As in war, so go the Remembrance Day services in Calabogie. For years, the services took place in cold, unfriendly weather conditions, but Sunday was not one of those days.

With the sun shining brightly and a pleasant wind blowing in off Calabogie Lake, more than 250 people gathered to pay their respects during the annual service.

Participants included dozens of members of the public, as well as members of Canadian Army Veteran (CAV) motorcycle units, the Renfrew Highland Pipes and Drums, the 653 air cadets squadron, members of the Renfrew Royal Canadian Legion, and close to 100 soldiers from Canadian Forces Base Petawawa’s Artillery Regiment’s D Battery.

Hank Schaly, who led the singing of the national anthem and hymns Lead On, O King Eternal and Eternal Father Strong to Save, also shared a remembrance poem about a Canadian soldier.

Another participant was Pastor Bill Griffiths. He reminded the gathering, in his address, that the wise man doesn’t boast in his wisdom, but rather for understanding and knowing God, and therefore exercises kindness, judg-

ment and righteousness while living on this Earth.

Before an audience that came to remember the contributions of soldiers who gave their time, if not their lives, to defend this and other countries, he said, “We are justifiably proud of those who have served and are serving with honour, of those who put their lives on hold, of those who put their own safety and well-being in second place and went to serve on foreign soil.

“And we gather in this place today to remember those – both military and civilian – who paid the ultimate price; even down to this past month with the loss of our 158th soldier (in Afghanistan), at the hands of a suicide bomber acting in a part of the world to which most of us will never go.”

Pastor Griffiths went on to say that war is not the only crisis in the world, as he referred to crises of economic, social and political proportions and how Canada has been “blessed beyond measure with vast resources, stable government, and a fair and just society that provides equal opportunity for everyone.”

Such a blessing, however, he said, “comes with the awesome task of using that blessing in ways that improve the lives of those who are struggling.”

Tributes paid during service at RCAF Memorial Park STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Sixty members of the community gathered for a brief remembrance service at Renfrew’s RCAF Memorial Park Sunday morning.

The service came at the start of a week that will feature remembrance or Remembrance Day services across the country.

Sunday’s narrator was Ron Price, who’s also president of the 433 Champlain Wing of the Air Force Association of Canada.

His tribute to veterans and fallen comrades began with these words: “Let us pause to remember those who made the supreme sacrifice of their lives while serving in the Armed Forces of Canada

and those of her allies, in all wars and military engagements; and in particular, those who died while serving in the Air Forces of the Commonwealth and Allied Nations.

“May their sacrifice inspire and strengthen our resolve to perform our daily tasks with diligence, honour and respect for freedoms so dearly won, that Canada may ever be worthy of their sacrifice.”

In his brief tribute, he also asked that “we pause to remember the peacekeeping forces who continue to service throughout the world, and those who serve and protect at home in our communities.”

Another AFAC member, Don Barkey, read the poem, High Flight, that was

The high untresspassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand and touched the face of God. The benediction, which was read by president Price, spoke of God’s loving, caring way of guiding and protecting sparrows, as well as the “men and women who fly the uncharted spaces of the sky.”

“In the solitude of flight,” he also said, “may the beauty of Thy greatness be revealed to each of them that they may pattern their lives after Thine.”

The 653 Champlain Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron marched into the service in the company of Air Force Association of Canada members.

War veterans honoured with ceremony in Douglas PETER CLARK

peter.clark@metroland.com

MPP John Yakabuski thanked Kevin and Kay O’Gorman for making the Bromley Veterans Remembrance Day Ceremony last Friday an annual event, and said the ceremony held at the Douglas cenotaph and St. Michael’s Catholic School has become significant each year.

“It’s become an unofficial kickoff to Remembrance Week, the St. Michael’s Remembrance Day Service,” Yakabuski said.

Yakabuski made reference to two men who participated in this year’s service, Second World War veterans Hayden Francis and Ed Stairs.

“Hayden and my dad came back from the war together,” Yakabuski noted.

Yakabuski said the wearing of the poppy is important. “It’s our way of symbolizing the sacrifice so many made.

“Thank you to those who have returned. Thank you for what they have done for us.”

Following the laying of wreaths at the cenotaph, the service – which included students from Douglas and Cobden schools – moved inside to the school auditorium.

“Remembrance Day provides us with an opportunity to honour and fondly remember our veterans,” Karen McDonald said on behalf of MP Cheryl Gallant.

“Ordinary citizens who made the ultimate sacrifice. I see Enrights, Searsons, Nevilles and others (names at the cenotaph).”

McDonald added that it was good to see Hayden Francis and Ed Stairs at the ceremony.

Dirk Rook gave greetings on behalf of Admaston-Bromley council and Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe.

“I’ve had the honour of walking the graveyards in Holland a number of times,” Rook said.

It certainly brings home the sacrifices they made, he added.

Before giving a closing prayer, Rev. Patricia Van Gelder addressed the children from the two schools.

She said that although Remem-

RCAF Park opened in 1968 on the shores of the Bonnechere River, where the cenotaph pays tribute to Renfrew airmen who served in the Second World War. One of the names listed on the monument is Flight Sgt. Mervin Cram, whose Stanraer flying boat from 120 squadron disappeared during a patrol flight on Aug. 23, 1942.

Admaston-Bromley

Bylaws pave way for new OMERS coverage LUCY HASS

lucy.hass@metroland.com

Admaston-Bromley council has passed a bylaw to authorize participation in the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement Savings (OMERS) primary pension plan, and the retirement compensation arrangement (RCA) that provides benefits for township employees.

Every person who is employed on a continuous full-time basis is eligible.

Anyone employed on other than a continuous full-time basis must meet certain eligibility criteria, such as hours of overtime, to apply for membership.

Last Thursday night council also passed a new employment bylaw, authorizing participation in OMERS. Under the bylaw, the township will provide an RRSP pension plan program for current employees who don’t want to participate in the OMERS plan.

Effective Nov. 1, 2011, municipal contributions will be equal to OMERS contribution rates for salaried employees and hourly rate wages based on a 40-hour work week.

The employee must match the township’s contribution to the plan.

The township will also provide life insurance coverage, longterm disability and a health benefit program.

The bylaw also mandates 13 paid holidays, and a vehicle allowance of 50 cents per kilometre for the first 5,000 km and 45 cents per additional kilometre.

Some employees will also receive a uniform and safety footwear allowance.

A final bylaw was largely a bookkeeping matter, as it amended previous human resources policies to accommodate the changes.

Couns. Ray Pender, Bob Dick and Michael Donohue each in-

troduced one of the work-related bylaws, BUILDING PERMITS Only four building permits were approved in AdmastonBromley Township in October.

One was for a store renovation valued at $23,000 and another for a $4,000 breezeway at the same location.

The other permits were for a $160,000 dwelling and $30,000 garage.

Four sewage permits were also approved, all for replacements.

FROSTY FUN FEB. 10 TO 12 Council has granted permission for the township’s Wards 1 and 2 recreation committee to hold its 2012 Douglas Frosty Fun winter carnival Friday, Feb. 10 to Sunday, Feb. 12.

The resolution said the carnival is conducted “for the enjoyment and betterment of the community.”

The Wards 3 and 4 committee is planning a Trivia Night for Saturday, Dec. 3 at the Douglas Hotel.

WATER-ICE RESCUE Pembroke is offering to provide water-ice rescue services to the township.

The township will further investigate the offer and seek the cost breakdown for any possible service.

Coun. Michael Donohue is meanwhile seeking more information on fire department response to accidents and the policy for financial reimbursement for their time on the scene.

Of particular concern is the use of fire staff for traffic control on non-township roads.

It was recognized that the entire area is vulnerable when local firefighters are called away for extended periods of time.

The second annual barbecue and bake sale hosted by Blue Energy and Gourley’s Variety and Gas Bar was a huge success Saturday. Sales of baked goods and bacon on the bun resulted in the raising of $2,360 for the digital mammography fund, which is part of Renfrew Victoria Hospital’s Call to Action Initiative. Saturday’s financial success will be added to the campaign to pay for a $700,000 mammography unit. It is scheduled to be up and running by February 2012. The volunteer barbecue crew, above, consists of Brent Leech, Steve Cahill, Matt Cahill, Kyle Rowley and Dave ‘The Mule’ Gallagher.

