Burgess promises a strong and informed voice for Horton steve.newman@metroland.com

News – Angela Burgess isn’t suited to being a backbencher. As the third candidate to enter Horton Township’s mayoral race, the 61-year-old says she would act for council just as she has advised her six children for years. In other words, don’t do something because

it’s always been done that way, and speak up. “I really think municipalities have to learn to stand up and represent themselves,� says Burgess, who lost the 2007 mayoral race to Bob Johnston. “They need to have a strong voice. “All members of councils in the Valley, in particular, should be painfully aware of the gradual decline of livable

conditions in a rural setting.� Burgess says many municipalities claim they don’t have a voice. She argues they do, but that their voice must be heard. “I don’t know if it’s a good time to talk negatively about my opponents,� she says, “but I don’t think either one of the (other) candidates running for mayor has a strong enough voice, a strong enough pres-

Retired RCMP officer looks to get more involved in community Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News – Ralph Miller knows what it’s like being in the community trenches professionally and as a volunteer. And now is his chance to extend that experience, by becoming a Horton councillor. In 2004, Miller, 65, moved back to the township where he and wife Gladys grew up. They live in her Nesbitt family homestead in the Thomson Hill area of Horton. Retired since 2001, he spent 31 years working for the RCMP in Toronto, Hamilton, Niagara Falls and Ottawa. In those places he established community roots, but Horton was where the heart was. “The lure of the Valley brought us back. We wanted it quieter in our lives,� says Miller, who left the area in 1969 to further his career.

ence, to be heard. I’m not one of those people who can easily be shoved into the back of the room.� If elected, she says she’ll research issues just as she has done as a volunteer lobbyist on issues related to hydro billing and the clean water act. She says she’ll also bring to council a strong business background and volunteer experience. In her former home of Russell, Ont., she volunteered with the fire department and parent-teacher association and she owned a school bus line. She has owned KOA Kampground in Horton since 1999. Every summer, at KOA, thousands of campers from around the world share a common message about government waste. “Politicians don’t listen, politicians spend too much money,� said Burgess, noting Horton’s no exception. “We’re not unique, but maybe I can change that a little bit.� Meanwhile, she says Horton council should continue support for Hwy. 417 expansion and infrastructure improvements, and engage more with the public.

councillor. ENCOURAGED BY NORM EADY

Encouraged by the late veteran volunteer Norm Eady to serve as a volunteer, Miller has chaired the bar for the Horton recreation committee for 10 years. He also sat on the beach sub-committee that recently recommended developing the former Timbertown property. But he stresses he did not support that recommendation, and agrees with council’s subsequent decision to sell the property at a highmarket value. Miller says there are other more important recreation priorities, such as paying off debt incurred by community hall expansion and the roof rink project. Miller says it’s only natural for him to be involved with the community. He was a Big Brother in Hamilton, is a lifetime member after joining the

Royal Canadian Legion in Niagara Falls 42 years ago, and has maintained his long membership with the Masonic Lodge. For a decade, work in the RCMP’s drug section required extensive community interaction, while later in his career he oversaw a million-dollar inventory, “so I know what financial responsibility is.� “I’d like to broaden my horizons,� said Miller. “I have a lot of time on my hands, and I feel I’ve got my feet wet with events that take place in the township.� He also says predicted rising OPP costs will be the

Brown hopes to move up from the middle of the pack Steve Newman Steve.newman@metroland.com

News – In Horton’s 2010 municipal election, David Brown was in the middle of the pack, placing sixth of 11 councillor candidates. Buoyed by that showing, he’s looking to be fourth or better this time. His age, 77, isn’t remotely an obstacle to serving the next

four years, says Brown. “The mayor of Mississauga (Hazel McCallion) is 90something, and I’m still physically and mentally capable,” says Brown, who continues to serve as a local volunteer. “A lot of people came up to me and asked me to run, so I’ve put my name in. “I’m a good listener,” he adds. “And I care about people. They come up to me and

tell me their problems.” Married 54 years, the Winnipeg-born Brown and Ann, who was a nurse, have four children and have lived in the Arctic as well as Manitoba, Quebec and Ontario. Brown worked as a technician for the Canadian Air Force, the U.S. government, General Electric Medical and the Ottawa Civic Hospital. Retired in 1995, several

McDonald seeking rookie berth on Horton council Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News – “I just figured it’s better to do something than sit by and complain.” So says Tim McDonald, citing that reason and the original scarcity of nominated candidates as his main reasons for pursuing a berth on Horton council. “Basically (it’s the) the same reason I joined the entertainment committee,” said McDonald, who volunteered with the recreation committee from 2006 to 2013, when he helped organize youth floor hockey, volleyball and basketball at the community centre. “I had two teenagers at the time, and we wanted things for them to do at the community centre.. It was easier to start events, and I did that.” Married to Alyson ‘Sam’ Doherty, they now have two adult-age children, youngsters ages one and three, and three grandchildren. As a recreation committee member, McDonald helped introduce Spring Fling and the regular country dances, and helped out with the Horton Winter Carnival that has continued since its resurrection in 2007. The dances, he says, helped improve the profile of the now-expanded community centre and brought needed income to the recreation committee. McDonald, 46, says there’s still room for growth in recreation. Longtime volunteers are a mainstay in Horton, but he insists new volunteers are always needed, to share the workload and minimize burnout. Also, the software developer says he’d like to share his informationtechnology skills to facilitate Horton’s place in the digital world. “There’s room for more public accessibility,” says McDonald, who has a bachelor’s degree in computing and

years later he was living near Fitzroy Harbour making maple syrup when a bylaw enforcement office slapped him with a $300 ticket for starting a fire without a permit. Brown beat the charge, but that was the last straw. He told Ann it was time to find a better rural existence. They bought the house in 2005 on Castleford Road, where they look after a few chickens, grow garlic and enjoy telescopic views of the galaxy. Both have their volunteer interests, which includes his positions on Horton council’s planning committee and the Bonnechere River Watershed Project. Fascinated with cemeteries, he also leads the restoration committee for Horton’s Martin Cemetery, believed to be the oldest in Renfrew County. Brown is also a former trustee with the Ottawa-Carleton School Board who says Horton still needs to spend less and be more transparent. He’s pleased the township is chipping away at its debt. But he says Horton needs to do more road and culvert work, and successfully oppose predicted large hikes in OPP bills for rural municipalities. That opposition, he suggests, will likely involve several STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND rural municipalities speaking out and David Brown is campaigning again for a Horton negotiating as one larger voice. council berth

Tim McDonald was one of several candidates to enter the Horton municipal election the last week. information from Queen’s University. He says council must continue to look for ways to improve its roads and avoid the predicted skyrocketing rise in OPP costs. At the same time, he generally commends the performance of Horton council over the past four years. Late in the municipal election campaign, there were only four candidates

pursuing four positions as councillor. This, he says, helped motivate him to run, along with the motivation to be a community contributor. In his spare time, McDonald says he enjoys recreational hockey, and reading IT publications, biographies and fiction. His favourite books include the Douglas Adams comedy science-fiction series, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

Morrison looks to bring youth, energy and volunteer connection to council Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News – At nearly 6-foot-6 and age 30, Kirby Morrison is the tallest and second youngest candidate for Horton council. He has also been a member of Horton’s volunteer ďŹ re department for more than four years, and takes pride in that role. “Like a lot of guys, it’s just that love for helping people,â€? says Morrison. “People are going through a bad time in their life, and they need somebody to be there for them, in whatever measure that happens to be.â€? As the last of 10 councillor candidates to ďŹ le his nomination papers, he consulted with

municipal staff to ensure being a councillor wouldn’t interfere with his roles as a ďŹ reďŹ ghter and a full-time customer representative for W.O. Stinson & Son Ltd., a Pembroke-based fuel supplier. Big reasons for entering the municipal race are his demographic and the chance to contribute to a township that he says already has a strong sense of community. “Horton has a huge population of young families,â€? says Morrison, father of sons Mater, 3, and Marshall, eight months. His wife is Melissa, a ďŹ re-andambulance dispatcher. “Young families in Horton really need representation, in

that we need to get people of my age group a little more involved with the recreation committee and other things that are going on at the community centre,â€? he says. Current council has done a good job paying down township debt and managing ďŹ nances the last four years, adds Morrison. He notes it’s now council’s turn to ďŹ ne-tune spending by looking for savings here and there. ‘NOT-SPENDING SIDE’

“If I’m in there (as a councillor), I’ll be on the not-spending side. I know some people are concerned with the roads. I want to make sure roads are

safe, but roads cost a considerable amount to repair.â€? If road-improvement grants aren’t forthcoming, these projects shouldn’t be immediate priorities, says Morrison. With his remaining spare time, Morrison likes to ďŹ sh and camp. He’s also automotive enthusiast who enjoys cruise nights, working on his 1998 TransAm, and attending car shows with Mater, who’s named after the tow-truck character in the movie Cars.

Hunt seeks re-election in Greater Madawaska Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

News - Looking at the challenges that face Greater Madawaska Township, Brian Hunt has ďŹ led for his second term as councillor in Ward 1. “We are fortunate to live in such a beautiful area with so much potential,â€? Hunt said. “We must continue to promote economic development in order to expand our tax base while always being mindful of what makes our area a special place to live, visit and play,â€?

Hunt said. The township faces a tough ďŹ nancial period because of provincial downloading, redistribution of policing costs, cutbacks in Ontario Hydro power dam payments and the clawback of Ontario Municipal Partnership Funding payments, he adds. “These changes will result in tax increases in all rural municipalities and it is important to have the right people on council to tackle the challenges and control the costs.â€?

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.

Under the provincial legislation, the municipality must test the drinking water for lead at 40 private residences, 4 non-private residences, between September 15, 2014 and October 15, 2014. • 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. 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. 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 of Renfrew wishes to advise residential, commercial and institutional users that hydrant flow testing is being performed on the Renfrew Water Distribution System and will continue to take place during the month of September, weather depending. This testing is essential to confirm how much fire flow is available from each municipal hydrant in the distribution system. During this time the water distribution system will experience disturbance of sediment that will cause red water in some areas. If red water is observed residents should run the cold water to drain until the water returns to a clear condition. Water system pressures will also be affected for short periods of time over the three week period which may cause temporary disruptions to residential, commercial and institutional fixtures. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the Department of Development and Works at (613) 432-8166.

Barnamova’s back for second crack at Renfrew council Steve Newman

steve.newman@metroland.com

News – After 23 years in Canada, Mila Barnamova stays in touch with friends in Crimea, a region of the former Soviet Union where she was born. She’s concerned about what’s unfolding in the troubled zone, but she says she also cares about what happens in Renfrew, where she has lived since 2002. The retired 65-year-old says life hasn’t been all positive. Her husband took his life as the Soviet Union was collapsing in the early 1990s, and she came to Canada where she remarried, only for her second husband to die of a heart attack. Barnamova, a former apartment building superintendent in Ottawa, came to Renfrew when she retired 12 years ago.

“This will guarantee that the township has the information

She says she likes everything about Renfrew in general, but she’s not pleased with town council’s performance and the lack of road improvements and the lack of a welcoming business attitude. That attitude was obvious when George Jackson Toyota left town before the last election, and it still exists, she says. “I didn’t plan to run again,” said Barnamova, who received 494 votes, the least among eight councillor candidates in 2010. There are 14 candidates this time. But that doesn’t matter, says Barnamova, who believes she can contribute to council. First, she says she has a master’s degree in civil engineering. Second, she says there’s room for community improvements. Third, she says her English is much improved, to the point that she can now

needed to make informed decisions.” “I feel very good about the accomplishments achieved by the current council during the last four years and

articulate her sentiments. “The taxpayer is not looked after very well,” she says, wondering why Burnstown has a beach and Renfrew doesn’t, why water rates are so high, and why council got rid of downtown parking meters, but pays too much to contract out bylaw enforcement. And she doesn’t mind saying council hasn’t done its job. If that’s the case, she asks why some councillors want to be mayor. A more effective council, she says, will listen to the public more, by receiving feedback at periodic open houses. She also contends council can save money by reducing the number of council members from seven to five. Knowing a few local firefighters’ salaries were over $100,000 last year, she also says salaries for the full-time firefighters should be reduced.

with the voters’ support, I will continue to bring knowledge of the issues and common sense to the council table. “In my decision-

making I will respect the fact that many of our ratepayers are on fixed incomes and sometimes struggle to meet today’s financial challenges.”

