to place second behind the Ottawa Rough Riders, with the help of such long-haired renegades as Mel Profit, Dick Thornton and Dave Raimey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The spirit on the team was tremendous because all the players were where they wanted to be with the players they wanted to be with,â&#x20AC;? says Cosentino of the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;69 season, his last as a CFL player.

Tom Wilkinson was the starting QB, but Cosentino still saw plenty of action.

As proud as he is of his time as a pro player, he says the biggest moments in his life didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t involve the CFL. First has to be meeting and marrying Sheila. Second was the birth of their first child, Tony. And another big moment, reserved for football, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen in the CFL. Cosentino says it was winning the 1971 Vanier Cup as head coach of the University of Western Ontario Mustangs, in a nail-biting win over the University of Alberta.

The Mustangs would also win another Canadian title in 1973, the year after he finished his doctoral degree with a thesis on the history of Canadian sport.

After retiring from the CFL, Cosentino stepped into his second major career, as a university teacher and coach. He was an assistant professor of physical education and head football coach at the University of Western Ontario from 1970 to 1974, before becoming the physical education department head in 1975.

In 1976 he moved to York University where he was a professor and chairman of the department of physical education, recreation and athletics, and later named professor emeritus and senior scholar. At York, he was also convinced to return to coaching on two occasions, for another

seven years of work on the sidelines.

Now retired, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really. He enjoys playing tennis and golf, and his writing continues.

By the early 1970s, his list of authored books began to grow. The 15 books he has authored or co-authored include Canadian Football: The Grey Cup Years; A Passing Game: A History of the CFL, 1969-1994; and works on world-class 19th-century rower Ned Hanlon, Almonteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sculptor R. Tait McKenzie and basketball founder James Naismith, the Renfrew Millionaires hockey team, and the 1972 CanadaSoviet Union summit series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like the research,â&#x20AC;? says the 74-yearold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I like to find the stories behind the stories.â&#x20AC;?

More than 40 years after his CFL career, he maintains a fascination for the game, as a fan and an author-historian, along with life philosophy that has gone basically unchanged.

As a quarterback, it was inevitable he would be second-guessed, just as other high-profile athletes are. But in becoming conditioned to handle that role, Cosentino said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to second guess what I did, or what anyone else did, not that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try to reshape it.â&#x20AC;?

As a quarterback, he saw himself mostly as an encourager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And we brought up our kids that way too,â&#x20AC;? he explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Praise is a terrific way to bring out the best in people.â&#x20AC;?

The Cosentinosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; other children are Mary, Teresa and Peter, who has two World Series rings, from his days as marketing vice-president for the Blue Jays.

As a Hamiltonian, Cosentino continues to enjoy watching the Tiger Cats. However, he most enjoys watching the Montreal Alouettes, under the direction of QB Anthony Calvillo, or teams coached by Wally Buono, whose B.C. Lions have reversed a horrible start to this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Buono) seems to be composed and thoughtful on the sidelines, and he always seems to come up with a good quarterback and the kind of athletes he wants,â&#x20AC;? says Cosentino.

Whoever heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s watching, the Eganville resident says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise the CFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attracting a lot of attention. Rosters are larger than several years ago, and players are faster, stronger and bigger than ever.

Raiders off to OFSAA PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

Sixteen members of the Renfrew Collegiate Raiders cross-country team have advanced to the Ontario high school (OFSAA) cross-country championships to be held this Saturday at the Hornet’s Nest in Gloucester.

In the Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) championships at St. Michael’s Catholic School in Kemptville Oct. 27, the Raiders were second overall, paced by the efforts of John Pettigrew and Sam Agnew, who finished fourth in their respective events.

Pettigrew finished the five-kilometre midget boys run in 18:07.51, while Agnew crossed the finish in the six-kilometre junior boys event with a time of 21:34.34.

Other notable performances were turned in by midget girl Jenika Steele, 20th in 15:32.35; junior girl Saralyn Deslaurier, 14th in 16:24.95; senior girls Mikaela Barnes, ninth in 20:55.57, and Hillary MacMillan, 14th in 21:45.12; and senior boys Thomas Kellar, eighth in 23:30.91; and Colin Topping, 19th in 24:37.27.

The Raiders midget girls and senior girls teams have both qualified for OFSAA on the strength of secondplace finishes.

Two other teams narrowly missed as the senior boys were third and the midget boys fourth. The top two teams in each division qualified.

RCI captured its 16th consecutive Renfrew County cross-country title in October.

BASKETBALL The Raiders rebounded from a 32-18 loss in Arnprior Oct. 26 to pin down second place in the Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association senior girls basketball league with a 45-37 win over the Opeongo Wildcats Thursday.

Brooke Senack and Mikaela Barnes led with 11 and 10 points respectively.

Adrianne Guty gave the Raiders a big first-half boost with eight points.

Arnprior defeated the Junior Raiders 40-26. Jenika Steele had 10 points and Kelsey Lambert eight.

The Senior Raiders blanked the Jeanne Lajoie Chevaliers 3-0 in boys volleyball action.

FOOTBALL The Junior Raiders ended a tough 2011 Lanark-Renfrew High School Football League season at 2-and-5 with a 24-7 defeat in Smiths Falls.

Wyatt Zohr enjoyed a fine year running the football and scored the lone major for RCI. The Senior Raiders dropped a 35-6 decision to Arnprior in the final regular-season game.

Jason Fleury teamed up with Gord Gaddess for RCI’s only TD. However, the Senior Raiders will meet the Redmen in Arnprior once again in the final tomorrow (Friday) afternoon.

The Raiders (2-3-and-1) travelled to Deep River, and fended off the Mackenzie Mustangs 7-6 in the semifinal Tuesday afternoon.

Gord Gaddess took a pass from quarterback Cooper Brown to snap a scoreless tie in the third quarter. Brown’s extra point stood up as Mackenzie answered with an unconverted touchdown.

A Brady Pender interception in the fourth quarter sealed RCI’s trip to the final.

Andy has turned over the reins of this column just in time for me to pass on good news.

