Phoney bank inspectors on the prowl A week after reporting that a Renfrew area resident was scammed out of $4,000 by a fake bank manager, the OPP has issued a news release saying it is receiving many reports of financial scams targeting seniors and other vulnerable people across the province. In one common scam, individuals claiming to be investigators from one of Canadaʼs chartered banks convince victims to withdraw funds for use as evidence to assist with a bogus theft investigation involving bank personnel, explain the OPP. After the money is withdrawn and handed to the phoney bank inspector, the victim is told to go home and wait for a call confirming the money has been re-deposited in their account. Unfortunately, that call never comes. OPP say that in several recent cases, seniors have complied and were subsequently defrauded of thousands of dollars. “Guard against becoming a victim before providing money or credit card information,” urge police. “Check with another family member or trusted friend to verify the information. “Remember, neither your financial institution nor a police investigator will ever ask you to withdraw money from your account or assist with an undercover investigation.” See SCAM, page 3

A beaming Melissa Bishop is welcomed home inside the Eganville arena after a Sunday parade in her honour. The tribute to the Eganville middle-distance runner, who competed at the Olympic Games in London last month, was the focus of video, financial, congratulatory and musical presentations inside the arena that afternoon. She is joined, after taking a seat in the audience, by her grandparents Orland and Tory Hawkins. For more photos, see pages 25 and 26.

Golden Sunday for Eganville Olympian Sherry Haaima sherry.haaima@metroland.com

It was the Ottawa Valleyʼs chance to show Melissa Bishop that, in the eyes of those who have followed her Olympic journey so far, she is already a winner. The University of Windsor gradʼs 800-metre run at the 2012 Olympics in London in August didnʼt advance past the first heat but she learned a lot from that one race, Bishop told the hundreds gathered at the community centre for ceremonies following a parade in her honour Sunday in Eganville. Itʼs been an incredible season for the 24-year-old, who became only the third Canadian woman to break the coveted two-minute barrier in the two-lap race.

She ran 1:59.82 en route to earning Olympic status. She and teammate Jessica Smith of North Vancouver both raced the 800 in London. Bishop was eliminated in the opening round, while Smith advanced to the second, or semi-final, round. The Olympian waved and greeted supporters along the parade route, perched atop a horse-drawn carriage that delivered her to the arena where she was honoured with tributes and speeches and she addressed the crowd and presentations were made. It was an opportunity for Bishop to offer thanks and share her story with supporters. “Iʼm very touched to know that my Olympic experience has been an opportunity for the community and surrounding

areas to come together,” she said. Bishop thanked the organizing committee, everyone who participated and supported fundraising events, and those who bought T-shirts and cheered her on in her Olympic efforts. “And of course, an even bigger thank you to everyone who woke up really early to come to the arena and watch my race,” said the Olympian, telling the crowd she is proud to be from Eganville and the Valley. “My experience is one thatʼs hard to describe. It was an emotional experience thinking my dreams were coming true. What Iʼd worked so hard for and made many sacrifices for had finally paid off.” See SPECIAL, page 25

2 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, September 6, 2012

john.carter@metroland.com

EMC news – Proposed changes to Canadaʟs federal ridings do not affect Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, but will mean a switch for Mississippi Mills residents if approved. The Ontario Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission, one of 10 set up across the country, has proposed 15 more electoral districts for Ontario, including one new Nepean riding in the Ottawa area. The changes will be the subject of public hearings this fall, including a twoday session in Ottawaʟs Hampton Inn and Conference Centre Nov. 5-6, both starting at 10 a.m. The proposed changes would see West Carleton split from Mississippi Mills with a Carleton-Kanata riding replacing the current Carleton-Mississippi Mills. The Pakenham and Almonte area would move back into a Lanark-based riding. The far-ung Lanark-FrontenacLennox and Addington riding would become Lanark-Hastings-Frontenac, gaining a large rural area stretching from Bancroft to Stirling (Hastings), but losing its southern extension into Napanee and Odessa (Lennox and Addington). There has been a move in Lanark to make the riding more manageable sizewise and bring Mississippi Mills back into the fold. The proposed increase in Ontario ridings from 106 to 121 is based on a rise in the provinceʟs population from 11.4 million in 2001 to almost 12.9 million in the 2011 census. The proposed new electoral districts would be located mostly in the Greater Toronto area with two additions each in Brampton, Durham, Markham and Toronto and one more in Mississauga, Oakville and York. The other four new ridings would be in Ottawa, Simcoe, Hamilton and Cambridge. As well, despite a slight population decline, the commission has maintained 10 electoral districts in Northern Ontario

Proposed changes to the Carleteon-Mississippi Mills province riding would have Carleton split from MississippiMills,and fall under a new Carleton-Kanata riding.

as a minimum for its effective representation. The province, which changed its ridings to coincide with the federal boundaries in the late 1990s, will have to decide whether to add ridings if the 15 new federal ones are approved, as expected. “Population shifts and increases, efforts to honour existing municipal boundaries whenever possible, and the establishment of 15 new electoral districts have required substantial adjustment to OntarioĘźs electoral map,â€? explained Jus-

tice George Valin, chair of the threemember commission. Douglas Colbourne and Leslie Pal are the other members of the commission responsible for readjusting the provinceĘźs federal electoral boundaries. Under the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act, the commissionĘźs main aim in redrawing boundaries is to divide the province into electoral districts as close to the average population as reasonably possible.

The WardenĘźs Golf Tournament usually takes place in early summer, but the eighth edition is taking place this week. A full ďŹ eld is expected for the 18-hole event tomorrow afternoon (Sept. 7) at the Roanoke Golf Club in Petawawa. This yearĘźs tourney proceeds go to the Bernadette McCann House, Community

Living, and Renfrew County food banks. Deep River Mayor David Thompson threw up a challenge at the Aug. 29 session of Renfrew County council. Thompson said the Deep River team was “gunningâ€? for SweetĘźs Petawawa squad, which includes Renfrew County Warden Bob Sweet. After agreeing to a $10 wager, Sweet said, “If you go 14-under, weĘźll go 15-under. For $10, IĘźll do anything (to win).â€?

The actual winner of the 2011 WardenĘźs Golf Tournament was Eastway Construction, but Warden Sweet was part of the winning team in 2010. The tournament is open to elected ofďŹ cials, lower-tier municipalities, Renfrew County employees and the general public. A golf cart, dinner and random prizes are part of the day, which costs $280 per foursome.

RENFREW COUNTY

Your Community Newspaper

County seeks CIIF funds for roads and signs Thereʼs not a lot of money in the federal Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund announced earlier this summer. But the County of Renfrew has made two applications to the new CIIF, including one application that features three separate road projects. That application even includes two projects that were recently completed, Bruce Street at the northeast edge of Renfrew and Drive-In Road in Laurentian Valley Township. Both projects were completed at a total cost of $370,200

for rehabilitation work and hardening of the roadway shoulders. The respective lengths of those projects were 2.5 and 1.5 kilometres. The other third of that priority application is a 2.5-km stretch of White Lake Road, or County Road 2, that will be done this fall, with or without CIIF support. The estimated total of the three projects is $1,230,000. The CIIF program stipulates that priority is given to projects for which municipalities request just one-third funding, but municipalities can request 50-50 funding. The county is seeking one-third of the estimated costs, or $409,600.

