It was the second visit to the area

by Ontario’s agriculture minister in as many summers, but it was a different person this time.

A year ago, Minister Ted McMeekin came to hear about droughtridden farmers’ economic needs. Last week, Kathleen Wynne, who was elected the province’s first female premier in January 2013, bore the title of agriculture minister while visiting farms around Rankin, Foresters Falls, Pakenham, Carleton Place and Perth. “It’s a bit unusual in the last decades, but it has happened before,� said Wynne, who’s serving as both premier and agriculture minister.

Her one-day blitz Aug. 6 began at Wade Schroeder’s beef farm on BLine Road near Rankin, where she hosted an in-camera roundtable with regional agricultural representatives for about 90 minutes.

The next stop was FEPRO Farms, where she spent about an hour talking to Klaesi family members Paul, Elias and Michael and visiting different components of their farm on Government Road, just outside Foresters Falls.

Next the premier was off to Hudson’s Produce near Pakenham, which specializes in pork production and market gardening; Canadian Co-op-

erative Wool Growers in Carleton Place; and the egg-producing Campbell family farm near Perth. “To me, it is such a privilege to learn more about this important industry,� said Wynne while at FEPRO Farms, which does robotic milking of 150 cows and runs a biodigestion system that’s linked to Ontario’s hydro grid. “It’s a $34-billion contribution to the GDP of the province,� said Wynne of the agriculture industry. “Today, I’ve (already) talked to people who have identified two areas where we can grow, with maple syrup and hemp. And then here (at FEPRO) there’s the whole issue of biodigestion and creating energy to make farms energy self-sufficient.�

As one of FEPRO Farm’s owners, Paul Klaesi said the tour was a chance to display some of the high-tech aspects of their farm and tell the premier that the ground rules for operating biodigestion systems need fixing. “We hope capital is not that important anymore, but rather production (from biodigestion),� said Klaesi. “We want to see fewer restrictions and easier connection to the grid, and a price for power that makes it worthwhile for the farmer to build the system.�

There’s also room for more improvement regarding milk imports, STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND Wynne heard from Osceola farmer Silos serve as a backdrop as Premier and Agriculture Minister Kathleen Don Russell.

I think the people have sent us a clear message, that they want more accountability, that they believe we made mistakes, and they want us to do better. And Ontarians have a right to expect better. I want to have the most open and transparent government in the country, and that’s what I’m working on.

Continued from front

A few years ago Don Russell and wife Joanne were named the outstanding young farmers of Canada.

What’s not outstanding is the amount of imported milk reaching Ontario, Russell told the premier. Russell said he’s concerned about the rising amounts of imported milk as well as the lack of quality-control measures, especially since quality controls are higher for Ontario milk farmers.

“We don’t mind putting (those quality controls) into place, but when they’re importing this product into Canada, consumers don’t know what they’re buying. And imports have been drastically increasing. In 1988 there were 100,000 kilograms of milk coming into Ontario; now there’s 396 million (per year).”

Wynne said that was one of the key messages she heard at the roundtable.

“Every time I have these conversations, I hear about an area where there’s more work to be done, for example, the whole issue around importing of milk,” said Wynne.

“We have a supply-management system in Ontario. There’s a real concern about importing milk into the province, and I need to get a better understanding of that with the federal minister of agriculture.”

There were more than a dozen roundtable attendees, including Ontario Federation of Agriculture president Mark Wales of Elgin County as well as such Renfrew County residents as hemp producer Reuben Stone, maple syrup producer Ray Bonenberg, Ian McGregor of McGregor’s Produce, cattleman Gerald Rollins and Jennifer Doelman of Barclay Dick & Son Farm Supply. Doelman stressed the need to maintain the risk management and production insurance programs for farmers.

Premier’s visit

Other roundtable opinions included the request for more research before making any potentially drastic decisions to deal with the collapse of bee colonization.

The one-day tour may also have had something to do with results in Ontario’s five recent by-elections.

Wynne acknowledged the Liberals have work to do, after winning two of the ridings, as two went to the New Democratic Party and one to the Conservatives.

“I think the people have sent us a clear message, that they want more accountability, that they believe we made mistakes, and they want us to do better,” said Wynne.

“And Ontarians have a right to expect better.

“When I came into this office as premier, I said I was going to open up government, that I was going to create opportunities for questions to be asked (and) answered, particularly about the gas-pipeline locations.

“I want to have the most open and transparent government in the country, and that’s what I’m working on. I think the by-elections confirmed that that’s the direction we need to go in.”

One of several dozen agricultural representatives taking the day-long tour was Horton resident Bob Johnston, president of OFA’s Renfrew County chapter.

Johnston remembers several agriculture ministers visiting the area over the years, but never the premier.

“I think it was a good thing for the farming system in eastern Ontario. She touched different types of farming,” said Johnston.

“Hopefully, this visit will do something for farmers of eastern Ontario and the rest of the province.”

Following the premier’s visit, Paul Klaesi of FEPRO Farms expressed similar sentiments.

“I think she was very willing to listen,” he said, “and I trust that we can see some results down the road in some shape or form.”

Multi-million-dollar opportunity for Renfrew native steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Planes, trains, trucks and automobiles don’t get very far without fossil fuels. But if Thane Heins has his way, all those vehicles will continue to travel great distances, but without gas and with new technology developed by the Renfrew native.

Heins says he is forming a partnership with a Turkish company to form a spin-off company called Poetry In Motion, for the commercialization of Heins’ own company, Potential Difference Inc. If contract milestones are realized, Heins says his company stands to make $12.5 million.

The plan is for Poetry In Motion to commercialize PDI technology for electric vehicles, wind turbines, hydro-electric generation, and other motors, generators and transformers.

PDI, the company Heins founded in 2005, is the driving force behind creating a technology that could affect the world as the advent of the telephone did more than 100 years ago.

A proud Renfrewite who has lived in Almonte the last several years, Heins says he wants to tell his home community about his budding success. Many Renfrew residents know Heins as a chef, the former owner of the Old Towne Hall Restaurant or a candidate in provincial and federal elections.

Heins signed a contract with a Turkish company, which wishes to remain anonymous for now, while working to develop prototypes Heins expects will be able to run 450, if not 900 or more, kilometres on Heins’ regenerative acceleration generator (Re-GenX) Technology.

If this technology is successful in normal-sized cars and trucks. Heins says his life will change dramatically. “I’m going to go from a guy who hasn’t had a pay cheque since 1999 to a freakin’ multi-millionaire, assuming the technology works in their car,� says Heins of the Turkish company. “The onus is now on me to make sure it works. I’ve entered into an agreement on promises that we can make it work.�

One of the first milestones of the contract is to deliver a working prototype within six months. A prototype has already been developed in a scooter, but it has only 1/30th of the kilowatt power of a car. “It shouldn’t be an issue,� says Heins.

To date, Heins says his wife Kim Cunningham has invested more than $200,000 in the project, while other investors have provided about $400,000 in support in kind.

Re-Gen-X Technology, says Heins, now allows electric vehicles to partially recharge their batteries as they drive without the decelerative effects associated with regenerative braking.

The exact final magnitude of recharge capability has not yet been determined, but he says 76 per cent recharge capacity has already been established.

His research in the field of flywheel energy storage was done in collaboration with Dr. Paul Allaire at the University of Virginia’s Rotating Machines and Controls Laboratory. After a successful demonstration at the renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the research continued at a University of Ottawa satellite lab in 2008. PDI’s

technologies were further developed and refined under the supervision of Dr. Riadh Habash in the University of Ottawa power lab in 2008, 2009 and 2010.

The technology, if it becomes a mainstay in the car and truck industry, will mean the end of fossil fuels as a major energy source for cars and trucks, and maybe trains and planes too.

At the same time, Heins says fossil fuels definitely have a place in the modern world, as he points to the many products made by fossil fuel, among them asphalt, shingles, plastic products, golf balls and fertilizer. “The worst thing we can do is burn it,� he stresses. “And our technology will change the energy industry quickly, allowing vehicles to recharge as they drive.�

The problem with electric vehicles now on the market, says Heins, is that they travel

The goal of Potential Difference Inc. is to use Re-Gen-X technology to give this 1930 Ford Model A infinite mileage range without gas. The vehicle’s owner is Don McMillan, left, of Pakenham. PDI’s founder is Renfrew native Thane Heins, at right, who says the newly-converted electrical vehicle will be renamed as a Ford Model Eh. too short a distance, maybe 100 kilometres, before requiring six or seven hours to recharge.

Electric cars now on the market rely on a rechargeable

The plan is for the Re-GenX motors to be manufactured in Almonte, and other locations, and for the electric vehicles to be built in Turkey.

Opeongo Road in Admaston-Bromley among newly-funded projects Peter Clark, Steve Newman peter.clark@metroland.com

News - Admaston-Bromley is among municipalities benefitting from Friday’s announcement that the Ontario government will invest more than $11 million in infrastructure improvements for Eastern Ontario rural communities. The announcement in Casselman, Ont., cited 11 projects, including three in Renfrew County.

One is the resurfacing and widening of Opeongo Road in AdmastonBromley. The others are resurfacing and widening of portions of Petawawa Boulevard in Petawawa, and reconstruction of Landrigan Street that includes relining of the sanitary sewers in Arnprior; These improvements are coming through the Municipal Infrastructure Strategy, which is providing nearly $90 million over the next three years to help municipalities across the province build and maintain key infrastructure.

“Rural Ontario has unique and diverse infrastructure needs,” said On-

tario Minister of Rural Affairs Jeff Leal.

“By collaborating and consulting with our local and regional partners, we are providing communities with revitalized critical infrastructure that will create jobs, grow local businesses and keep communities moving.”

“We have the property to widen the road, but we didn’t have the funding.

We’ll be receiving $200,000 plus,” said Admaston-Bromley Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe. “This is muchneeded. Opeongo Road is our busiest road, and is a link from Renfrew to Highway 132.”

Paved shoulders with a pedestriancycle lane will allow people to walk or cycle the route more safely, she added.

The mayor said the township will set up its business plan and take tenders on the 2.4-kilometre stretch of roadway in the fall of this year, with construction to be done in the spring of 2014. “We hope to get a lot of construction companies interested in this project,” Mayor Briscoe said.

The other newly-funded projects

are: • replacing a culvert on Nine Mile Road to allow for a two-lane crossing and school/ agricultural vehicle crossings in South Dundas Township; • renovations to pavement and drainage on County Road 19 in the United Counties of Stormont, Dun-

das and Glengarry; • replacing single-lane French Line Bridge with a two-lane bridge in Lanark Highlands Township; • replacing the Mississippi River Bridge with a new bridge to allow for heavy trucks in Lanark County; • rehabilitating 9th Line to replace culverts and improve drainage in

Beckwith Township; • resurfacing and rehabilitating Wiltse Bridge in Rideau Lakes Township; • rehabilitating Gananoque Bridge in the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville; and • replacing Steenburg Lake North Road Bridge in Limerick Township.

Least fatalities in years on long weekend It was a busy Civic Holiday long weekend for the Ontario Provincial Police, which stepped up enforcement across the province on roads, waterways and trails.

On the roads, the OPP was counting on motorists to comply with the Move Over Law while also looking for aggressive drivers, impaired drivers, those in violations of seat belt laws, and motorists who drove while distracted.

