Pie celebration for Terry Fox

TIFFANY LEPACK/METROLAND

Students at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic School lean in and watch as Savannah Wagner shows great joy in smooshing the pie into teacher Kyla Halk’s face on Sept. 23. The school held a fundraiser called ‘Toonies for Terry,’ raising $639. Because they surpassed their goal of raising $300, four students got to throw pies in teachers’ faces. For more photos from the school’s Terry Fox Run and pie toss see page 57.

The Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke chapter of the Ontario Landowners Association urges residents to know their rights, especially when it comes to the County of Renfrew’s Official Plan amendments.

More than 200 people attended a meeting hosted by the association on Sept. 23 in Cobden. President Donna Burns says the meeting was very well attended with lots of people really interested in the issue.

Burns says if people don’t want their property included in the new amendments they have to put in a written submission by Sept. 30.

The group has a template on their website www.renfrewlandowners.ca .

“It gives some guidelines on how to word it,” said Burns.

She stressed property owners were never informed of the proposed changes and if they don’t speak up it means they are deemed to have given implied consent to the revised official plan.

“Under legislation, at the municipal level and under the constitution they do not have the authority on private land to exercise their authority without the consent of the owner,” said Burns. “They have to enter into an agreement and the property owner has to be aware.”

The purpose of the meeting was to help people understand the official plan, inform them and encourage them to speak to their local council.

Also speaking at the meeting were association member Ed Kaminskie and Jeff Bogaerts, vice-president of the Ontario Landowners Association.

For more information on the official plan visit http:// www.countyofrenfrew.on.ca/ . Comments must be submitted by Sept. 30 to officialplan@countyofrenfrew. on.ca .

Renfrew residents touched as Gold on the Hill shines light on childhood cancer Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

It was a golden, albeit wet, night for hundreds gathered on Parliament Hill on Sept.

17, including a committed group from Renfrew.

The fourth annual Gold on the Hill event calls for a national strategy for the treatment of childhood cancers and support for families. It aims to bring together national organizations, advocates, politicians and families from across Canada who are united in raising awareness for the need for more research and funding for treatment, according to Jenny Doull, co-founder of the event.

When the Parliament buildings were lit up it was a special moment for the 300 people who braved the weather to see it happen.

“It was a very emotional moment for people who are there and emotionally connected,” said Patti Dillabough. “People become aware that these kids matter. It’s a surreal moment.”

Renfrew was represented by about a dozen people, including Dillabough and her daughter Paige.

“Normally there would have been more but the weather was terrible,” said Patti.

But she said the weather didn’t matter.

“You were there for a reason. It’s amazing to see even with what they are going through and they are there,” said Dillabough. “It’s an amazing event.”

In a Facebook post she stressed ‘Paige was our inspiration! If she could tough it out, we certainly could.’

Paige is a cancer survivor. She was diagnosed when she was eight years old with a malignant brain tumour and underwent years of treatment at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. She is now 22 years old and is very busy giving back to her community.

“She is doing good, she’s a survivor, she has some physical things to deal with,” said

Renfrew was well represented at the Gold on the Hill event at Parliament Hill on Sept. 17 including: Brandan Pecarski, Theresa Paplinskie, Sophia DeCarle, Patti and Paige Dillabough, Daphne Rose and Donna McWhirter. her mom. “She volunteers with the Canadian Cancer Society, speaks in schools and helps get kids involved at Relay for Life time, telling her story.”

Patti says events like this are important because once a family is involved with childhood cancer, those who have been through it become a support group.

“It becomes a focal part in your life and even though Paige is not in treatment, she is in aftercare and is a survivor. You’re still very involved with those people and continue to be involved.”

The event focuses on key issues that affect children with cancer: lack of funding (only three per cent of the budget for cancer research from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research goes to childhood cancer); a lack of cross-country access to treatment; and a need for a national strategy to support survivors.

As her daughter is now in aftercare she sees the need to support survivors.

“Those treatments save children and we

are incredible thankful, but they do create long term side effects that follow that child through life,” said Dillabough. “The push is to get better treatment protocols to cut down on those long term side effects.”

As to the funding she does not think it is enough and calls it a numbers game.

“The number of kids fighting cancer to the number with breast cancer and prostate cancer, they all need funding,” said Dillabough. “It needs to be addressed. They are trying to make sure people in upper government are aware that only three per cent is allocated. The more you bug the more people get it.”

Renfrew was also represented by Sophia DeCarle Miss Teen Ontario east 2016 and the 2016 Ontario East Ambassador Daphnie Rose.

“They were overwhelmed, it had a big impact on them,” said Dillabough. “When it was lit gold they said it was surreal and they called it a life-changing moment.”

Renfrew Fire Department welcomes new recruit Sherry Haaima

Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

James Corriveau’s new job offers him the chance to do two things he loves – work with his hands and help people.

Corriveau, 23, is the newest member of the Renfrew Fire Department. The Rankin, Ont. native has just joined the team in order to fill the hole that will be left with the retirement of veteran firefighter Terry Smith in the coming weeks.

The Renfrew department is not brand new to Corriveau, he completed a contract with the department last year and has nothing but good things to say about those who have become his fire ‘family.’

Corriveau’s first firefighting experience came by way of a co-op placement with the Pembroke Fire Department while he was a student at Opeongo High School.

“After that I went to fire college, pre-service firefighter training at Algonquin College,” he said.

When he graduated, he worked in Hinton, Alta., through a work experience

SHERRY HAAIMA/METROLAND

Twenty-three-year-old James Corriveau is the newest member of the Renfrew Fire Department. program.

What is it about firefighting that drew him?

“It’s an emergency service that really, you’re allowed to use tools still and I really appreciate the ability to go out

in the community and help the general public,” said Corriveau, noting he’s particularly interested in the prevention side of the fire service.

“Just interacting with the public is huge for me,” he said.

“Using tools and being able to work with my hands is great.”

He said he enjoys the op-

portunity to use tools in a skilled way. He’s excited for the chance to push himself and challenge his abilities.

And one day, he wants to look back on his career without regrets. “Whenever I’m done my career and I’m ready to retire I really wanted a career that I was able to look back on and be confident that I definitely spent my time in the work force being as effective as I could,” said Corriveau.

In the past, he has worked for Bell Lumber and just finished working for Coulas Construction.

His work experience has helped prepare him for his new gig in Renfrew, he said.

He’s impressed with the members of the Renfrew Fire Department and pleased to be joining such a supportive team.

“They’re very cohesive and it’s a positive team environment,” he said.

In terms of career highlights, the first fire he attended

in Alberta stands out, not because it was spectacular or particularly memorable, but because it was his first opportunity to respond as a fullytrained firefighter.

A camper had caught fire and spread to the homeowner’s garage. The resident’s home, as well as neighbouring residences, were in jeopardy.

“The neighbour’s house was starting to catch fire and the siding was starting to droop on one side, so we were able to go in and put it out before it engulfed either of the houses,” said Corriveau.

“That was great. It was a really great feeling.”

Outside of firefighting, Corriveau enjoys back country camping, canoeing, hunting and fishing.

He’s thankful for the support of his family, along with his girlfriend Melissa. “She’s been awesome,” he said.

The Renfrew Fire department is made up of 10 fulltime members and 12 volunteers.

Feds protect some lighthouses, but stymie Sand Point upgrading project John Carter

John.carter@metroland.com

The federal government announced last week that it is protecting three more lighthouses by giving them heritage designation.

However, the federal bureaucracy is not making it easy for local lighthouse enthusiasts to protect the lighthouse at Sand Point off River Road.

In fact, a number of restrictions insisted on by federal ministries has a volunteer project to fix up the lighthouse on hold and local politicians completely frustrated.

A volunteer group led by John Brady had proposed to upgrade and paint the lighthouse located on the dock that was once used by the Sand Point-Norway Bay ferry.

The Sand Point Golf Club has promised to donate leftover paint for the project.

However, the project to rescue the lighthouse, which is in danger of falling to pieces, has been stymied in a number of areas. The first issue involved liability insurance for the volunteers, which the federal government insisted was the responsibility of the municipality, even though it doesn’t own the lighthouse.

Then there were restrictions on who could do the painting and what shade of paint should be used (the donated paint was the right colour, sort of, but not the right shade number, so was rejected).

The government also put on limits as to when the work could be done, saying it had to be completed in a fourweek period in the summer.

McNab-Braeside council has been trying to help the volunteers get going on the project since July, noting it

would be a timely one with Canada’s 150th birthday coming up next year.

Mayor Tom Peckett expressed anger and frustration with the delays.

“They (feds) don’t want to spend five cents to fix it up. Yet when volunteers want to fix it for them at no cost to them, all they get is red tape and costs for the municipality.”

“I thought white was white,” said Coun.

Mark MacKenzie, commenting on the paint rejection.

Council finally agreed to spend $150 to provide insurance for the volunteers when they go to work on the lighthouse.

However, with the Aug. 6 deadline to get the work done well past, the project appears stalled again.

After listing to council members’ obvious

frustration, McNab-Braeside resident Martin Wright echoed their concerns.

“I find it so frustrating that when volunteers try to do something in McNab, they so often get cut down by red tape,” he said.

Meanwhile, last week’s announcement brings to 90 the number of lighthouses in eight provinces now protected under the Heritage Lighthouse Protection Act, with more promised.

The three latest lighthouses given protected are in the Maritimes, but in July the Port Stanley lighthouse in Ontario was given heritage status.

Among the 90 heritage lighthouses, 42 are to be managed by the federal government and 48 by new, non-federal owners.

Many community-based organizations and other levels of government are currently

working with Fisheries and Oceans Canada to take over responsibility for the care and protection of many more lighthouses that are important to their communities, says the federal government news release announcing the heritage status.

“Canada’s heritage lighthouses are iconic symbols of our communities and have played a crucial role in keeping mariners safe,” said federal Environment and Climate Change Minister Catherine McKenna, who is responsible for Parks Canada.

“They are also important tourism attractions that contribute to local economies.

Our government is committed to protecting these cultural treasures and I encourage all Canadians to take the opportunity to learn more about our rich and diverse history, including our rich maritime traditions.”

The ‘Stop The Knocks’ campaign to have the provincial government ban unsolicited home energy door-to-door sales in Ontario is growing.

More than 20 municipalities across Ontario have passed resolutions calling for immediate provincial action to ban door-to-door sales of such things as furnaces, water heaters and HVAC and water filtration systems.

“Ontarians overwhelmingly want to see the provincial government act by banning doorto-door sales in the home services sector,” said Mississauga Councillor Karen Ras. “There are just too many bad actors that tarnish the reputation of legitimate companies that do good work,” added Markham Councillor Colin Campbell. “The best way to protect Ontario consumers is to focus on the problem – and that is by banning unsolicited door-todoor sales in this sector.”

“The support from municipal leaders across Ontario has been overwhelming,” said Ras, who helped launch the campaign earlier this spring.

“What we really need now is the new Minister of Consumer and Government Services to listen and take action – this fall – and get a bill passed that bans door to-door sales in the home services sector.”

Complaints about aggressive, misleading, and outright fraudulent sales tactics by some companies that engage in door-to-door sales activities in the home energy services sector has been a growing problem across Ontario over the last few years. Some companies in the industry have continued to mislead, misrepresent, and use tactics of fear and pressure to sell people services they neither need nor want.

