Council sticks to its guns Steve Newman Steve.newman@metroland.com

Renfrew council has settled a contentious issue involving apartment building residents at 167 Bruce St. Residents in the building that used to be Victoria School, until it was closed several years ago, asked council to reverse a decision that required fencing to remain between the building and property between Bruce and Elgin streets that is designated as park area. The land was conveyed to the Town of Renfrew by Sir Francis Hincks in 1854. A 1998 court agreement determined that the area not containing the former Victoria School, be maintained as a public square (or park). This area is commonly referred to as Block J. CHANCE TO RECONSIDER

Council recently requested that the basketball nets taken down during construction of the new Bruce Street apartments be returned to Block J. However, council agreed to reconsider its decision until it heard public delegations on the issue Sept. 24. Councilʼs decision was

supported by a motion passed April 10, 2012, and supported by another motion July 16, 2012. The July motion, to remove restrictions on the agreement signed between the town and the public school board, was defeated. “To go back on that, I would feel I was betraying a trust,” said Coun. Gail Cole, in support of councilʼs April decision. Cole said she sympathized with residents who were temporarily allowed to park at the west end of the building on property that actually extended into Block J. However, she said council had a responsibility to stick with its original decision and support the legalities (supporting the court agreement reached in 1998). Councilʼs decision was welcomed by several area residents, but not others. Most disappointed were those who were hoping to continue to use parking at the west side of the apartment building. That was made possible after McGrimmon took down nearby fencing and basketball standards to facilitate construction of the new apartment units last year. See STANDS FIRM, Page 5

Average residential assessment increase to be about 4.5 per cent in 2013 John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

Dockdogs show off their stuff at Avalon Ranch. – Page 31 –

Ontario homeowners will see the assessed value of their property increase by an average of 4.5 per cent in 2013. In a news release Tuesday, the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation reported that residential property

values have increased by an average of about 18 per cent across Ontario since 2008 when the last assessment update was delivered. Because of the four-year phase-in program, property owners will see an average assessment increase of 4.5 per cent each year for the next four years. “Our values reflect local

real estate markets and confirm that most homeowners in the province have seen the value of their homes increase over the last four years,” said Larry Hummel, MPACʼs chief assessor. MPAC reports that as expected the largest assessment increases, from 20 to 30 per cent, are in Ottawa and the

Greater Toronto area. Perhaps surprisingly, assessments are also up above the average throughout northern Ontario, indicating improved economies in that area. The lowest increases are in the hard-hit manufacturing areas of southwestern Ontario and particularly the Niagara region, where they are 10 per

cent or less. The assessment figures indicate waterfront owners could be in for some relief. In a marked contrast from recent assessments, the value of waterfront properties have only gone up about 12 per cent in the last four years, below the residential average See ASSESSMENT, Page 2

However, the increase in farmland values has gone up signiďŹ cantly more than the average residential property, rising about 34 per cent in many areas in the last four years. MPACĘźs MarketSnapshot - Assessment Update Edition provides a more detailed analysis of the changes in values that have taken place across

the province. The report is available on MPACĘźs website at www.mpac.ca. MPAC points out a rise in assessment does not necessarily mean an increase in property taxes. If the assessed value of a home has increased by the same percentage or less than the average in the municipality, there might be no increase in the property taxes paid by a property taxpayer. MPAC will mail Property Assessment Notices to Ontar-

ioĘźs nearly ďŹ ve million property owners between now and November. Renfrew County residents will likely receive their notices near the end of the mailings. The assessed amount will reect the propertyĘźs value as of Jan. 1, 2012. As of that date, property in Ontario was assessed at $2 trillion, with residential making up $1.3 trillion of that. Local assessment changes will be announced prior to the

mailing of notices in each municipality over the next two months. “Our role is to accurately assess every property in Ontario,� said Hummel. “Property owners should ask themselves if they could have sold their property for its assessed value on Jan. 1, 2012. If the answer is yes, then their assessment is accurate. If not, we are committed to working with them to get it right.� Property owners can check

the accuracy of their assessment at www.aboutmyproperty.ca. This website allows owners to easily compare the value of their property to others in their neighbourhood and community. Registration information will be included with every notice mailed this fall. If property owners believe their assessment is not correct, they have the option of ďŹ ling a Request for Reconsidera-

tion and MPAC will review their assessment free of charge. Hours will be extended at each of MPACĘźs 33 local ofďŹ ces across the province during the notice mailing period this fall. Property owners can also call MPACĘźs Customer Contact Centre toll-free at 1-866296-MPAC (6722). The Renfrew County MPAC ofďŹ ce is located at 141 Lake St. in Pembroke.

From bush to mill: certification and chain of custody Lucy Hass lucy.hass@metroland.com

From the bush to the mill – how forest certification works. That was the theme of the 2012 Renfrew County Outdoor Woodlot Conference Saturday at Craig Appleyardʼs property on Ferguslea Road. During his morning address, Scott Davis of the Eastern Ontario Model Forest spoke about FCS certification and chain of custody. The FSC international logo can be found on most paper products, from envelopes to cardboard boxes. Davis explained how certification became an issue about 10 years ago when major retailers and consumers wanted to know where their wood products were coming from. The initial goal was to get 10 or 15 private woodlot owners accredited through a thirdparty certifier. What started as a pilot project involving 3,000 acres has grown into a major program comprised of three distinct landowner groups and 110,000 acres. “Renfrew County has the highest density of Crown, community and private land forests that are FCS certified in Canada – a pretty good accomplishment locally,” Davis said. He said there isnʼt a lot different, operationally, that happens on the ground, but FCS certification is “more a recognition of the good work you do.” That good work includes having a forest management plan, using certified tree markers and bills of lading, and ensuring all loggers have the necessary insurances and certificates. The owners of certified forests are also committed to protecting the broader natural environment. For example, if a hawk were nesting in a tree, a buffer area would be created around that tree. “Weʼre looking after more than just trees. There are other values in the forest,” he said. Davis said the FCS international logo is something people identify. “A number of the sawmills like Murray Bros. and Hokumʼs and Heidermanʼs and

Shawʼs all have what they call a chain of custody. And basically what that does is empower companies to take certified raw product, process it into a finished product and then sell it with a label that says itʼs third-party certified.” Itʼs a distinction many small operations canʼt afford, but the Eastern Ontario Model Forest is committed to helping small woodlot owners achieve certification through group application. “That wood, down the road, might be a little more attractive to local buyers,” Davis said.” He said the challenge of certification is that it can be expensive and there is more responsibility on the landowner. But properly-managed forests are important and wise woodlot owners are always looking to the future and the next cutting cycle. “I think, now, forest certification is an important part of driving the market for woodlots and Crown forests in Ontario,” he added. When Davis first researched

forestry around the world, he noted Canada was ranked 52nd in forest certification. Today, Canada is ranked number one. “Canada is, by far, the leader,” Davis said. In Ontario alone, there are about 10.5 million hectares of third-party certified forest. HERE TO STAY

The woodlot conference opened with comments by Woodlot Conference Committee chair John Stuart. “This is something thatʼs here to stay,” Stuart said of FSC certification in his welcoming address. He also noted how the conference moves around the county and encouraged people to make suggestions for future conference locations and topics. Admaston-Bromley Deputy Mayor Dirk Rook welcomed everyone to the event and praised the organizers.“We congratulate you. It takes a lot of volunteers,” he said. Craig Appleyard followed with a history of his 126-acre

of M.W. Miller Logging who donated their time to demonstrate the specialty equipment used in harvesting trees. The day also included a childrenʼs nature walk led by Renfrew County District School Board teacher Lyndsay Mask, displays by various equipment dealers, and Douglas horse logger Pat McIntyre of Douglas demonstrated oldfashioned skidding. Friscoʼs of Eganville served lunch. In the afternoon, Renfrew County forestry service manager Jeff Muzzi spoke on log

property on the Ferguslea Road, a portion of the former Neil Culhane tract. In 1980 Appleyard purchased the property that had been logged the previous 25 to 30 years, and in 1986 he planted red pine. David Stewart of David Stewart Forest Services led a tour of the Appleyard red pine plantation, which included a comparison of thinned versus unthinned forest. Tour participants also saw pine being harvested by Michael Ott and Matt Ludgate

scaling and gave an update on the emerald ash borer issue. County of Renfrew forester Lacey Rose spoke about drought and storm damage. Dean Johnson spoke about chain of custody. Over the lunch hour there was an Algonquin College Loggersports demonstration, displays and networking. There were afternoon tours of Ross Campbellʼs sawmill just up the road from the Appleyard property, and Scott Rubie displayed his homemade band saw.

It was a cool, windy morningn but Kidney Foundation Ambassador Austin May warmed hearts at Ma-Te-Way Park Sunday as he kicked off the ďŹ rst annual Kidney Walk. “This walk is our ďŹ rst of many to come and it is going to continue to grow,â€? predicted event organizer Craig Dunbar, “I set a goal of $2,000 and I know weĘźve already crushed that goal today. It looks like weĘźve probably doubled it,â€? he said to roaring applause. He, in return, applauded the efforts of all who showed up to walk and support the cause. “The moneyĘźs going to go to some great causes, to some patient support programs that the Kidney Foundation run sand, most importantly, going to research to ďŹ nd great treatments and to eventually ďŹ nd a cure,â€? he said.

Then 13-year-old Austin May shared his personal experience with dialysis three times a week at CHEO. “In February my life changed when I was diagnosed with renal kidney failure,â€? he explained. He described his medical treatment and how the Kidney Foundation helped with medication and a treated him and his family to special events “to forget our troubles for awhile.â€? “LetĘźs thank the Kidney Foundation for being a great organization,â€? he said. The runners, walkers and cyclists followed the Millennium Trail to The Renfrew Mercury and back where they were treated to refreshments. Funds raised from the event go to the Kidney Foundation of Canada. Area dialysis patients, transplant recipients, living donors, families, friends and renal professionals will converge on Renfrew as part of a large movement across the province, with more than 40 communities participating throughout

The chief lobbyist for most residents at 167 Bruce was David Mee. He addressed council Monday night and asked the temporary parking remain intact and that the basketball courts be housed elsewhere, on the same 167 Bruce St. property owned by McGrimmon. “ItĘźs not like weĘźre lobbying to move 40 or 50 cars ‌ WeĘźre not asking for anything major,â€? said Mee, pointing out that the closer parking access for many seniors living in the apartments would make their lives much easier, especially since several have heart, knee or hip ailments. Another resident at 167 Bruce is Bill Quigg, who also addressed council. He proposed donating his time to lead a fundraising campaign for $5,000 to $10,000 of park equipment “so the park would actually be utilized .. I think there should be some room there for compromise.â€? Afterwards Quigg said he understood councilĘźs position to match the legal site plan, but that his offer still stood. “We donĘźt need fences, we need cooperation for a better community,â€? he told The Mercury. “LetĘźs turn a ďŹ eld into a real park!â€? After hearing from residents Mee, Quigg, Marcella Cybulski, Diane Mulvihill and Simon Terry, council voted to uphold its earlier request to have the fencing and basketball nets replaced. This left no space for the temporary parking lot, but there remains space for parking at the north and south sides of the apartment building. Cybulski, a senior who lives at 167 Bruce, lobbied for the west-side parking accessibility. “I canĘźt see any harm in leaving the parking spots (where they are),â€? said Cybulski, who came to the microphone to speak with the help of a walker. “I donĘźt know what IĘźm going to do if I canĘźt park there.â€? She also said the basketball court was great when the school was there, but that the courts are hardly used anymore.

