Mayoral, reeve candidates share their visions for Renfrew Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News – Eight minutes of air time, one question each while on stage, and a chance to meet with the public afterwards.

That was the situation for the four mayoral and two reeve candidates during Renfrew’s all-candidates forum Oct. 8.

The mayoral candidates are current councillors Tom Anderson and Jim Miller, past candidate Callum Scott, and current Horton Mayor Don Eady. The candidates for reeve are long-time Reeve Audrey Green and Renfrew Warden Peter Emon, who is finishing his term as mayor in neighouring Greater Madawaska Township.

Before a crowd of more than 200 at the Renfrew Recreation Centre, the six candidates were the last to speak at the event attended by all 14 candidates for councillor and three candidates for school trustee.

The first of the mayoral candidates to speak was Anderson.

Tied to Renfrew with five generations of relatives, Anderson said he gets regular feedback from family, friends, work associates and the general public about council’s actions.

“I feel these links to the community give me an excellent insight as to

the pulse of the town,” said Anderson, who is seeking a fifth term as a council member.

Regarding criticisms that the town’s debt load is unacceptable and that the town is doing nothing about roads and sidewalks, the mayoral candidate was clear.

“This is a misunderstanding,” he said. “Yes, we have some debt. That debt is less than $12 million, which is at a low fixed rate and is being reduced by approximately $1 million a year.

“Our $12 million investment became $50 million in infrastructure improvements over the last few years due to cost-effective administrative management. We have state-of-the art water and wastewater treatment facilities that are essential to both industrial and residential development,” said Anderson.

He listed several examples of major road reconstruction, with similar work on Lisgar Avenue coming in 2015 at “minimal cost to the taxpayer.”

Meanwhile, Anderson said he’ll work to negotiate a settlement regarding financial issues between the town and Renfrew Industrial Commission “to move on in a positive manner toward attracting industry to Renfrew.”

ment and staff decisions and activities.

After sarcastically thanking Mayor Bill Ringrose for the town’s multi-million-dollar debt, he added, “We didn’t deserve it, we didn’t ask for it.”

He also said the Renfrew OPP detachment needs to leave. This is in keeping with the banner on his home that calls for a return to community policing.

“I have a plan to bring community policing back to town.

I have people ready to come from the colleges (at much lower salaries),” said Scott, who also recommended that Renfrew eliminate six-figure salaries for a few firefighters by switching to a volunteer fire department.

He also criticized the pubic works department’s grass-cutting and street sweeping practises, lack of weed-cutting in some parts of town, and salting of roads (indicating that sand is more environmentallyfriendly and reusable).

“If we’re going to the root of this problem, and start saving taxpayers’ money, there’s got to be tough love.”

is watching .. to see if some of my ideas come to fruition.

Because politicians, by nature, do take other people’s ideas and advance them. That’s the nature of the process.”

After hearing opinions while campaigning door-todoor and listening to the 14 candidates for councillor, Emon said local residents are saying they want transparency and change.

But want does change mean, said Emon.

Therefore, he said the primary focus of the newlyelected council is to determine its vision and what form that change should take.

“What you’re going to need around the (council) table is people who can build consensus,” said Emon, who has spoken during his campaign about his consensus-building abilities.

It sounds like Renfrew residents want more stability, “with more resources dedicat-

ed to what you have, and that means across all age groups,” added Emon.

Emon also referred to the lobbying he has done as a politician, such as support for more in-house paramedic visits with Renfrew County seniors in their homes, to strengthen the ability for seniors to stay in their own homes longer, without having to move to a longterm care facility.

See RACE FOR REEVE, page 5

CANDIDATES FOR REEVE

Peter Emon, the first of the two candidates for reeve to speak, focused on the need for partnerships and innovative thinking to help Renfrew move forward through the 21st century.

But first he thanked all candidates for putting their ideas and lives on the line.

“As a candidate, if I’m not successful, what I’ll be doing

“FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Whitewater Region has proudly received the keys to the latest addition of the Fire Services Fleet in Westmeath. The new $330,000 Tandem Axle Fire Truck Pumper Tanker was built by Eastway Emergency Vehicles in Carleton Place.

Left to right: Deputy Fire Chief Mike Moore, Fire Chief Wayne Heubner, Eastway President Neil Greene, Mayor Jim Labow, Deputy Mayor Izett McBride, Fire Committee Chair Councillor Cathy Regier, Councillor Allen Dick and Councillor Joey Trimm.”

R0012947957

He also promised to reintroduce the town’s Sports Wall of Fame and promote effective communication by expanding the town’s advertising and its role in social media.

Eady spoke about his 14 years on Horton council, including his current and single term as mayor, during which time Horton’s debt has been appreciably cut and reserves noticeably increased.

“Ladies and gentlemen, this evening is about you,” said Eady, arguing that a strong foundation must be established regarding how council and town staff operate for the betterment of the town.

He told the audience they need a council that is open, transparent and accountable.

Eady also said he’s aware of such concerns as high taxes, high water rates, the purchase of a new fire truck, high salaries among town employees and infrastructure needs.

Possible solutions to Renfrew’s future, said Eady, include team work with a lead role played by council, and working with other municipalities and organizations.

“By working together, we can cut costs. We can look at the possibility of joint tenders, advertising, personnel, equipment purchases. That’s just to name a few,” said Eady.

