News - It wasn’t the best of summer holidays for Pontiac County Warden Mike McCrank, but he’s hopeful the county’s business climate will improve following the most recent Quebec Superior Court ruling.

Instead of enjoying time off in mid-August, McCrank found himself back on the job trying to prevent the dismantling of the local Canadian National rail line. Then, in an Aug. 20 hearing, a Quebec judge asked CN to respect a local bylaw that stops the dismantling of CN’s rail lines within the county.

In a carefully-worded response, Jim Feeny, the Canadian National vice-president of corporate and governmental affairs, specified that CN had agreed to cease dismantling of its rail until the next hearings, scheduled for Oct. 10 and 11 of this year.

The injunction, says Pontiac director general RĂŠmis Bertrand, gives the county more time to establish its case, and to work to obtain some support from the federal and provincial government.

As of Monday, Bertrand says the

county hasn’t heard from the premier’s or prime minister’s office, but had been speaking with the regional ministry for Outaouais. “We’re not expressing disappointment,� said Feeny. “From CN’s point of view, we were asked to agree to halt removal of the rail until October� and CN has agreed to do so.

Until that Aug. 20 decision, MRC Pontiac had kept a vehicle parked across the rail line, between the Litchfield industrial park and Portagedu-Fort.

Rail cars parked on the line ready for dismantling and storage of the rail line’s equipment have left the county.

Earlier this year, CN dismantled its local line between Pembroke and Beachburg.

Ensuing protests or calls for government action included an MRC Pontiac staff protest Aug. 13 when one of the county’s vehicles was left parked on the rail line.

There was also an Aug. 19 news conference that included a demonstration by more than a dozen placard-waving local citizens. As examples, placards asked that CN not derail its future and exclaimed that CN’s closure will kill the community.

The Superior Court decision Aug. 20 gives the county a chance to present its case. “To me, it’s a good thing because at least we have a chance to organize and to present our view to the judge,� said Philippe of the Superior Court’s ruling Aug. 20.

horse pull and Canada Day celebrations. Bob also sat as a councillor with the now defunct Township of Brougham.

It was very difficult in constructing this history of the accomplishments of Robert Colterman because when he was questioned by his friends and family of why he would be nominated for the Queen’s Jubilee Medal his typical response was, “Why the hell would I know.”

His response is not the sign of false modesty. He honestly does not see any of the aforementioned as his ac-

complishments but as the feats of his community and his family, both of which he cherishes and loves deeply.

It is his attitude, that the actions of goodwill for fellow man are not his creations but a continuum of what he has learned from others.

Regardless, his wife and his family would like to thank all those involved with the nomination and the presentation of this award.

It means a lot to those who love him. It means a lot for them to see him receive this well-deserved recognition.

Community - Bob Colterman was born on July 19, 1941, the oldest of 11 children born to Lucy and Robert Colterman of Mount Saint Patrick.

He went to school until Grade 10 at a school in Mt. St. Patrick and two years later graduated from Kemptville Agricultural College. Due to an accident sustained by his father, Bob returned to his home to help his family with the business of running the family farm. Bob always enjoyed the company of other young men and women and in his youth he was a member of 4-H and Junior Farmers.

He gave back to the 4-H organization by later serving as a leader.

In 1966, Bob married a lass from Griffith named Marian Lacourse and shortly afterwards they bought a farm outside of Mount St. Patrick where the two of them still happily reside. It was here that they raised both of their children – Angela, who was given the name because she reminded Bob of a beautiful angel, and John.

In 1975, the strains of the growing farm operation and raising a family required assistance which came in the form of a young, hardworking girl named Peggy Riopelle. Peggy not only became hired help but also became an integral part of Bob and Marian’s family.

Bob taught his children the importance of hard work, faith and community and he did so, not through his words but more importantly, through his actions.

Added to the work of running a farm, he served as Parts Manager for John Deere for over 20 years. A typical working day saw Bob getting up for chores by 6 a.m. and not coming in from the fields until nightfall.

He seldom missed mass on Sunday at St. Patrick’s Church and was part of its Parish Council for over 25 years, helping the council with initiatives like planning for a new heating system and a new residence. He has enjoyed countless years helping the church with the annual bazaar by being ever present in cutting ham, peeling potatoes and slicing turkeys.

He followed in his father’s footsteps by being a member of the Knights of Columbus for 57 years and most recently teamed with his wife in delivering meals to housebound elderly with the Knights’ “Meals on Wheels” program.

In his community, Bob was instrumental in the founding and the upkeep of the DACA Community Centre. He was part of the building committee in 1980 and was proud to be present with his family and neighbours when it was completed in 1983.

Through the years Bob has served as the director and president of DACA. He took on the role of booking the hall as well as the holding what is humorously considered his most important contribution – making sure that the bar at the DACA centre was always fully stocked. He has enjoyed the company of friends at family at annual events held at the centre such as the hunters ball, the

News - Giant hogweed continues to grow in eastern Ontario, but the extent of its growth has been somewhat exaggerated.

The same can’t be said about wild parsnip, another toxic plant that has reached the region.

So says Renfrew County forestry manager and weed inspector Jeff Muzzi, who regularly receives emailed images or calls wondering if particular plants are of concern.

Muzzi says giant hogweed and wild parsnip can burn skin and cause temporary blindness, but Muzzi says giant parsnip is a bigger concern for at least two reasons.

It has the same negative effect on human skin, and there’s a lot more of it around the county.

“It’s spreading at an alarming rate,” said Muzzi.

Several plants of giant hogweed were eradicated by the Renfrew County forestry department a couple of years ago in and around White Lake, Waba, Pembroke and Matawatchan.

And more recently, a section of giant hogweed was identified on private property near Braeside.

“Our policy is to get rid of it, but there’s no obligation to do so. It is a poisonous, nasty weed,” said Muzzi.

Positive identification of giant hogweed in recent months have been rare, says Muzzi, who says photos of

suspected giant hogweed can be emailed to him at jmuzzi@countyofrenfrew. ca Many photos sent to him turn out to be of cow parsnip, and not giant hogweed.

Despite its negative effect on human skin, Muzzi says the plant is not a major concern if people stay away from it.

The good news is that repeated cuttings eventually kill wild parsnip, says Muzzi. He says giant hogweed can be more problematic because its roots can reach more than a metre and a half, while the plant can reach heights of two metres.

Eradicating either plant also requires proper care, by following certain safety guidelines, says Muzzi, like covering one’s face, arms and hands with rubber gloves and proper facial protection.

“The danger is weedwhacking because you get the sap on your skin,” says Muzzi. Also, seeds from disturbed giant hogweed plants can sprout within a few weeks.

Wild parsnip resembles the dill plant and can grow up to a metre tall.

Meanwhile, new species have entered, or may soon enter, Renfrew County and create more concerns for residents and visitors.

Garlic mustard, which has some nasty effects on skin, has been sighted near Deep River. And Dog-Strangling Vine, which has been seen in Northumberland County,

OPINION

Connected to your community

EDITORIAL

Nashville star gives back Success in life is a complex thing and seldom a solitary venture.

Many successful people attribute their success to others, from family members and teachers to entire communities. They treasure their roots.

Country recording artist Jason Blaine of Pembroke is such a person, as evidenced by his recent creation of a charitable fund to help others in his hometown.

The announcement was made Aug. 21 at a special nine-and-dine invitational golf tournament at the Pembroke Shores Golf Club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jason Blaine has arguably become the most successful country music artist to come from the Upper Ottawa Valley and now, the rising Canadian Recording Artist wants to give back to the people who have supported his career advancement,â&#x20AC;? said a news release from Algonquin College Alumnus.

The Jason Blaine Charitable Fund will support lo-

cal charities and community organizations and will be administered by the Pembroke and Petawawa District Community Foundation.

The first major fundraising event for the new Jason Blaine Charitable Fund will be a combined concert and golf tournament on June 17 and 18, 2014.

All money raised from this initial event will support the Pembroke and Area Boys and Girls Club and the Algonquin College Capital Building Campaign.

Blaine grew up in Laurentian Valley, attended Fellowes High School and graduated from the business program at Algonquin Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pembroke campus.

While he and Amy and their three children now live in Nashville, Tennessee, the epicentre of country music in North America, Blaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart remains very much connected to his Renfrew County home.

His commitment to others is indeed worthy of applause.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not too late to take a stand on behalf of all Canadians To the editor: Opinion - If Canada, Australia, Brunei, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, Mexico, Vietnam, Japan, and the United States have one thing in common, it is that they are all buying into the snake oil of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal.

The existence of the TPP is not a secret as much as is the 31-year Trojan Horse Canada-China investment treaty (which the prime minister has not denied will grant China its desired control over Canadian oil via threat of lawsuits), but the negotiations secretively exclude the general publics of each country from analysis of agreement drafts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; yet not from

the oversight of 600 U.S. corporate lobbyists and select Canadian companies. It is no wonder that lobbyistoriented politicians would want the TPP handled quietly, for this â&#x20AC;&#x153;free tradeâ&#x20AC;? agreement practically begs for multinational corporations to bring down the regulatory boot of the state upon consumers and to tax the citizenry themselves.

