Don’t build an outdoor Storyland auction Saturday, pool, says new petition but fond memories live on Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Bishop has international breakthrough.

News - Renfrew Mayor Bill Ringrose says the controversy swirling around whether Renfrew should build an outdoor pool has become a political football.

Several recent letters to The Renfrew Mercury and town council dem-

onstrate widespread opposition to the project, but construction of an outdoor pool could still proceed.

The town has received one submission after seeking requests for proposal. After being opened late last week, it is receiving close scrutiny, says Mayor Ringrose.

News - Visits to Storyland are still a fond memory for retired Renfrew school teacher Patricia Kasaboski, who’s sorry to hear the chattels and other equipment at the children’s theme park are being sold.

The chattels are up for sale this

Saturday at a 10 a.m. auction, led

by Colin Latreille of Colin Latreille Auction Services in Kemptville, at the former theme park on Storyland Road, just east of Renfrew.

Everything’s up for sale from the theme park that local resident John Berkhout owned from 1975 until 2008.

Blue-green algae reported found in Muskrat Lake Whitewater Region Township

News - The Ministry of the Environment (MOE) has advised the Renfrew County and District Health Unit and Whitewater Region Township that test results of a water sample taken at Muskrat Lake, is positive for blue-green algae (cyanobacteria). When blue-green algae blooms are visible, there is a risk that the algae could produce toxins; therefore, using or drinking the water should be avoided,” says Dr. Michael Corriveau, Medical Officer of Health, with the Renfrew County and District Health Unit.

Toxins can irritate the skin and, if ingested, can cause diarrhea and vomiting. At high

enough levels, toxins may cause liver and nervous system damage.

Whitewater Region Township advises people using Muskrat Lake to be on the lookout for algae blooms. If blooms are visible: • Avoid using the water for drinking, bathing, or showering and do not allow children, pets or livestock to drink or swim in the water.

• Residents should not boil the water because boiling the water may release more toxins into the water.

• Residents should avoid cooking with the water because food may absorb toxins from the water during cooking.

• Residents should exercise

caution with respect to eating fish caught in water where blue-green algae blooms occur. Residents should not eat the liver, kidneys, and other organs of fish caught in the water.

• Do not treat the water with a disinfectant like bleach. This may break open algae cells and release toxins into the water.

• Residents should not rely on water jug filtration systems as they do not protect against the toxins.

• On lakes and rivers where blue-green algae blooms are confirmed, people who use the surface water for their private drinking water supply should consider an alternate, protected source of water.

The Ministry of the En-

vironment and the Renfrew County and District Health Unit will continue to monitor the water conditions in Muskrat Lake.

For more information, please visit the Ministry of the Environment website at http://www.ene.gov.on.ca/stdprodconsume/groups/lr/@

ene/@resources/documents/ resource/std01_079455.pdf or call the Whitewater Region Township at (613) 646-2282.

Bridges to Better Business

Power Up Your Business ... Innovate, Integrate, Motivate Enterprise Renfrew County

News - Enterprise Renfrew County (ERC) will host the 2013 Bridges to Better Business event under the theme Power up Your Business ‌.

Innovate, Integrate, Motivate! at the Renfrew Armouries on Friday, Oct. 25 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

This year marks the tenth Bridges to Better Business Event, in addition to Enterprise Renfrew County’s 25th anniversary as a Small Business Enterprise Centre serving entrepreneurs across the County of Renfrew.

Described by business con-

sultant, Colleen Sadler, “This annual event is a one-day learning and networking opportunity packed with great ideas to help entrepreneurs succeed. The event provides entrepreneurs with the opportunity to develop valuable networking contacts and share innovative ideas with their peers.� “The Bridges to Better Business event is an outstanding opportunity to recognize our entrepreneurs and celebrate the enormous contribution made by small and medium enterprises to the province’s economic well-being� states Warden Peter Emon

“Locally, over 80 percent of Renfrew County’s businesses are small and have up to nine employees. Small business, both locally and nationally, is where most new jobs are created. There is no doubt that much of the County of Renfrew’s success is due to the extraordinary contributions of small business.�

Keynote speakers Chris Emery and Larry Finnson are two of Canada’s great food entrepreneurs who are known for delivering humorous and inspiring presentations. As the creators of Clodhoppers candy they took Chris’ grandma’s recipe and developed it into a

multi-million dollar business.

Chris and Larry have been recognized for their sales and marketing techniques and success by business media such as CBC’s Venture, CNN’s Mavericks of the Morning and in Fortune’s Small Business magazine.

In 2012 they formed OMG’s Candy to introduce a new gourmet confection to the world. They appeared on CBC’s Dragons’ Den in February 2012 where they convinced marketing maven Arlene Dickinson to invest in their premium candy OMG’s.

The event is offered as part of the Ontario government’s

Music. The cost is just $45 (includes HST) which includes lunch, networking and participant kit.

Register by Sept. 30 for your name to be entered in a draw to win a tablet. For more information and to register visit www.enterpriserenfrewcounty.com or contact 613735-8224.

Storyland auction Continued from front

He bought it from friends and fellow Dutch immigrants Durk and Bonnie Heyda who founded the park in 1966.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Kasaboski was a teacher at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School in Renfrew and a fixture each spring, when she’d bring junior kindergarten and senior kindergarten classes to Storyland.

There was plenty to see and touch and be part of, whether it was the boats on the pond, the lookout that looked out for miles toward the Ottawa River, the mini-putt course, the iconic and literally-larger-than-life fairytale characters (such as Cinderella and the Seven Dwarfs), tea parties with Alice in Wonderland, the playgrounds and the puppet shows.

“It was just the atmosphere, with hands-on things, like the slide that was not too long and not too short,” says Kasaboski, now 82.

“The kids could do things themselves,” she adds, figuring today’s more automated parks elsewhere leave less for the imagination, less for the doing.

“I always enjoyed his park and what he had and what he (John Berkhout) did,” she says of the former owner. “It was sort of like a fairy tale.”

In 2008, Berkhout sold Storyland to Ottawa businessman Todd MattilaHartman who hoped to resurrect the theme park, whose attendance was

waning in recent years. But it was not to be.

Storyland, which had about 20,000 visitors in 2011, closed at the end of that season.

Berkhout says he won’t attend the auction, simply because Storyland holds too many good memories.

“I just don’t want to be there,” says Berkhout, who prefers to hang on to his more positive connections with Storyland.

“It just hits me too hard; too many memories.”

Like spending $12,000 in 1977 to expand the playground. “Twelve thousand dollars was a lot of money in 1977, especially when you just bought a business,” he recalls.

The next year he lost his wife, Maria, in a car accident. Then the recession hit, but Berkhout worked past it and into 1983, which was a very good year.

He got married, to Nancy, and he spent $100,000 on landscaping and an 18-hole mini-putt course, and started to experience better economic times, as attendance improved.

The new mini-putt course was in keeping with Berkhout’s philosophy of doing something different every year, just as he added the fairy-tale figure of Mary, Mary Quite Contrary in 1975 and the tree house in 1978.

“We always made very, very sure we added something to the park, no matter how small or how big it was,” says Berkhout, now 73.

Two of the best parts, he says, are the more than one million children who are walking around with memo-

ries of Storyland, and the friendships developed with the theme park’s staff members, who were either high school or college students.

Another family member with strong Storyland memories is his son Tom, who visited the site and his parents during a trip from British Columbia earlier this month.

Tom managed Storyland in 2000 and 2001, but his fondest memories come from earlier years.

“It was kind of like bragging rights, that my dad owned Storyland and that I had the best backyard in the world,” said Tom. “Oh, it’s like a person. That’s why it’s hard for him (my dad) to hear it’s breaking up.”

Tom remembers escaping into the woods and playing many rounds of mini-golf.

Whatever the memories, the father of two young kids says he hopes the fairy-tale mannequins, in particular, “go to places where their stories stay alive.”

The auction isn’t your everyday one, that’s for sure, says auctioneer Latreille.

“It’s different, in that it’s a specialty auction and the park has so much history.”

The auction is selling everything from the candy floss machine and restaurant equipment to the mechanical rides and about 80 fairy-tale mannequins.

“Anything that can be sold will be PHOTO COURTESY BERKHOUT FAMILY sold,” said Latreille. The bungalow Bill Berkhout, now 28, visits Peter Rabbit and Storyland in the late on the 89-acre property is also for 1980s. The fairy-tale character was Storyland’s most popular compansale, for more than $500,000. ion for family photos over the years.

No excuses

Tomlinson Group’s Red Army

By Tracey Tong

By Tracey Tong

The event raised more than $2 million for cancer research earlier this month, making headlines across the city.

For the Tomlinson Group’s Red Army, it was a red letter day in the name of cancer research.

The fundraising team was the second-largest in the fourth annual Ride the Rideau, Eastern Ontario’s most successful single-day cancer fundraiser. The event, which debuted a 50 km distance in addition to the 100 km flagship distance this year, raised an incredible $2,049,522 for cancer research at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute.

Robert Noseworthy was one of these people. The two-time cancer survivor was only 30 years old when he was first diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Years later, he was diagnosed with merkel cell carcinoma and was treated at The Ottawa Hospital.

This brings The Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s signature fundraising event’s four-year fundraising total to over $6.45 million. Funds raised support cancer research, including the development of personalized therapies for cancer patients and clinical trials.

Anti-pool petition Continued from front

A recommendation to accept or not accept the submission is anticipated for the Sept. 23 meeting of council.

Meanwhile, Renfrew resident Alex Holmes, who has spearheaded an online petition opposing the outdoor pool, has asked that a delegation be allowed to address council at that meeting.

“As a young adult who has roots in the community, a career in a local business, and plans to be here for as long as I can see, I felt compelled to do something that I thought was in the best interest of our community,” Holmes told The Mercury.

“I didn’t expect it (the petition) to receive nearly as much attention as it has, but it has motivated me that much more to help voice the community’s concern over this project.”

MAIN REASON

The online petition, which started last week, collected 350 signatures in its first three days. By last Monday, the online petition and facsimiles distributed to businesses around town had collected about 500 signatures, said Holmes.

Holmes says no specific group is behind the petition, rather “just anyone who wants their opinion voiced.”

‘WITHOUT ANY PUBLIC SUPPORT’

The petition itself says town council’s decision to build an outdoor pool was made “without any public support after turning down a strongly-supported indoor aquatic facility.

This outdoor pool is a meager attempt to appease the public, but is ultimately unwanted.”

The petition closes: “Please sign this if you believe this town and its citizens deserve more than what’s being proposed, and if you believe an indoor facility makes more sense.”

In his own words, Holmes says, “The ultimate goal or triumph would be to stop the hasty undertaking of an outdoor pool and re-open the exploration of an indoor facility.

Why shouldn’t the town at least retrieve what it had before, so swimming safety and aquatic fun can be enjoyed during Renfrew summers, especially for families with young children, says Ringrose.

Ringrose says some critics claim Renfrew’s rising debt is good reason to oppose the projected construction cost for the outdoor pool of $1.3 million.

Not so, says Ringrose, who hastens to note that town debt has dropped in the past year, largely because of payments for loans to cover water plant upgrades and wastewater plant

The outdoor pool project, says Ringrose, is 10 times cheaper than the indoor one while partially meeting a local need.

