News - There’s likely no financial benefit to Horton Township if the TransCanada Energy East pipeline project is approved by the National Energy Board in the next few months. But Horton officials and area residents have expressed satisfaction with the availability of TransCanada representatives to talk about the project that, if approved, should bring cheaper oil to eastern and central Canada while reducing the onus on Canada to import oil from such countries as Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. If all goes according to plan, pipeline now being used for natural gas would be cleaned, repaired where necessary and retrofitted to accommodate the flow of oil. That pipeline, with starting points in Alberta and Saskatchewan, would carry across the Prairies and through Ontario, including pipeline territory that runs through such Renfrew County municipalities as Deep River, Admaston-Bromley, Whitewater Region, Horton and McNab-Braeside. A total of 22 TransCanada representatives attended the Oct. 3 open house at the Horton Community Centre. These included engineers, public relations officers, members of the aboriginal relations team, pipe installers and environmentalists, who came ready to answer the public’s questions about Energy East.

Saga Williams, of TransCanada’s aboriginal relations team, speaks to Connie and Calvin McLaughlin of Haley Station during the TransCanada open house in Horton Township.

Energy East Continued from front

If approved, the project would result in the conversion of one of two natural gas pipelines for transportation of crude oil to refineries in Montreal, the Quebec City area and Saint John, N.B. Two of the 68 visitors to the Horton open house were Calvin and Connie McLaughlin of Haley Station, who’ve had more than a passing relationship with TransCanada. Attendance at earlier open houses included 164 in Kemptville the night before, and open houses in Pembroke (44) and Deep River (56). The bestattended open house was in North Bay, with 195 visitors. The pipeline, which crosses a portion of the McLaughlins’ 750 acres, required on-site monitors for about a decade, until the company adopted an automated monitoring system. The McLaughlins were paid for their monitoring services in the 1980s and 1990s. Now that the proposal is calling for one of the pipelines to transport oil, the McLaughlins are equally supportive of a project that could bring jobs to the area. “TransCanada has been very good with answering questions,” said Connie of their relationship over the years. Part of the pipeline also crosses the McNab-Braeside property of Kevin and Terry Hartwick who attended the Horton open house. Like the

McLaughlins, they said they had questions that were answered. They were also among the several visitors who saw a sample of the 42-inch diameter pipeline and the PIGs, or pipeline inspection gauges, on display. The PIGs will be used, if the National Energy Board approves the project. That approval, if forthcoming, is expected to happen by early 2014. With approval, the schedule for the $5 billion project includes inspection of the entire exiting pipeline by these PIGs, to ensure that pipeline density and other characteristics meet required standard. Where they don’t, those sections of pipe will be repaired, say officials. The project calls for conversion of about 3,000 kilometres of pipeline in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario, and construction of about 1,400 kilometres of new pipeline, mostly in Quebec and New Brunswick. TAX BENEFITS TO MCNAB-BRAESIDE?

The project also calls for TransCanada and Irving Oil to build, own and operate a new deep-water marine terminal, for shipping oil to Canadian and foreign customers, in Saint John. While Admaston-Bromley, Whitewater Region and Horton would not receive any royalties from the pipeline, which travels through those municipalities, but McNab-Braeside (or another municipality far-

ther to the southeast) could receive about $200,000 per year if it ends up housing one of the pipeline’s new pumping stations. If not located in McNabBraeside, the pumping station would likely be located in the Pakenham area for the pipeline that continues down to Iroquois, on the shore of the St. Lawrence River. “Once our hydraulic points are determined across the Energy East system (most are determined at this time) we will continue to meet with landowners in our hydraulic areas in hopes of securing a property to locate the pump station,” said Trans Canada spokesman Philippe Cannon via email in response to a question from The Renfrew Mercury. “This process is lengthy and generally confidential, as we are dealing with individual landowners and purchasing their land. “We will pursue multiple options in each area to ensure we secure a site,” he said. McNab-Braeside CAO Noreen Mellema acknowledged TransCanada has expressed interest in properties within the township. Meanwhile, TransCanada is now collecting the data received from the open houses conducted across the country. POSITIVE IMPRESSIONS

A portion of the natural gas pipeline, which is scheduled to be converted for transporting crude oil across Canada, is found on the McNab-Braeside property of Terry and Kevin Hartwick. At the Oct. 3 TransCanada open house on the Energy East project, Neill Shortt, the project manager for conversion pipeline integrity, talks to them about the pipeline inspection gauge (or PIG) that will be used to ensure pipeline integrity. “I think it’s a great thing to have the project,” said Dick. “It’s an added feature, and it means jobs.” Horton Coun. Glen Campbell had a similar reaction after attending the open house. “It’s good to see that they plan to move the oil with a system that’s already in place, putting it through a pipeline that is already in the ground.” Less train and truck transportation to move oil is also

Visitors to the Horton open house included Whitewater Region councillor Allen Dick, who likes what he’s hearing about the Energy East project.

National Energy Board will decide

The National Energy Board, which was established in 1959, is Canada’s independent regulator of international and interprovincial pipelines, federal energy development, and federal energy trade. If NEB approves the Energy East project, the scheduled in-service date is late 2017, for oil to its Montreal and Quebec City refineries. Energy East’s oil is projected to reach its final pipeline destination, in Saint John, in 2018. To find out more, visit www.transcanada.

com The open houses hosted by TransCanada are a fundamental step in its project development process, said TransCanada president and CEO Russ Girling in a news release last month. Girling also said Energy East will “enhance our country’s energy security, allow us to receive greater value for our important natural resources, and will create tangible economic benefits for communities across the country.” R0012346487

good for the provincial infrastructure, said Campbell. He said he was also pleased to see how pipeline density will also be doubled in locations where the pipeline is underwater, which includes parts of the Bonnechere River in Renfrew County. Horton chief administrative officer Mackie McLaren says Horton and other municipalities are also going to be kept in the information loop about

the project’s future steps. Visitors to the open houses were also asked to provide their email addresses, so they too can be kept informed. An approved project will also mean thousands of jobs. How many local jobs that means remains to be seen, says TransCanada spokesman Davis Sheremata, but the job prospects are generally encouraging. See JOBS, page 3

Community - The Renfrew Dog Park is competing in Round 1 of the Aviva Community Fund Contest that runs Sept. 30 to Oct. 14. The fund supports ideas that will have a positive effect on the local community. The dog park initiative has been entered into the medium category with a potential prize of $50,000 to $100,000. If chosen as a winning idea, modifications to the park would include a walk-way from the parking lot to the park entrance, lighting to allow for usage on dark winter nights, trees to provide shade on hot summer days, play equipment for the dogs, and the provisions to create areas for geriatric and small dogs to play if they want. For more information and a link on where to vote please visit our Facebook page (Renfrew Dog Park) or (Renfrew Recreation) or go to www. avivacommunityfund.org and search “Renfrew Dog Park”. Once registered as a voter on the Aviva website you have the opportunity to vote once a day until Oct. 14. If the Renfrew Dog Park wins it would provide a unique tourism opportunity and would give Renfrew County’s first permanent dog park a top pedigree. Please share this information with your friends and family and help make a difference in our community!

TransCanada says it’s holding onto all business cards provided by electricians and other tradesmen who may benefit from pipeline upgrades or construction. Estimates call for the creation of more than 10,000 jobs, including 1,742 in Alberta, 2,694 in Ontario and 3,114 in Quebec for pipeline development and construction. Estimated operational jobs, for the next 40 years, are more than 25,000, with Ontario and Alberta the biggest benefactors, at 10,335 and 6,128 jobs respectively. Inevitably, environmental issues are raised. At several open houses there have been opponents to the pipeline, in keeping with the philosophy of opposing technology that uses fossil fuels. Damage prevention and emergency response were topics regularly raised at the open houses, as they should be, suggested Sheremata. Printouts addressing those issues were available, along with others on such topics as corrosion, diluted bitumen in pipelines and building restrictions over and around pipeline locations. “We’re getting a lot of questions from people who want to know if we can convert this pipeline and operate it safely,” said Sheremata. “So what we’re trying to do is explain to them the system that will be used, and that every inch of the pipeline will be thoroughly cleaned and inspected before it’s put into service, so

Rink pad complete, roof next John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

News – The second phase of the Calabogie rink project is complete and now comes the effort to add a roof. Greater Madawaska council members gathered with some of the rink committee members Saturday to cut a ribbon to ofďŹ cially mark the completion of phase two of the rink renovations behind the community centre and recognize the people who made it possible. Calling it a “pretty special day,â€? Mayor Peter Emon said the project has come a long way since the early rough sketch drawings. It took a couple of grants, a great deal of fundraising and “all sorts of volunteers,â€? he said. Coun. Brian Hunt reported there is about $30,000 left over in reserves from phase two, the pouring of the concrete slab. The slab, expertly poured by Town and Country Concrete, has remained stable and level, showing the volunteer committee “knew what it was doing,â€? said Emon. Hunt thanked the “dedicatedâ€? rink committee of Darren Matthews, Bernie Couture, Chris Fleming, Brian Moran, Anne Lefebvre and Kim Rekowski “who have continually pushed their dream of providing a four-season outdoor recreation complex.â€? He noted the major contributors to the project were the Ontario government by way of a Trillium grant, Hydro One, OPG, Calabogie Highlands, Calabogie Peaks and Class Axe Guitars, Hunt also issued a special thank you to successful businessmen Dan and Jeff O’Neill, who

along with their wives have made a substantial four-year contribution to the rink in memory of their late father Jim O’Neill, a long-time cottager in the area. He also lauded several local organizers of fundraisers that beneďŹ t the rink, including Joanne Leclaire (annual golf tournament), Kim Rekowski and Polly Sackman (Bogie Days ball tournament), Marie Buscomb and Peggy Williams (annual Christmas concert), and Amber Gorra (annual craft sale). “All these fundraising events have helped greatly in achieving the goal of $75,000 needed to complete phase 2,â€? he noted. “Lastly I would like to thank the volunteers who have come out to shovel, hammer, build, water and help whenever needed to achieve the success we see in front of us,â€? Hunt told the gathering. “Without them this wouldn’t have been possible. “With continued hard work and everyone’s support we will soon be standing under a roof, and cutting the ribbon to celebrate the completion of phase three and we will have a spot to hold events protected from the elements.â€? Emon noted that Greater Madawaska has received a $175,000 grant with Bonnechere Valley and North Algona Wilberforce to jointly develop recreation programs. That will help in promoting use of the rink and adding amenities such as basketball courts, he explained. “It’s nice to have facilities, but you need plans to use them,â€? he said. Emon said a plan will include ways to encourage seniors and students to use the rink.

