Jumping for joy and MS awareness Jo-Anne Matthie of Renfrew viewed the Ottawa Valley from 10,000 feet during her first sky dive at Mile High Parachuting in Arnprior Saturday, Sept. 27. She also raised awareness and funds for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) through her dive. Matthie is greeted by family members following her jump.

News – There hasn’t been a public beach in Renfrew for about 17 years, and there may not be for many more years to come.

At least that’s the impression after the recreation department made inquiries this past June and July with the Renfrew County and District Health Unit about the suitability of activities at the Bonnechere River beach.

Recreation director Kevin Hill says his department was informed that swimming is still not recommended because of high eColi counts.

Paddle boarding and other activities that do or may involve submersion of one’s face in the water is also not recommended.

“Things may change, but that’s where we are at the moment,” Hill told the

Signs are up at the former Bonnechere River beach area off Ready Avenue.

Sept. 22 meeting of Renfrew council.

The beach is located at the north end of town, off Ready Avenue, where the recreation department has posted two signs.

One indicates the beach is closed. One briefly summarizes why.

Hill says he’d love to see the beach open for swimming, but doesn’t figure that will happen for some time to come.

Veteran politician no stranger in Admaston-Bromley mayoral race Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

News - Raye-Anne Briscoe is no stranger to municipal politics. She has been mayor of Admaston-Bromley since amalgamation in 2000, and a part of council for close to a decade before that.

With a smile, Briscoe says the first reason she is running again in 2014 is, “There’s an election.”

You assess where you are as a person – your family, health, skills – before making the commitment, she said.

“I am excited about, perhaps being the mayor for another term.” Briscoe added.

“I had to ensure that I got a really good report regarding the latest surgery with the knee replacement, and I got a superb report.”

That was the day before the Sept.

12 nomination cut-off date.

She said this year’s council table will likely have a blend of a lot of experience, and no experience.

“That in itself is a challenge, but also an opportunity,” Briscoe said.

“It’s an opportunity to see some different skill sets, to hear what people have to say.

“Experience is important, but it’s awfully good for this community to have new folks around the table with new ideas and new ways of approaching things, so that’s good.”

Briscoe said all municipalities must access revenue beyond taxpayer dollars.

“Their back pocket is emptier every year. Our ratepayers absolutely deserve the quality of service that is as good as we can provide with affordable dollar signs in front of it.”

It takes concentration, reading, talking and looking outside to see how other people are doing things, she added.

“We are very fortunate here. We have a marvellous staff that do the same thing, so they often bring us, from their contacts, some pretty excellent suggestions on how we can improve.”

Experience is important, but it’s awfully good for this community to have new folks around the table with new ideas and new ways of approaching things.

Incumbent Raye-Anne Briscoe has put her name back into the mayor’s race in AdmastonBromley.

PETER CLARK/ METROLAND

Briscoe is looking ahead to Oct. 27, and all that comes with it.

“I think an election is the best poll anybody can have.

“We have an election for both council and mayor, and that means we (Admaston-Bromley) are healthy in wealth in terms of democracy. The people will decide how they want to be represented in the next four years.”

If re-elected, Briscoe says, It’ll be “a privilege to serve the community for another four years.”

Larone wants to remain part of the Horton council team Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News – To leave the road open for other candidates, Jamey Larone announced June 8 that he would not seek reelection to Horton council.

“I was being sincere about it at the time, because I knew the time commitment,” he explains.

“Four years is a long time to commit your life to. And when you’re a self-employed individual you have to find those balances because you have to be fair to your customers every day.”

But after much deliberation and encouragement by residents to change his mind, he has.

The 52-year-old home renovator says he wants to remain part of a team that has sharply reduced township debt and brought its reserves above $1 million.

After building and living in four houses in Horton and two in Admaston-Bromley, Larone says he wants to help build a township council that will face

After four years in, I feel I have more knowledge and insight than before, and I really believe that I am a guy at the table that will really debate and ask questions. And that’s what people need.

inevitable challenges. Those include forthcoming OPP bill increases, the impending loss of two administrative staff to retirement, and the need for continued road improvements.

“I really believe Horton has turned the corner,” says Larone as far as debt repayment and other aspects of financial management. The latter includes the rapidly-evolving waste management sector, as

2 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, October 2, 2014

the waste management committee chair strives to improve how Horton handles its waste.

“After four years in, I feel I have more knowledge and insight than before, and I really believe that I am a guy at the table that will really debate and ask questions. And that’s what people need. They need to know you’ll be engaged at the council table.”

Larone is one of four adultage children of George and Lyle Larone who lived near Lake Erie before returning to the Valley in 1974.

“This was always home,” says Larone. “Family was always here.”

And so it has remained for him. After apprenticing locally and in Alberta as a brick and stone mason, he and wife Heather have lived in the Ottawa Valley the last 30 years.

Meanwhile, in his spare time, the holder of two holesin-one hopes for a few more perfect days, whether they’re on the golf course or just heading down the highway with Heather on his BMW 1200 STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND motorcycle.

If re-elected, this will be Jamey Larone’s third term on Horton council.

Guthrie seeks voice on Greater Madawaska council peter.clark@metroland.com

News - As a new property owner and future resident of Greater Madawaska, Nicole Guthrie is excited by what she sees. “The municipality is on the cusp of something great and I would like to be a part of that.�

Guthrie says. “The best way I know how is to be at the table, helping to make smart decisions for all constituents.�

Born in Ottawa, the daughter of three-time Ottawa Rough

for that reason, it matters. I am employed part-time and have a very flexible schedule, This will allow me to dedicate the necessary time to the role.�

Guthrie said the biggest issue last term of council was staff turnover. “Staff make or break a municipality, and it was nice to see that in the last two years the municipality has strived to hire dedicated professionals.

“I am no stranger to the council table,�

Guthrie noted. “I worked closely with council (at Mississippi Mills) and was the staff liaison at committee meetings where council sat. “I am looking forward to working as part of a team with council and staff to help the (Greater Madawaska) municipality advance,� said Guthrie.

Mayor Emon, council and staff have started down a path to growth and prosperity and I hope to assist in its continuation.�

News – Life is good for Anne Haley (formerly Smith), and she hopes it only gets better for her and all students and teachers in the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board.

Haley married her best friend, Elmor Haley, last year and she has just been acclaimed as a trustee with the board for the second time. She has been a trustee since 2004 when Michael Laverty left office part-way through the term.

Entering her fourth term, she wonders what can be done to curb the county-wide issue of declining enrolment. At the same time, she says educating students about the importance of a lasting education is a foundation behind a stronger spiritual and socio-economic future.

After retiring in 2013, she says 22 years working with the Renfrew County Housing Corporation helped her see that “education eradicates poverty. If there’s anything I can do to see people get educated and help then lead meaningful lives, I want to be able to do it.�

Born in Eganville and raised in Pembroke, she says she learned the hard way how to get a good education. Growing up in a family of six children, her mother died when she was four years old and her

father worked hard on the farm but didn’t push hard for education. “I think having had to fight my way through the education system by myself, without the family support, has given me that great passion for education,� says Haley.

She left high school after Grade 9, but returned to school after her children were born.

They were just toddlers when earned her high school diploma in Renfrew. She received her Algonquin College business administration diploma in 1979.

She notes that her only two grandchildren are recent graduates of St. Joseph’s Catholic High School.

After attending Alqonquin College, Haley worked as a bookkeeper for a Renfrew business for six years. She later worked for the St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, then the Renfrew County Housing Corporation.

Looking forward to the next term, now that she’s retired, Haley says the board’s major issues include trying to stem declining enrolment and dealing with mental-health issues, including the rising incidence of suicides among young people.

The Catholic board’s approach includes the recent hiring of a mental-health leader to help educators, so students’ mentalhealth issues can be dealt with early and

I think having had to fight my way through the education system by myself, without the family support, has given me that great passion for education.

effectively.

Information technology remains a challenge, but Haley says connectivity issues should be minimized with completion this year of the eastern Ontario broadband network initiative.

Meanwhile, two local races for trustee positions continue.

One is between John Scott and Susan Humphries for the Renfrew-HortonWhitewater trustee on the Renfrew County District School Board. The other is between Colette Stitt and Andre Yonkeu for Conseil des Êcoles de L’est de l’Ontario’s trustee in Lanark, Renfrew and South Algonquin.

Project Zero and Assist funds for fire department steve.newman@metroland.com

News – The Renfrew fire department is a double winner.

The department is receiving 264 combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms (valued at almost $8,000) through a public education campaign known as Project Zero.

But it is also accepting $5,000 from

Project Assist for related educational training material.

The projects are supported by Enbridge Gas Distribution, in collaboration with the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council.

As far as Renfrew Fire Chief Guy Longtin knows, his department is the first to receive simultaneous support through both programs.

Lots of choice in Whitewater and North Algona Wilberforce Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News – Renfrew has a massive turnout in pursuit of five berths as town councillors in the Oct. 27 municipal election.

There are 14 candidates, but Whitewater Region Township isn’t far behind, with 11.

Several late-race candidates means incumbents Cathy Regier, Daryl McLaughlin and Allen Dick have plenty of company on the Whitewater ballot.

The other councillor candidates are Donald E. Broome, Howard Winters, John Felix Cull, Donna Burns, Joe Kowalski, Charlene Jackson, Dave Mackay and Chris Olmstead.