Isaac Rudik and Stacie Sommer are just two of many victims of Ontario’s door-to-door home service sellers. They thought that the current consumer protection legislation would

protect them.

“Literally the day after we moved into our new home, someone claiming to be from Enbridge showed up at our door to inspect our equipment, told us our equipment had to be upgraded, and came back the next week to exchange it,” said Isaac Rudik, who along with his partner Stacie Sommer moved to their new home in Vaughan earlier this spring.

“Every one of the so-called protection measures the Province introduced a year ago were broken by the fraudster that came to our door,” said Rudik.

“They even went so far as to impersonate me when speaking with our original provider, and did it after the 20-day cooling off period so that we would be stuck,” added Sommer.

“This is not just a Mississauga or Markham issue, but one that crosses every community in the province, from Thunder Bay to Toronto,” said Campbell.

“I am very disappointed that these companies continue to engage in these deceitful practices. They do not fear prosecution under the current legislation.

“Homeowners must be protected. Only a total ban on their door-to-door activities will achieve this.”

Added Rudik: “The province’s existing legislation doesn’t work – they need to create a ban and stop this nonsense once and for all.”

Rudik has launched a petition on Change. org (http://chn.ge/1SmY9A8) and is encouraging all Ontarians to sign the petition and let their MPPs know that the time for action is now.

Ontarians can also show their support by “liking” the campaign’s Facebook page (www. facebook.com/StopTheKnocks) or by following it on Twitter (www.twitter.com/StopTheKnocks).

Renfrew man charged with drug offences A Renfrew man is facing drug possession and trafficking charges following a bust on Friday, Sept. 16 on Oak Crescent.

On Sept. 16, members of the Organized Crime Enforcement Bureau - Drug Enforcement Unit (DEU), Emergency Response Team (ERT), Tactical Rescue Unit (TRU) and Renfrew OPP detachment executed a controlled drugs and substances act search warrant at a residence on Oak Crescent in Renfrew.

Police located a small amount of cocaine

and six ounces of marijuana.

Paraphernalia indicative of drug trafficking was also seized.

A 24-year-old Renfrew man was arrested and charged with possession of controlled scheduled I substance, possession for the purpose of trafficking of controlled scheduled II substance and failing to comply with an undertaking.

The man was released on a promise to appear in court and is scheduled to appear in Renfrew court on Oct. 26.

No Frills owners sale benefits Bonnechere Manor The Bonnechere Manor Foundation was the recipient of the recent Sterling’s No Frills Owners Sale. Owners Mike and Kim Sterling were pleased with the effort of their cashiers and staff to notify shoppers of the charity receiving the donations.

The charity selected for the owners sale is “always hand-chosen to support our local community and [we] are always very successful, we have our customers and our staff to thank for that,” said Kim. “We appreciate the support of both customers and cashiers for a job well done.”

The owners sale was successful in raising $5,543.20, which will go towards the home’s palliative care program.

Bonnechere Manor, a municipal long-term care home, was established in 1958 in the Town of Renfrew. Comprised of 178 long-term care beds and two short-stay beds, the home is located at 470 Albert St. With more than 50 years of dedicated service, Bonnechere Manor continues to provide resident-centered care.

Algonquin College celebrates another record enrolment Algonquin College has a great deal to celebrate as it approaches its 50th anniversary in 2017, including a record enrolment at its Waterfront Campus in Pembroke.

More than 950 full-time students are registered at the campus where classes started Sept.

6 for the fall term.

Campus dean Karen Davies said the increased enrolment is a clear demonstration of the vibrancy of the campus.

“When we opened the Waterfront Campus five years ago, we had a vision to grow our enrolments and create a destination campus that would attract both local and visiting students.

That has certainly materialized as we are now attracting almost 50 per cent of our students from outside of Renfrew County.

“It’s an exciting time for our campus and the greater community,” said Davies.

The Pembroke campus is the largest of Algonquin College’s regional campuses and offers 19 full-time programs, ranging from the skilled trades to health sciences. Nursing continues to be the program with the largest enrolment with

MacLaren Orchards

more than 180 students in the four-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree, offered in collaboration with the University of Ottawa.

The Outdoor Adventure program has the largest first year group with almost 80 students.

Across all programs, there are about 600 firstyear and more than 350 returning students.

From humble beginnings with only 16 students in its first year of operation in 1967, the Pembroke campus has gradually grown to become one of Ontario’s largest regional college campuses.

In addition to its full-time programs, the campus also offers academic upgrading classes and apprenticeship training, as well as continuing education courses in the evening and on weekends.

Three new full-time programs are planned for the fall of 2017: Urban Forestry-Arboriculture, Action Sports Park Development and Applied Nuclear Operations and Radiation Safety.

The launch of these programs is expected to push the campus enrolment to more than 1,000 full-time students.

Hi, I’m Bronx. I am a boxer mix breed, approximately 11 months old and have recently been neutered. I am a very energetic dog and love playing with most other dogs that I encounter. However, I sometimes get too excited when playing with others and can be aggressive with my dog friends. I am also a bit of an escape artist and have been known to climb even the tallest of fences.

That being said, you will need to supervise me while outside, especially if I am not on a leash. I love being around my caregivers and am both loyal and affectionate. I am looking not only for a new owner but my best friend.

My ideal owner would have experience with large do breeds like me and the ability to provide me with lots of exercise. It is also important that I go to a dog, cat and children home as I will learn better under these circumstances.

I know I am not perfect but I really want to learn how to be a good dog.Thus, my ideal owner would also have the time and be willing to train me under the guidance of a trainer.

If you were also looking for your best friend and believe we would be a good fit, e-mail valleyanimalrescue@hotmail.com to adopt me!

Come and enjoy good company and great eats at the Valley Animal Rescue Spay-Ghetti No Balls Fundraising Dinner on October 27 from 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #148, 30 Raglan Street, Renfrew.

Your meal will include your spaghetti dinner, a roll, caesar salad, and homemade dessert.

Tickets are just $15 per adult and $8 for children 12 and under.

A 50/50 draw will also take place!

OPINION

Connected to your community

Discouraging violence everyone’s duty Most Renfrew County residents remember what they were doing on Sept. 22, 2015, a beautiful last day of summer in the Valley. A beautiful day, that is, until the shocking news began to circulate that three woman had been found murdered in the usually peaceful laid-back backwoods of the county.

A year to the day later, Anastasia Kuzyk, Nathalie Warmerdam and Carol Culleton were remembered and honoured in an achingly sad memorial service at the Renfrew County Women’s Monument in Petawawa.

Their memories also loomed large at the Renfrew County Take Back the Night march in that evening in Eganville.

Speakers at both events expressed frustration that little has improved when it comes to deterring violence against women, especially in the rural areas.

Unfortunately the local OPP reports and scanner broadcasts are too often dominated by domestic abuse calls. Of course, not all abusers are men, but certainly the vast majority are.

There are many reasons why this area is prone to violence against women. Poverty, mental illness, self-loathing, an ‘old boys’ attitude, lack of respect and compassion, refusal to take responsibility for one’s actions.

It’s not an easy problem to tackle, but any remedies have to focus on both the abusers and the victims.

The law has to take a stronger stand with abusers. It’s infuriating that the convicted abuser charged with the triple murders was able to break his parole conditions time and time again

without any repercussions. No wonder domestic violence is rampant when the perpetrators can thumb their noses at court rulings and restraining orders.

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski is trying to tighten up the system with his Private Member’s Bill that would compel inmates to sign their certificate of parole before they are released back into the community and require electronic monitoring for offenders who are convicted of sexual or domestic assault. Hopefully, his bill will pass or the province will come up with one of its own.

If those in positions of power don’t take the crime seriously, no wonder so many victims are left feeling the abuse is their fault. And it’s inexcusable that is allowed to happen.

While putting some teeth into the laws will help, what is really needed is a widespread shift of attitude.

Strict rules and enforcement can assist schools in addressing the problem of bullying, but what really works is having the students themselves embrace the no tolerance approach.

If we are to makes strides in deterring violence against women, we all need to adopt a no tolerance stance to shame and shun the abusers.

Family, friends and society as a whole need to speak up and impress on abusers their actions are not acceptable. No more sitting back in silence and allowing this scourge to continue.

Then maybe one day the monuments to survivors of abuse can host celebrations instead of melancholy gatherings lamenting the lack of progress in keeping women safe from violence.

Hats off to helpful members of Renfrew fire department Breast cancer bra tree organizer needed

To the editor:

I would like to thank Renfrew firemen Mark and Jesse for helping me out of a situation at the fair on Saturday night (Sept.

10). I went to their fire truck and I told Mark my situation. He asked his partner Jesse if he could help me.

Instead of doing what most firemen would do in a city or larger towns, where some people or other public service professional person would go and tell me to call 911 for assistance, Jesse took the time and came to my car with me and looked at my problem.

He went to the rides to find what he needed to fix my problem. When Jesse found what he needed he came back to my car, where I was in the handicapped area and within a couple of minutes Jesse had my car

fixed all together.

To come to my car and see my problem and go to find the tool he needed took him 30 minutes. His partner Mark stayed at the truck himself while Jesse helped me.

My problem had nothing to do with a fire, which these two firefighters are trained to do and save lives and buildings, plus our beautiful forests, in our area.

They went out of their way to help me.

I have heard citizens’ comment a couple of times (younger people) say firemen are overpaid for what they do. They’re not looking at the whole picture.

At my age and all the travelling I’ve done, the only time I saw a dusty or muddy fire truck was when coming from a gravel side road from a house or barn on fire. I never saw a dirty fire truck pulling out from the

station.

Do the people who think the firemen and women don’t earn their pay, why not think of when there’s no fires to go to. Who keeps all the equipment and trucks, etc. clean and ready to pull out fully equipped and clean?

If they save one family or so from a house fire or an accident on our roads, just one in a year, ask that family if they think firemen or OPP or local public workers, fire hydrants, sewers etc. are overpaid.

Maybe you will have a different opinion on our safety and public workers who are committed to their work and at times go out of their way like firemen Mark and Jesse did for me Saturday night from 7:45 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. my hat is off to them for thanking them for what they did for me.

To the editor:

Due to illness I am unable to do the bra tree this year and wondered if there is anyone interested in taking on this project. I have all supplies that are necessary as well as numbers to call.

If there is no one interested in doing this, might I suggest that the people who complained about the tree and suggested pink bows, you should step up to the plate and start making bows right away. If they are not willing to do this then there will be no recognition of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month as I was the only one doing anything about it. I have also never had breast cancer or lost anyone extremely close to me. I am just a concerned citizen.

I can be reached at 432-1485. I’ll be waiting for your calls.

Five seconds can save your life: OPP Murder victims remembered, MP reintroduces parole bill Staff

On the first anniversary of the slaying of three Renfrew County women, the efforts to protect women from such violence continues.

On Sept. 22, 2015, the killings of Anastasia Kuzyk, Carol Culleton and Nathalie Warmerdam stunned Renfrew County residents. Basil Borutski was charged with the murders and is being held in custody pending a trail next September, almost two years after the crime.