Meanwhile, Ringrose says the issue has become overly political, as many Renfrew residents continue to dream of seeing a “castle” that can’t be afforded in the current or foreseeable economic climate.

Holmes says the main reason he and others are against the outdoor pool is that most local residents originally favoured an indoor pool, while the “outdoor pool seems to have been ‘NOT GRANDIOSE decided on with little to no input from the community.

Congratulations to tourism students

Calabogie Peaks thanks community for support

To the editor: Opinion - The Town of Renfrew would like to congratulate the three students who were employed at the Visitor Information Centre this summer.

The tourist booth passed its mystery shopper report with flying colours.

In the mystery shopper feedback the booth scored 100 per cent in regional tourism product/service knowledge as well as employee attitude and presentation for an overall score of 94%.

The Visitor Information Centre has been closed for the season but will reopen in May of 2014.

All residents are encouraged to stop by the booth next year for advice on the fun and affordable attractions that Renfrew and its neighbours have to offer.

Be a tourist in your own town!

To the editor: Opinion - The third annual Calabogie Blues & Ribfest cemented Calabogieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new position as a leading Ontario festival site. Over 19,000 visitors enjoyed three days of outstanding blues music and award winning rib fest fare.

The excitement was heightened with performances by the legendary Johnny Winter and Canadian superstar Colin James and the spectacular fireworks on Saturday evening.

The Blues and Ribfest has emerged as a signature Calabogie event.

The success of the festival is the result of a unique public-private partnership between the Government of Canada, the Province of Ontario, the Township of Greater Madawaska and Community Sponsors and volunteers.

We wish to thank all of these partners, including our Renfrew County neighbours and businesses

that opened their doors and hearts to thousands of first time visitors to the County.

We also wish to thank the 200plus volunteers who came together and made the festival function smoothly. Many visitors commented on the warm and friendly atmosphere, the cleanliness of the fields and camping areas and the idyllic Calabogie environment.

By working together to create a world class Blues & Ribfest, all three levels of government, sponsors, volunteers and residents have raised our regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s status as a centre of music and entertainment.

We thank all partners for their continued support for the festival and creating new tourism opportunities for our area.

Beefs with fair

To the editor: Opinion - Well, the Renfrew fair has come and gone again, and I have a few beefs since nothing has been done from last year.

First, as usual the derby drew a very large crowd, probably the biggest all week. However, the only thing that was run well was the removal of the cars from the ring. That is due to the marshallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crew who removed everything with speed and ease. Congratulations to the two lads.

Maybe the people who ran the derby during hog fest and the Eganville Fair should be contacted. I believe there was at least insurance for the drivers.

Second, the booth that was constructed for the handicapped is used by everyone else. This leaves very little room for the handicapped. Perhaps a large sign should be erect-

vidual in one of four areas: â&#x20AC;˘ A person involved in worthwhile community service. â&#x20AC;˘ A special young person contributing to their community while living with a physical or psychological limitation. â&#x20AC;˘ An individual who has performed an act of heroism in the past year. â&#x20AC;˘ Good kids who show a commitment to make life better for others and do more than is normally expected of someone their age.

Up to 12 nominees will be chosen as the final recipients of the provincial award and will be invited to a special ceremony held in the spring of 2014.

Nominate a deserving young person today, and we will personally present them with a certificate of recognition and showcase their contributions in this newspaper.

Help us pay tribute to our leaders of today and tomorrow.

Nomination deadline for the 2013 Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards is Nov. 30.

ed saying handicapped persons and escort only, there is a grandstand right beside it.

Third, the entrances into the Armouries and the exhibition hall are very dangerous for people in wheelchairs and with walkers. Also all the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school exhibits are on the second floor. This means that disabled people cannot see their childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or grandchildâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exhibits.

Fourth, and this is to the town, getting to and from the fairgrounds and Queen Elizabeth School during this time is next to impossible.

Barr Street especially, but also Dominion Street from Hall Street to Veterans Memorial Boulevard should only be one way during the fair. For that matter, Barr Street should be one way all the time with parking on one side only.

Ovarian cancer fundraising walk held at Bennett-Lindsay labyrinth Staff

Community - The Ovarian Cancer Canada 2013 Walk of Hope was held in Burnstown for the first time Sept. 8, and the 25 Bittersweets walkers raised almost $8,000.

Ovarian Cancer Canada director of development Denyse Campeau was among the participants and volunteers.

“Hello and congratulations for finishing the very first Burnstown Ovarian Cancer Canada Walk of Hope and the birth of The Bittersweets,” she said following the walk. “I am so happy to be able to represent Ovarian Cancer Canada right here in my own hometown.”

After two beautiful arias by gifted Renfrew soprano Jessica Belanger, Campeau told the gathering that Ovarian Cancer Canada is the only national charity dedicated to changing the impact the disease has on the 17,000 Canadian women living with ovarian cancer today, and for all women in the future.

“Today we join 45 other cities across Canada and thousands of volunteers have dedicated countless hours to make this day special,” she said.

“Thank you to our volunteers who helped us with the set-up, the registration,

giving drinks and fruit. You are among these thousands of volunteers and you deserve a huge thank you.

“It is thanks to Cheryl Babineau’s tremendous efforts that we were able to make this day happen in Burnstown, our very first Walk of Hope. Cheryl was supported by an army of wonderful people who have also contributed to the success of this day.”

There was also special thanks to Richard Gill for supporting Babineau and contributing his beautiful work toward the prizes.

Kathy Lindsay was also recognized “for doing such a marvellous job keeping the labyrinth in perfect condition for this day” and there was plenty of praise for many “good neighbours” from coffee sponsor Neat Coffee to all who contributed prizes.

“Today we also want to acknowledge and thank our national sponsors – KPMG and the Laura Mercier’s Ovarian Cancer Fund,” she said. “This year we are on the move. We are walking from coast to coast, running in Scotiabank marathons, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and riding in the Laurentians.

“Whatever you personally decide to do to contribute to the cause – together we

are making great strides in bringing ovarian cancer into the spotlight.

“Joined by the likes of celebrities such as Angelina Jolie and Pierce Brosnin who have brought ovarian cancer to mainstream media, combined with the launch of a World Ovarian Cancer Day – we have come many kilometres since the very first walk in 2001.

Since that first walk, 31,200 women in Canada have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and we have raised over $14 million to support them on their journey,” Campeau said.

“We can see the difference the funds raised have made – research has brought many answers, women know where to get help and people are learning to recognize risk factors but there is still so much unknown. The TEAL movement has started and we are committed to keeping up the momentum, but we need your help.

Don’t forget September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month – keep spreading the word. Our message this year is Know Teal – talk teal, share teal and wear teal!

“Let’s Keep Advancing Forward in 2014. Please stay in touch and visit us often as there are so many exciting initiatives being planned for 2014,” she told the Burnstown gathering.

September Is Ovarian Cancer Month Rosemary Drziak

September is our Ovarian Cancer Drive Month. While Ottawa was doing their fundraising walk on Sept. 8, we were doing ours in Burnstown. There were about 25 of us and we raised about $7,000 with our online pledges and cash donations. That’s pretty impressive for Renfrew County.

We were entertained by opera singer Jessica Belanger, a native of Renfrew. She also performed in Arnprior afterwards in the Ottawa Valley Music Festival Chorus and Orchestra. We felt privileged to have her. Our hosts were Cheryl Babineau and Richard Gill of Bittersweet Gallery Cancer survivor Rosemary Drziak, at left, makes her way through the Bennett- and Fog Run Studio. In addition, there were many volunteers and Lindsaylabyrinth at Bittersweet in Burnstown.

The Bennett-Lindsay labyrinth in Burnstown was the scene Sept. 8 of a fundraising walk for the fight against ovarian cancer.

businesses that donated raffle items. They hosted the First Burnstown Regional Walk of Hope for Ovarian Cancer Canada using a medieval 11-circuit Chatres-style labyrinth which was mowed into their meadow.

Here is some information that is useful not only for older women but also the younger ones.

Ovarian cancer is the most fatal women’s cancer because by the time it’s diagnosed, it is near end stage. When it is detected and treated early, the survival rate can be as high as 90 per cent.

The problem is it’s the silent whisperer. It’s very sneaky and mimics so many other conditions that even doctors find it difficult to diagnose. Most common symptoms include bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, difficulty eating or feeling full quickly, urinary symptoms (urgency or frequency). Other symptoms may

include changes in bowel habits, nausea, fatigue, menstrual irregularities and weight loss or gain.

But there can be other symptoms as well, like shortness of breath, an enlarged nodule. So you can see our dilemma.

It is important to work as a team with your doctors. You know your body the best – listen to it. If you feel that you need a referral, check with your primary doctor. You can go crazy trying to self diagnose. Use your instincts.

Diagnostic tests include a pelvic exam, a transvaginal ultrasound and a CA-125 blood test.

The blood test is used as a tool and your result is very individual to you. You can’t compare it to someone else’s.

If you are interested in donating, the address is Ovarian Cancer Canada, 205-145 Front St. E., Toronto, Ont., M5A 1E3.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The young people today more tolerant and kinder To the editor: Opinion - I keep reading letters to the editor in The Renfrew Mercury about how our values are straying from the bible, well thank goodness.

Young people today are becoming much more tolerant, kinder and less bigoted and that is thanks in part

to a movement away from “biblical morals.”

Biblical and moral should not be used in the same sentence.

If you get your morals from the bible, then you may just be immoral.

People love to use the Old Testament when it suits their particular bigotry

or beliefs and the New testament when the Old testament does not.

There is nothing wrong with any kind of sexuality as long as it is between two consenting adults humans and it is private and shouldn’t be of concern to anyone else.

10 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, September 19, 2013

thumping bigots, I would like to ask: Do you wonder or care what goes on in the couple next-door’s bedroom? Probably not. So then keep your noses and minds out of the sex lives of lesbians, gay men and every one in between because it IS normal and it IS natural for many people.

I am heterosexual and I didn’t choose it. When did all of you choose your sexuality? You didn’t either.

Some of us are very tired of being brow-beaten with the bible.

And for those of you who will quote Leviticus to prove that homosexuality is wrong, a sin and an abomination, read this from your bible; Leviticus 24:16 “Whoever utters the name of the Lord must be put to death. The whole community must stone him, whether alien or native. If he utters the name, he must be put to death.”

Whoa, there’s going to be a lot of dead people if that law is upheld.

There’s also this law that no one is following or complaining about; Leviticus 19:27 “Do not clip your hair at the temples, nor trim the edges of your beard.” How many of you are breaking your “god’s” laws right now? A great many.

Stop judging others’ sexual orientation, it can be a direct cause of bul-

lying kids to death in schools. If you, by word or example, teach your children or anyone’s children that being anything but heterosexual is wrong and a sin, you are teaching them to hate and marginalize others. You’re teaching them to judge and bully and all because of an old, dusty, worn out, mythical, fictional book about one of many gods who does not and never did exist.

I’ll leave you with this wonderful quote: “It would be almost unbelievable, if history did not record the tragic fact, that men have gone to war and cut each other’s throats because they could not agree as to what was to become of them after their throats were cut.” Walter P. Stacy Paula G. Whyte Renfrew P.S.: If you are looking for immorality to raise your ire look no further than your own bible which condones slavery, wife-beating, murder, incest and the raping of young girls and look to the religious institutions that run rampant with pedophilia. Why does the fact that two same-gender couples can love each other raise such a fuss when there is barely a whisper heard about religious leaders and their crimes?