Incumbent Reeve Don Rathwell is being challenged by Terry Millar, while the mayoral race has four candidates, with Doug Shields’ laterace nomination. The other mayoral candidates are incumbent Jim Labow,

Hal Johnson and Joe Trimm.

The ballot won’t be nearly as full in nearby Bonnechere Valley, where incumbent Jennifer Murphy is challenged by Kipston Smith.

Only ward 3 candidate Bob Pelzer has been acclaimed, while there are two candidates in each of the other three wards. It’s Jackie Agnew versus former mayor Zig Mintha in ward one, Meredith Jamieson against incumbent Jack Roesner in ward two, and Mervin Buckwald and Judith Jeffery in ward four.

In neighbouring North Algona Wilberforce Township, incumbent Harold Weckworth is being challenged

by Kevin Clarke, Deborah Farr and John R. Keuhl, while 10 candidates pursue four councillor berths.

That field consists of incumbents Lorenz Kelo and Ruth Schoenfeldt, as well as Clay Bingley, Debra Cameron-Marshall, Dave Plumb, Glen Videto, Melvin Berndt, Stephen Crozier, Doug Schultz and James Brose.

Paramed workers return to work Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

News - Things are back to normal for clients of ParaMed Home Health Care.

Their homecare workers have returned. “They voted last Wednesday (Sept.

24) and were back at work Thursday,�

OPSEU (Ontario Public Service Employees Union) spokesperson Richard Janson said.

With the new contract, workers will receive an increase of about 1.4 per cent in wages yearly, Janson said.

The contract is for three years, retroactive to Jan. 1, 2013. Employees hadn’t had a contract since then. Improvements in mileage and schedul-

ing will also be made.

The Ottawa Valley Paramed workers walked off the job Sept. 2.

Extendicare, the company that owns ParaMed Home Health Care, had been seeking to extend a wage freeze on wages to five years, Ontario Public Service Employees Union president Warren (Smokey) Thomas said.

They have already been frozen for three years, OPSEU Local 492 secretary Debbie Brennan noted on the day the strike began.

Local 492 represents about 140 home care workers, including nurses and personal support workers in several communities across eastern Ontario, including Renfrew, Pembroke, Barry’s Bay, Eganville and Arnprior.

Since the Town must access homes to test for the presence of lead, we are looking for volunteers to allow the Town of Renfrew staff access to their homes to collect samples.

There will be NO charge to the resident for the testing of the lead sample.

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

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

The Town will require permission of the property owner to take the samples. If you wish to be added to the list of potential test sites please contact the Development and 8PSLT %FQBSUNFOU .VOJDJQBM (BSBHF %BSM (BVEFUUF BU

Continued from page 5

“We’re just very fortunate,� said Longtin. “We get all this updated training material, and we have all these combination smoke alarms and CO detectors to install in seniors’ homes and vulnerable homes.�

Canada’s largest natural gas distribution company is spending $100,000 in Project Zero dollars to provide more than 4,500 alarms to residents in 15 Ontario municipalities.

Project Zero is a public education program aimed at bringing the number of residential fire and carbon monoxide deaths down to zero.

Project Zero has been launched in 64 Ontario communities since its inception in 2009, Enbridge is spending another $100,000 on Project Assist to help about 20 Ontario communities. The educational incentive program has helped 59 Ontario fire departments

since it inception in 2012.

When properly installed and maintained, combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms provide the early warning needed to safely escape from a house fire or carbon monoxide exposure.

Carbon monoxide, or CO, is a toxic, odorless gas of incomplete combustion of many types of common fuels.

The announcement was made at the Sept. 22 meeting of Renfrew council by Chief Longtin and other local and Ontario fire-sector officials.

They included program specialist and former service advisor Tawnya Roberts of the Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management and Tracy Penney, operations supervisor for Enbridge’s eastern Ontario region. “While natural gas equipment has an excellent safety record,� said Penney, “educating customers about the importance of maintaining fuelburning appliances, and installing a combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm,

is an ongoing priority.�

Penney called it a “huge honour� to recognize Renfrew because of its strong history of fire prevention. “CO is the silent killer,� added Penney. “We’d like to get the combination smoke alarms and CO alarms into every home for that extra level of safety.� “Renfrew is no stranger to fire prevention,� said Roberts. “The Town of Renfrew fire department is a leader in fire prevention and this will serve to add to that by ensuring that those who need these alarms the most will receive them.�

Mayor Bill Ringrose indicated the Project Zero and Project Assist initiatives will enable the fire department “to continue its steadfast promotion of fire prevention and public education.�

Captain Peter Whalen will oversee local training activities, while Capt. Tim Hill is co-ordinating Renfrew’s fire prevention bureau activities.

Preliminary details on impending septage project steve.newman@metroland.com

this proposed system is the pre-treatment, by separating septage solids and liquids. “We’re a bit primitive with the way we deal with septage here in Ontario, but I think we’re going to catch up (with improved technology),� said Asselin. “The reason I’m here is because I’m an expert in rural sewage and rural septage treatment,� said Van Voorst. “I have a passion for coming up with options for the septage industry because in Ontario we don’t have options. “The municipal plants can’t accept the waste and the Ministry of the Environment doesn’t want us putting it straight on the land.

So we have to come up with something.�

Van Voorst said he is supporting Thompson and Todd because he believes “it is one of the best, if not the best, option for septage treatment in the Province of Ontario.� “With the possible banning of septage in the very near future,� said Thompson. “we need another alternative for disposing of septic waste.�

The solids remaining from the treated septage will be disposed of via composting or other means, leaving waste water treatment plants, such as Renfrew’s, more capable of handling the liquid byproduct, said van Voorst. “It’s a major project, and that’s why Randy and I have partnered,� said Thompson. “We’d like to put something together and maybe be the first ones in Ontario to come up with a viable solution.�

News – A new business may be coming to town that processes untreated septic tank waste (septage) and creates as many as 20 new jobs.

Investors behind the plan include longtime septage hauler George Thompson of Thompson Waste Water Systems in Horton Township and Randy Todd of Richmond, Ont., and Carleton Pumping Services.

Advisor Michael van Voorst of Van Voorst Engineering Ltd. in Millbrook, Ont. spoke for the group when he addressed the Sept. 22 meeting of Renfrew council.

The investors are exploring the possibilities of creating an environmentally-friend waste waster processing plant. Thompson’s company has been in the area for nearly 35 years and Carleton Pumping for nearly 30, noted van Voorst.

The proposed facility would receive, process and dispose of septage produced in the area and be located in the Renfrew industrial park.

Van Voorst says the project is expected to create five new jobs for start-up, but 10 to 20 new jobs once fully operational.

The facility, said van Voorst, would be prepared to handle biosolids from the Renfrew wastewater treatment plant that would save this material from being placed in the landfill site.

No such facilities yet exist in Canada,

but do exist in the northern United States, said van Voorst. Any such facility, he added, would require environmental compliance approval (ECA) from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment.

To receive an ECA, van Voorst said environmental concerns such as odour and noise would have to be addressed.

This project has evolved from the Ontario’s government’s indication in 2005 that it would ban the disposal of septage on farmland and require all municipalities to dispose of its septage in an acceptable fashion. Many municipalities still lack that ability, although the Province has yet to make that requirement law.

If plans go well, van Voorst said the processing plant would be operational by the middle of 2015. “It sounds promising,� said Coun. Gail Cole. Coun. Tom Anderson said council needs more details. “The general idea is fine, but do we have the capacity to handle their volume of material without restricting future growth,� said Anderson after the council meeting.

At this point more details are required to form an educated opinion abut the project, said Anderson.

Most of the septage processed by the plant would likely come from outlying municipalities, since Renfrew has fewer than 10 private residential septic systems.

Mike Asselin, Renfrew’s director of development and works, said the benefit of

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Property standards bylaw amendments needed in Horton To the editor:

Opinion - This letter is in regards to the amendments to the Property Standards Bylaw concerning storage of trailers in Horton Township. A bylaw resolving the issue will spare any ill feelings between neighbours, especially if neighbours are already aware of each other’s concerns.

If a property contains three to four or more trailers, boats, etc. belonging to family and friends who live in other townships that have already passed such bylaws, then the property becomes a parking lot and could be an eye sore to others living in and around the area.

“Neat and tidy” can be one thing to one person and something else to another.

epileptic seizures with cannabis oil.

There is no denying that since taking cannabis Liam’s quality of life has improved dramatically, limiting significantly the number of his seizures that were once as high as 70 in a day and allowing him to take on activities such as horseback riding and tubing once thought impossible.

Obviously, the authorities recognize how valuable the treatments are, as they have approved a medical marijuana licence for the McKnights.

However, as valuable as medical marijuana has been for Liam, his parents aren’t about to have him smoking joints daily. Instead, they give him cannabis oil because it is precise to measure and easy to take.

But hold on. Health Canada says all medical marijuana user must smoke or vaporize their cannabis. Unfortunately for the McKnights, oils and other derivatives are illegal.

That, of course, makes no sense at all. Are you going to make a young lad start smoking, making him susceptible to lung cancer and other respiratory diseases, just to keep his seizures under control.

So come on Health Canada, and more importantly the politicians who hold the regulatory power, let’s change the

rules to allow Liam and many other medical marijuana users (probably the majority) to take their treatments in the easiest way possible.

Sure, any decisions involving marijuana are likely to be touchy for many politicians.

But public opinion is rapidly changing and they and the bureaucrats need to quit waffling on the issue and catch up to the times.