In the provincial Legislature on Sept. 22, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski reintroduced his Private Member’s Bill that aims to help keep victims of a violence crime safer by compelling inmates to sign their certificate of parole before they are released back into the community.

To also mark the one-year anniversary of the horrific murders, a memorial service was held at the Women’s Monument in Petawawa. As well, the annual Renfrew County Take Back the Night march, held in Eganville last Thursday, was given special meaning by its date.

At the Petawawa memorial, feminist lawyer Pamela Cross addressed the issue of violence against women and there was a moment of silence, a laying of roses and the planting of three trees to honour the three victims.

Meanwhile, in a news release, Yakabuski noted that he often hears from residents who want greater accountability placed on parolees so that their victims are safer.

“It is unacceptable that a year has past since Anastasia Kuzyk, Nathalie Warmerdam, and Carol Culleton were taken from us, yet the government has not passed legislation to strengthen our parole system,” he said.

“Government must take this matter seriously and acknowledge there

The deaths of 347 unbuckled vehicle occupants in Ontario Provincial Police (OPP)-investigated collisions over the past five years have the OPP calling on drivers and passengers to help them conduct a successful province-wide fall seat belt campaign.

Between 2011 and 2015, the OPP investigated more than 360,000 fatal and non-fatal motor vehicle collisions. In response to these incidents, officers have had to rescue thousands of victims amid the wreckage. As first responders and collision subject matter experts, they know that a road crash – even a low speed crashis an uncompromising ordeal for vehicle occupants.

are ways to provide greater protection to victims of violence - anything less is unacceptable.”

Yakabuski pointed out that currently the Ministry of Correctional Services Act allows for inmates to be granted parole even when they refuse to sign their certificates of parole.

The triple homicides that took place in Renfrew County a year ago was just such a scenario, he said.

According to media reports, the accused refused to sign this document and never admitted wrongdoing for previous offences.

Children Activities

New town recreation program welcomes seniors and youth Staff

The Town of Renfrew has launched a number of fall programs; including one that will bring together two different generations.

Kids young and old, specifically ages seven to 12 and all seniors 50+, are invited to a weekly outing that is sure to show that fun has no age limit.

The program runs every Tuesday night from Oct. 4 to Dec. 6 at Renfrew Collegiate Institute from 6:15 to

7:45 p.m.

They will play games, crafts and special guests that are ‘designed to close the generation gap and create some lasting positive relationship through play.’

To register for this free class please register in person at the Town of Renfrew Recreation Centre, 67 Argyle St. South or online at the parks and recreation department tab at www.town. renfrew.on.ca or by calling 613-4323131.

They also know that not wearing a seat belt is a game changer when it comes to your chances of surviving a crash and reducing the severity of your injuries. “Every year, our officers tend to crash victims of all ages who are not buckled in at the time of the collision. More often than not, they die as a result of being ejected,

partially ejected or from the physical trauma they sustained inside the vehicle. Fortunately, our officers have also witnessed numerous victims survive their ordeal as a result of being restrained in their seat. Every life is worth the five seconds it takes to buckle up,” said OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair.

Victorian Tea Oct. 3 Tiffany Lepack tlepack@metroland.com

It’s tea time!

The 11th annual ‘Golden Apples and Silver Pictures’ Victorian Tea, sponsored by Community Living Renfrew County South will be held Oct. 3.

The event will take place at the Renfrew Armouries at 115 Veterans Memorial Blvd. from 7 to 9 p.m. Each year the proceeds from the event go to a different not-for-profit organization and this year money raised will go to support the Golden Age Activity Centre in downtown Renfrew. One of the many organizers is Gloria Tunn and she says they are still in need of a few more things to make the event a success.

“Hopefully we acquire more hostesses,” Tunn said in an email to the Renfrew Mercury. “More hostesses means more money for our charity.”

This year they have a number of special guests lined up for the event.

“We have the Valley Harmonizers entertaining us, as well as the Valley Booters who will be doing some line dancing,” said Tunn. “There is a fashion show and door prizes. There are also a couple of surprises in store for the evening.”

Tickets are only $10 and can be purchased from a hostess or for more information call Tunn at 613-4327529.

WI through the years Bromley Historical Society

The Bromley Historical Society is pleased to invite the public to a presentation on the Women’s Institute – its history and impact. The talk will be given by Christine Reaburn, who currently holds the position of Tweedsmuir co-ordinator, and is on the United Nations committee of the ACWW (Associated Country Women of the World).

“In Renfrew County, the Women’s Institute began in Beachburg in 1904,” said Reaburn recently. “From the very beginning, this organization, which was founded in Canada, had as its goal to work with and for women.

It gave women a voice in both cities and in towns and dealt with issue of importance to them.” Although in earlier decades, the women’s institutes in Renfrew County were more numerous, the 11 chapters that exist today continue to work in their communities, developing skills of women and assisting those in need or who are sick.

Please join us Saturday, Oct. 1, at 2 p.m. at the Old Town Hall in Osceola, 498 Micksburg Rd. Refreshments will follow the presentation.

ADVERTORIAL

Look Beyond Boutique masks illness with elegance To say Linda Morin is a ‘survivor’ is merely scratching the surface.

Survival was just her beginning. In a matter of three years, she eclipsed life-threatening illness and recovery, only to become a stronger, more defined and self-directed woman.

The transition led to her open the Look Beyond Mastectomy Boutique at 2039 Robertson Road in Bells Corners.

As much as the store caters to women who are undergoing treatment and the aftermath of a battle with cancer, it’s also a place of refuge and support, learning and understanding. A place where cancer combatants can gather strength from kindred spirit. A place where the demon within doesn’t win.

Superficially, Linda has survived the surgeon’s scalpel for breast cancer, ovarian cancer and related illnesses.

All the time she was unknowingly preparing herself for a new life, one where she could share her experiences and knowledge gained with others following similar paths.

“Through therapy and treatment, I found the courage to look beyond, to never give up on myself.”

Today she stands proud and confident, a cancer survivor and mentor to those at any stage of the journey. Her welcoming and comforting shop is a place where disease is masked with wigs, make up and accessories that enhance the physique and create an inner peace with self esteem.

Clients are invited to sample a wide variety of clothing designed to disguise illness with elegance and create an image previously lost in trauma and malady.

Not only does Look Beyond Mastectomy Boutique offer a wide range of clothing and accessory

options, Linda has made the store into a “wellness centre” with free lectures on healing available for anyone who can benefit from the information being shared. In the month ahead, Look Beyond Mastectomy Boutique will host seminars on fighting cancer, dealing with menopause, pelvic exercises, yoga and more.

“It’s all about learning to love the most amazing person of all—you!” emphasizes Linda.

All classes are free of charge and take place before or after regular store hours. In October, Linda is planning a “feel good” day where participants will receive a makeover, consultation and advice on various cancer-related challenges. The event will culminate with a “cancer survivor” fashion show, for which Linda is currently seeking models.

In addition to operating the Look Beyond Mastectomy Boutique, Linda Morin is a celebrated author, the first to reveal her body and the story of her road to recovery to the general public following her double mastectomy.

“I knew in my heart that it was something I had to do for all women who have suffered physical and emotional pain from the consequences of cancer.”

Her book ‘The Courage to Look Beyond” has become an international bestseller, offering guidance and support to countless people on similar journeys.

“It’s almost unbelievable to think that a tragic illness changed my life for the better, but I am proud and happy to say it’s true.”

To learn more, call Linda at 613-4224331 or online at lookbeyond.ca.

Look Beyond Mastectomy Boutique is open Mon-Fri 10 am to 6 pm and Saturday 10 am to 2 pm.

Linda Morin welcomes everyone to her new shop Look Beyond Mastectomy Boutique at 2039 Robertson Road in Bells Corners.

The Look Beyond Mastectomy Boutique has a wide variety of clothing, accessories, wigs and more to help women regain their self-esteem before, during and after cancer treatment.

Nominations sought for Warden’s awards The County of Renfrew Warden’s Community Service Awards are a meaningful way to recognize and thank an individual, not-forprofit business and for-profit business for their contributions to their communities.

The annual award program started last year is now accepting nominations from around the county. Individuals step up in many ways to improve and strengthen the quality of life enjoyed in the Ottawa Valley, doing such things as participating in and organizing community events, devoting their time and energy to politics, supporting social support organizations, coaching and managing sports clubs and teams, and celebrating culture and heritage.

For-profit businesses are significant contributors to community well-being. Many sponsor sports teams and youth groups, support charity events and contribute to the arts and culture.

The warden’s award is an opportunity to have these valuable corporate citizens recognized and acknowledged for their good deeds.

Not-for-profit business organizations in Renfrew County contribute to and assist community members facing a wide range of challenges, often offering services and support to

those most in need.

“These awards recognize and promote the outstanding efforts by community champions in Renfrew County for their active roles with social responsibility and community contributions,” said Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon.

“I look forward to publicly acknowledging the excellence of these organizations and individuals for their efforts to making Renfrew County a better place to live, work and play.”

Conservative defence committee members Cheryl Gallant, James Bezan (third from left) and Pierre Paul-Hus (second from right) at CFB Shearwater with a new CH-148 Cyclone helicopter.

Arrival of new rescue helicopters delights MP Canada’s aging Sea King Fleet of rescue helicopters has finally been replaced and Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant couldn’t be happier.

Gallant, the vice-chair of the Standing Committee on National Defence, visited CFB Shearwater in Nova Scotia to see the new Cyclone helicopters recently.

“I was pleased to see firsthand that the replacement our Conservative Government ordered for Sea Kings, the CH-148 Cyclone, are being delivered and training is underway,” said Gallant in a news release.

“Mission accomplished.”

Helicopters are stationed on our ships to detect and deter foreign submarine activity in Canadian waters.

They are also used for search and rescue as well as catching drug runners “The Royal Canadian Navy is presently working with the manufacturer to ensure they will have all the features and equipment necessary to carry out their vital mission as a developmental project,” reported Gallant.

She said the Conservative Government had new aircraft, the EH-101s, lined up for the Sea Kings in 1987.

However, that contract was cancelled in 1994 by the Liberals, “leaving the Royal Canadian Navy with aging helicopters and no replacement in sight,” she said.

“It was our Conservative government that ensured the Maritime Helicopter Project is finally a reality.”

Groundhogs also eat acorns they find on the ground. Right, this female Mallard was devouring acorns dropped to the ground by squirrels.

Not only squirrels go nuts over acorns

Every Tuesday I lead an early morning bird walk at Carleton University for interested students.

Carleton is ideally situated for such outings because the Rideau River runs alongside it, and within short walking distance reside Brewer Park and the Arboretum, both excellent places for seeing birds.

We start by scanning the Rideau River for ducks, herons and gulls. On this past week’s outing, we didn’t have to look at the water to find ducks.

We came across a dozen Mallards and a couple of Wood Ducks under a large oak tree near the river. The birds were busily picking up acorns from the ground with their bills. The acorns were there courtesy of Gray Squirrels that were up high in the tree harvesting them.

Some acorns would get knocked down because of their efforts, but others were deliberately sent on a downward journey. If a cluster of acorns hung from the tip of a thin branch, a squirrel would nip off that branch and let it fall to the ground. Later it would scuttle down the tree, retrieve its prize, and scamper off to cache it. That is if the ducks hadn’t beaten it to it.