Moose on loose in McNab-Braeside

“Once youĘźre a senior, they might as well take you behind the barn and shoot you,â€? she said after councilĘźs decision Monday night. “IĘźm obviously very disappointed,â€? said Mee. “I was hoping for more consideration from council ‌ Moving those basketball nets is not going to cause hardship for anybody.â€? Mulvihill and Terry were on the other side, arguing for council to uphold its earlier decision to keep the basketball facility and fencing in place for recreational, safety and historical reasons. Mulvihill said the basketball facility should never have been taken down in the ďŹ rst place. Terry, who lives on nearby Albert Street, said the issue wasnĘźt really so much about parking as it was about the park.

John Carter John.carter@metroland.com

An unexpected visitor caused quite the sensation in McNab-Braeside last week. A young adult bull moose has been hanging out in the Campbell Drive area. But the male with a beard and small rack of antlers has also been seen along the Madawaska River in the Mill Ridge Estates area; that is unless there are two of them in the area. As is her normal routine, Donna Symington stepped outside her home at 1077 Campbell Dr. early Monday morning with her coffee. She enjoys watching the various bird and animal wildlife who grace her back yard, adjacent pasture and nearby gully with their presence. However, Monday was far from routine, because a bull moose, the size of an adult horse, came up from the gully and sauntered alongside the house. “He didnĘźt appear to be in any distress, and actually let me get close enough (me on the opposite side of the fence, of course) to take a few pictures,â€? she said. Three curious Charolais calves also noticed the moose and come over to meet their visitor, who decided retreat was his best option, although he didnĘźt leave the property. Symington managed to get the humorous interchange on video and now it is being watched by thousands on YouTube. When she returned from work in Renfrew, the bull moose was still ambling about the property, which is on the north side of Highway 17. But it is possible he was on the move throughout the day. While SymingtonĘźs husband said he was in the area most of Monday afternoon, the moose, or his twin, was spotted and photographed along the Madawaska River that afternoon in the Flat Rapids-Mill Ridge Road area, several kilometres south of the highway. “ItĘźs amazing that he would stroll to the Madawaska in the afternoon and return to the pasture for sunrise the following day rather than just ĘťmoosyingĘź on from there,â€? she said. “Of course, all bull moose of that age would have similarly

‘HAVE A PARK PEOPLE CAN USE’

“Instead of encouraging town council to make a parking lot, encourage town council to have a park that people can use ‌ The agreement is here, just stick to it, gentlemen.â€? “Some time along in the future, we may do something different, but weĘźre going to make a conscious decision in the best interests of the whole community,â€? said Mayor Bill Ringrose after the meeting. “IĘźm hoping the disappointed citizens in the Victoria suites (167 Bruce) will be able to get their message across to their landlord (McGrimmon), and that he will try to work to provide parking to the north and south side of the building that meets their expectations and their needs.â€? In the end, Terry said councilĘźs decision was the right one. However, he also said more needs to be done, to turn the open public space into a welcoming park for the neighbourhood. At present, the park is basically an open stretch of grass. The major exception is the basketball facility, which McGrimmon says he plans to resurrect within the next two weeks.

CRAIG CAMPBELL

A bull moose saunters through a yard along the Madawaska River off Mill Ridge Drive Monday afternoon, Sept. 17. developed body/antlers, etcetera – but the alternative of the coincidence of there being two in a neighbourhood that doesnĘźt see many, if any, moose would be just as amazing.â€? It turns out the moose was also seen the Saturday evening in the Russett Drive area. Symington said sheĘźs seen plenty of wildlife in her area, from wild turkeys and coyotes to pheasants and wolves, but never a moose before. But she remembers when one swam across the Ottawa River in the 1970s and caused a ruckus on the outskirts of Arnprior. ItĘźs possible this moose could also have come from the Quebec side, she said. She reported the moose was still on her property Tuesday morning (Sept. 18), pacing along the fence line toward the road, but each time a vehicle drove past he would retreat quickly further into the pasture. And he was still on her property Tuesday night. So far he hasnĘźt feasted on her garden, she noted. “I was worried about my cucumbers.â€? Symington said the moose was becoming a major attraction, as a large number of people have been driving by to take a look. At one point he was on Campbell Drive, forcing a passing car to come to a screeching halt. That caused him to return back to the haven of the gully and pasture. “Perhaps at some point today the road will be quiet enough for him to get where he wants ‌ where he is supposed to be – safely,â€? she surmised.

Members of the Ontario Secondary School TeachersĘź FederationĘźs District 28, Renfrew have voted in favour of a strike mandate. Ninety-ďŹ ve per cent of votes cast supported a strike mandate. Votes by the localĘźs four groups — generally categorized as ofďŹ ce managers, occasional teachers, early childhood educators and teachers — took place the last couple of weeks. The last of the votes occurred Sept. 17, following the passage of Bill 115 on Sept. 11. Among other things, the recently-passed bill freezes wages, sharply reduces the number of sick days, and gives the education minister (Laurel Broten) the right to intervene in collective bargaining. That right to intervene didnĘźt exist before and teachers are now “expressing their disappointment with what has gone on,â€? says OSSTF local 28 president Jeffrey Barber, who lives in Admaston-Bro-

mley Township. “ItĘźs not just an attack on all teachers, but on all workers in the province,â€? he told The Mercury. “ItĘźs unprecedented powers that are unnecessary. “We can sit down and talk and negotiate. ThatĘźs how we teach students to ďŹ gure things out. Some teachers say this is a good case of bullying (by the government),â€? said Barber. He also said “creative solutionsâ€? can still be found that are satisfactory to both teachers and the government. Some members of the public say teachers are opposed to wage freezes, but thatĘźs not necessarily so, says Barber. He says the OSSTF agreed with a wage freeze during negotiations with the provincial government last spring. The contract between OSSTF and the Renfrew and District Public School Board expired Aug. 31. The taking of a strike vote is a normal part of the legal process recognized by the Ontario Labour Relations Act, says a local OSSTF news release. In MondayĘźs release, OSSTF executive ofďŹ cer Cindy

Dubue said the strike vote “is part of the normal bargaining process as recognized under the Ontario Labour Relations Act. ItĘźs not about wanting a strike. It is about using our rights recognized by law to bargain a collective agreement with the employer.â€? Asked how many districts have voted in favour of a strike mandate, she couldnĘźt say. But she said the vast majority are voting more than 80 or 90 per cent in favour of strike mandates. Barber said in the same release: “It is clear that our members are not happy with the antics of the Liberal Government and they have given their negotiating teams a deďŹ nitive mandate to ďŹ nd a solution to the problems created by Mr. McGuinty. “We are continuing to exercise our rights to bargain collectively under the Ontario Labour Relations Act. We have a positive and productive working relationship with our employer and we look forward to working with the Renfrew County District School Board to achieve agreements that work for both sides.

STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND

The dark side Renfrew director of development and works Mike Asselin held up a clear bottle of the town’s drinking water during Monday’s council meeting. Seconds later, after shaking the same bottle, it turned unpleasantly dark. Appearances are deceiving, said Asselin, who indicated this water is still totally healthy. He noted the very appearance of dirty water comes from the manganese sediment that has settled throughout the town’s 62 kilometres of water mains this summer because of the slower water flow and higher concentrations of manganese. In October, the town will flush all of the town’s water mains. The town will facilitate the process by using potassium permanganate. The oxidizing agent will concentrate the manganese into a solid, so it can be filtered away by the water treatment plant. The Bonnechere River’s manganese levels have dropped because of recent rainfall, but manganese remains in the pipes following the summer-long drought.

Looking to open dog park’s temporary site Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

The huge positive reaction to developing a dog park in Renfrew continues. The ideal location, said recreation director Barclay Mayhew during MondayĘźs council meeting, is on the Opeongo Road side of MaTe-Way Park. However, efforts are underway to realize a temporary site to the west side of the softball and baseball diamonds, at the end of Belanger Road and next to the Millennium Trail.

Mayhew said the temporary site could be up and running this fall, as fundraising efforts continue. More than 100 dog owners have shown an interest in the dog park, where dogs would be allowed to run free, without a leash, in a large grassy, enclosed area. “The people involved are willing to anywhere to start,� Mayhew told council. “The group is eager to get going on the dog park.� Fundraising would go toward fencing and other dog park amenities.

ADMASTON-BROMLEY

peter.clark@metroland.com

Tax consultant Steve McLaughlin met with Admaston Bromley deputy clerk-treasurer Annette Louis April 5, 2012 to discuss the HST tax rebate available to municipalities on allowances and mileage. McLaughlin set out terms to assist township staff for the years 2008 to 2011 in recovering rebates on councilĘźs expense allowance, volunteer ďŹ reďŹ ghters allowance and mileage for staff and council. For his assistance, McLaughlin was compensated 40 per cent of the recovered funds received from the Receiver General for the fouryear period. Upon ďŹ ling for the corresponding rebate applications, the years 2008 to 2010 were subject to a GST/ HST audit to conďŹ rm that these amounts were not included in previous years applications. The Canada Revenue Agency approved the amounts applied for earlier this month with a small adjustment for the provincial amount claimed in 2010 as the HST only came into effect as of July 1, 2010. Admaston-BromleyĘźs total rebate for 2008 to 2011 is $14,509.92 less McLaughlinĘźs 40 per cent, which leaves a balance of $4,784.31 for general expenses and $3,921.65 for the Douglas Fire Department. Township staff will complete future remittances without assistance. “For 2012, weĘźll be able to do it ourselves,â€? Louis said of ďŹ ling for future HST tax rebates. This will allow the township to receive 100 per cent of the

rebate. About $5,000 will be available for recovery on an annual basis, $2,800 for general purposes and $2,200 for the Douglas Fire Department. PERFORMANCE MEASURES

Admaston-Bromley Council observed its performance measures Year 2011 report Thursday evening. Calculations are based on 1,369 households, a population of 2,844 people and a $266,710,606 property assessment. • Police services cost per person was $74.14. Based on the number of crimes committed, cases of violent crime was six per 1,000 persons, cases of property crime 12 per 1,000, cases of criminal code 19 per 1,000, and cases of youth crime 76 per 1,000. • Taxpayers contributed 77 cents per $1,000 for ďŹ re services. • Operating costs as a percentage of the total municipal costs was 13.2 per cent. The total operating costs for local government includes salaries, wages, employee beneďŹ ts, materials, contracted services, rents and ďŹ nancial expenses. • Operating costs for paved roadways came out to $926.23 per lane kilometre while unpaved roads were tabbed at $741.88 for each lane kilometre. Operation costs for winter control was $329.27 per lane kilometre. There are 663 lane kilometres in the municipal road system for Admaston-Bromley, and 579 are maintained in the winter. A lane kilometre is constituted as a single lane or one lane on a two-lane highway.

