Imbleau’s to close in January Town’s oldest company shutting down STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR

Our Lady of Fatima School students and staff had a strong reaction to Eva Olsson’s talk.

H. Imbleau and Son is one of Canada’s oldest family-owned businesses, but not for much longer. The foundry will cease operations in late January when the remaining staff are let go, says owner Lucy Imbleau. The owner admits it’s hard to pinpoint how old the company is, but it appears Renfrew’s oldest business is nearly as old as the Town of Renfrew, which was incorporated in 1858. A stove front that hangs on the wall in the foundry’s office displays an image of a deer and the date, 1858. It’s from one of the Forest Beauty stoves the foundry developed. Other sources indicate its first letterhead was dated 1867. Fifth-generation Imbleau family members Joshua and Michael work for the foundry, which was founded by French-born Luc Imbleau following his arrival in Renfrew, perhaps in the early 1860s. Unable to read or write, he started the business, after working at the St. Maurice Ironworks foundry in Trois Rivieres, Que., with the help of his convent-educated wife, Henrietta, who handled translations and business transactions.

Reflections on a mostly-healthy summer at the visitor centre STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

The Renfrew Industrial Commission (RIC) could pursue several new ventures in 2012, but let’s also enjoy the successes of 2011. That was the feeling gener-

ated by RIC executive director Dave Lemkay in a presentation to town council Monday. Six hundred and ninety-six visitors signed the registration book at the Renfrew Visitor Centre on O’Brien Road, but Lemkay estimates the real number was closer to 1,000 during the

summer season. “I think it’s fair to say the number was higher than that … Not everyone signed the guest book,” said Lemkay. Twenty-nine per cent of those visitors were from the Ottawa Valley. Another 18 per cent were from the Ottawa area, nine from

Quebec, eight from southwestern Ontario, and four to five per cent from each of western Canada, United States, eastern Ontario and overseas. The numbers were encouraging during a summer when the industrial commission used three, instead of its usual two,

students to staff the visitor centre, said Lemkay. The visitor summer report from those tourist ambassadors — Candice Sweet, Corey Grist and Shawn Eckford — was summarized at Monday’s council meeting by Lemkay. See ‘REFLECTIONS’, Page 6

Renfrew foundry closing its doors the final Friday in January Continued from front Nearly 150 years later, the writing is on the wall for the company whose cast-iron manhole covers have found their way around North America and overseas. But times have changed. “I think a lot of it is the economy,” said Lucy Imbleau. “A lot of castings are coming from offshore …They have most of Toronto (manholes) tied up.” One of her customers recently noted other countries are providing cast-iron products for less, but haven’t yet realized they’ll have to replace them in short order. But the time has come to close up shop, says the 55-year-old Imbleau. That realization heightened in the past year. “Usually our summers are fairly busy, and it was a slow summer. And the (last)

winter wasn’t much better.” For the last four or five years, staff has been down to 10 employees, in sharp contrast to a double shift and probably more than 40 workers when Lucy and Bob Imbleau tied the marital knot more than 30 years ago. “When Bob and I were married, we had two shifts on and we poured (for cast iron covers) every day. Now the company pours every second day. Manhole covers aren’t the only thing the company makes. Other items include rectangular cooking pans for barbecues and 19-inch diameter frying pans that have been the rage in local hunt camps for years. “The word’s out (on the street), so everyone’s coming in for frying pans,” she says of the $80 items. Over the years, other castings were also popular, including the clod crusher

that was developed by the local foundry to work the farmers’ clay flatlands of the former Admaston Township. VETERAN EMPLOYEES Several employees have been with the company a long time. They include Frank St. Michael, who was hired in November 1971, while Garnet St. Michael started with the foundry in June 1973. Now the hard part starts, says Lucy Imbleau, referring to where to go from here. “They’ve all been notified, with three months’ notice. Technically all are being laid off,” she said. The office will remain open with sons Joshua and Michael and herself in the office for a while, in the New Year, to redirect customers and do accounts receivable and accounts payable. “The book end of it, that’s the scary

part,” says Imbleau. “I don’t know what to do. It’s been mind-boggling, just to decide what to do with the (two) houses (on the property) and with the stock.” However, she’s hopeful negotiations with Founderie Laperle, near Montreal, will help tie up some loose ends in the business. In recent years, she says sales have tumbled, dropping to around $500,000 a year. About 16 years ago, Lucy’s husband Bob died of a massive heart attack at the young age of 42. That left Lucy sharing ownership with Bob’s mom, Cecile. About four years ago, Lucy bought out Cecile’s shares in the business. “When I got married, I never thought I’d be doing this,” says Lucy while sitting in the foundry’s office. “I never thought I would be managing a business, but I’ve had lots of help.”

STEVE NEWMAN

steve.newman@metroland.com

A war bride from England and a proud daughter-in-law of a Royal Canadian Air Force veteran were among several hundred people who paid their respects at Renfrew’s annual Remembrance Day Memorial Service last Friday. The war bride was Ruth Purdie of Renfrew who was wheel chaired to the cenotaph to lay a wreath as this year’s Silver Cross Mother. Her husband Dave met her in England in 1943 when she was working for the British Army’s Auxiliary Territorial Service. Dave, a Canadian soldier, didn’t say much about the war after it was over, but he was a proud Legion member, says his wife. In 1991 he started the Renfrew Silver Seniors, a group represented in Friday’s laying of the wreaths by Ruth Elliott. Dave, who died in 2002, was a past-president of the Renfrew Royal Canadian Legion. Friday’s service brought back emotional wartime memories, said Purdie. It was also emotional for Cobden resident Barbara Barre. Barre, who works in Renfrew, took the photograph of her father-in-law, Robert Barre, to the service. The Cobden resident, who died in September 2011 at the age of 99, fought for the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War. “I wanted to take him with me,” she said of Friday’s service where she held the photo of him in his Air Force uniform. “He was very proud (to be a soldier).” The sole survivor of a plane crash while fightPhoto above left: Barbara Barre holds the photograph of Robert Barre, ing in Egypt during the war, he needed a year to her father-in-law, who fought with the Royal Canadian Air Force in the recover from reconstructive surgery to one side of his face.

More than 40 wreaths were laid as four soldiers from Canadian Forces Base Petawawa’s D Battery of 2 RCHA (Royal Canadian Horse Artillery) stood solemnly, with heads bowed, at the four corners of the cenotaph. Another participant was Pastor Bruce Ferguson. “At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, time stands still for a moment,” he said. “And we remember those who died, not for war, but for a world that would be free and at peace.” In his following prayer, he asked God to teach us “to give to the uttermost; to give that which others have secured for us.” He also prayed for soldiers who are serving, or have served, in Afghanistan, the Darfur Region, Bosnia, Haiti, the Persian Gulf, Libya and in other places of the world. Pastor Ferguson asked, also, that “we look around and remember with compassion those who still suffer as the result of war – the bereaved, the lonely, the disabled and the mentally ill.”