Celebration of spacious new offices John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

News – The Calabogie area has celebrated the saving of a building that has special memories for many of its residents. An open house and ribbon-cutting ceremony Saturday marked the official opening of the new township offices in the old Calabogie public school on Parnell Street. Also celebrating were the seven municipal employees who now enjoy about three times the space they had in the 1,100 square feet of their former quarters. “This is a special day for us,” said Mayor Peter Emon, who noted the school has served the village since 1914. “It’s a pretty integral part of the community.”

When the school board closed the school, it was important that it be “repurposed” so it could continue to serve the community, he said. Not only has it made the administration of the township more efficient, it has helped attract more attention and people to the centre of the village, he noted. Emon said he is pleased how well the renovations went, thanks to consultant Tyler Peters of Evergreen Energy Solutions and Jim Lynch of Trademark Solutions. “We’re very proud of the end product,” he said. He also thanked township staff for “taking strong and active interest” in the reconfiguring of the building and for spending extra time to ensure the move was completed efficiently.

Area’s need for physician recruitment not going away Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - The chairperson of the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village has been on the mend, following recent hip surgery, but the local organization responsible for doctor recruitment is staying busy. With chair Raye-Anne Briscoe, mayor of AdmastonBromley, still recuperating in Renfrew Victoria Hospital, vice-chairman Peter Emon visited Horton council Oct. 1 to present the highlights of Health Services Village’s annual report. Horton was the first of the municipal partners visited. RAHSV presentations were also made at Admaston-Bromley Oct. 3 and Greater Madawaska Oct. 8. The presentation to Renfrew council is Nov. 25. By visiting the municipalities, Emon told The Mercury that RAHSV is able to remind the public that it has recruited seven doctors so far and remains committed to recruiting another seven. Renfrew, Greater Madawaska, Horton and AdmastonBromley each provide an annual contribution to RAHSV that was $25,000 in 2010, and increases by two per cent each year through to 2023. Greater Madawaska Mayor Emon was accompanied for the Oct. 1 presentation by Renfrew business owner Karen Maxwell, who chairs the RAHSV fundraising committee. Maxwell said the organization has raised more than $231,000 since its founding in 2010 and received this year alone another $50,000 in pledges for donations. That’s a portion of the $700,000 the Health Services Village is committed to raising

They both take place June 3. Horton is among county municipalities that are sponsoring a hole for $100.

The show is also a show-

employed in the Town of Renfrew’s healthcare and social assistance field; • Based on research and literature, Renfrew’s healthcare sector of 1,795 generates an additional 3,213 jobs in the area. “So we feel the original premise that this (healthcare sector) was an economic generator worth protecting is correct,” said Emon. The Emon-Maxwell delegation also spoke about RAHSV’s fundraisers in the past year. More than $10,000 came from the following four events — Taste of Opera ($945), Renfrew County Warden’s Golf Tournament ($5,200), Linens and Lace ($2,808) and Country Breakfast ($2,075). The latter is expected to raise much more with its second annual edition this month because of increased visibility.

until 2024. The other commitments are $900,000 by the Renfrew Industrial Commission and $140,000 by Renfrew Home Hardware Building Centre. Although seven doctors have been recruited to the Renfrew area so far, the serious need for new physicians remains, with a distinct shortage of family physicians. This statistic could worsen, too, since the average age of doctors working out of Renfrew Victoria Hospital is 57, with five to seven doctors expected to retire in the next three to five years. That average age does not include the seven recruited doctors. In 2010 the Health Services Village estimated one of seven residents in its catchment area of Renfrew, Greater Madawaska, Horton and AdmastonBromley did not have a family doctor. “RAHSV believes this premise, when combined with the looming retirement of physicians in our community, cements the recruitment of top-notch physicians as an ongoing significant community responsibility,” says the group’s annual report. The section on economic development presents the strong connection between doctors and economic development in the area. Economic data in the annual report includes the following: • The Renfrew area is below the provincial average for healthcare professionals per 10,000 residents, at 101 versus 143; • Staffing costs remain the No. 1 healthcare cost, ahead of utilities, rent and supplies; • Almost all Renfrew-area healthcare staff live in Renfrew County; • There are 1,795 people

The second annual Country Breakfast is scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 20, at St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church hall in Renfrew. The 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. event is $8 for adults and youth, $4 for children under 12, and $20 for families of four. Another $1,200 came from the sale of coasters bearing local municipal photographs, while the Metric Mile collection of coins raised about $1,000. Another fundraiser is the Stone Fence dinner theatre’s presentation of There’s Hippies Up the Line at the St. Francis Xavier church hall Nov. 23.

case for municipal equipment and services. These include GPS/GIS technology, staff training, underground utility locators, wastewater collection and treatment, and traffic control. Ideally, the show would be a catalyst for an out-of-county exhibitor to set up business within Renfrew County, said Boland. In a presentation at the Oct. 1 meeting of Horton council, Boland asked Horton, as he is asking other Renfrew County municipalities, to let their staff: 1) attend the show and 2) help in the planning and organization of the show.

The trade show ambassador is Ted Strike, Arnprior’s director of public works from 1975 to 1999. The organizing committee members include vice-chairman Chris Kunopaski, Admaston-Bromley’s roads superintendent. Other committee members are secretary Gerry Haley, treasurer Rick O’Brien, logistics chair Darren England, advertising chair Craig Kelley and entertainment chair Mark Behm, manager of public works for Laurentian Valley. There is no admission charge. The AORS show last came to Renfrew County when Petawawa was host in 1992.

ANIMAL CONTROL

News - Admaston-Bromley council tied up some loose ends Oct. 3. Council extended its contract with animal control officer Steven Fiegen for the next two years, to Dec. 31, 2015. Fiegen will receive a flat fee of $50 per call, plus mileage. Council also renewed its recreation agreement with the Township of Bonnechere Valley through the next four years. “There’s a fee of $200 for the use of recreation facilities with Bonnechere Valley,� Coun. Ray Pender said. “Beginning in 2009, there was an agreement made with Bonnechere Valley for Admaston-Bromley to pay half the user fee.� Since 2009, 22, 24, 22 and 20 residents have used Bonnechere Valley facilities yearly. With that constant average, it costs the township about $2,200 per year, Coun. Pender said. On Thursday, council passed the motion to continue this agreement with Bonnechere Valley through the upcoming four-year period starting Jan. 1, 2014. Council also approved the renewal of municipal bylaw enforcement officer John Fitchett for another two years, Jan. 1, 2014 through Dec. 31, 2015. Fitchett will continue to work for a wage of $21 per hour plus 50 cents per kilometre, which was negotiated in 2011. Coun. Michael Donohue noted that the agreements with Bonnechere Valley, bylaw enforcement and animal control each have an opt-out clause. “I think it’s important that any one council doesn’t bind any future council. In effect, this is for some stability. However, there is going to be a municipal election in 2014,� Coun. Donohue stressed. “They are binding agreements, but

In 2012, AdmastonBromley animal control officer Fiegen brought in five dogs to the Bonnechere Valley Animal Shelter. One dog was returned to its owner, two were adopted, one was transferred and one euthanized. Nine townships and communities deal with the Eganville shelter. In total, the shelter treated 114 dogs in 2012. That includes 23 brought in by the OPP, of which nine were returned to their owners, and three were euthanized. Dogs brought in by the OPP are not charged to any municipality. BUILDING PERMITS

The township had 10 building permits in August for a total of $375,000 “There are no new residences, but several significant renovations underway,� Coun. Michael Donohue said. It apppears it will be a strong year for building permits, with 53 already. FROSTY FUN

Winter isn’t too far off, and with that the township stamped the request from Dawn Afelskie of the recreation committee for Wards 1 and 2 to hold the Douglas Frosty Fun fundraiser the weekend of Feb. 7 to 9. “It will be conducted for the enjoyment and betterment of the community,� Coun. Ray Pender said. MAYOR BRISCOE

Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe continues to recuperate from Aug. 23 hip surgery. “As of Monday (Sept. 30) I’ve finally been given the okay to put two feet on the floor,� Mayor Briscoe said. Having made short walks with a walker, she was scheduled to leave the hospital Oct. 8..

while summarizing minutes of the Sept. 18 public works committee meeting. Campbell, who chairs public works, noted there have been ongoing concerns expressed by residents about speeding and the need to post signs with lower speed limits in parts of the township. These areas, says Campbell, include roads in increasingly built-up areas. There’s also provinciallymandated new standards of reflectivity on signs, to increase their visibility for drivers.

This reflectivity is required for warning and regulatory signs. Examples are stop signs, yield signs and checkerboard signs, like those used to mark a dead end. A road signs study would need to be conducted to determine what signs require replacement to meet Ontario’s reflectivity standards. “I wouldn’t even attempt to give an estimate,� Janet Collins, Horton’s new public works manager, told The Mercury.

council members, it seems inevitable there will be some speed-limit changes. Several roads have speed limits of 80 kilometres per hour, and Coun. Glen Campbell suggests several could be reduced to 60 or 50 kilometres per hour. That’s not the end of foreseeable costs involving road signs, however. Horton is also investigating other road-related issues that have financial implications. During the Oct. 1 meeting of Horton council, Campbell reviewed some of those issues

Thanks for health care

The time has come to give thanks, and when it comes to health care, there’s plenty for which to be thankful. Paramount among our many blessings as a community is the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village. Since its inception, the RAHSV has served as a shining example of how neighbouring communities can work together for the betterment of all. Renfrew, Horton, Greater Madawaska and Admaston-Bromley took the initiative to act upon a realization that working together creates the power required to attract much-need-

ed physicians to our area. In a country where federal and provincial politics are driven by partisan, divisive bickering, it is comforting to know that local politicians are committed to serving their constituents where it matters most of all, and health care remains a treasured and supported sector of our rural society. This weekend, take a moment to remember how important health care is in your life and in the lives of others. Pitch in where you can, as a volunteer, financial contributor or moral supporter. We all have a role to play.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Vandalism at St. Gabriel’s inexplicable

To the editor: I can only ask, “Why?� Why would anyone break into a deconsecrated church and cause havoc? I do not know the answer and I hesitated to write this because I did not wish to give credence to those who performed this destructive act at St. Gabriel’s Church in Springtown. They do not deserve to be given publicity. What they did was senseless and despicable. They broke in and littered the building. They broke glass, including some stained glass from the old windows. Over the years, these windows had been broken by others and boarded up temporarily until funds could be found to repair them in keeping with the heritage of the building. They smashed an antique bottle. They left candy and cigarette papers and butts around the building. Kneelers were moved from their place and moved around the building. More broken window glass was in the sacristy. Old cupboards were emptied and contents left around.