For example, the two-kilometre stretch of highway from Admaston Public School to the Stone Road ofďŹ ce would be four lane kilometres. A total of 77 per cent of paved lane kilometres were rated as good to very good. One hundred per cent of response met or exceeded locally determined road maintenance standards for all winter events. • Operating costs for solid waste material was $151.85 per household, and costs for recycling at $14.16 for each household. Twenty per cent of residential solid waste was diverted for recycling. “ThatĘźs whatĘźs coming to the gate,â€? said Mayor RayeAnne Briscoe. “Where can we improve?â€? • Seven new lots, blocks and/or units were approved within the entire community. All land designated for agricultural purposes was not redesigned for other uses during 2011. • Operation costs for recreation in 2011 was $14.27 per person. Recreation programs accumulated 785 hours while participant hours of recreation programs per 1,000 persons was 276 hours. “A lot of recreation isnĘźt counted because itĘźs voluntary,â€? noted Mayor Raye Anne Briscoe. • The public library in Douglas was used 22,956 times for an average of about eight times (8.072) per person. On the ďŹ nancial side, it computes to $9.71 for each person for the year, at a cost of $1.20 for each use. Electronics at the library were used 24 per cent of the time. “And the federal government says we donĘźt need

FIRE ALARMS

Coun. Robert Dick, chair of the Douglas ďŹ re committee, voiced to council that during a survey it was noted that a common ďŹ nding was batteries being pulled from ďŹ re alarms for other uses and people are generally unaware of small alarm regulations. Firemen conducting the survey would like to know who is going to pay for the smoke alarms and batteries installed along the way. Mayor Briscoe was quick to say this important issue will be looked after. “One way or another (weĘźll) have enough money and make sure itĘźs (batteries are) replaced. That is essential,â€?

OPINION

EDITORIAL

Today’s Youth ... Tomorrow’s Leaders honours Ontario’s finest Extraordinary young leaders – theyʼre all around us - in schools, at church and on sports teams. Sometimes itʼs easy to pick someone special from a crowd, while other times it may not be quite as obvious. Truth is, there are young people everywhere who are working hard at bettering their communities. Many may not even realize theyʼre making a difference. Itʼs time to recognize their dedication and nominate them for the 2012 Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Award. The Renfrew Mercury strongly supports the Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards here

in Renfrew, so we can provide recognition for such outstanding young people who continue to be fine examples of leaders in our community. The awards program is co-coordinated by the Ontario Community Newspapers Association (OCNA), of which we are a member, and sponsored by TD Bank Group and Direct Energy. Any Ontario resident ages six to 17 (must be at least six years but no older than 17 years by Nov. 30, 2012) is eligible to be chosen as an Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year. Please help us by nominating an individual in one of

four areas: • A person involved in worthwhile community service. • A special young person contributing to their community while living with a physical or psychological limitation. • An individual who has performed an act of heroism in the past year. • Good kids who show a commitment to make life better for others and do more than is normally expected of someone their age. Up to 12 nominees will be chosen as the final recipients of the provincial Award and will

be invited to a special ceremony held in the Spring of 2013. Nominate a deserving young person today, and we will personally present them with a certificate of recognition and showcase their contributions in this newspaper. Help us pay tribute to our leaders of today and tomorrow. Nomination deadline for the 2012 Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards is November 30. Nomination forms are available at www. ocna.org/iuniorcitizen or by calling OCNA at 905-639-8720 ext 239.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Who’s in your wallet? To the editor: The best part of getting a pay cheque is choosing what youʼre going to spend it on after the government takes its chunk out of your cheque. Liberal-minded socialists would like to let the government make most of our choices so we end up paying for foolish ideas like useless windmills, helicopters, unneeded smart meters, bloated bureaucracies ,ʻartʼ that weʼll never see (thank God) and the dreaded CBC. Socialists might enjoy watching CBC promote its ideology but for the vast majority of us who never watch them, itʼs another large part out of our pay cheque for another unionized propaganda vehicle. Public television and all the other TV broadcasters are able to function and even make a profit without state funds but the CBC is at the public trough every year for a whopping $1.1 billion so they can pay their employees outrageous salaries and benefits and support a fleet

of 728 vehicles. Thatʼs 1,100 times $1 million each year or about $130 for each family in Canada! Our MP Cheryl Gallant and the Conservatives finally passed legislation that would allow cable and satellite TV services to give us choice by allowing us to choose the channels we want instead of having to buy packages of programs that we donʼt want. I t will be interesting to see how many people are willing to pay extra for the CBC. The CBC is a non-essential service especially with so many other services available today. Certainly let the state broadcaster continue and give them a couple of million dollars each year to offer a radio service but let the people who seem to love CBC TV programs so much pay for them instead of ripping it out of our salaries every payday.

Thanks for service to cemetery

SUBMITTED BY DAVID BROWN

A gravestone cleaned by Jim Stears.

To the editor: A well-informed lady, at the rededication ceremony at the Martin cemetery in Horton Township, indicated that during her early years a pile of gravestones were put in the middle of the cemetery and then later disappeared. What happened to them? Does anyone know? Jim Stears did a nice job recently, cleaning the stones. You can see the difference between the top and the bottom that was cleaned and now I can read them for the first time in decades. Thank you, Jim Stears. I would also like to thank all those that helped Robert Johnston, Dave Bennett, Jim Martin, Norm Eady and Andy Kluke. They all provided sweat and they are the salt of the earth. Thank you.

Web Poll POLL RESULTS

A)

The owners. Hockey is flourishing and why shouldn’t the players get a significant share. Fans come to see 50% them, not the owners.

B)

The players. They are well paid and they should compromise to ensure owners make a decent return on their investment.

C) A pox on both their houses. If

50%

they really cared for the fans, this dispute would have been settled long ago. It’s time Canadians spent more time and money on movies, music and medita- 0% tion and less on hockey.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION

Which side is to blame for the National Hockey League lockout?

A recent poll showed the NDP running neckand-neck with the PCs in Ontario, with the Liberals slumping to third. How does that make you feel?

A) Yikes. Scares the hell out of me. The last thing we need is the socialists taking over. Remember Rae Days.

B) Hurray. It’s about time voters gave the NDP a chance. The two old-line parties have outworn their welcome.

C)

It’s just a mid-term glitch. Ontario’s too Conservative to vote in an NDP government. They won’t be lulled into a repeat of 1990.

D)

Who cares. If I want to see hockey, I’ll check out the junior B action. At least those players are doing it for 0% the love of the game, not the money.

People need to forget about the traditional parties and give the Greens a chance to revolutionize politics in this province and country.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Response to letter on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation cutbacks To the editor: Re: Not Being Mindful of Reality, by H. Wm. Tuck, 23 Aug. 2012 Mr. Tuck asks Mr. Parchelo to offer solutions. But I wonder whether Mr. Tuck would be open to any ideas that would actually be effective since he is so clearly enamoured of the ʻbelt-tighteningʼ programs being imposed, worldwide, by the ʻhavesʼ upon the ʻhave notsʼ. I am not swallowing the austerity party line that our MPs and the likes of Mr. Tuck have apparently devoured whole. Everywhere, I see the basic concepts of Economics 101

in action: Spending cutbacks and layoffs lead to loss of income, which leads to more spending cutbacks and layoffs, which lead to more loss of income, and on and on. The proof is all around us if one bothers to look. For decades, I have been observing that privatization of public services is always excused by claiming it will cut costs to taxpayers and improve services. The reality that is always swept under the rug is that such privatization inevitably causes escalating costs and deteriorating services, with

Right to one’s own opinion To the editor: Re: Not being mindful of reality, by H. Wm. Tuck, Aug. 23, 2012 Mr. Tuck calls Mr. Parcheloʼs previous letter “quite insulting to our MP and other residents.” He subsequently, and insultingly, accuses Mr. Parchelo of “delusional teenage drama.” Then, Mr. Tuck insults the Canadian public by telling us what we are aware of and claiming to know the thoughts and opinions of millions of us. In particular, he claims that many of us believe as he does. Iʼd like to see the proof of that. As if these insults were not enough, he implies that his personal tastes in music and literature are superior, and proposes that we taxpayers should fund what he likes and nothing else. Mr. Tuck has a right to his own opinion. He does not have the right to tell the rest of us ours. He does not have the right to demand funding for his own preferences while denying funding to those who prefer something else. And he certainly has no right to complain that others speak insultingly when his own letter is riddled with insulting remarks. Michel Gregoire Renfrew

the bonus of a loss of jobs. Private corporations donʼt do anything better; they just do it with fewer employees, less regulation and less accountability. And they expect handouts and tax breaks from the governments to which they already pay little or no tax. At least the CBC is supposed to operate on the taxpayer dime, unlike the corporate moochers — a reality Mr. Tuck manages to ignore. Another reality Mr. Tuck is ignoring is that the CBCʼs present form is a direct result of the policies of the government of this country and of

the cutbacks and limitations imposed by that government. Further, he sidesteps the fact that the CBC has, when properly funded, employed large numbers of people, given many talented Canadians the opportunity to express their abilities, provided a Canadian perspective in both news and entertainment, and given this country a much-need cultural grounding. The Internet and corporate media may flood the world with what passes for news and entertainment these days, but what passes for news and entertainment these days is the best

possible justification for keeping and upgrading the CBC. Instead of cutting back the CBC yet again, the government should restore its funding and mandate, and its technology complete with analog as well as digital signals. Economics 101: Spending begets incomes because a spiral toward prosperity will increase and expand. Every unsuccessful economy rife with poverty and bankruptcy is built on austerity.

An attack on Canadian hunting heritage

To the editor: Safari Club International – Canada (SCI-Canada) is incredulous to learn that the Canadian network Global Television, a division of Shaw Media, has decided to stop airing all hunting shows. This sudden decision ended popular programs such as Canada in the Rough, Hunt TV, and Canadian Tradition. SCI-Canada urges Global Television/ Shaw Media to reconsider this ill-conceived decision, and return all hunting programs to their rightful place on national television. Global Television has conceded that over a million viewers tune in to the Ca-

nadian block of outdoor shows, making its decision even more blatantly antihunting. The move by Global Television is not a sound business decision because Canadaʼs two million hunters can easily be reached by advertisers through these programs. Canada in the Rough, Canadian Tradition, as well as other similar programs, promote the safe and ethical pursuit of our heritage sport. Global Televisionʼs decision takes no account of the very important contribution made by Canadaʼs hunting/conservation community to the Canadian

economy. It takes no account of the extremely important contribution made to conservation and outdoor education by these programs and by our community. In fact, this action is a serious attack not only on the Canadian hunting and conservation community, but on our freedoms of speech and of expression. Again, SCI-Canada urges Global Television/Shaw Media to reconsider this ill-conceived decision, and requests that all hunting programs be returned to their regularly scheduled production.