The chiller is being repaired as you read and we hope to have the club operational in about three weeks!

A young Renfrew Timberwolves team was bound to experience some growing pains early in the 2011 Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League season.

But now they are in danger of losing touch with the rest of the Valley Division.

In a meeting of last spring’s MetroValley champions, the Clarence Creek Beavers cruised past the Wolves 6-1 on home ice Sunday afternoon.

Coupled with a 10-2 setback to the Ottawa West Golden Knights last Thursday evening, it runs a Renfrew losing skid to an unlucky seven games, and drops them into last place at 4-9-and-0 in the Valley Division.

The Wolves had four wins and just two losses before this streak of misery began.

OTTAWA WEST 10, WOLVES 2 There’s an old adage about playing 60 minutes to win a hockey game. On Thursday night (Oct. 27) the Wolves played 10.

Renfrew actually led 2-0 on goals from Steve Cuthill and Scott Conroy 1:42 apart midway through the first period.

Ottawa West narrowed the gap to 21, and then scored six in a row in the middle session.

Troy Gauthier started in goal for Renfrew. Richard Barr took over after Ryan Sterling’s second goal of the night made it 8-2 Golden Knights.

Jacob Blair made 31 saves for Ottawa West.

For the Renfrew Timberwolves, too much time has been spent around the goalcrease of Richard Barr – shown here moving across to make a save against the Stittsville Royals – or backup Troy Gauthier, during what now has become a sevengame losing streak. The Wolves host the Ottawa West Golden Knights on Ma-TeWay Activity Centre ice Friday at 8 p.m.

CLARENCE CREEK 6, WOLVES 1 Scott Conroy notched his second goal in as many games midway through the second period, but by then, the Beavers had already gnawed through for a 3-0 lead.

Richard Barr faced 46 shots in the Renfrew goalcrease while the Wolves tested Jonathon Cameron 27 times.

The duo of Pascal Brisson and Jason Talbot was a two-man wrecking crew for Clarence Creek. Brisson had five points, including four goals, and Tal-

bot collected a goal and five assists.

The Wolves have acquired the playing rights of Brett Lewandowsky, Ryan Vincent and Will Fraser from the Stittsville Royals. Stittsville receives Brock Jessop, Ryan Dube and future considerations.

The Wolves are back home Friday at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre, but, as usual, it doesn’t get any easier. Ottawa West supplies the opposition at 8 p.m.

They travel to Stittsville Sunday for what amounts to a must-win against the homestanding Royals at 2:30 p.m.

STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

In his first visit to Renfrew County council since becoming the Ministry of Natural Resources district manager last April, Rick Watchorn spoke about a wide variety of activities and issues, including bird culls, communication, fighting forest fires and quality of life.

His Oct. 26 visit to county council also received critical feedback from county councillors, including Warden Bob Sweet.

Sweet thanked Watchorn for his presentation. He also invited the district manager back so county council can learn more background behind certain MNR decisions.

“I have to tell you at times we feel (decisions are) coming from Toronto and there is a local flavour that sometimes is missing,” said Sweet.

“Certainly we want to make sure that local flavour is relayed to you, and eventually to the folks in Toronto who perhaps don’t understand where Renfrew County is.”

Watchorn became the new district manager last April, a few months after Paul Moreau vacated the position to become the property and development director for Renfrew County.

Moreau was in council chambers when Watchorn provided an overview of how he sees MNR’s role in local communities.

As a former forester, Watchorn noted

MNR was preparing for the return of forestry from under the auspices of the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines.

“We’re looking forward to how that’s going to be worked out.”

Watchorn noted that MNR also had a new minister in Thunder Bay MPP Michael Gravelle.

“We hope he is more sympathetic to the logging industry,” said Janice Visneskie, a veteran advocate of the industry and mayor of Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards Township.

“It’s a huge industry for Renfrew County, and we really and truly are suffering.

So we don’t need more legislation; we need less,” added Visneskie, who made reference to concerns about species-atrisk legislation.

“We can still solve the problems that people think are out there without being legislated to do so.”

Watchorn also told county council that local MNR staff members helped battle forest fires across Canada, in such locations as Slake Lake, Alta., and northwestern Ontario.

Being located in the south region – the other MNR regions are northwest and northeast – Watchorn said the Pembroke district has a wide and unique set of clients and issues.

“You just never know who’s going to be on the other end of the phone when you pick it up,” said Watchorn.

“We really rely on our partners as a vi-

tal connection to the landscape.”

A “satisfying” example, said Watchorn, is the work being done by university, ministry, and Arnprior Fish and Game members to investigate and improve the situation for endangered eels in the Ottawa River.

The wide diversity of activities for MNR staff, added Watchorn, “creates all kinds of opportunities and partnerships and collaboration and advice and feedback.”

While he said there has been a long history of MNR collaboration with community members and partners, he said sometimes there has been a sense of “us and them, and that’s truly not the way we want things to work out. It’s truly a collaborative and sharing process.”

A huge factor in MNR’s work is quality of life, said Watchorn, noting that “healthy eco systems lead to healthy economies and healthy communities. It’s extremely important we make this link, so decisions aren’t made in isolation of one of these factors.”

Watchorn said local MNR staff are “making great efforts, great strides, great attempts … to respond to changing needs, whether that’s through legislation, through provincial policy, though forestry, through aggregates … we want to be able to respond in an effective manner so we’re meeting the needs of our partners, our clients and the public.”

Watchorn, 36, spoke generally about many issues.

This included his answer to North Algona Wilberforce Mayor Harold Weckworth, who asked if a cull was possible to deal with the fish-devouring cormorants in the area, in and around Golden Lake and Round Lake.

He noted some of the birds’ nesting habits have resulted in severe depreciation of the land’s vegetation as well.

Weckworth, who noted MNR has done culls on Lake Ontario, said the cormorants weren’t the only reason for depleted fish stocks, but they’re “certainly a big part.”

He also said property association members would also be willing to assist by collecting any birds that are destroyed.

The issue of cormorants also exists on Lake Ontario, the Rideau Lakes and St. Lawrence River, said Watchorn.