GREAT RESPONSE These are some of the key players in Saturday’s fundraiser for the digital mammography unit at Renfrew Victoria Hospital (RVH). From left are the newlymarried couple of Keith and Melissa Gourley, from Gourley’s Variety and Gas Bar; RVH community rep Cecie Whalen; Laurie Stroud of Bluewave Energy; and Barb Desilets, director of the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Foundation. The fundraiser has a different beneficiary each season. Last year, proceeds went to the Candlelighters.

THE CHANGING FACE OF RURAL MAIL A Canada Post community group mailbox has been set up on Opeongo Road in Admaston-Bromley Township. The large, green anchored steel box has 24 individual locked compartments, each serving one street address. Each unit also provides a larger compartment for parcel delivery, as well as a mailbox for outgoing letters. Roads superintendent Chris Kunopaski reported last week that Canada Post will be extending the pullover space for vehicles to prevent traffic congestion at the site.

He said similar units are being installed on Holmes Road and Pucker Street.

Police

Man arrested after fleeing from police On Friday, Nov. 4 Renfrew OPP officers attempted to stop a speeder on Calabogie Road.

The male driver didn’t stop and fled from police onto Fraser Road to Burnstown Road and then into Renfrew.

The male driver sped through Renfrew onto Highway 17, where the vehicle was identified and the officers ceased their attempt to stop the driver.

One officer parked at the intersection of Anderson Road and Calabogie Road, watching for the suspect vehicle.

The vehicle was spotted travelling southbound on Calabogie Road and then turned and struck the police cruiser.

The male driver was arrested for dangerous driving. The male driver and police constable were both treated at the Renfrew Victoria Hospital for minor injuries and released.

A 29-year-old man from Calabogie was charged with dangerous driving and flight from police. He was held in custody for a bail hearing Nov. 7.

Const. Jeff Hewitt led the investigation.

CALLS FOR SERVICE The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police responded to 134 calls for service during the past week.

CRIME PREVENTION WEEK IN ONTARIO Nov. 6 to 12 is Crime Prevention Week in Ontario, and the OPP recognizes the need to use technology in its delivery of innovative crime prevention strategies to help engage communities in the prevention of crime.

The OPP provides a variety of school-based and community-based programs designed to provide awareness and prevention tips for safe cyber experiences for children.

With more than 94 per cent of children accessing the Internet at home, technology and innovation are paramount to effectively addressing current Internet issues for kids such as netiquette, cyberbullying, security, privacy, risqué texting and gaming.

Crime prevention – it’s everyone’s business.

The scene where a police chase Friday ended in a collision.

A Calabogie man has been charged with fleeing police. officers from the Renfrew OPP have investigated eight domestic disputes.

One male was charged with assault and uttering threats.

MISCHIEF A vehicle was keyed (scratched with a key) and sustained damage on all sides.

The vehicle was parked on Plaunt Street South in Renfrew and was damaged over the weekend of Oct. 29-30.

There are no suspects.

PUBLIC INTOXICATION After a report from a concerned citizen about a highly intoxicated male, police investigated and arrested one male person.

The male was located at Munroe Avenue in Renfrew on Nov. 2 at about 10 p.m. in an intoxicated state.

A 46-year-old man from Griffith was arrested and held in custody until sober.

He was issued a ticket for being intoxicated in a public place.

THEFT Police are investigating after a trail camera was stolen from a rural property on Calabogie Road in the Township of Greater Madawaska.

The camera was stolen near the end of October and Const. Rick Shikatani is investigating.

A quantity of gas was stolen from a gas station in Renfrew on Oct. 26.

Const. Kerlous Tawdrous is investigating after a male paid a portion of his gas bill, and never re-

turned to pay the balance.

Educators and staff at the Mill of Kintail are devastated after their life-sized bear, Bruno, a taxidermied animal, was stolen recently.

“It was literally heart-wrenching,” said education co-ordinator Sarah O’Grady. “I don’t care my electronics are gone.”

The education centre at the Mill of Kintail was recently broken into and robbed overnight.

There was some vandalism, including destruction of a taxidermied snowy owl, and theft of all the electronics in the building, said O’Grady.

The worst theft of all was the rare bear, though, a highlight for many of the centre’s visitors, especially those from urban schools.

“The kids loved him, they could see his claws,” said O’Grady. “He totally enriched these kids’ experiences.”

Bruno was on loan to the Ministry of Natural Resources for a few years, but returned back to the centre last year.

Many of the visitors would leave with a photo of themselves alongside the reallife bear.

The large bear won’t be easy to hide, standing at a full five-feet tall.

“We’re hoping he doesn’t meet the same fate as the lady owl,” said O’Grady.

Because Bruno is so large, staff are hopeful that someone sees him and calls the Mill of Kintail or OPP to report his whereabouts, or anonymously returns him,.

“It’s kind of hard to hide him, unless he’s been placed in the woods,” O’Grady said.

It would be difficult to replace Bruno, because, beside the costs of the taxidermist, it could take years to locate an appropriate bear.

If anyone has information about his disappearance or a possible replacement, call 613-256-3610.

“I loved it, so when I heard that they took him, my fear was that they’re going to destroy him,” O’Grady said. “Because they don’t see the experiences that we have.”

RED-NECKED GREBE Judy and Murray Borer saw two migrants at Colton Lake on the same day. Last week I mentioned that they had seen a snow goose but they also saw a red-necked grebe. They said that the goose had been injured, but it was not on the lake a few days later and may have been able to continue south.

The red-necked grebe is a weak flier and rarely flies except on migration. It is an excellent swimmer and diver and is never seen on land. The black forehead, crown and nape, and the rusty red neck and breast are the best field marks. In flight the heads droops low and the legs dangle behind. They are a heavy bird with short, narrow wings which must beat rapidly to keep the bird in the air. We see them in our area only during migration.

The birds are tolerant of our presence near their feeding area and will fly a short distance away and return when we leave. They will be feeding more than in the summer to prepare for their journey to Arizona for the winter.

RENFREW'S HISTORIC THEATRE FRIDAY, NOV. 11 - THURSDAY, NOV. 17 14A

IT’S TRUE The snow buntings arrived in Admaston/Bromley during the weekend. Ron Ferguson saw about 50 of the birds gathering grit in a local sandpit. It seems early, but their normal arrival times are during the last week of October and the first week of November. They are following the tradition. How many we see this winter will depend on the amount of snow, both in the north to send them south, and in our area to have them stay.

Bill Wendt, Joanne McDonald and Marlene Hanneman saw two rough-legged hawks hunting on the Barr Line last Friday. Roughlegged hawks come in two colour phases, light and dark. Dark phase adults have dark brown head underparts and wing linings. Light phase birds have creamy white heads with dark brown streaks, and white-andbuff feather edges on the wings and body. Both phases have a white band on the tail and heavily feathered feet.

The results of the Project FeederWatch program of 2010-11 have been published, just in time for the start of the 2011-12 season.

Each location that hosted each species between November 2010 and April 2011 is listed.

The black-capped chickadee appears at the top of the list in four of the five locations: British Columbia (dark-eyed junco was at the top), Prairies, Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic.

The top ten species that appear at our feeders follow very closely the trend set in the rest of Ontario. The black-capped chickadee was at the top, followed by the blue jay, goldfinch, downy woodpecker, mourning dove, dark-eyed junco, cardinal, white-breasted nuthatch, hairy woodpecker and European starling. The cardinal is the only species that is not a regular at all feeders.

Editorial EDITORIAL

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The real war has just begun On Remembrance Day, we honour the fallen soldiers who lie in Flanders Fields and near battlefields around the globe. We thank those veterans whose presence at the National War Memorial in Ottawa and at cenotaphs throughout the country reminds us of the sacrifices that make our freedom possible.