Meanwhile, Eady says, “We need to develop the attitude of welcome to Renfrew and how can we help you. Together, we can make Renfrew the envy of

the Ottawa Valley.”

Leaning on his business experiences that has focused on quality engineering and economic development, Coun.

Miller articulated about the need for a grander vision for economic development for the town, as outlined in a twopage pamphlet distributed at the all-candidates forum.

Driving factors behind his plan for economic development, said Miller, include marketing as well as providing incentives, social networking and attendance at trade shows.

“It’s not a wish list, these are things I’ve done for 30 years in all parts of North America,” said Miller.

Having left Renfrew in 1959 to join the navy, he returned to Renfrew in 2001.

Meanwhile, Miller said the town motto of Let it Prosper isn’t happening.

“You have to make it prosper,” said Miller. “You have to get out and market.”

Mainly economic involvement must include working together, putting ideas together, such as the new Community Improvement Plan being developed in town.

“As your leader … with experience, with knowledge, and with the ability to do what I have said I will do … we can grow this town,” said Miller, citing the recent invitation by himself and former USS Steel engineer Shawn Panesar, and the subsequent arrival of Nova Pole Industries.

Callum Scott, a previous and unsuccessful candidate for mayor, was by far the most vocal, lambasting town manage-

News – Just like the seating arrangement, the reeve and mayoral candidates were in the front row, but the candidates for councillor were secondary-row participants in Renfrew’s all-candidates forum.

In a no-win situation, the Renfrew and District University Women’s Club tried to accommodate all candidates at the Renfrew Recreation Centre Oct. 8, which meant trying to provide sufficient air time for the 23 present candidates.

This number consisted of four candidates for mayor, two for reeve, 14 for five councillor positions, and three trustee candidates.

With so many voices to be heard, organizers provided four minutes of introductory comments for each councillor and trustee candidate, and longer for the reeve and mayoral candidates.

But when it came time for written questions submitted from the audience to the organizers, only six questions were asked – one each for those in the races for mayor and reeve. This allowed the event, which was scheduled to last two and a half hours, to end 15 minutes early.

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, October 16, 2014 3

Continued from page 3

Seated in the front row, on stage, were mayoral candidates Tom Anderson, Don Eady, Jim Miller and Callum Scott, reeve candidates Peter Emon and Audrey Green, and English public school trustee candidates Susan Humphries and John Scott.

Humphries, Scott and Andre Yonkeu, who is seeking a berth on the French public school board, spoke first, before the councillor-candidates had their turn.

Without answers to questions to distinguish one candidate from another, the audience seemed to respond most positively to the presentations of Doug Brookes, Mike Coulas, Andrews Evans, Gregory Lewis, Tom Sidney and Kate Windle.

Brookes said more interaction is needed between the town and residents to improve recycling and increase the possibility of more provincial seed money each year, especially with phase five of the landfill site fast approaching.

If elected, he said he would push for more recorded votes at council meetings to increase accountability.

“Hello, Renfrew,” said Coulas to start his introductory remarks. “I am not a public speaker, but I can speak, if elected, and speak I will.”

A local businessman for about 40 years, he said council needs more businesspeople, “with a similar mindset that is required to manage the town’s financial balance sheet. We need to do business with a keen appreciation for income and expense.”

In a few days, he said the town will have a

new mayor and many new councillors. “This may not fix everything right away, but it’s a great, necessary start.”

Like any corporation, the town needs to be managed like a business and the ratepayers – as shareholders, per se – have “a chance to change it up,” said Coulas.

“Elect a mayor and council that will deliver what you pay good money for.”

Increasing water and hydro rates need to become a focal point of the next council, said Coulas. He also said many street repairs are needed despite the lack of a money tree at town hall, noting that money needs to be generated in other ways, while not saying what those ways might be.

Lewis told the audience there are many ways for the town to save money while still maintaining services, and that “everyone should be heard, not just a selected few,” to eliminate a closed-door mentality.

Asked by why he’s seeking a second term on council, Evans said, “The answer is simple.

I really love Renfrew, and I wish to continue committing my time and efforts to be a very dedicated and accessible councillor.”

His several goals for the next term include supporting a council that is more fiscally responsible, continuing road repairs, establishing a better relationship with the Renfrew Industrial Commission, and lobbying for recorded votes for all new bylaws.

Sidney was among the candidates who said the town needs more accountability, transparency, leadership and more opportunity to be heard by town council and staff.

Budgets and infrastructure are important is-

sues, but Sidney said what needs more addressing is the loss of faith in the community.

If elected, Sidney said he’s inexperienced in municipal politics, but he said he’s educated, honest and loyal to this town. “And by having an opportunity to represent you is actually an opportunity to recognize my family, my future … and an opportunity for everyone to stand up and say, ‘you know what, nothing changes if nothing changes, and Renfrew needs to change.’”

Windle, a two-time councillor, spoke about her vision for the town, a vision that includes a restored relationship with the Renfrew Industrial Commission, a growing health-services village, a coalition of the Renfrew Archives, NHA-NHL Birthplace Museum and McDougall Mill Museum to create a tourism-related website, and improved infrastructure.

As a two-time councillor with more than 45 years as a successful entrepreneur, she said, “I know I can and do work for the greater good.

Kate Windle is the last name on the council list.

Vote for me first and last shall be first.”