“In terms of wanting to talk and meet with council and property owners, I’m more than willing to talk about that.

There is a current policy in Ontario to deal with cormorants,” he added, “and that’s something we can certainly discuss at length and in detail with those folks and with yourselves.

“In terms of cull or no cull, I think we can work through the details.”

Watchorn is a resident of Carleton Place, which allows him easy access to MNR meetings in Toronto and the regional headquarters in Peterborough.

Watchorn and wife Kerri have two children, ages 7 and 9.

Papousek inducted into Ottawa Valley CMHF PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

People in the Ottawa Valley, and particularly in the Town of Renfrew, will know the voice of Mark Papousek.

Many have enjoyed breakfast and made their morning coffee with the radio tuned in to Y101 FM for the past quarter of a century.

Papousek was back in his old stomping grounds Sunday, Oct. 23 doing something he always does, emcee the first hour of the Reach for the Rainbow Sunshine Coach Telethon in the Grant Gymnasium at Renfrew Collegiate.

A month earlier, on Sept. 25, Papousek’s stamp on country music was rewarded with his induction into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame. What turned into a hallof-fame radio broadcasting career got its start at CKOB 1400 in Renfrew in the 1970s.

He was among four people enshrined at the OVCMHF 2011 Awards Show at Centrepointe

Theatre in Ottawa.

Other inductees into the Valley shrine were Elayne Carlson, Rodger Coulombe and Renfrew’s Dan Paul Rogers.

“It was an honour. It was nice to take mom and dad, and my brother Jerry and his wife were there.” Papousek said of the induction ceremony. “I’m honoured,” he added. “They held a party right at Centrepointe.

“Ted Daigle (who hired Papousek at CKBY in Ottawa) was there, and Wayne Rostad, who was my first boss in country in Newfoundland.

He inducted me.”

“I didn’t get out of the party until around 12:30 and I had to be in (to the radio station) at 4 a.m,” Papousek added.

The thought of retirement has crossed Papousek’s mind, but not just yet. “I’ll be 25 years on the 27th of December. That’ll be 25 years of getting up at 3 in the morning.”

You can hear Mark in the Morning from 5 to 9 a.m.

PassionWorks! — the name of Dave Jones’s book — was also the theme of his talk at the Renfrew County Legal Clinic’s annual general meeting Thursday.

Jones said volunteers and workers within organizations may have to work at finding the right approach, or the right dose of passion, to work more effectively.

Passion is critical, especially for notfor-profit organizations that rely heavily on volunteers’ passion and work ethic to reach their goals, said Jones.

But passion is not enough, he told an audience of more than 30 people at Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church.

Jones, whose talk was entitled Pump Up Your Passion, spoke about hiking trips with friends in British Columbia and the parallel messages for people in the workplace.

He first noted that some organizations stall because workers and volunteers interpret success in many different ways.

Similarly, many hikers don’t appreciate the progress they’re making along the way until they’ve reached a mountaintop and look back to see how far they’ve come.

Jones said a key to success for organizations is to realign signals of progress, so different people can relate to what others are doing ‘during the journey’ on the job.

He quoted Albert Einstein, “If you do what you’ve always done, expect to get what you’ve always got.”

As an example, Jones shared his own experience in a New York airport shortly after the 2001 terrorist attacks

on the World Trade Center and a time of heightened security. A Portuguese couple that didn’t speak English was being questioned by a security official, who wanted to know the couple’s destination.

The frustrated official kept raising his voice while repeating the question.

But he got nowhere, partly because he didn’t try something new, like seeking a translator.

Jones said many people would benefit by being like one hiker who stopped in the woods to recognize the many trees or wildlife along the way.

At work, then, we need to appreciate the progress being made.

Therefore, Jones advised: Do what you can to change things, but don’t spend all your time worrying about it.

Take time, he said, to notice partners and donors. But also take a step back, say every Friday, and recognize steps of progress made on the job during the week.

clients in more remote parts of the county to do face-to-face interviews with the Renfrew County Legal Clinic.

Partnering agencies are Tyerman and Daughter Employment Services and Community Resource Centre Killalooe.

During the fiscal year of October 2010 to October 2011, the clinic opened 136 new files, compared to 138 the previous year. At present the clinic has 283 files open.

During the year, the clinic provided referral, advice or brief services to 1,728 clients. This is also similar to the previous year’s service levels.

The auditor’s report was also presented. Total expenses for the year were $571,811.

Revenues of $566,428 left the clinic with a year’s deficit of $5,383. Just over 84 per cent of its expenses for the five staff members were salaries of $404,626, a percentage similar to other years’ totals.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT BOARD OF DIRECTORS Later in the evening, in the executive director’s report, Richard Owen spoke abut highlights during the clinic’s 25th year of operation.

For the first time, he says the clinic totalled the one-time payments and additional income collected for clients for the entire year. The amount came to $928,000.

“Yes, we’re making progress,” concluded Owen.

In his report, he also noted the clinic is working on a project supported by the Legal Aid Ontario’s innovation fund.

The project is about creating a video-conferencing system that enables

To The General Public of Renfrew & Surrounding Area In recent years, the members of The Royal Canadian Legion have asked the towns and cities, schools, businesses and churches, and citizens of Canada to stop for two minutes at 11:00 a.m. on November 11th and pay special tribute to the 116,000 Canadians who have given their lives in war to defend Canada.

The silence begins in Newfoundland and sweeps across the country like a wave, as the clock strikes 11:00 a.m. in each time zone. The objective is simply to allow as many Canadians as possible to participate in Remembrance Day. The “Wave of Silence” has received resounding support from Canadians in all parts of Canada. In previous years, trains stopped, factory workers paused and school children participated in record numbers in remembering the heroic sacrifices of the men and women who went to war in the 20th century.

We come to you again this year to solicit your support for the “2 Minute Wave of Silence”. We urge you to encourage your staff and clients, your students and neighbours to sustain the momentum achieved in the observance of Remembrance and in the special tribute paid to the men and women to whom all Canadians owe so much.

