Last call, election candidates Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Interest continues to rise during the countdown to filing deadlines for Renfrew council.

Former councillor Kate Windle, incumbent Andrew Evans and Tom Sidney filed in August, while Mike Coulas filed his nomination Sept. 2 to bring the number of candidates for councillor to 13. Council has five councillors, a reeve and a mayor.

The previous candidates for councillor were Robert Debeau and Zenaida Raboy in February; Gregory Lewis, Arlene Jamieson, incumbent Clint McWhirter and Jeff Taylor in March; and Mayor Bill Ringrose, Donna Falcon and Doug

Brookes in April.

“This is my eighth municipal election at the Town of Renfrew, and my recollection is that it’s the highest number of candidates overall,” said clerk Kim Bulmer, knowing there were a total of 19 candidates at the start of this week.

Veteran incumbent Audrey Green faces Peter Emon, the current Greater Madawaska mayor and Renfrew County warden, in the race for reeve.

As of Monday night, the mayoral contest featured four candidates.

At the start of the last week to file, the mayoral contestants were current councillors Jim Miller and Tom Anderson, Callum Scott and current Horton Mayor Don Eady.

Horton rejects plan for former Timbertown Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Plans to develop the former Timbertown property into a swimming and/or picnic area have been beached.

Horton Township’s beach sub-committee, which was long divided on whether to sell or develop the property on the Ottawa River, ended up voting 5-1 to retain the property and see if it could be developed into a park.

Under the chairship of Horton chief administrative officer Mackie McLaren, the committee held meetings for about a year and considered

the results of a public survey on the issue.

The committee produced a 238-page report that recommended the township retain the ‘beach’ property, use volunteers to develop the property as a park, and use $1,000 in the current budget to build up a reserve over time to develop the park.

After much consideration, including about an hour of discussion at the Sept. 2 Horton council meeting, it became clear that at least three of five council members were prepared to pass Coun. Jamey Larone’s motion to declare the property of 1,000 by 60 feet surplus.

In a prepared statement, Larone explained the reasons behind his motion.

Safety, financial cost and effective prioritizing of volunteers’ time were Larone’s foremost reasons for rejecting the sub-committee’s recommendations.

The cost to develop this property is more than the township can bear, and the risk to the health, safety and well-

being of the general public was too high, he said.

The ever-flowing strong current, should an innocent or inexperienced swimmer be caught, represented too much of a liability, he added.

He also said he strongly opposed developing the property when other developments of this nature already exist, such as the KOA Kampground and Burnstown Beach.

“I make this decision with no malice toward those who think this property’s development would enhance our rate-

The temperature of the race for office in Horton Township, meanwhile, has gone from lukewarm to warm.

Recent filings brought the total number of council candidates to four, with only four councillor berths available.

After initial filings by Lane Cleroux and past mayor Bob Johnston in late August, former councillor Dave Bennett and current councillor Glen Campbell have entered the race.

Meanwhile, councillors Margaret Whyte and Bob Kingsbury are in the mayoral race.

TO DECIDE FRIDAY

In Admaston-Bromley, the mayoral candidates are current councillor Michael Donohue and former councillor Jack Kelly, while Raye-Anne

Briscoe, the township mayor since 2000, says she’ll wait for a doctor’s appointment tomorrow afternoon (Sept. 12) to decide.

She, like all candidates, has until 2 p.m. Sept. 12 to file her nomination.

She wants to know that she’s physically ready for another term after undergoing left-knee replacement Aug. 26.

“It changes by the hour,” says Briscoe, 73, about whether or not she’ll enter the race.

“One moment I think I’m going to run, one moment I think I can’t.”

There are four candidates for councillor in AdmastonBromley. The candidates for four positions, with no distinct wards, are incumbent Bob Dick, Mike Quilty, former Horton council member Bob Hall and Kevin LeGris.

Greater Madawaska’s mayoral candidates, so far, are former councillor John Pratt and current councillor Glenda McKay. The present mayor, Peter Emon, is running for reeve in the Town of Renfrew.

In the same meeting, at Coun. Bob Kingsbury’s request, council delayed voting on Larone’s motion until the recreation committee could be apprised of council’s intentions at a meeting Sept. 4.

A special council meeting was also called for Friday, Sept. 4, at which council voted 4-1 in favour of a modified version of Larone’s original motion.

Coun. Margaret was opposed. Supporting the motion were Mayor Don Eady, Kingsbury, Larone and Glen Campbell.

“It’s a hard decision,” said Campbell, who called the vote one of council’s major decisions during this term of office.

Kingsbury reversed his intention to oppose the motion when it was agreed Larone’s motion include identification of where the property sits in the floodplain.

Kingsbury stressed the property must sit at least 247 feet above the floodplain, and the higher above it the better.

Eady particularly stressed his safety-related concerns.

Whitewater’s mayoral candidates are incumbent Jim Labow, councillor Joe Trimm and Hal Johnson.

Cleroux: first to file, and stay, in Horton race for councillor Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - An early 30th birthday gift for Lane Cleroux could very well be his election to Horton Township council.

Cleroux, who turns 30 on Dec. 4, filed his nomination papers Aug. 22. Margaret Whyte filed in January, but then left the race for councillor to enter the mayoral race in June.

Former mayor Bob Johnston, current councillor Glen Campbell and former councillor Dave Bennett have more recently entered the race for the four available positions of councillor.

If no others come forward, all four will be acclaimed.

Cleroux grew up in Ottawa, but his parents, Lyle and Charlotte, moved the family to the township in 1994.

For years previous, there were numerous family visits to the Horton cottage of his grandparents Howard

I’m looking forward to new ventures in life.

I just want to give back to the community.

- HORTON COUNCIL CANDIDATE LANE CLEROUX

and Jean.

One of Cleroux’s baptized names is Howard, in honour of his grandfather who was a Second World War navigator for the Royal Canadian Air Force.

Howard’s also the name by which many of Cleroux’s friends know him. “I knew I wanted to stay in Horton, so I bought a house near my parents in 2009,� said Cleroux, who attended Grades 5 through 8 at Horton Public School, then high school at Renfrew Collegiate Institute.

said Cleroux. “I’m looking forward to new ventures in life. I just want to give back to the community� he said, noting his experience in development and works since 2008 shouldn’t hurt.

As for local issues, he favours immediate work on the deteriorating Thomson Road (to avoid higher reconstruction costs in the more distant future), and dropping the Bonnechere River boat launch fees for Horton residents.

IDEA AT THE RINK

The idea of running for council arose during pickup hockey games at the Horton Community Centre.

After talking to staff and councillors in Renfrew and Horton, Cleroux made up his mind. “I know a lot of councillors are retirement age, but I figured I have enough time in life’s schedule,� he said.

The bachelor, who enjoys boating, ice fishing, snowmobiling and hockey, works as an engineering technician for Renfrew’s department of development and works.

His knowledge of the inner workings of municipal public works, his youth and eagerness to learn would be helpful for Horton council,

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, September 11, 2014 3

Former mayor eyes a fifth term on Horton council steve.newman@metroland.com

News – Bob Johnston happily left municipal government when he decided not to pursue a third term as mayor in Horton Township.

That was in 2010, but the plan backfired for the retired farmer.

He’s a long-time founding member and drummer of The Countrymen, helps organize the Valley Bluegrass Festival, and sits of the Renfrew Agricultural Society’s fair board, so he had lots to do in his spare time.

But there was still a gap.

He even got busier. He was elected president of the Renfrew County chapter of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, and joined the board of directors for Valley Heritage Radio and Renfrew & Area Seniors Home Support.

But something was missing.

“As the term went on, I felt I wanted to get back on the municipal scene. I missed it, to be honest,” said Johnston, now 73. “Basically, I have things to contribute.”

And so, he filed his nomination papers in late August.

If returned to council, he would bring 13 years experience on Horton council, and con-

tinue the long-standing tradition of Johnston family service on township council or administration.

His great, great grandfather, James, was the first clerk for Horton and Ross council in 1849.

The Johnston connection continued in the late 1880s when Bob’s great-grandfather, John, was a councillor and later the treasurer for Horton.

In and around the 1920s, Bob’s grandfather, John, was also a Horton councillor.

Bob’s dad, Andrew, didn’t follow suit, but Bob added another branch to the council tree when he was elected councillor in 1997 and 2000.

If re-elected, Johnston says he will do what he has always done.

That is, he’ll serve as a facilitator, provide unhurried answers (after analyzing the pros and cons of an issue), not sit on the fence, and be honest and fair.

Mostly, his head will follow his heart. “I just love Horton with my whole heart,” said Johnston, who says the volunteers are one of the township’s most precious commodities.

“I don’t have any axe to grind. I just want to contribute.”

Like Horton’s volunteers, he says he still has the energy to be a worthwhile contributor.

Former Horton mayor Bob Johnston is no stranger to local municipal politics.

Neophyte to the political scene wants to help his town Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News – Tom Sidney no longer wears five earrings, but one remains as testimony to his desire to connect with young people.

The step-dad for three youngsters, he has heard what both youngsters and adults want for Renfrew. “I think people want change, and nothing changes if nothing changes,” says Sidney, one of 12 candidates seeking a berth as councillor in the October municipal election.

From what Sidney, 40, has heard, change is not only overdue, but reflected by the high number of candidates (18) for councillor, reeve or mayor.

Whether the criticisms of council are valid, Sidney say they include non-transparency, lack of communication with the general public, council infighting and high water bills.

“Nothing seems to be progressing.

People have a lot of questions, and don’t seem to be getting answers,” says the Renfrew native, who’d like to see more answers, and with those answers a less judgmental community.

in their council, to be able to ask questions and get answers, even if they’re not going to like the answers.�

Sidney, who is director for the Renfrew County Suicide and Crisis Centre, says council needs better leadership. “I don’t think council worked well together. I think there was a lot of infighting, and I don’t want to hear that any more,� says Sidney. “I want to sit on council because I want people to have a voice.�

County Paramed Home Health Care workers take to the picket line Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

News - Paramed Home Health Care workers in Renfrew County walked off the job and picked up their pickets in downtown Renfrew on Tuesday, Sept. 2.

