How we use the internet is evolving, but can your internet provider keep up?

We all love the Internet. Thanks to the availability of millions of new services and apps (as of March 2017, Apple’s App Store alone offered 2.2 million apps1), the Internet is making it easier than ever to work, socialize, play, shop, learn, share and keep ourselves entertained from our laptops, tablets and phones. Our nation spends more time online than any other (36.7 hours/month2) as we use our computers to watch movies and TV, our tablets to read, and our smartphones to browse and play. Internet usage is at an all-time high, as 89% of Canadians connect to the Internet.2 In fact, high-speed Internet has become so important to us that 73% of Canadians say they would be unlikely to purchase a home that didn’t have access to high-speed Internet.2

anything about these problems, so you wait for the connection to improve. Why does this happen?

Often, it is because of something called “peak hours.”

Peak hours are times of the day when more people are online. Maybe your neighbours are streaming movies, sending emails or just surfing the web. It is during these peak hours, when everyone is online at the same time, that some Internet service providers cannot keep up with demand and your connection becomes unreliable. Considering how important the Internet can be in day-to-day life, the challenges of a bad connection can feel endless.

Does your Internet provider give you the freedom you’re looking for?

We demand a lot of our Internet service, especially with more people online at the same time.

Whether kicking back and relaxing, helping the kids with a school projector putting in some overtime from home, Canadians are more connected than ever. Unfortunately, many of us have difficulty finding an Internet provider that can keep up, all because of where we live. As technology evolves, those who live outside of urban areas continue to be limited to what entertainment we can enjoy, how our families can connect, and where we can work. We should be beyond this problem, shouldn’t we?

If you’re spending time online (and who isn’t these days?), you’re likely familiar with the frustration of slow connection speeds, or an Internet connection that simply doesn’t work.

We’ve all experienced these problems: Netflix slows to a standstill, emails sit in your outbox, or that dreaded icon spins endlessly in the middle of your screen. You feel helpless to do

The Town of Renfrew and the Golden Age Activity Centre advisory committee signed a memorandum of understanding during the Renfrew council meeting on Sept. 26. Dave Bennett, president of Renfrew & Area Seniors’ Home Support, Nellie Kingsbury, chair of the advisory committee, Jasper Lafrance, treasurer, and Renfrew Mayor Don Eady share a laugh as they sign the official paperwork. The agreement confirms $10,675 in funding per year for the next five years to the centre. The centre required the funding guarantee to assist in federal and provincial grant applications. Reeve Peter Emon said it made sense for council to provide a vehicle for funding for five years as it demonstrates they have a longstanding relationship with the town. Kingsbury said with the funding a weight was lifted and when the grant application comes out they will have this funding requirement met.

Frewtober is back and more events than ever are planned to celebrate fall in Renfrew.

This is the second year for the fall festival with numerous events planned during October.

Coun. Arlene Jamieson is the chair of Renfrew council’s tourism committee and says they are building on the success of last year.

“It was the start of something and there is nothing else on at this time of year,” said Jamieson. “This is the perfect time of year.”

One of the first big events is the Best Pie Contest on Oct. 5 at noon at town hall.

On Oct. 14 is the second annual Craft Beer & Food Truck Festival in downtown Renfrew and Low Square from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

“We have added some more craft breweries,” said Jamieson.

“It will be great and it’s a nice way to enjoy the outdoors.”

As well, the fireworks that were postponed from Canada Day will go from the roof of town hall at dusk approximately.

There is no admission fee to the festival, however beer sample tickets are $2 each.

Breweries that are attending the event include: Whitewater Brewing Company, Calabogie Brewing Company, Cartwright Springs Brewery, Perth Brewery, Square Timber Brewing Company, Beau’s, Broadhead Brewing Company, Tuque Brewery, Dominion City Brewing Company, Kichesipppi Beer Company, and Laurentian Brew Kombucha (non-alcoholic).

The food trucks that will be there include: Big D’s Dog House & Poutine Emporium, Redneck Bistro, the Pork Chop Express, Mr. Churritos, Caffeine Fix and Rico Peru.

Another exciting aspect of Frewtober is the contest for Best Decorated Downtown Window.

“It’s all about creating a super month of things to get the community involved,” said Jamieson.

“It says a lot when people visit and see the businesses decorated. We got a lot of positive feedback last year and it shows good community spirit when stores get involved.”

Ballots are available in the Renfrew Mercury as well as a full event listing on pages 16 and 17. The ballots are due

by Oct. 25 at 10 a.m.

Police release name of suspect in fatal Arnprior crash Police have named and charged the suspected 20-year-old driver of the Monday, Sept. 25 crash on Daniel Street that claimed the life of 65-yearold Sheila Welsh of Arnprior.

In a press release issued Tuesday

evening (Sept. 26) just after 7 p.m.

Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) announced that Zachary Wittke of Eganville is being held in custody pending a bail hearing on Sept. 29.

It was adjorned in court that day. A

In Loving Memory Of My Husband & Soulmate

Allan Alexander James October 3rd, 2016

His smile is gone forever His hand I cannot touch I still have so many memories Of the one I loved so much.

His memory is my keepsake with which I’ll never part, God has him in his keeping I have him in my heart.

We used to Laugh and say “we didn’t think we had it all together – but together we had it all” SO IT IS !

Sadly Missed but never forgotten.

With All Of My Love

bail hearing was set for Oct. 3.

Wittke is charged with: dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death; flight while being pursued by police; driving while disqualified; and with theft of a motor vehicle over $5,000.

Wittke is known to police. In April of 2016 he received a lifetime driving ban and a 10-year weapons ban after pleading guilty to theft of a vehicle, possession of a weapon, uttering a death threat and threatening a peace officer, among other related charges The charges stemmed from an incident in which he filmed himself driving a stolen truck and posted the clip to Facebook, claiming he was “homicidal and suicidal.” That incident ended when police apprehended him at an Ottawa Chapters, where he suffered self-inflicted knife wounds. He was sentenced to two years in jail at that time. As a young offender, Wittke was involved in an incident that spanned the U.S. border and ended with a high speed pursuit and a number of felony charges.

On Monday, Sept. 25 at approximately 3:20 p.m., OPP officers of the Renfrew detachment responded to a driving complaint involving a stolen vehicle. The same vehicle was later involved in a fail to remain collision in Renfrew.

Derek Dunn/Metroland

Officers from the Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police investigate the Monday, Sept. 25 crash on Daniel Street in Arnprior that killed 65-year-old Sheila Welsh and sent the 20-year-old male suspect from Eganville to hospital.

Responding OPP officers observed the suspect vehicle on Highway 17 traveling eastbound in the area of Calabogie Road. Shortly after, the suspect vehicle was involved in a multi-vehicle collision on Daniel Street in Arnprior where Welsh was pronounced dead at the scene.