Unwrapping Christmas early About 250 shoppers got an early look at the beautiful decorations and holiday trimmings available at Home Hardware in Renfrew on Tuesday, Oct. 18.

The fourth annual Unwrapping Christmas Early event serves as a fundraiser for Renfrew Victoria Hospital and allows customers to purchase items and save the HST on all regular-priced merchandise.

Attendees purchase tickets for $5 in advance or at the door, with all proceeds supporting RVH’s Mammography Unit.

“We raised $2,300 for the hospital this year,” says Karen Maxwell, owner of Home Hardware.

“It’s all thanks to the hard work of our staff committee.”

Jen Huot, head of merchandising at Home Hardware and one of the organizing committee members, says the event began four years ago after a co-worker was diagnosed with breast cancer.

With the majority of staff members being women at the Renfrew store, it made a lot of sense to support a women’s health program in the community.

This year their contribution is

extra special, as they are able to make a substantial contribution towards the new digital mammography equipment. “Digital Mammography service coming to Renfrew is really exciting,” Huot adds.

RVH set up a special display this year with Sandra Beimers, secretary for RVH’s diagnostic imaging department and a community leader of the Call to Action campaign, and Cecie Whelan, also from the RVH Call to Action team, providing information about the hospital’s mammography unit upgrade and the importance of breast screening.

A bake sale table full of delectable treats was one of the first stops for many patrons that night and the goodies quickly disappeared. Again, all funds raised from the sale of baked goods are donated directly to the hospital.

This year also featured special guests Christina Ouellet of the Flower Factory providing a demonstration of holiday decorating ideas, and Kathryn Spooner Bossy helping people make and take home a handmade Swarovski crystal Christmas decoration.

Each participant paid $5 to

make the ornament, and Bossy was happy to donate all profits to the Digital Mammography Fund as well.

Everyone always enjoys the sneak peek at the new seasonal items and Huot is pleased with the great turnout. “It’s a nice evening; there’s a social component and it’s a lot of fun for us to put together. It’s all worth it.”

The organizing committee sends thanks to myFM for broadcasting live from the store that evening and to the community for its continued support of this event.

“The Home Hardware team is a huge supporter of RVH and the Unwrapping Christmas Early event has really caught on with the community, which makes it a success all round. The support this year is especially significant with the Digital Mammography Project underway and the opportunity to showcase our Call to Action initiative,” remarks Barb Desilets, director of development for the RVH Foundation.

For more information about the Digital Mammography Project contact Barb Desiliets, Director of Development, RVH Foundation, 613-432-4851, ext. 263.

Shoppers check out delicious treats on the bake sale table at the Home Hardware Unwrapping Christmas Early event Oct. 18.

Union infection tour seeks more resources PETER CLARK

peter.clark@metroland.com

At a Renfrew media conference Oct. 26, hospital staff urged Ontario’s health minister to bring down death rates from hospital-acquired infections by lowering hospital occupancy rates, doing a deep clean of Ontario’s hospitals, and providing more resources for cleaning and infection control.

This summer, the deaths of 20 patients at Ontario hospitals – the majority of them in the Niagara region – from C. Difficile drew widespread attention to the issue of hospital-acquired infections.

“Hospital-acquired infections are the fourth-leading cause of death, and kill between 3,500 and 5,000 people in Ontario hospitals each year,” said Sharon Richer, northern Ontario president of the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions (OCHU) of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE).

“At least one-half of these deaths are preventable.”

In an effort to increase public awareness of the issue, the stop in Renfrew was part of an OCHU/CUPE tour of 30 Ontario communities using a theatre set representing a hospital room to demonstrate the disinfection of a room that has been occupied by a patient with a superbug like C. Difficile, VRE or MRSA. Lynda Coules, a housekeeper (environmental services) at Renfrew Victoria Hospital, explained cleaning procedures in a hospital room.

“We wouldn’t approach a room without double gloves, mask and a gown,” Coules said.

Lynda Coules demonstrates house cleaning from the portable hospital room.

The bed, mattress, medical equipment, floor, walls, must be washed down, “everything that can be touched in the room,” Coules said. The cleaner bleech must be able to stay on a surface for 10 minutes.

“That’s how long it takes to kill the germs. Germs will live on a surface for five to six months.

“It can take up to three hours to do a room,” she added. “It’s done daily, and when a new patient arrives.”

Health-care leaders make a direct connection between hospital overcrowding and superbug outbreaks, Richer said.

The Ministry of Health has supervised the closure of 18,500 beds over the last 20 years, with over 600 cuts in the last year. Hospital bed occupancy

is at a record level (over 97 per cent) and Ontario has fewer hospital beds per 1,000 of the population than any province. Countries like the Netherlands, with much lower occupancy rates, have correspondingly lower death rates from hospital-acquired infections, Richer added.

“It’s time to bring light to the problem.”

Lee Ann Somerville, president of CUPE local 1548 at Renfrew Victoria Hospital, said people should be aware of the job the housekeepers do.

“Housekeepers are professionals and play an important roll in the healthcare system,” she said. “Hopefully we can get the necessary funding for them to provide their service.”

“Public awareness about hospitalacquired infections is increasing and that is positive,” said OCHU vice-president Louis Rodrigues. “We are hopeful that the Ontario government responds accordingly by requiring hospitals to report deaths of patients with superbug infections.”

Richer and Rodrigues called on the province “to provide resources for a deep clean of Ontario hospitals as the United Kingdom has done. Contractedout hospital cleaning, a practice the Royal College of Nurses has said is dangerous and unsafe, should be prohibited. And, we need more resources for cleaning on an ongoing basis and for infection control.”

“This is about making every hospital as safe as possible,” Rodrigues said. “These deaths are preventable.

Because of short funding, people don’t have the time and start to cut corners.”

The Renfrew Mercury - November 3, 2011

Now you see them, now you don’t We received a phone call on Wednesday, Oct. 26 from Mac Coughlin at Cobden to tell us that there were 100-plus snow geese in a soybean field across the road from G&S Farm Equipment on the Forrester’s Falls Road. He also mentioned that there were thousands of Canada geese in the same area, all feeding and resting.