You might be surprised to learn that some ducks eat acorns. In fact, Wood Ducks regularly eat them, even landing in oak trees to access them.

Mallards, however, prefer to stay on the ground. As you know, acorns are hard objects, and to access the seed hidden inside the tough outer shell an animal requires specialized equipment.

Squirrels possess powerful, sharp incisors that do the job quite nicely. But Mallards and Wood Ducks, like all birds, don’t have teeth,

and their bills are adapted for filtering organic matter from water, not for crushing or slicing.

Ducks were not the only animals exploiting the efforts NEW STEEL ROOF - NEVER NEEDS REPLACING of squirrels. Eastern Chipmunks were seen $254,000 running off with fallen acorns.

And to my complete surprise we watched a Groundhog scamper towards the tree, put its head to the ground, and come up with an acorn clenched in its mouth. It then sat up on its haunches and began nibbling it!

I‘d never seen a Groundhog eat acorns, but when I checked the literature to see if they were a known dietary item, I found that they were.

And that makes sense, for acorns contain a lot of fat, and Groundhogs need to fatten up before their winter hibernation.

Nature is full of surprising interactions.

The Township is conducting strategic planning activities and we would like to hear from all Greater Madawaska Residents.

Please take our short online survey found at www.greatermadawaska.com to provide important feedback that will contribute to the long term success of Greater Madawaska.

During Fall 2016 the information will be accumulated and presented in a final report to Council in December.

The following survey is one of the ways to inform the public the plan and our Township.

Renfrew Minor Baseball Association would like to take this opportunity to thank the Community and surrounding area for their support during the Ontario Little League Minor Provincials. This was a new venture for our organization, which I think we had well organized. We really could not have managed without the support of the following: Deslaurier Custom Cabinets, Pacific Safety Products Inc, Ontario Power Generation, Canadian Tire, Play It Again Sports, Days Inn,TF Custom Signs, KE Electrical, Renfrew Self Storage & UHaul, Odi`s Kingburger, Scott Shoes, High Five Acres, Chantal Lavigne Appraisial Services, Preston Cull Auction Services, Logos Land Resort, Quality Inn, Rocky Mountain House, Downtown Renfrew BIA, Sun life Financial, Davtech Analytical Services, Laurier Optical, My Secret Delights, Toronto Dominion Bank, Renfrew Lions Club, Melcher Heating & Cooling, Protyre, Barker`s Collision , Tom Prince Motors, Draperies Plus, and Home Sweet Hair, Grant Crozier, Fiebig Trophy and Engraving, Draperies Plus, Renfrew Pizzeria and the Renfrew Fire Department.

A very special Thank you goes out to Metroland Media, who helped us promote the Provincials and did an amazing job.

Also to TV Cogeco who ran stories leading up to our event. A extra special Thanks to Chris Kyte from MYFM, who was an amazing MC during the opening and for the week of the games.

The Renfrew Recreation Fundraising Committee who purchased and installed our beautiful new scoreboard which we will get a lot of use over the upcoming years. Kevin Hill and the Recreation and Maintenance men who helped oversee the installation and made the diamonds look amazing for our regular season and especially during the Provincials where they had a lot of extra upkeep before, in between and after games. These gentlemen also helped set up our banquet hall and looked after us extremely well.

We have had a lot of great and positive response to hosting the Provincials in our little community and the other Districts who came to visit can`t wait until we host the next. A heartfelt thank you sent to all who contributed.

A Walnut Sphinx moth, ‘a face that only a moth-er could love’.

‘Moths at large’ topic for Macnamara naturalists Oct. 4 meeting Karen Runtz

Macnamara Naturalists

When it comes to moths, the up-close truth can be stranger than science fiction.

Take the rather plain-at-first-glance Walnut Sphinx moth that Jim des Rivières collected at Crosby, Ontario - a specimen in his ‘Faces that only a moth-er could love’ gallery.

Viewing a close-up of the moth, one can imagine the terror of confronting a 10-foot version of the nocturnal hairy winged six-legged creature with its bulbous eyes, feathered antennae and ready proboscis in the dark. Yet in reality, its wingspan is a mere two inches.

The fine details of such creatures are hidden from most of us. But des Rivières, an Ottawa-based photographer and fine art printer, produces large format images allowing viewers to see moths and butterflies without need of a magnifying glass.

For several years he has been photographing local moths and butterflies, but mainly moths. Working with dried specimens, he captures high resolution digital images directly with a desktop flatbed scanner, from which he makes large prints using an inkjet printer.

The large prints allow the viewer to see the creature close up without need of a magnifying glass. This reveals a marvellous world of intricate shapes, structures and colours that surprise and delight viewers of all ages.

And young and old alike will have the chance to visit des Rivères’ special world when he “shows and tells” at the Macnamara Field Naturalists’ Club meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 4.

Des Rivères is best known for his exhibit of 45 large format moth images first shown at Ottawa’s Canadian Museum of Nature in 2010 and currently touring nature museums in cities across Canada and the U.S., including New York City, Edmonton and Saint John.

In this presentation he will run through the stages involved in producing these works of art on paper, and showcase some of his favourite local moths.

You can see some of his Ottawa images at moths.ca.

Don’t miss: Moths at Large.

When: Tuesday, Oct. 4, 7:30 p.m.

Where: Arnprior Curling Club, 15 Galvin St., Arnprior.

Cost: Meetings (and presentations) are free for Macnamara club members and $5 for guests. Students are welcome to attend for free.

GRAND ROUNDS Calling all spirited curlers!

Don’t SKIP out—the second annual YPC bonspiel is set for October 28 and 29 at the Renfrew Curling Club.

The fundraiser organized by the RVH Young Professionals Committee (YPC) is inviting anyone interested in participating to sign up for the event. They are also encouraging everyone to come dressed for the occasion.

This year, the bonspiel will be a two-day Halloweenthemed extravaganza.

“Our goal is to surpass the $3,000 we raised last year,” comments Dr. Lauren Scott, one of the YPC members.

“We’re lucky that people in our community love to support the efforts of the RVH Foundation and the Renfew Curling Club are really great hosts to us for the weekend.”

Most teams are slotted to only play on Saturday, but some will be scheduled for Friday evening.

Prizes will be awarded for best team costume, worst curling team and best curling team.

The cost is $50 per player; the fee includes two games of curling, a spaghetti dinner on Saturday night and live music afterward.

Entertainment will be provided by local talents, Mister & his Sister and Yan-Nick Michaud.

Non-curlers are welcome to take in the show after 8 p.m. for $5.

“We’re all looking forward to another great tournament.

Everyone is welcome to play and most curlers we had out last year for the tournament were beginners or had never curled before—we know it will be much of the same again this year. It’s all about having fun and doing what we can for the hospital,” says Hannah MacMillian, another YPC member.

MacMillian adds that nearly half of the spaces are already sold out. To register for the bonspiel, contact Hannah at 613-432-4851 ext. 312, or Lauren at 613-431-7272.

Dr. Lucas Regier, Hannah MacMillan, Kelley Lemenchick, Ashley Homsma, Kaitlyn Arbuthnot and Dr. Lauren Scott are ready for the second annual YPC bonspiel, which will be held October 28 and 29 at the Renfrew Curling Club.

To set up a monthly giving plan, contact the Foundation at 613-432-4851 ext. 276

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, September 29, 2016 23

Musical comedy tour could raise more than $25,000 for local hospitals Last week, Stone Fence Theatre staff met with fundraisers for Ottawa Valley hospitals to plan a tour of its new show.

The show is called: High Times at the Heart Institute, with hopes to raise at least $25,000 for health care.

The play, written by the company’s producer Ish Theilheimer and directed by Chantal Elie-Sernoskie, celebrates Canada’s health care system and takes a humorous look at aging Boomers coming to terms with mortality.

“It was inspired by my own personal experience as a patient at the Ottawa Heart Institute,” says Theilheimer.

“I have been so impressed by the care and service I’ve received both at the Institute and at all the local hospitals that are tied in with it.”

The tour begins with two supper shows in the company’s home venue, the Eganville Community Centre. After that, it goes on the

road with theatre-style seating and no catering at shows.

FIRST STOP RENFREW

The first stop on the tour is the Renfrew Recreation Centre on Oct. 21 and 22.

Barb Desilets at Renfrew Victoria Hospital, which has provided many of the costumes for the show, is looking forward to the event.

“RVH is excited to be part of this project and looking forward to the production coming to Renfrew.

Ish and his team have been working very hard and want to raise awareness and funds for healthcare facilities in our area.

We are encouraging our community to come out and show gratitude by supporting this event. Sounds like it will be very entertaining?”

The tour then moves to the stage at MVDHS in Barry’s Bay on Oct. 29. Toni Lavigne-Conway of the St. Frances Valley Healthcare Foundation in Barry’s Bay, expects a full

house there.

“We are delighted to be a part of this great fundraising partnership and initiative that will benefit local health care including the invaluable Cardiac Rehab Program running at St. Francis Memorial Hospital,” said Lavigne-Conway.

“It benefits so many, eliminating the drive to the city that used to be required to participate in a program like this.”

PERFORMANCES

After that it goes to Childs Auditorium at Mackenzie High School in Deep River on Nov. 12; Calvin United Church in Pembroke on Nov. 18 and 19, the Old Town Hall Theatre in Almonte on Nov. 26 and the Helenic Centre in Ottawa on Jan. 20 and 21. Plans are in the works, as well, for a tour stop in Almonte in spring.

The show’s plot involves four heart patients who find themselves thrust together by their health is-

Stone Fence Theatre producer and playwright Ish Theilheimer is in good hands with the fundraisers from Ottawa Valley hospitals, which his play High Times at the Heart Institute will be benefitting as it tours the Valley this fall and winter.

RENFREW RESIDENTS SENTENCED TO KINGSTON PEN On Wednesday, September 21st, 2016, Raymond and Elle Vidler of Renfrew Metro Store and Ken and Amy Rule of Rocky Mountain House Restaurant were sentenced by Judge Breen to 90 minutes in Kingston Pen for displaying great generosity and love of their fellowman.

One of the great benefits of living in a small Valley town like Renfrew is the fact that when someone needs a helping hand, the residents are willing and able to help out.

Steve and Joan Ride are overwhelmed with the financial assistance provided to them by the little lottery to tour the Infamous Kinston Pen. Steve has been diagnosed and is successfully undergoing treatment for bone cancer which has necessitated temporary leave from his employment with Valley Renfrew Rite Ltd. They wish to say “THANK YOU” for all the generous votes of support shown by their Merchants and Friends in Renfrew and Area!

GOD BLESS! Steve and Joan Ride

sues.

They include Bobby (John Haslam) and Wendy (Fran Pinkerton), two aging rock and rollers and exes who can’t stand each other, leftwing cynic Arthur (Peter Brown), and Tea Party American Maggie (Lesley Sneddon), whose health insurance company leaves her high and dry.

Toni (Shirley Hill), a stressed-out and overworked nurse tries to cope with all their needs. In the end, Wendy uses a secret from her old hippie days to save the day. Conrad Boyce, Nigel Epps, Cathy Lyons, Elaine Neigel make up the chorus, known as “The Interns.”

Derek Tollhurst plays bass, Evan Burgess plays guitar, and Theilheimer plays percussion in the show.