The courts in British Columbia are urging the federal government to allow medical marijuana users to take it in various forms.

The New York Times has just come out in favour of legalizing pot, the federal Liberals support an easing of restrictions, people in two U.S. states have voted to allow marijuana sales and even Canada’s police chiefs are recommending fines instead of prison time for users.

A Canadian government poll released last month indicates more than two-thirds of Canadians support softening the rules on pot.

In the face of the changing attitudes on marijuana, surely the McKnights can be allowed to ease little Liam’s seizures by the most convenient way possible. Health Canada and its political masters need to stop blowing smoke and let him use cannabis oil.

Renfrew Mercury Proudly serving the community since 1871

Rural areas with acreage would not fall into the same category as a single dwelling in an urban area with less than one acre storing trailers.

We own a trailer and pay to store our trailer elsewhere over the winter, so we can keep our property neat and tidy. Using trailers as a fence and windbreaker does not warrant further comment.

I am very appreciative Horton council is there to solve this issue, and have the utmost confidence that with the upcoming elections they will consider the needs and feelings of the majority of actual taxpayers.

Opinion - It makes one wonder what the folks down at Health Canada are smoking.

Are they really suggesting that six-year-old Liam McKnight resort to smoking joints if he is to use medical marijuana to control his epileptic seizures?

Shouldn’t they at least consider a Vanier father’s plea that cannabis oil is preferable to chemotherapy is treating his leukemia-stricken son.

In Constance Bay, the community has rallied behind the McKnight family as they try to find ways to deal with his devastating Dravet syndrome.

A couple of fundraisers last winter collected a substantial sum along with providing a considerable amount of comfort for the family as they wage a complex and expensive battle to save their “local sweetie,” as he is commonly called in the community.

That was supplemented with the annual Dravet walk Sept. 21 in Constance Bay Sunday and a walk by students at Liam’s school, St. Michael’s Fitzroy.

The politicians are happy to jump on board the band wagon when the community was getting behind the McKnights.

But where are they now that Health Canada needs some encouragement to allow the family to treat Liam’s severe

County council looks to approve new remuneration package Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News – If the recommendations fly, the County of Renfrew will have an improved and simplified remuneration package for its elected officials for next year.

Members of an arms-length panel were appointed to recommend changes to council remuneration following similar work by Renfrew County human resources director Bruce Beakley for various local municipalities.

Beakley also provided direction for the panel that consisted of Merv Beckstead, former CAO for Ottawa-Carleton, Danielle Thomas, human resources director of the Pembroke Regional Hospital until her retirement this year, and Mitchell Stillman, CAO of Petawawa until his recent retirement.

The panel members summarized their recommendations at the Sept. 24 meeting of county council. Councillors were asked to review the 16 recommendations and supply feedback prior to October’s finance and administration committee.

It is expected a new remuneration package will be approved at county council’s Oct. 29 meeting.

The major recommendation may be to increase the warden’s annual salary to $55,000 and elimination of per-diem allowances for meetings.

This compares to a 2013

income for the warden of $49,236 that was based on per diems and salary.

Last year the warden had additional expenses of $14,865, the most of any county councillor.

Other councillors’ expenses ranged from $1,443 to $4,120.

Similarly, county councillors would receive $10,000 per year, but no per diems. In 2013, the three highest incomes for councillors (for per diems and salary) went to Bob Sweet of Petawawa, Don Rathwell of Whitewater Region and Walter Stack of Arnprior.

Their respective incomes were $12,376, $10,104 and $9,868.

The lowest incomes, excluding expenses, went to Don Eady of Horton and David Thompson of Deep River with respective amounts of $6,860 and $6,965.

Other recommendations include: • increasing standing committee pay from $1,000 to $1,500; • eliminating the $500 stipend for standing committee vice-chairs, to be replaced by a $140 per diem for each meeting chaired; • increasing the acting warden’s annual salary from zero to $1,200; • increasing the allowable daily rate for meals at a convention from $65 to $75; • establishing the per-diem rate for out-of-county travel at $175; • increasing total alloca-

tion for councillor attendance at conventions at $2,750 per year; • not changing life insurance, health and dental plan benefits for councillors and family members.

“The goal was to have a fair and reasonable compensation model that recognizes the service that is carried out by the elected officials,” said director Beakley.

“I think that has been achieved in the recommendation that has been made.”

Beakley noted the biggest change, in comparison to past remuneration practices, is the move away from per diems to straight salaries. He called this a wise move that eliminates second-guessing.

“From an optics point of view,” said Beakley, “the full and half days becomes a judgment thing, so if you have a meeting that goes until 1:15, there may be allegations that they have stretched things out so they get a full-day per diem instead of a half-day per diem.”

Compared to 2013 remuneration levels, Beakley said the recommendations are “pretty much revenue-neutral.”

In making its recommendations, the volunteer panel said the only relevant eastern Ontario data, for purposes of making comparisons, came from the counties of Frontenac, Hastings, Lanark, Lennox and Addington, Northumberland, and Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry.

10 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, October 2, 2014

Did we need to spend $14,000.00 for Bruce Firestone to tell us we need to expand our population to 15,000 by having trailer park pods throughout the Township, and build a hockey rink with annual costs far exceeding an agreement with our neighbours? NO! Did we need to spend 6 to 7 thousand dollars on a flawed survey when council had already made up their minds about the outcome? NO. Did we need a new boat launch at Red Pine Bay? YES! What we didn’t need is the $150,000.00 debacle to which council said, “get over it, we have moved on” More next week!

News - Jesse Gervais has pled guilty to manslaughter.

Gervais made a brief appearance in Renfrew court Monday morning, Sept. 29.

The 23-year-old Arnprior man faced first degree murder charges in the June 12, 2013 stabbing death of Brodie Armstrong, 21, also of Arnprior.

Gervais wore a dark suit and white shirt and stood quietly in the prisoner’s box for the proceedings. At times he nodded at and once mouthed ‘I love you’ to a group of family members seated in the court.

A group of Armstrong’s family members was also present.

A seven-day preliminary hearing had been scheduled to begin on Sept. 29 but instead Gervais entered his plea. He will be sentenced Oct. 3 in Renfrew court and victim-impact statements will be read at that time.

Gervais has been in custody at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre since his 2013 arrest.

Urbaitis assures that the enhancements will improve the palliative care experience, providing the conveniences of home. Each room will have a sofa bed and easy chair for family to stay overnight and a private bathroom.

“We wish for all patients nearing end of life to die in comfort and with dignity while treating them with respect, acknowledging their right to privacy and confidentiality and responding caringly to their individual needs,” she concludes.

GRAND ROUNDS “…A place to love and a place to share” Palliative care provides compassionate care, and helps relieve suffering for patients with an illness for which there is no cure.

“RVH’s palliative care wing is a special place for families to reflect and support each other. It’s a place to love and a place to share,” says Ann Marie Urbaitis, RVH’s Palliative Care Coordinator.

As part of ongoing renovation plans to the second floor, work has begun on a dedicated palliative care suite.

Urbaitis says the renovations will create an environment that truly speaks to the

needs of patients and allow family to spend quality time with their loved one.

“What was once a clinical-like setting will become a beautiful, calming space for our patients and their families. The warm paint colours, new flooring, and home-like furnishings will dramatically soften the environment,” she notes.

When completed, the unit will feature two private palliative care rooms, a sitting/lounge area and a fully equipped kitchenette for patients and their family to use.

Rooms on RVH’s second floor will receive a makeover to provide a warmer, softer, segregated palliative care unit. Ann Marie Urbaitis, RVH’s Palliative Care Coordinator, looks over paint and flooring options as renovation work begins.

Renfrew Fire Department supports Breast Cancer Awareness Month Starting in October, the Renfrew Fire Department, seen with I Choose RVH representative Annette Miller, will be raising awareness for Breast Cancer by trading in their traditional black Tshirts for custom-made Pink Ribbon tees. They have also decided to take part in the Renfrew Victoria Hospital’s Call to Action by selling the T-shirts to the public for $20 each. All proceeds will be donated to the RVH “I Choose” campaign. The firefighters recognize the expansion project is a good fit, as it means enhancements to other areas of the hospital that assist in supporting women’s breast health and cancer care.

“It’s nice for us to be able to help out and gain a little bit of recognition for all of the work that the Cancer Foundation does for such a worthy and important cause,” said Renfrew Fire Captain Peter Whalen. “Any way we can help get the word out… we’re happy to do it.” Anyone wishing to purchase a T-shirt can do so at the Renfrew Fire Department on Railway Avenue in Renfrew.

From left are, Fire Chief Guy Longtin, Captain Peter Whelan, Andrew Wesbrook, Terry Smith, Chad Scerba, Garett Stevenson, Annette Miller, Chad Barker, Captain Tim Hill, Mike Guest, Dan Visneskie and Mark Griese.

Over the last 12 years, you’ve helped us raise over $23 million dollars and we’re hoping you’ll help us make a meaningful difference in women’s health again this year.

quent to the initial referral is not overlooked, in any decisions made in relation to the safety and well-being of the child.

It is encouraged by all Children’s Aid Societies that when an individual in the community is unsure if the information they have equates to suspected child abuse to call and consult with a Child’s Aid Society worker.

Persons who make a report are protected from liability under Section 72(7) of the CFSA unless he or she acted maliciously or without reasonable grounds for his and her suspicion.

In understanding one’s duty to report it is also important to note that it is not the role of any professional, other than the police and the Children’s Aid Society worker to conduct the investigation into the alleged abuse/neglect.