CRITICAL OF COUNCIL

Other candidates, particularly Zenaida Raboy and Mila Barnamova, denounced the current council’s performance over the past four years.

“If elected, your priority will be my priority,” said Barnamova, a Soviet native with a masters degree in civil engineering, who said water rates and taxes are too high. She said the town also needs more road and sidewalk repairs. ” See RENFREW COUNCIL, page 6

Race for reeve Continued from page 2

Local economic development is not simple, but an air of co-operation is needed to facilitate such development, said Emon.

Emon’s tone was very conversational in his introductory remarks, while Audrey Green was decidedly more upbeat. “What an honour to be here AGAIN, to ask for your support, and indeed to have the warden of the Renfrew reeve candidates Audrey county running for the reeve’s seat against me,�

Green and Peter Emon. said Green, referring to her nearly 30 years on council and numerous years as the town representative on county council.

Green referred to her roles on council as councillor, mayor for 13 years and reeve.

After losing the mayoral race in 1998, she came back to be elected reeve. “I like to refer to myself as re-cycled, and I’m still here,� said the candidate, now in her 80s, before a decidedly over-50 audience. “I have served you to

the best of my ability. Your problems were dealt with as quickly as possible, and you have always received an answer from me, whether it was good or not.�

TEAM WORK

She also referred to the importance of team work on council, citing the example of support from council, the Renfrew Industrial Commission and Home Hardware to facilitate local financial support for the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village.

In the face of criticisms that Renfrew has no industry, Green listed 13 larger companies.

These included Deslaurier Custom Cabinets, Bonnechere Manor and Renfrew Victoria Hospital, and many, small companies that help make the town so viable.

At the same time, she said partnerships can be developed with fellow municipalities to share purchasing power and even staff.

Renfrew council Continued from page 4

She also bemoaned the fact that seven town employees received salaries last year of $100,000 or more, as she criticized council, to chuckles from the crowd, for “doing a rotten and lousy job with taxpayers’ money.” She was also critical of the lack of a welcoming attitude towards business.

One of nine candidates seeking a first term on council, Jeff Taylor said he’s all about partnerships, trust and solutions.

After complaining so much about town issues in recent years, Taylor said it became time to do something about it. Now, if elected, he said he won’t make promises, but will ask tough questions, “and dig for informative answers, because I’m known for standing up for what I think is right.”

He also said the town needs growth to survive and that too many projects have been turned down because of concerns over noise and traffic flow.

“So, if council uses that excuse to turn down opportunity, that’s a council that has blinders on.”

He also indicated that every major department of the town requires review, to ensure proper and efficient use of staff and taxpayer dollars.

He also said new subdivisions need to include play structures for children.

Candidate Robert Debeau criticized the lack of adequate roads and sidewalks and lack of proper wheelchair access to several downtown businesses, including one bank. He said the millennium trail also needs

work, with necessary culling of dead trees, more garbage containers and a volunteer clean-up crew to deal with dumping near the trail.

Noting the need for more council transparency, he suggested the publication of a semi-annual progress report by council.

Several candidates referred to the need for more road repairs, among them Donna Falcon, who says Renfrew’s own self-rating of roads was only 56 per cent for roads in good to very good condition, compared to 75 per cent in very good condition in Petawawa.

This type of statistic does not attract new growth, she said.

The town is fortunate to have such active bodies as the BIA, chamber of commerce and Renfrew Industrial Commission, but Falcon says the relationship with those organizations has not always been smooth, sometimes resulting in unnecessary legal fees.

“What matters is that new jobs are created … and we become a vibrant, growing and sought-after community,” said Falcon. In reference to the list of seven town employees, she also said the town needs to be a better watchdog, controlling overtime, so fewer employees make more than $100,000.

‘RIGHT COMBINATION’

“I believe, with the right combination of people, with the right skills in place, we can make positive change,” said businesswoman and candidate Arlene Jamieson.

“I have always felt that we need more business-likeminded people sitting in those positions, making those decisions.

6 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, October 16, 2014

After all, businesspeople have the most to lose, and we will work the hardest.”

After a year of closely scrutinizing town operations, Jamieson said too much time and energy have been lost while fighting with the very people the town should be working with. She said deception and lack of communication have served to bring Renfrew’s “progress and growth to a halt.”

Conversely, she says Renfrew has too much to offer, including a great hospital, safe areas to play, exceptional schools and the proximity of the Trans Canada Highway.

“Right now, I cannot tell you what I can and cannot change, because I don’t know that yet.” But, if elected, she said, she will get that information because she is tenacious and resourceful.

In the face of criticisms that not enough road work is done, current council members Clint McWhirter and Bill Ringrose both spoke about the extensive road work that has been done in recent years.

If re-elected, McWhirter said he’ll continue to “diligently watch our tax dollars, as we are all in this together.

As a fellow taxpayer and resident, this is my town too.”

Similarly, Ringrose spoke about the effective use of local tax dollars, to help support successful physician recruitment through the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village in recent years.

After 17 years of council experience, Ringrose also said there’s much to be thankful for in Renfrew before thinking about electing “a balanced team, a team of new and experienced people.”

Quoting Jimmy Dean, LeGris added, “I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I adjust my sails to always reach my destination.�

Dirk Rook thanked the people in attendance for showing interest and encouraged them to get out and vote.