TICKETS

Supper show tickets in Eganville cost $39.82 for the preview on Oct. 1 and $45.13 for the opening on Oct. 15, which features an appearance from Dr. Wilbert Keon, a native of Chapeau who founded the Ottawa Heart Institute.

All other shows - which are uncatered - cost $25.66 per ticket. HST is charged on all tickets, with proceeds after expenses going to support the hospitals in towns being visited and the Heart Institute.

“If we fill all the halls we visit, we’ll raise at least $25,000 for local health care,” said Theilheimer.

“And at each show, the local hospitals and the Heart Institute will be able to tell their stories, which are very important.

I think people will find it a great way to combine a good time and a good cause.”

Tickets for all shows are available from Stone Fence Theatre’s box office at 613-628-6600 or, toll-free, 1-866-310-1004, online at www. stonefence.ca or from local outlets in the towns the tour is visiting.

RAG focuses on social media

Learn more. Have your say.

Renfrew Art Guild

Social media is the key word these days. Our world has changed so fast. Disasters, uprisings or anything happening worldwide is immediately on everyone’s cell phone or computer. Emails are now almost obsolete. I find that people text me rather than e-mail.

The only emails are from the newspaper (we read online now), bank, telephone bill and other financial businesses.

That is today and what will tomorrow bring? It used to be when you were advertising an upcoming art show the media of choice was paper and radio and if the budget allowed TV. Well that is even changing. Many are relying on social media - Facebook, Twitter and others.

That is why we have invited Tracy Franken to come and talk to the Renfrew Art Guild (RAG) about the world of Facebook.Tracy Franken is the owner (she calls herself pack leader/owner) of Beyond Obedience, a dog training facility outside of Arnprior. Tracy is also mother, and a successful Toastmasters participant. You ask what does that have to do with art? Not a thing but Tracy has learned the benefit Facebook (FB) in advertising her business. She brings the FB audience into her training circle ‘live,’ showing people exactly what she has to offer. She will be talking to us about what we can do as artists to make social media work for us. Most artists do not know how to promote ourselves.

This might be a tool that could work for you. If you have a friend in a small business, invite them to come along to the meeting as they might learn a few tricks.

Upcoming events, members Jill Alexander, Diana Wakely and friend Bonnie Zimmerling will be exhibiting at the Renfrew Library starting Oct. 1 as part of the big celebrations during the month of October. The exhibit is called ‘Creative Minds Think Differently.’ Jill and Diana have interpreted Bonnie’s photos in their style of painting.

Hope you get to the library and see this exhibit.

The guild welcomes everyone to the meetings. We meet the first Tuesday of the month at Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church, 291 Plaunt St. (please use the Quarry Avenue entrance) at 7 p.m.

As the RAG gets into full swing we want to say welcome to Jack Stekelenburg who has agreed to be chairman.

Thanks Jack for stepping up. Thank you to Fred Halliwell for all the work he did as chair. Next meeting is Oct. 4 at 7 p.m., coffee will be served.

For more information call Diana 613-433-3635

Bishop Water Technologies Inc. wins Entrepreneur of the Year award A business offering unique innovative solutions to environmental challenges has earned the title Entrepreneur of the Year, an award given out annually by Community Futures Ontario.

Kevin Bossy and Mike Roberts are the co-owners of Bishop Water Technologies in Renfrew, which is a leader in clean-tech waste management specializing in sludge and slurry management for municipalities and industries including food production, pulp and paper, mining and agriculture and aquaculture. Change is constant and with today’s technology change is happening more rapidly than ever; however this has not been the case with the wastewater industry. Controlling the power of water is a daunting task, but that’s exactly what Bishop Water Technologies is doing using Geotube® technology.

The ability of Bishop Water Technologies to modify the waste treatment flow within an existing footprint rather than the need for a new facility allows municipality or the business to achieve higher levels of treatment at a lower cost.

These entrepreneurs were chosen from several nominees, all successful businesses that received loans and counselling from CFDCs. Bishop Water Technologies won the prestigious award because of their innovative work.

They have been recognized over the years with many awards; most recently the 2015 Minister’s Award for Environmental Excellence. Bishop Water Technologies was nominated by the Renfrew County Community Futures Development Corporation.

“Bishop Water Technologies has worked with upwards of 25 large and small communities and municipalities creating innovative and cost effective solutions for them,” said Diane McKinnon, executive director of the Renfrew County CFDC. “Their commitment to going over and above for their clients and the communities they serve makes us proud to have been able to work with them to help make it happen.”

Veteran pair stage double feat at duplicate bridge Lewis MacDonald

Jeannie Yagminas and Eleanor Thompson, both American Contract League Bridge (ACBL) Life Masters, showed how it’s done Sept. 21 at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre as they finished first in their East-West position and also made the only grand slam of the eleven-table afternoon.

Their seven spades was made on Board 14. Board 14 saw five small slams as well. Yolande Baillon and Bette Rowe made 6 No Trump, as did Sharon and Tom Sewter.

Bringing home six spades were the teams of Diane Gilman and Bernadette Culhane, as well as Peter Phillips and Guy Vaillancourt.

Ronda Vaillancourt and Lila Pad-

dock rounded out the small slam action with a six clubs contract. Kudos to all the pairs.

In the Chalk Talk preceding the afternoon’s play, Wayne Daze tackled the convention known as the negative double. The negative double is distinct from the take-out double or penalty double and is always a tool only of the responder to an overcall of partner’s opening bid.

The negative double lets responder show a major suit when her count is less than a medium hand or she doesn’t have a five-card major suit or both. Simply put, following a onelevel opening bid and a suit overcall, responder’s double shows four cards in any unbid major suit. The responder could have as low as six

points but there is no upper limit.

Congratulations to the Sept. 21 winners: North-South • First: Carol Sulpher and Dave Sulpher; • Second: Joni Fine and Gord McArthur; • Third: Ruth Grant and Mary McCann.

East-West • First: Jeannie Yagminas and Eleanor Thompson; • Second: Sharon and Tom Sewter; • Third: Leanne Cheliak and Rick Duncan.

CHEO launches Dream of a Lifetime Lottery for patient care Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Jordan Yolkowskie and Sarah Patterson know the importance of home and family.

Standing in the living room of the new Minto Dream Home on Sept.

12, the couple, from Lombardy, Ont. near Smiths Falls, held a photo of their eight-month-old daughter Everley, who is currently receiving life-saving care at CHEO. “We’ve spent a total of 210 days at CHEO,” said Patterson.

Their daughter was born with a rare genetic condition known as congenital central hypoventilation syndrome, which affects just 1,000 people worldwide.

“She essentially stops breathing when she’s sleeping,” Patterson said of her first born, who also suffers from a seizure disorder.

“It’s a struggle every day with her,” Yolkowskie said of Everley, who had to be resuscitated 17 times in a single day two weeks ago.

“We really are dealing with life and death every day with her,” said Patterson.

Their family’s experience is why the community’s support is needed to help fund the work that CHEO’s medical team is doing to save the lives of thousands of children every year.

For that reason, officials are hoping tickets for the CHEO Foundation’s 26th annual Dream of a Lifetime Lottery will be sold out by the Dec. 9 deadline for the third straight year.

The grand prize package, which includes the Minto Dream Home at 540 Bridgeport Ave. in Manotick, is worth $1.65 million.

From top to bottom, every room in the fully furnished house features unique focal pieces, ranging from big-screen televisions to a baby grand piano.

The basement is designed for entertaining.

Dream Homes for the past 17 years.

This year’s Okanagan model home is more than 4,000 square feet, made extra special with 10-foot-high ceilings, a modern contemporary design and a curved staircase.

Pale maple wood and charcoal grey porcelain flooring and warm wood finishings bring the outdoors in, said Donna Correy, an interior designer with Ottawa-based KISS Design Group.

Neutral tones throughout offer serenity, and a bounty of Canadian art and colourful accent pieces make it a very liveable space, she said, adding the house is also the last address on the street, offering unspoiled vistas of protected green space.

“We all help grow strong and healthy kids – it’s something that connects us all to the community,” Strachan said. “For those of us who have used CHEO we are very grateful that it’s there. For those of us who haven’t used CHEO, we’re comforted knowing that it is there.”

In addition to the new house, the Dream Home grand prize also comes with $100,000 in cash, a 2017 Infinity car (or $47,000 in cash),

house cleaning for a year and $5,000 in groceries.

Tickets are $100 each or three for $250 for a chance to win one of more than 5,000 prizes.

Those purchased by midnight Nov. 18 are also entered for a chance to win an early bird prize package.

Tickets for the 50/50 cash draw, which last year netted the winner more than $544,000, are available for $10 each, five for $25 or 15 for $50.

The lifeline the community provides by financially supporting CHEO means everything to little Everley’s parents.

“Well, 210 days – CHEO has been around us more than our family has,” said Patterson.

“They don’t just treat Everley – they treat Jordan and I as well, and they’ve really given us an opportunity to have a life with Everley. They’ve saved her life.

“She has the potential of having a bright, beautiful future because of CHEO.” Tickets can be purchased by calling 1-877562-5437, at BMO, TD Canada Trust, CIBC and National Bank, as well as at dreamofalifetime.ca.

Residential natural gas prices on the rise effective Oct. 1 Staff

Expect your natural gas bill to rise next month and not just because colder weather is on the way.

Two area natural gas distribution companies have has received approval from the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) for new rates effective this Saturday, Oct. 1.

Both Enbridge Gas and Union Gas have announced in news releases last week that their rates will go up three and 4.5 per cent.

Enbridge reports that its typical residential customers will see a total bill increase of about three per cent, or $25 a year. As a result, the average total bill will be about $823 a year, the company says.

Enbridge puts the blame on the increase on higher forecasted natural gas commodity prices in North America. However, this increase is partially offset by a ‘cost adjustment’ refund, which reflects the difference between forecast costs and actual costs from the past 12 months.

The OEB also previously approved a ‘rate adjustment’ charge for the difference between the amount customers paid for volumes consumed in 2015 and the actual costs incurred.

For typical residential customers, this will result in a total charge of about $21, which will be billed in two installments of about $10.50 on October and November bills, says Enbridge.

“Natural gas continues to provide great value to our customers, with the typical customer’s total annual bill now $390 less than it was 10 years ago,” maintains Enbridge energy supply director Jamie LeBlanc.

“Natural gas remains the most economical choice for home and water heating in Ontario,” claimed LeBlanc. “Over the past five years, natural gas has been on average over 65 per cent less expensive than electricity and oil.”

Enbridge submits rate adjustment applications every three months to reflect changes in the market price of natural gas and transportation services. The applications are reviewed and approved by the OEB. Enbridge does not earn a profit on the price

of natural gas. Gas supply costs are passed through to customers without any mark-up.

Any difference between forecast costs and actual prices is either collected from or returned to customers through a cost adjustment.

Enbridge reminds customers that there are options to help manage energy bills: • Customers can find energy efficiency tips at enbridgegas.com/energyefficiency.

• Customers who have signed up for myEnbridge can now access their personalized My Home Health Record, which provides natural gas consumption comparisons to similar homes, along with energy saving tips and advice.

• Customers can register for myEnbridge at enbridgegas.com/myenbridge.