If you or someone you know has reasonable grounds to suspect that a child in your community may be in need of protection, contact Family and Children’s Services of Renfrew County directly at 613-735-6866 to report these concerns.

News - Every October, Family and Children’s Services of Renfrew County launches the Child Abuse Prevention campaign which is marked by the Purple Ribbon.

The initiative serves to create awareness, increase public knowledge of child abuse/neglect and ultimately protect children and youth in our community.

As a community member, you may find yourself asking, “what is my obligation to report suspected child abuse.”

Under the Child and Family Services Act (CFSA), every citizen has a responsibility for the welfare of children.

This means that all members of the public, including professionals who work with children, have an obligation to report their concerns to a Children’s Aid Society if they have reasonable grounds to suspect that a child is or may be in need of protection.

According to the Ontario Association of Children’s Aid Societies (OACAS) reasonable grounds can be interpreted to mean, what an average person given his or her training, background and experience, exercising normal and honest judgment would have reason to suspect.

Further, it is important that the individual who has reasonable grounds to suspect that a child is or may be in need of protection make the report directly to their local Children’s Aid Society and not rely on anyone else to relay such information.

In addition, once a report has been made, there is an ongoing obligation to continue to report should additional information become known.

This ensures that critical information subse-

Citizens are urged to join the Break the Silence purple ribbon campaign.

People can learn more about child abuse prevention at displays set up Oct. 7 and 21 at Wal-mart in Renfrew from 4:30 to 7 p.m., and in the Arnprior Mall Oct. 17 and 24.

Family and Children’s Service of Renfrew County, in conjunction with Ottawa CAS, FCS of Frontenac, Lennox and Addington, Highland Shores CAS, FCS of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, and CAS of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, will be inviting all schools and the community to participate in the Oct. 17 Wear Purple Day.

When the medical arsenal withdraws and the endless and difficult treatments cease, the mere prospect of a return to normal is a source of immeasurable happiness. Survivors want to catch up on lost time, grab life by the horns, and take up abandoned projects.

Yet fear and anxiety can be a downside for many of these fighters who battled tooth and nail against breast cancer. Living in constant dread snuffs out the flame of life. It is a thorn in the side of this new beginning. Breast cancer survivors must treat this fear like any other. Healthy habits and a good life philosophy are far better than obsessive fear. Besides, for many of us, cancer turns out to be an isolated case, a temporary setback.

After their long journeys through the desert, thousands of women are able to take a new look at life and transform their core values and their relationships with family, friends, and colleagues.

Let’s hope that their inspiring example strikes a billion sensitive cords and becomes a shield in the fight against cancer!

Bernadette McCann House: “If we don’t tell our stories...”

Rosalie Wilcox Bernadette McCann House Staff

Community - I listened intently as she spoke, “If we don’t tell our stories, no one will know what domestic violence looks like, as it hides behind closed doors.”

How brave, I thought, she was to tell her story. I realized that after several years working in the violence against women field, l have so much more to learn from the women who experience abuse. It isn’t just a story, it is their life.

While men are also victims of domestic abuse, the vast majority of abuse incidents are against women. All violence is unacceptable.

Now, with social media, we see and hear life being played before our eyes, the punches in the elevators, the fist to the head, the welts from a branch, the voices from 911, and the headlines that capture our most beloved heroes being charged with violence.

Yet, with all the achievements of public awareness, more co-ordination of com-

munity services, the creation of domestic violence legislation (in some areas) more treatment programs, having police lay the charge rather than the victim; we still see some disturbing trends. According to the Canadian Women’s Foundation and Stats Canada, victims are now less likely to report an incident to police, more women are experiencing violence after leaving their abuser, more than half of women in Canada have experienced at least one incident of physical or sexual violence

since the age of l6 and since 20l0 there were 582 known cases of missing or murdered Aboriginal women in Canada.

Sadly, in Renfrew County we have our own troubling stats on domestic violence.

Bernadette McCann House for Women Inc. last year received over 2,500 crisis calls, assisted more than 300 women through our community outreach program, supported over 90 children through our children’s youth services, and provided shelter services to just under l00 women and

children.

Journalist Carly Weeks suggests, “It’s time to consider why, in 2014, any form of domestic violence remains acceptable. It’s time to take the discussion of domestic violence out of the celebritysphere and come to grips with the fact that it is everywhere.”

A place to start may be not blaming the victim (for not leaving) but rather supporting them in a way so they are able to come to terms with their situation.

Talking about it openly may

not solve the problem, but it may make it easier for those living with abuse to do something about it. Sometimes the most valuable support you can offer is your respect and nonjudgmental attitude. Isn’t that what we would want if we had to share our life story?

Bernadette McCann House for Women provides critical information, safety and support for women and children experiencing abuse. Call our 24-hour confidential help lines at 1-800-267-4930 or 613-732-3131.

JAIL BREAK

Metroland East Special Report

Barring treatment for the mentally ill Prisons are the new institutions for people with mental-health issues, say critics of Canada’s penal policies Blair Edwards blair.edwards@metroland.com

T

he day she learned her son was laying in a catatonic state in his prison cell, Farhat Rehman became an advocate for the rights of prisoners with mental-health problems.

Rehman remembers sitting nervously in the waiting room of Millhaven Institution, a federal maximumsecurity prison in Bath, Ont., near Kingston, last February.

Rehan Kurd had been convicted of second-degree murder and given a life sentence in 2005 with no possibility of parole for 15 years. While suffering from delusions, caused by his schizophrenia, Kurd had stabbed to death his friend and mentor Mohammed Khalil in Ottawa on Feb. 27, 2001.

It had only been a few months since Kurd had been transferred to Millhaven from Kingston Penitentiary, which shut down in November 2013.

The 42-year-old Ottawa man had served eight years at the Kingston Penitentiary’s regional treatment centre, which provided psychiatric care.

When the penitentiary closed in the fall of 2013, Kurd was moved to Millhaven, where his physical and mental health rapidly deteriorated, said his mother.

Doped up on risperidone, an antipsychotic used to treat his schizophrenia, he spent up to 24 hours a day laying on his bed in his prison cell.

Kurd had been placed in solitary confinement several times over the years – for as long as two to three months at a time, said Rehman.

In the past, Kurd had occasionally suffered bouts of illness during which he would sometimes “get loud,” said his mother, resulting in his transfer to the acute-care centre in the Kingston Penitentiary, where he was put in solitary confinement and kept under 24hour observation by a video camera.

The last time she had visited her son, in January 2014, Kurd was so groggy from the side effects of his medication, he could barely speak,

FILE/METROLAND

Rehan Kurd’s health rapidly deteriorated when he was transferred last year from the regional treatment centre at Kingston Penitentiary to Millhaven Institution, a maximum-security jail, says his mother and Ottawa resident, Farhat Rehman, who has since begun advocating for his transfer to a hospital.

Part 3: The press for changes to Canada’s prison system and how it treats prisoners with mental-health issues. said Rehman.

“He was falling asleep on his stool,” she said. “He couldn’t talk to me.”

Rehman had arranged an open visit with her son on Feb. 20, so they could sit together not separated by a glass partition and speak without the need for a telephone.

While she waited, a correctional officer appeared, asking her to follow him to his office.

“I’m sorry, but I went to get your son and he’s not responding,” the officer said, according to Rehman. “I think he’s comatose or something.

He’s not responding.”

A doctor came into the room and explained that her son refused to take his medication, clozaril, an antipsychotic used to treat schizophrenia in adults, so he was put back on risperidone, which caused drowsiness.

She begged the doctor to let her see her son and tell him she was there.

After another half hour his son ap-

20 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, October 2, 2014

peared in a closed visiting room.

“So I was put back into the enclosed (area) behind the glass, but at least I saw him,” said Rehman. “I talked to him and he was feeling groggy.”

During the three-hour drive home to Ottawa from the prison, Rehman heard a radio report that the federal government was funding two psychiatric beds for female prisoners at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre in Brockville.

“That was so hopeful for me,” said Rehman. “This is the time I can (start advocating) for my son.”

Rehman soon started writing letters to the Office of the Correctional Investigator of Canada, the federal and provincial ministries of correctional services, anyone who might be able to help her son.

The Office of the Correctional Investigator of Canada has since recommended Kurd receive care in a hospital, said his mother.

Kurd is just one of approximately three-dozen inmates serving time in Canada’s federal prisons who should receive care at a hospital, said Howard Sapers, the Correctional Investigator of Canada.

“There’s no doubt in my mind that we have individuals who will not benefit from a period of incarceration in any way,” he said. “Their mental illness will prevent them from being able to participate in any programming that would address their criminogenic needs and these are people who are profoundly mentally ill and diagnosed with significant psychiatric disorders and they need to be hospitalized.”

Sapers has also recommended federal jails stop the use of long solitary confinements of offenders with acute mental-health needs.

LACK OF BEDS

With a population of approximately 15,244 inmates, about 12 per cent, or 1,829 inmates, will be diagnosed with a significant mental illness, such as schizophrenia or major depressive disorder, said Sapers.

This translates into the need for a corresponding number of psychiatric inpatient beds, however the five regional treatment centres in Canada’s federal prison system only have approximately 675 beds – less than half what is needed.

To make matters worse, Correc-

tional Service Canada is in the process of decommissioning some of those beds.

