Amber alert hits close to home TIFFANY LEPACK

tlepack@metroland.com

It was like something out of a movie. Friday, Sept. 15, a Dacre couple watched a wanted man get arrested in their backyard. Barb and John Friske were at their home on Hwy. 132 between Dacre and Eganville when they heard what sounded like someone with a flat tire drive on to their property. “We went to see if he got hurt,” said John. “The police started yelling at us to go back in the house, go back in the house, so we went in.” Barb then pointed at the garage and told the officers who were looking for a man in relation to an Amber Alert that spread across Quebec and Ontario that it was open. John said it just clicked they were looking for the wanted man from Quebec. “Then I saw him out our bedroom window climbing over the fence and dragging the young lad. I told the cops and they started to yell at him to get down,” said John. “He had a stick over the young lad. They tased him and he dropped.” John then watched as a female officer went and grabbed the boy. “He was crying. He was terrified, but he didn’t physically look hurt,” said John. “It was heartbreaking to see that. His face was red and you

could tell he had been crying.” Barb gave the boy a freezie and then they were gone. Although the pair did not look at their watch, John estimates the whole ordeal only lasted about five minutes, beginning at approximately 4:45 p.m. He says there was a minimum of a dozen officers on scene with cars, SUVs and two helicopters. “It was quite a blast of adrenaline,” said John who never feared for his own safety because the amount of police on hand. “It was fast, it was something like you see on television or a movie. I’ve never seen anything like that and I hope that it doesn’t happen again.” The man, whose name is not being published to protect the identity of the child, has now been charged with second degree murder in the death of his partner, the boy’s mother. She was found dead in her St-Eustache, Que., home last Thursday, Sept. 14, which triggered an Amber Alert for a missing six-year-old boy. The alert spanned hundreds of kilometres and lasted until the man was arrested and the boy was found safe in Dacre, outside of the Friskes’ home. The second-degree murder charge was filed by Quebec prosecutors in Saint-Jérôme court Monday. The suspect remains in an Ottawa hospital. For more on this story, see page 3.

“Male is in custody…and the child is safe.” An Amber Alert that began in Quebec ended southwest of Renfrew Friday with the safe retrieval of the child and apprehension of the boy’s 41-year-old father. The male was formally charged Sept. 18 with second degree murder. Renfrew County Scanner posted audio of the police pursuit and apprehension on YouTube. The clip ends with a female OPP officer reporting the successful apprehension of the suspect and status of the child. The Amber Alert was triggered about 5:30 p.m. Thursday in St-Eustache, Que., with the discovery that a woman had been killed and her six-year-old son was missing. While the names of those involved were earlier being reported, they are no longer being released since the boy is in the care of Quebec youth services. In a well-executed police operation involving multiple units, including two helicopters, a sometimes high-speed chase came to an end near Dacre with the use of a spike belt to stop the suspect’s vehicle just past the junction of Highways 41 and 132. Early Friday morning, police discovered the suspect’s white Ford pickup truck abandoned at a highway rest area in Lachute, Que. Police believe it was in Lachute that the suspect got access a charcoal-coloured Honda registered to 71-year-old Yvon Lacasse, who is still missing. It was this vehicle in which the suspect was apprehended. Friday afternoon, the vehicle was spotted on Hwy. 41 northbound from Cloyne and local emergency officials were notified. Members of the Napanee OPP and neighbouring detachments began an active search with the assistance of several OPP resources including Emergency Response Team, Canine Unit, Helicopter Unit, East Region Regional Support Team, all of which were under the direction of case manager, Detective Insp. Daniel Nadeau with the Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB). The 41-year-old Quebec male was apprehended on Hwy. 132 southwest of Renfrew after a spike belt was deployed. “The suspect fled the vehicle where a short foot pursuit ensued and was apprehended by our uniformed officers,” said an OPP press release. The six-year-old child was located in the vehicle and taken into police custody. “The child is in good physical health and under the care of child services,” said the release. The suspect was held in custody at the Renfrew detachment and appeared via video link for a bail hearing on Saturday, Sept. 16. Provincial media relations co-ordinator Staff Sgt. Carolle Dionne told media outlets the suspect was injured and transported by ambulance to hospital on Saturday afternoon. At 1:30 p.m., the courts decided to release the male into the custody of the Sûreté du Québec, Québec’s provincial police force. By 3:30 p.m., Dionne had been told that the man had been taken to hospital by ambulance. “At this point there’s no information as to the type of injuries or the extent of his injuries,” Dionne told the Toronto Star. She could not say how the injuries were sustained, but said that police were not looking for suspects regarding the injuries. He will be transferred to Quebec when he is released from hospital. In a Monday Sept. 18 press release, OPP confirmed the report. “On Saturday, Sept. 16, the accused sustained an injury while in his cell that required medical attention. He was transported to a local hospital for medical assessment. He currently remains in medical care at a local hospital in Ottawa. Special Investigations Unit (SIU) was notified at the time of the incident,” said the release. Members of the OPP continue to assist the Sûreté du Quebec with their investigation and the security detail involving the accused. In addition, a parallel investigation is ongoing into any criminal offences that occurred in the province of

Ontario, under the direction of OPP Case Manager, Detective Inspector Daniel Nadeau with the Criminal Investigations Branch (CIB). “The OPP would like to thank the members of the public for their assistance in helping locate the suspect which resulted in the safe apprehension of the child,” said the release. Police continue to search for 71-yearold Lachute, Que. resident Yvon Lacasse, whose SUV Fredette was driving at the time of his arrest. Lacasse is described as bald with brown eyes. He is five feet four inches tall and weighs around 155 pounds.