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, September 25, 2014 5

After lengthy wait, Rook in race All-candidates forum Sept. 29 in for Admaston-Bromley councillor Arnprior, Oct. 6 in McNab-Braeside News – It’s the only chance Arnprior voters will have to see how the nine candidates for town councillor positions react under pressure and directly compare their platforms. The public gets a chance to quiz the candidates Monday, Sept. 29 at Arnprior District High School. The Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce is hosting the pre-election debate at 7 p.m. Valley Heritage Radio station manager Jason Marshall will relate written questions from the audience to the candidates after they have given two-minute opening statements.

News - Dirk Rook has been involved in municipal politics covering 23 years, and his name can be found on this year’s ballot once again for a councillor position in Admaston-Bromley. Rook is in good health, and he still enjoys municipal politics, prompting the 80-year-old to say, “Why not? “The big issue for this year (2015) is the budget,” Rook said. “When I see what’s coming up, the increase in police services, and the decrease in the OMPF (Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund) funding, we could well be looking at another $100,000 increase in our budget. That, for a small municipality, is a big increase. “Where do you find the cuts? With a new group around the table, there might be new ideas. But that’s going to be the big issue.” Admaston-Bromley got funding this year for Opeongo Road. “But there’s always roads that need work. There’s only so many dollars.” Rook has worked, and continues to work, with a number of committees. “I have served in the past with recreation in Douglas, and for the last 10 years, have been on the library board in Douglas,” he said. Rook and wife Gertie, now married 60 years, came to Canada in 1953. They landed in Halifax on Jan. 25, 1953, and two days later, they were at the train station in Renfrew. In 1984, he mentioned to Clarence McBride that he’d like to get into municipal politics. McBride held him to it, and for the next nine years (three terms), Rook was acclaimed three times in Bromley Township. He lost a close race in 1994. Rook sat out of municipal politics in 1997, but returned in the amalgamation year of 2000. He outlasted two challengers in Ward 1, and has been acclaimed ever since.

Invited to the forum are councillor candidates Ted Strike, Doug Smith, Art Smith, Daniel Martin, Dan Lynch, Lynn Grinstead, Frank Dugal, Tom Burnette and Lyle Anderson. Mayor David Reid and Reeve Walter Stack, both acclaimed to office, are also expected to be on hand. The nine councillor candidates will be given the opportunity to close out the forum with two-minute final statements. The chamber is also hosting a McNab-Braeside all-candidates meeting Oct. 6. The event starts at 7 p.m. in McNab Public School.

Horton hopeful about grant applications Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

PETER CLARK/METROLAND

Veteran councillor Dirk Rook filed on final day possible in Admaston-Bromley. This year Rook is in a pool of five candidates for four councillor spots on council, which will run without a ward system for the first time. “A lot of people spoke to me wanting to keep the ward system,” Rook said. “But, I lost on the vote, so you live with it. “It’s a big area to cover now,” he adds, but a challenge he says he is ready to meet.

News – In declaring Thomson Road reconstruction its No. 1 road priority, Horton Township is seeking two government grants for the project. Both grant applications required submission by Sept. 19, 2014. Therefore, at the Sept. 2 council meeting, Horton council supported an expression of interest under the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund to pulverize the asphalt, repair or replace shallow-depth culverts, add granular material to build up and widen the roadway, and

repave Thomson Road. The request was also made for two sections on Thomson Road, one between Lochwinnoch Road and Keith Road, and the other between Early Road and River Road. The respective distances are 1.43 and 1.57 kilometres. Thomson Road reconstruction was flagged as the township’s road priority in its asset management plan that was completed in the autumn of 2013. In the Sept. 2 motion, council also support the submission of an expression of interest for a grant under the federalprovincial Small Communities Fund, to do the same road work on Thomson Road, be-

tween Keith and Early roads. That distance is 2.9 km. The main difference is that the second application is for repair or replacement of both large deep or shallow culverts. The public works department will determine the total dollar value for the two projects. That amount is expected to be close to $2 million. “Thomson Road is our No. 1 priority and we do not have sufficient funds to reconstruct the road on our own,” said Horton CAO Mackie McLaren. If the grants are forthcoming, one or both projects would require completion by Dec. 31, 2016.

Chinese get closer look at Dobson’s Grass-fed Beef Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Lifestyle – It used to be his great-greatgrandfather William’s farm in the 1850s. But the farm looks a lot different now. Once the home to lots of chickens, pigs, cows and some cash crops, the focus for the past 30 years has been on livestock production, hence the name Dobson’s Grass-fed Beef. Sept. 11, Dobson hosted a tractor-pulled, wagon-ride tour for 19 Chinese visitors. “What I hope is that they learn something they didn’t know before they came, about certain agricultural and water-management practices,â€? said Dobson. The delegation’s interpreter, Joseph Liu of Ottawa, accompanied them on the two-and-a half-hour tour, whose ďŹ rst stop was a shelter belt of trees. Shelter belts, two to 12 metres in width, are intended to protect both the pastures and cattle from strong winds, thus contributing to healthi-

er growth of both vegetation and livestock. The foliage also provides a home for wildlife, which in turn helps with insect control. Dobson’s farm – located on Snake River Line just west of Cobden – features three kilometres of these condensed belts of trees across prevailing winds. There’s also another three kilometres of buffer zones of tree and bush growth near his creeks that serve as berry-growing and anti-erosion sites. The big focus on Dobson’s 200-acre farm is sustainable agriculture, with 96 per cent of revenue coming from selling the beef products of more than 100 cows each year. The other four per cent comes from the sale of on-site elderberries. Dobson, who estimated that maybe one of his cattle comes down sick every two years, said he doesn’t use antibiotics, pesticides or herbicides, grain or corn supplementation, or growth hormones for his cattle.

A modest investment allowed the installation of this solar-pumping watering system. This creates a healthy component of the farm known as Dobson’s Grass-fed Beef. Cattle are fed water in troughs from a spring-fed pond throughout the year.

Township Council held a meeting earlier this year for developers, contractors and real estate personnel. The question was asked: why is there so little development in McNab Braeside Township? Everyone at the meeting had the same story—extreme difficulty in dealing with the township office and constantly being referred to the County of Renfrew office in Pembroke for their requests. Hiring our own planner to work with these business people, making development easier, is the answer. More development means a wider tax base to help keep taxes down.

EDITORIAL

A rich agricultural heritage

Opinion - Late summer and early autumn is a time of celebration in the farming community. Renfrew and area’s proud agricultural heritage is brought to life at a range of special events from the Renfrew Fair and Renfrew County Plowing Match to last weekend’s Taste of the Valley event at the Renfrew Armouries and the month-long Rural Ramble. These events provide an opportunity for people who are far removed from the rural lifestyles of their ancestors to re-connect with our rich rural heritage. Plowing matches, in particular, show how farming has evolved and demonstrates the great strides made in labour-saving technology. While the traditional walking and horse-drawn classes are still featured, today’s plowing matches also demonstrate just how far agriculture has come through time. Rural tourism events are a great chance for people to gather at harvest time to learn more about the fine art of farming and gain an appreciation of farmers’ respect for the land and the fruits of their labour. Autumn arrived Monday, Sept. 22 at 10:29 p.m. and as days grow shorter and lights flick on earlier, most

often supplemented by the glow of TV screens, it’s easy to imagine the start of some grand hibernation. But not for the farmer. Days on the farm are long. In this United Nations International Year of the Family Farm, we note that far too often society forgets or dismisses the year-round effort that goes into this noble and proud work. As the old slogan says, Farmers Feed Cities. But it’s a two-way street. A federal election is more than a year away but the battle lines are already being drawn and narrowminded partisans are salivating at the very thought of the fight. And the number-one weapon of the mindless political warrior will be wielded – division. Pit old against young. Rich against poor. Man against woman. And, yes, rural against urban. But the wise voter will be acutely aware of and reject this regressive strategy. Agriculture is an important industry and rural communities have a strength to be emulated and respected. But its success is inextricably tied to urban success. When it comes to food security and keeping farms viable, there is no us and them, only we.

LETTER

This election year, a look at why municipal government matters To the editor:

Opinion - Now that the election signs are sprouting on lawns, I think it’s time to talk about the importance of leadership and good governance at the municipal level. The decisions made by Renfrew town council affect us directly and if poor decisions are taken, they have lasting ill effects for the town and its citizens. During the term of the present mayor and council we have seen administrative costs skyrocket with the number of individuals earning more than $100,000 per year increasing from zero in 2010 to seven in 2013. Property taxes in Renfrew are now the highest in Renfrew County and our wa-

ter rates are sky-high, much more than other towns in the area. They wasted much time and thousands of dollars on various plans to build a swimming pool, something we could not afford and an issue that was divisive, pitting one group of town people against another. There are any number of reasons that we need a mayor and council that are fiscally responsible and gifted with some common sense, but let me illustrate a couple. Despite the best efforts of the Renfrew Industrial Commission and other individuals, Renfrew is slowly losing its industrial base. This is very serious as property taxes from

industry are an important part of the tax base and the jobs are key to the town’s prosperity. Unfortunately, this is a North America-wide problem and we in Renfrew cannot hope to compete with the tax breaks and subsidies that are offered by other, richer places to entice manufacturers into locating there. Therefore we should adjust our policies and expenditures to reflect the reality we face today instead of hoping that we might land some big industrial concern tomorrow. If it happens, great, but it’s not likely. Another reason to conduct ourselves in a financially responsible way is that the town of Renfrew is becoming more

and more a retirement community. In 2011 nearly a quarter of the population (24.2%) was 65 or over and another 7.4% was 60-64 years old, which means nearly one third of the population is retirement age or close to it. The median age of the people in Renfrew is 48.7 while the provincial median is 40.4, a substantial difference. With an aging population comes more people on fixed income, with less ability to absorb tax increases and water rate hikes. I worry that when the crunch comes and the town has to raise money to repair our crumbling infrastructure, people will lose their homes

because they can’t afford the high rates the town will have to charge. It boggles my mind that Mayor Ringrose and council have not made a top priority of finding ways to build up our reserves so that we can take on the major rebuilding that will be required. The streets, sidewalks and underground pipes, etc. need millions of dollars worth of work. What did these people whose decisions have important and immediate effects on us do with our money? They bought an $860,000 fire truck, they gave large raises to the top administrative people and have done nothing to control

This is perhaps the most important election in a generation. I don’t feel that we can absorb four more years of fiscal foolishness.

Opinion - I would personally like to thank the Township of Horton for the improvements it carried out at the Millennium Trail where it borders the Town of Renfrew and continues through to Lime Kiln Road. We are very fortunate to have use of a recreational trail within the Town of Renfrew and Township of Horton for walking, jogging and cycling, benefiting all of us from health and fitness enthusiasts to friends and neighbours partaking in an enjoyable activity. The trail is even ideal for sharing with, and exer-

cising, our four-legged companions. I find it most disgusting that some pet owners can be so irresponsible, thoughtless and inconsiderate of the rest of us, using that same trail, by refusing to clean up their dog’s excrement. At least have the decency and foresight to take a bag with you, knowing full well your dog will, in all likelihood, have a bowel movement. P.S. The bag goes home with you, not nonchalantly left on the street or tossed aside!

Grass-fed Beef Continued from page 7

The farm also works with a local abattoir, five kilometres away in Micksburg. Dobson’s Grass-fed Beef, Dobson points out in his own handout, is high in protein, low in fat and requires 30 per cent less cooking time than conventional beef. Dobson also views the farm as an educational home, with two or three agricultural student interns coming each year, from France and other overseas countries. “They learn, and I feel I’m contributing to something that they’re all about – sustainable agriculture,” said Dobson, who has hosted about 50 students from 15 countries in the past decade. This helps maintain an average staff contingent, including Dobson, of 1.5 people per year. Another of the 11 stops on the tour gave Dobson a chance to emphasize the point that all his cattle receive a pasture diet that’s half grass and half legumes (trefoil, alfalfa and clover). No grain or corn is fed to his cattle, who reach the abattoir around 1,025 pounds and one and a half years in age.