Dustin Garron named finalist in Faces of Mental Illness campaign Kalene Tilson Faces of Mental Illness Organizing Committee

Dustin Garron, a Carleton University student and founder of The Mental Health Project for Youth from Renfrew, has been chosen as one of the five Faces of Mental Illness for 2012. The Faces of Mental Illness campaign, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary, is an initiative of the Canadian Alliance on Mental Illness and Mental Health (CAMIMH), and aims to get people talking about mental illness and the importance of mental health for all Canadians. “Our Faces represent the importance of proper diagnosis and access to effective mental health services for recovery from mental illness. We are grateful to them for allowing their courageous stories to inspire millions of Canadians,” stated Dr. Karen Cohen, chair of Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW) 2012. “With one in five Canadians experiencing a mental illness in a given year, CAMIMHʼs Faces are our faces. By sharing their stories of recovery, these five people are helping significantly to advance the mental health agenda for Canada,” she said. Dustin Garron tells his story this way. Having just celebrated his 18th birthday, Dustin is no stranger to the often-turbulent nature of the adolescent years and was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, depression, and borderline personality disorder at a young age. After six failed suicide attempts, his seventh attempt resulted in a coma and being placed on life support for four days. Dustinʼs miraculous recovery inspired him to seek help, and it was during his stay at the Childrenʼs Hospital of Eastern Ontario that Dustin came up with the idea for The Mental Health Project for Youth. The Mental Health Project for Youth is a not-for-profit organization run by youth, for youth, and offers peer support and services to residents ages 12 to 21. “I want to empower young Canadians and let them know they are not alone,” stated Dustin. “That is why I started The Mental Health Project for Youth – to help those who are struggling find the strength to fight.” Throughout the year, the Faces will take part in various initiatives to deliver the mes-

sage that recovery is possible. Sponsored by Bell as part of the Bell Letʼs Talk mental health initiative, the Faces of Mental Illness campaign consists of the following elements: a marquee event on Parliament Hill; a special feature in national public service announcements aired across Canada; and participation in a national media outreach campaign to tell their stories and carry on the vital mental health conversation in this country. The Faces of Mental Illness and MIAW campaigns would not be possible without the support of our generous sponsors: Bell, RBC Foundation, RX&D, and Janssen. To find out more about the Faces of Mental Illness or Mental Illness Awareness Week, please visit www. camimh.ca.

Professor to speak to students, parents

Dr. Tracy Vaillancourt, Canada Research Chair in Childrenʼs Mental Health and Violence Prevention at the University of Ottawa in the Faculty of Education and the School of Psychology, will be speaking to high school students, as well as the public, at the St. Josephʼs Catholic High School auditorium Thursday, Oct. 25. She is also an adjunct professor in the Department of Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour at McMaster University and a core member of the Offord Centre for Child Studies. Dr. Vaillancourt will be speaking to Grade 9 and 10 students from Renfrew Collegiate, Opeongo High School and St. Josephʼs at noon, and again to parents during an open information session at 6:30 p.m. “Dr. Vaillancourt was here before. She is

good,” said Jeff Scott of the Renfrew Police Services Board. “Sheʼll be speaking to the kids at noon, and to the parents in the evening. It would be good for families and parents to come and listen to her.” Dr. Vaillancourtʼs research examines the links between aggression and bio-psychosocial functioning and mental health, with particular focus on bully-victim relations. Dr. Vaillancourt is currently leading a Community University Research Alliance on the prevention and intervention of bullying which is funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. The event is sponsored by the Renfrew OPP and Renfrew Police Services Board.

Founded in 1990, JACC is a registered Canadian charity that is unique in the childrenʼs charity sector for four important reasons. It is not illness or disease specific, assists children from birth to 21 years of age, fills the gap where other charities leave off, and acts as a safety net for Ontario children when all other resources have been exhausted. The Jennifer Ashleigh Childrenʼs Charity is one of 28 provincial charities, as well as numerous local ones, that will benefit from LCBOʼs donation boxes.

The public can help seriously ill children in their communities by making a donation at any of the more than 620 LCBO stores throughout Ontario. Donation boxes for the Jennifer Ashleigh Childrenʼs Charity (JACC) will be displayed at LCBO checkouts until Oct. 13. Funds raised through the program will be used to assist seriously ill children in communities across Ontario with expenses surrounding their illnesses and necessities of life. JACCʼs mission is improving the quality of life for seriously ill children and their families ʻwhen love is not enoughʼ. “Iʼll never forget how it felt to sit for hours beside my babyʼs isolette in the hospitalʼs newborn intensive care unit.” said Zoëʼs mom.

Lloyd and Shirley Eady pass a $4,000 cheque to Barb Desilets of the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Foundation for RVH’s new dialysis unit. The proceeds come from the Renfrew company’s recent golf tournament.

Sunshine Coach administrator Norm Dagg, left, and Scott and Sons Hardware owner Jeff Scott stand by the scale that will be on site at the Oct. 21 Sunshine Coach Reach for the Rainbow Telethon to weigh the coins collected in the Kilos for Coins jars. only increase in the years to come.” All funds collected during the Reach For The Rainbow Telethon go directly to support the operations of the Sunshine Coach Service who, since 1985, have been pro-

tion for people who are living with disabilities. “If the government doesnʼt want your pennies, bring them to us. Weʼll put them to good use.”

Take the family to Ma-Te-Way Park and enjoy Sports Day in Canada this Saturday, Sept. 29 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Thereʼs no mistaking the strong link between Lloyd Eadyʼs family and the decision to make a healthy donation to the Renfrew Victoria Hospitalʼs dialysis unit. The current unit consists of 14 dialysis treatment stations, but that number will jump to 20 as part of the hospitalʼs new nephrology centre, whose construction should start in 2013. Lloyd and Shirley Eady, owners of Lloyd Eady Construction & Sons, recently hosted the Renfrew companyʼs inaugural golf tournament to raise funds for the dialysis unit. Response to the Sept. 14 event at Renfrewʼs Dragonfly Golf Links was very positive, including the decision of the top two teams to forego a sudden-death playoff to determine the winner of the $100 top prize. The teams donated the winnings, while draw winners also returned their earnings to the organizers, to bring the entire donation to $4,000. “They all came in smiling and laughing. They had a really good time,” said Shirley. “My father was on a dialysis machine in 1971,” said Lloyd of his dad, James H. Eady, who died the same year he underwent dialysis treatment at the Ottawa Civic Hospital. At the time, there was no dialysis treatment at RVH. In fact, there wasnʼt hospital-based dialysis in Renfrew until 1993. Looking back over those treatments more than an hour from home, Lloyd says the experience left his family with an appreciation of the value of healthcare close to home. His father died at the young age of 51, af-

ter experiencing kidney illness since he was a youngster. “At the time, we had to drive back and forth,” recalls Lloyd. “Itʼs much less stressful on patients and their families when they can stay in the community for treatment. It was an easy decision to support the dialysis unit at RVH.” The call to lend support appears to be a family trait. Lloyd is also the nephew of Norm Eady, a long-time supporter of the hospitalʼs dialysis unit through the Loyal Orange Lodgeʼs Bowl for Health and Fund Tournament organized for years. The Eadys says the tournament will likely take place again next year, but probably in early summer. “I think itʼs really huge in todayʼs saturated philanthropic landscape,” said RVH Foundation director of development Barb Desilets of the $4,000 donation. Call to Action information sheets from RVH also went in each golf cart to remind participants about the role of dialysis treatments in patientsʼ lives. The hospitalʼs Call to Action educational awareness campaign promotes the motto of Learn, Know, Act through community communication. On the tournamentʼs Care to Action sheet, it was noted that every dialysis patient requires treatment three times a week, for the rest of their life (or until they receive a donated kidney). The sheet also noted about 17,000 dialysis treatments take place each year at RVH. “Weʼre always so grateful for the support we receive,” said Desilets, “but this is just another example of awareness being raised through another group taking action.” R0021641085

The annual campaign in support of Sunshine Coach called Kilos of Coins is aimed at the young and the young at heart and launches on Monday, Oct. 1. The goal is to encourage everyone to donate their spare change and help build as many kilos of coins as possible. Schools, businesses and individuals are invited to bring their coins and “weigh in” at the Reach For The Rainbow Telethon which will be taking place on Sunday, Oct. 21 in the Grant Gymnasium at Renfrew Collegiate between 2 and 8 p.m. There will be an industrial weigh scale set up at the Telethon and as many presenters as possible will be featured live during the broadcast. Local schools are being provided with distinctive collection cans to assist in gathering coins among their student bodies and judging from past years the response will be enthusiastic. Many local businesses will be supporting the campaign by placing collection cans in prominent locations on their counters. “Community support has historically been critical to the success of Sunshine Coach and the Kilos of Coins campaign is an opportunity for us to reach out and engage people young and old in assisting us to ensure that this service remains available to everyone in our community who needs it,” says Sunshine Coach administrator Norm Dagg. “The need for this service has grown steadily in Renfrew and area for nearly

Community responds to Red Cross Members of the Renfrew County board council of the Canadian Red Cross say thank you to the cashiers for their part in Wal-Mart’s collection of $9,200 in August for the Red Cross disaster management program. The money represented 160 per cent of the local goal. The money provides assistance for large-scale emergencies and short-term, personal disasters. “I’m sure the donations were facilitated by the highlighted awareness of the damage caused by the big storm in the Calabogie area July 23,” said White Lake resident Rob Jennings, a member of the local board council of the Canadian Red Cross. From left, in the front row, are Wal-Mart employees Krissy Frood, Colleen Elliott, Louise St. Laurent, Glenyce Renaud and Catherine Peer; back row, store manager Cory Allan, Arnprior residents Katherine Miller-Gatenby and Lisa Falls of the Red Cross’s local board council, and Susan Siroski.

Following a meeting of the County of Renfrew/ Ministry of Natural Resources Water Response Team, it was noted that the County of Renfrew is still in a Level 2 Drought situation. This involves the voluntary reduction of water by commercial, residential and business use by 20%. The Water Response Team(WRT) is coordinated by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, per Government of Ontario policy, and is made up of representatives from: the Ontario Ministry of Environment, the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and County municipalities and emergency services. All residents of the County of Renfrew are encouraged to voluntarily reduce their water usage. Some residents have reported that the wells on their properties have either dried up completely, or are providing minimal output. The Water Response Team encourages residents with dry wells to contact well drillers for advice in terms of restoring water. As well, the Renfrew County & District Health Unit can answer questions in terms of water conditions throughout the county. The Water Response Team has also developed a short questionnaire for residents and businesses that documents the economic effects of the drought in the region. These forms are available at all local municipal offices, and residents are encouraged to take a moment and fill them out.

Times are evolving at Lean on Me Steve Newman Steve.newman@metroland.com

Times are evolving at Mary Etmanskiʼs Renfrew business. Contrary to rumour, Etmanski is not retiring from Lean on Me, which for years has offered foot-care and reflexology services. She started doing reflexology treatments 17 years ago, but Etmanski is now referring those patients to Angela Mackey. Etmanski, 61, says her right shoulder needs a rest. “Itʼs an occupational hazard from repetitive work,” said Etmanski. “I will continue in my role as an advanced foot-care specialist, but I donʼt want people to think Iʼm retiring,” she said. Her foot care includes treatment of corns, calluses, ingrown toenails, fungal conditions and other issues. Etmanski will also continue serving as a wig consultant for women experiencing hair loss. As for her reflexology clients, theyʼre being referred to Mackey, who owns Renfrew Massage Therapy (previously Alternative Health Care Clinic) at 11 Renfrew Ave. East. Etmanski, whose office is at nearby 103 Quarry Ave., calls reflexology the application of pressure to pressure points on the feet. “With good head, hand and heart connections by the reflexologist, thereʼs improvements in relaxation and circulation,” said Etmanski. “Ultimately, treatment returns the body to its optimum balance.”