I was headed out the door Thursday morning to see them when I received another call from Mac to say that all the geese were gone except one snow goose and he thought that it could be have been injured.

Leaving in a hurry is a common event with snow geese.

When the temperature, wind direction and air pressure are to their liking they take flight and head south. Some years they will fly from James Bay to the Gulf of Mexico non-stop, a journey of over 2,000 miles (3,200 km). If conditions do not require such an effort, or they are forced to the ground by storms, they will stop until conditions improve before continuing.

The blue form of the snow goose winters mainly along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. The white form of the snow goose winters along the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts some travel as far as the coast of Japan.

A VERY RARE SCOTER Murray Borer saw a very rare white-winged scoter on Colton Lake last week. Although it migrates through Ontario, it is few in number and very secretive.

This scoter is all black with a small white patch around the eyes. The bill is orange with a conspicuous black knob at the base. The white wing patch is very obvious in flight.

The black scoter (rafts of this species have been seen on the Bonnechere River) is all black with a bright orange knob at the base of the black bill. There are no white wing patches.

We tend to dismiss the scoters because they are just another black bird bobbing around on lakes and rivers in the fall. But, because they are all black, they are easy to recognize as a rare visitor.

WOOD DUCKS Deanna and Randy Joe have had nesting pairs of wood ducks near their property for several years. The birds raise young in natural tree cavities, old woodpecker holes or wood duck boxes and they are the only perching duck we have.

It takes several sentences to

JIM FERGUSON SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE describe the plumage of the male wood duck: bold iridescent green, purple and white head; a green and a purple crest, red bill with yellow base and with a black tip, burgundy neck and breast, and gold–bordered flanks with pointed, tawny and black feathers. The eyes are red.

The female is less colourful, but the elliptical white eye patch is very visible.

These ducks will be in the area until the formation of ice encourages them to migrate.

TWO RARE ONES The brown creeper and the Boreal chickadee are two of our “never-to-be-seen species” unless you are willing to spend the time searching. Cathy Campbell saw a brown creeper this past week, but the Boreal chickadee has not been reported in the area since March 1998.

I do believe the birds are here, but because they look so much like the black-capped, we do not really look for them.

The brown creeper is smaller than a chickadee and looks like brown tree bark. It hugs a tree trunk as it searches for larvae and insect eggs, moving slowly and deliberately.

A Boreal chickadee looks like a clack-capped, but the crown and nape are brown rather than black. The cheeks are white and the bib black. Their song is less lively and more drawn out than the black-capped. The Boreal chickadee is one of the few permanent residents of the northern Boreal forest.

FIELD REGULARS The common crow is our most visible and recognizable field regular. We see them almost every time we are outside, whether in town or in the country.

The common raven is a regular, but sometimes difficult to identify.

The diamond-shaped tail when in flight, the slow steady wingbeats, the habit of soaring more than flapping and the variety of songs and calls help us identify the species.

If you can add to our list of regulars, please let us know.

Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, RR 5, Renfrew, Ontario K7V 3Z8 Phone 613-432-2738 or email jamesh@ nrtco.net.

WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED

able to the CCAC and its clients, according to Kevin Babulic, director of client services.

“One of the Champlain CCAC’s key areas of focus is offering strategies for clients and their families to facilitate independence and function,” he says.

“Occupational therapists add tremendous value to our clients and our organization in this regard.

Their professional knowledge and skills strengthen the CCAC where they work in direct client care, as case managers and in administrative roles.”

For Cotnam, it’s about the opportunity to make a difference.

“It’s so satisfying to contribute in a small way to help a child achieve independence. It’s all about client-centred care and what the client believes is most important to them. We want to make that happen,” she says.

In fact, Cotnam is currently pursuing a masters of education degree on a part-time basis with a concentration in Special Education, further supporting her interest in children with exceptional needs.

October was Occupational Therapy Month, when Cotnam and other occupational therapists at the Champlain CCAC worked together, as throughout the entire year, to provide outstanding care that contributes to healthy outcomes.

BECAUSE YOUR BUSINESS IS OUR BUSINESS

In high school, Jodi Cotnam did a co-op placement at a physiotherapy centre. But it was the work of the occupational therapists that really interested her.

“Their work really resonated with me,” Cotnam explains.

“I wanted to look after people who wanted to stay in their own homes, or drive again, or just live a more independent life.”

Since completing her degree in occupational therapy at Queen’s University, Cotnam has worked in community care in North Bay, Peterborough and Renfrew.

For the most part, her work has been with children.

“I love helping them with their special needs, whether it is physical disabilities, developmental delays or sensory challenges,” she notes.

As part of her job as an occupational therapist at Champlain Community Care Access Centre (CCAC), Cotnam completes assessments to determine a client’s functional independence, evaluating everything from what skills a child has, how they can compensate for deficits, what adaptive and assistive equipment is available and even how the physical environment can be modified.

She works closely with the school and special education staff, education assistants, parents and other partners to help children be as independent as possible at school.

Cotnam says that making a difference in the life of a child is particularly rewarding. She gives an example of a Grade 1 student who is struggling using a pencil.

“We assess the student’s fine motor skills, cognitive abilities and other factors to pinpoint the underlying difficulty and then provide suggestions.

“It could be everything from developing new skills to offering alternative ways to learn such as keyboards and software.”

For children with physical disabilities, everything, from selfcare such as getting dressed to wheelchairs and transportation, is reviewed.

“We are looking at levels of independence and what we can do to make things easier for each student.”

Cotnam is just one of about 25 occupational therapists who work at the Champlain CCAC – both on staff and from the CCAC’s contracted service providers.

Their contribution is invalu-

27 November 3, 2011 - The Renfrew Mercury

Double focus on making life better for others STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Certified esthetician Leigh-Andrea Watson is the owner of w Esthetics, which shares an office with Meagan’s Massage Therapy. started w Esthetics with the focus on high-end quality products and service. In fact, her skin-care products come from Dr. Baumann, a German firm whose focus is shared very much on that continent.

