Calabogie crash takes pilot’s life Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

The investigation continues into the plane crash that took the life of a veteran pilot Monday afternoon. Robert John Reany, 74, of Port Elgin, Ont., died when his single-engine Socata TBM 700 went out of control and fell from the sky near Calabogie around 12:15 p.m. Reany, who left the Carp Airport and was ying alone in his six-seater, was heading to Goderich for Thanksgiving dinner with his family in southwestern Ontario. It was a return trip for Reany, who was scheduled to land in Goderich about 1:30 p.m. Timmins lawyer Lorenzo Girones and Reany had own from Goderich to Carp earlier in the day. While it is still too early to determine the cause of the crash, Transportation Safety Board Investigators said Tuesday that the impact was so intense that it uprooted a giant oak tree.

Opeongo High School students ‘moving it for Mark’ Steve Newman stevenewman@metroland.com

Sarah Leighton is headed to her second world powerlifting championships more prepared and more confident . – Pages 25 –

The suicide of student Mark Springer on Oct. 20, 2011 sent shock waves through the Opeongo High School community and beyond. But reaction to his death may beneďŹ t generations young and old for years to come. Discussions were already underway to do something about bullying and other issues related to mental health at the high school when the 17-year-old took his own life. But the discussions then took on a new urgency, and the Back Me Up Club was born. Few people were closer to Mark than current Grade 12 student Paige

daughter of Ottawa Senators coach Luke Richardson and wife Stephanie. Since then, Do It For Daron was established to heighten awareness of mental-health concerns. Mental health remains topical, largely because suicide is the second leading cause (behind accidents) for Canadian youth ages 15 to 24. OpeongoĘźs Back Me Up Club members talk about a wide gamut of issues, that are as varied as reactions to and ways to prevent bullying, depression, isolation created by excessive criticism and how one reacts to a bad mark on a test. Without being speciďŹ c, Paige admits her friend had issues. But she says she

Zadow, who is a member of the new and successful club. Several members of that club, which meets every Friday at noon to discuss mental-health issues, are also taking part in the 9 Run Run. ItĘźs an Oct. 20 road run over distances of three, 10 and 21 kilometres, in Stittsville. Proceeds, which exceeded $25,000 last year, will support mentalhealth programming at the Royal Ottawa Hospital and the Do It For Daron campaign. The latter is about inspiring conversations, raising awareness and transforming youth mental youth. Daron, who took her own life in November 2010, was the 14-year-old

didnĘźt know that issues for her goofy, life-of-the-party friend were that big. In fact, when he texted her at 4 p.m. Oct. 20, 2011, she had no idea that the words, “Paige, I love you, goodbye,â€? were his last to her. He was found dead later that evening. His wasnĘźt the only Renfrew County student to take his life in a 12-month period of 2011 and 2012, says Opeongo High School principal Amy Johnson. She says four boys killed themselves, and that something needs to be done, not just here but across Canada, to embrace the importance of discussing mental-health issues. See MOVE IT, Page 2

Puhalski, council at loggerheads? Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

STEVE NEWMAN

Opeongo High School principal Amy Johnson is joined by students Paige Zadow, left, and Judline Wren. The three are among a growing number of participants in its Back Up Me Club and other proponents of support for mental health issues. Johnson is wearing the DIFD t-shirt on behalf of the Do It For Doran campaign that arose from the suicide of Daron Richardson. The others hold up both sides of the Back Me Up t-shirts.

Move it for Mark Continued from front

She says Opeongo students have definitely done that and says sheʼs very proud of them. She also stresses that the club isnʼt a quick fix, but part of a discussion that needs to continue, partly because new students come to the high school every year. Back Me Up member Judline Wren says an open mind is required so that each gender and all ages learn to talk about mental health with an open mind. Her anti-bullying mentality was a major reason for joining the club, she says. “Iʼm really against bullying. It actually makes me sick when I see it or hear about it,” said the Grade 11 student who wants to pursue post-secondary studies in social work. Paige says Markʼs death had a lot to do with her joining the club. “I always said that Mark wasnʼt bullied, so I can imagine what other people who are being bullied are thinking,” said Paige. Paige told math teacher Amanda Hawkins and principal Johnson that they needed to create a group to “let people know that bullying is not right and lots of other students in this school are willing to help you if you have a problem.” Now that Mark is gone, Judline says, “I try to be more open-minded, and if someone needs to talk to me, Iʼm available. Iʼm always watching (to see who needs a listening ear).” “I value my life even more,” says Paige.

“I realize things (words and actions) can hurt people.” Ironically, Janet Springer started running to support the Do It For Daron campaign before her sonʼs death. Even last year, to show her support, she postponed her 21-kilometre run until December, when she completed it with friends. The connection between her son and Do It For Daron is even more palpable when she recalls the night Mark joined her for her threekilometre training run. “Mark had just got his driverʼs licence, and he followed me in the car so I didnʼt have to run in the dark,” says Janet, whose family lives in the countryside. A year after her sonʼs death, Janet is trying to do her part for others who are dealing with mental-health issues. But sheʼs not trying to answer questions she canʼt answer. “Thereʼs no whys or what ifs,” she says of her sonʼs death. “The only person that knows why isnʼt here anymore.” She says about 70 local runners, including more than 20 Opeongo students, are expected to travel to Stittsville for the 9 Run Run, which is also referred to as the Ottawa emergency servicesʼ run. Opeongo High School students, knowing Mark was an avid hunter, will be wearing hunter orange T-shirts that feature deer horns in the shape of a heart and the words Move It For Mark. The shirts will be worn for ʻorange dayʼ on Friday, Oct. 19 and while participating in 9 Run Run the next day.

Pilot Brown to be remembered on wall Peter Gower Special to The Mercury

Seventy-one years after his death while flying over the North Sea, Louis Brown will be properly remembered in the town where he went to school. For the first time, the city of Kingston will be remembering all its war dead on one memorial. Since 1921, Memorial Hall has had a plaque with 258 names, and Frontenac County Court House has one with 125 names. A Book of Remembrance for Second World War deaths with about 300 names has been in Memorial Hall since 1946, but is kept closed. On Tuesday, Oct. 16, the City

Mayor will unveil a wall in Memorial Park, next to Memorial Arena, with names of all the known dead from the South African (Boer) War, the two World Wars, Korea and the recent conflicts in the Near East. The new wall will include names of those who died in these conflicts and who had called Kingston or area home because of birth, residence, school or work. Recent research has increased the number of names to close to 1,000. The new names have been discovered by a close reading of contemporary newspapers and a public appeal for names from surviving families. The names are sandblasted on black granite, and the eight-foot high wall

2 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, October 11, 2012

is made of Indiana limestone. Among the Second War names is ʻBrown, Walter Louisʼ. No ranks or decorations are included with the names. Brown was a student at Regiopolis College in Kingston. He joined the Royal Air Force in 1938. He was only identified at the time as Louis, but his legal first name was Walter (the same as his father, Dr. Walter Aloysius Brown, of Renfrew) and he is in all official records as Walter. As Kingstonʼs local researcher, I was unable to identify him until alert readers in Renfrew heard of the problem, and quickly identified him – and even offered their memories of him.

Ray and Regina Puhalski have displayed a keen interest in Horton council since the new municipal term began in late 2010, but the interest appears to have worn thin with council members. The Horton Township couple has attended several council meetings, though none since November 2010, while Ray has maintained correspondence with council and staff through letters or emails. Some correspondence, from April 2012, voiced his claim that council violated the remuneration bylaw. Meanwhile, some council members say his scrutiny of council has reached a level of discomfort. In speaking about “the war Iʼve had with council,” Ray says he hopes to get some answers when he attends an open meeting with some staff members and council on Monday, Oct. 15 at 4 p.m. When asked what he expects from Horton council in the future, he told The Mercury, “I canʼt answer it (that question) now until I get some more answers and see how they handle the meeting on the 15th.” However, he does point out that he has received positive response to his ads in the paper to produce minutes on council meetings. Puhalski says several residents have told him theyʼre displeased with how council conducts business. One of his requests from council is to have the monthly council meeting package posted on the Horton Township website before the meetingʼs date, so residents know whatʼs going to be discussed. Most monthly council meetings are the first Tuesday of the month. On the issue of whether monthly-meeting documents be provided online before the meeting date, chief administrative officer Mackie McLaren said the County of Renfrew does, but

Braeside Home Furnishings

most local municipalities do not. “I believe our council should be able to stage our own destiny as far as how we want to receive (or deliver) information,” said Eady. The mayor also acknowledged that informationdissemination may be changing, given that high-speed Internet for all residents should be in place by the end of 2013. In Ray Puhalskiʼs Sept. 25, 2012 letter to all five council members, he wrote, “At the present time, we the residents do not get to review the minutes of the regular monthly council meetings until approximately 40 days AFTER the meeting took place. This is simply too long of a time period.” In the same letter, Ray says he has never been consulted by a member of Horton council for his opinion, which causes him to ask council members if they have “ever consulted other residents PRIOR to making decisions at council meetings. After all, this should be a democratic municipality … not a dictatorship.” The letter also says a draft version of these minutes should be posted to the Horton website as soon as the minutes are typed, since he claims typed versions of the minutes are not subject to revision. In conversation with The Mercury, Ray admitted, “Iʼve been a big pain in their butt, but I donʼt think Iʼm harassing.” Coun. Margaret Whyteʼs not so sure. During Horton councilʼs monthly meeting Oct. 2, she said, “We were elected to run council for four years – not Mr. Puhalski. I think we do it to the best of our ability.” Then, while raising her voice, she added, “He has continued to harass us and critique us, and I find it very offensive. Heʼs jeopardized and questioned my credibility and my integrity, and all our phone numbers are in the phonebook. Heʼs never phoned me … and my email address is on township business cards, but I just donʼt think itʼs proper etiquette for him to inform all our residents about our decisions. See PUHALSKI, Page 3

