News - Megan Hazen, 18, of Admaston-Bromley has been a constant entrant for Renfrew Fair competitions at Exhibition Hall over the years. But not this year.

Ironically, she may now look at the hall in an entirely different light, not because she was a non-participant, but because a piece of her art now adorns the entrance to the hall.

The Renfrew Agricultural Society commissioned her to provide a painting that was intended to tell visitors what the building’s all about during the fair.

It’s this former First World War drill hill for Renfrew and Lanark Scottish Regiment, but each September, it’s full of creative, if not persistent, entrants who are judged in 10 different categories.

It’s a pot-pourri of the agricultural scene in Renfrew and area, and that’s exactly what Hazen provided with her 12-foot and eight-foot painting, which was initially delivered in three 4x8 sections. “It’s here to enhance and to encourage the wonderful work and displays at the fair,� says Katrina Crozier, president of the Renfrew Fair’s home craft division at Exhibition Hall. “We’re so proud of it,� said Renfrew Fair general manager Judy Dobec.

The displays at Exhibition Hall will be open during next week’s fair, from 4-10 p.m. opening day, then 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND Sept. 8.

Feeling like a million bucks News - Joan Kobus of Renfrew is $1,000,000 richer after saying ‘yes’ to ENCORE. Her winning Aug. 16 Lotto Max ticket was purchased at Walmart on O’Brien Road. “I usually bring in my tickets from the last draw to check them, and then buy new ones,” said Joan, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to claim her prize. “This time I was so busy with family visiting that I didn’t get to the store so I checked my numbers online. I was shocked! I thought I made a mistake!”

Joan plans to put her winnings toward her future peace of mind. “I feel relieved. I’ll have this money for my retirement – I won’t have to worry.” “I’m glad I said ‘yes’ to ENCORE!” she added. Ontario lottery players received $1.7 billion in prizes in the 2011/12 fiscal year, says the Ontario Lottery Corporation, a provincial agency responsible for province-wide lottery games and gaming facilities.

Changes to Endangered Species Act sorely needed, Muzzi tells county council Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Renfrew County hasn’t been shy about telling the provincial government that the Endangered Species Act needs fixing.

At the Aug. 28 meeting of county council, Renfrew County forestry manager Jeff Muzzi outlined the obstacles or potential obstacles faced by landowners whose property is inhabited by species at risk.

There are 48 species at risk in Renfrew County, but that number could increase to 66, said Muzzi.

“It’s getting very difficult to manage forests and private property with the increasing restrictions of the Endangered Species Act,” said Muzzi.

“This is an issue county council staff has been dealing with for about five years,” said Renfrew County chief administrative officer Jim Hutton.

“It’s a very concerning issue. The key for me is balance, and this (legislation) is way out of balance,” added Hutton, who said county staff is finalizing a report on recommended changes to the ESA this month.

“We feel the recent changes to the ESA were a step in the right direction, but they didn’t go far enough … We’re not saying endangered species should be wiped out, but it (protection for them) is out of balance.”

The county is also taking a scientific approach by speaking to biologists who have concerns about the ESA, noted Hutton.

Renfrew County species with regulated habitat (which comes with greater landuse restrictions) are the barn owl, pale-bellied frost lichen, wood turtle, eastern grey

Fair

The two-storey building, which was built in 1916, became property of the Renfrew Agricultural Society about 50 years later.

The 10 categories portrayed in Hazen’s painting are the same ones contested at the fair: field crops, farm produce

ratsnake, eastern hog-nosed snake, fivelined skink (lizard) and bogbean buckmoth.

Local species with general habitat descriptions (GHDs) must also be protected, although related restrictions are generally less prohibitive. They are protected according to three separate categories, including the more restrictive category one. If a species is a confirmed inhabitant, Muzzi said this will likely trigger a process that at least temporarily halts activity on the land.

As of June 13, species with GHDs were ginseng, the barn swallow, blanding’s turtle, bobolink, chimney swift, eastern meadowlark, eastern whip-poor-will and butternut.

Some of these species, including the blanding’s turtle, may be identified as species at risk, thus resulting in more restrictions on property owners.

Muzzi wonders how the blanding’s turtle can be a species at risk, when he has about 60 photos of them. He also draws the same conclusion about many identified species at risk. “I have an issue with all of them because I don’t think the science is very good,” Muzzi told The Mercury.

“I can go down to my dock on the Bonnechere River and hear whip-poor-wills every evening. They’re less frequent than they once were, but they’re not infrequent.”

In the case of ginseng, Muzzi says regulations allow hiking and non-motorized vehicle use on existing recreational trials.

Incompatible activities, according to the regulations, are activities that reduce canopy cover or understory vegetation, and alterations to drainage.

In the case of bobolinks, which Muzzi says are a common sighting in the county,

(maple syrup), floral culture, domestic science, needlework and craft, fruits and vegetables, 4H, women’s institutes, junior fair, and art, wood and photography.

Hazen, who hopes to be part of the art scene for many years to come, is headed to the Ontario College of Art and Design University in Toronto this fall semester

to start a four-year bachelor’s degree.

“I’ve always loved it,” says the Renfrew Collegiate Institute grad of her passion for art.

“I’ve always loved being able to create things and express myself by painting or drawing things that make me happy, or mean something, or that I think are beautiful.”

incompatible activities on property they inhabit may include the conversion of hay to cash crops.

After Muzzi’s presentation, Deep River Mayor David Thompson weighed in on the issue with strong language.

“If there’s anything here that is endangered, it is common sense,” said Thompson. “This really is beyond comprehension.

Thousands of species have become extinct every year. That’s the way it works … evolution. And for us to think we have some super power to protect all species, that is not realistic.

“Obviously, human interaction has some effect … but this position on private property is not justified. It is a huge imposition and of course the rules are being made by people who reside in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area). Well, there’s not too many endangered species down there because, with their concrete buildings and highways, there’s no species at all. It’s easy for them to say we should protect what they’ve already destroyed.

“So, this is poorly, poorly drafted legislation, not very well thought out, and (it) directly affects the ability of the hard-working men and women of Renfrew County at the ground level.”

Meanwhile, Muzzi says he’s hoping the provincial government offers a receptive ear to the county’s forthcoming report on recommendations to the Endangered Species Act. The big focus is on making the act workable, said Muzzi. The report is scheduled to be presented to the county’s property and development committee and county council in September.

The daughter of Laurie and Harold Hazen says the painting strikes an emotional chord.

“It means a lot because I’ve entered a lot of stuff in the fair, but I wasn’t able to do so this year. So, it’s kind of like leaving my mark, and it’s a great opportunity to get my name out in the community.”

She also likes the final

product.

“I like the scale,” she explains.

“I like to draw things that are really big and colourful.

“That gives you an opportunity to do what you want and make it stand out.”

She also expresses gratefulness to the agricultural society for the unique opportunity.

Emon to seek second term as Renfrew County warden Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Peter Emon will seek a second term as warden of Renfrew County.

The mayor of Greater Madawaska made the announcement at the end of the Aug. 28 meeting of county council.

The meeting began, following the county council prayer and national anthem, with council singing Happy Birthday to him.

“I have enjoyed working with and for council and staff in serving the community,” Emon, 53, told county council.

“I hope I will retain the confidence of council and be able to serve in the office of warden in 2014.”

The deadline for nominations is in November 2013, but it’s common practice for candidates to announce their intentions a few months ahead.

“Peter has been an excellent warden,” Bonnechere Valley Mayor Jennifer Murphy told The Mercury.

“He’s been a wonderful mentor for me the last few years, and I’m looking forward to seeing him as the warden in 2014.”

Entering his first term as warden, Emon said he favoured multi-year terms of office. About eight months into his term, he says he has felt comfortable in the role.

David Stewart became the first warden to serve more than a single one-year term, when he led council in 1997 and 1998. And every warden, except Paul Curtis in 1999, has served two or more

terms since then. Bill Schweig, Janice Visneskie and Don Rathwell each served two years, while Bob Sweet served five terms – first in 2004 to 2006, then in 2011 and 2012.

“The importance of sitting for multiyear terms is the continuity, and getting the face time and the name recognition with ministry staff and with the Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus, because they have so many good initiatives going forward,” said Emon.