He said, as is the

government,� Quilty added.

Hopefully, they’ll loosen some strings and give something for infrastructure in 2015, Quilty said.

He also said recycling must improve. “In 2012, we were 14th out of 17 (Renfrew County) municipalities, three from the bottom. “And somewhere down the line, I don’t know when, I don’t know how, but we have to stop burying our waste,� which will affect future generations, he added.

Quilty would also like to see a walk-in health clinic established at Renfrew Victoria Hospital.

Neighbouring municipalities should also share their resources with each other to cut costs, he added.

Coun. Robert Dick did not attend due to a conflicting event, but left correspondence with moderator Lynn Clelland. “Admaston-Bromley is a great place to live. The rural township mixed with agri-

culture has good benefits for everybody, and (I) would like to see that carry on,�

Dick said in his message. “There are a lot of things coming up with the township this upcoming term. I would like to be a part of the team that addresses these issues.�

The candidates also fielded questions on the Canada East Pipeline. None of the candidates expressed strong

resistance to the pipeline that will run through Renfrew county and on to New Brunswick.

The crowd also heard from Renfrew County District School Board trustee candidates James Dobson and David Shields.

Andre Yonkeu, running for the French public school board, also addressed the audience.

case in any municipality, setting and staying with the budget is a main thing. “In 2006 our government funding was $844,000. This year, it was down to $595,700,� the current councillor said.

That is a difference that has to be made up by the ratepayers, he said. “Once (council) sets that budget, we have to make it work.�

Despite the many challenges, Rook said he continues to enjoy his time on council. “I hope to be a part of next council, too,� the veteran municipal politician added.

A past chair of the Admaston-Bromley Police Services Board, Michael Quilty said it is a very difficult road for Admaston-Bromley council. “We are dealing with a provincial government that is $13 million in the hole, so there is going to be no handouts,� he said. “If we’re going to do anything, we are going to have to work with the federal

News - Five men are running for council spots in Admaston-Bromley. There is only room for four at the council table.

Ratepayers heard their opinions at the all-candidates forum Oct. 8 in the Admaston Public School gymnasium.

Robert Hall is looking for a return to politics. He was deputy reeve for 10 years in Horton Township. “During that time, I have experienced all there is about the township, how money is spent, how it’s generated, costs, revenues and how all the departments work,�

Hall said.

He said all elected officials must work together with staff, volunteers and the various volunteer groups that operate within the township.

Hall has followed the issues over the past four years, and knows challenges lie ahead.

He looks forward to supporting the

mayor as he or she represents the township at the county and provincial levels.

Kevin LeGris is making his first run at municipal politics. He thought about running four years ago.

If elected, LeGris said he will “make myself available to listen to the concerns of all the residents and ratepayers of Admaston-Bromley, and to bring those concerns to the council table.�

The youngest candidate at age 33 added, “I promise to do my very best to resolve those concerns, and to keep you informed along the way.�

More jails not the answer

Opinion – Business is booming in Ontario jails, but it’s the kind of expansion nobody wants.

Last week, we published the final instalment of our four-part series about recidivism – when previously convicted criminals reoffend – in Ontario and the state of our correctional system.

The numbers tell a disturbing tale. We discovered an odd statistical trend: despite the fact that Canada’s crime rate has been steadily declining over the past decade – this year we’re at a level not seen since 1969 – the number of federally incarcerated offenders hit a record high in 2013.

Overcrowding is the new reality in Canadian prisons, with double-bunking prisoners required in 20 per cent of all federal prison cells.

Also on the upswing is the rising cost of Canada’s prison system: the annual price per offender is $200,000 for females and $117,000 for males in federal penitentiaries.

Meanwhile, the cost of community supervision of offenders hovers around $35,000 per year.

Critics of the federal government say we

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Let’s keep Farrell’s Landing as an historical site To the editor: Opinion - I am Mae Craig from Castleford in Horton Township. I need your help in keeping Farrell’s Landing, the beginning of the Opeongo Road as an historical site.

On May 26, 1851 Horton Township council adopted a bylaw to build a road across Horton Township starting at the Old Wharf at Farrell’s Landing on the Ottawa River, opposite this site.

This road would facilitate travel for early settlers to the interior.

It became known as the Ottawa and Opeongo Colonization Road and extended about 78 miles through Renfrew County and ending at Madawaska.

A cairn was erected by the Ministry of Culture and Communications, Renfrew County Council, Horton Township council and Interested Citizens, including members of the Castl-

The Opeongo Road cairn stands along the River Road in Castleford across from Farrell’s Landing Road, just a short distance north of Castleford Road.

At our Oct. 1 Horton Township all-candidates meeting at the Horton community hall all candidates said they wanted to keep Farrell’s Landing Road. No one said they wanted to sell or give it away.

Some members of Horton council want to give away or sell Farrell’s Landing where many of our ancestors arrived by steamboat and made their way up along the Opeongo Road/Trail to settle in the Renfrew, Ferguslea, Dacre, Esmond, Clontarf, Brudenell and up to Barry’s Bay areas.

are following the failed example of the United States that started during the 1980s, with a massive push for prison construction and tougher sentences.

Three decades later, our southern neighbours, a country with 700 of every 100,000 people incarcerated, are reconsidering their strategy and are now starting to spend more tax dollars on rehabilitation and support programs instead of prison construction. We need to follow their example.

