The Ottawa Valley welcomed Olympian Melissa Bishop home with open arms on Sept. 10.

Despite the rain more than a thousand people lined the streets of Eganville to watch the parade.

More than 200 vehicles, walkers, horses, a band, floats and many more participated in the parade in her honour.

Bonnechere Valley Township also proclaimed Saturday Melissa Bishop Day in Eganville and the County of Renfrew is also working on a role model award in her name.

Bishop was overwhelmed with the support and called it pretty incredible. She almost couldn’t even get a moment to herself before it all started. “I just ran over to go pee and I could hardly get out the door without a few pictures,” said Bishop. “So it’s been pretty nice to come home and see everybody.”

It was hard for her to put into words what all of the support has meant to her. “I wish there were other words for thank you but my gosh when everyone is out here

braving the weather, it’s raining unfortunately, but we are not going to melt,” said Bishop. “So just a really big thank you for their continued support, their unconditional support, no matter what.

I could have come home in 30th place and I still would have got a welcome home like this.”

Bishop competed in her second Olympics in Rio as the reigning Canadian 800m champ but finished fourth with a time of 1:57:02, just shy of a medal.

“I’m still reeling with the race,” said Bishop. “It’s not something I am quite settled with yet. Obviously the support from home and all of Canada is making it okay.”

Her goal now is to compete at the Olympic Games in Toyko in 2020. Although fourth place was not what she wanted, she had a great time in Rio. “They put on a great Olympic Games and the media unfortunately built it up into something that wasn’t going to be as good as it was. It happens all the time with the Olympics,” said Bishop. “We had a great time, my family had a great time, it was a really successful event.”

Renfrew’s Terry Fox Run set for Sept. 18 at Ma-Te-Way Park Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

Terry Fox had a dream of a world without cancer.

This Sunday, there will be more than 800 Terry Fox Runs taking place across Canada to help realize this dream.

On Sept. 18 at the Renfrew Terry Fox Run things will get started at the Ma-Te-Way Active Centre with registration from 11 a.m. to noon.

The opening ceremony will kick things off at 11:45 a.m. followed by a stretch session with Ottawa Valley Physiotherapy and the run officially starts at noon.

Tanya Campbell, one of the event organizers with Sheena Pilgrim, encourages people to come out to take part the day of the event.

“There is no minimum amount you have to raise,” said Campbell.

“You can come out and make a donation the day of the event and participate.”

At the Renfrew event, participants will hear from Michelle Pougnet who was diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer on May 29, 2015, which had spread to her lymph nodes.

TIFFANY LEPACK/METROLAND

Michelle Pougnet and Tanya Campbell hold the Terry Fox flag as they prepare for the run on Sept. 18. The flag is presented to the school that raises the most money for the Terry Fox Foundation.

She feels this event, which raised $20,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation in 2015, is important.

“It gets the community involved and working together,” said Pougnet. “Cancer doesn’t discriminate, any little bit that you can help.”

She acknowledges that one in four women will get cancer and she didn’t think her tumour was cancer.

“When I found it I thought I would err on the side of caution and get it checked. Within a month

I knew I had cancer.”

She feels speaking at the event will help educate people.

“Our kids need to be aware this is happening in our community and it can happen to anyone,” said Pougnet. “My kids have learned a lot and I’ve tried to include them in the discussions.”

She started treatment in September of last year when she under went six rounds of chemotherapy and 30 radiation treatments, which

resulted in her losing her hair and fingernails.

“It inspires me to continue to do what I do. This is why I do it - for people like you, that’s why we do this, ” said Campbell. “This is my 12th year helping organize it and I will continue to do it because I see the results the Renfrew Terry Fox Run yields and I see how the funds raised are making a difference. Part of the better survival rates can be attributed to the research.”

Pougnet had her chemotherapy at the Renfrew Victoria Hospital and calls the staff there an extended family.

“It’s beautiful and the staff are awesome,” said Pougnet. “It’s intimidating but they make you feel really comfortable.”

She is well known in town as her husband owns Doug’s Automotive.

She says the community of Renfrew has been amazing.

People have brought her handmade quilts, food, flowers and good luck charms.

“I was so touched and overwhelmed by the kindness and support by the community.”

When she told her husband Doug, he was in shock.

“He is my best friend and I am

really lucky to have him,” said Pougnet. “Anything I want, he’s taken really good care of me. He was there to hold my hand and change my bandages.”

Pougnet’s cancer has not spread and she is feeling good. She even got to ring the bell to mark her final treatment.

“I was afraid when I stopped. I was afraid of being done because my cancer is really aggressive I wanted to keep going,” she said describing her mixed emotions when she was done her treatment.

“I think if I kept going my success rate would be higher. It’s never over, I have doctor’s appointments and I get anxious.”

She admits she has trouble sleeping, some nerve damage and feels tired a lot.

“But I am pretty fortunate, it could have been a lot worse.”

Pougnet said early detection was key and it is important the money raised at the run goes toward research.

Since Fox started his Marathon of Hope, more than $700 million has been raised world wide in his name for cancer research.

Township of Horton welcomes new chief administrative officer Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

The torch has officially been passed in Horton.

Mackie MacLaren has stepped aside as the township’s chief administrative officer (CAO) after more than 30 years.

Sue Klatt is the new CAO for the township. Her first day on the job was Sept. 1.

Mayor Robert Kingsbury officially welcomed her at the township’s regular council meeting on Sept. 6 as MacLaren watched from the back. He will be staying on during the transition until the end of October.

Klatt, who was last with South Algonquin Township, was officially announced as the new CAO at the end of July.

South Algonquin Township Mayor Jane Dumas says she was very pleased to have the opportunity to address Mayor Kingsbury, council and staff at their July council meeting to endorse their selection of Klatt as their CAO/clerk.

She also thanked them for supporting an extended transition period so that Klatt could continue supporting her township until they selected her replacement.

TIFFANY LEPACK/METROLAND

Horton Township’s new chief administrative officer Sue Klatt is welcomed by Mayor Robert Kingsbury.

“Sue is a knowledgeable municipal administrator. She will represent council, members of the community and municipal staff of the township with integrity and respect. She will work hard to ensure the best outcomes for the township,” said Dumas in an email to the Renfrew Mercury. “As mayor I valued the above noted qualities as well as Sue’s honesty and her ability to look at creative solutions.

Sue is a ‘people person,’ a team builder and she understands the significant challenges that small rural municipalities face these days.”

While at South Algonquin Township, Klatt served as the deputy treasurer for four years and the CAO/clerk for three years.

She served at Madawaska Valley Township in Barry’s Bay for eight years and started out volunteering at the township.

She also worked in asset management, was the accounts payable clerk and coordinator for emergency management.

She prides herself in being involved in the community and enjoys giving back through her numerous vol-

unteer positions, including as chair of Timberfest, with Relay for Life and at her church.

“I love the people here and that they have a very active volunteer group,” said Klatt.

“I am also impressed they have so many shared services with other municipalities.”

She says she is very policy driven and wanted to be a CAO for a rural municipality.

“I wanted a municipality that had advantages of being close to urban areas but also had a small rural lifestyle with a close-knit community,” said Klatt.

She is also a member of a number of associations, including the Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers where she is a mentor.

“I am a firm believer in mentors and cross training,” said Klatt.