As interpreter Joseph Liu looks on, beef farmer Bob Dobson explains the dietary importance of having legumes (like alfalfa) and grass in his livestock’s pastures. STEVE NEWMAN/ METROLAND

Some of the livestock at Dobson’s Grass-Fed Beef. trips to sale locations in Ottawa, do regular online sales through the Ottawa Valley Food Co-op and sell at the Carp Farmers Market. The only two retail outlets that sell his beef are Pura Vida Nutrition Store and Wheatless Wonders in Renfrew.

Dobson also has a cooking tip or two. In particular, don’t use microwaves or high temperatures to cook beef. And if you like it well done, cook at low temperatures in a marinade. For more about Dobson’s Grass-fed Beef and his cooking tips, visit www. dobsonfarm.com.

Installed in 1994, this system keeps cattle out of local waterways and provides clean water for up to 200 head of cattle. The system cost $5,500, while batteries need changing every five years. The underground location of the water, between pond and trough, allows the water to be fed year-round. The trough’s capacity is 4,000 litres. The second part of the water-pumping system is another trough with capacity for 1,200 litres. This system also operates in freezing temperatures. The Chinese also saw Dobson’s two hectares of black elderberries, which are sold as fresh, frozen and concentrated products. The delegation’s leader was Guoliang Han, deputy director general for the Chinese Ministry of Finance’s state office of comprehensive agricultural development. The main reason for the visit to Canada, which included trips to Ottawa, Toronto and other Ottawa Valley farming operations, was to establish international co-operation and exchange with those who practise sustainable agriculture. The delegation also viewed the winter feed storage facility for haylage and hay, and heard about the farm’s almost exclusive focus on direct marketing and sales to consumers.

GROWING FORWARD

*OTJEF UIF XBMMT Exterior stud walls are up and the interior stud walls are being built— the excitement is growing as the various tradesmen begin transforming the empty shell behind RVH’s emergency department into individual rooms. Janice Verch-Whittington, RVH Clinical Manager Nephrology, has been part of the planning team from the beginning. “It’s been a long process, 10 years, with lots of ups and downs,” she reflects.

At this stage, the nephrology unit is identifying items—for example, three or four different hemodialysis chairs—to trial. “We will get patient and staff input into our selection,” says Verch-Whittington. “We are doing this now so we’ll be ready to place our orders early in the new year and ensure delivery on time for our opening.” For Verch-Whittington it’s very exciting to watch the vision becoming a reality. “It doesn’t just change dialysis—it will change the whole hospital,” she says about the construction and redevelopment project.

3JTJOH UP UIF DIBMMFOHF A commitment to providing the best patient care possible combined with a strong vision for the future inspired Dr. Nicole Delbrouck, Nephrology Specialist, to choose RVH in 1993. Twenty-one years later she is continually impressed by how creative and committed the team at RVH is to their patients. “We’re always thinking of ways to do things better as we care for our patients.” The co-founder of the nephrology program for Renfrew County also recognizes the adversity care providers have been faced with in recent years as patient numbers and their health care needs have increased. With the opening of the state-of-the-art Regional Nephrology Centre, one of the program’s greatest challenges will be answered. Every aspect of a kidney patient’s care—education, clinics, treatment—will be located in the same area of the hospital for the first time since the program began in 1993. “Consolidated care will make a difference for patients and their families,” states Dr. Delbrouck.

R0062688264

A bonus is that there are exceptional features to benefit patients, notes Dr. Delbrouck. With more room in the unit, patient comfort levels also improve, and the additional dialyzing stations will mean less disruption to their schedules. Rescheduling treatment times is what Dr. Delbrouck recognizes as a very important factor in quality of life for the patients. The expanded unit will “allow our patients to attend family functions, travel when they want to, schedule tests easier, because they’re not at the mercy of a full unit.” Dr. Nicole Delbrouck

She sums up, “The level of care is already exceptional and with the new unit, it will be that much better.”

United Way sets 2014 campaign goal of $400,000 Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

News - “I am pleased to announce that our campaign goal is $400,000.” Those were the words of Renfrew County United Way honorary campaign chair Peter Emon in the Rotary Hall at Bonnechere Manor. Emon, who is also the warden of Renfrew County, made the announcement at the Sept. 17 United Way 2014 campaign kickoff breakfast catered by Tim Hortons. “We are determined to reach our goal with your help. Without you, there is no way,” Emon told the gathering. Change Starts Here, is the United Way motto, he added. “I’m excited to be part of this most important event for the communities of Renfrew County and its many residents who rely on the services and programs funded by United Way,” Emon said. “The funds raised by Renfrew County United Way through the generosity of its donors, stay in the county to work for our needs. The United Way ensures that the donor dollars with which it has been

entrusted are re-distributed in keeping with the wishes of the communities it serves to meet their highest priority needs.” It also raises awareness of these services, Emon added. There are six broad strategic community impact areas that define the work of the Renfrew County United Way and its partner agencies today, Emon said – youth, child poverty, seniors, transportation, safe and affordable housing, and health services. One in nine children is living below the poverty line, which is staggering, he added. Homelessness is not only a problem in Renfrew County, but a growing one, Emon added. The United Way receives no government assistance. “We need community champions to join us on this journey. Champions in the workplace, champions in the marketplace, champions at home, ordinary people who are willing to give, volunteer and act to help make our communities more resilient, healthy and inclusive places in which to live, work and raise a family,” Emon said. “Participate in some of the United Way’s fun events being

organized throughout the campaign by the United Way and supporting businesses and organizations,” he encouraged. “Be the change that you want to see in your community. Get involved. Partner with the United Way to help make change happen,” Emon added. RCUW executive director Gail Logan-McKeekin said Emon will make a great addition to their campaign this year. She noted the contributions of Atomic Energy Canada Limited of Chalk River, and Garrison Petawawa, and their employees. Without them, PETER CLARK/METROLAND there would be no United Way Renfrew County United Way honorary campaign chair Peter Emon is flanked by board campaign, she said. chair Shelley Rolland-Poruks, left, and executive director Gail Logan-McMeekin at the Logan-McKeekin also laud- campaign kickoff held at Bonnechere Manor Sept. 17. ed 18-year-old Katie Maclellan of Pembroke, who was faced with the challenge of looking after her mother and brother at age 9, attending school, and later getting a job, After surviving depression, Maclellan has become a spokesperson for the Robbie Dean Family Counselling Centre.

Birding in southern Ontario Take a trip this fall and see Ontario’s fall colours

NOT ALL ABOUT EGRETS

We now know where a great many of the Canada geese go when they leave here. Thousands of geese, mallards, ring-necked ducks, wood ducks, and pintails congregate in the hundreds of ponds in the KitchenerWaterloo area. Kingfishers, too, cannot be dismissed as they can be seen and heard as they fish the many ponds. Thousands of ring-billed gulls search for food at every fast food outlet and field in the vicinity. The regulars, chickadees, robins, nuthatches, black and white warblers, yellow-rumped warblers, hairy and downy woodpeckers, turkey vultures and crows are everywhere.

The name is derived from the yellow wing linings that can be seen when the bird is in flight. In the west the birds have red wing linings and are red -shafted flickers. There is also a cross between red and yellow shafted birds called a guilded flicker, seen only in the west.

SALE OF LAND BY PUBLIC TENDER

Wanda Stubinsky had a pigeon land in her yard that had yellow and blue bands on its legs, unusual for any bird. The bands or rings as they are sometimes called, are found on racing pigeons and identify the loft and the owner of the bird. These birds are of a special breed known for their ability to find their way to their home loft. When racing pigeons become disoriented because they are flying over unfamiliar territory during an event they come to ground completely exhausted. They have used up all their breast muscle and can no longer fly. Racing pigeons are tolerable of humans and are approachable almost to a point where they can be handled. If they are protected and fed cracked corn or finch seed they will regain their strength and be on their way. Hopefully to find their home loft. Wanda has the program well in hand.

HUMMERS GONE

Mary and Dwaine Steele saw the last of their hummers a week ago but continue to leave their feeders up to feed any late leavers. They are waiting for some migrants to arrive but in the meantime many blue jays, chickadees, mourning doves, white-breasted nuthatches, hairy and downy woodpeckers and a single pileated woodpecker are at their feeders. On a field trip west of Renfrew they saw 16 wild turkeys, a kestrel, a Cooper’s hawk and a female doublecrested cormorant with three chicks.

While we were visiting family, Andrea, Shane and Jack Cruise and Jade Armstrong, in Waterloo there was great interest in a rare snowy egret that had arrived on the Conestoga River. Nothing would do but we would try to find it. We drove to the town of Conestoga, found the Glasgow Street Bridge and began our search in the area where the bird had been last seen. Our search for the snowy egret was not successful but we did see four great egrets and eight great blue herons, an accomplishment in itself. There have not been any sightings of snowy egrets in our area but there have been several sightings of great egrets. On average, there are only five snowy egret sightings in Ontario each year, primarily in wetlands adjacent to Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. The best field marks are the brilliant white plumage, black bill, black legs and yellow feet. They are smaller than the great egret or a great blue heron. The great egret can be easily distinguished from the snowy by its larger size, yellow bill, and black legs. All egrets and herons were almost hunted to extinction by hunters seeking feather plumes for women’s hats. Fortunately the style did not last long and the birds have almost recovered to their former glory. One of the egrets gave us a demonstration of how a master fisher catches a fish, flips it into the air and snags it head first before swallowing it whole. Local birders expect the snowy egret will leave the region by early October, but until then the best place to catch a glimpse is the Glasgow Street Bridge over the Conestogo River.

People helping people at Seniors’ Home Support Elaine Tremblay Seniors Home Support volunteer

SENIORS HOME SUPPORT

Father Brennan, left, from St. Fracis Xavier Parish and Rand Elliott from the Renfrew Seniors Home Support board of directors were celebrity chefs for the Aug. 29 barbecue at the senior home support office. There was a great turnout and thanks go out to all who supported the barbecues.

Community - Summer has slowly come to an end and autumn is in the air with the cooler days and trees starting to change colours. We had a busy summer and our barbecues were a great success with the help of volunteers and the beautiful weather we experienced each time. Thanks to our community, we were able to raise $1,795 for our agency. Our last barbecue was a lot of fun and featured celebrity chefs Father Brennan and Rand Elliott who both cooked up a storm. I would like to thank everyone who participated, do-

nated and the volunteers who helped. Without all of you, the Seniors Home Support would not be the success it is. We will once again be having a fall raffle and tickets will be sold at the Christmas Craft Shows in November. Oct. 4 we will be hosting an afternoon dance at the Horton Community Centre from 2 to 5 p.m. featuring Smokey Rose and a light lunch. We will be partnering with Friends of the Disabled and Sunshine Coach to provide free transportation to the dance. To take advantage of this offer, please call the Home Support office to reserve your spot.

Dace tickets are $12 per person and are available at Aikenheads Drug Store, the Seniors’ Home Support office and will also be available at the door. I would once again like to remind everyone that we need more volunteers to help seniors age well at home. Volunteering reduces social isolation through active involvement in your community, increases socialization, fills your day in a way that benefits others and helps to reduce life’s stresses. Please call the office at 613432-7691 if you would like to volunteer and make a difference in our wonderful community. We need your help.

peter4renfrewreeve@gmail.com I would like to introduce myself to you. I am the current warden of Renfrew County and a property owner in the Town of Renfrew. I am also a candidate for Reeve in the election of October 27th. My wife and I along with our daughter will be building a home in Renfrew after 25 years of commuting here for work and a variety of community and social outings. I have a degree in social work and was employed as a child protection worker with a local agency and left that job after 25 years to spend more time at home. I now work part time with a local Mental Health agency. In the past I have served on the board of Renfrew Victoria Hospital, on the organizing committee of the Expo 150 celebrations. I have also been active in other projects and events in our community. Presently I am involved with the Renfrew County United Way to assist them in raising funds. I continue to be a member of the board of Renfrew and Area Health Services Village. In 2010 our community was faced with the very real and serious prospect of not having enough doctors to serve our community. The board acted quickly and formed partnerships with the Renfrew Industrial Commission, Renfrew Victoria Hospital, the four municipalities in the catchment area for RVH and the most importantly with the community. This unique and innovative partnership, formed with the Health Services Village economic engine concept in mind, has recruited and signed 10 doctors and has also highlighted the importance of this over $100 million a year economic generator located in our town. The Health Services Village district employs directly approximately 1800 people and contributes to a further 3200 employment opportunities.