“We’ve already identified that the CSC doesn’t have enough treatment beds to meet demand, but they’re actually closing some anyway,” said Sapers. “And it’s not because they’re empty right now, it’s just for other operational reasons, which only the Correctional Service Canada could explain.”

The CSC has come to the conclusion it has too many psychiatric beds based on the ratio of beds to the general population of Canada. The problem is you’re comparing apples to oranges, he said.

“They are actually quite candid in saying this is a work in process, that they’re trying to get the balance right.” said Sapers. “But my caution to them is, ‘Don’t experiment with people’s lives. If you’re trying to get the balance right, do your homework and then make your changes. Don’t make them running changes and put people at risk.’”

STAFF SHORTAGE

Correctional Service Canada is also struggling to hire the needed psychiatrists and psychologists.

“We’re seeing some big vacancies in some occupational groups,” said Sapers.

Last year, 10 per cent of the correctional services’ psychologist positions were left vacant, and the vacancy rate of other health-care workers – from nurses and pharmacists to doctors and social workers – hovered between five and 10 per cent.

Not only are these rates high, they don’t show the reality of the staffing gap, said Sapers.

“Some of the positions, which have been vacant for a long time have simply been eliminated,” said Sapers.

“So it makes your vacancy rate look smaller if you just stop trying to fill the position.”

Meanwhile, some of the positions have been underfilled, he said, meaning the correctional service has hired people with psychology degrees but who are not licensed by the provincial governing body for psychologists.

“And it’s not just psychologists,” said Sapers.

In the past, the correctional service has hired people with lesser credentials than required to do a job, which means they must fall under the supervision of someone who is qualified.

Metroland East Special Report

Continued from page 20

During the past decade, Canadian jails have seen an alarming increase in the number of inmates with mental illnesses.

Nearly half of all incarcerated federal offenders receive a mentalhealth service, according to statistics provided by the federal prisons’ ombudsman.

Correctional Service Canada estimates 13 per cent of male offenders and 29 per cent of female offenders in federal custody have mental-health problems when they are admitted to prison. These rates have doubled since 1996.

Meanwhile, one in four inmates in Ontario’s provincial jails have been identified as having a possible mental-health issue, according to the Ontario Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services.

Over the last decade, Correctional Service Canada has received approximately $50 million in shortterm funding to improve mentalhealth care delivered in federal prisons – $30 million for community mental-health funding and $21.5 million to fund key elements of its strategy, such as computer mentalscreening and training of front-line staff.

The correctional department received a further $16.6 million a year, this time in permanent funding, for institutional mental-health services in 2009.

But the federal government has a lot of catching up to do, according to a 2010 review of the CSC’s mental-health strategy commissioned by the federal prisons’ ombudsman.

“The government will need to invest significant amounts of money in mental health to make up for the decades of neglect to bring the (CSC) to a level of best practices and professional standards,” said John Service, in his report, Under Warrant, A Review of the Correctional Service of Canada’s Mental Health Strategy. “These investments will have to be made quickly and continue over the next decade or two.”

Too often, security trumped treatment, stated the report.

“CSC mental-health staff members were clear that too often security issues impede or prevent offenders from accessing programs and treatment, often for days and weeks at a time,” states the report.

The federal prisons’ ombudsman has recommended the CSC consider offering alternative forms of treatment, such as external healthcare providers, in some instances.

The CSC has rejected the recom-

mendation.

In 2011, a CSC consultant’s report concluded that a full transfer of CSC health services to other health-care authorities was impractical because Canada doesn’t have a national health-delivery authority.

Instead, Correctional Service Canada is always looking to develop partnerships with other agencies that provide mental health-care services, stated the CSC in response to the federal prisons’ ombudsman’s 2011-12 report.

For instance, Institut Philippe-Pinel, a forensic hospital in Montreal, provides inpatient psychiatric care to female offenders.

In federal prisons, most mentalhealth care is provided at one of the five regional treatment centres, where inmates receive treatment before being returned to the general prison population.

But services are in such high demand, the offenders are often released too early, according to a 2013 report by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.

“The high demand on (regional treatment centre) services also means that they are only available to those with the most acute mental illnesses and other inmates are left untreated or with a limited clinical attention,” states the report. “These offenders receive very little mental-health services and are instead placed in segregation as a security measure.”

On the provincial side, all inmates in Ontario jails have access to a variety of mental-health supports, including psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers, said Andrew Morrison, a spokesman for the Ontario Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services.

Corrections officers are also trained to detect possible signs of mental illness, he added.

Ontario jails have access to four specialized treatment centres for inmates with mental-health needs, he said, and the ministry partners with various social service agencies to provide the necessary programs and services when they are in cus-

tody and to assist them when they are discharged.

The province has invested $50 million since 2004 to expand community services such as crisis teams, dedicated beds, mental-health court workers, case managers and supportive housing.

But services provided in provincial jails are inconsistent at best, according to a 2012 study by the Schizophrenia Society of Ontario.

“Offenders with mental illness are extremely vulnerable in the federal and provincial corrections systems,” concluded the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health report. “Inmates with mental illness do not manage well in prison as demonstrated through disruptive behaviour, aggression, violence, withdrawal and refusal or inability to follow orders and rules.”

FALLING THROUGH THE CRACKS

The influx of prisoners identified as needing mental-health services isn’t a recent issue, according to Service, a former executive director of the Canadian Psychological Association.

This is a problem that has been decades in the making, starting in the 1960s with the deinstitutionalization of people with mental-health disorders across Canada, he states in his Under Warrant report.

With the advent of improved psychological care and pharmaceuticals, patients could receive treatment within their communities.

This worked for some, states the report, but “at the same time, many people with mental-health problems and disorders were left languishing, not receiving the treatment they needed and consequently coming to the attention of police and the courts.”

Critics of the federal government’s tough-on-crime legislation say a large percentage of offenders with mental-health issues are falling through the cracks of a system lacking necessary treatment and support.

Mental-health factors do not pro-

vide a strong indication of whether an inmate will reoffend, according to Public Safety Canada’s analysis of a collection of international studies on risk factors for recidivism among “mentally disordered offenders,” carried out between 1959 and 2011.

Some people with mental illnesses may commit a crime or “behave in ways that draw police attention,” according to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.

“How police respond to these interactions is an early predictor of one’s likelihood to be further involved in the justice system,” the centre’s report stated.

Heather Stuart, a professor of community health and epidemiology at Queen’s University, who holds the Bell Canada mental health and anti-stigma research chair, said that 60 to 80 per cent of people in jails and prisons would meet the criteria for having a mental disorder.

“That suggests to me that there is a high recidivism,” she said.

“It used to be that people would be in hospitals in the past, a lot of them, and so the theory goes – it’s called a balloon theory – and if you squeeze the balloon at one end the air goes out the other end, so there’s a certain number of people that may need institutional supports,” she said.

“When we closed the hospitals, we took those institutional supports away from them and we didn’t put any supports in the community to help them out to replace the hospitals,” said Stuart.

“A lot of them end up in jails, just because they’re out in the community.”

Farhat Rehman tried to find help in the community for her son – as a child he was referred to a family psychiatrist at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, and as an adult he was later diagnosed with depression and obsessive compulsive disorder.

“My son’s diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder was only confirmed in the assessment after he was apprehended in February 2001,” said Rehman.

Prisoners with mental-health issues who are judged not criminally responsible receive treatment in prisons and the possibility of leading a productive life, she said.

“But for those like my son, there seems to be nothing available except for a punishment model that results in lasting damage and no end to their incarceration.”

so their life stories can be included for public viewing at the Holten Canadian War Cemetery’s interpretation centre.

The task of gathering these items 70 years after the deaths of the 1,355 soldiers is a mammoth effort involving Canadian newspapers, veterans associations, military regiments and historical researchers. Newspaper obituaries from the Arnprior and McNab-Braeside Archives have been very helpful in giving some information about the three Arnprior soldiers.

Only the obituary of Harvey Smith carried a photograph of him in uniform at training camp.

Genealogy searches have indicated that Robert Storie May had siblings William Egbert, Flora ‘Florrie’ Dewar, John Stewart and Richard Gordon.

For Wilfrid Good, a search showed that he had siblings Faith and Richard.

Johnson has also found information on two other soldiers buried at the Holten cemetery: Walter Robert Brydges, 20, killed 1945-04-23 from the Black Donald Mine site and Hubert Edward Popkey, 28, killed 194507-01 from Combermere.

Hopefully that may change soon.

The Dutch people of Holten have never forgotten the Canadian soldiers killed during the liberation of the Netherlands in the last months of the war. They honour the sacriďŹ ces of the 1,355 Canadian soldiers who are buried in the large cemetery outside of their town about the size of Arnprior.

Every Christmas Eve, about 300 school children place lit candles on all the graves in a spiritual ceremony “to illuminate the names of those who otherwise might be forgotten,� according to the Act of Travelling blog.

Three Arnprior soldiers, who are buried there, were killed in action in April 1945. They are Pte. George Wilfrid Good, 21, son of Richard and Florence Good; Pte. Robert Storie May, 36, son of Richard and Flora May; and Pte. Harvey Francis Smith, 26, son of George and Ethel Smith.

CLR557501

A special occasion and milestone was celebrated this past September 13th by Willis and Dodie Gourlay at their home close by the historic Madawaska River. Willis’ 90th birthday (September 10) and Dodie’s 86th birthday (September 9) were marked with a special afternoon party held for family members, former and new neighbours, and friends.