Over the weekend, the OPP reported one fatality on the roads and another fatality in a marine incident.

According to OPP Commissioner Chris Lewis, the 2013 Civic Holiday long weekend had the lowest number of fatalities in areas under OPP jurisdiction in almost 20 years.

“I believe the public did an excellent job co-operating with our officers to keep the long weekend safe

for everyone,” said Lewis.

“I am extremely pleased to see the Civic Holiday long weekend end with the lowest fatality rate since 1995 and I encourage drivers, boaters and trail users to keep this positive trend up so that we can have one of the lowest fatality rates on record for the entire year.”

Despite the low fatality rate, the OPP laid numerous charges for various offences over the weekend.

These included 290 charges for not obeying the Move Over Law, 6,052 charges for speeding, 83 street racing charges, 375 seat belt charges, 96 charges for driving while impaired by drugs or having a blood alcohol content (BAC) above .08, and 233 distracted driving charges.

The OPP also issued 91 roadside licence suspensions to drivers with a BAC in the warn range of .05 to .08.

Happy times at Renfrew County Catholic School Board’s summer school Victoria Slight

Community - Summer school provides an excellent opportunity to keep your child active in learning during the summer months through a much smaller and more interactive learning experience than the regular school environmentt.

In 2013, summer school for the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board, in the Renfrew area, was hosted at St. Joseph’s High School and ran from July 2 to 25.

Throughout the month, students from senior kindergarten to Grade 6 participated in many learning activities, including those led by Shallan

Dament from the Pembroke Boys and Girls Club who taught teamwork and co-operation, as well as encouraging physical education.

July 22, Ms. Danielle Fluery’s Grade 1 class went on a nature walk along the Millennium Trail.

This was a very educational walk, as it taught the importance of team-

work and co-operation as the students walked together in a group and introduced the children to environmental studies as they learned about the different elements of nature along the way.

Following the walk, the class worked on several writing exercise, including developing a list and then

writing sentences about the different elements of nature they had encountered — what they had seen, heard, touched, and smelled, including trees, birds, flowers, and bugs.

Overall, this was a very exciting and educational outing for the Grade 1 students!

French-fry stands targetted by thiefs OPP seeks help after hit-and-run near Douglas Renfrew OPP

News - Police are investigating a case involving failure to remain at a collision near Douglas and is looking for assistance from the public to locate the suspect.

On Sunday, Aug. 11 at 9:40 p.m., a beige Ford F150 with dual exhaust ran a stop sign at South McNaughton Road and Watties Hill Road and struck another vehicle.

The OPP says the driver of the pickup truck then fled the scene.

The suspect vehicle will have significant damage to the driver’s side.

The vehicle was last seen travelling on Highway 60 towards Kellys Corners.

Const. Hayley Chaplin is investigating.

Anyone with information about this collision is asked to contact her at 613-432-3211.

News - French fry stands were the target of thieves twice last week.

Betty’s Chips in Braeside was broken into overnight Aug. 6, followed by The Fry Shack on Stewart Street in Renfrew overnight on Aug. 7.

Betty’s Chips on River Road was entered when the thief or thieves pried off a screen on a side window between 11:30 p.m. and 4 a.m.

Inside they stole food. Some food was recovered from neighbouring yards the following day.

Const. Hayley Chaplin is continu-

ing to investigate.

Meanwhile, on Aug. 8 about. 7:30 a.m. the owner of The Fry Shack attended and discovered the business had been entered overnight.

The Fry Shack was closed the previous evening at 7:30 p.m..

A rear window was forced open and access was gained through the metal bars on the window.

Once inside, food was removed from both a fridge and freezer, and other items were disturbed.

A knapsack was recovered in a backyard nearby on Raglan Street

North which contained stolen property from the business.

Const. Kyle Mask is continuing to investigate.

ANOTHER THEFT

Another concession stand, The Ice Shack on Madawaska Boulevard in Arnprior, was also broken into last week. Equipment and cash were stolen.

There is a suspect and Const. Colleen McGrath is continuing to investigate.

Walmart Canada looks to raise $3 million for Red Cross Walmart Renfrew’s goal is $5,337

Community - Walmart Canada is gearing up for its annual cross-country campaign to raise crucial funds for Canadian Red Cross disaster response and preparedness activities.

The campaign will run in Walmart stores from Aug. 1 to 25, with an ambitious goal of raising $3 million, of which over $700,000 are matching funds from Walmart.

“The funds raised through the campaign will help ensure that the Canadian Red Cross is ready to respond when disasters strike in our community and communities across the province,” says spokesperson Judy HarmsPotter, volunteer operation lead of the Disaster Management Team.

“We’re very excited to work with Walmart

during this campaign and hope that Walmart customers and the Town of Renfrew community will continue their generous support of the Canadian Red Cross.

“From the floods in western Canada, the train derailment in Quebec and extreme heat alerts in suthern Ontario to the macro-burst in Calabogie last year, Red Cross is there in times of need for Canadians whose lives are disrupted due to disaster.”

At the Walmart checkout, Walmart asso-

ciates will give customers the opportunity to make a donation to support the work of the Canadian Red Cross in the community, Walmart Canada will match these donations up to $2,000 per store.

The Canadian Red Cross is a member of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.

The movement includes the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, the International Committee of the Red Cross and more than 185 national Red Cross and Red Crescent societies.

Canadian Red Cross’s mission is to improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilizing the power of humanity in Canada and around the world.

“It’s been an amazing experience, with the family input, and the teachers and students have just been great,” said Vandersleen. “It’s just been a real family atmosphere, with very academic and hard-working students.”

To help cover the year’s expenses, the school hosted a large indoor yard sale July 26.

Numerous items were for sale, including furniture, a popcorn machine, cooking supplies,

books, sports equipment, dishes, and arts and crafts.

Those attending the school’s closing sale July 27 included Liz Richards.

“I’m a little sad, because my oldest daughter (Claire) went to the pre-school program, and I was hoping my other daughter (Kendel) would go,” she said.

Community - It has been enjoyable while it lasted, says Frank Folkema, whose eight children attended Renfrew and District Christian School.

For him, memories won’t be easily forgotten about the elementary school that opened in Renfrew in 1985, but is now closing because of declining enrolment.

“There was a Christ-centred focus on how God is part of all of life, and not just of Sunday worship,” said Folkema.

“It was very much a family focus. It was a vital part of our community,” added Folkema, who was one of the school’s founding members.

The school’s highest attendance was more than 50 students in the early 2000s, but this last year ended with just 14. In addition to kindergarten, there were separate classes for Grades 1 to 4 and Grades 5 to 8. There was also a pre-school program.

Memories include the participation of principals Jennifer Feenstra, Beth Deacon, Hubert Huyer, Jim Pott, Bonnie Desjardins and Hank Schaly.

Students enjoy booster program Jake Davies RCDSB communications officer

Community - Grade 1 and 2 students in Renfrew County can get a boost in their literacy and numeracy skills thanks to the July Booster Program hosted at several Renfrew County District School Board (RCDSB) schools each year.

For the past 32 years, hundreds of children have improved their reading, writing and math skills. This summer, 197 Grade 1 and 2 students from Renfrew County will graduate from the free weekday morning program.

A dynamic team of innovative and creative RCDSB teachers delivers the literacy and numeracy program in a camp-like atmosphere.

They are all committed to the growth and development of children and implement the latest,

research-based, best practices in teaching and learning. They all bring experience and knowledge of strategies that promote skill development in language and mathematics in the early years.

Students enjoy engaging, motivational and purposeful activities. Booster camps are being hosted at eight RCDSB schools in 2013 to give access to students across the county.

The schools include Central Public School, as well as Cobden and Eganville public schools.

The Booster Program is both fun and educational.

“Students are very excited to come back each day. Their smiles and enthusiasm say it all. We are delighted with the success of the students and the program,” says Booster Program principal Tracey Stevens.

EDITORIAL

Prouder and more tolerant Canada Capital Pride returns to Ottawa starting this weekend. The theme for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival is Be Loud, Be Proud.

This is a message all Canadians can take to heart, to celebrate our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acceptance of all citizens regardless of their race, language, religion or sexual identity. These are basic human rights entrenched in Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Charter, despite lingering opposition from fringe groups.

Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good example is even more noticeable when compared with our international counterparts.

Russia, for instance, has drawn criticism from across the globe for a law that bans gay pride rallies and forbids even discussing homosexuality with youth.

The Russian sport minister pledged to hold athletes attending the 2014 Sochi Olympics accountable if they went out on the streets and attempted to â&#x20AC;&#x153;propagandize.â&#x20AC;?

The move was criticized by John Baird, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foreign affairs minister, who said the Russian ministerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statements were â&#x20AC;&#x153;an incitement to intolerance which breeds hate.â&#x20AC;?

But Bairdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments immediately drew fire from Real Women of Canada.

The conservative womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group said Bairdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments stepped on the toes of another countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sovereignty, family and religious values.

Defending a countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action based on its cultural and socio-religious identity is a tired argument that too often has been trotted out for public display in the aftermath of human rights abuses.

The rights and freedoms of the individual are a basic human law that predates and supersedes the sovereignty and constitutions of nations.

Real Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments were immediately slammed by Canadians across the country, highlighting the cultural shift from intolerance to acceptance that has taken place in recent decades.

This national movement toward tolerance is by no means strictly a Canadian phenomenon.

Recognition of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered rights are gaining acceptance across North America and Europe, albeit at different rates and to different degrees.

In the U.S. even the Grand Old Party has grudgingly accepted the inevitability of gay marriage. As Sam Cooke once so eloquently wrote, change is gonna come.

Wrong impression about farms To the editor: Thanks to the Internet, and many sensational newscasts, the general public appears to be under the impression that todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s modern or factory farms are trying to kill them slowly with all kinds of hormones, GMOs, pesticides, herbicides and the like in their food.

Groups like PETA, and even the SPCA will have the general public believe that farms are horrific prisons of torture and death. That the poor unsuspecting animals who are raised there suffer from their first to last breath, I am curious to know how many of the loud voices of protest have actually been to a factory farm?

How many of the voices have spent weeks or months on one of these factory farms and witnessed first-hand the ebb and flow of the seasons, from planting to harvest, birth to death? Here in Renfrew County, we are surrounded by farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fields. Surrounded by livestock, Farmers walk among us. But how many people know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really going on past the farm gate?

The way the media and many activist groups tell it, the farmers drive around the countryside in their sprayers of poisonous death from sun-up to sun-down, spewing carcinogens and harmful, debilitating filth all over our food crops for weeks on end.

Those same farmers somehow find the time between their cancer-spraying, to torture cute little fuzzy animals before murdering them in horrific style, then butchering them for our dinner tables. Afterwards, they laugh mania-

The Renfrew Mercury 35 Opeongo Road, Renfrew, Ontario , c/o 80 Colonnade Rd. N. Unit 4, Nepean ON K2E 7L2

cally all the way to the bank with their riches, pilfered from the unsuspecting general public, who has no choice but to buy this disgusting and unhealthy food, since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only thing available.

Would anyone care to know what actually happens on a farm?