No More Bullies campaign kicks off Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

No More Bullies had a great start, Majic 100 brought its campaign to more than 7,000 Ottawa Valley students, and even one school in Barbados. But the radio station is looking to continue to share that message, as it kicked off its second annual No More Bullies season at Renfrew Collegiate Institute Tuesday morning. Stunt Man Stu and his Majic 100 colleagues Trish Owens and Angie Poirier, were joined by guest speakers Faron Gogo of Youth Net, gay university student Scott Heggart and Erin Dejong of the Canadian Red Crossʼs Respect ED program. They all spoke in the hour-long assembly, to about 500 RCI students and staff, about how to eliminate bullying, and where to go for help when bullied. The assembly finished off as it began, with the message of No More Bullies. Several students held up sheets of paper that read that message before crumpling them on the floor and being reminded that the effects of bullying donʼt easily go away, even if we try to stamp them away. At the conclusion of the assembly, free No More Bullies wristbands were handed out to students. “Iʼm thrilled to kick it off here at RCI,” said Stuntman Stu, who many know as the public address announcer for the Ottawa Senators hockey team. In the absence of National Hockey League activity, because of the current contract stalemate, Stuntman did a quick announcement as if the RCI Raiders were playing: “Raiders goal, his fourth of the season, scored by Number 87, Tyler Kelly …” But the real focus was the anti-bullying message, as Stuntman said, “I was also bullied, when I was in high school.” The bullying began in Grade 8 and continued for two years, until he mustered up the courage to report the bullying to his principal. When I was in high school I didnʼt have Twitter and Facebook following me around 24 hours a day. You do. Itʼs much

harder for you guys than it was for me, but the scars I have inside are ones that I had to live with for a long time. And I hated school. “I hated going back to school on Monday morning. At least I had the weekend to forget about it. You should never, ever hate school.” As the bullying continued, he avoided certain hallways and sat at the “loser table” with the other guys that were being bullied. But one day he walked right into the principalʼs office and announced that he was fed up, and unable to deal with the bullying any longer. To his surprise, the principal had the bully paged to the office. Asked what he was bullying Stu, the bully replied, “I donʼt know.” Fortunately, the bullying ended that day, but Stu said no one should never have to carry such a burden for two years, a burden that has resulted in many young people committing suicide. VICTIMS

Those victims included Jamie Hubley, who died in October 2011. Afterwards, his father, Ottawa Coun. Allan Hubley spoke to Majic 100 in an interview played back to the RCI students during the assembly. As his emotional dad said, his son was a beautiful boy and that he hoped something good could come from his death, by reminding people that bullying shouldnʼt be condoned. Stuntman noted that heʼs a dad with kids in school who doesnʼt want them to have to suffer the slings and arrows of bullying. “Bullying is out there, and thatʼs why we started No More Bullies.” Faron Gogo, the youth engagement coordinator for the Youth Net mental health program that operates out of the Childrenʼs Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa, also spoke at the assembly. She talked about the symptoms of bullying, like torn clothing, school absenteeism and over- and under-eating. She

spoke about the barriers to taking a stand against bullying, like stigma and not knowing where to go for help and what to do when trying to overcome bullying. Those suggestions included getting involved as a volunteer in the community and spending quality time with friends and family (to avoid being isolated). Speaker Scott Heggart did just that, when he announced to his family that he was gay. Worried that heʼd be rejected, instead he found himself embraced and accepted. For some time, he prayed to God to make him ʻstraightʼ, but eventually he says he realized that wasnʼt going to happen. However, he says the acceptance of his family helped turn his life around, so that he never again entertained thoughts of committing suicide. “Your support,” he told the RCI students, “can save somebodyʼs life … All you need to do is say the three magic words: I support you.” Speaker Erin Dejong of the Canadian Red Cross told the students she didnʼt experience verbal or physical bullying in high school, but that she was a victim of what she calls relational bullying … of being left out of social circles, of being intentionally excluded. She also told the assembly of students that there are two kinds of bystanders. There are those who ʻparticipateʼ by standing by and letting bullying happen, and those who intervene, by stepping up and intercepting the bully in some fashion, or by reporting it to an adult. In strength there are numbers, if more than one person knows about the bullying, said Dejong. So, donʼt hesitate to report bullying, because not reporting it means weʼre tolerating it, she added. “If you take anything from this message, itʼs: Donʼt be silent.” Students appeared to embrace the assemblyʼs message, including Melissa Legault, 16. She called the assembly inspirational and helpful, partly because she too has been a victim of bullying. The assembly ended with a collective yell of No More Bullies!

“If a resident wants to know why I voted (a certain way), they can call me. They can read the minutes of all the meetings, but I feel justified that Iʼve been elected to serve the residents of Horton, and we have. “Weʼve done a lot in the two years weʼve been here, with the best of intentions, to the best of our ability, and with integrity. So I donʼt feel I have anything to apologize for or answer to Mr. Puhalski.”

Puhalski says some of his questions pertain to emailed questions that have not been responded to by the mayor. Puhalski has also requested that each councillorʼs email and phone number be provided on the township website. Coun. Jamey Larone has no difficulty with either being made available, online or in the Horton Information Corner published in The Mercury. However, he said residents should know he usually accesses his own emails only once or twice a week. Coun. Campbell said heʼs fine with his email and phone number being posted in Horton Corner or on the website.

Councillors Bob Kingsbury expressed a similar opinion, while Mayor Eady said heʼs easy to find, through the office or at home. Coun. Campbell also suggested the meeting is needed to resolve a number of issues. “I have nothing to hide; this council has nothing to hide; … I believe we can get this sorted out once and for all,” said Campbell. “I feel the frustration at the table, and I agree with Councillor Whyte – the sooner the meeting happens, the better, then itʼs all out in the open.”

Liberals slam Yakabuski’s vote against seniors’ tax credit cover home renovations – such as chair lifts, handrails, and ramps – that help seniors who want to continue living safely and independently in their homes. It is expected to support about $800 million in home renovation activity and around 10,500 jobs in Ontario each year, maintain the Liberals. “They (PCs) have no plan to create jobs, also voting against jobs funds for Eastern and Southwestern Ontario earlier this year,” they added. The Liberals also criticized the NDP for being silent on eliminating the deficit and creating jobs. “They are quick to criticize new ideas but have no suggestions of their own,” charged the Liberals. They also say the PCs continue to push the government to adopt an “immediate, legislated, across-the-board wage freeze that would last for at least two years with no exceptions, no excuses and no work term giveaways.” The PCs say the measures would save taxpayers $2 billion annually by freezing all wages, bonuses and movement through salary grids for all civil servants, including police officers and firefighters.

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski and other Progressive Conservatives have come under fire from the provincial Liberals for voting against the Seniorsʼ Reno Tax Credit. In a news release Oct. 2, Liberals MPP Brad Duguid charged that Yakabuski and the PCs “once again turned their backs on RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke seniors and job creation in Ontario” by voting against a new $1,500 tax credit to help local seniors stay in their homes, relieve pressure on long-term care costs, and help create jobs and grow the economy. “This tax credit is good news for our seniors and our economy,” said Duguid. “It helps small businesses create jobs while helping more of our parents and grandparents stay in their homes longer.” In an almost identical release, Duguid criticizes Ottawa area MPPs Jack MacLaren and Lisa MacLeod for voting against the bill. Despite the PC opposition and a several monthsʼ delay in the bill, the seniorʼs tax credit, introduced by the Liberals, was finally passed into law Tuesday. The credit, worth up to $1,500 per year, will

This includes the organizations, stories, occupations, spaces, people, institutions, events and structures that collectively define the place affectionately known as the Ottawa Valley. More than 900 assets are now part of an online database, at www.OttawaValleyCulture. ca, which residents, visitors and prospective investors can use to tour the culturally-rich Ottawa Valley. The website, developed by Blue North Studios of Renfrew, allows users to select and map the cultural assets that interest them the most. For example, music lovers can map out upcoming concerts and other musical events. OttawaValleyCulture.ca also houses a growing collection of stories that speak to the unique culture and identity of the region. Visitors and Ottawa Valley

residents are encouraged to add to the existing stories, or to submit their own oral histories that speak to the local lifestyle. “We are very proud of the launch of the cultural mapping website as it showcases and celebrates the Ottawa Valleyʼs strengths in the creative and knowledge-based economic sectors,” explains Craig Kelley, business development officer for the county. “The other exciting part of this joint project is the development of a municipal cultural framework for Pembroke and the Ottawa Valley.” The framework, already endorsed by the City of Pembroke, will be presented to the other municipalities of Renfrew County for review over the next few months.

NOTICE TO ALL HORTON RESIDENTS

Phone: (613) 432-8166 | Fax: (613) 432-8265

Recently, Horton Township purchased small blue boxes for Horton residents. These blue boxes are funded through the Community Improvement Fund – Waste Diversion Ontario as Promotion and Educational items and list recyclable items on the side of the box. These boxes can be used on or under the counter to hold recyclable household items that can later be transferred into the larger blue box that is placed at the curbside.

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 June 15, 2012 and October 15, 2012.

These small blue boxes will be delivered to residents by Beaumen Industries Ltd. during the regular curbside pickup on Monday, October 15, 2012 and Tuesday, October 16, 2012. They will be platced at your curbside for you to pick up. Please be sure to watch for your mini-blue box on these dates.

lands, streams and rivers, including the Bonnechere itself are provided, as well as species and vegetation types of interest, and references to the watershedʼs fascinating geological history. “The four community launches will provide an opportunity for people to pick up a free copy of the guide,” said Lindsay. “As well, at each launch, will be a showing of the four 15-minute Nature in Your Neighbourhood video segments that have been produced for this project.”