8:00 A.M. TO 4:30 P.M. Flushing is part of a routine maintenance program that is necessary to maintain the integrity of the water system. The hydrant will be opened to discharge water and pressure tests will be performed. This procedure ensures that all hydrants and valves are working properly and any problem areas are identified. It also flushes and cleans the mains and helps to maintain chlorine residual in the drinking water. NOTE: During this process the homeowner should refrain from running their washing machine or using a dishwasher. You may notice brownish sediment in the water. To clear this common problem, let a COLD WATER tap run (suggested taps: outside hose, bathtub or laundry tub) for a short period of time until clear water returns. Please DO NOT use your hot water until you have clean water again. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have any questions, please contact the Department of Development & Works at 613-432-8166. Thank you for your co-operation.

GRAND ROUNDS

Local quilting guild sews up support for RVH The Quilters Guild of Renfrew and Area stitched up a special quilt to commemorate Canada’s 150th birthday and support our community hospital in a special way. Every year, members of the guild form a charity quilt group to work on a unique creation for a good cause. “Since this is Canada’s 150th, we wanted to incorporate maple leaves,” notes group member Lynn McFarlane. Their masterpiece was truly the result of a group effort with all members contributing.

The president of the guild, Susan Taylor, purchased fabric for the border, and members drew additional fabrics from their personal ‘stashes’ to coordinate. “We each made a certain number of blocks and I sewed them all together,” says McFarlane adding that someone else sewed on the border and it was professionally quilted on a long-arm machine by a local quilter. It was also a group decision as to their charity of choice this year. “We made a short list of worthy charitable organizations and settled on the RVH Foundation,”

explains McFarlane, who has a personal connection to the hospital. “We chose RVH at my s u g ge s t i on b e c au s e t h e hospital does so much good for the entire community and my husband especially. My husband, Gary, has used its services hundreds of times over the years, both emergency and dialysis. The members of the charity quilt group wanted to give whatever support we could to such a stellar institution.” The quilt was raffled off at the Foundation’s annual Caring for Tomorrow Charity Golf Classic and raised $3,000, which was matched by Renfrew Scotiabank. “We were all thrilled at the amount of money the quilt helped raise for the Foundation,” concludes McFarlane. During a summer tour of the hospital by guild members, Barb Desilets, RVH Foundation Executive Director, thanked them for choosing RVH.

“ T h e Fou n d at i on an d the tournament organizing committee were thrilled to receive such a special contribution. We

really appreciate the time and work that went into creating the quilt as well as the funds raised to support RVH,” said Desilets.

A Canada 150-themed quilt was created by a number of members from the Quilters Guild of Renfrew and Area as a gift to the RVH Foundation. Some of the guild members were on hand for a tour of RVH.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Pot plan good first step Despite some reports that the sky is falling, Canada will legalize marijuana next year, and in Ontario, the government will be the only legal seller. This strict control – sales and distribution through LCBO channels – is a good idea. Ontario government sales will mean the proceeds of pot sales are removed from the hands of organized crime, and at the same time, will add a new tax revenue stream to support public services. The system proposed by the Ontario government will deliver quality control too, so users can be sure nothing scary has been added to their weed. With sales restricted to people age 19 and over, any “allure” of doing something illegal is removed. If the grey-hairs are puffing joints, how rebellious will it feel for a teen to get their hands on a baggie of pot? The LCBO system should also mean predictable prices and supply. And the staff will be the same professionals who run our liquor stores. And most importantly, we will no longer see smokers receive criminal records. Those records hold people back and keep

them from jobs where they could be more productive. To complete the sensible pot legalization circle, the Trudeau Liberals should erase the criminal records of anyone who, in the past, was convicted of marijuana possession. The only puzzling Queen’s Park decision is promising to create new pot outlets apart from existing liquor stores. Given that every LCBO store has good security and cash-handling processes, it makes no sense to create new places to sell pot, especially given the number of outlets that would be required across this huge province. It would be cheaper and more efficient to carve out one corner of each liquor store to sell pot. Separate outlets would require at least three staff members – no one will work alone of course – and someone has to give the others lunch breaks. In an existing liquor store, one or two staff members could move back and forth from the marijuana outlet to the liquor cash registers as required. But the sky is not falling. People smoke pot now and they will smoke pot after July 2018. They just won’t be arrested for it.

Ma-Te-Way Aquatic Centre Committee rejects recreation director’s proposal To the editor:

A report on a recreation facility expansion was presented on Monday Sept. 11 at a meeting of the committee of the whole in council chambers, by Kevin Hill in his capacity as recreation director. The proposed project envisions a second ice pad and recreation centre/offices being built at Ma-Te-Way immediately, with an aquatic facility to follow, possibly in a few years. The Ma-Te-Way Aquatic Centre Committee (MACC) does not support the proposal for the following reasons: • Most of our committee lived through an identical, phased plan in 1989, which resulted in an ice surface but no aquatic center. • We are an advocacy group for an aquatic facility, and most of us have no confidence advocating for other types of facility with which we have no experience. • We are concerned that if capital is expended on a second ice pad, it will consume all the financial resources of the town for many years to come, thereby making construction of anything else impossible. • We feel it not in the best interest of the citizens of Renfrew to create a redundant recreational facility to serve the same 5-10 per cent of the population that the current ice pad serves. • Neither council nor the mayor has the ability to contract

with any group to carry out projects that may or may not take place after their current mandate. • The demographics of the town, region and indeed the country support an “all ages, all seasons” recreation facility such as a full service aquatic facility over an ice pad. • The MACC does not perceive the creation of a second ice pad as providing an essential life skill and a therapeutic option for the elderly and disabled. • The choice of a second ice pad over an aquatic center runs contrary to the findings of all of the studies that the town has paid for over the past 30 years. • If the cost of building and maintaining an aquatic facility is deemed excessive now, it is unlikely that the town’s finances will change sufficiently to allow it to be done in the foreseeable future. • The present arena has received taxpayers’ support each year since it was built. In 2016 a total of $274.000 of taxpayers’ money or 3.4 per cent on everyone’s tax bill was needed to keep the arena operating. Over the last 27 years an average of $200,000 of taxpayers’ money was required each and every year to keep the arena operating. This amounts to in excess of $5,000,000. If this money had been put away there would have been sufficient funds in the bank to build an Aquatic Centre today. • The MACC feels that the recreation committee’s research into aquatic facilities has been cursory, using two outdated com-