A criminal investigation is being conducted with members of the OPP Renfrew Detachment under the direc-

tion of Major Case Manager, Detective Inspector Rob Hagerman of the Criminal Investigation Branch.

The OPP notified the province’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU), which invoked its mandate. As a result the OPP will not be able to provide any further information.

SIU has put out a call for witnesses with any information to call 1-800787-8529.

Arnprior crash victim’s children in disbelief Family lived many years in Douglas DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

The children of the woman killed on Daniel Street in Arnprior on Monday, Sept.

25 were in utter disbelief today.

Sheila Welsh was pulling out of her driveway to pick up her grandchildren at school when her car was crushed by a pickup truck.

The grandmother of five died soon after.

Her children, Sarah Welsh-Butterly and Jason Welsh, said they keep playing the scenario over and over in their minds. If only she pulled out 10 seconds beforehand or 30 seconds later.

“I’m still in shock,” Jason said. “You replay it in your mind.”

Sarah said she feels completely sad and shocked. Her mother knew many people in town, even though she arrived under three years ago. She had numerous connections with Metroland Media, and was constantly having lunch with friends in Pembroke, Perth, Ottawa

and points between. Sarah said her mom made friends easily and was known to be kind, caring, funny, and loyal.

“She would do anything for her grandkids,” Sarah said. “She’d drive people to doctor’s appointments in Ottawa. She was a very caring woman; a heart of gold.”

Her favourite hobby was taking photos of her grandchildren, she said.

The family lived 35 years west of Renfrew, in the village of Douglas. Sheila, who grew up a Lyons, graduated from Renfrew Collegiate Institute. She worked at Renfrew No Frills, the Stewart Hartshorn plant before that.

She and husband Bob moved to Arnprior to be closer to their grandchildren. However, in March, after a spell of ill health, Bob died of a heart attack.

“It was a shock, but not nearly as much as this,” Jason said, adding that she was planning a trip to Florida to help get over her grief.

It would be her first plane flight.

Funeral focuses on victim’s love for family and friends DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

The church in Renfrew was almost full for the service of Sheila Welsh, the victim of a fatal car collision in Arnprior on Sept.

25.

Family and friends at St. Francis Xavier Church surrounded the 65-year-old’s urn and photo last Saturday morning. Words of comfort spoke to her willingness to dedicate time and energies

to others, and to how much she loved her children and adored her five grandchildren.

Her husband Bob passed away last March 19. Many at the funeral were from Douglas, where the family lived for more than three decades. After the funeral, the reception was moved to Our Lady of Fatima.

Donations in her memory may be made to The Heart and Stroke Foundation or Diabetes Association.

He can’t understand how the driver, whose name was yet to be released at the time, could allegedly steal a truck in Eganville and wind up in town.

“How did it get that far, to downtown Arnprior and hit my mother,” Jason said. “I know

everyone is doing their job to figure out what happened. But why did this guy go on a rampage? I’m really mad about it.”

Sarah agrees, saying she feels frustrated by the situation.

However, both are grateful for the many

messages and phone calls pouring in. They’ve even heard from complete strangers.

“People that didn’t even know her. They’re just shocked and upset, and she’s not even from here,” Jason said. “We really feel the love and support.”

Basil Borutski’s trial starts in Ottawa, expected to last into 2018 STAFF

An Ottawa Valley man facing three first-degree murder charges sat quietly through the first day of his trial on Oct. 2.

Basil Borutski is accused of killing three women: Carol Culleton, 66, Anastasia Kuzyk, 36, and Nathalie Warmerdam, 48; in the Wilno area on Sept. 22, 2015.

Borutski remained silent during the court proceedings and the judge said the presumption

of innocence is inherent in Canadian law; therefore the court would take his silence as a plea of not guilty. Borutski is defending himself and the court has appointed him an “amicus curaie,” or “friend of the court,” whose job it is to ensure an accused without a lawyer gets a fair trial.

There are 75 prospective jurors and the selection process was scheduled to continue on Oct. 3. The crown attorney read a list of more than 100 names of potential witnesses. The trial is expected to continue into 2018.

Try to be cyber safe

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and law enforcement agencies are trying to use the opportunity to make the public more aware of the risks associated with being online.

It is sometimes difficult for many of us to figure out which digital ads or social media posts are legitimate, which is why police are offering safety tips and best practices in order to reduce the risk of becoming a victim of fraud or identity theft.

For example, the OPP’s campaign is focused on four broad themes: identity theft; online child safety; online shopping and safe trade zones; and the OPP cyber crime investigations team.

Online and digital crimes in Canada are already estimated to total in the billions of dollars, and police are warning that the losses are expected get even worse as next-generation crime devices and schemes evolve and become more advanced.

We know that scams that are not that new are still making the rounds

and finding more victims, a recent example of which is a business that received unsolicited emails advertising heavy equipment for sale that were reportedly based on information lifted from legitimate auction and sales sites.

The victim follows up with the apparently legit source of the emails and, after completing a wire transfer, is provided with excuses as to why the equipment has not been delivered and communicating has been difficult.

In addition to using caution when dealing with unsolicited emails, the public is being reminded of caller ID spoofing in which the telephone number on display is a local or familiar number to trick the potential victim into placing trust with the caller when, in fact, the call could be coming from anywhere in the world.

Try not to feel embarrassed about reporting a loss after being duped, police emphasize. You are not alone, and sharing your experience could save others from a similar outcome.

To stand or not to stand, is that really the question here?

To the editor:

Standing or kneeling is amongst several questions we have in relation to all that’s been happening lately.

What started a year ago as a protest initiated by a NFL football player bringing awareness to the difficulties faced by black Americans in relation to their treatment by law enforcement has since ballooned. To introduce change you need to be noticed, so the player felt taking a knee during the US national anthem would be the platform he needed. Fast forward a year and where are we now? “What we have here is a failure to communicate.” Remember the good ol’ days when that was model we could follow to find a solution to most of our conflicts. Why can’t we all just talk things over and get along? Common ground is where the solution is found. Now that sounds great in all, but nobody accounted on social media to pop by for a visit. It’s that visitor who has since moved into the spare room and added its name on the family answer-

ing machine. Like it or not, it’s here to stay.“With great power comes great responsibility.” Wow, never a more relevant statement could be made. Social media is the platform where everyone can voice their opinions and respond instantly to current events. The floodgates of information and communication are now open and nobody regulates what is fact or what’s fiction.