If your well is running low, water should not be poured back in, Pender stressed. “Adding water to a well is not recommended. It has the potential to contaminate the well and it will not alleviate the water shortage,” he said. The Low Water Response Team has developed a short questionnaire for residents and businesses in Renfrew County to document the social and economic effects of the drought. Admaston-Bromley has made these forms available at the township office, and on the website at www.admastonbromley.com by clicking Drought Updates. The questionnaire was also mailed out with final tax notices, and was handed out at the Renfrew Fair, Renfrew County Plowing Match and at the annual Soil and Crop Tour. Results are completed and sent weekly to Karen Handford of the MNR. To date, Admaston-Bromley has received 57 responses to the questionnaire. The Level 2 drought involves a voluntary reduction of water by commercial, residential and business use by 20 per cent. Should the drought be increased to the maximum Level 3, this 20 per cent reduction would become mandatory.

R0011667959

The Level 2 drought continues in Renfrew County. Question is, will it become a Level 3? “This is the first time we have worked through a low water situation. Itʼs been 12 weeks now,” Councillor and committee services committee chair Ray Pender told Admaston-Bromley Council Thursday evening. Coun. Pender was among 21 people from throughout Renfrew County to sit in on a Sept. 20 Ministry of Natural Resources Pembroke District Water Response Team conference call. Admaston-Bromley, the Bromley portion of the township in particular, is a dry area to start with, the councillor noted, but the statistics he received are alarming. The 40-year average rainfall was 325.3 millimeters of rain for the four-month period of May, June, July and August, based on data complied by Agricorp Rain Gauges in Pembroke District. Bromleyʼs total of 35.6, 37.8, 13.0 and 50.0 for a total of 136,40 mm over those four months in 2012 is not only the lowest in Renfrew County, but also the lowest in the province.

Admastonʼs total of 186.40mm wasnʼt much better, placing fifth, only ahead of only the rainfall totals of Hyndford 173.80, Ross 181.60 and McNab 183.40. The only area to crack the 300-mm barrier in Renfrew County was Brudenell, at 317.60. “Iʼve never seen anything like it,” Mayor Raye Anne Briscoe said of the lack of rain and the damage the drought has caused in Admaston-Bromley Township. “Iʼve never ever seen anything like it. If somebody that didnʼt live here drove down our roads, they wouldnʼt know were our creeks are. They are all grown in. Itʼs frightening. “We are moving into some serious time next spring if we donʼt have a (big) snow melt,” the mayor added. “The Bonnechere River is 20 per cent of its average normal flow. It is at Level 3 while we are at Level 2.” Pender pointed out that water in wells should be sampled on a more consistent bases. “Three times a year, in early spring, mid summer and early fall,” he said. The health unit has sampling bottles available and will ensure the samples are tested at an approved laboratory. This is a free, voluntary and confidential service.

Pileated woodpeckers claim a winter territory

If you live, near wooded areas where pileated woodpeckers nest, you will be able to deďŹ ne their territories by listening to their calls and drumming. We have three pairs here at the farm vying for a winter territory. At the present time they have moved and shifted their claims to the point where we think they are satisďŹ ed with the situation. There is much less calling and drumming. DARK-EYED JUNCOS

Shirley and Roger Leith have dark-eyed juncos at their

SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE feeders for the ďŹ rst time this fall. Some of these birds will remain for the winter to feed but the majority will migrate further south. The males are dark grey above and white below the females and young are greyish brown above and white below. They forage on the ground and do not scratch for food like most other sparrows. Most nest further north than the Renfrew area but some nests have been found along the K&P track. The Leiths have whitecrowned sparrows at their feeders along with the robins that are harvesting a bumper crop of cultivated grapes. Shirley says the wild grapes have not been as plentiful as the cultivated ones but both are better than in other years. Seems unusual when there was so little rain. WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS

Mary Steele has adult white-crowned sparrows at her feeders with an equal number of immatures that have cinnamon and buff crown stripes. White crowns forage on the ground and kick up leaf litter with both feet at the same time as they search for seeds and any insects they ďŹ nd. The grey breast and very prominent black and white crown stripes are the best ďŹ eld marks. HUMMERS STAY

Donita Konyk had a female ruby-throated hummingbird at her feeder Oct. 28. The number of frost-free nights will determine how long the hummingbirds will stay. Most have migrated to where food is plentiful and where they need less energy to survive. The trip to Mexico is ahead of them and it is a dangerous one. With all the hazards that

interfere with their migration it is amazing how many make the trip successfully. Anyone with an interest in birds and nature is invited to learn more about the project and become a citizen scientist. PROJECT FEEDERWATCH

The new FeederWatch season begins Nov. 10, but participants can sign up at any time. For more information about Project FeederWatch in Canada or to register, email pfw@ birdscanada.org or call 1-888448-2473. A $35 fee defrays the cost of materials and data analysis; participation is free for Bird Studies Canada members. Project FeederWatch is a joint program of Bird Studies Canada and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. There are many birders in our area that participate in the project and ďŹ nd it an interesting way to study winter bird behaviour. Results of the program are sent to participants showing the species that frequent feeders most often, a comparison of species that frequent feeders from previous years and why any shift in numbers has taken place. FEEDERS

It is time to be placing your feeders out if you havenĘźt already done so. They should be cleaned with soap and water and any repairs carried out. Sunower seed, Niger seed, cracked corn, mixed seed, peanuts (will bring squirrels) and suet will bring birds to your back yard and will beneďŹ t them during the winter months. There are as many ways of presenting the food as there are people providing the food.

R0011664192-1011

Disputes with other woodpeckers are settled by direct pecking at the intruder, head and bill waving, and drumming.

JIM FERGUSON

R0011663159_1011

Pileated woodpeckers have started to deďŹ ne their winter territory. It may not be the same as their nesting territory but will contain many of the same features: a stable food supply, a roosting hole for each member of the pair and in some instances may contain the summer nesting hole. The territory should provide shelter from predators such as raccoons, weasels and larger birds. The territory may range from 150 to 200 acres depending on the quality of the food and shelter. To deďŹ ne their territory and tell other woodpeckers to keep out, they will travel about the perimeter of their claim calling loudly and drumming. Disputes with other woodpeckers are settled by direct pecking at the intruder, head and bill waving, and drumming. Most aggressive encounters are between members of the same sex except during the nesting season when either male or female will evict a stranger from the area of the nest.

Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, RR 5, Renfrew, Ontario K7V 3Z8. Email jamesh@nrtco.net or phone 613-432-2738.

OPINION

EDITORIAL

Mayor Watson’s casino wager right call for the national capital area Despite the ethical hand-wringing that will inevitably accompany the mayorʟs announcement last week that Ottawa will entertain any proposals from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation to build a casino in the city, it is the right way to move forward on this issue. Casinos have been a reality in Ontario since 1994, in the capital region since 1996 and there have been slot machines at the Rideau Carleton Raceway since 2000, meaning residents of Ottawa have had plenty of opportunity to gamble for more than a decade. Getting squeamish about gambling at this point is a little naive

– gaming arrived in Ontario nearly 20 years ago. What is at issue is not if Ottawa will allow a casino, but where. Currently, gamblers travel to Gatineau or to the racetrack to place their bets. In the near future, OLG will close the slots at Rideau Carleton, meaning any money made from gambling will leave the city, as will the jobs associated with the operation of the slots. It would be irresponsible for either Mayor Jim Watson or council to let this happen. As Watson said last week, “every Ottawa dollar spent at the Gatineau casino is a dollar lost for

Ottawa taxpayers – it is time that we repatriate that money.â€? What is at stake is whether Ottawa will allow jobs, gambling revenue and associated tourist dollars to stay in the city or leave for good. The mayor indicated any revenue generated for the city by a casino will be spent on infrastructure renewal, job creation and economic development, all areas that will be moving to the forefront of the cityĘźs agenda in the coming years. But gambling revenues wonĘźt be the only way building a casino could beneďŹ t the city.

As the federal government sheds jobs, new sources of employment will be vital to Ottawa. If one of those sources of new jobs is a casino, so be it. It wouldnĘźt just be a casino, however, as other hospitality businesses would beneďŹ t from a casinoĘźs presence, as would the more established Ottawa tourism industry. In order to ensure a casino is successful, the city will need to be brave enough to approve a location that ensures its success. This would likely involve a central location close to existing hotels and transit. See EDITORIAL, Page 14

COLUMN

Dressed to the nines and ready to go I was standing in the living room when I let out a yell that frightened the bejeebers out of my then-ďŹ ve-year-old son. Sidney Crosby had just scored one of the biggest goals in Canadian hockey history. Having just returned from attending freestyle and cross-country ski events at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, I had lost track of when the menĘźs gold-medal hockey ďŹ nal started. Turning on the TV, I watched the late comeback by the Americans, to force overtime. Which made the overtime celebration all the more special. For my son, though, it was just too much noise about something he didnĘźt understand. And may never. As a child whose hockey beginnings were in the days of the Original Six, I was caught up in a sea of fascination, reading and watching NHL hockey when the only teams were Boston, New York, Toronto, Montreal, Chicago and my favoured Detroit Red Wings, led by Mr. Hockey, Gordie Howe. I donĘźt wish the same passion on Aidan. The game is different. The potential passion is different, I think. But there are hints that he could love the game, too, even though I suspect his demeanour is more suited to our sporting pursuits. My wife and I donĘźt want him to play competitive hockey, for a wide variety of reasons, including the fact he already does soccer, crosscountry skiing, horseback riding, golf and paddling (kayaking and canoeing). But just the other day, I watched my son standing in Canadian Tire with his ďŹ rst-ever hockey kit. He had on the elbow pads, shoulder pads, shin guards and pants. He looked as proud as could be, sort of like the way he glowed when he was all dressed up for his ďŹ rst

STEVE NEWMAN STEVE’S SIXTH SENSE communion at church. He even used the words, later that day, “IĘźm so excited,â€? about the prospect of playing in a local hockey league. ItĘźs just a sponge-puck league with a deďŹ nite recreational orientation, so weĘźre anxious to see if he ďŹ ts in. You know, the normal kind of stuff parents worry about, whether itĘźs the newest grade, activity or friends. If he never shares the passion I felt at his age about hockey, thatĘźs just ďŹ ne. I collected player cards. I made numerous hockey scrapbooks. I played the game hours on end. I even went to an NHL game in the old Montreal Forum. I donĘźt expect any of that from my son. His artistic, creative and sporting interests may take him in a totally different direction. If he merely likes the game, which he has basically only played on our pond, that would be nice. I have to admit, forking out more than $150 for his new kit and other accessories was mildly surprising. The billĘźs not ďŹ nished either, since Aidan has outgrown last yearĘźs skates. In contrast, I remember my best pair of goalie pads cost $125, or what was thought to be very expensive many moons ago, and I laugh to myself. But I also wonder and hope the beaming boy in Canadian Tire a few Sundays ago carries that smile and pride onto the ice and ďŹ nds that he really does like this national game called hockey.