parator operations as the only basis for the assumptions made regarding operating cost, and not considering the information that the MACC has presented over the years as a result of its research. • We don’t perceive the issue as divisive. The choice of what to build and why is entirely up to the town’s elected representatives. We are merely advocating on behalf of the majority of Renfrew residents who see an aquatic center as the number one recreation priority. A recent photograph from our local paper illustrated the lamentable progress our community has made in providing aquatic opportunity for its citizens. In the summer of 1969, a total of 67 young citizens were taught swimming skills at the old Renfrew beach. Now, no provision is made by our community to meet this need. This is why we feel an aquatic facility is a first priority.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR THOSE ON THE MADAWASKA AND OTTAWA RIVERS After Thanksgiving, Monday, October 9, the summer water level minimums will end on the Ottawa and Madawaska Rivers. Ontario Power Generation (OPG) will adjust its operations within allowable operating levels using the fall/winter requirements. This will result in lower water levels. Also be advised that a “draw down” will occur in late October or early November on the Madawaska River at Calabogie Generating Station (GS) and Stewartville GS, and on the Ottawa River at Chenaux GS. This “draw down” from summer water level minimums will begin as temperatures drop in order to encourage amphibians like frogs, as well as turtles, to hibernate safely for the winter. This is an initiative supported by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. Residences and businesses along these rivers are advised to take all necessary precautions to ensure the lower water does not affect their properties. As always, exercise caution around OPG facilities. If you have any questions, please call Jennifer Gardiner 613-433-9673, ext. 3350.

OPP continue to deal with impaired drivers On Thursday, Sept. 13 at 1:15 p.m. OPP officers responded to a report of a possible impaired driver in Renfrew. Officers located and stopped the suspect vehicle. The male driver had been drinking and was arrested for impaired driving. Following breath tests at the detachment a 74-year-old Horton Township man was charged with impaired driving, and several Highway Traffic Act charges including driving while under suspension, driving under licence of other jurisdiction while suspended in Ontario, failing to surrender a suspended driver’s licence and contravening a licence condition. He was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew on Oct. 25 for the criminal charge and was issued a summons to appear in traffic court in Renfrew on Oct. 27. Provincial Const. Tony Gardiner led the investigation. On Saturday, Sept. 16 at approximately 11:30 p.m. officers received a call of a possible impaired driver on Stewartville Road in the Township of McNab/Braeside. Officers located the suspect vehicle and stopped the driver. The male driver had been drinking and failed a roadside alcohol screening test. Following further tests at the detachment a 19-year-old McNab/ Braeside Township man was charged with driving over 80mgs. He was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew on Oct. 25. Const. Patrick O’Connor investigated. Members of the public play an integral part of road safety when they report suspected impaired drivers to the police. The OPP encourage you to call 9-1-1 to report a suspected impaired driver, as this crime quite often claims innocent

lives on our roadways. Provide as much information as possible, including a description of the vehicle, a licence plate, a description of the driver if possible and the road they are on and direction of travel is excellent information that helps officers stop impaired driving. Drivers can use cell phones to call 9-1-1(if you feel it is safe to do so) as calling 9-1-1 is an exception to the distracted driving law. The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) investigated 301 calls for service during the past week. Domestic Violence Arnprior and Renfrew officers investigated 12 domestic disputes during the past week. One male was charged with assault and two counts of domestic mischief, one female was charged with assault and domestic mischief, one male was charged with assault and one male was charged with domestic mischief. No other criminal offences took place. Uttering Threats One male is facing charges after threatening several people. OPP officers began investigating on Sunday, Sept. 10 when someone reported a male who resides on Mary Street in Douglas uttered threats to harm several people with a firearm. A warrant for the arrest of the male was issued by a Justice of the Peace and a warrant to enter the home of the male was also granted. The OPP Tactics and Rescue Unit (TRU) team was utilized and a 54-year-old man from Douglas was arrested and held for a bail hear-

ing on Sept. 12. PC Derek Andrechek led the investigation. Thefts Property was stolen from the bed of a pickup truck while parked at the Eagle’s Nest hiking trail on Calabogie Road on Saturday, Sept. 9 between 10 a.m. and noon. There were no witnesses. Items were also stolen from a locked pickup truck while parked at the Centennial Lake municipal boat launch on the same date in the morning. The thief got into the truck through the rear sliding window and stole lottery tickets, change and fishing gear including tackle boxes, an Abu Garcia fishing rod and reel and other

gear. A packsack containing clothing and USB sticks were stolen from an unlocked vehicle on Renfrew Avenue E in Renfrew overnight on Tuesday Sept. 12. Crime Stoppers Crime Stoppers Pembroke/Renfrew County believes that someone may have information that could assist police in solving these crimes. If you have info on any criminal offence that results in charges being laid, you qualify for an award of up to $2,000. Call 735-8477 or toll free at 1-800222-8477. All tips remain anonymous and you will not have to attend court.

Caroline James feeds one of the approximately 20 cats in the semi feral cat colony near Douglas. Valley Animal Rescue has partnered with her to help with the Grist Mill Colony and are seeking support from the community.

