LOOK UP, LOOK WAY UP About two dozen firefighters took part Oct. 1 in joint training exercises held for the Douglas and Renfrew fire departments. Relay pumping and aerial-ladder training were held at the former Renfrew beach property near the air force park in the morning. The two departments later did an exercise at the boat launch on tanker-shuttle service. The Douglas department used its portable pumper to pump water into a tanker, which transferred it to a remote location for use by the Renfrew Fire Department. The two departments do this joint training about once every two years. The previous time they trained at the Campbell sawmill in Ferguslea. Firefighter Peter Whelan says they try to change the scenario every two years to challenge a different set of skills or equipment. This week is Fire Prevention Week.

The company that has processed Renfrew’s four applications to the Ontario Power Authority dropped by council Tuesday to review its recommendations for the four solar projects.

Warren Abar, the president of iSolara, and David Cork, the vice-president of iSolara sales and marketing, reviewed its recommendations for the solar projects, summarized projected revenues, and indicated they’re considering setting up satellite administrative offices in Renfrew, Casselman and Belleville.

The company, which is headquartered in Ottawa, says the anticipated office opening in 2012 would also feature a manufacturing site in Renfrew for its adjustable solar racks. iSolara’s major recommendations include replacing the roofs of at least three of the four buildings that would house the solar panels. iSolara successfully outbid two local companies for the contract to process the four applications to the OPA for less than $80,000.

Committee spokesman Jim Miller, who’s also a town councillor, says work will start shortly on the site, with the goal of opening the museum in early spring.

Coun. Tom Anderson opposed the motion, suspecting more construction work will have to be done than meets the eye.

“I’m happy the group wants to move forward, but I’m not sure it’s the right place at the right time,” said Anderson.

Veteran Renfrew paramedic shares the spotlight STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

A small handful of present or past Renfrew County paramedics shared the spotlight with several colleagues during Ontario’s emergency medical services (EMS) honours and awards gala Sept. 29.

Renfrew resident Bob Patrick, 71, was among 84 paramedics to receive the Governor-General’s EMS exemplary service medal.

“I was pretty proud, very proud,” said Patrick, after accepting the award at Blue Mountain Resort, near Collingwood, with wife Barbara, daughter Dawn, and sonin-law David Babin of Stittsville in the audience.

“I kept saying, ‘How can you be proud and humble at the same time?’” added Patrick. “To be recognized for the years of service was pretty … I can’t think of the word.

“To be in the room with that number of people and to hear recognition of what paramedics do in their communities, it was a high I just haven’t experienced before.”

Patrick, who was a paramedic for nearly 30 years, was involved with many emergency services committees while helping further curriculum, equipment and protocols for Ontario paramedics. In the late 1990s, he chaired OPSEU’s ambulance di-

vision of the provincial health ministry.

He retired as a paramedic in 2006.

Other Renfrew County paramedics honoured at the awards gala with their EMS exemplary service medals were the county’s chief paramedic, Mike Nolan, as well as Leonard Furtado (Barry’s Bay paramedic station) and Jeffry Latiok (Deep River).

Paramedic Brian Roberts, who lives in Pembroke but works out of the Deep River station, received the exemplary service medal and first bar (for 30 years service).

iSolara talks about local satellite, and reviews solar recommendations Continued from Page 2 It was originally thought the company processing the applications would probably continue the project through the installation stage. But that’s not necessarily the case now.

The selection of iSolara met with considerable negative response from the Renfrew business community, and council has since indicated it will reconsider submissions from companies involved in phase one before deciding who will be involved in phases two and three of the three-phase projects.

When informed of that recent devel-

opment, iSolara president Warren Abar and marketing and sales vice-president David Cork said that was news to them.

Nevertheless, the iSolara officials said they have more than 200 customers in eastern Ontario, including several in the Renfrew area, and they are attracted to such opportunities in Renfrew as lower labour costs. iSolara’s recommendations include replacing three of the four roofs of the buildings earmarked for Renfrew’s solar panels. Three roofs are nearing the end of their serviceable lives, said Cork in reference to the Innovation Centre, the

Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre and the town hall. iSolara isn’t recommending roof replacement for the water treatment plant.

But they did say replacing the roof on the plant was an option that could be entertained in 10 to 12 years.

Other recommendations include a snow study to assess the snow load, since there is a significant revenue improvement (almost $650,000 over 20 years) if the height restriction for solar PV structures is relaxed upon receiving a favourable snow study review.

The officials from iSolara said annual revenue projections are $496,338 for the

Innovation Centre, $161,810 for the MaTe-Way Activity Centre, $68,488 for the water treatment plant and $25,628 for the town hall, for an annual total of $752,246. iSolara estimates it will cost about $3.4 million to replace all four roofs. Innovation Centre is the most, at $2.8 million.

Projected revenue over the 20-year span of the contracts (yet to be approved by Ontario Power Authority) is more than $15 million.

If roof replacements, and solar panel installation and construction, were to total $8 million, Renfrew would make about $7 million over those 20 years.

ROB CAMPBELL Renfrew Rotary Club

The Renfrew Rotary Club is no stranger to the pages of The Mercury and the community.

Whether it’s for the numerous cheque presentations to the dozens of local charities that they support, the dedication of legacy community projects like Rotary Hall at the Bonnechere Manor or the splash pad at Ma-Te-Way Park, or the thousands of Meals on Wheels they’ve provided for seniors or Bacon-on-a-Buns they’ve served to Renfrew Fair-goers, the Rotary Club is well known to most Renfrewites for the good works it does.

But just who makes up this thriving and diverse service club?

Like all Rotary clubs, the Renfrew Rotary is made up of local business people looking to give something back to the community from which they make their living, both local and global.

While many other service organizations struggle with enrolment in times of diminishing volunteerism, the Renfrew Rotary is almost 40 members strong and growing; contributing over $50,000 to community and international causes and projects every year.

Renfrew Rotary’s participation in the Shelterbox Canada program, along with other clubs throughout Renfrew County, has resulted in assisting thousands of disaster-stricken families in Haiti, providing them with the basic shelter and supplies they needed to survive.

The club’s latest fund-raising project, The Faces of Renfrew Rotary 2012 Calendar, sheds some light on the people who make up our local Rotary club.

The calendar introduces us to the folks who consistently make the time to help make the community, and in their own

Like all Rotary clubs, the Renfrew Rotary is made up of local business people looking to give something back to the community.

small way the world, a better place.

“In Renfrew,” says Renfrew Rotary Club president Doug Blenkhorn, “a Rotarian could be selling your home, giving you your annual physical, building your deck, or filling your prescription.”

While their backgrounds and professions are varied, their commitment to service is consistent.

“We have several members who are long-retired from business, yet are still quite active in Rotary service,” adds Blenkhorn.

Proceeds from the calendar sales will be used to support the club’s many local and international projects.

Selling for just $10, calendars are available from all Rotary members as well as at the Chamber of Commerce, Aikenhead’s Drug Store, Scotiabank, Money Concepts, Douglas Moore Fashions, Delicious, Renfrew Tea Room, Margi’s, Priority Bell and Century 21 Eady Realty.

Elder abuse is a critical issue in the eyes of the law, and on Oct. 1 Det.-Sgt. Isobel Fitzpatrick of the East Region headquarters of the Ontario Provincial Police spoke to an audience about elder abuse and fraud. The event, sponsored by the Renfrew OPP and Renfrew Police Services Board, was held in the new Rotary Hall in the Bonnechere Manor.

From left are Police Services Board chairman Jeff Scott, Renfeew OPP Staff-Sgt. Colin Slight, Renfrew OPP Community Services Officer Const. Janice Sawbridge, and Fitzpatrick.

Const. Amanda Carruthers also attended.

With housing expansion in Arnprior impacting roads in and around the town, McNabBraeside and Arnprior are pushing for improvements to Division Street and Baskin Drive.

At the Sept. 28 session of Renfrew County council, council approved, in principle, both the transfer of Baskin Drive (Division to Daniel Street) from Arnprior to the county, and the transfer of a section of Division Street (from Highway 417 to Baskin Drive) to the Township of McNab-Braeside.

The short western segment of Division Street no longer qualifies as a county road with its loss of direct access to the newly four-laned Highway 417.

Division Street’s intersection with Highway 17 is being replaced by a ‘flyover’ passing over the newly constructed Highway 417.

Therefore, Daniel Street will become the most direct connecting roadway to Highway 417 for motorists coming from the Division Street and Baskin Drive areas.

Renfrew County council has also given the green light for negotiations to take place this fall between county and township staff to determine the amount of money provided to McNabBraeside to compensate its taking over a stretch of Division Street.

It will cost an estimated $40,000 to bring the section to a tolerable local standard.

Meanwhile, McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell is pushing for a roundabout at the corner of Division Street and Baskin Drive. Both roads are in sub-par condition.

LUCY HASS Det.-Sgt. Isobel Fitzpatrick is committeed to making life better for seniors.

Fitzpatrick is the regional abuse issues co-ordinator with the Eastern Ontario division of the Ontario Provincial Police, and has seen and heard her share of sad cases.

But many cases of fraud can be averted, with vigilence and through the sharing of information.

According to an OPP website, Ontario’s senior population is growing at a rapid rate.

“By the year 2021, there will be as many seniors living in Canada (19%) as there are children. As a result, the OPP has established a Seniors Assistance Team, comprised of three officers, in anticipation of dealing with issues that will arise surrounding this growth,” the website

notes.