Health Services Village puts a face to Week of Giving Campaign steve.newman@metroland.com

The Renfrew and Area Health Services Villageʼs inaugural Week of Giving Campaign is off and running. The keystone to this yearʼs campaign, which runs Oct. 9 to 21, is the pancake breakfast at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church hall in Renfrew. The breakfast happens on Saturday, Oct. 20, from 8 a.m. to noon. The contents of the ʻweekʼ of giving were described in detail by Health Services Village vice-chairman Peter Emon in a presentation to Horton council Oct. 2. He was accompanied by fellow mayors and Health Services Village (RAHSV) members Raye-Anne Briscoe of Admaston-Bromley and Bill Ringrose of Renfrew. RAHSV is planning for bigger pancake breakfasts in future years, with more activities for children. The first breakfast will include musical entertainment and a meal of pancakes, sausages, fruit and syrup. The cost is $8 per plate for adults and $3 for children 12 and under. All proceeds will go to the health service village for physician recruitment. To date, the organization, which is funded by various individuals, businesses and the local municipalities of AdmastonBromley, Renfrew, Greater Madawaska and Horton, has recruited six physicians, with plans to recruit eight more by

2014. Major partners in the $2.1 recruitment program basically consist of $900,000 by the Renfrew Industrial Commission, $140,000 by Renfrew Home Hardware Building Centre, and $700,000 by Renfrew and Area Health Services Village. The event will run in conjunction with the five-year Metric Mile program. “We figure we can raise $202,000 by collecting pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, loonies and toonies,” said the health services village vicechairman. Kevin Hughes, a member of the health services villageʼs fundraising committee, figured out how much money would be raised with a metric mile (1,500 metres) of each coin. A metric mile of pennies would represent $787.40, compared to $3,634.16 for a metric mile of nickels. The respective metric miles of dimes, quarters, loonies and toonies would respectfully equal amounts of $8,589, $16,872, $59,055 and $111,162. Horton Mayor Don Eady presented Emon with a $50 roll of 25 toonies — five contributed by each of Hortonʼs five council members. At the same time, Eady challenged each Horton resident to make a similar contribution to the campaign. Other fundraising events for RAHSV include local coaster sales and tonightʼs A Taste of German Opera event at Castlegarth Restaurant. There will also be efforts

to generate contributions by local businesses and their employees, churches and service clubs. “Itʼs pretty meat and potatoes, but itʼs necessary. It does two things for us,” said Emon. “It gets some funds, and it gets the information out there. If somebody doesnʼt have a family doctor, all of a sudden they realize thereʼs some hope.” RAHSV also plans to create a wall to recognize its donors. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, Emon said the Week of Giving has been conceived as a signature time of the year when requests for funds would not be overshadowed by other charity, fundraising or community events. Later this year, there are also plans for RAHSV to approach professional associations, real estate boards and the police association for support. TWO MOTIONS

The presentation ended with Emon indicating that RAHSV would also like each of the four local municipalities to consider two motions. One is for Horton (and the other three municipalities) to continue to support RAHSVʼs work in the community by pledging an annual commitment through to 2024. That amount of $25,000 in 2010 rises two per cent each year. If continued to 2024, the amount would then be $32,987.

Mayor Don Eady, at left, presents a roll of 25 toonies to Peter Emon, vice-chair of the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village (RAHSV), on behalf of the five-member Horton council. Eady challenged each Horton resident to make the same contribution. From left, in the back row, are Horton councillors Bob Kingsbury and Jamey Larone, RAHSV members Raye-Anne Briscoe and Bill Ringrose, and Horton councillors Glen Campbell and Margaret Whyte. The second motion asks each of the municipalities to agree that “any surplus in the annual municipal contributions revenue line, which was initially thought to be needed for administration, be allocated annually … on an asneeded basis to other aspects of the corporationʼs economic program.” In response to the presentation, in his capacity as a private citizen, Coun. Jamey Larone said he applauded the work of the health services village. As a councillor, he said heʼs “not opposed” to the long-term commitment, as

outlined in the first motion. Mayor Don Eady, who called the health services villageʼs accomplishment “absolutely amazing,” talked about the commitment Horton residents have made over the years to Renfrew Victoria Hospital. Eady then presented a roll of 25 toonies to Emon. Noting this represented five toonies from each council member, Mayor Eady challenged each Horton resident to do the same for the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village.

1937: Horticultural Society meets for district rally in Arnprior OCTOBER 11, 1912

J.J. MCFADDEN GETS JOCKO TIMBER LIMITS: Mr. J.J. McFadden, Renfrew, was the successful tenderer for timber berths NoĘźs 1 and 2 in the township of Jocko for which the Department of Lands Forests and Mines invited bids until the ďŹ rst of October. The price of the pine is $13.69 per 1,000 feet and $2 per thousand dues; for the spruce $13.05 per 1,000 feet and $2 pre thousand dues. A new condition has been imposed by the department under which the contractor mist clear up the debris caused by his operations before he leaves the locality in which he is working. This cleaning up is to be done subject to the satisfaction of the department. It is said to be the highest price yet paid. TWO COMPLIMENTS: Mr. J.J. Lilley, Inspector of Model Schools, when in Renfrew last week had two compliments to pay – one to the Public School building and one to the Model School class and its principal. Of the building he said that he had seen no better anywhere; and of the class he said it was the best he had come across this year, and that while he expected to visit most of the classes twice, he

OLGA LEWIS FROM THE OLD FILES

would pay the one visit only to the Renfrew Model School. OCTOBER 7, 1937

LEAD MINES NEAR GALETTA TO BE WORKED AGAIN: Operations are to be resumed at Kingston lead mine at Galetta, according to an announcement made Tuesday by A.G. Munich, general manager of the Kingston Mining and Smelting Company. The announcement caused great satisfaction in the neighbourhood of Galetta and Fitzroy Harbour; for the mine has been closed since 1933. Dewatering operations are now under way and will take several months, giving employment during that time to a dozen men. It is expected between 250 and 300 men will be engaged when a start is made at taking out ore. An anticipated increased demand for base metals inuenced the action of the company in resuming operations. HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY MEETING: A District Rally of the Ontario Horticultural Association was held in Arnprior on Thursday

evening, Sept. 30, under the chairmanship of Rev. H.A.E. Clarke, Pembroke. Those attending from Renfrew were Mr. and Mrs. D.W. Stewart, Mrs. J.M. George, Mrs. Wm. Lepine, Miss Mabel Stewart, Mr. John Call, and Mr. K.S. Russell. Short addresses were delivered by Mr. Dixon of the Dominion Forestry branch, Mr. Russell, president of Renfrew Horticultural Society, and Mr. Clark, ofďŹ cial lecturer of the association. OCTOBER 12, 1977

SPORT RENFREW GAVE $28,659 IN TWO YEARS: Sport Renfrew, in its ďŹ rst two years, has donated or committed $28,659 to various sports organizations in this area. The recent report from Sport Renfrew shows 30 paid up members with the objective of promoting sports and recreation in Renfrew and surrounding areas. For fundraising projects, the group has the Sunday night bingo, Canada Day celebration activities, dunking pool at the Renfrew Fair, and the annual Winter Carnival. Currently, Sport Renfrew is running a beard growing contest to be judged at the carnival held in February. At its election of the executive held Oct. 4 at the Sunset Motel and

restaurant, the group returned Al Dene as president, Marty Burns as secretary, Helen Sharp as treasurer, named M.J. Blimkie as past-president and moved Bill Weiss to vicepresident from director. As well, the organization created a new manager position, now occupied by Bob Virgin. MUST HAVE BEEN TWO GARDENERS: There must have been two gardeners to

look after the lawns and shrubbery around the White House in the Roaring Twenties, was pointed out to us in regard to an article which appeared Sept. 12. We neglected to say Mr. Albert Butt was the gardener in charge in 1922 and 1923, and not Ernest Maidmont, who apparently worked at the Thomas Low Estate later on. An article in the 1922 Mercury conďŹ rms this and goes on

to discuss how Mr. Butt and two unskilled assistants kept ower and vegetable gardens at the residence, much to the envy of everyone in town, despite a dry year. Mr. Butt has ďŹ ve daughters and a son, all living. Olga Lewis is available to help with research. Contact olewis@sympatico.ca

OPINION

Your Community Newspaper

To the editor: I want to invite everyone to attend Taste of the Valley on Saturday, Oct. 13 at the Cobden Fairgrounds. We have all seen the results of the recent E.coli recall of beef, so now more than ever this is your chance to discover the tasty, safe local beef from Renfrew County. I am so excited that this premier agricultural event will be back in Cobden, starting at 8 a.m. This is a record year for Taste of the Valley, as over 106 local vendors will be on site serving up the greatest local products found anywhere. This is your last chance to meet the local farmers who produce the best beef, lamb, pork, produce, maple syrup, honey and so much more. You will be able to try French fries made from local potatoes, there will be a mobile wood-burning pizza oven using fresh ingredients right from the farm, local ice cream, baked goods, and produce! And donʼt forget that there will be lots of music, a large Kidz Zone, a Climbing-Wall

and many local artists, crafts and other local producers. Taste of the Valley really brings everyone together, and it would not be possible without the support of the County of Renfrew and ProTyre. Once again, Marshall Event Tent Rentals in Renfrew is supplying a big white tent so that more local vendors can take part. Admission is free, but volunteers with the Cobden Food Bank ask that you bring a nonperishable food item for our local food bank. Not only will you discover and meet the farmers who supply our food, but your donation of a food item will help some of those less fortunate in our community. So mark Saturday on your calendar, and come spend the day at Taste of the Valley. I know you will have a great time! Sincerely,

Editorial

Does all this mean the city and the province would not have a responsibility to educate residents about problem gambling or support those who have an addiction? Of course not – and it would only be appropriate that some portion of gambling revenue be directed towards expanding and improving those efforts.