Remember back to the good ol’ days when you had to write a letter to the editor to have your opinions heard. Not so long ago a president had to set up a press conference to express their views on the nation. It is a process designed to enable the communicator time to reflect on the consequences of their statement. We now have a medium that has removed the filter of reflection and jumps right to expression. It’s easy to get caught sending out tweets that may be lacking the fortitude that’s necessary from the voice of a leader. Without this filter we can miss the importance of decompressing prior to transmitting on emotional issues. For Trump, I’d rec-

ommend having a hyperbaric chamber on standby and the batteries removed from his phone. His disregard for calm so obvious, that I have begun to question if it’s not intentional. We understand that he must protect nationalism and kneeling during the anthem is disrespectful, but at what cost? How can he believe that he’s protecting nationalism when he’s simultaneously dividing a country? It’s an oxymoronic thing to do. It has me thinking. Tactically, it’s better to pretend that you’re a lot stupider (that’s me deliberately trying to be funny) than you actually are. It’s far better than the alternative of pretending to be smarter than you really are.

So what started as a demonstration for awareness a year later had been lost, or at least gone missing.

Instead of address the long standing issues on racism, we are talking about how the people who fought to protect the freedom of others are being disrespected. The irony being that American minorities were drafted to fight more than anyone else in Ameri-

can history. This just adds to all the confusion. As an athlete you’re booed if you do and dammed if you don’t.

Is kneeling really such a good idea? Is it to protest a cause, protest the President, demonstrate unity, support the demands of your employer, to appear politically correct in front of the cameras, to disrespect the military, to recognize the need for change? It’s likely a combination of everything (with the obvious exception of disrespecting the military). We can’t help but get a little overwhelmed ourselves and this ladies and gentlemen is where the process is broken. The best way to take someone’s mind off a toothache is to stomp on their foot. You can store that one away for a rainy day.

So let’s say someone out there in Twittersphere land had a pain in their neck that they wanted to go away.

One approach could be to stomp on so many toes for the situation to become so confusing that nobody remembers what they were upset about to begin with. It could be argued that a recently elected President adopted

a similar approach and it won him an election? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice and…well I think you get the idea. It’s all smoke and mirrors. Speaking of magical disappearing acts, has anyone seen or heard from Colin Kaepernick lately?

There are murmurs that the military may have him locked away in a tower somewhere around Roswell New Mexico. The plot thickens now, doesn’t it?

Like every good tale this one has an evil overlord, oppression, deception, solidarity, revolt, and politics. Does it sound familiar? Well it should, it’s a story that’s been floating around since 1599. Remember Willy Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar? You may have heard of it. It’s a tragic story that ends with the elected leader being stabbed in the back by his own countryman. Now don’t get me talking about the fall of the Roman Empire. That’s an article for another day.

Life really can imitate art.

Kindness only in Renfrew To the editor:

Recently I went into the No Frills to buy a bag of potatoes. I had forgotten to buy them when shopping the day before.

A lady before me at the cash said “I have forgotten one items, do you mind waiting while I go get it?”

I jokingly said “No, I’ll just stand here, stamp my feet and curse until you return!”

She returned shortly and continued to check out. About then, the cashier Kathy, a neighbour, said “Happy 85th birthday Doug.” Both the lady ahead and the one behind cheerfully said

The first Swinging Bridge in Renfrew was built in 1895.

“Happy birthday!”

Kathy then said “Here’s your potatoes.”

I said “But I haven’t paid for them” and Kathy said the lady ahead paid for them as a birthday present.

I was astounded to think that a total stranger would pay for my potatoes. I thanked her, but in shock, didn’t ask her name.

So if she is in the area, I’d like her to drop around for tea. Only in Renfrew, the ‘heart of the universe.”

Where is the made-in-Canada merchandise?

To the editor:

I am somewhat displeased at our merchandise stores in Canada as I, in recent weeks, have tried in vain to buy some items that are made in Canada.

These items are both household and garden items and I have gone store to store and it’s always the same – made in China.

I have to return home with my money in my pocket but I need them.

I have found this policy in all our stores and it bothers me.

What is happening to our made-in-Canada or the U.S.A. but mostly Canada merchandise?

What are our children going to do?

I don’t know but I will try my best to change by getting in contact with some sleepyheads in government to wake up.

Renfrew’s first Swinging Bridge HERITAGE RENFREW

In 1895 when the people who crossed the river on foot wanted a shorter route than around

by Stewart and Bridge streets they raised money by private subscription and had Jim McNicoll along with Donald Henderson, the local agent of the Page Wire Fencing Co., string a structure of spring coil wire across the Bonnechere. Then they wanted council to test it and accept it as a present for the town.

But council was not ready to take any chances on legal responsibilities that might be involved with such a bridge. After all, it stretched about 100 yards over a fast-flowing and dangerous river and the cost of construction had not been over 50 cents a foot.

The first Sunday after it was finished there had been such crowds trying it out that Barney McDermott had to go down to direct traffic.

So council just referred the whole matter to the streets improvement committee.

Seven years later the town had still not assumed ownership. When $70 was needed for repairs to the bridge an appeal was made to the public for donations. But the project must not have been popular because the people did not come across.

The Renfrew Mercury even suggested in an editorial that 25 cents each from all who used the bridge would take care of this charge and that Thomas Logan, D W Stewart and the Mercury office would all accept donations but still the full amount was not raised.

In the end the original bridge of wire was taken down and replaced with a heavier bridge carried by strong steel cables.

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, October 5, 2017 9

Renfrew chief marks 25th year, says fire prevention is key TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com

Twenty-five years ago when Guy Longtin was hired as the Renfrew fire chief, one of the areas he wanted to focus on was public awareness/fire prevention.

In an introductory newspaper article, he said he wanted to increase the work done in the schools to increase fire safety.

Fire Prevention Week runs from Sunday, Oct. 8 to Saturday, Oct. 14.

The department will welcome numerous schoolchildren as well as conduct school visits.

He feels the fire prevention message is sinking in.

“It’s to get that message home to be safe,” said Longtin. “I think we are succeeding because structural fires have decreased significantly in 25 years and we feel our prevention program is working.”

Longtin notes that over the last 25 years officials have been targeting children to bring home the fire prevention message.

“When your son or daughter comes home and pushes you to check the alarm, that’s when it hits home. It’s our time to drive the message home to be safe,” said Longtin. “If we can prevent fires, it’s so much better for everyone. The losses from a fire are so great because you will never replace

Tiffany Lepack/Metroland

Guy Longtin has been the Renfrew fire chief for 25 years and one thing he has focused on over the years is fire prevention, this year Fire Prevention Week runs Oct. 8 to 14. everything.”

In his time as the Renfrew chief, he says a lot has changed in regards to what is legislated.

“You didn’t have to have smoke detectors in every home and now it is mandatory to have it on each level.”

The department does home visits from the spring to fall to remind resi-

dents to check their detectors. They even have a database when residents need to change their detectors.