Was anything taken from the cupboards? We assume not. The worst desecration occurred with spray painting over the altar. It was high on the wall in fairly large lettering: ‘hunnids’ with a swirl underneath. It is from a rap song which is disrespectful to women and definitely not suitable for a church or anywhere for that matter. It would have been necessary to stand on the altar to do this. Old wooden bases for statues were pulled from their spots and piled into a quasicross. One base had paint inside part of a decorated side. The removal of these bases disturbed the old rug which had been left undisturbed since 1909. This church was deconsecrated in 1952 and a group of dedicated volunteers has been working since 2010 to stop further deterioration of the building. It is a unique example of an Ontario pioneer church. The interior decoration is painted, embossed tin throughout. We hope to be able to preserve this from further rusting, but this requires funds. Now it has become an even larger

task. I understand that this sort of graffiti, known as ‘tagging’, is a way to leave your mark anonymously. Evidence can be seen in many places throughout the world. We even saw it in Ireland this summer and were so sad. It is not art. The upsetting thing is that this church contains real art by real artisans. It is unique. According to the restoration architect who assessed this building, there is not another like it in the province. The statues from this church are no longer there. We are in the process of trying to put together a smashed statue from previous vandalism. We had already removed the Stations of the Cross for protection and further preservation. Other items are also in safekeeping. The OPP are investigating this crime. If you have any knowledge of the perpetrators, please get in touch with them. We are on a tight timeline to protect this artifact and these activities do not help.

8 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, October 10, 2013

Opinion - Newspapers are alive and well in Canada. Eight in 10 Canadians have read a newspaper in the last week in print or on a newspaper site. And each day, more than half of Canadians read. If we just consider print newspapers for a moment, today there are 21 per cent more print newspapers than there were in 1970. Furthermore, there were 10 new print newspapers launched in the last year. Canadians love print newspapers. Many newspapers offer flyers both in print and electronic form. Eighty-five per cent of Canadians use flyers – and by far (90 per cent) they tell us they use the print flyer. Canadians are embracing newspapers across all devices. Research shows the average Canadian touches newspaper media six times in a day: two times in print, two times on the web, once via tablet and once via phone. Canadians want newspapers; they also want newspaper ads. They expect newspapers to have ads and trust advertising in newspapers both–in print and online–more than ads in other media.

So why the misperception about our newspapers? The data for Canadian newspapers is not the case in the United States. And their bad news spills over the border. In the U.S., cities might have one local paper. In Canada, many of our cities have lots of options in terms of newspapers. More papers equal more competition which keeps the industry on its toes. As such, Canadian papers provide readers and advertisers with lots of innovative options such as more colour, unique ad shapes and placement, QR codes, multi-media opportunities and more. In the U.S., papers had the opportunity to get sleepy (and they did). Newspapers in Canada are vibrant. About a quarter of all ad dollars are spent on newspapers. This roughly matches the amount spent on TV and is more than the amount spent on Internet advertising. Advertisers clearly agree on the power of newspapers. Editor’s Note: This week is National Newspapers Week. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we thank you, our readers and advertisers, for supporting your community newspaper. The Mercury is proud to have served the town for 142 years – since 1871.

Community - We all work hard to ensure we live healthy lives. Right from childhood we are taught to eat healthy, exercise regularly and to take care of yourself and others. Sometimes the importance of these things is forgotten as we age, and more often than not, as we age, our bodies change and aches and pains set in and we feel as if all those years of taking care of ourselves didn’t mean anything. We need to ensure as seniors that we are continuing to take care of ourselves, and this is done in a much different way as compared to when we were children or young adults. The community has many different programs and offerings for seniors to ensure that they have the knowledge they need to stay as healthy as they can for as long as they can. Ailments like arthritis is something that plagues many seniors, and while there is no miracle cure for it, there are lots of things you can do to ensure that you understand your arthritis and how to manage the symptoms of arthritis. The Arthritis Society is a great resource for all infor-

mation regarding arthritis, and they will be coming on Thursday, Oct. 10 at 1 p.m. to discuss types of arthritis, tips and community resources. This is a free workshop for all seniors and those suffering from the disease. Please sign up prior to the presentation by calling Kayla at Golden Age Activity Centre 613431-8289. On Tuesdays, the Renfrew Legion offers a foot clinic for all people to have their feet assessed and cared for by registered nurses. This is perfect for those with diabetes or with other foot ailments. Appointments are made through the clinic or through Carefor at 613-432-9993. The Wing offers a great program called TLC, to assist people with obtaining medical supplies they may need but ďŹ nancially have problems getting the items they need. If you are in need or you would like to donate items, please contact the Wing at 613-432-4485. On the third Wednesday of the month (Oct. 16 of this month) the paramedics host a wellness clinic at the Renfrew Recreation Centre. It is free to attend and they check your blood pressure, oxygen saturation, pulse and blood glucose

Cobden audience told property owners regulated to death Ontario Landowners Association Renfrew & Nipissing Chapter

Community - The Renfrew & Nipissing chapter of the Ontario Landowners Association held a meeting Friday, Sept. 13 with guest speaker Jessica Lauren Annis presenting information on the subject of Agenda 21, a United Nations document, believed to be the basis for all these latest restrictions and regulations that municipalities and provincial governments are proposing under the guise of sustainability. She is the founder of Operation Pushback, a business she owns to help landowners fight for their rights. She has a bachelor’s degree in urban and regional planning and is also a member of the Canadian Institute of Planners as well as a Registered Professional Planner in Ontario. Before an audience of close to 100 people, Annis informed the audience that Canada’s former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney signed Canada on to the UN Agenda 21 Program of Action at the Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit in 1992. She further stated the Local Agenda 21 Planning Guide, an introduction to Sustainable Development, was published by ICLEI (The International Council for Local Agenda 21 Initiative), City Hall, Toronto. Agenda 21 is premised on the assertion that, due to global human overpopulation, and specifically the over consumption of natural resources by affluent western developed nations: the world will run out of natural resources in the very near future; and the earth is on the verge of an imminent ecological collapse. Therefore, amongst other actions, western developed nations (according to the UN) are required to: impose a surveillance-control (“smart�) grid; replace individual commonlaw/natural rights with a communitarian system of “human rights�; de-industrialize their economies; depopulate their rural lands and return the land to nature; ration the basic necessities of life (ie land, water, energy, food, transportation, renewable and non-renewable resources); erase national sovereignty; drastically reduce overall consumption, just to name a few. She further went on to state that the UN Agenda 21, marketed as “sustainable development� is a political ideology masquerading as an environmental movement. The proposed solutions are not supported by either facts or evidence.

As repeatedly proven throughout history‌ private property rights lead to a cleaner environment. It is a very dangerous document and is currently being incrementally implemented by every level of government in Ontario. Ontario’s provincial government has been particularly aggressive in its implementation of Agenda 21 through the land use planning legislative and regulatory framework. Some of the items listed as “not sustainableâ€? include ski runs; grazing of livestock; disturbance of the soil surface; large hoofed animals; fencing of pasture or paddocks; agriculture; modern farm production systems; chemical fertilizers; herbicides; building materials; industrial activities; single family dwellings; paved and tarred roads, railroads; meat consumption; floor and wall tiles; technology improvements; personal vehicles; farmlands, rangelands, pastures; fish ponds; plantations, harvesting of timber; logging activities; fossil fuels; dams, reservoirs; powerline construction; private property; sewers, drain systems, pipelines; fisheries; golf courses. There was a report published in 1994 called A Municipal Primer on the United Nations Conference of Environment and Development prepared for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. This is where “sustainable developmentâ€? is proposed to our local municipalities. She further advised Ontario’s Endangered Species Act, 2007, is a key tool being used by the provincial government to implement Agenda 21 in Ontario as it includes provisions that can be used to shut down existing businesses/activities and stop future economic development in rural Ontario. It can economically sterilize land without providing compensation, in the process destroying the value of land, devastating the rural tax base, thereby allowing NGOs (non-governmental organizations) to buy land at deeply discounted prices. Ms. Annis went on to say we are now just beginning to see the ugly side of it. All these regulations are designed to hinder the people, not help them. Countries like Spain and Greece are way ahead of us and look where they are today. In the United Kingdom, old age pensioners are trying to decide which to take first ... heat or eat. The goal, Annis said, is to force the rural people into the urban cities. Before asking Annis to give her presentation, Donna

10 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, October 10, 2013

Burns, president of the Renfrew & Nipissing chapter of the OLA, asked all those in the audience to think back about 30 or 40 years ago and try and remember what it was like when you went to school and how you were taught or what it was like to run a business, operate a farm, or manage the upkeep of your home. Compare that to how we are forced to live today, and then imagine what kind of future will there be for our children 25 years from now. She further added years ago we never had to worry about losing the use of our land through artificial regulations. “We never feared getting a hefty fine for tartar on our dog’s teeth or a fine because our cattle look to be too cold. We never worried about a construction job being shut down because of the blanding turtle nesting nearby. Farmers were not told they were not allowed to work their land because it was a potential nesting spot for the bobolink.â€? Another guest speaker was Gary Eve from Jasper, just outside of Smiths Falls. Mr. Eve went on to tell his story of his recent experience of trying to sever four acres off his 111acre property for his son. He applied for a land severance from his township, something that has been common practice for many in the past. After the $500 assessment application went through, he was told he had to get an archaeology study done from the Ministry of Tourism and Culture and was asked, at his expense, to do several test digs on this four-acre parcel of land. A few thousand dollars later, the test digs resulted in a few broken pieces of old pottery and some four-sided rusted nails used in construction back in the 1800s. Back in those days, he said, you didn’t have garbage pickup. It was just buried out back someplace. The ministry calls an old nail an artifact. They also found an 1875 Canadian 25cent coin, valued at $400. of which he was not allowed to keep. The ministry now decided the four acres was a site of archeological interest. He was told that finding 19th-century materials of any kind was good enough to require a more thorough and extensive dig ‌ at his expense! He was also advised from the review officer the government doesn’t care how much money the landowner spends. Mrs. Burns told the audience we need to protect our private property rights.

