High-speed Internet the area’s new reality Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Thanks to investments of $55 million or more by the federal and provincial governments and the business sector, Eastern Ontario is quickly becoming more connected to the rest of the world.

The digital-communications world, that is, as officials gathered Aug. 22 at Bonnechere Manor in Renfrew to announce the anticipated conclusion to the Ottawa Valley North portion of the $170-million Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN) broadband program.

The Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus also contributed $10 million of municipal money to the project.

In 2010 construction began on EORN with the building of 160 access points and other infrastructure for fibre-optics cable.

At the time, only 250,000 residents in Eastern Ontario had dial-up Internet services. By the end of this year, 550,000 residents will have much faster Internet service.

Of those residents and businesses, 31,000 are located in what’s known as Ottawa Valley North. The zone spans

Lively time at Cobden Fair

more than 4,000 square kilometres in an area that includes the communities of Deep River, Petawawa, Pembroke, Renfrew and Arnprior.

In all of Renfrew County, nearly 22,000 households will have Internet speeds of at least 10 Mbps, another 12,825 will have speeds of 6-10 Mbps and 4,935 will have similar speeds through enhanced satellite packages.

For years, businesses and individuals have clamoured for higher-speed service. Among them is Wilderness Tours owner Joe Kowalski, who says the service will dramatically improve online business capacities for his whitewater rafting and kayaking company.

Among the advantages of EORN will be Wilderness Tours’ ability to do live streaming of the week-long 2015 freestyle kayak world championships it is hosting.

Following a history of unreliable Internet service, Wilderness Tours will now be able to invest heavily in an online reservation systems.

“I’m such a believer in this project,” said Kowalski.

“This is a game-changer for rural Ontario.”

Peterborough area’s Doug Leahy and Family wowed the crowd Saturday afternoon at the Cobden Fair. Fiddling, dancing and singing with his wife Jennifer and their six children, at one point all kids were stepdancing at the same time. It was as deafening as the gunfight at the O.K. Corral.

For more photos of the fair, see pages 5 and 13.

EORN project Continued from front

EORN will have completed fibre-optic Internet connections to seven business parks or clusters by late December.

Bell Aliant is building improved access to the Renfrew and Petawawa business parks, a Hwy 41/Hwy 17 cluster in Laurentian Valley, Barry’s Bay Business Park and Pine Grove Business Park in McNab-Braeside. And Cogeco TV is improving access for Whitewater Region business areas in the Grant Settlement and Greenwood roads area.

The reach and speed of ex-

isting DSL services have been expanded to provide download speeds of up to 15 Mbps through a fibre-optics cable network and new or improved access points made possible through the Eastern Ontario Regional Network project. In areas that cannot connect with the wired service, a satellite solution provides connectivity to speeds of up to 10 Mbps.

The entire project is helping to improve high-speed Internet throughout almost 50,000 square kilometres of Eastern Ontario, a region encompassing the counties of Hastings, Peterborough, Renfrew, Northumberland, Haliburton, Frontenac, Lanark, Prince Edward, Lennox and

Addington, the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, the United Counties of Prescott and Russell, the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, and the City of Kawartha Lakes.

Other speakers on hand for the Aug. 22 announcement were local MPP John Yakabuski; Ottawa-Orleans MPP MarieFrance Lalonde, who is parliamentary assistant to the minister for economic development, employment and infrastructure; Luke Barber, implementation manager for Bell Aliant; and Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon.

He went on to say that broadband not only promotes better business, health care, education and social services, but fa- *OTTAWA PICKUPS FOR ALL ADVERTISED TOURS* cilitates connections to research and expertise across the province and the globe.

“It’s been a four-year build, but we cover an area that’s larger than 100 countries,” said EORN co-lead Jim Pine, who’s also the Hastings County chief administrative officer.

The next project for EORN involves an analysis to determine how gaps in cellularphone coverage in the region R0012851769 can be eliminated.

McKay joins Greater Madawaska race for mayor Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News – There’s now an official race for mayor in Greater Madawaska Township.

Ward 1 Councillor Glenda McKay filed her nomination papers Aug. 15, as she joined the mayoral contest, whose only

previous candidate was former Coun. John Pratt.

Meanwhile, ward 1, which is represented by two councillors, has only two candidates – former council members Don Mercer and J.R. Easton.

Mayor Peter Emon has already announced he is not seeking re-election, an announce-

ment followed by his joining of the race for reeve in the Town of Renfrew.

If elected there, he would continue to occupy a position on county council, where he is in his second term as warden and hoping to occupy a third such term.

Greater Madawaska council

features one councillor each for wards 2 and 3, but as of Monday, Aug. 15, no candidates had filed in ward 2.

The incumbent is Bruno Kierczak who is not running in October’s municipal election.

In ward 3, the candidates to date are Mark Tomlin and Glen MacPherson.

New challenge for Horton mayor: now part of Renfrew’s mayoral race Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Don Eady didn’t know if he would overcome recent medical and physical challenges.

His first steps after having his cancerous right lung removed Jan. 13, 2013 were as difficult as any he has ever taken. He also didn’t know if he’d beat his battle with cancer.

But apparently he has, and he’s looking forward to a 15th year in municipal politics, just not on Horton council.

A former long-time owner of a Renfrew business, Draperies Plus, the mayor of Horton now wants to be mayor in Renfrew, where he is moving to shortly.

He’s one of four mayoral candidates, along with Callum Scott, Coun. Tom Anderson and Coun. Jim Miller.

Having lost 50 pounds since the surgery, Eady is now golfing and exercising regularly, and feeling the best he has in decades.

“At this stage of my life, I thought I would enjoy a change,” said Eady, 68, who grew up in Horton and attended Renfrew Collegiate Institute.

He then worked for various Renfrew County businesses in finances or product management, before owning his own business for 25 years.

14 YEARS ON COUNCIL

“My 14 years in Horton (politics) have been very fruitful. I have nothing but total respect for the people of the Township of Horton, but I also feel the Town of Renfrew has been a huge part of my life.”

Eady sees Renfrew’s potential to grow into something more substantial, with the help of shared services

and grants for Renfrew and surrounding municipalities.

“I don’t want to be negative, but Renfrew has the highest taxes in Renfrew County,” said Eady.

“I believe we have to look at all aspects of the town and hopefully find efficiencies to get things done, including improving the roads.”

If elected, he says he’d keep councillors on committees for the full term to enhance their learning curve and familiarity with committee matters.

Also, he says he has heard too many negatives about Renfrew when there are huge positives, like physician recruitment and a fantastic downtown core that can be even better.

Politics has enriched his life, but Eady says his family has too, especially his six grandchildren because of their sense of humour and honesty.

Don Eady, the mayor of Horton Township, is now competing for the job of mayor of Renfrew.

Sidney 11th candidate for Renfrew councillor News - Tom Sidney is the 11th candidate to join the race for councillor in Renfrew’s October municipal election.

The heavy turnout, says Sidney, strongly suggests the public is dissatisfied with the present council’s performance.

Sidney says the high interest says, “People are getting tired of the old ways. Not a lot is changing, and there needs to be some new vision, new blood and different experiences from different areas.”

Sidney, 40, says he has no official political experience, but you have to start somewhere.

“I want the opportunity to get more experience,” says Sidney, who is director of the Renfrew County Suicide and Crisis Prevention Centre.

He also says council needs help

improving its level of transparency and that he’s interested in facilitating that process.

He says he’s also proud of his community, but that he wants to see it make progressive steps as it gains prominence as both a gateway to cottage country and a retirement destination.

Sidney was scheduled to file his nomination papers yesterday (Aug. 27).

Renfrew council consists of a mayor, reeve and five councillors, of which only one is seeking re-election as councillor.

That is Clint McWhirter, while councillors Tom Anderson and Jim Miller are after the mayor’s job and Mayor Bill Ringrose is seeking a berth as councillor.

SEVERAL CANDIDATES

To date, the other candidates for

councillor are Robert Debeau, Zenaida Raboy, Gregory Lewis, Arlene Jamieson, Jeff Taylor, Donna Falcon, Doug Brookes and Kate Windle.