To place it on the outskirts of the city would only deter tourists and serve to limit the casinoʼs capacity to benefit the city, making the whole exercise a waste of public time and resources.

100-plus vendors coming to Saturday’s Cobden Taste of the Valley Cobden is getting ready to host the seasonʼs last Taste of the Valley Saturday, Oct. 13 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Cobden is the original site of Taste of the Valley that began in 2007 with 25 vendors and 2,000 visitors. It is expected that over 5,000 visitors will descend on Cobden to explore over 100 local vendors who will

display the best in local food, crafts and products that are produced in the County of Renfrew. Taste of the Valley events are community events that help introduce both visitors and local residents to the many unique agricultural products available in the region. Admission, music and parking are all free.

Taste of the Valley is sponsored by the County of Renfrew and ProTyre of Renfrew. In addition to the amazing assortment of pork, beef, lamb, chicken, produce, maple syrup, honey, ice cream, there will also be many local artists, wood crafters and musical entertainment. According to event spokesperson Craig Kelley, Taste of

the Valley just keeps getting better and better each year in Cobden. “When we first started out with 25 vendors, it was a great beginning, but now we have over 100 local vendors who want to showcase their products,” said Kelley. “We are especially pleased that we will once again be including the regular Cobden

Farmersʼ Market as part of Taste of the Valley. “These regular market vendors are a big part of this tradition in Cobden. There will also be a large indoor Kidz Zone, an outdoor climbing wall and lots of food to sample. “Taste of the Valley not only benefits the vendors on site, but it has economic spinoffs for the host communities, so

I hope all the visitors take the time to explore the other historic attractions in the village, and bring their coolers to fill up with products to take back home.” If you would like to see a profile of some of the vendors who will be in Cobden, visit us the facebook page at www.countyofrenfrew.on.ca/ thecountyof renfrew.

Lake Clear artist Horst Maria Guilhauman and wife Nancy co-hosted an art and fashion show Sept 16. The event was held at Guilhauman’s HMG Studio-Gallery on Lake Clear, just outside Eganville. Named An Afternoon Affair, the day was a combination of fine art and high fashion. The Guilhaumans present $1,000 to Hospice Renfrew, where the artist’s late wife, Ly Avelin Munk-Guilhauman, was a patient. From left are hospice volunteer Mary Schmieder, Horst and Nancy Guilhauman, and Hospice Renfrew administrative assistant Helen McGregor. Other hosts of the event were Three Wild Women owner Helen Aikenhead and Jean Brown of Taylor Ann Designs.

Honey was abandoned in May, she had been neglected for a very long time. She was emaciated with many wounds, but after much TLC she is now happy and healthy and ready to begin a new chapter in her life. Honey is a Shepherd/Dane mix, approx. 3 years old, she is an active, energetic dog with lots of energy to burn. Honey is a pretty big girl, she is intelligent and knows her basic obedience, she is housebroken and crate trained, she does require more training and needs to work on leash manners. She is good with some dogs if properly introduced, but no cats or children under 13 years. Honey deserves to ďŹ nd a wonderful forever home where she can happily live the rest of her life.

JOHN CARTER/METROLAND

David Galbraith, in his choir robes, was honoured at Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church Sept. 30 for donating two paintings (one shown) hanging in the sanctuary. Also pictured is Rev. Russell Wardell. R0011655306_1004

Two paintings donated by artist David Galbraith of White Lake were dedicated during the anniversary service at Trinity-St. Andrewʼs United Church Sept. 30. The paintings depict the former Renfrew United church (before the fire) and the new building. Rev. Russell Wardell called the paintings “spectacular” and said their “vibrant colour really grabs you.” He also noted paintings have several special elements, including people moving to and from the church, the historical aspect and the surrounding trees that give the church a “poetic setting.” That wild-woods aspect is a call for people to live with respect for all of natureʼs creations, he added. “Itʼs a great gift to us and our worship life together.” Galbraith, a member of the churchʼs choir, said one of the paintings took him two months, the other two weeks to complete. “There went my summer … but it was a good summer,” he said, adding Rev. Wardell and his wife were instrumental in his work. “I present the paintings to you dedicated to the glory and praise of God.” Shortly after the dedication of the paintings, Galbraith performed a solo song, The King of Love My Shepherd Is.

OPINION

Your Community Newspaper

Stand up against domestic violence or abuse, says author Gwen Rutland Bernadette McCann House

Domestic violence or abuse, is a pattern of behaviour used to establish power and control over another person through fear and intimidation, often including the threat and/or use of violence. Domestic violence can include physical abuse, emotional abuse, economic abuse and sexual abuse. Even though Domestic violence is a crime in Canada, 51 per cent of Canadian women have been physically or sexually assaulted at least once from the age of 16. It is also estimated that the majority of domestic violence crimes go unreported. In Canada, almost 20 per cent of all incidents of violent victimization, including physical assaults, sexual assault and robbery, occurred while the victim was at work. About 54 per cent of domestic violence victims miss three or more days of work a month, and less than 50 per cent of Canadian workplaces have policies to manage this risk. Among the victims, abuse impacts the lives of millions of children who witness the violence in their homes. Children who witness abuse react to the violence in different ways, but many children may suffer

from anxiety and depression, attachment problems and exhibit aggressive behaviors. Children living with abuse may not have a happy home in which they can feel safe, secure and loved. What will be the future of those children whose vivid early memories include that of witnessing their parent or parentʼs abusive relationship? Domestic violence not only affects the victims of the abuse, but the entire community. This social problem is costing Canadian taxpayers plenty. Over 4.2 billion dollars is spent annually for shelters, policing, hospitals, and courts, to name a few. We all need to do our part to address the problem of domestic violence and not tolerate violence in any form against women, men, children and teens. During Week Without Violence, an annual campaign held during the third week of October, Bernadette McCann House is challenging students in both elementary and secondary schools across Renfrew County to bring awareness to this issue. On Oct. 12 Bernadette McCann House challenges you, the community, to Stand Up Against Violence. Make a commitment to end abuse in your school, work,

Plane crashes near Calabogie Continued from front

“We can tell from the marks on the trees and the impact on the ground that it was very steep with the nose down and hit with a great deal of speed,â€? Ewan Tasker of the Transportation Safety Board of Canada said near the scene. The plane had reached 27,400 feet before quickly descending off the radar. One witness said the plane seemed to be doing aerobatics before she saw an explosion. Another reported a high-pitched whine like a motocross vehicle followed by a loud bang. “WeĘźre starting to gather witness statements (and) get a background on the plane and the pilot. “WeĘźve heard varying accounts,â€? Tasker added of what eye witnesses have reported. “We started data gathering. At the moment, we are trying to make sure all the pieces of the

aircraft are accounted for. As it stands so far, there are no pieces unaccounted for. WeĘźre going to take everything back to our lab in Ottawa and reconstruct it from there, and see if we account for all pieces.â€? Fire damage was limited to 10 or 15 per cent of the plane, Tasker added. “WeĘźll start the cleanup relatively soon, in the next day or two. It could be a bit of a struggle,â€? Tasker said of the difďŹ culty to access the crash scene. The plane was registered to Girones last month. There was no report of any communication from Reany prior to the crash. “There wasnĘźt anything unusual from initial reports,â€? said Tasker. “There was no may-day call from what I understand, or no distress call.â€?

Medical condition causes death while driving 90-year-old male suffered a medical issue in the vehicle while driving southbound on Pinnacle Road. His name will not be released. The vehicle veered off the roadway and struck a tree. Paramedics attended the scene. The coroner has not

ordered a post-mortem examination. The male was driving a 1996 Toyota Camry which sustained front-end damage in the collision. Pinnacle Road was closed to trafďŹ c for about two hours. Const. Marc Bennett investigated.

Miller elected Ontario Funeral Service Assoc. president Scott Miller, director of Hulse, Playfair & McGarry Funeral Home in Burlington, has been elected president of the Ontario Funeral Service Association (OFSA). Miller, who has been active in funeral service for 25 years,

began his career in Toronto in 1987. He worked there until moving to Ottawa in 2009 to be closer to family and friends in the Renfrew area. He is the seventh funeral director with Hulse, Playfair & McGarry to be the associa-

tion president. OFSA is a volunteer organization that was formed in 1883 as the Embalmers Association. It was renamed in 1922 and today has more than 600 members.

Powerlifter more prepared for her second world championships Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Super Sarah, as some friends have dubbed the Renfrew powerlifter, wasnʼt so super when she competed in her first world championships. They took place last year in the Czech Republic, where officials didnʼt give Sarah Leighton a green lift on her three squats, leaving her with a did-not-finish. She went on to finish an unofficial seventh in bench press and ninth in the deadlift. But, with no recorded lift in the squat, she finished last in the field. Not this time, says the Cobden native and co-owner of Ultimate Fitness Gyms. Husband-coach Paul Vaillancourt, who owns several national and provincial strongman titles, says sheʼs a much-improved lifter.