Klatt was born in Sudbury and grew up in St. Charles.

She attended Cambrian College where she earned her diploma in early childhood education. She has since received her diploma in municipal administration and her certification for municipal officers.

She says she knows the area well as has close ties with friends and her extended fam-

ily living here.

Kingsbury is impressed with her efforts so far.

“I think she’s doing fantastic,” said Kingsbury. “She comes to us with a lot of experience with a lot of fresh new ideas and I think they will be put to good use at this time in Horton’s history.”

Klatt is married with two children and five grandchildren. Some of her hobbies away from the office include hunting and cooking.

Two face robbery, assault charges in Renfrew Two people are facing charges after a victim reported property was taken from her by force and she was assaulted by the suspects.

Renfrew Ontario Provincial Police report that on Monday, Sept. 5 at approximately 2 p.m. the victim was on Raglan Street South in Renfrew when a male and female known to her grabbed a bag from her and stole items.

The suspects turned themselves in to police later that day.

A 32-year-old female and 30-year-old male, both of Renfrew, were each charged with assault and robbery. They were released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew on Oct. 26. Provincial Const. Tina Hunt investigated.

OPP REPORT

The Renfrew detachment of the OPP investigated 260 calls for service during the past week.

Renfrew police lay drug charges On Sept. 2, members of the Organized Crime Enforcement Bureau - Drug Enforcement Unit (DEU), Emergency Response Team and Renfrew OPP detachment executed two Controlled Drugs and Substances Act search warrants at two residences.

One location was on Francis Street and the second on Renfrew Avenue West, both in the Town of Renfrew.

At Francis Avenue, police located small amounts of cannabis marijuana and cocaine. Methamphetamines were seized. Paraphernalia indicative of trafficking was also seized. At the residence on Renfrew Avenue West, police seized paraphernalia indicative of trafficking.

In this case the victim was advised they would receive money from the CRA when they provided personal information including their Social Insurance Number (SIN), banking and credit card information. The information

was provided before the person realized it was a scam. All cards were cancelled and no financial loss occurred.

Officers also dealt with an individual who had someone use their name to obtain a cell phone at a kiosk in a mall. One other person received a letter from someone claiming to be able to produce wealth and happiness for a small fee. No funds were exchanged.

Horton Township responds to Renfrew County official plan amendment Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

It is no secret the Mayor of Horton Township is not pleased with the proposed addition of 11,959 acres of agriculture designation to his township.

He and his colleagues around the council table have been working hard on their official response to the County of Renfrew’s official plan amendment and will be meeting with officials next week to present their findings.

A large map of Horton hung in council chambers at their regular council meeting on Sept. 6, showing approximately 4-5,000 acres shaded in red. The shaded areas are set to change to agriculture but the council disagrees with the move and would like the land to maintain its rural designation.

The determination is based on a number of meetings of first an ad-hoc committee and then all of council.

“We took a look at what is proposed as agriculture land and wanted to determine if it was agriculture or other,” said Mayor Robert Kingsbury. “In reviewing the areas and knowing the areas, we reviewed the land and marked

TIFFANY LEPACK/METROLAND

Horton Township Mayor Robert Kingsbury examines a map the council has been working on in response to the County of Renfrew’s proposed official plan changes. it in red.”

He thinks the land they have marked is not conducive to growing any agriculture product.

“They comprise of swamps, gullies, forest, treed areas, rocks, that’s what those areas in red are,” explained Kingsbury. “We (the coun-

cillors) know the area.”

Also marked on the map are a number of sections the councillors have shaded in blue - these are areas the township hopes through zoning bylaw amendments will become commercial. Kingsbury referenced a study from the 1989 of-

ficial plan review, which stated that Horton had zero class one land.

“Now they are saying we have the land. Where did we get it?” asked Kingsbury.

The councillors have a meeting with representatives from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture,

Food and Rural Affairs as well as staff from the County of Renfrew, next week.

“We want to show them this map and take them around the township,” said Kingsbury. “To show them the land that is being used for agriculture and show them the size.

We are taking smaller farms here and they will go back and review and then they will come back to us.”

Kingsbury said that the changes proposed by the county will inhibit growth in the township.

“You need growth in order to spread the cost of running the township,” said Kingsbury. “This agriculture designation will hurt us because you won’t have growth.”

The County of Renfrew held seven public meetings on the proposed changes, including a wellattended meeting in Horton.

Written comments on the plan must be received by Sept. 30 via email: officialplan@countyofrenfrew.on.ca or by mail to planning department 9 International Dr., Pembroke, ON, K8A 6W5.

Measles cases confirmed: ‘keep your shots up-to-date’ Staff

The confirmation of three measles cases in Ottawa and Lanark has prompted the Renfrew County and District Health Unit (RCDHU) to urge people to ensure their children’s immunizations are up-to-date.

Ottawa Public Health (OPH) and the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit (LGL) are investigating three related cases of measles in unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated individuals.

The health units are working closely with local health care pro-

viders, hospitals and the province to contact individuals and families who may have been exposed to the infectious cases.

The Renfrew County health unit notes that the risk of contracting measles in Renfrew County is low for those who have been vaccinated.

HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS

However, given that measles is highly contagious, it is “very important that you ensure your measles immunization is up-to-date, it says in a news release last week.

It also urges parent to report

to public health every time their child is vaccinated.

Measles is a virus that lives in the nose and throat mucus of an infected person.

It can spread to others through coughing and sneezing. The infection is more severe in adults and infants than in children and can lead to ear infections, pneumonia, swelling of the brain and even death.

It is possible that members of the public were exposed at either CHEO Aug. 22-28 or the Ottawa Hospital Aug. 23-24 to the three people stricken with measles.

THINGS TO WATCH FOR

SYMPTOMS

The health unit is asking people who have not previously had measles or have not been fully vaccinated, and who might have been exposed in those areas to: • watch for any signs and symptoms of measles; • avoid contact with individuals who are at high risk for complications of measles (infants less than 12 months of age, pregnant women, and people with weak immune systems) for 21 days after exposure date; • contact the Health Info Line at 1-800-267-1097, ext. 666.

Early symptoms of measles may include fever, cough, and tiny white spots in the mouth.

Within three to seven days, a red blotchy rash will appear, first on the face and then spreading to the body, arms and legs.

If you think that you or a family member has measles, contact a health care provider immediately.

Be sure to call ahead to let the health care provider know that you are coming and suspect that you may have measles. For more information about measles or immunization, visit www.rcdhu.com.

New commander Myers Volkswagen for OPP East Region HOT SUMMER PREOWNED SALES EVENT Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) superintendent Chris Harkins, former commander of the fleet, supply and weapons services bureau at OPP general headquarters, has been promoted to the rank of Chief Superintendent and named Commander of OPP East Region.

FILLS VACANCY

Chief superintendent Harkins fills the vacancy created by the retirement of the former Regional Commander, Dan Redmond.

“Chief Superintendent Harkins brings vast and varied experience to his new role. He has a strong understanding of the issues, challenges and opportunities facing not only the members of the OPP, but also the residents of Eastern Ontario,” said Deputy Commissioner Gary Couture, Ontario Provincial Police.

Originally from the Pembroke area, Harkins has been a member of the OPP for over 26 years.