Falls prevention sessions start next week Lara Mylly Whitewater Bromley CHC

Falls are by far the most common cause of major injury hospitalization for Ontario seniors.

Falls prevention classes and regular exercise help seniors stay active, healthy and independent.

Ontario is investing $10 million for exercise and fall prevention classes for approximately 130,000 seniors throughout the province.

By directly funding falls prevention classes, we are able to improve the availability of these services and significantly boost access for seniors.

In partnership with the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), Lanark Renfrew Health & Community Services (LRHCS) will be coordinating falls prevention classes for seniors in North Lanark and Renfrew County.

These classes will be supported by our local Community Health Centres (CHCs) including Whitewater Bromley CHC, Rainbow Valley CHC and North Lanark CHC and offered at many locations in Renfrew and Lanark Counties.

A key component for ensuring successful implementation of these falls prevention classes is the community partnerships between CHCs, local agencies offering the programs and local Health Units.

Each session of classes will be held for one hour twice a week for a period of 12 weeks and will be offered free of charge to seniors.

Each session includes an assessment by a physiotherapist or other regulated health professional at the beginning and end of the session.

The exercise component of the classes will include muscle strengthening and balance, will be led by a trained facilitator and will be supported by a regulated health professional Corresponding education sessions will help participants develop confidence in preventing falls and assist participants to identify risks for falls both in the environment and related to their own behaviour.

For more information contact Bonny Johnson, Director of Health Services, Whitewater Bromley CHC, bjohnson@wbchc.on.ca, 613-5823685 or Gwen Brown, Director of Health Services Rainbow Valley CHC, browng@sfmhosp.com, 613756-3045, Ext. 258.

Algonquin College has record enrolment at Waterfront campass Jamie Bramburger Algonquin College

Community - More than 870 full-time students started classes at the new Algonquin College Waterfront Campus in Pembroke Sept. 3.

The record enrolment includes more than 130 Bachelor of Science in Nursing students, making nursing the largest of the 18 programs offered at the campus.

More than 40 per cent of the students studying this fall at the campus are not from Renfrew County, including the majority of the students registered in the popular outdoor adventure program.

Ninety-five percent of the Outdoor Adventure students have re-located from areas across Canada to study in the highly exhilarating program that teaches high adventure practical skills while focussing on risk management and entrepreneurship.

Other programs that have attracted a large number of out-of-town students to the campus are outdoor adventure naturalist, forestry technician, radiation safety and environmental technician.

Many of these programs are unique to the Ottawa Valley Campus or are offered by very few colleges in the province.

Two new programs have been launched-construction techniques and culinary arts-chef training.

Both are one-year certificate programs that strengthen the skilled trades program offerings at the college.

Beginning this week, an

additional 25 students will begin taking academic upgrading classes, and later in the fall, another 20 carpentry apprenticeship students will be on campus to complete an eight-week block of training.

When these students begin their classes, it will push the enrolment levels above 900 students on campus.

Campus Dean Karen Davies says there is nothing more exciting than the start of the school year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our enrolment has been gradually increasing for the past decade and we anticipate this trend will continue as we bring on new programs,â&#x20AC;? says Davies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our new campus is proving to be a destination campus for both local and out of town students.â&#x20AC;?

The college has organized several orientation activities for students to help them adjust to their new surroundings.

Orientation is a critical component of student success. We have many young students who are living away from home for the first time.

That can be overwhelming, but if we help the students meet new friends and learn about the many services that are available to them on campus, we can position them for success in their academic programs.

Algonquin College has had a campus in Pembroke since the late 1960s and last fall moved into its new $36 million new campus, built along the shores of the Ottawa River.

The building opened in late October 2012, about two months after classes began.

Greater Madawaska firefighters seek signs Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

News - The Greater Madawaska Fire Department has approached council, asking if it can use space below the municipal signs at the township borders in an effort to educate motorists on the use of flashing green lights by fire fighters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Volunteer firefighters and medical first responders are permitted, under the Highway Traffic Act, to use flashing green lights in their personal vehicles when responding to emergencies,â&#x20AC;? fire chief Dave Murphy pointed out.

Generally, this occurs in rural areas where people are aware of the purpose of the green lights, Murphy explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Travellers, vacationers and urban residents are often unaware when travelling on rural roads, that the flashing lights mean someone is responding to an emergency,â&#x20AC;? the fire chief

Your VW Superstore

added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would certainly give the firefighters a little more courtesy when they are trying to get to a fire.â&#x20AC;?

In a large community like Greater Madawaska, Murphy said.

Travel time is of the essence when responding to an emergency.

The fire department has been in contact with the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario, but they have refused permission for stand-alone signs on MTOgoverned roads.

They are now working on a plan to engage the County of Renfrew and local MPPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office to find approval. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will send an email to the operations department to have them bring this up at the October meeting,â&#x20AC;? Mayor Peter Emon said.

The fire department is proposing a thin strip below the main sign, with the township logo incorporated.

Work has also started on a new communication tower on Old Fire Tower Road at Kennelly Mountain.

It is essential that this project come to fruition soon. Fire dispatch reception is poor at best and fire personnel communication is abysmal, Murphy said.

He expected the base to be done by mid-September. The road still needs to be brushed back prior to the tower being installed. The estimated date for the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completion is Dec. 15. A generator will also be purchased to power the tower in event of a power outage.

LANDFILL SITES

The township will have its waste sites open on Mondays for commercial use. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to promote commercial people coming in on Mondays, to try to alleviate the backup on other days,â&#x20AC;? Coun.

Brian Hunt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve de-

cided to try it for a short time period and see how it works.â&#x20AC;?

The waste sites would be open eight hours at Norway Lake, two hours at Griffith and two hours at Mount St. Patrick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We looked at various proposalsâ&#x20AC;? Coun. Hunt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This seems to be the least expensive option.â&#x20AC;?

GRIFFITH BALL DIAMOND

The new backstop at the ball diamond in Griffith was installed a couple of weeks ago.

Although it wiped out the ball season, the Griffith and Matawatchan recreation, sport and culture committee members are pleased as they look to the future of kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a little disappointed that we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to have summer ball, but we now have a new regulation backstop and the plan is to get everything going for next year,â&#x20AC;? Coun. Karin Lehnhardt said.

My sister Shannon suffered from a congenital heart disease, a condition that made it difficult for her to eat, breathe or move. She was so fragile that she spent the entire first year of her life at CHEO, so I ended up spending my days at the hospital with my parents and my sister. CHEO became my second home: it was where my family and I spent most of our time, where my sister went to preschool and where I made friends.

I remember that the staff at CHEO always made time for me whether it was by saying hello, giving me a hug or taking me to the playroom, while my sister underwent various procedures. The nurses, especially, were my heroes; it was their caring words and gentle touch that carried my family through some very difficult days.

At three months of age, Ava was admitted to CHEO where she was diagnosed with failure to thrive, severe acid reflux and several food allergies. Failure to thrive is a condition that can have serious repercussions on a child’s stature, emotional and behavioral development.

Ava required a hypoallergenic formula via continuous nasogastric feeds (a feeding tube placed in the nose) and a few medications to help settle her stomach. After a five week stay at CHEO, she was transitioned to thickened bottles and we were finally able to bring her home.

Following her discharge, Ava continued to thrive with outpatient support from CHEO, and although she was smaller than most kids her age, she seemed to be on the upswing.

But one morning I found Ava sweating, trembling and difficult to arouse. That day Ava had the first of a few ambulance rides back to CHEO where she was recently diagnosed with ketotic hypoglycemia, a rare but serious form of Little did I know then that my husband and I would return to CHEO once we became parents. low blood sugar.

Cougar sighting off Goshen Road Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

News - It was a rare Ottawa Valley wildlife experience.

On Aug. 30, three local residents spotted a cougar in the Goshen Road area around 4:30 p.m.

“It was about three and a half feet long with a ropey tail, and a sandy colour,” observed Boyd MacLaren.

The cougar was on the other side of a fence about 15 feet away, at the edge of a rocky growth of trees, MacLaren added.

“It was not very concerned, but it pricked its ears up when I whistled.”

When MacLaren went to leave to get his own camera, after his cellphone failed to work, the cougar slowly stood up and walked into the bush behind some boulders.

Around this time, MacLaren and Les McNee, who owned the farm where the cougar was sighted, saw Al Knox approaching on his antique-style golf cart truck.

“I thought it was a golden lab,” said Knox.

“Then, when he turned around, I saw a rounded face. Labs don’t have a rounded face. He had pointed ears about eight to 10 inches apart,” Knox added.

“I said, ‘There’s a big cat in there.’”

Knox said they watched him for awhile, maybe 10 minutes, “and then up and away he went. It’s not something you see every day.”

My canine caught the cough Sarah Wilson Registered Veterinary Technician

Lifestyle - Within the last month our area has seen a large outbreak of kennel cough! This infectious cough can be so severe that it may sound like something is actually stuck in your dogs’ throat. This hacking and dry cough is a form of bronchitis that can have various degrees of severity. Some dogs may have a mild case that will generally run its course within one to two weeks, where many infected dogs will require a course of antibiotics and cough suppressants for treatment.

Often it is areas where dogs frequently come together that tend be the source of infection, such as dog parks, obedience classes, boarding kennels and grooming business’.

Respiratory secretions are the main source of transmission from an infected dog. Shared objects like toys and water bowls can also play important roles of infection.

Prevention through vaccination is highly recommended for dogs that are frequently in contact with

other dogs and for those that will be in areas as mentioned above.

Commonly, veterinary clinics use a once yearly intra-nasal (in the nose) vaccine to provide the quickest immunity (approximately within 4 days). It is possible that vaccination may not always prevent infection, but will greatly aid in minimizing symptoms.

Vaccination is not useful in dogs incubating kennel cough. Owners should be cautious of infected dogs since they can shed this virus for two to three months following infection. If your dog has recovered from kennel cough, good news - they are commonly immune to re-infection for 612 months.

Hopefully this outbreak in our area will start to dwindle. As a pet owner, some simple methods to preventing your dog from catching this cough would be to be vaccinate and avoid shared water bowls and toys with other dogs.

If you think your dog may have kennel cough or if you would like more information, please feel free to contact your veterinary clinic.

Pharmaceutical manufacturer to expand Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News – Things just continue to look up for Arnprior manufacturing facility Pillar5 Pharma.

The latest good news at the plant is the announcement of $1 million in provincial funding to expand production at the facility.

Dr. Eric Hoskins, minister of Economic Development, Trade and Employment, visited Pillar5 last week to announce the funding, which will help create 56 new jobs and sustain the 94 existing positions.

“We are proud to be supporting job creation right here in eastern Ontario” said Hoskins. “This investment will help Pillar5 become a leader in the production of eye care products while expanding their markets and bringing new jobs and prosperity to the community of Arnprior.”

Providing the right climate to attract investment, create jobs and grow the economy is part of the Ontario government’s plan to build a prosperous and fair province for all Ontarians, added Hoskins.

The Eastern Ontario Development Fund (EODF) support will help Pillar5 increase its operations by installing two new, advanced production lines for the manufacturing and packaging of eye care products.