Planting here in Canada generally happens from April-June. All manner of crops are put in; corn, soybeans, wheat, canola, alfalfa, timothy, clovers, fruits and vegetables, just to name a few. Some depend on simple rain and sunshine for nourishment. Others require some fertilizer that has been specially formulated according to the crop and the field.

Yes, some seed is pre-treated with a fungicide or pesticide or fertilizer- all to keep it from rotting or being eaten, and to encourage germination. There is some concern that one of these treatments (nicotinoid) is what is causing our bee populations to suffer, and scientists are working to figure out the exact problem, and find a solution.

Some seeds have been selected for â&#x20AC;&#x153;breeding purposesâ&#x20AC;? to better a particular plant, or to encourage disease resistance. Some seeds have indeed been genetically modified, with other natural genes from other seeds and plants that encourage the same results.

These breeding tactics are not so different from people breeding dogs/cats/horses/cows/ birds for certain breed traits, making them stronger, or better, or prettier. In some cases, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simply evolution sped up.

Tribute to manor in face of challenges To the editor: I am one of thousands of Canadians whose spouses are suffering from some form of dementia.

My wife was diagnosed in 2008 with plaque in the cognitive skills area of her brain.

The symptoms of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;something wrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; began to show a few years earlier. Fern has been in Bonnechere Manor since November 2012.

It begs the question: what kind of people does this horrendous disease hit? Is it a genetic disposition, perhaps too much fat in the diet in the early years of life? There does not seem to be an answer.

A little bit about Fern Stevenson Postma. She was born on a farm near Braeside. When we met she was a young farm girl. After some major surger-

ies in her teen years she totally recovered and was ready for life as a young adult. We met in 1952 at the Ottawa River near Castleford with a group of young people. At the time I had a job in the little Dominion Store on the main street in Renfrew. We married in 1954, shortly thereafter we moved to Toronto where Fern, at age 25, became assistant secretary to the vice-president of a large corporation. She was well liked, she made no mistakes.

After a move to Ottawa she got a job with Bell Northern, where she became secretary to the president of operations.

She loved her work, she loved life, she loved music and dance, she loved going to the falls on the Coulonge River and climbed the rockface freehand. She loved a challenge.

My young brother gave her a mouth organ; later in life it went with her wherever we went. She actually played Bach on the mouth organ. I think Bach would have applauded.

As time progressed in ever so many ways, I feel that her own family and my family did not really know her anymore.

She very much became her own person.

For a period in our lives we worked with the elderly, the poor and the sick in Ottawa West. She was loved wherever she went.

Then, as the aging process began with our own parents, she gave herself totally to bring them whatever she could do, giving them comfort and support.

OPINION

Wrong Continued from page 8

Depending on the crop, some will be sprayed a few weeks to a month or two after they germinate. They are not randomly sprayed with deadly carcinogens for fun. The crops are examined by farmers or agronomists, and depending on weed populations, or pest populations, decisions are made about what, and how much of a product is sprayed.

The product is mixed by strict calculations, no stronger than required. Then they wait for a beautiful sunny day with no wind (to ensure activation of the product, and minimize drift to other crops that wouldn’t benefit from the product).

The sprayer goes very precisely down the fields that had been decided on. The boom sometimes mere inches from the foliage, sprays an even mist over the crops, aiming for maximum contact – on weeds or pests.

When the entire field has been done, the sprayer moves to its next specific field, or heads back to the shop. Generally, that is the extent of spraying for the year.

In the case of fruits and vegetables, often times, little to no spraying is done after planting, unless there has been an infestation of some nasty bug that will affect the quality and quantity of the harvest.

In regards to the animals...

According to the media and activist groups, farm livestock is usually housed in cramped and filthy quarters, with rarely enough food or water.

These same animals are pumped full of antibiotics to ward off the myriad of infections such vile living conditions spawn. Also due to the horrendous living conditions, these same animals must be pumped full of growth hormones just to develop at a ridiculous speed the farmer chooses.

Connected to your community

Not only are farm animals well looked after, but they are generally very healthy, too.

Sometimes, as with people, animals get sick. There is a fine line farmers tread with sick animals. How sick is too sick? When to treat? What to treat with?

Housed in bright, airy barns, often with fans for fresh air running 24/7, or wide open feedlots and pastures, many livestock have comfortable beds that even humans could tolerate for a day or two. Their feed is of the highest quality, and their general well-being is monitored daily. If one of these animals should get sick, a farmer will often change feed, or move the animal to a more comfortable or accessible area for rest, pain management, and monitoring. If this tactic doesn’t work, then an antibiotic can be administered, depending on the condition.

If antibiotics or surgery don’t work, the animal is humanely euthanized, and the body disposed of. In the usual event that the animal recovers, it is not put into the food chain until specified withdrawl times for meat or milk have been met. These withdrawl times are based on scientific studies that decide when a drug is successfully and satisfactorily out of an animal’s system. If a farmer is caught putting treated food into the food chain, the fines are hefty, and I assure you, the cons far outweigh the pros.

These growth hormones the media keep harping about are more of an urban legend than anything.

In some instances, animals are injected with a small dose of a hormone to encourage a heat for breeding purposes, but it’s no different than a human woman getting hormone therapy to encourage ovulation.

Actually, the animals require less treatment than humans in most cases...

Animals are not hopped up on growth hormones to beef them up, or make them grow

Tribute Continued from page 8

There is so much more: how can one write about 61 years of life together in a few paragraphs.

There are absolutely no words to describe the pain and sorrow I feel daily, the yearning and longing to have her back are beyond expression.

I wrote the forgoing mainly to give the reader some background on Fern as a person.

My main intention is to give both thanks and praise to the incredible people who make up the staff at Bonnechere Manor.

These people come from as far away as Pembroke, Eganville, Denbigh, Quadeville, Haleys to the west, and Arnprior to the east. They are what makes this valley one of the best places to live on earth.

They treat my darling and everyone else with

twice as fast as their “undrugged” counterparts. In fact, if you drove around from feedlot, to pasture, to organic farm, I seriously doubt you would be able to see any difference in size (with the exception of differences in breeds).

When harvest time arrives on the farm, farmers are very busy people. Getting the crops off can be almost as tricky as getting them planted. But farmers work efficiently and tirelessly from dawn to well after dark, just to finish the year’s harvest. After crops are off, manure is often spread as fertilizer – “liquid gold” it’s often called, and then worked in to the ground to prevent runoff, and retain maximum impact.

Animals are sent to sale barns, shipped off to the slaughter plants, and eventually to our dinner plates. While it is stressful for moving animals, I can assure that, having been to a large slaughter plant myself, every effort is made to keep the animals comfortable as they move through the chutes and gates. It’s a fairly quiet process (which is not the case when animals are very stressed), and before the animal knows it, it is dead. It doesn’t sound pretty, and it isn’t, but it is indeed humane, and I am an active animal lover.

So the next time you read an article or see a bit on TV about how unhealthy and inhumane our food is, I hope you will stop to think.

I hope you will stop by your local farmer’s market and ask real questions of real farmers.

I hope you will take a drive through the countryside and stop at a farmer’s gate to look, or to ask questions.

I hope you will take a farm tour if you are ever given the opportunity, and ask those questions. I hope that if you have eaten anything at all today, that you will remember to thank a farmer.

Angela Field Farmer, Renfrew

care and dedication.

The disease has silenced Fern’s voice, but I am grateful for all the friendly greetings I receive from the moment I enter the front doors of the manor.

It helps ease the agony I feel in my heart.

There are often words of encouragement; there is much needed laughter.

The day always ends with someone wishing me well when I leave. I honestly don’t know how I would survive the loneliness. The manor has become a place of refuge to me as much as it is to Fern. It is like a second home. I can see Fern’s window from my front window so I attempt conversation across the old Wal-Mart parking lot — it does not work.

My personal sincere thanks to all the folks who work in the manor for bringing hope and joy into our individual lives and the lives of so many others.

News - The Renfrew Victoria Hospital Auxiliary is holding an authentic Rocking Horse RafďŹ&#x201A;e in its drive to raise money toward its $130,000 commitment to the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gastroscope and colonoscope.

The rocking horse was carved by Dick Sherwood.

After retiring from the RCMP in the late 1960s, the Sherwoods settled in Russell, Ont. where Dick continued his passion for woodworking.

He created furniture and just a dozen or so rocking horses. They came in great demand.

Yolande and Alex Baillon, who lived in Russell at that time, commissioned one before they had any grandchildren. But now, the grandchildren have outgrown it. They felt this beautiful piece could ďŹ nd a new life. Because the rocking horse is much more than a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toy, the Baillonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; vision was much larg-

er. So it came to the RVH Auxiliary.

The rocking horse is on display at McPhail & Perkins Furniture on Raglan Street. Tickets are available at McPhail & Perkins, the RVH Gift Shop, and from members of the auxiliary.

Tickets are $2 each or three for $5. The winning ticket will be drawn in December.

The hospital auxiliary plans to be at gathering events throughout the summer, including Taste of the Valley and the Renfrew Fair Tickets for the rocking horse will be available at these events. Sign-up sheets will also be available to order the auxiliaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous Christmas tourtieres.

Another fundraiser is in the planning stages, the Christmas House Tour.

Seven lovely houses will be presented. The hospital auxiliary is an energetic team of volunteers who have enjoyed tremendous support from the communi-

Scapa Tapes GM saluted as he heads into retirement Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News A lunch barbecue was the guise, but it was really an opportunity to salute retiring general manager Andy Boldt

of Scapa Tapes North America’s Renfrew plant.

Before about 90 staff members Aug. 1, Boldt received a few small gifts, including a photo of a retirement-bound slitter machine with a super-

imposed photo of himself, and a duct tape wallet, made from the same material manufactured at the Renfrew plant.

The biggest gift was a commemorative plaque and maple tree. Placed on a large stone

next to the tree planted in front of the plant at 607 Barnet Blvd, the tribute reads: “In dedication of Andy Boldt in honour of his 24 years of leadership &

commitment to the growth and development of this site.”

Boldt has seen many changes in the company that has operations in Asia and Europe, in

addition to the North American plants in Connecticut, New York, Tennessee, California and Renfrew.

See BOLDT, page 32

Retiring general manager Andy Boldt gets a chuckle out of one of his retirement gifts.

The photo shows him superimposed on an older slitter that will soon be retired.

Seamless Continued from page 10

“I commend the teams involved for their effort in delivering this very important program,” adds Dr. Jack Kitts.

To fully integrate the systems, the Renfrew and Barry’s Bay hospitals switched from the Carestream PACS to a completely different solution called McKesson PACS, the same system used by TOH. “We worked diligently with the TOH Integration Implementation team for more than a year to accomplish this,” says Phil Crozier, head of the RVH diagnostic imaging department.

Now, radiologists at TOH no longer have to relocate to a different workstation and PACS system to report for Renfrew or Barry’s Bay. “This seamless integration allows all cases to be read on a first-in, first-out basis—regardless of which site the exams originated—greatly reducing our wait times for reporting. All urgent cases are

reported same day, with the remainder being read in less than 48 hours,” he says.

Dr. Mark Schweitzer, radiologist and former chief of radiology with TOH, worked closely with the Renfrew team throughout the project and says that this will allow Renfrew patients to have seamless consultations at The Ottawa Hospital.

