Hyndford man suffers burns in demolition derby

Renfrew Hydro reports on the past and looks to the future. – Page 4

Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Kevin Kilby of Hyndford is being treated for signiďŹ cant burns at TorontoĘźs Sunnybrook Hospital after a demolition derby ďŹ re Saturday night. The incident occurred at the Cobden Fair, from which he was transported to Renfrew Victoria Hospital. KilbyĘźs body caught on ďŹ re after the fuel tank in his vehicle apparently became dislodged during the demolition derby. He was competing in the large-car grudge match, or ďŹ nal opportunity to reach the ďŹ nal. A large crowd was on hand when the ďŹ re broke out shortly after 10 p.m. One of the spectators, and friend of KilbyĘźs, was Rosalie Felhaber of Renfrew. “It took a while for him to get his seatbelt off,â€? said Felhaber, who saw Kilby jump out the paneless driverĘźs window and roll on the ground. “It was just awful to watch that,â€? she said. “His arms, chest and face were burned.â€? About a dozen ďŹ reďŹ ghters were on the scene, and quickly able to extinguish the ames in the car, said Captain

John Cull of the Whitewater Region ďŹ re department. St. John Ambulance service was on the scene for treatment, before the paramedic unit arrived and took Kilby to the Renfrew hospital. It was then decided, shortly after midnight, to airlift him to Sunnybrook Hospital, site of the countryĘźs largest burn centre. But because of a busy schedule for the Ornge helicopter service, the Renfrew County paramedic unit drove Kilby to Trenton, from where Kilby was own to Sunnybrook, says Renfrew County paramedic service deputy chief Michel Ruest. Cobden Agricultural Society spokesman Brian Hamilton said CAS members and volunteers offered their thoughts and concerns for the 20-year-old and his family, and were pleased to learn that he was in stable condition on Monday. This was the ďŹ rst serious mishap in the Cobden FairĘźs 11 years of demolition derbies, added Hamilton. A year ago, Kilby suffered serious injuries in a twovehicle crash near Douglas that took the life of his friend, Adam Donald McLeod.

MERCURY PHOTOS BY LUCY HASS/METROLAND

Jim Hass of Renfrew at his sawmill on Hass Road. The mill, which hasn’t been used since last year, was about to be used when a major storm July 23 damaged the mill, barns, the house and numerous trees on the Hass Road property in Admaston-Bromley Township.

Renfrew man faces fury of summer storm lucy.hass@metroland,com

July 23. It was an afternoon Jim Hass of Renfrew will never forget. He had just finished his customary 3 p.m. cup of tea when the report came that a vicious summer storm was tearing through Eganville. Hass decided to call it a day and head back home to Renfrew. But he only made it to the gate. Three-quarters of an hour later, he was still on the property with a world of damage around him and a tale to tell of natureʼs power and fury. Hass had just closed the latch on the gate when the storm hit. “I was just at the gate and there was a little cloud and rain coming and I thought, oh, weʼre not going to get much.” He was very wrong. “It went so dark, you couldnʼt even see two feet in front of the truck. “In a couple of minutes there was sheets of rain like Iʼve never seen it, right up in the sky about eight feet,” he said. “Youʼd swear to God it was a white sheet. It came down across the fields there,” he said, pointing into the distance. Then everything turned black and the hail came. Big hail. Hass waited out the storm in the truck. “I backed up against the fence about as tight as I could,” Hass said. “I thought it (the wind) was going to upset the truck. My old truck was going like this,” he said, motioning from side to side. “It was about three-quarters of an hour of pounding. I got out of the truck and there was about two inches of ice on the ground. Thatʼs how long it pounded away at us. It didnʼt just last for a couple of minutes,” he said. Hass figures the hail was an inch and a half wide. It left its mark everywhere on the property – deep scars on barns, stacks of lumber, vehicles and more. There were also broken windows and gashes in the siding of the house on the homestead. The wind lifted the roof off one of the barns. When the storm ended, he pushed some of the fallen trees off the road and he saw a lot of damage down toward Bernard Hannimanʼs property. He wasnʼt aware how severe the damage was in the other direction, going toward Sammally Lake and the old Pat Lynch store. Last Friday morning, heavy equipment was ripping through the tattered landscape in the area of John Fitchettʼs property. Major repairs were also underway on Rick Hassʼs new home. HERITAGE HIT HARD

Sawmills have been in the Hass family for a century. In the early 1900s Martin Hass, who was born in Prussia, Germany, opened his first sawmill on the property. Another mill was set up later with Jimʼs father, Michael. It stood about 200 yards from

the original site. Jimʼs father Michael ran the mill until the early 1970s, then it sat idle until 1983 when Jim purchased it from his dad. The sawmill hadnʼt run yet this year but it did the previous. In fact, Hass was about to use it when the summer storm struck. “I was bringing the truck up the next day (Tuesday) and was going to start sawing some of my logs up. And then it (the storm) did this to my mill.” The July 23 storm knocked the sawmill off most of its posts. Now Jim is left to salvage what he can from the mix of trees devastated by the storm. Broken trees are scattered everywhere –limbs snapped off and entire trees driven into the soil. “By the time you truck it, you barely get paid for it, but what do you do,” Hass says with a shrug. “You can see the mess, You would never, ever clean it up.” A few steps farther, he points into a thicker part of the forest. “Thereʼs heavy bush down there,” Hass says. “Youʼre pretty near in the heart of the bush. It didnʼt matter where it was, it was such a force of wind that it took everything out. “ Limbs are hung up in the canopy, wedged wherever nature chose to push them. He points up to one. “Itʼll be years before it comes down, if you ever get it down,” he suggests. “All through the bush itʼs like that,” he says. And as we step over fences and across fields, he shows where trees have crashed into fences, tearing them down. Not good news for a farmer with cattle in pasture. “See, this is what Iʼm dealing with,” he says, bemoaning the steady tangle of trees and wire along the fence line. Poplar, spruce, maple, elm and more, itʼs all ravaged. “Thereʼs no tougher tree than an elm,” he observes. “It (the storm) took rows and rows of lumber off.” Weeks later, on a bright, clear Friday morning in Admaston-Bromley Township, the picture is clear. Tree after tree after tree is damaged. But itʼs often the rural way to just move on, to start over. Patience and perseverance are the way of the pioneer; the way of this rugged land. If there is any bright side to the storm, Hass says itʼs that the area struck was not highly populated. “If this hadʼve gone through the farming community of Admaston, it would have taken houses,” Hass says. “Itʼs unbelievable, the power,” he said of the fierce wind that punished the area that day. “Seeing is believing.”

Jim Hass stands where one of trees on his property has been torn out of the earth and driven into the ground. “Look at the amount of earth ... they’re just hammered practically into the ground. It didn’t just fall,” says Hass. “The spruce, balsam and pine, it (the storm) turned them out from the roots. The maple, he says, A news release issued Tuesday morning “gave it a pretty good batby the Insurance Bureau of Canada said the tle but lost.” storms July 23 and 24 spawned fierce winds, heavy rains, flash flooding, up to golf ballsized hail and a couple unconfirmed reports of tornadoes. Insurance damages incurred from the path of the storm are estimated at $80 million.

A barn is pushed about one foot off kilter. Fixing it will be a “huge job,” says Hass.

STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND

Admaston-Bromley Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe introduces Jeff Muzzi, the county’s forest services manager. caused July 23. He referred to most of the “blowdown” damage as broken trees or trees pushed over with the roots remaining in the ground. “This time of the year, with the roots in the ground, those trees will kind of keep, so thereʼs not a huge screaming rush to move then. Itʼs a little different if they blow down in April and the sun bakes them in the summer. This time of the year, itʼs not that critical to cut them tomorrow because theyʼll keep. Stuff thatʼs broken, (thatʼs a) different story,” he adds. “You can have a beautiful pine that breaks 12 or 14 feet up, the timberʼs probably shattered about four feet in both directions. Youʼve lost all of that. The top, without nutrient, is going to start getting staining right away. So youʼll probably have to top them bigger, if you can rid of them at all.” As for a time frame, itʼs best to cut the stormdamaged wood before the snow flies or before it gets hot next year. “I think the (best) window youʼre looking at is from now to January to clean the stuff up,” said Muzzi. If not fully equipped to harvest oneʼs own storm damage, Muzzi said there are “an awful lot of good wood contractors in Renfrew County.” At the same time, contracting out the work means the woodlot owner will take a “pretty big hit” on the value of that wood. “I wanted to save my wood because I have two kids to put through university. I wanted to save until the markets were the best, but that just isnʼt an option anymore.” As for fire hazards, Muzzi said heʼs not concerned, especially regarding heavy hardwood. “Itʼs hard to get it to burn at the best of times,” said Muzzi. Those seeking seedlings, to rebuild their woodlots, were told they can book orders through Steve DʼEon of the volunteer-based Forest Stewardship Committee of Renfrew County. The cost should be under 25 cents, maybe under 20 cents, per seedling, said DʼEon. Call him at 613-639-1037. Orders would best be made by mid-September.

Renfrew County woodlot conference set for Sept. 22 Woodlot owners, who attended the information session Aug. 22, received a summary sheet of sawmills and forestry contractors, as well as a handout about this yearʼs free Renfrew County Outdoor Woodlot Conference. The Sept. 22 conference, at 558 Ferguslea Road, just outside Renfrew, will include presentations about wood certification, first thinning, log scaling, lumber grading and mill operations. There may also be a speaker about the impact of the summer drought and what woodlot owners can expect when selling their wood.