Windle was a candidate for reeve, but the two-time councillor altered course after Peter Emon filed his nomination papers for reeve. The other candidate for reeve is veteran incumbent Audrey Green.

FIRST COUNCILLOR FILINGS IN HORTON

In contrast, at the start of this week, only two candidates (Lane Cleroux and Bob Johnston) had joined the councillors’ race in Horton.

Present councillors Bob Kingsbury and Margaret Whyte are running for mayor. Coun. Jamey Larone is not running again, while colleague Glen Campbell has yet to announce his intentions. Horton council consists of a mayor and four councillors.

Surgery for Admaston-Bromley mayor, then election decision Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News – Entering the hospital isn’t a new thing for Raye-Anne Briscoe, who has won her battle with breast cancer and had hip and knee replacements.

But she’s hoping the most recent surgery, scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 26, will leave her more mobile and energetic.

The veteran Admaston-Bromley mayor, who limped slowly into the council chambers for last Thursday’s council meeting, says she’ll make a

Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News – Based on what they’ve heard so far, most rural municipalities aren’t expecting any favours when the new and finalized OPP funding formula is released in January 2015.

Admaston-Bromley Township, for example, could see its annual policing bill nearly double to $400,000.

But that hasn’t stopped Mayor RayeAnne Briscoe and her councillors from criticizing the provincial thinking behind the much-anticipated new formula.

Admaston-Bromley council members didn’t attend the recent Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference in London, but information updates provided afterwards don’t give the local council members much reason to smile.

The local council sees the anticipated formula as an unbalanced approach that appears headed toward having rural municipalities with very little crime still shouldering a substantial part of base service costs.

“I’m tired of being negative … but we’ll see how it plays out,” said Mayor Briscoe at the Aug. 21 meeting of Admaston-Bromley council.

In contrast, an Ontario government news release Aug. 14, just prior to the Aug. 17-18 AMO conference, announced that OPP was “introducing a fairer, more transparent billing model” for Ontario municipalities.

The new model, which takes effect Jan. 1, features two major components: base policing costs such as crime prevention, proactive policing, officer training and administrative duties that will account for about 60 per cent of the bill; and reactive calls,

which will account for about 40 per cent.

Whether rural municipalities have high or low crime rates (and Admaston-Bromley has very little crime), Briscoe says they’re going to end up subsidizing policing costs for urban municipalities.

The new model will be phased in over five years, said the government announcement, to allow municipalities to adjust their budgets.

It will be a major adjustment for many rural municipalities. Haliburton County will, for example, see its annual policing jump from $3.3 million to $6.5 million after five years, says Haliburton County Warden Dave Burton.

The current billing model has not been updated for 17 years.

“I hope, when I hear the full reports, that some people on the floor (at the AMO conference) said that the basis of this (new) formula is wrongheaded,” said Briscoe.

“Sixty per cent (for base costs) for everyone across the province is not customizing a service to the needs of the community it is expected to serve.”

Admaston-Bromley has an almost zero crime rate, says Briscoe.

“You tell me that we require the same basic service and same costs per property as a community with a much higher crime rate, and you tell me that’s fair, we’ll have to have a long, hard discussion about that.”

Recent estimates suggest other local rural municipalities will also face large jumps in their police budget, while more urban communities, such as Renfrew, will likely see their police costs drop.

knee replaced. In August 2013 she had a left hip replacement.

“Unfortunately, while doing physiotherapy in the hospital,” she says of the hip surgery, “a large bone in my leg broke, and I spent seven weeks in the hospital.

“Since then, I have done all the

physio that I could possibly do, built up the muscles, but now that particular knee couldn’t stand what it went through, so now I need a (new) left knee.”

She’s expected to be in the Ottawa Hospital for three days, and back to council business within two weeks.

4-H members learn joys of lawn bowling Community - In 4-H, there is so much to experience, so much to learn, and so much to do.

The leaders of the Renfrew County 4-H club strive to create new, confidence-boosting learning experiences for the youth in rural Renfrew County.

Learning experiences where everyone is on equal footing and all participants can have fun mastering something new together are the best and, with that criteria in mind, the Renfrew County 4-H club said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s try something different â&#x20AC;&#x201C; letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s try lawn bowling.â&#x20AC;?

Twelve 4-H club youth with the lawn bowling coaches on the Galetta Bowls green.

And that is how, on the evening of Friday, Aug. 8, 12 youth ages 6 to 16 and a handful of parents, along with 4-H leader Agatha Crogie, visited Galetta Bowls to

learn how to lawn bowl and have some fun.

All participants caught on quickly to the skills of bowls and it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long before their competitive spirits surfaced and teams had fun trying to out-bowl their 4-H club-mates.

One 4-H youth summed up his experience of trying lawn bowls with, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lawn bowls is fun, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competitive and enjoyable.â&#x20AC;? That says it all.

Galetta Bowls welcomes youth to come out and give bowls a try. For competitive youth there are opportunities to compete at the district, provincial and national levels and for youth who prefer the sheer joy of social bowling thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lots of opportunity at Galetta Bowls to have fun lawn bowling.

To arrange a time to come out and try lawn bowls, call 613-622-1586 or 613-6232852.

OPINION

Connected to your community

EDITORIAL

Stop for the school buses Parents across the city are breathing a collective sigh of relief, as the final days tick off the calendar announcing the start of the school year.

Starting on Tuesday, Sept. 2, tens of thousands of children will flood Ottawa Valley streets, returning to school on foot or by car or bus.

Motorists will begin seeing a lot of yellow starting next week. Most schools welcome students back the day after Labour Day, Sept. 1, but the French public and Catholic boards open a week earlier.

The colour yellow in motoristâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s language always translates to one word: caution.

Motorists must keep their eyes open for children waiting on street corners.

Kids will be kids, which usually means they are in constant motion.

We must always remember the first rule of defensive driving: expect the unexpected.

Children tend to offer a lot of unexpected behaviour, which occasionally involves a mad dash across the street chasing a ball or friend waiting at a bus stop.

Motorists would do well to drive a little more slowly the first few weeks of September.

They might also want to reacquaint themselves with the rules of driving when approaching a stopped school bus with its lights flashing.

The flashing lights mean cars must come to a halt to allow children to board the bus.

It also allows children and parents to safely cross the street.

By law, traffic in both directions must stop anytime a school bus is stopped with its overhead alternating signal lights flashing.

If the danger of hitting a child with your vehicle isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reason enough, failing to stop for a school bus can result in fines up to $2,000 upon conviction and six demerit points given to a motoristâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only for a first conviction.

Each subsequent offence can result in fines as high as $4,000 together with six demerit points and possible imprisonment for up to six months.

Staying alert while behind the wheel and being aware of the rules of the road governing school buses is everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all winners if we educate ourselves about the rules of the road and school bus safety.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Rebuttal to Stefan Klietschâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condemnation of supply management To the editor: Opinion - I am writing in response to an opinion expressed in the August 21st Mercury.

The writer was condemning the supply management system that both producers and consumers are fortunate enough to have here in Canada. He referred to the dairy industry as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;racketâ&#x20AC;? filled with â&#x20AC;&#x153;elitesâ&#x20AC;? that â&#x20AC;&#x153;bought off all national partiesâ&#x20AC;? with â&#x20AC;&#x153;propaganda spendingâ&#x20AC;?.

Those are alarmist words meant to inflame tempers and incite fear. Just who is the snake oil salesman, I ask?

To clarify, supply management is not just a racket for the dairy industry. It also manages production of broiler chickens, eggs, and turkey. This system is based on a cost of production formula that is re-figured annually, and has farmers producing what the market requires, thereby stabilizing price for both consumers

and producers. (It should be noted that farm animals do not have â&#x20AC;&#x153;offâ&#x20AC;? buttons that can be flipped when the supply outweighs the demand. The animals will produce whether there is a market for them or not. We cannot stockpile fluid milk, or poultry, for that matter while waiting for the next market upswing.)