This expansion will better position the company to pursue new markets - both at home and abroad, say officials.

Pillar5 officials are grateful for the support.

“We are thankful for the support from the Ontario government. This expansion means we can offer our customers more solutions for their pharmaceutical outsourcing needs.

It also gives us greater capacity to increase production and explore new markets,” said Kevin Rampton, CEO of Pillar5 Pharma.

Chief operating officer Jamie Moore echoed his sentiments.

“We are really pleased that the ministry

It’s a great opportunity for us to continue growing our business and produce quality product for the marketplace,” said Moore.

Anne Cheslock, administration and operational excellence leader, said the company is in the process of going through the steps to engineer and build the new sterile line.

“There’s a lot of work going into planning right now,” she said. “The planning and building phase will take some time.”

It’s hard to pinpoint a completion date but the process is likely to take about four years. Then, the company will likely post for the new jobs, said Cheslock.

Much of the company’s success can be attributed to the people who work there, said Cheslock.

“We’ve got a long history here, starting with Pfizer,” she said. “Great people work here and we’ve been very smart about creating a smart business case.”

Pillar5 has a multi-skilled work force that includes biologists, chemists, engineers, a strong human resources team and

Listening to the hunters’ call steve.newman@metroland.com

Canadian Tire in Renfrew hadn’t sold firearms for about 15 years, but that all changed this year.

As of May 2013, firearms again became available at the Renfrew store, which hosts one of Canadian Tire’s 64 new Hunting Pro Shops.

In fact, 42 of the hunting shops have opened in Ontario, including the most local ones, in Renfrew, Pembroke, Smiths Falls and Perth.

The opening in Renfrew’s store, on O’Brien Road, was facilitated by adding 5,000 square feet to the east end of the store during storage expansion from January to May 2013.

Renfrew’s pro shop continued to expand until it was fully stocked for its grand opening Sept. 13 and 14.

There has been a hunting section in Renfrew for years, but inventory specialist Richard Kenopic says it was small. All that has changed, with big support from female hunters.

HOT-SELLING PINK CAMOUFLAGE

“It’s been hot,” said Kenopic of sales of pink camouflage clothing.

The expansion of the hunting shop has been received with overwhelmingly positive feedback, he adds.

During a recent visit to the Renfrew store, Braeside hunter André Payer said he’d heard a lot of people talking about the newly-expanded section.

Asked what he likes best about it, he replied, “Everything. It’s well displayed.”

Canadian Tire has opened 64 new Hunting Pro Shops across Canada, including 42 in Ontario.

One of them is in Renfrew, with others also in Pembroke, Smiths Falls and Perth.

Renfrew franchise owner Bill Kenopic says the section has definitely boosted overall sales.

ONLINE CHECKLISTS, EXPERT ADVICE

Canadian Tire is supporting its new hunting pro shops online, with material on hunting checklists, how to pick your gear, and an expert’s corner with Mike Miller, the host of Angler & Hunter Television.

The variety of hunting products available include firearms, clothing, footwear, accessories, ammunition, firearms storage containers, knives and sharpeners, optics, decoys, calls, attractants, wild-game cameras and jerky-stickmaking guns.

There are about 40 firearms to choose from, at prices less than $200 to more than $600. A popular clothing line is Duck Dynasty.

There are even a few less serious items, like camouflage and blaze-orange toilet paper.

Canadian Tire communications advisor Leah Gaucher says the big difference between former and current hunting sections is the more extensive product assortment, which is tailored to the specific community.

Valley Bytes looks to gain recycling momentum Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - The statistics are encouraging. Ontario Electronic Stewardship program recycling numbers improved drastically, from 2011 to 2012, by 45 per cent to 75,000 tonnes of e-waste.

But more needs to be done, to continue to reduce the amount of domestic garbage that ends up in our landfill sites, say many supporters of recycling programs.

Among them is Dwayne Johnston, owner of Valley Bytes and his Renfrew-based sister companies of Valley eCycling and Valley Office Supplies.

With the help of a recent federal grant of $3,414.97, Johnston says he was able to hire a new employee, Brian Dick, to manage his e-waste recycling program and to do some advertising to promote the local program. Johnston’s own program got underway early in 2013.

The grant came from the Eastern Ontario Development Program, which is administered through the Community Futures Development Corporation.

Johnston’s program includes colThousands of kilograms of e-waste products are wrapped and ready for transportation.

The Renfrew business’s e-waste robot is accompanied, from left, by Valley Bytes and Val- lection of e-waste from Horton Townley eCycling owners Connie Griffin and Dwayne Johnston, Valley eCycling manager Brian ship’s landfill site and from other local residents who leave their e-waste at Dick and local MP Cheryl Gallant.

The poster’s listed items include TVs, monitors, keyboards, mice, satellites, stereos, DVD and VCR players, computers, telephones, printers, faxes, cell phones and scanners.

“The ultimate goal is really to make Renfrew and Renfrew County a destination for collection of all waste electronics,” said Johnston, who receives a nominal incentive fee from primary recyclers, who in turn receive compensation from the Ontario Electronic Stewardship program.

Valley eCycling’s program includes a $15 charge to local residents who need assistance for transporting heavier or larger loads of electronic equipment.

A single white rose and baby’s breath sit within the bouquet that is part of the women’s monument in Petawawa. Saturday’s ceremony featured tributes to the 16 Renfrew County women lost to murder.

There were also musical selections by a choir and Arnprior singer-songwriter Craig Cardiff. His song Safe Here brought a consoling message, reflective of the monument’s purpose – to be a sanctuary for remembrance and reflection. The monument is located along the Emerald Lace Trail, with the soothing sounds of the Petawawa River rapids nearby. At right, Cardiff performs Safe Here.

News – A monument to the memory of Renfrew County women who lost their lives to physical violence was the scene of a very special celebration Saturday in Petawawa.

Family and friends of 16 women gathered for a ceremony of song, meditation and tribute, with candles lit in memory of those who lost their lives to murder and abuse.

The inscription on the monument reads: To honour and grieve all women in Renfrew County murdered and abused by men. We, your sisters and brothers, remember and work for a world where women are respected and free.”

“The primary goal of the monument is, first and foremost, to ensure that all of these women are remembered,” said emcee Jennifer Valiquette, RN and manager of the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Regional Assault Care Program.

In closing, Valiquette told family and friends: “We hope that you will visit often and feel comfortable here. That here you will find a safe place to grieve, to wonder, to question and to remember. That at the women’s monument you will find a place of sanctuary, as well as a place of hope.”

The memories of two Renfrew women were honoured at Saturday’s ceremony.

Anna Buraczewski, sister of Marianna (Marysia) Buraczewski who died in 1981, read a tribute to her sister, recognizing her artistic and musical talent and great potential.

Daughter Stephanie Brunet and sister Debbie Davidson attended in memory of Carol-Anne Brunet who died in 2010.

Thirteen other women from Renfrew County were also honoured and celebrated at the special place of reflection and tribute on the Emerald Necklace Trail between Algonquin and Harry Street, with a view of the rapids on the Petawawa River.

The monument is surrounding by rock walls with places to sit and reflect.

The monument was designed by Cormac artist/blacksmith Lydia Vanderstaal and owneroperator of Touch stone Masonry in Killaloe, ic Mary Crnkovich.

Karen Timm and Gail Marion of Garden Follies in Westmeath donated their time to assist with landscape design and planting.

A special working group of the Renfrew County Committee for Abused Women, spearheaded by Debbie Kasdorff, spent six years and 600 meetings consulting, planning and fundraising for the monument. There was also high praise for a long list of supporters, from numerous sponsors to host Town of Petawawa who warmly welcomed the project and helped to find an appropriate site for the monument.

Wolves top Perth in rematch Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - The Renfrew Timberwolves faced a good challenge on the opening weekend of their Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League Valley Division title defence.

The Wolves travelled to Perth for a tough assignment against the Blue Wings Friday night.

On Saturday, the Wolves met the always formidable Ottawa West Golden Knights in a designated home game in Arnprior at the Nick Smith Centre.

When the dust settled, the Wolves earned three of a possible four points to start the 201314 season. The contest versus Ottawa West was part of a fivegame Metro-Valley Conference showcase.

WOLVES 4, PERTH 2

The Wolves picked up where they left off from last springâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s division final. Another win on Perth ice. But for the longest time, it looked like they might never strike.

The Wolves were on the short end of a goaltendersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; duel, trailing 1-0 as late as 6:41 left in the game.

Then, Wolvesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; snipers finally made a breakthrough on veteran Blue Wings netminder Jeremy Wright, and in a big way.

Michael Minns and Tanner

Smith scored 15 seconds apart to stun the Perth crowd and put Renfrew in front 2-1.

Scott Conroy made it 3-1 about three minutes later.

After Brock Stashick narrowed the gap with his second goal of the night for Perth, Colin Bradbury iced the verdict for the Wolves in the final minute.

All four Renfrew goals came from members of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Valley championship team.

The Wolves outshot the Blue Wings 41-34.

Goaltender Matt Gagne, although down 1-0 since the 3:19 mark of the first period, made the stops to keep the Wolves in it, buying them the time for the offence to come alive.

Penalty killing was obviously ahead of the powerplay for both teams in this season-opening contest. The Blue Wings went 0-for-9 on the powerplay while the Wolves failed to score on six tries.

WEST 5, WOLVES 4 (OT)

Jeff Gottzmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second goal of the night 4:15 into overtime gave Ottawa West its victory in the feisty see-saw contest.

Cody Kyle, Mike Darnowski and Jack Kilrea added singles.

The Wolves were paced by two goals from Luke Lapierre.

Colin Bradbury and Sean Kyle counted singles.

Defenceman Teddy Suckow

added two assists.

The Wolves had their chances to pull away in regulation time, outshooting Ottawa West 42-31 over 60 minutes.

But the Golden Knights overcame three one-goal deficits in the third period, and held a 6-1 shots edge in the four-on-four overtime.

Matt Schroeder went the distance between the pipes for the Wolves. J.J. Pristanski backstopped Ottawa West.

Sixteen of the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 19 penalties came in the second period.

Gottzman and Lapierre were named players of the game.

WOLVESâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; HOWLINGS

The Wolves have dealt recently acquired defenceman Brandon Lee to the Ottawa West Golden Knights for a playing card for a 16-year-old player next season.

Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head coach, Tony Iob, joined assistants Mike Bredlaw and Danby Suckow behind the bench Saturday afaternoon.

Coach Kip Mulvihill was standing in a wedding.

The Wolves travel to the Larry Robinson Arena in Metcalfe for a 7:30 p.m. contest against the Jets this Friday night.

On Sunday, the Wolves finally get to launch their official home season.

The Almonte Thunder are in town at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre at 7:30 p.m.

Cool tennis It was a cold, blustery night at the Renfrew Lions Club Ma-Te-Way Park Tennis Courts Friday, but that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about to stop the brave souls on the opening night at the annual Renfrew Senior Tennis Open. Sheila Kemp and partner Rob Hagerman were among the teams taking to the court. They went on to win the mixed doubles title over Sheila Windle and Bob Brydges.

Wrestling passes challenging test for 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - Wrestling will be a part of

the 2020 Summer Olympics Games, after all.