I believe is looking at a situation as a challenge and I try to bring in all sorts of people from different backgrounds and work with them to craft a solution. I also regularly tap the contacts I have at other levels of government, our MP and MPP, also I connect with people on boards and committees I have sat on. Local government needs to constantly change and to locate partners, revenue and different service models. If we don’t change in Renfrew we will not progress nor will we keep or expand what we have to offer instead we will lose some very precious elements of our community and we will lose people who contribute as they move elsewhere or don’t move here. I believe in serving the community and being elected Reeve and serving on council and County Council is likely the most effective way for me to serve you and the community. I believe in utilizing the community to meet the needs of the community. I intend to think locally, assess globally and then act regionally. Renfrew can not continue to sit on the sidelines when making decisions about it’s future. Because Renfrew’s future is increasingly tied to the world economy, to the whims of the provincial government and to the needs of our many employers large and small. Renfrew needs to continually engage with all of these interested parties and partner with them or utilize and foster what they have to offer.

Emon

1. I intend to advocate for economic growth through partnerships within our community including existing businesses and our surrounding communities. Our community includes them and contributes to the curb appeal when we are promoting for new investment and development. 2. I intend to exercise common sense, to be equitable, in making decisions and to review all sorts of sources of information and not blindly accept the status quo when making a decision. Then focus on results and reviewing why it worked or didn’t work. Also on explaining, not defending, the decision. Decisions need to be made by councils and some are not popular. 3. I will value and respect your money when planning capital improvements and personnel decisions. This will include looking for partners where ever possible to provide services and facilities. 4. I intend to promote several ideas about how to have council regularly inform you as to what they and staff are doing throughout the term. 5. I intend to work with council. Leadership comes from everyone at the table and not just one person. Unlike other forms of government council needs to work with everyone at the table by submitting solutions. We all should run individually and govern collectively. If you run as a slate tell everyone prior to the election. 6. I intend to remain available. Stop me on the street or send me an email or call me and I will set up a time to meet you or coordinate meeting with the staff. I do not pretend to have all of the answers. 7. I intend to stimulate discussions about partnerships with our education system, Renfrew Industrial Commission, Renfrew and Area Health Services Village, service clubs, the other service providers in the community, other levels and local government. The partnerships will revolve around finding funding for existing and new services and facilities and enticing people and businesses to move here. 8. I intend to explain my comments and back it up with information and not continually guess at what is the best course of action. 9. I intend to ask for a plan of infrastructure replacement/repair timelines to be posted and updated annually. Part of that process is to then match this with a financing plan which once council agrees to it will allow homeowners and businesses some predictability over a five or ten year period while planning their own expenditures. 10. As Reeve I will ensure the Town of Renfrew has a prominent voice listened to and counted on for guidance at County Council, across the region, at Queens Park and in Ottawa. Your voice in these venues must be listened to and present ideas. I will be heard and I will present ideas. R0012911593

Her sister, 15-year-old Maeghan, will sing back-up vocals during the Carp set. “This is our home, the Carp Fair,” said Ziebarth, adding she was proud of her daughters. “It’s a great confidence builder for them.” “She always sang. She started off fiddle and step dancing,” said Ziebarth. “When Delaney was 14 or 15, she took up the guitar and really expressed an interest in singing out and writing.”

Her family took her to Nashville last spring, where Grant was coached by Renee Grant-Williams, a vocal coach who has worked with a number of country and pop artists. She also attended a by invitation only song-writing camp. “She’s always had music in her,” said Ziebarth. “We’re trying to work locally, just getting her out, getting people to listen to her.” Grant is a past finalist in the Ottawa Idol competition, as well as the Hoedown Showdown held in Toronto. She plays guitar, classical violin and fiddle, as well as the piano. She also works with Models International.

Madawaska Valley Studio Tour: 23 years of art, craft and colour

Sculptor Richard Gill’s new show Oct. 3-13 has a theme steeped in music and wine.

Madawaska Valley Studio Tour

Lifestyle -The days are getting shorter and the nights feel crisp and clear. It’s time for the Madawaska Valley Autumn Studio Tour! Bright fall colours in the forest and along the fencerows make it known once again that it’s time to take a pleasant drive through Renfrew County’s spectacular countryside, ablaze with reds, oranges and gold. It’s time to visit the creative studios of our many talented artists and artisans. Plan to attend the weekend of Oct. 4-5. Bigger and better and in its 23rd year, the tour is growing in leaps and bounds. There are more studios and guests this year than ever, with more diverse and unique crafts and art as well as some surprises. Last July a hugely-successful Summer Studio Tour introduced many newcomers to our studios. Now every member has been working hard, filling their studios with new and exciting creations for the autumn tour. There will be eight additional artisans this fall: Solar Woodcuts (fretwork) and guests Debbie Gilmer (stoneware) and Wendo van Essen (felting), plus guest textile artist Sharon Collins at AquaRose; guest sculptor Doug MacDonald; Linda Sorensen, guest Marilynne Dean Romanov (jewellery/photography); Chris Peltzer and guest

Only one studio is not available for the fall tour as Claudia Van Wijk has withdrawn. The tour is comprised of 15 studios from Combermere area to Eganville. All have been selected through a jury process that ensures quality, variety and choice for the visitor throughout the tour. It’s an excellent occasion to meet with artists and learn more about the creative process. You will be able to watch demonstrations and discover new treasures in jewelry, pottery, fibre art, weaving, fabric and felting, glass, handmade soap, skin care products, photography, woodturning,

fretwork, forged knives, cast stone, and fine art paintings in oil, acrylic and watercolour. The new expanded Madawaska Valley Studio Tour brochure is available at Tourist Information Centres and many business locations throughout the Ottawa Valley, as well as at every Studio. The brochure contains lots of information plus a map and directions to each Studio. Pick your brochure up early and plan your route. The tour is free, so just start anywhere and watch for red maple leaf signs along the road which will be your guide to the studios. Studio hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Oct. 4 and 5. For more information, please visit our website www. madawaskastudiotour.com or phone 613-754-2955.

Has your car reached the end of the road?

News - In Burnstown sculptor Richard Gill’s youth he was known for having one of the best and diverse record collections in high school. Later, as a young budding student of architecture studying urban design at the University of Florence, he was enchanted by the surrounding hill towns and vineyards where he would retreat to sketch and draw. Today, as his taste in wine and music have evolved, so has the nostalgic desire to express it in his work; shaping the human form and expressive body language of well and lesser known blues, jazz and rock musicians as well as the architectural structure of their instruments. Composing and capturing the harmony and rhythm of cascading vineyards and hill towns of Tuscany in his unique medium of sculpted

clay-relief, Gill hopes his new works will strike a chord with the viewer. This year’s show will also highlight his new designs in lamps that shed an intriguing soft glow of light through windows that emanates from within the interior walls of village settlements. The show, which marks the 42nd annual event for the Burnstown artist/sculptor, opens at his Fog Run Studio at Bittersweet Gallery Friday, Oct. 3 with an afternoon preview at 2 p.m. and vernissage until 9 p.m. As is tradition, tastefunatics Gunnar and Bettina Guckes will create gourmet canapes to complement the show theme. The show continues daily 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Oct. 13. Images of some new works can be seen at www.burnstown.ca/bittersweet.

RCI Raiders split 2014 school gridiron home openers Wolves split Peter Clark

JUNIOR RAIDERS 20, PERTH 0

peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - One game doesn’t a season make, but declaring the Renfrew Collegiate Junior Raiders a vastly improved team over last year is a fair assessment. The Raiders were impressive on both sides of the ball en route to a 20-0 win over the visiting Perth Blue Devils in their 2014 Lanark-Renfrew High School Football League season opener Thursday afternoon at MaTe-Way Park’s Lindsay Field. The game, on the last day of Spirit Week at RCI, and followed the annual Pigskin Parade from the school, down Raglan Street and out to MaTe-Way Park.

A couple of plays after the RCI defence stopped Perth on a thirddown gamble in the first quarter, Alex Arbour rambled from his own side of midfield to give the Raiders the lead. Quarterback Brendan Barber then engineered a drive culminating with Ben Scheuneman’s 34-yard score in the second period. Bailey Smith converted both for a 14-0 RCI lead. He also registered an interception. The Junior Raiders’ final points on the afternoon came in the fourth quarter. Evan Gillan delivered the goods with 11 minutes remaining.

PETER CLARK/METROLAND

The Renfrew Collegiate Senior Raiders’ lone TD in their Thursday afternoon high school football home opener came from the defence. Alex Bechamp (78) steps in front of a pass from the Arnprior Redmen quarterback, and returns it 45 yards to hit paydirt in the fourth quarter. Already up 19-0, Arnprior went on to win 26-7.

The Junior Raiders play a sevengame regular-season schedule. RCI’s next four games are on the road. They don’t return home until Wednesday, Oct. 22 when the Junior Raiders meet the Smith Falls Redhawks in the first game of a doubleheader. ARNPRIOR 26, SENIOR RAIDERS 7

The Arnprior Redmen burnt the Raiders with big plays in their Renfrew County High School League senior contest. Arnprior notched its first major score on an 80-yard passand-run play, and a second-quarter

TD covering 70 yards. The Raiders also scored their lone touchdown on a big play. Alex Bechamp returned an interception 45 yards to the house in the fourth quarter for RCI’s only TD. The Senior Raiders again have a six-game schedule. They play two games each against Arnprior, Pembroke’s Fellowes Falcons and the Mackenzie Mustangs of Deep River. The Senior Raiders’ next home game is Friday, Oct. 17 versus Mackenzie. This year’s Turkey Bowl doubleheader is in Arnprior on Saturday, Oct. 11. The junior clash is at noon, followed by the seniors at 2 p.m.

Sports - The Renfrew Timberwolves suffered their first loss of the season Sunday afternoon. But coupled with a Friday-night win, the Renfrew club still leads the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League’s Valley Division with a 3-and-1 record two weeks into the season. The Wolves outlasted the Metcalfe Jets Friday before falling 8-1 Sunday to the Stittsville Royals. WOLVES 4, METCALFE 3

Evan Gillan of the Junior Raiders outsprints a pair of Perth defenders to the end zone with 11 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter to solidify RCI’s win over the Perth Blue Devils in the first game of the Raiders’ season-opening high school football doubleheader Thursday afternoon at Ma-Te-Way Park’s Lindsay Athletic Field. The Junior Raiders posted a 20-0 triumph.

The Wolves and Metro loop’s Metcalfe Jets teamed up for a second thriller in as many meetings at the Osgoode Arena. And for the second time, it was a late-game Stephane Pare goal that made the difference. Pare took passes from Bailey Hein and defenceman Teddy Suckow and ripped a drive past Metcalfe netminder Jean-Pascal Sabourin just 1:03 from the end to give the Wolves their margin of victory. Three times, the Wolves took a one-goal lead earlier in the contest, and three times, the home team fought back, before the Pare tally finally rid themselves of the pesky Jets. Matt McIntyre, Lucas Gonu and Jacob Collins connected earlier for the Wolves. Renfrew’s Dane Brumm backstopped the victory in his junior B debut, blocking 40 shots. The Wolves fired 20 shots Sabourin’s way in each of the second and third periods, and 53 overall. See Wolves, page 42

Tournament champion, with the low-gross score in the field of 122, was Judy Collins of the Hylands Golf Club in Ottawa.