0830.R0011566989

Drought has ravaged property owners, especially farmers, during the summer of 2012, but life got worse when a July 23 storm cut a swath of damage across Renfrew County. With no insurance supplied for that type of damage, many property owners have been left wondering what they should do. To provide some clarity for woodlot owners, and describe some of the damage in the worsthit parts of the county, Admaston-Bromley Township hosted a free information session Wednesday, Aug. 22. Nearly 60 people packed the municipal office on Stone Road to hear what Renfrew County forestry services manager Jeff Muzzi and Ministry of Natural Resources district manager Rick Watchorn had to say. Muzzi, who owns his own 125-acre woodlot, said he has tried to remove as much fallen wood as possible and find markets for it as soon as possible. As Admaston-Bromley councillor and local farmer Michael Donohue said, “The early bird may very well get the worm,” before prices tumble as an increasing number of woodlot owners try to sell their wood. Local markets are varied, but Muzzi said the better prices are for red pine, “the one product that has had staying power the last few years,” and cedar, which he called “basically recession-proof.” Salvaging the wood sooner rather than later is also important, since the longer the wood stays on the ground, the higher the potential that the wood becomes stained and receives a lower purchase price. Muzzi spoke for about 15 minutes. Watchorn spoke longer while showing aerial views of the damage caused July 23 stressing the huge need for safety when cleaning up roots and broken or partly-toppled trees, both large and small. Watchorn, who has worked in most Canadian provinces as a forester, said the storm packed a punch. “It hit, and it was gone,” said Watchorn of the storm, which has been referred to as a microburst with high wind speeds on private and Crown land. “Thereʼs still talk of macroburst, tornadoes and whatever, but in the end it was a heck of windstorm, and it did a lot of damage.” MNR has since seen various types of damage, including swaths and heavier damage in open areas that included buildings and trees. “What we ended up seeing was a storm that carried on down from Barryʼs Bay to here (Renfrew) and to Calabogie, seemed to skip and jump as it was coming across, and as it landed at this end of the county it tended to do more damage,” said Watchorn. In some areas, the wind was so strong there were concentrated groups of trees that looked like theyʼd been felled and readied for skidding. “You couldnʼt have lined them up any better, as a logger, to come to the road,” said Watchorn of these sections. In starting his presentation, Muzzi said wood prices certainly arenʼt what they were when a 1983 storm blasted Algonquin Park when about “20 million (board) feet” of wood was salvaged. “Markets were a lot better then than they are now. I donʼt have to tell you folks that. Right now the timber markets are not good, particularly for white pine. I donʼt know of a mill that will even take it, but most of the other products are saleable right now, (although) prices are lower than Iʼd like to see.” On his own woodlot, he has also cut and hauled one load of spruce and balsam. “I didnʼt even ask what theyʼre paying. But I might as well get a few bucks, as leave it for the salamanders,” he said. “It is moving, though. You can move products.” Heʼs also getting a decent price for poplar, although he wondered how long that will last. Muzzi also spoke about the type of damage

On Nov, 11, 2011 the rate was increased to 7.1 and 8.3 cents per kwh. “This rate will be reviewed by the Ontario Energy Board every six months and adjusted to cover the cost of the regulated Price Plan which includes costs for the market cost of power (average 3.2 cents per kwh), fixed price contracts to Ontario Power generation, contracts for new wind, solar, biomass, methane generation and the introduction of conservation and green energy programs,” Freemark reported.

CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

Saturday, September 8, 2012

Renfrew Hydro Inc. chairman Barry Holt also shared his year-end report at the annual meeting. “This year was really the turning point for Renfrew Hydro,” Holt explained. “After several years of tough margins, the new rates were approved. This quickly put the business back where it needs to be and should remain for the next couple of years. “The result will be a much better return on investment for the Town of Renfrew,” he added. Holt said 2011 was also a year of planning for the future. “Within the next four years, almost all of the current management team will be retired,” he sid. “This is going to create some major challenges for the company. We are working to find and get the right people in place to make this transition as easy as possible. We are confident and ready for this challenge.” Holt also thanked the shareholder (the citizens of Renfrew), who are represented by town council, for its continued support and also congratulated the management team for another great year of hard work. “Thanks for the time, effort and consideration in all that you do,” he said on behalf of hydroʼs board of directors.

The year-end report for Renfrew Hydro Inc. was presented in June, noting maintenance, upgrades and improvements during the 2011 calendar year. The document was president Tom Freemarkʼs 11th annual report since the new company began operations in November 2000. Freemark reported that Renfrew Hydro Inc. purchased 94,333,901 kwh in 2011 for distribution to its customers. It was a drop of 5,842,974 kwh from the previous year. Residential load dropped one percent, general service less than 50 kw load dropped 3.7 per cent, and large users over 50-kw demand dropped by 10 per cent. “A major portion of this loss was due to the closure of the Estate Hardwood Flooring plant,” Freemark explained. He noted that large users consume 52 per cent of the total energy used in Renfrew, and the maximum peak of 18,822 kw occurred in January 2011. “The delivery of this energy translated into a distribution revenue of $1,818,770 in 2011. This is an increase of $266,547 over 2010 figures,” his report said. Other income was $134,609, an increase of $8,337 over 2010. The net income after provision for payment in lieu of income taxes of $32,633 was $179,369. In 2011, a dividend of $9,594 was paid to the shareholder. In April 2011 Renfrew was hit by a major wind storm, blowing down trees and breaking numerous poles. Poles were damaged on Plaunt, Raglan North, Moore, Argyle, McLean, Mary and Farewell streets. “The line crew managed to prioritize calls and all power was restored by the end of the day,” Freemark reported. There was major reconstruction in 2011 on a section of the Plaunt Street overhead distribution feeder between Hall and Railway, as the pole line was built to current standards and transformers were upgraded. Extensive testing was done of the smart meters. “Very complex test scripts were performed and Renfrewʼs system passed not once, but twice, when the process was changed to meet Measurement Canadaʼs demand to register

Farmers still have disaster relief questions

Area farmers discuss the Level 2 Drought and other concerns at Monday’s meeting. high food costs or the animal livestock are repurchased, those expenses will help to offset the additional taxes that are due in the following year. “The audience provided relevant questions,” the MP added. “We had a very generous audience in terms of providing input. A number of people provided me with written lists of commendations they had prepared ahead of time, with respect to recommendations on growing forward 2, the risk management group of programs that Mr. Fiarchuk was speaking about. That will come into effect as growing forward 1 expires in March.” A farmer in the crowd noted that the forms to fill out for these programs have been hard to obtain, particularly if you donʼt have a computer. They are available by calling Gallantʼs office at 613732-3221. Farmers can also call Agricorp at 1-866-327-

3678 for forms or to have any of their questions answered. Dave Mackay, president of the Renfrew County National Farmers Union, summed the night up for a few people. “Itʼs informative, but we really didnʼt get any answers, did we?” he said of any pending funds. “We want the answers now. My problem is the timing. We still donʼt know if weʼll get any money or not. I donʼt know whatʼs the hold-up. If there is no money, let us know, and weʼll deal with it.”

and is available for the cattle, grains and oilseeds, hog, sheep and veal sectors. “AgriRecovery is not about income replacement,” Fiarchuk stressed. He said it is about bringing hay, etc. in from elsewhere, “what the producers in that area need; what level of drought is it; how crops are; work with the province to see what the needs are.” “With some exceptions, AgriRecovery is doing very well in Canada. It is also seen as necessary, particularly in disaster conditions,” Fox said. Gallant was pleased with the feedback. “They were in particular, pleased about the tax deferral announcement,” said Gallant. “What that means, for example, is that livestock producers who sell off 15 per cent or more of their herds will have a year before the taxes on the sales of those animals are due, so in the following year, when

There have been a number of disasters in the country, both weather-and-disease related, Fiarchuk said. “There are programs out there available to get funds early if you need it.” Production Insurance kicks in when a field crop falls short because of extreme weather, pests or other factors. AgriStability is a type of income insurance, where the trigger is a decline in income or an increase in costs. Producers who are experiencing financial distress and are in need of immediate help can apply for an interim AgriStability payment. It works on an Olympic margin system, Fiarchuk said. It works on the previous five years. A farmerʼs highest and lowest income are defined and dropped to create a reference margin. Should your production margin fall below 85 per cent of your reference margin in a given year, you will receive a program payment, AgriInvest works much like a savings account that farmers can use to either cover small income declines or support other investments. Each year, farmers can deposit a small amount (1.5 per cent) of their net sales into a bank account and receive a matching government contribution. Funds can be withdrawn at any time. AgriRecovery is not as program, but a disaster relief framework that provides a rapid response for producers affected by events such as droughts, flooding, hailstorms, ice storms, or wildfires, Fiarchuk said. The province may request an AgriRecovery assessment, which is done together with the federal government. Also, Ontarioʼs Risk Management Program insures farmers against losses in income,

Major cleanup A major cleanup is underway along the Hass Road in Admaston-Bromley Township.