A day after Tokyo was awarded the Games, the International Olym-

pic Committee (IOC) announced wrestling will be on the 2020 Olympic program.

Of the original list of eight sports

nominated, three sports (softball/ baseball, squash, and wrestling) were shortlisted by the IOC executive board in May 2013 for a final de-

cision announced Sept. 9 in Buenos Aires.

Breakthrough: first international games medals for Bishop Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Sports - The Canadian track and field team’s 22-medal windfall at last week’s Francophone Games included groundbreaking silver and bronze medals for Melissa Bishop of Eganville.

The 2012 Olympian had dipped below the coveted two-minute barrier in successive seasons, and won her first national title this year. But she still hadn’t shone in an international games meet, after failing to qualify for the second round in both the 2012 Olympic Games and 2013 World Championships.

That all changed last Saturday in Nice, France,

where she captured a bronze medal in the women’s 800-metre final won

by Romanian Elena Lavric and followed that same day with a silver medal in the 4x400-metre relay.

And to think it might have been two silver medals for Bishop.

Reliving the 800-metre final, she told The Mercury the slow-starting race heated up on the second lap before the field spread out.

“Coming around the last corner, I was in third, but in touch with first and second. However, I clipped the heels of the Romanian girl in front of me and lost stride. By the time I got my rhythm back, first and second had pulled away enough that I wasn’t able to

catch them.”

But the bronze medal is no penalty.

“I’m very excited with bronze, happy to be bringing home a medal for Canada and a silver in the 4x400,” said Bishop. “The race certainly wasn’t fast; but it was tactical and anything can happen in those.”

Lavric won in 2 minutes 2.27 seconds. The silver medal went to Malika Akkaoui of Morocco in 2:02.61, while Bishop was 2:03.44 and Siham Hilali of Morocco fourth in 2:03.73.

Karine Belleau-Beliveau of Montreal finished seventh in 2:04.26 and Olympian Jessica Smith of Vancouver eighth in the eight-runner final.

In the relay, Romania won easily, in 3:29.21, leaving Canada second in 3:34.25 and France third in 3:35.20.

It’s now time to take a break before starting the build-up for the 2014 track season, but with notable dividends.

“It’s a boost of confidence, my first international medals, and it feels great,” noted Bishop.

“I’m looking forward to the break, but can’t help looking forward to next year as well.”

Bishop’s silver-medal teammates in the relay were lead-off Adrienne Power of Halifax, Noelle Montcalm of Belle River, Ont. who ran the third leg, and anchor Alicia Brown of Ottawa.

The six Canadian gold medallists included javelin thrower Krista Woodward of New Westminster, B.C., and high jumper Derek Drouin of Corunna, Ont. Canada also won eight silver and eight bronze medals in Nice.

Olympics Continued from page 33

“The Canadian Olympic Committee is pleased to hear that wrestling will remain on the Olympic program thanks, in large part, to the tireless efforts of the athletes and leaders at Wrestling Canada, all of whom have worked very hard and shown significant leadership in addressing issues within the sport and in demonstrating

how important wrestling is to the Olympic movement,” said Canadian Olympic Committee president Marcel Aubut.

Locally, long-time Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club coach Grant Lavallee is pleased to see an original Olympic sport make the grade. He is also concerned that with the required 51 per cent of the vote, the numbers show how close wrestling was to falling off the Olympic map.

“We are certainly pleased that wrestling got the 49 votes

tries is the national sport.”

Wrestling is one of the few sports that has over 100 countries compete in the Olympics and something like 70 of the countries have actually had medallists in the Olympics, Lavallee said.

“I just don’t see that many other countries with some of those other sports, so, it is a concern,” he said.

“We, as wrestling enthusiasts have to continue to do an awful lot of work to keep that momentum going, and maybe change the sport a little bit, try to get fans out and more educated, and enjoy the sport and see the benefit.”

Lavallee noted that Renfrew has more wrestlers per capita than anywhere else in Canada.

“That’s considering British Columbia, Ontario, any province you want to look at; any city in that province.

“We’ll take a team of 60 wrestlers to a tournament and Toronto will show up with 10,” he said.

Lavallee also said wrestling is for everybody regardless of gender, height or weight.

“If you are four-foot-four, you can still wrestle, but I think it’d be pretty hard to make the basketball team.”

out of 95. With that, there are some mixed feelings, one being that something like 44 didn’t vote for wrestling, but voted for softball, baseball or squash,” he said.

“If you look at countries throughout the world, without any doubt, there’s more countries with wrestlers,” said Lavallee.

“Maybe wrestling isn’t as popular in Canada – hockey being the national sport, and lacrosse – but wrestling throughout many other coun-

Floor shuffleboard is a game that challenges the mind,

more so than the body. The actual physical act of playing the game is relatively easy and gentle.

An extremely light touch is required on the cue, which is light in weight. The discs glide down the court with speed and ease. It is a game that anyone can play, from youngsters to seniors.

The strategy of shuffleboard can be compared to curling and lawn bowling. It is not merely a matter of pushing the discs into the scoring area and

hoping for a score. respected reputation in such Creating hides, clearing the competition. board, snuggling/freezing and Why not drop into the scoring your hammer are all very exciting and challenging aspects of the game.

Work aplenty off the ice Andy Sklepowicz Behind the Glass

Most curlers call the curling club home only in the winter and move to the golf course and cottage for the summer. But board members find themselves missing a few rounds both on the links as well as the cottage, getting the club ready for another season, since running and maintaining the club doesn’t end when the ice comes out.

Many of the board members wear multiple hats but officially take on specific roles. Past president Gert Brydges has begun the challenging task of putting together a bar team to look after the many functions within the club.

Jim Berg continues in his role as ice chair and has been busily repairing leaks in the brine pipes and ensuring that all ice making equipment is running at peak efficiency.

His ice team, led by ice tech Rick Allen, is presently installing the ice.

Beth Marcella is looking after club finances and making sure all bills are paid and that the books are in order.

Cliff Valleau continues as secretary and membership chair. As secretary, he records board meetings and, more importantly, tracks all activities that the board is working on, ensuring their

completion. Under membership Cliff has put together a board mailing and emailing list and is working on completing registration.

Bernie Leclaire has come on board to look after house, a greatly needed task. With an aging building, Bernie’s summer has been filled with repair and maintenance and the building is starting to look great.

Bill Neff is responsible for the club’s future, as capital expenditures will continue to be the club’s biggest challenge since repairs and renewal never end and the large chunks of money more difficult to raise.

Cedric Wright has a team ready to provide the club and community its social outings when spiels take centre stage.

Yvonne Sklepowicz has already started up the kitchen and she and her team are planning all the tasty dishes that will fuel many events.

Barb Westgarth has taken on the important dual roles of marketing and communication. A club has to continue to grow or it dies, and Barb’s tireless work nurtures that process.

And finally, Andy Sklepowicz, as match chair, organizes all the leagues with his dedicated team. As president, his role is still a mystery, but it did come with a big whip.

In Renfrew participants will gather on Sunday, Sept. 22 at 10 a.m. at Ma-Te-Way Park. The walk begins at 11 a.m.

One in 10 Canadians has kidney disease, and millions more are at risk.

More than 10,000 people in Ontario are on dialysis today and 1,100 are on the wait list for a transplant.

End-stage renal failure is a permanent, life-changing diagnosis.

Undergoing dialysis treatments numerous times a week takes its toll ... physically, psychologically and financially, and can dramatically affect patients as well as their family and friends.

The Foundation’s goal is to support those affected by kidney disease through education, patient support

Kidney Walks are a great way to bring people together in their communities.

ANTHONY TIRONE, KIDNEY FOUNDATION OF CANADA

programs like the Kidney Connect Peer Support program, advocacy, and by funding research to improve understanding of kidney disease anits treatments.

“Kidney Walks are a great way to bring people together in their communities, supporting a common goal to raise awareness and funds,” said Anthony Tirone, director of philanthropy and community development.

“This year’s goal is to raise $850,000 to support kidney patients and enhance research initiatives. Over 2,000 people across Ontario participated in 2012, raising over $700,000.”

The Kidney Foundation appreciates the support of participants, donors, provincial sponsor CTS, and the many local organizations and businesses that sponsor community walks.

For more information, to register for the Sept. 22 walk or to donate, please visit www.kidneywalk.ca.

Here is a beautiful poem written for “Richard” by Nina McClure

Our Friend Richard Here is a little story of our good friend Richard Wright.

God decided to take him early one summer night.

He was a nature lover always in the bush with his dog Blue running ahead of him giving the deer a little push.

Richard has two brothers their names are Darryl and Gregg.

These boys were bonded together from birth to present day.

I must have done something right in the first 35 years of my life to have met and become friends with each and everyone of you, so all I can do now is live the rest of my life in the very same way.

THANK YOU TO ONE AND ALL, Harold, Melanie, Mackenzie, and Morgan

CLR468121

0919.clr469415

Richard had a heart of gold as big as it could be He loved his family, friends, pets and kids He lived life as simply as it should be.

Hugs to all of you from our family, Nancy, Dave (Joan), Gregg (Julie), Darryl

Where do I begin? I can’t describe the overwhelming gratitude that Melanie, Mackenzie, Morgan and I are feeling after the amount of support you have all shown us. Don, Ralph, Paul, Ed M, Eddy S, Kyle, Steve and all the young lads at the ferry; thank you for organizing such a wonderful party. I can only imagine all the work you must have put in, in such a short time. Only a group of dedicated and caring lads like you could have put on a party like that for little old me.

These past weeks will stay with me forever, not as a reminder of a tragic event, but as a reminder that the community that I live in is truly blessed and has touched my heart and soul forever.

He cherished his mother Nancy and his father Dave The love they have for family is truly unexplained.

CLR469429

THANK YOU

Thanks to everyone for all of the donations.

Whether dropped off at the ferry, made online, sent in the mail, or made directly at the party, thank you just doesn’t cut it; we are forever in your debt.

A man of many trades, Richard truly was.

There wasn’t much he couldn’t do when it came to cars and trucks.

To the community, family, friends, co-workers past and present, ferry clientele, and all others I may have missed, thank you for your kind words of encouragement.

He always was an outdoorsman hunting and mud bogging was his life.

If you were lucky you could hear him four wheeling in the night.

So this is our story of our good friend Richard Wright.

Who God loved so dearly, and took one warm summer night.

The family of the late Dominic Peplinski would like to express their sincere thanks to our family, friends and neighbors for their love and support during our time of sorrow.

To the paramedics and police.

Thank you & God Bless Julie Peplinski and family

Richard leaves behind 3 orphaned little pets that he loved dearly & I am very happy that they have found very good homes. Thanks to Tammy & Mark Limlaw for adopting little “Blue” the dog, he went everywhere with Richard, was his best little buddy. Kevin Gray (Jenah) for adopting little 4-month old “Smoky” the kitten. Then there’s special little “Bobby” the cat that loves to hunt, go 4-wheeling, go for walks & go for drives in the car which I am going to keep for myself.

We think of you in Silence We often speak your name Now all we have is memories And your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake With which we’ll never part God has you in His keeping We have you in our hearts.

Missing you always Michael, Karen, Peter, Allison and families

As with most, Our mother was the corner stone of our family. It’s hard to believe it has been a year since she left us suddenly to be with the love of her life. Over time we learned she was the one who laid the foundation for what we, as her children cherish the most. The love of family, being part of you community, good friends and enjoying life. There is not a day that goes by where we are not thinking of her. Or that she is not part of one of our conversations.