Gathered near Parliament Hill, amid the pipes and parades, it’s easy to overlook the memorial itself. But take a good look at the bronze figures walking through the soaring granite arch. Guided by the winged figures of Peace and Freedom, they leave the guns of war behind and wearily make their way to what they hope will be a peaceful future, free of the hell from which they came.

Now look even closer, at their faces. Are these the same boys and girls who left their farms and towns as fresh-faced teens to take on the world?

No. They seem to have aged decades in just a few years. The sculptor has captured their utter fatigue, their hollow eyes and spent spirits. And even this powerful rendering is a sympathetic portrayal of the true cost of war.

As Canadians celebrate veterans and honour their service, we would do well to remember those faces. The soldiers now returning from Afghanistan might not be so dramatically changed in appearance, but inside, many have aged decades in just a few months. Many more do not carry in their hearts the peace and hope for the future the monument symbolizes.

It is well and good to rename highways and make speeches. But society – and government in particular – must be willing to get into the trenches and deal with the less public, much thornier issues of mental health, post-traumatic stress disorder, and reintegration to “normal” society for veterans who left as innocents and return broken in body and spirit.

The government must match its grand rhetoric with ample funding to rehabilitate wounded soldiers and educate those who don’t yet understand the demons they grapple with. But Veterans Affairs programs are being cut, and the Opposition’s investigation into those cuts has been stifled by government MPs. Adding the dates of the Afghan mission to the war memorial will hardly signal its end.

Our soldiers have fought and suffered in the field; the country must in turn fight for them, and embrace them, now that they are home again.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Wheat Board issue concerns NFU To the editor: As a farmer and a citizen who believes in democracy and fairness, I would like to outline some of the implications when, on Oct. 17, the Conservative government introduced legislation called the “Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmer Act” – which will eliminate the single desk selling agency through which western farmers sell their wheat and barley The Oct. 16 news release from Parliament Hill stated “the legislation, when passed, will give marketing freedom for those farmers.”

Keep in mind the words ‘marketing freedom’ are being used as catch phrase because it sounds more saleable.

In fact, it will be the big multi-national global grain companies who will get that marketing freedom to buy the wheat/ barley from whomever at whatever price they can get it.

Already four giant global grain companies – Cargil, Louis Dreyfus, ADM and Bunge effectively control 73 per cent of the global market for grain.

Bunge, the White Plains, N.Y.-based

company, has $50 billion (U.S.) in annual revenue and operates in more than 30 countries.

Does this pending control by a few large global grain companies not remind us of what the livestock industry has been through in the last seven years, forcing so many successfully-run livestock family farms to leave the industry?

Could the same be true in the future for those family-run grain farmers in the west?

The Canadian Wheat Board was designed to bring together grain producers’ marketing strength.

The idea was built by selling together – grain producers would get better terms, better prices and fairer treatment than if they were dealing individually with multi-billion-dollar corporations.

It must be noted that western Canadian grain producers never did receive and still don’t get the subsidies that their competitors in Europe and the U.S. get.

To the editor: This year on Nov. 5, Veterans Week 2011 will once again be launched with a variety of events and activities in order to remember.

Among the crowds, you will see men and women wearing different apparel that will no doubt attract some inquiring looks.

They are members of the veterans UN-NATO Canada and they are proudly wearing a leather vest with a large blue, yellow and black crest on the back.

The group was created in 2008 in order to bring together men and women who have chosen to defend Canadian values by enrolling in the Canadian forces. The group intends to maintain the sense of family unity known to military men and women. It also breaks the isolation of those who have experienced trauma and it offers them the help and support they need.

Today, this family of new-generation veterans has expanded and is now becoming a large-scale group in Canada and abroad.

Don’t be surprised to see them in various Remembrance Day commemorative ceremonies; instead, go meet them and listen to their fascinating stories.

GIFT OF STAINED GLASS FOR RENFREW VICTORIA HOSPITAL Marilyn York created and donated this stained glass art to the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Auxiliary. The red glass is a deep and rich colour and the mix of mottled and speckled greens reflect the light beautifully. The octagonal shape is rare and gives the piece added interest. “It would make a great wedding, birthday or Christmas gift for some who appreciates this art form,” says York. “It is now on sale in our gift shop for $150. I wanted to give my friends and family notice, because at this price I don’t think it will last too long.” If you, or someone you know, is interested, phone the RVH Gift Shop at 613432-4782, ext. 291. They are open Monday to Friday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. If you need it delivered out of town, York invites you to contact her at 613-432-5237.

Our Sergeant Based on Tom Sharbot’s memories Where she lies, grasses brush her head, Soft poppies whisper of blood and death White crosses sweep across the fields She closes her eyes and knows it’s real.

He was tall and lanky and chewed tobacco Some of the other lads thought he was wacko Because with the chaplain he’d stop to pray, But he was a Christian and that was his way.

This place, the memories she feels The tears, the grief, the struggle to heal Her heart thumps against her chest She begs their ghosts to stay at rest.

Already she hears the thunder of guns The thumps of feet as men try to run She flinches at the tirade of moans As the soldiers she sees die all alone.

Then she’s awake and there’s blue sky And she’ll have peace as she ages and dies But it came at a cost, and one she knows She bows her head across the somber rows.

To feel such pain, to accept the price To embrace the roll of the dice of life She wonders if she could ever be A true hero, as they are to you and me.

She turns to leave, but she cannot forget The poppy pinned above her breast As red as the blood of all those slain As dark as nights of those left to ache.

She raises her eyes to heaven’s roof Murmurs a prayer in a loving salute: “Peace for the dead and those who remain That not one soul may ever live in vain.”

Debate brews over selling booze in convenience stores DEREK DUNN

derek.dunn@metroland.com

A renewed push to allow the sale of beer and wine at convenience stores has an opposition coalition contacting municipal governments in Arnprior, McNab-Braeside and elsewhere.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), the Ontario Public Health Association, and the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health penned a letter detailing the dangers of alcohol and the rise of consumption in regions with privatized alcohol sales.

“Alcohol is not an ordinary commodity and it should not be sold as one,” the letter reads.

“The strong links between privatized alcohol sales, increased consumption and increased alcohol-related harms to society are well-documented.”

It goes on to say LCBO employees are trained in socially responsible service, including how to spot underage or intoxicated customers.

Ontario Convenience Stores president Dave Bryans has nothing against MADD and its partners that oppose the idea, but says studies and statistics prove consumers want the service and store employees are better than LCBO employees at following the rules.

‘BE CAREFUL AT FEAR-MONGERING’ “Look, we have a lot of respect for MADD, all of us do. But we have to be careful at fear-mongering,” Bryans said. “The fact is, MADD isn’t telling the whole story.”

He cites an independent study conducted by Statopex Field in May. It conducted an independent mystery shopping study of convenience stores, the LCBO and the Beer Store to determine how well each dealt with age checks of minors attempting to buy age-restricted products like tobacco and alcohol.

In the study, when independently tested with underage secret shoppers (age 15-18), convenience stores scored the highest with an 87.3 per cent pass rate, The Beer Store next with 80.7 per cent and LCBO last with 74.6 per cent; meaning one in four minors successfully purchased agerestricted products from LCBO, and one in five from The Beer Store – compared to one in eight

for convenience stores.

“The LCBO will get a slap on the wrist,” Bryans said. “We’ll see a family business (convenience store) shut down if an employee makes a mistake.”

An Angus Reid poll last February shows three in five Ontarians support private retailers selling alcoholic beverages in Ontario.

The anti-sale coalition says regulations have been shown to be better enforced when the seller is not as financially dependent on maximizing profits.

Bryans says the three non-Canadian owners of the Beer Store franchise take profits outside the province. He added that stores selling beer and wine usually see a boost in job creation.

More employees in store act as a robbery deterrent, he said, pointing to provinces that allow for the practice.

The coalition says Ontario has about 1,000 LCBO and Beer Stores, but if convenience stores are allowed to compete it could mean an additional 7,000 locations to buy booze. Bryans wants people walking to stores to buy alcohol and, besides, there are numerous rural gas stations and other outlets in Ontario that already sell beer and wine. They’ve seen sale of incidentals like chips and peanuts increase some 30to 50 per cent. That helps small business in rural communities, and government gets more revenue through licensing fees, he added.