Horton war veterans are not about to be forgotten. Residents of the township met at the Horton Community Centre to honour both the past and present veterans who have fought for the world’s freedom. Master of Ceremonies Jim Ferguson read off the list of those Hortonites who paid the ultimate sacrifice: Allan Eady, George Eady and Walter W. Smith in the First World War, and Adrian Burwell, Harold Eady, David Hunter, Willard Jamieson, Glenn Johnston, William S. Johnston and Arthur McMahon in World War II. The Horton Remembrance Day service included O’ Canada, sung by Bailey Rogers; the Renfrew Children’s Youth Chorus under the direction of Sister Joan Pecore and accompanist Pat Maloney; Last Post and Reveille by bugler Don MacLeod and The Lament by piper Graham Jamieson; the reciting of In Flanders Fields by Mae Craig; and the laying of wreaths, including one by Mayor Don Eady on behalf of the township. Canadian Military personnel were also in attendance and participated in the wreath laying ceremony. MP Cheryl Gallant commended current personnel on the Canadian Forces for their courage and dedication while MPP John Yakabuski said while we can’t repay those who made the ultimate sacrifice, we can remember. “The poppy is our sign and symbol,” he said. “There are no (Canadian)

war veterans left from the First World War, we can thank those survivors who returned from the Second World War.” Rev. Corey Ferguson led the congregation in prayer, and touched on four major events in history. He noted that the First World War (1914-18) was “the war to end all wars.” He said World War II (19391945) was “the war that made our nation. It has given us the great nation we have today.” Rev. Ferguson said one war that doesn’t get its due is the Korean War (1950-53). “It is often referred to as Canada’s forgotten war.” The reverend also noted the Gulf War (1991-95) and Sept. 11 Terrorist Attacks, and how people have persevered since 2001. “There is always hope, even in the darkest of times,” he said. In closing, Rev. Ferguson reminded people not to forget the veterans. • It is the Veteran, not the preacher, who has given us freedom of religion. • It is the Veteran, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. • It is the Veteran, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. • It is the Veteran, not the campus organizer, who has given us freedom to assemble. • It is the Veteran, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. • It is the Veteran, not the politician, who has given us the right to vote. • It is the Veteran, who salutes the flag.

McDougall Mill Museum of Renfrew is among the four winners in the first Rural Rambler’s Choice Awards. This year’s Rural Ramble saw the introduction of two new features – the Rural Ramble Passport Draw and the Rural Rambler’s Choice Awards. Rural Ramblers were encouraged to fill out passports included in the event guide. Completed passports were entered into a draw for a prize pack featuring unique gifts from participating Rural Ramble sites and valued at over $500. The winner of the first ever Rural Ramble Passport Contest is Hayley Cooper, a student at Carleton University. She, along with three friends, visited four sites over the Agriculture & Food weekend. Upon learning she had won the passport draw, Cooper exclaimed: “I’m delighted to receive this! The Rural Ramble was a fantastic experience!” The passports also included a spot for Ramblers to vote for their favourite Rural Ramble site (one per theme weekend). The winners of the first-ever Rural Rambler’s Choice Awards, in the four categories, are:

Reflections

Continued from Page 2 The report included a wide variety of visitors’ comments, from expensive prices at one local hotel to nice caboose display and what a beautiful town. Lemkay applauded council for its earlier decision to establish its own recreational vehicle sanitation station. Lemkay said it was a “tremendous asset,” even though it wasn’t completed until July, and will remain an important asset. “Quite frankly, I think it’s one of the best calling cards we have. So congratulations to you, as the council, for deliberating on and agreeing to install that. I’m convinced it’s money well spent, and that it will continue to service the needs of our travelling public.” Because Renfrew is often not a destination, but a stopping point en route to such destinations as Algonquin Park, the RV facility has helped attract more tourists to town, said Lemkay. “Renfrew is not so much the destination centre from afar as much as it’s an en-route stopping place for all the peripheral activities we have in the Ottawa Valley,” said Lemkay. Returning Renfrew residents have also used the facility, so Lemkay noted the facility has also benefitted local ratepayers. The industrial commission, which oversees the operation of the visitor centre, was also busy last summer upgrading the condition of its signs at the various entrances to town. Other RIC activities and upgrades included the Music in the Park events (which may be doubled next summer), the launching of local author Carol Bennett McCuaig’s 50th book, upgraded service signs, enhancement of the entrances to the Swinging Bridge, a $4,000 upgrade to McDougall Mill Museum (with a computer-controlled LED illu-

mination), steamed corn on the cob as part of Rural Ramble, and staffing of Renfrew’s booth at Expo 150. The visitor centre also had two cases of vandalism, namely damage to the Joe Mufferaw statue in June and extreme damage later in the summer to the visitor centre. Several items were smashed or broken and holes were punched in the wall. With the vandalism, the tourist ambassadors have recommended that security cameras be installed in the caboose for 2012. Other ideas being pitched for the summer of 2012 include an events board, picnic tables, more new benches at the visitor centre and O’Brien Park, a change table at the visitor centre, repainting of the visitor-centre caboose, new flowers or gardens at the centre, and removal of the caboose bathroom that is not operational. That space, said Lemkay, could perhaps be used as a TV viewing station for a movie about trains in the Valley, since there is already a bathroom in the adjacent visitor centre. “The caboose could also have a whistle with a cord that children could pull so that a loud train whistle could sound,” says the report. Other suggestions include a digital presentation of Ottawa Valley photos of places where tourists might visit. The report also recommends having a Muskoka chair placed outside the tourist booth to remind tourists that the booth is open. The staff also recommends that small souvenirs be made available, partly because “many people were not satisfied with our postcards since most of them are outdated pictures.” New Renfrew signs will also pitch the town as the birthplace of the National Hockey Association and National Hockey League. “The tourism committee recognizes the significance of the

designation,” said Lemkay, who also chairs the committee that consists of members from council, BIA, the chamber of commerce, and the industrial commission. “We have something here to really showcase (with the new

museum coming to the post office building).” Lemkay also used the presentation to present one of the proclamations signed by Renfrewshire and Renfrew officials, just after Renfrew County’s 150th anniversary celebrations.

The proclamation reaffirmed the twinning announced in the 1980s of Renfrew in Renfrewshire, Scotland and Renfrew. Lemkay presented a framed edition to Renfrew Mayor Bill Ringrose and Reeve Audrey Green, who took part in the June 13 signing.

Ladies at the “Royal Table” break out fine bone china and fancy hats to honour the recent royal wedding of William and Catherine. The 23-person table, easily the largest gathering at the event, was organized over a two-month period by Hannah Macmillan (right). Joining Hannah for a spot of tea are Sarah Landry (left) and hospice administraEvent organizer Jo-Anne Dowdall-Brown stays out of trouble under the watchful eyes tive assistant Helen McGregor (centre). of the boys in blue. The Renfrew officers generously (and bravely!) volunteered their evening to act as servers for the ladies. Shown, from left, are Rob Guty, Jason Verbruggen, Rhys Densmore, Shawn Mulvagh and Daren Rocque. Hoot for Hospice was named a great success by event co-chairs Jo-Anne Dowdall-Brown and Barb Westgarth. The pair estimated that well over $7,000 was raised in the well-attended event, which directly benefits Hospice Renfrew. Hospice Renfrew provides end-of-life care, at no cost, to people experiencing life-threatening or terminal illness. The not-for-profit organization receives minimal government funding and depends heavily on donations and fundraising, like the Hoot for Hospice, to continue offering their valuable services.