“It’s important that you don’t have to re-educate the 13 members on a year-toyear basis.”

The biggest challenge as warden, said Emon, has been “trying to make sure the issues you address at Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus or with the Ontario ministries are disseminated as information to local councils, so they can use that information for their presentations and to face their challenges.”

A little more than half a year as the warden, Emon says the best part of the job is the people.

“The people in the county, as a community, have been awesome. You go to meet them at events and they’re glad to see you, and 99 per cent of the time it’s positive. And they share a pile of information about local things or about people you might know. It’s been good.”

Two particular highlights for Emon have been meeting Governor-General David Johnston, during a volunteerrecognition ceremony at Pembroke’s Miramichi Lodge, and astronaut Chris Hadfield, at the Association of Munici-

palities of Ontario conference in Ottawa.

“Too often as Canadians we’re too willing to throw our leadership, or prominent Canadians, under the bus and say we’re not impressed or totally pleased with them. But when you meet someone like him (Johnston), who is a thinker and a leader and a genuinely nice man, and to spend time with him; that was a real highlight. Also, to meet Chris Hadfield … he’s just a nice Canadian with a world view of things. He’s calm, self-assured, bright – all the things you want your leaders to be. He’s not a leader, in the sense that he’s a political leader, but a leader by showing how we should conduct ourselves as public figures and as Canadians, with a sense of responsibility.”

Meanwhile, Emon says he has three major focuses as warden, namely to: • get a commitment from the Province for a continued and scheduled improvement of Highway 17 from Arnprior to the northwestern boundary of Renfrew County; • see substantial changes to the Endangered Species Act that take into consideration specific regional concerns and realities.

• gain continued support for the evolution and development of Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. in Chalk River; “Don’t replicate it and uproot it to somewhere else,” said Emon of AECL. “Any suitors who are coming to buy AECL know this (Renfrew County) is its home and the best place for it.”

Taste of the Valley in Renfrew Sept. 21 News - One down and three to go.

Barry’s Bay has successfully hosted its annual Taste of the Valley event, as vendors prepare to attend the second stop of the four-part series.

“It was very successful and well attended,” said Madawaska Valley Mayor David Shulist of the Barry’s Bay event Friday, Aug. 16. “It’s a great way to display and showcase one’s area.”

The second Taste of the Valley event runs 10

a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Renfrew Armouries and Fairgrounds Saturday, Sept. 21.

The events feature several dozen local vendors with locally-produced products, including food, arts, services and a wide variety of other products. The annual series’ final two stops are Oct. 5 in Deep River and Oct. 19 in Cobden.

Cobden is traditionally the largest of the Taste of the Valley events, which are all organized by the County of Renfrew.

County to cover expensive culvert replacement Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - The condition of two Burwell Road culverts in Admaston-Bromley is so bad the road has been closed until repairs can be made. That work will be done in September and/or October, but at a cost much higher than the Renfrew County public works department anticipated.

The culverts are located about three kilometres south of Snake River Line on a road used largely by local farms and other commercial operations.

The county’s variance report in June suggested a cost about $670,000, but it turns out the project, which involves the replacement of two culverts, will be $945,000. A large part of the cost is a dewatering process, also known as a coffer dam construction. “We’re worried about the stability of the culverts, because there could

h�š‘ cf ^šŽ|‘“—�‘|

be some flooding issues,� said David Darch, Renfrew County director of public works and engineering. “The water levels are higher than normal after a very wet spring.�

The low and accepted tender came from Brudenell Excavating Incorporated (BEI) of Renfrew. All seven tenders were significantly over the engineering estimates.

BEI’s bid was $704,212. Supply costs of $137,000, from Atlantic Industries Limited, and taxes are additional.

Decades ago, the road would have been the responsibility of the local municipality, but a late-1990s agreement resulted in culverts with a span wider than 10 feet being transferred to the county infrastructure.

Despite the over-budget project, deferrals and cost savings on projects this year will probably leave the county’s $15 million capital works budget about $200,000 under-budget, says Darch.

Councillor ties the knot Steve Newman

613-432-8997

News - One Renfrew County councillor has a new name.

Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards Mayor Janice Visneskie tied the knot for the second time, when she was married in a quiet ceremony Aug. 8 in Admaston-Bromley Township.

Visneskie, who married Leslie Moore, has changed her surname to Visneskie-Moore.

The couple lives in Golden Lake.

In consecutive years, Visneskie-Moore is the second-longest serving Renfrew County councillor.

Jack Wilson of Laurentian Valley will have served 50 years by late 2014, while VisneskieMoore has served on county council since her 1986 election as reeve of Hagarty and Richards.

She became county councillor for the amalgamated Township of Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards in 2000.

The couple was married at the AdmastonBromley home of marriage commissioner Angela Yolkowskie before spending their honeymoon in Quebec City.

Visneskie-Moore has two adult-age children, Lee Bush and Erik Bush, from an earlier marriage.

Greater Madawaska steps into new chambers on Parnell Street Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

News - Greater Madawaska council made some history Aug. 27.

Leaving its former council chambers on Francis Street behind, the township held its first official regular council meeting at their new home at 19 Parnell St. in Calabogie.

Mayor Peter Emon is pleased with the new surroundings, which provide extra space for staff and council.

“It’s very nice because we have staff in individual offices.

Prior to this, we were having three people share an office or two people share an office (at the previous location). Plus, with their paper and filing cabinets, it was too crowded for them,” the mayor said.

“If they wanted to hold a meeting, the other person had to leave and go somewhere else to work. It was a necessary improvement for efficiency and also for the building, to carry on work.”

The new location has historical value, Mayor Emon added.

“The council chambers is

part of the original school building when it was a oneroom schoolhouse. It was constructed in 1914, and we’ve managed to keep the original hardwood floor which is a combination of maple, ash and birch, as well as restore the original steel ceiling which adds to the historic value of the building.”

The public will have an opportunity to view the new council chambers next month.

“During Festival of the Senses and the Rural Ramble on the first weekend in October (Saturday, Oct. 5) we are going to have an open house,” the mayor said.

“We’ll be cutting a ribbon on this place, as well. The idea is we will have a display outlining the history of this building as a school, and also, we’ll be inviting former students back to this building.”

The day will also be deemed Greater Madawaska Library Day. “The library will be 35 years old at that point, so they’ll be putting a display in here,” Mayor Emon said.

Past and present library board members and staff will

be recognized. The library will also showcase expansion plans for its 1101 Francis St. location.

The benefits of the new rink slab at 574 Mill St. will also be shown. Staff will be available, and weather permitting, visitors will be allowed to try pickle ball, a game gaining popularity in the township.

PEAKS EVENT

Calabogie Peaks Resort is hosting the first annual Final Fall Race Weekend Party Sept.

6.

The event consists of music

by Trevor Finlay inside the lodge, and temporary camping on site.

They estimate a crowd of around 200 people. About 50 RVs or campers are expected.

A site plan showing the location of the temporary camping plus other particulars was provided to council by the Peaks.

Council did not wave the application fee, but approved the late acceptance (inside 60 days) of the Peaks’ application, allowing this Friday’s event to move forward.

Cavanagh Construction will perform granular work on six roads plus the Matawatchan Salt Shed and the Griffith and Calabogie garages at a total cost of $67,574.

Manor awarded 190kW Fit contract

Thanks from Admaston-Bromley Admaston-Bromley Township wished two former staff members all the best in future endeavours at the Stone Road municipal office Aug. 22. Ruth Quast, left, is retiring after 10 years (March 2003) as clerk-secretary in the public works department. Sarah McGregor-Briscoe is moving on to pursue other interests after being employed in the accounting department since February 2011. Both ladies were presented with parting gifts on behalf of Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe, council, staff and residents of Admaston-Bromley.

SHARON SCHRUDER

News - Good news for Bonnechere Manor and the County of Renfrew! The long-term care home was successful through the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) Feed-in Tariff (FIT) Program, a government-sponsored renewable energy program intended to generate new sources of solar power.

With only a few medium fit applications approved in Eastern Ontario, Bonnechere Manor is excited to have County Council’s support to move forward with the opportunity of a 190 kW solar panel project on its rooftop.