“Paramed wants to freeze our wages for five years. They have already been frozen for three,” OPSEU (Ontario Public Service Employees Union) Local 492 secretary Debbie Brennan said.

The starting wage for a home support worker at Paramed is $12.28 an hour.

“We have to use our own cars to get from point A to point B to service clients,” Brennan added.

“We are not getting compen-

sated. Insurance is going up, gas is going up, everything’s going up. A lot of the girls are living paycheck-to-paycheck.”

Their geographic area would be no more, Brennan added. “So we would have to travel from Arnprior up to Deep River.

“They didn’t think we’d go on strike and we proved them wrong.

“I feel sorry for the clients, but you’ve got to stand up for what you want,” Brennan said.

Local 492 represents about 140 home care workers, including nurses and personal support workers in several communities across eastern Ontario, including Renfrew, Pembroke, Barry’s Bay, Eganville and Arnprior.

One local resident vastly affected by the strike is Rose Ann Kunopaskie of Vimy Boulevard.

She is a quadriplegic, and received no service on the first night of the strike.

Through some phone calls, Kunopaskie was eventually able to get services arranged PETER CLARK/METROLAND for the second day.

Renfrew County Paramed Home Support Health Care workers picket on Raglan Street in “I’d see a different person Renfrew after walking off the job Sept. 2. every day. That gets so stressful,” Kunopaskie said of the days since.

“The Paramed people become like family,” she added of her regular homecare workers.

Kunopaskie understands why they are on strike, but is hoping to see the strike settled sooner rather than later.

OPG IS CONDUCTING RESEARCH ON THE OTTAWA RIVER TO PROTECT ONTARIO’S BIODIVERSITY. Ontario Power Generation is conducting research downstream of OPG’s Chenaux and Chats Falls hydroelectric generating stations. This research, which is being carried out by Kleinschmidt Associates, is in support of OPG’s ongoing American eel migration studies and the enhancement of Ontario’s lake sturgeon population.

Kleinschmidt’s boat may be in close proximity to the shoreline as it completes day and night-time fishing abundance studies and shoreline inspections. This yearly research is being conducted under permits from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and in accordance with O. Reg. 242/08 (as amended by O. Reg. 176/13) under the Ontario Endangered Species Act. Work will continue until the end of October.

Please visit www.opg.com to learn more about OPG’s biodiversity programs. If you have any questions about these studies, contact OPG at 613-433-9673, extension 3350.

Mercer back in the mix in Greater Madawaska News - Don Mercer and wife Sheila will soon celebrate their 50th anniversary.

If his plans are realized, he’ll also be back on Greater Madawaska council by then. The former councillor, who served two consecutive terms to open the 2000 era, feels he still has much to offer.

“I have a thorough knowledge of Greater Madawaska Township’s topography in all three wards,” Mercer said.

The father of three grown children has lived in the Calabogie area much of his life.

“My family has owned property, both waterfront and inland, in Greater Madawaska since 1950,” he says.

Mercer’s working career of 35 years was within the telecommunications and product development industry and spanned Ontario, British Former Greater Madawaska counColumbia and Beaverton, Oregon. cillor Don Mercer hopes to return “I have a keen interest in the cur- to municipal politics. rent and future development of our “This can be testified to with my township,” Mercer said.

“My primary residence is within jerk decisions.

Ward 1 on Calabogie Road. I strongly believe this to be mandatory criteria for all candidates,” he stressed.

Mercer has chaired both the finance and public works committees in his previous terms on council.

He also served as a member of the Madawaska Highlands Park standing committee initiated by the Ministry of Natural Resources, and is a member of the Renfrew County Land Owners Association.

TIP OF THE HAT

As for major issues, Mercer tips his hat to the outgoing council.

“I view the microburst windstorm to have had a very significant impact on the township, primarily Ward 1,” he said, adding the council did a very respectable job in handling the recovery and management of a very difficult unplanned occurrence.

“Issues for the next term will, no doubt, include the proposed cost of policing, potential lack of provincial infrastructure funding, as well as the impact of the endangered species legislation on municipal planning and land development,” he said.

Mercer also congratulated runner Melissa Bishop of Eganville on her athletic achievements and profiling for Renfrew County.

News - The decision to run for Renfrew reeve in the municipal election was finalized while driving through the Canadian prairies.

But Peter Emon, 54, says a major impetus was the unsolicited public encouragement to run here after announcing that he wouldn’t seek re-election as mayor in Greater Madawaska.

“It’s one of the only ways I can consistently contribute to a community,” says the Calabogie native, who’s moving to town with wife Alanna and their eight-year-old STEVE NEWMAN/METROLALND daughter.

EDITORIAL

Keep going wild for charity

A

llowing yourself to be drenched by a bucket of ice-cold water might not be the first thing that springs to mind when you think of something to pass the time.

Yet like those who strip down to their bathing suits to take the frigid polar bear plunge on New Year’s Day every year, there is something more than lunacy behind the Ice Bucket Challenge craze that’s sweeping the globe.

In fact, a day doesn’t go by without some notable resident or worldwide superstar of the screen, stage or sporting field sitting in front of a camera, recording their moment of bravery to raise money to support amyotrophic lateral sclerosis research.

So far, thanks to both the well-publicized antics of celebrities or the more humble courage of lessfamous individuals, more than $100 million has been raised for ALS – better known as Lou Gehrig’s disease – research worldwide in the month of August.

That’s an impressive number that includes $10 million donated to the ALS Society of Canada alone.

The results of the campaign are startling. According to the ALS Association, a mere $2.8 million was raised during the same period last year. That’s a huge difference, one that can be attributed to the Ice Bucket Challenge.

This begs the question of why fundraisers from other organizations don’t put their heads together to come up with similarly bizarre challenges to raise money. If people can return year after year to take the polar bear plunge or grow a moustache for Movember, often backed by charitable pledges, surely some sort of strange challenge or feat would attract potential donors to pony up for a thrill and spectacle similar to the Ice Bucket Challenge.

Yes, there are runs, hikes, bicycle tours and swims to raise money for one cause or another, but nothing that has caught the collective imagination like a brief, icy bath.

The people involved with ALS have thrown down a fundraising challenge. It will be exciting to see what those who accept it can dream up.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Tariffs cause price-gouging of dairy consumers To the editor:

Opinion - The best proof that supply management is indefensible is that its supporters almost never admit or deny that the system imposes hidden taxes of 200-300 percent on food while excluding some aspiring would-be farmers from entering the industry. The dairy lobby realizes that if it admitted these facts publicly that it would lose its battle in public opinion. So the lobby’s tactic is to obfuscate, obfuscate, and obfuscate away the truth.

Thankfully at least Angela Field in her letter to the August 28th Mercury openly acknowledges the role of “tariffs�. Mrs. Field is correct that tariffs are applied to many imports of varying sectors, but most tariffs do not redistribute wealth from food consumers to the wealthiest quota-owners among one of Canada’s most powerful lobbies.

requires�. Yet this is to imply that the Soviet-style central planning dairy boards are forcing farmers into production levels serving farmers’ own self-interests, whereas those same farmers somehow could not be more efficient with personal discretion in choosing their own production levels.

There are indeed programs for applying for quota grants. However, the core economics of the system still require systematic exclusion.

Only by such exclusion can tariffs be adjusted to costs of production without free rider would-be farmers pushing the price-gouging beyond all consumer affordability. But the resulting arbitrary inequalities cannot be disputed while some farmers take up massive loans to buy quota while others simply inherit quota.

Dairy farming is a costly enterprise, but since tariffs by their very

purpose discourage efficiency, they do not reduce the market costs associated with the industry. The tariffs merely return revenue upon the system-manufactured costs of buying the finite quotas in the first place.

In alleging that supply management protects against the hazards of foreign imports, Mrs. Field also admitted that those imports are legal.

But we would import less if there were no quota limits to how much safe product Canadian dairy producers could sell to Canadians!

As long as the dairy lobbyists rely on keeping citizens in the dark on the core economics of their supply management, it will be clear that their supposed sacred cow is instead just a one-trick pony.

Opinion - Re: Strike, ParaMed/home care workers I am not in favour of strikes. I believe that, in some cases, they are created through greed, not necessity.

But I do back up 100 per cent the present strike by the above-mentioned workers. I am fortunate to benefit from the services of one and I find her punctual, caring, knowledgeable and willing to do literally anything that is within her scope.

I firmly believe that the wages earned by these workers are not commensurate with their worth, especially when compared to the salaries earned by their administrators.

Home care workers are in the front line of the system and have often been responsible for spotting changes in their clients at an early stage.

A strike creates hardship and I hope that in this case it will have been justified.

The total dairy quota value is $24 billion and poultry quota is worth $7 billion, because these are the expected revenues from future price-gouging of consumers through tariff protections. Even if taxpayers needed to provide onetime compensation to poorer farmers as part of a phase-out of supply management, even as high as $5 billion, at least producers would not forever gouge consumers by $2.6 billion per year as estimated by the OECD. Australia’s number of dairy farms and production levels did decrease following ending of supply management. But reduction in farm numbers is also not avoided under supply management, from 144,000 Canadian dairy farms in 1971 to over 12,000 at present.

Half of Labour Day long weekend fatalities attributed to driver distraction OPP says public can help make distracted driving unacceptable Ontario Provincial Police

News - Driver distraction was a factor in two of the four fatal motor vehicle collisions the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) investigated over the Labour Day Long Weekend, pushing the number of 2014 distraction-related roads deaths up to 39 (in OPP jurisdiction) The drivers lost their lives over the same weekend that the OPP deployed its 10 re-purposed distracted driving enforcement sports utility vehicles across the province.