“It’s good for everybody,” he said. “We just have the most archaic, outdated laws in the country. But it’s evolving.”

Still, Premier Dalton McGuinty has said the law won’t change anytime soon. Bryans said he is patient. After all, the issue has been brewing for 20 years.

RENFREW MAYOR’S REACTION The same letter distributed

by MADD, the Ontario Public Health Association and the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health was only received as information by Renfrew town council last month.

The issue “has no particular impact on this community at this time. I’m not aware of any local implications,” Renfrew mayor Bill Ringrose told The Mercury.

If and when the provincial government permits the sale of

booze in convenience stores, there’s no role to play by council, suggested Ringrose.

“I thought MADD’s response was premature, but I guess they’re lobbying through the municipal governments to influence any (possible) provincial decision.”

At the same time, Ringrose noted that stores in some isolated northern Ontario communities permit the sale of alcoholic beverages when there is no liquor store.

As for liquor sales in Renfrew convenience stores down the road, Mayor Ringrose said, “I’m

neutral. I’ll let the consumers decide what they want.

It was a phenomenal sports day for the St. Joseph’s Jaguars Thursday afternoon. The Jaguars scored a pair of wins over the cross-town rival Renfrew Collegiate Raiders on the boys volleyball court, and by doing so, completed a rare feat in the 2011 season. Both Jaguar squads capped off unbeaten Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association regular seasons at 9-and-0 with their victories. While this was going on, the Jaguar junior girls turned back the visiting Bishop Smith Crusaders 33-17 in quarterfinal hoops playoff action.

Jaguars put cap on two We need one more Leafs-Bruins trade 9-and-0 seasons PETER CLARK PETER CLARK

A rare perfect double on the line made the match just that much more gut-wrenching for the St. Joseph’s Senior Jaguars.

But when the last serve fell untouched just inside the baseline in the Renfrew Collegiate Raiders’ side of the court last Thursday (Nov. 3) afternoon, the Jaguars could celebrate, not one, but two, unbeaten 2011 regular seasons in Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association boys volleyball.

The Senior Jaguars’ 15-13 victory over the Raiders in the thrilling match at RCI’s Grant Gymnasium gave St. Joseph’s some history.

Coupled with St. Joseph’s three-set junior triumph over RCI two hours before, the Jaguars completed the rare feat of one school capturing first place in both divisions with twin un-

beaten records of 9-and-0.

The five-set senior match seesawed back and forth all the way through.

No game finished more than four points apart, and the Raiders battled back several times in the fifth set before the Jaguars posted the final two points to put it away.

“It was a good competitive match, a good way to end the (regular) season,” Senior Jaguars coach Trent Skelhorn said.

“It was nice to see both (St. Joseph’s) teams go undefeated.

I don’t know if that’s ever happened before.”

Scores in the senior match were 23-25, 25-21, 25-21, 21-25 and 15-13 St. Joseph’s.

Both Jaguar teams have earned the right to host all Renfrew County playoff games as long as they remain in contention.

See ‘JAGUARS’, Page 14

The Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs have been trading partners on more than one occasion in recent memory.

You don’t have to remind fans of either team twice.

In 2005, Tuukka Rask was drafted by Toronto in the first round. He was sent a year later to Boston for Andrew Raycroft in a deal of netminders.

In September 2009, the Leafs acquired Phil Kessel for draft picks. You know the story. The main piece going Boston’s way was No. 2 draft selection the next year, Tyler Seguin. Fans in Boston chant “Thank-You Kessel” to this very day.

And last spring, long-time Leaf defenceman Tomas Kaberle waved his no-trade clause and went to Boston in exchange for Bruins top draft pick Joe Colborne. Kaberle now suits up with the Carolina Hurricanes, but not before he got his name engraved on the Stanley Cup. So who has won all these Leafs-Bruins confrontations?

Head-to-head, it’s been Bos-

ton, highlighted by Seguin’s hat trick last Saturday.

Long term?

Perhaps the jury is still out, but one Bruin fan I know always reminds one Leaf fan I know, “Who leads in Cups 1-0?”

I’d like to see Toronto and Boston play Let’s Make a Deal one more time.

Send Joey Crabb to the Bruins. Something about calling him the Boston Crabb just seems to be a hockey nickname for the ages.

Messier on the run: Mark Messier has won six Stanley Cups, but his most gruelling challenge may have been running the New York City Marathon Nov. 6. He ran for charity, and to challenge himself as a 50year-old. Messier completed the course in four hours, 14 minutes and 27 seconds.

Hall bound? Tony La Russa announced his retirement shortly after the St. Louis Cardinals won the World Series, his third as a manager. It’s funny, La Russa’s two titles with St. Louis (2006 and 2011) came in years when they weren’t expected to win. But his teams were often heavy favourites, and only once – the 1989 Oakland Athletics – did they pull through. As for the Baseball Hall-of-Fame, I think they put him in. * * * Scott Niedermayer becomes the third New Jersey Devil to have his sweater retired when his No. 27 is raised to the rafters Dec. 16.

The other Devils to receive this honour are defencemen Scott Stevens (4) and Ken Daneyko (3).

And for this week: Here’s one to discuss over a beverage.

The hurt continues for the Wolves PETER CLARK

peter.clark@metroland.com

When a team is riding what is now a nine-game losing streak, there will be some nights when they feel they deserved a better fate.

Friday would be one of those nights.

The Renfrew Timberwolves were rolling along with a 5-1 lead in the second period of their Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League contest at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. But it filtered away quickly.

OTTAWA WEST 8, WOLVES 5

STITTSVILLE 4, WOLVES 1 Newcomer Will Smith put Renfrew on the scoreboard to tie the game 1-1 midway through the opening period Sunday afternoon.

But that was it for the Wolves’ offence.

Scott Barnes notched his first of two when he solved Richard Barr on a penalty shot six minutes later, and the Stittsville Royals never looked back.

They added single markers in each of the second and third periods, and backed by netminder Erik Miksik’s 40-save performance, Stittsville skated to a 4-1 victory at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex.

At 4-11-and-0, the defending division champion Wolves trail both Stittsville and the Pontiac Juniors by four points in the battle for a 2011-12 Valley Division playoff spot.

The Wolves have a pair of home games at the MAC this weekend.

They take on the Ottawa Junior Canadians Friday at 8 p.m.

The Almonte Thunder is in town Sunday at 7 p.m.

TERRY SERVISS

Upper Ottawa Valley Aces

While most kids spent the last weekend in October preparing their costumes for Halloween, the players of the Upper Ottawa Valley Minor Bantam Aces AA hockey team were putting together their best tournament effort of the young season. The Ottawa Fall Classic pitted 16 AA teams from across Ontario against each other.

The Aces started the round robin with a 4-2 loss to the Duffield Devils. But they rebounded with an 8-0 thrashing of the Stouffville Clippers.

Needing a win to put themselves into the playoff round, the Aces next game was a nail-biter versus the Scarborough Bruins which ended in a 2-2 tie. This left the Aces tied in points for the final playoff spot with the Cumberland Grads.

Luckily, the Aces’ win over Stouffville guaranteed them the last spot with a better plus minus.

The Aces’ quarterfinal match was a heart-stopper against the Mississauga Jets, which saw the Aces finally prevail 3-2 in double overtime.

Next up in the semifinals was the Duffield Devils, who had beaten the Aces in the first game of the tournament. This time the Aces turned the tables, beating the previously undefeated Devils 3-2, vaulting the Aces into the tournament final against their league rival, the Nepean Raiders.

Tired and down to 12 skaters, the Aces came up empty, losing 5-0. Still, it was a great tournament and the Aces can look for redemption in their next league game against Nepean.

Interested in catching some great AA hockey action? Check out the Upper Ottawa Valley Aces online at upperottawavalleyaces.com., five teams from minor peewee to minor midget.