Dr. Schweitzer and RVH’s Dr. Steve Radke say the new system will allow our hospitals to have access to the same high-quality interpretations by radiology specialists as the tertiary care centre in Ottawa.

“The real time, seamless sharing of imaging results between RVH and all departments of TOH will facilitate the delivery of timely, accurate and efficient care to our patients,” says Radke.

TOH radiologists provide expert emergency/trauma, body, cardiac, breast, musculoskeletal, thoracic and neuroradiology imaging services and interventional body and neuro-interventional radiology services.

Crozier says the radiolo-

gists (whether situated at TOH or RVH) can compare previous studies for the same patient, if that patient had imaging at Ottawa’s Civic, General or Riverside campus, Renfrew or Barry’s Bay. “Our referring clinicians also have access to view any images and reports from any of the sites mentioned above.”

“Consolidating the diagnostic medical imaging system of the three hospitals onto one platform has had immediate positive impacts for all of our patients and has enabled rapid review and reporting of imaging studies. The seamless integration was accomplished through a successful collaboration of teams across the organizations and with support from Canada Health Infoway,” notes Valerie Gamache-O’Leary, TOH’s senior director of information systems.

“This is a major enhancement for our patients, staff and physicians,” says Penney. “It has been an incredibly complex project with many folks helping to bring it to completion.”

Old-time dairy farm exhibition at McDougall Mill Museum in Renfrew Paula Campbell McDougall Mill Museum

Community - Come one, come all to the old-time dairy farm exhibition this Saturday, Aug. 17 at the McDougall Mill Museum.

The exhibition kicks off at 2 p.m. in Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien Park where there will be a live milking demonstration brought to you by Pinerille Farms.

The milking demonstration will consist of a live animal exhibit where a shorthorn cow will be milked using antique milking equipment.

Included in the exhibition will be a display featuring the Renfrew Cream Separator originally manufactured in Renfrew by the Renfrew Machinery Company.

Finally, there will be a butter-making station.

Visitors will have a chance to see how butter is made and will get a chance to taste the freshly made butter.

This hopes to be an educational experience that will be fun for the whole family and will give a glimpse into Renfrew life from around 100 years ago.

Admission to the exhibition is two dol-

lars per person at the gate and the museum will be open to visitors beforehand.

This week, through until Aug. 17, is seniors week at the museum. All visiting seniors are given free admission.

We encourage our senior visitors to come down and share their oral histories with us, whether about the area or an artifact. We will have a recording device for the purpose of adding these stories to our oral history collection.

The museum staff are extremely excited about these events and hope to see many visitors.

Whiskey and Wickedness: Taverns of Renfrew County Blaine Marchand Bromley Historical Society

Learn about â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the bottle in the windowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; when former Renfrew County land-use planner, historian and writer Larry D. Cotton speaks to the Bromley Historical Society on the taverns of Renfrew County on Sunday, Aug. 18, at 2 p.m. at the old Town Hall, 498 Micksburg Rd., Osceola.

Cottonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk will be enriched by his archival research into taverns, which formed the basis of a 10-volume series of Whiskey and Wickedness, each about drinking establishments in different Ontario townships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Initially, I was simply doing family research,â&#x20AC;? Cotton said in a recent interview, â&#x20AC;&#x153;as both of my family sides were tavern keepers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I came across such a wealth of ma-

terial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; early newspapers, police and coroner records, anecdotal information. It was an unmined resource that gave me a different perspective of history than I was taught in school. It was more colourful, compelling and humane.â&#x20AC;?

Renfrew County was a challenge, he admitted, as there were not many surviving copies of early newspapers.

Those that did exist had faded pages or sections missing.

Coverage often seemed to be sanitized as stories involved neighbours or relatives.

Nonetheless, he skillfully crafted a fourth book from the patchwork of information he found. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One thing that seems unique to Renfrew County is the bottle in the window.

Sometimes taverns illegally operated out of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own homes.

A bottle in the window was a signal that a weary traveller could find drink and accommodation within.

For many widows struggling to raise a family, it was a way to bring in needed income.â&#x20AC;?

The talk is open to the public and (nonalcoholic) refreshments will be served.

The Bromley Historical Society is looking for information and photos to compile information on Century Farms within the former township for its display at the upcoming Plowing Match on Saturday, Sept.

14.

It is also seeking stories and photos of former residents who fought with the Canadian Forces during the wars for its November Remembrance Day program.

Families with information are asked email blainemarchand@hotmail.com.

Mother was in a fit state for Aunt Lizzieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit to Northcote home

BY MARY COOK

had planned on a day of fishing in the Bonnechere ... not a day spent lugging mattresses up and down the stairs! But with Aunt Lizzie coming, every hand was put to use. That is, all except Father. He wanted no part of what he considered unnecessary work. He escaped to the barns, telling Mother it was time he did something about that broken door in the cow byre. He would appear only for his meals until Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frantic house cleaning was over.

My sister and I also had to give up our little shared washstand in our bedroom. It had to be completely emptied, and washed inside and out. What a carry-on, just because Aunt Lizzie was coming from Regina. Getting the food ready was a challenge in itself. Even though Aunt Lizzie was born and bred

on that homestead out in Northcote, you would never know she had ever breathed a breath of air from Renfrew County. There would be no salt pork for breakfast, and certainly pork hocks, and mud pout would never see the light of day all the time Aunt Lizzieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit lasted.

So as soon as the house was cleaned from top to bottom, Mother set to baking. The old Findlay Oval was fair jumping, as pie after pie, Johnny cake, and bread puddings were made and stacked in the ice box. A loaf of store-bought bread, and a real pound of butter replaced what we ate every day of our lives on the farm. Mother, once again, asked Father to please refrain from cooling his tea in his saucer while his sister was here, but her request, I knew, would fall on deaf ears. As far as Fa-

Lizzie who once or twice a year packed a big wood tea box full of clothes no longer suitable for her sons, and send it off to Renfrew

on the train. It was the hand-me-down box. Now, once again, Aunt Lizzie was coming to visit.

Even though Aunt Lizzie caused complete bedlam in our household before and during her visit, I loved when she came from Regina. She always brought me something special.

One time it was a doll, which, except for its body, was made of china. Even its little arms and legs were China.

I used to think she was the smartest thing to ever step off the train in Renfrew Station.

She always wore pure white... a white dress in the latest fashion... and a big wide red leghorn hat, and white gloves that went all the way up to her elbow. And on the outside of those spanking white gloves was a big red glass ring. Tiny red patent-leather shoes completed the outfit.

I would marvel at the wealth of our Western cousins. Didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t her two sons go to university?

And didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t she have a free pass to travel anywhere in the entire country by train. All because Uncle Jack worked for the CPR. And of course, it was Aunt

Lifestyle - Mother was in a state. Aunt Lizzie was on her way from Regina for her annual summer visit. As usual, she gave little notice. A letter had come just days before she was to arrive. That gave little time for Mother to get the house in spic and span order. Father reminded her she had just torn the whole place upside down for the spring cleaning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was months ago, Albert. And you know your sister. She can spot a fleck of dust a mile away.â&#x20AC;?

Aunt Lizzie would be given the bed Audrey and I slept in, and that meant we would be sent down to the creton couch in the kitchen, where we would have to sleep foot-to-foot since the couch was so narrow.

Heaven forbid that Aunt Lizzie would sleep on a feather mattress, which was what was on Audreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and my bed. The only felt mattress was on Mother and Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bed in the downstairs bedroom. That meant the brothers had to haul down the one from upstairs, and lug the other one upstairs, which didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t please them a bit. After all, it was a Saturday, and they

Automobile garage opens on Argyle AUGUST 15, 1913

AUTOMOBILE GARAGE: Messrs. E.H. Code and G.S. Brooker have opened an automobile garage at the corner of Elizabeth and Argyle streets in the rear of the Mackay store, and will there do all kinds of automobile repairing and keep in stock all accessories. There also, they have for sale, Ford, Reo, Russell and Mitchell cars. The building is this week being prepared for the new business.

CURIOSITY: Mr. C. K. Grigg had a curiosity to show The Mercury and other friends this week. It was a pillow cactus in bloom. He has had it for eight years, and a month ago was the first time it rewarded him with a bloom. Two more came this week, and so he brought it up to The Peoples Drug Store for the edification of passersby and others interested. We presume it takes its name from the shape of the plant. The flowers which are white â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are borne on the trumpet shaped stems which project from the top of the pillow, and last little more than a day.

It was not known whether they had come from the Ferrier Apiary on the north or the Wright Apiary on the south or whether the flight was from the west or east. Mr. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Willyâ&#x20AC;?

SCORES OF AUTOMOBILES ONLY ONE BUGGY: At decoration and memorial services held recently in the Horton Township cemetery which is nearest to the Community Hall the oldest person present was Mr. Joseph Farrell, aged 95 years. And he was the only person who drove to the scene with horse and buggy. Nor did he drive an old grey mare, not what she used to be. There were scores of cars in which men and women had been conveyed to the cemetery for the services, and Mr. Farrell might have attended the same way, but he had a preference for old Dobbin.

Nothing gained if you do not try

We were so delighted yesterday to have three young blue jays at the feeder without the parent.

One day, Joe was sitting on the deck and six blue jays landed on the railing next to the feeders.

Five of them were young and she was teaching them to come to the feeders.

We had a young red breasted grosbeak with most of his colours.

We had tree swallows and bluebirds move into our nesting boxes this spring.

The young ones obviously much “prefer” being fed by the adults but after a while they learn to feed on their own.

Scene from the Hawk’s Eye AN UNFORTUNATE EVENT

Donna and Barry Proulx spend their summers at Golden Lake and this year they have had some good events, 10 hummers at their feeders, and one bad event, something, possibly a turtle or a large fish, caught the single chick of a pair of loons.

Hummers fly into windows and young water birds are taken by predators that lurk in the water. Both situations are unfortunate but it is the way life is in the wild.

This note from Barb Bristow: Last week when I was watering the flowers in my garden I encountered the strangest looking insect. It was three times the size of a large bumble bee and was extracting nectar from my phlox. It flew away like a hummingbird.

A little computer research produced results; it was a clear-winged hummingbird moth which I had never heard of before. However, it did not hover over the phlox like a hummingbird to extract the nectar but sat on them.

Barb Bristow Barb: You are correct it is a hummingbird moth one of our most interesting but least known moths. They do hum and they do extract nectar from flowers, especially phlox.

We don’t have a hummingbird feeder but we do have a female who seems to live here, seldom see her at the flowers, but she has been here for most of the summer.

The other evening I was sitting out on the back deck and she came hovering around the windows. I thought maybe she was admiring her reflection.

She flew off and a couple of minutes returned, speared a fly off the back door and zipped away with it.

I was aware they may eat insects but this was the first time I got to observe it.

Brian Eady Brian: Female hummers feed their young insects as there is very little if any protein or vitamins in nectar.

Barry and Cindy Bennett have seen two snow geese in a swamp near their home this summer.

It seems a bit early for this species to be in the area unless they did not fly north in the spring.

One of the birds is pure white the other has the markings of a blue phase bird.

In flight the black wing-tips and white underparts are the best field marks of this species.

Check each flock of Canada geese you see for “white” birds.

Bill’s youngest son Brian and his wife Judy and their two children now operate Hugli’s Blueberry Ranch.