While the vehicles will be enforcing Ontario’s distracted driving legislation full-time, these latest road tragedies reinforce the need for drivers, passengers and all other road users to become part of the solution.

If you are a driver, always pay full attention to driving and make a full-time habit of turning off your electronic hand-held device until you pull over or reach your destination.

If you are a passenger being driven by someone who is talking on their cell phone, texting or distracted in some other way, firmly ask that

they stop this dangerous behaviour and tell them that you do not feel safe, even if they erroneously try to reassure you that they are able to drive safely while distracted.

As of the end of the Labour Day Weekend, the OPP has laid more than 11,500 Highway Traffic Act 78.1 Prohibit Hand-held Devices charges in Ontario so far this year.

“Our officers are working as hard as ever to eliminate the senseless deaths that occur because of distracted driving but more needs to be done and we are asking the public to get on board. People have the ability to help positively influence the behaviour change that is needed on the part of those drivers who still feel that they can safely drive while distracted,” said Chief Superintendent Chuck Cox, Commander, OPP Highway Safety Division.

“Help make distracted driving socially unacceptable by spreading the word to family, friends, co-workers and schoolmates that there is no such thing as a safe distracted driver – distracted driving kills,” he said.

The OPP would like to thank the many Ontario residents and visitors who did their part to ensure that they and their families made it through a safe long weekend on roads, waterways and trails.

TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the Township of McNab/Braeside passed ByLaw 2014-55 adopting Amendment No. 5 to the Official Plan of the Township of McNab/Braeside on the 26th day of August, 2014, in accordance with Sections 17 and 22 of the Planning Act. Subject Lands: All lands within the Township of McNab/Braeside.

Proposed Official Plan Amendment The purpose of Official Plan Amendment No. 5 is to add a new General Development Policy to Section 14.0 of the Official Plan that generally supports the establishment of secondary residential units, namely garden suites, as well as, secondary dwelling units within existing dwellings. The policy will set out general criteria that such units must meet and would apply to all lands within the Township. It is proposed however, that requests for such uses would still require a site-specific zoning by-law amendment so that Council may consider the setting, factors and constraints to ensure that the additional residential unit is appropriate for the specific site. Subsection 16.8 –Temporary Uses would also be updated to permit “granny suites” for a period of 20 years instead of 10.

INFORMATION in respect of the proposed amendment will be available at the Township of McNab/Braeside Municipal Offices during regular office hours.

ANY PERSON or public body will be entitled to receive notice of the decision of the approval authority if a written request to be notified of the decision is made to the approval authority.

THE APPROVAL AUTHORITY, to which the amendment will be submitted for approval, is: The County of Renfrew 9 International Drive PEMBROKE, ON K8A 6W5 NOTE: One of the purposes of the Planning Act is to provide for planning processes that are open, accessible, timely and efficient. Accordingly, all written submissions, documents, correspondence, e-mails or other communications (including your name and address) form part of the public record and will be disclosed/made available by the Municipality to such persons as the Municipality sees fit, including anyone requesting such information. Accordingly, in providing such information, you shall be deemed to have consented to its use and disclosure as part of the planning process.

Dated at the Township of McNab/Braeside this 11th day of September, 2014.

SHERRY HAAIMA/METROLAND

Meredith, Katie and Dan Muldoon-Roy join Tysen Lefebvre at the brand new hot tub, a wish granted to Katie by Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario.

Katie’s wish comes true Make-A-Wish Foundation delivers hot tub to local girl Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News - The love flowed as freely as the water in Katie Muldoon-Roy’s brand new hot tub.

Wednesday, Aug. 27 was a very special day at the Muldoon-Roy home on Calabogie Road. Katie’s parents Meredith and Dan joined other family members, friends, Make-AWish Eastern Ontario officials and Sani-Sol Pool and Spa workers to see five-year-old Katie’s wish of having a hot tub realized.

Katie lives with mitochondrial disease and intractable epilepsy and uses a wheelchair for mobility. She loves to swim and be in the water and that’s why a hot tub was a logical choice for her wish, say her parents.

“It’ll mean Katie can float and be free. She just loves water and she actually has more movement in water than she does against gravity,” said Meredith. “When she’s sitting in her chair she can move her arms and legs, but she can do so much more when she’s in

the water. It’ll be good for her muscles.”

Meredith is from the Arnprior area while husband Dan is originally from Sudbury.

The couple was living in Sudbury when Katie was first born but being closer to CHEO and family soon brought the family back to the area. “Katie was born and she was healthy and at four months old she had seizures,” said Meredith. “And then we came and got treatment at CHEO and were there for just over a week.”

They went home but soon returned to CHEO, where Katie was admitted for three months to try and get her seizures under control.

It was suspected, but the diagnosis of mitochondrial disease was confirmed when Katie was 18 months old.

Katie is on a ketogenic diet for intractable epilepsy, which is epilepsy that is hard to control with medications. She sees 13 specialists at CHEO. Last year alone, the family made well over 100 trips to the hospital.

The Muldoon-Roys are humble about the added chal-

lenge of having a child with special needs.

“It’s a full-time job just like any other mom,” said Meredith. “Katie’s health is our priority. She is a regular kid in a lot of respects. She likes to watch TV, except she does a lot of it doing therapy.”

Katie likes to colour and paint, help her mom in the kitchen and play with her dog.

She also attends preschool at the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre in Kanata a few times a week. Katie skis in the winter at Calabogie Peaks and the family is exploring the possibility of horseback riding She uses a standing frame for exercise and as far as communication goes she is the youngest child in Ottawa and the valley to use a Dynavox eye gaze frame – a computer that reads her eye movement.

“She picks out what she wants to say using her eyes, which is a wonderful skill for her,” said Meredith. “Her comprehension is the same as any other five-year-old it’s just she can’t express it in the same way.”

Playing hide and go seek years ago at the Renfrew Fair Lifestyle - If Mother would have followed Father’s advice, we would have bypassed the Renfrew fair that year. Our Montreal cousins were with us, and Terry the youngest would have been no trouble, but Ronny, the eldest was another matter all together.

But Mother thought a face to face talk with Ronny before the old model T left the barn yard would be sufficient to insure his best behaviour.

She didn’t have to go over the ground rules with the rest of us. We knew them by heart. Stay together.

No squabbling. Don’t sit on the seat in the outdoor privy, and a reminder that once our quarter was gone, there was no more money to squander.

Ronny said he understood perfectly.

The Renfrew Fair was just about the most exciting place to be on a Fall day. My three brothers were usually flat broke in less than an hour.

Whereas my sister Audrey and I took ages to make up our minds how we wanted to spend our quarters.

We had gone to the fair early Saturday evening that year. It wasn’t the best time to go, because organizers usually started to dismantle everything by nine o’clock. However, the side benefit was that often we got rides at a discount price because it was the final night.

As usual, we cruised the entire fair

Wish

From page 10

Meredith, who has a background as an occupational therapist and Dan, a teacher, expressed their gratitude for the support of their family and friends, and in particular the medical care they’ve received.

Katie is part of the Champlain complex coordination of care and has a primary care pediatrician and a nurse who know her, inside and out.

“We’ve had exceptional care at CHEO,” said Dan. “Her doctor will call us at home, send messages.

They really care about Katie, they know her very well. And they care about us as well.”

Mitochondrial disease affects one in 4,000 but is not as well known as other diseases, explains Meredith.

“More children are affected and succumb to mito than childhood cancer,” said Meredith.

The term ‘mitochondrial disease’ refers to a group of disorders and the symp-

as soon as we arrived, with specific orders from Mother, since we were there at night time, to stay together and meet back at the ticket booth by nine o’clock. Ronny, for a change, seemed to be on his best behaviour.

Once or twice he compared the Renfrew Fair to a place called LaFontaine Park in Montreal, but we paid little attention to him. He wasn’t too impressed and called the rides “kid stuff”.

Finally, the boys had spent every cent of their allowance. I still had a nickel tied in the corner of my hanky.

We always saved the exhibition hall for last. Audrey and I loved to see the handiwork and see who had won prizes. The boys hated the hall, but Mother’s instructions left no doubt in anyone’s mind that we all stayed together. And so it was five reluctant boys who shuffled into the hall that night to look at the displays of quilts, baking, grain, vegetables,

There is no cure for mitochondrial disease but many people have a normal life span with their disease well-managed.

SPECIAL DAY

Among the special guests at the Make-A-Wish presentation were 14-yearold Tysen Lefebvre and his mom Linda.

Tysen was granted his wish to meet Adam Sandler from Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario in 2012. He is now on a mission to pay it forward and raise $1 million so he can help MakeA-Wish grant 100 wishes to children.

Katie’s is the third wish Tysen has worked on and he and Linda were just thrilled to be a part of it.

“We had the most incredible time meeting the beautiful Katie, and her amazing family, such great people!” said Linda.

Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario co-ordinator Annie Stiles said she was thrilled

and corn stalks tied together in great tall bundles.

Ronny promised if we let him wander the hall, he would not leave the building. Audrey was too engrossed in the needle work to argue.

We must have spent a good hour before we realized Ronny was no where to be found. We skirted the displays several times, to no avail. Perhaps he had gone out to the ticket gate. Everett, being the oldest, was dispatched immediately. When he got back, Mother was stern faced and walking quickly beside him. Ronny was not with them.

We were ordered to fan out like a search party looking for someone lost in the bush. We started to get panicky when we saw the fair board beginning to dismantle the displays in the hall.

A group of ladies from the Women’s Institute was folding quilts, and putting the baking in large baskets.