We have to stand our ground. We are already seeing the ugly effects of this … our railway tracks have already been removed. Greyhound buslines have drastically cut back their services to this area from Toronto as well as Ottawa.

Our rural mailboxes are being removed. Elderly people and those without vehicles will be forced to move into the urban areas which is another way of de-populating the rural areas. We have to fight back and not give in. Years ago, we didn’t have

some of these conveniences. It may have to happen again for a while. They can’t enforce these regulations upon us unless we enter into an agreement with them. You must be careful what you are signing because you could be opening the door

because they are barely keeping their heads above water with the high cost of living, our gas, our hydro, our food. Property rights are not a priority on their agenda. There is a lot of value in private property. You just have to believe in it.

to all sorts of regulation that forces you to give up control of your rights. We have to work together and educate our young people and protect them from signing away their property rights. It could be so easy for them to just sign away their rights

Scotch-tasting night Nov. 7 at Crown & Kilt Graham Jamieson Renfrew Highland Pipes & Drums

Community - So, what do you know about Scotch? It is known as Uisge Beatha and when translated from Gaelic to English, it means the water of life. It can be purchased as a blend or single malt whisky and it can only be called Scotch if it is made in Scotland. All others that are not made in Scotland are known as single malt whisky or a blended whisky. It is believed that it was first distilled in the 15th century by some monks. Single malt whiskey distilleries can now be found in Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Australia, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, Holland, France, Germany, Spain, In-

New offices Continued from page 5

Nov. 7 at 6 p.m. Carol Anderson, of GrapeScot (a wine and single malt whisky appreciation company), will be our sommelier and lead us in the experience of the finer points of single malt whiskeys. We will sample four superior Scotches which will be paired with excellent fare to enhance the unique flavour of each scotch. The outstanding fare will be prepared by the fine people at The Crown & Kilt. Tickets are $75 each and available at the Rocky Mountain House Restaurant in Renfrew. A limited number of tickets are available until Nov. 1. Come out and meet others who want to learn the finer details of how to sniff, taste and appreciate the water of life.

beautification, he noted. He said the school will turn 100 years old in 2014 and to mark the occasion memorabilia is being collected for a celebration in the facility next spring. Local MP Cheryl Gallant said renovating the school is another example of Calabogie people “making the best with what they have.” Saving a building that has a lot of memories for people and putting it to good use is a model other

municipalities should follow, she added. “We expect a whole lot more from our municipalities these days,” said local MPP John Yakabuski in praising the township for finding muchneeded extra space in a fiscally responsible manner and in a building that means a great deal to the community. “Congratulations to the entire community for getting behind this project,” he said.

He explained the project was part of a master plan that saw council improve the township’s roads, fire department and waste management services first, then tackle administration’s needs. Now council can turn its sights on some of the soft services such as recreation and

dia, Japan, Taiwan, Uruguay, Brazil, United States, South Africa, Canada (Cape Breton Island) and other countries through out the world. None of them are inferior to the others, as it is about a personal taste. Some are more popular that others but it all comes down to the flavour and after taste that the individual has come to prefer. Each has their own taste and can be changed with just a drop or two of water. It has often been said, “There is no bad Scotch … just some are better than others.” As part of the 100th anniversary of the Renfrew Highland Pipes & Drums, they have partnered with The Crown & Kilt Pub to sponsor a Scotch Tasting Night on Thursday,

Promoting fire safety in Calabogie The Greater Madawaska Volunteer Fire Department set up a display at the township’s new municipal building for the official opening Saturday. Firefighters promoted the Fire Prevention Week (Oct. 6-12) theme of safety in the kitchen and gave out goodie bags to youngsters. Among those staffing the display, from left, are Calabogie station lieutenant Steph Guertin, fire prevention officer Morgan Hann, new township fire chief Dave Murphy and Griffith station captain Dave Parkes. Firefighters from the Calabogie station were scheduled to make a Fire Prevention Week visit to St. Joseph’s Catholic School in the village Wednesday to share fire safety tips with the students.

“From talking to other municipalities, the costs are all over the board.� The sign ‘gun’ used to apply the proper standard of reflectivity has a separate price tag of about $12,000. Hence, Campbell

says Horton would likely consider sharing the gun with another municipality to reduce costs. At its Sept. 18 public works meeting, committee members agreed a program for speed-limit signs could be gradually implemented over three years. At present, the township has three tasks related to road signs, namely to determine: 1) what’s going to happen to local speed

limits; 2) how many warning or regulatory signs need to be replaced with higher-reflectivity signs; and 3) what signs are obsolete. An example of the latter would be a sign indicating the presence of children, when children no longer live in the area. Meanwhile, Horton continues to do roadside brushing to optimize sign visibility, and to request OPP enforcement of speed limits.

News - On Tuesday, Oct. 1, shortly after 9 p.m., OPP officers in Renfrew received a report from a concerned citizen about an erratic driver on Highway 17 east of Renfrew. The vehicle was located travelling westbound at O’Brien Road. After observing the driver swerving into oncoming traffic, officers activated their emergency lights. The vehicle failed to stop and accelerated away. Officers pursued the vehicle westbound until the vehicle stopped after driving over several spike belts and was unable to continue. The spike belts were deployed on Hwy. 17 west of Greenwood Road. A male driver and female passenger were arrested. Officers located two sets of stolen licence plates in the vehicle and a quantity of marijuana on the male. The female was released unconditionally without charge, while a 23year-old male of no fixed address was held for a bail hearing with several charges. Those include theft under $5,000, possession of stolen property, possession of break-in tools, flight from police, dangerous driving and driving while disqualified.

Connected to your community

Many of our birds we see only twice each year Many species migrate through our area to nest further north where space and food are more plentiful. On their way north in the spring they are in a hurry to reach there nesting territory before all the good sites have been taken. In the fall they have a more leisurely pace and will spend time resting and feeding to build up their fat reserves for the trip south. The majority of water birds, ducks, geese, grebes, swans, plovers, sandpipers will stop very briefly as they travel north to one of the millions of fresh water ponds, lakes and marshes to nest. As with the land birds, they will stop to rest and feed in our area on their way south. How long they stay will depend on the weather. An area of low pressure with cold, wet, windy condition will force the birds to ground. They will continue their migration south when a high pressure cell approaches with clear skies and northerly winds. In the spring they will travel north on a high pressure cell with southerly winds.

JIM FERGUSON Scene from the Hawk’s Eye HORNED LARK

This attractive species visits us twice each year along the Ottawa River no doubt a few remain here but the majority travel as far north as James Bay to nest. In the fall a few birds remain into December if food is available along country roads and in pastures. By the third week in February they are beginning to make their way northward again. We have seen them foraging along roadsides for seeds as early as Feb. 22. Their flight is somewhat undulating with wing-beating alternating with short glides with wings closed. Adult birds walk, fledglings

hop. Watch for this species along the Barr Line, Queen’s Line, South McNaughton Road, Castleford Road and the Thompson Road. If you see horned larks let us know where and when. SPARROWS

White-crowned and fox sparrows visit us twice each year and will remain well into November; a few may remain all winter. They make the long trek to the Hudson and James Bay Basin to nest. Both species are very easy to identify. The black and white stripes on the head, grey breast and pinkish bill of the white-crowned sparrow are very visible. They scratch for food with both feet and scurry away into the under brush mouse-like when frightened. The fox sparrow is the largest of our sparrows and is almost the size of a starling. The tail is rufous red; underparts are heavily streaked with rusty brown and grey. It scratches among the leaves sending them in every direction with both feet.

DARK-EYED JUNCOS

Very few dark-eyed juncos nest in this area and those that do can be seen along the old K&P railroad line. The majority will nest north to James and Hudson Bay. The slate-coloured head and back and white underparts are the distinguishing features. In flight the white outer tail feathers catch our eye before any other field mark. Juncos will feed at our feeders some time during the year. Mary Steele has a small flock of juncos at her feeders. YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS

Marlene Hanneman has seen both adult and immature yellow-rumped warblers on the south McNaughton Road. This species was once called the Myrtle warbler, because of its liking for Myrtle berries. Yellowrumped warblers are very rare during the summer months but in the fall we get to see large flocks of this wood warbler with the yellow rump and crown feathers, black cheek patch

and white eyebrow. ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS

This our largest hawk feeds in this area on its way north in the spring and again on its way south in the fall. Some years they remain all winter. In 2007 during our annual Christmas Bird Count 23 rough-legged hawks were counted and many were seen that winter until they migrated north in the spring. Last year, only one was counted. This hawk comes in two colour phases, light and dark. Dark phase birds are all dark brown with patches of white, light phase birds have much more white than brown. Dark wrist patches and white at the base of the tail are diagnostic from below in both phases. Its habit of hovering over prey is also diagnostic in the field. If you see any of these species please let us know. Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, RR 5, Renfrew, Ont., K7V 3Z8. Phone 613-4322738 or email jamesh@nrtco.net

As I was passing the convenience store, I stopped in to buy an Instant Bingo ticket with my $8 winnings from another ticket and also bought a LOTTO 6/49 ticket to use up the remainder,” said Marshall while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to claim her prize.

“The rest is history!” Mary Anne plans to share her winnings with her children and maybe take a trip. The winning ticket was purchased Mac’s on Raglan Street in Renfrew. Since LOTTO 6/49 was launched in June 1982, Ontario players have won more than $10 billion in prizes, including 1,266 jackpot wins. As of Sept. 1, there have been 3,089 LOTTO 6/49 draws.

Ottawa man faces Safe Streets Act charge for aggressive sales News - A resident of Ashbury Street in Arnprior called the Ontario Provincial Police on Sept. 27 after an aggressive door-to-door salesperson would not leave their property. Police attended the area and charged a 39-year-old Ottawa man with soliciting in an aggressive manner.

ing dog woke them up. They saw the trespasser outside and later called the police. Police were unable to locate the suspect. Const. Philip Holmes is continuing to investigate. The OPP urges anyone who observes a suspicious person trespassing at night to call 9-1-1 immediately. DOMESTIC DISPUTES

TRESPASS AT NIGHT

On Sunday, Sept. 29 at about 1:15 a.m., a resident on Milton Stewart Drive in McNab-Braeside Township observed a male person peering in their window. The resident was sleeping on a couch when a bark-

Renfrew OPP officers responded to three domestic disputes during the past week. One male was charged with breaching conditions of an undertaking, one male was charged with driving over 80 mg.