Admaston-Bromley zoning needs changing, says mayor Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Thereʼs an increasing interest to build new homes in Admaston-Bromley, but not nearly enough residential land to choose from. Thatʼs according to Admaston-Bromley Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe, who says a few areas of the township are zoned agricultural when they really should be zoned rural to accurately reflect the lay of the land. “We have no development fees and weʼre equally as attractive to live in as Horton is, with two elementary schools and a high school,” said Briscoe. “We have all the amenities and weʼre close to town,” added the mayor, who mentioned the municipalityʼs “superb” road system and strong recreational programs. But whatʼs missing is sufficient choices for families that are looking to build a home, she said during the Aug. 16 meeting of AdmastonBromley council. “There are sections classified as agricultural that shouldnʼt be agricultural,” said the mayor. With the County of Renfrewʼs official plan under review for the next year or so, she says this is the best time to facilitate some of those

zoning changes. An example of land that needs to be rezoned, said Briscoe, is the land bordering the right side of Highway 132 while leaving Renfrew and heading toward Stone Road. Another example would be along Stone Road on the right hand side while driving toward Douglas. A much tighter assessment of land use in Admaston-Bromley is required, so “this is our chance to lobby and put forward the evidence” for these zoning changes to Renfrew County chief planner Charles Cheesman. “He will help us put the case together,” said Briscoe. “It wouldnʼt surprise me if we have to spend some money to do a study to submit because heʼll have to refer to (the department of) agriculture and food for approval.”

the new St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School in Petawawa. “The renovation projects support that part of ʻOur Visionʼ that speaks to safe school environments characterized by warmth, hospitality, good humour and joy,” reported director of education Michele Arbour. “We welcome our students to learning environments that have been improved and refreshed. Itʼs a very positive way to begin the 2012-2013 school year.” Improvements were also completed at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School in Pembroke to accommodate its new full-day, every-day Early Learning Kindergarten program. The Renfrew County public

board has added full day Kindergarten at six more schools this year, including at Central and Queen Elizabeth schools in Renfrew. The board now receives the extra Ministry of Education funding for a dozen full day Kindergarten programs. There are already existing programs at Admaston, Beachburg, Cobden, McNab, Highview, Palmer Rapids. The Board also continues to sponsor full day programs at Westmeath, Pinecrest, Whitney, Madawaska and has added General Lake, bringing the Board to 74 per cent of schools providing all-day Kindergarten. Director of Education Roger Clarke welcomed the new

early childhood educators as they form teams with teachers. The teams and their school administrators attended training sessions in late June and have been preparing diligently for the boardʼs youngest students, he noted. Over the summer, the boardʼs plant department has been working on capital improvements at Central and QE, among others “to facilitate these new and exciting learning environments,” Clarke added. Clarke also confirmed that there is wifi coverage in all the boardʼs schools, allowing them to take advantage of mobile technology such as laptops, netbooks and iPads as well making it possible for

staff and students to bring in and use personal wireless devices. Final testing to measure the exact signal strength in each corner of every classroom is underway. Thousands of teachers, including several from Renfrew County, rallied at Queenʼs Park Tuesday “to defend the education system and stand up for school board support workers.” The rally was called by the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario (ETFO) with CUPE Ontario and the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation (OSSTF) taking part in the event to express their “dismay” in proposed legislation they say will strip school board workers of their

basic rights to bargain collectively with their employers. “Ontario was a leader in education, but that is no longer the case when the democratic rights of educators who make the system work are sacrificed for political gain of a Liberal party seeking a majority,” said ETFO President Sam Hammond. “Collective bargaining is a problem-solving process,” said CTF President Paul Taillefer. “Contracts by government decree have no place in a democratic society. A legislated settlement, such as the one proposed by the McGuinty government, is an abuse of the provinceʼs legislative authority.,” he said

R0011582926/0830

Renfrew County students should expect a relatively normal return to school Tuesday, despite unrest among teachers upset over what they claim is the province “bullying” them with legislation to be passed this week. The major changes locally will be the implementation of two new full day Kindergarten programs in Renfrew, at Central and Queen Elizabeth schools. In a news release after its meeting Monday, the Renfrew County District School Board said it expects “business as usual” when classes start Sept. 4. Despite ongoing labour negotiations between the Ontario government and the provinceʼs teachers, school board officials are planning for the start of classes at all 31 public school boards as scheduled. “From our perspective, we expect school will start on Sept. 4 as usual,” board chairman Dave Shields said Monday. Despite the legislation introduced at Queenʼs Park Monday, the Renfrew County school board continues to negotiate with its teachers. “We have started negotiations and we have more sessions booked for September and October with our local employee groups,” Shields said. “We only have the resources the government has made available and we have to work with the funding that has been provided.” School board officials are also monitoring the legislation, which is expected to be passed by weekʼs end, as the Conservatives have indicated they would support the minority Liberal government in voting for the Putting Students First Act that bans teacher strikes for two years. The NDP is opposing the legislation. Passing the act, which places a two-year pay freeze on teachers and ends sick time payouts on retirement, will prevent the automatic rollover of teacher contracts set to expire on Aug. 31. The new agreement would lead to salary increases of 5.5 per cent for many teachers, which is unacceptable considering the deficit problem the province is mired in, says the government. “We are following closely the developments at Queenʼs Park,” said Shields. The Renfrew County Catholic School Board is also optimistic its schools will return to normal operation and it will be successful in negotiating a local contract with its teachers. Unlike public board teachers in the province, the Catholic teachers have agreed in principle to a deal with the government. At its meeting Monday, the Catholic Board concentrated on highlighting major improvements to its schools over the summer. Included were St. Josephʼs Catholic School in Calabogie, which had two sections of its roof repaired as well as some exterior paint work; elevator refurbishment at St. James Catholic School in Eganville; and final preparations for the opening of

A tip of the hat to the Renfrew Rotary Club for all it does In a recent edition of our sister newspaper, The Perth Courier, we noted a story about a grassroots movement in that town to bring a splash pad to Perth. “Smiths Falls installed one this year and they are common in cities like Ottawa and Kingston,” the strory said. Thanks to the Renfrew Rotary Club, this community has enjoyed a splash pad at MaTe-Way Park for a few years now.

But families with young children are not the only residents to reap the benefits of work done by local Rotarians. Thanks to the local Rotary Club, low-income residents can find a place to call home through the Rotary housing on Francis Street, and seniors at the Bonnechere Manor have a community hall they can use for a broad range of celebrations and programs. Time and time again this organization has

proven its keen sense of selfless service and the importance of community, in the truest sense of the word. The club also understands how studying abroad can broaden oneʼs horizon and make the world a better place for all. Applications are now open for its Global Grant Scholarship for the academic year 201314. People can learn more about the scholarship program at www.rotary.org and apply at

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Picking potato bugs a daily chore To the editor: Mary Cookʼs account of ʻpotato bug dayʼ in her recent column is obviously a piece of fiction. Anyone who grows potatoes knows that you donʼt just pick bugs off the potato plants one day of the summer. Itʼs a daily job that starts as soon as the plants appear above ground and lasts for at least eight weeks. I do it twice daily. Maryʼs entire family picked bugs – five children and Mother and Father – and if they worked quickly they could finish the whole potato patch in the ʻbetter part of a dayʼ. Thatʼs a whopper if you ask me. If they were lucky, the potato bugs were finished for the year. Their potato patch was about twice the size of their garden. What, an acre maybe? How could it take seven people the better part of a day to pick bugs? Thatʼs a fib! With so many hands they could do 25 acres in a day. When and how they picked potato bugs is also laughable. They picked the bugs when the plants were high, filled with blossoms and in a few weeks they would be ready to be dug up. Thatʼs too late! What, did the bugs only show

up after blossom? In Maryʼs family drive shed were seven little tin cans lined up on a plank like soldiers. Picking bugs by hand all day and sticking them in a ʻlittle tin canʼ is unbelievable. A much better and easier method is to have a wide mouth small pail the width of a potato plant. With one hand you hold the pail beside the plant and with the other hand you hit the plant and bugs and larvae all go flying into the pail. Had Mary and her siblings done it that way they could have finished their potato patch in 15 minutes at most and they wouldnʼt have had to strip down to their underwear in the summer kitchen afterwards. And Mother wouldnʼt have had to line up seven wash basins for washing off potato bug dirt. What a tale! Contrary to what Mary writes, potato bugs donʼt eat the leaves. They lay eggs underneath the leaves of the plant. The secret is getting the bugs off before they lay the eggs and tear off the leaf that has the small yellow patch of eggs. Donʼt let those eggs hatch! Sincerely, Maynard van der Galien Renfrew

Barking dogs a problem in town To the editor: It really amazes me that so many dog owners have absolutely no consideration for the people that live around them. These people put their dogs out in the early morning and these dogs bark off and on all day long and well into the late evening. It is very evident that the owners have not spent any time training these dogs not to bark. And it is also evident that they are too lazy to get off their butts to go out and stop the barking or bring the dog in so it will stop annoying other people. There are a lot of elderly or sick people around town that need to get as much rest as

possible for health reasons. This means sleeping in and having a nap or two during the day. But they cannot do this because of these barking dogs. I think that Animal Control should be driving around town and if they come across one of these barking dogs they should give the owner a warning and tell them that the next time the dog is put out it has to have a bark collar or a muzzle on. If they donʼt do this they should be given a huge fine of about $200 every time the dogs are out without one of them. Donald Dean Renfrew

Post-festival greetings from county Muslims To the editor: As a member of the Muslim community in Renfrew County, who also works in Renfrew, I would like to share my experiences from the recent celebration of Eid ul-Fitr. It is often referred to as the Festival of the Breaking of the Fast. This marks the end of the month of Ramadan, during which time Muslims around the world observe a dawn-to-dusk fast from food and drink. The Hasanville community celebrated Eid ul-Fitr on Monday, Aug. 20. The community exchanged gifts, distributed

sweets, feasted and visited fellow Muslims. Prayers were held to start the day-long festivities that included a community dinner, pony rides and a bouncing castle for the communityʼs children. The Hasanville community prays for the continued success of the county, its leaders and residents, and for the continued spirit of cooperation and peace between communities in the province and our country.