After 17 years, Mary Etmanski, left, is ending the reflexology component part of her Lean on Me business. Now she’s referring her clients to another Renfrew reflexologist, Angela Mackey, at right, but she is continuing her foot-care services. Etmanski says sheʼs pleased to redirect reflexology clients to Mackey. “I instantly liked her heart and sense of compassion for people,” said Etmanski after receiving a treatment from Mackey. “I knew what she did would be awesome.” Through the Ontario College of Reflexology, Mackey is concluding her studies as a certified reflexologist this month. “Itʼs an honour that sheʼs trusting the wellbeing of her clients in my hands,” said Mackey.

Focus on impact of Official Plan on rural property Dave Mackay, president of the Renfrew County National Farmers Union, reports that it was recommended the agricultural community participate in the present discussions leading to revisions to the Renfrew County Official Plan. The proper designation of agriculture lands within the county boundaries are very important considering agriculture is the biggest primary industry in Renfrew County producing anywhere between 90 and 100 million dollars annually. The current official plan was put in place in 2003 and is reviewed every five years to ensure that it is aligned with current provincial policy statement. “At one of our regular meetings it was brought to our attention that there are certain

unclear issues surrounding the designation of agriculture lands and many residents are not at all familiar with the present official plan,” said Mackay. “What the Renfrew County NFU hopes to achieve is for property owners to better understand what is in the current County Official Plan and why there appear to be different regulations from one area of the county to another,” he said. “Charles Cheesman, manager of planning services at the county has offered to attend a public meeting to bring residents up to speed as to what the present requirements for agricultural lands are under the present official plan. Out of this meeting, if there are any other issues which

should be addressed, then the Renfrew County NFU may put forward those recommendations in accordance with NFU policy already in place,” Mackay said. “This will be just a roundtable information and discussion meeting with Mr. Cheesman around issues pertaining to agricultural lands in Renfrew County. It will give us a chance over the winter to come up with possible recommendations to the Renfrew County Official Plan,” he added. The meeting is Monday, Oct. 1 at 7:30 p.m. at the Barr Line Community Centre. “We encourage rural residents to come out to learn more about the rules and regulations pertaining to their property,” Mackay said.

Passing with honours Dave Riddell, centre, of Barker’s Collision Centre is congratulated by owner-president Bob Barker, left, and general manager Allen Jamieson. On Sept. 4 in Sudbury, Riddell attended a one-day course with 20 individuals from all over Ontario and Quebec. Riddell is now a newly certified qualified rustblock undercoating technician. He studied professional spraying and passed with honours.

MP Gallant hosts business seminar Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant thanked local business leaders in the defence, aerospace and cuclear sectors for taking the time to attend an information session held at the Innovation Centre in Renfrew recently. “I am pleased to express my appreciation to Mr. David Lemkay, executive director of the Renfrew Industrial Commission, for allowing the use of the Renfrew Innovation Centre to hold our meeting,” said Gallant. She said the meeting was an outstanding success and, in addition to providing an opportunity for local employers to network by sharing the core activities of their businesses, she was pleased to arrange the participation of federal government officials from the Southern Ontario Development Agency (FedDev), which includes Eastern Ontario. Each Renfrew County employer gave a brief presentation of their business, followed by an opportunity to answer questions and share information. FedDev Ontario gave a detailed overview of their programs including the Southern Ontario Fund for Investment in Innovation (SOFII) and the Canadian Innovation Commercialization Program (CICP). FedDev has a mandate from the Conservative government to promote economic growth and job creation, foster innovation, enhance productivity and competitiveness, support re-

FedDev was launched in 2009 by Prime Minister Stephen Harper in response to representations made by Conservative MPs in eastern Ontario, who made the case for a federal agency with a similar mandate to the existing agency already established in northern Ontario for regional development. “Canada has weathered the global recession better than most countries. “Acknowledging that economic growth has been uneven, the Prime Minister agreed that federal leadership was necessary if all regions were to share in the economic recovery. FedDev is our direct response to that reality,” said Gallant. “It has been proven that helping existing businesses grow generates more jobs than trying to start new businesses from scratch. Judging by the reaction of todayʼsʼ participants, the seminar was time well-spent,” said Gallant.

Lorente among speakers at second Home Child Day Steve Newman steve.newman@meteroland.com

Village, a few authors will join the celebrations. AUTHORS’ STAGE

These include Beryl Young who wrote the book, Charlie. The book is based on her fatherĘźs experience as a British Home Child who was placed in Inkerman, Ont. Other visiting authors will be Penny Draper, who wrote Day of the Cyclone, and Sandra Joyce, author of Street Arab – A British Home Child Story. As was the case last year, the day will end with a British Home Child Day dinner at WillardĘźs Hotel. The celebrations will also feature several travelling museum displays. New to celebrations this year is SaturdayĘźs British Home Child Day symposium at the South Stormont Township Hall in Long Sault. This event will begin at 9:30 a.m., with registration and coffee, followed by a day of exhibits, displays, speakers and research information. Lorente, as one of the speakers, will share reections from home children, and talk about Claude Nunney, a home child and CanadaĘźs most decorated soldier from the non-commissioned ranks. Nunney, who was one of three siblings sent to Canada about 1905, had a brother AlďŹ e who lived in the Renfrew County village of Micksburg. The other brother, George, died in a drowning accident at a young age. Normally home children did not cross paths once sent to Canada, but Claude and AlďŹ e met at a ďŹ eld hospital in France in 1918. For more details about Home Child Day, contact Carolyn Goddard at 613-938-2455 or email carol.goddard@sympatico.ca, Jim Brownell jim.brownell@yahoo.ca, or Tom Brownell at tomnfaye@sympatico.ca.

Home Child Canada founder and Renfrew resident Dave Lorente will be a guest speaker at British Home Child Day celebrations. The second annual event takes place tomorrow (Sept. 28) at Upper Canada Village. Lorente says his remarks will focus on reections from home children he has spoken to since he founded Home Child Canada in 1991. Lorente, whose father Joe was a home child, was in Great Britain in 2010 when British Prime Minister Gordon Brown apologized for BritainĘźs role in sending thousands of British home children to the British colonies in the 20th century. These children were dispatched, separated forever from their parents, and left to begin their lives in loving or not-so-loving circumstances. Australia has given a similar apology to home children, but Canada has yet to do so, says Lorente. Sometimes referred to as The Little Immigrants, British home children were often orphans or impoverished children who came under the care of different philanthropic organizations such as the Anglican Church, BarnardoĘźs, the Catholic Emigration Service or QuarrierĘźs. This year the event at Upper Canada Village will look at the role of William Quarrier who created a ChildrenĘźs Village in Renfrewshire, Scotland to assist orphans and destitute young people. Upper Canada VillageĘźs website says records show that young British children were sent to North American colonies as early as the middle 1700s. However, Lorente says thereĘźs evidence of children being sent, as indentured labourers, to Richmond, Virginia in the early 1600s. The vast majority of British Home Children came to Canada from the 1860s to the 1930s, with the last arriving around 1948. Ontario East British Home Child Family, an organization dedicated to the promotion of the British Home Children story in Canadian history, says it is pleased to present the ďŹ rst anniversary of British Home Child Day in Ontario. In addition to displays, exhibits, speakers, Voices of the Past vignettes and the popular story-telling in Christ Church at Upper Canada

Dave Lorente will share reflections from home children, and talk about Claude Nunney, a home child and Canada’s most decorated soldier from the noncommissioned ranks.

Back to school, back to work

Last week was a busy one for students at St. JosephĘźs. School spirit was everywhere, and both the students and staff were very enthusiastic about the spirit days! Throughout the week, fundraising was done by many different committees. St. JosephĘźs made a donation to the Bonnechere Manor with the money raised through fastpaced wheelchair races. The athletics committee collected money for the Terry Fox Foundation during the week, and then organized a Terry Fox walk for the entire school. Overall, the support and participation from students made it a very successful week. The 2013 Dominican Republic Experience team held their ďŹ rst bake sale last Friday. The money they raise throughout the year will be used to purchase medical supplies, friendship kits, physiciansĘź travel packs and other essentials. The team, consisting of Grade 11 and 12 students from St. JosephĘźs and Bishop Smith Catholic High School in Pembroke, will travel to the Dominican Republic in February 2013. Students have been settling back into a routine, and for many that includes extracurricular activities. Bands and choirs are back in full swing. The students interested in performing arts participated in a variety show last Friday. It was a wonderful showcase of the talent at St. JoeĘźs. In the sports world, tryouts and practices have the gymnasium booked almost every afternoon. Grade 8 ag football tryouts have begun, coached by teacher Tim OĘźConnor. The junior and senior boys volleyball teams are busy practising, with upcoming games in the next few weeks. GirlĘźs basketball kicked off their season with a couple of exhibition games last week against local teams. Cross-country runners have begun to prepare for approaching meets. St. JoeĘźs is now online and updated often! Like us on our newly updated Facebook page, where you will ďŹ nd recent updates and information as well as links to our website and Twitter feed!

Sandhill cranes arrive to feed and rest Pauline and Kevin Hughes had four sandhill cranes arrive in their back yard this week to feed on seeds and grubs in the grass. The birds were grey, indicating adult birds, the bustle of feathers and the bare, red forehead patch were quite visible. The adults rub their body with soil in spring and summer which causes their plumage to be varying shades of tan, brown or cinnamon. By mid fall they are their normal gray again. Juvenile birds are tan in colour which fades by the first winter, have a pinkish bill and a feathered forehead patch. The Hughes noted some unusual behaviour by both the cranes and a herd of young cattle in the pasture where they were both feeding. When the cranes landed on Sunday morning they began to jump into the air and turn over some of the many cow pies (we all know what it means) looking for any worms or grubs that were underneath. While the birds were feeding the cattle began to move toward the cranes and as they approached the cranes gave a loud squawk and flew off. The cattle did not give up and ran after the cranes as the birds flew away. Needless to say, they did not catch the cranes. In flight there can be no mistaking sandhill cranes. The long neck outstretched and legs dangling behind, long, broad wings that have a snapping upstroke and slower downstroke are like no other bird. Swans are pure white and great blue herons have a folded neck. BIRD BANDING

Norma Dewar on River Road had a blue jay in her yard with a silver band on its left leg. Many hundreds of birds are banded every year with many types and colours of bands. The recovery rate is very low with only 10 per cent of bands applied to game birds recovered and one per cent of bands applied to song birds recovered. If you find a live bird with a band, do not try to remove it as you may injure the bird. Just record any information and send it to the address below.