Oct. 1, in the Bonnechere Manor’s new Rotary Hall, Fitzpatrick underscored the OPP’s commitment with a presentation sponsored by the Renfrew OPP detachment and Renfrew Police Services Board.

Fitzpatrick said preventing these crimes is all about everyone working together – family, friends, neighbours, the police and the community – doing all they can to prevent people taking advantage of vulnerable people.

“Education is power,” said Fitzpatrick, whose primary goal is to stop victimization.

Local authorities agree.

“Fraud is really not a police problem; it’s a community problem best addressed through knowledge,” Staff-Sgt. Slight told the gathering.

pecially since there’s ample space. But he said various options need to be considered. Campbell said other eastern Ontario communities are using roundabouts effectively, such as Ottawa, Almonte and Kemptville.

“I want (public works) to plan it now, so we avoid an issue down the road,” said Campbell.

The transfers will likely take place next spring.

Campbell said new housing construction is expected to bring another 700 or so cars into the area every day, thereby creating an even bigger traffic issue.

Creating a four-way stop at the intersection of Division and Baskin would be counterproductive, says Campbell.

Voter turnout in RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke was 53.7%, down from around 57% in the last provincial election in 2007, says returning officer Lewis MacDonald.

Voting in advance polls was way up, however, reports MacDonald.

“This time, although voting was down, the advance poll is up a lot. I’m not sure what that means,” said MacDonald.

There were about 7,200 advance votes cast in 2007, while this time it appears the number will be up over 10,000, as special ballot tallies are still being finalized.

It was a blue wave over Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills Oct. 6, as both Randy Hillier and Jack MacLaren retained the Conservative hold over the area.

Both MPPs made their name

by being politically active in the Ontario and local Landowners’ associations.

MacLaren was a first-time candidate, having taken the Progressive Conservative Carleton-Mississippi Mills nomination from long-time MPP Norm Sterling.

However, predictions that he would be in tough against Liberal opponent Megan Cornell did not materialize.

Meanwhile, Hillier increased his margin of victory significantly in his second election in

Editorial EDITORIAL

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Apathy abounds in Ontario

Welcome to Cobden

The weather was sunny. The date was set years ago. Advance polling options were more numerous than ever.

And still, voter turnout in Ontario on Oct. 6 hit an all-time low.

Apathy, that most heinous of political sins, abounded in Ontario.

Dalton McGuinty narrowly missed a majority reelection and will have to settle for a 53-seat minority government.

But with less than half of eligible voters marking an X, we have to wonder if his government really represents the will of the electorate.

McGuinty’s Liberals picked up 37.62 per cent of the popular vote.

But since only about five million voters hit the polls, only about 22 per cent of the approximately 8.5 million eligible voters favoured a Liberal government.

Officially, the turnout recorded on Oct. 6 was 49.2 per cent.

That was down from the previous all-time low, which was set in – wait for it – 2007, during the last provincial election.

There was one bright light in this apathetic mess.

Improved advance polling and other options to make casting a ballot more accessible were successful: 650,000 Ontarians voted before election day.

At least Ontario is still doing better than the Northwest Territories, where 35 per cent of eligible voters cast ballots in a recent election. But Manitoba’s general election last week yielded a 57 per cent turnout. PEI had an astounding 76 per cent turnout – and that was low for the Maritime province.

So what is the issue here?

Are the leaders too boring? Did the issues and platforms fail to resonate with citizens? Have people lost sight of their civic duty?

Voter turnout can be a pretty accurate measure of how much we care. Here in Ontario, after three elections – municipal, federal and now provincial – in less than 365 days, it’s probably safe to say that voters were simply tired of caring.

COLUMN

Plenty of zest and Vinegar He wore the same signature white socks every day, a sure way to identify this dapper Thoroughbred-Percheron from the others in the field.

His name, Vinegar; by human standards, a centenarian; in the horse world, a veteran who lasted well beyond his expected years while displaying endearing and enduring qualities.

At 16 hands high, he was often the biggest horse around, but he never flaunted his size and position with human or equine company.

His closest companion, my wife Shelley, knew him from the time he was about four years old. Vinegar lost his mother at birth, but never his zest for life, in the company of Shelley and her four sisters, and their mom Elaine.

With Shelley’s move to Renfrew County, Vinegar later followed, taking up residence on Shelley’s hobby farm near Eganville, where Vinegar, at least one other horse, and several cows spent time.

Vinegar supplied companionship, pa-

STEVE NEWMAN STEVE’S SIXTH SENSE tience, confidence and more to Shelley.

All the while, he became a stable, consistent force in her life, whether the two were charging across cross-country terrain during a three-day event, or just putzing around the fields at home.

Most mornings, Vinegar recognized Shelley with a whinny and a nicker, and often by placing his chin on her shoulder. And maybe with a rub into Shelley’s shoulder, instead of a fence post, for a vigorous morning massage.

I had the privilege of watching that wonderful relationship for a little more than 10 years. It’s hard to capture it in words, but Shelley says she understood him; and vice-versa.

“He was always my challenge,” she says.

To the editor: I want to invite everyone to attend Taste of the Valley on Saturday, Oct. 15 at the Cobden Fairgrounds.

This is a very special day, as it marks the fifth anniversary of Taste of the Valley here in the County of Renfrew.

I am so excited that this premier agricultural event will be back in Cobden starting at 8 a.m.

This is a record year for Taste of the Valley, as over 105 local vendors will be on site serving up the greatest local products found anywhere.

This is your last chance to meet the local farmers who produce the best beef, lamb, pork, buffalo, produce, maple syrup, honey and so much more.

You will be able to try French fries made from local potatoes, old-fashioned perogies, local ice cream, baked goods and produce! And don’t forget that there will be lots of music, a large Kidz Zone, and many local artists, crafts and other local producers.

Taste of the Valley really brings everyone together, and it would not be possible without the support of the County of Renfrew and ProTyre.

Once again, Marshall Event Tent Rentals in Renfrew is supplying a big white tent so that more local vendors can take part.

Admission is free, but some local volunteers with the Cobden Food Bank ask that you bring a non-perishable food item for our local food bank.

Not only will you discover and meet the farmers who supply our food, but your donation of a food item will help some of those less fortunate in our community.

So mark that Saturday on your calendar, and come spend the day at Taste of the Valley.

I know you will have a great time!

Sincerely, Reeve Don Rathwell Whitewater Region

SKY’S THE LIMIT

Nanowrimo

Mercury photo by Lucy Hass

VOLUNTEER SPIRIT IN POLITICS Liberal volunteer co-ordinator Alyson Olsheski, at right, and fellow volunteer Daniel Devine put the finishing touches on two rooms at Friends Restaurant in Pembroke last Thursday night. The room was adorned with red and white ribbons, balloons, candidate posters and a wall of newspaper clippings from across the riding for the post-election party.

Volunteers play a key role in the election process, upholding all that is good about democracy and freedom of choice.

‘He has taken me through many, many stages in life’ From Page 8 “He challenged me, but always gave me confidence, courage and security. He has taken me through many, many stages in life.”

And over many a physical obstacle, as a competitive threeday eventer.

“I might have been afraid of a jump,” recalls Shelley, “but after doing it, he’d toss his head, as if to say, ‘That wasn’t so bad.’ ” Purchased by Shelley’s mom, along with a saddle and bridle, for less than $1,000, Vinegar was a bargain. Priceless, as they say.

Even priceless when old.

Three years ago, at age 33, we questioned if he’d make it through winter, especially since his only shelter was essentially Mother Nature’s elements and an open-door leaf barn. In the spring, however, after feeding on heartier grass, he regained his weight and vigour.

Three years later, he began spending more time off by himself, away from the other horses, a number which had increased to three this past summer.

Meanwhile, Vinegar maintained his gentle manner. As a very young horse, for example, the stablehands at the equestrian park in Ottawa dubbed him The Gentleman.

Vinegar was especially kind in the presence of children. He just knew not to react suddenly

or to panic. He also served as the very first horse our son, Aidan, now 7, began to ride before the age of 2. And never with a hiccup.

But at some point, all good lives end.

We suspected Vinegar had suffered a stroke or two, and a recent near-collapse while walking in the barnyard was a tell-tale sign.

It was time to say goodbye before winter arrived.

The evening before his departure, Aidan went out to say his goodbyes while Shelley was out of town.

As Aidan gave Vinegar a last hug, he turned to me, with a hopeless look and his eyes welling up with tears. He reached out and I scooped him into my arms as we walked away, both crying.

Seconds later, Vinegar came up behind Aidan and rubbed his nose between his shoulder blades.

Aidan burst into laughter and said something about laughing when so sad.

The next day, Vinegar died in the presence of Shelley, Shelley’s mom, myself and the veterinarian.

After the doc left, we said our personal good-byes. And we reserved the right to remember this special friend for a very long time.

If you don’t know what ‘nanowrimo’ means, you’re not alone. When I tell people, “I’m doing nanowrimo,” they give me a lot of blank stares.

Then I tell them it means “National Novel Writing Month,” and they go, “Oh.” Oh, indeed. Most of the people I talk to don’t write, but if you’ve ever wanted to pen a novel and don’t know how to go about it, this month is for you.

Basically, you write 50,000 words over the month of November.

You sign up on the official National Novel Writing Month site, and it helps you keep track of your word count.