BREAK-AND-ENTER

Several trailers and sheds in Arnprior were broken into from Sept. 23 to 27. All locations were on the waterfront near the Arnprior Airport and it is believed the suspect attended by boat. Fishing lures appeared to be the only thing stolen, and minor damage done to windows and doors to gain entry. A residence on Prince Ave in Renfrew was entered overnight on Sept. 28 and a homeowner’s wallet was stolen. The victim indicated the front door may not have been locked overnight. Some time between 11:30 p.m. Sept. 28 and 6 a.m. Sept. 29, the

thief entered the home and stole the wallet. Const. Sean Smith is investigating. On Sept. 30 a break-in was discovered at an inactive church on Calabogie Road near Springtown. Unknown suspects broke windows, spray painted walls, and damaged property inside the church. It is not known when this crime was committed. Const. Sarah Turcotte is investigating. THEFT

On Sept. 26 in the afternoon a customer inadvertently left their wallet behind after shopping at The Beer Store in Renfrew.

By the time they realized it had been left behind they returned but the wallet was gone. Video surveillance was given to the OPP to investigate and a male customer was observed picking up and pocketing the wallet. A 49-yearold Renfrew man was arrested and charged with theft under $5,000. He was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew Oct. 30. Const. Sean Smith investigated. On Oct. 3 in the evening, personal property was stolen from an unlocked vehicle on Bank Street in Renfrew. The OPP are reminding vehicle owners to always remove valuables from vehicles, and keep vehicles locked when not in use. R0152236485

Stonefence seeking local monologues, drama and more Community - Stone Fence Theatre is looking for local stories by local writers for its second annual Ottawa Valley Script Development Project. Monologues, drama, musicals, comedy of 10 to 20 minutes in length will be read by a team of Stone Fence actors at a public event in February 2014. “Historical material, personal stories, local tragedy, feuds, memoirs, reminiscences are the raw material for dramatic stage plays,” says Ann Bulger, a dramaturge (who researches and helps edit scripts). She’s also a member of the Stone Fence Theatre board of directors. “Think about the powerful events in your life, in the lives of your family or ancestors,” she continues. ‘Think about the dramatic historical events that shaped your community over the years. Think about our cultural milestones: hunting season, curling, the church suppers, fu-

nerals, weddings, kids moving to the city, the family farm, the connections between differing groups such as AECL, the military, First Nations, cottagers, retirees.” Johanna Zomers, co-writer of this year’s Stone Fence Theatre musical, There’s Hippies Up the Line!, agrees that “ordinary life” in the Ottawa Valley is fertile ground for drama. “When we first started talking about the hippie-local stories, we came up with a dozen different scenarios and we expanded from there,” she says. “We have unique people in this area and we have really interesting distinctive stories to tell.” Stone Fence producer Ish Theilheimer sees the project as an opportunity to encourage local writers to hone their talents, not just as playwrights but in various literary fields. “It’s a powerful learning tool to hear your words read by others,” he says. “And

you never know if your words will work until an audience hears them.” Stone Fence Theatre, now in its 10th season, has produced popular plays about the area’s pioneer roots, about local personalities, such as Benny Afelskie and Mac Beattie, and about rural issues such as corporate takeovers of small business. This year’s production of There’s Hippies Up the Line! explores with comedy and music the unlikely blending of rural values with the “back-to-the-land” movement that brought a new community of city dwellers to the hill farms up the line. The show plays in Eganville, Killaloe, Micksburg and Renfrew this fall. For more information and to register your intent to submit for the Ottawa Valley Script Development Project, please email Ann Bulger at a.macbulger@gmail. com by Oct. 15. R0012336655

Monthly Column by

John YAKABUSKI MPP

www.johnyakabuski.com I have a couple of milestones that took place in the last two weeks that I will focus on in this month’s column. Not in chronological order, but firstly on Wednesday Oct 2nd I celebrated 10 years as your Member of Provincial Parliament. It has been an honour each and every day of each and every year since then. Looking back, I often wonder on how unlikely my election actually was back in 2003. In 2003 my party, the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party, was in government but it was becoming increasingly apparent that the Liberals were almost certainly winning the election called for October 2nd. As we know, they did go on to win a significant majority. Our riding, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, was a Liberal seat and had been for many years. My cousin Sean Conway, the incumbent at the time, was not running but his executive assistant was the Liberal candidate. While the NDP had a very capable and passionate candidate in Felicite Stairs, the election would essentially come down to a contest between Derek Nighbor and myself. Derek was an exceptional candidate; far more versed in policy than I was at the time, as he had been working for Mr. Conway for a number of years. He was intelligent, articulate, and very comfortable on the hustings, as well as a formidable opponent in debates. While I would be falsely modest if I said I didn’t believe that I was a pretty good candidate myself, given all the circumstances it would seem logical that the odds were stacked against me. One thing I had going for me that no one else could replicate, was the depth of respect and affection that people had for my father, Paul Yakabuski. This has become more and more apparent over the years. This brings me to the second milestone I mentioned. A week before my 10th anniversary, September 25th marked the 50th anniversary of dad’s election to the Ontario Legislature. There is no doubt in my mind whatsoever, that without the work my father had done and the commitment he had shown to the people throughout his political career, I would never have been elected. As I travelled throughout the riding, both prior to the election call, then during the campaign, I would encounter people every day who would relay to me stories of how my dad had helped them or someone they knew in dealing with government, red tape, and bureaucracy. Time after time they would tell of the compassion he had for ordinary people, and the lengths to which he would go to try to address their concerns. Often the conversation would end with something like this “well if you’re half the man your father was, that’ll be good enough for me”. Ten years into my political career I am still astounded by the number of people who continue to recollect events and the impact that dad had on their lives. At Queen’s Park, where it’s been over 26 years since he sat in the legislature, I’ve been honoured to hear of numerous stories about how dad stood up for the people of his riding, and indeed all of Renfrew County and Eastern Ontario. There are in fact still a handful of people still working there who remember him well. As time marches on I understand more and more how my father shaped me. How to such a large degree my beliefs are grounded in those that he passed on to me. I recognize clearly that while we are different in many ways, I’m proud to have retained some of the qualities that he possessed. I wish I had known my father as well when he was still around, as I feel I know him today. There will never be another Paul Yakabuski, and I know the old timers in the Valley would agree with me on that one. I only hope that in some small way, they see a little bit of him in me. 1010 R0062067653 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, October 10, 2013 23

Kim Carter (34) of St. Joseph’s looks to deal the ball off to a Jaguars teammate during Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association senior girls basketball play against the Renfrew Collegiate Raiders at the Jaguars gymnasium Oct. 1. Also a part of the action, from left, are the Jaguars Melissa Verch, RCI’s Kelsey Lambert (3) and Renee Gauthier (50), Holly Shannon (31) and Brittanee Mahusky (42) of the Jaguars, and the Raiders Jacqueline Gauvreau (25). In photo at right, Alyssa Sparling (20) of the Jaguars pulls in a loose ball with support from teammate Taylor Sul, right. Defending for the Raiders is Andrea Martin (2).

Bragging rights shared as rivals split hoops doubleheader Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - At the end of the day, both schools left the court with something to feel good about, although when these two cross-town rivals meet, a sweep is certainly on everybody’s mind. The St. Joseph’s Jaguars scored a 30-16 triumph over the visiting Ren-

frew Collegiate Raiders in Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association senior girls basketball action Oct. 1 at the Jaguars gymnasium. However, an hour later, the RCI junior girls matched it as they scored a win of their own over St. Joseph’s, 29-18. Brittanee Mahusky had a fine afternoon in the senior contest for the

Jaguars. She led coaches Mike McMahon and Jeff Halk’s squad with 11 points. Sonya Bergin added five points, including one bucket from threepoint land. Jenika Steele led RCI shooters with five points. Coach Adam Noack’s squad bit into a huge deficit with a flurry early in the fourth quarter, but could never

get closer than 10 points. The junior contest got off to a slow start scoring-wise despite a number of fouls committed by both teams. The Jaguars were charged with five fouls in the first five minutes of the game, and the Raiders four. But the score remained deadlocked 1-1. Finally, after the first successful shot from the field was made, the game opened up.

RCI led 8-5 at the end of the first quarter, and held the Jaguars to two points in the second quarter en route to the 29-18 victory. Raiders top scorer Andrea Martin paced her team once again. Martin drained a baker’s dozen for coach Jason Wilson’s team. Janessa Linton and Alyssa Sparling topped the scoring ladder for coach Mark Valliquette’s Jaguars.

Former Junior B Lions defenceman leaves a lasting impression in Ottawa PETER CLARK Peter’s Putterings

Sports - If you followed junior B hockey in the late 1970s, you’ll remember defenceman Lennox Sterling. You may have even have gotten to know him. The Eganville native was a stalwart on the Junior B Lions blueline during Renfrew’s championship year of 1977. He settled in Richmond and with

Sports - The St. Joseph’s Jaguars junior boys volleyball team captured top honours at the Vikings Club invitational volleyball tournament held at the St. Joseph’s gymnasium Saturday. After winning a qualifying game to make the playoffs, the Jaguars defeated the Fellowes Falcons in convincing fashion, and then pulled out a 2-1 win over the Mackenzie Mustangs in a heart-stopping ďŹ nal. The team showed great spirit and team play, coach Renee Turcotte said. The Senior Jaguars ďŹ nished second in their pool at the Vikings tournament They went on to earn the silver medal. The Jaguars could not quite ďŹ nd an answer to the very strong Quinte Christian school from Belleville, coach Trent Skelhorn said. “Overall, the team played extremely well and experienced what it is like to play at a higher level. They stayed close and were competitive against the three-time OFSAA (Ontario high school) gold medallist team,â€? coach Skelhorn added. Both Jaguars volleyball teams were also victorious in Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association league play. The Junior Jaguars posted a 3-1 win over the Bishop Smith Crusaders. The Senior Jaguars scored a 3-0 sweep over their Pembroke rivals.