The party was planned and organized by Susan (daughter) and husband Michael Berberick of Hamilton, Ontario. It was a very amiable happy gathering as all present enjoyed fine food, much picture taking and of course sharing the birthday cake.

Granddaughter Stephanie and her young Jones family of Jack (3+) and Willow (3 months) the great grandchildren were the first to sample the cake!

Willis and Dodie wish to thank all those at the party and also those in distant locations who sent “best wishes�, cards and gifts.

It is truly wonderful to have such a great family, caring, neighbours and many friends across our great land.

He had a nature you could not help loving, And a heart that was purer than gold, To those who knew him and loved him, His memory will never grow cold, He bade no one a last farewell, He said good-bye to none, The heavenly gates were opened wide, And a loving voice said “Come”.

Sadly missed for nineteen long years, Mom and Families

IN MEMORIAM

CLR556768-1002

In memory of my dear father; The years have swiftly passed away, But still, I don’t forget, For in the heart that loved you best, Your memory lingers yet.

You did so many things for me Dad, Your heart was kind and true And when I needed someone, I could always count on you.

For those of you who have your Dad Treat him with tender care.

Pray you never experience the heartache Of needing his guidance and he’s not there.

Missed, loved and remembered.

Your daughter Moya

In loving memory of Allan “Pat” Soucy September 26, 2013 The moment that you died My heart was torn in two, One side filled with heartache, The other died with you.

I often lie awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon my cheeks.

Remembering you is easy, I do it everyday, But missing you is heartache That never goes away.

I hold you tightly within my heart And there you will remain.

Until the joyous day arrives, That we will meet again.

Miss you & love you Yvonne, John and Susan

In loving memory of my dear husband and best friend We took our vows together, Said “Til death do us part” But when God came and took your hand, My whole world fell apart.

No one knows the heartache, I try so hard to hide, Only God knows how many times I’ve broken down and cried.

When I look back upon our lives, One of the things that makes me glad, Is that you chose me to share with you The precious years we had.

Till we meet again Love always Gail

He is gone, but not forgotten, And, as it dawns another year, In our lonely hours of thinking, Thoughts of him are always near.

Days of sadness will come o’er us, Many think the wound is healed, But they little know the sorrow, That lies in the heart concealed.

Twenty five years have gone by, Since you were called away.

How well we do remember, That somber autumn day.

Thoughts of you are always near, And memories brought to mind.

Days we do not think of you, Are very hard to find.

A helping hand to all you knew, The heart that won many friends.

A man so kind, and full of life, Too young for it to end.

No longer in our lives to share, Your face we cannot see.

But in our hearts you are always there, For that, we remember thee.

Council rejects rezoning to accommodate daycare

DAVID MCCARTNEY

T TES N O C

News – If Child’s Paradise Day Care Centre is moving, it won’t be to the Free Methodist Church in Renfrew.

The planning advisory committee, chaired by Coun. Jim Miller, recommended to town council rezoning of the closed church to accommodate the daycare centre.

The daycare’s present home is at nearby Renfrew County Place, but daycare centre owner Marcinda Pinsent has been looking to move to a location that has lower rent and more green space for play activities.

Miller noted there was some resistance to the idea from neighbours in and around the church building at 563 King Street, but that by the end of the recent planning advisory committee meeting there seemed to be solutions to some of their concerns, namely noise and traffic.

By the end of the committee meeting, Miller said “nobody was really against” the site-plan proposal.

Coun. Gail Cole said that wasn’t the impression she had after attending the same committee meeting. She said neighbours had concerns about noise and parking.

She also noted the Official Plan sets a template for zoning and therefore she felt compelled to support the local residents’ desire to retain their way of life.

WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED

“I know they’re upset, they are unhappy, but they’re hesitant to speak up,” said Cole at the Sept. 22 council meeting.

Coun. Tom Anderson and Mayor Bill Ringrose both expressed opposition to the rezoning to accommodate the daycare’s plans.

“I’m really torn on this one,” said Anderson, who was most concerned about traffic flow in the area.

“I have major concerns,” said Ringrose, noting these included the lack of space in the drop-off zone and location of the play area in front of the building.

He also expressed hope that there’s a more suitable, therefore more spacious, property for the daycare elsewhere in town.

Council voted 4-0 not to rezone the area. Coun. Miller abstained, Coun. Clint McWhirter declared a conflict of interest, and Coun.

Andrew Evans was absent due to sickness.

Earlier in the council meeting, Pinsent talked about the positives that the new location would bring to the daycare centre, including the

People to know, places to go, things to try, taste or buy!

BECAUSE YOUR BUSINESS IS OUR BUSINESS

nearby Fortington Park.

After council’s vote, Pinsent expressed her disappointment, but suggested she will continue to look for a new location in town.

“I think it was the wrong decision. I think they should have chosen differently,” said Pinsent, who’s renegotiating a lease renewal with the County of Renfrew, which owns Renfrew County Place.

“I love where we are, and I couldn’t ask for a better landlord,” said Pinsent, who says her rent is a little high.

“The children and parents love it, but our outdoor green space could be larger and we could have another egress out of our parking lot, besides O’Brien Road, so we can safely take our children for walks and not have to be concerned about using O’Brien.”

With 64 children in her daycare, she added, “Renfrew really is lacking large commercial properties that can accommodate us indoors and out.”

If the daycare had moved to King Street, the number of children would have been more or less retained, by dropping its number of toddlers and introducing space for six infants.

It’s prediction time as National Hockey League season approaches PETER CLARK Peter’s Putterings

Sports - It’s that time of the year again. Another week and the 2014-15 National Hockey League season will be in full swing, and so will predictions.

It won’t take me long to summarize Canadian-based teams.

Hopefully the Senators can prove me wrong, but I feel only one Canadian team will make the playoffs – and that’s Canadien, as in Montreal.

The Red Wings will keep the streak alive and creep into the postseason.

2005 lock-out year excluded, Detroit hasn’t missed the post-season since 1990. I’ll let you do the math.

Yankee Doodle Dandies: It was a farewell tour for long-time New York Yankees’ closer Mariano Rivera last year, and the ever-respected Derek

Jeter this season.

Now that Jeter’s time on the field as come and gone, we look ahead.

What Yankee will host a farewell tour next season? Major League Baseball might keep the streak going with Ichiro Suzuki.

Wolves top Arnprior Packers 5-3 Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - The Renfrew Timberwolves made their only game of the week a profitable one at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

The Wolves jumped out to a 2-0 lead in their Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League encounter Friday night, and maintained a two-goal margin much of the way in a 5-3 win over the Valley Division rival Arnprior Packers.

Lucas Gonu had a pair of markers for the Wolves.

Jacob Collins, Scott Conroy and Luka Marinic with his first goal added singles.

Luc Deschamps, Rob Darnowski and Kurtis Keohane allowed the Packers to hang around.

The win upped Renfrew’s pace-setting record in the Valley loop to 4-and-1.

WOLVES 5, ARNPRIOR 3

Gonu and Collins connected

in the first 12 minutes to give the Wolves a 2-0 edge.

Deschamps got one back for Arnprior late in the opening stanza.

The Wolves regained a twogoal cushion quickly in the middle frame.

Conroy converted a setup from defenceman Spencer Hill after just 10 seconds to put the Wolves in front 3-1.

Marinic and Darnowski exchanged tallies 30 secondes apart halfway through the period, leaving the Wolves in custody of a two-goal edge yet again, this time 4-2.

The Wolves did a good job protecting the lead in the third period, spending much of it in Arnprior territory.

But the Packers took advantage when the Wolves took their foot off the throttle late in the contest.

Keohane connected on a powerplay with 1:53 remaining to narrow the Renfrew lead to one.

Arnprior almost pulled even before Gonu ended the

suspense by potting his second of the night into an empty Packers net with 31 seconds remaining.

The Wolves Matt Gagne blocked 34 of 37 Arnprior shots to earn the goaltending triumph.

Gagne was busiest in the first period when the Packers challenged him 17 times.

Packers goalkeeper Dominic Plaschy turned away 30 of 35 Renfrew shots.

The teams combined for just six penalties, three apiece.

The Wolves hit the road for a pair of games this weekend.

They are on the Quebec side to meet the Pontiac Juniors at the Pontiac Silverdome in Shawville Friday at 8 p.m.; and then challenge the defending Valley Division champion Almonte Thunder Saturday in Almonte at 7:30 p.m.

Sports - A sevenweek Renfrew Rush Basketball Association/Small Ball program gets underway next week in the gymnasium at Queen Elizabeth Public School.

Small Ball is an inclusive community basketball program designed for children five to 14 years old, teaching the fundamental skills of basketball, using equipment and a game that has been modified to suit younger players needs and differences.

An older session has been added this year for 12-to 14-year-olds for increased game play using the skills developed in small ball programs.

“From this initiative, I hope to develop fun-

damental skills, sportsmanship and a love of the game for basketball,” said head instructor Vicki Wilson.

“This grassroots program supports schools and other institutions across Canada in an effort to positively influence youth through basketball.

“The goal of the program is to allow participants the opportunity to maximize their potential, while promoting the importance of youth basketball as a vehicle to build character, discipline and selfesteem.”

A two-time all-Canadian with Queen’s University and 20years coaching and camp instruction, Wilson is joined this year

by Stars basketball coach and certified instructor Scott Davis.

Raiders busy on early-season sports front Grenville in the semifinal.

The Junior Raiders flew past the Falcons 39-4 in league play, buoyed by 13 points from Elizabeth Scott.