“The Europeans are way ahead of us in terms of safe ingredients, and the licensing and laws of what can go into products,” says Watson, who is a certified professional make-up artist and esthetician from the Versailles Academy.

At least that’s definitely the philosophy for anyone who wants to benefit from massage.

The reasons for massage are widely varied, but Paterson says massage is helpful to reduce muscle tightness that comes from many sources.

These sources include work (like sitting at a computer for long hours), sports activities, inactivity, and even philosophical outlook (like being too uptight and worried on a regular basis).

“There’s something for everyone, but there’s a wide variety of massages available,” says the registered massage therapist.

Massage’s popularity has skyrocketed in recent decades.

“I think this generation is becoming much more open to touch than, say, our grandparents,” says Paterson.

“It comes back to what you’re consuming, what you’re putting on or in your body,” adds Watson. “And it’s nice to see that mentality is moving over to the skin-care industry as well.”

Meagan’s Massage Therapy and w Esthetics is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with reserved appointments on Saturday. Some late weekday hours are also available.

For more details, call (613) 432-8986. Or visit the websites of www. w-esthetics.com and www. meagansmassagetherapy.com.

They’re both young and enthusiastic about making other people’s lives better.

Both are also into the ‘R’ word, which in their business environment means a lot of good things, like rest, relaxation, rejuvenation and reducing stress.

Certified esthetician LeighAndrea Watson of w Esthetics and Meagan Paterson of Meagan’s Massage Therapy have combined their services into one office at 72 Prince Ave. West in Renfrew, in the basement of the building that houses dentists Rouble and MacDonald.

Some residents may remember Watson and Paterson’s office space as the former home of a local medical lab.

Both were working for other business owners when they decided to combine their services at one location.

Paterson ended up in the area after marrying a Renfrew County paramedic, while Watson attended high school (RCI) in Renfrew where she grew up.

After graduating from Algonquin College as a registered massage therapist, Paterson worked for other employers until she and Watson became business partners this past summer.

In the year 2000, Watson had

Dr. Baumann products are a fine example of safety, she says, because the German company is based on a philosophy of transparency and education.

“When you look across the board, the prices are average.

But the best part is that I know the products are safe and good.”

In the waiting room, Dr. Baumann’s publication, INCI, serves as a bible of cosmetic ingredients. Each product is described along with a review tag of not recommended, limited recommended, recommended, or highly recommended.

Too many skin care products sold in North America are petroleum-based, and therefore of more questionable value to the skin and one’s metabolism, says Watson. As another example, she says too many sunscreens contain unhealthy ingredients, like parabens, which have been traced to cancer. Instead, Watson says one should welcome such natural products as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.

Watson’s services include facial treatments, waxing, manicures and pedicures. She deals with such issues as calluses and ingrown toenails, and advises people on how to improve the condition of their skin.

Whatever one applies to his or her skin, it should include the human touch.

1971: Area behind Central Public School in Renfrew fenced NOVEMBER 9, 1911 LEFT FOR PICTON: Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Tulley left on Monday for Picton, where Mr. Tulley will conduct a moving picture show owned by Mr. S.S. Deleney of Renfrew. Mr. Tulley has conducted Mr. Deleney’s moving picture show in Renfrew for the past seven months, and during that time he and Mrs. Tulley became very popular. Their departure from town was much regretted by the circle of their acquaintances. Mr. Tulley’s conduct of the moving picture show was such as to make it popular here and to raise it above the level to which it had fallen under previous conductors. Mr. Deleney will continue the moving picture entertainment here himself, and will no doubt keep it clean, wholesome and above objection, as it has been conducted for the past seven months.

BADLY INJURED: Bruce Redpath, the well-known hockey player and oarsman, was seriously injured last week in Toronto by being run down by an automobile. Redpath is at present in a Toronto hospital with concussion of the brain and has been in an unconscious state for the past three or four days. Red-

OLGA LEWIS FROM THE OLD FILES path, as he is popularly known, played last year on the Ottawa hockey team and is well known and liked in Renfrew by large numbers of hockey fans who saw him play here last winter.

Redpath’s numerous friends both within and outside of athletic circles hope for a speedy recovery of this good sport.

OCTOBER 29, 1936 HAD LOYALIST BLOOD IN HIS VEINS: Mother of the late C.R. Grigg of Renfrew was of U.E. Loyalist descent and was the first white child born in the county of Oxford. Mr. Grigg never had any stress upon his U.E. Loyalist lineage, preferring rather to speak of matters which mattered more in every day life. As an evidence of his fondness for the chase, it might be said that he was ready for another deer hunting outing. All equipment was packed. He was a member of a club hunting in the Black Donald neighbourhood.

He did not go out last year, yield-

ing to wishes of his family that he should not, but he appeared so well this year consent was not withheld by members of his family. A few weeks ago, when it became legal to shoot ducks in this part of Ontario, Mr. Grigg was one of the numbers from Renfrew who went after the birds. He had been uptown a day previous to his feeling ill.

HAD LEADING ROLE IN A FILM: A sufferer from cancer, Paul Benoit, once chief of the Algonquin tribe of Indians at Golden Lake, died at Pembroke General Hospital in his 61st year.

Paul Benoit played an important part for years in affairs pertaining to the Indians of Golden Lake and in other parts of Ontario. He had a good command of English and a native ability that served him well in his dealings with his white brothers. He had a leading role some years ago in a movie production The Silent Enemy.

The film was taken in the forest at Temagami, Ont. His widow, formerly Mary Ann Commanda, and his family of four sons and two daughters survive.

NOVEMBER 3, 1971 WILL FENCE SCHOOL: The Renfrew County Board of Edu-

cation will fence the back area of Central Public School at an estimated cost of $700. Manager of plant W.K. Piverotte told the board Oct. 27 the cost would include two gates; one for vehicles, one for pedestrians. Fencing the property came after the board received letters complaining of noise after school hours.

Residents in the vicinity of the school were upset by foul language being used by groups of people, as well as noise caused by minibikes and snowmobiles.