Renfrew County public works director David Darch acknowledges that Ontarioʼs portion of the program, which covers $49.6 million over two years, isnʼt a lot of money for the provinceʼs municipalities to access. But he stressed that thereʼs nothing to lose by applying. The countyʼs second application is for 50-50 funding of $56,000 in road signs. Some signs would be for trails, while the other two-thirds would be for road-information signs. With an estimated two signs every five kilometres, that would represent about 160 signs for the countyʼs 800-km. network of roads,

said Darch. The second application was made, according to operations committee notes, because “there is an increasing need to educate the public regarding share usage of our infrastructure facilities. Accordingly, it would be beneficial to erect Share the Road/Trail signage on our existing facilities.” County council unanimously passed the resolution at its Aug. 29 meeting. The resolution called for the warden and clerk to execute the two applications prior to the Aug. 24, 2012 deadline. Road work receiving CIIF dollars must be completed by the spring of 2014.

Land purchase unsuccessful on Flat Rapids, but ... Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

The Country of Renfrew has been unable to negotiate a property-acquisition settlement, which would have paved the way to widening and other reconstruction on a one-kilometre section of Flat Rapids Road. However, county council unanimously voted Aug. 29 to proceed with a modified contract for the one-km. section in McNab-Braeside Township. Work began last year on Flat Rapids Road, between Russett Drive and Mill Ridge Road. This fall, the first 300 metres near Watts Line will undergo reconstruction, while the next one-kilometre stretch will undergo a pulverize-and-pave program. Reconstruction of that section is not possible at this time because of the unsuccessful negotiations, says Dave Darch, the countyʼs public works director. “Despite several meetings and discus-

sions with one owner, staff was unable to acquire road-widening property from a key large tract of land,” states a Renfrew County operations committee summary report. “In addition, the utility companies were unable to secure the requirement easements for their utilities from this landowner. Without the property and the utility relocations, it is not possible to build the section of the road that was budgeted for this year as planned.” Clearly irritated by the lack of a negotiated settlement, Mayor Mary Campbell said sometimes the message needs to be sent that if “you donʼt play, we donʼt play.” Alluding to the countyʼs ability to expropriate the land, she added: “Then we can play hardball at a future date if itʼs required.” Meanwhile, Darch says the pulverizeand-pave work should accommodate Flat Rapids Road for 10 to 15 years. Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack said the

county will make a stronger move down the road. “Iʼm saying weʼll acquire that property,” he predicted. “We will expropriate that property, if we canʼt come to an agreement,” said an emphatic Stack, who chairs the operations committee. “We have had negotiations that have gone nowhere.” Another one-kilometre stretch of Flat Rapids, closer to Stewartville, will be the object of a redesign in 2013. Director Darch says Flat Rapids Road is a fairly busy road, but not high volume. But it has received more than its usual share of traffic during recent expansion work of Highway 417, for those seeking a shortcut to Burnstown or Calabogie. To ensure that work on 1.3 kilometres of Flat Rapids Roads is completed this fall, county council has voted for the road contracted to be delegated at the authority of Jim Hutton, the countyʼs chief administrative officer.

Bill 11 was passed in Queenʼs Park Aug. 28, but the very next day Renfrew County council was pushing for improvements to the bill. The billʼs a good thing for business, but could be even better, if recommendations from the county become part of the billʼs regulations. That could happen, since Hastings and Renfrew counties are among those lobbying for regulations that make more smaller businesses eligible for

Renfrew & Area Seniors Home Support to celebrate 25 years Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

PETER CLARK/METROLAND

Home Support penny drive raises $468.50 Renfrew and Area Seniors Home Support held a very successful penny drive in their office on Plaunt Street. People dropped off change to offer support to Seniors Home Support projects. The penny drive started in June and ran throughout the summer. When the final penny count was tabulated (there was some silver, also) the total amount raised was $468.50. Ready to haul off all the pennies to Home Support’s fundraising account at the TD Bank, are, from left, Seniors Home Support executive director Judy Ewart, Jennifer Lane and Kareen Rekowski of Seniors Home Support, and Ewart’s son Chad. Renfrew and Area Seniors Home Support has been serving seniors in the community for 25 years, and have celebrations planned for Saturday, Sept. 22.

Renfrew and Area Seniors Home Support first opened its doors in 1987. Twenty-five years later, they are making the lives of seniors in the community much more golden. Chris Cobus, a former executive director who remains at Seniors Home Support, in the community support capacity development role, said it got its beginning after surveys were done for the needs in the community by VON (Victorian Order of Nurses). “They determined there were many services identified to keep people living in their homes,” Cobus said. Footcare, friendly visiting, security checks home maintenance and transportation were services instituted to enhance the ability for seniors to remain at home. “Programs were developed throughout the (Renfrew) county to build up the home support concept.” “Edna Nighbor was the first president,” Cobus added. “Chris (Cobus) and Maureen MacDonald were here for 20 years,” current executive director Judy Ewart said.

“And Iʼm still here,” Cobus added with a chuckle. Carol Ann Simson has served as president the past eight years. “Weʼve expanded the programs to include frozen meals and grocery delivery. There is a steady increase in the use of the programs,” Ewart said. Footcare is no longer one of the Home Support services, but it is available in the area. A major program supplied by Seniors Home Support is the client intervention and assistance program which includes the community volunteer income tax program. It was originally funded through the Ministry of Community and Social Services. In 1990, it was switched over to the Ministry of Health. “We have about 80 volunteers that help deliver services and raise funds,” Ewart noted. “We had 762 clients last year (in Renfrew and surrounding areas.” Volunteers are always welcome, so call 613-432-7691. A part of the Senior Home Support budget is attained through fundraising. Proceeds from the Randy Foster concerts go to Home Support. The Bowes Brothers trips to town, and Christ-

mas and Easter luncheons are other fundraising events. “We have the radio show on Valley Heritage Radio. We work with other home supports to provide that,” Ewart said. “Weʼve been very fortunate with the community support weʼve received,” Ewart noted Home Supportʼs main sponsors, are gold supporters Ron and Marilyn Leclaire, and Aikenheadʼs Drug Store. Seniors Home Support services are eligible to people ages 60 and over, or those with disabilities. 25-YEAR CELEBRATION

Renfrew and Area Seniors Home Support will celebrate Saturday, Sept. 22 at the AFAC Wing with a hot buffet, live entertainment and fun casino (no money exchanged). A reception gets underway at 6:15 and dinner is served at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 and available at Aikenheadʼs Drug Store or the Home Support office located at 180 Plaunt St. S. You may also call 613-4327691. Tickets must be ordered by Sept. 18. See SPECIAL, Page 36

Rice, Campbell honoured with Diamond Jubilee Medals Two well-known and respected people in Renfrew Countyʼs farming community were honoured with a special award Aug. 27. Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant presented Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Medals to Lauretta Rice and Donna Campbell. The presentations took place at the Royal Canadian Legion Renfrew Branch 148 hall. Gallant gave background on both medal recipients. LAURETTA RICE

Lauretta was born on a farm in the hills of Wilno. Her family moved to a Douglas farm when she was 13. She started teaching in a Pine Valley one-room school house at age of 17. She drove and picked up students along the way. She began dairy farming with husband Michael Rice at the age of 23. They had a purebred Holstein herd. Michael died suddenly in 1985 after 23 years of marriage, leaving Lauretta, 45, with three kids She continued running the farm, hired and trained herdsmen, made financial and daily decisions, all the while sending kids off to school, cooking, keeping household running, paying what she could for schooling and working full time as treasurer of Bromley Township. Lauretta moved across the road and continues to assist today on the farm as well as assisting grandchildren with homework, teaching them to

bake, and helping them with their 4-H calves. She is very passionate about the family farm and the importance of the tradition continuing. Lauretta taught in Pine Valley, St. Thomas the Apostle and St. Francis Xavier schools in Renfrew and St. James in Eganville from 1956 to 1972. She farmed from 1962 until 1997. She was also assistant, and later clerk treasurer of Bromley Township until the amalgamation with Admaston Township. VOLUNTEER LIFE