Volunteers seek help with Grist Mill Colony near Douglas TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com

“Here kitty, kitty, kitty.” Caroline James calls out to the approximately 20 cats and kittens in her semi-feral cat colony as she gently shakes a dish with cat food in it. The small, frail, 63-year-old has lived on her family farm near Douglas, since she was five years old. People have been dropping stray and pregnant cats off for as long as she can remember. But now it is too much for her and her Ottawa-based sister after their parents died in 2014. In early August they set up a partnership with Valley Animal Rescue (VAR) to help care for the cats, but are reaching out for help. VAR was connected to the sisters with the Grist Mill Colony via the Renfrew Animal Hospital. “It’s a slow process because we have to raise the money as we go,” said Valerie Hutchinson, who has been the president of VAR since its inception in 2012, when it became a registered charity. “They will be vaccinated, sterilized, treated for all internal and external parasites and any infections present.” Any kittens that are young enough to be socialized and placed in homes will go through the foster program and be adopted out. “We want to get them into a good state of health for those returning to the colony,” said Hutchinson. “Hopefully the colony will age out once all the cats are fixed. Some of the cats will come back here and Caroline will be supported to maintain the colony until the end of its life.” VAR has already managed five feral colonies

in Renfrew County in Cobden, Hynford, Eganville, Haley’s Station, and Colton Lake. Hutchinson admits it is a huge project for a small local rescue and will require many volunteer hours and funds. “We are seeking donations; money for vet care, cat food, that’s our biggest need (they use a 16 kg bag a dry cat food in about a week). And we need volunteers to foster and socialize the colony kittens and cats.” The logistics of the process to catch the wild cats to take them into the vet is also a long job. “Everything has to line up,” said Hutchinson. “It’s a long process.” For James, her eyes light up when taking about the support she is receiving from VAR. “It makes me feel wonderful they are able to come and help,” said James. “It’s a great relief because we have tried the best we can. I appreciate it so much, I was just getting overwhelmed.” For anyone who is interested in fostering a cat/kitten, VAR covers all of the costs, including food/medical/litter. The only thing they ask is for the animal to get to and from its appointments. “There is no cost to being a foster except time and patience,” said Hutchinson. Donations can be made toward the care of the Grist Mill Colony at canadahelps.org under Valley Animal Rescue (Grist Mill Colony Fund), by e-transfer to email: valleyanimalrescue@hotmail.com, by direct donation to the account at Renfrew Animal Hospital or by cheque to: Valley Animal Rescue, P.O. Box #214 Renfrew ON, K7V 4A3.

Hospice gives thanks

Hospice Renfrew held its annual corporate and community sponsors thank you event on Wednesday, Sept. 13. Staff estimate there are approximately 200 corporate and community sponsors and without them they don’t know if they would be able to keep the doors open. During the event a major fundraising announcement was made. The Valley Heritage Radio board of directors announced the station is partnering with Hospice Renfrew for the 2017 Holly Jolly Radiothon and all money raised from the event on Dec. 2 will go directly to hospice. As well they will not only be the beneficiaries in 2017 but 2018 and 2019 as well. Hospice board member Connie Legg chats on air with Jason Marshall and Jim Long from the station about the big announcement.

Masons donate to Hospice Renfrew

Submitted

The Freemasons of Renfrew Lodge No. 122 through the Renfrew Charity Focus Group donate their fifth of five annual $1,000 to Hospice Renfrew on Sept. 13. Pictured above is Karen McEwen – Hospice Renfrew board member, Scott Rodden – Mason member, Donna Anderson – Hospice Renfrew board secretary, Gordon Cross, Keith Richard, Richard Dean, Mason members, and Gerald Tracey – Hospice Renfrew board chair. Some members of Renfrew Lodge No. 122 and their families have used Hospice Renfrew and after examining the overall purpose of offering its services to families throughout Renfrew County, the brethren have deemed it to be a worthy cause and established their five-year plan to make annual donations. Right: Judy Cobus, acting executive director for Hospice Renfrew and Renfrew Mayor Don Eady at the appreciation event.

When a woman is murdered by her intimate partner, the reaction of the community is that of disbelief, alarm and grief. Rightfully so, as it is shocking to imagine that a “love” relationship could transform into intentional abuse and eventually death. Our shock about that final, lethal act sometimes prevents us from acknowledging the matter at hand: abuse is wrong and it is sadly all too common. Abuse hides in the shadows, in part, because silence unintentionally allows it to. When violence finally becomes public — the murder hits local and social media and there is an outpouring of sorrow. We express our sadness in many ways and react accordingly. We may shed tears, attend vigils, support groups, etc. Yet, we often disregard a vital step, outrage. It is not easy to rise up and speak the anger that we have within, and do so in a manner that is productive, helpful and useful. When Anastasia Kuzyk, Nathalie Warmerdam and Carol Culleton were murdered in and near Wilno on Sept. 22, 2015, our communities joined together to mourn. We were shaken to the very core of our sense of safety and security. We shared our grief, fear and gathered in support, echoing a shared outrage. The collective roar shattered the facade and brought the reality of intimate partner

violence to the surface. It also highlighted the reality of no public transportation, geographic isolation, unlawful access to weapons and the need for continued public education and awareness of abuse and intimate partner violence. We are not all in a position to publicly rally or protest. But, we can show our support in many private ways. If we know someone experiencing abuse, we can acknowledge it. We can speak with family members, friends, co-workers and neighbours and let them know we are prepared to listen. We can let them know we care about them and that they share no blame. We can teach our children that abuse in any form is wrong and we can set examples of healthy relationships. We can also speak up, challenge sexiest jokes, role model kindness and let others know where our line in the sand is. At Bernadette McCann House, we welcome anyone who wishes to Stand Up Against Violence to have their photo taken, with a sign, that is posted to our website (see wsssbmh.org and click on “Get Involved”). The stigma of abuse need not prevail and the silence can be broken. If you would like to know more or are experiencing abuse please call any time at 613-731-3131 or toll free at 1-800-267-4930.

Timberwolves and Kings both win CCHL2 home openers TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com

Three home openers equalled three victories for local Central Canada Tier 2 Hockey League Teams this week. Sept. 13, the Renfrew Timberwolves won their home opener 5-3 over the Carleton Place Jr. Canadians. Curtis Foster and Andrew McIntyre both had a pair for the Wolves and Luka Marinic added the other. On Sept. 14 the Packers fell to the

Ottawa West Golden Knights on the road 5-2, with Alex Caparelli and Mason Farnes getting on the score sheet for Arnprior. The Packers turned things around for their home opener on Sept. 15 as they easily defeated the Wolves 10-3. In an offensive explosion seven different players scored for the Packers, including a hat trick by Ty Power, two from Brandon English and singles from Colin Baggio, Davis Goodwin, Andrew MacKinnon and Caparelli.