For qualifying customers, the OEB’s Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP) provides emergency financial assistance towards past due energy bills. Learn more about LEAP at enbridgegas.com/LEAP. As well, the Home Winterproofing Program helps residential customers in financial need with free home energy efficiency improvements. Qualifying customers may have free energy efficiency improvements, such as insulation, installed to reduce their energy costs. Learn more at enbridgegas.com/ winterproofing.

Customers who are having trouble paying their bills should call Enbridge as soon as possible to set up payment arrangements.

UNION GAS

Union Gas reports its residential customers in northern and eastern Ontario will see an annual net increase of about $40, which represents an increase of about 4.5 per cent of their natural gas bill. Customers in southern Ontario will not be hit as hard.

The approved rate change largely reflects fluctuations in the market prices Union Gas expects to pay for natural gas supplies for the next year. Adjustments are made quarterly (Jan. 1, April 1, July 1, Oct. 1), to either collect or refund the difference so that customers pay the actual cost for these items.

“Customers who heat their home and water with natural gas save $1,600 to $2,000 every year for the average home compared to using electricity, oil or propane,” claimed Union Gas vice-president Mark Isherwood. “Choosing affordable and reliable natural gas makes good

sense.”

Union Gas notes its customers can realize savings by improving the energy efficiency of their homes. For energy-saving advice, rebates and promotions visit uniongas.com/residential/ save-money-energy.

HOME, GARDEN & RENOVATIONS 2016

Manor garden renovation complete Long-time Bonnechere Manor volunteer Diana Wakely had the grand idea to look at renovating the J. Campbell (Cam) Simpson Memorial Garden area at the front of the home.

The Bonnechere Manor Foundation was quick to provide capital support for the idea of a cascading water fountain as the main feature.

A local company was con-

tacted and provided examples of various fountains. After consultation with residents and the Bonnechere Manor Foundation, a three-tier fountain design was selected. The fountain was completed and installed in early summer 2016 with landscaping around the fountain providing the finishing touch.

Residents and their visitors love the new addition to the

front courtyard and they remark that they find the sound of the water very relaxing.

The County of Renfrew and the City of Pembroke administer two long-term care homes. Both Miramichi Lodge and Bonnechere Manor provide 24-hour nursing and personal care, nutritious meals and snacks, activation and recreation, rehabilitation, palliative and pastoral care.

Off-grid workshop, open house planned A local consultant is holding an open house and workshop early next month to promote the benefits of off-grid living.

Manuela Mueller is hosting the workshop, tentatively scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 8, in her McNab-Braeside home.

Running from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the session will feature Mueller sharing her experiences of living off-grid for the past four years and providing advice for those who would like to do the same.

She is also holding an open house guided tour of her home on Saturday, Oct. 1 from 10 a.m. to noon. The tour will touch on the highlights of the off-grid lifestyle.

It can help people save money and alleviate any worries about future power outages “while keeping your family comfortable,” says Mueller.

She maintains “living my dream” of being off-grid has become an “amazing, gratifying exSUBMITTED perience.” For more on the workshop and open Bonnechere Manor residents and their visitors love the new addition of a three-tier house, call 613-623-8804.

Timberwolves lose both weekend games to Jets, Blue Wings Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland. com

The Renfrew Timberwolves are sitting in last place in their division after opening the Central Canada Hockey League Tier 2 season with a 1-6 record.

The schedule has not played in the team’s favour as they have had to face a number of the league powerhouses in the first few weeks of the season.

On Sept. 16 the Timberwolves travelled to face the Perth Blue Wings and couldn’t get on the scoresheet as they fell 5-0 to the Blue Wings.

“It was an OK game,” said Mike Riopelle, head coach. “They seemed to be an all around better team than us.”

The Blue Wings had 68 shots on goal. Netminder Jeremy Bibeau started and was off the ice for three

minutes for an injury while Ethan Lapenskie took his place. Bibeau returned shortly thereafter.

On Saturday night the Timberwolves hosted the Metcalfe Jets and lost 8-2. “It was good but we almost had the same problem with a few lapses,” said Riopelle.

On Friday the Blue Wings scored three unanswered goals in the second and on Saturday the Jets had three in the third period.

The registration process continues so you can still get in on this season of fun, friendship and good cheer.

Registration can be done online or through the office.

It’s hard to believe the season is starting next week but as the chill in the air reminds us, winter is not too far away.

This season is lining up as a busy and fun year at the curling club with

many events already on the calendar and others in the planning stage.

As far as club opening, the ice is being made and will be ready for the Oct. 1.

That’s when the golfers/curlers take to the grass/ice for the annual Sweep and Putt Spiel.

This is open to the public at large and not just members.

comer.

So if you are still interested you may still be able to get in as an individual or a team by registering on line or phoning Brian at 613-4324561, but don’t delay.

The week of Oct. 3 to 7 will be available for practice, pick-up games and some leagues may even start season play. Check the club website or contact the drawmasters for further information.

Don’t forget Rookies Rock if you

want to take the learn-to-curl program for new and nearly new curlers.

This is open to all members and the community at large that require basic instruction.

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 the cost is $60.

The interclub competitions that are held on Wednesdays are being set up and all are popular with the day

curlers.

Both the men’s Low Cup and the ladies’ Autumn Leaves championships are defending the hardware they captured.

Everyone also enjoys the Friendlies as they take us to different clubs around the valley in the spirit of good fun and great food.

We return the favour of course and that doubles the pleasure. So sign up and get the most out of your club membership.

Calabogie Motorsports Park to mark 10 years on Oct. 1 Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

Rev up your engines, it’s the tenth anniversary at Calabogie Motorsports Park and it’s time to celebrate.

Jane Blinn, track manager is excited for the celebrations on Oct. 1.

“I think the vibe will be quite festive,” said Blinn. “It’s totally open to the public and the track will be hot from 9 a.m.to 5 p.m.”

The track is a world-class facility and is home to the longest track in Canada. It measures at 5.05 kilometres in length with 20 turns.

It is 40 feet wide and features a 2,000-foot straightaway.

The course was designed by Alan Wilson and since it opened in 2006 it has become the preferred destination for North American motorsports enthusiasts.

Blinn calls it a hidden gem.

“It’s beautiful,” said Blinn. “The track is top notch and the setting makes it even more beautiful.”

She says even after a decade the track is still in pristine condition.

“We still don’t have a ripple in the asphalt,” said Blinn.

Blinn, as well as several members of the flagger crew, has been there since the start.

“It’s not like you’re going to work. It’s where people want to be. Everyone is excited to be

here,” said Blinn.

The celebrations will include three races in the Canadian Tour Car Championship Season Finale.

“They are supercars and are built to a certain spec so they are competitive with each other,” said Blinn. “They race in Shannonville and Toronto and this weekend the champion will be crowned. They want to come back to Calabogie to celebrate their season.”

There will also be an opportunity to try out the High Performance Driving Experience.

“If you just want to learn how to drive on a track, the track experience is the place to go and drive.”

You can drive the track in your own car with 1morelap.ca for only $65 for 30 minutes, which includes an instructor and a helmet.

You can also rent a race car and drive the track in a Calabogie Mustang Race car for only $199.

There will also be a Show n’Shine, a cake that will be cut at noon, vendors including Whiprsnapr Brewing Co. and more.

“We did this last year and it felt like it was a fair or a festival,” said Blinn. “It’s good clean fun. It’s inviting for families so they can get the sense of what the track is all about.”

The track is located at 462 Wilson Farm Rd. in Calabogie. For more information, visit: www. calabogiemotorsports.com.

You asked about the electricity system and how it affects charges on your hydro bill.

What is the Global Adjustment?

The Global Adjustment (GA), which is set monthly and included within your time of use charge, covers additional payments made to electricity generators to compensate for the differences between the hourly market price of electricity (HOEP) and the electricity generators’ regulated or contract prices, and conservation and demand management suppliers.

To ensure stability, some electricity generators get contracts to supply power at a fixed price. Power is bought and sold on a market where Electricity charges represent the largest part of the hydro bill — 53%. prices vary by the hour, so, the market price can be lower than the contract These charges are based on your smart meter readings and time of use (TOU)— when you use electricity: price. The GA makes up for that gap.

• on-peak from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Most generators have contracts with • mid-peak from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and the IESO or the Ontario Electricity • off-peak from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., weekends and holidays Financial Corporation (OEFC).

TOU charges are set by the Ontario Energy Board in May and November. Prices are based on 12-month estimates of the cost to supply electricity to homes and small businesses and are intended to recover payments made to electricity generators— nuclear, hydro, gas-fired and renewable (solar, wind and biofuel).

Here’s what’s included in the time of use (TOU) charges: • market prices paid for electricity and • the Global Adjustment (see sidebar)

Payments are also made to Ontario Power Generation (OPG).

OPG’s generating stations (nuclear and hydro) run at or near capacity at all times to meet basic demand.

When OPG is at capacity, higher cost contracted generators are brought on stream.

How are market prices set?

The Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) operates the wholesale electricity market where the cost of energy is determined, sets an hourly price—known as the Hourly Ontario Energy Price (HOEP) • RHI buys its power from the wholesale market and is charged the HOEP which it recovers from consumers. There is no mark-up.

The IESO settles $14 billion in electricity charges annually.

• The HOEP is based on supply and demand. When the demand for power is high, the spot price is high; Low demand creates lower prices.

The Ontario Energy Board does not set the amounts that the IESO and OEFC pay to contracted generators, but it does set the amounts that are paid to OPG. Generally speaking, when the HOEP is lower, then the GA is higher.

What is the Ontario Energy Board’s relationship with IESO? The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) regulates and monitors the electricity and natural gas sectors in Ontario; sets rates, develops policies, and helps consumers make informed decisions.

The Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) which operates Ontario’s electricity market is licensed by the OEB. IESO covers its costs to operate the system and ensure power is available 24 hours a day through the Wholesale Market Charge.

Every five minutes, the IESO forecasts the demand for electricity and ensures sufficient supply to meet that demand. It does this through the wholesale market where the price of electricity is set.

Golf tourney helps homeless vets

SUBMITTED

The Cobden Legion recently held their annual golf tournament at the Oaks of Cobden.

Despite the rainy weather, a good turnout of players resulted in a successful tournament.

Proceeds from the tournament are used within the community and to help homeless veterans. The tournament winners are Jay McLaughlin, Linda Tabbert, Dave Cornwall, Wayne Bennett and Kent McLaughlin.

The IESO also works with local distribution companies to help reduce consumers’ energy consumption and encourage them to change when they use energy, through SaveOnEnergy programs. It’s part of Conservation First—a directive from the Minister of Energy that emphasizes conservation before spending money on new electricity systems, where possible. RHI has been assigned a target of 4.17 GWh, part of the overall plan to reduce electricity consumption in Ontario by 7 terawatt-hours (TWh) or seven billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) between 2015-2020.

RHI, thanks to its residential and small business customers achieved 96% of its previous targeted savings or 4,700,000 kilowatt hours of electricity, equivalent to not having to supply 522 homes annually. Large business and industrial saved 1,100,000 Kilowatts.

Visit renfrewhydro.com for details about low cost or no cost ways to save energy and the SaveOnEnergy program.

What are the other electricity charges on my bill?