Reach 50,000 words before the end of November, and you not only have a full, or at least a good, chunk of a novel complete, you also win some neat prizes.

For someone like me, who has so many ideas that I don’t know what

to write first, this is a great way to finally finish something.

It gives me a goal to work towards, a deadline – and I find that I work better when I have a date that something needs to be finished by. After years of chipping away at short stories and writing novellas that continuously grow longer, perhaps this will be the year I complete a novel from beginning to end.

It would be a great way to finish my high school career, and it’d give my writing some sort of validity, like I’m not just someone grasping at straws. My friends have been telling me for a long time that I can make it as a writer – now it’s time for me to prove it to myself. Maybe this November, you can do the same.

Lisa Code took this photo of the wayward moose as it stood in a soybean field on Clayton Road near Highway 29, just east of Pakenham in Mississippi Mills.

MNR, police tranquilize wayward moose BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

There was a moose on the loose in the PakenhamAlmonte area recently, and after a chase by the Lanark County OPP, he was caught and sedated.

Officers from the Lanark County OPP and the Ministry of Natural Resources tracked down the moose, first reported by a motorist at about 6:40 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 30. The caller saw the moose along Hwy. 29 between Pakenham and Almonte.

When officers arrived, there was no trace of the moose – until the next morning, when residents started reporting about 8 a.m. that the moose was tracking through backyards in the Almonte area.

One woman reported the moose feasted on her garden. The officers set out to limit the area that the moose could wander for safety purposes until the proper equipment could be brought on scene.

Around noon Saturday, the moose was tranquilized, and residents no longer had to worry about the large unwelcome visitor in their yards.

McDonald’s, customers, strangers get behind Kelly Ziebarth STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

It was sort of like a home-coming, returning to the place she has called her working home for 29 years.

Kelly Ziebarth, 46, has worked at the McDonald’s restaurant in Renfrew for that long, but she’s now on medical disability while battling the symptoms of multiple sclerosis.

She’s hoping the not-too-distant future is rosier, since symptoms have worsened since she was first diagnosed about 10 years ago.

And maybe life will improve, especially if liberation surgery scheduled for Oct. 12 in Providence, Rhode Island, goes well.

Helping to get behind the expensive surgery was a fundraising campaign at Renfrew McDonald’s on Tuesday, Oct.11. The operation will cost nearly $7,000, on top of travel and accommodation expenses. A dollar from each purchase of coffee went into a fund for Ziebarth.

The campaign is the least they can do, said restaurant owner John Bergeron.

“Because Kelly has been here since the restaurant opened 29 years ago, Kelly has been a fixture,” explained Bergeron.

“She’s obviously had an awful lot of customers and friends over the years. And we want to help in some way.”

One of the customers dropping by was Ray Vidler, the owner of Renfrew’s Metro grocery store,

who dropped by to make a generous financial donation to the campaign.

One of Vidler’s two daughters was recently diagnosed with multiple-sclerosis at age 23.

“I heard what they were doing for Kelly,” said Vidler.

“I thought that some day my daughter might need some help like that. I have a soft spot for people who have MS.” As it turns out, others also dropped by to make donations over and above their purchase of coffee.

Over and above Vidler’s donation, donations and coffee proceeds amounted to $3,100.

“It’s been a day of financial support and reconnecting for Kelly with a lot of people who have known her over the years,” said Bergeron, knowing she has been on medical leave since July.

Ziebarth’s made the trip to Rhode Island by car early this week with her parents, Guy and Phyllis, and her aunt and uncle, Joan and Bert Miller.

Ziebarth admits the disease is taking its toll more than it used to.

Once athletic and active, she says, “I can’t shop or go out for long. I always said, thank God for grocery carts (to lean on).”

As for the surgery’s anticipated benefits, Ziebarth added: “It’s not a cure, but I’m just hoping for any relief.

“I’d like to have more feeling in my hands, and maybe have the ability to walk and stand (for longer periods).”

Wyatt Zohr (6) tries to push past the Redmen defence at the Turkey Bowl junior game on Sunday. Despite a strong showing, the Junior Raiders lost 17-13.

Thanksgiving turkey served cold to RCI Raiders PETER CLARK

peter.clark@metroland.com

Unfortunately for the Renfrew Collegiate Raiders, the turkey was served cold and without gravy at Lindsay Athletic Field Sunday afternoon.

The Arnprior Redmen swept the 2011 version of the annual high school Turkey Bowl football doubleheader in RCI’s own backyard.

The junior clash went wire-to-wire with the Redmen hanging on for a 17-13 win.

The Raiders took a 7-0 lead on the strength of a Michael Wales punt single and Wyatt Zohr major in the first quarter.

Josh Thero broke a 7-7 deadlock when he took a handoff from quarterback Neal Gibbons and rambled 30 yards to paydirt in the third quarter.

But a 35-yard strike from quarterback Riley Dunn to William Ruddy and point after by Keenan Laughlin put Arnprior in front 14-13 in the fourth. Laughlin later added a field goal.

But the Raiders didn’t go down without a battle. Gibbons had a promising march going, but time ran out down by the Redmen 10-yard line.

The Redmen are defending champions in the senior bracket, and looked every bit like the class of the conference on this day en route to a 32-0 victory.

The Raiders hung in there, trailing only 7-0 well into the third quarter.

But the Arnprior defence kept the Raiders null of any potential scoring drives and the seven-point difference seemed much larger than that. It eventually was, A third-quarter field goal followed by three touchdowns in the fourth quarter, turned the game into a rout.

The Senior Raiders host the Fellowes Falcons today (Thursday) at 3 p.m.

The Junior Raiders next home game is Tuesday, Oct. 18. The Carleton Place Gold-

en Bears are in town for a 1 p.m. kick-off.

Perhaps the Renfrew Timberwolves enjoyed too much turkey, or it may be the Perth Blue Wings had none.

Whatever the case, it was the hungrier team that came away victorious in Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League action Sunday night at the MaTe-Way Activity Centre.

After the Wolves connected just 20 seconds in, the Blue Wings struck for eight consecutive goals en route to a 9-2 triumph in the Valley Division encounter.

All was not lost for the defending Valley Division champion Wolves, however.

Renfrew never trailed in a 4-3 win over the visiting Stittsville Royals Friday night at the MAC. At 4-and-3, the Wolves are in a log jam. Five teams are separated by two points in the Valley Division standings.

COURT SPORTS WOLVES 4 STITTSVILLE 3 The Raiders reeled off three consecutive wins in Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association boys volleyball action in Deep River Thursday.

RCI coaches Darren Matthews and Dale Frew said crushing hits, huge blocks and a steely determination allowed the Raiders to get past the host Mackenzie Mustangs in the Renfrew school’s first match.

It set the tone for the rest of the day, coaches added, as the Raiders made it look easy in victories over the Arnprior Redmen and Bishop Smith Crusaders.

The Junior Raiders dropped matches to Arnprior, Bishop Smith and the L’Equinoxe Patriotes, but coaches Kim Oattes and Cheryl Barber were pleased with the effort.

The team got leadership performances from Jessey Chapieski and Austin Clarke, and were sparked by the blocks of Devin Barber and Calum Chalmers.

The Raiders continue to earn rave reviews on the girls basketball court.

The Junior Raiders topped Bishop Smith 29-12.

Eight players scored, led by Kelsey Lambert’s seven points.

Rachel Fortier and SaraLyn Deslaurier were strong defensively, while Jen Steele led RCI in rebounding, coach Jason Wilson said.

Kaleigh Nichol matched the opposing team’s point total with a dozen as the Juniors Raiders defeated L’Equinoxe 45-12 Oct. 4.

The Senior Raiders were 47-6 winners, buoyed by Adrianne Guty’s 14 points and 13 from Maddie Kubiseski. Hillary MacMillan collected eight.

Gaelyn Turcotte and Courtney Miller were big at both ends of the floor for coach Adam Noack’s squad.

Scott Conroy’s goal with 5:48 remaining gave Renfrew its fourth lead of the night, and finally allowed the Wolves to push their way past the stubborn Stittsville Royals.

Conroy took a feed from Blake Lemoine, and despite a crowd, found daylight behind Stittsville netminder Eric Miksik.

Tanner Smith, Steve Cuthill and Jesse Riopelle notched earlier Renfrew markers.

Matt Kadolph, Scott Barnes and Will Fraser kept the heat on with Stittsville markers.

Smith notched the lone goal of the opening stanza on a powerplay. The teams were tied 2-2 heading into the third period.

Riopelle gave the Wolves a brief 3-2 edge in the first minute, but Fraser got that back for the Royals less than a minute later.

Richard Barr faced 37 shots and blocked all but three in the Renfrew goalcrease. The Wolves tested Miksik 31 times.

The Royals took eight penalties and the Wolves five, although a spearing double minor contributed to Stittsville’s total at the end of the game.

PERTH 8 WOLVES 2 Anthony Rea shot the Wolves into a 1-0 lead after just 20 seconds.

But the Wolves ran into penalty trouble, surrendered too many odd-man rushes and, before they knew it, the game had gotten away from them.

A five-goal second period gave the Blue Wings an 8-1 lead before Derrin Lehoux counted Renfrew’s second goal early in the third period.

Brett Madigan and Riley Kane both counted two goals to lead the Blue

Wings. Jeremy Wright earned the netminding victory.

Troy Gauthier relieved Richard Barr in the Wolves goalcrease following the fifth Perth goal.