EDITORIAL

Keeping Christmas in the Valley

On August 25, 2011, The Renfrew Mercury published a letter to the editor under the heading “Citizens frustrated by lack of action” which detailed complaints about a neighbour’s composting, which was alleged to contravene local by-laws. As was reported on October 6, 2011, town officials subsequently determined that the neighbour’s composter did meet municipal requirements. The Renfrew Mercury apologizes to Ms. Mila Barnamova, whose composter was found to meet municipal standards and who did not have opportunity to comment on the original letter to the editor.

t’s a regular scene in the Valley in the leadup to Christmas. A member of your household arrives home from a shopping trip in the city, loaded down with bags from the mall after trying to check off every cousin and aunt on the “to buy for” list. And the regular process happens, where the money, often earned in the Valley, is spent at a store in the city – even if it wasn’t for a specific, special item, but something like a generic set of hand towels or a bottle of body wash. Christmas is just around the corner, even if we groan when we hear the Christmas music in the stores. There’s no denying that the shopping is going to begin soon. This Christmas, think about the best gift options for those around you. Is something sold in the city available in your own town? Our area is full of independent retailers and artists who create some unique items, with the dollars you spend being pushed back into the community. It’s like the 100-mile diet that has gained popularity over the past several years. Imagine completing the 25-kilometre holiday shopping season, and purchasing as many gifts as possible from businesses operated within 25 kilometres of your house. The options are pretty endless, and you might be amazed at some of the gems you can find without driving into Ottawa. You can cut back, save gas by sticking close to home, and help out local businesses by buying the close-to-home items. And you’ll probably find something unique. If you don’t see anything that tickles your fancy in the stores, most restaurants and businesses offer gift certificates. It’s often easier to buy an activity, like a dinner out at a restaurant in town, for a hard-to-shop-for person. No matter what preference in sweaters or candle scents your mother-in-law has, everyone eats. So as the holiday season draws closer by the day, and we start to draft our master plans of gift lists, try and think of what you can purchase from a local retailer or business. Not only will you be more likely to find a unique gift, but you’ll be giving a gift back to your community.

The Renfrew Mercury 141 years and counting. LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Seven billion people and counting To the editor: As of Oct. 31, there are now seven billion humans on Earth. How are we to think about this moment in our history? Is it trick or treat? As the most numerous vertebrate on the planet, the trick is on us. People who study such things estimate a sustainable human population is possible, but only with numbers that range from 250 million up to two billion. Dr. James Lovelock has stated that 300 million humans could do just about anything to the planet without altering the planet’s biosphere. It’s not the nature of our activity, but how many of us are engaged in such planet-altering activity. Why are there so many of us? It’s about equity and security. Persons without an equitable share of resources rely on large families to secure their ageing future. Women, who not only lack resource equity but also gender equity, rely upon male counterparts to secure

their position in many societies. Having large families is often part of that culture. Canadians need to know that we North Americans consume 25 per cent of the world’s resources, but we constitute only five per cent of the human population. At that standard, it leaves 20 per cent of humanity with nothing. Global equity would have us live with 80 per cent less resources. No way are we willing to give up 80 per cent of what we have worked so hard to achieve. But wait a moment and rethink the idea. Life is not a snapshot taken in 1/60th of a second; rather like a 60-year video. It’s not about what we have at a given moment in time; rather our total use of resources over the period of our lifetime. All that is needed to achieve equity is to make our resources last five times longer – that’s it! Instead of buying a new car every four years, design and maintain them

for 20 years. You don’t have to give up your 30 pairs of footwear for six pairs. Purchase quality footwear that lasts for decades and can be repaired indefinitely. Well-built furniture and homes can last for centuries if properly maintained. You can still be riding that bicycle you had in college 45 years later with new tires and chain. Although Gandalf the Grey tells Frodo, “Life is not about what you have, it’s about what you do with the time you are given,” we can still keep most of our ‘stuff.’ Taking care of the earth starts (and ends) by taking care of every little piece of it. Let us learn to live in a quality world where global equity means security for us all. Only then can we tackle the real problem – all of us. Seven billion and one... two... three. The secret is not to try and prevent the future, but to have the wisdom to survive it. Joseph Schwartz Douglas

The Renfrew Mercury - November 17, 2011

Nature

Who of us has not had a cookie snatched from our fingers by a gray jay? Their decline will certainly make hiking in Algonquin Park less interesting without the presence of the “camp robber”. A study of the decline is being co-authored by Prof. Ryan Norris, Department of Integrative Biology; Brian Kielstra, an undergraduate student in the Department of Geography; and Dan Strickland, retired chief naturalist of Algonquin Park in Ontario. Unlike most birds that migrate for winter, gray jays are year-round residents in the Canadian boreal forest. In win-

ter, they rely on berries, fungi, insects, carcass meat and other foods cached in nooks and crannies of trees during summer and fall. They remember where they’ve stored tens of thousands of food items scattered throughout a territory up to 352 acres (160 hectares) in size. What is perhaps more remarkable is that female gray jays start breeding in mid-February when temperatures are routinely below minus 15 degrees Celsius and there is very little food around, so these caches are crucial not only for over-winter survival but also for successful reproduction. An important question still remains: why the decline? The researchers think it may have something to do with climate change affecting the quality (thawing) of cached food, and they are currently conducting a series of experiments to study this. NEW ARRIVALS

JIM FERGUSON SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE feeders. Hi, Jim & Ila: It has been a colourful week at Poison Ivy Acres, beginning with pine grosbeaks eating seeds on my lilacs. Then a flock of purple finches arrived, and stayed around all week. I believe there may have been a house finch among them, for one bird was quite orange and it had dark stripes on the sides. Carol FOOD IS THE ATTRACTION Dear Ila and Jim: The view out of our front windows has both fields and an abandoned apple orchard. At one point there was a rafter of wild turkeys, two white-tailed deer, a black bear, and several raccoons, all feeding together. This morning, travelling on Ferguson Lake Road, there were half a dozen turkeys, not too unusual, but one of them was 90% white. He or she had dark wing tips but was predominantly white. Julia Winn Julia: Food is the attraction.

Fruit of any kind and apples in particular attract birds and animals from far and wide. In general they get along very well during their feeding sessions. The presence of a turkey that is 90 per cent white with dark wing tips leads us to believe that there is some domestic breeding somewhere in the mix. It also makes us wonder if the “wild” turkeys are really birds of the original wild turkey species.

the “crash” years that the owls move south to find food. In peak years, lemming populations may remove 95 percent of the vegetation cover. The result is mass migrations that lead to the death of many lemmings by drowning and starvation, plus thousands are eaten by birds and animals. Lemmings kill themselves, but it is not intentional. PLENTY OF FOOD

SNOWY OWL A snowy owl was seen by Maynard Vander Galien and Ron Ferguson, but stayed for only a day before moving on. Maynard and Ron said that the bird was very white, with only a few dark feathers in its plumage, indicating an adult male. The arrival of snowy owls indicates a shortage of its primary food item, lemmings. These little animals increase their population very rapidly for about five years and then their numbers crash. They simply over-populate, (a female may have up to 75 young in a year) their habitat, eating every bit of vegetation and occupying every possible nest site. It is in

Many are wondering where all the birds have gone. Millions have migrated, but our winter populations have simply moved to where the food is. Without any snow cover, there is an abundance of natural food available for the birds: haws, buckthorn berries, crab apples, pine, spruce, balsam and birch cones, sumac seed clusters, plus tons of weed seeds. When the first snow covers the natural food, the birds will arrive at our feeders. Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, RR 5, Renfrew, Ont., K7V 3Z8.