The author touts tariff amounts on foreign dairy products at two to 30 per cent, then explains them as hidden taxes that insulate our producers against cheaper and more cost-effective competition. (If I am not mistaken, the Canadian government imposes tariffs on a multitude of imports, all with the idea of protecting Canadian industry.)

The competition, often from dairy producers in the USA, are heavily subsidized by the government. Government subsidies, interestingly enough, come from taxes that citizens pay, re-

gardless of what they eat or drink. These subsidies are handed out because their un-regulated system creates a financial burden on producers due to unpredictable prices, and often they are often producing at or below their cost. Without these subsidies, many farmers are forced to close their gates. The Australian dairy industry did indeed phase out their supply management system, and farmers noted that their price per litre went from 57 cents to 42 cents almost overnight.

As of 2013, Aussie dairies are producing milk at approximately 43 cents per litre, then selling it for approximately 25-26 cents per litre. Dairy exports did increase for Australia after de-regulation, but overall production has slowed, and farm numbers have decreased from approximately 12,000 ten years ago to just 6,700 in 2012.

Quota was mentioned, and regarded with a sneer. It was seen as a boon to the wealthy, and a block to the poor of farming. According to the letter, farmers of â&#x20AC;&#x153;humbleâ&#x20AC;? backgrounds are unable to purchase quota to expand, and anyone wishing to buy into the system from â&#x20AC;&#x153;outsideâ&#x20AC;? are unable to do so. Again, I must clarify: Each farmer is required to hold quota to produce. In the instance of dairy, the cost of quota has been capped in Ontario at $25,000 per kilogram since 2008, not the $30+ thousand that was mentioned.

Also, producers are able to bid on quota monthly, based on a percentage of their holdings. Typically, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s limited quota available on this exchange, and in many instances the more â&#x20AC;&#x153;humbleâ&#x20AC;? farms that bid, receive a larger percentage than the â&#x20AC;&#x153;wealthyâ&#x20AC;? farms that bid.

laws prevent us from using unnatural hormones or steroids in livestock production, whether it is covered by supply management or not.

Canadian agriculture standards are high when it comes to animal welfare, and higher when it comes to human welfare.

‘RIGOROUS TESTING’

We have rigorous testing in place to assure no harmful antibiotic residues or hormones are on store shelves.

We have codes of practice, and quality assurance measures in place to be certain nothing but the best and safest product we can pro-

duce is being sold to our fellow Canadians.

We have no such guarantee from foreign products.

So supply management brings their price in line with ours, by means of tariffs, and the consumer gets to decide whether they want to support Canadian industry and purchase safe, quality products at an affordable price, or purchase foreign product.

Sort of like the whole “buy local” movement that has wonderfully flowed across the province.

I am not an economist, and I freely admit that math is not my strong suit. Either is politics.

But I do know that when

something isn’t broken, or still serves a purpose, you don’t throw it out.

Supply management is not a perfect system.

Even those that produce within it’s hallowed boundaries often feel that there is room for change, expansion.

But to completely scrap a working system that benefits both producers and consumers in favour of unstable, rockbottom wholesale prices that put producers out of business or send them begging for government handouts sure doesn’t sound like sound economics or mathematics to me.

HYDRANT FLUSHING NOTICE Residents of Beachburg Please be advised that hydrant flushing will commence in Beachburg beginning September 8th, 2014 and will likely be complete on September 12th, 2014 Flushing will continue over the one (1) week period as part of a routine maintenance program that is necessary to maintain the integrity of the water system, remove sediment from water mains, verify the proper operation of hydrants and valves, and maintain fire fighting capability.

Residents throughout Beachburg may experience a drop in water pressure and water may be rusty or cloudy due to flushing of the distribution system.

If you have rust-colored water please run your COLD WATER TAPS ONLY (suggested taps: bathtub or laundry tub) until the water is clear. Please DO NOT use your hot water until you have clean running water again.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

If you have any questions, please contact Steven Hodson at (613) 646-2282 or (613) 635-1517.

As for people interested in buying into this “racket” being blocked, that is also another fallacy.

The Dairy Farmers of Ontario have a New Entrant Quota Assistance Program that was brought about to encourage new producers and welcome them into the industry.

Up to 10 applicants can start up per year, and DFO assigns up to 12 kilograms of quota per applicant. Of course, as with any startup, a sound business plan is required, and the initial purchase of land, cattle, equip-

ment and feed must be in the works, or completed.

This has to be approved by a bank, which we all know, enjoys making money. So quite often, quota is an asset that guarantees farms will make money to pay the bills. Banks look favourably on bills being paid.

So do business owners.

The letter also claimed that supply management spews propaganda about protecting the consumer from unwanted hormones found in foreign product.

That’s not propaganda. That’s fact.

Canadian consumers have made it crystal clear that they want safe, affordable, quality product. Our government

10 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, August 28, 2014

Reaction mixed to new Ontario Provincial Police costing formula News – City and town residents will be happy; rural residents not so much.

That’s the upshot of a new model for Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) costing announced last week to take effect Jan. 1, 2015.

The provincial government is touting the new model as fairer, more transparent and easier to understand. However, rural politicians and residents understand one main thing. Their costs for policing are going to rise, and in some cases substantially.

Hardest hit in the new formula are rural townships with large numbers of cottages, as the new billing will be based on households, both permanent and seasonal.

About two-thirds of the 324 Ontario municipalities serviced by the OPP will see their costs rise.

The blow has been cushioned somewhat as the government has decided to phase in the new model for up to five years “to allow municipalities time to adjust their budgets.”

Politicians in towns such as Arnprior argue that their residents have been paying an un-

fairly disproportionate portion of OPP costing for at least 17 years, so the new model is long overdue.

Arnprior Mayor David Reid has been among those on the forefront of pushing for a “fairer” billing model for municipalities the OPP serves across the province.

“I think what the province is doing is right, is heading in the right direction,” Reid said Tuesday in phone interview from the Association of Ontario Municipalities conference.

“The only disappointment is the five-year phase in. That’s the tough pill to swallow.” He said the changes will save the town hundreds of thousands of dollars annually, but he won’t have exact numbers until September.

In a news release, the provincial government says the new model reflects lobbying from the Auditor General and municipalities to more fairly and transparently distribute policing costs.

It explains the model includes two components: base policing costs such as crime prevention, proactive policing, officer training and administrative duties, and cost for reactive calls for service. Base policing will ac-

count for about 60 per cent of the bill; reactive calls will account for about 40 per cent.

“This eliminates the large differences in the amounts municipalities were charged and provides municipalities with better data so they can understand the types of calls for police service in their community and direct crime prevention strategies,” says the government release.

While the new model doesn’t directly tackle rapidly rising police costs fueled by a major salary boost for officers, the government points out that the average per property cost for OPP services in 2015 is estimated to be $355, compared to an average of $787 estimated for self-policed municipalities (the estimated costing of policing in Ottawa is $700 a household).

“The new billing model is a positive step toward achieving greater equity and transparency in OPP municipal policing costrecovery,” said OPP Commissioner Vince Hawkes.

“It will address concerns brought forward by the Auditor General of Ontario and many of our municipalities. We are moving in the right direction with this model.”

Meanwhile, the Progres-

sive Conservative Opposition is complaining the government announcement leaves out crucial details on how much the new model will actually cost municipalities and which of the four cost-splitting options the province has chosen from alternatives developed by the Association of Municipalities of Ontario.

The PCs note an auditorgeneral’s report in 2012 pointed out that OPP spending had risen 27 per cent over five years, even though crime and car crashes in OPP-patrolled territory had fallen and calls has remained steady.

The current OPP billing model was introduced in 1998 and has not been updated in 17 years.

McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell could not be reached for comment this week.

However, during discussion of policing costs at the July 15 township council meeting she noted that Deep River council had suggested Renfrew county municipalities look into the viability of a regional police force.

She said County council was supportive of looking into the matter but there is a question over whether it should take a

Motorcycle deaths headed for seven-year high, says OPP News - With 26 motorcycle fatalities on record so far this year and at least two more months of the motorcycle season remaining, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is concerned that 2014 motorcycle deaths could reach a seven-year high.