The initial cost of the solar panels is approximately $1 million, however, the contract with Ontario Hydro will provide Bonnechere Manor with revenue exceeding $2.3 million over the course of 20 years, and another $100,000 per year in utility savings for an additional ten years before the panels need replacing.

County of Renfrew Warden Peter Emon also supports and praises the staff for their continued work on this project.

“I’m pleased that Bonnechere Manor was successful in their FIT application with Ontario Power Authority.

“This is a great opportunity to generate revenue and benefit the taxpayers of Renfrew County. The County of Renfrew will continue to research the availability of similar projects.”

“I support the entrepreneurial leadership demonstrated by the Bonnechere Manor management team on this initiative,” says Killaloe, Hagarty & Richards Mayor Janice VisneskieMoore, chair of the health committee, “I’m proud of the staff at the Home because they are always looking at opportunities to generate revenue and reduce the municipal contribution in operating costs,” says Bonnechere Manor administrator Shayne Hoelke.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Program stands the test of time Opinion - Government programs come and go like the seasons. But one local program has withstood the test of time, and in November is set to celebrate.

Enterprise Renfrew County is about to mark its 25th anniversary as a small business enterprise centre, serving entrepreneurs from across the County of Renfrew.

For the past nine years, Enterprise Renfrew County has also hosted one of the largest and most successful annual small business conferences in the County of Renfrew, with an average attendance of more than 125 participants.

This year marks the 10th Bridges to Better Business event, described by consultant Colleen Sadler as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a one-day learning and networking opportunity packed with great ideas to help entrepreneurs succeed.â&#x20AC;?

The theme this year is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Power Up Your Businessâ&#x20AC;ŚInnovate, Integrate, Motivateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

The event features a keynote speaker, peerto-peer networking, interactive presentation and learning opportunity, and knowledgeable local business people to share their business strategies through a panel discussion, sharing experiences, ideas, concerns and successes that will provide the entrepreneur with maximum take-home value often in the form of a unique solution.

The conference is Friday, Oct. 25 at the Renfrew Armouries and early registration is encouraged.

Enterprise Renfrew County, formerly the Renfrew County Business Self-Help Office, is rooted in a Ministry of Industry, Trade and Technology pilot first business self-help offices in Ottawa and Kitchener in early 1986. Thenmayor Audrey Green and Town of Renfrew officials began negotiations in 1987, through a grant proposal to the Ontario government, to open a self-help office in Renfrew.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Today, centres operate in both Renfrew and Pembroke where a satellite office operates from the County of Renfrew Administration Building in Pembroke.

On Feb. 28, 2002 the Renfrew County SelfHelp Office officially became Enterprise Renfrew County.

The non-profit program is congratulated on its longevity and the services provided to local entrepreneurs.

It is also recognized as a prime example of the power of partnership as it is funded by the Government of Ontario through the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Employment, in partnership with the County of Renfrew, the Town of Renfrew, City of Pembroke, and various public and private sponsors.

With a mandate to encourage and contribute to the enterprising spirit and economic development of the county, this is one government program we can all endorse.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Renfrew scores top points with newcomers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 10 reasons why To the editor: Opinion - Did you happen to see the recent feature in the Homes section of an Ottawa newspaper?

The virtues of a number of Ottawa Valley towns were extolled, and rightly so, as lower housing prices and the many charms of small town life draw home buyers further and further from the bustle of the city..

But where, I ask you, was the section highlighting the town of Renfrew?

My husband and I are newcomers to Renfrew. Although we purchased a home here in the late 1990s, our plans to re-locate kept slipping further into the future.

Finally, last summer, the time seemed right to make the move.

Now after a full year here, family and friends in Ottawa seem somewhat surprised to hear me, a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;born and bredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ottawa girl, brag about how much I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE living here in Renfrew.

Truthfully, this love affair has come as a surprise even to me. I have come to love my adopted town even beyond my own high expectations.

So, to make amends for the careless snub to Renfrew in that OTHER newspaper, I have taken a page from late night TV and created a Top 10 List of Reasons Why We Love The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Frew.

Number 10: Location â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Renfrew is a fabulous home-base for fishing, camping, cottage-country and is every sports enthusiasts dream. And, if you really must go to the city, the highway is close by and gosh, the commute seems to get shorter and shorter.

Number 9: Volunteerism â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is truly exceptional in Renfrew as willing men, women and children give their time and energy generously to those in need.

Number 8: Though the road to this design may not always have been smooth, decisions to locate the health-care centres on the west side town and the big box stores on the opposite side of town now seems quite orderly. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a fan of this style of town planning.

Number 7: The Renfrew Fair â&#x20AC;&#x201C; going strong and still the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Greatest Fair in the Ottawa Valley since

1853.â&#x20AC;? OMG! Can that be right?

Number 6: The Renfrew Mercury â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an informative must-read with a healthy helping of news and a side serving of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Old Filesâ&#x20AC;? and Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories for the nostalgia lovers. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m told a glass of wine and a copy of The Mercâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is a popular Thursday night tradition in many homes.

Number 5: Radio Bingo â&#x20AC;&#x201C; on Valley Heritage Radio CJHR 98.7 FM. Quirky and crazy but â&#x20AC;Ś crazy cool. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Nuff said.

Number 4: Millennium Trail â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you CAN get there from here. The trail offers four-season enjoyment whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on two legs, two wheels, or riding the track on your Arctic Cat. For nature lovers, photographers, fitness buffs and anyone just out for a stroll, it does not get any better than the Millennium Trail.

Number 3: Rich and exciting history is part of the fabric of this town.

The McDougall Mill Museum, our Town Clock, the Armouries, Fairgrounds, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien Theatre, former mansions and the many wonderful architectural details found downtown

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Biblical arguments against homosexuality are nonsense waters, they shall be an abomination unto you”. Apparently eating shrimp is also an abomination.

Owning slaves, however, meets with the Bible’s approval. Leviticus 25:44-45 states: “Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids. Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.”

Does Ms. Dienesch rail against serving shrimp in public restaurants with the same verve that she rails against gay pride parades? Does she lament that the secular laws of Canada deny Christians the right to own slaves that is guaranteed under “God’s law”? If so, practically everyone would find her views morally unacceptable. If not, then her appeal to

“Biblical truth” is nothing more than blatant deception. Ms. Dienesch in fact has no regard for Biblical truth if she does not condemn eating shrimp and does not support slave owner-

To the editor: Opinion - Re: “Editorial gave skewed depiction of those who don’t share view” (page 8, Thursday, August 29, 2013) Yvonne Dienesch’s letter to the editor on August 29 appeals to “the Biblical truth about sodomy” to justify a disapproval of the sexual and romantic lives of gay people. This argument has been publicly refuted many times, but homophobic Christians continue to avoid staring the problem of Biblical justification in the face.

Here we go again. Don’t look away.

The most commonly quoted Bible passage about homosexuality is Leviticus 18:22: “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” Compare this to Leviticus 11:10: “And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the

Jenn Grant adds local performance to tour Events - Canadian artist Jenn Grant will be performing Sunday, Sept. 15 at the Neat Cafe in Burnstown. The East Coast musician will begin her 2013 fall tour in early September including dates with Ron Sexsmith.

Grant will also introduce her audience to the gorgeous artwork of fellow Haligonian installation-based printmaker Charley Young, using one of Charlie’s pieces of work as the backdrop throughout her tour.

“One of the hardest-working artists in this country, Jenn is set to hit the road this fall, bringing with her a batch of new material that she has written for her next album,” says a recent news release. “Grant’s intuitive ability to express emotion has helped to define her as one of Canada’s premiere vocalists. A Juno nominee, she has released four albums to date, beginning with Orchestra To The Moon in 2007. Her most recent, and first U.S.-released record, The Beautiful Wild, won the 2013 ECMA POP Recording of the year. On this album, her prismatic, iridescent voice sparkles over adventurous layers of harp, sitar and flute.” Grant has performed across North America, Europe, Japan and Australia .