Longtin, originally from Gananoque, started as a volunteer firefighter in Horton from 1979 to 1988 and was the chief there in 1984. He went on to become the chief at Seeley’s Bay from 1988 to 1992 and he became the Ren-

frew chief on July 2, 1992.

Over the years, a number of other things have also changed, a big one being the technology - from how they are called out to a fire to how they fight one.

In 2000, the Central Ambulance Communications Centre took over to dispatch calls.

“Back then we would take our own calls here and page out the calls, the whole system was here,” said Longtin.

“That’s all gone. It’s come a long way from fire phones in your home, that all changed when the (Renfrew) county changed. It’s well improved compared to the old system. We do have some problems like anything but we do have a strong backup in place.”

The gear they wear when battling a fire has also changed.

“If you look at personal protection, we used to have big rubber boots rolled up and now we have pants and jackets to handle the heat,” said Longtin.

Another change, when he started they were told not to use the breathing apparatuses on the truck because they were too expensive to refill; now there is one for every firefighter. They also have two infrared cameras to see the room and soon one in their helmet to free up both of their hands.

Nowadays you will never see a firefighter on the back of a truck either.

“The technology has changed so much … riding on the tailgate of a truck, it was a good way to leave, it was dangerous but we all did it,” said Longtin.

“It was ended in the early 1980s there were just too many accidents and now we have trucks with six to eight men cabs.”

WHAT IS BREAST CANCER?

Breast cancer is a malignant tumour that starts in the cells of the breast. Malignant means that it can spread, or metastasize, to other parts of the body.

Cells in the breast sometimes change and no longer grow or behave normally. These changes may lead to benign breast conditions such as atypical hyperplasia and cysts. They can also lead to benign tumours such as intraductal papillomas. Benign conditions and tumours are not cancerous. But in some cases, changes to breast cells can cause breast cancer.

Most often, breast cancer starts in cells that line the ducts, which are the tubes that carry milk from the glands to the nipple. This type of breast cancer is called ductal carcinoma. Cancer can also start in the cells of the lobules, which are the groups of glands that make milk. This type of cancer is called lobular carcinoma. Both ductal carcinoma and lobular carcinoma can be in situ, which means that the cancer is still where it started and has not grown into surrounding tissues. They can also be invasive, which means they have grown into surrounding tissues.

Less common types of breast cancer can also develop. These include inflammatory breast cancer, Paget disease of the nipple and triple negative and basal-like breast cancers. Rare types of breast cancer include non-Hodgkin lymphoma and sarcoma.

EARLY DETECTION IS KEY

OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH TAKE ACTION. FIGHT BREAST CANCER At the Canadian Cancer Society, the month of October is about more than just raising awareness of breast cancer; it’s about taking action to save lives.

Every person should know the symptoms and signs of breast cancer, and any time an abnormality is discovered, it should be investigated by a healthcare professional.

Most people who have breast cancer symptoms and signs will initially notice only one or two, and the presence of these symptoms and signs do not automatically mean that you have breast cancer. By performing monthly breast self-exams, you will be able to more easily identify any changes in your breast. Be sure to talk to your healthcare professional if you notice anything unusual.

BREAST SCREENING PROGRAMS

Screening means checking or testing for a disease in a group of people who don’t show any symptoms of the disease. Screening tests help find breast cancer before any symptoms develop. When breast cancer is found and treated early, the chances of successful treatment are better.

Currently in Canada, screening for breast cancer is recommended for women of average risk between the ages of 50 and 69. Regular screening for breast cancer is recommended for this age group because about half of all new cases of breast cancer occur in women between 50 and 69 years of age. The most reliable way to find breast cancer early is screening mammography. Research has also shown that regular mammography can significantly lower the risk of women in this age group dying from breast cancer.

Talk to your doctor about your personal risk of breast cancer and take advantage of screening tests or programs in your area.

October 2017 Wow, what a heat wave. Where was this weather in June, July, and August? As I write this column (September 27th) which is forecast to be the last day of an unprecedented heat wave here in Ontario.

We’ve had more consecutive days of over 30 degrees Celsius in the last five days than we had in total for the aforementioned months of June, July, and August.

Weather can be so fickle. When I attended the Renfrew County Plowing Match at the farm of Mel and Lynne Langton in the Beachburg area on September 16th, we were right in the midst of the unseasonably hot weather.

In speaking to some farmers there, they informed me that if they got another week or two of warm weather the corn crop would be just fine. They certainly got their wish on the weather; I hope that the yield and the quality of the corn has responded in-kind. I’m told that in measuring heat-unit days, we’ve received more than a month’s worth of heat in just 10 days. While I couldn’t spend the whole day at the Plowing Match due to other commitments, I must say that based on the number of people I met in my time there, I would expect that it was one of the most successful plowing matches we’ve ever had. A big thank you to Mel and Lynne for providing the land and being great hosts.

From Renfrew County I went on to the International Plowing Match that was held in Walton, Ontario this year. As luck—or bad luck—would have it, we were not blessed with the same nice weather on the day we were there for the parade; it rained so heavily that not only was the parade cancelled, but the tented city itself was closed on the Wednesday. In spite of all that, my colleague from Huron-Bruce, MPP Lisa Thompson told me that the rest of the week was tremendous. While I couldn’t be there myself on September 23rd, one of our local farm families, the Cull family from Douglas, was honoured as one of province’s 2017 BMO Ontario Farm Family Award Recipients. It is an honour for us all when one of our own is recognized with a prestigious award. I would like to congratulate Preston and Terry for making us all proud. The Cull Family not only supports us by providing their share of the food we all partake in, but spend a great deal of their time organizing and supporting community events.

Thanksgiving is fast approaching which is traditionally the time to reflect on all of the things we are grateful for. And there is so much. Regardless of the challenges we have and continue to face, the disappointment we often share in the policy of government, it is still crystal clear that we live in a wonderful country and inhabit one of the best parts of it. When you look at the unprecedented number of disasters that have taken place in just the last several weeks: the loss of life, the destruction of homes, and property damage calculated in the hundreds of billions of dollars—we have to count our blessings that we have remained safe and secure.

For the first time in many years, we won’t have everyone home for this Thanksgiving. While we will have no less to be thankful for, there will be an emptiness that Vicky and I are not used to. As our family grows and build lives of their own, we have to accept that sometimes getting together is not always possible. We’re already looking forward to Christmas when we expect everyone home. In the meantime, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

Enjoy one another.

Significant upgrades have begun across Renfrew County along the Algonquin Trail, known locally as the former CP Rail corridor.

In Arnprior, Cavanagh Construction is resurfacing the trail in exchange for using a section of trail as a staging area over the past two years.

G.P. Splinter Forest Products will be brushing, grading, and applying stonedust on Pembroke portions of the Trail in preparation for Zombie Thrill Run being held on Oct. 28.