He has served in the Killaloe and Upper Ottawa Valley Detachments, has been commander of the Physical Surveillance Unit, Section Manager of the Analytical Section of the Provincial Operations Intelligence Bureau, deputy director of the Organized Crime Enforcement Bureau and as Executive Officer for three former Deputy Commissioners and a former Provincial Commander. Harkins is a graduate of the Rotman School of Management Police Leadership Program and of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police Global Studies Program.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Learning from our fair friends Fun’s over: time to get serious.

School’s back, the plus 30-degree weather has finally drifted away and fair season is over.

With the last of the Renfrew County fairs wrapping up in the ‘Frew Sunday, it truly is back-to-work time. No more fooling around.

There is plenty to do. All this construction work has to be finished before the s… flies (sorry about using the S word so early, but there have been flurries already in Alberta).

There’s the county’s new official plan to finalize. No easy task to come up with a consensus considering the strong contradicting opinions expressed at the public hearings.

Every one of our area’s municipalities has challenges facing them this fall, not the least of which is how best to get the provincial government back on track with four-laning of Highway 17 up the Valley and persuade it to do something more than removing the sales tax to ease the ridiculous increases in electricity costs.

Renfrew has to decide how to proceed with improvements to the downtown streetscape and infrastructure given the inevitable hangover that’s coming after all the recent projects subsidized by federal and provincial grants and cost-sharing.

There’s plenty of change in Horton as the township tries to learn how to survive without Mackie MacLaren. Several municipalities are trying to figure out if joint recycling/ garbage tenders are feasible and all rural townships are facing the daunting task of figuring out how to come up with budgets that include another substantial boost for policing costs.

So hopefully, our municipal leaders have returned from the summer break refreshed, re-energized and ready to do battle for their constituents. If they want inspiration on how

to proceed, they could do well to take heed of the wonderful example provided by the worthy folks (almost exclusively volunteers) who brought you fairs in Renfrew, Beachburg, Cobden and Arnprior this summer.

The celebrations of rural life play a major role their communities’ identities and are full of lessons to which we all can relate.

The fairs demonstrate that rural folks can succeed if they are resourceful.

Fair organizers can’t control the weather, but they can certainly adapt on the fly when it threatens their event.

The fairs also remind us of the importance agriculture plays in Valley life. They show that if you offer good clean family fun, people will come.

They prove that rural residents can host major events that are both entertaining and educational (you don’t have to go into the city, where it will cost a lot more, to have a good time).

While the major acts draw in the crowds, it’s heart-warming to see people respond so positively to the local entertainers given a chance to shine in places such as the Valley Stage at the Renfrew fair.

But most of all the fair organizers show that if we want something done right, we shouldn’t depend on Toronto or Ottawa for funds or guidance. If we have strong and innovative leadership on the local level, we can get things accomplished, and have fun doing it.

So thank you, organizers of the Renfrew, Cobden, Beachburg and Arnprior fairs.

You’ve provided a shining example of how to get things done despite the challenges and uncertainties thrown at you by an increasingly unpredictable Mother Nature and ever more complex urban-centric society.

Kudos to you all.

This magnificent Eastern Wolf was howling and barking to tell the strange wolf (a.k.a. me) that it was not welcome in its territory.

A day of nature revelations There is a cairn on Canoe Lake in Algonquin Park dedicated to Tom Thomson, the famous Canadian artist who drowned in that lake.

On it resides an eloquent epitaph written by friend and fellow artist J.E.H MacDonald. One verse states that Nature “revealed itself wonderfully to him.”

Recently I had a day when Nature did just that for me.

It was a cool and misty predawn when I arrived at Algonquin Park’s Argue Lake. Soon I was watching a large Beaver groom itself atop a feeding bed a mere 30 feet away. It was too dark for photographs but I was content just to watch.

Suddenly the silence was broken by the howls of wolves, emanating somewhere near the far end of the lake. I waited a few minutes after the magnificent chorus ended, and then I howled. The pack replied immediately.

I wanted to wait until sunrise before looking for the wolves. Half an hour passed and then dawn broke.

I quietly paddled my canoe to the far end of the lake, still shrouded with mist. Once there, I scanned nearby slopes for wolves, but saw none. I howled from my canoe and soon the wolves replied, but to the east.

With adrenalin coursing through my body, I watched to see if one might make an appearance. Excitement peaked when two dark forms scrambled down a nearby hill. But the animals were black, and Eastern Wolves are rarely that colour.

A Beaver slapped its tail, informing me that the dark animals had entered its space.

Moments later, four Otters came snorting and huffing past my canoe, sticking their

heads out of the water like giant periscopes to get a better view of me.

Half an hour passed and no wolves, so I paddled back to my car. I then struck out on foot, following an old logging road that ran parallel to the lake. I walked slowly and quietly, stepping on moss whenever possible.

After a while I left the road and bushwhacked eastward, moving slowly and avoiding stepping on sticks.

Eventually I came to a large pond. After several minutes of scanning, I spotted the head of a large wolf sticking out from Bracken across the pond from me. It stared in my direction, but I was hidden.

I howled, and it stood up and walked into full view. It howled back and began to bark, an indication that it was the pack’s dominant leader telling the intruding wolf to leave their territory.

I barked back, and the wolf responded even more aggressively. After several minutes of exchanging vocal affronts, the beautiful animal walked away, content that the impudent intruder was not going to cross the pond.

It has been 26 years since I last had a chance (unsuccessful) to photograph a howling wolf.

Thus, I was ecstatic to finally achieve a longstanding goal. I was also delighted over my encounter with Otters, plus getting a pictureperfect shot of a Ring-necked Duck taking off in the mist. I pinched myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming; it was indeed a morning when Nature revealed herself wonderfully to me.

Suffering from Diabetes?

Diabetes, one of the most common condition in our current day and age, can often turn into a “silent killer” in advanced stages. During the initial stages we are having many uncomfortable symptoms associated with this condition which interfere in one way or another with our lives. However in advanced stages diabetes can contribute to prolonging our suffering and often healing journeys are incredibly challenged and can even be fatal.

I personally observed my grandfather suffer for many years from the ill effects of diabetes, where a wound wasn’t healing, which led to the amputation of a toe and later on even of his leg. Finally, as we see all too often, I saw, what used to be a strong vibrant man,my grandfather giving up and suffering to his final days.That was unfortunately well before I knew about Heilkunst.

Diabetes is what I’d call more a challenging by-product of our industrial revolution era. In the majority of cases we can do a lot to try and prevent it - and by this I mean ourselves - not the Doctors. Lifestyle and of course eating habits are considered to be the main culprits in the prevention or the management of diabetes. Stress and emotional challenges should not be overlooked or discredited to be doing their influential part as well.

Of course, just as with many other chronic conditions, the moment one organ is chronically challenged or damaged, it will have an effect on other organs as well.This is how the vicious cycle often starts.

Our Heilkunst treatment will look at all facets of the diabetic condition, from prevention, hereditary challenges, life styles, nutritional habits to pain management. We will look at organ rejuvenation and will try to bring back a proper organ function of your pancreas. Our Live Blood Analysis will help assist any nutritional deficiencies, so you know where to put your money and efforts to rebuild your body, rather than shooting stars by taking a lot of supplements not knowing whether you actually need or benefit from them.