Festival Hall announces impressive fall lineup Festival Hall

Events - Festival Hall, the largest performing arts venue in the Ottawa Valley, is about to announce their mammoth season of shows and performances.

The lineup confirms that the 600 seat theatre is alive and well.

Starting the fall season is the first annual Valley DocFest – Documentary Film Festival, presented by Festival Hall and NBC Universal. The Festival will feature 10 films during its run, Sept. 11 to 22.

This exciting plunge into the movie genre is a first for the hall.

Director Rick Wharton has also recently formed a partnership with TIFF (the Toronto International Film Festival) and plans are in the works to bring movies back to downtown Pembroke.

The generosity of NBC UNIVERSAL will also provide much needed screening and projection equipment.

Movie titles and descriptions can be found on the festival hall website, www.festhall.ca.

An affordable ticket price ($10 per film or $50 for an unlimited festival pass – with half price admission for students – makes the red carpet experience accessible to everyone.

The exciting lineup of films includes opening night’s My Father and

the Man in Black, a licenced event being shown on the 10th anniversary of Johnny Cash’s death, featuring local music legend Jordon Zadorozny performing some of Cash’s hits.

The next night’s Friday night gala is sponsored by local Madameek Restaurant and features a touching documentary which will hit home to many – If I should Fall – the Marc Diab story. This documentary chronicles one of our own fallen soldiers from Petawawa. Food samples will be served and this is also a licenced event.

Saturday night Neil Young’s Journey comes to our “small town in north Ontario.” This exciting night brings with it Neil’s sister Astrid Young, an accomplished writer and musician.

Other movies include Sarah Polley’s Stories We Tell, West Wind – the Tom Thomson Story, HAPPY, Bobcaygeon (The Tragically Hip) with special guests. Brooke Johnson’s - Massanoga a lumber film telling her family story about a local town nearby that no longer exists.

The award winning Revolution will feature afternoon and evening performances geared towards high school and college classes.

The closing Sunday night gala features Going Blind with special speakers, presenters and exhibits.

David Francey performs at the Neat Coffee House in Burnstown Sept. 27

Folk troubadour in Burnstown Sept. 27 Heather Kitching

Events - Three-time Juno-winner David Francey has announced his fall launch tour for So Say We All. Among the stops on tour are Sept.

19 at St. Paul’s United Church in Perth and Sept. 27 at the Neat Coffee Shop in Burnstown.

Long-time manual labourerturned three-time Juno-winning folk troubadour, Francey sets off on a cross-Canada tour this month, giving audiences a chance to see him live for the first time since the spring release of So Say We All, his 10th recording.

The album – an homage to perseverance, inspired by a recent period of hardship in Francey’slife – went to #2 on the iTunes singer-songwriter chart and has been top 5 on the folk radio charts in both Canada and the U.S. It also earned solid praise from Exclaim, which suggested Francey “has had more impact than any oldschool Canadian folk songsmith since the late great Stan Rogers.”

Francey joined Jian Ghomeshi on CBC’s Q after the release to discuss the experiences with depression that inspired the album. He told Gho-

meshi he never thought twice about discussing such personal subject in song.

“There seems to be some kind of stigma around depression and I don’t understand why it’s there,” said Francey. “There’s no shame in it. None at all.”

He added, “I didn’t really expect it to cause any kind of stir that way, mostly because I don’t view it that way myself.”

Described by the Georgia Straight as “the closest thing this country has to Woody Guthrie,” Francey spent more than 25 years working in rail yards, construction sites and in the Yukon Bush, prolifically documenting working class life through songs and poems he never imagined he would ever earn money from.

However, urged to perform by his wife, Beth Girdler, who recognized a rare and desperately-sought-after authenticity in her husband’s work, Francey took to the stage for the first time at the age of 45 and was instantly embraced in the folk world.

Within a decade of his debut, Francey had won three Junos, topped the Penguin Eggs Critics Poll three times, earned a Canadian Folk Music Award and a Socan Award,

and won several other high profile songwriting honours. His song Skating Rink, a tribute to the smalltown backyard rink, became a staple of CBC’s Hockey Day in Canada broadcasts, and, in 2007, Francey was named one of the Top 25 Artists of the Past 25 Years by listeners of WUMB, Boston (NPR).

Francey’s songs have been covered by well-known artists such as The Del McCoury Band, The Rankin Family, The Barra MacNeils and Tracy Grammer, and Francey has co-written with the Trews, who perform two of his songs as part of their live shows.

Most recently, Francey’s journey from construction site to concert stage was captured in the Juno-nominated feature-length documentary Burning Bright, which aired on the Documentary Channel.

Francey spent the early spring of this year touring Australia with Kieran and Lucas Kane to promote their new trio project, Go Jane Go. Prior to touring Canada, Francey will spend 10 days performing in and exploring Ireland with about a dozen fans as part of a special “folk holiday” package organized by Inishfree Tours.

Hair-raising effort Community - Michael Donohue of The Renfrew Mercury prepares to have seven years of hair growth, including this 27-inch ponytail, cut by Alison Punt at First Choice Haircutters in Renfrew. Donohue helped raise more than $500, with the help of Mercury employees, for Malcolm and Rhonda Blaedow (standing behind the chair). Rhonda underwent leg surgery after breaking her leg in an accident, and Malcolm has just had surgery to remove cancer and lymph nodes in his legs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m quite honoured by what Michael has done,â&#x20AC;? said Malcolm. First Choice did the cut at no charge and provided four free-haircut certificates. At right, Donohueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aug. 23 hair-raising cut is nearly over.

Hair harvested from Tommy MacAskill About a year ago Tommy MacAskill decided to grow his hair so it could be used for another boy or girl who has lost their hair because of cancer. He reached his goal of being able to donate over 10 inches of hair for this special program. While Tommy will not know who gets his hair, he feels good knowing that it will help to bring a ray of sunshine to another child, and that someone cared enough to grow his or her hair and donate it to this worthy cause. Hair as short as eight inches long can be used for this purpose, but over 10 inches allows for more leeway in making the wigs. Tommy says that the toughest thing about growing your hair long is when your mom makes you brush it, but that it is worth it.

Massage therapy business doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t skip a beat Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

News - Meaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Massage Therapy owner Meagan Patterson will be stepping aside for the next while on maternity leave.

But that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean the business wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t still be open.

Renfrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stuart Mason has taken over the reins at the ofďŹ ce at 72 Prince St. W. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to pick up a bit of the slack for her, and then, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see where it goes from there,â&#x20AC;?

Mason said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very happy here,â&#x20AC;? he added. Meaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Massage Therapy shares the downstairs space with Leigh Watson, who does esthetics work â&#x20AC;&#x153;I focus on therapeutic massage,â&#x20AC;?

Mason said.

Getting help through massage himself enticed Mason to do the same for other people.

When working for Bowes Publishing years ago, after spending much time in front of a computer, Masonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s posture began to suffer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The company, at the time, gave us pretty liberal beneďŹ ts when it came to massage therapy,â&#x20AC;? Mason noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So

I started getting a massage back then, I really fell in love with the results I was getting.â&#x20AC;?

Ten years later, after getting laid off a number of times, Mason became eligible for the second career program through the Province of Ontario. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been leaning towards health care for quite some time, and with my appreciation for massage, I decided to go that rout.â&#x20AC;?

The Renfrew native attended and graduated with honours from the Everest College Massage Therapy Program.

As a massage therapy student, Mason has had the opportunity to work extensively with the public, including time at an Ottawa-area nursing home and with Ottawa Senators players.

He is now looking forward to treating clients from the Renfrew area with a focus on prevention and education to avoid injury, muscle imbalance and relieve pain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of the basic beneďŹ ts to massage therapy are increased blood ďŹ&#x201A;ow, relaxation, decreased healing times, decreased pain, better posture and better joint health,â&#x20AC;? Mason said.

As a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beneďŹ ts will of-

ten cover the treatments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are ďŹ nding more or more doctors are prescribing message as a complement to other treatments, or as a way of dealing with a lot of dysfunction,â&#x20AC;? Mason said.

United Way names honorary chair

Chamber welcomes citizens to Renfrew Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

News - The Renfrew and Area Chamber of Commerce held its annual Newcomers Night at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 148 hall Aug. 28.