JIM FERGUSON SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE If you are able to recover a band, record the number sequence, colour, materials on the band, exact location where the bird was found, species, sex and age, if known. Record whether the bird was dead, alive, injured, free or trapped. Include your name, address, telephone number and email address so that the banding information can be sent to you. Tape the band to a piece of paper and mail it to: Bird Banding Office, National Wildlife Centre, Environment Canada, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0H3. You can also telephone toll free at 1-800-327-2263, email BBO CWS@ec.gc.ca or go online at wwwreportband. gov

It is interesting, yet no explanation has been found for the fact that adult red-eyed vireos and white throated sparrows preceded immatures on migration by 10 days and adult dark-eyed juncos preceded immatures by two weeks. But for Nashville and Magnolia, warblers the immatures preceded the adults by 10 days. How do the immature birds find their way without their parents and without having travelled the route before? Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, R.R. 5, Renfrew, Ont. K7V 3Z8. Telephone 613-4322738 or email jamesh@nrtco. net

STOP OVER

Many millions of bird migrate north in the spring and south in the fall every year but very few make the trip one way without a stop. Snow geese will sometimes fly from James Bay to the Gulf of Mexico non-stop but most take a break along the way. A stop-over area where there is an abundance of food and adequate shelter are a must if the birds are to survive the trip and return the following season. Areas along the Great Lakes in Ontario have some prime stop-over areas. Point Pelee is a favourite as are Prince Edward County, Presquʼile Provincial Park, Perth Wildlife Preserve, Algonquin Park and locally Lake Dore, Muskrat Lake, Calabogie Lake and all rivers, lakes and wooded areas in between. IN BETWEEN TIME

Some of our summer birds are still here eastern phoebes, eastern bluebirds, American robin, yellow-rumped warblers, common crows, starlings, red-winged blackbirds, common grackles and brownheaded cowbirds and will remain as long as there is food available. Seeds, fruit and some insects are still plentiful and birds must “fatten up” before they begin their migration.

Bon Echo and The Land Between The cliffs that rise 100 metres from Mazinaw Lake at Bon Echo Provincial Park have been witness to many changes over the centuries. On Oct. 6, visitors will have a chance to explore some of that history, as the park hosts a screening of The Land Between documentary at 7 p.m. in the amphitheatre. The Land Between is what ecologists call an ecotone, a large transition zone which lies between the Canadian Shield and the St. Lawrence Lowlands, stretching 240 kilometres across south-central Ontario from Georgian Bay to Kingston. Bon Echo lies on the eastern fringe of The Land Between, and its cliffs are a spectacular example of the granitic barrens that make up

the northern part of the ecotone. Work on the non-profit project began in 2010 and the result is a three part, documentary series featuring the natural and cultural history of The Land Between, complete with cinematic re-enactments of historical events, interviews, archival photographs and film. To view a trailer of the series, visit www.visualheritage.ca/thelandbetween. On Oct. 6, park visitors will see a theatrical version which runs about two hours. The screening is complimentary for those camping in the park or is included in the price of your day pass. Day passes are $14 per vehicle, $11 per vehicle for Ontario Senior Citizens, and $7 per vehicle for Ontarians with disabilities.

Reading with Ronald Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

It has been said Ronald McDonald is the second most recognizable character for North American children, with a reputation second only to Santa Claus. Whether or not itʼs true, 20 adults and children gathered in the Renfrew Public Library Sept. 18 to listen to and interact with the iconic character who has been known for years as McDonaldʼs Chief Happiness Officer. The young children, all about ages three to seven, gradually warmed up to McDonald, who led the children in a few warm-up exercises, like imitation bicycling and arm waving, so they were ready for his reading of No Dragons for Tea.

“Weʼre going to pedal to get our listening ears,” said the guest reader. The story theme was fire safety for young people and one of the bookʼs characters, a dragon. After his reading, he briefly quizzed the children on fire safety and got informed answers about calling 9-1-1 and the need to leave a burning building without looking for personal valuables. He then gathered with the children for a group photo. He also handed out autographed copies of Fun Times with Ronald McDonald: Sports Day Fun and paper lips imitating McDonaldʼs big red lips, signed on the back with the advice: “Keep smiling.” McDonald was in town as part of an eastern Ontario library tour to such communi-

ties as Carleton Place and Peterborough. In August, he was in southwestern Ontario communities that included Windsor, Sarnia and Simcoe, with the same message of sharing happiness and literacy. “Mostly, itʼs to get them smiling,” said Ronald. “Spread the word, just smile and keep smiling,” he said. Afterwards, a member of the audience won a McDonaldʼs watch, while two others took home library-donated gift baskets that contained reading material. Coupons for McDonaldʼs yogurt and French fries were also handed out. Adults in the audience included the managers of the Arnprior and Renfrew McDonaldʼs outlets.

Top anglers chase after the big catch at Cobden’s Muskrat Lake Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Many of Canadaʼs top anglers dropped their lines into Cobdenʼs Muskrat Lake at the 2012 Renegade Bass Classic XVII championship Sept. 15 and 16. The duo of Carl Roy of Ottawa and Eric Clemot of Casselman emerged victorious as their two-day total of 10 fish tipped the scales at 33.8 pounds that earned them the top prize $60,000 Ranger Boat and Motor package. They had a flare for the dramatics as they were the last team to weigh in. Their boat had broken down earlier in the day. The runner-up team of Mike Desforges and Jay McCormack earned $4,000; third place Jean Martin Landry and Pat Milot $3,000 and fourth place, P.J. Burns and Dale Goodrow, $1,000. Simon Lavictoire and Carl Gagnon pocketed $500 for fifth, while the other five top10 finishers all received $250. That top-10 list included Valley anglers Scott Lefebvre of Ottawa and Renfrewʼs Rob Yantha. They finished ninth with a total of 23.96 pounds. The Yantha-Lefebvre duo actually had their sights set higher after day one. They won big fish for day one, and were in fourth place, well under a half pound behind the leaders at the time, and a mere .01 pound behind the eventual champions. In 21st was the team of Greg Gervais of Beachburg and Renfrewʼs Steve OʼConnor at 19.54. Renfrew native Ken Dagenais and team partner Kerry Clouthier, who hails from Petawawa, finished in 35th place. They brought in five fish totalling 11.51 pounds on

Ken Dagenais, left, and Kerry Clouthier captured Series Team of the Year honours in 2011. However, the bass weren’t in a biting mood Sunday (Sept. 16) at the 2012 Renegade Bass Classic. the first day, but had no success in day two as they failed to land any fish worth bringing in in the catch and release event. Dagenais and Clouthier captured Series Team of the Year honours in 2011, and finished a respectable sixth this year. The classic championship, did not affect the 2012 Series Team of the Year status. The big fish for day two was brought in by the team of Ed Puddephatt and Kevin Moberg. They finished sixth overall at 25.27 pounds. Real Fishing Show TV host Bob Izumi and son Darren Izumi placed 27th with a weight of 14.78 pounds. The event was emceed by another well-known angler, Big Jim McLaughlin. Arguably the biggest championship fishing event in Canada, the tournament drew

40 two-men teams from as far away as southern Ontario, Montreal and New York. The 40 boats left the Municipal Launch in Cobden at 7 a.m. both days of the competition, and returned for the weigh-in before the awaiting crowd in mid-afternoon. Jack Bennett of Cobden was the winner of the stainless steel gas barbecue sponsored by Direct Energy. Brett Miller of the organizing committee said the Renegade Bass Classic was a boon to the economy as competitors stayed in hotels in Renfrew, Pembroke, Eganville and Cobden. Some also rented cottages. There was also good support from the people of Cobden and area. “On Sunday, we had a real good crowd,” Miller said. “By the time cars were parked, and with the competi-

Wolves need to make hay over the next two weekends The Renfrew Timberwolves have hit a key point in their 2012-13 Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League schedule, and itʼs only three games into the season. Itʼs simple enough. The Wolves are 1-and-2, and this past Sunday night, started a fivegame home stand with a 7-5 setback to the Ottawa Canadians. But the time is now to look ahead to the immediate future. They take on four Valley Division opponents – Stittsville, Perth, Almonte and Shawville – over the next two week-

ends at the MAC. All these games are very winnable. The Wolves need to come out of this 5-and-2, or at least, 4-and-3. Anything less, and they could dig themselves into a hole quickly. Wrestler honoured: Members of the Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club from the early 2000 era will remem-

Pigskin Parade and the Pigskin Action

Drew Edwards of the RCI Senior Raiders, far left, looks for running room against a Mackenzie Mustangs defender during Friday afternoon’s high school football doubleheader at Ma-Te-Way Park’s Lindsay Field. The Raiders dominated on both sides of the ball en route to a 21-0 victory. Above, the rain held off, allowing the RCI band to salute onlookers with music as the annual RCI Pigskin Parade marched down Renfrew’s main street and out to Ma-Te-Way Park for the season-opening football doubleheader.

Avalon hosts second national event Hats off to those who make season possible Todd Spurrell

Andy Sklepowicz

Avalon Ranch

Behind the Glass

Avalon Ranch hosted its second National Dock Dogs event Sept. 14 to 16. Autumn Fest on The Ranch kicked off on a rainy Friday afternoon but that didnʼt stop these diehard dock diving athletes from catching some Big Air. Competitors huddled underneath a coverall with the rain streaming down all around them, anxiously waiting for their dogʼs name to be called over the loud speaker. Laughing and cheering each other on, the dogs all jumped one by one to retrieve their favourite toys. Saturday morning started off a little cool and the campers at Avalon Ranch were up on deck first thing. The weather cleared off as they went into the Extreme Vertical rounds. This is where the dogs must use only half the length of the dock to gather enough speed to jump vertically and grab a bumper attached by magnets suspended from a crane eight feet out from the end of the dock over the water. The bumper is raised in two-inch increments after each successful attempt until there is only one dog remaining. The highest EV jump of the day was seven feet, two inches by a five-year-old Black Labrador Retriever named Taz, owned by Mike Chiasson from Shannon, Que. Taz also took the lead in speed retrieve, winning the Sonic division in 5.65 seconds. In the final rounds of Big Air, Christel Klocke of Brockville and her two-year-old black lab Jonker took first place in the pro standings. Christina Lentz, who trains at Avalon Ranch with her one year old German Shorthaired Pointer Ashby took first place in semi pro standings, and our very own Mary Spurrell with her four-year-old Border Collie Rev, took first place in amateur standings.