Audrey and I were posted at the door just in case he had wandered out and would come back to look for us. The hall was emptying out of people. Mother’s look of anger was quickly turning to a look of panic. As was usual for me, when I got scared or distressed, I started to cry, which led my sister Audrey to repeat one of my father’s favourite observations: “Mary your bladder must be awfully

to be part of making Katie’s wish come true.

“I have the best job in the world,” said Stiles, who said she often borrows a co-worker’s concept when explaining the experience. “It’s like being Oprah – you get a hot tub and you get a hot tub!” She continues to be impressed by the people with whom she comes in contact.

“The families we meet are so fantastic,” she said.

“And Make-A-Wish really brings the community together. The Muldoons are a great family. Everyone wants to join in and give.

With the help of Sani-Sol, Marquis Spa, Murray Crogie at Town and Country Forming LTD and, of course, Tysen’s Mission to a Million we were able to grant this little princess her wish.”

Stiles praised all those who helped, including Tysen and his Mission to a Million.

“Tysen and his team have been doing absolutely amazing things. They have worked so hard to make

wishes come true,” she said.

Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario is affiliated with Marquis, a Sani-Sol Pool and Spa supplier. Phil Tanguay and Randy Fowler of Stittsville-based Sani-Sol installed the hot tub and had it up and running by 11 a.m.

Being a part of making Katie’s wish come true is an experience neither will soon forget.

“This isn’t my average day on the job,” said Tanguay. “We are happy to help. It feels great to be here.”

close to your eyes.”

We had been looking for Ronny for an hour. I was convinced he had been hauled off by one of the carnival workers, which made me cry all the louder. The hall was almost stripped. Everyone but the workers had gone home. All that was left were the grain displays and the tall stalks of corn tied into bundles and standing along one wall. A few farmers were moving into position to take away even those last remnants of the Renfrew Fair. “NO,” they said, they hadn’t seen a young boy with blonde hair who looked like he was lost.

Mother thought she should go and look for the police. One of the farmers thought that might be a good idea, as he moved over to the tall stalks of corn. He lifted the first two bundles and tossed them on his shoul-

ders. His tall lanky son reached for the third. When he lifted it from the wall, there was Ronny sitting behind the corn stalks looking out at us with sheer delight and devilment written all over his face.

Mother was so mad she swung her purse at him and caught the farmer square on the side of his head. He recovered quickly, and made a grab for the young villain. But Mother beat him to it. She grabbed Ronny by the scruff of the neck and hauled him to his feet which never touched the floor all the way out of the building. Father was wearing his, “I told you so” look.

Finally Ronny looked Mother square in the eye and said, “I don’t know why everyone is so mad...I wasn’t lost. I knew where I was all the time.”

Keith Briscoe kicks off 160th fair Lucy Hass lucy.hass@metroland.com

News - The 160th Renfrew Fair was officially launched Thursday night by a man who knows all about fall fairs and community involvement.

Keith Briscoe, 95, performed the official ribbon-cutting against the backdrop of a familiar fall landmark, the Ferris wheel.

The oldest member of the Renfrew fair board wrapped up an opening ceremony that featured words of welcome from local politicians and performances by singer Samantha Savage and juggler Patrick Weller.

Politicians from all four levels of government brought words of welcome.

“Imagine – 160 years,” MPP John Yakabuski exclaimed, “how many cattle have been auctioned off in 160 years, or hogs or sheep. How many pies have been baked for the fair.

How many kids have had rides on the midway.”

And Yakabuski shared his own memory of travelling to the Renfrew Fair from his home in Barry’s Bay. “The Renfrew Fair was like going to heaven. It was unbelieveable what you could do.

For kids, it is still a great place to go, and it is an opportunity for the community to get together,” he said.

“So many people do so much work to make this happen ... it’s five days that require about 500 days of work,” he added.

MP Cheryl Gallant noted the importance of fall fairs across eastern Ontario and Warden Peter Emon recalled his own fair memories.

“It (the fair) was a big event.

You went to school and you had four new outfits and one was for the fair,” he said.

He recalled the candy and hotdogs and how his mother and grandmother would take him through the exhibit hall.

“I’ve always had a good feeling about the Renfrew Fair,” he said. “It’s so important for all of our communities,.”

“This is a very special venue and a great signature event for the Town of Renfrew and for the County of Renfrew,” he added.

Renfrew Mayor Bill Ringrose spoke of the joy he experienced through his children, the pride in seeing their work being displayed in the exhibit hall, and his own consistent service at the Rotary

Bacon on a Bun booth.

“On behalf of Renfrew town council, the citizens of Renfrew, let me say to the board – its current members, its past members, all the people who support it – you’ve done an excellent job; please continue,” Mayor Ringrose said.

MPP Yakabuski and MP Cheryl Gallant both touted the importance of small-town fall fairs across eastern Ontario and presented certificates of congratulations to Renfrew Fair president Gladys Curry.

“As president, it is my honour to work with and thank our manager, executive, board of directors, volunteers and exhibitors for their hard work during the past year. It is your passion and energy that has sustained this fair for 160 years,” Curry said. “Also, a sincere thank-you to community businesses, sponsors and donors. Without your support this event could not take place.”

Also on stage for the festivities were two representatives from Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies District 2 – director Louise Blair and secretary Andrey Kostacak – and Renfrew Fair homecraft president Katrina Crozier and director Barb Cole.

BEGINNER CLASS

Those in the beginner class may have ridden several years, but that wasn’t the case for William McIntyre, 39, of Renfrew. He’s only been riding a year but says he’s already hooked.

He wasn’t among the top finishers Sunday, but that didn’t matter. After finishing the course with quarterhorse Honey, he said, “I’m totally addicted (to riding). It gives you the freedom to work with an animal, and you have to learn their language.”

Frances MacLaren, 29, of Horton won the beginner class with 79.90 points, with friend Lisa Theriault, 26, of Admaston-Bromley a close second at 79.01. Their respective mounts were Vanna and Don’t Skip Kool.

The next local finisher was Chelsea McCann of Eganville in fifth place.

MacLaren called the event exhilarating and challenging. Theriault called it exciting, especially because of the loud and supportive crowd.

Sports - The Renfrew Ultimate Horse Club is just finding its footing in its second season, but they think they’re onto something.

The debut of their extreme (or ultimate) cowboy obstacle course at the 2013 Carp Fair continued Sunday at the Renfrew Fair, and will return to Carp later this month to offer a challenging course for 20 top riders.

At the Renfrew Fair Sunday, there were beginner, youth and open classes that attracted more than 40 entries, including 23 in the beginner class.

The obstacle courses present 13 challenges for horse and rider through such tests as the pivot barrel, carousel, water box, cowboy curtain and the bridge.

Horses tend to be finicky souls who can be driven nervous or scared by the newest of things, like pulling a stuffed animal across a horse ring with a rope or walking across a wooden bridge that stands just a few inches off the ground.

And so the Renfrew Ultimate Horse Club is in its second season, promoting extreme cowboy competitions that they host at Kim and Linda White’s Hold Fast Farm, near Burnstown, and at such events as the Renfrew and Carp fairs.

The club’s main organizer of the Renfrew Fair extreme cowboy obstacle races was Sheila Toll-Overton of Haley Station. She’s also a recent winner of a special belt buckle for winning the extreme cowboy series that stopped in Lombardy, Merrickville, South Mountain and Perth.

While watching the beginner class during the Renfrew Fair, she said she hopes the event helps the club’s membership grow. There’s no formal membership yet, but she hopes the events help to develop that wonderful bond that can exist between horse and rider.

“We’re trying to bring people out with their horses to do things they wouldn’t normally see in the show ring,” said Toll-Overton.

The extreme events, she adds, can help build that special confidence between horse and rider.

Esther “Doris” Bourke (nee Doolan) passed in peace and entered Eternal Life on Friday August 29,2014 at the Groves Park Lodge, Renfrew at the age of 87 years.

Daughter of the late Catherine Brennan and the late Patrick Doolan. Doris was born in Dublin, Ireland; the third youngest of 12 children. She was the beloved “Dorrie” to her predeceased brothers Robert, Joey, Peter, John, Christopher and predeceased sisters Bridget, Anne, Katherine, Mary, Maureen and infant sister Theresa. Doris enjoyed a childhood roaming the fields of Crumlin with her siblings, “sampling” the apple crop from local farmers and gorging on hedgerow blackberries. Like many Irish of her generation, Doris left Ireland to seek work in England.

She met her late husband Thomas Joseph Bourke(1989) at the Blarney Dance Hall in London in 1951 and followed him to Canada a year later. They were married in 1952 and raised five children in Braeside, Ontario. Doris was a faithful Catholic and prayed the rosary daily, mainly for “those who most need it...whoever and wherever they may be.” Throughout her life she engaged in many quiet acts of generosity and compassion and lived her faith through her open door (and heart) policy of welcoming any and all into her home and life - be they old friends, wayward children, travellers or lost pets. She was an active member of the Sandpoint - Braeside CWL for more than 50 years and will be remembered for her legendary pie-making abilities and her lifelong mission of teaching people the art of “real tea-making”. Doris took up golfing later in life, and knew she had truly found her sport when she discovered she had a wicked drive that could send the ball sailing hundreds of yards down the fairway; putting was another story. In her death she is reunited with family members who have passed on before her, in particular her eldest son David Thomas Bourke (2012).

Doris’ unconditional love and quick wit will be greatly missed.