The Bantam AA Aces lineup is made up of Nathan Vandekemp, Evan Schriver, Andrew Chisholm, Calvin Williams, Luka Marinic, Braedon Welk, Ben Kubiseski, Brendan Thompson, Nathan Prince, James Mansveld, Andrew McIntyre, Tanner Charette, Jacob Steege, Ben Hodd, Brandon Holly, Zach Levasseur and John Ryan; coach Jason Gould, assistant coaches Nathan Latchford and Brent Gould, trainer Jonathan Williams and manager April Levasseur.

In a span of just over seven minutes, the visiting Ottawa West Golden Knights struck for five goals to snare a 6-5 lead.

A shorthanded goal early in the third, and an empty net marker, secured the Ottawa West win.

Brady Clouthier and Tanner Smith had two goals for the Wolves, and Scott Conroy the other.

Ryan Sterling was the lone two-goal architect for the Golden Knights. Mitch Bird flew in behind the Renfrew defence to net the eventual game winner on a breakaway late in the second period.

The Wolves led 2-0 after one before the middle-period flurry saw nine goals scored in 9:35.

The Wolves seemed to take control early in the second period when two goals on both halves of a four-minute powerplay shot them into a 4-0 lead.

But lo and behold, Ottawa West did the same thing five minutes later.

The West’s Matt DiMillo came in as the runner-up in a bout with the Wolves Kurtis Leclaire halfway through a then 5-2 game, but it was the Golden Knights

who seemed to gain momentum from it.

Trailing 7-5, the Wolves had their chances with 14 shots in the third period, but couldn’t beat back-up Benoit Larocque, who took over Ottawa West goalcrease duties from starter Jacob Blair after the fourth Renfrew goal.

Richard Barr went the distance in goal for the Wolves.

In a game of several momentum swings in the second period, Kip Mulvihill of the Wolves coaching staff had a quick summation of the game.

“We led 5-1. It should have been signed, sealed and delivered.”

Thomas Kellar and Colin Topping for their leadership and support at the meet.

They couldn’t knock off the giant, but the Renfrew Collegiate Senior Raiders went down with guns blazing.

The heavily-favoured Arnprior Redmen scored a late touchdown to finally put the pesky Raiders away 27-18 in the Renfrew County High School Football final in Arnprior Friday afternoon.

The win allows Arnprior to represent Renfrew County against the Lanark High School Football champion St. John (Perth) Spartans.

Last Friday’s match-up of arch-rivals kept fans on the edges of their boot straps throughout. The first half had four lead changes with the Redmen owning a 14-12 lead at the break.

Jason Fleury scored the game’s first points and Gord Gaddess later gave the Raiders a 12-7 lead with RCI’s second major.

The Redmen appeared to open some breathing room early in the fourth quarter when they went up 20-12, but Gaddess got RCI fans and the team back into the game when he returned the ensuing kickoff for a touchdown.

A two-point convert failed, but the Raiders got the ball back when quarterback-kicker Cooper Brown successfully engineered a short kickoff.

Arnprior added a converted touchdown late in the game to seal the verdict.

The Junior Raiders dropped a 22-21 heartstopper to the Madawaska Valley District Wolves in their Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association junior girls basketball quarterfinal in Barry’s Bay Nov. 3.

The Raiders jumped out to a 9-0 lead, but buoyed by the hometown crowd, the Wolves battled back in a game not decided until the final seconds.

Two foul shots from Amanda Tubman had RCI up 21-20 before a breakaway layup gave Barry’s Bay its margin of victory.

Coach Jason Wilson said the team has a good start on next year with a nucleus of Rachel Fortier, Jenika Steele, Megan Coad, Jacqueline Gauvreau, Bria Katsoulis and Abby Cliche returning.

The Senior Raiders (7-and-2) final regular-season game had no bearing on their second-place standing. They wound up on the short end of a 43-35 decision to the Fellowes Falcons Nov. 2. Brooke Senack had 12 points.

The Junior Raiders (6-and-3) topped the Pembroke school 31-24. Saralyn Deslaurier and Jenika Steele paced the offence while coach Jason Wilson credited Meagan Beattie, Brooke Shepherd and Megan Coad with stalwart efforts defensively.

CROSS-COUNTRY

BOYS VOLLEYBALL

John Pettigrew led a contingent of 16 RCI Raiders at the 2011 Ontario high school (OFSAA) cross-country championship at the Hornet’s Nest in Gloucester Saturday.

Pettigrew finished 13th in a field of 250 runners in the midget boys event with a time of 17 minutes, 58.2 seconds.

The races were exciting, and highly competitive. RCI athletes had many strong performances, coaches Kathleen Mottershead and Roger Poirier said.

“All of you are among the top athletes in your age category in the province,” coach Mottershead added.

The coaches thanked graduating athletes Hillary MacMillan, Mikaela Barnes,

The Junior Raiders ended their boys volleyball season with a 3-0 loss to the St. Joseph’s Jaguars at the Grant Gymnasium last Thursday.

Coaches Kim Oattes and Cheryl Barber said the Raiders battled and stayed competitive throughout the match.

They credited Justin Cruise, Jessey Chapieski, Logan Ryan, Calum Chalmers and Taylor Mayotte with stellar performances.

The Senior Raiders were nicked in five sets by the Jaguars. The deciding set finished 15-13.

Despite a good record of 6-and-3, the Raiders enter the playoffs as the fifth seed in a highly competitive senior loop.

RCI senior teams advance PETER CLARK

peter.clark@metroland.com

Two Renfrew Collegiate Raider teams remain alive in the Renfrew County playoffs.

The Raiders advanced to the Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association senior girls basketball final with a 43-30 win over the Madawaska Valley District Wolves at the Grant Gymnasium Tuesday.

Maddie Kubiseski and Hillary MacMillan both had a dozen points, while Brooke Senack collected eight and Adrianne Guty five points for RCI. Erika Jenkins and Meghan Forgie had great games on the defensive end, coach Adam Noack said.

The Raiders were consistent in putting 10, 11, 8 and 14 points on the board by quarter intervals.

“Our goal from the get-go was to get to A EOSSAA (Ontario high school championship), and we’ve done that,” coach Noack said. “Anything else would be gravy.

I’m really proud of the girls.”

The Raiders meet the Arnprior Redmen in the Renfrew County final at Arnprior at 5 p.m. this afternoon. Regardless of the outcome, the Raiders will compete at EOSSAA for A schools next Wednesday and Thursday in Almonte.

The Raiders join Mackenzie, the Arnprior Redmen and the host St. Joseph’s Jaguars in the final four today.

Jaguars hosting two championships PETER CLARK

peter.clark@metroland.com

Both St. Joseph’s Jaguars boys volleyball teams continue to keep their unbeaten seasons intact.

Playoffs included, they are 11-and-0 following wins at home Tuesday. Both host 2011 Renfrew County semifinal and title matches today (Thursday).

The Junior Jaguars blanked the Mackenzie Mustangs and Madawaska Valley District Wolves 3-0.

St. Joseph’s meets the Opeongo Wildcats in one semi-final. The Fellowes Falcons and Madawaska lock horns in the other.

On the senior side Tuesday, the Jaguars defeated the Arnprior Redmen and Opeongo Wildcats, both by 3-1 counts. The fourth set in the match with Opeongo was a barnburner which finished 31-29.

St. Joseph’s takes on Mackenzie, while the Renfrew Collegiate Raiders battle the Arnprior Red-

men in today’s semi-finals.

Arnprior topped the Jaguars 24-19 in the Renfrew County junior girls semifinal at ADHS. “It was a good defensive battle,” coach Mark Valliquette said. “We held their top shooters in check for most of the game.”

The Jaguars host the Eastern Ontario high school (EOSSAA) junior girls basketball championship Nov. 16.

Opeongo is the Renfrew County representative.

COME-FROM-BEHIND WIN

Renfrew Fraser’s Clothes Shop defenceman Jake Lefebvre leads the charge for the loose puck during Arnprior’s 16-team bantam house league tournament last weekend. Fraser’s trailed Stittsville 3-1, but rallied to win 4-3 in overtime Sunday morning. Ironically, Stittsville still advanced as the winner of Pool A. Stittsville beat Kanata 6-1 in one semi-final, while a second Renfrew team (Budget Roofing) advanced out of the other semi-final with a 3-2 win over Richmond. Stittsville defeated Renfrew 6-4 in the final with the help of Maxine Pare’s hat trick. Budget Roofing’s scorers were Nicholas Hazen, Dawson Campbell, Evan Zohr and Jared Leclaire-Gilmore.