The evidence is in the heavier weights sheʼs lifting since last year and the consistency sheʼs having in training and competition after hiring an American coach and world-class lifter, Mike Tuchscherer, to design her program. Sheʼs doing more lifting in her four weekly training sessions (other than aerobic work done on so-called off days), and thatʼs paying off. Sheʼs also unlikely to be sideswiped by a massive case of jet lag, as was the case when she travelled to Europe for the 2011 International Powerlifting Federationʼs world championships. “It was tough on me. I lost weight,” said Leighton. “It wasnʼt until the second week that I could get up in the morning and function normally. “It was a lot greater than we expected. We went three days ahead of time and that wasnʼt

close to appropriate.” Another mistake was spending too much time at the championship watching the competitors in other divisions, instead of resting up. “This was just experience,” admitted Vaillancourt. “The bling and awe has all passed.” She knew she was in real trouble on her second of two squats, when she had trouble just squatting, before even trying to extend from the squat. “Normally, I should be able to squat in any circumstance,” she said. But thatʼs in the past now, as Leighton heads to the 2012 worlds to again compete in the 72kg. class. The other Canadian in that class will be past world junior champion Rhaea Stinn of Moose Jaw who competed in the 84-kg. division in 2011. “Iʼm still very much a beginner internation-

ally,” says Leighton, 33. “But before I compete at the world masters (for those 40 or older), I would like to finish in the top five in the worlds.” Wherever she places, Leighton says, “I would like to finish the competition satisfied with my lifts, whatever they are. “I wouldnʼt say Iʼm intimidated,” adds Leighton, before heading to only her second event outside of the U.S. or Canada. “I like being around lifters who are better than me. That helps me to strive to be better. “Itʼs more self-talk that really has the effect on oneʼs performance. Someone can tell you something (motivating), but itʼs whatʼs in your head thatʼs going to make the difference. You have to have confidence in your mind that youʼre going to do well, and I do.” See FAR, Page 28

Senior open winners: Ferguson & Kemp peter.clark@metroland.com

James Ferguson and Sheila Kemp are 2012 Renfrew Senior Open champions at the Renfrew Tennis Club. Ferguson topped Marcus Miller in the final to capture the menʼs singles title for a third consecutive year. Sheila Kemp outlasted Audrey Stewart to claim the womenʼs singles crown. This yearʼs Senior championship has been played in some excellent sunny weather, but has seen rain also. The menʼs B singles battle between Bob Brydges and Steve West is still in progress.

It has been postponed due to showers, but should be completed this week. Other open champions and finalists are: • Mixed doubles: Sheila Kemp and Robert Pelletier over Jane Freemark and Bob Brydges • Mixed B: Nancy and Denis Saumure over Jane Donnelly and Eldon Ferguson. • Ladies doubles: Sheila Kemp and Jane Freemark over Sharon Cayen and Sue Comeau. • Ladies B: Nicole Blimkie and Audrey Stewart over Julie Davies and Debbie Schauer. • Menʼs doubles: James Ferguson and Bob Ferguson over Paul Woolam and

Jean Moncion. • Menʼs B: Rob Hagerman and Robert Pelletier over Mike Bourque and Marc Goulet. Senior Open Tennis convenor Eldon Ferguson thanked everyone for their participation and making this yearʼs event a success despite some battles with the weather. “A big thank-you to all 43 competitors,” Ferguson said. “(This is the) biggest turnout in years and I think a good time was had by all despite some showers.” The 2013 Senior Tennis Open is booked for the Ma-Te-Way Park tennis courts Sept. 13 to 16.

Potential Wolves’ wins slip away Three hoops wins for Jaguars gals Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Will the now-completed home-stand come back to haunt the Renfrew Timberwolves later in the 2012-13 Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League season. The Wolves put only one of the five games into the win column, and overall, possess a 2-4-0-and-1 record in the Valley Division. ALMONTE 3, WOLVES 2 (OT)

Sometimes a team simply outplays another team but doesnʼt get the results. That was the case Friday night as Almonte Thunder goaltender Dominic Plaschy stole one for his Thunder teammates. Shots werenʼt that onesided – 38-27 in Renfrewʼs favour – but scoring chances for much of the game were. Only Dallas Farr could solve the Almonte netminder, beating him on a fine effort in the opening period, and again on a powerplay midway through the second. Both markers gave the Wolves a one-goal lead. But the Thunder parlayed a couple of Wolves miscues and bad breaks into fortunate second-period goals from Tyler Ollson and Liam Killeen. However, there was nothing lucky about the winning powerplay goal from Ryan Eady 1:13 into overtime.

After experiencing a tough night in his fatherʼs home town with 18 minutes in the sin bin, Eady scored an endto-end beauty, capped when he tucked the puck neatly behind Wolves netminder Matt Gagne. The Thunder was skating four men against three at the time. The Wolves had a golden opportunity to grab the game by the bootstraps halfway through a scoreless third period, but couldnʼt connect on a two-man advantage. That included a Casey Doner penalty shot with 9:20 remaining. But he joined a long line of Wolves unable to solve the flashy Plaschy. PONTIACS 6, WOLVES 5

The Wolves came up a goal shy again Sunday evening. Shawvilleʼs Nicholas Desrochers made the stop when his team needed it to lead a hungry Pontiac Juniors team to victory. The game seesawed back and forth until Shawville widened a 4-3 lead with two goals on Wolves netminder Nicolas Hodgins in the third period. The Wolves made it close with two of their own in the last five minutes, but time quickly became their biggest enemy. Thirty seconds later, it was over. Alex Cooper had two goals to pace the Shawville attack. Matthew Brooks-Fournier, Lucas Driscoll-McKinnon,

Jake McDonald and Tyler MacDonald pegged singles. Tanner Smith was a twogoal architect for the Wolves. Adam Gale, Sean Kyte and Patrick Dick added solos. Each team had 31 shots while the Pontiacs took seven of 11 minor penalties. WOLVES HOWLINGS

The Wolves have some welcomed help on the horizon. Coach and GM Brent Sylvester announced the Renfrew native Drew Anderson, 21, will be joining the club. Anderson will be living and going to school in Ottawa. He had been in the United States. The Wolves hope to have him in the lineup by the weekend of Oct. 19, if not before. Forward Scott Conroy should also be in the lineup this Friday. The EOJHL hosts its third annual Fall Showcase this weekend with games taking place in both rinks at Arnpriorʼs Nick Smith Centre. All 11 Metro-Valley teams take on two opponents from the Rideau-St. Lawrence Conference, with results counting in the standings. The Wolves will meet the Morrisburg Lions Friday at 9 p.m., and then take on the Gananoque Islanders at 5:30 p.m. Sunday. Renfrewʼs next home game at the MAC is Sunday, Oct. 21. The Stittsville Royals come calling at 7:30 p.m.

St. Josephʼs Jaguars girls basketball teams hosted a pair of Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association hoops doubleheaders last week. The home school fared very well with wins in three of the four encounters. The Jaguars swept games from the visiting Fellowes Falcons Thursday. Rebecca MacLaren had 12 points, and Shannon Charbonneau and Melissa Verch eight each in the Senior Jags 38-24 win over the Pembroke school. The Junior Jaguars built up a 20-8 halftime lead and coasted to a 28-11 triumph. Kathryn David led a balanced St. Josephʼs attack with eight points. Coach Mark Valliquette said a hustling defence was a key to victory. Oct. 2, the Senior Jaguars suffered their first loss of the season by a narrow 37-35 margin to Opeongo. Sonya Bergin had nine points and Shannon Charbonneau eight for St. Josephʼs. The Junior Jaguars doubled the Wildcats 30-15. Elizabeth Chirico had 11 points while Emma Crozier and Kathryn David dominated the boards at both ends of the court. The Jaguars made it to the semifinal in the Grade 8 flag-

The Junior Jaguars posted a 28-11 victory. Two days earlier, St. Joseph’s, led by Chirico’s 11 points, scored a 3015 triumph over the Opeongo Wildcats. football tournament at Ma-TeWay Park last Thursday. St. Josephʼs completed the round-robin in second place, and knocked off Cobden Public School in the quarterfinal. Arnpriorʼs A.J. Charbonneau Public School bumped off the Jaguars 31-21 in an entertaining semifinal. “Everybody had a chance to play a lot of football, and made an excellent contribution to our teamʼs success,” Jaguars coach Tim OʼConnor said.

The senior boys volleyball team enjoyed a valuable experience as they travelled to Halifax, N.S. to participate in the Scotiabank Dalhousie Volleyball tournament. They finished in fifth place with their only two losses coming to eventual gold-medallist Clarenville, Nfld., and the bronze medal-winning CEC of Nova Scotia. The Jaguars posted wins over South Colchester, Halifax West, Opeongo and Park View.

800-267-0115 Sarah Leighton stretches before one of her powerlifting workouts. Preparations continue for her second world championship appearance, scheduled for next month in Puerto Rico.

The defending champion in Leightonʼs class is American Priscilla Ribic of the United States, while other major contenders are expected to come from Brazil and Russia. Leighton is thinking her opening weights for squad, bench and deadlift will be, in order, 187 kilograms (414 pounds), 120 kg. (265 lbs.) and 170 kg. (375 lbs.). LAST YEAR’S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

corded weight in the squat, while she finished with a 120-kilogram bench press and 175 kilograms in the deadlift. If she lifted her current competition personal bests of 210, 127.5 and 185, Vaillancourt estimates sheʼd finish 12th in a projected field of more than 20 entries. “The improvements have been massive,” he says. “Thereʼs always the risk of a miss, but sheʼs one more year experienced and a farstronger lifter than she was in 2011.” Leighton and Vaillancourt are co-owners of Ultimate Fitness, which has locations in Arnprior and Renfrew.