H and H Construction of Petawawa will be performing the work in that community, between Portage Road and Murphy Road.

The Renfrew County ATV Club has been brushing and grading the Cobden portion, while the Township of Admaston-Bromley will be performing upgrades to the Town of Renfrew section.

Other sections of the trail may see localized improvements as the winter snowmobiling season kicks into gear later this year.

Jason Davis, manager of forestry & GIS for the County of Renfrew said: “We were directed by the Algonquin Trail Advisory Committee to focus on trail upgrades in urban areas first.

It has been determined that these areas will likely see the highest levels of use.

The plan is then to continue the upgrades outward from these areas to close any gaps over the coming years.”

While these upgrades are underway the County of Renfrew is reminding residents that the trail is currently not open to the public.

“We ask for the public’s patience as the resurfacing projects begin.

We are also in the process of creation of an Algonquin Trail Management Plan.

At this time the trail remains closed to the public to ensure the safety of our residents,” explained County of Renfrew chief administrative officer Jim Hutton.

Renfrew County, Lanark County and the Township of Papineau-Cameron formed a partnership in 2011 and recently signed a lease and donation agreements to acquire ownership of the 296-kilometre abandoned Canadian Pacific Rail between Smiths Falls and Mattawa.

The county’s portion of the corridor runs from the Arnprior/Ottawa border in the south to the Renfrew/Mattawa border in the North.

The intent is to work with local municipalities, the public and other partners to develop the multi-use trail

Opposition mounts to radioactive waste facility DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

The number of groups and individuals opposed to a planned radioactive waste disposal facility near the Ottawa River continues to mount.

A recent letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau by 35 scientists, doctors, elected officials, and leaders of public interest groups and First Nations, urges him to “stand up for the health and safety of Canadians” by suspend-

ing what opponents call a giant surface mound about a kilometre from the river.

Multinational corporations have formed Canadian National Energy Alliance to build the disposal facility in Chalk River.

It would house contaminated materials from more than 100 buildings on the nuclear laboratories site.

It would also contain a small volume of mixed waste from offsite sources.

Waste should be buried: councillor Continued from page 20

For 90 years there has been nuclear activity on the shores of the Ottawa, with no solution in place for permanently safeguarding the radioactive waste that is continuously generated.

The five-storey high mound would contain mostly low-level waste, starting in 2020, taking up to 1 million cubic metres of waste by 2070.

However, groups like Ottawa Riverkeeper and Concerned Citizens of Renfrew County and Area, worry about leachate from the site making its way into the drinking water for 1 million people.

Proponents say leachate happens when rain and snow make contact with the waste. Once the facility is capped, there will be no contact.

Arnprior Mayor David Reid hasn’t signed on with any opponents, saying the issues at play are outside the expertise of town officials. He is confident the proper authorities, using due diligence, will ensure the safety of people living downstream.

“The reality is only a few people understand; these are very technical issues,” Reid said.

McNab/Braeside Coun.

Mark MacKenzie, a former Green Party of Canada president, has attended several meetings on the topic.

He has also looked closely at the issues involved.

“I’ve got a lot of concerns about it,” MacKenzie said. “That it’s not deep underground tops the list.”

He said by calling it a “near surface” facility, the alliance is attempting to deceive. The project also doesn’t conform to international standards, he added.

And that while only one per cent of the waste is considered of medium level, it will persist for hundreds of thousands of years.

“Any percentage above ground that is supposed to be underground is too much.”

The landfill-grade liner proposed is also a concern, he said. It will eventually break down.

Then there are the players involved: SNC-Lavalin is in court for fraud and corruption; others are British and U.S., hence “not here for the long haul,” MacKenzie said. He said nuclear waste is a Government of Canada problem, not for private corporations.

“I’m not convinced these companies have the longterm interest of the Canadian public in mind.”

Renfrew Curling Club’s first Timberwolves, Kings win spiel Sweep and Putt Oct. 14 both CCHL2 weekend games ANDY SKLEPOWICZ Renfrew Curling Club

The ice is in, the weather has cooled, the drawmasters are setting up leagues and schedules and all of the hard work is done.

Now, let’s hit the ice and curl...or at least our best imitation of it.

One of the problems of watching the excellent curlers on TV is that they make it look so effortless and easy.

Sure you hear the occasional heavy breathing from the sweepers or a broom slamming the ice after a missed tough shot but nothing compared to the grunting, sweating and occasional expletive that is heard from club curlers.

And that for rocks that completely miss a wide open target or for sweeping that barely carries a rock a couple of feet.

But we love it and can’t wait to start again this year.

Why? The fun, the excitement of a close, well played game, the camaraderie, the jokes and constant ribbing, the good activity that makes certain

muscles hurt and the fellowship of sharing a beverage, win or lose, and reliving the glory of past days and the circus shots made to win that big game.

So, if you want to share all this in a wonderful winter pastime its not too late to sign up. Just contact the club or visit the club website.

The learn-to-curl program is a great way to be introduced to the skills of the sport or to give long ago curlers the chance to get back into the sport.

Stick curling is available to those of us who have managed to destroy our joints over the years and the little rocks and youth curling programs give the youngest generation a chance to learn a lifelong sport.

And don’t forget to sign up for the first community spiel, the Sweep and Putt to be held Sat. Oct. 14, and enjoy a great day of curling, golfing, food and frolic.

You can sign up at the Renfrew golf or curling club, on the club website or by contacting Lyn Joyce or Brian Thiessen.

Remember no skill is required and I am living proof of that.

There were four big wins for local Central Canada Tier 2 Hockey League teams this weekend.

The Renfrew Timberwolves had a huge weekend as they defeated two of the top teams in the league. The Whitewater Kings also had two big wins against tough teams.

On Friday, Sept. 29, at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre, the Wolves beat the Athens Aeros 5-4. The game was tied after the first with two early goals by Renfrew’s Evan Gillan, assisted

by Chad Moore and Jack Rouleau and Spencer Hill assisted by Braden Zvonarich and Colby Cochrane. The Aeros answered back with two late goals at the end of the first period.

Zvonarich opened the scoring in the second frame for the Timberwolves, assisted by Cochrane and Brandon Hanniman at the 8:34 minute mark.

The Aeros got one more goal before the Timberwolves caught them sleeping as Cochrane scored at the 20-minute mark to end the period assisted by Zvonarich and Spencer Hill.

In the third the Aeros scored first at 1:32 but the Timberwolves sealed the victory with a

short-handed goal by Luka Marinic assisted by Nych Paquette at 11:43.

On Sunday, Oct. 1, in another close game the Timberwolves squeaked out a victory against the powerhouse Richmond Royals.

Zvonarich opened the scoring for the Timberwolves on the power play assisted by Cochrane and Connor Fulton.