I helped many people manage their diabetes to prevent any medication as well as bringing individuals off the needle to manage their diabetes just with medication. Can you imagine how grateful they are to have this new peace of mind?

Can YOU imagine what kind of new freedom and peace it would be if YOU could also personally benefit from our treatment? Not even to mention how happy your spouses, children or loved ones would be to see you manage this condition in a new way. Take Control…Experience Heilkunst!

Trees and plants were also vandalized in the downtown core. The Renfrew BIA encourages anyone with information to contact the OPP.

Report acts of vandalism to police says BIA To the editor:

Renfrew’s main street (Raglan) has seen a recent rash of vandalism.

Lighting, flowers, shrubs, fences and benches have been vandalized and pieces of each are found up and down the street.

A lot of work and money is spent to make Raglan Street interesting, vibrant and our street is appreciated by visitors and townspeople who make very kind remarks about the efforts of the Business Improve-

ment Area (BIA). In fact, downtown Renfrew is mentioned a lot throughout the County of Renfrew and beyond.

The BIA doesn’t want to give in to the individuals who apparently have no agenda but to destroy public property. What can be done to stop this disturbing vandalism and unruly behaviour? We ask that if you see any acts of vandalism that you report the information to the Renfrew Ontario Provincial Police.

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, September 15, 2016 15

HOME, GARDEN & RENOVATIONS 2016 Expect incredible sweetness, flavour from this year’s Ontario apple crop A hot and dry Ontario summer with plenty of sunshine is translating into an extremely sweet and flavourful apple crop this year.

It’s sunshine that changes starch levels in the apple into sugar, so this year’s apple crop is expected to be one for the record books when it comes to sweetness, according to the chair of the Ontario Apple Growers.

“I’ve been growing apples in Ontario for 40 years and these are the sweetest apples we’ve ever had,” says Charles Stevens, who farms near Newcastle, Ontario. “If ever there has been a year for Ontarians to enjoy the great taste of Ontario apples, this is it.”

Unlike several recent years, apple growers were not hit with any frost damage this year, which impacts fruit size and shape, and there also haven’t been any significant hail events to affect the crop.

Perfect pollination conditions in the spring followed by plenty of warm temperatures got the apples off to a good start, and although drought conditions in some parts of the province’s growing regions will result in some smaller sized apples, the overall crop is looking promising with volumes at normal levels.

“The size of the apples will depend on the location of the orchard and whether or not growers received rain or were able to use irrigation,” explains Stevens. “Some very timely rains in August in most areas of the province have made all the difference for the crop this year.”

Consumers are encouraged to look for the Foodland Ontario symbol when buying local apples, which will be widely available in the fall and throughout the winter months.

There are approximately 15 different varieties of apples grown on 15,000 acres in Ontario. The province’s major apple-producing areas are along the shores of Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. The farm gate value of the Ontario apple crop is approximately $60 million, which includes sales to fresh and processing markets as well as on-farm/pick-your-own.

The Ontario Apple Growers represents the province’s 200 commercial apple farmers. Visit www.onapples.com for recipe ideas and grower profiles, or follow Ontario Apple Growers on Twitter and Instagram (@ontarioapples) and Facebook (facebook.com/ OntarioAppleGrowers).

HOME, GARDEN & RENOVATIONS 2016 Energy-efficient ‘passive’ homes promoted in Renfrew County A ‘PassiveHouse’ in McNab-Braeside was one of the homes featured in the Green Energy Doors Open tour on the weekend.

The home at 96 Libbys Rd. was open for inspection all day Saturday as part of the province-wide showcase of ‘green’ energy ef-

ficient homes.

The demonstration PassiveHouse is being built on a 10-acre property just off of McLean Drive.

EkoBuilt owner and contractor Paul Kealey said the home demonstrates the funda-

mental simplicity of the PassiveHouse concept.

The house is “surprisingly affordable” considering it has the latest technologies, says the company, adding that it is easy to build and operate.

EkoBuilt designs and sells 13 different passive house plans and companion materials kits. Its demonstration home is based on the 2,500-square-foot Trillium model with four bedrooms and three bathrooms.

The open house emphasized: • the real differences between PassiveHouse and conventional homes; • the simplicity of EkoBuilt’s PassiveHouse construction; • how EkoBuilt’s construction methods result in affordable pricing; • why the sustainable 21st century home must be affordable to build and to run.

Tips for putting your garden to bed The Canadian winter climate can take its toll, but with the proper fall maintenance you can set your lawn and garden down for a rest.

“After a busy summer of mowing and maintenance, your lawn and garden will need some special care before the snow falls,” says Michelle Sordi, director of marketing for Husqvarna. “You can however, jump start your spring chores for growing a healthier garden.”

To ensure your garden survives the winter and has the ultimate spring awakening, the pros from Husqvarna recommend the following steps: • Clean up the area: Be sure to remove any dead foliage, this will prevent a difficult spring cleanup and overgrown weeds. Harvest everything above ground in the vegetable garden to avoid attracting animals and pests.

• Protect your shrubs: To help keep your shrubs healthy, generously water them before wrapping in burlap for the winter. When wrapping, work your way from the bottom up to prevent the bending of branches in an unnatural form.

• Fertilize before the frost: Your grass will

start to slow its growth so it is important to fertilize it with the appropriate nutrients to survive the harsh months ahead.

Also, the clippings from the final mowing should be left on the lawn as mulch to help protect the delicate crowns of the grass plants and lock in nutrients.

• Take it indoors: Some plants fare better indoors during the winter but before you make the switch, immerse the pots in lukewarm water to help remove insects and prevent other unwanted critters from transferring into your home. Also check the leaves of the plant and give them a quick rinse as an added precaution.

• Store your tools properly: Last, but not least, remember to clean all your gardening tools thoroughly before storing them indoors.

Use soap and water to remove residual dirt and dried-on materials from tool surfaces. Be sure to drain the fuel from mowers as gasoline left in fuel tanks will break down, leaving deposits and build-up that will plug up the fuel system. Additional lawn and gardening tips can be found online at www.husqvarna.

Benefit dance for Ryan Boothby Sept. 24 in Cobden Sherry Haaima

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

A Cobden area family is rallying around one of their loved ones and asking the community to get in on the efforts.

Twenty-three-year-old Ryan Boothby was just getting back to his seasonal job as a heavy equipment operator at Bonnechere Excavating Inc. this past May when he was diagnosed with Hodgkin Disease, a type of lymphoma.

Throughout the winter, he had experienced a rash, night sweats and weight loss that prompted him to get checked at the doctor.

His aunt Tracy Martin said the family is no stranger to cancer.

Her mom is a breast cancer survivor, her father passed away in February 2015 from lung cancer and she herself survived Hodgkins Disease 30 years ago.

Boothby, a graduate of Opeongo High School and former Renfrew Walmart employee, began treatment on July 6 and will undergo sessions every two weeks for the next six months, explained Martin.

Because his employment is seasonal with no health benefits and he is unable to work while undergoing treatment and traveling to his many medical appointments, Boothby could use a financial boost, she said.

A benefit dance is being planned for Sept. 24 at the Cobden Agricultural Hall and already there’s been plenty of support for the event, said Martin. People are happy to help out such a good guy, she said.

“He’s a pretty outgoing kid with a beautiful smile,” said his aunt. “He’s a hard worker and he loves his job.