Wolves come up short in Stittsville It turned out to be a foggy Sunday afternoon in Stittsville for the Wolves, They fell out of contention early, down 3-0 in the first period and 5-0 before Travis Jamieson’s lone Renfrew goal got them on the scoreboard. Cole Carter and Shane Hi-

ley led Stittsville with two goals each. Wolves’ goaltender Matt Gagne faced 43 shots while Royals’ counterpart Connor Ellis blocked 32 of 33 Renfrew drives. The teams combined for 77 penalty minutes with Matt McIntyre and Alex Campbell

Community - Six full tables were in play Wednesday, Sept. 17 at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. Interest was heightened by two successful slam efforts. Gary Irving and Wayne Daze recorded a six no trump and Tom and Sharon Sewter a six spades doubled contract. Slams, of course, are the holy grail of bridge. See BRIDGE, page 44

Kick and Push way to Ashdad

Morning Tennis wrap-up The Morning Tennis Group at the Renfrew Tennis Club held their annual season-closing lunch following the Karp Seeman Memorial Tournament at the Lions Club Ma-Te-Way Park Tennis Courts Saturday. Seated from left, are Robert Cayen, Margaret Ann Fraser and Janet McGonigal; and standing, Charlie Renaud, Les Sproule, Sharon Cayen, Mark Prinn, most improved player award winner Suzanne May, Wayne Fraser, Audrey Stewart and Bruce Stewart. The Morning Group will continue to play as long as weather permits.

Sports - Renfrew’s newest walking group, the Kick and Push Pedestrian Society (KAPPS), ties on its boots again on Sunday, Sept. 28. This time their path begins at the intersection of Ferguslea and Kunopaski Roads and walks south to Ashdad Road. This is a comfortable 11.5-kilometre walk (about 2.5 hours), along the level and beautifully re-surfaced trail, mostly through gentle forests. KAPPS encourages a new pedestrianism, middle-distance recreational walking, ‘tracing the tracks, one step at a time’ along our heritage rail lines. Once a month they explore the high-quality walking trails around the Town of Renfrew. Their preferred trails are the K&P Trail from Renfrew to Flower Station and the Millennium Trail from Renfrew to Arnprior. They specialize in middle distance walks, that is eight to 10 kilometres. Walking at a brisk pace, they’ll pull into their destination after three hours on the tracks. Walks are suitable for all abilities and almost entirely through forested areas. Pole and pole-less walkers are

welcome, as are polite leashed dogs, and energetic parents with equally energetic kids. They prefer walking and don’t encourage sharing their walks with bikes. Each month, on the fourth Sunday morning, from 9 a.m. to around noon, they explore a different section of the trails. They meet at a convenient intersection to leave vehicles, locating a vehicle at either end of the route to avoid backtracking. Following the walk, all walkers are invited to continue the event with a Brag’n’Brunch at a local restaurant. The Brag’n part means one guest will present a short brag on a special walk they have taken. There is no registration and no cost, the walk starts promptly at 9 a.m., rain or shine. All you need is water/snacks, proper footwear and clothing. Please leave all your electronics (cell phones, GPS, tablets etc.) at home. For more information, including a map of this month’s walk or to volunteer for the trail crew, contact Ray Parchelo, 613-433-9405 or ray@padakun.com.

Taking part in the ceremony Sept. 18, from left, are Phil Moore representing Arnprior District High School, Gord Sadler of the L’il Warriors basketball club, Holmes, Renfrew Association of Approved Basketball Officials president Vic Navickas and Joe Lavoie of the Valley Pride Basketball Club.

Phil Moore explains why Dick Holmes is being honoured as the senior and junior ADHS and RCI girls basketball teams look on. Holmes, a long time referee and coach, took off his ADHS shirt part way through the ceremony to show he was wearing RCI blue underneath. The teams from the two schools will play two preseason exhibition games called the Dick Holmes Tribute Challenge each year.

Holmes honoured for contribution

Sports - There’s a great deal of Valley pride in the contributions of basketball’s Dick Holmes. In between pre-season Arnprior District High School Redmen-Renfrew Collegiate Raiders junior and senior girls basketball games Sept. 18, Holmes was presented with a plaque honouring more than 35 years of involvement in the game. The exhibition games have been named the Dick Holmes Tribute Challenge in his honour and will be played each year to kick off the regular season. ADHS, the Renfrew Association of Approved Basketball Officials, the L’il Warriors and the Valley Pride Basketball Club got together to bestow the honour on Holmes, who has played a key role on the local youth basketball scene since 1972. Holmes was touched by the outpouring of affection, which included loud applause from the crowd at ADHS and the senior and junior players from both RCI and ADHS. “It’s been a blast. I’ve enjoyed it all,” he said. “I see a lot of faces I’ve coached and refereed,” he said, looking around the gymnasium. During his acceptance speech he

doled out his trademark Lifesavers to each team. In typical refereeing fashion, so as not to show bias, he took off his red ADHS-coloured shirt partway through his speech to show he was wearing blue, RCI’s colours, underneath. While he has a soft sport for the teams from ADHS, being a coach there for so

long, he said he always admired the Renfrew players’ grit and toughness. In presenting the Tribute Challenge plaque, ADHS counsellor and former athletic director Phil Moore informed the crowd that Holmes is not only a longtime basketball coach, he has been a referee for at least 35 years.

The Renfrew Collegiate Raiders hosted their annual Pigskin Parade around the noon hour Thursday, prior to the two football teams’ season-opening doubleheader. Students whoop it up in above photo.

Preparation for new season a team effort at the Renfrew Curling Rink Andy Sklepowicz Behind the Glass

Sports - As predicted, registration night was a busy affair with many new faces in the crowd. A new offering, the community league, mirroring golf’s rec leagues, drew a lot of interest. Teams of four or more members, often sponsored by a local business, curl every Friday night. There are two divisions – A and B – in a fun and relaxed game. Because it allows for any number of players

on a team, it is ideal for shift workers or people who can’t commit to a regular league. It is mainly geared to non-members and open to the public, and is a good way to experience regular curling for the first time. Those looking for a leg up can also curl in the Rookie Rocks program, a six-week, $60, learn-to-curl program which starts Tuesday, Oct. 28. For more information on the community league, contact Gord Eady, 613-432-6127 and for Rookies Rocks, contact Andy Sklepowicz, 613-432-6725.

This has been a very busy summer for the board and all the work committees as the most recent fire report necessitated extensive and costly repairs and upgrades to the building. A new bar dishwasher and plumbing upgrades were also completed, along with regular repairs and maintenance. But when the club opens for curling, all work will be completed and will provide an even better curling experience for our members and our guests. All this planning, preparation and

work needs to be recognized. Leading the list are David Anderson for implementing the fire report, along with his other house duties aided by his able team, especially Brian Yolkowskie and Bernie Leclaire. Brian has also spent countless hours helping to bring all projects in well below budget. Barb Westgarth has implemented a multi-pronged ad campaign to aid in our greatest need – increased membership. Jim Berg has once again patched our brine pipes and ensured we will

have great ice to curl on. Tony Lapienes looks after finances. Lee Sharpe has orchestrated a number of bridge and euchre events to support the brine fund as well as putting together an ambitious schedule of fundraising events for the upcoming season. Janice Forgie and Laurie MacMillan, the bingo ladies, found a fun way to raise funds. All other board members and other volunteers contributed their time to serve their fellow club members.

MP calls out Opposition during Iraq debate Editor’s note: The following is a news release from the office of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant. News - Cheryl Gallant, MP Renfrew-NipissingPembroke called out members of the Opposition over their lack of support for Canada’s military and the rule of law. Parliament held a special emergency debate about the developing situation in Iraq and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, ISIL, as we know it. “The Official Opposition in Ottawa cannot decide whether it supports our women and men in uniform. In today’s troubled world, our friends and enemies demand clarity. “Thankfully, with Prime Minister Stephen Harper, his leadership on the world stage is well understood. We stand OFFICE OF MP CHERYL GALLANT with our friends and we opMP Cheryl Gallant presents an Enduring Spouse Pin to retired pose those who would do us

harm,” said Gallant. “That also means providing the right equipment if and when we ask our military to go into harm’s way.” ACTS OF BRUTALITY

MP Gallant also used the debate to speak out against the acts of brutality against Iraq’s religious minority communities, particularly Iraq’s Christian communities. “The persecution of Iraq’s Christian communities has been no less brutal. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi Christians have now fled their homes, having been faced with the stark choice of the advancing Islamist militants: submit to Islam, flee, or be killed. “By some estimates, we are now witnessing the near total disappearance of Christians from the region,” she said. “Whereas the population

included more than one million Christians prior to 2003, including over 600,000 in Baghdad and tens of thousands more in Mosul and in Kirkuk as of late July, these numbers are estimated to have dwindled to less than 400,000 with many more having now fled Iraq as the violence has accelerated over the past six weeks. The incredible loss that this represents for Iraq, for the region and for the world cannot be overstated.,” she added. GARRISON PETAWAWA

MP Gallant concluded her remarks by recognizing the role of Garrison Petawawa in providing personnel to the troubled region: “As the member of Parliament for Renfrew-NipissingPembroke, which includes CFB Petawawa, I am proud to acknowledge the Canadian Special Operations

Regiment, CSOR, which is headquartered in Petawawa. CSOR was established in 2006 and is the first new Canadian regiment to be stood up since 1968 when the Canadian Airborne Regiment was created. “On that note, the politically-motivated decision to disband the airborne regiment was wrong. In today’s troubled world, I know that Canadians would benefit from those skills.” “As Canadians are aware, CSOR members have been deployed to Iraq to advise and provide intelligence first-hand to the Canadian government about the situation in Iraq and the threat posed by ISIL.” “On behalf of the Canadian government, I wish to thank the Petawawa families of serving soldiers for the important role they play in keeping the home fires burning,” Gallant concluded.

WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED

The three-show tour comes with songs about miners, loggers, farm-

ers, railroaders, ranchers, cowboys, oil riggers, truck drivers, fishermen, gunfighters, bootleggers, brawlers, gamblers, drinkers, and low down two-bit sons-of-guns. The songs will also be in support of the latest album entitled Western Star, Hus’s third release on the Stony Plain record label alongside such greats as Ian Tyson and Corb Lund. The anticipated recording has song stories ranging from the life of a cross-country truck driver pulling out of Cornwall in a Western Star rig and receiving a second chance after a rollover wreck, to the history of the Madawaska River and Samuel Champlain’s journey to the area for the fur trade Joining in the Ottawa-area shows are two local masters of the song writing and singing trade, John Allaire and Terry McLeish. Starting out in 1984, Allaire has performed in several bands, including Town Cryers, which reached the number one spot on seven radio stations in Canada with their first release in 1987, All’s Well. Several bands later, fully recoverefrom a heart attack and a subsequent Heart of Steel album, Allaire has shared the stage with Blue Rodeo, Steve Earle, Lynn Miles and Tom Cochrane . McLeish co-wrote the song, Minimum Wage, which was dubbed The Best Of The Top Ten Songs Out Of Ottawa in 2013. Major influences in McLeish’s music and writing have been Steve Goodman, Ian Tyson, John Prine, Bob Dylan and Steve Earle.

Rick Leben and Lyle Dillabough host the old-tyme music fundraising concert Sept. 14 at Glasgow United Church. The third annual A Time Up the Line concert featured a variety of local musicians, from left, Leben, Danny Strong, Rick Legree, Dillabough and legendary Valley keyboard player Bernie Costello. Don MacIsaac also performed. A Time Up the Line began when Valley Troubadour Lyle Dillabough mentioned during a radio interview that the Glasgow United Church was amongst several buildings in the Valley that he felt drawn to and congregation member Grace Yantha-Blimkie told Dillabough he was always welcome and suggested a concert.