POLL RESULTS

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION

The provincial legislature is being reconvened Aug. 27 to pass the Putting Students First Act. Is the government putting students first with in its dealings with teachers?

School’s back Tuesday and with student enrolment continuing to drop and more teachers laid off, school boards face tough decisions. What should they do?

A) Yes. Teachers have had it good since the McGuinty Liberals were elected. Itʼs time their taxpayer-paid salaries and benefits return to a more realistic level.

17%

B) No. Teachers have one of the most important jobs in society and they should be compensated better to reflect that.

33%

A) Cut out the frills. Stick to the 3Rs and let parents and volunteers provide for such things as sports, music and art.

B) The days of the 3Rs have long passed. Cut in a balanced way to maintain courses in physical education, the arts and computers in conjunction with the basics.

C)

Yes. The government should ban teacher strikes and impose settlements. Don’t rob students of an essential service.

D) No. Let collective bargaining work. Don’t impose contracts from above. If teachers aren’t happy, their students aren’t likely to be happy either.

17%

C)

Create speciality schools, and give parents the option of moving their students to the facility that best suits their educational goals.

33%

D) Give society and local businesses more responsibility for education by increasing the emphasis on apprenticeships and co-op placements.

Plenty of show, and shine, at Denbigh-Griffith Lions event Lucy Hass lucy.hass@metroland.com

Car owners, spectators and sponsors joined forces to create the most successful DenbighGriffith Lions Club Show and Shine yet. A total of 134 vehicles were registered for the fifth annual event that featured spectator admission and vehicle registration by donation.

Sponsors are important to the eventʼs success, and the organizers appreciate the support of businesses within The Renfrew Mercury’s broad readership area. “We feel fortunate when they choose to donate to us, as we know that there are many others thumping on their doors,” said Lions Club member Janice Powell.

“I know the saying that it takes a village to raise a child. It takes a community to pull off a successful event such as this,” she said. The money raised by the club supports a range of causes. “We are a small club of 33 and have not only donated $25,000 to Renfrew Victoria Hospital, $25,000 to Renfrew Hospice and $5,000 to the CAT scan at Renfrew Victoria Hospital, but have also donated to many other worthwhile organizations,” Powell added. The Peopleʼs Choice award winners were: 1. Josh Gauthier, Renfrew – 1973 Dodge Charger SE; 2. Dan Smith, Grimsby – 2007 Ford Mustang GT; and 3. Tim Ashick, Pembroke – 1950 Dodge 1/2

ton truck. The summer celebration, based at the Lions Hall in Griffith, also included the Lions Market that featured crafts, preserves, home baking, syrup, a book sale, a new-to-you sale and a barbecue. While the show didnʼt start until 10 a.m., cars starting rolling in at 9 a.m. A popular attractions is that every driver has the chance to win one of many prizes drawn throughout the day. The sooner oneʼs vehicle is drawn, the earlier the driver gets to choose from a very generous prize table. “The people from Renfrew have been really fantastic,” she said of prize sponsorship. The Renfrew OPP and local fire department also set up displays and events for children. Musician Al Kitching performed music throughout the day. A variety of vendors also set up, for free, on the grounds.

There’s even a small juke box in the back. Summer car shows are a great way to meet people and renew old acquaintances, said Murack, who has attended other shows this summer as well. “I met people in Golden Lake and Deacon that I haven’t seen since I worked up there. We separated and now we’re both into car shows and they’ve got old vehicles, too,” he said.

Connie Smith

Tara Oram and the Prescott/Brown Family

Connie Smith is considered by many to be one of the American country music scene’s finest female vocalists. Over the course of her music career Smith has won 11 Grammy award nominations and 20 Top-10 Billboard singles. She has also released 31 charting albums, and three of them have hit number one. In 2012 Smith became the 12thsolo female artist and 19th woman elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame. Born in Elkhart, Indiana, Smith’s music career began in 1963. Her debut single, Once a Day, was the first debut single by a female country artist to reach number one. That song holds the record for the most weeks spent at number one on the Billboard country chart by a female artist.

Newfoundland natived Tara Ora was a top-six finalist on the fifth season of Canadian Idol in 2007. In March 2009, Oram received an East Coast Music Award for country recording of the year. She was also nominated for female solo recording of the year and video of the year. In 2009 Oram was nominated for a Juno award for country recording of the year. She won the 2009 CCMA Rising Star award. Also performing on the Renfrew Fair grandstand Saturday night is Prescott-Brown – a trio comprised of Tracey Brown, her brother Barry Brown and her husband Randall Prescott. The popular group came together in 1991 as Tracey Prescott and Lonesome Daddy and in 1993 they won a Juno award for best country group or duo.

Few road, marine and trail fatalities are accidents is no longer commonly used among OPP members when referring to collisions because it implies that no one is at fault when someone dies or is seriously injured. According to Lewis, there is almost always someone at fault and quite often it is not the person who is injured or killed. “If someone else dies in a collision because you were speeding or texting while driving, or because you decided to drive after having consumed alcohol, this is not an accident – this is a preventable incident that was caused because you were careless and chose to break the law and in the process, an innocent life was taken. Tragically, the person or persons who died had no hand in the costly decision that you made and this is what makes it extremely difficult for the families of the victims to deal with,” added Lewis. “Our statistics show that in most of the road, marine and trail incidents we investigate, the causal factor is attributable to human error and/or bad judgement and could have been prevented if everyone simply obeyed our laws because they do save lives,” said OPP Deputy Commissioner Larry Beechey, Provincial Commander of Traffic Safety.

“We would prefer to not have to lay any charges at all this weekend and would rather see people be fully compliant with our laws,” said Chief Superintendent Don Bell, Commander of the OPP Highway Safety Division. “Because of the increased number of motorists, boaters and trail users out on long weekends, we know that there will be more careless, inattentive people to deal with and we fully expect to lay numerous charges in our ongoing efforts to save lives and make our roads, waterways and trails safer,” added Bell.

Celebrate ~ Remember ~ Honour

With the final summer long weekend just ahead, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is poised to step up enforcement on roads, waterways and trails and is reminding Ontarians to respect the rights of every human being to be safe over the weekend. OPP officers will be taking tough measures this weekend against those who place others at risk on roads, waterways and trails as part of their ongoing efforts to decrease fatalities and injuries caused by aggressive driving, distracted driving, seat belt non-compliance, impaired driving and failing to obey Move Over laws. Sadly, heading into the last summer long weekend of the year, it is shaping up to be a bad year for road fatalities with 232 people having died on roads and highways (within OPP jurisdiction as of August 27, 2012), compared to 195 during the same time period last year. According to OPP Commissioner Chris Lewis, the solution to eliminating collisions and the senseless loss of life is as simple as making a firm commitment to good driving behaviour and obeying all of the laws in place to keep everyone safe. Lewis noted that the term “accident”

The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police is investigating a fraud where a male posed as a bank manager and tricked a victim into turning over more than $4,000. The victim received a call from the fraudster and withdrew funds from their bank account. The victim then met the suspect in a parking lot in Renfrew and turned over the money. The victim was told to wait for a follow-up call from the suspect. When the phone call never came, the victim became suspicious and called the OPP. This suspect has phoned other individuals in the area and the OPP would like to talk to anyone who may have received one of these calls. Const. Adam Nitschmann can be reached at 613-4323211.

Regardless of where your daily commute takes you, under Ontario law motorists travelling in both directions must come to a complete stop when approaching a school bus that has its upper red lights flashing. Failure to stop for a school bus can be a costly decision. For a first offence, drivers face a fine of $400 to $2,000 and the loss of six demerit points from their licence. Each subsequent offence brings fines ranging from $1,000 to $4,000, as well as six demerit points and the possibility of serving up to six months in jail.

Denis Levasseur says Fridayʼs accident on Highway 17 was the strangest incident in his 45 years as a truck driver. Levasseur, who lives in the Montreal suburb of Rivieredes-Prairies, was pulling his truck and an attached second truck of household products that included shelves, beds and other furniture. Levasseur was carrying the loads for Kingʼs Transfer Van Lines from Montreal to Sudbury. Unknown to the truck driver, his load caught on fire Friday morning. But Const. John Leaver of the OPPʼs Highway Safety Division spotted the smoke near Calabogie Road and radioed ahead. The Renfrew OPP pulled the driver over just short of

Gillan Road, where Levasseur detached the backload and moved his truck 200 metres down the road. “When I first opened the door, the flames burst out,”” he said while touching his head and indicating he didnʼt have much hair to lose. Horton Fire Chief Randy Corbin says the 9-1-1 call came through just after 11 a.m. The walls and contents of the truck were completely destroyed by fire. Firefighters used foam fire suppressant to subdue the flames in the truck, and in the adjoining field. The cause of the fire is not known at this time. There was one pumper, one tanker and one forestry truck on the scene. The Renfrew OPP redirected traffic via Lochwinnoch and Goshen roads.