Gallant also noted the following about Rice: • Member and secretary for National Farmersʼ Union for many years. Spends countless hours attending meetings with NFU, preparing newsletters and briefs with the president, sitting with displays at fairs, plowing matches, Expo 150, etc. Received Provincial Recognition Award for her dedication to the National Farmers Union in March, 2011. • Volunteered with Farm Comes To Town for several years in the Soil and Crop area. • Speaks and gives presentations to school children about agriculture and the family farm in Renfrew County. • Has been an active lifetime member of Catholic Womenʼs League in Douglas for years. • Lauretta is very proud of her Polish heritage and is active in and around Wilno, providing funding to set up the heritage home at Polish Heritage Society. • Lauretta is famous for her cooking. She donates bak-

ing to annual Douglas Community Fundraiser, sick and shut-ins. • Goes out of her way to donate to every local cause and attends many Valley activities. DONNA CAMPBELL

Donna Campbell and husband David Campbell reside on a family farm on Queenʼs Line in Renfrew County. They have four daughters and four grandchildren. Donnaʼs involvement in agriculture encompasses many worthy groups: She has spent many years with the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, and has been secretary/treasurer for Renfrew County Federation since December 1987. With the OFA, she has served a five-year term as a director on the county board. Two of those years were as regional director. Donna became secretary/ treasurer of the Renfrew County Agricultural Wall of Fame in 1995, established to honour men and women who have contributed greatly to the promotion of agriculture. She became secretary/treasurer to the Renfrew County Agricultural Advisory Leadership Committee, made up of representatives from Renfrew Countyʼs Soil & Crop, Dairy Producers, Pork Producers, 4-H, NFU, Christian Farmers and the Federation. In 1995 Donna was secretary/treasurer of the Economic Impact Study which was spearheaded by the Federation of the County along with other partners. She was co-chair of the agriculture committee in Expo 150 in June 2011.

Bonnechere Manor administrator Shayne Hoelke has lost three key employees to jobs outside the community. But heĘźs optimistic about the opportunities gained by the departed employees and their successors. “ItĘźs business as usual,â€? said Hoelke, who has recently ďŹ lled three key positions at the Renfrew long-term care facility.

“Sometimes people ďŹ nd other opportunities. As an administrator, IĘźm always encouraging people to work to their highest capability.â€? Cayla McNulty, the former part-time assistant food services supervisor for Miramichi Lodge in Pembroke and the manor, is now the full-time food services supervisor at Bonnechere Manor.

OPINION

Your Community Newspaper

EDITORIAL

Motorists must be mindful as students return to class Motorists must keep their eyes open for children waiting on street corners. Kids will be kids, which usually means they are in constant motion. We must always remember the first rule of defensive driving: expect the unexpected. Children tend to offer a lot of unexpected behaviour, which occasionally involves a mad dash across the street chasing a ball or friend waiting at a bus stop. Drivers would do well to drive a little more slowly the first few weeks of September. They might also want to reacquaint them-

While our politicians talk about putting students first with controversial legislation proposals, we can all do our part for young people when motorists begin seeing a lot of yellow starting this week. Fleets of school buses will flood our streets as children return to elementary and high schools. Most schools welcomed students back the day after Labour Day, Sept. 4, but the French public and Catholic boards opened a week earlier. The colour yellow in motoristʼs language always translates to one word: caution.

selves with the rules of driving when approaching a stopped school bus with its lights flashing. The flashing lights mean cars must come to a halt to allow children to board or unboard the bus. It also allows children and parents to safely cross the street. By law, traffic in both directions must stop anytime a school bus is stopped with its overhead alternating signal lights flashing. If the danger of hitting a child with your vehicle isnʼt reason enough, failing to stop for a school bus can result in a $400 to $2,000 fine

upon conviction and six demerit points given to a motoristʼs driverʼs licence. And thatʼs only for a first conviction. Each subsequent offence can result in fines ranging from $1,000 to $4,000, together with six demerit points and possible imprisonment up to six months. Staying alert while behind the wheel and being aware of the rules of the road governing school buses is everyoneʼs responsibility. Weʼre all winners if we educate ourselves about the rules of the road and school bus safety.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

We can, and must, afford the CBC To the editor: Re: Not being mindful of reality, The Mercury, Aug. 23, 2012 I had intended to respond to Ms Gallantʼs attack on the CBC but Mr. Parcheloʼs witty, if somewhat heavy handed letter, pre-empted me. However, Mr. Tuckʼs response to that letter moved me to join the debate. I have three observations I should like to make: Mr. Tuck calls Mr. Parcheloʼs letter “insulting to our MP and other residents.” If that is so then I suggest his referring to Parcheloʼs letter as “ the lowest form of wit.. .sarcastic, juvenile and tasteless pap” as insulting to Parchelo and those residents, including me, who agree with him. Come now, Mr. Tuck, democracy demands that conflicting opinions be aired and expressed forcefully. Our rather anaemic democracy needs a great deal more vigorously and publicly defended positions. Mr. Tuck suggests seriously cutting back the CBC to “Radio 2” (which he personally enjoys) “a bit of news and programs and.. .the infrastructure for emergency broadcast.” I agree with him to some extent but I would go further. I do not know what he means by “a bit of news and programs.” We need a much better news service than the CBC presently supplies with its emphasis on accidents and violent crime. That sort of thing is supplied in excess by “the ga-zillions of sources of news....” who rely on advertising revenue and serve the interests of the corporate elites. Good solid news requires in depth reporting by investigative journalists at home and a phalanx of foreign correspondence abroad. CBC used to do that and it didnʼt cost the earth but corporate interests wonʼt pay for it so there has to be public funding. The CBC had a mandate “to explain Canadians to themselves,” which they have increasingly failed to do. This diverse and fragile federation is desperately in need of that but donʼt ask corporations with no loyalty to Canada to do it for us, again, public funding.

Now we come to Mr. Tuckʼs assertion that, “Millions of Canadians are waking up to the reality that we can no longer afford such extravagance....” I suggest we can, and must, afford them and that those “millions of Canadians” are being brainwashed by the one per cent who want to cut their taxes even more. What we can afford will be determined by how we organize our economy and the manner in which we distribute the wealth that economy produces. My third point deals not with the CBC but with Ms. Gallantʼs intervention. Before the Conservatives formed a government, Gallant was free to “gallop off in all directions.” However, once the Conservatives were in power, Gallant was reigned in by that notorious control freak Stephen Harper and his PMO. She was left one hobby horse to ride – the long gun registry which Harper kept in place by pretending that he could not get rid of it because he had a minority government. This, of course, was nonsense – the opposition were so distracted by internal problems that they dared not risk an election. Harper could have carried a bill to abolish the gun registry in the first week of his first government. The Liberals would have abstained or seen to it that sufficient of their members developed “division bell flu” to allow the bill to pass as they did.with many more important pieces of legislation that they could not support but dared not defeat. Harper preferred to leave the registry in place as a stick to beat the Liberals and to give back benchers like Gallant a talking point. Once they had a majority they could no longer avoid eliminating the registry. Ms Gallant had lost a much loved hobby horse. Enter the CBC. Harperʼs ideological hatred of it meant that she, muffled by the PMO in most areas, could vent her spleen against it. Hence her partisan and imbalanced attack on a once excellent and admired institution, savaged by successive governments, both Liberal and Conservative. Brian Shackleton Admaston Township

West Carleton news editor takes professional leap Proposed Theresa Fritz Theresa.fritz@metroland.com