Sports - The Renfrew Collegiate Senior Raiders did all their scoring in the second and fourth quarters, and backed by a solid defensive effort, went on to blank the visiting Mackenzie Mustangs 23-0 in Lanark-Renfrew High School Football League action at MaTe-Way Park’s Lindsay Athletic Field Friday afternoon. Connor Jamieson took a short toss from quarterback Devin Clouthier, and left Deep River defenders in his wake in a 50-yard sprint to the end zone for RCI’s ďŹ rst score. On the Mustangs next possession, the Raiders Adam Martin intercepted a pass near midďŹ eld, and returned it about 20 yards to the Mackenzie 32yard line. Matt Murdock took a handoff from Clouthier on the next play, and rambled to paydirt for RCI’s second major of the afternoon. Billy Karras also picked off a Mackenzie pass before the ďŹ rst half ended.

The Raiders appeared to add to their lead early in the fourth quarter, but a second Jamieson TD was wiped out by penalty. However, the same drive eventually ended with Murdock scoring his second major from two yards out for a 21-0 RCI lead. A safety touch rounded out the scoring. Jamieson converted all three Raiders touchdowns. The play of the Raiders on both sides of the ball is a good springboard heading into this Saturday’s Turkey Bowl doubleheader against the Arnprior Redmen. Todd Stewart and the rest of the RCI coaching staff are looking forward to having their team ready for the challenge. “We have four good practices before Saturday’s Turkey Bowl,� Stewart told the Raiders following Friday’s win. “And it’s on our turf.� It was a long Friday afternoon for the Junior Raiders. RCI lost 36-0 to the Perth Blue Devils.

Ice in at the Renfrew Curling Rink Andy Sklepowicz Behind the Glass

Sports - At the Renfrew Curling Rink, the ice is in, despite the warm weather causing continuing problems. Curling is slowly starting

as draw masters are putting together their leagues despite the late registrations, also compounded by the warm weather. Who is thinking of curling when you can still put in 18 holes, under ideal conditions

in a sport that your body is actually used to and enjoying. Last cleaning touches and repairs are being concluded in preparation for another crazy, busy curling season. So ready or not, we’ve started to rock!

Phone: (613) 432-8166 | Fax: (613) 432-8265 Once again, the Town of Renfrew will be conducting drinking water sampling and testing for lead to comply with Ontario Regulations. The town is seeking volunteer test sites in single family homes, multi-unit buildings, commercial properties, and industrial properties. Under the provincial legislation, the municipality must test the drinking water for lead at 40 private residences, 4 non-private residences, between September 15, 2013 and October 15, 2013. • Tests would be performed at older residences suspected of having lead pipes or pipes with lead solder. • Homes built before the mid-1950s could have lead pipes. • Lead solder was used to join copper pipes and was phased out in the late 1980s; any new construction done after those years should not be affected by lead in the piping system. Since the Town must access homes to test for the presence of lead, we are looking for volunteers to allow the Town of Renfrew staff access to their homes to collect samples. There will be NO charge to the resident for the testing of the lead sample. Each sample will total three litres in each location and the regulations obligate the town to advise tenants of the test results as soon as they are available.

R0021563233

Good fundraising, good golf by the ladies at Whitetail event

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 Works Department, Municipal Garage, Darl Gaudette at 613-432-4147.

Peewee Timberwolves capture dramatic tournament final Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - Spectators were offered a full seat, but they only used the edge Saturday at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. In a thrilling final, the Renfrew Peewee Timberwolves upstaged the Leitrim Hawks 2-1 in a shootout to capture top honours at their own annual eight-team hockey tournament. Tanton Landriault scored the tournament winner while Renfrew netminder Jacob Miller denied a would-be Leitrim marksman in the seventh set of penalty shots. In a brilliant goaltenders’ dual, Miller and Hawks coun-

terpart Ethan Silveira had to be at the top of their games. Colby Bleeks and Ryan Williams traded third-period goals to set the stage for a five-minute 4-on-4 overtime that produced several good chances. At one point, Bleeks had Silveira beaten in overtime, but his shot hit the bottom of the crossbar and miraculously stayed out. Bleeks and Leitrim’s Jaxon Lawrence scored during the second round of the shootout. The goalies again stole the show until Landriault connected five shots later. The Peewee Wolves posted matching 4-1 wins over the Arnprior Packers and Missis-

sippi Thunder Kings Minors to reach the final. Bleeks had three goals and two assists over the two games. Jack O’Grady, Jayce Greer, Landriault, Nycholas Pearse and Kolby Lister collected singles. Tyson Johnston earned the goaltending win in the Renfrew triumph over Arnprior. The Mississippi Thunder Kings Majors edged the Pembroke Kings 1-0 to win the B final. ATOM WOLVES

Matt Schroeder faced 31 shots between the pipes for the Wolves. Thunder netminder Alex Daley handled 35 of 39 Renfrew shots to post the victory. Rowbotham and Jordan Bosely had two goals apiece to lead Almonte. WEEKEND OFF

The Wolves are idle Friday night. Because a road game originally scheduled for Arnprior this Sunday afternoon has been postponed, it results in an unheard off hockey-free weekend for the Wolves. Their next action will be on Friday, Oct. 18. The Perth Blue Wings are in town for the first time since last spring’s Valley Division final won by the Wolves in five games. On Oct. 19, the Wolves travel to Alexandria to meet the Athens Aeros in a 3 p.m. encounter as part of an EOJHL Showcase event.

Renfrew outlasted the Pembroke Kings 4-3, but lost 5-1 to the Osgoode-Rideau Romans, and 9-1 to the Mississippi Thunder Kings in the B. Kaleb Clemmer, Rory Limlaw, Jack Stewart and Olivia Smart scored for the Atom Wolves in the win over Pembroke. Limlaw put the Atom Wolves on the scoreboard versus Osgoode-Rideau and Carter Jarrett averted a shut-

out with the lone tally against MTK. Mitchell Cross led the Romans with a four-goal performance while Jaydon Blanchard and Sean Ireland had two goals each for the Thunder Kings. Owen Osborne tended goal in the win and B final. Jonathan Roach was between the pipes in the Osgoode-Rideau contest. Jack Whiting’s goal with 4:47 remaining snapped a 1-

1 deadlock, and vaulted the Stittsville Rams past OsgoodeRideau 3-1 in the championship contest. Pembroke outscored the Petawawa Patriots 5-3 to claim the C title. Regular-season play gets underway for some Wolves teams this Saturday. The house leagues’ regular season starts next week. - With files from Jeff Rekowski

Making sauerkraut was an autumn family tradition great-great grandfather when he settled in Northcote generations ago. It looked like a long narrow wood box with no lid. And in the very bottom of the box was a sharp blade that Father said could be deadly if you accidentally ran

your hand over it. The well-scrubbed barrel had been rolled into the kitchen right after supper, and it sat close to the table at one end. Straddling the barrel was the wood box with the deadly blade, which also, of course, had

been scrubbed within an inch of its life. Now it was time to bring in the cabbages from the summer kitchen ... not all at once, of course. They were kept out as long as possible, so that when they were finally shredded, they

would still be well chilled from being outside of the steaming hot kitchen. And that’s when I figured into the picture. It was my job to bring in the cabbages when Father announced he was ready for another one. This meant I was con-

stantly running back and forth … inside, outside. And it meant I missed seeing most of the actual job of shredding the big pale green heads, which didn’t please me in the least. See COOK, page 31

Lifestyle - The big wood barrel had been scrubbed with hot soapy water and a brush, and put outside on the back stoop to sun-dry. It would take days for it to be as dry as a bone. And if the sky looked like a drop of rain might come down, the barrel was rolled into the summer kitchen until the threat was over. Dozens of big fat cabbages were already in the summer kitchen on a table Father had put together by putting three wide planks on two saw-horses. A new bag of coarse salt had been bought at Briscoe’s General Store. We were ready. This would be a Saturday night when there would be no going off to a house party, or having neighbours in for a game of cards. This night would be reserved for making sauerkraut, and the whole family would be doing the job. I had mixed feelings about the night we made the sauerkraut. Certainly when the whole family was working together brought me special joy, but being the youngest of the five children, my job was menial at best. All I was allowed to do was bring in more cabbages from the summer kitchen as they were needed. The old pine table had been stripped of its red and white, wellworn oilcloth, and the wood scrubbed clean by my sister Audrey. All the chairs and benches had been moved back to the wall ... there would be no sitting that night! Hands had been scrubbed with a brush and

hot soapy water, and both Father and Mother wore long white pinny aprons for the job. When the work night started, on the table close to one end, was the cabbage slicer. Father said it had been made by his

WORD OF LIFE MINISTRIES Sundays at 7PM 8 Argyle and Monroe Sts., Renfrew

1938: The cattle came back THE BAND AND THE COMING WINTERS MUSIC: Without any extraneous musical practices to take them of the purely band practice, the members of the Citizens Band will hold Sunday evening band concerts again this winter, and have ordered music specially appropriate for such purposes. Leader Mitchell would also like to be training up a few more players. Young men from 15 to 20 years of age are eligible; and the practice will form pleasant diversion for the winter evenings, and ability to help in a band often stands a young man to good stead when he leaves home. It’s him with accomplishment that draws congenial companionship. THE TEACHERS INSTITUTE: The fourth annual session of the South Renfrew Teachers Association is convened in the Separate School Hall as this issue of The Mercury goes to press, and the town is happier looking than usual as it greets the visitors. The ministry has a representative at all the meetings, and will have more extended report in next week’s issue. OCTOBER 4, 1938

From the Old Files

Kathy W, Renfrew, ON day into the hands of the wreckers. Mr. John Sidock bought it for a few dollars, to be torn down. Some fine examples of timber and sawn lumber of pioneer days are found in it, including smoothly-sawn lath 10 feet in length, a few pieces of which have been carried away as souvenirs. Plaster on the interior walls remained intact. Old-fashioned nails are found. Removal of amount of structure will perhaps provide the horticultural society with a new spot for beautification. CATTLE LIKE THE CAT CAN COME BACK: The cat is proverbial for coming back qualities, and sometimes cattle can do something in the same line. Whether the five young Ayrshires owned by Hugh McLaughlin of Haleys become homesick or wandered back to their old premises at Ashdod, or whether thieves carried them off and then repented, is not known, but back they are, and everybody is happy, though not a little mystified. The case is a strange one. What was for a time a sensation has become changed into a mystery.

the final toss of coarse salt, and then a wellscrubbed stone ... the same one we used every year, was the last addition to the barrel. The stone would make sure the cabbage was on a steady pack-down. It took Father and three brothers to roll the barrel out to the summer kitchen. Of course, the sauerkraut would not be ready to eat until it had been well fermented, and was always best when the blasts of winter froze it solid. By then, which is something else I had trouble figuring out, the cabbage, turned to sauerkraut had settled down into the barrel, and was considerably less, I thought than what had been put in that night in our kitchen. For days afterwards, I would sneak a peek into the barrel and would be met with the sharp tang of the fermenting cabbage. I would have a feeling of contentment come over me. Because now I knew, deep in that awful Depression, it didn’t matter how bad things got, we would at least have sauerkraut to put on the supper table.