Andrew Laird, above, took about six hours to set up his train system at the 153rd Cobden Fair on the weekend. But it was well worth it, he said, to see the looks on children’s faces. He made it so the Kingston and Pembroke (K&P) train ran in the opposite direction of the CP freight train.

Judge Bernard Leahy examines Kyle Dufault’s red Simmental heifer calf, saying the purebred is fluid in the joints but had more weight than needed. It was enough to let Dufault squeak by his sister, Kalie Dufault, to take first place in the competition.

mainstay. But about ďŹ ve years ago they went to a different format. Kevin Dodds has been a long-time participant and when they decided to have it again, they contacted him. They also requested that artists from this area take part. Canadians make up a large portion of WPBSĘźs audience. Kevin came to RAG and asked if any of us would like to take part and a number agreed. Those who are taking part donated a painting or two and these will be auctioned off in November. In the meantime, some of the artists were taped for promo videos to advertise the upcoming auction. As I say we all have been busy. Certainly makes for another summer memory. Renfrew Art Guild meets the ďŹ rst Tuesday of the month at Trinity St. AndrewĘźs United Church, 291 Plaunt St. in Renfrew at 7 p.m. Please use the Quarry Street entrance). Everyone is welcome. If you are new to the area, or new to painting our members are willing to share their expertise. Come and join us, for more information call Diana 613-433-3635.

OIL STRUCK AT PERTH: The ďŹ rst well east of the Laurentian formation in the township of Perth has been brought in by the private enterprise of Mr. R. Jamieson, Division Court Clerk. The well has 1,206 feet of oil in the casing. The rock for 1206 is sandstone and conglomerates, the lime, known in geology as the “platform of deathâ€? is reached at that depth and from this lime ows the oil. Six years ago, after careful examination and study of rock formation to the east and south of Perth, he announced he had discovered a new oil ďŹ eld. His announcement was scouted by both oil men and geologists. His well has a history of difďŹ culties known only to himself. In the face of ridicule and the sneers of ignorant skeptics he quietly persevered in his work, and now he has his reward and the satisfaction of getting his predictions veriďŹ ed. REAL ESTATE: Mr. J. George this week sold back to Mr. G.A. Ellis the business block recently purchased from him by the Renfrew Produce Co..

Well, here we go, another summer gone and life gets back to normal, whatever that is. Children are going back to school, older ones are off to university or college, registrations for hockey, etc., are imminent. Summer conjures up wonderful memories. We all hope that everything, be it a barbecue or vacation, will be perfect. But, usually that doesnĘźt always happen and things get in the way. That is when memories are solidiďŹ ed. Your conversation starts with, ĘťRemember when Ęťsuch and suchĘź happened?Ęź RAG members and friends had a wonderful Art in the Park and our memory, other than the success, is “can you believe how hot it was?Ęź We will not be deterred; we are planning Art in the Park 2013. Guild members are spreading their wings and are embarking on other projects. The Arnprior and Beyond Arts Discovery Tour will be held Sept. 29 and 30 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Artists from Renfrew and Arnprior will be in homes and studios for you to check out their talent. This is a new venture for the artists of Arnprior and they have included members of the Renfrew Art Guild. Watch out for the brochures so you can plan your weekend to visit all the locations.

COMMUNITY

Your Community Newspaper

Renfrew needs more user-friendly access for the disabled, says resident Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

In late July, a Renfrew Mercury article written by the Renfrew detachment of the OPP stressed the need for users of wheelchairs and other personal mobility devices to follow the rules of the road. The article said that they should travel, in the absence of sidewalks, against oncoming traffic and consider using a safety flag or reflective tape to make themselves more visible to motorists. The article concluded, “Your safety may depend on your choice of where and when you travel.” Easier said than done, says Tom Sidney, whose mother Susan suffered a stroke about six years ago and now travels about the community most of the time in a motorized wheelchair. Her trips are as far as the laboratory near the hospital, which is more than four kilometres away. Susan says she is regularly frustrated by the poor accessibility for wheelchair users in the community, both downtown at businesses and closer to home, on Gillan Avenue. She relies on friends and family to get her to some appointments, but she attempts to be as independent as possible. Therefore, she frequently travels about two kilometres by wheelchair to downtown, despite having no sidewalks to follow along OʼBrien Road, for the one-kilometre stretch between Gillan Avenue and Veteransʼ Memorial Boulevard. Itʼs nice to talk about the importance of following the rules of the road, but thatʼs easier said than done, says Tom. Because of her stroke, Susan, now in her mid-50s, finds it difficult to piece sentences together. But she nodded her head or added small points of clarification when her son spoke to The Mercury about their accessibility-related concerns.

If his mom does follow the rules of the road, as advised by the OPP, she must navigate a soft tilted shoulder along Gillan Road for 300 metres. Then, when Susan reaches Gillan and OʼBrien, she must enter the paved intersection,

80 to 60 kph. Closer to OʼBrien Road the speed limit remains 50 kph. He also stressed that the OPP is doing ongoing surveillance in the area. “I have had concerns expressed about speed on that road, from the police services board and directly from members of the public,” said Slight. Tomʼs concerns arenʼt limited to areas around his momʼs place, though. He says there are several examples of poor wheelchair accessibility. Two examples are the lips that are too high on the slanted entrances to sidewalks

and the poor quality or lack of wheelchair accessibility to several businesses. He said this includes his momʼs dentist, whose ramp is far too steep for a wheelchair to navigate without assistance. Tom said that some businesses, such as Aikenheadʼs, Giant Tiger and The Bargain Shop, have very suitable wheelchair accessibility. Tom claims his concerns arenʼt meant to get people mad, but to “raise awareness and say something needs to change … because the town needs to be accessible for everyone.”

OPP’S RESPONSE

Colin Slight, the detachment commander for the Renfrew OPP, says the police can only do so much, since they have no control of the purse strings for local road work. “From our perspective, our tools are public awareness and enforcement,” said Staff-Sgt. Slight. He also acknowledges that drivers may still be adjusting to recent speed reductions along more easterly sections of Gillan Avenue, from

R0011554873

OBSTACLES ALONG GILLAN AVENUE

since there is no direct off-road route to the pedestrian crosswalkʼs push-button. At that point, her wheelchair risks being hit by unaware drivers making the turn, at the water tower, from OʼBrien to Gillan. Several times she has nearly been hit, says her son. “The traffic is getting busier because people are taking the shortcut to Highway 17,” says Tom. He knows itʼs also busier because local businesses are located on or near that thoroughfare, with the likes of Scapa North America, Ultimate Fitness and RONA. Gillan Road is a county road, namely County Road 6. But Renfrew County public works director Dave Darch says building sidewalks within the town limits is the municipalityʼs responsibility, as stated in the Ontario Municipal Act. Budgetary constraints mean no sidewalk is likely to be built along Gillan Road any time soon. So Tom says a solution may be to build a user-friendly walking and wheelchair route along Gillan (and in other parts of town) to improve accessibility for wheelchair users and others with disabilities. As Tom points out, Gillan Avenue is already used by increasing numbers of walkers, runners and bikers. The real point, says Tom, is that if ablebodied people are able to get around town by following the rules of the road, then disabled people should be able to do the same. Meanwhile, Tom says he continues to call for more police surveillance to reduce the increased frequency of speeding along Gillan Avenue, but he also acknowledges that userfriendly trails or sidewalks would be the real solution.

STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND

Susan Sidney uses this motorized wheelchair to get around town. But it’s still difficult to safely follow the rules of the road. An example is her difficulty to activate the pedestrian crosswalk at O’Brien Road and Gillan Avenue. To do so, she has to enter the intersection from the shoulder and risk being hit by traffic turning onto Gillan. Her regular companion, with or without the wheelchair, is Honey.

A backyard pond, a place to gather THE BIG BIRDS GATHER

We received a phone call from Barry Bridges and he was pleased to have a new species arrive at his farm. He was unsure of the name but a few minutes with a field guide solved the problem. The large size, bigger than a great blue heron, grey colour and large red forehead patch indicated sandhill cranes, the first he had seen on the farm. The three birds, two grey adults and a fawn coloured chick appeared unconcerned about other birds in the area. Before Barry saw the cranes he noticed rafters of wild turkeys, one of toms and another of hens and chicks. The birds too were unconcerned about others in the area. Canada geese could not be left out and there was a gaggle of them with the others. All were feeding in the grain stubble. We will be seeing many groups of our large birds as they join together to feed and prepare for the trip to their wintering grounds. There will be more to see than just the coloured leaves.

KIMBERLEY GUILMETTE

Two green heron chicks call for more food.

We spoke with Louise and Rocknie Gauvin this week about the crop of acorns on their oak trees and the answer was “not many”. A few years ago we received three bushels of acorns from the Gavins to feed to the deer and birds. It was a bumper crop that year and the birds and animals were not long cleaning them up. This year we have an excellent crop of acorns on one of our bur oak trees and very few on the others. We can always tell when the oak nuts are ready to be harvested; a flock of raucous jays arrive and until the acorns have been eaten or knocked to the ground the birds continue their noisy feast. Because of the drought finding food for many of our birds that depend on fruit, seeds and nuts will be difficult this year. We may have to start our feeder programs a bit early this fall.