The opening of the club and the start of a new curling season is almost upon us, so it is important to thank a few of the many people who have made it possible. Our dying, and dead, icemaking equipment has now successfully been replaced, thanks to the summer-long work of Jim Berg, ably assisted by David Anderson and ice tech Rick Allan, and their helpers. Jim not only supervised the installation of the new equipment but also found and repaired the 14 (and counting) leaks in the brine pipes. This, and the signing of Rick to a new two-year contract should

Avalon Ranch on Lochwinnoch Road is holding a dock dogs fun day Saturday. The afternoon session is booked up. However, slots from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. are still open. Call Mary Spurrell of Avalon Ranch at 613-432-4344 to register. “Come try out this new sport with your dog. There is no experience necessary,” Spurrell said. As Sunday warmed up, the spectators started rolling in to watch these magnificent dogs perform at their best. By the afternoon, when the dogs were jumping their way into speed retrieve.It was so warm that the water the dogs splashed onto the on-looking crowd was nice and refreshing. Steve and Ruth from Millʼs Music in Renfrew provided a huge stage structure that ran down one side of the pool where the spectators could watch the dogs in comfort. Mill Music also provided all the sound used to power this event. This event was sponsored by Ezydog U.S.A., Gun Dog Supply U.S.A., Canadian Tire Renfrew, Wal-Mart Renfrew and M&R Feeds Renfrew. We thank Christina

Lentz for the gift basket, Scott McGuire water services and Nesbitt Aggregates for landscaping supplies. Alex Spurrell and Russ Rider from Dock Dogs USA brought the weekend to an end by doing an amazing job with the Canadian and American national anthems at the closing ceremonies. Avalon Ranch (www.avalonranch.ca) is looking forward to a big turnout next spring as more and more people come to watch the exciting sport of Dock Dogs. Avalon Ranch is sponsoring the Canadian Dock Dogs team that has been training right here in Renfrew to go to the televised world competition at the Five Flags Center in Dubuque, Iowa Nov. 15 to 18, 2012.

His patience and attention to detail ensured a successful Trillium grant application. Thanks also to Barb Westgarth who has once again taken on the lead role of bringing a major curling event to our club. After a very successful first Tim Hortons Masters Provincial Championship two years ago, this prestigious event has once again been awarded to Renfrew. The best women and men curlers in the province, 60 and over, take to the ice in January. As far as the club opening, the ice is being made and

should be ready for the start of October. Introductory clinics will be held Tuesday and Thursday, Oct. 2 and 4, from 7 to 9 p.m. This is open to all our new curlers or those that require basic instruction. It is also open to the community at large. If you want to try the sport and see if it is for you, you are more than welcome to attend. All equipment will be provided and there is no cost. There will also be clinics the same days 1 to 3 p.m. with basic and ongoing instruction for new curlers and those looking to practise their skills. Club curling begins Oct. 9, so itʼs time to shake off the spider webs from my gear and start beating the old body back into some form of curling shape. Ah, the pain!

New Season Season Begins

MP welcomes Olympian Bishop to Parliament Hill

STATEMENT IN HOUSE OF COMMONS MP BRIAN JEAN

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant with Olympic track and field athlete Melissa Bishop of Eganville.

Following is the statement Gallant made in the House of

Commons Monday, Sept. 17. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to rise today to recognize Ottawa Valley girl and Canadian Olympic athlete Melissa Bishop. Melissa Bishop represented Canada at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London in the 800-metre race. She earned the right to represent Canada by becoming only the third Canadian woman to break the two-minute barrier in the two-lap race in the qualifying rounds. While Melissa is a native of Bonnechere Valley township, from deep in the heart of the upper Ottawa Valley, she carried with her the thoughts and aspirations of all the people in the Ottawa Valley. In turn, Ottawa Valley residents embraced Melissa, supporting fundraising events, buying T-shirts and giving her a hero’s welcome with a homecoming parade. Melissa shared with us her Olympic dream to be the best by competing with the best, running toward the dream. We will see her in Rio in four years.

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant welcomed Melissa Bishop to Parliament Hill recently. Bishop joined her fellow Canadian Olympic Athletes for a special tribute in the House of Commons. Gallant joined her parliamentary colleagues in recognizing all Canadian Olympic athletes and their efforts in London this past summer. Joining Gallant and Bishop for lunch in Ottawa were Dale Potter from Horton Township, Garry and Donna Dowd from Arnprior, and June Anderson from Pembroke. “It was my pleasure to recognize Melissa earlier this week in a special statement in the House of Commons on the first day of the new session,” said Gallant. “Her coming to Ottawa allowed me to share the pride of Renfrew County with my colleagues.”

The Renfrew Collegiate Senior Raiders were solid on both sides of the football en route to a 21-0 win over the visiting Mackenzie Mustangs in Renfrew County senior football action Friday afternoon at Ma-Te-Way Park. The win was an important one as it evens RCIʼs record at 1-and-1. It also gives the Senior Raiders the inside track for home field should they meet Deep River in the county semifinal next month. The Junior Raiders lost their home opener 22-2 to the visiting Smiths Falls Redhawks in Lanark-Renfrew High School Junior Football action. Fridayʼs doubleheader capped off Spirit Week, and followed RCIʼs annual Pigskin Parade. SENIOR RAIDERS 21, MACKENZIE 0

Matt Murdock had two touchdowns, and also had an interception in leading RCI. Murdock scored the gameʼs first major on a 34-yard run in the second quarter, and added a second score off a pitch-out from quarterback Cooper Brown to seal

the verdict late in the third quarter. Murdock also had a key interception to snuff out a promising Mackenzie march down by the Raiders goalline in the second quarter. Connor Jamieson had the other RCI major on a scintillating 90-yard run following Murdockʼs interception. Brown converted one touchdown while the Deep River squad conceded a two-point safety in the fourth quarter. Devin Clouthier paced the Raiders defence with two interceptions. Joel Pilgrim also had a pick. “Weʼve very pleased,” Raiders coach Todd Stewart said after the game. Stewart is joined on the bench by Kyle Stevenson, Bob Dillabough and Brian Sharpe. “We played four full quarters. We got everyone in. I wasnʼt sure if weʼd be able to do that against a tough team.” The Senior Raiders travel to Pembroke to meet the Fellowes Falcons at 1 p.m. this Friday. Quarterback Billy Karras engineered some promising drives, but the Junior Raiders turned the ball over deep in Smiths Falls territory a couple of times, and that came back to haunt RCI. The Raiders scored first when Smiths Falls conceded a safety in the second

quarter. But the Redhawks scored on their next possession and carried a 6-2 lead into the second half. The Redhawks added a second TD in the third quarter, and another six against a worn down RCI defence in the fourth quarter as they began to pull away. “It was a good game (but we) took some untimely penalties,” coach Ed Oegema said. “We couldnʼt put it in (when) in the red zone.” Completing the Junior Raiders staff are Bill Currie, Jeff Barber and Terry Edwards. The junior squad is at Notre Dame in Carleton Place Friday at 3 p.m.

Bantam Wolves win two games

The Renfrew Bantam Timberwolves swept a pre-season hockey doubleheader Saturday. The Wolves blanked Pembroke 2-0 and edged Muskrat 3-2. Goalgetters were Linden Fraser, Ben Scheuneman, Ryan Boudreau, Janessa Linton and Nicholas Fleguel. Carter Blimkie and Carter Atkins shared goaltending duties.

After Sabourin and Parker made it 6-4, Mathew McIntyre took advantage of a miscue by netminder Matthew Weatherdon to get the back out to Cuthill to make it 6-5. The Wolves had chances in the remaining 10:35, but couldnʼt cash in. Marsh nailed the empty net with two seconds remaining. Matt Gagne got the call in goal for the Wolves, and made some outstanding saves despite the six that got by him. Shots were 42-23 in Ottawaʼs favour, including a 19-4 edge in the middle period.

It was a tough beginning to a five-game home stand for the Renfrew Timberwolves. In front of a decent-sized crowd for a Sunday night, the Wolves (1-and-2) got off to a promising start in their contest against the Ottawa Canadians of the Metro Division before losing 7-5 at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. The Wolves jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League encounter before things began to unravel. The Canadians fought back to tie the game 3-3, and then 4-4 before the middle stanza ended, and then grabbed a lead theyʼd not relinquish in the final period. The Wolves narrowed the gap to 6-5 before an empty net marker sealed their fate.

Scott McIroy had two goals to pace the Ottawa attack. Taylor Collins, Ben Hartley, Tristan Sabourin, former Timberwolves Mitch Parker and Patrick Marsh added others. Tanner Smith, Patrick Dick, Jesse Riopelle, Casey Doner and Steve Cuthill clicked for the Wolves. Despite taking the first three penalties before the game was five minutes old, the Wolves struck first when Smith banged home a shorthanded goal. Dick followed with a powerplay goal on Renfrewʼs first advantage of the night. Jesse Riopelle made it 3-0 before Collins answered for Ottawa. The Canadians took advantage of Renfrew penalties as all three of their goals in the middle period came on powerplays. So did their open-net tally in the third.

Whereas minor hockey coaches focus mainly on team strategy and game play, McGregor says the program provides an opportunity for students to brush up on their individual skills – puck handling, shooting, and skating. Students view video clips of themselves to analyze their skating skills and stride. “Students can take the skills learned at the academy and apply them on their minor hockey teams,” adds Trainor. Of the 30 students in the program in this inaugural year, McGregor notes there is a wide range of skills from triple A minor hockey level to rep, house league and even six students who have never participated in organized hockey. The on-ice hockey drills require planning to meet this variety of skill levels. “We plan the drills to keep everyone moving at a steady

pace and ensure theyʼre not waiting in line,” says McGregor, adding students are sometimes grouped by ability, but there are also opportunities for peer modelling where high-level players help to teach other students. Volunteers from the community with coaching experience are lending their assistance, and senior students are taking leadership roles through the co-op program. McGregor says guest speakers will also be invited. For example, Trevor Timmins, who has worked in the NHL for 20 years in various positions and is the Montreal Canadiens director of amateur scouting, will give an in-depth look at what his job involves and the role character plays in his draft selections. “The more people involved, the better the program runs,” says McGregor.

Dryland and skills training take place on off-ice days. Teacher/head instructor Meghan Cahill points out that in addition to developing leadership, organization and co-operation skills, the program incorporates many of the Catholic graduate expectations, such as being effective communicators and reflective thinkers. Students are expected to be responsible citizens in the community as they commute to and from the rink, and in their use of the facility. There is also a health component to the program. “Students learn about nutrition and healthy eating, fitness and injury prevention,” says Cahill.

Hockey education is now part of the curriculum offered to Grade 9 and 10 students for credits at St. Josephʼs Catholic High School (SJCHS) in Renfrew. In a presentation to the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board on Sept. 10, Principal Brennan Trainor outlined the process involved in bringing the Hockey Canada Skills Academy to SJCHS, including endorsement from the Towns of Renfrew and Arnprior and their minor hockey associations, as well as the school board. Once approval was gained other aspects fell nicely into place. Although all teaching/ coaching team members already held hockey coaching levels, academy head instructor Stacey McGregor travelled to Calgary this summer for a week of training that he will share with coaching colleagues. “He is expected by Hockey Canada to pass that knowledge along to others,” says Trainor. Another condition of the program is that no child would be refused due to cost, which organizers are offering for $250 per student. “Other programs in Calgary charge students as much as $1,600 for the program,” comments McGregor. The only extra costs are program jerseys and insurance, and students must have all the approved equipment. “We have a system in place to help any student who wants to participate but canʼt afford the cost,” says Trainor. A reciprocal agreement was reached with the Town of Renfrew for use of the Ma-TeWay Activity Centre five days a week at no cost. The town, in

Artists gather inspiration from others, like Maud Lewis Diana Wakely Renfrew Art Guild

We, as artists, gather our inspiration from those before us, be it the masters or those we have taken lessons from. Last year the Renfrew Art Guild decided that we should read up and study other painters and see just what we can learn. It is amazing that even though you may not be interested in a particular style or artist once you start reading you do glean something that only enhances what you already know. We thought we might as well tackle Canadian artists

and this month it is Maud Lewis, who was born in Nova Scotia in 1903. If you Google Nova Scotia artists her name comes up. Her physical appearance made her a lonely child and to keep her busy her mother got her painting Christmas cards. They became popular and people started buying them. After the

death of her parents Maud moved in with Everett Lewis and lived in their little house until her death in 1970. They were very poor, and Maud was crippled with arthritis. She painted on everything from baking tins to the walls of her house. Her work became known and through TV and newspapers she became somewhat famous. People would come from far and wide and this was their only source of income. After she died, her house was restored and now sits intact in the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia in Halifax.