He’s looking forward to getting back to it.”

He’s a pretty outgoing kid with a beautiful smile. He’s a hard worker and he loves his job.

TRACY MARTIN

When Martin faced her battle with cancer, she was overwhelmed by the love and support.

She’s hoping to envelop her nephew with the same strong support she received, in part with the dance that’s being planned.

“We felt it was the right thing to do,” she said.

“When I was 14 lots of my family and friends came together and had a dance and ball tournament. That’s what family is for.”

She regularly calls and sends text messages to Boothby to let him know he’s not alone in his fight.

The dance will run from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Cobden Agricultural Hall at 42 Astrolabe Rd. at the Cobden Fairgrounds.

“We’re hoping for a good time and a great turnout,” said Martin.

The event will feature a light lunch and activities, including a Toonie Toss and draws.

There have already been donations from a number of local businesses and more contributions are always welcome.

Live entertainment will be provided by Limit and Steve Agnew and tickets, available for a $5 donation, will be available at the door.

Countrymen, three others to become hall of famers Sept. 25 Staff

The Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame is set to induct four new members including the Countrymen, who have been one of this area’s most popular bands for 55 years.

The induction will be held at a gala ceremony hosted by two Valley Heritage Radio personalities at the Centrepointe Theatre in Nepean on Sunday, Sept. 25. Valley Heritage radio general manager Jason Marshall and afternoon DJ Christa Pare will serve as emcees at the gathering that begins at 7 p.m.

Following in the footsteps of Mac Beattie, the very first musician inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1981, are the Countrymen, Gord Barnes, Clarence Bowes and the late Jim Hickey.

They will be inducted in the Hall of Fame’s 35th anniversary awards show and induction ceremonies.

In addition to recognizing the lifetime contributions of the four inductees, the event’s organizers promise country music fans an evening of some of the best entertainers the Ottawa Valley has to offer. “We’re excited about our 35th anniversary show and we can promise you a great evening of entertainment as we induct our 2016 Hall of Fame members,” said the Hall of Fame organization’s president Jim Long.

“We will be recognizing their many achievements and contributions that have furthered country music in our community.”

COUNTRYMEN

The Countrymen are celebrating their 55th year together in 2016, having formed in June of 1961.

The original members included singer Glenn Toner, Kent Smith on guitar, Bob Johnston on drums and fiddler Al Roach.

Al Brisco then joined the band a few weeks later and they began to play the Matawatchan Dance Hall every Saturday night.

The band then toured the bar circuit in West Quebec and made a name for themselves as great entertainers.

Through the years a number of very talented musicians have been part of the band, including a number of Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame members.

The Countrymen have also helped raise money for a number of local charities through the years.

CLARENCE BOWES Bowes knew from the time he was a young lad that country music would play a role in his life.

He fell in love with the sounds of Don Messer and Eddy Arnold coming from his radio, and further cemented his passion by watching local bands such as The Happy Wanderers and Mac Beattie.

Bowes still loves that type of music and plays it to this day.

He now plays lead and rhythm guitar with his four sons, The Bowes Brothers.

They tour the Valley far and wide and

Clarence takes an enormous amount of pride in their success.

Before joining his sons in 2000, Clarence was a member of Jim White and the Country Pals, mainstays at the Perth Legion every Saturday night for a decade.

He vows he will continue to keep playing music as long as folks enjoy it.

It was in 1988 that Barnes and Laredo was formed, and they toured all over Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec.

Barnes released a self-titled CD in 1991 and another in 2014. He plans to record a third CD very soon.

Through the years he has shared the stage Fleet and Heavy/Light Duty Equipment Maintenance with artists including Stonewall Jackson, Little Jimmy Dickens, Moe Bandy, Tommy Cash and Marty Haggard.

Request for Expressions of Interest

JIM HICKEY

The late Jim Hickey was a long-time musician who translated his love of fiddle music into one of the premier contests in the country.

He was a co-founder of the Pembroke Old Time Fiddling and Step Dancing Contest, which recently celebrated its 41st year.

Hickey’s reputation and gentlemanly ways became synonymous with the Labour Day weekend event.

Prior to the contest, Hickey was a competitive fiddler himself and travelled the region with the Art Jamieson Band, sharing his joy of music with the people of the Ottawa Valley.

He also composed the fiddle tune ‘The Willow Tree Hornpipe’, which was recorded by the late Graham Townsend and others.

In addition to the induction ceremonies, some of the Valley’s most talented entertainers, including Barnes, Bowes and the Countrymen, will take to the stage at Centrepointe throughout the evening.

The line-up also includes Mike O’Reilly, Freddy Dixon, Bruce Golden, John Henry Lacasse, Gail Gavan, Barry and Tracey Brown, Tim Hermitte, Louis Schryer, Pauline Brown and Friends, Nancy and Phil Denault, Arlene Quinn, Eddie & the Stingrays, Stephane Coulombe, Braedon Vincent, Buddy McCann, Rae Palmer, the Debenham Brothers, Lorne Daley, and Marty McTiernan.

This has been a summer to remember and the heat was only matched by the dryness. Even the golfers are ready for a cooler autumn. And then there is that ‘special’ group that yearn for a return to the ice and cold.

There is a special sound a rock makes as it glides over curling ice and every rink has its own pitch. It is the sweetest music to a curler’s ears.

Will the music be different this year at the club when the ice is ready is the question?

My usual intense summer preparation this year took a back seat to playing nurse, maid and cook to my curling partner as she recovers from a hip replacement surgery. It was fun playing chauffeur too once I bought those noise cancellation earplugs. She caught on to the headphones I was wearing too quickly…… And no, I won’t take it easy on her when she finally is ready to try out her bionic hip on the ice.

And speaking of curling, yes, it is that time of the year to start the registration process. Digital registration and payment is available online at the new club website https://renfrewcurling.ca.

As well, new and returning curlers are invited to an open house this Friday, Sept. 16 at 7 p.m.

Besides being able to see the fantastic renewed facilities, there will be people available to answer questions for interested new curlers. Others are available to accept payment and registration forms and answer questions regarding the new curling manager software that will handle all club communication, leagues and spiels as well as registration this year. Friday night community league registration will also take place on a first come, first served basis with preference given to returning teams.

Renfrew Timberwolves split games during opening weekend Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

The Central Canada Hockey League Tier 2 opened its regular season over the Labour Day weekend at its annual showcase event.

The Renfrew Timberwolves came out of the showcase even with one win and one loss.

“Overall it was a good weekend,” said Mike Riopelle, head coach. “It was a little rough in the first game and we came together in the second game and built some character.”

On Sept. 2 the Timberwolves were easily defeated by the CharLan Rebels 6-0 at the BellSens Plex.

“I think the newer kids were a little nervous,” said Riopelle.

“We got a few non-calls early and I think the emotions were running high.”

Goalie Ethan Lapenskie played the entire game, making 19 saves.

“He wasn’t bad but it wasn’t his best. A lot of the goals were not his fault,” said Riopelle.

On Sept. 5 the team got in the win column with a 3-2 victory over the Clarence Beavers.

Connor Fulton scored two goals for the Timberwolves.

“He’s one of the veterans, he stepped up and played well,” said Riopelle.

Andrew McIntyre picked up the winning goal with seven seconds to go.