Those left to mourn her loss and cherish her memory include her children Patrick (Sabina) of Stittsville; Thomas (Cheryl) of Glasgow Station; John (Dianne) of Ottawa and Maureen of Glasgow Station; her daughter-in-law Annalynn Bourke of Braeside; as well as her grandchildren; David, Sean, Chantal, Shannon, Brandon, Jordan, Connor and great-grandchildren; Lucas, Christopher, Rhiannon, Dallas, Aidan. A part of Doris’ heart always remained in her homeland of Ireland where she was a special Aunt to those of her beloved childhood home, 16 Rafter’s Road: Patrick O’Reilly (Phyllis), Christopher O’Reilly (Nora), Kevin O’Reilly (Mary), Francis O’Reilly (Patricia), Catherine O’Reilly, Elizabeth O’Reilly, the late Patrick Doolan, Marie Mallon and their respective families. Doris could think of no better place to spend her last night on earth than in a church, and therefore like many of her Irish ancestors she will be taken to her beloved parish church, Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Braeside where family and friends were invited to pay their respects on Friday, September 5th from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. A mass of Christian Burial was celebrated on, what was to be her 88th birthday, Saturday morning September 6th at 11 o’clock. Doris cared deeply about injustices and the welfare of others, especially the most forgotten of our society. We know that she would appreciate a donation to a local charity such as the Ottawa Mission, a global social justice organization such as Development and Peace, or an organization of your choice that is trying to make the world a more loving and caring place.

“Set me like a seal on your heart, Love is strong as death.”

In the care of the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior.

Brian Kauffeldt, in car No. 4, Brian McBride (3) and Marcus Belaire (20) battle along the wall at the 20th Renfrew Fair Demolition Derby. As it turned out, all three advanced through the opening heat at last Wednesday night’s event.

Four division champs crowned at derby Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - The demolition derby last Wednesday night was the Renfrew Fair’s 20th. It was also the quickest.

Under the direction of Xtreme Productions of Whitby for the ninth time, the six heats and four features were rattled off in about two and a half hours.

When the dust settled for the final time, four drivers drove away with a combined $3,100 for capturing their classes. Twelve drivers – champions included – earned $50 for surviving their heats, although in some cases, their cars weren’t in good enough shape to continue.

Adam Wright of Renfrew and Chalk River’s Mike Davey both pocketed a cool $1,000 for their efforts.

Wright took the six-cylinder competition in car No. 797. He outlasted fellow local driver Terry Clemmer’s car No. 5 when the final got down to its last two cars.

Heat recipients of $50 were Wright, Clemmer, Chris Lewis (3) and Brian Cunningham (15C). Derek Fougere of Calabogie (18) and Lower Ashdad’s Dallas Brydges also advanced, although as third-place finishers in their heats, neither received prize money.

Davey’s trip to Renfrew proved worthwhile as he claimed top billing in the V8 straight stock class at the wheel of car 253.

Heat winners were five-time derby winner Shawn Kelly (01), Jesse Schultz (515), James Anderson (Z27) and Earl Anderson (20); while Tyler Anderson (5) and Davey qualified for the final as third-place competitors.

Renfrew driver Steven Walters wheeled his way through the fourcylinder feature class in car 114 and banked $600.

Advancing to the final were Marcus Belaire of Haley Station (20), Bryan McBride (3), Shane McGregor (18) and Walters. Brian Kauffeldt (4) and Jesse Schultz (515), both of Hor-

ton, were the other qualifiers.

Completing the four-man line to the winner’s circle was Brian Cunningham of Horton in the cockpit of car No. 15.

Cunningham prevailed over Jeff Woito (4U2C) and Chris Wright (11) in the eight-cylinder pro stock final, which earned Cunningham $500.

There were no heats in this division.

Josh Haaima (4) won the most decorated car award, as selected by the applause from the crowd.

Mary Ann Brewster (23) and Justin Bennett (8) remained in contention until the final cheer.

Brooke Kennedy of Xtreme Productions thanked the Renfrew Firefighters, Marshall’s, Yolkowskie Lumber and Scrap, St. John Ambulance and the Renfrew County Paramedics for their support in the derby.

Extreme Productions has run about 10 demolition derbies this summer.

Although Militant Outdoors bit into the deficit with four runs in the bottom half of the inning, RMH was able to protect two and three-run leads the rest of the way en route to claiming the 2014 championship.

The eventual 12-10 victory gave the Stewart Street restaurant the best-of-five series in four games.

Do not let the label “seniors” mislead you?

In both euchre and shuffleboard, the name of the game is Win, and Win Again!

Having said that, the primary objective of both groups is to ensure all enjoy the afternoon and in this regard everyone recognizes there is a learning curve for both euchre and shuffleboard. Should any individual seek assistance, it will be freely and happily provided.

Sports - Duplicate bridge on Wednesday, September 3 saw four and one-half tables in play at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

A new type of game movement was implemented in today’s play where all players were assigned to a group (strat) based on their current point holdings.

Each contestant played against players of all point ranges. Points were awarded to the leaders in each strat.

If a Strat C player scored better than one of the leaders in Strat B (a higher ranked strat), the C player was also awarded the points for Strat B. Congratulations to the winners: A Strat: Ernie Berndt and David Minty;

B Strat: Garry Irving and Andy Sklepowicz; and, C Strat: Janet Osborne and Ursula Endicott.

Kudos to the BerndtMinty Team for bidding the only Slam of the day – a Six Diamonds Bid on Board 17 making “Seven” for a grand total of 970.

Jeannie Yagminas and Eric Brown showed their grit by making “Four” on a Three Diamonds Doubled Bid, while vulnerable, on Board 16 for a score of 570.

Way to go, teams!

Duplicate bridge begins at 1 p.m. each Wednesday.

Everyone is welcome.

Partners are provided for those who come early.

Community - Multiple sclerosis is the most common neurological disease affecting young adults in Canada.

An estimated 100,000 Canadians are living with MS and three new Canadians are diagnosed each day.

Jo-Anne Matthie was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2000, though she had suspected she had it for a number of years.

Mild symptoms started to appear when she was in her late twenties, but medical tests over the years could find no explanation and they often dissipated, usually to appear again at a later date. MS feeds on stress and because of an extreme amount of it in the late 1990s, her multiple sclerosis exacerbated and changed her life completely.

Perhaps the most common affliction with MS is the overwhelming fatigue.

It is like trying to run through water up to your neck.

There is also a great deal of pain.

Numbness and tingling in your lower legs and hands makes it difficult, if not impossible, to walk, write or type and problems with balance create many tumbles.

Most people with MS have been accused of being drunk because of their stumbling gait.

Vision can change on a daily basis and hearing can be affected as well.

Damage to the brain destroys thought processes which is very frustrating.

There are many other symptoms and no two people are the same.

With multiple sclerosis, you never know who you are going to be tomorrow.

By 2013 Jo-Anne was only able to walk a little, with the assistance of a walker or cane. Preparations were underway to install a stair rider and papers were being filled out to get a wheelchair in the near future.

MS had advanced to the next stage and the point of no return.

Then in July of 2013 a miracle happened. She suddenly, and with no explanation, started to feel better.

She still has MS afflictions, but considers them minor comparatively.

When her grandson was born in 2011, she was only able to hold him while sitting down and with someone beside her, supervising in case she ran into trouble.

Two years later she takes him on her adventure walks and plays hockey with him in her driveway or living room.

She even found herself carrying him up a steep hill one day when he said he was too tired to make it.

Her head began to clear from the damage to her brain so she could think and speak coherently once more.

Wolves to host five-game MetroValley Division showcase Saturday Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - While many people in and around Renfrew were enjoying the 20th demolition derby at the Renfrew Fair last Wednesday night, Renfrew Timberwolves coach Kip Mulvihill, assistants Mike Bredlaw and Danby Suckow, and general manager Brent Sylvester were getting one last look at their Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League club before the tough final cuts had to be made.

The Wolves capped off their pre-season slate with a 6-4 win over the Pontiac Juniors at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. Players penned in to be team leaders – Scott Conroy and Lucas Gonu – notched two goals each.

Renfrew went 4-and-0 during exhibition play, but three of the games, a 5-3 win over the Arnprior Packers, 6-5 shootout decision at the Stittsville Rams, and the win over Shawville, gave the Wolves staff an opportunity to mull over the lineup under regular game conditions.

The Wolves defeated an all-rookie Stittsville lineup 12-1 in the other pre-season tilt.

The Wolves start the 2014-15 regular season on the road Friday night when they take on the Perth Blue Wings. Game time is 7:45 p.m.

The Wolves open their regular-season home schedule against the Metcalfe Jets as part of a day-long Metro-Valley showcase this Saturday, Sept. 13 at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

Games are: South Ottawa Canadians vs. Arnprior Packers at 9:30 a.m.; Gatineau Mustangs vs. Almonte Thunder at noon; Ottawa West Golden Knights vs. Stittsville Rams at 2:30 p.m.; Clarence Creek Beavers vs. Perth Blue Wings at 5 p.m.; and the Wolves vs. Metcalfe Jets at 7:30 p.m.

Almonte is the defending Valley Division champion while Ottawa West won the conference title in 2014. The Golden Knights lost the EOJHL in game 7 by a 3-2 margin to the Rideau-St. Lawrence champion Casselman Vikings in a game that went to double overtime.

The Wolves held their fair draws Sunday.

Annette Miller of Renfrew won the $100 draw and Dzidke Sodecki of Killaloe a season pass.

The Wolves $500 draw will be held Friday, Dec. 19.

Mark Swansburg topped Pembroke golfers with rounds of 76 and 76 for 151.

Pacing Mississippi was Craig Scissons at 73-80-153, while Mike Hogue was Deep River’s best with a 77-79 tally for 156.

The win for Arnprior came in a milestone year as the golf club is celebrating its 90th anniversary.

Next year Mississippi is host. It will also mark the 100th anniversary of their golf club.

The Gordon Cup began when J.P. Gordon of Renfrew donated a prestigious piece of hardware named in his honour for Ottawa Valley golf supremacy in 1930. That came one year after the Renfrew Golf Club was established.

Sports - The Arnprior Golf Club has been on a roll in 2014.

Back in August, Arnprior captured the O’Brien Cup, emblematic of ladies golf supremacy in the Ottawa Valley.