Community

The Renfrew Mercury - November 17, 2011

New United Way advisory committee launched in Renfrew and area A new Renfrew and area community advisory committee has been formed to represent the Town of Renfrew, Horton Township and Admaston-Bromley Township. The purpose of this new advisory committee is to assist the Renfrew County United Way and provide advice to the county-wide agency in terms of program delivery, funding opportunities, and assist in helping Renfrew County United Way meet the needs of the area. Renfrew resident and chair of the new committee, Bruce McIntyre, outlined some of the goals of the committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our committee has identified three key areas that we feel meets some of the goals of the Renfrew County United Way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to focus on child poverty, vulnerable youth and families in financial stress. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our committee is made up of incredible volunteers from Renfrew, Horton

Township and Admaston-Bromley Town- tors tickets and memorabilia for auction, ship, and they all have a wide range of and other hockey-related themes. The breakfast will also be a chance skills and unique experiences. One of our members, Krista Helferty, will be the for local residents to meet all committee Committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representative on the Renfrew County United Way Board of Directors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the first year, our focus will not be so much on fundraising, but rather focus on awareness and community initiatives for the area,â&#x20AC;? McIntyre said. The committee has already been involved with the Renfrew Food Bank by partnering with the organization to help raise funds and collect food at the September Taste of the Valley. One of the future key projects will be a special Hockey Day in Canada Breakfast at Ma-Te-Way Park, scheduled for Feb. 11, 2012. The breakfast will be part of the national Hockey Day in Canada festivities, and the event will feature Ottawa Sena-

members and gain a better understanding of the mandate of the Renfrew County United Way and how they can become involved in the local committee.

Keefe camping out for food bank STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Renfrew resident Bonnie Keefe did it two years ago, and she’s doing it again. Keefe is taking her grey tent and camping out at Metro grocery store in Renfrew from 9 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 18, to noon on Monday, Nov. 21. All donated non-perishable food and cash will be presented to the Renfrew and District Food Bank early Monday afternoon. Her tent is a dull colour, but not the cause, says Keefe. “I care about the food bank. I’m doing this to help make sure everyone has a good Christmas, particularly a Christmas dinner with their kids.”

Empties for food bank The Renfrew Beer Store is running a promotion in conjunction with the Renfrew and District Food Bank Dec. 1 to 4. Customers can donate their empties to the food bank. Beer store manager Pat Witjes has an added incentive he has raised to customers and staff. If they can raise $2,000 or more, he will shave his goatee. Prior to the weekend of Dec. 14, the Beer Store will have donation jars located on the counters if you wish to make a monetary donation for the food bank. If you have any questions, the employees responsible at the Beer Store for this promotion are Glen Stitchman and Tommy Mousseau.

Snow time like now STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

No snow, no problem ... maybe. Evening temperatures of -6 C or colder will allow Calabogie Peaks Resort to make enough snow to host the second annual Capital Cup on the Canadian Snowcross Racing Association (CSRA) circuit. Owner Paul Murphy recognizes that early-season conditions aren’t always wrapped in certainty. But he says suitably cold evening temperatures and an expanded fleet of expensive fan guns will be making snow at a feverish pace this month, in anticipation of the arrival of a few hundred snowcross competitors from the United States, Ontario and Quebec. The first stop on last year’s series was a big success, with combined crowds of over 2,500 for the two days last December. ExpectaMercury photos by Steve Newman tions are for bigger crowds this Iain Hayden leads this heat during last year’s Capital time, for the Dec. 3 and 4 event. “It’s not just good, it’s fabuCup at Calabogie Peaks Resort.

lous, to pull off an event like this at the beginning of the season,” CSRA president Ken Avann told The Mercury last season. Murphy says even more equipment is in place this season to make the Capital Cup a secondtime reality. The Peaks now has 23 high-technology fan guns, including several that are mounted on towers two to six metres above ground and others that are portable. Tower-mounted guns also produce more snow than ground models because of the additional hang time for water particles to freeze before they hit the ground. Under normal snowmaking conditions the Peaks’ snowmaking crew can open a run within 48 hours. “As soon as the weather’s good, we go and we keep going,” says Murphy. The Peaks has four million gallons in its water reservoirs and unlimited water from Calabogie Lake. The only loop needed for the Capital Cup runs less than 800 metres. That loop covers part of two runs that straddle the lower section of the quad lift. The Capital Cup features 41 snowmobile classes for novices, children, juniors, girls, women, veterans, masters and pros. The 11-part series resumes Jan. 14 in Rouyn-Noranda, Que., and ends April 1 at Horseshoe Valley. Calabogie Peaks plans to open its snowboard and ski season the weekend after the Capital Cup. At press time, it was 50-50 whether the event would be deferred to the Dec. 10-11 weekend.

This is one of the fan guns at Calabogie Peaks Resort that will make snow before the real snow flies.

Raiders claim 2011 senior boys volleyball crown PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

The Renfrew Collegiate Raiders finished in fifth place in the Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association 2011 senior boys volleyball league standings. But they also possessed a 6-and-3 record in a good, competitive league. In the playoffs, they proved their worth. The Raiders got on a post-season roll, winning all four matches they played, including two over host teams to capture the Renfrew County championship. The Raiders defeated the host Mackenzie Mustangs 3-2 and General Panet Pan-

thers 3-0 in the opening day of the postseason Nov. 8 in Deep River. Two days later at the St. Joseph’s Catholic High School gymnasium, RCI sidelined the Arnprior Redmen and host Jaguars, both in four sets, to claim the 2011 title. RCI pieced together two big comebacks to knock their arch-rivals from Arnprior out of contention 26-24, 25-14, 18-25, 25-23. The Raiders trailed the opening set 2420, and were down by as much as seven in the fourth set. But a crucial point in RCI’s successful run to the crown was their win in game three of the final. See ‘RAIDERS’ on Page 20

The St. Joseph’s Jaguars captured the 2011 Renfrew County junior boys volleyball championship with an unbeaten record of 13-and-0. In front row from left are coach Meghan Cahill, Joey Hanniman, Evan Naismith, Phillip Pilon and Nolan Saumure; middle row, Rory Whalen, Chris McClure, Trevor Vooght, Nych Paquette and Hayden McIntyre; and back row Tyler McIntyre, Mike Vice and Connor Budarick.

Undefeated Jaguars are Renfrew County junior champs PETER CLARK

peter.clark@metroland.com

There can be no doubt, the St. Joseph’s Jaguars are far and away the top junior boys volleyball team in the Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association. The Jaguars were forced to five sets only once during the regular season – a match in Barry’s Bay Oct. 27 – and dropped only two other sets while compiling a 9-and-0 record. In the playoffs, St. Joseph’s rolled to four consecutive match sweeps, including last Thursday’s semi-final victory over the Opeongo Wildcats, and their 2011 Renfrew County championship-clinching triumph

over the Fellowes Falcons. Playoffs included, the Jaguars put together a 13-and-0 season en route to the championship. JAGUARS DOMINATE The Jaguars sidelined Opeongo 3-0 in Thursday’s opening match before Fellowes overcame a 1-0 deficit to top the Madawaska Valley District Wolves 3-1 in the other semi-final. Before a packed gymnasium approaching the lunch hour, the Jaguars returned to the court to face Fellowes. See ‘JAGUARS’ on Page 19

The 1-3-1 trap could catch on in the National Hockey League Is the hockey world not acting a bit overzealous in their reaction to the Tampa Bay Lightning’s 1-3-1 defensive scheme implemented in a game against the Philadelphia Flyers last week? It has been dubbed The Night Hockey Stood Still after the Flyers refused to respond to Tampa Bay’s chess-like system. Hockey broadcasters have been tearing a shred off the Lightning ever since. But let’s look at the positive

PETER CLARK PETER’S PUTTERINGS side. It might help the game grow in the United States. Tampa Bay’s tactics actually had Americans talking about hockey, and Lord knows the good folks south of the border enjoy sports that you can follow along at a leisurely pace.