Delivery charges to connect to Hydro One Networks’ (HONI) transmission lines 11% HONI Delivery charge—consists of a variable charge, set by the Ontario Energy Board and linked to how much electricity you use. The charge covers the costs for Hydro One Networks Inc. to construct, operate and maintain a high voltage transmission system across 96% of Ontario.

There is also a fixed charge set by the OEB. Delivery charges to connect Renfrew Hydro’s local distribution system to your door 20% RHI Delivery charge—consists of a variable charge, set by the Ontario Energy Board and linked to your electricity usage—covers RHI’s cost to construct, operate, and maintain lower-voltage power lines, poles and transformers to deliver power to your door. It also includes a fixed charge which is the same for all distribution companies and set by the OEB, to cover the costs of electronic meter reading; billing, customer service and account maintenance; and general operations.

Regulatory charges 3% The Wholesale Market Service Charge covers the cost of services provided by the IESO to manage the high voltage power system and operate the wholesale electricity market, and the administration costs to plan for generation, demand management and transmission in Ontario.

It also covers purchasing reserve electricity, covering costs incurred by local utilities to connect renewable generation, and bridging costs of electricity lost over transmission lines.

Debt Retirement charges 0% Renfrew’s residential customers no longer pay this charge set by the Ontario Government to pay down the debt of the former Ontario Hydro.

The charge (.61 per Kwh) remains on all other electricity users’ bills until April 1, 2018.

HST 13% Harmonized sales tax is paid to the Canadian and Ontario governments.

How do Renfrew Hydro’s residential rates compare with other local distribution companies?

Renfrew Hydro customers come first

A simple measure that can be used as a comparison with other utilities is the utility’s total cost per customer. Total cost is a sum of all the costs incurred by the utility to provide service to its customers. The amount is then divided by the utility’s total number of customers. (Ontario Energy Board)

RHI is a small organization that puts its customers first. Its focus is on safety, reliability and service at the least cost. RHI: - develops maintenance and capital plans - designs and builds - operates 24/7 Delivering power to your door for $1.60 a day - restores power outages Renfrew Hydro delivers power to your door at a yearly cost to you - smart meter reading - bills on behalf of electricity generators, of $584 or $1.60 per day.* Hydro One transmission, regulators, and That compares favourably with other local distribution systems in HST—representing 80% of your hydro Ontario according to the Ontario Energy Board’s 2015 cost per customer bill. RHI keeps approximately 20% calculations. Renfrew ranks in the top third of the OEB ratings.

- collects payments - helps low income customers manage In fact, Renfrew customers pay less than Hydro One Networks’ their hydro bills customers for delivery charges.

- Promotes conservation *Based on a residential customer using 750kWh

Members of the Ottawa Rowing Club get ready to get into their boat before the start of the rowing regatta at the Burnstown Beach on Sunday, Sept. 11.

Local regatta attracts 100 rowers to Burnstown Beach Members of seven rowing clubs gathered at scenic Burnstown Beach Sept. 11 for a day of racing.

Close to 100 rowers from all over Eastern Ontario, including those from the host club, competed in the annual Head of the Madawaska regatta.

There were even two rowers on hand from Australia and England.

Hosted by the Burnstown Rowing Club, the regatta on the beautiful Madawaska River featured a 4.5-km and two 3-km head-to-head races, as well as a fun sprint competition.

Rowers took part in singles, doubles, fours and eights races.

WINNERS

Among the winners was the Burnstown club’s Mark Robson, who along with Bill Stevens organized the regatta.

He captained his team to victory in the doubles competition in both the 4.5-km and second 3-km race, edging out Ottawa Rowing Club entries.

Former Ottawa Rowing Club member, Mark Chapman, who now lives in Sydney, Australia, won the singles 4.5-km race, finishing just over a minute ahead of Burnstown Rowing Club’s Leo Hall. Burnstown’s Kim Krahn was fifth.

The Ottawa Rowing Club did win seven of the contests.

In the 4.5-km races, Julia Faurnier’s fours won by over four minutes, while David McDonald’s group won the eights race by only 17 seconds over the Outdoor Adventure (Upper Ottawa Valley Rowing) team from Beachburg.

Outdoor Adventure’s only win came in the first race’s singles competition.

DOUBLES

The Giuseppe Lund-led team representing England’s Lakeland Rowing Club won the doubles, while the Ottawa Rowing Club’s Sukstorf team took the quad and cox fours.

The Ottawa Rowing Club’s Hammell team were the only team in the eights contest.

In race three, Lund of the Lakeland club won the singles, while Ottawa Rowing Club teams won both fours and the eights competitions.

Lund is a former Burnstown Rowing Club member who now rows with the Lakeland club of the United Kingdom.

Also participating were members from the St. Lawrence, Ottawa New Edinborough and Upper Ottawa rowing clubs.

“It was just a great day of rowing,” said Stevens.

Major investments in Ontario’s electricity system are needed to modernize generation, transmission and distribution services—in fact by 2025, most of the aging electricity system is expected to be replaced.

Over a decade ago, the Ontario Government decided to phase out coal-fired generation plants, which produced about 25% of Ontario’s power, for health and environmental reasons.

The elimination of coal-fired generation, completed in 2014, is said to be the single largest greenhouse gas emission reduction initiative in North America, and significantly reduced air pollution. At the same time, Ontario launched a program of investments in renewable “green” power such as wind, solar, and biofuel.

Costs have increased for many reasons: • replacing aging parts of the generation, transmission, and distribution systems • creating an environmentallysustainable system by investing in currently, more expensive renewable power supplies, and connecting them to the grid • selling surplus power by exporting it, at times, at a price lower than production • paying generators not to produce power to maintain system stability • paying suppliers the difference between contract prices and market prices, and • funding for conservation and demand management programs.

• Look for the Energy Star label when you are buying products and furnishings.

• Switch your light bulbs to LEDs—they use up to 75% less energy, and last up to 30 times longer.

• Use dimmer switches—to add mood and save energy.

• A programmable thermostat can reduce heating and cooling costs and save you up to 10%.

• Wrap your hot water heater in a blanket.

• Ceiling fans can reduce the costs of cooling your home in the summer. In the cold months, run the fan in a clockwise direction and push the warm air away from the ceiling to the floor.

• Install permanent weather stripping around your windows and doors. Keep the cold out in the winter and the heat out during the summer.

• Motion detectors are a great way to have light when you need it outside so you are safe…and save money.

• Use heavy drapes to cover your windows or install cellular or honeycomb shades to reduce heat loss in the winter.

• Unplug equipment and appliances you aren’t using.

JCS Stables wraps up Rising Star series with 10 champions On an absolutely beautiful day, the Rising Star Series recently held its third and final horse show clinic of the season.

Get with it and rethink dementia: Alzheimer Society As the number of people with dementia continues to rise in Ottawa and across Canada, it is important that all of us be better informed and take action to improve the quality of life for those with dementia, and their families to “Rethink dementia” and become dementia-friendly.

Year three of the Champlain Region’s Rethink Dementia awareness program, launched Sept. 21 on World Alzheimer Day, challenges everyone to learn more and act differently related to dementia.

Four two-minute videos offer a startling glimpse into ways ordinary interactions can be improved.

A new tip sheet offers simple and powerful strategies.

These resources can go a long way in helping people with dementia feel included and supported in their community.

They can be viewed at www.rethinkdementia.ca or www.demencesonyrepense.ca “As the number of people with dementia increases, we all need to revisit our assump-

tions and be better prepared to support loved ones and people we meet in our day to day lives, who are living with the many challenges and impacts of dementia,” says Paddy Bowen, chief executive officer of the Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County.

“Whether a person with dementia is our neighbor or at a bank or on a bus, we all need to step up and help Ottawa become a leader in the dementia friendly movement,” said Bowen.

Cabela’s opening draws thousands of happy customers Jessica Cunha

Jessica.cunha@metroland.com

More than a hundred people camped out overnight in the parking lot of Cabela’s to be among the first customers through the doors on Thursday, Sept. 22.

More than 1,000 people had amassed in front of the outdoor outfitters by 8 a.m.

Thursday to celebrate the store’s grand opening in Kanata.

Arnprior couple Charles Glandon and Jenn Nolet-Masse, along with their infant son Hunter, were the first people in line for the official opening. The family settled themselves in Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 p.m.

“We didn’t try to be first,” said Glandon, but they were pretty happy to find themselves front-of-line.

More than 100 people camped out in the parking lot to ensure they were among the first 250 customers to receive a gift card.

Taylor Wright – Cabela’s ambassador and host of hunting show The Canadian Tradition – shot an arrow from a bow to cut the ribbon and officially open the store.

Founder Mary Cabela greeted customers as they entered the building.

“We’re really honoured to have it right here in Kanata,” said Mayor Jim Watson, wearing a camo Cabela’s Ottawa hat. “Two hundred and fifty jobs have been created here.”

Cabela’s is hosting weekend long celebrations with giveaways and activities for families.

October is Community Support Month; celebrate our quiet heroes Karry Fortin

Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support

There’s more to health care than doctors and hospitals – Ontario’s not-for-profit community support services providers are the quiet heroes of the health care system, and they have some amazing stories to share.

October is Community Support Month, an opportunity to celebrate the services which help seniors and people with disabilities live independently in their own homes for as long as possible.

SERVICES

There are over 25 unique community support services, including attendant care, adult day programs, Meals on Wheels, respite for family caregivers, personal care and home support, transportation to medical appointments, and supportive housing programs… to name just a few!

The not-for-profit organizations that provide these services are supported by their local communities, and rely on over three million hours of work donated by volunteers each year. All Ontarians deserve the opportunity to live in the comfort of our own homes and communities.

GOAL

Community support services make this goal a reality by going beyond meeting a client’s current needs, and actually preventing more serious needs in the future.

They keep people out of emergency rooms, hospitals and long-term care, helping Ontarians in need stay happy and healthy, and making the

entire health care system more sustainable.

At Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support our volunteers are an integral part of our agency, providing quality services and making meaningful connections with our clients.

“It has been the most wonderful experience that I have ever had.

It brings me joy and happiness, a feeling of self-worth, also a feeling that I’m helping people and it feels like a great accomplishment,” said a Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support volunteer.

“To us, stories about the impact of community support services may be extraordinary, but to the dedicated staff and volunteers of these organizations, they’re all in a day’s work,” says Deborah Simon, chief executive officer of the Ontario Community Support Association. “This October, please learn more about how you can support these community-based organizations by donating your time or muchneeded funds.”

MISSION

Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Supports mission is to preserve the independence of seniors and adults with disabilities by enabling these individuals to remain as active as possible for as long as possible in their own homes and communities.

“It’s a wonderful service!

Often a person does not want to ask family or friends for a ride to an appointment.

The service just allows one to be independent and it’s just so comforting to know that

SUBMITTED

Raffle winner Susan Phillion receives her prize, an iPad mini from Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support executive director Judy Ewart. the service is available if it is needed” said a home support client.

WINNER

Congratulations to Susan Phillion, the winner of our iPad raffle. We welcome all individuals to apply to our agency to volunteer and are always open to new ideas from volunteers and are willing to work around schedules. Call 613-432-7691.

Susan Hortop May 9, 1956 – October 3, 2006 In loving memory of a precious mother, daughter, sister and aunt.

You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived.

You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back.

Or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left.