With so many critics – both academic and political – calling into question the federal government’s tough-on-crime approach, with the introduction of mandatory minimums and stiffer sentences, what is the government’s rationale for its push for prison construction?

During the past two months we repeatedly called and emailed the office of Steven Blaney, the federal minister for public safety, with no response.

If the Conservatives insist on pushing forward with an irrational correctional strategy, one that will eventually cost us dearly financially, perhaps the only convincing argument must be delivered at the ballot box.

Revisit the pool situation, please To the editor: Opinion - Being relatively new to the area, I am hoping the swimming pool situation can be clarified.

I have been recently informed that the local pool committee suggested a swimming pool with all the bells and whistles.

At a cost of $16 million, simply put, marvellous, but totally out of reach.

Council made the correct decision in not approving this venture, with a town the size of 8,500, who needs the bells and whistles.

All we ask is a basic pool for our children.

I hope our new appointees will revisit this issue, and perhaps a new pool committee will be appointed with a more realistic view.

Businesses, groups, clubs and individuals show their support for the 2014 Sunshine Coach Reach for the Rainbow Telethon.

This year’s event runs from 2 to 8 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 26 in the Grant Gymnasium at Renfrew Collegiate Institute. You can show up onsite or call 613-432-7289 on telethon day to pledge your support.

Community rallying behind Sunshine Coach Friends of the Disabled

News - For almost three decades, 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 fleet of 11 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 every day.

The current edition of the telethon will take place on Sunday, Oct. 26 between the hours of 2 and 8 p.m. and will be telecast live over Cogeco Channel 22 as well as myFM between 4 and 6 p.m. and Valley Heritage

Radio for the final two hours.

Thanks to the efforts of the committed volunteers, all of the proceeds of the Sunshine Coach Telethon will go directly to help defray the operating expenses of the service.

The public is most cordially invited to drop in to the Grant Gymnasium at Renfrew Collegiate on the day of the telethon to enjoy the continuous live entertainment featuring Mixed Nuts along with a great line up of talented local performers.

The broadcast will be played in real time on two large projection screens.

As in the past, 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. The best part is that admission to the auditorium is free!

Everyone who comes down to the telethon will be invited to enter their name in a free draw for a valuable door prize and while there, encouraged to make a pledge in person.

Alternatively, you can call in your pledge

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.

Admaston-Bromley mayoral candidates seek voter support peter.clark@metroland.com

News - A crowd of about 125 people gathered in the Admaston Public School gymnasium for Admaston-Bromley Township’s all-candidates forum Oct. 7.

The event was hosted by the Balsam HillHorton Women’s Institute and moderated by Lynn Clelland.

The crowd heard from all three mayoral candidates, incumbent Raye-Anne Briscoe, current Coun. Michael Donohue and former councillor Jack Kelly.

All are seeking the public’s support in the municipal election Oct. 27.

It has been an privilege to serve the community as mayor since 2000, Briscoe said. “The support that you continue to offer, and the spirit of community that you share with yourself and your neighbours is unique,� she said. “As mayor, the skills and ideas one possesses or strides for require daily tender loving care, skills of listening, taking advice, (and) more importantly, seeking advice, valuating and evaluating feedback.�

Briscoe said she is very excited about the next term and sees opportunity with the experience and skill set of the next council. “2015 beckons with new challenges and new

opportunities,� she added. “Ladies and gentlemen, as mayor and with your help, together we can, and will, deliver.�

In an era when talk is often about a lack of voter turnout, Michael Donohue said it was refreshing to see such a large turnout.

Donohue acknowledged all candidates for all positions for putting their names up to take on the task. “It’s no easy feat to put yourself in front of your community. Bear in mind, this is an incredibly large hiring committee that we are all putting ourselves in front of. It is not a simple thing to do.�

Donohue feels a deep sense of the community from his work on a number of committees, and how to understand working in a team environment. “I am proud of the accomplishments of the last four years and there is no letting up,� DonoPETER CLARK/METROLAND hue said. “As your mayor, I’ll have a laser fo- Mayoralty candidates Jack Kelly, left, Michael Donohue and Raye-Anne Briscoe listen to a cus on delivering the services we require, while question at the Admaston-Bromley all-candidates forum. finding the means to do it more efficiently.

Thankfully, we also have staff that are very accomplished at fact-finding efficiencies.�

Erosion of the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund and the dramatic increases coming in policing costs are two key issues, said Donohue.

Fall always created special smells for young Mary Mary Cook Mary Cook’s Memories

Lifestyle – My older and much wiser sister Audrey said it was all in my head.

I had discussed it with her at length one Saturday while we were doing our weekly chores.

That morning we were upstairs changing beds, dusting the floor with the rag mop, and wiping the windowsills with a damp cloth.

It was a time I cherished because it meant I had my sister all to myself, even if she was in a hurry to get finished so that she could visit with her best friend Iva on the next farm.

And so I asked her again. “Audrey, why does fall smell different than other times of the year?”

That’s when she told me it was all in my head. I certainly didn’t want to argue with my sister. After all, she was much older than I was, and as far as I was concerned was just about the smartest girl in all of Renfrew County!

So I decided I would not mention it again.

I would just go on believing in my heart that fall smelled differently from any other time of the year.

All I had to do was stand at the back door, put my head outside and breathe deeply.