Community rallies around Sunshine Coach Norm Dagg Sunshine Coach Administrator

For over a quarter of a century, Sunshine Coach has been providing transportation for people in Renfrew and area who live with mobility challenges. As the service grew from a single coach in 1985 to the eight vehicles that are on the road everyday currently, public support has been crucial to the success of Sunshine Coach. Each year Friends of the Disabled

and Sunshine Coach reach out for public support through the Reach For The Rainbow Telethon. Each year local businesses, service organizations, schools, churches and community-minded individuals throw their support behind this service that is so critical from a quality of life perspective to all of our fellow citizens who depend on it everyday. The current edition of the telethon will take place on Sunday, Oct. 21 from the hours of 2 to 8 p.m., and will be telecast live over TVCogeco

Channel 22 as well as myFM between 4 and 6 p.m. Due to the efforts of the committed volunteers, all of the proceeds of the Telethon will go directly to help defray the operating expenses of the service. The public is most cordially invited to drop in to Renfrew Collegiate on the day of the telethon to be behind the scenes of a live television broadcast featuring anchor host Sarah Freemark. Visitors will be able to watch the

live entertainment featuring house band Mixed Nuts along with a great line up of talented local performers. Everyone is invited to come down, meet some of our local OPP Officers who will assist visitors to “weigh in” and add their spare change to our Kilos of Coins. In addition, free face painting will be offered, compliments of Barb Beimers of Kids Corp, as well as an opportunity to meet JJ the Klown. Everyone who comes down to the telethon will be invited to make

a pledge in person. Alternatively you can call in your pledge on the day-of pledge line at 613-432-7299, or donate online by visiting www. sunshinecoach.ca and clicking on the Donate Now button or make an instant online pledge using the new online pledge submission feature. Community support has made the service provided by Sunshine Coach Service possible and this same kind of commitment will help ensure that the service is available for all who need it for many years to come.

Raider girls victorious in hoops action Peewee, Atoms tourneys this weekend Peter Clark peter.clark@metrolad.com

The Renfrew Collegiate Raiders turned back the Jeanne-Lajoie Chevaliers 5713 in Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association senior girls basketball action Oct. 2 Adrianne Guty led RCI in scoring with 12 points while Kaleigh Nichol and Kelsey Lambert added eight apiece. The Junior Raiders rolled to a 74-8 triumph. Top pointgetters were Andrea Martin with 20 points, Sage Melville 13 and Janessa Linton with 10.

RCI football teams travelled to Arnprior Saturday for the annual Turkey Bowl doubleheader. The Redmen outlasted the Junior Raiders 24-19. Phil Kadlec hauled in a couple of scoring strikes from quarterback Billy Karras while Alex Bechamp rushed in for the third RCI major. Coach Ed Oegema said his team played hard and played strong right up to the end. “We ask a lot of our top players and they give a lot.” The Junior Raiders defeated the Perth Blue Devils 28-7 in an Oct. 2 contest. The juniors host the Al-

monte Thunderbolts Friday at 2 p.m. Arnprior topped the Senior Raiders 42-14 in the second half of the Turkey Bowl doubleheader. Matt Murdock scored a pair of six-pointers for RCI. The seniors travel to Deep River to challenge the Mackenzie Mustangs. Both RCI teams are 2-and-2. The Raiders had a tough week on the senior boys volleyball front. RCI played its first two home matches of the season, losing 3-0 decisions to the General Panet Panthers and Mackenzie Mustangs.

peter.clark@metroland.com

Two Renfrew teams are jumping into tournament hockey with both feet this weekend at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. The Renfrew Peewee Timberwolves host their one-day event Saturday, while the Atom Wolves play their annual tournament on Sunday. Both events get underway at 8 a.m. The Bantam Timberwolvesʼ tournament runs on the following weekend, Saturday, Oct. 20 at the MAC.

Novice rep hockey has returned, and paced by a Chase Congdon hat trick and goaltending win from Owen Osborne, the Novice Timberwolves edged Pembroke 5-4. Angus Duchene and Ryan Kusluski added singles. Justin Schutt netted the game winner in a 4-2 Atom Timberwolvesʼ triumph over the Mississippi Thunder Kings. The Peewee Wolves are 5-and-1 in pre-season action. Among highlights were a four-goal game from Jared

Burnette and a couple of twogoal performances by Reid Barber. Luke Moran and Jacob Miller shared goaltending duties. Renfrewʼs wins include 5-2 and 6-3 decisions over the Pontiac Lions. The Minor Midget Wolves got past league-rival Pembroke 2-1. Auston Pierce had the game winner for the Renfrew squad.

Season, fun times on at Hospice the Renfrew Curling Club not Behind the Glass

The club is open, the ice is in and the clinics are all completed and, as this article reaches you, the season has begun. Now it is time for the ďŹ rst fun spiel and it is fast upon us. Saturday. Oct. 13 is the date for the Friendship ĘźSpiel and Diane Burns has everything in place. There is still room for individuals and teams to enter, but you better hurry and call her today at 613432-7294. There is instruction provided before the two six-end games, lunch is available from our hard working ladies, and a looked-forward-to meal is included at the end of the day. There are prizes, good times and laughs-a-plenty as new and experienced curlers take to the ice. As with all our fun spiels, they are open to the public as well as members, equipment is provided and curling experience is not a

requirement. If you havenĘźt registered yet but still would like to curl this year, give the club a call and if you cannot be added to a team at this time there is always a shortage of spares and you can join the second draw, along with our hunters and fall travellers who will also be coming on board then. CanĘźt ďŹ nd the time for regular curling but would still like to experience this great pass time? No problem, as the Sunday drop-in curling will soon be starting and it is available to the community at large. The Rookies Rock is a program designed for you. There are experienced curlers there to help you if you are new to the game. If you just want to join in some curling fun or throw some rocks there is no better place. At a cost of $10 to non-members there is also no better deal. For more information on these or other events check out our website at www. renfrewcurlingrink.ovca.com.

Dryland training program From Page 30

The physical training part of the program includes agility, endurance, power, and sport-specific activities. The program also includes aspects of mental and nutritional training interwoven into the physical training. Athletes are introduced to goal

setting and how to maintain training log books. Athletes are also provided with home programs to be followed during the week. For more information about registering an athlete for dryland training or ski racing, please visit the CSRCĘźs website at www.calabogieracing.com.

skunked Eighty huntersturned-golfers left the bush behind for a few hours and took to the greens and valleys of the Dragony Golf Links for the Skunk Alley Open Golf Tournament Sept 30. They exchanged hunting ries for golf clubs in a fun-ďŹ lled afternoon of golf and target practice After nine holes on the course, the hunters took to the driving range to take aim at targets cut out of wood, which included a moose, deer, turkey and, of course, a skunk. They also had a big inner tube out on the range. Any golfer who got it in the tube won $100. Andrew Dick was the only hunter to successfully drain it in the tube. Dick donated his $100 in winnings back to Hospice Renfrew. Special thanks goes out to the Skunk Alley Hunt Camp for organizing the tournament, and to all the sponsors. All proceeds went to Hospice Renfrew.

EDUCATION

Your Community Newspaper

Trip back in time at Shaw Woods Outdoor Education Centre The Shaw family laid down roots on 120 acres of land in 1847 to open their lumber company in what today is in North Algona Wilberforce Township. Today, the property at 2065 Bulger Road is the Shaw Woods Outdoor Education Centre. As trail committee chairman Grant Dobson, described it: “the ultimate outdoor education centre. Itʼs very difficult to find old growth forest. Itʼs never been cut. Itʼs 300 years plus,” Dobson said. “Just age deteriorates the trees and new ones grow up.” Dobson was joined by outdoor education centre chair Wayne Remus and director Fred Blackstein to conduct a tour of the premises Sept. 28. Shaw Woods received a grant of $28,000 from Community Futures. Some trails were added over the summer. They developed a look-out, hired an intern, purchased materials and promoted Shaw Woods with the grant funds. The Renfrew County Stewardship Council also contributed $10,000. A building will be going up and construction on it should be completed by April 2013. Shaw Woods will be used by schools. As well, the public will be able to conduct its own self-guided tours of the land, or

arrange for guided tours. While there are brochures provided, Dobson asks that people coming to visit print one from the Shaw Wood website at www.shawwoods.ca. “We are getting people from one and two hours away,” Dobson added of many people who have already toured the site. Shaw Woods provides courses and/or seminars that teach sound environmental practices to local school groups, community organizations and the public at large. “There are not very many old growth forests like this left in Canada,” Dobson said. “In a few hours, you can see 300-year-old trees, bald eagles, a green heron, and where the Shaws made maple syrup 100 years ago.” There are two wetlands and the Snake River runs through the property and into Shaw Pond. People can paddle from Lake Dore to the Ottawa River, Dobson said. “Itʼs a great paddling route in spring or late fall. Two kiosks on site are covered by large plants on the roofs, an idea created by Dobson. There was also millstones from Scotland the Shaws used to power their saw and grist mills years ago. “Weʼve built a 360-squarefoot platform,” Blackstein said. “It was done with people power,” and is located across

At Shaw Pond, from left are Shawn Woods Outdoor Education Centre chair Wayne Remus, trail committee chair Grant Dobson and director Fred Blackstein from Shaw Pond. There are 22 different interpretive stations at Shaw Woods. Quick Response Codes will soon be available at the various stations, accessible off your smartphone to view a short video as you come to each station on your tour. Those without a smartphone can view the videos on the Shaw Woods website. “Itʼs central to the whole (Renfrew) county, right smack dab in the middle,” Dobson said of Shaw Woodsʼ location near Lake Dore. He said schools from other parts of the province will also visit the site. “When we first approached the Shaw family (in 2010) they were very keen. They wanted

to see the land stay in its original state,” Remus said. “The stewardship council took on the role of initiating this project. Hopefully by late spring, weʼll be having classes here.” North Algona Wilberforce and Algonquin First Nation at Pikwakanagan have also been instrumental with their support. Remus said feedback to the outdoor educational centre has already been excellent.