Leaks of the drafts suggest that the worst should be expected: the corporate filtering of temporary digital copies to oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s computer history folders, requirements for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to systematically collect information on users, legal authority for ISPs to police their own users with fines and â&#x20AC;&#x153;three-

strikes youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re outâ&#x20AC;? termination of online access, criminalization of smallscale copyright violations, and other regulations too unpopular to survive in previous legislation.

Individual patents would be strengthened from life plus 50 years to life plus 70 years, the corporate patent lifespan increasing from 95 years to 125 years, as if medical drugs were not already expensive enough.

In addition, three-person tribunals would be established with final authority to review any new â&#x20AC;&#x153;expropriatingâ&#x20AC;? democratic laws that cut the expected profits of corporations from member countries and invested in Canada, ordering â&#x20AC;&#x153;compensationâ&#x20AC;?

of any value where they deem fit.

Just recently the American pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly launched a $500 million NAFTA lawsuit against Canada, as punishment for the government not being patent protectionist enough for the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own liking. In statements released by Tufts University, hundreds of economists have warned that these investor-state provisions would threaten financial regulations. Imagine the same U.S. companies that were responsible for the 2008 sub-prime mortgage crisis, like Goldman Sachs, being empowered to steal tax dollars from Canadians on the audacious basis that they and a few activist judges better understand

â&#x20AC;&#x153;unfairâ&#x20AC;? regulations than many millions of citizens.

It would be truly ironic if the same libertarian conservative constituency that defeated the online surveillance in Bill C-30 now acquiesced to even greater infringements upon privacy and free flow of goods and services, all in the name of â&#x20AC;&#x153;smaller governmentâ&#x20AC;?.

But it is not too late for principled conservatives to insist that the Harper cabinet take a stand against these terms on behalf of all Canadians, instead of just partnering with elites rich enough to buy off politicians with $90,000 personal cheques.

Stefan Klietsch Renfrew

Editorial gave skewed depiction of those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t share view To the editor: Opinion - The Aug. 15 editorial â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prouder and more tolerant Canadaâ&#x20AC;? was very skewed in its unfair depiction of those who disapprove of homosexuality, portraying them as hateful and unaccepting of homosexuals.

Reasonable people do not hate anyone, including homosexuals, but they do hate what the practice of sodomy does to people, both to those who partake of it, and to our society.

Witness the scourge of AIDS

alone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no-one can deny that it is predominantly a homosexual disease; also the recent rise in other sexually transmitted diseases, including syphilis, which overwhelmingly affects homosexual men.

Perhaps Pope Benedict XVI said it best when speaking about homosexuality in 2006, when he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shine a light on the positive things, so we can make people understand why the Church cannot accept certain things, but at the same time wants to respect

people and to help them.â&#x20AC;?

Your comment about the â&#x20AC;&#x153;cultural shift from intolerance to acceptanceâ&#x20AC;? should be put under the spotlight, and it must be admitted that the cause has been the relentless, unceasing propaganda from homosexual activists, including through all types of media, and even recruitment on university campuses.

Homosexuals should always be treated with the same respect as any other person, and never persecuted

or ill-treated in any way. But they should not have special â&#x20AC;&#x153;rightsâ&#x20AC;?, and the public should not have to be constantly exposed to â&#x20AC;&#x153;gay prideâ&#x20AC;? parades such as this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be Loud, Be Proud.â&#x20AC;?

Sexuality, including natural sexuality between a man and a woman, is a private thing, not a spectator sport.

You stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rights and freedoms of the individual are a basic human law that predates and supersedes the sovereignty and constitutions

of nations.â&#x20AC;?

Yes, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean one is free to do just anything. While granting special rights to homosexuals, their activists would deny freedom of speech and religion to those who disagree with them.

There have been enough cases of people hauled up before Human Rights Commissions and severely punished for reasons such as speaking the Biblical truth about sodomy, or refusing to rent a church hall for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;gay weddingâ&#x20AC;?, etc.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Forget gold-plating and work toward indoor pool platingâ&#x20AC;?, keep the $1.5 million and continue working towards an indoor facility even if it takes a bit longer. I wonder if all options such as grants, funding drives, and re-assessing priorities have been thoroughly reviewed.

A change of mind is necessary if the citizens of Renfrew are not to be stuck with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;white elephantâ&#x20AC;?.

the add-ons should be discarded?

Certainly digging a hole in the ground for $1.5 million which could only see some 10 weeks of use annually seems a very expensive hole. Reportedly, 80 percent of the Renfrew towns people want a year-round facility presumably to accommodate the aquatic needs of all age groups throughout the year.

That would include everything from infant swimming lessons through competition, to therapy for the disabled. Fostering some signiďŹ cant swimming capability among juniors would be a real bonus.

For example, note the facility in Perth where Olympian swimmer Mike Brown was honoured last weekend at his hometown pool.

Perhaps the Council should forget the â&#x20AC;&#x153;gold

To the editor: Opinion - As someone not from Renfrew but close enough to routinely read The Mercury, I cannot refrain from submitting a comment about the Renfrew Pool issue. I heartily endorse the views of Glen Goslin (Renfrew Mercury Aug. 22, 2013) about the ill chosen course to fund construction of an outdoor facility. It seems to me that of all those souls having contributed to a pool fund over the years, many wishing for an indoor facility like Arnprior enjoys, will feel somewhat betrayed by Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision.

What is known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;gold platingâ&#x20AC;? in the requirements business seems to have taken over.

If the objective was to fund an indoor facility, and if adding an ice surface and indoor track to the project made it unaffordable, then maybe

Railway’s future in Pontiac County remains undecided purchased after it closed down in “At least we’re neutralizing (each 2008.

The Superior Court response is no other), and hopefully the court will side with us, and we’ll come out guarantee, but gives the county opportunity to firmly present its case, ahead,” said McCrank.

According to Gerry Philippe of said Warden McCrank.

While the court’s response is Green Investment Group, which owns the Litchfield industrial park, removal positive, McCrank said a sense of urof the CN lines would derail or discourage plans for at least four companies thinking of doing business in the area.

Any CN move to pull up the tracks will be “devastating for Green Investment Group and for the whole of the region, on both sides of the (Ottawa) river,” said Philippe.

For reasons of confidentiality, Philippe says he can’t divulge the names of four companies that could come to the Date of the flyer sale – Friday August 30th - Thursday Sept 5th 2013 county. But he 680 O'BRIEN RD., RENFREW said they involved manual labour and that some of the work is forestryrelated.

At present eight companies work out of the industrial park, and that at least one of them, Trebio, would definitely be able to do better business if it had access to the local Canadian National railway line, said Philippe.

Green Investment Group owns eight industrial parks in North America, including two in both Savings available until September 7, 2013.

“I think the railway will be a tool to attract jobs, but I don’t think we’ll fix it in six months.”

“Family life is hurting,” added McCrank, alluding to how many families have both parents working out of the area because of the lack of

to hear that there have been several efforts to purchase the railway. Basically, the CN had one goal in mind, and that was to lift the rail.”

Philippe says the situation, including the requested purchase price of around $27 million, needs to be reevaluated.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Supports indoor pool

was 38 years ago.

Come on, Renfrew. After all these years, do it right. I was on the bus trip to Stittsville with the aquatic club to see the beautiful four-lane pool.

There were 40 of us who went to see it and it was really something for the children with wheelchairs to be able to go in the water. The smiles of their faces were a delight to see.

Sincerely, Muriel Freamo Deslaurier Renfrew

To the editor: Concerning the outdoor pool the Town of Renfrew is pondering over â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it should not be allowed to be installed. I lived in London, Ont. and they have a large outdoor pool called Wonderland for the ones that are physically fit. We have been many years with this issue. My son was 16 years old in St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s High School and they had a walk-a-thon and that

and I would ask that, can council afford to saddle this town with rates that will be in the 6% to 8% area in the future? Entities holding our note will not be satisfied with the low yields, as they are rising now. Please run some numbers on historical lending rate percentages. That 1.5 million will swell significantly I am sure.

It was noted in the Mercury that the river beach area was not an option. Cited was the reason of pollution. Now ask yourself, why are we spending $1.5 million on a small outdoor pool, but cannot address the pollution in our water way?

That river is our legacy to hand down to future generations and they will say we preferred a pool over our natural resource? That is insane and out of touch. If the river is polluted, then let us clean it up now and have that water for our survival and pleasure.

As you well all know, this town is on shaky ground as to the infrastructure. You all travel the roads, pathetic asphalt, manholes and catch basin ironwork in need of repair, sidewalk that is in need of replacement, they are uneven, cracked, and very dangerous for a lot of our senior citizens. The list goes on and on if we like. These are real things that need our attention.

Please do the real job of running this town, and not take on more burdens that we will regret in future years. A pool now is not the answer.

Thank you, Karen and Marcel Oostendarp Renfrew

To the editor: Dear Mayor and Council: We are against the implementation of this expenditure to have an outdoor pool installed. It appears new financing will be in order to complete this venture. Although I agree a pool would be an asset, certainly an indoor facility would be preferable considering our climate. Having said that, I would disagree with mayor and council that this expenditure at this moment in time is very untimely and foolish. 1.3 million plus contingency is a lot of money for the ratepayers to swallow at this time. The continued maintenance will also be a burden to the community.