Perth outshot the Wolves 46-26. The teams combined for 145 penalty minutes with the Wolves taking 89.

Fans were given something to cheer about in the form of three fights.

Kurtis Leclaire may have dented his opponent’s nose in his scrap with Perth’s Kyle Drisdelle.

There was bloodshed.

Luke Magnan and former Timberwolf Nik Van Essen each knew they were in a battle after their set-to late in the second period.

Wolves defenceman Jared Riopelle came to his goaltender’s defence late in the third period, and took an early exit, along with Perth’s Shawn McGillivary.

Sunday’s was the first meeting of the two teams since last spring’s Valley Division semifinal that the Wolves won in six games.

The Wolves have another two-game weekend of home games starting Friday at 8 p.m. The EOJHL champion Clarence Creek Castors provide the opposition.

On Sunday, it’s the opposite end of the spectrum as the 0-and-9 Pontiac Juniors are in town at 7 p.m.

The Renfrew Peewee Timberwolves host their annual hockey tournament Saturday. The Atom Wolves take to the ice for their own tourney Sunday at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

Frank LaFont scored the eventual shoot-out winning marker while Beatty Campbell backstopped the victory.

Fans reach out as The Hunks flex before taking to the ring during Great North Wrestling action Saturday night at the AFAC Wing in Renfrew. Despite their flashy show, the duo was soundly defeated by Quantum Force. The eight-match card also featured World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) legend and GNW regular The Honky Tonk Man. The night marked the final match in the career of wrestler/promotor Devon Nicholson, known to wrestling fans as Hannibal. He won his match over seven-foot Darko.

The Renfrew Jr. B Timberwolves host two home games at Ma-Te-Way this weekend: Friday versus defending league champion Clarence Creek, and Sunday against Shawville.

The St. Joseph’s Jaguars ruled the roost in Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association boys volleyball action last Tuesday (Oct. 4) in the home gymnasium.

Both teams swept the Jeanne-Lajoie Chevalier 30.

Junior Jaguars coach Meagan Cahill said the match presented an opportunity to give the entire bench some valuable playing time.

“We got everybody into the game, which is good,” the coach observed.

Coach Trent Skelhorn’s senior team was equally effective, also en route to a three-set victory.

“The team continues to improve,” coach Skelhorn said. “Everyone was able to participate and help lead the Jags to the win.”

Both Jaguar teams have

won the two league matches they have played. They take on the Mackenzie Mustangs today in the home of the Jaguars.

The Opeongo Wildcats counted a pair of homecourt victories over the Jaguars in girls basketball action Oct. 4.

Opeongo doubled the Junior Jaguars 30-15. Kim Carter had six points for St. Joseph’s.

The Senior Jaguars came up on the short end of a 4420 count.

Melissa Verch netted nine points for St. Joseph’s.

The setback was the Senior Jaguars’ first of the 2011 season following a 3and-0 start.

The Junior Jaguars turned back the General Panet Panthers 35-13 in junior action Oct. 6.

General Panet took the senior clash 36-23. Melissa Verch had 11 points for St. Joseph’s and Brittanee Mahusky eight.

A cross-section of people from the community representing local telethon sponsors gathered last week for a photo with the focus of attention on Sunday, Oct. 23 – the Renfrew Sunshine Coach Reach for the Rainbow Telethon in the Grant Gymnasium at Renfrew Collegiate.

Community rallies behind Sunshine Coach NORM DAGG Sunshine Coach

For over a quarter of a century, Sunshine Coach has been providing transportation for people in Renfrew and area who live with mobility challenges. As the service grew from a single coach in 1985 to the eight vehicles that are on the road every day currently, public support has been crucial to the success of Sunshine Coach.

Each year Friends of the Disabled and Sunshine Coach reach out for public support through the Reach For The Rainbow

Telethon. Each year local businesses, service organizations, schools, churches and community minded individuals throw their support behind this service that is so critical from a quality of life perspective to all of our fellow citizens who depend on it everyday.

The current edition of the telethon will take place on Sunday, Oct. 23 between the hours of 2 and 8 p.m. and will be telecast live over Cogeco Channel 22 as well as myFM between 4 and 6 p.m.

Due to the efforts of the committed volunteers, all of the proceeds of the Telethon will go directly to help defray the

operating expenses of the service.

The public are most cordially invited to drop in to Renfrew Collegiate on the day of the telethon.

Visitors will be able to watch the live entertainment featuring house band Mixed Nuts along with a great line up of talented local performers.

Everyone is invited to come down, meet some of our local firefighters who will assist visitors to “weigh in” and add their spare change to our Kilos of Coins.

STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Earlier this year the Ontario Legislature passed a bill that made Sept. 28 British Home Child Day in Ontario.

It’s an important day for Dave Lorente, a Renfrew resident whose father, Joseph, was among the 100,000 Home Children shipped from the United Kingdom to Canada between 1869 and the mid1940s.

The stigma of being a Home Child was longstanding, one that Lorente and Dave Lorente others have opposed for years. There are no good reasons these children deserved to be called guttersnipes, exports, street Arabs and little British bastards, says Lorente.

Lorente, who co-founded Home Children Canada, was scheduled to be guest speaker for the inaugural British Home Child celebrations at Upper Canada Village.

A death in the family forced him to miss the event, but he forwarded his speech, and portions of it were read to a crowd of more than 250 Wednesday, Sept. 28.

The reader of Lorente’s address was Tom Brownell, the grandson of a Home Child. He’s also the brother of MPP Jim Brownell, whose private member’s bill made British Home Child Day in Ontario possible.

It’s “still a passion,” said Lorente, 82, of his need to continue to support Home Children. Hence his speech asked the question: Why did Home Children not talk (about who they were)?

Lorente’s speech addressed the three reasons he and wife Kay, co-founder of Home Children Canada, believe they did not talk.

Not only did they not talk, but they were often treated as less than children, by being forced to sleep in the barn and away from other family members.

Lorente summarized the reasons as: 1. Their traumatic experiences while growing up in a new land after being separated from family and friends, and being treated as virtual commodities; 2. The powerful effects of loss and separation after leaving their homeland, in most instances, forever; 3. The stigma of eugenics, the movement devoted to improving the human species by controlling hereditary factors in mating.

Basically, says Lorente, Home Children’s silent shame was inflicted on them by many people, including such well-intentioned leaders of society as Winston Churchill and Tommy Douglas, until they realized the errors of their ways.

A few years ago, a director exclaimed

to Lorente, upon hearing he was going to speak about Home Children at Heritage Renfrew’s annual general meeting, “Home Children! I was never allowed to play with Home Children when I was a child.”

Lorente didn’t even know his dad was a Home Child unt6il a few years after Joseph Lorente’s death.

In fact, Lorente, who was a history teacher for decades, admits he didn’t know what a Home Child was until he started researching to learn more about his father’s past.

After retiring in 1986, Lorente spent four years searching through the archived ship lists of newcomers who arrived in Canada via Halifax, Montreal, Quebec and Saint John. Eventually, he learned his dad arrived in Canada on Feb. 27, 1914.

In contrast, Lorente and his three siblings grew up being told they were proud Canadians who were not to admit to their dad’s Welsh roots unless pushed.

Lorente missed the celebration of last week’s first British Home Child Day, but he hopes his speech provided some catharsis for others.

He hopes more people come to understand that Home Children “weren’t just child pioneers, but heroes in their own way, for saving their families from a shame that didn’t need to exist in the first place.”

Lorente, who has received thousands of letters or emails about Home Children, says he’ll continue to tell the story of Home Children.

While Lorente couldn’t attend the inaugural British Home Child Day, he loaned a statue of Home Child and decorated First World War hero Claude Nunney to Upper Canada Village.

Nunney grew up, as a Home Child, in the Ontario town of North Lancaster.

One of his brothers, Alfred, grew up in the Renfrew County hamlet of Osceola.

TOWNSHIP OF McNAB/BRAESIDE

PUBLIC NOTICE Horton Township and the Township of McNab/Braeside are holding a Public Open House to gather public input regarding their Waste Recycling Strategy.

Comments received from the public and issues identified at the Open House will be considered and appropriately incorporated in the final study document.

The Corporation of the Town of Renfrew Once again, the Town of Renfrew will be conducting drinking water sampling and testing for lead to comply with Ontario Regulations. The town is seeking volunteer test sites in single family homes, multi-unit buildings, commercial properties, and industrial properties.

Under the provincial legislation, the municipality must test the drinking water for lead at 40 private residences, 4 non-private residences, between June 15, 2011 and October 15, 2011.

• Tests would be performed at older residences suspected of having lead pipes or pipes with lead solder.

• Homes built before the mid-1950s could have lead pipes.

• Lead solder was used to join copper pipes and was phased out in the late 1980s; any new construction done after those years should not be affected by lead in the piping system.

Since the Town must access homes to test for the presence of lead, we are looking for volunteers to allow the Town of Renfrew staff access to their homes to collect samples. There will be NO charge to the resident for the testing of the lead sample.

Each sample will total three litres in each location and the regulations obligate the town to advise tenants of the test results as soon as they are available.

The higher risk individuals affected by lead that exceeds the standards are pregnant women, infants and children under the age of 6 years old.

The Town will require permission of the property owner to take the samples. If you wish to be added to the list of potential test sites please contact the Development and Works Department, Municipal Garage, Darl Gaudette at 613-432-4147.