BECAUSE YOUR BUSINESS IS OUR BUSINESS

Lifestyle - The late great Stompin’ Tom Connors passed the torch on to Calgary-based Canadian country and cowboy singer Tim Hus after proclaiming he’d been looking 30 years for a young guy who’s proud to write songs about our country. The days of touring with Stompin’ Tom have come to an end, with his death in May 2013. But performing concerts all across this country hasn’t slowed down for Hus and his touring band, The Rocky Mountain Two. Their Oct. 2-4 tour takes them to Ottawa, Denbigh and Pembroke. After the Oct. 2 show at the Celtic Cross in Ottawa, the show moves up the Valley to the Denbigh hall on Friday, Oct. 3. For ticket orders or show details, call 613-801-1219. The Tim Hus Show resumes Saturday, Oct. 4 at The Thirsty Beaver in Pembroke at 9 p.m. in conjunction with The Terry McLeish Show. For details, call 613-735-8881. The people they meet, the towns they visit and the stories they hear are all research for the songs in Hus’s repertoire of catchy tuned clever lyric songs. These include Hotel Saloon, whose lyrics include: There’s an 18- point elk rack hanging above the door, The boot heels of the dancers have worn grooves upon the floor, The cowboys have been drinking here since the prohibition days,

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, September 25, 2014 49

Tuesday was the day to undertake the ritual of ironing

Lifestyle - It never failed. Every Tuesday morning, Mother lamented all through breakfast about the job ahead. The washing had been done the day before: on Monday. It mattered not if it had hailed, snowed, rained, or the wind blew at a gale force, Monday was wash day, and that’s all there was to it. And that made Tuesday the day to do the ironing, and it was the one household chore Mother hated with a passion. It had little to do with the job itself, it had everything to do with the irons she had to use. These were clunky, heavy lumps of iron, oval shaped, and to use them there was a clamped handle that fitted over the base, and the clamp, when released hugged the iron, making it secure and ready to use. The handle had to be separate, because there were always at least three bases sitting on the stove getting hot. On Monday night, the iron bases were put right on the front burner of the Findlay Oval, so that they could absorb as much heat off the stove as possible, ready for the morn-

ing ironing. Mother had seen the latest in irons through the kitchen door at a neighbour’s house on the next line, but had no intention of ever getting something she was sure could blow up the old log house as quick as a wink if it took the notion. It was an iron with a container attached to it, which held gas, and that heated the iron...no siree, Mother wasn’t going to take a chance on one of those new-fangled contraptions! As much as she hated the irons she used on the farm, at least they were safe! She had enough to worry about with the coal oil lamps, which she always treated with great respect. The clothes would have been taken off the line late day

on Monday, and neatly folded in at least two hampers. Washing for seven people meant there would always be plenty of laundry. And of course, the clothes had to be folded and piled in order. Heaven forbid that the sparkling white tea towels should ever come in contact with something of a darker colour. Not because the colours would run, but simply because that’s the way it was done back then. Like colours together, and the whites separate from everything else! Mother would have the kitchen ready for the ironing before we headed out for school. Two straight-backed chairs would hold what passed for an ironing board. It was nothing fancy like the ones you could buy at Scott’s hard-

ware...ones that sprung up and locked in place. No this ironing board was smoothed off piece of lumber, wrapped in many layers of well-used flannelette sheets, and topped with one or two opened-up white flour bags, well bleached beforehand of course. It was set on the backs of the two kitchen chairs, and then everything was ready for what would take the better part of Mother’s Tuesday. Of course, much of the laundry had to be dampened. So Mother brought a small basin of water to the ironing board, and dipping her hand into the water, she sprinkled each piece royally and then rolled it into a tight sausage shape. These were the pieces of clothing that had to have the wrinkles ironed out, and there they sat like little logs until ready to be ironed. These damped pieces would be hankies, the dress shirts Father and the brothers wore to church, the little Pe-

ter Pan collars that adorned so many of our dresses in those Depression years, bringing a bit of relief to our very plain wardrobe, and the hand-embroidered pillow cases. Even the hems of the flourbag sheets would be ironed. When we went off to school, Mother would already be bent over the ironing board. At one end of the board was a saucer, and here Mother kept a block of wax, and occasionally I would see her pass the hot iron over this wax. But I never knew the purpose of the exercise. All I knew was it was a part of that Tuesday’s ritual. When we came home from school on ironing day, you could still smell the sweet scent of freshly ironed clothes. The board would be gone from the backs of the two chairs, and tucked behind the door out in the summer kitchen, where it would stay until the next Tuesday. On the bake table, would be the neat stack of freshly

ironed tea towels, the boys and Father’s shirts neatly folded, the pillow slips, and anything else that needed to have one of those heavy irons passed over it. And hanging on the back of the kitchen door would be spanking clean aprons at the ready. The iron bases would be sitting on tin pie plates cooling off so that they could be put away until needed again. Mother would be dead tired that night...having stood most of the day over the ironing board. My sister Audrey would be given the job of putting all the clothes away, and when I helped her, I couldn’t resist pressing my nose against the clean pillow slips, capturing that fresh smell of the outdoors. And I would wonder, but never dare to ask, why we didn’t change our bedding on Tuesdays instead of on Saturdays, by which time that wonderful scent of freshly ironed linens would be gone.

Lifestyle - Spirit week ended last week for RCI and RCIS students with the iconic pig skin parade and double header football game Thursday, Sept. 18. Principal Terry Hughes says, “Spirit Week is wonderful for our school.

The football season then got underway with the Juniors winning 20-0 against Perth while the Seniors were defeated 26-7 against Arnprior.

Kidney Walk rained out but still a success Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Community - A kidney transplant for Austin May means a chance at just being a kid. Three months ago, Austin had “Bob” – a donor kidney – transplanted. Austin, a Grade 10 student at Opeongo High School and this year’s Renfrew Kidney Walk ambassador, spoke to the group assembled at Ma-Te-Way Park about how that operation gave him a chance at a new life. “I can eat what I want, live a normal life as a kid,” he said, adding he was thankful for the Kidney Foundation. The walk itself was cancelled due to heavy rain, thunder and lightning on Sept. 21, but there were still a number of participants in attendance. The Valliquette family was out in full force for the event, something near and dear to their hearts. Ez Valliquette received two kidney transplants over the years. At age 45 he was placed on dialysis for one year until he received a kidney from his brother. That kidney lasted for four years before it began to fail. “You’re going into your prime earning years,” said Ez of that period in his

The Holley sisters, from left, Caroline, Delaney and Hannah, address the crowd for the third annual Renfrew Kidney Foundation Walk at Ma-Te-Way Park. The walk itself was cancelled due to weather but participants still made the event a success.

The Valliquette family is out in full force to support Ez, third from right, and the Kidney Foundation. Ez received two kidney transplants more than 12 years ago. life. He was unable to save for his future or plan for retirement with his health up in the air. “It was very, very difficult,” he said. When the first transplant failed, he was placed back on dialysis for another 12 months, then received the news he would be getting another new kidney. That was 12 years ago. Ez, now 63, is retired and volun-

teers as a driver for Seniors Home Support. “I don’t know if you’re ever 100 per cent but I feel quite strong,” he said. “I’m happy every day. I wake up every day and I consciously decide to try and be happy for what I have – and I have a lot.” His wife Jane, sister Leona Warren, brother-in-law Carl Warren, son Mark Valliquette, daughter-in-law Laura, and granddaughter Elena were all

there to support the Kidney Foundation. Ez’s experience is “why we’ll be at this every year,” said Laura. “Any exposure to any of these organizations – kidney walk, cancer run – health care is an insatiable animal; it needs the support of the community to succeed,” said Ez. This year’s Kidney Walk was organized by the Holley Participants in this year’s third annual Kidney Walk sisters Delaney, Hannah and at Ma-Te-Way Park gather together to watch Austin Caroline.

The 100-plus air cadets with Commander Chris Hadfield.

Air cadets meet Canadian astronaut who not only answered questions but later in the day gave everyone in the crowd a full-on boom-andzoom demonstration of the capabilities of the fighter jet. The cadets were also greeted by the Vintage Wings founder, Honorary Colonel of the Snowbirds and successful entrepreneur Mike Potter, who answered questions on leaderships, discipline and goalsetting. The day’s events also included a free prepared lunch and touring static aircrafts on the GatineauOttawa executive airport ramp, and also a powerful surprise tribute to Commander Chris Hadfield. A wonderful summer was had

by many of the local cadets who attended various cadet camps across Canada. They are looking forward to another season that began with the first of the regular Tuesday meetings Sept. 9 at the Renfrew Armouries.

Metroland East Special Report

Sex-offender supports on a shoestring Despite its success, the federal gov’t is pulling funding for Circles of Support, a program that helps high-risk sex offenders Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

T

he day the doors to David’s prison cell slid open and he was free after spending five and a half years behind bars for sex crimes against children, he was given a one-way ticket to Ottawa and placed on a bus. Armed only with expired identification, a little cash earned inside prison and two boxes and a bag containing his few possessions, David arrived in the city with limited prospects. The challenges he faced reintegrating in society were enormous. There would be hurdles in finding a job and stable housing, securing money and proper identification and abiding by strict supervision rules that kicked in upon his release. “It had been almost six years,” said David, speaking under a pseudonym to protect his identity. “It was overwhelming. Scary, because you’re coming out into society and it’s open, it’s freedom. “So it was difficult at first, but eventually you blend into it.” The key to blending in, in part, proved to be two smiling women who met him at the bus stop as planned, – his first introduction to a surrogate network of friends and family who wanted to help him rebuild his life, and in the process, ensure he would not reoffend. They are among more than 50 volunteers with Circles of Support and Accountability-Ottawa, one of 20 CoSA programs across Canada through which 500 volunteers are helping nearly 200 high-risk, highneeds sex offenders reintegrate in society after prison. “At first I didn’t know what to do. I have no social life,” said David. “There was a bit of boredom, a bit of loneliness, but I was able to talk to CoSA about it.” Each week, he met with his group

While critics are alarmed by the federal government’s decision to cut off essential funding to a successful program that safeguards the community by helping higher-risk sex offenders stay victim-free after prison, offenders themselves say the program has been key to ensuring they do not commit more crimes.

They provided him with friendship and support, referring him to services in the city that could help him. Positive social supports, experts say, combined with sexual-behaviour counselling and treatment, are key to ensuring former offenders such as David do not fall back into their old

patterns, leading to more victims. After almost a year with CoSA, David seemed to be doing well. He had stable housing at a halfway house for ex-inmates and was taking part in a counselling program there. He had found work. But he was keeping secrets. David was unlawfully using a cellphone to access the Internet and messaging people. He became evasive with his volunteers.

“I was doing OK, but I didn’t tell them what I had or what I was doing. I didn’t want to get caught. I didn’t want to go back to jail,” he said. “Because then we would’ve been obliged to report (to police),” recalled Susan Love, program co-coordinator of CoSA-Ottawa since 2002, the year it was officially established with funding from Correctional Service Canada. “I thought I was going to get away with it, and then I went further,” David said. His volunteers knew something was wrong. Suspicious halfway house staff found restricted items, such as his phone, in his room. That day, when David returned from work, he was arrested. He was convicted for breaching his release conditions and spent eight months in a detention centre and another eight in prison. “It was so disappointing,” said one of his volunteers, who requested anonymity to protect David’s identity. “I knew something was wrong, and he was very good at hiding.” She and Love stuck by him, and CoSA agreed to support him again after his release in exchange for promising to abide by several extra conditions. “I didn’t have to continue the relationship, but I thought, ‘Hate what they do, don’t hate the person,’” the volunteer said. “It’s unconditional.” David is back living at the halfway house, working full time and meeting with his CoSA volunteers. “It’s based on trust and through trust the guys open up more. It’s like a friendship, almost like a family that develops,” said Love, who currently oversees more than 50 trained volunteers helping 11 men in Ottawa – with two more on the way – many of whom have been convicted of multiple violent sexual offences against children or adults. “The thing is we all have circles of support – family, friends, colleagues. They often have nobody.” Many high-risk sex offenders are considered such a high risk to reoffend they are kept locked up for the duration of their sentence. The day they are released, many no longer fall under the jurisdiction of Correctional Service Canada, nor are they eligible for continued support, treatment or supervision. Their success becomes doubtful, the reason why many voluntarily participate in CoSA, the only program of its kind.