I am not sure how the town will finance the nearly $1.5 million. I would like to remind you all that if you are considering loan financing, that would in my opinion would be very foolish. The 10-year USD treasury bond is now at a two-year high and rising. This 10-year bond is what rates are measured by in all areas of borrowing. This rate today is listed at 2.82 per cent. The new borrowing costs are passed on. The cheap money that was available prior to the latest increases is now evaporated. Rates are now rising and will continue to rise.

The loan that council is hoping to secure at low rates will vanish, and the taxpayers will be settled with higher borrowing costs. This town cannot and should not be forced to pay for untimely and misallocated funds. Future years will see increases in rates

Also, at that time, monies were allocated for activities in keeping with the objective of the Rotary Foundation called Matching Grants.

Rotary offers funding to alleviate hunger in the world and has been a forerunner in the battle against polio which is on the verge of being eradicated from humanity. Its success in this arena has changed the lives of multitudes of people.

In addition, Rotary Grants for University Teachers helps raise the education level of the next generation. Rotary International consistently drives forward thinking.

The scope of Rotary is broad and deep with over $1 billion having been raised since its inception.

Community - Some people are shining lights. One such individual was recently recognized by being bestowed with the highest recognition of a Rotarian or Friend of Rotary – the Paul Harris Fellowship. This man is Kent Tubman, whose exemplary service to our community is noted in the many activities that he has undertaken both in and out of Rotary International.

Kent has been a member of Rotary since 1998 and has served on many committees within Rotary as well as president and on the board of directors.

In addition, he has been on the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce in Renfrew for 15 years and is a founding member of the Renfrew Health Services Village.

In 2000 he was appointed to the Renfrew Victoria Hospital board by the Town of Renfrew and remained active in that role until 2011.

While serving on the hospital board, he was vice-chair and chair, offering his skills and expertise to ensure that Renfrew has a world class hospital.

In addition, Kent has coached soccer for many years.

All of us have heard of Rotary International, but few of us know its scope.

At a recent dinner meeting held at the Renfrew Golf Club where Kent was recognized, many of us were enlightened with some of the initiatives of Rotary.

The club was formed in 1905, when Paul Harris, an attorney in Chicago-organized the first meeting “in fellowship and friendship” with three clients.

His initial goal was to create a club of professional and business men for friendship and fellowship.

Early on, Harris realized that Rotary needed a greater purpose.

While Harris served as president of the Chicago Rotary Club in 1907, the club initiated its first public service project, the construction of public toilets in Chicago. This step transformed Rotary into the world’s first Service Club.

By 1917, the endowment fund had grown to more than $5,000 and the club was renamed The Rotary Foundation and by 1919 it made its first grant to the International Society for Crippled Children. This later became known as Easter Seals.

Many other programs have been implemented since that time.

The Ambassadorial Scholarships were launched in 1965-66 and a Group Study Ex-

At the end of the trail, walkers will find an abandoned limestone quarry and trench from the 1800s.

Walks start from the

museum at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 31, and Labour Day Monday.

During the evening of Aug. 19 Renfrew OPP officers were dispatched to a possible breakand-enter in progress and several suspects were identified to police. Witnesses reported a group of people breaking into Martin Cycle and Small Engine on Argyle Street, but nothing was stolen.

Officers patrolled and discovered the Wing on Argyle Street had also been broken into and alcohol stolen. A group of youths were located and detained on Munroe Avenue. The investigation revealed two of the youths were

responsible for the damage and break-ins. Two Renfrew males, ages 14 and 15, were arrested and charged with one count of break, enter and theft, and one count of mischief under $5,000.

They were released from custody on a youth promise to appear in youth court in Renfrew on Oct. 21. Under provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act they cannot be identified. All of the stolen alcohol was recovered. Const. Mask led the investigation.

DEALING WITH AGGRESSIVE SALESPEOPLE

Police frequently receive calls from residents complaining about door-to-door salespeople who are aggressive and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to want to take â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? for an answer.

Under the Safe Streets Act it is an offence in Ontario to solicit in an aggressive manner. The definition of aggressive includes â&#x20AC;&#x153;to continue

to solicit a person in a persistent manner after the person has responded negatively to the solicitation.â&#x20AC;?

Residents should also be wary of door to door salespeople who advise they are entitled to enter the home. If in doubt, contact the municipality, company or police. The person can be charged if you are willing to provide a statement.

Under Ontario law, if you sign a contract in your home you can cancel within 10 days. Do not feel pressured into signing anything. Some residents have signed a document, only to find it is in fact a contract.

There are further safeguards for consumers who purchase items or services via door to door sales through the Consumer Protection Act. Visit Ontario.ca/consumerprotection for more information, or call the Consumer Services Bureau at 1-800-889-9768.

OPP prepared

R0012273314_0829

News- The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are giving advance notice that they will be honing in on distracted drivers as part of the heightened enforcement they have planned over the Labour Day weekend.

With kids heading back to school, distracted driving is of particular concern to the OPP as distraction-related collision fatalities in OPP jurisdiction continue to surpass impaired drivingrelated deaths this year. According to the OPP, everyone travelling on roads and highways should be equally concerned about this alarming trend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most people would not get into a vehicle with an impaired driver and they are at as much risk in the presence of a distracted driver as an impaired driver,â&#x20AC;? says Chief Superintendent Don Bell, commander of the OPP Highway Safety Division. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you are a passenger in a vehicle and the driver is not completely focused on driving, is talking on a cell phone or even worse â&#x20AC;&#x201C; texting â&#x20AC;&#x201C; remind them that they are endangering your life and that you want them to stop.

So far this year, 47 of the 177 people killed in motor vehicle collisions involved distracted driving, compared to 32 deaths involving impaired driving.

1913: Cattle shipped west after drought Community - MR. FRASER SELLS THE MILL CREEK PROPERTY: This week Mr. Alex Fraser sold to Mr. W.A. Moore what is known as the Mill Creek property, the burnt Smith planning mill and the machinery in it that was saved; the old grist mill and the water power. Mr. Moore will remove the dismantled buildings and machinery and will set them up at a planning factory, the site of which is not yet definitely decided. It is understood that the land thus cleared and the water power will be almost certain to go into the hands of the Renfrew Milling Company, which will in that event build their mill uptown, where they will be in position to get a siding from the Grand Trunk Railway, thus eliminating the heavy cost of haulage. There is also a rumour that another concern stands ready to buy the present mills of the Renfrew Milling Company any

CATTLE TO THE WEST: Its like old times this fall, the immense droves of cattle being brought for shipment to the west. The Jamieson Meat Co. are a godsend to the farmers, as one person put it. With the scarcity of feed following the drought, the farmers are getting rid of their surplus cattle. While it is too bad to see all this manured asset going off the farms, it is a blessing that there is a market under the

Old Files Continued from page 19

MINE MAY HAVE NEW OWNERS: There are some indications that the Phoenix Molybdenite mine in Bagot Township, about seven miles from Renfrew, may pass into new hands soon. The property has an area of about 200 acres and operations have been carried on for a few years past, with more than one change of ownership. Molybdenite is used for the hardening

of steel. During the Great War much of the commodity was shipped from Renfrew County. Toronto men of late have been examining the property.

Kingston. The event brings dancers from across Canada, the United States and Jamaica and is a happy reunion for all who participate. While attending the school, an unexpected blackout was experienced but didn’t stop the dancers. They just took their dinner table candles to the ballroom and danced by candlelight.

MCNAB GETS NEW WHITE LAKE FIRE TRUCK: McNab Township has a new fire truck.

The new machine, ini-

tially an oil truck, was purchased from Francis Fuels and remodeled to fit the fire department needs.

The total cost of the truck is $10,000 and will be paid for by the taxpayers insurance money from the old fire truck, and $1,000 contributed by the McNab Volunteer Firemen’s Fund.

This is one quarter the cost it would have been to purchase a new fire truck with the same specifications. McNab Fire Chief Earl Coulas said that it is “pretty well a sister truck

to the one in Glasgow Station.” He added it was “as good or better” than the Dodge Fire Truck in Glasgow Station that was bought in 1974 from Toronto. Chief Coulas said that extra caution has been taken with the keys to the vehicle and added the truck should be in the White Lake fire station tonight.

Callahan Estates: The ABC’s (Arnprior’s Best Community)

by Campanale Homes

On a recent sun-filled Saturday summer morning, Vince Campanale, VicePresident of Campanale Homes welcomed guests and visitors to the grand opening of his company’s latest community, Callahan Estates in Arnprior.

Mayor David Reid, Reeve Walter Stack and Councillors Lynn Grinstead and Dan Lynch were on hand for the ribbon-cutting ceremony and all were more than suitably impressed with the model units and the neighbourhood’s plan.