New managing editor for Renfrew Mercury and area newspapers

EMC news – When opportunity comes knocking, you better open the door or get out of the way. Those are words I have tried to live by most of my life. Look for opportunities and make the most of them when they come along because they donʼt come along all that often. Well, an incredible opportunity has come my way and I am excited, even if it means leaving regular reporting duties for awhile. Well, 365 days to be exact. Metroland Mediaʼs East Division, which includes all the Ottawa newspapers as well as the papers in Arnprior and Renfrew, is headed up by managing editor Patricia Lonergan (whose parents live in Horton Township). LONGERGAN PURSUING MASTER’S DEGREE

As of Sept, 4, she begins a year-long sabbatical from her post to pursue her Masterʼs of Journalism at Carleton University. When the search began for someone to fill her shoes, I applied and was chosen to replace her. The professional opportunity before me cannot be overstated. I have been a working journalist since I graduated from Carleton University with my journalism degree in 1989. My work has largely been in community newspapers and I am passionate about the role these newspapers play in the communities they serve. There is something to be said for putting your integrity face to face with your readers in a way my counterparts at dailies donʼt have to. I like getting feedback, positive and negative, and working to present the stories that matter most. Honesty and in-

Theresa Friz

tegrity are important words in my vocabulary. Having called West Carleton “home” professionally since August 2005 when the EMC started its newspaper here, I was fortunate to be able to continue in my role as news editor for the newspaper when the EMC and Metroland Media merged last October.

For the past seven years, residents of West Carleton have welcomed me and the West Carleton Review newspaper into their homes and that is not something I take lightly. I have also enjoyed working weekends because it allowed me to cover events in and around Renfrew. So, the decision to leave a job I clearly love was not an easy one to make. But it is not often that one gets the chance to take on a challenge like this knowing the job they love will be waiting for them a year from now. With my husband supporting my career completely, and my young son loving me even when I have to work nights and weekends, I have taken a leap of faith in a new direction. I eagerly look forward to helping guide all of Metrolandʼs Ottawa and area papers over the next year and using my skills in new and different ways. There are many skilled writers and editors who make up our East division, some of whom I know and others I hope to get to know better over the next year. But, we all have the same goal – serving our communities to the best of our abilities with strong local and relevant content. The editorial staff at the Renfrew Mercury EMC is committed to telling stories that matter to all of you who call communities in the Renfrew area their home. In the coming weeks and months, the newspaper will continue to do just that. If you need to get a hold of me, I can be reached by email at theresa.fritz@metroland.com. For your regular news or coverage inquiries, contact Mercury news editor Lucy Hass at 613-4323655 or by email at lucy.hass@metroland.com.

When sending a letter to the editor, please include your name, address and phone number. This way, the editorial department can verify a letter’s content and sender. Letters should be emailed to lucy.hass@metroland.com

1912: Renfrew Fair early entries; 1937: Donkey baseball night SEPTEMBER 6, 1912

ENTRIES FOR FAIR: Entries are reaching the secretary for exhibits at the fair earlier than ever before. This is as it should be. It gives everyone a better chance. You are going to show at this yearĘźs fair, are you not? Go over the list of everything you think of showing, make up your list and hand it in to the secretary. If later, you ďŹ nd you cannot bring everything you have entered, why no great harm has been done. A few tickets may be useless. ThatĘźs all. And the secretary would rather waste a little time on this than be rushed at the last moment. SEPTEMBER 2, 1937

DONKEY BASEBALLĘźS SECOND NIGHT: On the second night of donkey baseball, there was again a large attendance and Renfrew Rotarians have no regrets for having made the contact and the contract. The weather on Thursday evening, as on the one preceding,

OLGA LEWIS FROM THE OLD FILES was ideal. The program was the same on the second night as on the ďŹ rst, though there was a change in the personnel of the performance. Rotarians themselves entered into the sport, and all were duly thrown. It is reported that one of them carried carrots along to bribe a donkey. The donkey accepted the bribe, but the carrots apparently served only to cause that particular animal to become more frisky than ever. CHINESE IN CANADA REMEMBER HOMELAND: Joseph, one of the two Chinese citizens who for several years have operated a restaurant on Raglan Street, Renfrew, has just returned from a visit to compatriots in Smiths Falls, Carleton Place, Almonte, Arnprior, Eganville, Pembroke, Cobden, Killaloe and BarryĘźs

Bay, in all of which places he received liberal subscription toward the Chinese national fund, to be used in the war against Japan. Subscriptions received at the points mentioned, along with cash donated in Renfrew, make a fund of $3,000. Joseph states that his countrymen are eager to subscribe and that even children have pressed subscriptions upon him. SEPTEMBER 7, 1977

LOCAL MUSICIAN WINS AT CNE: A Renfrew girl has the honor of bringing home two medals, a gold and a silver, won during a music competition at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto. Elizabeth English, 14, of 124 Renfrew Ave. E., placed ďŹ rst in the open piano competition and second in the 18 years and under piano competitions. The competition lasted for two weeks – for all types of music and musical instruments. Elizabeth played on Aug. 23, winning in both competitions she entered. Elizabeth said she was excited and

happy about both medals, but she was especially proud of the gold medal because she was competing with people between the ages of 18 and 30. MOVE THE SHOP ONLY: PowellĘźs Auto Service Ltd. of Renfrew will locate a separate division with expanded services in a mine industrial park sitting near Metalpro Ltd., at the eastern edge of town. The move does not mean PowellĘźs will move its wholesale parts business to the park, as we suggested last week. A separate division will open up with 4,500 square feet for a new machine shop, updated equipment and some new equipment for the shop. Custom and high performance work also will be offered at the new shop. “WeĘźll be the most modern shop between Montreal and North Bay,â€? Ned Rafuse of PowellĘźs said last Tuesday. The assistance of an Eastern Ontario Development Corporation business incentive loan of $91,000 is for new shop and equipment. Olga Lewis is available to help with research.

Considering a career in agriculture? If so, focus on marketing and management skills, says FCC survey High school students considering a career in agriculture in the next five years should focus on acquiring marketing, management and other business skills according to a new cross-Canada survey conducted by Farm Credit Canada (FCC) and Agriculture in the Classroom Canada. About 2,000 FCC members – producers and agribusiness owners across Canada – were asked in April 2012 to list the skills they believe young people need to be successful in agriculture. In addition to marketing, management and business skills, respondents also identified knowledge, understanding of agriculture, and technology as priorities for young people who want to work in the industry. Producers are now enjoying high prices, which may represent a short-term spike. The long-term economic outlook, however, looks positive for well-educated, young people ven-

turing into the industry. World farm commodity prices are expected to remain high over the next decade, fueled by high demand and from rapid income growth in developing countries, according to a recent report by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and the United Nations food agency. “Given that one in eight jobs in Canada are in the agri-food industry, there are a lot of opportunities for young people,” says FCC president and CEO Greg Stewart. “As the industry grows in complexity, so does the need for great business acumen.” FCC is working with Agriculture in the Classroom Canada, a national group focused on promoting agriculture education and awareness in schools across Canada.For details, visit www.aitc.ca.

Watching and trying to understand the Bonnechere River in a drought year Cheryl Keetch Bonnechere River Watershed Project

Bonnechere River watershed residents gathered at the Bonnechere Union Public Library in Eganville Aug. 27 to hear a report by Will Millar, a federal Canada Summer Jobs intern with the RiverWatch program of the Bonnechere River Watershed Project. The Renfrew native is an aquatic resources and public policy student at St. Francis Xavier University. Millar began the presentation by outlining the Bonnechere River Management Plan and the current water uses for hydro electricity production, drinking water, disposal of municipal wastewater, irrigation, recreation and tourism.