Chad Moore, Marinic and Braden Zvonarich scored for the Timberwolves. It was a full house for the Whitewater Kings’ exciting home opener on Sept. 16 as the Kings defeated the Wolves 2-1 in overtime. The tight game saw no scoring in the first period. Evan Gillan scored for the Timberwolves in the second, assisted by Jack Rouleau and Brandon Hanniman. The Kings tied it up earlier in the third period with a goal by Law-

son Leclaire, assisted by Reid Barber and Quinn Vanhoof. The home side didn’t have to wait long into the extra frame as Gage Tremblay secured the Kings first-ever home victory at 3:05, assisted by Peter White and Michael Hubers. THIS WEEKS GAMES

Sold-out crowd at NHA Museum’s ‘Where were you in ‘72?’ fundraiser TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com

The NHA/NHL Birthplace Museum scored a hat trick as it welcomed three special guests on Sept. 14 and raised approximately $5,000 during its sold-out event. The museum hosted ‘Where were you in ’72?’ at the MaTe-Way Activity Centre to celebrate the legendary 1972 Summit Series between Canada and the USSR. Guests included Ron Ellis, who played for Team Canada in 1972, Laurie Boschman, who played in the NHL for 14 years and Darcy Lynch, host of Life After the Game on TSN Radio. “It went really well,” said the museum’s Rob Barker. “It was pretty inspirational to hear how things were back then and understand how important the Russia games were.” Jim Miller, executive director of the museum, was impressed with the speeches as well. “Ron Ellis gave a blow-by-blow beautiful description and some real insight as to how they became a team,” said Miller. Dinner was provided by the Rocky Mountain House and guests were welcomed by Renfrew Mayor Don Eady and Reeve Peter Emon. The museum thanks the public who attended, the sponsors and the Town of Renfrew for collaborating on the event.

CYBULSKI, DARYL

(COCA-COLA ACCOUNT MANAGER) With great sadness we announce that Daryl passed away suddenly but very peacefully at home on Thursday morning, September 14th, 2017. He was 55. Dear son of Lyllis McNab (John). Predeceased by his father, Ken. Adored husband and best friend of Joanne (nee Armsden). Proud and devoted Dad of Adam (Amanda) and Josh. Treasured and doting “Grampa” of Addi. Loved brother of Mark Cybulski (Susan), Paul Cybulski (Madonna) and Jodi Popplewell (Terry). Special son-inlaw of Gert Armsden (late Bruce). Daryl was like a brother to Brian and Julie Armsden. He was a very special “Uncle Daryl” to Rett, Sadie and Ella. He will also be fondly remembered by nieces and nephew: Sara, Julia, Justin and Erin. Daryl loved life. He was well known for his passion for hockey, snowmobiling, boating and most all outdoor activities. His love and devotion to his family and close friends made him the special man that he was. A bright candle extinguished far too soon. Daryl’s family invited friends to join them during visitation at the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior on Sunday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. and again on Monday from 9:30 until 10:45 a.m. A Tribute to Daryl took place in the Pilon Family Chapel on Monday morning at 11 o’clock.

Shirley Macdonald December 4, 1967 - September 22, 2012 Just when your life was brightest, Just when your years were best, You were called from this world, to a home of eternal rest. Her loving face we hope to see again, Though the days have passed away; Sleep on dear Shirley, and take your rest, We miss you most who loved you best. Sad are the hearts of many, Yet brave as she’d want us to be, Consoled by the thought of meeting, on the shore of eternity. The depths of sorrow we cannot tell, Of the loss of one we loved so well, And while she sleeps a peaceful sleep Her memory we shall always keep. Five years have passed since that sad day, The one we loved was called away, God took her home, it was His will, But in our hearts she liveth still.

With registration night come and gone, the yearly panic begins for those that missed it. No worries, as you can still register online or give the club a call. The sooner you do so the more likely that you will get into the leagues you want and the schedule will be delivered on time. Nothing leaves a blacker mark with your ever patient draw masters than having to redo a schedule for a third or fourth time. Maybe they should just put all the latecomers on one team. At least then only one team will be starting late all draw long. New and returning curlers are always welcome and are encouraged to look into the learn to curl program offered by the club.

BILL RAINBOTH

General Manager Dragonfly Golf Links

Wow, what a perfect stretch of weather. September is the best time of year to play Dragonfly, because the course is in spectacular condition and we “sweetened the pot” by offering fantastic fall rates. This past week began with our last set of men’s leagues. On Monday, the Bunker Busters blew up the competition, separating themselves from the field by a whopping four shots. Closest to the pin winners were Richard Afelskie on No. 13 and Cody Lafont on No. 18. On Tuesday, the team from Renfrew Victoria Hospital had the lowest gross score of the night to take A flight, while the Yolkowski Hackers chopped off the Dragonslayers by one stroke to take B flight. Closest to the pin were Billy Patterson on No. 13 and Steve Williams on No. 18. On Wednesday, the Abandoned Cubs pawed their way to victory in A flight, while Mackenzie Motors raced to a B flight win. Closest to the pin winners were Cal Smith on No. 13 and Rob Perry on No. 18. Sadly, there are no more men’s leagues this year. It has been a great season here at Dragonfly. I would like to thank all of the 192 league players. Special thanks to each of the 32 team captains that have been instrumental to our success. Thursday Ladies League still has a few more weeks to go before their closing dinner

Submitted

The Champions from the Dragonfly Golf Links Men’s League closing tournament were from Renfrew Pizzaria. Congrats to (from left to right) Jamie Cloutier, Captain Joey Dufour, Jason English, Kyle Williams, Tyson Utronki, and Cody Lafont. on Sept. 30. This past Thursday was so nice, it should have been criminal. Taking full advantage were the Birdie Bandits, who won A flight. There was a tie for first in B flight, with the Partee Girls getting the edge over the Tee Time Girls. Closest to Pinned were even closer to victory, winning C flight.