Chad Moore had the lone second period goal for the Wolves as the Royals answered back with two goals.

Then in the third the Wolves had three goals just minutes apart by Renfrew Timberwolves Zach Moran, Nych Paquette and on the power play Jack Rouleau.

The Kings easily defeated the Alexandria Glens 8-2 a hat trick by Jacob McIntyre, two goals by Peter White, Reid Barber, Quinn Vanhoof and Gage Tremblay.

And on Sunday, Oct. 1 the Kings beat the Perth Blue Wings on the road 3-2 with goals by Barber, McIntyre and Matteas Derraugh.

This week the Wolves travel to Brockville on Oct. 4 and the Kings travel to Athens on Oct. 5 On Friday, Oct. 6 the Timberwolves host the Brockville Tikis at Ma-Te-Way at 8 p.m. and on Saturday, they welcome the Westport Rideaus at 7:30 p.m.

Jags hit the links to support athletics KATHERINE POWER St. Joseph’s High School

Back at it again at St. Joe’s! We’re so excited school is back in session. Once again this summer, St. Joseph’s High School (SJHS) hosted their annual SJHS Open, which raised approximately $7,770 in support of Jaguar athletics.

The golf tournament was a great day filled with fun and golf. No player walked away $10,000 richer from getting an ace on hole 17, but there were a lot of great prizes given out and many promises to return next year. John Agnew, Ryan Boudreau, Stephen Hass and Jack Quinn, won the scramble event with an impressive score of eight under! A huge thank you to all the players and especially to the incredible support received from local businesses and groups with their donations. Funds raised from this event will help purchase new jerseys for the Jaguar hockey teams. We are truly blessed to be a part

of this community.

September started with an action-packed agenda! We’ve welcomed a grand total of six new teachers this year including Abby Brown, Hollie Alfeskie, Dan St. Michael, Trish Shields, Kelsey LaPlante and Allison Richards as well as our new vice principal, Pamela Dickerson. Welcome to the Jag den!.

Kicking off the school year was an amazing spirit day followed by our first dance of the year, the Throwback Dance. Spirit day was filled with fun games including Zorb Ball, bubble soccer and foam archery. Thank you to everyone who helped make this day a huge success! September was so great and we’re so excited to see what October brings.

One exciting venture that St. Joseph’s will be involved in will be raising funds to support Hospice Renfrew for the next two years.

Keep your eye out for any SJHS fundraisers to help support your local hospice. on

The Krose Family

Thomas Samuel Mosco, 64, of Ottawa, Ontario passed away peacefully in his sleep on September 18th, 2017. Thomas, son of the late Viola (Kilby) and John Mosco, stepson of Elvin Schroeder and sonin-law to John Bryson is survived by his wife Kimberly and his daughters Victoria and Kathleen. He is also survived by his mother-in-law Lin (Poirier) Bryson; his sisters and their late spouses Jo-Anne (Michael) and Bernadine (Jack); his brothers and their spouses Joesph (Tami), David, and Shawn; his brother-in-law James and several nieces and nephews. Tom was a well-respected member of the Ottawa Police Service for 35 years and enjoyed cooking, listening to countless genres of great music, volunteering, cycling, walking the family’s Yorkshire Terrier “George” and uplifting people with his unique sense of humour.

From an early age, Tom loved helping his community and enriched the lives of many people with his incredible light and kindess, a tradition that followed him into retirement. Nothing brought him more joy than spending time with family and friends over a good cup of coffee, where the greatest parts of his character graced those around him.

Tom will be greatly missed as he has entered fully into the presence of his Lord and Saviour. A visitation was held on September 29, 2017 at Kelly Funeral Home (585 Somerset St. W.) from 3-5 pm and 7-9 pm. Tom’s Memorial Mass was held at Saint Patrick’s Basilica (Kent at Nepean) on September 30th, 2017 at 10 am with the Celebration of Life followed directly after at Kelly Funeral Home (585 Somerset St. W.). The family has requested in lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation in his memory be considered.

Richard (Dick) Obst In loving memory of a dear husband and best friend who passed away 5 years ago, October 5, 2012 I remember the day I met you, And the day God made you mine, I remember the day God took you, and will remember “till the end of time.

We made our vows together, Until death do we part, But the day God took you from me, my whole world fell apart.

Sometimes I think I’m dreaming, I can’t believe its true, That I can go on living when I no longer have you.

And the memories of the happy years, when we were together, The joys, the tears, the love, the fears, will stay with me forever.

And when I’m sad and lonely, And everything goes wrong, I seem to hear you whisper, cheer up and carry on.

Each time I see our picture, you seem to smile and say, Don’t cry I’m only sleeping, We’ll meet again someday.

Till we meet again, Love Always, Gail

A Musical Offering Concert series continues in Renfrew on Oct. 13 Nicholas Walters and Jessica Belanger have certainly done their part in elevating the appreciation of sacred music in the Ottawa Valley in recent years and they have set out to do so once again for a cause dear to their hearts.

On Friday, Oct. 13 Walters and Belanger will be joined by special guests in presenting A Musical Offering III, the third such concert of sacred music at Our Lady of Fatima Church in Renfrew.

This time they have chosen the Our Lady of Fatima Elevator Project as their cause, a project that has been underway this past summer to increase accessibility in the building.

“It has been a dream of our parishioners to have an elevator installed in our building and for that to have come to fruition is very gratifying,” said Father Ryan Holly, pastor of Our Lady of Fatima parish.

“Once again we will have the opportunity to be uplifted by the talent of these young people in a way that is of benefit for all of the community.”

Following the widespread acclaim of the two

JESSICA BELANGER previous concerts of A Musical Offering, Belanger and Walters have set out to present a concert featuring works from Haydn, Bach, Purcell, and Vivaldi.

Of local significance Walters will highlight the works of Victor Togni, a renowned Canadian organist who at one point in his career lived

and worked in the Ottawa Valley.

“Victor served as the assistant organist at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome before immigrating to Canada and working at several notable churches in Pembroke, including St. Columbkille Cathedral and Calvin United,” said Walters, “it’s very exciting to present these works for organ, especially given the local connection of the composer.”

The concert will be the opportunity for the premiere of a piece commissioned by Father Holly and Our Lady of Fatima Parish specifically for this concert.

Montreal musician Jonathan Embry was chosen for this commission, which is a contemplative setting of the liturgical text In Paradisum, composed for two sopranos, organ and trumpet. “The Church has always been at the forefront in supporting arts and culture, and we wanted to see that continue, especially among young composers” said Father Holly. It is expected that Mr Embry will be present at the concert to hear the first public performance of his work.