Twenty-five motorcyclists and one passenger have died in motorcycle crashes within

Campbell said so far the more urban areas have been dominating the issue with their lobbying of the province for changes. “I would hope we’d have a rural discussion too,” she said.

leading role. No matter what, there will be an urban-rural divide on the issue, she noted.

Coun. Brad McIlquham said that 14 of the 19 area municipalities are in the same boat as McNab-Braeside in that they will be paying more under the new formula, while the other

Ema Lee Fashions: 11 years and counting

It was a hot June night in 2002 and everything was quiet in the small hamlet of Balderson. No one knew that in one house, there was a deal going down!

Two men sat facing each other at the kitchen table in Mr. George Myers’ home.

The conversation was quick and right to the point. Would Mr. Myers sell his old general store or not? That was the question.

The sun was going down. The clocks on his wall ticked to their own tock.

The silence had been broken. Finally a deal had been made on the back of a cigarette pack.

The transformation began on the old general store and eleven years later Ema Lee Fashions is still a thriving, successful business.

It is located seven kilometers north of Perth on Hwy 511 and open seven days a week.

Gerry McSweeney and Emily Desjardine had no idea that the business would become such a huge success. “We are known all over for being the largest ladies clothing store in the Ottawa Valley and for being a destination shopping spot” Desjardine said.

“The store is also known for it’s plethora of ladies apparel, swim suits, purses and men’s shirts”.

The solution is simple: ride and drive within the law”, said OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair, Provincial Commander, Traffic Safety and Operational Support.

The following data reflect motorcycle fatalities within OPP jurisdiction.

Myth: Young, inexperienced motorcyclists are the most vulnerable, atrisk riders and account for the largest number of victims who die in motorcycle crashes in Ontario.

Fact: From 2008 to 2014 (as of Aug. 18), only 16 of the 175 motorcyclists who have died on Ontario roads were under the age of 25. The age group with the highest rate of fatality is the 45-54 year group, which comprises 48 of the 175 victims. The second highest age group is the 55-64 year group, with 39 victims in that category. Combined, these two age groups account for almost half of the fatalities (87) Myth: Those who die in motorcycle crashes are doing something wrong at the time of the incident. Like other drivers, motorcyclists can avoid crashes if they drive properly and within the law.

Fact: Between 2008 and 2014, for 50 of the 175 motorcycle victims, the driver of the motorcycle was driving properly at the time. Far too often, the actions of another driver are a causal factor in motorcycle crashes. Motorcycles are much harder to see than other vehicles. As a rider, it is important to wear high visibility equipment and put yourself in the proper lane positioning to increase your chances of being seen by other motorists. As a motorist sharing the road with motorcyclists, you need to maintain a keen awareness of your surroundings and always be on watch for motorcycles, especially in blind spots before changing lanes.

Myth: Motorcyclists are at far greater risk of crashing when riding on wet roads.

Fact: While true that riding on wet roads places an additional risk on riders, 158 of the 175 motorcyclists who have died between 2008 and Aug. 18 were riding on dry roads.

Other facts relating to the 175 OPPinvestigated motorcycle fatalities from 2008 to 2014 (as of Aug. 18): • 168 of the victims were the driver, seven were passengers.

• 156 of the victims were men, 19 were women.

Top contributing factors (on the part of the motorcyclist and/or other driver(s) involved in the collision): • Speed: Factor in 43 of the deaths.

• Lost Control: Factor in 29 of the deaths.

• Alcohol: Factor in 21 of the deaths.

• Fail to Yield: Factor in 20 of the deaths.

• Inattention: Factor in 18 of the deaths.

Mary had many opportunities for character building Lifestyle - Mother called it character building. My sister Audrey had another name for it, which she told me not to repeat in front of Mother.

Every time I asked for something as simple as new hair ribbons and Mother reminded me there was a Depression on, and no money for frivolities, she called it character building.

When bad Marguirite did something nasty to me, Mother called it character building. When my brother Emerson did me some dastardly deed, Mother called it character building.

I figured I had enough character building in the 30s to last me into the next century!

And so it was when the old aunt who appeared unannounced at least twice a year, and Audrey and I had to give up our bed upstairs, and sleep on the narrow creton couch in the kitchen, foot to foot...Mother called it character building.

The summer was beastly hot that year. The upstairs was like an oven. Even with the windows wide open in the boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room and the hall, the little breeze did little to cool it off. And when Auntie arrived, she went right upstairs like she owned the place, and put her tapestry bag on the chair and laid claim to the bed Audrey and I shared. We were doomed for the

creton couch in the kitchen.

Apart from the narrowness of the couch, sleeping in the kitchen was not a hardship in the summer, because the Findlay Oval had already been moved to the summer kitchen, quilts hung on the windows in the daytime to keep the sun out, and the kitchen became the coolest room in the house. It was the narrow couch that was the bane of our existence.

Out in the summer kitchen was an old wire couch. The kind where one part sat on top of the other when it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in use, but when pulled apart became a double bed. Moving the cook stove to the summer kitchen, left one wall bare, and Audrey asked Mother why the old wire couch couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be moved into the regular

kitchen for Audrey and me.

Mother hardly gave the idea a momentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consideration (she was busy cooking dandelion greens, a favourite dish of Auntyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s), and said she saw no reason at all why the couch couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be moved into the main kitchen. The boys could do that little chore when they came in for supper.

After Audrey and I had redded up the kitchen, the three brothers dragged the wire couch into the coolest room in the house, and we hauled in the thin felt fold-over mattress. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even bother with sheets, so glad were we to have someplace to sleep other than the narrow creton couch! And a cool place at that!

The walls of that old house were paper thin.

And before we fell asleep, Audrey and I heard Aunty get up several times to use the chamber pot, walk across the floor to the window, and let out long and purposeful sighs.

She also had the habit of talking to herself...almost whispers, but loud enough that we could hear her from our couch downstairs.

I

The The Renfrew Mercury published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whew..hot...boy...whew,â&#x20AC;? we heard long into the night.

When Aunty came downstairs in the morning, she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look at all happy. The house had been cleared of Father and the boys, and Mother was bustling around the kitchen, already thinking of the next meal for the table.

Aunty was in the same long black dress she came in. The only thing that was missing was the starched white collar and the bonnet. And she was fanning herself with a copy of the Renfrew Mercury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sure is hot upstairs,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not a bit of air anywhere...hardly slept a wink.â&#x20AC;?

Mother, Audrey and me were in the summer kitchen getting into the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work. Audrey who was already clearing up the breakfast dishes, and setting out the dish pan of hot soapy water on the table, while Mother bustled about filling a soup bowl with porridge for Aunty, gave me a poke while passing me, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give you a nickel if you tell Aunty thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we call character building in this here house.â&#x20AC;?

Dawn Tyler Watson and Ben Racine drew rave reviews with their performance Sunday, Aug. 17.

Veteran bluesman Jimmie Vaughan was the headliner at the Calabogie Bluesfest/Ribfest on Saturday, Aug. 16. His performance was followed by fireworks, which Vaughan is reported to have praised as the best he’s ever seen. The fireworks went ahead despite the soggy conditions that limited walk-in crowds Saturday, but didn’t dampen the spirits of festival-goers who were at Calabogie Peaks for all three days.

Rock, ribs and more at Calabogie The crowd at Calabogie Peaks didn’t take long to get into the spirit of the Calabogie Bluesfest/Ribfest, as John Wong and the 24th Street Wailers (photo far left) started things off with a rousing session Friday, Aug. 15.

Classic Canadian rocker David Wilcox – ‘Layin’ Pipe’ and ‘Riverboat Fantasy’ – rocks the crowd at the event.

JUSTACLICK ON STAGE PHOTOGRAPHY

Canadian rock and roll music icon Kim Mitchell performs at the Renfrew Fair Sept. 6. mer over the past five years, and a lot last winter. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken some time off this summer.â&#x20AC;?