Today, Hugli’s Blueberry Ranch grows over 17 acres of blueberries and is the largest blueberry opera-

HUMMINGBIRD MOTH

WHIP-POOR-WILLS

Judith McCann has been hearing whip-poor-wills most nights this year.

As she says, “They are one of the pleasures of living in the country.”

Hummingbirds and barn swallows are part of the daylight regulars in the area near their home at Mount St. Patrick.

blueberries on high bushes would be able to be picked by people of any age or physical condition excited Bill. The thought of being able to offer people the “therapy” of a health building food and the exercise of picking the berries drove Bill’s quest to see if these hybrids would survive in the colder Canadian climate.

After testing a few hundred bushes of various varieties over several years, the decision was made against all expert advice to establish the most northern commercial high-bush blueberry operation in Ontario. With Bill’s vision and the hard work of his family, friends and dedicated staff, Hugli’s conquered the odds and succeeded in growing blueberries.

Bill Hugli died in 1996, but his legacy lives on.

YOUNG BIRDS COME TO FEED

JIM FERGUSON

Sunday, Aug. 18 from 2 to 4 p.m.Hugli’s Blueberry Ranch in Pembroke is having a 35th anniversary celebration of growing highbush blueberries.

The public is invited to join the Hugli family to celebrate this special occasion. Live entertainment will be provided by the Gillian Rutz Band with special performances by Ben Rutz and Yvan Petit from the Johnny Reid Band.

Complimentary refreshments will be provided.

The cake-cutting ceremony will take place at 2:30 p.m.

While travelling through the United States in the 1970s with his family, Bill Hugli came across high bush blueberry plantations in New Jersey.

At the time, Bill Hugli was a holistic style chiropractor and the idea that

An interesting event happened at our feeder last year. I was outside throwing peanuts to the blue jays and chipmunks.

An adult blue jay flew down with a young one at its side and retrieved a peanut (in the shell) and flew back into the trees.

At the same time a chipmunk was stuffing its cheeks with nuts. When the adult jay flew away, the young bird hopped right over to the chipmunk fluttering its wings and giving it’s, “I’m hungry-feed-me-now” display.

As you may guess, the chipmunk did not indulge.

The blue jays frequent the feeder and bring their young to show them where the food is.

We have been watching (over the past few of weeks) the male rosebreasted grosbeaks chaffing the black sunflower seeds and feeding it to their open-mouthed young ones who of course are now the same size as the adults.

cent of its operating budget, but does receive support from the city.

“Food banks are really a symptom they are a symptom of a systematic problem. People should be able to afford to buy their own food,” said Dr. Klodawsky.

“Food banks are so not a solution,” she added. “Being able to access food once a month is just a drop in the bucket.”

“It’s happening for a lot of different reasons,” said Klodawsky.

“But a number of those reasons are feeding into one and another.”

There is a growing suspicion that government are misusing tax revenue. But Klodawsky says there is a lack of appreciation for what taxes do to help maintain a good quality of life much more efficiently than what the marketplace does.

There is not enough discussion about the benefits of having a government that can take care of its citizens as well as its infrastructure, she added.

O’Connor, Smith tops at 2013 club championship Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - Jonah O’Connor and Lisa Smith hoisted the Renfrew Golf Club’s top hardware early Sunday evening.

O’Connor fired a pair of 18-hole rounds of 75 for a 150 total to outlast runner-up Kip Mulvihill by a single shot to capture the men’s title at the 2013 Ottawa Valley Physiotherapy club championship at the Renfrew Golf Club.

In the meanwhile, Smith has found winning in five-year intervals to her liking. Scores of 83 and 84 for a 167 gave her a seven-stroke triumph over Anne MacNeil for her third women’s crown. Smith also won in 2003 and 2008.

O’CONNOR BATTLES BACK

O’Connor was honoured to earn this prestigious golf title for the first time. “It feels great. I played two strong days,” O’Connor said.

“I had to battle through the second day being down by three. I pulled it off in the end. It was a great experience with awesome people being around with my dad (Steve) caddying me. It couldn’t get any better,” he said.

Sunday’s round included a trip into the bush resulting in a double-bogey on No. 4, and a pair of three-putts on the back nine. However, when it mattered, O’Connor was the last man standing.

“Everything turned out well in the end. I played from hole 5 to 18 at even par, and walked away pretty happy with that.”

SMITH EARNS THIRD TITLE

Smith lost track and didn’t realize that Sunday’s was actually her third women’s club title, and not her second.

She knew she had won one, “about five or six years ago.”

“It was good. Kim (McDonald) and Anne (MacNeil) are always really nice to play with,” she said. “We cheer each other on.”

“It felt like a long day today (Sunday). We didn’t hit the ball as well as we did yesterday (Saturday), but, at the end of the day when they added up my score they said, ‘You know, you shot an 84.’”

“It didn’t feel like it, but you know what, I’ll take it,” Smith added with a laugh.

OTHER CHAMPIONS

Capturing the remaining 2013 club titles in the men’s loop were B flight: Brian Hewitt (83-82-165); C flight: Jim Vandewouw (76-90-176); and D flight: Chris McKechnie (86-84170); In the women’s division, Kim Vandewouw (91-90-181) won the B flight and Jackie Guilbeault (110102-212) the C flight.

Men’s D champ Chris McKechnie and junior club champion Henry Cranston are missing from the photo. out the awards.

Brown was pleased with the turnout for this year’s championship.

“We had 108 participants, up 20 to 25 from last year,” he said.

Henry Cranston “broke 90 for the first time in his life” en route to winning the junior club championship, Brown noted. Cranston carded rounds of 88 and 91 for a 179. Ethan White posted a nine-hole score of 52 to win the novice division.

Rob Warren captured the senior men’s title with a 157 to edge Steve

Mulvihill by one shot.

Kim McDonald claimed top senior women’s honours with a 172 total.

She was also women’s low net winner at 134. Jeff Russell charted a 136 for the men’s low net score.

The super senior champ was John David, and Greg Savicky low net.

A highlight of Sunday’s action was a hole-in-one carded by Izzy Farber on the 14th hole.

The club championship doesn’t bring to an end the major events for members of the Renfrew Golf Club.

Far from it.

The top ladies team among Valley clubs will be decided when the O’Brien Cup is played in Deep River Aug. 24.

The men’s champion will be declared the Saturday and Sunday of Labour Day Weekend when Pembroke hosts the Gordon Cup. Jonah O’Connor recently competed at the Ontario Junior Investors Group provincial championship in Windsor. He shot rounds of 77 and 83.

Two members of the Gretzky trade later saw action in Renfrew Peter’s Putterings As they should have, TSN and SportsNet highlighted the biggest trade in hockey history last week.

four titles in Edmonton.

The deal actually attained a local presence – at least for a day – 24 years later.

While Wayne couldn’t make it to the March 18, 2012 NHL-Alumni game for Renfrew Minor Hockey, brother Brent and dad Walter did.

So too did two members of the big trade – Marty McSorley and Mike Krushelnyski. Both also became L.A. Kings on the day Gretzky was dealt.

Going from Los Angeles to Edmonton that day were Jimmy Car-

son, Martin Gelinas, three first-round draft choices and the most important player in the deal – 15 million bucks.

Carson racked up 100 points in his first year in Edmonton, including 49 goals. But it wasn’t nearly enough.

After just four games into his second season as an Oiler, he asked out, and was dealt to the Detroit Red Wings. Carson later became a teammate of Gretzky’s in Los Angeles in the 1992-93 season, the year L.A. reached the Stanley Cup final.

People might forget, before sign-

ing on with the New York Rangers as a free agent in 1996, The Great One was traded by the Kings to St. Louis.

He went to the Blues for such notables as Craig Johnson, Patrice Tardif, Roman Volpat, and draft picks (Peter Hogan and Matt Zultek).

While he never again won a Stanley Cup after his days with Edmonton, Gretzky did earn a Grey Cup ring with former Kings owner Bruce McNall and comedian John Candy as co-owner of the 1991 Toronto Argonauts.

PETER CLARK

Aug. 9, 1988 was the date when, while enjoying a beverage along the shores of Lake Clear, I learned that the Edmonton Oilers had just dispatched Wayne Gretzky to the Los Angeles Kings.

Many looked at it as Canada sending its top hockey asset to the United States. My take was that, finally, the Oilers would stop winning Stanley Cups.

As it turned out, the Oilers would win one more two seasons later, while Gretzky never did get his name engraved on the Stanley Cup after

REGULAR SEASON

This year’s regular-season schedule opens in the road for Renfrew.

The Wolves and Perth Blue Wings renew their rivalry Friday, Sept. 13 at the Perth Community Centre.

The home opener is Sunday, Sept. 22 when the Almonte Thunder comes calling at 7:30 p.m.

CHANGES IN 2013-14

The Metro-Valley Conference has two showcase events scheduled in different venues.

On Saturday, Sept. 14 at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior, five cross-conference games will be played.

Included is a 5 p.m. encounter when the Wolves take on the Ottawa West Golden Knights. This is designated as a Renfrew home game.

On Saturday, Nov. 30, a similar five-game Metro-Valley card will be hosted at the Barbara Scott Arena by the Ottawa West Golden Knights.

The Wolves will take on the Gatineau Mustangs. Again it is a 5 p.m. face-off.

Since this will be a Gatineau home game, it saves the Wolves from making the trip to Buckingham this season.

All 11 Metro-Valley teams will participate in the EOJHL Fall Classic.

It will be hosted by the Alexandria Glens at the Glengarry Sports Palace the weekend of Oct. 18-20.

The Wolves challenge the defending Rideau-St. Lawrence champion Athens Aeros Saturday, Oct. 19 at 3 p.m.

If the defending league champion Ottawa Jr. Canadians plan to hang their championship banner from the rafters of the Brian Kilrea (Canterbury) Arena, nobody from the junior B league will see it.

The Canadians are moving their home games to the Sandy Hill Arena this year.

Sports - Renfrew Collegiate Institute grad Mark Papousek and golf partner Bob Radmore have done something never accomplished in Ottawa golf circles.

The long-time radio morning show host at Country 101.1, Papousek, and Radmore of Chez 106, became the first duo in the history of the Ottawa Sun Scramble Regimbal Media Challenge to captured the coveted golf title for a second time.

In howling winds and on a rain-dampened turf, Papousek and Radmore outlasted Chez’s Eric the Intern and Daryl Pick-

nine holes to play slipped away.

They entered the back nine at four under par, but a double-bogey on No. 18 eventually allowed The Intern and Pickering to draw even.

The field also included the Renfrew duo of myFM’s Jon Pole and Andrew Dick of the Dragonfly Golf Links, who combined for an 82, which was 10 shots off the pace.

Another competitor with local ties was the Team 1200’s Steve Warne of TGOR Nation, who got his radio start in Renfrew.

He and Kenny Walls of Team 1200 carded a four-over par 76 to finish in a tie for fifth.

Sports - The Renfrew Timberwolves are coming off their second Valley Division title in three years.

But like the rest of the 22team loop, it’s time for Renfrew’s Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League club to focus on the start of the 2013-14 season.

The Wolves would like to see the number 13 prove lucky, as in the number of division crowns Renfrew teams have won.