A number of local businesses set up exhibits to show the newest Renfrew residents some of what the town has to offer.

Aside from the collecting of brochures and pamphlets, newcomers also had an opportunity to sample schnitzel and pizza.

Representing the town, Coun. Andrew Evans welcomed the newcomers.

“Myself, I am a recent transplant to Renfrew from Ottawa,” he told the gathering.

“This is one of many events that are hosted through the Chamber of Commerce to not only promote themselves, but to welcome people to their new and exciting businesses.”

Chamber president Rob Campbell said a plan on making a bigger effort to get more townspeople out would cer-

tainly help this event in future years.

“This is a great event to show the newcomers what’s here for them, why we live here, and to give them a good feeling on why they have chosen to move here.” Campbell said.

“We’ve had a great turnout, some great exhibitors to let people know what’s going on here, but we definitely would love to see more of our citizens out to welcome these newcomers.”

Cindy Andrews, hired recently as the Chamber of Commerce general manager, greeted the newcomers at the door.

“We have 12 families this year. Last year there were 18 families, so it’s been good,” she said.

“Cindy comes to us with much experience and energy,” Campbell said of Andrews’ appointment as general manager.

“We are really looking forward to her settling in and applying her skills in our organization specifically, and in the community of Renfrew.”

Renfrew and Area Chamber of Commerce general manager Cindy Andrews, right, greets Chris Richards and Jane Havey, two of Renfrew’s newest citizens, at Newcomers Night in the Royal Canadian Legion Wednesday night. Havey later won the door prize draw. She and Richards recently moved to town from Round Lake Centre.

The Renfrew County United Way has announced that Dr. Robert (Bob) Walker, President & CEO of Atomic Energy Canada Limited (AECL) Chalk River is the organization’s 2013 honorary campaign chair.

Board chair Shelley Rolland-Poruks believes Dr. Walker’s myriad of experience with Government of Canada Workplace Charitable Campaigns (GCWCC), as well as his leadership for several years of very successful campaigns at AECL will be a tremendous asset to the United Way this year.

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Bob during AECL’s annual United Way Workplace Campaign”, Rolland-Poruks says.

“He is such a passionate and strong supporter of United Way and his leadership at AECL has inspired employees to grow the largest annual workplace campaign that supports the Renfrew County United Way,” she adds.

The 2013 Campaign will officially launch at a kick-off breakfast event to be held on Tuesday, Sept. 10 in Petawawa.

In addition, the United Way board of directors has set a fundraising goal of $500,000 for this year’s campaign. ”I’m excited by this opportunity to help our county’s United Way meet its 2013 objectives.

The United Way campaign is so important because proceeds are put in the hands of community organizations that are best able to address community priorities in Renfrew County,” Dr. Walker states.

She described this particular group of graduates as a spirited group. They showed their tremendous spirit for their school, families and extended community through two interactive i-Movie presentations prepared by graduates Kate Ryan, Connor Dowdall, Ryley Friske and Darby Songolo.

Welcome to St. Thomas the Apostle It was a busy time at local schools last week. Summer holidays have come and gone, and teachers have been busy preparing for the 201314 school year. A new face will be at St. Thomas the Apostle School this year to greet you, whether it be over the phone or at the door. After 28 years, secretary Bev Moran has retired. Taking over is Alison Shalla, second from left. She is welcomed, from left, by teachers Jessica Belanger and Annice O’Rourke, and principal Connie Dick. People are reminded, with the school year now upon us, when driving, watch for children, and obey the rules when meeting or following a school bus.

yourself be distracted and ask questions.

4. Take notes: as well as facilitating memorization, note-taking doesn’t leave room for day dreaming.

It helps you stay alert and focused.

5. Explain things to yourself or to someone else: read over your notes, then hide them and explain out loud what you’ve just read.

6. Use your imagination: who says studying has to be boring?

Singing while reading or varying the tone of voice while reading aloud stimulates different areas of the brain.

This varied brain activity makes memorizing easier and faster.

Fortunately, brain power is supple and can be developed by exercising it.

Here are a few tips: 1. Good posture. Sit comfortably, with back straight, shoulders relaxed, and feet flat on the floor. Avoid crossing your legs or, even worse, slumping over your desk.

2. Relax: inhaling and exhaling deeply through the nose allows you to relax and increase your level of concentration.

Horton hosts grand finale of Bonnechere River – Future Tense Bonnechere River Watershed Project

News - Close to 100 people came out on Friday evening, Aug. 23 to the Horton Community Centre to enjoy dinner and an evening of entertainment hosted by the Bonnechere River Watershed Project, which included the grand finale of the play Bonnechere River – Future Tense, an original musical comedy co-produced with Stone Fence Theatre (SFT).

The play, which raised some serious questions about the river, the people who live in its watershed, and how best to protect them all, was performed nine times over the past four months to enthusiastic audiences up and down the Bonnechere River watershed.

Bonnechere River – Future Tense was written by Ish Theilheimer and Johanna Zomers, with original music

by Terry McLeish and John Haslam, and was directed by Chantal ElieSernoskie. It featured veteran Stone Fence Theatre players Josh McCoy, Maureen McCoy, Amber Dagenais, Chantal Elie-Sernoskie, Terry McLeish and John Haslam. The producers were Ann Bulger (for SFT) and Kathy Lindsay (for BRWP).

The evening’s entertainment also featured the premiere of A Glimpse

in Time, a photographic commission

by Dorothy Garlough for the Bonnechere River Watershed Project.

The commissioned work explores possible options for our future in the Bonnechere River watershed and featured wonderful photographs by Garlough and other local photographers, some of which were set to music by Ottawa Valley fiddler, April Verch.

Also during the evening, Bonnechere River Watershed Project guest, Chris Hinsperger took the stage and introduced a special guest, Ms. Bonnechere River, played by Chantal Elie-Sernoskie.

Hinsperger was delighted to have a chance to interview Ms. Bonnechere River about a number of things that

he had been pondering for decades.

When asked what we can do to repay Ms. Bonnechere River for all she has done for us, she replied, “Keep me clean and pristine, respect the flow, and hesitate when you’re going to contaminate. I need the people and the people need me, it’s a cycle, we’re always hard at work.”

Hinsperger and Ms. Bonnechere River then recited My River, My Love, a poem written by Hinsperger, about the Bonnechere River.

Also on stage that evening was the BRWP spokesfrog, Bonnie Chere, animated by Trish Leeper, a puppeteer living in the Calabogie area, and local singer songwriter Terry McLeish, who entertained the crowd with his humour and a few of

Dr. José Pereira welcomes directors from the Beth Donovan Hospice in Kemptville and the Hospice Renfrew to a conference at the May Court Hospice on Aug. 22. The new telecommunication service will help connect doctors, nurses and volunteers to patients across the Ottawa region.

CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF RENFREW The Town of Renfrew are requesting proposals for the provision of services for the operation of the Renfrew Landfill.

Documents may be obtained during operating hours of the Town of Renfrew commencing 12:00 p.m. on Friday, September 6, 2013.

Technology expands palliative care the benefits include timely treatment, reduced travel and improved care, resulting in a better experience.

“The increased expertise that we can now access enables our clients to remain at Hospice Renfrew while receiving the best care possible,” says Diane Caughey, executive director of Hospice Renfrew.

“Staying in their community, close to friends and family, is incredibly important at this time in their lives.”

When the Champlain Hospice Palliative Care Program – the regional authority – approached the OutCare Foundation about this project, OutCare recognized the great potential impact of Telelink.

“By connecting the palliative community, we knew that this project could play a powerful role in the quality of care available to those who need it,” explained chairman, John Bradley. “It just made sense for OutCare – the only charity raising funds for regional palliative care – to take on the challenge of making Telelink happen.” Thanks to generous donors and supporters this $380,000 project is expanding palliative care expertise throughout Eastern Ontario.

News - The OutCare Foundation is pleased to announce that telemedicine is now being used for palliative care throughout the Champlain region. Thanks to the success of its recent Telelink fundraising campaign, more patients with a terminal illness can access the care they need.