The big maple tree had shed all its leaves, and I could smell them. No one could convince

me that there was no smell from them…it was a mixture of damp ground and dried leaves.

I would fill my nostrils with the scent, and marvel, and I would wonder if I was the only one who noticed there was a difference between the smells of summer and fall.

The frost would come and I knew the smell outside would change again.

I knew without a doubt that the smoke from the cook stove was different once the colder weather came.

At no other time of the year did I notice the wonderful smell of burning logs as I watched the smoke curl above the roof of the house. And I would wonder why.

When I went into the barns at night, they certainly didn’t smell like they did in the heat of the summer.

The cows gave off a warmth and it filled the barn, and the aroma of the hay from the loft wafted down.

Even the straw in each stall had what I called a cold weather smell.

When I mentioned this to my sister Audrey, she said it was just my imagination playing tricks on me…all in my head, she said.

The inside of our house smelled different too.

The windows were shut tight, and trapped inside were the smells of gum rubbers, propped

against the woodbox beside the Findlay Oval, and the musty smell of winter coats hanging at the back door.

And I could smell wool. Everywhere there was wool…in the hats and mitts at the ready for the winter in a basket under the bake table, there was wool.

Certainly, these things were nowhere to be seen in the summer! So how could my sister Audrey say it was all in my head? I would wonder why she too didn’t notice the smell of fall.

By the time we were well into October, Mother would have put out the braided rugs that had spent the summer rolled up in layers of the Renfrew Mercury and kept under our beds.

They too had the smell of fall on them.

There would be the faint aroma of wool and from the papers, and they would add to that special tinge to my nose that told me the season had changed…the smells of summer were gone, and the smells of fall were around me.

By that time of year, our summer clothes would be changed to warmer skirts and sweaters.

They had been packed away in a trunk over

the hot weather, with hands full of mothballs scattered between the layers. It mattered not how long.

Mother hung each piece out on the clothesline, she was never able to completely get rid of the smell of the mothballs. They too had the smell of fall.

So, it mattered not how much my older and wiser sister Audrey said it was all in my head.

I knew without a doubt, this time of year there was a special smell all around me. It came in gusts outside, and hung inside our old log house, and stayed in my nostrils, bringing me a special feeling of warmth and contentment.

At that young age, I decided it was my favourite time of the year. There was no doubt about it.

Fall had come at last…hadn’t my nose told me so?

Hartwig, who won $15 million in a lottery last fall but shocked big-city reporters by delaying picking up his winnings until after a planned elkhunting trip.

From there, the cast romps through scene after scene drawn from modern Valley life. We meet seasonally employed local contractors who have other responsibilities in winter such as watching their wives play hockey and doing childcare. We see the bonds of matrimony strained at the local curling club. The show lampoons smart phones, cheap imported junk and other so-called conveniences of modern life, and even takes us to Blues Tunes in Wilno 100 years from now.

It includes a rap number called “Don’t Get My Valley Up!” To promote the show, the company has made a YouTube video based on this number.

Tickets, including a fullcourse, Ottawa Valley-style roast beef dinner, cost $44 plus HST and are available from Stone Fence Theatre on its website, www.stonefence. ca, or from the box office: 613-628-6600 or, toll-free, 1866-310-1004.

Community - The Ottawa Valley’s theatre company – Stone Fence Theatre – is coming to Renfrew for performances of its original hit musical comedy G’day, We’re from the Valley, EH! on Oct. 26 and Nov. 1. The show is a collection of humorous songs and sketches that celebrate the joys of rural living and make a strong case for it.

The shows are being held at the Royal Canadian Legion in Renfrew, where the company last performed six years ago.

On Oct. 26, there will be a Sunday dinner show at 1 p.m., and on Nov. 1, there will be a Saturday supper show at 6 p.m.

The show was written last winter by company producer Ish Theilheimer with the collaboration of a number of crew members, especially the show’s director, Chantal ElieSernoskie.

“The show is kind of like Corner Gas meets Monty Python meets Second City,” says Elie-Sernoskie, a graduate of the Ryerson University theatre arts program. She grew up in

Embrun and lives in Barry’s Bay. “It’s a lot of fun, and we’ve got a superb cast.”

“I really like the collaborative element of our company,” says Theilheimer. “We’re not afraid to bash ideas around and take chances. Sometimes they work well.”

G’day, We’re from the Valley, EH! consists of comic sketches and songs about modern Ottawa Valley and rural life. The show’s 10 cast members play a variety of characters with a recurring theme, that contrary to stereotype, rural life has a lot to offer younger adults, as well as older ones.

“While the show features lots of traditional music, our crew has also taken some musical chances, including blues, rock and even a rap number,” says Theilheimer.

“What’s great is how well our traditionally-minded audience responded at shows throughout the summer. They proved the point of the show – that Valley people have a canny and sophisticated view of the world outsiders don’t always get.”

The show begins with the story of Killaloe’s Delmer

tom anderson for mayor

Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

News - Check the voters list ahead of time, and make sure your name is there before you go to vote Oct. 27.

Those are words of advice from Admaston-Bromley.

The township, as do all Ontario municipalities, receives a preliminary voters list from the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation.

The Ontario not-for-profit corporation, which provides property assessments, is required under Ontario’s Municipal Elections Act to give municipalities preliminary lists in election years.