They love football – one play followed by a break of 20 or 30 seconds; and baseball – one pitch followed by a break of 20 or 30 seconds. And as for the faster sports like basketball and car racing, they know that in hoops, the ball is usually going to go to the big man, or the team’s superstar. On the oval, even without signalling, everybody knows all the cars are going to turn left. Now folks can open up a cold one, and discuss strategies on

the 1-3-1 trap as the hockey game rolls on. As the play develops, we can use last week’s game as a prime example: • Will Tampa Bay actually attempt a forecheck, or lay back? • Is the defenceman (in this case, Pronger) going to hold on to the puck? • Will he pass it across to the other defenceman? • Will he wait for a whistle? The possibilities in this exciting system are endless.

* * * Only five NHL goaltenders have won 25 games and amassed 50 penalty minutes in the same season. They are Billy Smith, Ron Hextall, Ed Belfour, Tom Barrasso and Andy Moog. And for this week: Gordie and Mark Howe become the fourth father-son combination inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, joining Lester and Lynn Patrick, and Oliver and Earl Seibert. Name the other more recent father-son duo.

Jaguars: 13-and-0 From Page 18 Game one was a decent battle throughout before St. Joseph’s finally pushed aside the stubborn Falcons 25-20. However, the Jaguars only got stronger as the match wore on. They had little trouble winning the second match 25-13, and even less in the third. A 25-14 final landed St. Joseph’s the title. “An undefeated season feels pretty good,” jubilant coach Meghan Cahill said with trophy in hand moments after the final serve. “The boys had good digs, good blocks, good sets, good defence ... Everyone came through when it mattered. “To go 13-and-0 is pretty impressive. They battled hard.” The Junior Jaguars now look ahead to the Eastern Ontario high school (EOSSAA) junior boys volleyball championship for single A schools in Iroquois this week.

SENIOR JAGUARS It was a tough way for the UOVHSAA senior boys volleyball season to end for the Jaguars. Winners of all 12 matches, chasing after win No. 13 proved unlucky as St. Joseph’s came up on a short end of a 3-1 decision to the local rival Renfrew Collegiate Raiders. Unfortunately for the Jaguars, their only loss of the season came with the 2011 Renfrew County title on the line. The Jaguars reached the final with a thrilling five-set win over the Mackenzie Mustangs while RCI turned away the Arnprior Redmen in four. The Jaguars – 27-29, 25-18, 2513, 20-25, 15-12 – stared defeat square in the jaws before bringing the crowd to its feet with a startling comeback against Mackenzie. St. Joseph’s trailed 10-4 in the fifth set before notch-

ing 11 of the next 13 points to pull out the victory. St. Joseph’s opened the championship match with a 25-23 victory over RCI. But the Raiders answered with 25-12 and 25-23 wins. RCI then broke out to a 10-0 lead en route to a 25-16 triumph in what proved to be the final set. Coach Trent Skelhorn had no complaints about the efforts put forth by the Jaguars. “They battled so hard,” he said. “The boys dug a deep hole, but kept on battling. They left it all out on the floor. 12-and-1 is still a great season.” Not known then, the Jaguars qualified for the EOSSAA championship for A schools today in Deep River. Also, the St. Joseph’s junior girls joined Renfrew County representative Opeongo Wildcats at EOSSAA yesterday. The basketball tournament was hosted by the Jaguars.

The Renfrew Mercury - November 17, 2011

Raiders: Senior volleyball champs From Page 18 The Jaguars won the opener 25-23, and the Raiders the second set 25-12. Other than a 2-1 lead, the Raiders were always playing catch-up in the third set. They twice pulled even with the Jaguars at 13-13 and 18-18, only to see St. Joseph’s go out in front again. But at 23-apiece, it was RCI who pulled the trigger for the next vital point, and shortly thereafter, put the set away at 25-23. The Raiders jumped out of the blocks to net the first 10 points of the fourth set. Even a St. Joseph’s time out at 5-0 couldn’t quell the momentum. The Jaguars battled back somewhat in the latter stages of the match, but the deficit was too much to overcome. The Raiders bagged the last two points to make it a 25-16 final.

“The boys have been working all year to get to this point,” RCI coach Darren Matthews said. “We put it all together today, and played the way we knew we can.” The Raiders will test uncharted waters this week as they compete in the Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) junior boys volleyball championship as an A school for the first time. EOSSAA takes place today in Deep River at Mackenzie High School. GIRLS BASKETBALL Raiders coach Adam Noack called it a senior girls basketball final to remember. “We threw everything but the kitchen sink at them. We just came up short,” the coach said following RCI’s 36-31 setback to Arnprior in the Renfrew County final last

Thursday afternoon. The Raiders had a 1615 lead at halftime on the shoulders of Erika Jenkins’s first career threepointer and a Gaelyn Turcotte buzzer beater. But the Redmen went on a 9-1 run to open the third quarter and held an 11point lead with less than five minutes remaining. The Raiders fought back to within two points with 30 seconds left before the Redmen struck from the free throw line to seal the verdict. “It was an unbelievable effort put forth by all team members,” coach Noack said. The Raiders advanced to EOSSAA for A schools yesterday and today in Almonte. They are the No. 5 seed, taking on the North Grenville Knights and CharLan Crusaders in their opening contests.

Atom Wolves edged in final PETER CLARK

peter.clark@metroland.com

It was a great weekend for the Renfrew Atom Timberwolves, and a heartbreaking one at the same time. The Atom Wolves reeled off five consecutive wins at the Regional Silver Stick hockey championship in Pembroke over three days, only to suffer a narrow 3-2 setback to the Stirling Blues in the final Sunday afternoon. The Wolves edged the North Dundas Demons 2-1, downed the RWC Crusaders 4-1 and blanked the South Grenville Rangers 7-0 in division play. Renfrew topped the Ennismore Eagles 4-1 in the quarter-final, and turned back the Ottawa Sting in the semi-final 3-1.

Thomas Barber had five goals in the tournament for Renfrew. Carter Sammon and Simon Rose added three, while Tyler Blackburn, Tanton Landriault, Matthew Finan and Crawford Leavoy all chipped in with two. Justin Schutt, Andrew MacAskill and Colby Bleeks added singles. Finan and Leavoy assisted on both Barber and Rose markers in the final. Jacob Miller and Tyson Johnston shared Atom Wolves’ netminding duties. The Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre is home to midget house hockey tournament action this Saturday. Renfrew opens the eight-team event with a game at 8:30 a.m. For more rep and house minor hockey results from the past week, go to yourottawaregion.com.