Walters and Belanger will be joined by Danielle Vaillancourt, mezzo-soprano, Michael McSheffrey, baritone, and Stephan Grasmuck, trumpet, all who hail from the Ottawa Valley and are distinguished musicians in their own right.

Being joined by these local musicians has special significance to Jessica Belanger, who has sung in the choir at Our Lady of Fatima Church since her youth.

“Having the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the life and longevity of this parish church, through music, is a great gift,” noted Belanger.

A Musical Offering III will be held on Friday, Oct. 13 at 7 p.m. at Our Lady of Fatima Church, 100 Lisgar Ave. in Renfrew.

Tickets are $20 each and are available at Aikenhead’s Drug Store, A Dash of Fab, at Our Lady of Fatima Parish Office (613-432-8525) or at the door on the night of the concert.

For more information please contact: Holly at: 613-432-8525 or via email: father.grholly@ gmail.com .

with students from Our Lady of Fatima elementary school at Our Lady of Fatima Church.

“We were honoured to have Father Ryan Holly celebrate the mass for us, along with Father Kerry Brennan, Father Peter Do, and Father Anthony Burchat as concelebrants,” says principal Brennan Trainor.

St. Joseph’s 2017 Spirit Week closed with a Spirit Day dance Friday, Sept. 15.

“On this day, we enjoyed many indoor and outdoor activities culminating with our very popular, Spirit Day Dance,” notes Trainor.

It was also announced that the school’s charity of choice for the next two years is the Renfrew Hospice. SJHS students will set all of their local fundraising targets toward helping the Renfrew Hospice.

In addition, SJHS will continue to support the Dominican Republic Experience as its global charity of choice.

“By setting both charities as our specific charity goals, SJHS students are tangibly recognizing that we are a ‘Catholic educational community called to express our mission as church to pass on the good news of Jesus Christ’,” says Trainor.

Bishop Smith BSCHS students gathered for opening school mass at St. Columbkille’s Cathedral Sept. 14 with Father Goring and Father Helferty cocelebrating.

From Sept. 18—22, students participated in ‘Home Coming’ Spirit Week with various activities organized by Student Council.

Sept. 20 was the much-anticipated annual Nangor Day excursion.

“The entire school body was bussed to Nangor Beach for the day,” notes principal Clint Young.

Spirit Week culminated with a Hawaiianthemed school dance Friday night, Sept. 22.

“We have gotten off to a great start at Bishop Smith Catholic High School,” reflects Young.

Fall activities are also planned for the teaching staff, including an upcoming professional activity day.

“On the Oct. 6, PA Day, we will continue our pedagogical focus on 21st Century Assessment and Evaluation,” states Young.

The fall sports season is also underway with girls rugby and basketball, and boys volleyball and cross-country, as well as Grade 8 soccer.

Renfrew Collegiate Institute’s Social Interaction Program underway MATTHEW CLEMENTS Raider Revue

Renfrew Collegiate Institute (RCI) is once again starting its Social Interaction Program (SIP).

Annually this program partners students in regular stream classes with students in the Life Skills Program.

The SIP program is a support program for the life skills class and a social opportunity for all involved.

It is a wonderful chance for youth at the school to develop leadership skills and make a friend or two along the way. Students from grades 10 to 12 can sign up. All students have to do is sign up outside Room 160 near the Grant Gym. The students and life skills class go out for lunch, play cards and games, or just hang out. It’s all about positive interactions, increasing social interactions, building acceptance of others, and just having fun with new people.

Activities these students are a part

of include: special Halloween activities, bowling, a Christmas party, and the end of year party.

Scott Buffam is the classroom teacher, and he will be helping with the program.

Students in the program get recognized and awarded at the year-end assembly and will receive a certificate and even get to shake the principal’s hand. Ms. Nolan, a previous SIP program participant, said: “As a previous participant, I would encourage students to take part.”

The students who sign up participate in the program at least once every week. The program takes place at lunch unless it requires students to participate during class time or for a special occasion. The school appreciates every sign-up as students build volunteer hours and a special rapport with an important RCI class.

Scott Buffam/Submitted The staff and life skills class look forward to sharing more of this pro- Ozzy Aubrey and Lawson Leclaire - Social interaction Program buddies - playing cards and spending gram with the community. lunch together.

Mary relished in Mother’s special kitchen treats Mother put the last lid on the jar of plum preserves.

They had stewed on the back of the Findlay Oval all morning. Then with a slotted spoon, she put them in the big brown bowl, and when they were cool enough to handle, with her wellscrubbed hands she squished out the stones, which were put on the breadboard.

The pitted plums were then bottled.

The stones were my treat. How I loved to smash them with the little kitchen hammer, and then eat the innards. To me, the pulp was as good as anything I could buy from the candy counter at the Five and Dime store in Renfrew.

When Mother and I were alone in the kitchen, just the two of us, there were other treats to come my way too. “How would you like some oven toast?” she might ask. Would I? My mouth would water just thinking of it. Thin slices of bread would be

“Don’t spoil your supper.”

Any one of these special treats would have been enough to amply satisfy me to replace my dinner or supper if allowed. But Mother saw to it that what I got was ‘just a taste’. I would be expected to eat my dinner or supper as well. My sister Audrey, who was always concerned about gaining weight, could never understand why I was as thin as rail with all I ate between meals, and would say she could gain a pound drinking water! It wouldn’t have mattered to me if I grew as big as a house, nothing would stop me from those kitchen treats I loved with a passion.

frying in the big black pan, room was made for the slivers of rind for me, and when they were as crisp as little pieces of raw spaghetti, another special treat came my way.

Our ample vegetable garden served us well. I knew we would never go hungry over the coming winters when those shelves in the dug-out under the house we called a cellar, were full of canned vegetables, preserves, jams and jellies.

Mother would spend days this time of year, “putting down.” And if I happened to be in the kitchen when she was making cucumber relish, I never failed to have a cucumber sandwich.

To me, thick slices between two pieces of freshly baked bread, well buttered of course, was a special treat. No one else in my family, it seemed to me, liked cucumber sandwiches. But I could make a meal of them, if I was allowed, but again Mother would say,

SUNSHINE COACH

There is a rainbow on the horizon. The annual Reach For the Rainbow Radiothon in support of Sunshine Coach takes to the air over Valley Heritage Radio (VHR) 98.7 on Sunday Oct. 22, between the hours of 1 and 5 p.m.

“This is our opportunity to reach out to the community for their support in keeping the Sunshine Coach service in operation,” says Sunshine Coach executive director Norm Dagg.

“Thanks to a core of hard-working volunteers and the community at large, Renfrew and area is so fortunate to have a service in which people who are living with disabilities have access to transportation that is cost effective and meets their special needs.

The need for this service is growing and cost pressures continue to increase.

Public support is absolutely critical to ensuring Sunshine Coach is there for those who need it, now and in the future.”