R0011123264

The involvement of our residents is essential to the successful completion of the study. Residents will have the opportunity to provide their ideas and opinions about solid waste and recycling to Township staff and the project consultants.

OPEN HOUSE Specifically the Open House will provide information on: • Proposed waste management strategy to develop a plan to increase the efficiency and effectives of their waste management systems and to maximize the amount of waste material that each Township diverts from their facilities • Alternative waste management approaches (including opportunities for waste diversion and disposal) • Existing Township facilities and services TIME AND LOCATION Monday, October 17, 2011 - 7:00 p.m.

Landslide victory in the face of family tragedy STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

What should have been a night of celebration by victorious Progressive Conservative candidate John Yakabuski and his family took a tragic turn with the death of his brother-in-law.

In an emotional speech to his supporters at his victory party in Pembroke, the re-elected Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP said his wife’s brother had been killed.

Yakabuski won his third straight election, and second in a row by a huge margin.

He received 70.8 per cent of the vote, compared to 62 per cent in the last election in 2007.

However, his Progressive Conservative party, well ahead in the polls when the campaign started, finished a disappointed second to the Liberals.

The PCs were declared elected in 37 seats, up 12 from the last election, but 16 behind the Liberals, whose total of 53 just missed being a majority by one seat. The NDP upped its seat count from 10 to 17.

With all polls counted, Yakabuski had 27,594 votes, with Liberal John O’Leary a distant second at 6,231 (16 per cent).

NDP Brian Dougherty was third with 4,272 votes (11 per cent), followed by the Green’s Kyle Jones with 569 votes (1.5 per cent) and Murray Reid of the Confederation of Regions Party at 309 (0.8 per cent).

Shortly after coming to the stage with his obviously distressed wife, Vicky, Yakabuski explained to supporters at the Best Western Pembroke Inn that the couple had learned at 8 p.m. that her brother, Robert Smith of the Eganville area, had been killed in an accident. Members of Yakabuski’s team said it was not a traffic accident.

“We want everyone to enjoy themselves tonight, but I do have some very, very sad news,” he said. After briefly telling the

crowd of supporters that Vicky’s brother had died, he said, “It makes this night a little difficult in some ways.”

However, he added: “I want you all to celebrate the victory in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke. We don’t make these things happen, whether they’re at the right time or the wrong time.”

After breaking the sad news about his brother-in-law, Yakabuski praised those who made the PC victory possible in the riding.

“It is a great victory in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, but it is not one that I achieved alone. It is one that so many people worked so hard (for), and not just in the last 28 days,” he said.

Yakabuski also paid tribute to his father, Paul, who represented the area in the Legislature for 24 years.“I wouldn’t be doing this if it wasn’t for my father,” said Yakabuski.

“And certainly, I would have never been elected in the first place ... I try to model myself (after him) and work the way he worked.”

Yakabuski said he was proud of the result and the work put in by his team.

The re-elected MPP spoke to a crowd of five or six dozen people.

Those in the audience included Renfrew resident Glen Campbell, who wasn’t surprised by the victory.

“He does a good job … People in Renfrew think a lot of John.”

Renfrew Reeve Audrey Green, who’s a fervent Conservative Party supporter, responded similarly.

“I think it’s wonderful,” she said of Yakabuski’s one-sided win. “No surprise.”

Susan Fynn, who came out of retirement to serve as Yakabuski’s campaign office manager, was extremely pleased.

“I think he’s the best MPP any riding could provide,” said the Eganville resiMercury photos by Steve Newman dent.

Election

23 October 13, 2011 - The Renfrew Mercury

On hand for the election-night gathering were O’Leary’s uncle and aunt, Dr. Robert and Margaret Duggan. The candidate’s mother is a sister of Dr. Duggan. O’Leary stayed at the Duggan home in Renfrew during the five weeks of the campaign.

More work to do in county, but O’Leary proud of Liberals LUCY HASS

lucy.hass@metroland.com

Liberal candidate John O’Leary started his campaign in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke in a new pair of shoes.

Five weeks later, he had worn them out, criss-crossing one of Ontario’s largest geographic ridings.

And aside from the miles logged on foot, campaigning door to door with his local Liberal campaign team, he also put 10,000 kilometres on his vehicle.

Although O’Leary finished a distant second in last Thursday’s provincial election, he and party faithful still had plenty to celebrate at Friends Restaurant in Pembroke as news broke that the reigning Liberal party had held onto government.

“It’s a bit of a bittersweet night for us tonight. We didn’t quite get there, here in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, but it looks like, hopefully, we’ll have another strong, stable Liberal government at Queen’s Park for, hopefully, another four years. So we have something to celebrate here tonight,” he said.

O’Leary had plenty of praise for his campaign team, supporters and the residents of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke.

“This was really a campaign that was about you guys, and about the moms and dads and the people that I met, whether I was in Renfrew or Arnprior or Deep River, or Eganville or right throughout the Ottawa Valley,” he told the gathering.

“People said, again and again, they want to make sure they’ve got great great care. They want to make sure they’ve got great schools. They want to make sure that they’ve got some great new jobs and great new opportunities, and I think that our campaign was about trying to build that; trying to build some new opportunities and successes.”

O’Leary called his run for office “a great experience” and applauded his team.

“Thank you all so much for contributing and showing folks here in Renfrew County what being a Liberal is all about.”

O’Leary’s volunteer communications director Melinda McInnes was pleased with the tone of the campaign and its strong corps of dedicated volunteers.

“It’s been great,” McInnes said as the polls drew to a close. “We’ve taken a really positive and pro-active approach to the campaign.”

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke NDP candidate Brian Dougherty spent election night at Coco Jarry’s in Renfrew with family and friends, including his biggest supporters: wife Kimberly and daughters Sydney, 3 and Samantha, 7.

‘Lunchbox’ NDPer pleased SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com

He may not have been the winner, but John O’Leary has a winning smile for family, friends and supporters at Friends Restaurant in Pembroke. as he entered Friends Restaurant after the polls closed, described O’Leary as “an outstanding candidate.”

“I think the people of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke have seen a great worker, a great speaker, a great organizer and a fantastic person,” she said.

Before he settled in to celebrate with family, friends and supporters for the evening, O’Leary reflected on the campaign.

“It was a great experience and I think it was quite a successful campaign,” he told The Renfrew Mercury. “We were talking every day about issues that would strengthen families – great schools and better health care, particularly family doctors, and opportunities for things like green-energy jobs, support for the forest industry and support for farmers.

“And I think that what we’re seeing around Ontario tonight is certainly a resounding sort of vote of confidence for the Liberal party.

“Clearly, we’ve got some more work to do here in Renfrew County, but I think it was a great campaign, certainly successful from my perspective. I would like to have gotten up over the top, but the voters are always right.

“I’m awfully proud of the work that we were able to accomplish here and that Liberals have been able to accomplish right around Ontario.

“I learned a lot just speaking with families and hearing what’s important to them; hearing about their ideas and their aspirations.”

The polls had barely closed and Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke New Democratic Party candidate Brian Dougherty had already committed to being the party’s candidate in the next election.

The Arnprior family man and electrician joined family and friends at Coco Jarry’s in Renfrew to watch the results roll in on election night.

“Thanks to all who came and helped in so many ways. It’s just been fantastic – the phone calls and support I have received,” said Dougherty. “It was my first time and I learned a lot.”

Representing the party was an honour, said Dougherty. “The fact that I’ve always been NDP and now get to represent it is great,” Dougherty told supporters.

He said he is grateful to have been able to draw on the experience of campaign managers Eric Burton and Felicite Stairs as he learned all about campaigning – from media scrums to all-candidates debate to posting signs.

Dougherty was pleased to see the NDP making modest gains across the province and a boost in party support in the riding.

“Well we were in it to win it, but we knew it was a hard race,” he said. “Our goal was to get what Eric Burton did federally and I think we’ve done that,” said Dougherty.

The large geographic size and diverse demographics of the riding made it a challenge in terms of campaigning, said Dougherty.

MESSAGE FOR INCUMBENT His message for the incumbent Conservative MPP, John Yakabuski?

“There’s a lot of work to be done in this riding,” said Dougherty.

“He (Yakabuski) kept talking about bringing jobs to the riding. Yakabuski better be working hard to get those jobs.”

Forestry and agriculture in particular are industries that are hurting in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke.

Dougherty spoke to both Liberal candidate John O’Leary and incumbent

MPP John Yakabuski by telephone.

“I’ll see you in a few years from now, John, I’ll be after your job again,” Dougherty told Yakabuski.

He praised the MPP, O’Leary and his other fellow candidates for running a strong, clean campaign.

‘Thanks Brian for a race well done’ read a cake presented to Dougherty at the same time his wife, Kimberly, received flowers for “being a single parent during the campaign,” said campaign manager Felicite Stairs, the provincial candidate in 2003 and 2007.

“He was just a joy to work with,” said Stairs, who came in halfway through the campaign to replace Eric Burton, who moved mid-campaign and had to hand over the reins.

Dougherty made such a good candidate because he lives what the NDP is about, she said.

“He’s a lunchbox New Democrat,” she said. “He’s living what we’re talking about. He’s been very exciting to work with.”

Among a number of long-time local NDP supporters was Ish Theilheimer, who was impressed with Dougherty’s success and pleased to see the Conservatives didn’t gain ground.