Turns out, the one returned to Admaston-Bromley was riddled with mistakes. “There are a disturbing number of errors,� Coun. Michael Donohue said.

He noted that people do pass away, students finish school and move away, etc.

What Coun. Donohue did find particularly curious was an article in the Ottawa Citizen with a quote from MPAC director of municipal relations Arthur Anderson which said he hadn’t heard about a higher number of concerns from Ottawa or any other municipality this year. “We have experienced, with our voters list, some issues,� Donohue said.

Clerk-treasurer Annette Louis and predecessor Bev Briscoe went through the township’s voters list and made six pages of changes, and sent the list off to MPAC Aug. 15 or 16.

She got a response back around Sept. 1 and was told, MPAC didn’t

have time to make these changes. “Why did I spend the time going through it, and looking at it. I said, what do I tell my candidates when I say here’s the voters list. Yes I looked at it. It’s basically the same as it was before,� an exasperated Louis said.

She was told, when you send the changes at the end of the election, then we (MPAC) have four years to make the changes. But, a lot of the uncorrected changes were still there from 2010, Louis added.

A week later, Louis received an email to notify her that MPAC would be putting on a webinar on what to do with changes to the voters list.

Louis signed up, and learned that lettered codes must be put with each change.

She was told, if you don’t code your changes, the MPAC simply puts the names back in. “There were no codes before,�

Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe noted.

She said they probably got overwhelmed, realized they had an emergency, and came up with a brand new system with codes and downloaded it all on the municipalities. “MPAC looks better. We absorb the costs, and of course, we absorb the mistakes, too,� the mayor said.

Added Donohue, “They are saying the normal means of doing this after the election is we have four years. “Why are you sending out a preliminary list and then giving us two weeks to send you changes if you know that it is not going to be possible to accommodate the change?� he added of MPAC. “Check to make sure your name is on the voters list prior to going to the poll,� Donohue stressed.

Bridges to Better Business Oct. 24 News - Enterprise Renfrew County will host the 2014 Bridges to Better Business event under the theme of Get More LIFE Out of Your Business.

The Friday, Oct. 24 seminar takes place at the Best Western Pembroke Inn & Conference Centre from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The overall premise is to find savings in staffing and supplies being expended by all possible partner municipalities that are within a forty five minute drive of Renfrew. The community and councils should be encouraged by the positive cooperative efforts of the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village (RAHSV) and open the discussion for the following ideas. I feel if this potential group can make positive strides and demonstrates leadership on the concept of shared services and reduced costs this model might then be slowly expanded to the other lower tier municipalities in whole or in part and then to the County of Renfrew and then to the 103 municipalities who form the Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus.

From left are hospital president and CEO Randy Penney, Dr. George Hermanson, Barbara Symington, Keanan Hunt, Fernandez, nurses Hanniman and Walker, vice-president of patient care Chris Ferguson, Marg Tubman, board chairman Andy Boldt, Richard Lester, Catherine O’Neil, Sandi Heins, RVH chief of staff Dr. Steve Radke, and Barbara Westgarth.

Renfrew Victoria Hospital recognized for patient-safety eduction initiative Renfrew Victoria Hospital

News - Renfrew Victoria Hospital is one of only a few organizations being recognized on a national level for improvements made in patient safety and quality improvement practices, experiences and outcomes for its patients, residents and clients.

In a news release from the Canadian Patient Safety Institute, chief executive officer Hugh MacLeod says the RVH’s “commitment to foster a culture of patient safety is truly a model for many organizations across our country.”

RVH A LEADING HOSPITAL

Patient safety is one of the key values of RVH, and ensures the ongoing promotion and endorsement of best practices, indicated hospital board chairman Andy Boldt.

“Patient care and safety is paramount to everyone at RVH,” said Boldt.

“This award is yet another testimony to the dedication of the entire RVH

organization to continuous improvement and innovation,” Boldt added.

“The board is extremely proud of RVH being recognized as a leading hospital in Canada.”

Frontline nurses Charlene Hanniman and Cindy Walker are Patient Safety Education Program (PSEPCanada) trainers who have demonstrated best practices in patient safety and quality improvement work at Renfrew Victoria Hospital, based on the PSEPCanada model.

“I would like to congratulate Chris, Charlene, Cindy and all of our staff and physicians for a job well done,” said hospital president and CEO Randy Penney.

“Patient safety is extremely important to our organization and this external recognition from such a prestigious organization as the CPSI is indeed an honour.”

PATIENT SAFETY EDUCATION AWARD

At the hospital’s board of directors meeting in

14 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, October 16, 2014

September, the pair was presented with the Innovations in Patient Safety Education Award by patient safety improvement lead Joan Fernandez and on behalf of the CPSI. “It is a real privilege to be able to present this award to RVH,” said Fernandez.

“You are a great example of what can be done to improve patient safety within a small organization and other service providers are going to be looking to you for advice and guidance in the future.”

GOOD SAFETY PRACTICES

“They have done an amazing job of taking the lead and rolling out the safety practices across six of our different departments,” said Chris Ferguson, RVH’s vice-president of patient care services, noting that their efforts put the hospital well on the path to exemplary accreditation results last fall.

“The kind of work that RVH is doing in the area of frontline mobilization

around patient safety and quality improvement has taken vision, leadership and I am certain a determination to navigate through many competing priorities,” commented Abigail Hain, CPSI’s director of education.