Georgia Clemmer, Danielle Kubiseski, Ashley Hubert and Delaney Leavoy also turned in good efforts.

The Raiders overcame a 2-0 deficit to win a season-opening 3-2 cliffhanger over the Bishop Smith Crusaders in senior boys volleyball action Sept. 24 in Pembroke.

Junior volleyball returned to RCI after a couple of years’ absence.

The Raiders didn’t win, but they did show a marked improvement as the match moved on. RCI won the third set, but Bishop Smith got off the court with a 3-1 victory.

Senior girls rugby made its debut, and the Raiders didn’t fare badly as they hung tough before dropping a 15-5 decision to the homestanding Opeongo Wildcats.

Nikie Nagy scored what will go down as RCI’s first try.

The Senior Raiders bounced back from a season-opening loss with a 2213 win over the Mackenzie Mustangs in Renfrew County High School Football League action at Deep River Friday afternoon.

Sports - The Renfrew Collegiate Raiders girls basketball teams split a season-opening hoops doubleheader against the Arnprior Redmen at the Grant Gymnasium Sept. 24.

In a game highlighted by quality defence from both teams, the Senior Raiders toppled Arnprior 23-19.

Sage Melville and Andrea Martin netted seven points each for RCI. Arnprior claimed the junior encounter 47-22. Delaney Leavoy had eight points for the Raiders.

On Thursday, both Raiders teams dominated in Pembroke.

The senior girls prevailed by a 5823 margin over the Fellowes Falcons, backed by a big performance from Andrea Martin with 24 points.

The Senior Raiders also travelled to Kingston Saturday for tournament action.

In RCI’s first game, Sage Melville nailed a three-point shot with .3 seconds remaining to send the game into overtime. The Raiders went on to beat Bayridge 34-31. RCI also topped Queen Elizabeth of Kingston 43-19 before losing 43-30 to North

Austin Scheuneman had a touchdown, convert and single point for the Raiders. Adam Martin and Josh Thero also had major scores for RCI. Auston Pierce added a two-point convert.

Billy Karras threw a pair of touchdown passes. He and Phil Kadlec shared quarterbacking duties.

The Junior Raiders upped their Lanark-Renfrew league record to 2and-0 with a 13-8 win over the Notre Dame Celtic Warriors in Carleton Place Thursday.

Quarterback Brendan Barber and Alex Arbour accounted for RCI’s major scores while Bailey Smith added a convert.

Other highlights for the Junior Raiders included a touchdown-saving tackle by Evan Gillan after he ran down a Celtic Warrior over 85 yards.

Zach Moran returned a punt 40 yards to set up a score, while the defence kept Notre Dame out of the endzone after the Warriors scrimmaged first down from the RCI five-yard line.

Unfortunately for the Raiders, they lost Barber for the foreseeable future, and probably the season, with a broken arm.

Other champs were B Flight Scott’s Shoes 59, C Flight Pontiac 60, and D Flight Beatty Pilgrim Construction 64. A new cash game from 100 yards out on hole No. 18 provided some extra fun at the end of the day. Jesse Riopelle hit his shot about 17 feet from pin, good enough to take a collection of money to his teammates.

Both RCI football teams continue to live on the road this week.

Grain would be plentiful.

The cows would be healthy and ready to give us milk for our own use, and to take to the creamery.

That year, it had been a good season. One amongst few in those Depression years.

With enough feed to care for our livestock until the next crop was ready, the cellar full of vegetables and preserves, the meat house full of meat, and barrels of salt pork and sauerkraut at the ready; we had survived another year.

And when I sat at the old pine table, as darkness came to the kitchen, I would look over at Father in the rocking chair, and I would say my silent thanks, and I would know why his face no longer had that weary look, nor would his eyes be heavy from the lack of sleep.

The time to worry was over.

All that could be done to survive had been done.

There was nothing left to do, but cherish the warmth of home, and give grateful thanks.

That one year in those lean ’30s, I knew in my very young heart, just looking at the change in Father, we had been blessed beyond measure.

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

would be faced with torrential rain.

Or he would look for clouds if we were going through a dry spell that threatened to rob us of the grain that would see us through another winter.

It seemed to me back then, that once the trees had turned, Father looked different, and he acted differently than he did on the days that had gone before us.

He still went to the barns every night to check on the animals in the barns, but he no longer looked anxiously out at the night sky, trying to read what the next day would bring.

I thought, back then, by the time the fall weather was ready to settle in, that his face didn’t wear the weariness I saw nightly during the summer.

He ate his supper more slowly, and I was quick to notice every page of the Ottawa Farm Journal was read, and he stayed longer in the old rocking chair by the Findlay Oval, as the darkness of the fall night closed in around us.

And once he had taken one last trip out to the barns, instead of heading right for his bed, he lingered in the kitchen, lighting his pipe, and taking one last cup of green tea.

And I would know.

I would know without asking why this change in Father from one season to the

Lifestyle - The old maple tree in the front yard had turned crimson, and all around the farm, that year, I could tell that soon we would be settling in for the cold days of fall, and then winter would be upon us.

The season’s change had come as a great relief to me, although I still waited for signs from Father that all was well.

You see, it was the height of the Depression, and every day I knew was a challenge for him... a challenge to survive yet another year, and then a comfort to know that the summer had yielded good crops and the winter ahead would be one of contentment.

That didn’t mean of course, that there wouldn’t be work to be done.

The long winter months would be filled with chores, but there wouldn’t be days of worry about a drought that could wipe out the fields of grain, or endless rain equally as damaging.

Winter would be a time of catching up on fixing broken-down stalls in the cow byre, hauling in wood from the bush, and fixing harnesses, and mending aging machinery.

But by the time the end of summer was upon us, I could see a change in Father.

Although he talked little about it, I knew just by looking at him, that his mind for months had been on survival.

The summer months could make or break us, and I was old enough to sense in Father an uneasiness at the end of each day. His days, during those summer months began before daybreak, as he strived to make use of every waking hour while the weather held.

At night, as the darkness descended on us, I would watch Father go to the back door and look out at the sky, looking for any sign that the weather would change and we

He gradually increased his distance with daily runs and qualified for his first of four Boston Marathons within a year.

Mr. Poirier will be missed.

However, he hopes to continue helping out with cross country after next June.

“I’ll keep coaching as long as Madame will put up with me,” he joked.

When asked of other plans after retirement, Poirier said, “I’d like to do something physical, like a club, to make the people of Renfrew more active. So many people just sit at home; the fitter the public, the better the society.”

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bird!. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a plane! No, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s JoAnne Matthie returning to earth.

Flying through the air with the greatest of ease Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Community - When JoAnne Matthie of Renfrew was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2000, she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprised. She knew she had mild symptoms since her 20s.

By 2013 Jo-Anne was only able to walk a little, with the help of a walker or cane.

Holding her grandson, born in 2011, without assistance seemed impossible, let alone going on walks and playing hockey on the driveway or living room with him.

Then in July of 2013 a miracle happened. Matthie sud-

denly, and with no explanation, started to feel better.

She still has MS afflictions, but only minor, compared to what she had gone through.

Today, Matthie not only plays with grandson River, but also enjoys her passion for gardening.

On Sept. 27, she also did something else she could only dream about a decade ago â&#x20AC;&#x201C; go skydiving.

At the age of 62, Jo-Anne made her first jump at Mile High Parachuting at Arnprior.

On a fittingly bright and sunny Saturday afternoon, Matthie hopped onto a plane, leaving family and friends on

the ground below, and returned to view 20-25 minutes later, gliding back down to earth in her parachute, attached to her instructor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was great. I just loved it. Ya, it was wonderful,â&#x20AC;? Matthie said of her descent from 10,000 feet (three kilometres). â&#x20AC;&#x153;I kept hearing that Crowbar song in my head, Oh what a feelinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, what a rush!â&#x20AC;?

Matthie also said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go again.

Above and beyond an experience of a lifetime, Jo-Anne also used the jump as an opportunity to raise awareness and funds to help those locally who are afflicted with MS.

THANK-YOU very much to Bromley Farm Supply for purchasing my last 4-H steer.

What a way to end my last year in 4-H!

I would also like to send out a BIG THANK-YOU to all the bidders who bid at the 4-H sale.

Legacy Gift will generate $42.2 MILLION for CHEO over next 100 years Weldon Cochrane was an Ottawa chartered accountant and partner with the accounting firm of Coopers and Lybrand (now PriceWaterhouseCoopers) and was also the Treasurer on the CHEO Foundation Board. Mr. Cochrane had an appreciation for the importance of leaving a legacy and understood how to make an impact when he decided to made a gift in his Will to CHEO. He left the residual of his estate with instructions for it to be endowed; meaning that the capital would be preserved in perpetuity and the annual interest would be used to fund the important work at CHEO. When Mr. Cochrane died in 1985 the CHEO Foundation received $540,000

from his estate and established the Weldon Cochrane Endowment Fund as directed in his Will. Much has happened and changed at CHEO since his death and in that time his legacy gift has grown to $4.6 million.

(20%) will be reinvested bringing the total value of the fund to $6.2 million. In 50 years $15 million (80%) will go to the hospital and $3.8 million (20%) will be reinvested bringing the total value of the fund to $8.4

As CHEO marks its 40th anniversary this year, we look back and honour not only those in our community who made our local children’s hospital a reality, but also donors like Mr. Cochrane who made children a priority. Why not honour what is most important to you during your lifetime The impact of Mr. Cochrane’s generous gift is probably beyond what by considering a gift in Will to CHEO.