Pastor Ernie Weigelin of Eganville wraps up a weekend fundraiser at the Golden Lake Community Centre where Lantern Ministries holds regular gatherings. The outdoor camp-out from Friday night until Sunday afternoon raised more than $6,400 for the Child Rescue Fund, a cause the community church supports on an ongoing basis. The ministry plans to make the fundraising camp-out an annual event.

LUCY HASS lucy.hass@metroland.com

To Pastor Ernie Weigelin, fundraising is not about dollars and cents. It’s about lives. It’s about every precious child saved because someone else cared.

Weigelin camped out at the Golden Lake Community Centre last weekend, from Friday morning until Sunday afternoon, to raise $6,400 for the Child Rescue Fund.

That money will save 50 children. It’s a pretty impressive number that has even more impact when you picture almost two classes of children, all in jeopardy of falling victim to sex trafficking. But now they are saved.

Weigelin’s razor-sharp focus is maintained by the power of imagery and empathy. We live in a country where most children enjoy the warmth of physical comfort and family care and compassion, and the contrasting fate of children elsewhere is heartbreaking and shocking.

Event organizers 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.

Poverty also drives families to turn against their own to survive, allowing their children to become sex slaves. And, sadly, often the victimizers are foreigners; men from other countries who travel for sex.

If the children don’t co-operate, they are tortured or beaten by the brothels

that enslave them, Weigelin explained.

Watching a group of local children in the playground at the Golden Lake Community Centre, it’s hard to imagine such horror could ever befall an innocent child.

But it does.

And the children of this congregation understand. Each week, at regular Lantern of Hope Ministries services, Ernie and Joann Weigelin of Eganville spread the message of love, compassion and caring.

At those services, the children contribute to the Child Rescue program through special offering boxes that raise enough for them to save one child every two months.

“We’re always helping kids; rescuing kids,” says Weigelin, stressing how every single life matters.

“If everybody gets involved it’s no big deal,” says Weigelin.

One hundred per cent of the funds go to Pearl Alliance (Messenger International) and Life Outreach International. Money raised by Lantern of Hope Ministries has already funded construction of a safe house in Saang, Cambodia.

But the safe house is more than a refuge from sexual abuse. It is also a school, a church and a community centre.

Lantern of Hope Ministries is also fully supporting 12 women who are learning textile trades to support their families.

For more information on the ministry and its projects, call Weigelin at 613-6286760.

Pair of Renfrew Fair winners become district champions STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Adele McLeod, 84, of Burnstown and Shannon Yolkowskie, 11, of Renfrew have returned victorious from the annual competition of District 2 fair champions.

Winning exhibitors from each of the district’s 12 fairs this year — including Renfrew, Arnprior, Beachburg and Cobden — were invited to compete in the District 2 championship Oct. 29 in Lombardy, Ont. The competition featured entries in the quilt, poster, bread and chocolate chip categories.

“I’ve been making bread about 75 years,” says McLeod, whose baking beginnings were with her mom, Bertha Robertson of Goshen, way back when.

“I was the last hatch,” says McLeod with a twinkle in her eye while referring to her parents’ five boys and one girl.

And there’s no reason to get out of the kitchen now, says McLeod, who over the years has also had several quilt winners at the Renfrew Fair.

Part of the fun is winning awards over the years, but just being active with the

various categories creates the most fun, says McLeod.

“It’s just fun participating. And it will be more fun winning down in Toronto.

“I won once down in Toronto (several years ago),” she adds, of her chances of winning at the provincial championships in February 2012.

Husband Allan, to whom she’s been married 64 years, also gets a big kick out of her involvement in the many Renfrew Fair entries over the years.

And Judy Dobec, general manager of the Renfrew Agricultural Society, called McLeod and Yolkowskie amazing talents.

“Oh, I’m just proud of her. It’s so exciting for the family,” says Yolkowskie’s mom, Heather, of her daughter’s win in the chocolate chip cookie category for youngsters ages 10 to 15.

Nor does her daughter seem ready to abandon the kitchen any time soon.

Aside from being a great chance to spend quality time with her mom, she enthusiastically predicts, “Don’t worry, I’ll be baking until I’m 84.”

Mercury photo by Steve Newman In addition to taking home red ribbons for their district victories, Yolkowskie Adele McLeod, who holds her winning district entry of 60 per cent whole wheat bread, is also received $15 in cash and McLeod joined by Renfrew Fair women’s division president Barb Scott Cole and prize-winning young$50. ster Shannon Yolkowskie in front of the Renfrew Agricultural Society’s headquarters.

Sports wrap up Both senior and junior football seasons have ended on a strong note.

Though both suffered defeats, the seasons were considered a success, with many new players on both teams.

A special thanks goes out to the coaches for once again providing their expertise to their squads.

Well done team.

The junior boys volleyball season ended Thursday. Finishing 18, the team still managed to play very well throughout the year.

With all new players on the team this year, the team still coped in the league, and played very competitively in every game.

Once again, special thanks goes out to the coaches for their outstanding efforts.

Heading to the playoffs is the senior boys volleyball team that ended the regular season with a record of 6-3. With a strong team and everyone healthy entering the post-season, the team will look to once again to qualify for EOSAA. Good job team.

The junior girls basketball team season ended on a disappointing note, losing by just one point to Madawaska to finish out of the playoffs.

However, in a highly competitive league the side posted a respectable 6-4 record.

The school is very proud of the team’s success. Good luck next year.

The senior girls basketball team posted a strong 7-2 record and sits in second place in the league. This sets them up for success in the playoffs.

The cross-country team quali-

35 November 10, 2011 - The Renfrew Mercury

The Red Hatters were welcoming in Halloween Oct. 19 at Rocky Mountain House. Above are Joan Curry, left, and Jean Chiarelli of Kanata, and, at right, Virginia Durand of Dacre. Red Hatters attended from the Cornwall and Prescott areas, Orleans, Ottawa, Arnprior, Pembroke, Petawawa and from Campbell’s Bay, Shawville, Otter Lake and other locations on the Quebec side.

WITCHES AND BLACK CATS IN RED HATS The Ottawa District Queen’s Council and Ottawa Valley & Pontiac Queen’s Council meet twice a year. They were in Merrickville last spring, and on Oct. 19, were hosted by the Renfrew Red Hatters under the direction of Queen Jill Lepack and Vice-queen Pam Jackson. The theme on this occasion was Witches and Black Cats in Red Hats. The group was also treated to the tones of the Valley Harmonizers, which included a sing-along. Conductor Barry Stephens, left, leads the Harmonizers. The Red Hatters will be meeting in Barry’s Bay in May 2012. Mercury photos by Peter Clark

The Renfrew Mercury - November 10, 2011

1936: Old publications found at Exchange Hotel NOVEMBER 16, 1911 GRAND CONCERT TO BE HELD: The Sons of Scotland propose giving a grand concert here on St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s night, Nov. 10. The selection of talent, some of whom are well known and esteemed here, and all of whom are known at least by reputation as gifted artists, will show the excellent promise for a splendid eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entertainment. One feature will be the playing of that gifted pianist, Dr. Robb. Dr. Robb will play No.2 and No.8 Liszt Rhapsodies, an arrangement of his own of Scottish music.

METHODIST CHURCH CHORUS: The Renfrew Methodist Church and the Pembroke Methodist Church have entered into a rather pleasing form of what might be called reciprocity. The two choirs are preparing the beautiful cantata, A Prince of Peace, by E.L. Ashford, the Renfrew choir under the able leadership of Mr. A. W. Easton, and the Pembroke choir under the skilled direction of Mr. Rickwood. The contention is for both choirs to join forces and give the cantata, first in Renfrew on Dec. 5 and then in Pembroke on Dec. 7. At the Renfrew event the Pembroke soloists will take the solo parts, while at Pembroke, Renfrew soloists will take the solo parts. At both places the combined choirs (numbering 65 voices) will carry the main part of the program, and the events ought to be genuine musical treats.