“Jerim Ryan carried the puck from our end, went around their defence, shot it on net and Andrew had the rebound,” said Riopelle. “It was pretty nice.”

Jeremy Bibeau had the win in net with 30 saves.

Renfrew defenceman Nolan Rook (right) keeps close tabs on Samuel Ferland of the Char-Lan Rebels on Sept. 2, during the CCHL2 Opening Showcase tournament in Kanata.

Char-Lan won the game 6-0, but the Timberwolves bounced back on Monday to beat the Clarence Beavers 3-2. Renfrew’s home opener is Tuesday, Sept.

13, when the Arnprior Packers visit the MaTe-Way Activity Centre at 8 p.m.

NEXT GAMES

The Timberwolves have three games this week.

“I think if we continue doing what we did in game two we can win,” said Riopelle.

The first game is the home opener on Sept. 13 against the Arnprior Packers. On Sept. 15 they travel to the city to play the Ottawa West Golden Knights and they are back home on Friday, Sept. 16 when they host the Prescott Flyers with an 8 p.m. puck drop.

Renfrew grandmother among demolition derby winners Sherry Haaima

Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

The 162nd edition of the Renfrew Fair kicked off with a wet and wild demolition derby that saw a Renfrew grandmother among its winners.

Mary Ann Brewer, mother of three girls and grandmother of four, was the winner of the fourcylinder class.

Despite Wednesday evening’s rain, there was a large crowd on hand for the popular annual event.

Jessie Schultz won the six-cylinder class, Brian Cunningham took first place in the eight-cylinder division and Kody Anderson won the eight-cylinder pro class.

Kyle Walker of Haley Station won for best paint job.

This was the 16th demo derby for Brewer, who first got involved in 1996.

“The year I started, I was the first girl in the Renfrew derby,” she said. “I had seen a few and I really enjoyed watching them. I thought it would be a fun thing to try out.

Now, when it’s derby time, I get excited.”

To what does she owe this year’s win? For one, her 2000 Oldsmobile Alero performed well.

“I had a very good car this year.

It ran pretty great,” said Brewer.

“Other years I’ve driven I’ve either had transmission problems or motor problem or rotor problems.”

She was pleased with the ‘Minion’ design of her vehicle, as well.

“My youngest daughter Rachela Bertrand hand painted the images,” she said.

She is endlessly thankful to her family, as well as her boyfriend Jason Phinney, for all the held and support she receives for her derby efforts.

“My girls have been my biggest fans over the years,” she said. “And now my grandsons are getting involved, too.”

She’s also grateful for all the community help and well wishes over the years. “I’ve got lots of support from friends and family and even just people in the town.

Every year, people are like ‘Oh, are you going in the derby again?’”

In terms of injuries, Brewer has had some close calls over the years.

“Two summers ago, I drove minivans in a girls’ heat for Hog Wild and I got my head stuck in my seat,” she said. “I had whiplash and a concussion, but that didn’t stop me.”

She praised the efforts of the Renfrew Fair board, as well as Xtreme Productions, the company

Le ponceau structurel est profond et nécessitera la fermeture temporaire de l'autoroute 41 sur les lieux. L’autoroute 41 sera fermée aux routes Witt et Locksley avec accès local seulement, et la circulation sera détournée le long des routes Witt, B-Line et Locksley. Pendant ce temps, la circulation des camions sera détournée le long de la route de comté 24.

THE PROCESS

LE PROCESSUS

This Study was completed in accordance with the approved environmental planning process for a Group “B” project under the Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000) with the opportunity for public input throughout. A Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) has been completed which includes a summary of the undertaking, the existing environmental conditions, and the mitigation measures that have been developed to address environmental concerns.

Cette étude a été réalisée conformément au processus de planification environnementale approuvé dans le cadre d'un projet de groupe « B » aux termes de l’Évaluation environnementale de portée générale pour les installations de transport provinciales (2000), ce qui permet au public de faire part de ses commentaires tout au long du projet. Un rapport d’étude environnementale pour les transports (RÉET), qui contient un sommaire du projet, les conditions environnementales existantes et les mesures d'atténuation mises en place pour traiter les enjeux environnementaux, a été créé.

The public is encouraged to review this report.

It will be available on September 15, 2016 for a period of 30 days until October 19, 2016 at the following locations: Laurentian Valley (Town Hall) 460 Witt Road, Pembroke, ON K8A 3J5 tel: 613-735-6291 Monday to Friday: 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Friday and Saturday: 10:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.

Nous invitons les membres du public à examiner ce rapport.

Il sera accessible à compter du 15 septembre 2016 pendant 30 jours, soit jusqu'au 19 octobre 2016 aux endroits suivants : Laurentian Valley (hôtel de ville) 460, route Witt, Pembroke (Ontario) K8A 3J5 Tél. : 613 735-6291 Du lundi au vendredi : de 8 h 30 à 16 h Bibliothèque publique de Pembroke 237, rue Victoria, Pembroke (Ontario) K8A 4K5 Tél. : 613 732-8844 Du lundi au jeudi : de 10 h à 21 h Vendredi et samedi : de 10 h à 17 h 30

If following consultation with the Study Team, unresolved concerns with the project are identified, individuals have the right to make a written request to the Minister of the Environment (The Honourable Glenn Murray, 77 Wellesley Street West, 11th Floor, Ferguson Block, Toronto, Ontario, M7A 2T5) for a “bumpup” (i.e., make a Part II Order under the Environmental Assessment Act). A Part II Order request may lead to the preparation of an Individual EA if approved by the Minister. The Part II Order request must be received by the Minister of the Environment during the 30-day review period, and a copy of the request should be forwarded to the Ministry of Transportation and Morrison Hershfield at the addresses listed below. If there are no outstanding concerns after October 19, 2016 (30 days), the project will be considered to have met the requirements of the Class EA and may proceed to construction.

Si, à la suite de la consultation avec le groupe d'étude, des questions demeurent non résolues, les membres du public auront le droit de présenter une demande écrite au ministre de l'Environnement (I'hon. Glenn Murray, 77, rue Wellesley, 11e étage, Édifice Ferguson, Toronto, Ontario M7A 2T5) dans le cadre d'une demande de « dépassement » (c.-à-d., effectuer un arrêté prévu à la partie II en vertu de la Loi sur les évaluations environnementales).

Si elle est approuvée par le ministre, une demande d'arrêté prévu à la partie II peut mener à la préparation d'une évaluation environnementale (ÉA) distincte. Le ministre de l'Environnement doit recevoir la demande d'arrêté prévu à la partie II pendant la période d'examen de 30 jours et une copie de la demande doit être acheminée au ministre des Transports et à Morrison Hershfield aux adresses indiquées ci-dessous. Si aucune question ne subsiste après le 19 octobre 2016 (30 jours), le projet sera réputé avoir satisfait aux exigences des évaluations environnementales de portée générale et les travaux pourront commencer.

36 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, September 15, 2016

Summer learning at RCCDSB packed with fun and innovation Hundreds of students participated in a fun-packed, innovative program of activities at the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board (RCCDSB) this summer.

More than 200 students enrolled in RCCDSB’s summer program to boost literacy and numeracy.

The students, from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 7, attended classes at St. John XXIII Catholic Elementary School in Arnprior, St. John Bosco in Barry’s Bay, St. Anthony’s in Chalk River, St. James in Eganville, Holy Name in Pembroke, St. Francis of Assisi in Petawawa and St. Joseph’s High School in Renfrew.