Vince, having been in home building with his brothers for over 30 years in the region, knows full well what today’s buyers are looking for, and with Callahan estates it’s as easy as A, B, C. A Means accessibility to employment centres and amenities which is a crucial feature to all home buyers and Callahan Estates delivers. With the completion of a well executed and high capacity four-lane highway from Ottawa, Arnprior is now reached by a very minor and safe commute in any season, and without traffic congestion. The numerous shopping and dining areas on Daniel Street are only a short walk away with unheard of safe pedestrian access along tree-lined streets with appropriate traffic lane separation. Quality schools are also on the top of discerning buyers’ lists and Callahan Estates is conveniently located within a few minutes stroll of two award-winning and well-respected public centres of learning.

B Stands for Builders, and Campanale has a track record that is hard to beat.

They are responsible for some of the region’s most desirable communities, including the award-winning Prince of Wales on the Rideau, Riverwood Estates in Arnprior, The Hunt Club Classics, the Forest of Carson Village, The Gates of Longfields, and Woodroffe Walk, just to name a few. Campanale family values, based on integrity and responsiveness to their clients, and can be seen, touched, felt, and experienced in every square foot of each residence they create. Vince and his entire team of professionals never lose sight of the fact that they are helping to provide families with more than just shelter, but also safe and nurturing places to grow.

C Is for community, and Callahan Estates has been planned to honor the memory and namesakes of the property’s original owner with homes that are affordable to the average family or couple. From executive townhomes starting in the low $200’s to well-equipped single’s in the mid $300’s, Campanale Homes has everyone in mind with this uniquely inclusive community.

To those just starting out, having mortgage payments lower than monthly rent charges means getting the benefit of property ownership without sacrificing their day-to-day budget. When families grow and more room is needed, beautifully appointed and well laid out semis and detached homes are located in the same community, avoiding the disruption of moving to another town or neighbourhood. Even empty-nesters will find just the right home with the carefully thought out floor plans that give a warm living space without the burden of over-sized property maintenance and upkeep.

With Campanale Homes, attention to detail is everything, as they know that building it right means building it to last. Brick and stone exterior treatments, real wood cupboards, doors, and trim, natural and man-made stone countertops, ceramic tile, quality fixtures and hardwood floors will stand up to, not only everyday traffic, but anything a busy family can dish out. Having the resources of a dedicated design centre, means Campanale home buyers can express their own tastes and values in a very personal way through easyto-arrange custom touches that won’t break the bank. At Vince stated at the grand opening, “We wanted to raise the bar in quality homes to show our family of clients they don’t have to settle for less.”

Of course the only things buyers will have do with less of are mortgage payments, property taxes, and the stress of simply making a living rather than living a real life of family and community. Mayor David Reid was quick to point out the wide and varied array of recreational, educational and employment opportunities his town has developed over the last number of years, to the point where children of current residents are looking to settle on site, rather than relocate out of the area.

With Callahan Estates, Vince Campanale and his very dedicated team have created a true community that will thrive with diversity and grow as rich as the farmlands of the Ottawa Valley.

The sales centre at Callahan Estates, located at the end of Edey Street; just off Daniel Street in Arnprior at is open Monday – Thursday from 11am-7pm and Saturday, Sunday & Holiday from 12pm-5pm. You can call 613-622-0033 or log onto www.campanale.com.

COMMUNITY

Connected to your community

In late summer, being bored never paid off Lifestyle - The day was dragging on. Too slowly to suit me. It was late summer, and my Saturday chores had been done hours before. Neither of my best friends could come to play. I was bored beyond belief!

I sat on the cement step surrounding the boards at the pump in the middle of the yard, and curled dandelion stems, just the way my sister Audrey had taught me.

They were laid out before me like a pile of pale green pencils.

From the same cement stoop, I had played Jacks, but without someone to play with, I soon tired of that too.

Then I braided long pieces of grass, another talent I learned from sister Audrey.

I picked up stones around the pump with my toes.

Then I piled them neatly on the platform.

Finally, I resorted to letting them plop down the well between the boards, and listened to them drop in the well water below.

It was a hot day for late in the summer. My three brothers had gone to the Bonnechere for a swim, and Audrey was visiting her friend Iva on the next farm.

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

There was nothing for me to do. I had dressed and undressed my dolls too often to count, and even Sport, our old Collie dog wasn’t interested in fetching a stick I threw out from my perch on the platform.

I thought of going into the house and telling Mother I was bored, and there was nothing to do. But I knew from past experiences what kind of a reply that would earn me. “Well, get the ball of string out of the cupboard and knit a dishcloth. That will keep you busy for a while.”

I hated knitting dishcloths with a passion. I hated knitting with a passion. Once my sister started me on making a scarf. Bright red wool it was. It didn’t take long to see that something was drastically wrong, when what I had knitted was turning into a complete circle.

Audrey admitted there

was a good possibility I would never be a knitter. I heard her say “hopeless” under her breath. And making dishcloths out of a ball of string that had come in pieces from Briscoe’s General Store was low on my list of fun things to do.

For some reason, I was always able to manage to create what could pass for a dish rag, even though I hated every last stitch I made.

Beads of sweat were on my nose, and I looked over at the house with its blinds down, and the kitchen door tightly closed.

I knew it would be cooler inside than where I was sitting. But what was I going to do when I went in? The house would be as dark as Mother could make it to keep out the summer heat, and I knew the Findlay Oval would be out.

Mother had a talent for working when there was

$10,000 in free upgrades throughout August. t.

Our New Design Centre

very little light. I pictured her sitting at the table stringing beans, or peeling potatoes, or doing some other kitchen chore that didn’t require open windows.

I went to the swing in the grape arbour. It was cooler, but not much, and there sure wasn’t any fun in swinging by myself!

I even thought of phoning bad Marguirite to come over.

I was desperate, I knew, but not that desperate. And the minutes ticked by, as slow as molasses in January!

Well, there was nothing to do but head for the kitchen door. Maybe Mother would raise the blinds and I could look through the new Eaton’s catalogue that had arrived in the mail that week.

Or maybe draw with the bits and pieces of chalk mother kept in a Watkin’s Baking Powder tin on the floor in front of the back door that lead upstairs. It was a flat door, just a slab, really, and a perfect spot to draw or write with chalk.

The rule was, as soon as we finished, it had to be washed off completely.

I opened the back door, and just as I thought, Mother was at the kitchen table,

in the dim light, stringing beans.

I shuffled in, letting out a big sigh, trying to gain sympathy from Mother, who could, as Audrey would say, ‘read any one of us like a book.’

“Nothing to do, eh? ”I knew right away. I was caught. Mother took her eyes off the beans long enough to nod her head towards the back-to-the wall cupboard.

That’s all it took was one nob. I let out a big sigh ... in fact, I sighed all the way to the cupboard.

I reached into the basket that always sat on the bottom shelf, and took out the ball of string and the knitting needles sticking out of it. I got no sympathy from Mother as I headed for the kitchen door and the swing, with the string and the knitting needles.

Never, ever in the 30’s did you say you were bored and there was nothing to do if you were seven years old.

In fact, all you had to do was look bored, and you knew what your fate was.

Another string dish cloth would soon join the other pile in drawer in the backto-the-wall cupboard!

MP touches base MP Cheryl Gallant was pleased that the Town of Renfrew again provided space at the town hall for her to talk to constituents and attendance at the Renfrew clinic was its highest ever. “It is important for Members of Parliament to keep in touch with their constituents and listen to their concerns and issues,” said MP Gallant. “This outreach is the perfect venue for that task, and helps me to understand the real issues concerning Canadians this summer, and more importantly, listening to the people of RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke.” Gallant has mailed notices for clinics in Whitney, Palmer Rapids, Renfrew, Calabogie, Barry’s Bay, Deep River and Matawatchan. The clinics provide people in the more remote areas with a chance to meet and talk to their MP, but it also provides them with assistance for passport applications, Old Age Security, Canada Pension Plan and Employment Insurance claims and concerns.

Harry Mayhew In loving memory of my dear husband, Harry Mayhew, who passed away Sept. 5, 2007.

BERTRAND, VIOLET

Friends may think I have forgotten When at times they see me smile.

But they little know the heartache, My smile hides all the while.

Forever in my heart Your loving wife, Irene HELP WANTED

Puppets coming to Rock the Arts at Renfrew Fair Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Community - Many viewers call them The Puppet People, while company owner Sarah Argue and her puppeteer, Megan Carty, say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re officially Rock the Arts.

Whatever you call them, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all about puppets, compassion, laughter and using imagination to overcome fear, especially the fears experienced by children.

Argue, 30, is an adult with a child-like energy that overflows. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing, too, because she and Carty are bringing

their Rock the Arts show to the Renfrew Fair where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to have the audience in stitches.

There will actually be two shows, at 12:30 and 2:45 p.m. in the youth activities tent next to the grandstand on the Saturday, Sept. 7.

Argue, who gave up her job as a recreation program co-ordinator with the City of Ottawa to start her puppet company four years ago, says she loves making art with her hands, her heart and her head. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how we make all our puppets,â&#x20AC;? says Argue in a visit to the Renfrew Fair to promote

the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We make them with our hands. And we make them with our heart, because I believe in what we teach, and with our heads, because we write all of own scripts.â&#x20AC;?