Mitchell, who calls himself a â&#x20AC;&#x153;track junkyâ&#x20AC;? will be using some down time to go to California and get in some speed action behind the wheel.

Ten years ago, Mitchell joined the on-air staff of radio station Q107 in Toronto from

2 to 6 p.m., something he has enjoyed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes me a bit of extra gas money. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so expensive now, I had to take a second job,â&#x20AC;? Mitchell quipped.

Mitchell, who has a tour to Albert and Saskatchewan coming up before the Renfrew Fair, said the response he gets from stops in this area are good.

HAVING FUN

Mitchell is quick to point out, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about looking at a wall of photos and awards, but what he can do, and enjoy, today.

He noted, while the Max Webster days were good, the main highlights of his career followed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I actually became more successful after the Max Webster days,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was not the way I planned it.â&#x20AC;?

Mitchell has maintained a busy touring schedule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I played a lot in the sum-

News - A Canadian icon of classic rock will be performing at the Renfrew Fair this year.

Kim Mitchell will be in front of the grandstand on the Saturday night, Sept. 6 at 8 p.m..

Mitchell has sang previously in Renfrew, during the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 150th anniversary year of 2008 at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

The 62-year-old native of Sarnia is recording a new untitled album, due for release this year.

2014 also marks the 30th anniversary of Akimbo Alogo, his debut solo album.

Long-time hits Rock N Roll Duty, I Am A Wild Party, Patio Lanterns, Go For A Soda, Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Hold, plus many of his Max Webster songs will bring back memories for Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legions of fans.

The singer-songwriter has achieved gold and multiplatinum status over a long and storied career, starting early on as leader of the musically eclectic Max Webster, a band who in the late 1970s defined alternative and independent long before the words became clichĂŠs.

Mitchell has sold more than 1.5 million recordings over a lengthy solo career that followed and remains creatively vibrant to this day. Along the way he won three Juno Awards for Most Promising Male Vocalist of the Year, Album of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year.

Parking restrictions at Renfrew Fair

Jordan McIntosh brings his country to the Renfrew Fair stage Sept. 5 Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

News - Ottawa Valley country music fans can look forward to grandstand entertainment at the upcoming Renfrew Fair.

Popular country music sensation Jordan McIntosh of Carleton Place will be on stage Friday, Sept. 5 at 8 p.m.

McIntosh is fresh off the releasing of his latest single, Grew Up in a Country Song, on June 10, 2013.

“It’s about Carleton Place,” the 18year-old said of the hit.

“It’s about where I grew up, and this makes it even more special. I will never forget where I came from, and no matter where my career takes me, I will always return.”

Grew Up in a Country Song, along with many other of McIntosh songs, was recorded in Nashville,

McIntosh certainly isn’t unfamiliar with performing in the Valley. He was among the top entertainers at the Calabogie Country Music Festival in June of last year.

McIntosh credits sister Melissa with steering his career in this direction.

“My entire family is musical, but I idolized my sister,” he explains on his website.

“She started to sing before I did and, being younger, I wanted to do everything she did. That’s how I found out I could sing. I never really studied music. I just sang all the time. I know there’s a one in a million chance that you can make a career of your ability to sing. That’s always kept me focused, but I couldn’t do any of this without my family.”

News - Due to safety concerns of all riders and exhibitors, there will be no parking on the Renfrew fairgrounds from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 6.

There will be parking for the handicap and exhibitors only.

While we recognize that this may be an inconvenience, we are doing this to ensure that none of our exhibitors are put in a risky situation between a horse and car and to also make sure that should we need an ambulance to get in quickly, this can be accomplished in a timely manner.

Thank you for understanding!

who passed away on August 28, 2012; As we look upon your picture Sweet memories we recall, Of a face so full of sunshine, A smile for one and all.

Though your smile has gone forever And your hand we cannot hold, We shall never lose our memories, Of the one we loved so much.

We miss you so much; Love and remembrance lasts forever: Love James & Hilda

The moment that you died, Our hearts split in two, The one side ďŹ lled with memories, The other died with you.

We often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon our cheeks.

Remembering you is easy, We do it every day, But missing you is a heartache, That never goes away.

We hold you tightly within our hearts And there you will remain, Life has gone on without you, But it will never be the same.

For those who still have their moms, Treat her with tender care, You will never know the emptiness, As when you turn and she is not there.

Love forever Gerald, Donna & family Jerry, Bev & family

It is with utmost sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved Colleen.

Surrounded by Ronnie, Sarah and Jake on Saturday August 23rd, 2014. Loving wife and best friend of Ronnie. Devoted mother of Sarah and Jake. Born on St. Patrick’s Day, 1963, Colleen was the middle daughter of Patrick Valiquette and the late Shirley (nee Davidson) of the Opeongo Line. Beloved sister of John (Donna) Cormac, Mark (Colleen) Peterborough, Mary (Emile Emond) Arnprior, Paddy (Leah) Stirling, Rachel (Bill Pettigrew) Renfrew. Fondly remembered by many Aunts, Uncles, nieces nephews and cousins.

Colleen was a woman of many talents and had a strong abiding faith from which she always drew comfort. She had a knack for making everyone she met feel special. Colleen enjoyed a childhood full of fun, work and wonder: from – working in the hay, pretend weddings with her sisters Mary and Ray up the old road, fireworks in the front yard, huge games of baseball and ball hockey with the O’Briens, Aubreys, Davidsons and many other neighbours, trips to Lake Clear, endless berry picking, Sunday mass with a picnic to follow at the Dacre turn or NewFoundout, treats at Breens store, and all 6 kids being packed into a car in the dead of winter to spend Christmas with Granny and Grampy Davidson and their clan up in Kapuskasing. Then one day, on the school bus, a tall handsome boy caught Colleen’s attention and her Irish eyes have been smiling ever since. On any given day, a visit to their home, meant you’d likely hear Ronnie on the guitar accompanying Colleen with her beautiful voice. Along with her beautiful voice, her Irish wit and kindly nature, it was surely a home abound with music, love and laughter – not to mention the smell of homemade bread coming from the kitchen and a fresh tin of buttertarts cooling on the rack. It was here, just a stone’s throw from where she was raised, in the home they built together (often with a new project underway) that Colleen was happiest. Her plans for the day would often include a 4-Wheeler ride to the camp in the mountains she loved. Making her happiness complete were her most precious possessions, Sarah and Jake, of whom she was so very proud.

A celebration of Colleen’s life will be held on Saturday August 30th at 11 a.m. at St. Josephs Catholic Church, Esmonde, on the Opeongo Line. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Renfrew Victoria Hospital, Oncology Unit would be appreciated.

We love you Cause. You done good.

Ultimate Cowboy Obstacle Race featured at Renfrew Fair Renfrew Agricultural Society

Community - The 160th Renfrew Fair will host the Ultimate Cowboy Obstacle Race on Sunday, Sept. 7, commencing at 11 a.m. This is a new event for the fair and we are eagerly awaiting the show.

Ultimate Cowboy Race is an all breed multifaceted equestrian sport that requires both the horse and the rider to demonstrate both speed

and horsemanship over obstacles not normally associated with a trail class.

The vast majority of obstacles that the rider will encounter in a cowboy race are challenges they would face while on a trail ride or daily work on a ranch.

No specialized training is required, and horses of all breeds and all ages with little or no specialized training are encouraged to par-

Donna Whitmore Cricket’s Canine Country Club

Community - The Cricket’s Hotdogger Canine All Stars are teams of handlers, all students of Cricket’s Canine Country Club, and, of course, their very talented dogs.

We offer a variety-type show which is both educational and entertaining.

Our shows are choreographed to music, and showcase events such as getting started with your dog, tricks, agility, Frisbee, musical freestyle [or dancing], a precision obedience drill set to music, as well as some fun ca-

nine games. Our goal is to inform the public about motivational ways of working with their family pets, that positive reinforcement does not mean permissive and that training can and should be fun.

It’s all about building a bond and relationship with your dog.

One of the main purposes of the demo show is to show people how to have fun with their dogs.

Come and watch the HOTDOGGER Canine All Stars in action at the Renfrew Fair!