“Hudak scared the heck out of a lot of Ontarians,” said the long-time RNP NDP supporter, who was pleased to see the Liberals and NDP “nip-and-tuck” in the riding.

Education

Proud history of volunteerism at RCI RCI has a proud history of volunteerism, both within the school and in the community.

The source of much of this volunteer work can be found within RCI’s student council, the Blue Zone Student Association.

Composed of a group of individuals ready to help, this union of volunteers dedicates many hours of their time, making the school a truly special place to be.

Their work doesn’t stop there, however, as they also help in making the community and, to a certain degree, the world a finer place to live.

Mr. and Mrs. Wright have been at the helm of the student council for twelve years, dedicating their time to give students the chance to be a part of this important organization.

Their time and commitment to the school and the community is phenomenal.

The student council at RCI has several positions and jobs that students run and undertake for the year. This

CHARLIE BOSSY RAIDER RAP year the council includes Anthony Burton as president, Meghan Forgie, VP of finance, Mikaela Barnes, VP of administration, Maddie Kubieski, VP of athletics, Joe Steele, VP of dances, Dylan Shore and Erika Jenkins, VPs of activities, and Hillary MacMillan and Paige Dillabough the VPs of spirit.

These dedicated people commit many hours of their time to organize events at the school and in the community.

These events are what give RCI its proud history and its reputation for being a school that cares.

The Blue Zone is responsible for many events that occur at the school.

The Relay for Life event is perhaps the biggest event that they organize, involving both the school and the com-

munity.

A huge success every year, Relay for Life is inspiring to say the least.

Covering every detail of the Relay, the council works tirelessly to ensure that everything runs smoothly.

Last year, our fifth annual Relay for Life, held at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre, raised just over $90,000, the second most for any school in the province.

Over $400,000 has been raised over the five-year history of the event.

It is not just Relay for Life that the student council is involved with, but also many other school and community activities. Often the student council works in partnership with the food bank.

Last week many volunteers went door to door collecting food. The food drive was considered a great success, with many cans collected to stock the food bank.

Whether they be running the operation or just lending a hand, the student council of RCI is always there to help.

Editor’s Note: This ends the series on five local businesses that were at the original Taste of the Valley in Cobden.

Dwight Mick is a true pioneer of Taste of the Valley. He attended every event this season.

ONE STOP IMPORT SHOPPING!

When you drive through the quiet hamlet of Micksburg, one thing you will immediately notice is the number of family farms in the surrounding area.

Drive along Mountain Road and you will happen upon a large cow/calf farm that is a thirdgeneration farm specializing in non-certified organic beef.

Dwight Mick is the grandson of a traditional dairy, beef, horse, pig and chicken farmer. Today, Dwight and his wife Grace raise quality cows and Dwight can be seen at the Cobden Farmers’ Market on a regular basis. He is also a mainstay at not only the Cobden Taste of the Valley, but he is the only original Taste of the Valley vendor that has appeared at all of this year’s previous events, in Arnprior, Petawawa, Barry’s Bay and Renfrew.

For Dwight, his passion for fresh quality healthy food is his motivation. He left the family farm years ago to pursue a teaching career in Ottawa, but returned to his Valley roots to help his dad take care of the family farm back in 1992.

While Dwight taught full-time at both Fellowes High School in Pembroke and Opeongo High School at Kelly’s Corners, he was also a full-time farmer in the offhours.

Since he began his second career as a family farmer, Dwight has always tried to help consumers find healthy choices for eat-

ing. As a high school teacher and athletic coach, he saw firsthand the damaging effects that quick prepared fast food has on children, and that is why he is such a strong advocate of buying local at farmers’ markets and especially at Taste of the Valley.

Dwight and Grace are strong advocates of fresh products.

Dwight maintains an annual crop rotation, and he uses manure for the grain and hay crops for his natural beef. He doesn’t use pesticides, steroids, hormones, fertilizer or herbicides on the farm.

All animals are born and raised on the farm and no animals are brought in from other farms.

Every five years he brings in a new bull and it is always from registered stock. Dwight uses the services of McGarroch’s of Micksburg, which is a government-inspected abbatoir.

Like many of the vendors at Taste of the Valley, Dwight often calls on his volunteer army of family members to help out on the big day.

Alongside Dwight and Grace, you will often find his sister Faye and brother Craig and other friends and relatives.

So when you visit Taste of the Valley, be sure to stop by and visit the Micks. He will have a freezer full of a wide variety of cuts of meat, fresh pepperettes, and sausage.

Dwight will also take the time to make you a fresh roast-beefon-a-bun using homemade buns, and he will also have sausage-ona-bun for your tasting pleasure.

Record turnout expected at Taste of the Valley BRUCE MCINTYRE Renfrew County Media Relations

The County of Renfrew says Saturday’s Oct. 15 Taste of the Valley in Cobden will be a record event, as 104 local vendors showcase the finest local meat, pork, produce, honey, dairy, baked goods, maple syrup and a host of other food items all produced in the county.

There will also be a number of artists, craftsmen, authors and other local producers who bring the county’s unique heritage to life.

Admission and parking is free, but everyone is encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item to help the Cobden Food Bank.

The event, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Cobden Fairgrounds, is sponsored by the County of Renfrew and ProTyre in Renfrew. The outdoor tent is sponsored by Marshall’s Event Tent Rentals.

Event spokesperson Bruce McIntyre says Taste of the Valley exceeded expectations of the organizing committee.

“As was the case with the

Barry’s Bay Taste of the Valley, we have had to turn away some vendors because there is no room left.

“We expect thousands of residents and visitors to come to Cobden that day and enjoy an incredible selection of free samples and also enjoy the music and various displays.

“Taste of the Valley has emerged as one of the key agricultural events in Renfrew County and more importantly, it allows residents to meet the people who grow and produce our food.”

In 2011, Taste of the Valley was held in Petawawa, Barry’s Bay and Renfrew.

This year also marks the fifth anniversary of Taste of the Valley and there will be some special guests and other surprises.

The Cobden event, last in the series of local-produce showcases, will also feature a large Kidz Zone with free ice cream, plus candy apples and popcorn for sale; an outdoor pig roast; rope-making demonstrations; a blacksmith; and an old-fashioned toffee-making display.

Pumpkins are a popular choice at Taste of the Valley.

Above right, the Cake in a Jar display also draws a curious crowd.

Riders sharpen equestrian skills MARTHA CORKER

Kristy Trebinskie, at left, with Sasha, and Cythnia Reaume, with Lola.

To improve the safety and standardize the level of riding instruction for the general public, a nationally recognized progressive series of English or Western Rider Levels has been developed

by Equine Canada and administered by the provincial equestrian body; in this case, the Ontario Equestrian Federation.

Each Rider Level exam

consists of three parts – a riding test, a written test and an oral theory test. Successful participants must achieve 70 per cent in all three phases to be successful.

Participants must successfully complete the English Rider Level 6 or the Western Rider Level 4 prior to attempting their respective Instructor exam. Prerequisites for the Instructor exam also include a first aid course, a two-day theory course cover-

ing instructing techniques/ philosophies and an ethics exam. The Coach exam is a higher level still.

The Ontario Equestrian Federation website contains more information on the Rider Level programs, as well as a list of certified instructors and coaches in the area.

Spruce Ridge Equicentre recently held Rider Level testing. Congratulaions goes to Kristy Trebinskie (left), who passed her English Rid-

er Level 6. She is now in college in Cornwall, but is still preparing for and planning to take her English Instructor exam in the spring.

Congratulations also go to Cynthia Reaume. She passed her English Rider Level 4 and is continuing to work towards her Rider Level 5, 6 and English Instructor. Cynthia also has her Western Rider Level 2 and is continuing her western training for her Western Instructor.

Smile Cookies are gone, but the smiles they’ve left in our community will last forever. Thanks to your support, Tim Hortons will be donating the entire proceeds to The Bonnechere Manor Foundation of over $4400.00 .

First of the northern migrants to arrive A large flock, 75-plus, of darkeyed juncos arrived at Mary Steele’s feeders last Friday. They are the first species of the northern migrants to arrive.

Some juncos do nest in this area, but most nest in areas north of a line between Mattawa and Sault St. Marie. When daylight hours become fewer, the birds begin to drift southward, feeding and resting along the way. They arrive at our feeders during October and November when food sources are plentiful, but when snow begins to fall they move on. Some adult males often remain with us for the winter.

There are about 16 different colour variations among darkeyed juncos across Canada. In our area the slate-coloured variety is prominent. The best field marks are the white belly and white outer tail feathers. Females and young are somewhat greyish-brown rather than the dark grey of the male. The pink bill is a standout.

birds are flying in and out of the boxes carrying nesting materials including dried grass, mosses and pine needles. The birds will remain for two or three days before moving on in search of food.

About 80 per cent of a bluebird’s diet during the spring and summer is insects and about 60 per cent during the fall and winter. If they remain in this area during October, they eat the fruit of sumac, red cedar, Virginia creeper, elderberry and dogwood. They will eat chopped dried fruit and chopped peanuts at our feeders, if the jays and starlings do not get them first.

is over five inches long. They are very active when feeding or when disturbed. They continually hop about from branch to branch, making it very difficult to get a good look at them.

The ruby-crowned is greyish olive-green above, white below and has a bold white eye-ring.

The adult male has a ruby-red crown patch but it is rarely seen unless the bird is excited.