GRANT DOBSON/

There is an abundance of trails for enjoyable hiking.. “People have come from far and wide. Itʼs been excellent.” “Thereʼs better trails here than in Algonquin Park,” Dob-

son added. “Itʼs a real gem. A real treasure would not be overstating it,” Blackstein added. R0381127119

Time Up the Line concert Sunday at Glasgow Station

Your Community Newspaper

Lyle Dillabough Special to The Mercury On Sunday, Oct. 14 a very special event will take place at the Glasgow United Church in Glasgow Station – one that will celebrate traditional Ottawa Valley culture, history, music and spirit with the emphasis on community and togetherness. From 2 to 4 p.m. a fundraising concert,

dubbed A Time Up The Line, will take place featuring traditional country, Valley and some gospel music mixed together with people, stories and characters from the area. Several Ottawa Valley musicians and media personalities will provide the entertainment, but it will be the church itself and the people attending, that will surely provide the greatest stimulus for the event.

Iʼm presenting the show along with folks from the Glasgow United Church and will feature the likes of Dai Bassett, Arlene Quinn, The Holley Sisters, Bernie Costello and more. Admission is by donation. Staging shows and community celebrations such as this in old churches and buildings throughout the Valley has become somewhat of a

calling for me in recent years. At 53, Iʼve been a writer and broadcaster and produced shows for artists like Murray McLauchlan and Valdy recently, but I especially love these type of old-time gatherings.

McNab-Braeside to survey residents on recreation deals McNab-Braeside residents will soon be given an opportunity to voice their opinion on recreational agreements between the township and the towns of Arnprior and Renfrew. In a 3-2 vote, McNabBraeside council members decided in favour of conducting a township-wide survey that some members believe will settle an ongoing debate over how the township should pay for recreation services. Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie initiated the discussion with a request to apply for funding that would cover the cost of employing a person to conduct the survey. Council members were split over how the survey would be rolled out, with Mayor Mary Campbell suggesting a simple question on the tax bill to solve the dilemma. “This is how much of your tax dollars go towards recreation; how and where would you like to see them spent,” she offered. Blimkie was adamant the information be gathered in a survey, pointing out council needed the information right away in order to negotiate a 2014 agreement next year. She suggested a tax bill option would take too long and likely get lost. Coun. Aldene Styles concurred. The option of a conducting a survey was put forward by Styles at a public meeting in May. She said that while the motion was subsequently defeated in a vote by council, there was support from the public. “It was loud and clear that they wanted a survey to come out,” she said. “Itʼs simple and to the point.

we can call it a surcharge or charge for services outside of the township,” replied Blimkie. “You are going to pay for any services we have to buy on your behalf outside of the township.” Styles viewed the results in another way. “Once we get the results of the survey, we rule with the majority. If the majority want services in Arnprior, then we support Arnprior,” she said. “Itʼs not fair to have recreation levied across all properties,” Blimkie countered. “Letʼs have the survey and then we can decide what we are going to do with this debate later,” she added. “I suggest we do that before we embark on this survey,” Campbell said. “We still have to find out how many people use the service and we need to stress the importance of getting the sur-

veys back to us, because we are going to make the decision based on how this survey goes out,” said Coun. Brad Mcllquham. Asked why he objected to her approach, Mcllquham told Campbell, “Yours is set up in such a way as to go the way you want it to go. It is skewed in a certain direction. “Iʼm limiting the total amount we spend on recreation. Just how much of the total pie goes to services outside the township is up to the public to respond,” he said. “If someone wants their portion of the pie to go to Arnprior or Renfrew, I have no comment. Iʼll shut up. I am not trying to steer it any way, but I am trying to control our total recreation costs and create a level playing field. “We still need a survey so people can choose their different options.”

How council treats the survey information and how the

survey will be rolled out will be determined at a later date.

Do you use the service and do you want to support it? Then you get your numbers that way,” Styles added. “The problem with the survey is that the people that are passionate about this will respond and others will not,” Campbell pointed out. “There is going to be a disclaimer that failure to return the survey automatically defaults to support for either Arnprior or Renfrew,” Blimkie offered. “Why not default to McNab-Braeside?” Campbell inquired. “Maybe because we are going to decide at the end of this, that if they use the services they will pay for the services,” Blimkie responded. “Weʼve been down this road before. We canʼt put a levy on the tax bill,” Campbell interjected. “We wonʼt call it a levy,

Firefighters from four fire departments showed off their driving and safety skills Sept. 29 as the Renfrew Fire Department hosted a firetruck rodeo at Ma-Te-Way Park. When the last competitor made his way through the course for the third time, the scores were tallied up with Brian Kroes of the Laurentian Hills Fire Department declared the winner. Wes Thomson of the Renfrew department was second and Kirby Morrison of Horton third. Renfrew Fire Captain Peter Whelan, the main organizer of the event and the Renfrew departmentʼs training officer, explained the event is educational as well as a fun competition. “We stress safety,” he said. “Itʼs a driver training exercise. It gives them (firefighters) the opportunity to maneouvre the trucks in a controlled environment.” The drivers were timed over a six-minute course with several stations, losing points for knocking over pylons or not parking efficiently. They were judged on accuracy, adherence to safety practices and time. The Renfrew Department holds the rodeo every four or five years. “Itʼs our contribution to the mutual aid committee,” noted Whelan. All fire departments in Renfrew County are invited and although Whelan was disappointed more didnʼt respond, he was pleased with the enthusiasm shown by the participating firefighters from North Algona Wilberforce, Laurentian Hills and Horton. 36 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, October 11, 2012

EDUCATION

Your Community Newspaper

October off to a great start at SJHS Abby Hall Jaguar Journal

October is off to a great start here at St. JoseplhĘźs Catholic High School.Our annual Thanksgiving food drive kicked off at the beginning of last week. Non-perishable food items ďŹ lled the town square to the brim in a bid to win a friendly competition over who could bring in the most food. A donation was made to the Renfrew Food Bank over the Thanksgiving weekend to support those in need in our community. Orders for boxes of fresh Florida oranges and grapefruits are being taken now. To place your order, contact the school at 432-5846. The cost is $25 for a small box and $40 for a big box. The citrus

will arrive around the end of November. All proceeds from this fundraiser will go towards supporting the music program at St. JoeĘźs. The D.R. Team held a bake sale last Friday, one of many fundraisers that will support the annual mission trip to visit the people of the Dominican Republic. Members of this mission team bake their specialty cookies, brownies and other delicious desserts as a tasty way to raise money. The money will be used to purchase supplies for the trip in February. Parent-teacher interviews are approaching quickly. They will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 17 starting after school at 3 p.m. Students are reminded to ďŹ ll out their class information

forms for their parents. The senior boysĘź volleyball team travelled to Halifax for a tournament last weekend, and played very competitively before returning home. In basketball news, both the junior and senior girlsĘź teams defeated Fellowes High School last week with big wins. Both teams continue to practice hard in preparation for upcoming games and tournaments hosted at our school and around the county. Our school has now become very active online. Make sure to like us on Facebook, and then follow the link to our website. The media arts classes have been very busy activating new sections of the website and posting important information, so come and see what we have been up to.

October’s purple ribbon campaign focuses on child abuse prevention Family and ChildrenĘźs Services of Renfrew County is holding a Purple Ribbon child abuse awareness campaign in October. The campaign was launched in Pembroke Oct. 1, the ďŹ rst day of Child Abuse Prevention Month. In conjunction with the Ontario Association of ChildrenĘźs Aid Societies, local ofďŹ cials are working to educate the public about the prevention of child abuse and neglect. COMMUNITY RESPONSIBILITY

the public to understand their duty to protect kids. The Purple Ribbon Committee has arranged for various information booths to be set up throughout the county at popular businesses. The purpose of the displays is to provide the public additional access to information surrounding the prevention of

child abuse in their communities. Furthermore, the staff at Family and ChildrenĘźs Services is inviting members of the public and students at local schools to show their support by wearing the colour purple every Tuesday throughout this month.

CARD OF THANKS

It is impossible to find the words to describe our loss of Clare, and harder to express our sincere appreciation for the words of comfort and compassion that has been shown by the community, neighbours, and friends who supplied our family with food. As well as the staff and students of A.J. Charbonneau Public School, which Clare considered her second family. The entire staff of the Renfrew County School Board and the teachers that she met and worked with throughout the years. The Ladies of the Glasgow Women’s Institute, who looked after and served the luncheon, thank you, you are always there in the time of need. Thank you also to the White Lake Women’s Institute who prepared and served food between the visitations for our family. Also the many people from the W.I. District that came to pay their respects. At this time it makes us proud that Clare had touched so many people through the years. To Andre and his staff at Pilon Family Funeral Home for their professionalism in organizing Clare’s last farewell. Father Pat Blake for the funeral service in Calabogie. Thank you to all who gave flowers, masses and donations in memory of Clare. And last but not least, we can never show enough thanks to everyone who was there to support us and comfort us and continue to be there to help us move forward and past this sudden void that has been left in our lives. The Hamilton and Windle Families

In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather who passed away October 10, 1991. Time has a way of passing by, But love and memories never die. We miss your laughter, Your smile, your jokes that always make us laugh, You left us with beautiful memories, We will treasure through the years, We thank you for all the special times we shared together, You gave us happiness for many years. When we needed a helping hand, You were there for all of us. You took us wherever we needed to go, Never ever complaining, Our family chain is broken, And nothing is the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.