Telelink uses the latest technology to connect 12 palliative care sites to the Ontario Telemedicine Network’s (OTN) secure videoconferencing network. High definition video-conferencing equipment makes it possible to bring teams hundreds of kilometers apart together for meetings and distance education.

Used by over 1,600 healthcare sites across Ontario, this is the first time that hospices in our community are connecting to palliative care teams in acute care settings such as hospitals using this technology.

Nurses, doctors and others involved in palliative care can now discuss complex cases and conduct clinical consultations from a distance. They, along with their team of volunteers, can participate in up-to-date training on topics such as pain and symptom management, without the need to travel.

“Patients love it, particularly those who live far from Ottawa,” says Dr. José Pereira, head of Palliative Care at The Ottawa Hospital and Bruyère Continuing Care. “It saves them driving to those hospitals for follow-up appointments, waiting for a long time to see the doctor for a short visit and then driving back home. Now they can visit the hospice or hospital in their community and connect with the palliative care specialist team remotely.”

“The benefit of the latest research and access to specialist-level advice is often not accessible quickly across the region,” he adds. “Telelink will help to close the gap.”

For the over 6,000 patients served annually by these sites

Beware blacklegged tick

Community - Lyme disease is an infection caused by the corkscrew-shaped bacteria, Borrelia burgdorferi. In Ontario, these bacteria are spread by the bite of blacklegged ticks (formerly called deer ticks), Ixodes scapularis.

The blacklegged tick can be

found sporadically throughout the province. Ticks are closely related to spiders.

They are typically small when unfed, (1 to 5 mm in length), and all active stages feed on blood.

They cannot fly and they move quite slowly. Ticks usually come in contact with people or animals

by positioning themselves on tall grass and bushes. They may take several hours to find a suitable place on the host to attach to feed. Most tick bites are painless.

The majority of bites will not result in disease because most ticks are not infected with the agent of Lyme disease.

Lifestyle - We thought nothing of the three and a half mile trek to the Northcote School. There were others who walked much further. And if, for any reason, we had to make a stop at Briscoe’s General Store, that meant at least another mile, as we had to walk the Rink Road to get there, bypassing Plaunt’s road which was our usual way of getting to and from school.

When we got to the end of our long lane, and onto the Northcote Side Road, we would meet up with the Thom’s, our next-farm-over neighbours. And Velma and I, best friends, would hold hands all the way to the school. My three brothers wanted no part of we younger ones, and they would tear ahead of us, leaving us behind, as if we had the plague!

It was a dirt road all the way, and by the time we got to school, even our socks were covered with dust, and our shoes looked like they had been through a war! I was in boys brown brogue laced shoes that had come in the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina, and I secretly prayed that the hateful shoes would fall apart one day, and I could wear my Sunday-go-to-church shoes, which were just marginally better than the boys’ brogues.

This time of year, my three brothers, who every year Mother swore had grown a foot over the summer, had new running shoes to wear that first day back to school. They covered their ankles, and laced from the toes to the tops, and had thick black soles. If Mother didn’t order them from Eaton’s catalogue, they were bought in Renfrew where Mother bargained for the best price, paying the princely sum of .98 cents a pair. And the stores in Renfrew weren’t too happy about trading a couple chickens or fresh eggs like Mr. Briscoe did at the General Store in Northcote.

The boys were well warned to be careful with the running shoes, because they would be the only ones they would be getting. Even if they

fell apart, Mother warned! “No scuffing along the side road,” she would bellow, as we all headed out the lane that first day back to school. If some misfortune happened to the running shoes, the brothers would have to resort to wearing their gum-rubbers, which made their feet sweat. If enough boys were in their gum-rubbers all at the same time at school, the whole place smelled to high heaven, causing Miss Crosby to fling the windows wide even on the coldest Fall days!

And so it was, that first day back to the Northcote School, the three brothers in their new running shoes which they weren’t allowed to put on their feet until that morning, me in my boys brogues that had been shined with bacon fat, and our lunches in clean brown paper bags, we headed off.

At the end of the lane, Velma waited for me. The Thoms boys and my three brothers raced off down the dirt road. Boys never carried their lunch bags openly. They tucked them inside the front of their shirts, which did nothing to keep the sandwiches in one piece. We girls put our lunches in our book bags, in with our new scribblers, and whatever books Mother had to buy at the drug store. And always we girls carried a freshly laundered handkerchief, neatly folded, tucked in our book bag as well. If Kleenex had been invented back then, we certainly didn’t know about it!

Mother always tried to have my sister Audrey and I wearing something new for that first day back to school.

Not store-bought of course.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll put a smile on your face from the satisfaction of living beyond the edge of the ravages of a disease that will be cured â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hopefully in the near future!!â&#x20AC;?

News - Weeks before the 2013 Renfrew SuperWalk, Scott Edwards and his daughter Lindsay had already raised nearly $4,000.

Lindsay and her father are a Renfrew SuperWalk team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We decided to do it together last year and were both amazed by the support we got,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our friends and family are incredible. No one hesitated when we brought up the idea of sponsoring us and I am so grateful to all of them.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;With last year being the first Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Walk in Renfrew, Lindsay and I decided it would be nice to not only participate but to take my Dad with us,â&#x20AC;? says Scott. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We pushed him in his wheelchair for the inaugural walk. Unfortunately, he passed away three months later from Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, but we promised ourselves to continue participating each year in his memory.â&#x20AC;?

Scott, who owns a medical supply business, sees firsthand the effects of Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have listened to many stories from customers about the difficulties dealing with a family member that has this disease. It is a constant reminder to me about what my father dealt with on a daily basis, and a motivation to do what we can to raise the funds to hopefully find a cure â&#x20AC;Ś

As a paramedic for the County of Renfrew, Lindsay learned about Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in school â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;but there is nothing like seeing it first hand.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I now have an immense appreciation of what those with Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and their families have to go through,â&#x20AC;? she says.

Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is a progressive disorder of the central nervous system that may lead to tremors, rigidity, slowness of movement, gait disorder and a loss of balance.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edition of SuperWalk introduces two new SuperWalks in Brockville and Embrun, on top of the three established walks in Renfrew, Cornwall, and Ottawa.

Parkinson SuperWalks across the country are Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual national event to raise funds for research, for better treatments, and hopefully down the road, a cure.

Funds raised will also help with education and support services for people with Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and their caregivers and make an impact on the lives of over 100,000 Canadians living with Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hear every day how Poppa was such an amazing contributor and leader in this town,â&#x20AC;? says Lindsay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know, if he had the chance, he would be going above and beyond to raise as much money as possible so maybe other people would not have to go through what he went through.

OTTAWA RIVER CANOE BRIGADE PHOTOS

Paddlers work their way along the Madawaska River in one of the North canoes.

Paddlers work their way along the Madawaska River in one of the North canoes.

Another beautiful day for celebrating our rivers Cheryl Keetch Bonnechere River Watershed Project

Sports - Seventy-seven paddlers and their canoes and kayaks gathered on the Madawaska River Aug. 10 for a paddle organized by the Bonnechere River Watershed Project and McNab- Braeside Township.

After registering on-site, participants and watercrafts were shuttled

from the Burnstown Beach to Cherry Point Park. The 14-kilometre paddle was downstream along the majestic Madawaska River to the Burnstown Beach.

In addition to many kayaks and two-person canoes, the highlight for some lucky participants was the opportunity to paddle in one of three six-person North canoes supplied by the Ottawa River Canoe Brigade,

the paddling arm of the Ottawa River Heritage Designation Committee.

The North canoes were sterned by expert paddlers, Ottawa River Canoe Brigade owner-operator Larry Graham, McNab-Braeside recreation director Geoff Paterson and Randy Preshett of Ottawa.

Paddlers of all skill levels came from various parts of the Ottawa Valley, including Pembroke, Kil-

laloe, Burnstown, Arnprior, Calabogie, Renfrew, Foymount, Ottawa and even one participant from New Brunswick.

Everyone delighted in the beauty and splendour of this section of the Madawaska and its wildlife and natural features as well as the many shoreline residents who were enjoying an afternoon on the water.