The goal of the Radiothon is to raise funds to ensure that Sunshine Coach remains viable and that fares remain affordable for all who depend on the service every day to overcome transportation barriers in their lives.

This year’s event will feature live, local entertainment on the Cavanagh Stage at the Valley Heritage Radio Studios located at 3009 Burnstown Rd., free for anyone who wishes to attend.

The popular Kilos of Coins weigh scale will be on site and everyone is encouraged to bring along their spare change to add to the collection in order to gather as many kilos of coins as possible.

The Radiothon broadcast will be anchored by Art Jamieson,

with host of the VHR afternoon show, Christa Pare, providing remote coverage from the Sunshine Coach offices.

Pledges may be made on the day of the Radiothon by calling 613-432-7299 or may be made at the Sunshine Coach Offices in the days leading up to the event at 44 Railway Ave. weekdays during business hours between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Secure online donations may be made by visiting www.sunshinecoach.ca .

In addition, visitors to the website may submit a pledge at any time that is convenient to them, by using the online pledge submission feature.

The Radiothon will not only be available to anyone within the transmission reach of the Valley Heritage Radio signal at 98.7 but will also be streamed to anyone, anywhere in the world over the internet.

Bridge isn’t always fair

Sept. 27 at the Renfrew Bridge Club saw the number of players return to normal levels as 11 tables of card players turned out for the game.

The usual lively Renfrew bidding was nowhere to be seen as only six slams were attempted. The North-South pairs were successful on two of their slams. Only a single pair, Audrey Jukes and Audrey Copeland, managed to overcome the run of poor luck that the East-West pairs have seen recently and scored a positive result with their slam bid. Over the past month, the East-West pairs seem to have had terrible luck and Board 23 was perhaps the most recent example of their misfortunes. The board was played nine times, with East-West pairs attempting contracts in spades, which failed; in hearts, which failed; in clubs, which failed. As a result, if you were to meet a Renfrew bridge player, who is sullen, somber and severe, you’ve probably just met part of an East-West pair, who believes, with some justification, that the game of bridge just isn’t fair!

Congratulations to the Sept. 27 winners: North – South: 1: Joni Fine - Gord McArthur 2: Phillippa Baran - Nancy Cavanagh 3: Jeannie Yagminas - Mona Brydges East – West: 1: Yolande Baillon – Bette Rowe 2: Bob Bouchard - Garry Irving 3: Loretta Hennessy - Carolyn Milford

Barb Bristow, longtime Bonnechere Manor Family Council volunteer and auxiliary member, says, “Many residents do not have family nearby to visit and just to have someone come and provide some special attention, can greatly brighten up a resident’s day. Outdoor walks in particular are so enriching for residents that do not get out a lot. I cannot think of any more rewarding way to volunteer.”

The flowers of fall are fading Despite the stretch of unseasonably high temperatures that seemed to halt summer’s departure, autumn has arrived.

With shortening days and cooler temperatures, most summer wildflowers have vanished. Gone are viper’s bugloss, purple loosestrife, and Queen Anne’s lace.

These gave way to smartweeds that adorned ponds, jewelweeds that lined damp shores and goldenrods that clustered in fields. However, even these have waned in recent days. Currently, asters are among the last of the wildflowers to brighten the landscape.

A variety of asters grow locally. Some, such as panicled aster, are white. Others, such as Lindley’s aster, are pale blue.

My favourite is New England aster, which sports deep rosepurple petals that strikingly set off the flower’s central cluster of bright yellow disk florets.

Asters, like other members of their family (Asteraceae), have two types of flowers. Each bloom consists of petal-like ray flowers and a central cluster of disk flowers. Another unusual feature is that insects seldom ravage their leaves. In fact, it is

difficult to find even one leaf that sports holes chewed by caterpillars or beetle grubs. Untouched leaves are signs that a plant contains powerful chemical deterrents. Milkweed leaves are laden with bitter-tasting terpenoids, toxins that in exceedingly large doses can cause heart failure. But, a few insects — notably Monarch caterpillars — eat milkweed leaves with impunity, safely storing the nasty chemicals in their bodies, thereby rendering themselves unpalatable.

But, few insects seem able to cope with the alkaloids that permeate the leaves of asters.

Alkaloids keep herbivores away — not only because they taste bad, but also because they interfere with the animal’s ability to digest food. Alkaloids contain nitrogen, and when eaten, they incorporate themselves into enzyme production in the animal’s gut, preventing their host from gleaning nutrition from its food.

Aster leaves repel insects, but their blooms do quite the opposite. They attract them, and being among the last wildflowers to bloom, they receive a remarkable amount of attention.

In fact, watching a patch of flowering asters on a sunny day is like visiting an airport on a holiday weekend. There is constant motion, with hordes of visitors (including bees, wasps, hornets, flies and butterflies) landing and taking off.

The insects are seeking food.

Many, like hover flies, come to asters for their sugar-rich nectar. Others, such bumblebees, visit asters for their pollen. It is often difficult to tell hover flies from stinging insects, for many bear remarkably similar appearances — a mimicry that makes animals wishing to avoid the pain associated with eating

Michael Runtz

New England Asters are extremely popular with insects, such as this Painted Lady (top) and Milbert’s Tortoiseshell (bottom). bees or wasps avoid the harmless flies.

With cooler, more seasonable weather finally here, the days of asters and their insect visitors are numbered. When the hard frosts finally arrive, the last of the asters will die,

as will most of their insect visitors. In many cases, the eggs or larvae of the flying insects will survive the winter; for bumblebees, wasps and hornets, only the new queens that mated this fall will be around next spring.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 You have a specific goal in mind and a plan to accomplish it, Taurus. What you may not have counted on are the little obstacles that tend to pop up. Take them one by one.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Some exciting news is coming your way, Virgo. Just be patient for a little longer because it will be well worth it to hear what others can’t wait to tell you.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you prefer to do things in the most direct manner possible.

However, you may have to take a roundabout route in the next few days to complete a particular project.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 You might get a kick out of beating someone at their own game, Gemini. Just make sure you keep things lighthearted and that others are not slighted by your efforts.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, a busy week means it’s necessary to minimize distractions. This will help you get to the bottom of a problem much quicker. A time to relax is on the horizon.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Go out sometime this week and enjoy some conversation and fun with friends or coworkers, Aquarius. Soon enough you may not have much time for social engagements.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, someone you love is far away and you are trying every way possible to close the distance. An impromptu trip to reconnect may be in order.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Even though you can’t pinpoint it directly, Scorpio, you can tell something is going on that has been kept from you. Someone you thought was a friend may not be.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 It is easy for you to keep other people’s secrets, Pisces. Work on keeping some of your own concerns closer to the vest.