Show times are Saturday, Sept. 6 at 2 and 4 p.m.

ticipate. Two of the primary purposes of the sport is to have fun with your horse and improve your horsemanship at the same time.

A cowboy race is an event that challenges both horse and rider to maneuver through a series of obstacles demonstrating both horsemanhip and speed. Western tack and clothes are required. Scoring is done by awarding points from a 0 to a 10 and each obstacle is rated from

a one to a 6. Points are awarded on the approach to the obstacle, the obstacle itself and the departure from the obstacle.

So come out, and encourage the rides on.

Spectators are encouraged to participate by helping the riders maneuver through the course, and of course music makes this a fun sport for both competitor and spectator.

Viking volleyball camp attracts 40 youth in buildup to season Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Sports - Dave Dobson has been involved in elite volleyball for decades, but his retirement from teaching a decade ago hasn’t left him far from the game.

After leaving the Greater Toronto Area to live in Cobden in 2006, the six-time Ontario college coach of the year has been working with coaches in and outside the Upper Ottawa Valley to develop an elite volleyball club.

Last season, the Upper Ottawa Valley Vikings Volleyball Club was born, with three age-group teams, and this season the plan is to have as many eight boys or girls teams in the 14-18 age bracket.

“My goal is to make the Upper Ottawa Valley a hotbed for volleyball,” says Dobson during a break in action during the Aug. 14-18 Vikings camp at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School in Renfrew. He also coached Clarke High School (Newcastle) to single-A and double-A gold medals at the Ontario high school championships in the 1980s.

Dobson, who attended Opeongo High School in the 1970s, is proud to

say he has coached three athletes who went on to be Canadian volleyball Olympians Steve Brinkman, Dustin Reid and Chris Wolfenden.

Joining him as coaches for the camp were Renfrew County coaches Bernie Sul, Ross Smith, Brennan Trainor of St. Joe’s and Dan Sloan of Fellowes High School in Pembroke, Pontiac and former Newfoundland provincial coach Gerald Wheeler, Trent University student and former St. Joe’s player Rebecca MacLaren, John Prata of Seneca College and Emily Schultz of Sir Sanford Fleming College.

The camp attracted 12 boys and 28 girls from schools across Renfrew County and the Pontiac.

For $200, players received a camp T-shirt, snacks during nutrition breaks and coaching for five days.

Camp content included movement drills, forearm passing, combination drills, injury prevention and jump training, offensive options, defensive systems, 2-on-2 King or Queen of the court, a mini tournament and scrimmaging.

President of the Upper Ottawa Valley Vikings Volleyball Club executive is Kelly Sul of Renfrew. For more details on the Vikings, contact director

Renfrew golfers get ready for Gordon Cup this weekend in Arnprior Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - The Renfrew Golf Club will be looking to return to the glory of its winning ways at the 85th Gordon Cup golf tournament Saturday and Sunday of Labour Day Weekend.

Whatever happens, the Renfrew 14 won’t have to travel far to decide their fate.

The Arnprior Golf Club hosts this year’s five-team

event, which also includes the Pembroke, Mississippi and Deep River golf clubs.

It’s been six years since Renfrew last won the prestigious Cup for Ottawa Valley golf supremacy.

The local squad emerged champions on the home greens and fairways during Renfrew’s 150th anniversary celebrations of 2008.

That ran a Renfrew streak to nine Gordon Cup titles in 11 years.

They almost made it 10 titles in 12 years, but fell in 2009 to host Pembroke in the first playoff in Gordon Cup history.

Since then, it’s been some hard times as Renfrew finished fifth in the Valley competition each of the past two years.

2013 marked the second playoff in Gordon Cup history.

Again, Pembroke found the

winning formula, on the 37th hole, to end the Arnprior Golf Club’s three-year Gordon Cup winning streak, allowing the city team to enter this year’s event as defending champions.

There was one other Gordon Cup deadlock.

Back in the early 1970s, Arnprior and Pembroke also tied, noted Cup custodian Glenn Buder of Arnprior.

The championship was awarded to Arnprior that year

on the basis of a mathematical formula to break the tie.

Endeavouring to push Renfrew back to the top of the Gordon Cup ladder this year are Rob Warren, Tim Lemoyre Jr., Steve Mulvihill, Paul Wren, Paul Simard, Pat Holmes, Richard Barr, Brian Hewitt, Jamey Larone, David Hall, Kip Mulvihill, David Gallagher, Peter Barnes and Harvey Murray.

Alternates are Don Shalla and Keith McKinnon.

Warren will be participating in his 44th Gordon Cup tournament.

The top 12 of 14 scores daily make up a team’s final tally in the two-day 36-hole event.

The Gordon Cup began when J.P. Gordon of Renfrew donated a prestigious piece of hardware named in his honour for Ottawa Valley golf supremacy in 1930.

That came one year after the Renfrew Golf Club was established.

Rocky Mountain House awaits opponent for Ma-Te-Way slo-pitch final Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - Rocky Mountain House saw their combined regular season and 2014 playoff winning streak snapped at 16 games when dropping a 9-6 decision to the IDP Group Young Guns in game three of their best-of-ďŹ ve Ma-Te-Way Mixed Slo Pitch League semiďŹ nal series Aug. 19.

However, that only delayed their qualiďŹ cation for the league ďŹ nal by a bit over an hour.

Rocky Mountain House answered with an 18-9 win to oust the defending league champion Young Guns in game four.

The Young Guns overcame a 6-0 deďŹ cit with ďŹ ve runs in the sixth inning and four in the seventh to momentarily stave off elimination with their game three win.

Shawn Walters and Matt Brennan homered, while a ball off the bat of Tyler Miller turned into a four-base error to help propel the IDP Group to victory.

Winning pitcher Caitlin Dougherty added four hits.

Frank Visneskie, Landin Miller and Randy Smith clubbed round trippers for RMH. The restaurateurs came back to punch their ticket to the champion-

ship round with their win in game four.

Scott Davis, Randy Smith and Steve Fraser slugged the long ball for RMH. Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was his sixth dinger of the series. Davis also had four hits, while Jacob Fulton earned the mound victory.

Walters cranked his second home run of the night in the losing cause.

Andrew Green also went deep for the Young Guns.

OTHER SERIES DELAYED

The other semiďŹ nal series got stalled last week.

Militant Outdoors and Macâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Milk were scheduled to play on Wednesday, and then, Thursday, but were rained out on both occasions.

Militant leads the best-of-ďŹ ve series 2-0.

This year, Avalon Ranch divided up dogs and owners in smaller groups called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wavesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to allow for more individual pool time.

This was one of many improvements that the Spurrells, owners of the ranch, have implemented this year.

Some of the action in the Tour de Bonnechere.

Record-setting Tour de Bonnechere Erin Whyte

Sports - Not even Mother Nature could hold back the record-setting number of cyclists who turned out Sunday, Aug. 17 to ride the fifth annual Tour de Bonnechere in support of the Pembroke Regional Hospital MRI Image Matters campaign and the local food bank.

153 cyclists braved the weather conditions to ride their choice of the 100 km, 60 km or 18-km family ride. Cyclists of all experience levels, from semi-pro athletes to the youngest at two years old, set out to challenge the roads of Bonnechere Valley.

Over 74 cyclists toured the 100-km route that included the towns of Cormac, Brudenell and Foymount before finishing up their tour along Grattan Road, Scotch Bush Road and Fourth Chute Road. Known to local cyclists as the Seven Sisters of Brudenell, it is an arduous route that climbs for the first 50 plus kilometres.

The 60-km cyclists toured an equally challenging route by climbing Foymount Hill before enjoying their downhill reward along the Opeongo Line. At times, the 60- and 100-km routes overlapped and, at one such junction, the cyclists were treated to a refueling station sponsored by Greystone Manor. Cold water, Gatorade, fresh oranges and bananas were on hand to power the cyclists through the remainder of their tour.

The 18-km family ride featured 24 cyclists of all ages.