Maybe one day your great grandchildren might be grateful. We are bringing our interpretation of MaudĘźs work to our next meeting. You are quite

Austin TexasĘź very own The Bright Light Social Hour will be coming to Burnstown to rock The Neat Coffee Shop, Oct. 22. Born out of a university art-rock collective, the band ďŹ rst gained attention in Austin from their incendiary live performances and innovative vision of rock and roll. Melding southern rock, hard dance, psychedelic blues and deep soul, their debut full-length album led to heightening critical acclaim, and a rare sweep of six awards at the SXSW 2011 Austin Music Awards, which included Band of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year. They have been bringing that same intensity to the Canadian festival scene.

Over the summer, they played with Aerosmith (in Quebec) where they rocked out in front of their largest audience to date (80,000 people) and during NXNE the crowd lost their marbles and demanded an encore at the end of their set, forcing festival organizers to re-jig the live timetable. But, it was in Saskatoon where their love for Canada really grew, and out of a bad experience none-the-less as $15,000 worth of their equipment was stolen after their Saskatoon gig, including their all of their luggage. However, after making the theft public, and asking for help, their fans, which included a large number of Canadians, raised more than $9,000 to get the band new instruments and the band back on the Trans-Canada to continue their tour.

Your Community Newspaper

BYZANTINE ICONS AND MORE

A wide variety of different artistic media will be shown, including oil, acrylic and water colour painting, byzantine icons, handmade jewelry, art photography, digital art, blown glass, mosaics, metal sculpture, wood carving and painting on egg shells. The intent of the tour is to attract residents and visitors to the area to promote the skills of local artists and to put the Arnprior area on the artistic map.ʼ In total, 24 individual artists are participating. ABARTSA has created a website at http://abartsa.wordpress.com. Download the map and ad-

dresses of the participating studios or look for a brochure at participating stores and organizations. The event has received sponsorship from several local companies. A brochure shows the route and provides descriptions of the participating studios and artists and their various media. This brochure and posters promoting the event are available at local and regional stores and organizations. FOUNDED THIS YEAR

ABARTSA is a group of dedicated, professional artists formed earlier this year. They are interested in promoting the arts within Arnprior and the surrounding communities through public exhibitions, affiliations with businesses and government, workshops and supporting the community. During the recent Arnprior 150th anniversary celebrations, ABARTSA participated through its Art in the Park exhibition. ABARTSA also participated in Julyʼs Renfrew Art in the Park exhibition.

1912: O’Brien building railway; 1937: Mishaps on Coumbs Street M.J. OʼBRIEN BUILDING RAILWAY: M.J. OʼBrien reported as stating that grading is completed on the section of the line he is building to 150 miles east of Cochrane, Ont., with the exception of about 35 miles which he expects will be finished this year. Track has been laid over the greater portion of this mileage, and will be completed early next year. Track is laid from Cochrane easterly practically to a junction with the OʼBrien contract. It is expected, adds Mr. OʼBrien, that the whole line from Quebec to Cochrane will be ready for traffic except for the finishing up process, by June 30 1913. FAIR MIDWAY SMALLER THIS YEAR: Though the midway was not so big as last year, nor so satisfactory to the young people, the fair management were able to deliver what they had advertised as the central feature. Darlings Trained Animal Circus; and it was a planning feature to the great bulk of those who went within the curtains. A big mistake was made in having the circus put up downtown for a day or two before the Fair, for the show was a big one to move that it was late getting started at the grounds on Thursday; and short of help; the show commenced without the tiers of seats being set in position, so that the bulk of the crowd that day had to stand. But it was a good clean show, such as fits well with Renfrew Fair.

SEPTEMBER 23, 1937

MISHAPS HAVE OCCURRED ON COUMBS STREET: Two accidents occurred on the Coumbs Street reconstruction works on Tuesday with victims Mrssrs. Moses Seymour and Joseph Hay, the former of Renfrew and the latter of Cobden. Both were hurt by machinery at different points on the street. On the following day two cars were in collision at the corner of Coumbs and Barr streets, with no very serious damage done. One of the cars was being directed to a detour at Hall and Raglan, Coumbs street widening at the time. J.J. SOUTHERN ACCEPTS POSITITION WITH BARRYMORE CLOTH: Renfrew is to lose another estimable family, Mr. J.J. Southern, who for the past eight years has been successfully operating Renfrew Woollen Mills, has taken the position of manager of the Barrymore Cloth Mills at Toronto. This concern is one of the largest in Canada and has plants at Toronto and Campbellford. Mr. Southern leaves shortly and will be followed within a month by Mrs. Southern and daughters Joan and Barbara. Since coming here Mr. and Mrs. Southern have been prominent in Renfrewʼs social circle and they will be much missed. Mr. Southern was most active in town and com-

Thereʼs plenty for residents or visitors to do in Greater Madawaska Township this weekend. The fifth annual Festival of the Senses sports 28 different sites that evoke a multiplicity of senses — from hospitality, soaring and home cooking, to senses of perspective, speed and colour. The festival is a project of the Calabogie and Area Business Association, which invites participants to enjoy a sense of adventure and family fun. “Itʼs grown from 10 sites originally,” said CABA president Byron Hermann. “Itʼs just an opportunity to see all the things that happen in Calabogie and area, to experience our history, our culture, our heritage.” The sense of hospitality will happen at various sites, like Knautʼs Guesthouse, where the open house offers visits to the guesthouse, a bonfire and free hot chocolate and goodies. The sense of soaring will happen at the Calabogie Highlands Golf Resort, where the driving range wonʼt feature golf balls, but kites. Kite kits and snacks will be available on site for kids and those adults with a sense of playfulness. The sense of home cooking will be experienced at various sites, including Pollyʼs Liʼl

Shanty, which is promoting low-priced festival breakfasts, lunches and dinners. For sense of perspective, try out artist Richard Gillʼs 40th anniversary Landmark show at Bittersweet Gallery and Fog Run Studio in Burnstown. As for sense of speed, the choice is obvious — Calabogie Motorsports Park. Guided laps around the five-kilometre lap were planned, but those had to be cancelled because of conflicting Track Fever motorcycle endurance races Saturday and Sunday. However, Festival of the Senses participants will be admitted free to watch Track Fever and enjoy the Mustangs car display. Colour is just starting to come to township foliage, with autumnʼs official arrival last weekend. But thereʼs also plenty of colour to be found with Bogie Artsʼ exhibition and sale of works by 10 local artists. Their work will be at Barnet Cottage on Calabogie Lake. New or expanded sites include the Merchantsʼ Walk, the Heritage Point Tourist Information Centre and the Stillpoint House of Prayer in Springtown. The latter is an invitation for visitors to discover how they can foster the senses of well-being and serenity. For something on all 28 sites, check out www.festivalofthesenses.ca/sites

SEPTEMBER 28, 1977

HYDRO TO RAISE RATES: Renfrew residents will be paying five to six per cent more for their electric power in 1978, said hydro general manager Ross Young. Initially, Ontario Hydro pro-

jected a provincial 1978 billing increase of 9.5 per cent. However, because of Hydroʼs improved 1977 revenue position, the accumulated excess profits will be used to defer the customerʼs costs in 1978 by decreasing the projected rate by three to four per cent. According to a news release issued by Ontario Hydro, the company was ordered under anti-inflation guidelines established for them by the provincial government, to return the 1977 excessive revenue to the customers. OPPOSES COMMIS-

SION REPORT: The Renfrew County Separate School Board is opposed to certain recommendations made in the Blair Commission report in reform of property taxation. The board expressed concern about the commissionʼs opinion on taxation of school property, concept of market value assessment and method of taxing private schools. In a press release, education director Frank Turner pointed out that the market value of property for residential and farm use is apparently very different from the market

value of expropriated land and could effect the amount of property taxes paid by the school board. The director also called for the definition of the terms “market value” and “Farmer” as they apply to taxation. These concerns, written in a letter, were sent to both the Ontario Government and the Ontario Separate School Trustees Association. Olga Lewis is available to help with research.

Ways to lower car insurance rates at any age Drivers should look for more savings regardless of driver profile. Auto insurance is a major expense in a household budget. While it’s mandatory to have insurance, overpaying is not necessary. There are simple ways of getting a more affordable auto insurance rate, regardless of age or driving experience. NEW DRIVERS Use of a ‘good student discount’ is one way to save on insurance for a young driver. Many insurance companies offer a discount for students who carry a minimum required grade average. Another way to save is by taking a driver education course from an approved school; to learn the rules of the

road. Be sure to inquire about these options, as they may not always be advertised. DRIVERS OVER 25 There may have been some improvement in yearly premiums for drivers with some driving experience. Don’t forget to also ask about further discounts. These may include: installing a security system, driving an eco-friendly car, or installing safety features such as winter tires. If recently married, combine policies with your spouse and take advantage of bulk discounting by having more than one car insured with the company. EXPERIENCED DRIVERS An experienced driver with a good driving record may be eligible for better insurance rates; the key is to find the insurance company that will offer the lowest rate. Shopping around for car insurance is the easiest way to find a better way. Other ways

to save include changing your deductible – perhaps carrying a higher deductible; or, combining home and auto insurance policies with the same insurance company. DRIVERS OVER 55 YEARS Mature drivers over 55 years old may qualify for some of the best rates available. Some insurance companies across Canada specialize in getting the best rates for mature drivers. There are also retirement benefits to keep in mind: no commute distance may mean a lower rate. Make sure the insurance company changes the commuting status to pleasure use. MORE TIPS Remember to review your policy frequently. Tickets come off your driving record in three years from the date that you are convicted and accidents come off in six years. If a ticket or accident has come off your driving record,

check with your insurance company to make sure you’re not still paying for that ticket or accident. If you drive an older car, you may want to remove the collision coverage if you feel that it’s not worth the extra yearly cost to compensate you for your vehicle value. This will reduce your insurance premium. Many car insurance companies may actually offer a lower rate to drivers who pay their premium in full on renewal than to those who choose to pay in installments. Monthly payments often come with fees that are charged on each installment. Paying the whole thing up front is a quick and simple way to pay less. No matter how old you are, it is always a good idea to shop around for a better rate. Quoting sites like ComparaSave.com help drivers find the lowest insurance rate available within their network of over 30 insurance companies.