Our daily actions are a reflection of how she raised us to be honest, to be supportive of one another and care for each other. She enjoyed the uniqueness of her brothers and sisters, What she learned from her children, but most of all the joy her grandchildren brought to her. One of the best parts of any visits to mom’s house would be the time sitting around the kitchen table catching up on what was new, playing cards or enjoying one of her home cooked meals. There might of even been a sip of rum along the way. Our mother taught us to live life to the fullest and enjoy a good laugh and we thank her for that. As it has before, the power of her love will carry us through.

Mom, we all miss you Love Michael, Karen, Peter,

CROZIER, Harry In sad but loving memory of a dear husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather and great grandfather Harry who passed away on Sept. 17, 1993.

We will never fully understand, Just why you had to leave, The loss is still so painful, we often cry and grieve.

Memories can bring happiness, When together we recall, Special memories shared in love, So treasured by us all.

Memories can bring sadness, with pain and sorrow too, We long for things to be the same, As when they were shared with you.

But the joys we shared together, Are the memories we hold dear.

So please dear Lord, Take this message to Harry in Heaven above.

Tell him how much we miss him, And give him all our love.

Lovingly remembered and sadly missed, Millie and Family MARTIN In memory of Shirley Martin Sept 19, 2011 Time speeds on, two years have passed Since death its gloom, its shadow cast Within our home where all seemed bright, and took from us a shining light.

We miss that light, and ever will, Her vacant place there’s none to fill.

Down here we mourn, but not in vain, For up in Heaven we will meet again.

NATURE

Connected to your community

Immature red-tailed hawk visits Terry Cunningham had an immature redtailed hawk drop in at his home this week looking for food. Young birds are always hungry and will often put aside their fears, if they have any, to satisfy their need for something to eat. Young hawks and birds in general injure themselves because of clumsy flying and hunting skills.

They have many natural predators, skunks, raccoons, feral cats, turtles and other hawks as well. But if they survive the first winter they have a good chance of reaching the maxmium age for their species.

If you should find an injured bird protect it from predators and give it natural foods: seeds, worms, grasshoppers, mice to find out its food preferences. Once these items are known, you can feed them what is best for them. Don’t be disappointed, mortality rates are high among birds and only two survive of all birds born every year to return here to nest.

GOOD NEWS

A report from Bob O’Donnell, birds at the golf club, no pun intended.

I can finally report the most successful nest box results in the 14 years that I have had nest boxes on the Renfrew golf course. There were three blue bird nestings with a total of 14 young fledged, a remarkable year. While golfing last Thursday my partner Clayton Eady described to me how he exited his house on the Pinnacle to be confronted by a very large crane-like bird. The bird was foraging in his tomato patch but flew away when Clayton attempted to take a photo. His description of the bird indicated a sandhill crane. Then on Sunday while putting on the eighth green I was distracted by a

JIM FERGUSON Scene from the Hawk’s Eye bird’s shadow passing over. The bird circling overhead was a broad-winged hawk and as it circled a smaller raptor flew up to harass the hawk. I think the smaller bird was a merlin and it persisted in its behaviour until the hawk flew away.

BIRDS OF PREY

Canadian Raptor Conservancy’s primary focus is to educate the general public about birds of prey and their continuing important role in our natural world.

The Conservancy performs live, free-flight demonstrations across Canada. Some of the fabulous birds that are used in their shows include: bald eagle, golden eagle, Harris hawk, barn owl, great horned owl, red-tailed hawk, peregrine falcon, American kestrel and turkey vulture. The Conservancy will be holding six shows at the Renfrew Fair – three on Saturday, Sept. 7, and three on Sunday, Sept. 8, at 12 noon, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. each day.

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

LUCY HASS/METROLAND

This ferruguinous hawk was among the birds showcased at the 2013 Renfrew Fair.

NIGHT HAWKS ON THE MOVE

Cathy and Remick Campbell report that night hawks have been seen and heard flying over their home on the South McNaughton Road this past week. There have also been reports of night hawks at Mount Saint Patrick by the Clark family. This species is facing difficult times. Loss of protected areas that have small stones for nesting materials and insecticide use on their wintering grounds in South America do the most damage. Night hawks are well worth protecting. The study of stomach contents shows that a single nighthawk will capture over 500 mosquitoes in a single night and when available up to 2,200 flying ants.

will be starting their migration. The earliest warbler to go is the yellow warbler and the last to go (Dec. 20) is the yellow-rumped warbler.

Tree swallows leave as soon as their young have fledged but Eastern phoebes will stay as long (Oct. 15, 2006) as there are berries for them to feed on. A flock of Canada geese was seen searching the grain stubble for any oats left by the harvester. This will soon become a common sight until snow covers the ground. Replacing damaged feathers and building up fat reserves will be the main duties of most birds as they prepare for migration. It will also be a time for northern birds to arrive.

PETER CLARK/METROLAND

Pastor Bill Griffiths, centre, is congratulated by Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant and Greater Madawaska Mayor Peter Emon on the occasion of Pastor Griffiths’ receiving the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal Aug. 13 at the Calabogie Community Centre. “Reverend Bill Griffiths is a great community leader in Calabogie, opening both his home and his heart to residents here for over 20 years, and I am honoured to present him with a Diamond Jubilee Medal,” Gallant said.

Nominations Due By Sept. 25, 2013 Forms can be picked up at

Pastor Griffiths honoured with Queen’s Jubilee Medal Peter Emon Greater Madawaska Mayor

Community - In July 1988 Diane and Bill Griffiths purchased the Box House on Madawaska Street and took over operation of the Madawaska Guest House from Barbara and Paddy Collins. From the beginning of their time in Calabogie, they sought out opportunities to make a contribution to the community.

Diane has been a volunteer with Calabogie and Area Home Support almost from the beginning of that organization’s existence.

Both Diane and Bill have shared their love of music with their close friends, Moya and James, singing together for many years as Bogie Gospel. In that capacity they have collaborated with other local musicians in fund-raising events and other community concerts.

Bill has frequently been a guest speaker in the pulpit at St. Andrew’s and at Hillcrest Cemetery, thanks in part to a close connection with Moya’s Mom, Deanne Gagnon.

After successfully running the Madawaska Guest House for a number of years, Diane felt it was time for a change and in 1997 Diane and Bill began to look after children for Renfrew County Family and Children’s Services, turning their home into the Emergency Receiving Home for the agency.

Their home was renamed ‘Sanctuary’ and over the next

10 years, for periods ranging from a few weeks to several years, no less that 80 children from all over Renfrew County were provided with a safe and nurturing place to call home.

Their last child left in 2007, while the first child they took in eventually became a member of their extended family.

While Diane and Bill moved to Calabogie from Orleans, Bill continued to work as a manager for Bell Canada, commuting daily to downtown Ottawa until he retired in 1996 after 30 years of service.

It was during the final years of working for Bell that Bill began to study evenings and summers at Saint Paul University Seminary in Ottawa.

Having the opportunity to study full-time at Saint Paul, Bill earned a BTh (Bachelor of Theology) in 1993, jointly conferred by the University of Ottawa.

Moving on to post-graduate studies at Saint Paul Bill earned two Masters Degrees – the first, an MATh (Master of Theology in Scripture Studies) in 1998 and a second MPTh (Master of Pastoral Theology) in 2001.

Again, these degrees were jointly conferred by the University of Ottawa.

In the early 1990s there was a Bible study group meeting in Calabogie, comprised of several ladies from the community.

In 1997, after retiring from Bell, Bill began to attend these meetings and in 1999, sensing a call from God to be make

greater use of his seminary training, Bill convinced the ladies to take their ministry out of the house and into the old Lions Club building on Mill Street.

The Calabogie Bible Fellowship was born and celebrated its inaugural service on July 4, 1999 with 26 congregation members in attendance.

Looking for an accountability relationship with a larger body, CBF approached the Congregational Christian Churches in Canada (4C’s) and was granted membership affiliation in the spring of 2000. At the 4C’s annual meeting in July 2000, both Pastor Bill’s oversight and the scope of CBF’s ministries were formally recognized by the wider body.

In May 2003, with approval by the National Church, Pastor Bill was ordained by the local congregation and given the new title of ‘Reverend’.

Over the past 14 years of ministry, CBF has engaged in many activities with a community focus – Vacation Bible Camps, Christmas Family Support Program, the Food Bank, the Hot Lunches Program at St. Joseph’s School and Spiritual Growth Seminars, to mention a few.

Personally, and with the full endorsement of the CBF Church Board, Pastor Bill is also president of the Greater Madawaska Seniors’ Housing Corporation, whose mandate is to provide affordable housing for the seniors in our community.

Special music for a special cause Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Three Renfrew native musicians and trumpet player Stephan Grasmuck of Eganville will be the centre of attention during a special fundraising concert at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church Oct. 4.

But the real beneficiary will be the very roof above their heads, whose asphalt shingles need to be replaced, thus the move to replace them with longer-lasting steel shingles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What began as a simple idea eight months ago to perform a concert to showcase the wonderful and unique Casavant pipe organ at Our Lady of Fatima Church, has now grown into a full-fledged evening recital of sacred music to help with the fundraising efforts for the new roof,â&#x20AC;? says Belanger.

Belanger, a soprano, and Nicholas Walters, who will be playing the Casavant Frères organ, are the hosts for their musical guests â&#x20AC;&#x201D; mezzosoprana Danielle Vaillancourt, a Renfrew native who is studying in Montreal, and Grasmuck.

Grasmuck, who has more than 30 years experience as a school administrator, educator and music department head, was living in Vancouver, until he and wife Judy recently moved to the Ottawa Valley. Director of the November production of Shrek, the

Musical at Pembrokeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Festival Hall, the trumpeter has performed for years at church services, ordination ceremonies and weddings.

Cybulski Sheet Metal of Burnstown has been awarded the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roof contract, whose work should provide a longer lifespan for the large and uniquely-shaped roof of about a dozen triangular structures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely in need of repairs,â&#x20AC;? says the parish priest, Father Ryan Holly, estimating the total cost at $150,000. The work is being done this fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The finance committee has provided some savings and investments to finance the project,â&#x20AC;? adds Father Holly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also hoping to raise some funds to show our own communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to the project.â&#x20AC;?

The concert, entitled A Musical Offering: An Evening of Sacred Music, will kick off with a piece by Johann Sebastian Bach, likely Fantasia in G major for the organ. The eight selections in the first half will also include Vaillancourtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s singing of The Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prayer, which was composed

by Albert May Malotte in 1935.

Broadhead Brewing Co.

HARVEST ALE is a smooth amber ale, packed full of freshly harvested local Cascade hops, giving it a warm citrus finish.

Sixth generation farmers, the guys over at Lot 17 Hop Yard delivered their entire crop of Cascade LONG SHOT WHITE is a fresh, fruit flavoured wheat ale that is brewed to be hazy and brazen! A spirited, sweet and slightly spicy beer that perfectly mingles coriander overtones, this brew a favourite of the Broadhead crowd!

BACKBONE STANDARD ALE. Don’t let the name fool you… it is a hearty, all grain golden ale that’s crisp, well-balanced and overflowing with flavour. Lightly hopped with a medium body leading to a refreshing, sweet finish.