Next was an overview of how the levels and flows of the Bonnechere River are managed, who the managers are, and what legislation is in place that directs and contributes to the management. Millar listed three major players in the process: the Ontario Energy Board, whose research informs the Ontario government; the Independent Market Operators, namely the power generation companies; and the Standing Advisory Committee, the publicʼs voice consisting of a cross section of Bonnechere River watershed residents. DIFFERENT TYPES

Millar spoke on the different types of drought, the side effects of drought, the stages of effective drought manage-

ment, and how climate change is requiring modified approaches to managing levels and flows in order to maintain healthy river ecosystems and adequate power generation. Several pieces of legislation were discussed as past and potential avenues for managing conditions, including the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act and the Ontario Low Water Response Plan. Sustainable water management that integrates watershed management, and sustainable community-based resource management solutions were offered as potential changes that could improve water management for the future. Millar plans to use his research for his B.A. honours thesis, when he returns for his final year at St. Francis Xavier University in September.

A few years ago, Three Wild Women business owner Helen Aikenhead struck up a friendship with Lake Clear artist Horst Maria Guilhauman and his wife, Nancy. Fast forward to 2012 and theyʼre joining forces with Jean Brown, formerly of Ryanʼs Fashions in Pembroke and owner of Taylor Ann Designs, to host a special fashion and art show Sept. 16. The event will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. at Guilhaumanʼs HMG Studio-Gallery on Lake Clear, just outside Eganville. A portion of the eventʼs proceeds will go to Hospice Renfrew, where the artistʼs late wife, Ly Avelin MunkGuilhauman, was a patient. “Palliative care at the Hospice Renfrew is aimed at relieving suffering for someone whose disease no longer responds to treatment aimed at cure,” said the artist. “Palliative care at Hospice Renfrew, and this is an important aspect, seeks to meet the needs of not only the ill patient, but also of his or her family.”

German Expressionism before evolving into their present-day form of realism. For more on his art and the show, visit www.insigniaart.ca

LOST & FOUND Though you’re no longer with me, Everyday I find, In one way or another, You’re back there in my mind. I might hear a piece of music, And at once my mind is stirred, Back to a treasured moment, The two of us have shared, I never try to stop them, I let them just flow through, It’s just my way of spending time, Once again with you.

POWELL THOMAS

We took our vows together Said, “Till death do us part”, But when God came and took your hand My whole world fell apart. No one knows the heartache I try so hard to hide, Only God knows how many times I’ve broken down and cried. When I look back upon our lives One of the things that makes me glad, That you chose me to share with you The precious years we had. Forever Loved Bev CL373976

POWELL THOMAS We little knew that morning God was going to call your name, In Life we loved you dearly In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you You did not go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories Your love is still our guide, And although we cannot see you You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one The chain will link again. In loving memory of our father (Tom) who passed September 9, 2011

Special day for Olympian Continued from front npage

She recounted her experience, including the opening cerimonies. “Right before we walked in I tried to take a moment to realize what I had done – Iʼm an Olympian,” said Bishop. Her experience included meeting great people, such as Canadian Olympic medallists Ian Millar and Mark Tewkesbury. Bishop admitted the days following the race were hard. Going in, she said she was prepared and knew what to expect. “The race was tactical, I wasnʼt patient enough coming off that corner and I panicked a little,” said Melissa. “Unfortunately my legs werenʼt there in the end.” She said she learned so much from just this one race, knowledge she will take forward as she continues to compete and train towards the 2016 Olympics. Emcee Gerald Tracey joined others in feting Bishop and her

efforts and accomplishments in a running career that began years ago when she was a student at Opeongo High School. “Then along came 2012 and in a brief few months the name Melissa suddenly became a household name in the Eganville area and then quickly a household name across Renfrew County and gradually a name recognizable in the Ottawa Valley and far beyond,” said Tracey. “Melissa you have brought honour to us, to our community.” Among the officials on hand to pay tribute were Bonnechere Valley Mayor Jennifer Murphy, North Algona Wilberforce Mayor Harold Weckworth, and Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski. Among the presentations made and gifts offered were a cheque for $7,913.60, proceeds from Team Melissa T-shirt sales, and a charm bracelet with a key charm, in place of a traditional key to the city presentation.

Eganville and area residents turned out in force to celebrate Melissa Bishop’s Olympic efforts. Among those decked out in red are Joanne Hoelke, Moon Power, Parker Pilon, Emma Pilon, LeeAnn Dawson, Kelly Power, Terry Hoelke and Jennifer Power. 2012 Olympian Melissa Bishop of Eganville is accompanied by horsedrawn carriage driver Tom Redmond during Sunday’s parade held in her honour. At left, they cross the Bonnechere River bridge, while she shows her Canadian colours in more ways than one, with her Canada shirt and wave of the Canadian flag. She was joined, in the carriage, by her parents Doug and Alison and brother Jonathan. SHERRY HAAIMA/ METROLAND

Lots of emotion for and from the Olympian Last Sundayʼs parade through downtown Eganville came packed with emotion, heart and soul. There were 60 vehicles, the Renfrew Highland Pipes and Drums, several fire trucks, a hillbilly truck, special banners, a solo trumpeter, and a sea of red both in the parade and along the parade route, much of that red accounted for by those who bought the more than 1,800 Team Melissa T-shirts this season. Many of those shirts exclaimed, “Running Toward the Dream,” which is continuing for the 24-yearold Bishop. As the paradeʼs guest of

honour, she was seated up front with Cobden barber Tom Redmond, who held the reins for the carriage pulled by his Percherons, Dick and Abby. Seated below were the Olympianʼs family members, mom Alison, dad Doug and brother Jonathan. It was Melissaʼs day in the spotlight, something sheʼs experienced several times in the most dramatic season of her running career. First she made a Olympic B standard, which gave her hope for qualifying for the Olympics, but then a thirdplace time of 1:59.82 at the prestigious Prefontaine Classic in Eugene,

STEVE’S SIXTH SENSE Oregon, gave her the Olympic A standard. That ticket to the Olympics was then clinched when she placed second at the Olympic trials, helping to put her hometown of Eganville on the Olympic map. As several banners said that were carried along the parade route, hoisted by fans along the route, and on the more than 30 posters taped to the glass inside the Eganville arena,

WE RECYCLE Drop off in the store.

Eganville, more than 700 people crowded into the arena to watch that race. And many came back, with an estimated crowd of 600 on hand to welcome her home at the parade and during the ceremonies that followed inside the arena Sept. 2. After Sundayʼs parade, speeches, songs and presentations by local residents, and thank-yous from Melissaʼs parents and from the Olympian herself took about 90minutes before Melissa sat down for autographs and photo ops.

“Welcome home, Melissa.” It was 2012 Olympic middledistance runner Melissa Bishop of Eganville who was being welcomed home after living her Olympic dream of qualifying for the Olympics in the 800-metres, and competing in London in the two-lap race. She didnʼt get done what she wanted at the Games, namely a berth in the semi-final round. She was eliminated in the opening round, when unable to stay with the leaders in a highly tactical race that started very slowly and finished fast. That same Aug. 8 morning in

Melissa Bishop is caught up in a swell of support after her post-parade entrance into the Eganville arena.