They have four shows to choose from for about 200 annual shows, at schools, theatres, birthday parties, businesses and fairs, including the Pirate Treasure Show that will be featured at the Renfrew Fair.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know it was going to work, but I know what we do is something different,â&#x20AC;? says the company founder, who grew up in Carp but now lives in Kanata. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We teach being a good person and loving the little things in life, and then we coincide with Ontario school curriculum, so we do a lot of character education.â&#x20AC;?

Puppeteer Carty says everyone simply loves their puppets.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even the adults.

There are dads that maybe get dragged to the show by their children,â&#x20AC;? says Argue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But by the end of the show theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re laughing as hard as their kids,â&#x20AC;? adds Carty, 21. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the best parts of our job, making kids and adults laugh together,â&#x20AC;? says Argue.

Helping generate the laughs are such puppet characters as Corduroy Pete, fortune teller Lady

Lala, Lady Ice, Fiona and Zoey.

Carty says puppets have been a personal inspiration for some time.

She has a photo of herself with a puppet on her hand when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s six or seven years old, back in the days when she already did shows for her family and friends.

Argue says she just always loved acting and being on the stage: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I grew up on Fraggle Rock, the Muppets and Under the

Umbrella Tree. I just want kids to grow up learning about puppetry and falling in love and using their imagination.

Because I never thought those were humans manipulating the puppets.

I just believed they were Fraggles.â&#x20AC;?

Rock the Arts is part of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program that includes four Little Rayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Reptiles shows, balloon art by 4-H Clown Club, face painting and crafts.

Auxiliary’s house tour ticket sales kick into gear at Renfrew Fair Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - It’s a while until Christmas, but preparations are already underway for the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Auxiliary’s 2013 Christmas House Tour.

Members are hoping the fundraiser will make a significant dent in the auxiliary’s commitment to raise $130,000 toward new operating equipment for the hospital.

Meanwhile, the auxiliary has other fundraisers, including its hospital gift shop sales, ongoing lottery tickets at Aikenhead’s, tortières sales and a raffle for a hand-carved rocking horse.

The Christmas House Tour takes place on Sunday, Dec. 1 from 12:30 to 5 p.m.

“It gives participants tremendous ideas for Christmas decorating, and all the homes are great,” says house tour co-chair Mary Barr.

The tour features seven homes, including 115 Ivy Street and 64 Knight Street in Renfrew and another at 1159 Jamieson Lane, on the edge of town but just inside Horton Township.

The other Renfrew-area homes to be visited, each with its own unique atmosphere, will be at 3028 River Road, 4164 River Road, 2098 Johnston Road and 6 Stokes Road, just off Barr Line in Admaston-Bromley.

House tourers are also invited to stop off, during the tour, for coffee, tea and dessert at Renfrew Victoria Hospital, where there will be merchandise discounts in the hospital gift shop and a display by the Renfrew Art Guild.

House tour sponsors are Carine Bruce Insurance, Broker Link, R & D Insurance Associates and Wilson Investments.

The $25 tickets will be available after the Renfrew Fair at several locations. These will include Aikenhead’s, Dash of Fab, Signature Style and the hospital gift shop in Renfrew, Bittersweet Gallery in Burnstown, Audrey’s In-Town Fashions in Arnprior, Candlewick in Cobden and Occasion Lane in Pembroke.

Renfrew Victoria Hospital CEO Randy Penney picks up the first ticket for the RVH Auxiliary’s 2013 Christmas House Tour from Mary Barr, co-chair of the Christmas House Tour, and, at right, Mae Craig, president of the RVH Auxiliary. As part of its commitment to raise $130,000 for hospital care, the auxiliary is initiating the public sale of the tickets at the Renfrew Fair, which runs Sept. 7 to 11.

The $25 tickets will be available at the auxiliary’s fair booth in the armouries.

Ontario juvenile golf titles to McNulty, St-Germain Steve Newman Renfrew Mercury

Sports - Rounds of twounder 69 went a long way for Ontario’s 2013 juvenile golf champions.

Grace St-Germain, 15, of Orleans used an opening-round 69 to take the lead, which she lost during the final round.

But she birdied the 17th hole, to force a three-way playoff, then won the first extra hole at Renfrew Golf Club Aug. 22.

There was no playoff for Sam McNulty, 16, of Port Perry, who collected four birdies over the last 11 holes, on finishing day, for a two-under 69.

With earlier rounds of 70 and 72, his total score of twounder 213 gave him a twoCLAIRE WELSH/GAO stroke victory margin and the Ontario juvenile golf champions, Grace St-Germain of Orleans and Sam McNulty of Port Mike Weir Trophy.

St-Germain took home the Perry display their championship hardware at the Renfrew Golf Club.

Sandra Post Trophy after winning a playoff with Alyssa Getty of Leamington and Kennedy Bodfield of St. Catharines. All three had finished with five-over totals of 218.

A birdie on the first playoff hole sealed the deal for the Team Ontario member who also won this year’s Ontario junior girls match play title.

St-Germain, who plays out of Ottawa’s Hylands Golf Club, was paired on the final day with Getty, the provincial bantam champion in 2009 who plays out of the Kingsville Golf and Country Club.

“On 16 I bogeyed and Alyssa birdied, so at that point we evened out again,” said StGermain.

“Then when I birdied 17 with a six-footer, it kind of relaxed me a bit heading back in.”

Unbeknownst to the pair, a third contender had worked

her way into the mix. Bodfield, 16, birdied the 15th hole and parred the final three holes to finish with a five-over total.

Finishing a group ahead of the St-Germain-Getty pairing, Bodfield watched as St-Germain came down the 18th fairway, also at five-over.

Needing a birdie to stay alive, Getty rolled in a 12-footer, while St-Germain parred to create a three-way playoff.

“I was kind of scared, thinking that now I had to go to a playoff with Alyssa,” said StGermain. “Then in the scoring tent they told us that Kennedy was coming too, so I was nervous.”

Her apprehension wasn’t evident to the large gallery of spectators that watched her confidently place her approach shot within six feet for a birdie opportunity on the first playoff hole.

Renfrew and Eganville golfers take positives from provincials Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Sports - The only two local golfers participating in the Ontario juvenile championships missed the 36-hole cut, but both say they’ve taken home valuable lessons.

Renfrew Golf Club played host to the under-17 provincial event for boys and girls that brought 118 golfers together for the event organized by the Golf Association of Ontario.

The local representatives were Lauren Middlemiss, 16, of Eganville and Josh Barnes, 15, of Renfrew.

Middlemiss shot rounds of 89 and 93 for a 182 total that left her 12 shots shy of making the cut. Barnes’s 85-91–76 missed the boys’ cut qualifying mark of 152.

But both golfers still spoke about lessons Lauren Middlemiss of Eganville learned, in their first provincial championships, smacks this drive to start her sec- after facing new levels of nervousness on the ond round during the Ontario ju- links.

Barnes had played much better leading up to venile golf championships.

the championships, while reducing his handicap from 15 a year ago to seven this season.

That means he regularly plays in the mid-high 70s.

“It was a lot of fun, it was different and it was very competitive,” said Barnes. “I learned a lot; it was very humbling.”

Barnes admitted that he’d never been in a tournament where he felt so much pressure, because of its official status and the presence of spectators.

‘IN THE MOMENT’

More than anything, Barnes said he’ll return to future championships with a better idea of how to stay in the moment, instead of thinking too much about how he was playing.

“It was a rough tournament. I was nervous all the time,” said Barnes, suggesting his jitters will be handled better next time out.

Continued from sports front

Bodfield bogeyed after knocking a flyer out of the sand, well over the green, while Getty two-putted for a par.

At first, St-Germain figured it was an easy putt, but she was nervous standing over the putt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My legs were shaking. I was just thinking, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss this,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels really good,â&#x20AC;? said St-Germain after hoisting the trophy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was nice to win close to home because there were lots of familiar faces, like some of the rules officials from the OVGA (Ottawa Valley Golf Association) events that I played in when I was little.â&#x20AC;?

McNulty, who plays out of Gran-

Positives Continued from sports front

The son of Scott and Lesley Barnes also showed he can battle back. For example, on opening day he hit his approach shot into the bunker below the 13th hole before two-putting from the edge of the green for a bogey five. But on the ensuing 185-yard 14th hole, he hit a six-iron within 10 feet of the pin and sank the putt for his only

ite Golf Club, started the final round tied for the lead with Peterboroughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sam Meek and Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Charlie Watson, with nine others within three strokes.

Bogeys on the fifth and sixth hole on the final day didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help matters, but McNulty wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dissuaded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew some people might crumble if they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t used to it, so if I just stayed steady Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be good. Having that experience really helps,â&#x20AC;? said McNulty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew that if I just played my game I had a fairly good chance of winning. I hit a lot of greens. My putter was a little off on the second day, but it worked out.â&#x20AC;? It was also the fourth significant win of the season for the McNulty family.

Older brother Jake took the 2013 Investors Group Ontario junior boys title in addition to capturing the Investors Group Junior Spring Clas-

birdie of the tournament.

Middlemiss, too, says she expects to be less nervous the next time sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in such a prestigious tournament.