Great revelations: Canada and Church Services Canadians in the 1921 census Trinity-St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Presbyterian The Renfrew Church Blaine Marchand

Bromley Historical Society

Historians and family genealogists have long recognized the importance of census records in carrying out their work. The recent release of the 1921 Canadian Census records has reinforced this. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prior to the release of the 1921 Census last year, there had been a large debate in Canada about the value of the census,â&#x20AC;? says retired archivist and historian Glenn Wright. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But without question, people flock to the census when it is released to find key information about their family history.â&#x20AC;?

Wright, who was, until recently, President of the British Isles Family History Society of Greater Ottawa, will give a presentation on the importance of the 1921 Canadian census in tracing the roots of your family.

Sponsored by the Bromley Historical Society, it will take place on Sunday,

Oct. 5 at 2 p.m. at the Old Town Hall, 498 Micksburg Rd., Osceola. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Interestingly, the Canadian census has evolved over the years as our country has,â&#x20AC;? says Wright. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For example, prior to 1921, it was simply assumed a person was either single or married. But in 1921, the categories separated and divorced were added.

Canada is very fortunate indeed to have had a census even prior to Confederation, since 1851. It is a very valuable document for genealogical research.â&#x20AC;?

During his career, Wright has been a researcher for Pierre Berton, and for popular TV programs about history and genealogy, in addition to working for the Public Archives of Canada for 30 years. He has also written about Canadians at war, home children and other issues, in addition to giving talks on family history and genealogy.

Following the free presentation, refreshments will be served.

peter4renfrewreeve@gmail.com Hello: As municipalities struggle to find new revenue and define themselves they also need to communicate a vision of who they want to become. The following are a few ideas.

Renfrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Future and Preparing for it Our community and business should be encouraged by the positive efforts of the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village (RAHSV) the community and the Renfrew Industrial Commission (RIC) in identifying the importance of health services to the health of our residents and families and the economic well being of our community.

Overall unemployment in Canada remains at 7% and in our area it has hovered about 9 or 10% with unemployment for young at the mid teens and slightly higher in Eastern Ontario. Hoping for the U S to lead the recovery is a dubious strategy. It is slowly recovering but focused inward on itsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; own issues. The Eurozone is in a long term and seemingly never ending recession and fracturing discussion about currency and membership. Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy is slowing. The Russians are concentrating on getting bigger in a game of armed chicken with most of the world.

Economic growth in our community will be achieved by you and me and not by government fiscal policy. The province is in full down sizing and clawing back funds from municipalities mode and the feds are waiting to bank roll their election with goodies, paid for by you, in 2015 and arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to try and improve Canadians lot before then.

A basic premise we start with is Small Business is the sector to partner with as we stimulate growth. They show leadership, they are innovative, they are lean, they understand and chase new technology, they master and harness social media and they know their audience. Plus they create a bond with their customers because we as consumers most often deal with who we like.

County of Renfrew to enhance its message on restructuring AECL steve.newman@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The County of Renfrew will spend up to $15,000 to hire a government-relations firm to effectively communicate the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals for restructuring the Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. facilities in Deep River and Chalk River.

In a nutshell, the general goal is to see AECL thrive within a GOCO (government-owned, contractor-operated) model. The model is expected to be federally approved in late 2015 and operational by January 2016.

The AECL restructuring team members are Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon, county councillors Bob Sweet of Petawawa, Dick Rabishaw of Laurentian Hills and David Thompson of Deep River, Pembroke Mayor Ed Jacyno, George Hodgkinson of Laurentian Valley, Paul Curtis of Community Futures Development Corporation-Renfrew County and Alastair Baird, economic development manager for the county. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we, as Canadians and the Canadian government, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t act with the intention of allowing the Canadian nuclear industry to flourish, then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to lose additional investment and the brain power,â&#x20AC;? said

Emon after the Sept. 24 meeting of county council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Therefore, it is necessary for the county to relay the importance of the GOCO model. When itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s correctly applied it allows research to be turned into market opportunities that will extend to this community and the rest of Canada. The danger is that if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it, someone will take those bodies and brains offshore, and benefit from 60 years of investment from the Canadian taxpayer and this community of Renfrew County.â&#x20AC;?

Based on submitted requests for proposal, two senior staff members for the county â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Baird and director of development and property Paul Moreau â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will select a company for the communications work.

County council unanimously passed a resolution approving the use of $15,000 from the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rural economic development reserve.

The lengthy resolution addresses the importance of convincing the federal government of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;need to emphasize the science and technology, and research and development, aspects of AECLâ&#x20AC;? within a GOCO model.

The resolution also says it â&#x20AC;&#x153;is vitally important that the science and technology richness of AECL be

If we, as Canadians and the Canadian government, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t act with the intention of allowing the Canadian nuclear industry to flourish, then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to lose additional investment and the brain power.

We are blessed to live in a region of so many colours Diana Wakely Renfrew Art Guild

Lifestyle - Colours! Colours! We are so blessed to live here.

Fall brings us Mother Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gift of colour, from the deep reds of the sumac to the bright yellows of the birches, topped off with the red maples, we are hit with spectacular colours.

And there is that time when it rains and tree bark is almost black against the fabulous hues and makes every artist ready to grab a brush and try to

capture the scene.

Though many of us dread the threat of the approaching winter, how dull our lives would be without these wonderful changes.

It is time to get ready for another season of events, meetings and the day-to-day routines, which govern our fall and winter lives.

The Renfrew Art Guild is getting back to meetings the first Tuesday of the month at Trinity-St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church in Renfrew.

It is a time when we share what we have been doing with others in the

group. We call that part of the meeting â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;members accomplishments.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It gives us the push to try to bring something

this summer.

We are also asking those who travelled this past summer to bring along a favourite photo(s) to share with the group.

We will also be planning workshops and programs for the winter.

Santa is not the only one who comes down the chimney

DK A E R CLIC

JIM FERGUSON Scene from the Hawk’s Eye hooded merganser and common merganser nest in tree cavities two yards (1.9 m) above ground and often up to a mile (1.5 km) from water. It is unfortunate that the bird could not be identified. These species will use nest boxes to lay their eggs and raise their young as well.

SANDHILL CRANES

Gayle and Roy Olmstead saw two large flocks of 30 to 40 sandhill cranes along the Beachburg to Lapasse Road. At one time seeing a single crane was unusual but the numbers have increased rapidly in the past 20 years.

This large crane is easy to identify in flight, the long neck out front and the long dangling legs out back make the task an easy one. On the ground the tall stature, gray plumage (may be tan), red forehead patch, bustle

and loud honking call are all good field marks.

Cranes gather in large flocks in preparation for the fall migration.

During the day they feed in grain fields and roost at night in the middle if shallow marshes, lakes or rivers.

Sandhill cranes winter in the south western states of the United States and northern parts of Mexico and feed in grain fields. They are not welcomed by those farmers growing grain in the area.

PILEATED WOODPECKER

JIM FERGUSON

The larger nest hole is that of a belted kingfisher; the smaller holes are Mary Steele sent us pictures of a those of a bank swallow. pileated woodpecker testing out a drumming tree. At this time of year this woodpecker drums out a message to all other woodpeckers that the area has already been claimed.

The birds need a winter feeding territory and a well protected roosting site. The territory may be different than the spring and summer nesting territory which must have adequate food sources, a roosting site and a nesting site. The sites are excavated with very powerful strikes that can produce chips several inches long.

The sites are long rectangular or oval holes and may extend through the tree. There is no problem identifying the work of a pileated woodpecker.

BANK SWALLOWS

The bank swallow is one of the many aerial insectivores that have declined dramatically in recent decades. This summer, it listed as threatened in Ontario because of significant population declines of 4.7 per cent annually over the last 40 years. Due to our active involvement in bank swallow research, Bird Studies Canada applied for and has received the contract to develop the recovery strategy for bank swallows in Ontario.

We can help by identifying locations in this area where bank swal-

lows nest. Bank swallows are gregarious and nest in large colonies. They prefer open-faced gravel pits, road cuttings, outside winter sand piles and natural sand banks.

There are usually two sizes of holes in the sand. The larger ones are excavated by belted kingfishers and the smaller ones by bank swallows.

We would appreciate any information you can provide about nesting sites of bank swallows.

Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, RR 5, Renfrew, Ont., K7V 3Z8. Phone 631432-2738 or email jameshf@xplornet.com

Lifestyle - Corrine and Jerry Sauve on the Kerr Line sent us this account of an unusual discovery.

Hi, Jim and Ila: Here’s a first for us. Thursday, my husband Jerry went up on the roof to clean out our chimney. We have a two-storey house and the chimney is very long. He cleaned it out and then went into the basement to clean out the soot he had swept down. He opened up the clean-out and when he started to pull out the soot, he found a brown spotted egg. It was the size of a large hen’s egg or a little bigger. He then reached way back and felt something large and solid. It was a dead duck! We couldn’t tell what kind it was because it was so dirty and we had to get it out of the house quickly. We have had the occasional starling go down the chimney, but never a duck and an egg to boot.

Good birding, Corrine and Jerry Sauve.

Thank you for this account. A female duck very likely flew down the chimney laid her egg and could not make her way to the outside and died. Duck eggs are very light in colour and a bit porous and after two or three months in the soot the egg would have become much darker and spotted.

Wood duck, common goldeneye,