After the paddle, many of the pad-

dlers partook in a BBQ at Neat Coffee Shop in Burnstown. This was followed by a performance of songs in the Neat Schoolhouse by Terry McLeish and the Bonnechere River Watershed Project and Stone Fence Theatre co-production of Bonnechere River – Future Tense, an innovative and original musical comedy that depicts the past, present and possible futures for our watersheds.

Bishop gears up for Francophone Games Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Sports -The late-August or early-September track and field meet in Rieti, Italy is legendary. It’s where several world records have fallen, including the men’s 800-metre mark of 1:41.01 in 2010 by 2012 Olympic champion David Rudisha of Kenya.

And now Melissa Bishop of Eganville is headed there, part of the women’s 800-metre field, as a tune-up for the Francophone Games in Nice, France the same week.

She’ll compete Sunday, Sept. 8 in Rieti, where such superstars as Asafa Powell, Noureddine Morceli, Steve Ovett, Michael Johnson, Gail Devers and Heike Dreschler have left their mark over the years.

Bishop, 25, is back in Windsor, Ont., training in prepara-

tion for her last two meets of the year, after being eliminated in the opening round at August’s world track and field championships in Moscow.

She ran a better tactical race, over 800 metres, than she did at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. But the verdict was the same — no advancement to the second round.

However, Bishop is making progress.

She was more competitive in Moscow, where she finished a respectable sixth, within striking distance of qualifying for the semi-final round. And she has run under two minutes in two successive seasons, while improving her personal best time to 1 minute 59.76 seconds. Only four Canadian women have broken the twominute barrier.

“I want to do well, I’m really fit,” says Bishop of the opening-round heats of the

The Young Guns championship comes in the team’s second year.

The setback for Pitt’s marked the frustrating end for a second consecutive season.

They were topped by Barker’s Collision Centre in last year’s Ma-Te-Way final, also in three games.

Wolves host preseason contest Sunday Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - The Renfrew Timberwolves have one preseason game under their belt, an encounter versus the Pontiac Juniors this past Tuesday night.

But coach Kip Mulvihill and assistants Mike Bredlaw and Danby Suckow and general manager Brent Sylvester will have two more opportunities to view talent before finalizing their season-opening roster when the Wolves take on the Almonte Thunder in a preseason home-and-home set

this weekend.

Included is a game against the Thunder at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre Sunday at 7:30 p.m.

Mulvihill and company had the unenviable task of making six cuts following an intrasquad game Thursday night.

The game featured a pretty good scrap as hopefuls Nicholas Gill and Jake White got it going late in the third period.

The closely-contested exhibition finished up 3-2 for the Blue team.

Coach Mulvihill is pleased with the effort, and what he has seen in

“It’s been a competitive training camp,” he said.

“Some hidden talent has come out.

We are looking forward to playing some exhibition games.”

REGULAR SEASON

Sports - The ladies at the Whitetail Golf Club held their Golf Fore the Cure tournament Aug. 14. About 40 ladies played for the cause.

The event raised more than $3,700.

The winning team was Lorraine Coulter, Lea Walsh, Danette Olsheskie and Christine Hudder.

The Investors Group package went to Lea Walsh.

There was a Beat the Pro hole and the winner was Leeann Dawson.

Closest to the pin on No. 1 was Joann Crane, who also took closest to the pink line on No. 4.

The winner on No. 2 for closest to the bra was Cindy Romain.

Bernadette Culhane won the 5050- draw.

The Wolves will open regular-season play in Perth Friday, Sept. 13 as they and the Blue Wings renew their long-time rivalry at the Perth Community Centre.

On Saturday, Sept. 14 at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior, five regulars-season games featuring Valley versus Metro Division teams will be played.

Included is a 5 p.m. encounter when the Wolves take on the Ottawa West Golden Knights.

This will be designated as a Renfrew home game.

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

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

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

The official 2013-14 home opener is slated for Sunday, Sept. 22.

The defending Valley Division champion Wolves will take on the Almonte Thunder.

Game time is 7:30 p.m.

Sports - It is hard to believe that another curling season will soon be here and the yearly hunt for curling clothing and equipment begins.

New gripper and slider is still on the repair list and my training program has yet to get off the couch.

Although with my training guru, Alexei Kovalev, now banished to the frozen wastes of Siberia, I will need to ďŹ nd a new source of inspiration â&#x20AC;&#x201C; maybe John Daly.

For most curlers summer is a time away from the club and any thoughts of curling, but for a small band of dedicated board members and their helpers, summer has been quite busy.

The result is an exciting curling season ahead, along with a well-run curling club. More information will be coming in future articles.

However, ďŹ rst on the docket is the most important night of our curling season.

Friday, Sept. 13 will be registration and a social night from 7 to 9 p.m.

This is the time for club members to register for the upcoming season as well as for people new to the sport to get the information

they need to begin or restart a fun way to pass the colder months. It is from this registration that teams and leagues are set up and other decisions about the season are made.

The life blood of any curling club is its members and without new members a club cannot continue to grow. So, we urge current members to invite people they know to join them in a pastime they love. For new members, a number of supports are in place to ensure a positive experience.

This year the club will be offering a learn-to-curl program Sunday afternoons at the start of the season to help new and nearly new curlers to learn the game quickly and without any added pressure of playing in leagues with established curlers.

All equipment will be provided and experienced instructors will help the beginning curlers learn the basics at minimal cost which can then be applied to registration costs.

Also clinics will be available at the start of the season and throughout the year at no cost.

Curling is a great sport for young or old and it is offered at a reasonable cost with options to meet everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs in a friendly atmosphere.

By CNR there come about 20 every school morning; these taking the train at Admaston, Douglas, Caldwell, Eganville and Golden Lake. These will be affected should one of the CNR passenger trains be withdrawn, a move not definitely decided upon as yet.

NEW RAILWAY CROSSING FOR HORTON STREET: The maintenance-of-way-men of the CNR are busy putting in a new crossing on Horton Street. It appears, from the explanation given by Joseph Skebo, foreman on the job, that frost heaves the rails and planks in the centre of the crossing by nearly six inches, and although Supervisor Dennison of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s department of works has from time to time tried to adjust the paved approaches, it is impossible to keep up with the tricks of winter frosts.

By Saturday, it is expected a better crossing will be ready. The clay will be removed and ballast put in then new slanting and rails. Traffic over the crossing is increasing yearly and everyone who passes that way will be grateful that the CNR is to do a good job this time.

Community - Summer is almost over and with that comes the final week of the McDougall Mill Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season.

We would like to thank all of our visitors this summer for helping to make this year a success!

This year we worked on making the museum a more interactive environment for all of our visitors, young and old. This year we introduced our Passport Activity Program, which allowed our younger patrons the chance to relive pioneer life by completing different stations and tasks.

We also had many events this year, including Kids Week, Seniors Week, our Ghost Walk and new for this year our Old Time Dairy Farm Exhibition.

We would like to sincerely thank all of those who supported us throughout the season, in particular, to M&R Feeds of Renfrew, Pinerille

Farms, DonDen Farms, The Renfrew Mercury and Valley Heritage Radio Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Home Support Show for all of your help. We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have done it without you!

Group tours are available by appointment after starting now and continuing through the fall.

Make sure to keep an eye out for coming events next summer and see you in the New Year!

WILLIAM RINGSLEBEN MINING COMPANION KILLED: The despatches from Timmons in the Porcupine District last week tell the killing of two miners . Sad melancholy interest in one Renfrew family, that of Mr. Wm. Ringsleben whose son William had been the companion of one of the victims killed just recently.

An explosion on the Hollinger Reserve killed John Nolan, a drill runner, and Mike Teleske, a deck hand.

Teleske had just taken down a supply of dynamite and reached the heading where Nolan was working when the explosion took place. For most of the time since term college ended, William Ringsleben Jr. had been working with Nolan, and the family here have several photographs of Nolan and William at their work in different positions in the mine. Just recently William was given a different position and the green hand put as assistant to Nolan.

RENFREWITES WIN PRIZES AT TORONTO FAIR: Mr. Lewis Galbraith of Admaston won first prize in his division of the province for the best Sheaf of Spring Wheat shown at Toronto Fair. White Fife was the variety. In the dairy division, Mr. John Anderson of Renfrew Creamery, in a large class, won second prize for the 50 lbs. salted creamery butter; the first and third being won by Red Deer, Alta. and Calgary exhibitors.