The teenager, who the week before won the club title at her own Whitetail Golf Club, said she found the provincial tournament atmosphere intimidating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The golfers were very serious, they all have coaches and they play on very expensive courses,â&#x20AC;? said Middlemiss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best thing is that I real-

sic title in May, while Sam won the Williamson Cup in New York this month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve both got some bragging rights now,â&#x20AC;? said a laughing McNulty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels good because we can feed off each other, we know we can play against each other and we practise together all the time.â&#x20AC;?

Two strokes back, sharing second place at 213, were Watson and McNultyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Team Ontario teammate, Conner Watt of Mississauga.

Watt closed with a one-under 70, which featured four birdies, a bogey and a double-bogey. Watson had rounds of 69, 73 and 71.

Austin Kirkwood of Sault Ste. Marie and Tyler Douse of Waterloo tied for fourth at 214.

The top Ottawa Valley finisher was 17th-place Nicholas Brisebois of Kanata. He shot rounds of 72, 74

ized Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not that different,â&#x20AC;? said Middlemiss, who was regularly hitting 200 yards off the tee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could outdrive most of them, but my short game wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t strong. The worst part was trying to compete in the heat of the day.â&#x20AC;? Her putting has markedly improved in the past year with the help of drills done with her father and coach, Dave Middlemiss, but she says her short game needs work.

She also needs to control of her butterflies.

Nicholas Brisebois of Kanata hits his fairway shot to the 16th green during first-round action. Brisebois was the top Ottawa Valley boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; finisher, in 17th place.

Charlie Watson of Toronto tied for second.

and 75 to finish eight strokes back of McNulty.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I need to focus more, as opposed to thinking about my score or what I need to shoot.â&#x20AC;?

Despite missing the cut, Middlemiss said her game continues to improve. She also hopes to take something from the coaching made available at the championships.

Perhaps the best piece of advice, she explained, was to continue using the patterns or habits that are working in her game.

Because good golf depends on effective repetition.

STEVE BLOK

Under the lights Two-time Formula Tour Series Champion Nathan Blok continued his limited schedule in the Canadian Touring Car Championship with a strong weekend in Trois-Rivieres Aug. 16-18. He posted a pair of fourthplace finishes, including Friday night in his first night race. “The race was very fun and exciting, but it was very difficult to tell who was where in the night, especially when we were in traffic,” Blok said. “I’ve always dreamed of racing under the lights, but it’s a lot faster than you would expect, because you lose all your reference points you don’t even know you are using during the day.”

Don’t miss the always popular Renfrew Fair Demolition Derby Wednesday, Sept. 4 at 7:30 p.m.

Sports - They finished 1-2 in the regular season, and now, Pitt Contracting and Young Guns will be battling for the 2013 Ma-Te-Way Mixed Slo Pitch League championship.

Pitt’s ran their regular season-playoff unbeaten streak to 17 games with a three-game sweep over Mac’s Milk, capped by a 9-8 victory Aug. 19.

Lindsay Rowan singled home Lindsay Wall with the series-clinching run in the bottom of the seventh inning for Pitt’s.

Lance Dougherty and Curtis

Murdock homered in support of winning pitcher Mitchell Jamieson.

Bob Drouillard and Frank Meilleur answered in the longball department for Mac’s Milk, who owned a 7-1 lead midway through the contest. Rob Essiambre handled mound duties.

Militant Outdoors trailed 20 in the previous round of the playoffs before answering with three consecutive wins to ousted Blue Wave Energy.

Last week, Militant enjoyed their own 2-0 series lead in the semifinal, and 13-6 lead in game three when things changed.

The Young Guns closed the

gap to 13-12 in the sixth, and then pulled out a 14-13 thriller when Taylor Green drove in Brianna Yolkowskie and Tyler Miller with the tying and gamewinning runs in the seventh frame.

Miller, Erik Mask and Andrew Green homered for the Young Guns.

Walker Mullen, Jon Lowe and pitcher Dave Guthro circled the bases for Militant.

Joel Corbin’s grand slam with two out in the sixth broke open a 12-11 game, propelling Young Guns to a 22-12 win in game four. Andrew Green also went deep while Karla Belton

collected four hits.

Barb Beimers had a basesloaded double for Militant in game three, and two more RBI in game four.

Pitt’s jumped out to a 94 lead in the series-deciding game five, and cruised to a 12-8 triumph Aug. 21.

Lindsay Edwards pitched her third victory of the series.

She received home run support from Mask, Taylor Green and Joel Blemkie.

Jon Lowe clubbed two roundtrippers and Denver Mullen one for Militant.

Julie Mahusky added three hits in games four and five.

Terry Fox Run Sunday, Sept. 15 Staff

Sports - The 2013 Terry Fox Run is Sunday, Sept. 15 from the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre in Renfrew.

Registration is from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. in the lobby.

No minimum pledge is required. Just collect pledges or simply show up and make a donation. The run begins at 12 noon.

This year there are three route options: 5-km and 10km routes through the streets of Renfrew, and a new 2-km option around the track at MaTe-Way Park.

The organizers note this is a great option for young fami-

lies or those who find the other distances too long.

The Renfrew Lions Club will be serving refreshments to participants and Sunlife will be providing a free barbecue lunch to all participants.

Balloons will be available for purchase at $2 each prior to the run to honour a loved one.

The balloons will be released at the beginning of the run.

Upon registering, each participant will be given a ballot to enter a draw for a chance to win a gift card.

Local businesses have generously donated gift cards to say ‘thank you’ for your participation in this year’s run.

Organizers Tanya Campbell

and Sheena Pilgrim invite people to visit their fair booth in the Armouries, sponsored by Sunlife, to purchase t-shirts, make a donation or pick up a pledge sheet.

Pledge sheets are also available at local banks, Curves, Aikenhead’s, the Renfrew Recreation Centre and Renfrew Town Hall.

Renfrew has had an annual Terry Fox Run since 1982; $337,000 has been raised by Renfrew and area since then.

For more information, contact Tanya Campbell at 613433-9380 or bcampbell22@ sympatico.ca or Sheena Pilgrim at 613-433-8210 or spilgrim@deslaurier.ca

Downtown Balderson probably has fewer residents than the posted speed limit of 50 kilometres per hour, but it does have Ema Lee Fashions, the largest ladies clothing store in the Ottawa Valley.

When Emily Desjardine and Gerry McSweeney bought the old general store in Balderson, situated seven kilometres north of Perth in 2002, there was quite a buzz going around. They were called crazy, told to bulldoze it down and that their business would never succeed. With one year of hard work and persistence, the renovations were complete and their business began.

Ten years later Ema Lee Fashions, which is open seven days a week, is still going strong.

Well known for its vast selection of ladies apparel, purses, bathing suits and men’s shirts, the demographic area of returning customers and new visitors keeps growing larger and larger.

“We have customers from Ottawa, Kingston and Toronto, just to name a

few, but I find it absolutely amazing to think that from this little hamlet, our clothes have travelled all around the world,” Desjardine said.

“But our success could not be possible without our dedicated staff and the support from the surrounding areas,” she continued. “It’s nice to hear customers tell us that while visiting Perth, the ladies from the Chamber of Commerce sent them our way.”

In 2007, Ema Lee Fashions was named as ‘The best in Canada’ for destination shopping. Customers sum it up by commenting, “If you can’t find anything here, you’re not shopping,” and

“What a hidden treasure.”

Another French visitor said “Ca vaut le detour,” (It’s worth the detour.)

While visiting Ema Lee Fashions, you can also enjoy breakfast or lunch at the quaint Balderson Café, buy local produce and all-natural ice cream at Balderson Fine Foods or treat yourself to some homemade pies, bread and lemon squares from Anne & Vanessa’s Bake Shop. All of the stores are adjacent to each other.

Across the road, you will find Balderson Village Cheese, The Amish Store and Cora’s Gift Shop.

There’s plenty to discover in Downtown Balderson!

Greater Madawaska council correction Charges after spike belt deployed There were two errors in the clear bag portion of the Greater Madawaska Township article in the Aug. 22 Renfrew Mercury.

The story referred to the

municipality generating 277.96 megatons of waste in one six-month period in 2012, compared to 195.7 in 2013.

Those numbers were actually metric tons of waste.

Also, the township saved $5,500 in tipping fees and $7,800 in wages, fuel and trucking costs for a total savings of $13,300.

The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have laid criminal charges against a 20-year-old Pembroke resident after an Aug. 16 fleeing suspect appre-

Renfrew Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public high schools are a surprisingly busy place in the summer.

This summer Kaity Boettger, Ryan Lanoue, Eric Parisien, Matthew Sernoskie, Josiah Gaudette, Joshua Mayo, Travis Richards, Jacob Doering, Connor Cobb and Andrew Jackson have helped out with the new program.

The students were hired by the RCDSB plant and custodial departments for four weeks.

Each student was selected from the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special education program and had to submit a resume to the plant department.

The student-employees work closely with RCDSB custodial staff helping out cleaning and preparing schools for September.

“This inaugural summer work program for secondary students is an opportunity for the RCDSB to celebrate the skills and talents of our special needs students while providing them with a real life experience in the world of work,” said Roger Clarke, the board’s director of education.