NOVEMBER 5, 1936 OLD PUBLICATIONS FOUND AT EXCHANGE HOTEL: In the making of certain structural changes to the interior of the Exchange Hotel a few days ago, Byron Electrician found, between the third floor ceiling and the roof, a bundle of papers yellow with age. There were copies of the Montreal Gazette of 1849 and 1850 addressed to Mr. John Munro at Castleford. There was also a Montreal publication; Agricultural Journal of Nov. 1st, 1849 and a copy of the Journal of Education in which a reference to Renfrew County appears.

In this remote day, the people of the Second Chute, now Renfrew, seemingly got their mail at Castleford. The John Munro mentioned is believed to be the builder of the Exchange Hotel and to have given his name to the street which intersects Raglan at Exchange Hotel.

CAR MARKERS FOR 1937 HAVE ARRIVED IN RENFREW: Two thousand 1937 car markers for sale to car owners have been received by Mr. John M. Airth of Barr Street South, Renfrew. No

OLGA LEWIS FROM THE OLD FILES truck markers were included in the consignment, but they are expected to come soon. The new markers have white figures on a red background with a crown on each upper corner, a reminder that this is coronation year.

A new marker may be seen in the car of Provincial Constable Johnston. There is, this year, no prefix, but the markers bear an affix. All form of motor vehicle licenses are issued by Mr. Airth, except those for motorcycles, which are to be had in Toronto.

Last year there were issued in Renfrew 2,000 licenses for passenger cars, 250 for trucks and 150 for trailers.

NOVEMBER 10, 1971 PADDOCK LOUNGE OPENS: The large house on Stewart street, which Jim Baskin purchased when he was the local member of parliament, became the White House when Mr. Baskin left his seat. Last weekend the White House celebrated its new addition, The Paddock Lounge. Friday night was the opening night, and the Honey West show, with local boy Al Brisco on steel guitar, filled the new room to capacity. The crowd was as large, or larger, on Saturday afternoon and evening with some seated in the White House proper. The home atmosphere was commented on by many, Mr. Baskin said, and Al Brisco remarked that the band was looking forward to playing here the rest of the week, and hopes to be invited back in the spring.

BELL ASKS 40 PERCENT INCREASE FOR RENFREW: Renfrew telephone subscribers will pay an additional 40 cents on their basic telephone rate if the Canadian Transport Commission approves the rate increase requested by Bell telephone.

The charge per month is $4.30 at present, and the proposed nine and a half per cent increase would bring it to 4.70. The company says that expenses have outstripped revenues under its present schedule, and it blames this on the inflationary situation of the economy. Bell subscribers are charged according to the number of telephones they can reach without paying a long distance charge, and in relation to the distance between associated exchanges.

Laft theatre has had a bit of a disappointment.

Due to a lack of male actors during our fall auditions, we have had to cancel our November show and postpone it to late April.

We are presenting the same show – A Christmas Cactus, a farcical mystery.

We will keep our present cast and one male has since auditioned, so we are now looking for one more male.

The spring show will accommodate the Money Concepts fundraising dinner which was slated for November and Laft members wish to thank John Wilson and his staff for being so understanding.

Patron memberships which were eligible for November will now extend to the spring and we want to thank them for their patience.

Laft now has a board of managers and it is looking to a busy spring with some new ideas coming forward.

For information about volunteering for the spring show, call the producer, Gladys Sidock at 613-432-2549 or email at sidock@nrtco. net.

Laft looks forward to bringing laughs galore in April.

Keep the dates of April 26,27,28 open to attend the show. In the meantime, check out our website www. laftplayers.ca.

Autumn Leaves curling season takes to the road across the Valley

BARBARA WESTGARTH Renfrew Curling Rink

Eight ladies from the Renfrew Curling Club travelled to Pembroke on Wednesday (Nov. 2) for the first game of the season in the Autumn Leaves series.

This intramural competition is played out with clubs from Pembroke, Arnprior, Eganville and Killaloe, and gives ladies from each of those clubs a chance to play

in a friendly competition without too much pressure to win.

Renfrew got off to a slow start, winning one of their four games.

The team of Barb Westgarth, Shelley Jamieson, Anne Windle and Barb Roy won against the second Renfrew team of Jane Hunter, Willy Lafrance, Joan Hickey and Jean Klages in the morning.

Lieth Collins stepped in to replace Anne Windle on the team led by Barb

Westgarth in the afternoon game and lost to Pembroke while Jane Hunter’s team lost to Killaloe.

Killaloe leads in points after the first round of play.

REPAIRS NEAR COMPLETION

Repairs at the club are almost complete.

The ice tech and his volunteer team are

standing by to start to put the ice in as soon as they have the word to go ahead.

In the meantime the ladies are hosting a bake sale and jewelry party in the club on Sunday, Nov. 20 at 2 p.m., with all proceeds going to the curling club. It’s a great opportunity to stock up on Christmas baking while Christmas shopping at the same time.

Everyone is welcome to enjoy our ladies’ great cooking skills.

(Cairn Terrier) Age 14 years, 3 months

After living a lot longer than expected, Wilson left us on October 26, 2011 of a heart attack.

He was a little dog with a big attitude and if you didn’t like him, that was your problem. He felt he had many other fans, and he did!

He loved birthdays and Christmas and raiding the pea and carrot patch in the summer.

Wilson loved his walks and made many friends; both two-legged and four-legged.

We would like to thank those who showed him special attention: Ruth and Reina for trips to the vet; Colleen, George, Nadeana and Patrick for dog-sitting; the girls at Pet Valu for treats; Peter for his daily six-pack of treats; Eleanor for treats; Cathy, Mona, Gail, Carol, Lawrence, Yvette, Joanne, Norma, Nancy, Tamara, Ed, Jim, Devin, Richard, Tyler, Kelsey, Lyle and especially Diane for her patience at grooming time.

“Wilson, you were such a special little guy and if we could reach up and hold a star for every time you made us smile, the entire evening sky would be in the palm of our hands.”

JANET MCNULTY In loving memory of a dear wife who left me suddenly 4 years ago November 15, 2007 There is a husband who misses you sadly, And finds the time long since you went, And I think of you daily and hourly But try to be brave and content.

But the tears I shed in silence, And breathe a sigh of regret, For you were mine and I remember Though all the world forget.

In my heart your memory lingers, Always tender, fond and true, There’s not a day I do not think of you.

Forever in my thoughts, always in my heart.

I love and miss you my dear Love your husband, William J

IN MEMORIAM

WHITE In memory of my beloved husband Leslie A White Nov 11, 2007 You made my life worth living, Your smile, the things you did.

For these and all the other things, I thank God for giving me you.

You gave us many things in life, gifts both great and small, But most of all you gave us love, The greatest gift of all.

Now you’ve just walked ahead of us and we have to understand, We must release the ones we love And let go of their hand.

But we try and cope the best we can, We’re missing you so much.

If only we could see you and feel your gentle touch.

Yes, you’ve just walked on ahead of us.

Don’t worry we’ll be fine, For days without a thought of you are very hard to find.

Love and miss you, Mom Keith, Anita, Kendra and Riley

IN MEMORIAM

JANET MCNULTY In loving memory of a Precious Mom Janet McNulty who passed November 15, 2007 She was taken without any warning, Her going left hearts filled with pain.

As time speeds on, four years have passed, Since death its gloom, its shadow cast.

Within our home, where all seemed bright, And took from us a shining light.

We miss that light, and forever will, Her vacant place there’s none to fill.

Down here we mourn, but not in vain, For up in Heaven we will meet again.

But though she is gone from amongst us, In our hearts she will always remain.

Forever in our thoughts, always in our hearts.

We love and miss you Mom. Lewis, Rose and family, Donna Karen, Kevin, Jen and family, Lynn, Kerry-Ann and Kelly

Please give.

Your last parting wish We would like to have heard; And breathed in your ear Our last parting word.

Only those who have lost Are able to tell The pain in the heart At not saying farewell.