But supporting and holding these people accountable for their actions costs money, and funding cuts from the federal government are imminent. FUNDING ISSUES

CoSA-Ottawa is now scrambling to find long-term funding, but may have to consider eventually closing its doors. It is not alone. Seventeen of 20 CoSA programs across Canada will lose about $300,000 on March 31, 2015, from Correctional Service Canada – including $12,000 from CoSA-Ottawa. The funding was originally slated for the chopping block on March 31, 2014, but was reinstated for another year after Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney asked the correctional service to reconsider. Beyond next March, the department will continue to fund $325,000 annually to the Mennonite Central Committee of Ontario, which supports more than 50 Circles in southern Ontario. While the cuts were made “following a rigorous budget and program analysis of the community based initiative,” CSC agrees the program is effective. “Volunteers and partners such as CoSA actively engage community support which is essential to building safer communities,” federal corrections spokeswoman Melissa Hart said in an email. When asked if the department will reconsider its decision, she said all CoSAs are encouraged “to actively seek out other sources of ongoing funding.” The saving grace over the past five years has been a $7.5-million project through Public Safety Canada’s National Crime Prevention Centre researching the effectiveness of the program at 16 CoSA sites in 19 cities. The results have not yet been published. Of that, Ottawa’s program has received $82,000 annually, which has also allowing it to expand its programming, help more participants, improve volunteer training and screening and hire a part-time assistant and casual bookkeeper. With the contract set to expire on Sept. 30, CoSA-Ottawa is cutting everywhere it can – the bookkeeper has been let go, and the assistant will leave at the end of the month. Continued on page 61

The charity recently secured two $10,000 one-year grants from the Community Foundation of Ottawa and the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa. “We’re definitely not out of the woods,” said Love. The optimal annual cost to fund CoSA, and help cover expenses, such as rent and allow Love to work full time, is between $80,000 and $100,000. But at the end of the month, CoSA will need to survive on $32,000, $10,000 of which can’t be used for salaries. That total will be further reduced by $12,000 at the end of March. “This is certainly not sufficient to continue to operate at capacity, so I will likely have to be reduced to part time which is problematic with our increased numbers,” said Love, whose role includes providing oversight and intervention. “And if I’m not able to do that because I’m so busy applying for grants and that sort of thing then that’s not safe.” It’s too soon to tell whether the Ottawa Circles will have to be scaled back to some degree. “So I don’t know if we’d have to tell some guys, ‘Let’s look at the highest risk to reoffend,’” said Love. “I don’t want to have to make that kind of judgment call.” CoSAs have proven extremely successful in curbing reoffence rates. A national study of two groups of 44 offenders from 2005 to 2007 revealed those who relied on CoSA after prison sexually reoffended 83 per cent less and violently reoffended 73 per cent less compared to the group that did not have Circles. Of the 35 men who have participated in the Ottawa program since 2002, one reoffended sexually, though less severely compared to his previous crimes. Some, like David, have breached release conditions. “(That) is a small number, but when you think of the number of victims who have not been affected because of those 35 guys, that’s hard to quantify,” Love said. The funding cuts are creating a new crisis in a system already plagued by problems, according to Dr. Paul Federoff, an Ottawa-based forensic psychiatrist who was involved in forming Canada’s second Circle in 1994. The release that year of notorious pedophile Wray Budreo, who had dozens of convictions for molesting boys, prompted outrage, but

Impending cuts are already being felt at Circles of Support and Accountability-Ottawa, says CoSAOttawa program co-ordinator Susan Love, at left. The program must do without Adina Ilea, right, part-time CoSA data co-ordinator and program assistant for the past five years. also a positive grassroots response. Because he had fully served his sentence, Budreo was being discharged homeless and without community supervision, which Federoff says still happens today. Media attention was intense, and under the cover of darkness one Sunday night he was secretly driven from the prison chaplain’s home to Federoff’s office. “We set up on that day one of the first CoSA Circles and I’m happy to say that person never reoffended,” said Federoff, a forensic psychiatrist and director of the Sexual Behaviours Clinic at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. In another example, a sexual predator would wait at the bus station for children to get off the bus, then invite them to stay at his home, where he would assault them. “He was released from the federal penitentiary and driven to the bus station where he was left,” said Federoff. “That’s how our system works now, with no supervision.” Parole is designed to allow an offender to transition back into the community with some level of supervision. But over time the Parole Board of Canada has become increasingly conservative to the point where a federal high-risk sex offender is kept imprisoned until his sentence is complete, said Federoff, who treats and provides therapy to 70 people a week, some of them former offenders who also receive support from CoSA-Ottawa. “So they go to immediate free-

dom in the community with no supervision at all – probably the worst possible scenario that you could think of,” he said. “And that’s now become routine.” Police agree there is an enormous gap in providing support to dangerous offenders who are deemed “too bad” to be released early. “The people who are lower risk get all the resources and the people that were too dangerous to be released on parole get nothing,” said Staff Sgt. Dana Reynolds, head of the Ottawa police high risk offender unit, which is responsible for monitoring high-risk offenders, among other roles. “It’s kind of like a strange loophole in the law.” Parolees, as well as those offenders such as David whose postrelease supervision orders include a residency stipulation, have access to halfway houses, treatment and the support of a parole officer. But there are many who are released free and clear without support and are going into homeless shelters as a result. This sets them up for failure, said Reynolds, reason why, over the past year she has tried, though unsuccessfully, to secure grants in partnership with organizations such as the John Howard Society of Ottawa to pay for dedicated beds in halfway houses for this population. Homeless shelters offer many temptations, such as drugs, and police say it can be difficult to track those who don’t have a fixed ad-

dress, adding to the already challenging job of monitoring those who relocate to Ottawa. “Our best monitoring is a phone call every now and then, maybe a door knock here and there, but really it’s not like they’re being followed around or anything,” said Reynolds. “We don’t have the resources or the ability to do that.” LEADING THE WAY

CoSA is making serious inroads in ensuring there are no more victims. Canada is, in fact, internationally regarded as the founder of the CoSA model, which has been emulated by several nations, including the United Kingdom, the United States, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain and Ireland. South Korea launched its program in August. “This is a made-in-Canada solution,” said clinical and forensic psychological consultant Robin Wilson, who, as Correctional Service Canada’s first community based sex offender specialist hired in 1992, helped form the first Canadian Circle in 1994 around repeat child molester Charlie Taylor. Though there was a 100 per cent chance Taylor would reoffend within seven years of his release, he never did in 12 years of freedom before his death in 2006 – similar to Budreo’s case. Their Circles are largely credited with those successes. Continued on page 62

What the experts say

“The people who are lower risk get all the resources and the people that were too dangerous to be released on parole get nothing.”

“The Circles model is growing in the U.S. With each passing month we get more calls for further support for Circle startups.”

“Taking away support from the highest-risk people is the most dangerous thing you can do because they are the ones most likely to reoffend.”

“I also believe that not properly funding CoSA is shortsighted and will mean helping fewer offenders, which possibly means more victims.”

of sex offenders were made in Canada in the late 1980s, followed by the introduction of training for parole officers in sexual offender risk management. This led to improved treatment, supervision and a reduction in reoffence rates, Wilson said. But experts have watched over the years as program delivery officers have been replacing psychologists in the treatment of incarcerated sex offenders, who, Wilson said, are functionally equivalent to guards. In response, Correctional Service Canada spokeswoman Véronique Rioux said the department’s programs differ from counselling and psychotherapy and are delivered by “specifically trained” correctional programs officers to groups of inmates, serving as structured interventions that target factors linked to criminal behaviour. These programs are based on

tors every day for several hours over the course of eight months. But when he was sent back to jail for breaching his conditions he could only see the psychologist three times in eight months because other higher-needs prisoners came first. “Mine wasn’t a high need,” he said, but added while he wanted to see a specialist every two weeks, there were only a handful of psychologists for all 600 inmates. “I knew I’d done something wrong and I wanted to know where I went wrong,” David said. Three visits in eight months is not sexual offender treatment, according to Wilson. “That would be like taking an aspirin three times over the course of a month and thinking that it’s going to deal with your (chronic) headache,” he said, adding that such inconsistent support is unlikely to manage the problem long term or lead to lasting change. In addition, Wilson said there has been a push in the last five to seven years for prisons to provide less specialized programming to a larger swath of inmates. “But in a generic program there will be aspects that don’t apply to one group or more, such as sex offenders,” Wilson said. Federoff also notes that federal prisons no longer offer treatment for low-risk sex offenders – which the correctional service confirmed was stopped in 2010 based on research showing they benefit more from other interventions than correctional programs. Meanwhile, those at a high risk to reoffend often cannot access sex-of-

Studies reveal that 15 per cent of sex offenders will sexually reoffend within five years after getting out of prison. Interesting new research shows the likelihood of even highrisk offenders reoffending drops every year they don’t commit another crime, Federoff said. CoSA plays an important role in ensuring former offenders live crimefree, which caught the attention of several American states, where Wilson is providing training and technical assistance in the creation of Circle programs. “The Circles model is growing in the U.S. With each passing month we get more calls for further support for Circle startups,” said Wilson, who also served as chief psychologist for the correctional service’s Ontario region from 2001 to 2005. “Yet, in Canada, where it is our idea in the first place and where we seem to have done quite well with it, we’re continually fighting with the government for continued existence funding.” While the U.S. is embracing CoSA and other community based solutions, Canada is moving away from rehabilitation to an expensive tough-on-crime model that focuses on incarceration, tougher sentencing and elimination of statutory release, said Wilson. “Right-wing people in the United States are advising the federal government in Canada, ‘Don’t go that route. We went that route. It cost us a ton of money. It’s not working,’” he said, adding that research shows more punishment in most cases results in more crime. Positive inroads in the treatment

cognitive-behavioural strategies and skills that teach participants to learn how to deal with those risk factors that led them to offending, Rioux said, noting the department also employs teams of mental-health professionals, including nurses, psychologists and social workers, to work alongside correctional staff. While behind bars, David joined a group of sex offenders who met daily with a psychologist and two facilita-

fender treatment until the tail end of their sentence, Federoff said. “I think prisons are excellent for isolating people who are dangerous and for punishing, but they are terrible for treatment,” he said. Community based treatment, such as that offered through Federoff’s outpatient clinic at the Royal, also helps reduce reoffending. Studies show those offenders who complete treatment will reoffend about 40 per cent less than those who haven’t. Some victims may resent offenders getting such support since not enough is spent on victim services, said Steve Sullivan, executive director of Ottawa Victim Services, but he understands the important role CoSA plays in protecting more people. “I also believe that not properly funding CoSA is short-sighted and will mean helping fewer offenders, which possibly means more victims,” he said. “So, from a policy perspective, even if some victims are opposed, the federal government should be funding programs that prevent victims.” David, who is grateful for his second chance, credits CoSA and halfway house staff with helping him refresh the coping strategies and other tools he learned in prison. “I had dysfunctional relationships in the past and I think I would have had those again if I didn’t have the support I did,” he said. “I would have got into another relationship and back into drugs and then maybe, perhaps – that’s the cycle – I end up eventually reoffending.” Despite breaching his conditions and going back to prison, he says he knows the value of having people in

his life with whom he can share his thoughts and feelings – a new skill he learned in prison. “I know I didn’t have them before and I offended, and the chances would have been higher for me of reoffending again if I didn’t have that, I think,” he said. That is why, without CoSA, or faced with a scaled-back version of the program, the community should be very concerned, Federoff said. “I think that society should look forward to more offences,” he said. “Taking away support from the highest-risk people is the most dangerous thing you can do because they are the ones most likely to reoffend.”

“Providing innovative addiction treatment to those who want to quit smoking is a proactive approach, and helps prevent health complications and hospital visits down the road. “The smoking-cessation program is a wonderful addition to the important services that Mackay Manor provides,” Yakabuski said.