They currently have 12, the latest being the Wolves’ fivegame conquering of the Perth Blue Wings in the Valley Division final this past spring.

Five times a Renfrew division title was capped with an EOJHL championship. The last came in 1993.

Potential future Wolves take to the ice early in the form of a rookie-free agent camp Aug. 20, 21 and 22 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

Regular camp begins Tuesday, Aug. 27 and continues Thursday, Aug. 29 from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. on both nights when coach Kip Mulvihill, and assistants Mike Bredlaw and Danby Suckow will get a first preview on how the 201314 edition of the Wolves might

look.

Wolves general manager Brent Sylvester has three preseason games scheduled, including two at home.

The Wolves host the Pontiac Juniors Tuesday, Sept. 3 at 7 p.m.

Following another practice session Thursday, Sept. 5 from 7 to 9 p.m., the Wolves will take to the ice for a second preseason game Sunday, Sept. 8 when they take on the Almonte Thunder at 7:30 p.m.

On Aug. 6, Amazing Race was the theme for the last fun night of the season at RGC. Twenty-eight ‘racers’ answered questions that were placed on a variety of holes to help lower their score for nine holes. The winning team came in with a score of 31.

The very generous sponsors for the Ladies fun night were Phoenix Network (Glynnis Easy) and Piramid Manufacturing (Anna Cox).

Chef Casey Stewart and her staff provided a wonderful supper with a country theme, including local corn on the cob. Door prizes were given out and the 50-50 draw, won by Sharon McDougall, was donated back to the junior program at Renfrew Golf Club; a very generous donation indeed.

Wildlife Habitat Canada

Sports - The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters and Wildlife Habitat Canada remind hunters in Ontario of the upcoming season and the excellent waterfowl hunting opportunities available this fall.

Changes to the migratory game birds hunting regulations will provide new opportunities for additional seasons and species, says OHAH and WHC in a joint news release.

“Waterfowl hunting is one of the most traditional and time honoured of all hunts,” said OFAH executive director Angelo Lombardo.

“Recent regulatory changes for migratory game birds will allow for increased possession limits and hunting for new species such as mourning doves, which are strongly supported by the OFAH.” The Migratory Game Bird Hunting Permit and Canadian Wildlife Habitat Conservation Stamp are now available at Canada Post outlets. Proceeds from the stamp, which validates the hunting permit, are transferred to WHC under an agreement with Environment Canada. WHC uses this money to fund primarily waterfowl and wetland conservation projects across Canada.

“Since 1985, Wildlife Habitat Canada has provided more than $60 million in funding in support of over 1,500 conservation projects across Canada,” said WHC president Len Ugarenko. For more, visit www.ofah. org/waterfowl.

Two years ago one of the major issues was the conversion of the CBC from analog to digital. The CBC chose to continue the free broadcast for certain urban areas, leaving rural viewers to acquire cable or satellite service. The reason behind the change was to free up a portion of the radio wave spectrum for cell phones, internet, data, and other wireless communications.

The entire issue of access to wireless service is now front and centre nationally, as the time for wireless companies to submit bids for the wireless spectrum auction draws near. Our Conservative Government intends to keep the interests of the consumer foremost in mind. Access, speed and affordability are what the public demands. That means competition is a requirement.

In addition to Wind, Mobilicity & Public Mobile, whose entrance into Canada’s wireless market forced the BIG 3 to finally end the hated System Access Fee, another company which previously serviced parts of our country, Verizon, may join in the competition. This has the incumbents fuming in the newspapers, on the radio, in newscasts over satellite, cable and internet claiming the Government is being unfair for allowing an American company into the game. They are also saying Verizon’s entrance will threaten current plans for expanding coverage to rural areas.

The Big 3 have a dominating place in Canada’s telecommunications market, owning TV, radio stations, and newspapers in addition to cable and cell phone services. That’s right, if you are fortunate enough to have cell phone coverage where you are, one of the Big 3 companies may also own a piece of the newspaper you read, TV channels you watch, and the radio you listen to.

Town of Renfrew

If you do not have high speed internet, part of the reason may be that one of the Big 3 owns the spectrum for it, has no intentions to use it, but keeps it so that no one else can have it, such as small local companies who would provide you coverage if they had access to it.

127 Raglan Street, South Renfrew, Ontario, K7V 1P8

Now let us address the newly found concern the Big 3 have for rural residents. They claim service for rural residents will be threatened if more competition is allowed in. For years urban phone customers were billed an extra fee to pay for telecommunications infrastructure in outlying areas. It was called the “deferral” account. We still have homeowners two hours outside our nation’s capital who do not have basic phone service.

These people wrote cheques to help cover the costs of getting lines out to their farms. The cheques were returned to the people. Extra phone features were provided to customers along the Highway 401 corridor.

This summer, as I meet with people in Griffith, Whitney, Palmer Rapids, Quadeville, Braeside, Horton, Stonecliffe, Wilno, and Matawatchan, the common theme I hear from residents is the question of when they will get cell coverage and faster internet. Federal MPs in Eastern Ontario were successful in securing $60M for the region to fill the broadband gap. Once again the members of BRAVO Task Force I struck in January of 2007 are to be commended for their role in making this happen.

Right now the air waves are mainly owned by Rogers, Bell and Telus, the “Big 3”. In order to encourage more providers to enter the marketplace our Government has set rules to limit the blocks of spectrum the Big 3 can bid on in the upcoming auction. The auction includes the high quality 700 MHz frequency band formerly used by analog TV signals, which is better for rural areas, because the signal reaches farther, and needs fewer towers to provide coverage.

METALPRO MOVES TO SCARBOROUGH SITE: Metalpro Tools Ltd. of Renfrew has moved to Scarborough to be closer to its market, the president of the company said Tuesday. Chris Benbow, president of the firm, said the company is still in business in its new location, supplying moulds to plastic manufacturers. The six employees of Renfrew were given the option of moving with the company, but all six chose to stay in Renfrew, Mr. Benbow said. The company closed here on July 21 and the actual move took place the first week of August. Mr. Benbow bought the company from its previous owners two years ago, but said the move to Scarborough had been in the planning stages for the last six months. Metalpro Tools will be closer to its market at its new location in Scarborough, he said, since the majority of their customers were in the Toronto area.

For help with research, email olewis@ sympatico.ca Community - Governor-General David Johnston has unveiled two collector coins and a collector coin set celebrating the birth of His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge.

Johnston was joined during the Aug. 8 ceremony at Rideau Hall by Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages Shelly Glover and Royal Canadian Mint CEO Ian E. Bennett.

Presently Renfrew Hydro is operated by an independent commission with two elected officials and the mayor as members. Waterworks are run by the Ministry of the Environment and town council, but the ministry plans on backing out of this agreement with the town. A letter from the Ministry of Environment received by council at the meeting Monday indicated that they wished to have the town take over the water plant operation by March 31, although they would consider advancing the takeover point to the end of this year if necessary.

Special Douglas Grocery celebration Aug. 24 Community - Donna Brisbin and Bob Anctil have good reason to smile.

Not only have they been a couple for 23 years, but they’re inviting the community to join them to celebrate their decade as owners of Douglas Grocery.

“Friends, relatives, customers, anyone who wants to help us celebrate,” says Brisbin, who says proceeds from beverage sales that day will go to the family of Austin May, who’s waiting for a kidney transplant.

There will be musical entertainment, conversation, cake and a barbecue for the celebration that runs from 4 p.m. into the late hours of Saturday, Aug. 24.

Celebrations will take place in the store’s backyard, just off the main street.

The couple officially assumed ownership Aug. 23, 2003, but they will also have soon paid off their business loan. The loan has meant monthly payments of about $1,700, but those end in October.

The celebration is a victory in many ways, including Anctil’s victory over alcoholism.

Brisbin met Anctil at Mackay Manor in Renfrew, where Anctil was trying to kick his dependence on booze and where Brisbin’s ex-husband fought his own battle with alcoholism.

Anctil also knew how alcoholism took its toll. He says he was just a teenager when drinking took his dad’s life at age 38. It was a similar history for Bris-

LIFE’S CHALLENGES STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND

Life has had its challenges for Anctil, who can barely read or write, but he says he’s not complaining.

While sitting in the kitchen, a shout away from the front counter of Douglas Grocery, he gives a thumbs-up when asked what he thinks of the Ottawa Valley.

“I’m not drinking anymore,” he says. “I enjoy life, I have a good-looking woman, and I have a whole bunch of grandkids.”

“That’s what is going to be nice, when the loan’s paid off,” says Brisbin.

“We’ll have more freedom. We’ll be able to afford to hire staff so we can have more free time.”

“I’ve never had something totally mine that wasn’t owned by the bank,” she adds with a smile of satisfaction.

Donna Brisbin and Bob Anctil plan to burn their business loan agreement during their 10th-anniversary celebrations Aug. 24.

Brisbin worked at Douglas Grocery for about two and a half years before she accepted the invitation to buy the store from Lea and Jim Deacon.

One of the best parts of being a store operator is the people, whether they’re regular customers or newcomers who may have questions about the area.

“I enjoy the store,” says Brisbin.

“It’s tedious sometimes, with the long hours. I’m here 70 hours a week, but I enjoy meeting the customers, especially new people who have never been here before.

It’s interesting seeing older people who haven’t been in for 10 or 20 years, who come in and tell us what the store was like before.

hasn’t always had that name, nor the same look, even though it has had the same deli counter since the 1950s.

The store, which opened in the late 1800s, was known for many years as Breens Store. It also featured a stove.

There have been other building modifications, too, but meanwhile Douglas Grocery remains a go-to place for conversation, newspapers, beverages, candy, beef jerky, groceries, morning coffee and baked goods — especially its renowned Chelsea buns, at $3.50 for a pan of nine.

bin, who lost her dad to a heart attack when she was just 15.

“I was an alky. Just trying to get sober was hard enough,” says Anctil, now 66, who left Ottawa for the Valley, and stayed.

“When he was drinking, he would throw the cap away and drink the whole bottle (of liquor). He was not a social drinker,” says Brisbin.

Part of the solution to his battle with the bottle was working 25 years with the Renfrew company, USS, from which he retired a few months ago. With his partner’s assistance, he has stayed off booze since he left Mackay Manor in the late 1980s.

what we wanted to accomplish … Renfrew is a critical part of our footprint and a driver of growth, not only in revenue but in profit … We have new programs, new projects that are coming on that I think will take Renfrew to another level.”

In thanking the audience, Boldt said he was “extremely humbled by all the great things that you had to say. I don’t deserve a tenth of the credit you give me, honestly.

I’m just a very lucky guy.

“In my career, there’s a number of people in this room who have worked with me with three different companies. I’ve just always been so blessed with the teams I’ve had to work with.

“You know, you’re the ones who built this factory. I played a little part in it. You were there to support. You were there to listen … The team that’s been around me and that I have today has been a phenomenal bunch of people to work with. We have fun, but

we take things seriously. It’s just been a joy.”

While Boldt said he has been looking forward to retirement with excitement and trepidation, he said he’ll really miss his fellow workers. After travelling the world, he said, “You’re just first class … I’ll put you up against the best; you are the best, honestly. And we’re just starting to gain steam. I think the sky’s the limit in terms of

what we can do here.”