A bouquet of beautiful memories Sprayed with a million tears, Wishing God could have spared you, If just for a few more years.

In loving memory of a dear husband, father and poppa who passed away November 10, 2001 Memories are precious possessions That time can never destroy.

For it is in happy remembrance That the heart finds its greatest joy.

If memories bring you closer, We are never far apart.

Not a day will we forget you, You will always be in our heart.

VERNA THOMPSON In loving memory of a dear wife, mother, mother-in-law and grandmother, who passed away November 11, 1990 We thought of you today, But that is nothing new.

We thought of you yesterday And will tomorrow too.

We think of you in silence And make no outward show, For what it meant to lose you, Only those who loved you, know.

We miss you in so many ways, We miss the things you used to say, And when old times we do recall, It’s then we miss you most of all.

Always a smile, instead of a frown, Always a hand, when one is down, Always true, thoughtful and kind, Wonderful memories she left behind.

Always in our thoughts Forever in our hearts Love, Channel and families

I have felt the breeze upon my face, The breath of all my children, One was lost, and now is found, I rest my weary head upon the ground.

Throughout the years, my hope was there, And through my children, kept her near, Knowing that all are safe for now.

For darkened years, our tears not in vain, Remembrance softens hearts that ache, Healing as we find in each other, Embraced by you, our dearest mother. … June, Bruce Roberta, Yvonne In tribute to the mother I never met…

If I had known my birth mother Iris beyond my infancy, I would have loved her even more dearly than I loved those who cared for me when I was unaware of her existence.

I now have come to know her through my newly discovered dear sisters and brothers who shared her certainty that somewhere I was waiting, unknowing, to be found. I grieve that I did not know her, but am comforted that she carried my baby picture with her until she departed this life ten years ago. I keep her picture near me at all times. Janet…

To the editor: This year’s Halloween night was just a perfect night for the kids to get all dressed up and go out in pursuit of sweet candy and treats.

Both my nine-year-old son and two-yearold daughter had costumes that their greataunt had spent hours sewing for them.

My son wanted to be a devil and my sister, a make-up artist, had him looking great!

You could tell how proud he was of the whole costume.

This year was a little different for us as it was the first time that our two-year old daughter was going to be eating some of the treats from these door-to-door visits. Unfortunately she has been diagnosed with severe allergies to both peanuts and tree nuts, which is potentially life threatening.

Imagine your two-year-old baby with anything life threatening – for a just a second!

We have to carry epi-pens (life-saving adrenaline shots) everywhere we go, as the risk for exposure is so great.

People with allergies to nuts that are exposed unknowingly can have rapid anaphylaxis (obstruction of the airways, possible death).

I have to say that for the most part nowadays people are more aware and considerate of this allergy, as it has become much more common ‘since we were kids.’

Food ingredients are now labelled with specifics and many contain large ‘nut-free’

symbols, making shopping for my child and our ‘nut-free home’ much easier.

Now we did come across someone that apparently was not very informed in this matter. For the lady who told my son, as he so responsibly requested a ‘nut-free’ treat, “It’s Halloween; you have to take your chances!”

Please let me clarify, NO, we cannot take our chances.

As frustrating as it was to hear this exchange I am so proud of my son.

He has had to give up many of his favourite foods since his sister’s diagnosis, in exchange to keep her safer.

He is often more educated and responsible than many adults, and acts much like a spokesperson for her since she cannot yet speak for herself.

This sure put a damper on the rest of our night.

We also heard you turn to other people as we were walking away and say “I can’t believe they asked me for nut-free!”

We did not choose this allergy. If you did not have a nut-free treat it simply would have been more courteous to say ‘no, I do not.’

As I have many more years of trick-ortreating ahead of me that will continue to be ‘nut-free,’ I thought it was important that we bring this issue to light again. Let kids be kids.

Marci Joyce Renfrew

Inconsistencies in position To the editor: The letter titled ‘Femicide is a very real issue’ is describing the problem and its impact upon the whole community, but contains several inconsistencies. The author, Ms. JoAnne Brooks, is undoubtedly an expert in her field, but confuses the fundamental basis of Bill C68, which is the gun, or firearms registry with the weapons, which by law means any object in the hand of the violent person attempting to commit the act of violence or simply the crime.

The verification of the term weapon can be obtained by the interested parties using Martin’s Criminal Code or Webster’s Dictionary – 1: something, as a gun, knife or club, that may be used to fight with; 2: means by which one contends against another.

The police, upon the report of violence, domestic dispute or abuse, enter the premises and look for any dangerous object, not necessarily a gun or firearm, which may constitute the weapon to be used against the officer or anybody else.

After separating disputing members she/ he assesses the situation and applies suitable intervention technique.

The gun or firearm presumably used in the house of violence against the woman doesn’t really prove the point of Ms. Brooks, as her weapon can be really any object of persuasion, to commit the “Murder about to happen in Canada” cited in her letter.

The knife or baseball bat will do, and I’m sure the statistics will speak for themselves.

YOUR One Stop Shop.

When it comes to her term ‘femicide’ derived from ‘Suicide’ or ‘Homicide’, I wish instead of this comparison that she could use more specifics, as how many, where or when.

I know of several friendly, non-deviant and peaceful households in the neighbourhood, which are loaded with firearms handled lawfully.

There is no murder or femicide around here, and most likely anywhere in Renfrew County, that I’ve heard of.

Does this far-stretched assumption balance this enormous case of breach of democracy for no particular reason, if Bill C68 would become a law?

Her unfortunate analogy of murder to the scrapping of Bill C68 as a long-awaited win of our rights and freedoms doesn’t decrease the number of acts of violence against women and children in Renfrew County, but she surely should see, as an intelligent person, that the end of gun registry is having nothing to do with it.

Expressions of appreciation to Mrs. Cheryl Gallant by Mr. Donald Broome for her perseverance and successful pursuit of her goal ending in full completion is worth noting and to be shared by many others who are aware of Mrs. Gallant keeping her promises.

And there won’t be enough roses in this country to mark her victory.

Wheat board Continued from Page 8 In addition, because of the vastness of the prairies, these same farmers face huge freight costs to get their product to market, far more than competing farmers growing wheat in Australia and the Black Sea region.

The CWB, with its single-desk selling powers, is one of the tools that farmers have to overcome those natural disadvantages listed above.

This is why so many family-run grain farmers support and vote for the CWB. It was pointed out that a handful of farmers with very large tracts of land located at the U.S. border feel they can sell their grain without the single-desk.

They won’t have the transportation costs that all other wheat farmers (family farms) have who are located further from the border or port.

It is this handful of farmers that this government refers to as the ones who want freedom to sell their grain.

In the news release from Parliament Hill, Minister of Agriculture Gerry Ritz stated, “The Harper government has a mandate from Western Canadian farmers to eliminate the single-desk” – noting the Conservatives won every rural riding in Western Canada in the May 2 election.

How could that be when about 90 per cent of western rural-riding residents are nonfarm voters?

In addition, we must remind Minister Ritz that the majority of farmers only this summer did speak in a vote to keep the single-desk marketing system for wheat and barley.

Farmers do have rights and should be treated fairly and in a democratic way.

In closing, I wish to quote the words of a former agriculture minster, Eugene Whelan.

Perhaps known best in agricultural circles for his (Whelan’s) efforts to enable farmers to market their production in an orderly fashion, he (Whelan) criticized apparent earlier efforts to undermine the Canadian Wheat Board.

“It’s easy to be a wrecker, it’s a hell of a lot harder to be a builder,” he said.

And may I add once the CWB is dismantled, it can never be brought back. It will be gone forever; so will many of the family farms who produce a good Canadian product, known the world over.

In closing, with the Canadian Wheat Board very close to being gone, we should ask ourselves – could supply management be next?

That is the reason why we must and should help our fellow farmers by writing or e-mailing our support for the Canadian Wheat Board to the following: The Hon. Stephen Harper at pm@pm.gc.ca; The Hon. Gerry Ritz at info@agr.gc.ca; and MP Cheryl Gallant at gallant.c@parl.gc.ca.

The address for all is House of Commons, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0A6.