On Labour Day weekend Aug. 3031, Arnprior closed out the month victorious once again.

This time, on their own turf, the Arnprior club won its fourth Gordon Cup men’s title in five years – and by a good margin – 82 shots.

Arnprior finished the 36-hole, two-day, 85th event with a score of 1,819, based on consistent rounds of 910 and 909.

Well back in their rearview mirror was runner-up Pembroke 920-9811,901, Mississippi third 978-9831,961, Renfrew in fourth 991-1,0081,999 and Deep River 1,012-9942,006.

Renfrew last claimed the big prize on the home greens during the town’s 150th anniversary in 2008.

Former Renfrew club champion and Gordon Cup team member Dwight Reinhart matched Arnprior teammate Allen McGee’s 137 twoday total of last year, to lead all golfers at this year’s tournament. Reinhart did so with rounds of 68 and 69 to finish five-under par.

Arnprior’s top five competitors shot lower than any of the other four club’s top performer.

Playing in his 44th Gordon Cup, Rob Warren led the Renfrew Golf Club with rounds of 82 and 71 for a 153 total.

Other Renfrew scores were Jamey Larone 79-79-158, Tim Lemoyre Jr. 87-75-162, Steve Mulvihill 80-83163, Richard Barr 81-83-164, Paul Wren 80-87-167, Pat Holmes 85-82167, Kip Mulvihill 85-86-171, David

Sports - Howard Dietzman is bicycling from Vancouver to Ottawa, and then back home, which is about a hour outside New York City.

You may have recognized him a couple of weeks ago.

The 81-year-old from Hillsborough, New Jersey made his way through the Ottawa Valley, along Highway 17 Aug. 26 and 27.

There is no fundraising involved.

“It’s for my pride,” he said, and Dietzman enjoys it. “I have bicycled across the U.S. three times, and once from New York to Alaska.”

Dietzman has nothing but good things to say about Canadians.

“When I was 15 years old, I was brought around through Banff. I was impressed by their sincerity, their friendliness and their hospitality. They are nice people,” he said.

“In some ways, I wanted to see if that was still the case, and it is,” he added.

“People have helped me out in various times of trouble. Maybe they didn’t know I was in trouble,” he said with a laugh.

Dietzman has gained friends and supporters in Julie Resmer and family, who live about halfway between Haley Station and Cobden.

Dietzman needed a break when attempting the Vancouver to Ottawa portion of his trek a year ago.

He happened to stop at Resmer’s hoping to use the front lawn for a sleep.

They did one better, offering him a warm place to sleep and a meal.

On Aug. 26 of this year, he made a scheduled stop.

“Several families like Julie and Mike have invited me in.

I’ve asked about shelter during rain storms and they invited me in and treated me like family,” Dietzman said. “I think that’s really impressive.”

Dietzman calls this, PETER CLARK/METROLAND his third time, as his Howard Dietzman, riding en route from Vancouver to New Jersey, spent a charm trip. night at the home of Julie Resmer and family near Haley Station.

Are you more like MacGyver than Mike Holmes?

Sherry Haaima sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News – Have you inadvertently wrecked your house in the pursuit of home renovation? HGTV Canada and Mountain Road Productions would like to hear from you. “Are you or someone you know more like MacGyver than Mike Holmes?� asks Merrill O’Malley, casting assistant for Mountain Road Productions. “We’re casting Ontario-wide to uncover the strangest wackiest, most extreme solutions to home repairs ever seen and would love to film in the Ottawa Valley and West Carleton. We are looking to tour your town for the best of the worst jerry-rigged fixes, and highlighting one homeowner who will receive a major home renovation.�

A casting call has gone out to the Ottawa Valley for un-handy homeowners with an eccentric, unconventional approach to home repairs. “The best of the worst will be featured in the new HGTV Canada series, I Wrecked My House, hosted by comedian Steve Patterson,� said O’Malley. “We want people who are fun, don’t take themselves too seriously and are willing to be put on the spot a bit. The more of a character they are, the better.�

And, of course, being subjected to the ribbing won’t come without reward – by participating in the show, homeowners will have a chance to receive a major home renovation for free.

And why return your empties for a refund? Just punch a few holes in that beer can and it makes for a perfect shower head. Now that’s worth more than five cents! Who says you can’t install used linoleum on the kitchen walls for a backsplash? Why waste good flooring! Or use that trusty duct tape in place of caulking around the bathtub.

A look at Renfrew County grist mills through the years Bromley Historical Society

Grist mills played a significant role in the settlement of Upper Canada and Renfrew County was no exception. Cameron Trueman, the miller at the historic Watson’s Mill in Manotick, will be the featured speaker at a meeting of the Bromley Historical Society on Sunday, Sept.

14. The talk will take place at 2 p.m. in the Old Town Hall, 498 Micksburg Road, Osceola. A history teacher by training, Trueman has worked at Waton’s Mill for six years. “I used to tell my students that history always has a kernel of truth in it,� he said in a recent interview. “I feel especially lucky to be working at a

mill that has a history of 154 years behind it. Today, Watson’s Mill recreates for visitors what it was like to grind grains by water power and stone.�

Many of the mills in Renfrew County have disappeared. The Campbell and McNab Mill in Douglas and the McLaren Mill in Osceola are just two, the first destroyed by fire in 1986 and the second by a court ruling in the early 1900s. Like the mill in Manotick, both these mills drew upon the waters of adjacent rivers for their power. They provided an important service for the local farmers, and brought people to the villages seeking employment. Many of those people’s descendants still live in Bromley Township and Renfrew County.

“Mills often drew on the Scottish skill for stone masonry and the American ingenuity of Oliver Evans who developed and perfected the template for mills,� Trueman added.

“The mills contributed to the export of agricultural products across the new country and overseas. Although the design remained the same, over the years grist mills adapted to what

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, September 11, 2014 41

A great blue heron comes to town Emon 2014 honorary campaign chair for UW Kayla Rekowski sent us this interesting message.

I was walking out of my garden home on Renfrew Avenue West; I noticed a few of our elderly neighbours were staring at the front door of a house two doors down from us. They whispered that there was a great blue heron watching its image in the window.

I thought they were firstly playing a joke, or a little out of it on this hot day as it looked like a garden ornament to me. But, then it moved, turned around and was staring right at us and it appeared very uneasy.

It is unusual thing to see this beautiful bird so far from its normal habitat even though we are very close to the millennium trail, where there is swamp and marsh. I thought it may have been injured or searching for a feeding territory.

Thank you for the story, Kayla.

Strange but not unusual behaviour for an immature blue heron to wander in search of its own food source, but on someone’s front porch that is unusual. The bird would have seen its own image in the glass and have perceived it to be a rival for the territory, thus the uneasiness.

Herons can be dangerous when claiming a territory.

Birds and animals are becoming more tolerant of people and are found in unusual places when searching for food.

Hi, Jim and Ila: I have families of robins, hairy and downy woodpeckers, grosbeaks, both evening and rose-breasted, and today a belted kingfisher came and perched in a tree along the shore of the Lake.

It stayed long enough for us to get a good look at him.

Judith Myer, Otter Lake, Quebec.

Thank you, Judith. Kingfishers have some interesting habits.

They teach their young to fish by catching a live minnow and stunning it on the branch of a tree and then dropping it into the water for the young to catch. They also build a nest at the end of a tunnel in a sandbank (often beside bank swallows) and fish as much as two miles (three km) from the nest.

the absence of wing bars, the heavy finch bill, the absence of a black face mark and its presence at the sunflower feeder leads us to conclude that the bird is an immature cardinal.

The bill is changing from black to orange and appears pale yellow.

The immature rose-breasted grosbeaks, both male and female, immature cardinal, male and female purple finches, blue jays and goldfinches at your feeders make for some excellent birding.

BOBOLINKS GATHER

On a recent outing Marlene Hanneman saw a flock of 100-plus bobolinks.

These numbers are very impressive as this species has been on the decline for the past several years. The birds gather in grain fields to feed during the day and roost together at night.

Migration, when it begins, takes place at night with the birds feeding and resting during the day.

They will remain for several days building up their fat reserves if food is plentiful.

Bobolinks are known as rice birds in the southern United States where they gather to feed in the rice paddies before moving on across the Gulf of Mexico to Brazil and northern Argentina.

SPOILED SEED

Barb and Bill Carrier found that the small finches were not feeding at their Niger seed feeders and wondered if it was possible that the seed had spoiled during the summer.

They said the feeders, Niger seed and sunflower, were side by side and that the jays and mourning doves were at the feeders as well.

We suggested they move the feeders several feet away from one another (as we did with our feeders) so that the jays and mourning doves, aggressive birds, would not frighten the small finches away.

So far it has solved the problem.

ability to help all age groups, and all of our communities,” says Warden Emon. “They need our support to assist, our neighbors, our families and our community.

Greater Madawaska Attention Taxpayers and Voters

Raising Confident Kids

Thursday, September 18, 2014

Greater Madawaska Ward One As I travel the back roads of this Township Ward One. Private roads with larger populations need attention and brushing and spraying programs in place. Private roads are sole responsibility of the residence on it. These land owners pay taxes the same as we do. The township has a responsibility to these citizens. They provide fire protection and require a safe and proper entrance to these places. These residents pay taxes? Like the rest of us they are victim to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) with unfair treatment of property taxes, but this should not be a paralysis.

Many of our roads need fixing, paving is now costly, so tar and chip may be the solution. The township could provide brushing service and grader service for those who can afford to pay by gravelling roads and township grade it, but brushing could be the township share. This is not an overnight project but a long project.

DECEMBER

Reading Baby Cues

We need better service and help to make things happen, senior housing maybe a mall etc. Good plans should be given fast priority. In regards to the rink going ahead we could have Senator Alumni look at it. If budgets will not allow large road projects gravel and tar and chip, and brushing leave them as they are. Better than nothing. We cannot sit any longer and let the world go by. We need an action plan.