BIRDS OF PREY ON THE MOVE

The same rising air currents that create thunderstorms also create thermals for migrating buteos, hawks, gulls and falcons. The buteos, gulls and hawks have wings that allow them to soar on the rising air; the falcons have narrow wings and must depend on more wing flapping to travel. The great soaring birds, rough-legged, red-tailed, broad-winged, red-shouldered hawks, turkey vultures, bald and golden eagles use the same strategy when migrating or searching for food. They find a column of rising air and soar with the circling air to great heights and then glide to the bottom of another column of rising air and soar with it. In the spring they use air that is moving in a northerly direction and in the fall air that is moving in a southerly direction. Using these tactics, the birds are able to travel great distances during migration using very little energy. On warm days when the air is rising you can follow the path of the birds as they travel on their journey. Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, RR 5, Renfrew, Ontario K7V 3Z8.

Thank you for the information and the pictures. It is rare to have a family of green herons nesting in a backyard pond. It is also rare to get such good pictures of them.

Kimberley Guilmette sent us the following email. We have had a pair of green heron nesting in a group of pines behind our home for the past five years or so, but this year we were lucky enough to have three babies emerge from this nest. The parents fed from our backyard pond, which at one point had 16 frogs in it, so I guess they thought it was a great place to raise their young. We now have two of the babies regularly visiting our pond. They spend many hours hunting feeder fish, frogs and minnows from the pond. It has been very entertaining watching them grow, and fish; we feel very fortunate to have witnessed this. The pond was a great saviour for many birds during the drought as well, it brought three baby flickers, and a mocking bird, as well as numerous robins and swallows to our backyard, a great source of entertainment. We hope they have a successful flight to the Carolinas; apparently that’s where they spend the winter, lucky birds. Kimberley Guilmette

Timberwolves open camp at Ma-Te-Way Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

PHOTOS BY LUCY HASS/METROLAND

Members of the Blue team celebrate the first goal of the night during a Renfrew Timberwolves’ training camp scrimmage at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre last Thursday night.

About 40 players attended early training camp sessions last week, with hopes of cracking the Renfrew Timberwolves 2012-13 lineup.

About 40 players were out for the opening night of the Renfrew Timberwolves training camp at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre Aug. 21. Among them were seven veterans, incluidng Renfrew minor hockey alumni Jesse Riopelle, Erik Mask, Kurtis Leclaire and Dylan Zavitske, the latter attained in a recent deal with Shawville. Also at camp were Luke Lapierre, Patrick Dick and Anthony Rea from last yearʼs club. Mask, Zavitske and Rea are defencemen. Coach and general manager Brent Sylvester is pleased with what he has seen in the first three days of camp. “Itʼs gone exceptionally well. They have given me all the effort I could ask,” he said. “They are forcing us into making some tough decisions (cuts), tougher than I thought it would be. That is why I still have 26 players in camp,” Sylvester added. That number should fluctuate as veterans return from higher levels. Sylvester expects two veterans back this week. “I also have more guys coming in,” he said. Also returning is goaltender Troy Gauthier, who was backup to the recently-traded Richard Barr last year. “Troy has been released by Pembroke (Lumber Kings) and will be back Thursday (tonight),” the coach added. The Wolves are on the ice at 7 p.m. Sylvester said a promising crop of rookies is competing for spots on the roster. “I told them, I am Brent

Sylvester, coach and general manager, and I play for keeps.” He said, they have to play that way, give everything, to start the year with the Wolves. Sylvesterʼs coaching staff consists of Lorenzo Comparelli, Jason Gould and goaltending coach Brent Gould. The Wolves have four pre-season games scheduled over the next 10 days. They host the Stittsville Royals on Thursday, Sept. 6 at 8 p.m., and then meet the Almonte Thunder Sunday, Sept. 9 at 7:30 p.m. at the MAC. Sunday night home games are 7:30 starts this season. Renfrew also has road games in Stittsville Sept. 4 and Almonte Sept. 8. The Wolves open the 201213 Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League regular season Friday, Sept. 14 at 8 p.m. The defending Valley Division champion Arnprior Packers supply the opposition. The Wolves will be looking to get the season off to a good start. Six of their first seven games are at home. The EOJHL will host its third annual Fall Showcase a month later than in the past two seasons, but fans wonʼt have to travel far to witness the action. The Arnprior Civic Centre is the site of this yearʼs event Oct. 12-14 when all MetroValley teams take on two opponents from the Rideau-St. Lawrence Conference, with results counting in the standings. The Wolves will meet the Alexandria Glens on the Friday at 9 p.m., and take on the Gananoque Islanders Sunday, Oct. 14 at 5:30 p.m. The Wolves will have their booth in the usual spot, selling tickets on a TV at next weekʼs Renfrew Fair.

Young area phenoms on the fast track The Labour Day Weekend will be one to remember for two young sports icons in their respective communities. In Eganville, Olympic 800-metre runner Melissa Bishop will be honoured with a parade Sunday afternoon. The parade gets underway at the Legion Field in Eganville at 1:30 p.m. and winds its way through the village to the community centre. An autograph signing follows. Bishop ran a sub-two minute race in 1:59.82 to earn Olympic status,

Terry Fox Run: a chance to really make a difference Steve Newman steve.newman@metroand.com

As the face of cancer research in Canada, Terry Fox continues to serve as a reminder that cancer can be beaten. Even though itʼs more than 30 years since the disease forced him to the sidelines during his Marathon of Hope attempt to run across Canada, his spirit carries on in others. Two ardent supporters of the Renfrew Terry Fox Run, which takes place Sunday, Sept. 16 at Renfrewʼs Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre, are sisters Tanya Campbell and Sheena Pilgrim. They have been the runʼs co-ordinators for several years, after their mother, Lois Leclaire, lost her battle with skin cancer in 2005. “I know we had conversations with her that she did want the run to continue,” says Campbell. “In 2004 I remember her having bandages on her arms and her hair was thinning, and she still wanted the run to continue (locally). Which is why Sheena and I still do it. “We do it in her memory, but also because we were involved with helping her (and Gladys Sidock) out before. Itʼs the cause we throw ourselves into every year.” The biggest local response was in 2010, for the 30th national celebration of the run. RECORD REVENUE IN 2010

STEVE NEWMAN

These Renfrew Terry Fox Run supporters invite you to participate on Sunday, Sept. 16. Jim Millar and Kim Ryan, seated, of Renfrew Sun Life Financial are joined by one of the Renfrew Terry Fox Run co-ordinators, Tanya Pilgrim, and her children, Sarah and Ryan.

Renfrewʼs Terry Fox Run started in 1982, meaning this September represents the 31st year locally. Participation dropped off in Renfrew last year, but the number of participants and revenue raised were still the second highest ever, with 200 people receiving pledges worth $28,311. The Renfrew run raised a record $32,549 in 2010 with a field of 225. “We have lots of repeat participants,” says Pilgrim. “And weʼd like to see them back, and more.” Local revenue raised never exceeded $8,000 in the 1980s and 1990s, but reached $11,867 in 1998 and has never been below $12,000 since then. The Renfrew run has raised $312,000 since 1982. What pleases the sibling-organizers is that 84 cents of every dollar raised for the Terry Fox Foundation goes for cancer research, says Campbell. Some of the most recent research includes findings in 2011 that a gene known as 14-3-3 plays a critical role in halting breast cancer initiation and progression. Researchers in 2011 also discovered that leukemia cells have unique energy requirements and that it is possible to selectively shut down this energy production by blocking protein synthesis in the mitochondria portions of muscle. Since the Terry Fox Runʼs beginning in 1981, more than $600 million has been raised to support the cause. “I think we say it every year, but cancer touches every one of us,” says Campbell. “Everyone in this community knows someone who has succumbed to cancer or who is fighting the

disease. Itʼs our opportunity as a community to make a difference.” LOCAL REGISTRATION Only a few teams have registered online so far, but teams can still register at www.terryfoxrun.org Teams or individuals can ask register at the registration desk between 11 a.m. and the noon start time Sept. 16. Pledge sheets are available at www.terryfoxrun.org or from Scottʼs Hardware, Aikenheadʼs Drug Store and local banks. Also, cancer survivors are encouraged to register online to receive a free Terryʼs Team Tshirt. These red shirts remind participants that the dollars raised are making a difference in the fight against cancer. Renfrew is among about 9,000 Terry Fox Runs each year. There is no entry fee and no minimum pledge required to participate. Supporters of this yearʼs local run include Jim Millar and Kim Ryan of Renfrew Sun Life Financial who are hosting the post-run barbecue. “Itʼs community involvement and we believe in the cause,” says Ryan. Ottawa Valley Physiotherapy will again lead the pre-run stretch session. The local company will also provide a donation based on the number of stretch participants. Other supporting businesses are TF Custom Signs, with promotional banner support, and The Ultimate Image, which is providing new route signs for the 5-km and 10-km courses. NEW SILENT AUCTION The Renfrew Terry Fox Run will also feature a new silent auction. This yearʼs official T-shirts show a silhouette of Terry Foxʼs face. The inside of that image is filled with many words that have described him, such as character, working spirit, persevere, community, courage, compassion, strength and sacrifice. The shirts, which are $17 for youth and adults, and $15 for children, are available from Renfrewʼs Valley Source for Sports on Raglan Street or at the Terry Fox Run Sept. 16.

Melissa Bishop at the 2012 Olympic trials in Calgary, where she clinched a berth in the London Olympics.

2012 Olympic middle-distance runner Melissa Bishop of Eganville will remain in the spotlight a little while longer. Sheʼs the focus of the parade being held this Sunday in her honour. The parade will end at the Eganville arena, where there will be speeches, presentations, autograph signings and a display of memorabilia from her Olympic experience.