“I was thrilled to be part of such a dynamic and innovative summer school program this summer,” said principal Amy Sicoli, who led the program with principal Clint Young.

“Because of the talents and experience of our amazing teachers, our program provided students with the opportunity to boost their literacy and numeracy confidence and skills.”

Sicoli noted that the program’s innovative math lessons sparked creativity in students and challenged their thinking and curiosity around math learning and problem solving.

“The integration of 21st-century learning and a focus on STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) was evident at

all our sites,” Sicoli said.

“Inquiry-based learning was also a pivotal part of our summer program, from our youngest Kindergarten children asking questions about the world around them to our intermediate students delving into self-directed e-learning,” she added.

The summer program also tested a game-based learning project for mathematics that was funded by the Council of Ontario Directors of Education (CODE).

“We used our summer CODE funding to assist with creating, implementing and evaluating a mathematics diagnostic test that can be used in primary and junior math,” said Dave Noble, the principal of SEF. Noble said the diagnostic was tested at Holy Name and St. Francis of Assisi schools by two teachers, Chantelle Spence and Rebecca Clarke, who had taken extra professional development in order to implement the diagnostic.

The diagnostic was designed by the K-12 curriculum co-ordinator Lynn Denault and implemented

by Lynn and co-ordinator Tracy Joyce.

“Our goal is to have an RCCDSB math diagnostic that will help educators to find gaps in student learning in mathematics,” Noble said.

“Once the gaps have been found, the goal will be to implement math-based games and ac-

tivities to help close those gaps.

We also hope to increase communication with our parents so that mathematics activities at home will become as common as reading to your child before bed.”

The CODE project also included promotion of healthy living for our students, Noble said.

Participants were involved in a variety of healthy living activities such as yoga, a field trip to the Best Western Hotel’s fitness facility in Pembroke and field trips to the grocery store.

More than 100 high school students also participated in elearning courses, which included Grade 12 Religion and Grade 10 Civics and Careers.

The summer courses allowed more room in students’ regular school timetables so that they can reach ahead to take Grade 11 courses, or get an early start in preparing for their careers or post-secondary education.

Principal Young noted that the summer e-learning courses allowed students some flexibility, although they had to meet deadlines and complete each course within 18 days.

“Kids are so tech savvy and the teachers are there if help is needed,” Young said.

Also, the teachers could track students’ progress.

“It was a very successful program,” he added. “Students did very well.”

Another program highlight

was a sneak peek for RCCDSB’s Grade 4 students at the board’s two high schools.

Forty-nine students participated in the Jaguar Camp at Saint Joseph’s in Renfrew from July 4 to 7 while 30 students attended Crusader Camp at Bishop Smith High School in Pembroke from July 11 to 14. The students had two sessions each of sports, science, robotics/music and outdoor education. Principal Young noted that two groups were very instrumental in the success of the summer school program.

“They are the board’s office staff, who handled the administrative responsibilities, and the Renfrew County Joint Transportation Committee, which arranged buses for the students.

We have great partnerships and we really want to say a huge thank

The summer learning experience also extended to more than 50 educators from across the RCCDSB who participated in a voluntary full-day math professional development session on August 29 in Pembroke. K–12 curriculum co-ordinators Lynn Denault and Tracy Joyce facilitated the learning for an enthusiastic Kindergarten–Grade 8 audience.

The day was an opportunity to provide new strategies and practical ideas that educators could add to their repertoires for the upcoming school year, explained Denault.

“I am always impressed by the dedication of staff to continue to implement the most current practices in their classrooms to support their students,” Denault added.

Nine and one-half tables of duplicate bridge competed at Ma-TeWay Activity Centre Sept. 7 in an afternoon that saw nine successful slams on 12 attempts across four different boards.

Bev Kobus and Margie Scheunemen were successful at six no-trump and six spades contracts and the team of Ruth Grant and Mary McCann were also double slam winners at six spades and six diamonds.

Kudos to all pairs making the trip to the rarefied circle.

In the Chalk Talk preceding the afternoon’s play, Carol Sulpher gave further explanation of the convention card that fronts score sheets.

Her focus was on the section dealing with leads. Once again, Carol reiterated that the areas highlighted in red must be alerted.

It is with great sadness that the family of Ray Goodyear announce his sudden passing on September 2 2016, at age 94. Ray will be sadly missed by his wife and best friend (of over 60 years) Holly Goodyear and their children, Julia McNaughton (Gerry McNaughton, deceased), Andrew Goodyear (Elizabeth Henry), his four grandchildren, Jennifer McNaughton, Cameron McNaughton, Raymond Goodyear and Tabatha Donegal. Ray was an honourary Uncle to Linda Munro-Hunter and her two sons, Geoffrey Hunter (Kelly Winterberg) and Matthew Hunter (Gabriella Hunter). Ray is also survived by his two brothers, Cyril and Frank Goodyear (Deer Lake, NL) and he is predeceased by two sisters, Hilda Cooper and Margaret Butt. Ray was born in Grand Falls, NL on July 28 1922 and was an avid outdoorsman throughout his life - hunter, fisherman, camper, builder of kayaks and canoes, and as with a lot of Newfoundlanders, was a gifted storyteller.

Two days after his 18th birthday, Ray volunteered with the British Navy and served all six years of WW II in the Pacific Ocean and North Africa. Even though his ship was blown up in the English Channel the day after VE Day, Ray survived without a scratch. Ray immigrated to Canada in 1948 and shortly thereafter started a long career (39 years) with Ontario Hydro.

Retired in 1987, Ray and Holly moved from the Toronto area to the cottage in Calabogie, and about ten years ago built a home in Renfrew. A graveside ceremony was held on Monday September 5 at 2:30pm at the Hilcrest Cemetery in Calabogie Ontario. Those who desire may make a memorial donation in Ray’s memory to Renfrew Legion #148, or to the ALS Society. Arrangements may be made through the Anderson Funeral Home, Renfrew.

You were a precious gift to us, With so much beauty, grace and love You touched our hearts in so many ways.

Your smile and unconditional love even on bad days.

You heard God’s whisper calling you home You didn’t want to go and leave us alone.

You loved us so much, you held on tight ‘till all your strength was gone.

And you could no longer fight So you gave your hand to God and slowly drifted away Knowing that with our love we will be all together again someday Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure, You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.

We love you Forever and Always, Mom. Hilda (Jim), Keith (Linda), Norm (Sue), Ann (Bob), Leonard (Jean), Brenda (Sam), Randy (Marjorie) and all your Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren. Also Ken (Patricia) and Family

COADY, Sean Douglas Remembering my fun and loving brother… my best friend… who left this earth, much too soon, September 16, 2006.

Ten years have passed…

Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you and wish for one more laugh, one more hug.

Time passes… the grief remains, but I know that you would say…

Keep my memory with you, For memories never die.

I will always be there with you, When you look up in the sky.

When your heart is heavy And you feel you are alone, Reach deep down inside yourself For your heart is now my home.

I will always be there with you I will never go away I will live on within your heart Each and every day.

“In my mind I see you and in my heart I keep you…”

COADY, Sean Douglas In loving memory of our dear son, who tragically was taken too soon, September 16, 2006.