The golden-crowned has an orange patch bordered on the sides and forehead by black stripes; a white eyebrow and black eyeline complete the facial pattern.

Upper parts are greenish yellow, underparts grey; the wings have two white wing bars.

These birds are very difficult to identify, but watch for very small, active birds as they search for insect eggs.

KINGLETS

RAVENS SOAR

Kinglets, ruby-crowned and golden-crowned, are two of our smallest and most active birds, along with hummingbirds. A ruby-crowned kinglet appeared near Tracey Marki’s feeder last Thursday.

Both species are smaller than a chickadee: four inches long as compared to a chickadee which

This is the time of year when ravens play on the thermals, soaring and calling as they circle up, up and almost disappear.

The raven is the most intelligent bird we have. They are great talkers and have a vocabulary that astounds researchers. The most common call is a wooden, hoarse croak or kwawk.

JIM FERGUSON SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE

BLUEBIRDS RETURN One and possibly two families of bluebirds have returned to investigate the nest boxes at Mary and Dwain Turcottes’ home. The

Dr. Konrad Lorenz, a Nobel prize-winner, identified a call, rack, rack, rack rack to mean “Come fly with me.”

Last Saturday I heard an unusual call of rack, rack, rack, and a few seconds later the same call but with four call notes. The call was being given by a raven soaring and calling, three notes and a few seconds later four notes. The bird was moving slowly westward continuing to call three notes, four notes, three notes for as long as I could see and hear it, possibly 20 minutes.

The repetition amazed me.

Colleen James of Haley Station photographed this strange spider in their blue box.

Wolf Spider speedy JIM FERGUSON The wolf spider belongs to a family of fast-moving beneficial spiders. They basically outrun their prey, thus the name wolf spider. Because of their speed they dart quickly through the garden, which startles many gardeners.

The adults are brown over all, with long, thin legs and tan stripes on the back. They dwell in burrows and the entrance is ringed with a turret of silk and debris. They hunt mostly at night for any insect they are able to capture. They quickly pounce on their victim and inject it with deadly venom.

The female may be seen carrying an egg sack, which will contain 40 to 50 eggs. The spiderlings are exact replicas of the adults when they are born.

NIGHT SOUNDS Small birds fly at night because it is safer and they don’t fall victim to larger birds of prey. During night flight they call back and forth to one another to keep the flock together and to identify with family groups.

Warm nights with a northerly wind are excellent times to hear their calls. It is almost impossible to recognize the species unless the moon illuminates their silhouette.

Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, RR 5, Renfrew, Ontario K7V 3Z8, or email jameshnrtco.net.

Ottawa Valley Physiotherapy is expanding to feature a third office.

The company, which has had offices in Renfrew and Arnprior since the late 1990s, is opening another office in Petawawa later this month.

The announcement was made Wednesday morning at the Petawawa Centennial Family Health Centre, which already features a family health team as well as a pharmacist and laboratory.

Its Petawawa office officially opens Oct. 31.

Patrick and Crystal Cayen of Horton Township are the owners of Ottawa Valley Physiotherapy, which has recently increased its staff from seven to eight physiotherapists, in anticipation of the expansion.

The firm is also looking for a third massage therapist.

Ottawa Valley Physiotherapy’s current team includes a sports medicine physician, three physiotherapist as-

sistants, a kinesiologist and three office managers.

“We have a great team of people,” said Patrick Cayen, who is also one of the company’s physiotherapists.

“It’s a great opportunity, and Petawawa’s a booming community.

“Our vision is to be the physiotherapy provider in the Ottawa Valley, and that’s a big step for us.”

The “significant” investment is primarily for new equipment and renovations to its new Petawawa space of nearly 1,500 square feet.

That space will house two consultation rooms (one that’s also used for massage), a small gym, a reception area and treatment areas for six patients.

Ottawa Valley Physiotherapy will offer the same orthopedic, sports, neurological and cardio-respiratory physiotherapy services already provided in Arnprior and Renfrew.

Its ancillary services include acupuncture, custom bracing, a full complement of orthopedic appliances and custom orthotics.

Time is running out for low-income property owners to take advantage of a

program that could see their homes insulated for free.

Delivered by EnviroCentre, a non-profit environmental group that has put new insulation in 300 Ottawa-area homes, the retrofit program is paid for through Enbridge Gas Home Weatherization.

However, EnviroCentreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jessica Sheridan said getting older homes in the Valley properly insulated will do wonders for the environment and pocketbooks.

Ottawa Valley Heritage Radio

Preparations are underway for a Christmas event that will combine the joy of the season with a helping hand for those in need.

On Saturday, Nov. 30 we can all be part of The Holly Jolly Radiothon on 98.7FM Valley Heritage Radio.

It will be an all-day party with live music, dancing and fun, while also opening hearts to the needs of so many. Pledges from all over the Valley will go equally to three important organizations representing the old and the young and everyone in-between.

All proceeds go to the Bonnechere Manor Foundation in Renfrew, the Child Poverty Action Network (CPAN) and to the Renfrew County United Way, whose arms open to those in need on both the Ontario and Quebec sides of the Ottawa River.

We wanted to let you know about the Holly Jolly Radio-thon in advance so you can find a way to get involved.

Musicians can become part of the live radio show and groups can organize to support the cause.

There are many people who will need your help over the long cold winter…and help starts here at home in the Valley.

The Holly Jolly Radiothon for the United Way, CPAN and the Bonnechere Manor Foundation, will be broadcast live on Valley Heritage Radio 98.7 FM from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 26.

You can lend a helping hand – one pledge at a time.

For more information and details on how you can get involved, please contact info@valleyheritageradio.ca or call (613)432-9873.

Kathy Dagg and Lori Bulmer present a cheque for $500 to Bob Mathews of the Renfrew Food Bank.

The funds are from proceeds from the Really Cool Initiatives summer production, Do You Believe in Magic. The show prominently featured music by the late Harry Chapin and in recognition of his passionate efforts to feed the world through his World Hunger Year Foundation, Really Cool Initiatives felt it was fitting to direct the proceeds from their concession sales to the food bank.

Education is power, and local health care org anizations are recognizing the significance of Provincial Elder Abuse Awareness Day by offering an evening of presentations to ensure Renfrewarea seniors are informed about their long-term care planning options.

The public is invited to attend Wednesday, Oct. 19.

“Planning for a Healthy and Prosperous Future” will be the topic of discussion presented in partnership with Renfrew Victoria Hospital, the Regional Assault Care Program (RACP), the Response to Elder Abuse Prevention & Awareness Coalition for Renfrew County (REAPAC) and the Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County.

“An important strategy in the prevention of elder abuse is education.

Empowering seniors to be free from harm involves informing older adults about their rights and issues such as mental capacity that may impact on their ability to make financial, personal care and health treatment decisions. The education session on Oct. 19 will help seniors to better understand power of attorney documents, as well as inform seniors about measures that can be used to promote choice and wellbeing such as advanced care planning,” says Jennifer Valiquette, RVH program manager of the

McElligott rebounds from costly 1911 fire to build again OCTOBER 12, 1911

OLGA LEWIS

NEW HOTEL AT EGANVILLE: Mr. C. McElligott, of Eganville, is asking for tenders to be in within the next 10 days for a new hotel building to be erected on the site of the old one that was destroyed in the big fire. The building will be of frame and will be 42 x 61, and three storeys high. Mr. McElligott lost $20,000 through the big fire, but still has faith in the village and its future, and work on the building will be pushed ahead.

ANOTHER BUSINESS CHANGE: Another business change occurred in town last week when Mr. J. Mayhew disposed of his barber shop to Mr. T. Burns formerly of town, but late of Park Hill, Ont. The deal was put through last Thursday evening when Mr. Burns took charge. Mr. Burns learned the business under Mr. Mayhew, and for the past year and a half was connected with the stand next to the British Hotel. Mr. Burns left Renfrew last fall for Park Hill, where he owned a successful business there. He sold the business at Park Hill and purchased the tonsorial parlors of Mr. Mayhew, where he is now serving the Renfrew public. Mr. Mayhew has been in the barbering business for the past six years, and will now likely retire from active work in the barbering line.

FROM THE OLD FILES

OCTOBER 1, 1936 BETTER DRAINAGE FOR PRINCE STREET: Excavations on Prince Street for better surface drainage began on Tuesday by a gang of about a dozen men, handling pick and shovel and leaving the ditcher under cover.

Work was begun at the foot of the street, and there being no rock, good progress was made.

Twelve-inch pipes were laid and already from the top of the hill they are underground to the water’s edge in Smiths Creek.

ROTARIANS DISCUSS CLUB BUSINESS AFFAIRS: The Rotary luncheon at Hotel Renfrew on Monday last was taken up with club business affairs. Rotarian Dr. J.J. McCann reported in a brief speech on the district meeting held at the Seignory Club at which some Renfrew Rotarians

attended. Some adjustments were made in the speakers committee and Mr. C.A. Dewey is now chairman of that committee. A committee was appointed of Rotarians Sayles, Chown, Scott and McPhail to confer with regard to a citizens testimonial to his Honor Judge Wright. A guest of the club luncheon was a nephew of Rotarian Rod Fraser, Mr. Robert Logie of Sudbury.

OCTOBER 6, 1971 SOUTH RENFREW VOTERS NUMBER CLOSE TO 22,000: It would appear that the lowering of the voting age to 18 in Ontario will mean an increase of almost 1,500 voters for Renfrew South in the Oct. 21 provincial election.