Bishop: homecoming parade said sheĘźll be better prepared, now that she has the “invaluable experience for the next time IĘźm on this stage.â€? There were several emotionally-pitched moments in the post-parade ceremonies at the Eganville arena. These included introductory remarks by emcee Gerald Tracey, when he said Melissa has “brought honour to us, to our community,â€? and when Bonnechere Valley Mayor Jennifer Murphy presented the Olympian with a cheque for $7,913.60 for Team Melissa T-shirt sales. But one of the most wellreceived and emotional moments was how local MPP John Yakabuski said he relived what he, and probably many others, experienced the morning of Aug. 8, watching

Melissa race at the Olympics and thinking “ThatĘźs our girl!â€? Turning to point to the Riverside Dental banner for Melissa that hung above him, the MPP noted its words, “Go inspire a nation.â€? Agreeing with the sentence, but taking it farther, Yakabuski added: “I can tell you right here in this room, in this rink, out there in that parade, and across Renfrew County on August 8, you inspired at least four generations.â€? And so she will continue to inspire, as she pursues another dream, of becoming a twotime Olympian. As entertainer Dai Bassett sang in his song for her Sunday afternoon, “Go Melissa go, go Melissa go, a true Canadian golden girl, go Melissa

Just minutes earlier, Melissa told a crowd she was touched to know her Olympic experience has been an opportunity for Ottawa Valley residents to come together. Melissa, for at least the second time during SundayĘźs ceremony became teary eyed. Earlier, after coming down the centre aisle of the rink to the music of Chariots of Fire, tears rolled down her cheeks as she gave her grandmother, Tory Hawkins, a huge hug. Wearing a Canada shirt, she stepped to the microphone shortly before 4 p.m. to talk about her Olympic race, conversations with other Olympians and her plans to continue to train for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. For those Olympics, she

If you are preparing to tuck your golf clubs away for another year, why not keep them out for one more event. The inaugural Eady Memorial Golf Tournament to support the Renfrew Victoria Hospital dialysis unit is set for the Dragony Golf Links on Friday, Sept. 14. Lloyd and Shirley Eady are organizing the golf tournament that has a dual purpose – to honour Lloydʟs father, James H. Eady, and to support the dialysis unit at RVH. Lloydʟs dad passed away at age 51 in 1971 after suffering from kidney disease. Treatment required the removal of his kidneys and permanent dialysis. He was a patient at the Ottawa Civic

Hospital because the care he required wasnĘźt available locally then. The experience left the Eadys with an appreciation of the value of care close to home. “At the time, we had to drive back and forth to visit,â€? says Lloyd. “ItĘźs much less stressful on patients and their families when they can stay in the community for treatment. It was an easy decision to support the dialysis unit at RVH.â€? The call to lend support appears to be a family trait. Lloyd is also the nephew of Norm Eady who has been a long-time supporter of RVHĘźs dialysis unit through the Loyal Orange LodgeĘźs Bowl for Health and Fun tournament that he has helped organize for many years. The Eady Memorial starts at noon.

Registration at the Dragony Golf Links is at 11 a.m. Teams of four will play best ball. The day will also include a 50-50 draw, door prizes and closest to the pin competition. The entry fee is $80 per person for 18 holes, cart and barbecue. All proceeds raised will be donated to the RVH Dialysis Unit. “This is a great show of support for RVH,â€? said RVH Foundation director of development Barb Desilets. “We truly do appreciate the hard work and long hours that have gone into organizing the day.â€? For more information or to enter the tournament, please contact Lloyd or Shirley at 613-432-2530 or email shirleyann_ eady@sympatico.ca.

CBC Sports Day Sept. 29 at Ma-Te-Way Park CBC Sports Day in Canada celebrates the power of sports from grassroots to elite levels in communities across Canada. That includes right here in Renfrew at Ma-Te-Way Park. The Parks and Recreation Department is hosting CBC Sports Day on Saturday Sept. 29 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. WeĘźd like you to be part of the day. It has been proven time and time again that sport has the ability to bring people

together. Whether at a global, national or grassroots community level, sport is a universal language that is understood by all. It has the power to reduce crime, foster character and citizenship, introduce newcomers to their communities, stimulate the local economy, provide adult mentorship for young people and teach kids important life lessons. It can also be a whole lot of fun. Unfortunately, sport participation is on the decline in our country. Over half of Canadian adults are considered inactive and weĘźd like to change that here in Renfrew. We want to

celebrate the power of sport and facilitate healthy, active living. You can get your team, club or organization involved in Renfrewʟs event by setting up a display, providing a demonstration and showcasing your sport, activity or business. We will have a climbing wall set up for the event and skating available from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. If you would like to set up a tent, hold registration or provide information we would love to have you there – the more the merrier. If you need tables or chairs, let us know how many. If you

would like time set aside to showcase your event on stage, please let me know. All times are available on a ďŹ rst-come ďŹ rst-booked in basis and we can provide a sound system if needed. The sooner you can get back to me, the better to enable advertising to start at the beginning of September. There is no charge to you and no charge for any activities on Sports Day. We registered the event with CBC in July, have a Facebook page and twitter ready to go and now want you to join us. Call 613-432-3131, ext. 704 for more details.

Arnprior Golf Club captures third consecutive Gordon Cup peter.clark@metroland.com

For years, possession of the Gordon Cup for the Renfrew Golf Club was practically a rite. They won 17 times in a 21year span at one point, capped by an 88-stroke victory during the townĘźs 150th anniversary celebrations in 2008. Home cooking was good to the Renfrew lads that year. But sports often rolls in cycles, and things havenĘźt been as good for Renfrew in the ValleyĘźs most noted menĘźs golf tournament since. Yes, in 2009 and 2010, Renfrew was still knocking on the door. They lost a playoff to the host Pembroke Golf Club in Ęź09, and were second to Arnprior at Deep River in 2010. In 2011, Renfrew earned a third-place ďŹ nish behind Arnprior and the tournament host Mississippi Golf Club. But this year proved to be the toughest result for the local squad, possibly in the prestigious Gordon CupĘźs 83year history. The Arnprior Golf Club ran away from the rest of the pack. They owned a 41-stroke lead on its nearest competitor after SaturdayĘźs day one en route to a ďŹ nal 36-hole total of 1,812 (904-908) to claim Valley supremacy Sunday. Pembroke ďŹ nished second at 965-920-1,885, Mississippi third with a count of 947-947-

1,894, Deep River fourth at 945-964-1,909 and Renfrew in unfamiliar territory in ďŹ fth at 968-955-1,923. The top 12 of 14 scores on each of the two days make up a teamĘźs ďŹ nal total. ArnpriorĘźs top three individual scores were tops in the 70-man ďŹ eld, led by perhaps the ValleyĘźs best golfer right now. Allen McGeeĘźs four under par total of 71-67 for 138 included a sizzling 33 on SundayĘźs front nine, and a 34 each day on the back nine. 2008 Renfrew club champion Dwight Reinhardt and 21-year-old Taylor Collins shared scores of 72-69-141 to also complete the Gordon Cup under par for Arnprior. Renfrew scores were Jeff Russell 76-75-151, Mike Comeau 75-78-153, Tim Lemoyre 76-78-154, Rob Warren 81-78-159, Chris Bradley 80-80-160, Steve Mulvihill 78-83-161, Paul Wren 8379-162, Kip Mulvihill 83-80163, Pat Holmes 83-82-165, Matt Mann 85-81-166, Donald Carty 86-81-167, Hessel VanderVelde 84-86-170, Brian Hewitt 84-87-171, and Kevin Bossy 93-80-173. Warren, a 10-time Renfrew menĘźs club champ, was competing in his 42nd Gordon Cup tournament. It was the 36th for PembrokeĘźs Phil Hermitte, who led his team with rounds of 76-72 for a 148. MississippiĘźs Bowie Abbis Mills carded a 71-77-148 while Deep RiverĘźs Bryan

The team of Chris Durance and Andrew Durance emerged as the top anglers at this yearĘźs 21st annual Constant Lake Classic Bass Tournament Aug. 4. The winners combined to reel in ďŹ ve bass which totalled 16.70 pounds. The winning team is declared by the combined weight of ďŹ ve ďŹ sh. The popular event – organized by Tom Hyland of Dagenais Construction – is

headquartered annually at the Butler Cottage on Constant Lake. Gaye and Kathy Pirie brought in the biggest bass, which tipped the scales at 4.93 pounds. The 2012 classic drew 40 teams, and they enjoyed a ďŹ ne day weatherwise out on the lake. All competitors complied with federal and provincial boating and angling rules, and only large- and smallmouth bass were eligible to be weighed in. It was catch and release of all ďŹ sh.