Highlights from JCS Stables’ Rising Star Series No. 2 The JCS Stables Rising Star Series of three horse show clinics held its second event of the season Aug. 4. The Saturday proved to be a gorgeous day, with lots of sun, a lovely breeze and a huge crowd. Competitors, coaches and spectators gained knowledge through comments and evaluations from clinician Dennis Mahoney, who travelled from Deer Lake, Nfld. Many individuals are responsible for bringing these horse show clinics together but the participants are the most important. We also want to thank the generosity of our

sponsors and the numerous volunteers who help to provide for a safe, fun-filled and exciting day. All ribbons were provided by Omnisource Corporation of Burlington, Ont.

Coolican’s climb to raise awareness of global water crisis The Kilimanjaro Climb for Life scheduled for Oct. 12 to 26 challenges brave Canadians to scale AfricaĘźs renowned mountain, which towers 19,341 feet above sea level. Among those making the grueling hike is Renfrew native Joscelyn Coolican. She will be joining a team of Canadians scaling Mount Kilimanjaro. Coolican will celebrate her 40th birthday while scaling the highest peak in Africa. The hockey player, triathlete and mother of two hopes to set a positive example for her young children so that they grow up understanding the challenges that people around the globe face on a daily basis. “Not everyone is as fortunate as we are here in Canada to have access to clean, safe drinking water at the turn of a tap,â€? says Coolican. “As a mother of young children, it is heartbreaking to think of what families have to endure in order to get access to clean water. I want to instill within my kids a sense of responsibility and awareness.â€? With this climb, Coolican returns to her roots in international development, which she developed a passion for dur-

ing her university days. Since then, she has also gained insights into water issues here in Canada and abroad through her work with the federal government and community associations working toward the protection of lakes and rivers in Ottawa and the Valley. Coolican, who lives in Ottawa, is reaching out to her community for support in raising $10,000 towards WaterCanĘźs fundraising goals. Funds raised will help to support WaterCanĘźs work to provide communities in eastern Africa with access to clean drinking water, basic sanitation and hygiene education. With baby Polly on her back, and her husband, son and poodle at her side during training hikes, Coolican will be ready to conquer Kilimanjaro this fall, making it a birthday to remember and life lesson for her children. Coolican joins a team of 24 Canadians on this journey. They include newly named WaterCan ambassador and CTV eTalk host Ben Mulroney, who is the leader of the expedition. Says WaterCan Executive Director, George Yap, “This team – comprising industry leaders, TV personalities and adventurous concerned citizens – will serve as an inspiring example of CanadaĘźs glob-

al reputation as a dynamic and forward-thinking nation.� Through WaterCanʟs mobile fundraising initiative, people can text H20 to 45678 to make a one-time donation toward the campaign. Coolicanʟs personal fundraising page for WaterCanʟs Kilimanjaro Climb for Life campaign is http://give.watercan.com/goto/joscelyn. Her goal is to raise $10,000.

ABOUT WATERCAN

Since, 1987, WaterCan – a Canadian charity – has been working hard to remedy the frequently-overlooked water and sanitation crisis. More than 780 million people worldwide lack access to clean water, and a further 2.5 billion lack access to basic sanitation. With the help of generous Canadians, WaterCan introduces sustainable, long-term water, sanitation, and hygiene education programs to communities in need. In the 25 years since WaterCan was founded, more than 1.2 million children, women, and men in the worldĘźs most impoverished regions have gained access to clean water through WaterCanĘźs programs, a key step in the process of building healthy and efďŹ cient communities.

BONGO #4364 D/M/H Neutered male 2 years

ROSCOE #4270 Roscoe was found wandering down a country road, he was dehydrated and starving. He has been at the shelter since October 2011 and would love to ďŹ nd a great new home. Roscoe is a very handsome, 6 year old, neutered and declawed boy. He can be affectionate and enjoy attention when he is in the mood. He is curious and likes to explore. Roscoe would be best suited in an adult only home where he will be the only pet. His longer hair will require some grooming. The shelter would be willing to reduce Roscoe’s adoption fee for the right home. Please consider adopting this handsome guy, he’s tired of living in a cage.

Guard your mouth, in all sports, and protect your smile Mouthguards are necessary in any sport where there might be a strong chance of contact with other participants or hard surfaces. Players who participate in sports such as football, hockey, basketball, baseball, soccer, wrestling, lacrosse, rugby, gymnastics and martial arts should wear mouthguards when practising or competing. Mouthguards are also a good idea for recreational activities such as skateboarding, inline skating and cycling. Mouthguards arenʼt just for children. The

most common cause of traumatic dental injury in adults ages 18 to 50 is sports. “A single blow to the mouth can result in injury, pain and sometimes months of treatment,” says Worth. “In any recreational activity, whether itʼs a full-contact sport or skateboarding at a park, a little preparation can prevent costly and painful mistakes.” Talk to your dentist about the type of mouthguard that is right for your child. For more information, visit www.youroralhealth.ca.

and player-to-player contact. But while some dental injuries are unavoidable, most can easily be prevented by wearing a properly fitted mouthguard. “Mouthguards can significantly reduce the risk of mouth injuries by acting as a cushion that absorbs the impact from a blow to the mouth or jaw,” says Dr. Arthur Worth, president of the Ontario Dental Association. “A mouthguard also protects the soft tissues in and around your mouth, such as your tongue, lips and the lining of your cheek.”

Ontario Dental Association recommends mouthguards for all sports activities The warm weather, coupled with the end of the school year, means more time for children to participate in outdoor and recreational activities. Being active helps children get exercise and learn about teamwork but, without proper protection, it can also lead to dental injuries. Sports-related injuries are one of the most common causes of dental injury in children. These injuries are most often caused by direct hits with a hard object, such as a ball,

Royal Canadian Mint celebrates 100th Grey Cup with one-dollar coin A new one-dollar coin commemorating the 100th Grey Cup, Canadaʼs single biggest annual sporting event, was unveiled Tuesday by Jim Flaherty, Minister of Finance and Minister Responsible for the Royal Canadian Mint. “This new circulation coin immortalizes an important milestone in Canadaʼs sports history and our Government is proud to join

Canadians and Canadian football enthusiasts in celebrating the 100th Grey Cup,” said Minister Flaherty. “The Royal Canadian Mintʼs latest circulation one-dollar coin offers a unique opportunity to celebrate the 100th Grey Cup and one of Canadaʼs most exciting annual sporting events,” said Ian E. Bennett, President and CEO of the Royal Canadian

Mint. “Each of the five million 100th Grey Cup circulation coins will be a permanent tribute to the lasting legacy of professional football in Canada.” “This beautiful, new one dollar coin is a shining tribute to the Grey Cupʼs iconic place in the history, culture and future of Canada,” said Mark Cohon, Commissioner of the

Canadian Football League “And the stunning team coins and collections underline the important role our league plays in the life of Canadians and their communities,” he said. “I want to thank the Royal Canadian Mint and our fans, who I know will embrace this and everything weʼre doing to celebrate this year of the 100th Grey Cup with enthusiasm and

passion.” Canadians can now obtain the 100th Grey Cup one-dollar circulation coin at participating Canada Post locations across the country. Designed by Royal Canadian Mint engravers, this finely crafted circulation coin will be used during the coin toss prior to each CFL game in the lead-up to and during the 100th Grey Cup game in Toronto on Nov. 25.

Valley Pride basketball program expanding in October The Arnprior baskeball club, Valley Pride, is offering a new program for Grade 3-4 (under age 10) girls. The program has four competitive teams, with athletes primarily from Renfrew and Arnprior. For years, parents who have had children in Lʼil Warriors in the spring session have been seeking an opportunity to play basketball for a longer season. Last year the club introduced an atom club, whose team of Grade 5 and 6 players played 25 games. Starting Oct 15, the club will introduce the Grade 3 and 4 program.

Meanwhile, the novice program at A.J. Charbonneau Public School in Arnprior will run from 6 to 7 p.m. until the end of February, with a focus on skill development and fun. The coach is Richard Holmes. This program supplements the existing atom, bantam (Grades 7 and 8) and midget (Grades 9 and 10) club teams. These programs start up in early September, with tryouts, and run until the end of April. For more details, visit arnpriorbasketballclub.webs.com or e-mail. richardholmes@ xplornet.com

Opportunity with Canadian Guide Dogs for Blind with you. You require access to a vehicle for veterinary appointments and training sessions. All food and veterinary expenses are provided. This is a commitment, raising and training the dog in your home, with the expectation for daily long walks in all conditions. When the dog is ready to enter into formal training at the National Training Centre of Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind in Manotick, you must be prepared to give up the dog so that it may continue its journey as a guide dog or assistance dog. Ownership of the dog is retained by Canadi-

an Guide Dogs for the Blind. One person is responsible for the pup, but this is a great family volunteer project. Pups are ready to be placed this fall. If the dog graduates, you get the opportunity to meet the client that your dog is matched with. For more information, contact Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind at 613-692-7777 or email info@guidedogs.ca .

Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind is seeking loving homes for future guide and assistance dogs. The volunteer position is called “puppy walking” but entails a lot more. As a puppy walker, you foster a puppy in your home for 12 to 18 months. The idea is for the pup to learn what it takes to become a “good dog” before entering formal training to become a guide dog or assistance dog to help someone in need. You must be home most of the day or obtain permission to take the dog to work

Cyclists, how well do you know the rules of the road? Cycling is a fun, healthy activity and an inexpensive way to get around. Before you go out follow these safety tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable ride: be equipped, know the rules, watch for hazards and ride responsibly. The Ontario Highway Traffic Act (HTA) defines the bicycle as a vehicle that belongs on the road. Riding on the road means riding with other traffic. This is only safe when all traffic uses the same rules of the road. When everyone follows the same rules, actions become more predictable. Drivers can anticipate your moves and plan accordingly. Likewise, you too can anticipate and deal safely with the actions of others.