Closest to the pin winners were Kathy Hamilton on No. 5, Linda Kidd on No. 7, Bounsavanh Phanthathirath on No. 13 and Val Beimers on No. 18. The third annual Glow Ball Golf Tournament was on Friday, Sept. 15. Thanks to Katrina Crozier for organizing 60 adventurous golfers for this unique and wonderful evening. Not only was this a fun night out, but it was also a fundraiser for the Sunshine Coach of Renfrew. Men’s Closing golf tournament followed on Saturday. It would be hard to top last year, but with 36 more golfers in the league this year, the cards were in our favour. Competition was fierce in this 18-hole scramble (best ball) tournament. Two teams finished the day with matching (and amazing) scores of 55. A putt-off was required to break the tie between the team from Layton Knight Locke Contracting and Renfrew Pizzaria. Jason English showed off his putting skills to secure victory for the latter. If this sounds familiar, it is because Renfrew Pizzaria has been victorious for each of my three years here at Dragonfly. This team, however, had entirely new personnel this year than it did in 2016. The team Scapa Tape had an excellent round of their own, winning the net championship. Congrats to all for a great season.

Jim Senack shoots his age at RGC KEVIN SEBULSKI General manager, Renfrew Golf Club

Congratulations to Renfrew’s 82 year-old Polish Prince Jim Senack who shot an 81 last Wednesday here at Renfrew Golf Club (RGC). Not a lot of golfers can say they have shot their age for 18 holes but Jim now joins this group. Jim’s round was witnessed by Bill Butson, who shot 82 that day. If you see Jim this week, congratulate him on this fantastic accomplishment. Both Ladies and Men’s Rec Leagues are in the middle of their two-week games so we’ll have results next week. A reminder our Rec League closing tournament days are Saturday, Sept. 30 for the men and Sunday, Sept. 24 for the ladies. Details can be found on our website, under leagues. In Tuesday Ladies Day play, it was once again the Faith and Bev Mau show in C Flight with Faith once again in first place (and she had the week’s high score with 39.5 points) and Bev sec-

ond. In B Flight, Marion Graham’s 38.5 points were good for a two-point win over Vi Rossy. And in A Flight, Lisa Smith scored a one point victory over Anne Windle. Longest putt winner was Faith Mau who drained a 30-footer on hole 2. Thursday Men’s Day winners were Bill James with 21 points to take A Flight by a point over Steve Mulvihill with Larry Vice third. In B Flight, Rick Desilets’ 22 points were enough to win the flight by 2.5 points over Tim Lemoyre and Fergus Wrinn. In C Flight, Elio Domenicucci edged Henry Egan and Eric Smith by two points and Super Senior’s was a tie between Brian Francis and Bob Gould with John David third. RGC would like to welcome new members Andrew McKay, Al MacDonald, Brendan Rousselle and Natalie Walters to our golf club. And we would also like to welcome back to RGC Jeff Russell and Steve Eckford as members once again. Thank you for reading!

HOME, GARDEN & RENOVATIONS Several local homes on the annual Ontario Natural Homes Tour ONTARIO NATURAL BUILDING COALITION

On Sunday, Sept. 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., dozens of unique Ontario natural homes and buildings of all types will be opening their doors, offering opportunities for the general public to step inside and see how they really look, feel and work, and to get feedback from the homeowners. Locally in Renfrew County, in the KillaloeWilno-Barry’s Bay area, there are two off-grid passive solar homes that are opening their doors to the public. These unique local homes also incorporate other innovative technologies as well including; radiant floor heating, solar and wood fired domestic hot water systems, solar electricity, unique water catchment and waste-treatment systems. This tour is the perfect opportunity to step right inside some natural buildings, see what they are like, and get honest feedback from the owners about all aspects of their homes. This self-guided annual tour, which helps

spread the word about the environmental importance of choosing natural building materials and renewable technologies, will take place across various regions of Ontario. Natural building may be the housing equivalent to the increasingly popular 100 mile diet – living in energy efficient homes and additions that are crafted from minimally processed, renewable and local materials. People choose natural homes for many reasons ranging from energy efficiency, to the healthiness of the materials, to a desire for architecturally interesting and unique homes and additions. There is an appeal for every interest and the demand continues to grow. For the location of the buildings on this selfguided tour, see the map on the Ontario Natural Building Coalition website: www.naturalbuildingcoalition.ca (or call 613-633-3557, prior to Sept 24.) Fee for the tour is $10, (payable on line at www.naturalbuildingcoalition.ca) or by dona- There are two off-grid passive solar homes in the Killaloe-Wilno-Barry’s Bay area that are opening their doors to the public on Sunday, Sept. 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. tion.

From left, Johanna Mathieu, Jean McCarron and Pat Bambrick of the disbanded Valley Singles Club recently presented almost $500 to Renfrew County Child Poverty Action Network co-ordinator Lynn Smith.

Valley Singles Club donates to child poverty group The now-disbanded Valley Singles Club has a parting gift for the Renfrew County Child Poverty Action Network (CPAN). “Due to changing times and poor attendance, the Valley Singles Club has disbanded,” says a press release. “The group had $493.95 in the ‘kitty’ and the executive decision was made to donate the money to the children of the Renfrew County CPAN.” The group has had an eventful history. “The club was a great meeting place for over 25 years.

Singles came from Cobden, Deep River, Ottawa, Eganville, Quebec, Carleton Place, Almonte, Renfrew and Arnprior and points in between. Their main activity was a lunch meeting once a month and a Christmas party,” says the release. “The luncheon was enjoyed in many restaurants in the whole area, including Fort Coulonge on the Quebec side.