Sarah Leighton went to the world powerlifting championships in the Czech Republic looking to proudly represent her country. She did, but with a more disappointing result than expected last Thursday. Leighton, and lifters from Denmark and Finland, failed to register a lift in one of their three lift categories. This resulted in a zero total in the 72-kilogram class. If Leighton had lifted around her personal best for her total lift, from the squat, bench press and deadlift, she would have placed sixth or seventh in the field of 11. But Leighton had trouble off the start, in the squat, in the city of Pilsen. Judges didn’t give the green light for any of her three attempts at 102.5 kilograms. However, she was allowed

It was Leighton’s firstever overseas competition. The winner was Priscilla Ribic of the United States with a total lift of 620 kilograms, compliments of a 235-kg. squat, a 145-kg. bench press, and 240 kilograms in the deadlift. Her deadlift results vaulted the American from third to first in the competition. Top-ranked Yula Medvedeva of Russia emerged second at 605. Third place went to Ana Castellain of Brazil with total poundage of 582.5.

The Renfrew Mercury - November 17, 2011

Wolves bounce back PETER CLARK

peter.clark@metroland.com

The Renfrew Timberwolves broke their nine-game losing skid in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League with a 4-2 win over the Ottawa Junior Canadians at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre Friday night, and although they couldn’t follow it up with a victory Sunday evening, a 5-5 deadlock with the Almonte Thunder wasn’t the worst result. The Pontiac Juniors and Stittsville Royals were both kind enough to each lose twice over the weekend. While still in last place, the 5-11and-1 Wolves trail the above noted two teams by just a single point in the Valley Division standings. WOLVES 4, OTTAWA 2 Scott Conroy broke a 2-2 deadlock when he solved Canadians netminder Dominic Plaschy for his goal second of the night 1:53 into the third period. The Wolves got some welcomed insurance when, parked off the lip of the goalcrease on a Renfrew powerplay, Kurtis Leclaire tucked the puck into the open side of the cage with 2:13 left. Jesse Riopelle had a first-period marker for the Wolves. Troy Gauthier’s best stop may have been a glove stab of a Sebastien Dubus snapshot late in the opening stanza. Gauthier was solid throughout in the Renfrew goalcrease. But the Wolves gave him a fighting chance, limiting the Canadians to 21 shots in possibly Renfrew’s best defensive effort of the season. The Wolves had 34 shots.

Luke Lapierre had a hat trick to pace the Wolves. Jared Riopelle and newcomer Jordan Dempster counted singles. MacCosham had two goals and two assists to lead the Thunder. For more on the game, see yourottawaregion.com. The Wolves are in Perth Friday night at 7:45 p.m. The Gatineau Mustangs pay their annual visit to the MAC Sunday at 7 p.m.

Wrestling, curling and ringette notes • The Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club sent 18 senior wrestlers north to participate in the Sudbury Early Invitational. The RAWC came home with 12 medals. Brandon McDonald, Nathaniel Smith, Sarah Malatesta, Samantha Smith, Taylor Mayotte, Molly McFarlane and Jake Cartman earned gold.

team came up with two big wins against visiting Gloucester/ Cumberland over the weekend. Mallory Delarge allowed only one goal against in the 8-1 and 70 victories. For more on UOV ringette, some curling history in Behind The Glass, and the RAWC’s performance in Sudbury, go to yourottawaregion.com.

NOTICE TOWN OF RENFREW NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND PUBLIC MEETING

The Municipal Administration Office Will Be Closed Wednesday, November 23rd & Thursday November 24th, 2011 to Enable Staff to Attend an extensive training session for the updated tax program. Thank you for your patience and co-operation. Office will reopen on Friday November 25th at 8:00am The Municipal Roads and Operations Department will remain open. R0011184921

In the matter of Section 34 of the Planning Act, the Town of Renfrew hereby gives NOTICE OF THE FOLLOWING: A public meeting regarding an application to amend the Town of Renfrew Zoning By-law 46-2010. Subject Lands

Concession 3, Part of Lots 10 and 11, as shown on the attached Key Map.

Public Meeting

A public meeting to inform the public of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment will be held on Monday, December 12th, 2011 at 7 p.m. in the Town of Renfrew Council Chambers, 127 Raglan Street South, Renfrew.

Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment The purpose of the proposed zoning by-law amendment is to rezone the subject lands from Residential One-holding (R1-h) to a Residential One Exception Zone and to a Residential Two Exception Zone. The subject lands are described as Phase 3 of the Hunter Gate subdivision. The effect of the proposed zoning by-law amendment is: i)

To rezone a portion of the lands to a Residential One Exception Twenty-three – holding, (R1-23-h) to permit 26 single detached dwelling units within Phase 3 of the Hunter’s Gate subdivision. ii) To rezone to a portion of the lands to Residential Two Exception Nine - holding to permit 37 townhouse units within Phase 3 of the Hunter’s Gate subdivision. iii) To zone the proposed block for the permanent stormwater management plan to Environmental Protection (EP). The owner also proposes a minor change to the draft plan of subdivision which received draft plan approval from the County of Renfrew, most recently, in September 2009. Additional information regarding the proposed amendment are available for public inspection at the Town Hall during regular ofﬁce hours between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm., Monday to Friday, from the Development & Works Department, 2nd Floor, Town Hall, 127 Raglan Street South.

WOLVES 5, ALMONTE 5 Both teams left the rink muttering, “How did we not win this game?” The Wolves worked to gain the valuable point, overcoming deficits of 1-0 in the first period, 3-1 in the second, and 5-3 in the third. The overtime was one of the most exciting five-minute regular-season extra-time sessions you’ll see. The shots were 8-5 Almonte, and that doesn’t include a goalpost the Wolves hit in the dying seconds off a 3-on-1 break. A Thunder defender then scooped up the rebound, and spotted a teammate with a stretch pass. Drake Clancy went in alone, but couldn’t beat Troy Gauthier, who earned the start after his performance against Ottawa two nights before. That was one of at least four breakaway stops Gauthier made, including a penalty shot off Almonte captain Aaron MacCosham in the opening period. Both goaltenders were scintillating for a 5-5 game. Almonte’s Chad Hetherington faced 45 shots and Gauthier 39.

• A social, informational and registration evening for membership and interested members will be held at the Renfrew Curling Club on Monday, Nov. 21 at 7 p.m. And don’t miss the bake sale and jewelry party at the curling rink Sunday at 2 p.m. • The Upper Ottawa Valley Ringette Association under-9

If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Town of Renfrew before the by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Town of Renfrew, to the Ontario Municipal Board. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting, or make written submissions to the Town of Renfrew before the by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so. NOTE: One of the purposes of the Planning Act is to provide for planning processes that are open, accessible, timely and efﬁcient. Accordingly, all written submissions, documents, correspondence, e-mails or other communications (including your name and address) form part of the public record and will be disclosed/made available by the /local Municipality to such persons as the local Municipality sees ﬁt, including anyone requesting such information. Accordingly, in providing such information, you shall be deemed to have consented to its use and disclosure as part of the planning process. Dated at the Town of Renfrew this 14th day of November, 2011. Julie Stewart, MCIP, RPP Town Planner

REPORT SAYS LOCAL YOUTH “APATHETIC”: Youth in Renfrew are apathetic. This is one of the main findings in a report on youth carried out as a summer project in Renfrew. Sponsored by the Ontario Department of Education, recreation branch, the project was carried out by two local youths, Eugene Sheahan and Colleen Sheahan. The report gave a breakdown of the teenage youth in Renfrew, showing 378 between the ages of 11 and 12, 427 in the 12 to 14 bracket and 207 at 15 years of age. The 16 year old group numbered 206 while the 17,18,19, and 20 year groups numbered 199, 203, 202 and 174, respectively.