MANOR’S NEW CHIEF NO STRANGER: There’s a new face at Renfrew Manor. A.J. “Ed” Plazek is the new administrator who started work here Monday, and although he may be a stranger around the manor, he’s no stranger to Renfrew. Mr. Plazek was born in Renfrew in 1926. After attending RCI, he took a course in business administration at the University of Toronto, before going on to a course in hospital organization management through the Canadian Hospital Association.

Up until recently, Mr. Plazek has been office supervisor and assistant to the administrator at Deep River Hospital, an active treatment centre. Mr. Plazek has now moved back to Renfrew

and is living with his wife and four children at 286 James St. He is married to the former Jo Kenopic of Renfrew. Mr. Plazek replaces Jim Hughes, who left to take a position in Lanark County.

Pastor Ernie Weigelin of Lantern of Hope Ministries will spend this weekend outside the Golden Lake Community Centre to raise funds and awareness for the fight against child sex trafficking.

Organizers of this weekend’s event say that, in countries like Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia and India, children are being stolen and sold into the sex trade industry, sometimes as young as three years old.

Rev. Weigelin will be living outside the Golden Lake Community Centre for the entire duration f the fundraiser – day and night.

“He will be doing this on behalf of all the innocent children who are living on the streets, exposed and exploited every day,” an event poster says.

One hundred per cent of the funds raised this weekend will go to Pearl Alliance (Messenger International) and Life Outreach International.

People are invited to visit the Golden Lake Community Centre to make a donation and support the cause.

Infor mation about the benefactor organizations will be available inside the community hall.

For more details on the fundraiser, call 613-628-6760.

69 YEARS TOGETHER

Hockey in Renfrew County: A silvered history

Bertha and Ernie Eady of Renfrew celebrated with family and friends their 69th anniversary last week at Finniganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roadhouse.

After four years together, Bertha, now 90, and Ernie, 91, tied the knot on Oct. 24, 1942.

BLAINE MARCHAND Bromley Historical Society

Winter is just around the corner! And with it comes the return of hockey.

And the County of Renfrew played an integral role in the history of the game.

Renowned sportsman, academic and writer Frank Cosentino of Eganville will speak on the key role that Renfrew played in the history of hockey in Canada.

The talk, to take place on Saturday, Nov. 5 at 2 p.m. at the old Bromley Town Hall, 495 Micksburg Road, Osceola, is sponsored by the Bromley Historical Society. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Renfrew County is often cited as the birthplace of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national hockey league,â&#x20AC;? Cosentino said in a recent interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Renfrew Hockey Club, also called the Creamery Kings, was a founding franchise of the National Hockey Association, the forerunner to the NHA/NHL. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The team was nicknamed the Renfrew Millionaires as it was bankrolled by Ambrose Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, who made his fortune in silver mines in Northern Ontario. Seven of that teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s players went on to larger careers and being honoured in the Hockey Hall of Fame.â&#x20AC;?

Cosentinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk will draw upon his novel, The Renfrew Millionaires: The Valley Boys of Winter 1910, which captured the lives and times of the team. But he will also speak about what some called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;ABCDE League,â&#x20AC;? short for Admaston-BromleyCobden-Douglas-Eganville.

The George Cup, donated by an Eganville family, was that leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equivalent of the Stanley Cup. Begun in the 1920s, the local rivalry continued until the 1960s.

He is currently Professor Emeritus and Senior Scholar with York University in Toronto, but in his long career, Cosentino also taught at the University of Ottawa and the University of Western Ontario. In the 1960s, he was a quarterback with the Hamilton Tiger Cats, the Toronto Argonauts and the Edmonton Eskimos, winning two Grey Cups.

Among his books are: Canadian Football: The Grey Cup Years (1969); The Renfrew Millionaires: The Valley Boys of Winter, 1910 (1990); Almonteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brothers of the Wind; Tait McKenzie and Naismith, (1996) and Hockey Gods at the Summit (2011).

He is in several Halls of Fame.

Cosentinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk is open to the public and is free.

Refreshments will be served following his talk.

Renfrew Victoria Hospital names new VP for financial services

Tim Sonnenberg is the new RVH vice-president of financial services.

The Renfrew Victoria Hospital has announced that Tim Sonnenburg will become its new vice-president of financial services, starting on Dec. 5.

Sonnenburg, a chartered accountant, comes to RVH from the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital, where he had served as vice-president of finance and support services since 2002.

Randy Penney, RVH president

and CEO, announced Sonnenburg’s appointment to staff last week, adding that Sonnenburg is an excellent choice for the senior management position because of “his vast hospital experience and financial background.”

Penney noted that, besides his financial expertise, Sonnenburg has considerable experience in managing various support operations at the Arnprior hospital and Grove

Nursing Home, including information technology, housekeeping, laundry, material management, building services, food services and capital planning.

Sonnenburg worked at the Arnprior hospital for 18 years, including a stint as interim CEO in 2003.

Before joining the Arnprior hospital staff, Sonnenburg worked for an accounting firm. He graduated with a bachelor of commerce from

Carleton University in 1990 and received his chartered accountant designation in 1993.

Sonnenburg said he looks forward to joining the RVH staff. “I am excited to be joining the RVH team in the capacity of VP of financial services,” he said. “RVH has a great reputation for being patient focused, and I look forward to contributing to the continued success of the organization.”

IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM

“In Loving Memory of my Mom, who passed away November 2, 2006” They say memories are golden, I don’t know if that’s true.

I never wanted memories, I only wanted you.

A million times I’ve needed you, A million times I’ve cried, If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still, Your passing leaves an emptiness That no one will ever fill.

Look after Scout, and keep dancing.

Love, T

For my Granny If I had a single flower for every time I missed you, I could run in our garden forever.

Now I can.

Scout

Time changes many things but love & memory ever clings.

A booklet of commemorative verses is available for viewing at our office to help you get through this difficult time.

In Loving Memory of my Best Friend “Scout”

IN MEMORY OF MY BELOVED MOTHER FRANCES LAMBERT (nee Delorme) ADORED WIFE OF JOHN LAMBERT Nov. 16, 1929 - Nov. 6, 2009

Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

My Mother kept a garden.