Boldt will remain with the company on a part-time basis, until the fall, to help with transition to a new general manager.

The Renfrew plant of Scapa Tapes North America, with about 160 employees, makes hockey tape, polyethylene industrial tape and adhesive bondings for commercial, industrial and medical markets.

In my career, a number of people in this room have worked with me with three different companies. I’ve just always been so blessed with the teams I’ve had to work with. I played a little part in it.

You were there to support. You were there to listen.

During Boldt’s last official week of service with Scapa, tributes included one from Nashville resident Elwyn Huddleston, a technical advisor who worked with Boldt in the 1990s.

“It was not so long ago that we were making tape in rented space having one old calendar, two old mills and inadequate slitting,” said Huddleston’s letter of tribute that was read by business manager Scott Barnes of the Renfrew plant.

In the same letter Huddleston summarized how critical Boldt’s input was to Scapa obtaining a working building and 17 acres of land at a good price in the mid-1990s.

“To me that was the definitive move which permitted the major expansion which followed.”

Huddleston also credited Boldt with pushing hard for modernization, like the new and automated slitting equipment, and for working to create a good atmosphere in

the Renfrew plant.

“It is the most pleasant place I have ever worked,” wrote Huddleston. “I feel blessed to have been there for a few years and to have enjoyed your friendship.”

Others also paid tribute to the retiring GM, including veteran labour lawyer Rick Baldwin, who jested that Boldt, by cheering for the Ottawa Senators hockey team, verified that he’s lost in the wilderness. On a more serious note, Baldwin called him a “sensational community guy” who reflects such Ottawa Valley traits as honesty, integrity and accountability.

“Scapa was incredibly fortunate to have a local boy come home (to work here 24 years),” concluded Baldwin.

“The minimum I could do is get on a plane and come here and shake your hand,” said Scapa Group CEO Heejae Chae, who saluted Boldt’s quality of leadership, after working with him for four years.

“I have been floored by how Andy has grabbed onto the new way, and

Community - The Renfrew County Women’s Monument is a tribute, in the form of a public art installation, to women in Renfrew County who have been murdered and abused by men.

The monument is the culmination of more than five years of meeting, consultation, planning and fundraising undertaken by the Women’s Monument Committee, a special working group of the Renfrew County Committee for Abused Women.

The official unveiling of the monument will take place Saturday, Sept. 14 at 1 p.m. at the monument site.

Situated along the Emerald Necklace Trail between Algonquin and Harry Streets in Petawawa, the site is within view of the rapids on the Petawawa River.

The monument was designed by Cormac artist/ blacksmith Lydia Vanderstaal and Mary Crnkovich owner/operator of Touch Stone Masonry in Killaloe.

Together they have created a beautiful design that marries Lydia’s metal work and Mary’s stone work in this naturally beautiful setting.

Gardeners Karen Timm and Gail Marion of Garden Follies in Westmeath have donated their time to assist with landscape planting and design.

The monument will provide a place of sanctuary where visitors can sit, reflect, and remember the 16 Renfrew County women who will be named on the monument.

The Women’s Monument Committee is planning the official unveiling and are inviting surviving family members to be involved as the monument is dedicated to the 16 women we have lost.

This dedication is intended to be a time of reflection and honouring of each of the women.

Family members and/or friends are invited to attend and to consider contributing to the dedication.

This could involve bringing a photograph of the woman they have lost.

Perhaps a family member would like some time to speak about their loved one.

There will also be a time when family or community members will bring forth photographs and candles in honour of each woman.

Family or friends may choose to be involved at this point.

The Women’s Monument Committee has been contacted by a number of families who have read about the monument and wish to be involved with the project.

However, there are many women who will be named at the dedication that we know very little about.

If you are a family member, neighbour, or friend of any of the women who will be named

Bark in the Park Day is huge success Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Renfrew is becoming known as a dog-friendly community.

The town opened a 1.5acre dog park in June that allows owners to unleash their canine companions for interaction with other dogs within the fenced in area near the Ma-Te-Way Park softball fields. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It (Bark in the Park) is just a chance for owners and their dogs to celebrate our off-leash dog park, and to see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s here in vendors and services for dog owners,â&#x20AC;? said Renfrew parks and recreation program developer Jo-anne Caldwell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The park,â&#x20AC;? she added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;has exceeded all expectations. There was obviously a need for the park, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say for the majority who come here, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their first dog park. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking a place for their dogs to socialize, and now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming out on a regular basis.â&#x20AC;?

Follow that up with a hugely successful Bark in the Park day at the same site July 27, and Caldwell has reason to smile.

It was the second annual Bark in the Park, but the first with the new fenced-in area. The first Bark in the Park day was held last year to help pay for fencing, a picnic table and trees.

From left, in the foreground, are Braxton Hamilton with this Australian Shepherd (Rue), Tracy Franken of Beyond Obedience with her Newfoundland (Mariah), Mikinley Hamilton with this Mini Golden Doodle (Bert) and Judy Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Grady, Bertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner.

that more than 100 people showed up for the July 27 event that ran from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Judy Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Grady of Renfrew is among those pleased with the recent dog-related developments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fantastic idea,â&#x20AC;? she says of the park, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because lack of socialization is a big problem with many dogs.â&#x20AC;?

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Grady says the park is one of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best moves since she moved here eight years ago. And Bark in the Park just highlights the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest in encouraging dog and dog STEVE NEWMAN/ owners interaction, she METROLAND said.

Tracey Crabtree and Chris Thompson heard about the event and travelled all the way from Ottawa to attend with their dog 613-433-3993 Chiko, a Dachshund mix.

459 Albert St. Sonya Lepine of RenRenfrew ON frew is a member of the K7V 1V8 group that helped organize info@hospicerenfrew.ca the most recent developments for dogs and their owners.With a big smile, she said of the recent initiatives: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love it.â&#x20AC;?

There were several businesses on hand to promote their products and services, among them K9 Excursions and Cherished Pets in Renfrew, Beyond Obedience in Arnprior, and Valley Animal Rescue, a Renfrew County service that facilitates fostering and ownership of dogs and cats in need of homes.

Message from Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park

We would like to recycle everything, but some things are just garbage. Recycling right ensures material from our community can be properly sorted by staff at the Ottawa Valley Waste Recovery Centre. www.madawaskavalley.ca Space provided through a partnership between industry and Ontario municipalities to support waste diversion programs.

I was more than a little shocked on July 19th when I received notification from the Ministry of Natural Resources that Ontario would be proceeding with an Amendment to the Algonquin Provincial Management Plan. This Amendment would result in a further 96,089 hectares being added to protection zones. Translated this means that this area would no longer be available to harvest timber. My initial understanding and incorrectly, I might add, was that myself and stakeholders would have the opportunity to comment on this plan. I even indicated this, based on my misunderstanding at a meeting with the Renfrew County Landowners a week later. I was subsequently informed that the notice I received, meant the Ministry would be going ahead with the implementation of the Plan and no further comments would be considered.

This issue had been off the radar screen for some time and it had been my hope that the Liberal Government had listened to the input of stakeholders including me as the MPP, the County of Renfrew and the Ontario Forest Industry Association. I have maintained from the start that the changes proposed, in the Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lightening the Ecological Footprint of Logging in Algonquin Parkâ&#x20AC;? were unnecessary. It is my belief that they were based not on real science but on political science.

LETâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S BE CLEAR - the harvest of timber from Algonquin Park has not only, not been detrimental to the park, it has been beneficial. Consider the number of forest fires that have not happened because dead decaying trees, a natural fuel for forest fires, had been harvested before they reached that state. When forest fires have occurred the access created by logging roads has made it much easier to fight them. I call logging slow motion farming.

Trees are harvested and re-grown, maintaining optimal ecological health in our forests. Like any plant, each species has a natural life span. Trees are no different.

Managing the forest ensures that harvesting takes place at the right time. The managing of the forest in Algonquin Park has been done in a first class, world recognized fashion for decades. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a model that our local operators can be extremely proud of. The balance incorporated in the plan has worked. The reason, the liberals are proceeding with changes is plain and simple. They are reacting to pressure from anti-logging environmental groups. People who understand nothing about the orderly harvest of forests and the benefits accrued by all.

A benefit that cannot be overlooked is the economic impact that logging has on our communities. A significant portion of the families in Renfrew County depend on forestry for a living. Reducing the area of Algonquin Park available for harvest is a threat to their livelihood. It should be pointed out that harvesting operations in Algonquin Park never exceed 2% of the area at any time. Opponents to logging would have you believe that cutting operations in the park are decimating the forests - nothing could be further from the truth. My biggest fear is that this decision by the government could be the thin edge of the wedge. Now that the environmental lobbyists have succeeded in having the available area reduced, they will aim for their ultimate goal. Make no mistake folks, that goal is an outright, total ban on logging in Algonquin Park. Should they ever achieve this, it would spell disaster for our environmentally sustainable way of life here in RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke. We can never allow this to happen.

This decision and others like it such as the ill considered and disastrous endangered species act indicate over and over again that this government doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand rural Ontario and the people who live here. While the liberals continually say things to try to convince us otherwise, it brings me to that age old adage â&#x20AC;&#x153;Actions speak louder than words.â&#x20AC;? How True!

Food banks Continued from page 17

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The government is not fulďŹ lling its obligations under international law to respect, protect and fulďŹ ll the right to food,â&#x20AC;? said Riches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to think that we have it but the point in fact is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not there. There are too many people going hungry.â&#x20AC;?

According to Health Canada, there were 3.9 million Canadians living in households that are deemed food insecure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A considerable portion of them are severely food insecure so they are hungry,â&#x20AC;? said Riches.

This lack of direct and profound involvement goes against the Charter of Rights, both experts agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough to eat, how can they be active citizens?

How can they be engaged politically? How can they be part of Canadian society?â&#x20AC;? said Klodawsky. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we need to have more conversations about the kind of society we want.â&#x20AC;?

People need to ask questions and push the issue, she said.

Canada has signed and ratiďŹ ed documents at the international level, promising to uphold several socioeconomic and cultural rights including the right to food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are not meeting their obligation under international law which of course was pointed out when the UN special rep visited Canada early last year,â&#x20AC;? said Riches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is profoundly unethical, but the further point is that it is unlawful because they are acting in domestic violation of their international obligation,â&#x20AC;? he added.â&#x20AC;? This is question of law as well as morality.â&#x20AC;?

Many current politicians tend to have the idea that food aid should be left to the marketplace, said Riches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are saving money,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course they want charities to fulďŹ ll this function. Charities are do-

ing it like in Victorian times then the government doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to raise the taxes, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to have sufďŹ cient taxes to insure we have the proper, adequate policies in place.â&#x20AC;?

Food banks have slowly been taken over by large charities as well as organizations. By bestowing the responsibility elsewhere, this allows government to look the other way instead of solving the issue, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; a sort of self-satisďŹ ed feeling in the community that food banks are working when all the evidence shows that they are not,â&#x20AC;? said Riches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In fact, only one in four people who are food insecure use food banks.â&#x20AC;?

Many people wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use the service because of the social stigma, the lack of nutritious quality in the food offered, the way they are treated, the lack of transportation and availability of food banks.

The food bank society is failing and politicians refuse to take action and they typically arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thinking about creating or altering programs that would help break the vicious circle of poverty, said Riches.