WHERE DO YOU RIDE?

Because bicycles usually travel at a lower speed, there are two rules of the road to which cyclists must pay special attention: slower traffic stays right, and slower traffic must give way to faster traffic when safe and practical Accordingly, cyclists should ride one meter from the curb or close to the right hand edge of the road when there is no curb, unless they are turning left, going faster than other vehicles or if the lane is too narrow to share.

Mary’s chicken certainly had fashion sense Memories

Learning at a young age, that it was not wise to have a farm animal as a pet was a hard lesson for me. Sooner or later, it would be hauled off in the back of the wagon, or peddled door to door in Renfrew. And many would end up in our smoke house. But that didn’t stop me from favouring a baby lamb, or a newly born calf, and at one time I was especially fond of a chicken that I had named Squeaky. It had come into the world late spring, bursting out of a shell right before my very eyes one rainy day. All the other baby chicks were bright yellow, but this little one was almost white and its feathers were few and far between. Father said it was a weakling and he doubted it would survive. But survive it did. And it was soon obvious that it was not going to be at all like the other chickens. I could see that as it grew it was not going to have much in the way of feathers. Father said that happened sometimes. A cull, he called it. I took to that little chicken, and it to me, and we were soon inseparable. It didn’t look like a chicken and it certainly didn’t sound like one. While the others chirped, this one squawked and that’s why I decided to call it Squeaky. My brothers made fun of the little bare chicken with nothing more than a bit of fuzz around its tail end and a few scraggly hairs at its neck. The rest of its body was completely bare and pink. It had lost its colour as it grew. As the summer wore on and the warm days got chilly, I grew increasingly concerned about Squeaky. It was often pushed aside by the other chickens, and I would find it huddled by itself in a corner of the chicken coop trying to keep warm. I begged Mother to let me bring it in the house at night. I told her I would look after it and I would keep it in a cardboard box, so that it wouldn’t dirty the kitchen floor. Mother said farm animals belonged

in the barn, chickens in the chicken coop. After many tears and promises to scrub the floor on my hands and knees of there was a reason to, Mother finally agreed that I could bring Squeaky into the house to sleep. I emptied a box I found in the drive shed and put one of my dolls’ blankets in it and situated Squeaky and the box behind the Findlay Oval. When I went to bed that first night, the last thing I did before climbing the stairs was check on Squeaky. She was asleep with that bare head tucked under an equally bare wing, the picture of perfect chicken contentment. For the first time in many nights I would go to sleep assured that my pet chicken was warm and safe. As soon as Mother blew out the coal oil lamp, and the kitchen was turned to black, loud squawks could be heard right through the house. I could hear Father jumping out of bed and Audrey and I sat bolt upright. I flew downstairs in the dark just as Father was lighting the lamp and peering into the box behind the stove. There was Squeaky with her head in the air, and her mouth wide open letting out the most outrageous roars I ever heard come out of a chicken. Mother said she was to be taken right out to the chicken coop. I started to wail that it was the middle of the night, and that Squeaky would be frightened to death. “Best thing that could happen to her,” I heard Emerson say from the top of the stairs. I learned early in life that if I cried as if my heart was broken I could usually move Father. Mother was another matter. But that night it was Father’s decision that the chicken could stay in the house upstairs beside my bed, but that it would be the last night it would be sleeping anyplace but in the henhouse. I was sure if it had to spend one more night out in that drafty place it would surely freeze to death. It was my very clever sister Audrey who had

County families don’t have to go through dementia alone The Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County invites individuals caring for family members with dementia to attend its support groups. These monthly support groups offer participants the opportunity to share information, learn, and gain support from others. Support groups are held in: • Renfrew, the first Thursday of every month at Trinity-St. Andrews United Church, 1 to 2:30 p.m. • Arnprior, second Friday every month at Island View Retirement Suites, 1:30 to 3 p.m. • Deep River, second Wednesday every month at North Renfrew Long Term Care Centre, 1:30 to 3 p.m. • Barryʼs Bay, second Thursday every month at Water Tower Lodge, 1:30 to 3 p.m. For more information on dementia or the programs offered by the Alzheimer Society throughout Renfrew County, visit www. alzheimer.ca/ottawa or call 1-888-411-2067.

the perfect solution the next day. She said not to worry, she would take care of the situation. The morning broke cold and windy for a late summer day. When I leaned out of the bed Squeaky was still fast asleep, just as I had left her with my sweater over her naked body. Audrey got out of bed and headed right for the box I kept my doll clothes in. She took out a tiny sweater with buttons I used on my China doll Aunt Lizzie had

sent me from Regina. She forced Squeaky’s legs into the arm holes and buttoned the sweater across its bare breast. It fit her like a glove and once she had shaken her legs a couple of times, resigned herself to her new clothes. We walked right out the kitchen door with the chicken in my doll’s sweater and over to the chicken coop. When Audrey put her down she went scurrying into the crowd demanding her share of the feed.

Just before it got dark that night, Audrey and I went out to take one last look. There was Squeaky apart from the rest of the chickens, fast asleep in her bright red and yellow hand knit sweater. A clever girl was my sister Audrey. Emerson said the coloured sweater would put off the other hens from laying eggs. Audrey said to pay him no attention. My featherless chicken kept growing into larger sweaters. I dreaded the day when she

would join the others in the back of the old Model T Ford to be taken into Renfrew and traded for sugar and flour. But Father and Mother decided, because she was such an odd looking bird, she would likely be as tough as blazes. Squeaky was allowed to live out her life naturally to my great relief. She was featherless and stayed bared in the warm weather, and when the weather was cold, she was cozily wrapped in a doll’s sweater.

HORDICHUK – MEEHAN St. Mary’s Church, Almonte, was adorned with gladiolas and mums was the setting on September 2, 1972, when Margaret Ann, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Andrew Meehan, Almonte, was united in marriage to Waldo Hordichuk, son of Mr. & Mrs. Lucas Hordichuck of Arnprior. Father Edward Lunney officiated at the double ring ceremony. Miss Cathy Byrne was organist. Given in marriage by her father, the bride looked radiant in a floor length empire line gown of Logada crepe with bishop sleeves and high neckline. Imported Chantilly lace with beaded pearls adorned the dress. Her two-tiered floor-length veil was held in place by a small hat bordered with Chantilly

lace and pearls. She carried a bouquet of red roses. Attending the bride as matron of honour was Mrs. Elaine Meehan of Ottawa, sister-in-law of the bride. Miss Elizabeth Torok of Carleton Place and Miss Linda Draper of Ottawa were bridesmaids. The attendants wore identical floor length, long sleeved gowns of printed organza in tones of yellow, gold and moss green with scoop neckline and flounced hemlines. The empire waistlines were marked by a band of moss green satin ribbon. They wore moss green embroidered picture hats and carried bouquets of yellow daisies. Miss Karen Costello, cousin of the bride, was flower girl and wore a floor length gown of peach crepe with short sheer sleeves and flounced hemline. The empire waistline was marked with a band of white satin ribbon. She carried a basket of white daisies. Mr. David Needham of Arnprior was best man. Mr. Pat Meehan of Ottawa, brother of the bride and Mr. David Clarke of Arnprior were ushers. Mr. Dean Ryan of Eganville, cousin of the bride was ring bearer. For the occasion the bride’s mother chose a soft blue floor length embroidered chiffon coat and gown ensemble with wrist length sleeves and a pearl trim at bodice. Matching silver accessories and a corsage of white carnations completed her décor. The mother of the groom wore a floor length, long sleeved gown of mauve fortrel. The bodice was trimmed with pearls. White accessories and a corsage of yellow carnations completed her ensemble. Following the wedding ceremony the bridal party and guests were entertained at dinner held at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall and a reception was held later at the Almonte Town Hall. The couple then left among showers of good wishes on a honeymoon trip to Nassau. For travelling the bride chose a navy and white monotone print dress with coordinating sleeveless navy blue coat. She wore red accessories and a corsage of red carnations. The couple are presently living in Arnprior. Prior to the wedding, the bride was honoured at four miscellaneous showers.

Congratulations on 40 years of love together, four daughters, four sons-in-law, and four grandchildren. May you celebrate 40 years more .... happily ever after! With love from everyone your lives have touched in such a loving way! xo 48 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, August 30, 2012

July events included: Imagine you are an artist: The children made various types of artwork, including edible art, and; Imagine your future job: Kids wore a simple costume that showed what they would like to be when they grow up. In August, kids brought a small toy car that they made a craft with for Imagine your inner

They ďŹ nished off the program with some fairy tale fun. “All our activities, books, games and crafts allowed the children to use their creative minds,â€? librarian Jane Wouda said. “The kids read over 100 books. There was a prize for every 25 books read. TD Bank does a lot (each

year) for the program,� Wouda added. Eight kids also enjoyed a Lego building contest. Creations were judged on Aug. 8, and winners were announced Aug. 9. Lego contest winners were Dominic Merchand in the 4 to 6-year age group, and Mallory Gale in the 7 to 10-year group.