Returning officer for Renfrew South, Allen McManus, told the Mercury-Advance, that prior to the courts of revision being held throughout the riding, a total of 21,915 persons had been enumerated as eligible voters for the 1967 election, when the legal age was 21 years. Three candidates will be running in South Renfrew, Paul Yakabuski, P.C., who has held the seat since being elected in 1963; Leonard Quilty, Liberal, and Jack McCullough, NDP standard bearer.

OFFICERS INSTALLED: The Kiwanis Club of Renfrew has two new members. Peter Brotherhood, a teacher at St. Joseph’s High School, and Earl Anderson, who is in the milk business, were formerly inducted into the club Monday night. Lieut.-Gov. Eric Ellis also installed the new officers of the club during a regular meeting held at the Sunset Motel.

The new directors are Garnet LeClaire, Dan Gigeault, Craig Whyte, Les Abbott, Doug Sadler, Ernie Nesbitt, and Mary Kuss.

Secretary is Tom Smith and treasurer is Joe Boicey. Hugh Miller and Doug Palmer are vicepresidents and Tom Ryan is the new president of the club for the years 1971-72.

Olga Lewis is available to help with research. Contact her at olewis@sympatico.ca.

FIRE RAVAGES HOTEL RENFREW Firefighters were busy at the scene of the 1968 fire that destroyed the historic Hotel Renfrew on the town’s main street.

Seniors

People Helping People: Home Support seeks volunteers JENNIFER LANE Program Support Assistant

Are you recently retired or have been retired for a while and realize that you have time on your hands and don’t know what to do? Well, I have the solution for you – become a volunteer.

We at Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support help seniors and adults with disabilities in Renfrew and surrounding area stay in their homes. Without our volunteers we would not be able to help the seniors in our area get to medical appointments or keep connected with their community.

Our transportation program, which allows seniors to get to their doctor appointments out of town, allows our volunteers to meet new people while ensuring clients get the medical treatments that they need.

Our friendly visiting program matches you with a client who is looking for someone to visit with them, maybe play cards

or just sit and listen to music. There are so many seniors who are living alone and would enjoy having someone come and visit with them. If you are someone who would enjoy and feel rewarded by becoming a volunteer, please give us a call at 613432-7691.

We would like to thank everyone who joined us for our Harvest Dinner that was held on Saturday, Sept. 17 at the Renfrew Tea Room. The ladies once again served a wonderful meal and we are looking forward to hosting another dinner in the New Year. Our evening finished with the drawing of the 50/50 winner, Mike Verchere, from both the plowing match and dinner.

Saturday, Oct. 1 we held our third annual fundraising dance with ArnpriorBraeside-McNab Seniors At Home Program Inc. at the Renfrew Legion. A great evening of excellent music and late lunch was enjoyed by all. A big thank-you goes out to all the businesses that donated gifts for our door prizes and silent auction, as well as to the bands Cruisin-Country

OFFICE 613-623-7922

and Mike Fahey, Peter Dawson & Classic Country. Harvey McLaughlin was the winner of the 50/50 draw.

Our annual Christmas luncheon will be held on Dec. 8 at the Renfrew Wing. Stay tuned for more information.

National Seniors Day celebrated To mark Canada’s first National Seniors Day, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant said thanks. “Thank you.

I am proud of you,” she said in a Sept. 29 news release. “I value what you have done for our country, our county, and our local community. You deserve our thanks.

National Seniors Day is our time to join together as a nation to honour Canadian

seniors,” Gallant said.

Coinciding with the United Nations’ International Day of Older Persons, the federal government established National Seniors Day as an opportunity for Canadians to pay tribute to the contributions that seniors make to their families, communities, workplaces and society.

Seniors From Page 35 Renfrew lawyer John Cooke will discuss powers of attorney. Cooke is heavily involved in the local community and currently sits as a volunteer on the RVH ethics committee, the board of directors for Hospice Renfrew and the board for Community Living Renfrew County South.

An expert panel, consisting of a family physician, mem-

bers of RVH’s Ethics Committee and other health care providers, will answer questions at the end of the session, notes RVH’s vice-president of patient care services Chris Ferguson. Brochures, pamphlets and other important resources will be made available for people to take home at the end of the seminar.

Dealing with this type of sensitive, but crucial subject matter plays a major role in living well later in life, when a

patient no longer has the ability to express their own needs and desires.

“It is important that members of our community do advanced planning related to their wishes in case of illness and it is important that they have those conversations and do that planning ahead of time,” says Ferguson, adding she feels this is an appropriate discussion to hold on Provincial Elder Abuse Awareness Day.

“The ethics committee at RVH is often involved in situations where advanced planning has not taken place. It’s always challenging to ensure that you, as their care providers, are carrying out patients’ wishes in these situations,” says Ferguson.

There is no cost to attend and you do not need to pre-register for this event. If you have any questions, or would like more information, contact Chris Ferguson at 432-4851, ext. 225.

Seniors saluted From Page 38 “National Seniors Day is an occasion to celebrate Canadian seniors,” Gallant said. “Today, we recognize the many contributions seniors have made and we thank them for continuing to be mentors and leaders in our communities.

“Seniors play an important role in communities across Canada. They have shaped our country, raised a generation and fought for our rights and freedoms.”

Greater Madawaska

Greater Madawaska Housing Corporation to hold ďŹ rst annual general meeting Oct. 19 In the spring of 2009 Greater Madawaska Township made an appeal to anyone interested in the concept of affordable housing for seniors in the community to sit on a committee, which would look at this issue.

A number of interested citizens answered that appeal and came together to form the nucleus of what eventually became the Greater Madawaska Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Housing Corporation.

A signiďŹ cant amount of work has been done in the past two years. There are two campuses planned, one in Calabogie and the other in GrifďŹ th, aimed at accommodating the needs of residents in all parts of the township.

Consultant Jill McFarlane, who took a lead role in the FairďŹ elds Project in Eganville, has

been retained to help the corporation to develop business models and make applications to various organizations and agencies. McFarlane has a wealth of experience in the area of affordable housing and has linkage with other affordable housing resources.

Architectural drawings and ďŹ&#x201A;oor plans for the proposed units have been delivered and

are available for viewing and comment.

A number of information sessions have been held over the past two years to update the community on the plans and to provide status on the development of the facility.

The corporation is holding its ďŹ rst annual general meeting at the DACA Centre on Wednesday, Oct. 19.

Everyone who is interested in this project is encouraged to attend.

The corporation consists of Pat Halloren and Juliette LeGal from GrifďŹ th-Matawatchan and Pat Ripmeester, Bill Beacham, Peter Emon and Rev. Bill GrifďŹ ths of Calabogie.

Councillor Glenda McKay is the liaison person for Greater Madawaska council.

IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORY of my Brother Pat who passed away one year ago on October 11, 2011 He was someone we could talk to; no one can take his place, He was someone we would laugh with till the tears ran down our face, He was someone we could count on to love and understand, He was the best brother, son, husband, uncle and dad anyone could ever have.

Memories are the loveliest things, They last from day to day, They don’t get lost, they don’t wear out, And cannot be taken away!

Suddenly at her residence on September 26, 2011, Helen was taken from us due to a cardiac arrest. My dad, Earl and I (Shelley) would like to extend a very sincere and heartfelt “Thank You” to everyone for the support, love and kindness shown to us by many. To many family members, aunts, uncles and cousins.

To our friends and neighbours for all your acts of kindness and sympathy. For the cards, floral tributes, phone calls, visits and food brought to our home, it was very much appreciated. To the paramedics who tried to help her that day, you did your best, thank you. A special thanks goes out to Kirk Anderson.

Renfrew and area was well represented at the 2011 Arnprior Agricultural Society Brawl in the Fall demolotion derby at the Arnprior fairgrounds.

The Oct. 1 second-annual event was also a fundraiser for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

Gary Haybecker drove away with top prize money at the second annual Brawl in the Fall demolition derby at the Arnprior fairgrounds Saturday.

Haybecker, who was sponsored

by Bill’s Appraisals and Cavanagh Construction, earned $3,000 as survivor of the mid-size, sixcylinder showdown.

Second-place honours and $1,000 went to James Anderson whose car was sponsored by Spa Salon in Arnprior.

The third-place prize of $540 went to John Byers, who was sponsored by Matco Tools.

Prize money was based on numbers of entries, and the next biggest prize pool was for the large, eight-cylinder class.

In that finale Greg Johnson, driving for Jeff ’s Fab Farm, took home $2,500 for finishing on top in the final race of the day that showcased a field of experienced derby drivers.

James Anderson’s Spa Salon entry is, literally, all over the competition.

Mark Wright keeps a close eye on the competition.

Second place went to Jeff Woito who picked up $800 with his entry co-sponsored by Sledzz BBQ and Jim New Preowned.

Third place and $480 was picked up by Randy Haybecker who was sidelined by a fire under the hood.

The mini, four-cylinder finals was a never-say-die battle as Corey Washburn of CTC/JW Car Wash was eliminated first, fol-

lowed by Craig Anderson of Anderson Automotive who left with $350 prize money for his thirdplace finish.

The remaining two cars were pulled apart three times and finally determine a clear winner – Harry Parsons who eventually outlasted Andrew Normandeau.

Parsons got $1,500 for gutting out the win and Anderson picked up $600.