A garden of the heart; She planted all the good things, That gave my life its start.

She turned me to the sunshine, Encouraged me to dream: Fostering and nurturing The seeds of self-esteem.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

And when the winds and rains came, She protected me enough; But not too much, she knew I’d need To stand up strong and tough.

Her constant good example, Always taught me right from wrong; Markers for my pathway To last my whole life long.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

The Renfrew Mercury - November 3, 2011

Mercury photo by Peter Clark

RVH Auxiliary president Fran Bonner, left, and member Marilyn York promote the upcoming house tour.

Cobden Home and Garden Tour organizers visit the RVH nephrology unit. From left are, Isobel Fletcher, RVH vice president of patient care services Chris Ferguson, Hazel Hawthorn, Susan Gilchrist, Dorothy Edwards, Bea Richardson, Edna Peever, Sandra Buttle and hospital CEO Randy Penney.

Generous ladies get personal tour of Renfrew Victoria Hospital hemodialysis unit A group of women who organized a fundraising event were able to take a personal tour of the Renfrew Victoria Hospital’s hemodialysis unit on Tuesday, October 18.

After donating the proceeds from a Home and Garden Tour held last spring, the committee of the Cobden Queen’s Line Pastoral Charge spent the evening learning more about the treatments and plans for expanding the current unit from RVH CEO Randy Penney and vice-president of patient care services Chris Ferguson.

“We were able to donate $6,963.39 to the RVH Dialysis Unit,” notes Sandra Buttle, one of the main organizers of the event held June 18.

The tour was a spectacular showcase of six private homes and gardens in Cobden.

“My family and I had the opportunity to go through the homes that day and it was delightful,” Penney said before talking about the nephrology program at RVH. He explained that the dialysis unit was established in 1993 after complaints from patients who had to drive into Ottawa for services.

RVH draw winners

“It’s horrendous having to deal with the disease itself, but having to drive into Ottawa three times a week makes it much harder.”

There happened to be enough patients in the Renfrew area who required treatment that it justified having a unit at RVH, “and we’ve had incredible success with the program.”

However, expansion is required every three years or so because of the staggeringly high rates of kidney disease in this area compared to the overall rate across the province.

“We have a very unique phenomenon – the rate in Ontario is six per cent, but here in Renfrew County we’re at 25 per cent,” said Penney.

Diabetes is the number one contributing factor to renal failure. The percentage of Renfrew County residents with a hereditary condition known as polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is also causing rates to rise.

“RVH is currently running at 100 per cent capacity in our unit and the Ministry standard is 85 per cent,” he added. Satellite hemodialysis units are also located in Barry’s Bay at St.

The Renfrew Victoria Hospital Auxiliary has announced the winners of the seventh early-bird monthly draw in its Victorian Miniature House Raffle and Lottery fundraiser campaign. The money raised will go towards the auxiliary’s pledge to raise money for the

Francis Memorial Hospital and at the Pembroke Regional Hospital.

Ferguson said the original hemodialysis unit was built for 10 stations.

Currently there are 14 stations in the unit, and the new unit will accommodate 20 stations.

The two-floor nephrology centre will also house peritoneal dialysis, a home therapy program on the upper floor with all of the hemodialysis patients on the main floor.

“We’re excited and, most importantly, the patients are excited about the expansion,” said Ferguson.

On behalf of the committee, Susan Gilchrist thanked Penney and Ferguson for their inside look at the expansion.

“We’re happy to be part of it. It’s wonderful to be able to contribute to the program.” She also thanked Buttle for all her organization for the Home and Garden Tour.

Donations from the community go directly towards the purchase of equipment—even tables and chairs, explained Penney. “We’re grateful for every dollar that comes in, and this will all go directly to the unit.”

Renfrew Victoria Hospital Auxiliary to host house tour Renfrew residents have been asking for it.

Now it’s finally here.

On Sunday, Dec. 11 the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Auxiliary presents their 2011 Christmas House Tour.

This is the sixth house tour fundraiser sponsored by RVH Auxiliary and is being held in conjunction with the Victorian Miniature House Lottery and Raffle already underway.

The house tour is sponsored by M. Sullivan and Son Ltd. of Arnprior and showcases six unique and beautiful homes guaranteed to please.

Homes are open between 12:30 and 5 p.m.

There are five homes in the town of Renfrew; 818 Kedrosky Dr., 97 Erindale Ave., 219 Opeongo Dr., 270 Lochiel St. and 577 Raglan St. S. The sixth is in Horton at 27 Ruttan Rd. Tickets are $25 per person and include a Victorian Bone China Tea held in the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Cafeteria between 1 and 4.30 p.m.

There is only one more monthly draw for five lucky winners of $100 each, which takes place Nov. 28. On Dec. 15, the final draws will be made for the grand prize of the Victorian House, and cash prizes of $1,000 and $500.

While you are at the hospital, visit the RVH Auxiliary Gift Shop, a ‘hidden gem.’ It will be open from 12 to 5 p.m., and you receive 20 per cent off all merchandise purchased.

You will not want to miss a special exhibit by the Renfrew Art Guild in the corridor of the hospital. And if you have not seen it before, you can feast your eyes on the fit-for-a-princess Victorian miniature dream home which will be on display just outside the cafeteria.

Join us for this exciting and fun-filled Sunday afternoon. All proceeds go towards the Renfrew Victoria Hospital CT Scanner.

Tickets are $25 per person and available in Renfrew at Aikenhead’s Drug Store, 226 Raglan St. S., Renfrew Home Hardware, 555 O’Brien Rd. and the RVH Gift Shop, 499 Raglan St. N. To order tickets, pay by credit card or for information call 613432-3088 or email rvha2011housetour@yahoo. ca.

If you would like to see this magnificent work of art and beauty, the house is on display at Stone Meadows’ Kitchen Shop, 350 Raglan St. Tickets are available at the Kitchen Shop and the RVH Gift Shop and from members of the RVH Auxiliary.