“Importantly, it aligns with our vision of healthy people and healthy communities supported by a quality, accessible health system.,” she says. “Smoking, like any other addiction, poses significant risks to one’s health and well-being,” says Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski.

regular breathing tests that indicate whether cigarettes have been smoked (through measured carbon monoxide levels). The Champlain LHIN provided roughly $40,000 to this program in 2013-14. Success rates are better for clients when they stop all addictive substances at once, Tom says, and Mackay Manor has seen a positive impact as a result of its new care model. In fact, since the program began, 45 of 49 enrolled smokers were able to stay smoke-free while under residential care at Mackay Manor. Nick Liedtke, 25, a former smoker, was one of those clients. Tobacco was his first addiction, and “one of the hardest,” he says. Right from the start, he agreed with Mackay Manor’s approach to tobacco use. “I wanted to change my life. This time it was a different feeling. I had more motivation. I was focused on the treatment, not when the next cigarette break would be,” Liedtke says. Now Nick goes to the gym every day. He doesn’t like the smell of cigarettes or even the thought of smoking. He’s part of a smoking-cessation study conducted by the Centre of Addiction and Mental Health, and wanted to share his story publicly to inspire others struggling with tobacco addiction.

News - A residential recovery home for men with alcohol and other drugrelated problems in Renfrew County is leading the way in smoking cessation, helping clients to be free from all addictions, including tobacco. Since the spring of 2013, Mackay Manor has embraced a new approach in which smoking is treated like any other addiction. Clients and staff are given the supports they need to go smoke-free. This is an innovative approach because tobacco use, historically, has been ignored among people treating substance use issues. “Tobacco-related illness is the leading cause of death among mental health and addictions clients, so it’s unbelievable that tobacco use wasn’t being addressed in the past,” explains Tom Carroll, executive director of Mackay Manor who quit smoking a decade ago. “Cigarettes were seen as a coping mechanism, a crutch, a pacifier. But that mindset is changing. We should be offering full recovery – true freedom, not using any unhealthy coping mechanisms, tobacco included,” says Carroll. Various tobacco-recovery supports are given to residential clients and agency staff at the 16-bed centre in the town of Renfrew, including specialized workshops, group sessions, nicotine replacement therapy, and

News - When was the last time you tested the smoke alarms in your home? Was it last week? Last month? A year ago? If you’re like many people, you may not even remember. Smoke alarms have become such a common feature of Canadian households that they’re often taken for granted, and aren’t tested and maintained as they should. However, working smoke alarms are a critical fire safety tool that can mean the difference between life and death in a home fire. According to the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), smoke alarms can cut the chance of dying in a home fire in half. Meanwhile, NFPA data shows that home fires killed more than 2,300 people in 2012; many of these deaths could have been prevented with the proper smoke alarm protection. As a member of the fire service for 30 years, I’ve seen the devastating effects of fire first-hand; the burn injuries, the loss of homes and possessions are distressing. What’s even worse is witnessing a family’s anguish after a loved one has been killed in a fire. It’s heartbreaking. As the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 5-11, 2014, NFPA is promoting “Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives: Test Yours Every Month!” to better educate the public about the true value of working smoke alarms. In support of these efforts, the Renfrew Fire Department will be hosting

local campaign activities throughout the week. Some of these activities include, hosting nearly 500 students at the Renfrew Fire Department, fire drills at various locations, Fire Code compliance inspections, and safety seminars will be held throughout the week. My sincere hope is that all Renfrew residents participate in one or more of our Fire Prevention Week activities, and make sure there are working smoke alarms installed throughout their homes. These simple steps can help make a life-saving difference, and prevent the potentially life-threatening impact of fire. Here are additional smoke alarm tips to follow: • Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement. • Interconnect all smoke alarms throughout the home. When one sounds, they all sound. • Test alarms each month by pushing the test button. • Replace all smoke alarms, including alarms that use 10-year batteries and hard-wired alarms, when they are 10 years old or sooner if they do not respond properly. • Make sure everyone in the home knows the sound and understands what to do when they hear the smoke alarm. For further information on smoke alarms or any other fire safety concern you may have, please feel free to contact the Renfrew Fire Department at 613-432-2811.

Lifestyle - As we trade the long, hazy days of summer and get settled in our busy, daily routines, whether it’s getting the kids off to school, enrolling in that course, packing up the cottage or enjoying those glorious bursts of colour as the trees begin to get ready for the long, shadows of winter, this autumn is a very special time to give thanks for all we have and to reflect on the many who have gone before us in the name of the freedom we enjoy. 2014 marks the 100th anniversary of the First World War and the 75th anniversary of the Second

World War. 67,000 Canadians were killed and 250,000 wounded during World War I, and more than 45,000 died and another 54,000 were wounded during World War II. WWI,WWII, the Korean War in which more than 500 lost their lives, and the 30 plus peacekeeping missions including Afghanistan since then, have cemented Canada’s reputation as a nation that places common good first, offering hope, freedom and refuge in a democracy. As you read this, more Canadians are being deployed. International Day of Peace on Sept. 21 gave the the opportunity to reflect on our freedom and the role

Oneness-Guatemala founders Susan and Richard Schmaltz, with some of the children that Oneness supports. MARIELLA LOPEZ/SUBMITTED

From the Ottawa Valley to Guatemala with care and compassion Wayne Moyle Circle of Oneness

Community - It was in 1999 that Richard Schmaltz, former school principal with the Renfrew County District School Board, and his wife Susan, an early childhood education instructor at Algonquin College, felt called to take early retirement to work with the poor of Guatemala. The desire to serve prompted them to sell their comfortable home in Pembroke and move to Guatemala, a beautiful Central American country with an underbelly of extreme poverty and some of the most deplorable living conditions in the world. In the first two years Rich-

ard led teams to build homes for poor families, while Susan set up preschools and trained teachers. In the evenings, they would make up to 75 lunches a night and walk the dangerous streets to feed the homeless. “It was the hopelessness we saw in their eyes that kept us going” recalls Susan. They soon realized that a few sandwiches, though very welcomed by those with empty stomachs, was not changing their day-to-day circumstances, or improving their chances of escaping their cycle of poverty. They knew that the only way they could seriously impact the future of the children and the country was through education.

In 2005 they were recruited by Hanley Denning, the dedicated founder of Safe Passage, an organization working with the poorest of the poor at the Guatemala City Dump. In the hope of convincing them to set up a quality preschool for Safe Passage, Hanley took them to a bluff high above the Guatemala City dump where they observed hundreds of men, women and children methodically sifting through the mounds of garbage for anything they could use or sell to support their meagre existence. Moved to tears by the horrific scene, the couple knew immediately that they could not turn their backs on these families.

Partnering with Safe Passage, Richard and Susan established a daycare program on land adjacent to the dump. They focussed the learning not on copying, rote learning and memorization, which is common in Guatemalan schools, but on child-centred, activity-based learning that developed critical thinking skills. The first class they established blossomed, and so the Schmaltzes recruited work teams. With strong Ottawa Valley support, especially from volunteers in Pembroke, Petawawa, Cobden, Deep River and Barry’s Bay areas, teams traveled to Guatemala to build classroom furniture and bring

learning materials. Today there are over 300 students in 22 classrooms at seven Guatemalan sites in urban centres, as well as in remote mountain villages. All these endeavours are supported by Oneness Through Service-Guatemala, the charitable organization founded by Richard and Susan. In 2013 the Guatemalan ECE Teachers Association that Oneness started four years ago became an official Guatemalan NGO. The Planting Seeds methodology designed by Susan, is now accredited by the Guatemalan Ministry of Education. Would you like to help? Plan to attend the fall fundraising event – Living The

Dream: The Story of a 15 Year Mission Serving the Poor of Guatemala Saturday, Sept. 27 at the Miramichi Lodge Auditorium, 725 Pembroke St. W., Pembroke from 7 to 9:30 p.m. There will be tea, coffee and dessert. The $20 tickets, to be purchased in advance, are available at Goldstream Jewellers in downtown Pembroke, Cobden Home Hardware and in Deep River from Joan Gentili 613-584-4045. All proceeds go to the Planting Seeds Educational Project in Guatemala.

Sheepdogs drummer talks green energy at Kitchissippi Festival Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News – The up-and-coming Canadian rock band, the Sheepdogs, are ‘Feeling Good’ about reducing their environmental impact. At a recent stop on their summer tour at the Kitchissippi Festival at Wilderness Tours Aug. 22, the Juno award-winning Saskatoon band highlighted its partnership with Bullfrog Power. Amidst a day of enjoying some Ottawa Valley adventure by way of whitewater rafting and cliff jumping, the band’s drummer, Sam Corbett, talked to The Renfrew Mercury about the band’s decision to partner with Bullfrog. CLEAN ELECTRICITY

Throughout the summer, explained Corbett, the band’s concerts are being powered with clean, pollution-free electricity, because Bullfrog Power’s generators put 100 per cent green electricity onto the grid to match the power consumption of the shows. “We have big stages and use a lot of power so it’s cool,� said Corbett. “Part of being in a band, especially for summer festivals, is doing a lot of travelling and it’s not the greatest thing for

the environment so we’re very happy to do something that can chip away at our impact.� Across Canada, Bullfrog’s green electricity comes from a blend of wind and low-impact hydro power sourced from new Canadian renewable energy facilities. Corbett already uses Bullfrog’s green energy for his home so the decision was an easy one. There are many ways to be environmentally conscious, Corbett said. “It doesn’t have to be a big thing all the time it can be small things,� he said. “For example we’ll try to get a local beer on our rider. We won’t necessarily get something made in the States or Europe. That’s a way we can experience a bit of local culture but also reduce a bit of our impact as well.� While in Foresters Falls, the Sheepdogs enjoyed local brewery Whitewater Brewing Co. “We tried Whitewater and we really liked the IPA (India Pale Ale).� UP NEXT

It’s been a whirlwind few years for the Sheepdogs, who in 2011 appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. Along with Corbett, band members are

Leot Hanson, Ewan Currie and Ryan Gullen. “2011 was crazy busy and as soon as 2012 started we recorded an album and went right into another album cycle so the last six months before this summer was the first time we were able to take a bit of a break,� said Corbett. The band was set to play in P.E.I. the night following their Friday night Valley show so it was back to the hotel following the performance and up early for a flight Saturday. Summer touring has kept the guys pretty busy. “A lot of times in the summer, it’s nice ‘cause you have the week off in between, but you’re very busy on the weekends.� The guys did manage to get in a few local activities while here for the concert. “We went whitewater rafting – our boat flipped, did some cliff jumping. We had an awesome time,� said Corbett. And now that September has arrived, the Sheepdogs will get to work on recording their next album at a location near Peterborough. “We found a great place, a cabin right on the lake,� said Corbett. “So if you’re not recording a piece you can go for a swim.�

SHERRY HAAIMA/METROLAND

Sheepdogs drummer Sam Corbett, backstage at the Kitchissippi Festival Aug. 22 at Wilderness Tours near Foresters Falls, said the band is pleased to be reducing its environmental impact.

New Renfew County Queen of the Furrow Cailenn Bromley makes her mark in the soil at Afelskie’s farm at the 2014 Renfrew County Plowing Match. LUCY HASS/METROLAND

Dennis Murphy was at the Afelskie farm early Saturday, Sept. 13 to raise the flag for the Huckabone Garage Ltd. display as Stanley Stoppa looked on.

Results are in for the 2014 Renfrew County plowing match Lucy Hass lucy.hass@metroland.com

The results are in for another Renfrew County Plowing Match. Gabriel Lecavaliere won the horse one-furrow walking plow competition, a class that pays homage to the region’s rich agricultural heritage. Renfrew County Plowman’s Association president Myles England presented Lecavaliere with an award as the match’s oldest competitor, at 84 years old. The man, who had been participating in the county match for years, received a plaque with a wood-burned image of himself at the plow, created by local craftsman Ross Palmer. Second-place in the horse one-furrow walking plow category was Cec Andro of Boulter. There were three teams of horses at this year’s event. Top competitor in the horse one-furrow riding category was Lyle Kileen of Carp. In the antique tractor class, Gary McEwen of Carleton Place placed first, followed by Robert McPherson of Kanata. Winners of the tractor two-furrow class were on Stinson of Kemptville and former plowing judge Allen Hill of Ashton. The match at the Afelskies marked the 32nd organized

by the Renfrew County Plowmen’s Association and included more than 70 vendors, musicians, crafters and 4H participation that offered breakfast, a sheep-sheering demonstration and rabbit club display. The hosts of the 2014 match were the Afelskies – Sylvester and Anna May, Gerard and Bev, and Peter and Vikki.