Well, the clocks have been turned back, so we should all be rested up for the busy season that is ahead! Here at Seniors’ Home Support we have been busy in many of our programs. This month’s column is all about our frozen meals and grocery programs. With Frozen meals we work cooperatively with Carefor and the Renfrew Victoria Hospital to provide 25 different nutritious frozen meals that are easy to reheat. This service will benefit people who require help with meals as they recover from illness or injury; are unable to prepare nutritious meals due to frailty, disability, or inexperience; or have special dietary needs. Meals cost $5 each and you can contact our office for more information on the menu available, or to order meals. Our grocery program is in cooperation with the Renfrew Metro grocery store. We offer assistance to people living in the town of Renfrew who are unable to do their grocery shopping personally. Please call our office for information on this program and its eligibility requirements. Seniors’ Home Support will be having a table at the RCAF Wing Craft Sale on Friday, Nov. 18 and Saturday, Nov. 19. We will be selling raffle tickets, calendars, cookbooks, and Keough books. The raffle prizes are: first prize, a $250 gas card; second prize, a $150 gas card; and third prize, a gift basket valued at $125. Buy your ticket and have a chance to win one of these great prizes. Join us Thursday, Dec. 8 at 12 noon at the RCAF Wing for our Hot Turkey Christmas Luncheon with music by Barry Martin and Country Favourites. Advance tickets, which are available at Aikenhead’s Drug Store or the Home Support office, are $10 per person and need to be purchased before Dec. 5.

NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND HEARING FOR AN ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION RATE CHANGE Renfrew Hydro Inc. Renfrew Hydro Inc. (“Renfrew”) has applied to the Ontario Energy Board (the “Board”) for permission to change its delivery charges beginning May 1, 2012. The application was filed on October 17, 2011 under section 78 of the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998, S.O. 1998, c.15 (Schedule B), under the Board’s guidelines for 3rd Generation Incentive Regulation Mechanism which provides for a mechanistic and formulaic adjustment to distribution rates between cost of service applications. Renfrew’s application also includes a request to recover the impact of lost revenues associated with various conservation initiatives and the disposition of account 1562. Delivery charges are one of four regular items on Residential and General Service customers’ electric bills and vary depending on the amount of electricity consumed. If the application is fully approved, the monthly bill for a Residential customer who consumes 800 kWh per month would decrease by about $4.56. The monthly bill for a General Service customer consuming 2,000 kWh per month and having a monthly demand of less than 50 kW would increase by about $2.99. The proposed changes to the Delivery charges are separate from other potential changes to the electricity bills.

The Renfrew Mercury - November 17, 2011

Ottawa Valley well represented at fair ALASTAIR BAIRD County of Renfrew

The County of Renfrew was very proud to sponsor the 2011 Wood Solutions Fair in Ottawa Nov. 2. Presented by Ontario WoodWORKS!, the trade show and symposium attracted over 500 residential/ commercial building architects, engineers and designers from across Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec. The county’s sponsorship afforded an opportunity to host a large booth area that showcased to the attendees that they could easily source the products needed to build and outfit a home or building, from floor to roof,

using wood or wood products from across the upper Ottawa Valley. Seven industry colleagues accompanied the County of Renfrew representatives for the day and presented their wares to the audience. The participants were Algonquin Timber Frames, Eastern Ontario Model Forest, McCann Forest Products, Madawaska Doors, Murray Bros. Lumber Company, Schwan’s Cedar Products and Herb Shaw & Sons Lumber Company. County of Renfrew business development officer Craig Kelley was very pleased with the outcome of the sponsorship. “Forestry, and all of the value added components that go along

with our wood industry, remains the backbone of our economy and our heritage. It is extremely important that we stress to the consumer to be very conscious of from where and from whom they are buying their wood and wood products in order to create a strong local wood-based economy.” Mark Richardson, General Manager of the Eastern Ontario Model Forest, was also pleased with the result. “It was a great opportunity to showcase just what the forest industry in Renfrew County is capable of. Fostering strong markets for the wide diversity of forest products coming from our woods is paramount to

ensuring economic sustainability of the industry and the social well-being of the many families and businesses that depend on Renfrew’s forest sector.” Ontario WoodWORKS! is an industry-led initiative of the Canadian Wood Council, with the goal to promote the use of wood and wood products in innovative construction projects and to acknowledge the contribution of wood-use advocates. This was the County of Renfrew’s first time in attendance at a Wood Solutions Fair. It is expected that consideration will be given for similar or added exposure at similar shows in 2012.

County of Renfrew participated and was a sponsor of the recent Ottawa Wood Solutions Fair. From left are, Craig Kelley (County of Renfrew), Stuart Peddle (Madawaska Doors), Mark Richardson (Eastern Ontario Model Forest), Paul Lawson (Shaw Lumber), John MacDonald (Algonquin Timber Frame), Tom McCann (McCann Forest Products), Tim Schwan (Schwan’s Cedar Products), Alastair Baird (County of Renfrew) and Steve McDonald (Shaw Lumber).

CHRISTMAS IN NOVEMBER Wendy Mosgrove, a Renfrew resident who runs Wendy Mosgrove Photography, displays some of her work during the Christmas in November show at the Renfrew Recreation Centre. The Nov. 5 show was organized by Koula Cove through her company, Healing in the Valley. Several vendors displayed products related to healing and wellness, including nutritional products. Others showed the ‘craftier’ side of Christmas, with products that ranged from ties to one-of-a-kind ornaments by Sylvie Hanes. At right, Julie Larocque of Eganville (with the poppy) finds a hand-knitted toque made by Cathy Lyons of Bunny Warmers in Golden Lake. Mercury photos by Steve Newman

Recently, The Ottawa Hospital Foundation recognized its top fundraisers in Septemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ride the Rideau, fuelled by Nordion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a 100-kilometre Ottawa to Merrickville bike tour in support of research at The Ottawa Hospital â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for their outstanding contributions and to show them the impact of their fundraising. The event, which raised $2.7 million in just two years, has quickly grown to become the top cancer fundraiser in eastern Ontario. This year, more than 715 riders â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from Starbucks baristas to CEOs of major corporations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; took part in the event. The top fundraising team for the second year was the Brick Peddlers, led by event champion Robert Merkley of Merkley Supply Inc. Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s construction and homebuilding industry has embraced the event â&#x20AC;&#x201C; other teams recognized included ones from the Ottawa Construction Association, Minto, Boone Plumbing and Heating Supply, and PCL, among others. Individual riders who raised $10,000 or more were also inducted into the Peloton Club at the event. The top fundraiser was Mike Caletti, who raised $68,988. Other members included Dr. Joel Werier, Mike Bray, Greg Capello, Claude Des Rosiers, Roger Greenberg, David Herlihey, Greg Kane, Neil Maholtra, Brock Marshall, Robert Merkley, and Charles Armand Turpin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The overwhelming support that we have received from some of the biggest names in the Ottawa business community shows how crucial cancer research is,â&#x20AC;? said Tim Kluke, President and

CEO of The Ottawa Hospital Foundation. CEO of title sponsor Nordion Steve West, who also took part in the ride, said as a company, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nordion is extremely proud to support Ride the Rideau as it continues to contribute to cancer research that will beneďŹ t patients in the Ottawa region, and around the world.â&#x20AC;? Funds raised from this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event are supporting a number of related cancer research initiatives, including clinical trials and the development of novel targeted therapies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each cancer, like each patient, is different,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Duncan Stewart, CEO and ScientiďŹ c Director of the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute and a Ride the Rideau participant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By developing personalized therapies that are tailored for each patient, we will be able to give people treatments that are more likely to work from the very beginning.â&#x20AC;? Registration for Ride the Rideau 2012 has opened. To learn more about and sign up for the event, to be held Saturday, September 8, 2012, visit www.ridetherideau.ca.