Nathan Block made history this past weekend at Calabogie Motorsports Park. The 18-year-old Formula 1600 competitor from Beachburg qualified on the pole and won both Saturday’s and Sunday’s races. The two wins pushed Blok far enough ahead of the pack to secure the 2012 Formula Tour 1600 championship title. He is the first driver to win back-to-back championships in the Formula Tour 1600 series, and is also the youngest driver in Canada to win back-to-back titles.

Dropping from A to B ight was Pontiac, who won (or lost) a three-way coin ip with FinniganĘźs and Mid-Town Flooring. ScottĘźs Shoes and Swatters also slipped a ight. John Robertson, Justin Riopelle, Greg Bretzlaff and Sean Rousselle were closestto-the-pin winners. Robertson and Rob Warren won gift certiďŹ cates.

All that was missing was the crowdʼs chants of “U-S-S! U-S-S!” as USS Manufacturing closed out Deslaurier Custom Cabinets to capture the B crown Aug. 28. After dropping game three of the best-of-five series 13-

12 to Deslaurierʼs, USS hung on for a 16-13 victory in game four, and then won the fifthand-deciding game 10-8. Kevin Pennock homered in all three games to spark USS. Mike Vance added one round-tripper, and Dan Legault collected six hits over the three games. Jason English earned the pitching wins in the last two contests. Trevor Lacroix, Joel Kelly

and pitcher Paul Martin went deep for Deslaurierʼs. Crystal Allport added three hits and scored three runs in the Custom Cabinet victory. Deslaurierʼs scored 11 runs in the sixth inning of game four, but it wasnʼt quite enough to overcome a 16-2 deficit. - With files from Jeff Rekowski

Barkerʼs Collision Centre completed a grand playoff run to win its second Ma-Te-Way Mixed Slo Pitch League title in four years Aug. 27. The regular seasonʼs sixth seed cut no corners en route to the championship. They toppled three teams that finished ahead of them in the standings. Barkers ousted No. 3 seed Macʼs Milk, and the topranked and two-time defending league champion T. Williams Plumbing & Heating to reach the final. Ten days ago at the ball yards, Barkerʼs capped off a 9-and-4 playoff run with a doubleheader sweep of second place Pitt Contracting to win the best-of-five final series in four games. The first game (game three of the series) went to the wire before Barkerʼs prevailed 9-8. They won the title 90 minutes later with a 19-10 triumph. Stephane Lapensee hit a two-run homer in the first game, then slugged a pair of round-trippers in the nightcap. Lapensee finished with nine home runs in the playoffs. Barkerʼs pitcher Mike McMahon lofted a grand slam in the title-clinching victory. Ryan McIntyre had the lone homer in the doubleheader for Pitt Contracting. Corey Dougherty scored two runs for Pittʼs in the first

Timberwolves at home tonight and Sunday evening at the MAC Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Renfrew Timberwolves hopefuls have been scrimmaging and going through all the other on-ice rigors of training camp for almost three weeks. Tonight, they finally see someone else. The Stittsville Royals will be in town for Renfrewʼs first pre-season game at the MaTe-Way Activity Centre. The puck drops at 8 p.m. The Wolves also host the Almonte Thunder Sunday at

7:30 p.m. as they prepare for the 2012-13 Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League season which starts next weeks. They also travelled to Stittsville this past Tuesday, and are in Almonte Saturday at 8 p.m. These games will allow coach and general manager Brent Sylvester and his coaching staff of Lorenzo Comparelli, Jason Gould and Brent Gould a final opportunity to survey talent before it all starts for real. The Wolves make their official season debut on Friday,

UNUSUAL BLUE JAY

SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE

The Following Streets will be closed from Monday, September 10th to Friday, September 14th due to construction at the Hall/ Gillan Intersection.

vival are limited. We suggested to Velma that she make a few openings in the wire cage by widening some of the spaces between the wires or removing some wires. The openings should be large enough for the small birds to enter and too small for jays, hairy woodpeckers and squirrels to have access. A sunflower seed feeder should be suspended inside from the top of the cage. The cage itself should be hung from a sturdy support post or tree limb.

Hall Street closed from Mayhew Drive to Gillan Road Gillan Closed from O’Brien Road to Hall Avenue. A Detour will be in place and the roads will only be open to local traffic.

HOW FAST DO THEY FLY?

Birds travel great distances during migration and do so at consistent air speeds depending on the speed and direction of the wind. Radar can track the birds and we are able to get accurate air speeds. During migration barn swallows travel at 19 miles an hour and cover 171 miles per day; European starlings travel at 22 miles per hour and cover 210 miles per day; common crows travel at 31 miles per hour and cover 290 miles per day; mallards travel at 40 miles per hour and cover 350 miles per day; sandhill cranes fly at 40.8 miles an hour and cover 375 miles per day. Head winds will slow the speed and distance the birds travel and if strong enough, will cause the birds to go to ground until conditions improve. Tail winds will speed them on their way. Some of our smaller birds travel long distances to spend the winter. Barn Swallows travel to Argentina, a distance of over 4,000 miles, ruby-throated hummingbirds travel 2,000 miles to the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Many do not survive these long journeys which results in only two of every 10 birds born in Canada returning to breed in the spring. * * * Clarence Bos saw a red-tailed hawk this week. Northern harriers, rough-legged hawks, broad-winged hawks and red-shouldered hawks will soon be seen soaring high on the convection currents as they make their way south.

Susan and Jim McWade had an unusual blue jay arrive at their feeder. It appears to be an immature bird with a full measure of down feathers on the breast. The flight feathers appear to be fully developed as are the other body feathers. The head of the bird does not have any feathers at all except for a few feather shafts. Just what has caused the condition is unknown. It could be caused by attacks by other birds or an infestation of fleas or ticks. The bird has survived so far without the feathers. * * * Velma Durant found a bird cage when cleaning out her basement and wanted to make a cage to protect small birds, chickadees, nuthatches and goldfinches, while they were feeding. We have one and it has been very successful. The reason for such a feeder becomes apparent when your sunflower feeder has been emptied by jays and squirrels by 10 oʼclock in the morning and the small birds have had to do without. During the winter months when there are fewer daylight hours small birds cannot store enough heat energy to keep them warm until they can feed the following morning. If they have no food their chances of sur-

We received the following email from Doug and Peggy Fiebig of Petawawa. Hi Jim and Ila: We are located in Petawawa and noticed this unfamiliar bird in our backyard this past weekend. He was having a good feast of robin and let me get close enough to take its picture before he flew off. We are wondering exactly what kind of bird this is? Thanks for your time. Doug and Peggy Fiebig. Hi in Petawawa and thank you for your email. The bird you saw was a merlin, a member of the falcon family of birds. It is a small dark falcon in all plumages; heavier than a kestrel with thicker angular wings and direct flight that is usually low over vegetation. The merlin has dark underparts, indistinct sideburns, a white throat and a white eyebrow. Its prime food source is other birds which it catches in flight. Secondary food sources include insects, lizards and snakes. The merlin is a very agile flier with a variety of aerial maneuvers and calls. They are very aggressive with other birds in flight.