My sister Audrey sliced off the very end of the cabbage with a sharp butcher knife, and that too was tossed into the baskets by the table. And then that head was passed on to Father. With spotlessly clean hands Father fed the head of cabbage into the wood box straddling the barrel, running it back and forth over the sharp blade, letting the finely shredded cabbage fall into the barrel. Mother used a block of wood attached to a short pole (Father’s creation), and every so often Father stopped shedding, as mother gently packed down the cabbage. Everything would come to a halt, and with a measuring cup dipped into the bag of coarse salt, Mother would spread in a goodly amount. For some reason I was never able to fathom, the number of shredded cabbages, was always enough to exactly fill the barrel! Not right to the top, of course, but with about 10 inches of what Father called ‘breathing room’. The very top of the shredded cabbage got

But back in those days, a young daughter did exactly what she was told. There was no negotiating with a brother or sister to change jobs! It was Emerson and Everett’s job to peel off the very top leaves of each head of cabbage. Not one leaf more than the very top ones, either. That would be sheer waste. Beside the table were two huge baskets, and into these baskets went the pulled-off outer leafs. They wouldn’t be tossed out in the back yard, where garbage for which there could be found no other use (and that was very little indeed) was tossed. No, these baskets of leafs would go to feed the pigs. And this is where my youngest brother Earl came into the picture. It was his job to tear down the discarded cabbage into smaller pieces. That way, Father said, it was easier to make the feed go farther when it was finally tossed out to the pigs, mixed with other slop.

The way forward Ontario is on the cusp of a revolution in the way the province offers palliative care, but the plan hinges on government support Metroland East Special Report

O

ntario’s palliative care agencies offer a chilling prognosis for the decades to come. With a seniors’ population predicted to double in size by 2036, and a funding model for residential hospice care that relies primarily on charitable donations, the system just isn’t sustainable, say palliative care experts. Canadians are living longer, giving them more time to develop chronic illnesses. The health-care system can also expect to encounter a growing number of patients with unpredictable life spans as a result of an increase in cases of dementias such as Alzheimer’s and other diseases. “Unless something is done in the next few years, we’re going to be in a crisis situation on a number of fronts including palliative care and Alzheimer’s and other dementias and just physical space for treatment of the Baby Boom generation,” said Christine Elliott, Ontario Progressive Conservative health critic. “We need to start planning seriously now, because this is happening in the next three to five years,” she added. “We’re going to have to start to deal with it as boomers hit 65 and start having more complicated health problems.” Meanwhile, only 16 to 36 per cent of Canadians have access to hospice palliative care and end-of-life services, according to the Canadian Palliative Care Association, depending on where they live. Three-quarters of all deaths occur in hospital, even though most Canadians would prefer to die at home.

The provincial government has failed to properly fund residential hospices, said France Gélinas, the Ontario NDP health critic. Many are forced to come up with more than half of their operating costs through charitable donations and fundraising drives. “Except for hands-on care, the Ministry of Health has not paid for hospices, so the hospices are on the hook for everything,” she said. “Fundamentally something is wrong – we don’t ask any other part of the healthcare system to fundraise their operations. Why do we ask hospices to do that?” Hospice palliative care is a priority for the Ontario government, said provincial Health Minister Deb Matthews. But she was vague concerning the ministry’s current and future plans, adding that it wasn’t long ago that hospices received no funding at all. “When George Smitherman was minister he announced some funding. I recently announced we would cover the nursing care in hospices,” she said. “So we have come from zero to 50 per cent, or whatever the number is, in a very short period of time.” The provincial government started providing funding for hospices in 2006. TIGHT BUDGET

The Ontario government’s action plan on palliative care must recognize both the growing seniors’ demographic and the province’s tight fiscal situation, Matthews said. “We know we’re not going to have a whole lot more money,” she said. “Our government is committed to keep increasing the health-care budget, but

ing consistent palliative care planning across every region. “So, within basically the same envelope, we have to transform how we deliver care,” said Matthews. “One of those things ... is improving options for palliative care.” One option is reallocating money from hospitals to residential hospice care. Liberal Senator Sharon Carstairs, who founded and chairs the Canadian Virtual Hospice, said receiving palliative care at a hospital or long-term care facility is the most expensive form of delivery. “You want to avoid sending someone to a hospital setting if you possibly can. But at the same time you

need a hospital setting,” she said. “It’s turf war. It’s about moving the dollars out of the hospital system and into the community.” By funding more hospice beds, the province can reduce the burden on hospitals’ emergency rooms and acute care beds, according to a report published in 2009 by the Hospice Association of Ontario’s Residential Hospice Working Group. An acute care bed in an Ontario city costs an average of $850 per day, nearly twice the amount charged by a hospice for a residential bed: $439 per day. Using a 10-bed hospice model, this would free up $1.5 million annually in health care spending, according to the hospice working group. But this money does not represent dollar-for-dollar savings, said Rick Firth, director of Hospice Palliative Care Ontario. “We’re decreasing the cost of care for the individual and we’re freeing up beds in the hospital for them to use for other priorities,” he said, adding it’s about providing appropriate care for the patient.

Moving forward, the province needs to set a funding target of 80 per cent for residential hospices, he said, as well as improve access to hospice in rural communities. Célestin Abedi, executive director of the Champlain Hospice Palliative Care Program, an advisory group for the Champlain Local Health Integration Network, is hoping to convince the LHIN to change the funding formula for hospices. “If we would like hospice to play a bigger role in the health-care system, it is not correct to ask them to fundraise for 60 per cent of the budget to do that,” he said. “In the rural regions, where you almost don’t have any capacity for fundraising, you cannot give them a bed and say, ‘fundraise for 50 or 60 per cent of that money,’ knowing that they don’t have that capacity.” Hospices already supplement their operations with an army of volunteers. More than 600 people donate their time to Hospice Care Ottawa to keep its services afloat.

See video of one volunteer’s story: www.insideottawavalley.com /ottawaregion-video/

The Champlain LHIN is now looking at how much money goes into palliative care in hospices and in the region. Its strategic plan identifies palliative care as one of the health network’s priorities for 2013-16. MOVING FORWARD

A big part of the solution to Ontario’s palliative puzzle lies in the integration of services, say palliative care experts. “Integration is key,” said Firth. “It’s a trend in most of the western world in order to contain health-care costs.” After years of advocating for improved access to hospice by the Quality End of Life Care Coalition of Canada, the message finally resonated with the federal government. In 2012, the Canadian Palliative

here’s a lesson for palliative care professionals in the way Roger’s House helps dying children. “Truly, the model we have for pediatrics would be the gold standard for adults,” said nurse Marion Rattray, manager of Roger’s House. One of only four hospices of its kind in Canada, Roger’s House provides eight beds and a home-like environment for families whose children are terminally ill. Respite care, pain-management consultations and other types of ongoing interventions are more necessary for young patients at the end of life, Rattray said. Caring for palliative children is

program aims to help patients and caregivers create a palliative care plan that starts long before the patient is in the final days of life. “The one thing about the Ottawa program is that the community has come together and (is) talking together about integration of services,” said Kitchen Clarke. Other examples of cities offering innovative and integrated programs include Edmonton, which has a regional palliative care program that offers 57 hospice beds located in three different areas in the city, as well as an intensive palliative care hospital unit.

Lessons from Roger’s House

usually a more complex challenge than providing the same care for dying adults. Children receiving palliative-care are more often stricken by multiple, complex genetic conditions that leave the child with very high care needs. “We need to be connected to a tertiary care hospital,” said Lloyd Cowin, executive director of Roger’s House. “That’s critical.” That need reinforces the link between the hospital’s palliative care team and the hospice – something that differentiates it from hospices that serve adults. Those lessons could be translated into adult care settings by having medical teams extend palliative care

outside hospitals, she said. “You’d have a palliative care team in hospital, but that team would also outreach into the community, into the hospices,” Rattray said. Many hospices are affiliated with hospitals and palliative-care experts who work in a medical setting, said Cowin, but that interdependency is more vital in pediatric palliative care. One of the big secrets of its success is co-location – the house sits on what was a small sliver of spare land at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. Being located on the same site means doctors and nurses from the hospital’s palliative care team help oversee care at Roger’s House.

“It’s very unique,” said Cowin. “It’s a big reason for our success.” The labour-intensive youth hospice model works simply because it serves a smaller proportion of palliative patients, Rattray said, making it possible for Roger’s House and CHEO to invest the resources needed to provide that high level of care. Creating a connection with families and the children themselves helps ensure the patient receives the type of care that’s best for them during the entire course of their illness, Rattray said. “The beauty of it is if we are consulted early in the illness trajectory we are able to help them all the way through,” she said.

Advance care checklist Think about what is right for you. What’s most important to you about your end-of-life care?

Learn about the different medical procedures that can be offered at the end-of-life. Some may improve your quality of life, others may only prolong it.

Choose your substitute decisionmaker. Pick a loved one who is willing and able to speak for you, if you can’t speak for yourself.

Talk about your wishes with your substitute decision-maker, loved ones and doctors.

Record your end-of-life wishes – write them down, create an audio record or make a video. Courtesy of advancecareplanning.ca

That’s the type of foresight – referred to in the medical community as “advanced care planning” – that palliative-care professionals say would help ensure patients get the care they need – and not treatment they don’t want. It would also reduce the burden of dying adults on hospitals. The key is to let the patient and his or her symptoms dictate what time of treatment or care is needed, Rattray said. “In medical schools and in nursing school, basically you’re taught to fix. And we are such a deathdenying society that we have to fix. We just have to fix this. And some things we can’t.”

They are asking council to block off Railway Avenue from 9 to 11 a.m. on the Sunday for a ball hockey game. Coun. Gail Cole asked if those hours could be altered because of the neighbouring church, which will be in session at the time. Coun. Jim Miller noted this is a very important weekend conference with about 30 rooms booked at the Renfrew Best Western. The society has about 600 members, and many will be visiting the Birthplace Museum and other events while here.