HogsBack HOGSBACK VINTAGE LAGER is a European-inspired lager with high grade flavour due to us utilizing only world glass ingredients combining three malt types, unique Saaz hops and German lager yeast.

VONDERBARRHAVEN BROWN is a European beer style brewed with slightly fire kilned malts giving it its signature brownish colour and a slight malty chocolate – somewhat nutty, caramelized flavour with a sweet aroma and a slightly more bitter ending in taste in our mouth.

OKTOBERFEST KOKONUT PALE ALE is a spectacular beer injected with a dash of toasted coconut. A clear golden colour with the aroma first hinting of the delicious coconut sweet pale malt, citrus and a dash of piney hops. The taste is malty then citrusy then a lovely coconut flavour finishes this beer off ending mildly (not wildly) dry and slightly peppery.

EDUCATION

Best weeks of the year Opinion - Spirit Weeks are arguably the best weeks of the school year. This past week the spirit committee has been working hard to schedule a week of spirit days and activities.

Spirit Week has included a number of different dress up days. Throughout the week, we have seen some some fun, wacky and interesting outfits.

Monday, students could be seen wearing the most disastrous outfits possible, with the goal of having the most uncoordinated clothing choice. Fashion Disaster day was certainly a great day to express some “unique” style!

On Tuesday, students donned some formal wear for the day, and we headed to Our Lady of Fatima Parish for our first school mass of the year with Fr. Ryan Holly.

Yesterday, students were asked to dress up in the uniform of their current or dream job. For a number of students, this day required some thought beforehand!

Today is Gangster vs.

Hipster day, where these opposite styles mix together!

Tomorrow is the annual House Colours day. The

student body has been divided into different colours and teams, all competing in a day of fun games and activities. In the afternoon, there will be a talent show held in the gymnasium.

During lunch, barbecued hamburgers will be available for sale, and there will be a Dominican Republic bake sale, so make sure to bring your spare change to support the Athletic Council and DR Team.

In the evening, the first school dance of the year will begin at 8 p.m. This dance will have a country theme, so make sure to wear your plaid and jeans!

Admission is $5 at the door.

We look forward to seeing everyone there.

The media classes, taught

by Steve Jones, are back to work on the school website, sjchsrenfrew.wordpress. com. Sports, performing arts, Student Council, and general information can be found on this regularly updated site.

You can also find links to the SJHS Facebook page and Twitter account. St. Joe’s will be moving onto even more social media sites as the year goes on.

OPSBA strong voice for Renfrew County Jake Davies Renfrew County District School Board

News - After a challenging year in education, Renfrew County District School Board Chair David Kaiser is glad to have the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association (OPSBA) in Renfrew County’s corner.

OPSBA’s primary role is supporting its school boards.

It is the only democratically elected body with a specific responsibility for the education and wellbeing of publicly educated children and youth.

OPSBA provides a collective voice for public education while representing many divergent and unique interests of public school boards across the province.

Former RCDSB chair and current vice chair Dave Shields has spent 10 years associated with OSPBA as director, chair of the OPSBA Educational Policy Development Work Team and his current role as the vice president of the Eastern Region.

“I have come to appreciate OPSBA’s excellent staff who are always focused on what is best for students across the province,” Vice Chair Shields said.

“They have the respect of the provincial government and have positioned themselves to react to any government education policy, financial or regulation changes with welcomed input and feedback.

The Minister of Education, Liz Sandals understands the importance of our organization as she is an OPSBA past president.”

See VOICE, page 54

Phone: (613) 432-8166 | Fax: (613) 432-8265 Once again, the Town of Renfrew will be conducting drinking water sampling and testing for lead to comply with Ontario Regulations. The town is seeking volunteer test sites in single family homes, multi-unit buildings, commercial properties, and industrial properties.

Under the provincial legislation, the municipality must test the drinking water for lead at 40 private residences, 4 non-private residences, between September 15, 2013 and October 15, 2013.

Since the Town must access homes to test for the presence of lead, we are looking for volunteers to allow the Town of Renfrew staff access to their homes to collect samples. There will be NO charge to the resident for the testing of the lead sample.

Each sample will total three litres in each location and the regulations obligate the town to advise tenants of the test results as soon as they are available.

R0021563233

• Tests would be performed at older residences suspected of having lead pipes or pipes with lead solder.

• Homes built before the mid-1950s could have lead pipes.

• Lead solder was used to join copper pipes and was phased out in the late 1980s; any new construction done after those years should not be affected by lead in the piping system.

The higher risk individuals affected by lead that exceeds the standards are pregnant women, infants and children under the age of 6 years old.

The Town will require permission of the property owner to take the samples. If you wish to be added to the list of potential test sites please contact the Development and Works Department, Municipal Garage, Darl Gaudette at 613-432-4147.

Community - September marks the end of the summer, end of music festivals, with the kids going back to school and then the Renfrew Fair.

This year was yet another success, a big thank you to all the organizations, volunteers and individuals who made it as fun as it was for everyone. What a spectacular show of Renfrew and area farming and agriculture.

Once the fair ends, it marks and end to the summer here in Renfrew, time to wind down, take some time to breath and get ready for the cooler weather.

But it definitely isn’t time to hibernate!

Getting out an active is important for wellbeing, it makes you feel happier and can make

aches and pains disappear! Plus, it is good to get out now before the weather gets too cold!

A multitude of places around town offer different physical activity programs just for seniors.

At Golden Age Activity Centre, we offer free, drop in Yoga on Monday mornings at 10:30 a.m. with Ahalya Ananth, set in a chair for comfort for everyone.

tion to Water Colour, Computers (Intro and Step 2), Mah Jongg and more.

Of course, you can also just drop in between 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for some social time.

Renfrew Recreation is also offering a drop-in Forever Fit Class on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at the rec centre for seniors to drop in and get moving.

This program is modified for each individual and focusses on strength, flexibility and mobility. The cost is $3 per drop-in.

There are many other activities around town. RCAF Wing has a senior walking group from 9 a.m. to noon as well. Of course, there is always the option of just getting out and going for a walk by yourself or with friends and family!

fessional development modules, Code of Conduct templates, intervention on conflict of interest cases affecting the role of trustees, communications and media services, financial and legislative analyses, representation on issues related to implementation of Full Day Kindergarten, advocacy on health and safety, AODA policy templates and educator training resources.

Chair Kaiser feels the RCDSB benefits greatly from the value OPSBA brings with its ability to collectively influence education policy and be an advocate for investment in public education in Ontario.

“The RCDSB wisely utilizes many of the supports available to it thru OBSBA and as well benefits financially from lobbying efforts and consortiums allowing us to keep more dollars in our classrooms for our

teachers and students,” RCDSB Chair Kaiser said.

RCDSB Superintendent Jenkins says the collaborative nature of OPSBA allows the experts in the province to share their knowledge for the benefit of all students.

“OPSBA support through such initiatives as the Provincial Labour Relations Network (PLRN), the labour relations portal and the Annual Labour Relations Symposium is invaluable in building expert capacity amongst staff and trustees in member boards.” Superintendent Jenkins said.

“Not only does OPSBA facilitate networking and sharing of best practices in areas such as labour relations, the association is also a credible voice in advocating to the Ministry of Education on behalf of the students of Ontario.”

Vice Chair Shields feels OPSBA has a variety of methods of getting input from school boards from across the province.

“One of the most effective is through the regional meetings,” Shields said.

“All five regions meet regularly to discuss issues of concern and to share new initiatives and best practises. This permits small and large boards with an opportunity to make our concerns heard at the provincial level.”

OPSBA’s involvement in the School Energy Coalition has saved Ontario’s school boards approximately $122 million (more than $60 a student) through the last eight years.

Contractor jailed for unfinished roof The consumers had to find other contractors to complete the projects and their deposits were never refunded.

Justice of the Peace John Balkwill of the Ottawa Provincial Offences Court convicted Slobodzian on charges of: • engaging in an unfair practice by making a false, misleading or deceptive representation; • failing to refund payment within fifteen days of being given notice of cancellation of the consumer agreement; • failing to provide a consumer with a proper contract containing the information required by the Consumer Protection Act. In 2011, Slobodzian was convicted of similar offences and sentenced to 71 days in jail to be followed by two years’ probation.

His company was fined $90,000.

Upon release from jail, he failed to com-

ply with his term of probation and is currently facing additional charges.

The ministry advises consumers to be aware that Slobodzian has recently carried on business as Country Comfort. Slobodzian is also facing charges under this new organization.

Consumers are reminded to check the ministry’s Consumer Beware List at www. ontario.ca/consumerbeware before doing business with any company.

Ontario’s Consumer Protection Act, 2002 provides for fines of up to $250,000 for corporations and $50,000 for individuals convicted of offences.

It also provides for jail terms of up to two years less a day for each offence.

The act also empowers the court to order offenders to pay compensation or make restitution to victims.

News – A roofing contractor operating in Ottawa and the Upper Ottawa Valley has been sentenced to jail for unfairly treating customers.

On Aug. 15, Philip Slobodzian, operating in the area as PSC New Home Construction Inc., was convicted for the third time on several charges under Ontario’s Consumer Protection Act. He was sentenced to four months in jail followed by two years’ probation and ordered to pay more than $12,500 restitution to consumers. PSC New Home Construction was fined $41,000. Between May 2009 and May 2011, five consumers in the Ottawa area entered into agreements with Slobodzian to have their roofs re-shingled, the court was told. They paid deposits, each of their roofs was stripped of their existing shingles - but no further work was done.

vehicle and another man (age unconfirmed) died when he lost control of his off-road vehicle (ORV).

“Despite the tragic loss of three lives this past weekend, when we look at the last five years, I am encouraged to see a 23 per cent decline in Labour Day weekend fatal road crashes in OPP jurisdiction and a 100 per cent drop in marine fatalities on OPP policed waterways,” said Chief Superintendent Don, Bell, Commander, OPP Highway Safety Division.

“In contrast, Labour Day weekend ORV fatalities are up 25 per cent over the same five-year period and I encourage the ORV community to work with the OPP to reduce these numbers,” added Bell.

drivers continue to pose a risk to road users this past weekend, with our officers laying 397 distracted driving charges compared to 107 impaired driving charges”, said Deputy Commissioner Larry Beechey, Provincial Commander, Traffic Safety and Operational Support.

According to Beechey, aggressive driving continues to be a significant problem on long weekends and the Labour Day weekend was no exception with 6,078 speeding charges and 64 street racing charges being laid (for driving 50 km/h or more over the posted speed limit).

Various other charges were laid, including 535 seat belt charges and a total of 87 Warn Range suspensions to drivers over the alcohol limit.

As part of their ongoing efforts to save lives, the OPP stepped up enforcement on highways, waterways and trails over the weekend and particular attention was being cast on motorists who were caught driving distracted.

1913: The Dominion House reopens

Monthly Column by

John

SEPTEMBER 19, 1913

YAKABUSKI MPP

www.johnyakabuski.com While you may have thought Ontario’s electricity policy couldn’t get any more bizarre, it just did.

This week the Independent Electricity Systems Operator (IESO), under orders from the Liberal government, began paying wind operators to not produce electricity. So let’s get this straight; we’re now paying for something we’re not getting.

Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli crowed that this is a great policy shift that is going to save Ontario about $200 million dollars a year. This is the kind of Liberal logic that has them on track to more than double Ontario’s debt since the Liberals took power in 2003.

Now what Minister Chiarelli is referring to is that the deal they’ve made with wind producers will actually cost less than if we bought the electricity from them. Fair enough. I guess the question should be “how much would we save if we didn’t buy it at all?”

His reasoning is like the person who goes out and buys something they don’t need, have no use for and can’t afford, but they bought it anyway because it was on sale. And since they bought it on sale, they go on bragging about all the money they saved. If they’d never bought it, they would have saved a lot more right? Those items are usually found in a yard sale a few years later selling for about 5% of that so-called good deal.

This latest move by the Liberals is an admission that their Green Energy Act, and the exorbitant contracts they’ve bound you to through your hydro bills, was a huge mistake. Now that we know that wind power has been a colossal failure that cannot be depended on, why is this government intent on moving ahead with plans to triple the amount of wind power we have in this province? If you’re paying these people not to produce power, it just makes no sense. But that’s exactly what they intend to do.

In fact Kathleen Wynne proclaimed that the Liberals will continue down this road because it’s the path of the future. You and I know it is the road to ruin.

The big wind developers are getting rich and it is homeowners, small businesses and industry that are paying the price.

A little understood portion of the electricity bill called the “global adjustment” is also driving up the cost, and was pegged at 8.72cents/kwh for the month of September. That 8.72 cents/kwh is the cost of honouring these ridiculous contracts to power developers. That’s over 3 times the cost of the power itself. It’s also now reflecting the cost of the Liberals gas plant cancellation scandal as well.

This, while the average wholesale price of electricity in Ontario has been about 2.8cents/kwh in 2013.

Their mismanagement and self-serving decisions will very likely see your electricity bill continue to rise.

The cost of electricity continues to be one of the issues most frequently brought to my attention as I travel through the Valley and speak to constituents.

The wrong-headed decisions that the Liberals continue to make, even when they’ve been proven wrong, only goes to show what I have said so many times; that satisfying their special interests, political friends and those that can keep them in power continues to be of greater importance to them than the welfare of Ontario’s economy and its citizens.

The PC party has made it very clear that under a Tim Hudak led government this insanity would end.

Lifestyles - DOMINION HOUSE REOPENS: The Dominion House was re-opened on Monday 15th last, according to schedule, and although not yet completely finished was able to do business. Mr. Moon, the manager, was nearly buying the Dominion House many years ago, just before the close of the Plaunt regime, but did not make the purchase owing to the problems of heating the establishment; which is to be solved in 1912 by a central heating plant.

But Mr. Moon remembered that the cellar had a brick floor and so, when the men started to clean up last week and were first scraping off a little of the dirt, he put the spade down deep and reached the brick, which the easy method of tenants had allowed to be covered deep. The old Dominion hasn’t had a thorough cleaning up since the Plaunts left it.

Community events registry now active Douglas and Gladys Sidock Community Events Registry

Community - As noted in a previous article, we are developing a community events registry which, if utilized by Renfrew and surrounding area, should help to avoid conflicting bookings. To clarify, this is not an events calendar. We have access to such wonderful calendars at The Renfrew Mercury, MyFm and Valley Heritage Radio.

The registry is to check on dates prior to booking to determine if there would be other similar events on at the same time.

We are pleased to note that to date we have contacted 70 groups and 32 have registered with us.

Thanks to Admaston, Horton, Eganville and Cobden groups from the surrounding townships who have called early, along with several in our own area.

To register you simply call 613432-2549 or email sidock@nrtco. net.

We have a listing of 22 events scheduled for the remainder of 2013 and 27 events already for 2014. As an example, one group called because they are booking an expensive entertainment group for 2014 and wanted to know available dates to avoid having a similar event at or around the same time which would affect ticket sales.

We have been able to avoid two conflicts in 2014 by discovering similar events for the same date and both of these groups were able to solve the problem.

The sooner you become involved in the registry the more it will benefit all clubs , organizations and fundraising groups in assisting success with projects.

If we have missed contacting your group please notify us by phone or email as listed above.

Our motto is: Working Together for an Active Community.

Only when I went through the gate, also badly in need of repair and never, ever did I see it closed, but always hanging open on one hinge, I left the twentyacre field behind me, and I would breathe a sigh of relief that I had once again made it safely.

Coming home presented a problem though. My little friend Velma knew I was frightened of my own shadow, and so she would walk with me half-way through the field, and stand there as I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, home.

And as soon as I would reach the grape arbour, I would turn and wave to Velma and she would return to her own home. I marvelled at how brave was my little friend Velma.

In the wintertime, when the hay had long since been taken off, and only stubble remained, I would wait for the snow to come and cover the field with a white blanket. The field looked bigger then, I thought. As soon as there was enough snow to make the field passable, Father would take the team of horses, hitch them to the big flat-bottomed sleigh and make many trips back and forth across the field to make a path. It would be

the buggy in the summer and the cutter in the winter, over to the Thom’s homestead.

When the hay had yet to be harvested, we walked close to the fence that was in constant need of repair, but both Uncle Alec and Father could see no reason to fix it. “We don’t need a fence to tell us where our land lies,” Uncle Alec would say whenever the subject came up to prop up the bent-over posts, and maybe replace the wiring.

And so, most of the time the fence was either lying flat on the ground, or so bent over, you could step across the wiring without touching a shoe to it.

If I was on my way to my friend’s farm, across the 20-acre field in the summertime, I walked close to the falling fence. I was sure if I walked through the hay; I would get lost and never see my mother again, because the crop, by mid-summer was far over my head. Being the meek child that I was, when I started out across the 20acre field to visit Velma, I would ask Mother to stand by the grape arbour, so that I could turn every 10 feet or so, wave to her, and make sure if any danger befell me, I could run for home.

Mary Cook’s Memories

as straight as a die. Leading from our yard at the side of our house, and right over to the opening in the fence where the gate hung by a hinge.

My very favourite time for crossing the 20-acre field was in the dead of winter. When the air was crystal clear, and bitterly cold, and the full moon overhead hung like a huge lit lantern. Going across the field to the Thoms was a special treat at any time, but in the winter, on a cold night, was my very favourite. It would take about 20 minutes to cross the field, all of us bundled up like mummies on the flat-bottomed sleigh.

And from under the blankets covering us, keeping out the cold, the twenty-acre field looked like an immense white bedspread.

After a fresh snow, the field sparkled like millions of diamonds, and I felt the utmost joy and peace. I thought how blessed we were to own that special tract of land. It was supposed to separate the two farms, but in fact, it tied us together.

Today, centuries later, the 20-acre field is still there. There still isn’t much of a fence, and its ground is rutted from hundreds of sleighs, wagons and horses using it as a way of getting from one farm to another.

And through a child’s eyes, so many years ago, the 20acre field was a symbol of the times linking neighbours, creating a bond, like a good and warm handshake.

Lifestyle - It was always called the 20-acre field.

And yet Father said it was far more than twenty acres.

He said if you counted the bush at the north end, you could add another couple acres to it. But we always called it the 20-acre field. It separated our farm from our neighbours, the Thoms.

Although they were no relation, we always called them Uncle Alec and Aunt Bertha. Children back in those days never called an adult by their first name, and so the parents of our best friends in Northcote were always called Aunt and Uncle.

The 20 acres was always a hay field. Father said the soil was best for hay, and other crops were planted on the fields beyond the West Hill, where there was rich black loam, ideal for wheat, barley and oats.

For reasons unknown, all of the farms in that part of Northcote were laid out in long narrow strips, and on our side, there were no exceptions. Father always said you could spit across our fields, they were so narrow, but our farm ran from the Northcote Side Road, straight south and across the Bonnechere...this long narrow piece of farmland that had seen three generations of Father’s family live and die.

But the 20-acre field was more than just a field.

When the hay had been taken off, you could see the path where dozens of times, we had walked, rode horseback, or taken

One of our most revered Canadians, Terry Fox continues to live on through the huge number of Canadians who proudly utter his name during events held in his name.

But Renfrewites also draw on the examples of others who have won, or lost, their battles with cancer.

The Terry Fox Run, which hit year No. 33 this year, was celebrated with the help of encouraging words from cancer survivor Paige Dillabough.

Diagnosed with brain cancer at age eight, the Renfrew teenager had her courage bead necklace, which weighs maybe 40 pounds, displayed at Sunday’s start line for the Renfrew Terry Fox Run. The 19-year-old, who weighs 85 pounds, jested that the necklace, whose beads tell different parts about of her battle with cancer, weighs more than she does. For example, blue beads represent overnight stays at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, while rainbow beads represent major surgery.

“I used to count the number of beads, but I gave up (counting) a while ago, because there are too many to count,” she told the crowd that included about 115 registrants.

“As you can see by my beads, I have visited a lot of doctors and spent a bunch of nights in the hospital, and the number of red beads shows that I have had my blood tested and needles more than you can imagine.”

Cancer, she continued, isn’t something she or Terry Fox wanted to endure. However, in honouring his memory and continuing his fundraising efforts, she said the Terry Fox Run is something everyone, regardless of age.

“So, as you walk today, in Terry Fox’s memory, raising funds, take pride in the fact you have made a difference in the life of a cancer patient, and made their cancer journey just a little easier.”

Key parts of the local Terry Fox Run are sisters Sheena Pilgrim and Tanya Campbell who co-ordinate the event.

They lost their mother, Lois LeClaire, to cancer in 2005.

At the start line, Pilgrim told participants that Renfrew Terry Fox Runs since 1982 have raised a “remarkable” $337,000 for cancer research.

By day’s end, the amount raised for the local Terry Fox Run had reached $17,000, with more to come from school events and other local donors.

STEVE NEWMAN/METROAND

April Scheuneman is ready to join her kids to walk two kilometres around the track, as part of Sunday’s Renfrew Terry Fox Run. The family youngsters, from left, are three-yearold twins Sawyer and Summer, and one-year-old Tucker.

That success, said Pilgrim, is linked to the “indemonstrable spirit” that Terry Fox found while running the roads during his 1980 Marathon of Hope.

“And it clear to us that this same sprit lives on today in loyal supporters like you,” pointed out Pilgrim.

“Terry Fox said, ‘I want to try the impossible to show that it can be done.’ Thank you for helping to make the impossible possible. We are eternally grateful.”

Although the run represents a continuation of Fox’s marathon, Pilgrim said it’s also a way to “honour and celebrate our own personal heroes; those

among us and those near and dear to us who have survived, or lost, their fight to cancer.”

After raising more than $17,000 from this year’s run, Campbell said, “We’re down slightly from last year, both in participants and dollars, but we recognize that Renfrew has many fundraising events and that people are stretched to give to so many charities.”

Activities included three draws. Wal-Mart $25 gift cards went to Carson Moran and Paula Inglis, while Meghan Wright and Jayne Styles won packs of five subways, and Kevin Briscoe won two green fees at Dragonfly Golf Links.

Renfrew Terry Fox Run participants included Team Heins Pink members, whose pink-hat motto is: Together we can make a difference. Four of the team members, from left, are Eleanor Heins, Susan Heins, dog Lola and Carol (nee Heins) McLeod, who is a cancer survivor.