Sunflower gal

Olivia Reid, 7, finds a lofty perch beside this sunflower in her Grampa David Reid’s field. Because of this summer’s drought conditions, the Admaston-Bromley farmer says most of his sunflower plants are a foot shorter in length and with smaller heads than they were a year ago. A fine exception is this eight-foot specimen. “We had no rain, so we couldn’t activate the weed control for the sunflowers. I have one sunflower field that is just full of weeds.” This will be Reid’s worst sunflower-seed crop in about 10 years. The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, September 6, 2012 33

Fond memories of Father Harrington The following is submitted in memory of Father Alphonsus Harrington to commemorate the first anniversary of his death (Aug. 29, 2011). During his career, Father Harrington was the pastor at Our Lady of the Snows Church (Stonecliffe), St. James the Great (Portage-du-Fort), St. Anthony (Chalk River), Our Lady of Good Counsel (Deep River) and St. Alphonsus (Chapeau). By Sister Helen Smaggus

Alphonsus Timothy Harrington was an ordinary boy who became an extraordinary man and a committed, compassionate priest. He was born Aug. 16, 1925, the eldest son of Jim Harrington and Annie (Salmon). At 18 months of age, life dealt the ďŹ rst of three experiences which would have a lasting inuence on his life. One month after the birth of Jim and AnnieĘźs second son

(Tommy), Jim suffered a heart attack and died. With hired help, Annie worked the Harrington homestead farm. However, success was not to be. Fire destroyed the barn and all the stables. This catastrophe was too much for the little fatherless family to endure. This tragedy was the second experience to inuence the life of young Alphie. It led to a decision by concerned relatives to ďŹ nd a home for the young boys and give their mother Annie time for recuperation. Their uncle and aunt, Sam Coyne and Molly (Harrington), decided to open their home and hearts to the little boys. Sam came to visit the distraught mother. Alphie remembered him saying the simple words, “IĘźll take care of your boys, Annie.â€? And so it was decided. Alphie was the tender age of seven and Tommy not quite

six. Living with Uncle Sam and Aunt Molly in the rugged hills of Brudenell formed within him a gentle but strong character. One experience and relationship stood out in his mind as a genesis of who he was to become. NINE YEARS OLD

At nine years of age, one of his duties was to round up the cows for milking every morning and evening. His faithful companion was the dog Rex who accompanied him on these daily excursions through the ďŹ elds and rugged bushes. One afternoon he lost his way. With his dog Rex he wandered into the bushes. He became confused and frightened. Suddenly there was a disturbance in the bushes close by. Rex barked loudly. Whatever was there was startled. Alphie ran in a direction opposite to which he had been

going and Rex followed. Eventually they came to a clearing and then to a creek. He remembered being told “if you ever lose your way and ďŹ nd a creek, follow itâ€? and so they did. Darkness was descending as they stumbled through the bushes. After a time they came to a clearing from which they could see lanterns moving about. It was the family coming to look for them. They were in the ďŹ eld just below the farmhouse. He knew he was safely home. From this growing experience he learned to rely on his knowledge and courage and to realize what a trusting and loving relationship he had developed with his dog. There was a time when Rex became very ill and Sam suggested maybe he should get his new rie and put him out of his misery. He took Rex to the woods and had him clearly in the sights for a lethal shot.

Father Alphonsus fondly remembered To him the priesthood was the greatest gift he had received from God. To him the priesthood was the greatest gift he had received from God. He brought to the priesthood the gifts and values hewn into his character by his life with Sam and Molly Coyne in the hills of Brudenell. Father Alphie took this greatest gift of the priesthood and multiplied it through the dispensation of the sacraments, the preaching of Godʼs word, the compassion and care he had for others, and the hours spent in prayer. With these multiplications of the gifts of the Lord, we can proudly say he was one man who was a good and faithful servant. He not only served the spiritual needs of his parishioners but could often be found helping in various building projects for the parish and otherwise. He was not afraid to get his hands dirty. WELL LOVED AND REMEMBERED

He is well loved and remembered in the parishes in which he served as a compassionate man who listened to the poor and visited the sick in their homes. He not only listened to their physical and emotional needs

but filled them when possible. His expertise in hunting and fishing often provided provisions that they lacked in the winter months. The “brick of cash” that he carried with him was shared when he saw the need was there. During all this time in parish work he still found time to be supportive to his brother, Tom, and his family, to his foster brother, Pat Beggan and Mabel (OʼConnor). To them he was a loving, generous brother and to their children he was an uncle whose visits were joyfully anticipated. He was especially supportive to two other brothers, Joe Brown and Father Louis Casartelli. To Andrew Cybulskie and Jean (Smaggus) (foster sister) he was a presence, always interested, and visited whenever possible. I myself had many “chats” with him and an occasional steak or venison dinner. During those times I began to understand the man as an adult and not as I did as a child, and I appreciated his wisdom, his philosophy of life and his compassion for the less fortunate. He made me very happy

when he called me his “little sister Ellie” which he often did in his later years. In his years of recuperation from illness, he spent time with the Sisters of St. Joseph in their health care unit in Pembroke. As his health improved he joyfully took the responsibility of chaplaincy to the Sisters. His presence among them was cherished. He was sorely missed by all when he returned to Marionhill for his final months. Many stories could be told of Father Alph – some stories serious and some hilarious. SOME CLOSE FRIENDS

He had some very close friends among his brother priests who were very supportive of him in times of difficulty and celebrated with him in times of jubilation. He was a man full of love and faithful to relationships and open to love returned by many men and women who helped in his parishes. He didnʼt have airs about him. He was a simple and upright man who carried the sod of Brudenell in his shoes and its culture in his soul. He died peacefully Aug. 29, 2011. May he rest in peace. – With files from Bruce Laplante

But he could not bring himself to pull the trigger – the friendship was too strong. He laid Rex by a tree to die on his own. The dog wagged his tail as Alphie sadly walked away. That dog taught him fidelity and allowed him to access tenderness within himself for those weaker. He could be tough and was a softy when it came to defending those weak or helpless. He actually “prided” himself as a fighter in grade school. No one ever picked on his younger brothers, Tom and Pat Began (foster brother). Back on the farm he felt safe and secure. He was given farm responsibilities which, by todayʼs standards, may have far exceeded his strength and ability. At age 14 he assumed responsibilities and duties of a grown man. He embraced them, succeeded, worked hard and experienced the success of his labours. From his uncle he learned the patience of a farmer. From his Aunt he learned steadfastness, patience through physical pain and how to appreciate and use the fruits of the earth. He hunted and fished and then she canned and stored those provisions to supplement the diet of the many hungry mouths to be filled. Sam and Molly in their generosity took in a number of children in need of homes. Above all he learned by example a profound faith in God, commitment and fidelity to his Catholic Religion and to the church. When his school years were completed, he decided to follow the path of his five uncles and two of his foster brothers, Joe Brown and Louis Cassartelli and enter the seminary. After some time in the seminary he thought “maybe this is not for me” and he took a year off to reconsider his plans. He got a job as a teacher in the one room school in Rockingham. Each day he walked three miles through the bush to his job and returned in the evening to the farm.

Money was scarce and he contributed every penny he earned to the maintenance of the farm. After a year away from the seminary, he was counselled by a priest-friend to return to his studies. During the course of these studies he was asked to transfer to Grand Seminary in Montreal to study French and prepare himself to serve in French-Speaking parishes in the Pembroke Diocese. This was a very difficult time for him but he stayed the course and became bilingual. He spent some of his priesthood in parishes which were very bilingual and prided himself on the use of both French and English.