Eva Olsson is no stranger to Renfrew. The Hungarian native and Canadian citizen has spoken here several times, to school and church audiences, about her family’s virtual annihilation by the Germans during the Holocaust of the Second World War. But her message about Nazi atrocities, and how she overcame several of them, was heard for the first time by most members of the audience at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School last Wednesday. Her message received a very emotional response. Many students offered Olsson hugs afterwards. Many called it inspiring, moving, touching. Grade 5 student Colton Charbonneau described her talk as awesome and amazing while reminding students of the importance of respect, care, hope, spirit and love in their lives. Several cried, including principal Jeannie Armstrong, as student Andrew McAskill presented the 87-year-old speaker with a bouquet of yellow roses, symbolic of the theme of friendship that Olsson spoke about in simple, yet passionate, terms. A member of the Order of Canada, the Bracebridge, Ont., resident lost every member of her family, except one sister, in German concentration camps. Several years later, tragedy continued when her husband of 19 years died of injuries sustained in an accident caused by a drunk driver. She raised her young son alone. But she came to speak at Our Lady of Fatima School, not about how bad the world is, but about how bullying results in bad human behaviour. She also said hate allowed German atrocities to happen before and during the Second World War, and that hate allows unacceptable behaviour to persist in today’s society. After asking how many children in the school gymnasium used the ‘hate’ word every day, most held up their hands. Asking how many had been bullied, most held up their hands.

She then asked the students to take action when bullying occurs, because unreported bullying allows the bully to win. “You need to help each other,” she said, stressing the importance of not being a bystander and the need to report bullies’ actions. She asked the same students to replace the ‘hate’ word with something more appropriate. “Never, ever, ever; never is a child born racist,” she stressed. “Racism is a learned attitude.” “It was touching,” said Grade 6 student Emily Burton. “I was surprised by the presentation. I use the word ‘hate’ a lot, but I might not say it for a long time.” A total of 1.5 million children were killed in German concentration camps, said Olsson, because so many people carried “hate in their hearts.” During the same talk, some slides projected on the screen were immensely graphic. They included one of a German soldier about to shoot a man in the head before he was buried in a mass grave. Another slide showed a British soldier bulldozing bodies of Jews, who had been killed by the Nazis, into a mass grave after the war had ended. “Every one of those faces had a loved one,” she said after showing one of the graphic slides. But our hearts and minds can do better, she said. Therefore, Olsson advised the students in the audience to take responsibility for their own actions. “That’s what you have to do, to treat each other like brothers and sisters.” That way “you’ll find peace on the playgrounds and in your soul,” said Olsson. Principal Armstrong, who was visibly touched by the talk, called Olsson a symbol of hope. “Your spirit and wisdom has planted a seed today. I know it will produce blooms of peace, knowledge, respect, caring, compassion, faith, love and hope.” For 50 years, she said little about her Holocaust experiences. But in 1996 Olsson began speaking out. She now gives about 170 talks per year.

Education

On Thursday, Nov. 9, St. Joseph’s Catholic High School had the privilege to welcome back to our school Dr. Eva Olsson, a worldwide known author and lecturer. Dr. Olsson presented a powerful story of a terrible time of sadness and pain caused by hatred and cultural oppression during the Second World War. Dr. Eva Olsson is a holocaust survivor who was forced out of her home in Hungary at the age of nineteen and taken to live in the repressive and cruel conditions of a concentration camp. She was told that she was going to work in a brick factory and was taken by boxcar to Auschwitz – Birkenau, Germany. She shared the boxcar for the four-day trip with over 100 other people. They only had one bucket of water to drink, and one bucket of food to share between them all. They arrived to black smoke and soldiers everywhere, and soon discovered that their lives were about to change forever. Many would not survive, including 87 members of her own extended family. Dr. Olsson spoke of the many difficulties that she had to overcome to survive. Throughout this experience she was separated from most of her family and was forced to work as a slave. She was moved around a lot, and at one point, even had to live in a root cellar underneath a burnt-down kitchen with many

VICTORIA SLIGHT JAGUAR JOURNAL other women. When the German’s knew that they were close to defeat, they took away their food rations for six days, but on April 15, 1945 at 11 a.m. the British Army came and saved those who remained. Dr. Olsson stated that the one thing that helped her survive was “hope.” Dr. Olssen has travelled extensively throughout Canada and the United States and lectured at schools and churches telling her story, and delivering a message of hope. She advised that when she leaves a school, it is her goal that she leaves behind hope, that one day there will come an end to the intolerance of differences between people, and to bullying of all kinds. Her message to everyone is that we must stand up to intolerance and hatred, and know that even one person can make a difference. On behalf of St. Joseph’s Catholic High School, I would like to thank Dr. Olsson for giving us the opportunity to listen to her story of the struggles she has endured, and the message of hope she passed along again.

Dear Angels, If roses grow in Heaven, Please pick a bunch for me. Place them in my mother’s arms And tell her they’re from me. Tell her that I love and miss her And when she turns to smile, Place a kiss upon her cheek And hold her for awhile. Remembering her is easy, I do it every day; But there is an ache within my heart That will never go away.

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, You are always by our side. Our family chain is broken And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again. Love, forever and always Mom, Don, Judy, Sharron, Mark, Eva and families

To a good life came a peaceful end, She died as she lived, everyone’s friend. Upright and just in all her ways, Loving and kind to the end of her days. We saw her suffer, heard her sigh. We could do nothing but sit close by. We have lost, but Heaven has gained, One of the best the world contained.

Cancer will attack over 173,000 of us this year. It does not discriminate. It has taken our brothers and sisters, our mothers and fathers, our children and our friends. Cancer is relentless. But so are we. We are the Canadian Cancer Society and we are fighting back. We have more impact against more cancers in more communities than any other cancer charity in Canada, yet there is still so much more we need to do. Cancer threatens us all. But we reject cancer’s attempts to strike the lives of so many Canadians. That’s why we promise to do everything we can to prevent cancer. We promise to

lives.

And

living with this disease. We fight back

by funding clinical trials and research into better treatments and cures. We educate and advocate. And we encourage Canadians to volunteer and donate. To some, the daffodil is just a flower. To us, it is a symbol of strength and courage, a symbol of life. It says we will not give up. It says we will fight back. It says we will beat cancer.