Mr. Anderson also won second place in the 40 lbs. creamery exhibit.

learned at its last meeting.

The move was taken after council received the first advisory report on heritage buildings in Renfrew from the local advisory committee on heritage conservation. The five buildings are the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien Apartments built in 1909, the McDougall Mill Museum built in the 1850s, the library and the fire hall, the Airth house and the Gibbons house.

Other members of the committee included Harry Hinchley, who compiled sketches of each building with the help of Helen Jeletsky, the student hired for the summer to research heritage buildings on the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main street. Audrey Green, John Hilmer and John Grist are also on the committee. Marge Lindsay

HERITAGE

Mary Cook Continued from page 26

Something she would have made from a leftover from the hand-me-down box, or from a well-bleached pair of flour bags. Mother favoured making blouses. Simple blouses, with little round Peter Pan collars, and she would search through her sewing basket until she found pieces of rickrack braid which she would sew around the cuffs of the puffed sleeves and the round collar. Very clever, was my Mother, I thought back then.

Even though we had seen the neighbourhood children many times over the summer, at church picnics, ball games, and family get-togethers, on that first day back to school, it was as if we hadn’t laid eyes on them for years!

There would be the Briscoe twins, in identical dresses.

My little friend Joyce, always with something brand new that had probably come out of Walker Stores in Renfrew, and of course, bad Marguirite would have had a new perma-

Connected to your community

nent wave in her drug-store bleached Shirley Temple curls, and she would be in shiny black patent leather Mary Jane shoes, and little white socks with lace around the tops.

And there would be our same teacher ... Miss Crosby ... in the same dress she had worn on the last day of school two months before. And she would still smell of lilac talcum powder, and her black laced shoes would be so shiny, you could see your face in them.

That first day of school we were allowed to go home midafternoon. Instead of calling a recess, Miss Crosby would announce that school was over and we’d head back out to the road that went by the school, and that day we would take the long way home. Down the Rink Road and over to Briscoe’s General Store. Because that day, and that day only, we would all have been given a nickel. Audrey’s and mine tied in the corner of our hankies, and the brothers rattling around in their overall pockets with the usual collection of sling-shots, pieces of string,

a couple of nails, and their dime-store jack-knives.

It would be like a small invasion, as en mass we crowded into the store and headed right for the candy counter. The boys of the Northcote School would forgo the little brown paper bag, and instead cram their nickel’s worth of candy deep into their overall pockets.

Usually, they bought licorice pipes. We girls picked candies like discs, stuck to strips of white paper, with little words printed on them. And often Velma and I would buy one box of nickel cracker-jacks, and a nickel’s worth of peppermints and share them on the way home.

Once again, every day, the Northcote Road would lead us to and from the school. There would be no rides because of bad weather. It was a trek we were well used to. In good weather, and bad, like a washboard ribbon, parched dry when there was no rain, covered in ruts when there was, and icy and snow-covered when Winter came, the Northcote Road was as familiar to us as the backs of our hands.

The plowing match is not only a competition field for plowmen heading to the International Plowing Match (IPM), it is a community effort and a day of entertainment and celebration. Sponsorship by local and regional businesses, with their participation and sponsorship dollars, is instrumental in making the whole event an annual success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sponsors provide the core funds the RCPA needs and uses as we build up to create the coming autumnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s match,â&#x20AC;? the website added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Past sponsors have been very generous and we have

EDUCATION

Connected to your community

Abby Hall Jaguar Journal

Community - It feels like only two weeks ago school was ending and summer was starting, but here we are at the beginning of September!

However, I am looking forward to another great year at school, full of new opportunities.

Preparations for the 20132014 school year were in progress before the end of August.

The annual orientation barbecue was held last Thursday evening, attended by new Grade 8 and 9 students and their families.

It was a beautiful sunny evening to enjoy some hamburgers and learn about the upcoming year.

The executive members of Student Council 2013-2014 were elected back in June by

the student body.

The role of Prime Minister has been taken on by Taylor Dubeau, and the new Spirit Minister is Jake Sammon.

I will be continuing my role as Public Relations Minister.

Other positions will be appointed when the Student Council meets for the first time.

We are excited to welcome Molly Helferty as our Pastoral Minister and many new grade representatives to the Student Council as well.

Along with the start of the school year comes some reminders.

STUDENT ACTIVITY FEES

Students are encouraged to pay their student activity fees as soon as possible ($10 for Grade 8 students, $25 for students in Grades 9-12, $40 for

R0022290120_0905

Summer is gone, but looking forward to many new opportunities a family).

This fee gives you access to clubs, sports teams, other extra curricular activities and school events.

It can be paid outside the cafeteria during the first few weeks in September.

Also, it is important to hand in your completed school picture forms as soon as possible.

Pictures must be taken for your student card.

After lots of success last year, the media classes will be taking over the management of the school website, Facebook page, Twitter account, YouTube, and other social networking sites.

The media program has been able to maintain a strong online presence and will continue to do so.

You can find the school website at sjchsrenfrew.wordpress.com.

NATURE

Connected to your community

The fall migration is now underway across Renfrew County Many migrant birds will be returning from their summer nesting grounds during the weeks ahead.

Just what species and how many will return to our feeders is unpredictable because of the huge quantities of natural food available to them this year.

Fruit (buckthorn berries, haws, mountain ash berries, wild grapes, crab apples, choke cherries and pin cherries), keys (maple and ash), cones (pine, spruce, cedar and balsam) and seeds of every type are in good supply.

It would be a good idea to put out your feeders with a small amount of seed to get the birds used to the location. It would not be wise to put out corn as it attracts large numbers redwinged blackbirds and grackles.

White throated sparrows, whitecrowned sparrows, tree sparrows, evening and pine grosbeaks, ducks, geese and mergansers, sandpipers and plovers have left their summer nesting grounds and will be arriving soon.

Rough-legged hawks, broadwinged hawks, red-shouldered

JIM FERGUSON Scene from the Hawk’s Eye hawks, red-tailed hawks bald eagles and golden eagles will be soaring on the west winds.

We are fortunate to have many flat, open fields where these birds of prey can hunt. A visit to the Barr Line, Queen’s Line, South McNaughton Road, Thompson Road and Old Highway 17 will result in some good sightings of birds of prey.

We should also be seeing some wanderers as well: great and cattle egrets, Tundra swans, red-throated loons, horned and pied-billed grebes.

An interesting thing about the wanderers is we never know what will arrive.

BIRDS OF PREY

Canadian Raptor Conservancy’s

remain for the winter. This species can brighten up a feeder station just by arriving.

The Hollywoods have noticed the absence of any northern harriers, a bird that hunted and nested in the fields near their home. The fate of these birds is not known but let us hope they return next year.

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: 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 12, 2 and 4 p.m. each day near the stock barns.

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

Tammie Bruder had a brief encounter with a hummingbird moth that was feeding in the flowers of her phlox plants and she managed to get several pictures of it. They do hum but not as loud as hummingbirds and are much slower in flight.

Watch for these interesting insects among any remaining flowers you may have. They do deserve and will get our attention when we are gardening.

CARDINALS

INJURED HERON

Barb Hollywood has had one male and two female cardinals coming to her feeders. She hopes that they will

Nathalie Warmerdam saw a great blue heron searching for food in a pond on their property near Cormac.

HUMMINGBIRD MOTH

The bird appeared to be injured and unable to fly but was still moving around. The following day the bird was gone. It may have flown away or was caught by a predator.

It is very difficult to help herons when they are injured. Any attempt to try and catch them often results in more injury. Their wings and legs are fragile and without these body parts they become the victims of many predators. They are also dangerous to handle. Their bill is sharp and they can reach a long way with it.

It is best to let nature direct the bird’s recovery.

ROOSTING SITE

If you know of a roosting site for crows or ravens would you please call us or send an email. These sites change from year to year and help finding them is always appreciated.

Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, RR 5, Renfrew, Ont., K7V 3Z8. Phone 613432-2738 or email jamesh@nrtco. net