The sun broke just as the family riders set out to the Bonnechere Caves, where they enjoyed a guided tour of this natural underground wonder by their host Chris Hinsperger and his staff. Upon returning to Legion Field Park, the younger riders were presented with their official spelunkers medallions.

Although, not officially a race (cyclists can ride at any pace), there were record-breaking times posted by a group of

seven riding the 100-km route.

Their official time was 2 hours 39 minutes, which translates into an average speed of 3839km/hour.

Given the number and varying speeds that the cyclists were travelling at, all riders sincerely appreciated the patience and consideration given to them by the motorists sharing the road. Thankfully, the tour was completed without incident even though the County of Renfrew paramedics were on hand to support the cyclists if needed.

Event sponsors Tammy and Damien McCarthy from GearHeads were thrilled with the number of cyclists who turned out for the event. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 153 cyclists represents a 50 per cent increase in participation over the previous year.

Plans are already underway for next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event which will take place Sunday, Aug. 16. Details can be found on the Tour de Bonnechereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at http://tour debonnechere. blogspot.ca

Community - The Renfrew Victoria Hospital Auxiliary has been organizing marathon bridge as a service to the community, and as an annual fundraiser for the hospital, for over 50 years.

Convener Janet Osborne tells us, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the years marathon bridge has brought together people who love to play the game, introduced new friends to each other and has been a

great way for newcomers to meet other bridge players.â&#x20AC;?

She says that this game is not as serious as duplicate bridge and you and your partner can feel comfortable playing at any level.

If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played marathon bridge before, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it works.

A schedule is made up for you in which each couple plays with a different couple on the list once every two weeks throughout the season once a month at your home and once a month at their home.

Back-to-school spending costs hundreds of dollars Lifestyle - Things were much easier when all you needed for school was a piece of chalk and some slate. Back then, parents werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t goaded into spending hundreds of dollars on school supplies for their children but, times have changed.

A recent report from the website RetailMeNot.ca discovered the financial burden of being Canadian parents during the back-toschool shopping season. That burden includes these two stats: most parents will spend over $200 on school supplies for their children, and 12 per cent of parents plan to spend over $400 These numbers are not a surprise to Jeff Schwartz, executive director of Consolidated Credit Counseling Services of Canada, who says back-to-school shopping is a major expense for parents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although my former English teachers may cringe at this sentence, back-to-school shopping ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cheap!â&#x20AC;? says Schwartz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;School supplies are a source of great angst for parents. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of pressure to make your kids happy, but also a lot of stress about trying to stick to a budget. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found that both goals can be reached by shopping smart and involving your children in the process.â&#x20AC;?

Consolidated Credit offers the following tips to Canadian parents who are looking to decrease the amount of money it costs to outfit their children for school: â&#x20AC;˘ Gather up unused supplies from last year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; If you look hard enough, you will probably find a large stash of school supplies somewhere in your home. Unused pencils, crayons and rulers are hidden away in various drawers and cupboards just waiting to be used. Rescue these supplies from a life of neglect and give them to your child. Remember, a pencil found is a dollar earned! â&#x20AC;˘ For the kids, by the kids â&#x20AC;&#x201C; If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been struggling to teach your kids about money, now is the perfect time. Set up your young ones with

some fake money and a budget and have them scour back-to-school flyers for good deals.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get to make the decision on what to buy and will learn about money in the process. â&#x20AC;˘ Use the Internet â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no excuse for not searching online for better deals than what you can find in the store. Taking the time to compare prices and clip coupons will save you money. If you think this sounds like a chore, just think of the savings as a salary. â&#x20AC;˘ Kids can pay too â&#x20AC;&#x201C; If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a teenager at home who is demanding the latest gadget or fashions, the financial burden doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always

have to fall on the parents. Let you child know that they can take some of their allowance or savings and put it towards the item they so desperately want. After making this offer, you may find that that item isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;must haveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as it once was. â&#x20AC;˘ Strength in numbers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; If everybody is back-to-school shopping, why are you doing it alone? Call up your friends and neighbours who have children of similar ages and go together on a group buy. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get the price benefits of buying in bulk without the annoyance of having to store a bunch of extra supplies.

Looking for savings and shopping smart is the best way to get an A+ on your back-to-school shopping report card!â&#x20AC;?

Overseas students - here they come, there they go News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Rotary Youth Exchanges are not new, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re educational and energizing.

New people and countries, new cultures and new languages are all part of the experiences for youngsters who take part in the decadeslong international program.

That pattern continues for the Rotary Club of Renfrew this fall, as two local students head overseas and another student visits from Brazil.

The outgoing students are Grade 12 students Amanda Limlaw, 17, of Admaston-Bromley and Renfrew Collegiate Institute and Ashley Fontes, 16, of Dacre and St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic High School who wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return home until the summer of 2015.

Normally, one local student heads overseas each year, but a vacancy at another club in the district means two students will get an international exchange in 2014-15.

Fontesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own family has hosted students from such countries as Venezuela, Brazil, Croatia, Mexico and Thailand over the years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been training for this for a while,â&#x20AC;? says Fontes, whose international exchange will take her to stay with three families in Lille, in

northern France near the border of Belgium.

She has travelled to the United States, Portugal and Mexico, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the extent of foreign travel for the Dacre youngster, who understands French but admits itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a challenge to speak.

Limlaw, who travelled to Spain and France in 2013, says her exchange in the eastern European country of Croatia is all part of her preparation to be an overseas teacher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love travelling,â&#x20AC;? she says before heading to a country that is credited with bringing menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ties and Dalmatian dogs into the world.

Croatia is also known for its beautiful seacoast and beaches, and meats and cheeses.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be staying in the small town of Samobor, near the border of Slovenia and about an hour from the Croatian capital of Zagreb.

The exchange student who will soon arrive in the Renfrew area, where hosts will include the Fontes family, is Daniel Cavalcanti of Recife, in northern Brazil. With its beaches, rivers and coral reefs, the city of 1.5 million is nicknamed the Venice of Brazil. It was also a cohost of the recent FIFA World Cup. Rotary exchange students are responsible for their own travel expens-

es, while families incur the expenses for accommodation of students. The Rotary clubs provide some finances for incidentals, like a jacket and business cards, and a nominal monthly allowance.

Fontes, the Rotary district 7040â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incoming youth exchange chairman, says the program generates

says the visits always create increased awareness about countries outside Canada.

Families interested in hosting a foreign exchange student for about three months are asked to contact Lofthouse at 613-433-0266.

The local Rotary club is also seeking more host families.

Community urged to get behind pet therapy programs john.carter@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The dog therapy program launched by St. John Ambulance in Renfrew County is music to Bill Drummondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ears.

After a dozen yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; absence from the local pet advocacy scene, the founder of the once-active AdoptA-Pet and therapy dog programs in the Renfrew area is back promoting the value of pets in comforting and treating people with mental health issues.

The St. John Ambulance in Renfrew County has started the service with about 30 volunteers. The programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volunteers visit area hospitals, nursing homes and long term care homes with their pets to provide companionship, motivation and comfort to residents who are open to developing a bond with the animals.

Drummond knows first-hand the healing power of pets. His dogs have always been a comfort to him as he dealt with health issues. His current dog, Spinner, helped â&#x20AC;&#x153;save my life,â&#x20AC;? he says. The Admaston-Bromley resident would like to volunteer his time helping those who â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;giftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; therapy pets to those who need them, as well as give motivational speeches and write

articles to spread awareness of the benefits of pet and other alternative therapies in the fight against mental illness.

During a recent visit to the Norlock home on the Pinnacle to see Buddy, the last living therapy dog from his former program, Drummond talked about the benefits of the program with a couple of residents who have acquired therapy dogs and Val Hutchinson and Julie Bilson of Valley Animal Rescue, a supporter of the program.

Valley Animal Rescue is always on the lookout for potential therapy dogs, noted Hutchison. The Valleybased animal rescue organization already operates a senior and palliative care animals program and one of its main mandates is to educate the public on timely animal topics (for more visit the Valley Animal Rescue Facebook page).