Remember it is one thing to criticize another to step forward. No election signs. No newspaper ads, my reasons are simple. Your choice, what do you think? Smell what’s cooking.

Community - Do you have what it takes to be a star? Have you ever wanted to get on stage and sing your heart out? If the answer is yes, then the Valley Search for a Star contest may be just for you, and could be your first stop towards a career in the music business.

Presented by Valley Heritage Radio and Wellcraft Music, the contest is open to anyone 14 years or older who has a passion for singing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is who weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for â&#x20AC;&#x201C; talented

Pembroke Community Choir welcomes new season, new members Community - If you like to sing, the Pembroke Community Choir (PCC) would love to have you join its dedicated members who meet weekly from September to April to prepare to share choral music with the community.

The 2014-2015 season is getting underway this month. Registrations are being accepted at the first three rehearsals of the season: Monday, Sept. 8, 15, and 22.

During the fall session the choir will be rehearsing for its annual

people who are passionate about singing,â&#x20AC;? said Valley Heritage Radio station manager Jason Marshall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re holding this contest in hopes of finding that special someone who has a chance to make it in the music business, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to give them the break they need to get their foot in the door.â&#x20AC;?

The grand prize package may just be the boost the winner needs to test the waters of a singing career. Valued at more than $5,000, the prize includes a two-song professional recording session at Wellcraft Music, a song release to at least 50 radio stations across the country,

Christmas concert in early December. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concert will feature traditional Christmas favourites.

The choir rehearses each Monday night from 7 to 9 at Wesley Community Church, 210 Renfrew Street in Pembroke (one block south of Pembroke Street Wes, corner Moffat).

There are no auditions, and the ability to read music is helpful but not necessary.

Full-year registration of $75 for adults and $50 for students or additional adult family members entitles the singer to participate in both the fall and winter sessions, or either one of the two.

The winter session, which begins in January, prepares for a spring con-

RCAF 433 Wing celebrating 60th anniversary this year Don Barkey

Community - Although we are celebrating our 60th anniversary, there was another milestone during this special year.

We have been in our current location now for 25 years.

Yes, in 1989 our old location was being sold, therefore it was decided that we should find a new home. We moved into these new facilities in June 1989.

The executive at that time consisted of past president Ivy Thacker, president Kent Gauthier, first vice Garnet Thompson, second vice Jerry Fawcett, third vice Don Barkey. The secretary

treasurer was Paul Allen.

These are the people who made the decision to buy the old arena. Then, of course, there were the volunteers. With a lot of hard physical work, they transformed Argyle Street to the home we have today.

Some of these people include Denis Patient and his son Brad, Kent Gauthier, John Lacharity, Don Barkey and sons, and countless others who gave of their time and energy. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Thanks to these people, 433 Wing has become the envy of all other Wings in Canada and certainly a comfortable facility for our 653 air cadet squadron.

The Wing also has a weekly bingo and we donate a large portion of the proceeds to our hospital, the hospice and other organizations in our community as well as bursaries to our two high schools. We have a rather large hall and it is available for concerts, weddings, and large parties.

We also have a TLC (tender loving care) program whose tireless chairperson and her committee find medical equipment through donors, for patients who have come to us for assistance.

Who can forget our TGIF Fridays? Thanks to our entertainment committee and our kitchen volunteers we can party hardy. The Wing

invites everyone in our community to join us at our public functions and enjoy the friendly atmosphere in our lounge.

The 433 Wing is also inviting all of its members and non-members to our tree planting at the RCAFA park on Sept. 20 at 11 a.m., at the river at the end of Hincks Street.

A light lunch follows in our lounge.

To conclude, I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the past presidents, previous executives and all the wonderful volunteers who have made it all possible through thick and thin and helped us all through from 1954 to 2014. You all deserve three cheers and a hearty toast.

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, September 11, 2014 47

NDP defence critic Jack Harris to speak to NDP in Eganville Sept. 17 News - With security issues very much in the news, the Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke NDP is hosting an annual meeting at 7:30 p.m., Sept. 17 at the Eganville Legion, featuring the party’s defence critic Jack Harris.

Harris will speak on the NDP view of military matters and what the NDP are up to in Parliament.

At the meeting the local NDP will also elect delegates to attend the Nov. 14-16 provincial convention; approve resolutions to be submitted to the convention; and start preparations for the 2015 federal election.

GUEST SPEAKER JACK HARRIS

Harris has distinguished himself in Parliament as a dogged and well-informed voice on military, security and veterans’ is-

sues. He was first elected MP for the riding of St. John’s East in 2008 and re-elected in 2011.

He was Leader of the New Democratic Party of Newfoundland and Labrador from November 1992 to May 2006.

He served as a Member of Parliament (1987-88) and a Member of the Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly from 1990 to 2006.

He earned a bachelor of arts degree from Memorial University, a bachelor of law degree from the University of Alberta and a master’s in law from the London School of Economics.

Admitted to the Bar of Newfoundland in 1980, Harris has practised in the areas of criminal, labour and family law and general practice, with a major emphasis on labour

law. In the 1990s, he successfully represented former residents of the Mt. Cashel Orphanage before the Hughes Inquiry and in lawsuits against the Christian Brothers and the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador arising out of a major sexual abuse scandal.

He has received awards and honours, including the Schumiachter Award for Advocacy, Western Canada Moot Court Competition Winner, Viscount Bennett Scholarship-Law Society of Alberta, Rothermere Fellowship, Canada 125 Medal, and the Queen’s Jubilee Medal in 1992.

P

Sunday morning fire destroys home near Constant Creek News - Sunday morning, Sept. 8 a fire broke out on a residence along Highway 41 just past Constant Creek.

Deputy Fire Chief Darryl Wagner received the call at 6:30 a.m. and firefighters were on the scene less than 15 minutes later.

By 8:30 a.m. the fire had been kept fairly controlled and in the main structure.

The crew worked to keep it from spreading to the side addition at the right, and Deputy Chief Wagner was keeping a close watch on two large propane tanks on the delta side of the house.

The metal roof was causing the crew problems, as it was holding the fire in and preventing the workers

from reaching it.

Deputy Chief Wagner said he had called an excavator to pull the roof down so his men could get under it. The cause of the fire is undetermined.

The house had been built and lived in by Wagner’s grandparents, Bill and Eva Lambert, and he was sad to see it destroyed in this manner.

Police were also on the scene to direct the Sunday morning traffic along the busy Highway 41.

Paramedics were on the scene to help the fire crew if medical assistance was needed.

The fire department remained on the scene until 11:30 a.m.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you belong to a community you should contribute, and for me this is a way of contributing, by injecting my ideas and my energy into it,â&#x20AC;? says Emon, who has been on Greater Madawaska council since 1988.

If elected, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d also be the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s county council representative and be able to pursue a third term as county warden.

His political experience tells him Renfrew, like other municipalities, will have to form more

municipal partnerships to thrive in Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ nancially-challenging times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like politics,â&#x20AC;? says Emon, who is a community mental health crisis worker.

DEALING WITH PEOPLE CONSENSUS-BUILDING

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like dealing with people. I like ďŹ nding resources for (solving) problems and challenges. I like matching that stuff up, and I like community development.â&#x20AC;?

Also, he says this campaign should be less about what council has done wrong, and much more about how to improve the

If elected to Renfrew council, he says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d bring ideas, consensus-building and communication skills. Emon says council also needs to establish early priorities that are tied to the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s asset management and ďŹ nancial sustainability plans.

Those priorities, he suggests, should include better communication within council and with the community.

It also appears much better communication is needed between the Renfrew Industrial Commission and the town, says Emon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both have to sit down and agree on something and work towards it, and bury the hatchet, and preferably not in each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back, which is what has been happening.â&#x20AC;?

He says RIC and the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village can be parts of a strong community development plan.

Lifestyle - It has been a very exciting and, as expected, busy opening week for Joseph’s High School!

Before the 2014-2015 school year even began, students and staff were busy at work.

The annual Grade 8/9 orientation was held Aug. 28 and allowed both new and returning students to pick up timetables, tour facilities, and learn a bit about their upcoming high school careers from fellow students, teachers and administrators. Family and friends also enjoyed a barbecue provided by Knights of Columbus volunteers.

The executive student council has been named for the upcoming year, and are very excited about their new roles. Abby Hall will be taking over the role of prime minister. The position of spirit minister is held by Kathryn David, and the position of public relations minister by myself, Emma Crozier. Finance ministers are Kailyn Friske and Paige McGuire, and Erin Humphrey has accepted the role of secretary.

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, September 11, 2014 53

Tour to help determine railway bedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - A fact-finding tour of abandoned railway beds in Grey and Hastings counties by Renfrew County officials is part of the continuing process to develop a recreational trail system on the abandoned Canadian Pacific railway bed running through Renfrew County.

The visits occurred in late July to discover lessons learned and development stages for abandoned railway beds. The visiting officials were Jason Davis, manager of forestry and GIS services for Renfrew County; Bob Sweet, Petawawa mayor and chairman of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s railway liaison committee; Renfrew County chief administrative officer Jim Hutton and development and property director Paul Moreau.

Davis, along with Sweet, gave an overview of those visits at the Aug. 27 session of Renfrew County council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know there are a lot of municipalities out there wondering where we are going,â&#x20AC;? Sweet told county council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to be transparent about this particular situation,â&#x20AC;? added Sweet. He acknowledged the railway bedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future will impact many municipalities and stakeholders.

Renfrew Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canadian Pacific advisory committee continues to seek feedback on how other municipalities have pursued the development of abandoned railway beds.