“As a learning organization, we need to find ways to support all our students with relevant real-life experiences.”

Three participating high schools were in the Renfrew area.

At Renfrew Collegiate Institute, student Andrew Jackson, 18, of Cobden wrapped up his a month of weeding, cleaning and other custodial tasks Aug. 15.

“Andrew has been a lot of help for us,” said RCI custodian Denis Verdon. “And he was polite, courteous and on time.”

At Opeongo High School, the students were Jacob Doering and Connor Cobb. At Arnprior District High School, they were Kaity Boettger and Ryan Lanoue.

RCDSB facility dispatcher Mike O’Malley and facility services secretary Michelle Giles spearheaded the multi-school program.

“Any credit to the plant department should go to Michelle and Mike,” said Bill Murray, manager of health, safety and facility services.

“They have been in touch with students and chiefs to get everyone off to a successful start.

In addition, the chiefs that I have had a chance to touch base with about this have been very positive as well.”

“I’m so proud of our staff for having the initiative to create job opportunities for our special needs students,” said director Clarke.

Local cadets earn their wings Two local air cadets, Warrant Officer 2nd Class (WO2) Alexander Cremer and WO2 Garnet Gladwin received their ‘wings’ at the Power Pilot scholarship (PPS) graduation ceremony held at the Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton Aug. 16.

WO2 Cremer and WO2 Gladwin graduated from the Air Cadet PPS program held at the Discovery Aviation Academy in Sudbury.

WO2 Cremer graduated top of the class in the Sudbury Group.

Both cadets are members of Renfrew 653 Air Cadet Squadron. They joined 75 other Air Cadet PPS graduates from across Ontario for the Hamilton event.

The PPS is one of the highest achievements in the Air

Cadet Program. During the intensive seven-week course the cadets earned their private pilot's license.

The course contained both ground school and flying components culminating with the Transport Canada examination and flight test.

To qualify for the PPS, WO2 Cremer and WO2 Gladwin were required to compete in a points system against hundreds of other cadets across Ontario.

They were graded on an aviation exam, narrative, interview, Air cadet activities, community activities, and their school marks. Both cadets are five-year members of the Air Cadet program.

In addition to the PPS, the air cadet program has numerous summer camp activities for all levels of cadets.

County-threat protocol will help make county schools safer Lifestyle - The Student Support Leadership Initiative (SSLI), developed by the Ministries of Education and Children and Youth Services, supports and is aligned with Ontario’s Safe Schools Strategy, and Ontario’s policy framework for child and youth mental health.

The Student Support Leadership initiative was developed in response to changes to the safe schools provisions of the Education Act and school boards formed partnerships with community agencies to provide non-academic supports that promote positive student behaviour.

With these partners, and with the guidance of Kevin Cameron, director of the Canadian Centre for Threat Assess-

ment and Trauma Response, a Renfrew County protocol was developed and was formally adopted with representatives from each partner signing at an event held May 13 at the Pembroke Travelodge.

This protocol supports collaborative planning among schools, community partners, families and individuals to reduce violence and to reflect safe, caring and restorative approaches.

It fosters timely sharing of information about an individual who poses a risk for violence towards themselves or others.

The protocol is the process of deliberately trying to ‘connect the dots’ to assess the level of risk that a person is moving on a path towards serious

violence before a violent act occurs. The protocol promotes supportive and preventive plans being put in place.

The strength of this partnership between school boards and community partners lies in the multidisciplinary composition of the Community Threat Assessment Team (C-TAT).

“The C-TAT members review and share information, examine details of threatening situations or evidence, collaborate and use the broad range of expertise of the members,” said SSLI chair Ivan Saari.

“Respecting an individual’s rights to privacy and the safety of all are key components of this process.”

and community safety.

Individuals of concern are members of our Renfrew County community and citizens in our municipalities.

Saari explains that â&#x20AC;&#x153;someone who discloses they are going to harm another is not limited to doing so at a school, the community rink, dance studio or convenience store. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The supports that are beneficial do not reside with any one school or

agency, but are the responsibility of all to assess the level of threat and devise an action plan to support the individual(s) and others who are being impacted or may be impacted by harmful behaviour.â&#x20AC;?

In recognition that many instances may arise from detection during school programs, a letter will be sent home at the start of the school

year with students in all four school boards explaining the process as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fair noticeâ&#x20AC;? a threat assessment may occur and intervention/support plans will be shared with parents, staff and students as required.

The SSLI is appreciative to the spectrum of partners engaged in the certification process, the steering committee and this protocol adoption.

They include the four school boards, the three OPP detachments, Phoenix Centre, Family and Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Services, Petawawa Military Family Resource Centre, Bernadette McCann House for Women, Mental Health Services Renfrew County-Pembroke General Hospital, Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sexual Assault Centre and Community Living Upper Ottawa Valley.

COMMUNITY

Kids helping kids at the Dairy Queen Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Community - When people think of ice cream, no matter what their age, it brings back found memories of when they were young, says Valerie Salvati, owner of the Dairy Queen in Renfrew.”

It basically brings out the ‘kid’ in everyone,” she adds.

The kids took centre stage at the Dairy Queen in Renfrew, Wednesday Aug. 8 to make miracles happen by other kids.

They were in charge from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. to ensure that the proceeds from anyone buying a DQ Blizzard went to help their fellow children at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO).

“Although Dairy Queen Restaurants are found throughout North America, all proceeds from the entire day stay local,” Salvati noted.

“Every reader knows some family that has had a child that has benefited from the wonderful resources and staff at CHEO and the Children’s Miracle Network. The kids really showed us how it is done.

“The special staff would like to thank everyone for being a sponsor for the Children’s Miracle Network and also to thank you for saving a child’s life,” Salvati added.

“Children are truly the miracles of the world.”

President’s Message

BE READY.

Continuing as your president for the 2013 year, I would like to congratulate the directors and their committees for the excellent support during our 2012 edition of the Renfrew Fair.

It was an unprecedented, trying experience due to the weather.

However, every organization has trying years and we must optimistically look forward to a year of normality in 2013.

Once again, let us look forward to a friendly competition, family entertainment and family involvement that have been prevalent for many decades.

Thanks to all fair supporters on behalf of the present directors.

Robert A. Johnston President

Blushing Brides pay tribute to Rolling Stones

Grandstand kickoff Simon Clarke opens three days of music on the grandstand stage at the 2013 Renfrew Fair when he hits the stage Thursday at 8 p.m.

According to the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, in late 1978 Kingston musician Paul Martin was dragged into a dingy club in Montreal and told the band playing there that night would be of interest to him as a connoisseur of the music of the Rolling Stones.

He was told he would appreciate this local Montreal bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s antics and approach to performing covers of not just the Stones, but of Bowie, Dylan, Springsteen and the J. Geils Band. Not just covers of the hits of these artists, but obscure numbers as well, B sides, not normally heard from a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;classic cover bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After seeing this interesting little troupe called Jade, he decided to make a gesture to the front-man of Jade, one Maurice Raymond. Would he, Maurice, be interested in joining his band, Consilium as their front-man,â&#x20AC;? the website says. Maurice took up Paul on his offer.

After a name change, on New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eve 1979, the former Consilium became The Blushing Brides. The rest, as they say, is history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After 30-plus years of touring the Brides continue to bring fans of the Rolling Stones a unique performance perspective on the music of the Stones.

Far more violent, sexual, and daring then the now cookie-cutter type performances of the Stones, The Brides continue to live up to the title, The Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Most Dangerous Tribute to the Music of The Rolling Stones,â&#x20AC;? the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website says.

Their music is crossover heaven, a perfect blend of country rock, pop and haunting ballads. Carey and Danny were raised in a musical family from Cochrane, Ont. and have spent their lives making music, writing songs, recording and playing live. Braiden, also from a musical family, calls herself a ‘studio rat’. She has spent most of her life writing and recording songs in her home studio.”

A singer, songwriter, philanthropist and NHL sixthround draft pick by the Vancouver Canucks in 2003, Canadian country music artist Chad Brownlee (MDM Recordings Inc./Universal Music Canada) is a man of many talents.

In recent years his singles have been rapidly climbing the country music charts, frequently cracking the top 10 (his new single Crash was released to radio on Feb. 19, 2013.

For this British Columbia native, a strong work ethic defines his successful transition from the ice rink to spotlight and stage, even combining his dual-passion as he supported MusicCounts playing in the 2013 JUNO Cup. A culmination of many days and nights on the road and hours in the studio, Brownlee has been taking the country music world by storm, recently receiving his first Juno Award nomination for the 2013 Country Album of the Year.

“All I ever wanted to do was sing,” says Fricke Janie Fricke has gone from Indiana farm girl to internationally-acclaimed recording artist throughout her career.

She was born in South Whitley, Indiana, and raised on a 400-acre farm where her father taught her how to play guitar.

From county fairs to corporate trade shows, live concerts, in recording studios, or before millions on television, Fricke’s individual sound and performance personality has captivated audiences around the world.

Fricke began her career singing in a “little church up the road” where her mother played piano.

She sang at local coffeehouses, high school events, as well as her way through college where she obtained her degree from Indiana University in elementary education.