Every day our hearts are filled with sorrow, Wondering how we will make it through tomorrow.

Our time with you was precious, And the memories we have are too.

The love we share together keeps us close to you.

Maybe we cannot touch your hand or see your smiling face, Maybe we cannot hear your voice or feel your warm embrace, But, there is something we will always have, Tucked safely in our hearts, Our love for you… your love for us… will never let us part.

‘Tis a picture of a dear brother, Whose memory will never grow old.

Fireflies became a cruel game They were everywhere.

Glowing in the dark of the night. I wasn’t frightened of them. I was frightened for them. They were the many fireflies that came out in the heat of the summer and once darkness had settled in, they flitted around, not that far from the ground ... many little glowing lights, no doubt unaware of the danger awaiting them.

I was once frightened by the fireflies, but then my sister Audrey said they were simply tiny pieces of stars broken off by unseen angels and sent down to bring light in the darkness.

That made perfect sense to me, and certainly eliminated any fear I had.

What didn’t make sense to me and filled my veins with ice water, was how my three brothers could murder those harmless little flies. They were easy to catch, because they seemed to land on an arm, unaware of what lay in store for them. And this is when my three brothers would commit their murderous act, so that the poor creatures could no longer fly. They actually ripped the little bodies apart and put the small pieces of glowing light up and down their arms, until they looked like they were carrying many tiny little flashlights.

Then the brothers would tear around the yard like people possessed! They would yell and laugh, enjoying their murderous acts. I covered my ears

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

with my hands, so I couldn’t hear them and pleaded with Mother to stop their cruel acts, but that got me nowhere.

I would stay in the house, praying for Mother to say it was time to get ready for bed, and avoided even looking out the kitchen window, just in case I saw what was going on in the backyard.

Finally, it was bedtime.

Mother went to the door, hit the wooden spoon against the tin disc that hung on a nail that was used to call everyone in for meals, and one by one the brothers headed into the house, leaving the evidence of what they had been up to outside.

They were still talking about what a great night it had been when they had their glass of milk and cookie, and again, I put my hands over my ears to shut out what they were saying.

Being the youngest, I was always ushered upstairs before anyone else, and Audrey was right behind me that night.

She knew how upset I was, and tried to steer the conversation to something more pleasant.

But nothing could erase what I had seen in the backyard.

Finally, the brothers came

upstairs, and they had to pass through our bedroom, which was really a big hall, leading to their beds in the back room.

Emerson, whose mission in life seemed to be making my life miserable, came right over to where I was sitting on the side of the bed waiting for Mother to come and hear our prayers.

He thrust out his arm and there were the remains of one of the murdered fireflies! Of course, it had lost its glow. Audrey gave him a poke that sent him flying and told him to get ready for bed or he would be sorry! And right then I knew what I was going to pray for.

I was going to pray that the next time the brothers went out at night to catch fireflies, they would be attacked by a batch of wasps instead and, just maybe, their arms would fall off!

It took me a long time to fall asleep and when I did, I dreamed of angels breaking off little pieces of stars and sending them down to our farm in Northcote where they became fireflies. And I could see my brothers trying to catch them. But they soared way above the ground, and I dreamed I could hear the fireflies laughing.

Arts, athletics unite at Renfrew Collegiate RCI staff

Renfrew Collegiate Institute (RCI) Raiders of Grade 7 through 12 returned to school on Tuesday prepared to enter the classroom, hit the books, run the field, and participate in the clubs. While many students and staff moved from vacation and summer jobs to academic and athletic pursuits, various students and staff continued their plans for a special event hosted by the visual arts department and supported by the Renfrew County District School Board girls volleyball championship team.

In October the girls volleyball team will travel to Halifax for a high-calibre tournament. As they continue to raise money, they are excited to share their next fundraiser with the talents of the RCI visual arts department.

On Wednesday, Sept. 21 from 7 to 9 p.m., RCI art teacher, Natalie Stevens and Raider art students will be hosting an evening of social painting: a night of creativity and fun conversation. Art teacher Natalie Stevens will be leading guided, step-by-step instruction through the featured painting, ‘Someone Was Here.’

This event will take place in the RCI art room, #327 at a cost of $45. All supplies are provided. Participants may wish to bring a smock or old shirt. Painters should arrive at approximately 6:30 p.m. to select a seat.

Snacks and beverages will be available during the intermission. Limited spaces available and payment should be made prior to the night. To reserve your place contact Natalie Stevens: stevensn@rcdsb.on.ca or Kim Oattes: oattesk@rcdsb.on.ca.

Val Trotter/Susan Veale

Calabogie Highlands Golf Resort had an active three days of fun-filled activity at the end of August.

On Aug. 27 and 28, the club championships were held with 45 men and women competing for the various division titles.

On Aug. 29, Calabogie was host to the OVGA Senior Intersectional Division “J” Tournament.

Earlier in the season, the Women’s Senior and Super Senior Champion were crowned as Carol Collins played two amazing rounds to claim both titles.

Congratulations go to all our division and club champion winners and special thanks go to all members who participated in this event. A special mention was given to Don Swift who earlier that week had a hole in one

on hole number 14 and then again on Saturday in the Ultra Senior Championship, he birdied the same hole.

Division J of the OVGA Women’s Senior Intersectional included eQuinelle, Whitetail and Cedar Glen along with Calabogie. eQuinelle took the division title with 27 points followed in close second was Calabogie with 24, Cedar Glen with 18 and Whitetail with 15.

The Calabogie team consisted of Joyce Hatt, Diane Moynihan, Susan Veale, Laurie Ouellet, Donna Marie Kennedy, Peggy Keaney, Linda Cloutier, and Shirley Corneau. Donna Marie and Diane won all their matches and earned six points each. Special thanks go to Jayne Allerton and Veronika Evers who organized the day along with all the volunteer spotters and helpers.

General manager, Dragonfly Golf Links

On Sunday, Sept. 11, Dragonfly Golf Links hosted the second day of the Valley Masters Tournament between Oaks of Cobden, Whitetail Golf Club, and Dragonfly Golf Links.

For the first time in 10 years the team from Dragonfly was victorious. The format was a modified team person match play. Groups of six played with a two-person team from each club.

Two women, two juniors, two senior men, and 12 men make up each of the three teams.

Dragonfly finished with a nine-point margin of victory over perennial favorites from Whitetail Golf Club.

Now on to league results: On Tuesday the men’s team of MacDonald Glass ‘cut’ a great round to win A Class for the second week on a row.

Valley Automation and Controls continued their hot play winning B flight for the third time in four weeks.

The Yolkowski Hackers were the class of C flight for the second time in three weeks.

Kenneth Rennick was ‘dialed in’ to be closest to the pin on both #5 and #7.

Wednesday night’s play was highlighted by a couple of 63s. The first was in A flight by the team of Cobus Homes, and the second was from the winners of B flight, Deslaurier Custom Cabinets. Kevin Moran was closest to the pin on #5 and Pat Neville was closest on #7 All Men’s Night teams are gearing up for their closing tournament on Saturday, Sept.

17. The Ladies Closing day will be Sat Oct. 1. Unfortunately Ladies Night was poorly attended due to wet weather this past week. A few diehard teams slugged it out regardless of the dreary weather. Congrats to Bonnie Beattie who won closest to the pin.