Big fish coming to the 154th Carp Fair JAKE DAVIES jake.davies@metroland.com

The Carp Agricultural Society offices are a buzz with activity as last minute tasks are scheduled and the final t’s are crossed and I’s dotted. The best little fair in Canada kicks off next week as the gate opens Thursday, Sept. 21 for four days of music, midway, agriculture and fun. It will be the first fair for Stephanie Verk as the Carp Fair’s general manager following the retirement of long-time general manager Joyce Trafford. Verk will be taking over for interim general manager Lynn Hudson who has filled in on an emergency basis when Verk had to take a leave of absence. Both Verk and Hudson sat down with the West Carleton Review on Monday, Sept. 11 to talk about the new positions, highlights of this, the 154th edition of the Carp Fair and what makes the event a highlight for locals and visitors alike. “I enjoy the camaraderie,” said Hudson, who is also well known around the West Carleton area for her family’s sweet corn. “It’s like coming home. You see everybody. I love to see everyone’s faces, you can see the excitement on them.” And there is lots of excitement to be had this year. “We have a big focus on Canada

150 this year,” Verk said. “Our theme is Canada Proud: Tell Your Story.” Twoonie Thursday kicks off the fair on Sept. 21 starting at 6 p.m.. It’s $2 to get in and $2 for any ride on the midway. Musically speaking, fan favourite Gail Gavan performs along with the Ryans. Gates open Friday at 9 a.m. for a full day of fun. There is a pay one price midway bracelet for $30. The Eastern Regional Clydesdale Association Show takes place and it is also the day for the fair’s School Fair – Agriculture Awareness School Program. “We have about 400 students coming from 10 different Ottawa-area schools. “They stay the whole day and learn about beef, dairy, pigs, honey and horticulture,” Hudson said. “We really stay true to our agricultural roots.” Friday is also 4-H Achievement Day. Live music kicks off at 3 p.m. with Lucky Ron and Steve Stacey. The horse pull is scheduled for 7 p.m. and Little Bones and Silver Creek hit the stage at 8 p.m. Saturday is another full day starting at 9 a.m. Highlights of the day include the 154th Carp Fair Ceremonial Parade, a host of horse and beef shows, a strongman competition and the antique auction. Live music starts at 1 p.m. with Delaney Grant, Kelli Trottier and George Fox. Saturday night features Canadian Country Music Award 2017

Male Artist of the Year Brett Kissel with Rainwater Whiskey opening. Sunday is another 9 a.m. start and full day for the fair’s finale. Horses, sheep and more cows are the day’s highlights with an afternoon music line-up including Wade Foster and Doubleback, Robin Averill and Joe Turner, and Leahy The Next Generation. Ask Verk what she is looking most forward to and… “Can I say the food?” she answers, only partially joking. “You work all year long putting it together. You see the midway going up and people trickling in and you just get so excited it’s here.” Verk will officially replace Hudson shortly after the fair. Hudson is a long-time board member filling in while Verk was on leave and Trafford retired. Verk has been with the fair since 2013 where she worked on media and advertising. “Joyce kind of took me under her wing and showed me the ropes,” she said. “Seeing such a great organization work together, all the amazing volunteers – we really are a family.” And that family is looking forward to entertaining you at the 154th edition of the Carp Fair. Advance tickets to the fair and the Saturday night music show are available until Thursday, Sept. 21 at 4 p.m. For the complete Carp Fair schedule, visit carpfaironline.ca.

Lip sync challenge to benefit Robbie Dean centre It’s an epic battle for fame, fortune and bragging rights. Well, perhaps not fame but competitors are battling it out for cash prizes. Battle the Night Lip Sync Challenge hits the stage at Festival Hall on Friday Sept. 22 to raise money for local mental health initiatives. In support of the Robbie Dean Family Counselling Centre, competitors from up and down the Valley will impersonate their favourite music stars and lip sync their way into infamy. “We have performances from artists varying from Journey to Bjork and everything in between.” That’s from host Chris Kyte who’s been working on this event for over a year and a half. “I’ve always wanted to roll up my sleeves and organize my own event. I just needed to find the right cause. And I found it with Robbie Dean. “Kyte says the centre is so vital to mental health of our community and without funding, they need all the support they can get. The myFM personality, who has emceed and covered hundreds of events throughout the county, wanted to host some-

thing unique and unusual to the area. “A lip sync challenged just seemed the right fit. It’s fun, high energy and we get to be rock stars for an evening.” Kyte has been working tireless for the past ten months holding smaller events to raise money to cover the event’s costs. “Our local businesses are approached daily by fundraisers looking for sponsorships and prizes. And though I’ve secured some amazing sponsors, I wanted to make sure that every dollar from every ticket and silent auction item

went to the centre. I didn’t mind doing the legwork if it meant I could raise more money for Robbie Dean.” And she was successful, between sponsorships and donations from her events; she’s raised enough money to cover all of her expenses. “I just wanted an evening out for adults.” This is an age of majority event; “there’ll be a silent auction and some other amazing prizes, including a beautiful guitar donated by Mill Music in Renfrew.” In addition to fundraising for Robbie Dean, Kyte will have a

donation jar for Tom Sidney and his wife Shelly. Sidney is the clinic supervisor for Robbie Dean and he suffered spinal damage following a fall earlier this month. “His road to recovery will be long and he’s been so dedicated to the centre, I thought it would be a good idea to help them through this difficult time.” “I’m truly grateful for the support I’ve received so far and I really hope the community will come out, have some fun and help me support the Robbie Dean Family Counselling Centre.” The doors open at 6:30 p.m. with a cocktail hour, featuring a cash bar and appetizers. The lip sync battle begins at 7:30 p.m. Cost is $15 and tickets are available online at robbiedeancentre.com or you can get them from Kerry’s Place, downtown Pembroke and Forest Lea Promotional Productions on Pembroke Street West. You can also get tickets at Pick It Fence and The Flower Factory in downtown Renfrew. They’ll also be available at the door. The Robbie Dean Family Counselling Centre has satellite clinics in Renfrew and Arnprior.