Larry Grossman, Minister of Consumer and Corporate Relations, told a Pembroke audience that 1981 was a target date being mentioned in discussion with the county for the province to move into the building. Most members of the county council would like to see the county seat moved from Pembroke, which no longer is a member of the county. Mr. Grossman made the comments after a

Led by teacher Don MacLeod, the jazz band has performed at many local venues and locations. MacLeod, whose favourite instrument is the trumpet, loves jazz music. That, and a love for working with students, has inspired MacLeod to continue to offer this program. When asked why he loves leading jazz band, MacLeod stated, “I believe it is a great opportunity for students to perform outside of school.” This is quite true. The band performs at Christmas concerts, in local elementary schools and on an annual year-end trip. At the upcoming Coffee House on Nov. 14, the jazz band will be showcasing its progress.

BRWP – My land, our water Bonnechere River Watershed Project

A safe and secure long-term water supply is crucial for the quality of life of all residents of Bonnechere River watershed. It is a key factor in ensuring economic prosperity and healthy communities. A healthy watershed means clean drinking water and an adequate water supply for agriculture, other businesses, wildlife, and recreational opportunities such as hunting, fishing, canoeing and hiking. The Bonnechere River watershed is a series of interconnected ecosystems including forested rocky uplands, fertile farmed lowlands, urban centres, wetlands, streams, lakes and rivers. The connectedness among these areas means that what happens uphill and upstream, will affect areas downhill and downstream. We also need to realize that the amount of water we have to use if finite, because what flows through our property comes from the global water cycle. It takes about five days for a drop of water to travel from the headwaters of the Bonnechere River in Algonquin Park to its mouth at the Ottawa River at Castleford. Our actions can have a direct impact on the health of that water droplet. Both surface water and groundwater can be easily degraded and contaminated. Even if the degradation or contamination at one place is small, the combined

impact across a watershed can be significant. About 80 per cent of the land in the Bonnechere watershed is privately owned, and rural residential and agriculture are the primary land uses. Most rural residents obtain their water from private wells. Thus actions to protect surface and groundwater need to occur at the individual and farm property levels. Best management practices (BMPs) are proven, practical and affordable approaches to conserving water, soil and other natural resources. Undertaking appropriate BMPs on our properties will help to protect water quality in our own backyard as well as in our community. Numerous BMPs have been developed to help reduce water pollution and protect the quantity of water available for use. For agriculture, BMPs include protecting remnant wetlands and forest cover, having an environmental farm plan, reducing and carefully timing application of fertilizers (e.g. not spreading manure on frozen ground), maintaining a minimum 30 per cent residue cover in fields, retaining or planting buffer strips between streams and agricultural land, tree planting, fencing livestock from water courses, keeping surface water away from barnyards and manure storages, and using retention ponds to mitigate peaks in tile drains.

BMPs for rural homeowners include protecting remnant native habitat (e.g. grassland, wetland, forest), containing pets, regular inspection and maintenance of septic systems, upgrading and maintaining wellheads, testing well water regularly, and decommissioning abandoned wells. Water is considered to be the main channel through which the impact of climate change will be felt and therefore is the key to developing successful adaptation strategies. Regardless of future greenhouse gas emissions trends, a certain amount of climate change is already upon us. Changes in freshwater systems, like the Bonnechere, are already being observed around the world. Water-related issues – whether there is too little water, too much, too unreliable, or of poor quality – are expected to increase. Failure to adapt to our changing climate can jeopardise water security over the long-term and make it more costly for property owners and governments to respond, for example, by having to build addons or retro-fit water-related infrastructure. With better understanding, wise use, and adaptive planning for our surface and groundwater, we should continue to have enough clean water even as our climate is changing. While we may own the land, water is truly a community resource!

Rotary Club of Eganville member Alan Fox of Dacre presents flowers to this year’s featured young performer, Heather Lepine of Renfrew. She performed J.S. Bach’s Invention No. 13 in A Minor and R. Starer’s Pink and Crimson. The Rotary Club of Eganville has been sponsoring the Young Performers Program since the late 1990s. One of the early Young Performers – Joshua Hopkins – sings today at the Metropolitan Opera.

The Ottawa Valley Music Festival Chorus and Orchestra celebrated its 20th anniversary with a concert Sunday at Grace-St. Andrew’s United Church in Arnprior. It featured soloists soprano Jessica Belanger, tenor Kevin Myers and bass Gary Dahl. The concert, under the direction of Peter Morris, included classical choral and orchestral music including Schubert’s Mass in G Major and Barber’s Adagio for Strings.

Twenty years of making beautiful music Lucy Hass lucy.hass@metroland.com

Community - Music is a magical thing, bridging the gaps of age, gender and beyond. In 2013, the Ottawa Valley Music Festival Chorus and Orchestra celebrated 20 seasons with two choral and two instrumental concerts, including last month’s concert at Grace St. Andrew’s United Church in Arnprior. “It is a great time to be 20 and we are thankful that, through your support, we have managed to reached this milestone,” chair Tom Haight told supporters in a 16page concert programme. He said the festival’s commitment to the development of young musicians continues through its scholarships and awards program, and the support of the Eganville Rotary Club allows the presentation of a young performer at each concert. The young performer featured at the

Sept. 8 concert was Heather Lepine of Renfrew who performed J.S. Bach’s Invention No. 13 in A Minor and R. Starer’s Pink and Cinnamon. A Grade 12 student at St. Joseph’s High School in Renfrew, Lepine has been playing piano since the age of five. She plans to obtain a bachelor or master’s degree in music therapy. The Arnprior concert also featured Renfrew soprano Jessica Belanger. The success of groups such as the Ottawa Valley Music Festival depends upon the efforts and support of many – board members, concert convenors, volunteers, patrons, sponsors and donors. “Local mayors, councils, churches, service clubs and businesses of the Ottawa Valley, especially those of Renfrew, Eganville, Pembroke and Arnprior, offer us hospitality, generosity and encouragement,” Haight wrote. The Ottawa Valley Music Festival is a non-profit, charitable corporation with the

objectives: • To promote the appreciation of classical music by providing top-quality concerts throughout the Ottawa Valley; • To assist promising musicians by providing the opportunity for them to perform in a professional setting; and, • To provide scholarships to students from the Ottawa Valley who wish to pursue a career in music or the arts. The 2013 board of directors includes artistic director Peter Morris; chair Tom Haight; past chair Lesley Lancaster; treasurer Mary Schmieder; tickets Johan Veenstra; scholarships director Judy Borer; concert convenors Daphne Hanneman, Lesley Lancaster, Ilene Lemke and Nancy Illman; program and graphics chair Verena von Stritzky; publicity Niall McArdle; and stage manager Philip Lancaster. To learn more about the Ottawa Valley Music Festival, call Haight at 613-6282328.

If we could write a story It would be the greatest ever told, Of a kind and loving Father, Who had a heart of gold. If we could write a million pages, We’d still be unable to say, Just how much we love and miss him, Every single day! We’ll remember all he taught us, We’re hurting, but we won’t be sad, ‘Cause he’ll send us the answers, And he’ll always be our Dad. Though it’s been a year since you left, It still seems like yesterday. Miss you, Carl and Bev

CLR474394

I know we are all feeling a bit sad That we’ve lost our Poppa, our friend and our dad Together we have cried an ocean of tears As we feel so empty and hold many fears But Poppa would want us to know, he’s in a good place And that he’s watching us all with a smile on his face As we have made him so proud, as proud as can be That he has raised such a beautiful and special family Thinking back now we really must say We feel lucky and privileged to have known Poppa to that day For in our lives, you have played a special part The memories we will treasure and keep close to our hearts Although he has gone we will always be together And his spirit will live on in each one of us forever When you look to the sky, look for the brightest star As that will be Poppa looking down on us from afar Poppa, if you are listening say a prayer for us every day Be sure to protect us and guide us on our way We know when God called you, you had to go But we want you to know Poppa, we miss you and love you so With all our love, Kim, Bill, Joel, Kate, Bonnie, Neil and Abby

ISABEL MARION GIBBONS (NEE KNIGHT) After a lengthy battle with cancer, Isabel passed away peacefully at Hospice Renfrew, on October 3, 2013 at age 73.

YORK, Jamie In loving memory of our dear Jamie who left us so suddenly and tragically while at work, October 6, 2009. 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.

Isabel enjoyed a career as a registered nurse for many years, but was at her happiest when surrounded by her family and many friends. She enjoyed many past-times, including cooking and baking, knitting, gardening, volunteering at the Renfrew Fair, and travelling among others. She took great joy and pride in all of her children and grandchildren, and she was loved dearly in return. Thanks to everyone who visited and sent cards and owers during Mom’s illness. Thanks also to the doctors and nurses at the Ottawa Civic and General Hospitals, as well as the Renfrew Victoria Hospital for the care she received during her hospitalizations. Special thanks to the entire staff of Hospice Renfrew for the exceptional care she experienced there, to Sheilah and Lindsay Gibbons, Willis Wren, and Barb Smith for the many drives to appointments and other support she received from them, and to long-time friend and travelling companion Marilyn Delarge for the many hours spent looking after her and keeping her company during her illness.

The family of the late Bill Oates of Foresters Falls wishes to thank all those who helped out at the time of his death on September 19, 2013. With each embrace, every clasp of hands you enabled us to endure our loss and to share our burden of grief. Everyone who came to console us took away with them a small portion of our sorrow which allowed our loss to be lessened. In our hearts, especially, is the staff of the Bonnechere Manor, for their efforts to ensure the very best care and comfort for Bill and his family. We wish to convey our thanks to Mr. Wayne Heubner and his staff for their compassion and care. The utmost admiration is bestowed upon this wonderful community, who in times of need stand at the ready; “They don’t just say ‘Is there anything I can do?’. They think of something appropriate and just do it.� (Edgar Watson Howe 1853 – 1937) The kindness shown by the giving of food, cards, emails and long distance hugs helped to sustain us. We are blessed in having Trinity United Church in Foresters Falls. Though God answers our plea for strength, it is you, good people; His servants here on earth who show that He abides within, by your acts of good grace. Donations towards Trinity United Church Memorial Fund and RVH Dialysis Renfrew in Bills memory are greatly acknowledged and appreciated. It is with these regards we thank all of you. From the families of David, Lianne, Kenneth and Karen.