Drummond noted that the therapy dog program linked with Adopt-APet in the late 1990s was low profile because of the stigma attached to mental health issues at that time.

Despite the lack of official sanction, at least 200 therapy pets were provided to people in the Renfrew area who had disabilities or mental health problems and might not otherwise

have been able to afford a pet.

Many worked wonders with their owners, especially those who lived alone, encouraging them to integrate back into society. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s given me my independence back,â&#x20AC;? says one Renfrew woman who once rarely left her home after being hit by a car. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since I got Keiko, I have the confidence to go out again.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;He (dog) gives me a sense of serenity,â&#x20AC;? said another woman who was provided with a therapy dog. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He also makes me feel safe.â&#x20AC;?

The stigma surrounding mental health illness has eased a bit in the last 15 years thanks to some high profile efforts to publicize and deal with suicide and other related problems. However, mental health problems are still a major challenge in the Upper Ottawa Valley.

There is a waiting list for up to six months for Community Mental Health services, so the professionals could use all they help they can get, said Drummond.

He is urging the many community groups that use to assist Adopt-A-Pet to support the pet therapy effort. People such as now retired veterinarian Al Witham and his staff at the Renfrew Animal Hospital, the Leclaires ON

Chillinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in Renfrew

Ten people take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge as phenomenon hits community Lucy Hass lucy.hass@metroland.com

News - The Ice Bucket Challenge made its Renfrew debut last Wednesday afternoon (Aug. 20) as 10 people took the challenge at Odiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kingburger.

The challenge, which involves dumping a bucket of ice water over oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head or donating to the ALS Association, has gone viral through social media this summer.

The challenge dares nominated participants to be filmed

while a buck of ice water is poured over their heads, a criteria that was met with filming of the Odiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event by Kirk Hisko.

Numerous events, visitors for museum’s summer season McDougall Mill Museum

Community - With this being the final week for the McDougall Mill Museum’s open season, we would like to thank each and every visitor for helping to make 2014 such a great year. We have thoroughly enjoyed opening the museum doors to numerous visitors of all ages, from all over the world. We hope that with each year to come we have greater and greater success.

The numerous events that we have held over the year included Canada

Day Celebrations, Kids Week, our annual Ghost Walk, and Seniors Week, and have all been a great success this summer. We continue to work hard to change up and improve our events in order to increase our success with each year.

We would like to sincerely thank those who have helped to support us throughout the season, including those who have generously donated artifacts to the museum, and those who have taken the time to come out and visit us. We would also like to take the time to give a special thanks

to The Renfrew Mercury, the Renfrew Parks and Recreation Department, MyFM, Valley Heritage Radio, Renfrew Printers, and Renfrew Tourism. We wouldn’t have been able to do it without you.

This is the last week of our season at the McDougall Mill Museum, but we host group tours by appointment throughout the fall.

Sopranos lend voices for evening of music for Golden Age Centre Lucy Hass Lucy.hass@metroland.com

Community - Sopranos Jennifer and Kelly Slight lent their voices to a worthy cause Aug. 21, presenting a recital titled An Evening of Music to raise funds for the Golden Age Activity Centre.

Generous free-will donations generated $700 for the drop-in seniors centre in downtown Renfrew.

Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church was the backdrop for an evening of classics by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, George Fredric Handel, Franz Schubert and Claude Debussy, Jacques Offenbach and other masters

of music.

Pianist Kevin McSheffrey accompanied the singers.

A programme that included translation of the songs also offered thanks from the sopranos to the audience, accompanist McSheffrey, Marley Vandewouw, Victoria Slight, Nellie Kingsbury of the Golden Age Activity Centre, Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church and “our very supportive family for all of their hard work in preparation for this concert.”

Jennifer holds a bachelor of music from Mount Allison University where she received training from

Wendy Nielsen and Monette Gould.

She currently studies voice with Yoriko Tanno-Kimmons and teaches with the Renfrew County Kelly Catholic District School Board as an elementary music specialist.

Kelly is a recent graduate of the bachelor of music arts program at Western University where she studied under direction of Gwenlynn Little and Lesley Andrews.

This year she will be continuing her education at the University of Ottawa for a bachelor of education and has been accepted to pursue a masters of music therapy at Concordia in the fall of 2015.

CHEO Bear, the mascot for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, encourages customers to visit the Renfrew Dairy Queen during the Aug. 14 Dairy Queen Miracle Treat Day. He is joined by compatriots Wiley Coyote and Elmo. This was the 30th year of raising money for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. The eastern Ontario recipient of $1 from each DQ Blizzard purchased is the Ottawa-based CHEO. Karrie Salter, the Renfrew event organizer, said the event is an opportunity for the community to come together, along with staff and their children, to support an important healthcare facility.

“In addition to the debilitating symptoms of the illness, stigma and discrimination affects the way people with schizophrenia live every day and can be a barrier to everything from education and housing to employment and relationships.

“We are thankful to LCBO and its staff for supporting our work this summer - we rely on donations to carry out the majority of our work and it is the generous support from LCBO customers that will make this campaign a success.”

In Ontario, 135,000 individuals live with schizophrenia and over 405,000 individuals will experience at least one psychotic episode in their lifetime.

The impact of schizophrenia is farreaching, not only affecting the individual, but also families, caregivers, workplaces and the community.

This translates into thousands of people across the province in need of information, assistance and support.

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, August 28, 2014 55

Immature green herons move to town; wild turkeys seen too Lifestyle - Keith and Edith Westbrook sent us this email.

Hi Jim and Ila: Two green heron chicks, about eight to ten inches ((20-26cm) tall, arrived on our back deck on Wade Avenue. Our six-year-old grand daughter Lacey Westbrook spotted them about 10 o’clock Saturday morning. I saw another fly by and think it may have been an adult but I am not sure. The two young ones flew up into a tall old oak tree at the back of our property, and Edith saw them later that evening, almost dark.

We have not seen green heron chicks before so it was quite a rarity to us.

Anne and Andy Humphries and Jack and Jane Clark saw the birds later on Saturday and were very surprised to see them near a busy street in town. Immature herons have a tendency to wander after they hatch in their search for food without the help of their parents. They do not appear to be concerned about the presence of people.

Thank you for the email. The behaviour of young birds always amazes us.

Hi Jim and Ila: The Japanese maple outside my office widow is a busy spot this week. Catbirds, that spent the sum-

JIM FERGUSON Scene from the Hawk’s Eye mer skulking in the lilacs, are out in the open now, flipping their tails and making quite a noise. I guess they are limbering up before going south.

There are two Philadelphia vireos here also. This species has been visiting here for years so I’m glad to see them stopping in again.

Carol McCuaig Thank you, Carol. It seems that every year they leave too soon.

WILD TURKEYS

We have a turkey hen and her brood who regularly stroll through the field behind the house. All summer she had nine young ’uns but yesterday I noticed she had 10 or possibly 11. I thought she was a fine Mother not losing any to the neighbourhood fox, wasn’t expecting the brood to increase. Do they adopt orphans that you know of, unless it

is possibly two different families?

Hard to believe there would be two large broods in same area.

We have two hummingbirds coming to our feeder. Not many other birds around other than crows.

Brian Eady Thank you, Brian. It is no wonder that wild turkeys have increased in numbers so rapidly, when one hen can have this many chicks.

COMMON NIGHTHAWKS

Marlene Hanneman and Cathy Campbell have heard and seen large flocks of common nighthawks hawking for flying insects just at dusk.

These birds are excellent insect gatherers. They are swift fliers and have a wide gape to scoop up the insects.

For one individual this ability almost caused it to perish. It was found with its mouth packed with insects to the point where it had almost stopped breathing. With a little help removing some of the insects, it was able to breathe again and flew away.

along the shores of Muskrat Lake at Cobden. They seem to know when the insect population will no longer provide enough nourishment to increase their fat levels for the trip south. When this occurs they gather and begin to migrate.

Most warblers, yellow warblers in particular, begin their migration south shortly after the young fledge, usually during the second week of August.

Other warblers, black and white and yellow-rumped, remain well into September mainly because they include more seeds and berries in their