Your heart can be empty, Because you can’t see her, Or you can be full of the love you shared.

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember her and only that she’s gone, Or you can cherish her memory And let it live on.

You can cry and close your mind, Be empty and turn your back, Or you can do what she’d want; Smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Her love and strength and courage continue to inspire us.

Love always and forever, Jennilea, Kayleigh, Ian, Don Dick Hartley, Diane, Glenn, Heather, Anne-Marie, Katie, Paul Dick

Charlie Coe “Chief” In loving memory of a dear dad and grandpa who passed away September 27, 2011.

In tears we saw you sinking, And watched you pass away, Our hearts were almost broken, We wanted you to stay.

But when we saw you sleeping, So peaceful free from pain, How could we wish you back with us, To suffer that again?

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God took you home.

In ancient times humans looked to the flights and songs of birds to foretell the future.

Today, once again, the birds have something to tell us.

And their message is coming to our very neighbourhood - to Arnprior’s O’Brien theatre, on Thursday, Sept. 29 at 7 p.m. - in the form of The Messenger, a powerful sciencebased film that makes the issues very personal says nature columnist and Macnamara Field Naturalists president Michael Runtz.

“It took me on an emotional rollercoaster, from humour to anger to tears.” says the well-known Carleton University teacher, who first saw The Messenger when it premiered at the TO ADVERTISE! Wakefield Film Festival, where he was part of a panel discussion.

Runtz will join a similar session after the Arnprior screening.

“Very few films have impressed me Share your as this one did. It’s a fabulous docuspecial moments mentary that should be shown to every school around the world.”

IT $ PAYS $

with your friends and our readers with an announcement in Social Notes.

DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU GOT

Few can see the impact of what we do now and how it relates to our futures. But with exclusive footage and high-tech cinematography, The Messenger shows the challenges that face our bird populations, warning that the uncertain fate of songbirds might mirror our own.

Think of them as the canaries in the coal mine.

As the Joni Mitchell song goes, you don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone.

“What we’re seeing with these songbird declines is 40 or 50 years in a row of the populations getting lower and lower. So we have only half the birds we did back in the 1960s,” says Dr. Bridget Stutchbury, a biologist at York University.

This observation is echoed by Runtz, reflecting on the 50-something years the natural history specialist has been studying birds in our area. “The spring chorus was almost deafening at times,” he recalls. “We still have songs, but the dawn choruses are subdued in comparison.”

You don’t have to be a birder to notice the difference. Cottagers like this one from Crystal Lake in the Kawarthas ask: “Has anyone noticed the swallows have disappeared in the last few years … We don’t see any nests in our boathouse anymore and they no longer dance in the sky.”

And it is the everyday person that Sue Rynard, the film’s director, wants to reach with hope. Everyone can make a difference, she says.

“With this film we aim to connect people who care with ways they can help. I believe people are compassionate, intelligent, and capable of change. Real change occurs when people begin to positively care, and you can feel this in the film.”

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Come to the film. Stay for a question-and-answer session after the screening when Runtz will be joined by Ted Cheskey, Nature Canada’s senior conservation manager, bird conservation, education and networks, and a representative of Safe Wings Ottawa.

Did you know, for instance, that one billion birds are killed every year in North America by colliding with glass? Find out how you can help reduce these unnecessary deaths.

HOW TO GET TICKETS

The Messenger event will officially launch fundraising for the Macnamara Nature Trail extension, scheduled to begin in 2017. The project will add 1.5 kilometres to the trail, offering access to Goodwin Marsh for wildlife observation and to a new osprey tower as well as a new loop on north part of the property.

Proceeds from the tickets to the film - $20 each ($10 for students and ages 16 and under) - go to the trail extension project. Tickets are available at the O’Brien theatre after 6 p.m. on Sept. 29, or can be bought in advance at mfnc.ca. Please attend and spread the word.

The film, to be shown at 7 p.m., will be followed by a panel discussion with questions from the audience.

You can see a trailer of the movie at https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=LjQtRr4CKcc.

Mother’s special powers were proven for Mary As she did every evening after the kitchen had been redded up, Mother was at the end of the kitchen table with her diaries and scrapbooks spread out before her. I was glad my sister Audrey decided she didn’t have time to spend with me going through the Eaton’s catalogue. It had just arrived in the mail and even though I could spend hours thumbing through the pages, that night I had other things on my mind.

I looked around the kitchen. From where I sat at the other end of the table, I saw Father in the rocking chair as usual, with his feet up on a cushion on the oven door.

The Ottawa Farm Journal was on his lap and I could see it wouldn’t be long before sleep would win out, and the paper would slip to the floor.

And then his pipe would fall to his chest and the soft snoring would start. My sister Audrey was at the old treadle Singer sewing machine trying her best to make a blouse out of a cotton dress that had come in the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina.

It was important that I place everyone in the kitchen that night, because I was out to prove what my friend Velma said was, in fact, true.

She said mothers had this rare talent where they could see everything going on around them, without turning their heads or raising their eyes from whatever they were doing. I had long

MARY COOK

since ruled out that Mother had eyes in the back of her head like my brother Emerson swore up and down was a fact! Having examined her head carefully on more than one occasion, I knew this was just another one of my brother’s crazy ideas.

I was more inclined to believe my friend Velma, who was devoutly religious, a Lutheran, and said God had given mothers this special talent, so that they could keep everyone in line without as much as actually seeing them in action. That night, I was determined to see if Velma had her facts straight.

My three brothers were playing Old Maid at the bake table and that meant trouble. I knew it wouldn’t take long before there would be a roaring-eyed fight, like there was just about every night. Earl said Emerson was cheating. Everett yelled, “Ya, cheating.” And then it happened right before my eyes! Mother

Mary Cook’s Memories

didn’t look up from the diary she was working on and said to Emerson, “Put that card back in the deck, young man, or you’re off to bed.” She hadn’t as much as raised an eyebrow!

And then she asked Audrey to get Father’s pipe off his chest because it was just about to burn a hole in his plaid shirt. And she didn’t even turn her head! Well, that tore it for me. I couldn’t wait to get to school the next day to tell Velma she was absolutely right. Mothers did have this talent for knowing what was going on without as much as raising an eyebrow. And they didn’t have eyes in the back of their heads either!

And I started to wonder if just maybe Mother could tell what I was thinking too.

That thought scared the daylights out of me and I made up my mind that whenever I was in the same room with her, I would try my utmost to have the purest of thoughts in my head.

And I wondered if, when I grew up, I too would have the rare talent of knowing exactly what was going on around me without benefit of raising an eyebrow, just because I too, had become a mother. It was a lot to think about back then when I was six-years-old.

A new chance to dance: join the Hy-liners dancing group TEDxPembroke So there’s been some dancing in your past and you think there might be some in your future.

Well, now is a great time to bring it all together in the present and get this going again (or perhaps for the first time) with linedancing.

From mid-October to early December, all ages have a special invitation to linedance with The HyLiners.

Enjoy a choice of sessions at Arnprior’s Nick Smith Centre (Mondays), Carp’s Huntley Community Association (Wednesdays), the Almonte Community Centre (Thursdays), and possibly in the areas of Kanata-Stittsville and White Lake.

FUN-TO-DO

Instructor Hyacinth Chatterton is quick to point out that not only is linedancing “fun-to-do,” but it is also in the “good-for-you” category, providing a solid complement to everyone’s fitness routine, whatever that may be. Linedancing has an aerobic component, plus it offers weight-bearing movements, and stimulates the brain via the interesting patterning of memory-work involved, she adds.

Chatterton also explains that the moves involved in the activity will range from simpler sequences at the beginner and novice levels, through

to more challenging ones at the intermediate and advanced levels.

And, at every level, there are options designed to bring the danceroutine within each participant’s personal comfort zone.

Chatterton is a retired, bilingual educator who has been a resident of Arnprior for several years.

During her years of formal class-room teaching, she often had linedance clubs for students at the elementary as well as high school levels.

She recalls that her first school club consisted of 40 Grade 3 students (20 girls and 20 boys) at a Carleton Place school.

Much to the delight of their parents, other guests and school-staff, the students performed at their school during Education Week in spring of that year.

Since her retirement, Chatterton has continued to instruct students in this activity by volunteering at schools in Almonte, Arnprior, Pakenham and Renfrew.

Members of her linedance group, The Hy-Liners, meet regularly for practice sessions, and together with Chatterton, they make sure they give back to communities in the area.

For example, they have entertained at hospitals, seniors’ residences and special events in Al-

monte, Arnprior, Carleton Place and Carp, and have also participated in benefits in support of various causes, held at such local establishments as the St. John Chrysostom Church Hall, Grace-St. Andrew’s United Church, Galilee Retreat Centre, Christian Education Centre and Arnprior Legion.

The Hy-Liners have also given teaching demonstrations for Galetta’s 4-H Club members and entertained at several celebrations organized by the towns of Mississippi Mills and Arnprior and Almonte District High School.

Although linedancing built its roots in country music, it has expanded over subsequent decades to include many more genres of music, such as Bachata, Calypso, Celtic, Fox-Trot, Jazz, Jive, Mambo, Merengue, Night-Club, Reggae, Samba, Tango, Two-Step, Waltzes, Western-Swing and others.

KEY FACTORS

In addition to the appeal offered by the variety of music used, there are other factors that attract would-be linedancers: • this activity is suitable for both genders; • it welcomes participants of all age levels; • unlike some other dance-for-

mats, having a dance-partner is not a pre-requisite for participation; • the presentations are not confined to lines only - they may be done in circles, squares and diamonds, as well as in contra formations.

Where can you linedance in the Valley?

Chatterton is pleased to note the healthy networking that continues to exist between the majority of instructors with whom she has become acquainted in Almonte, Carleton Place, Cornwall, Kanata, Nepean, Ottawa, Perth, Renfrew and Smiths Falls.

When the Hy-Liners hold their now-established local socials to mark the closing of each term, dancers from many of these areas get together and have fun “meeting-greeting-dancing-eating.”

During the past a decade the dancers, plus others from further afield, also supported The annual linedance workshops organized by Chatterton for the benefit of the popular children’s summer-camp, Camp Lau-Ren in Deep River.

Pre-registration for this fall’s programs is strongly recommended. Contact Chatterton at 613623-0976 or email mais-brown@ sympatico.ca “to make linedancing a vibrant part of your present and future.”

at Algonquin College Nov. 12 TEDxPembroke will take place at the Algonquin College Waterfront Campus for the first time on Saturday, Nov. 12. This independently organized event is being held as part of the college’s mandate to support entrepreneurialism among its students and faculty and the broader community.

Imagine some of the Ottawa Valley’s most interesting and engaging people coming together to share their passions and discuss their vision under the theme of “dreaming big.”

That’s what Waterfront Campus Entrepreneur-in-Residence, Chris Doré, envisions as he spearheads the planning for TEDxPembroke, a four-hour event that will feature both live and videotaped speakers.

A call for speakers is out until Sept. 30. The lineup of presenters will be released in early October. Tickets for TEDxPembroke are now on sale at the Waterfront Campus for $30 for general public and $15 for Algonquin College students. Seats are limited and the ticket price includes beverages and light snacks.

Please visit our TEDxPembroke website for further details, www.tedxpembroke.com.