Fricke then chose a musical career, working in Memphis, Dallas and Los Angeles.

There, as one of the marketing industry’s most successful jingle singers, her voice became known to millions as the voice for such advertising giants as United Airlines, Coca-Cola, 7-Up and Red Lobster. Her voice led her to singing sessions for Country artists such as Loretta Lynn, Eddie Rabbitt, Crystal Gayle, Ronnie Milsap, Barbara Mandrell, Mel Tillis, Johnny Duncan and others.

She has also been given the privilege Janie Fricke will be featured Satur- to sing on albums for Charlie Rich and Elvis Presley, after their deaths. day on the grandstand stage.

It was a line in Johnny Duncan’s single Stranger that ultimately gained the most attention for Fricke.

When it hit the top of the charts in 1977, fans wanted to know who sang the line, “Shut out the light and lead me...” The music industry took notice as her voice was heard on duets with Merle Haggard, Moe Bandy and others, leading her to her first major recording contract.

Fricke soon began to dominate the country charts with smash hits such as Don’t Worry ‘ Bout Me Baby, He’s a Heartache and Your Heart’s Not In It. It was only a matter of time before

she started winning awards. Included among them are Country Music Association’s Female Vocalist of the Year, Music City News Female Vocalist of the Year, Billboard Top Country Female Vocalist, Cash Bed Top Country Female Vocalist, Academy of Country Music Female Vocalist of the Year, British-based Country Music Round Up Most Popular International Female Solo Act, and she was chosen to the Country Music Hall of Fame Walkway of Stars.

Twice she has been nominated for the coveted Grammy Award, once for her It Ain’t Easy Being Easy In her recording career, Fricke

has released 23 albums and 36 hit singles.

When she relaxes she spends time with her husband Jeff and her animals. She attends church near her home, remembering from childhood the importance of her confirmation.

Thankful for her blessings, she feels these values have helped her become the woman she is today.

From an Indiana farm girl to an internationally acclaimed recording artist, she has never lost the pure heart and love of music that launched her career. And today, Janie Fricke sings on.

The Roys bring love of bluegrass to town The Roys are on stage at 8 p.m. at the Renfrew Fair grandstand Saturday night. The recording Lonesome Whistle was the culmination of a dream that began for The Roys during childhood. Elaine and Lee were born in Fitchburg, Mass., and the family later relocated to a small town called Coal Branch in New Brunswick.

Rural Ramble in the Valley just around the corner Communications co-ordinator OVTA

Community - The fall touring season is just around the corner and the Rural Ramble website is now accepting 2013 event submissions.

The annual Rural Ramble is organized by the Ottawa Valley Tourist Association (OVTA), and over the years has grown from a small two-day farm tour to a free, on-going festival running from Sept. 1 to Oct. 31.

The Rural Ramble features four themes: Adventure & Exploration, Agriculture & Food,

History & Heritage and Arts & Culture.

The website www.theruralramble.ca, designed by Blue North Studios, showcases special events that take place during the Rural Ramble time frame. Rural Ramblers are able to customize their own fall touring experiences using an online interactive map. They will be able to create, download and print customized routes based on the dates and themes of their choice.

Introduced in 2012, the online format of the Rural Ramble means that printing and distri-

bution costs are removed. These savings are being passed onto Rural Ramble sites.

The cost to submit a Rural Ramble event is free for OVTA members and includes an unlimited number of listings.

Non-OVTA members are also welcome to participate in the Rural Ramble.

The cost to participate for non-members is $40 for the first listing and $15 for every additional listing, Rural Ramble events are to be submitted online. Simply create an account on www.theruralramble.ca and follow the step-by-step submis-

sion form.

The consumer portion of the website is still under construction as it is based on the site submissions received. Be sure to check back often as new sites are being added daily.

The Rural Ramble is the perfect opportunity for the cultivation of new friendships and to experience Valley hospitality.

Come back to the countryside with us.

The OVTA is the official destination marketing organization for the Upper Ottawa Valley and proudly represents more than 240 tourism businesses.

Sixth Festival of Senses Oct. 5, 6 Debbie Knaut Festival of the Senses

Community - The sixth annual Festival of the Senses in and around the villages of Calabogie and Burnstown will take place Oct. 5 and 6.

Once again this will involve about 20 organizations and businesses. Here are some of our new festival site activities: • A Sense of Antiquity features John Holyer of Ottawa Valley Antiques in Douglas. He has been buying and selling antiques for over 45 years. John will bring his considerable skill to the tables at Calabogie’s Heritage Point, Saturday, Oct. 5, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

He will appraise your attic treasure for a nominal fee of $5 per item or three items for $10. This will be a perfect opportunity to find out more about some special piece you have kept dusted for years. Please, no jewelry or large pieces of furniture. All other items are welcomed.

• A Sense of Caring sponsored by Calabogie Home Support will see a flea market on the lawn in front of the indoor storage building (formally Pinky’s) Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (rain date Sunday, Oct. 6).

Tables are available for anyone interested in selling items for only $10.

This money goes to the Calabogie Home Support and sellers keep their profits. This will be a perfect opportunity to declutter and support a very worth while organization. To reserve your table, please call 613-752-2828.

• Sense of Native Journey will include a native drum circle, led by Lanark Drum from Carleton Place. The public is invited to

Geo-caching, antiques, native journeys and church lunches FOOD SERVICE WORKER participate,as there are extra drums and rattles available. Learn native songs and their special teachings while gathered around the Medicine Wheel across from Barnet Park, Sunday 2 to 4 p.m.

• Sense of Rhythm is a community drum circle. You will find this at Barnet Park on Saturday from 11 a.m. until noon.

• Some of our returning sites include local churches who will continue their tradition of light lunches and harvest fare. On Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. St. Andrew’s United Church will have contemporary and traditional gospel music. Most Precious Blood Catholic Church will have harvest pies available on the Sunday, after church.

• A Sense of Discovery will highlight one of 15 geocaches in the area. Geocaching is a world-wide, high-tech treasure hunting game played by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors, and then share your experiences online.

Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and an interest in supporting the environment.

See www.geocaching.com to learn more about the sport.

• A Sense of Freshness, the Matawatchan Market is a new site. It runs both days.

Immature red-tailed hawk visits the area

A report from Bob O’Donnell, on birds at the golf club, no pun intended.

I can finally report the most successful nest box results in the 14 years that I have had nest boxes on the Renfrew golf course. There were three blue bird nestings with a total of 14 young fledged, a remarkable year.

While golfing last Thursday my partner Clayton Eady described to me how he exited his house on the Pinnacle to be confronted by a very large crane-like bird. The bird was foraging in his tomato patch but flew away when Clayton attempted to take a photo. His description of the bird indicated a sandhill crane.

Then on Sunday while putting on the eighth green I was distracted by a bird’s shadow passing over. The bird circling overhead was a broadwinged hawk and as it circled a smaller raptor flew up to harass the hawk. I think the smaller bird was a merlin and it persisted in its behav-

Scene from the Hawk’s Eye iour until the hawk flew away.

BIRDS OF PREY

Canadian Raptor Conservancy’s primary focus is to educate the general public about birds of prey and their continuing important role in our natural world. The Conservancy performs live, free-flight demonstrations across Canada.

Some of the fabulous birds that are used in their shows include the bald eagle, golden eagle, Harris hawk, barn owl, great horned owl, red-tailed hawk, peregrine falcon, American kestrel and turkey vulture.

The Conservancy will be holding six shows at the Renfrew Fair – three on Saturday, Sept. 7, and three on Sunday, Sept. 8, at noon, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. each day.

It will be an opportunity for all interested birders and non-birders to see these wonderful birds up close and observe them performing for their handlers. Take time to see at least one of the shows. It will be well worth the effort.

MORE ARE MOVING

Within the next few weeks our flycatchers will be starting their migration.

The earliest warbler to go is the yellow warbler and the last to go (Dec. 20) is the yellow-rumped warbler.

Tree swallows leave as soon as their young have fledged but Eastern phoebes will stay as long (Oct. 15, 2006) as there are ber-

This species is facing difficult times. Loss of protected areas that have small stones for nesting materials and insecticide use on their wintering grounds in South America do the most damage. Night hawks are well worth protecting.

A flock of Canada geese was seen searching grain stubble for any oats left by the harvester. This will soon become a common sight until snow covers the ground. Replacing damaged feathers and building up fat reserves will be the main duties of most birds as they prepare for migration. It will also be a time for northern birds to arrive.

Terry Cunningham had an immature red-tailed hawk drop in at his home this week looking for food.

Young birds are always hungry and will often put aside their fears, if they have any, to satisfy their need for something to eat.

Young hawks and birds in general injure themselves because of clumsy flying and hunting skills. They have many natural predators, skunks, raccoons, feral cats, turtles and other hawks as well. But if they survive the first winter they have a good chance of reaching the maxmium age for their species.

If you should find an injured bird protect it from predators and give it natural foods: seeds, worms, grasshoppers, mice to find out its food preferences. Once these items are known, you can feed them what is best for them. Don’t be disappointed, mortality rates are high among birds and only two survive of all birds born every year to return here to nest.