100 years of Games, Toys, and Sports open now at Arnprior museum The Arnprior and District Museum will be hosting an exciting travelling exhibit from the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM), from Sept. 12 — Nov. 9. Canada at Play: 100 Years of Games, Toys, and Sports is a bilingual exhibit that takes a look at our favourite games and toys over the past 130 years. The new exhibit is made possible by a grant from the Government of Canada’s Museums Assistance Program. This exhibit is tailored to visitors of all ages and truly is a multi-generation event. Children’s program co-ordinator/facilitator, Becky Ranger, hopes to see families coming in together; “Kids, parents, grandparents, and greatgrandparents will enjoy the displays and activities available. We are also hoping the

Felix Ranger, 3, checks out the new exhibit at the Arnprior museum. exhibit will attract interest from local and area schools, as we will have educational programs offered both in the museum and as a travelling program.” The exhibit is divided into four sections, covering: Winter Sports; At Home; Hand-

Made and Factory-Made Toys; and Educational Toys. Artifacts from the museums own collection will accompany those provided by the ROM. The exhibition demonstrates that despite the advances in technology and manufacturing of toys, many things remain constant — board games, dolls, playsets are all still staples in children’s play rooms and schools. Skating, tobogganing and hockey are still integral parts of our Canadian winters. The exhibit is open Tuesday-Sunday 11 a.m.-4 p.m., until Nov. 9. For more information or to book a class visit, please contact Becky Ranger at 613623-4902 or branger@arnprior.ca. Follow the Arnprior & District Museum on Facebook, for updates.

Audrey’s essay leaves Mary feeling grateful You didn’t have to guess what grade Miss Crosby was talking to in our one-room schoolhouse. She had only to look down from her desk and cast her eyes on those she wished to speak to, and the rest of us were expected to keep ourselves busy. That day she told the Senior Fourths, my sister and brothers’ grade, that she had a special lesson for them. They were to write an essay on all the things that made them happy and grateful. It was their homework, and Miss Crosby gave them a week to do it in. As often happened when my sister Audrey was doing her homework at the kitchen table at night, she would take a piece of paper and hand me a pencil, and she would print simple words, and I would have to copy them to improve on my printing. I had yet to learn to write. She would do the same with simple arithmetic sums, and I

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

was never sure if what Audrey did was because she was anxious that I keep up with those in my grade at school, or if she was practicing to be a teacher, which was what she dreamed of being when she was finished at the Northcote School. And so when she was working at the table that night on her essay, she seemed very deep in thought. She kept looking my way, and once she even patted my hand and smiled. I thought this all very odd, but then, it was pretty hard for me, so much younger than Audrey, to second guess what was on her mind. It was getting close to bed-

time, and I asked Audrey if she would read to me what she had written. She said she had a lot more to write, and besides, she didn’t think Miss Crosby would want anyone else to read it before she handed it in. I certainly wasn’t going to question my sister, but I would sure have loved to hear what made her happy and grateful. And I wondered if she dared to write that when Mother bought her her very first bra at Walker’s Store, she said she was never as happy in her whole life! Gone were the strips of flour bagging that she tied around her chest! Could that be what she was writing about? No, because it wasn’t unusual for Miss

Crosby to read what a pupil had written if she thought it deserved it. And that would mortify my shy sister Audrey! Well, every night Audrey got out her scribbler and wrote, erased, wrote and erased some more. My brothers had finished long ago, and had already handed in their essays to Miss Crosby. And then just the day it was due, Audrey gave it one final read, and put it on the corner of the teacher’s desk. I thought I would never know what had taken Audrey so long to write. And then the day came when Miss Crosby had read all the essays, and handed them back. I saw that my sister had three gold stars on the top sheet. One star was a real honour ... but three stars were right up there with getting top honours in the spelling bee! Audrey quickly tucked the sheets into her book bag. It was many weeks later when my best friend Velma was over

to play that I found Audrey’s essay in the back of her washstand drawer, and I asked Velma if she would read it to me. Velma was in one grade higher than I was, smart as a whip, and had long since learned to write instead of print, and could also read. Well! What a revelation! Audrey had written what made her happiest was when she read to me at night before we went to bed. She said just watching me, her little sister, smile, and sometimes laugh, or stay perfectly still as the story unfolded, brought her the utmost happiness, and then she finished her essay by saying she was grateful she had a little sister like Mary! I didn’t let on to Audrey that I knew what her essay was about, but I knew I too had something to be both happy and grateful for, for a very long time to come.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, when an opportunity comes your way, resist the temptation to pass it up thinking something better is on the horizon. There are no guarantees, so make the most of this chance. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Many things around the home need your attention, Taurus. But you may be having trouble finding the motivation to tackle them right now. Get a partner to lend a helping hand.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, make a concerted and sincere effort to focus on family for the next few days. It’s time to reconnect with everyone in the house, and you will enjoy the time at home. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, slow down a little because moving faster will not get the job done right. It may only lead to sloppy mistakes that will take even more time to handle.

CLUES ACROSS

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 It can be challenging to find initial support for your ideas, Leo. However, once you explain all of the specifics, there’s a good chance others will climb on board.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, focus on something new for a while rather than a problem that has been bouncing around in your brain. Frustration will get you nowhere, so let it go for now.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Risk can sometimes have a large payoff, Virgo. Just make sure you time your jump right or you could miss an opportunity to really shine.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, even if you take some time off from work, things will go on as planned. Although you are a key member of the team, others can temporarily fill your shoes.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, if you push yourself a little harder this week, you will be happy with the results. Even though it may be an uphill battle, the summit will look pretty nice. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, just when you think you can lie low and escape the week without any excitement, something pops up that requires all of your attention. Hunker down for now.