They need to address things such as affordable housing, national childcare, changes to some of the current income security programs, adequate welfare system, and higher living wages. This would stimulate the economy, but most current politicians donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem very interested in pursuing it, afďŹ rmed Riches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are political questions,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These not questions of charity.

They should not be left to charity.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because charity work is uncoordinated. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sort of a mishmash of services.â&#x20AC;?

Many corporations have taken on charity work. This allows them to be put in a positive light â&#x20AC;&#x153;as if they are good corporate citizens.â&#x20AC;? However their donations and charitable costs are built into their service fees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The food that you are purchasing in the stores youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already be

paid for the wasted food and surplus food,â&#x20AC;? said Riches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contained in the price structure. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually cheaper for the companies to give it away then to pay to put it in the dump.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is all part of marketing strategies,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about income making, proďŹ t strategies and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not talked about.â&#x20AC;?

From this, a secondary feeding system is created, providing substandard food to those in need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the issues we see around the world today are caused by the globalization of corporate interests,â&#x20AC;? said Riches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some would argue that it makes it very difďŹ cult for governments to act in a democratic way.â&#x20AC;?

Feeding people should not be left to corporations or charities, even the best intentioned ones, he said.

Food banks have become institutionalized â&#x20AC;&#x153;because people that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about food on a daily basis assume that food banks take care of the problem.â&#x20AC;?

Riches started researching the subject in the early 1980s during the recession. The social programs in place at the time were unable to meet the demands of those that were ďŹ nding themselves unemployed.

Food banks were created, as charitable organizations, to fulďŹ ll that gap. There are about 450 food banks afďŹ liated with Food Banks Canada and many more that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

They now serve close to 900,000 individuals per month with 93,000 people accessing it for the ďŹ rst time.

That number is increasing while donations are decreasing. In the Ottawa area alone, there are 44 organizations that provide food services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had charitable food banks in Canada since 1981 and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had 30 years of food banking and the problem is not going away,â&#x20AC;? said Riches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would say that the problem is getting more entrenched in terms of food insecurity and hunger.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a failure of government to acknowledge the problem as governments over time generally fail to acknowledge to the severity of problems of poverty and income insecurity,â&#x20AC;? he added. He hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen many changes over the years.

Historically the attitude of people towards the poor has been to force them back onto the workforce. Typically social services are tailored to be as painful as possible to encourage people to insure that â&#x20AC;&#x153;poverty becomes as difďŹ cult as possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of the day, people are forced by very strict welfare policies to prefer to work rather than be lazy, idle, indolent people that are not working,â&#x20AC;? said Riches.

The stereotype of the welfare mooch doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t apply to the vast majority. There may be some people that take advantage of social programs, but most are genuinely in need, said Riches. Most of the welfare issues are related to administrative error. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People actually cannot claim their full beneďŹ ts,â&#x20AC;? said Riches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really administrative error that is actually a critical problem in the welfare system.â&#x20AC;?

In general, people who are food insecure are employed. Considered the working poor, they just cannot cover their bills and put food on the table.

Many of them have children, with 38 per cent of food bank users being under the age of 18. Many others are retirees or people with disabilities.

The idea that charities and not the government should be in charge of feeding hungry Canadians will grind on as long as the public perception believes that it sustainable, said Riches.

There is a growing trend of people realizing that there must be an alternative way. Freedom 90 Union is such an organization. The groups of elderly volunteers have spent several decades helping out food banks and have seen it get worse.

They are pushing to close food banks, not out of malice or exhaustion, but because the system is not working. They want the government to ďŹ nd more sustainable solutions and eradicate the root of the problem: poverty and income inequality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think more people are beginning to question the facile kind of ideas that are being put out there. I hope there will be further, more informed discussions that raise more questions,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Klodawsky. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the promises made about what markets can do are being challenged. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are all sorts of things that are going on that contest the idea that everything should be about market and money in a very narrow sense,â&#x20AC;? she added.

There are organizations that are promoting alternative methods of accessing food such as Just Food and the Ottawa Good Food box which promote things like community gardens and easy access to food at a decent price.

11th annual Public Bible Proclamation Pastor Rose Leclaire of Sonbow Ministries opens the 11th annual Public Bible Proclamation July 26. She blows the shofar, made from an antelope’s horn, prior to a day-long reading of scripture at Renfrew’s O’Brien Park. “We’re hoping to see righteousness retrieved in communities, in families, in Renfrew County,” said Pastor Leclaire of the event that included simultaneous readings, to enable reading of the entire Bible that day. The event attracted participants from such towns as Calabogie, Ottawa, Richmond, Eganville, Renfrew and Alexandria. Others also provided support by reading scripture in their homes, including Pastor Leclaire’s 93-year-old mother, Helen Stroud. Behind the pastor, from left, are Diane Blenkiron, MP Cheryl Gallant who read the proclamation’s opening scripture (from the Old Testament Book of Joshua) and Nancy Provost.

Algonquin land claim – ongoing consultation efforts and next steps Robert Potts Principal Negotiator and Senior Legal Counsel for the Algonquins of Ontario

Opinion - Nearly 250 years ago, the Algonquins of Ontario (AOO) embarked on a journey of survival, rebuilding and self-sufficiency – a journey of reconciliation.

In search of a fair and equitable settlement of their outstanding claims, the AOO has remained united in our commitment to reach out and build relationships with our neighbours.

On Dec. 13, 2012 the negotiators for the AOO, Canada and Ontario took an unprecedented step in treaty negotiations with the release of the Preliminary Draft Agreementin-Principle (AIP) for public review.

It was determined that engagement in a wide range of consultation activities was essential in order to obtain feedback from Algonquin Voters, stakeholder groups, elected officials and the general public. Such efforts include: • A series of nine public information sessions hosted by the three negotiating parties which were attended by more than 2,000 people • Dozens of community meetings organized by the AOO for Algonquin Voters • Three forums hosted by the AOO for elected officials throughout the Settlement Area, including Members of Parliament, Members of the Provincial Parliament and municipal representatives • Over 125 meetings orga-

nized by Ontario with those who hold legal interests on Crown lands proposed for transfer or require access across those lands • Meetings to deal with questions or concerns raised by interested parties including cottage and property owner associations, municipal councils, adjacent landowners, ratepayers and others • Meetings with neighbouring Aboriginal groups • The publishing of the AOO Newsletter - Issues 1 and 2 (both available at www.tanakiwin.com/newsletter.htm) • Reviewing and responding to the hundreds of contacts that have been received by the negotiating parties through letters, emails and telephone calls • Various modifications to descriptive plans, specifically the plans and drawings describing the configuration, legal interests and acreage for each parcel of land As a result of these extensive consultations and the suggestions we have received, currently the AOO, Canada and Ontario are completing a comprehensive review of the content of the Preliminary Draft AIP and are engaged in further negotiations.

In the spirit of reconciliation, the AOO are committed to finding win-win solutions for Algonquins and our neighbours alike.

Consequently, each comment has been carefully considered and where necessary, revisions to the document are being negotiated by the three

parties. These changes will be reflected in the Draft AIP. Once a Draft AIP is reached, it is critical that the document is forwarded for ratification by the Algonquin voters. The text of the Draft AIP will be publicly available at least 60 days prior to the date of the ratification vote.

Should the Algonquins’ vote be in favour of the Draft AIP and the governments concur, it will serve as a non-binding framework for the negotiation of a final agreement.

These negotiations could take up to four to five years.

Ongoing consultation will continue to be integral to the negotiation process and it will take many different forms as we work towards reaching a settlement of this outstanding claim.

Throughout the negotiation process, the AOO have demonstrated continuously our willingness to work in partnership with our neighbours to reach a final agreement that is respectful and mutually beneficial.

As we move forward in this historic endeavor, together we will strengthen the social, economic and political fabric of Eastern Ontario for generations to come.

• This is the final in a series of columns providing insights into Algonquin history, the foundation for the land claim, elements of the Preliminary Draft AIP and next steps in the journey. Visit www.tanakiwin. com for more information.

IN MEMORIAM ADAMS, JANET LEE In loving memory of our mother Janet Lee Adams who passed away August 16, 2004.

August 16 Love your family CLR459287

The family of the late JOHN Ernest Charles Elliott, wishes to express our gratitude to ALL our friends and relatives during Dads illness and passing.

John fell ill in November and passed January 25th. It was a very turbulent time for us and the support we received from friends and family was overwhelmingly positive. The medical team led by Dr. Strader was top notch and extremely compassionate. Dr. Strader navigated us through this difficult time and we truly wouldn’t have managed without his kind guidance. For nurses everywhere and particularly those that dealt with pops, your job is difficult and yet you managed to keep dad comfortable and tended to.

John entered HOSPICE RENFREW on January 2nd and he thought he was in a 5 star hotel. Everything from the care, to the building and grounds, to the lovely volunteers made this experience bearable and very personal. Dad felt the love of his family supported by all his friends who called, brought food or visited with a smile. We are extremely proud that our hardworking, good father was able to be treated with the dignity he deserved.

Every time we returned to home base there were phone messages from around the world offering support, food left for us and the driveway clear from snow. We can not express enough gratitude to all as it gave us the opportunity to spend every moment with dad and precious memories were made not worrying about day to day life.

When John passed it ended a chapter in the Elliott book, and took the wind out of our sails. It was the love of our community that made it possible for us to continue. You all are so kind. Your expressions of flowers, food, donations to Hospice Renfrew and the Diabetes Association, prayers, hugs and masses was an overwhelming response and was a great comfort in those dark days.

Father Ryan Holly of Fatima Church gave Dad a beautiful funeral service, supporting our family in faith from HOSPICE forward. We truly need his guidance and he was ALWAYS available. Goulet’s Funeral Home prepared pops for his final journey and did so with class, grace and professionalism. Thank-You to Pat Maloney and choir, the pallbearers: Len and Bob Chamberlain, Wes Vanderpleog, Dave Tong, Michael John Rice, and Brennan Trainor, and the lovely “Lunch” ladies.

Dad worked hard in this life and to see all friends/ relatives be so kind….well, he was so blessed to have had you in his life. He commented that he was lucky.

I believe you reap what you sew. So from Dad to You “GOD BLESS and THANK YOU ALL!” Lovingly remembered and deeply missed, Anne, Jodi, Peter, Mary Leigh, Maeve, Charlotte and “Little” John.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never say goodbye I Cannot see you with my eyes Or hear you with my ears, But thoughts of you are with me still, And often dry my tears.

You whisper in the rustling leaves, That linger in the fall, And in the gentle evening breeze, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure I hear you call.

A part of you remains with me, That none can take away; It Gives me strength to carry on, At dawning of each day.

I think of happy times we shared, And then I softly sigh, But this I know-weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll meet again And never say good-bye.

There is no parting from the one I love no distance can divide For always in memories garden you are present by my side.

A light is from my lonely home a voice I love is stilled A place is vacant in his chair that no one else can ďŹ ll Each lonely night I wake up crying wishing you are here To hold me tightly in your arms and wipe away my tears.

A million tears will not bring you home I know because I cried And never will a million words I know because I tried your resting place I visit Put ďŹ&#x201A;owers there with care, but no one knows the heartache when I turn and leave you there.