Sweet says the local advisory committee members, which include Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe of AdmastonBromley and Reeve Don Rathwell of Whitewater Region, are also very willing to visit county municipalities to outline how this process is unfolding and to hear any local concerns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reason we went down there (to Grey and Hastings) was the simi-

larity in the trails,â&#x20AC;? said Sweet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were both abandoned, so I thought it would be a great opportunity to find out how they operate and what they did to acquire the lines. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to invent the wheel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there were some things we were thinking of doing, we would ask about that, and were perhaps channelled in a different direction, or advised to make sure we got a summary of the condition of the structures.â&#x20AC;?

The tour delegates also asked questions about the governance model annual costs, volume of trail use, and how certain challenges were mitigated, so Renfrew County doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make similar mistakes when they develop the abandoned Canadian Pacific railway bed, after it is purchased.

Renfrew County is negotiating this fall â&#x20AC;&#x201C; along with the other host municipalities of Lanark County, the City of Ottawa and Papineau-Cameron â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to obtain the corridor that runs from Smiths Falls to Mattawa.

The major part, about 170 kilometres, of the 302-km railway line is within Renfrew County.

One of the interesting findings from the tour, said Sweet, was that the farming community learned they could use the abandoned railway bed to access their own farm land. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the most part, I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite a bit of compatibility with all the land-use owners along the trail.

We saw where the trails went through urban and rural environments, suburban, close to recreational facilities.â&#x20AC;?

With the tour, Sweet says the county delegation saw that the railway beds have become well-accepted sites for recreational activities, and for a lot lower management costs than anticipated.

For example, Hastings Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual management cost for its abandoned railway line is $25,000, which was used last year as seed money for $140,000 in grant money

Davis said Hastingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 140-kilometre railway bed was purchased for $100,000 in 1999, unlike Grey County that paid $1.50 for an abandoned railway bed.

Grey Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual maintenance costs are $75,000, which includes an annual application of four kilometres of stone dust.

Over Hastings Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 140 kilometres, there are only five gates, unlike Grey County where a conservation authority overseas the trail and has allowed for more gates.

Davis also talked about partnerships, and how they have helped shoulder costs for upgrades on both trails.

It is unknown what the purchase price will be for the abandoned railway bed, but that should be determined this fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have our ideas and thoughts, and without divulging any strategy going forward, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to sit downâ&#x20AC;? said Sweet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be some stiff bargaining on the part of CP, and I understand that, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re certainly going to get the best deal we can for the partnership along the line.â&#x20AC;?

There has been huge interest expressed by various user groups, among them walking, butterfly, snowmobile and ATV clubs, said Sweet.

The late-July delegation also saw advertising opportunities on the trails, where signs directed trail users to retail businesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great opportunity for signage, which is a revenue generator,â&#x20AC;? said Sweet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a great opportunity (overall). I think we have to work hard to maintain the continuity of the line (without breaks in the line along the way).â&#x20AC;?

The CP railway bed was officially abandoned about two years ago, but minimal rehab and equipment cleanup remains to be done.

tain level, will result in closure of the lake by the Ministry of Health for all recreational purposes, and as a water source, Taylor explained. Fortunately, that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the case this time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Increases in algae and weeds are primarily the result of the levels of phosphorus in the water. Phosphorus levels in the lake are mainly the result of human activity,â&#x20AC;? the WLPP noted in the letter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once phosphorus levels become high in a lake, it is virtually impossible to rectify the situation.â&#x20AC;? A new 200-site trailer park is proposed for White Lake at Bennettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Point.

News - There are growing concerns for a number of lakes in the region, among them Muskrat Lake.

Another is White Lake.

On Aug. 27 in Calabogie, Greater Madawaska council heard from the newly-created White Lake Preservation Project.

The WLPP sent letters out to all property owners on White Lake. A survey was also sent out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The organization was formed because we have concerns about the current and future condition of the

lake, and would like to be proactive in assessing its condition and taking measures to protect it,â&#x20AC;? property owner and chairperson Janet Taylor told council.

Taylor, Doug Smith and Conrad Gregoire head the project, and attended the council meeting. Taylor said algae and weeds are major concerns. There were two algal blooms on White Lake in 2013, one in the spring and a blue-green algal bloom in late September. Both were confirmed by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment.

Blue-green algae can be accompanied by toxins which, if above a cer-

100 YEARS FIRST WORLD WAR

Diana Wakely Royal Canadian Branch 148 Renfrew

Well, here we are at the end of another summer. Not the kind we are used to, but what can we do when Mother Nature has the upper hand?

As the new publicity officer for the branch, we want to thank Randy Dowdall for the work he has done.

Branch 148 has been very busy with weddings, stag and does and many other events.

The lounge has had entertainment out on the patio despite the weather.

Great news, the new chairs have arrived so come and enjoy the new seating.

Remember to check our outdoor board for all the upcoming entertainment and events.

The Dave Palfreyman Memorial Golf tournament was a huge success.

A big thank-you to all our sponsors who graciously donated the prizes.

This year is the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War. There will be many milestones acknowledged.

The branch paraded on Aug. 4 with the assistance of the Renfrew Pipe and Drums to the cenotaph for a sunset service.

Through the rain, thunder and lightening, veterans of the Second World War, Korea and Afghanistan, plus members with the assistance of the public, placed candles on the cenotaph in memory of those who lost their lives. The lowering of flags and placement of wreaths will recognize these events throughout the year on the war memorial.

On Sunday, Sept. 7 a wreath was placed on the cenotaph for the Merchant Navy Veterans Day of Remembrance.

During the Second World War 25,343 merchant ships, with 164 million tons of cargo on board,

sailed from North America to Britain on the Atlantic Ocean.

The Canadian Merchant Navy alone lost one seafarer in eight of out the 12,000 who faithfully served their country.

REMEMBRANCE CONTEST

Again we are sponsoring literary, black and white, colour poster and a video contest with the theme Remembrance. It is open to all Canadian students, including home-schooled children. Information kits are available at all the schools plus at the Legion office 30 Raglan St. S. The deadline for entries is Nov. 10, 2014 to be judged at the branch level.

a barbecue from 2 to 6 p.m. and everyone is welcome. Thursday, Sept. 25 we will be hosting a wine and cheese event. Everyone is welcome.

On Sunday, Sept. 28 there will be a closing barbecue from 2 p.m. on.

MUSEUM

We have a wonderful museum of memorabilia and we are inviting you to come and see. The museum will be open during Legion Week from 2 to 4 p.m. and Randy Dowdall will gladly show the exhibits. We are inviting the schools to come and have a tour. This will help them with their remembrance theme for the annual contest.

During that period, a free workout is offered to all visitors along with the option of taking out a membership with a free first month. The female-only facility, says staff member Lynn Ripley, is “all about taking time for ourselves” when many women say they don’t have the time. The focus at the club is on half-hour workouts, in a fun and enthusiastic setting.

Community - The third annual A Time Up the Line fundraiser for the Glasgow United Church is at the church in Glasgow Station Sunday, Sept. 14 from 2 to 4 p.m.

The old-tyme country concert is described by organizers as “a good excuse to bring folks together to celebrate our common Otttawa Valley – culture, history, music and togetherness.”

The concept began three years ago when ‘Valley Troubadour’ Lyle Dillabough mentioned during a live radio interview that the Glasgow United Church was amongst several buildings in the Valley that he felt drawn towards.

Grace Yantha-Blimkie (a member of Glasgow United Church) called the station right after and said, “You can come a put on a concert at our church anytime you’d like,” and thus it all began.

The first A Time Up the Line concert was a huge success. So it was held again last year with the same result.

“It seems that there is a great need in the hearts of many to return to a more simple community-minded event where the audience can feel more like participants then merely onlookers,” says a new release from the organizers.

“Although the show and performers are professional the atmosphere is more of a big livingroom or family-type of event. (Kinda like what the old-timers once called a “Doo”) Well-known musician/broadcaster Leben will co-host the afternoon with Dillabough.

Leben will bring along some of his music buddies to provide backup and Dillabough will be joined by long-time friend and legendary Valley keyboard player Bernie Costello. Costello has appeared at each of the two previous A Time Up the Line concerts and is a big hit with the audience there.

“Be sure you bring along Bernie!”

Yantha-Blimkie said.

And what old-tyme event would be complete without an old-fashioned pie auction? Many of those home-made treats will be auctioned off downstairs in the church after the show.

The event begins at 2 p.m. and admission is by donation. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.

“We hope that you can make it and have a real ‘Time’ along with us,” says Dillabough.

People are invited to contact Grace Yantha-Blimkie at 613-432-6092 for more information.

Horses of all kinds at the Renfrew Fair

The judge looks on as Kate Stewart of Stewart Farms in Douglas shows in the miniature mares three years and over competition.

PETER CLARK/METROLAND

Abby Legault, aboard Tulsa, and Taylor Noonan riding Lucy Loo, compete in the light horse competition Friday morning.

White Lake Continued from 54

The new camp site will be located by a provincially-protected wetland, Taylor said.

The camp site will include a marina and swimming pool; will require a significant sewage system, draw a large amount of water from the lake, and add significantly to boat traffic.

“The trailer park application is somewhere in the review process.

But it appears that the public comment period may be over,” The WLPP said.

Taylor would like to get the neighbouring townships of the lake together to discuss these things.

Smith said they would appreciate an expression of support from Greater Madawaska for the concept of what the WLPP is doing. They hope to get a Trillium grant to do a study on the lake.

“This (council’s support) will go a long way in helping us get a Trillium grant.”

It would show that a large number of people on the lake are interested, and that councillors are involved, Smith added.

“That is exactly what they are looking for, for granting fairly large amounts of money for ongoing research. And it benefits everybody,” Smith added.

Mayor Peter Emon said council will support the WLPP’s Trillium grant application, which is to collect information on the condition of the lake, to identify areas of vulnerability and to implement stewardship programs, land use planning and policy approaches to protect and improve its condition.

More information is available on the website wlpp.ca.