“The leadership team at RVH has clearly ignited a shared vision from the clinicians who are doing the daily work caring for your community to the Board,” Hain added.

“Safety is a quadrant in the RVH quality framework, and we truly commit to providing high-quality, safe, and timely patient care,” said Hanniman, who is also nurse manager of the continuing care unit.

“Our training from CPSI has been a fundamental part of this commitment because RVH has developed a culture of safety that is endorsed and supported throughout the organization,” The other two recipients of this year’s award are the Canadian Forces Medical Services and the Central Regional Authority in Newfoundland.

Bishop Water ZERO VOC also means ZERO smell!

Technologies with helping Perth clean up Tay River News - Bishop Water Technologies Inc. is collaborating with the Town of Perth to help clean up its river.

The company, which moved its headquarters from Eganville to Renfrew in September, is leading a design-build contract for the Town of Perth’s water treatment plant residuals facility.

The goal is to reduce the amount of solids that enter the Tay River. Perth’s old system was discharging up to 2,000 mg of solids per litre per day into the river.

Bishop Water Technology says its treatment process, which uses the Geotube system, will reduce that amount to less than 15 mg of solids per litre per day.

This would ensure that more than 300 dry metric tons of solids will be diverted from the Tay River per year.

The Geotube dewatering solution works in three stages.

As sludge in pumped into the tube, it is mixed with a polymer that separates solids from the liquid. Filtered effluent flows through a dual filament polypropylene fabric, keeping solids trapped inside the container. Filtrate can then be directed to a lagoon

We’re pleased to offer a low-cost, simple solution that will help Perth have cleaner water.

or wastewater treatment facility.

The remaining solids retain up to 100 per cent of chemicals and metals. During consolidation (of two to 12 months), solids decrease due to further dewatering and composting. Remaining sludge can be used in landfills or in topsoil applications.

“The Geotube system will cost just below $1.25 million, in comparison to the alternative system, which was estimated to cost more than $7 million,” says Bishop Water Technologies CEO Kevin Bossy.

“We’re pleased to offer a low-cost, simple solution that will help Perth have cleaner water. The Geotube is a great option for small towns.”

With contracts signed in August 2014, the work is now underway in Perth.

Flexible work hours in workplace improve family life “Mobile and home-based employees maintained their performance, and experienced lower stress and less family/work conflict,” says Alison Konrad, a professor of organizational behaviour at The Ivey Business School, who co-authored the study.

PRODUCTIVE

“We also found flexible workers to be as equally productive as their in-office counterparts and far less likely to leave the company,”

Konrad added.

Thanks to new collaboration technologies and the proliferation of smartphones and tablets in the workplace, many employees now have the ability to work from anywhere at any time.

However, in order to capitalize on the benefits of transitioning to a flexible work environment, businesses will need more than technology; leaders must be fully committed and adapt their leadership styles.

Younger self-employed women may be focused on balance. About 60 per cent of women in small business are balancing work and family demands through self-employment. About 70 per cent of Canadian business women are married, and close to one third have children under 12 years. As a result, these business women are not as likely as their male counterparts to push their businesses to grow, but it’s a choice of lifestyle that works well.

Working women – finding new paths in business Any progress is a step forward for women and enriches those sectors which welcome these intrepid heroines.

And the traditionally female-dominated sectors are still well populated by women who want to make use of their desire to care for, educate, and help others.

Changing the rules of the game was certainly overdue. There is

It is not so long ago that medicine and engineering were all-male preserves, where the “invasion” of women was derided. In their own ways and in their own eras, women such as Elizabeth Blackwell, Irma Levasseur, and Lucille Teasdale defied prejudice to practice medicine in more than just subordinate roles.

These days, the healthcare system couldn’t do without women.

It’s a great feeling when people leave feeling fantastic about themselves after giving them an amazing hair colour and style.

WHAT PRODUCT/SERVICE KEEPS PEOPLE COMING BACK FOR MORE? The colour line is Goldwell, and even though it keeps its vibrancy, the regrowth needs to be covered every 3-6 weeks. For this, I do offer a “regrowth touch up” for a great price. We also offer a full line of hair care products!

MUST TRY PRODUCT/SERVICE: I highly recommend any colour or highlighting service. You’ll see the difference in your hair with this colour line!

It appears shiny and silky, and it leaves your hair in better condition than when you came in. Goldwell has a patented design that is infused with a concentrated conditioner in not only the colour, but the developer too. It has to be experienced to believe it.

Community - The Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention (CASP) announces the official launch of its new website at suicideprevention.ca.

The new website will enhance the national, not-for-profit organization in providing Canadians with important information about suicide prevention, intervention and postvention.

Suicide continues to be a major issue for Canadians. Approximately 11 people will end their lives by suicide today – and every day – in Canada.

Awareness is essential to changing this behavior.

CASP’s suicideprevention.ca plays a key role in delivering information and resources to those who need it most.

“CASP, with its many partners, has been the voice for suicide prevention for over 30 years,” says CASP President Renée Ouimet.

“Our members are committed to reducing suicide through collaborative work in the area of research, education, training and support, in the development of needed services to Canadians who struggle with suicide behaviour and suicide related grief.”

The CASP focus is on hope and resiliency. Together with its members, CASP aims to end the silence, ease the suffering, and prevent others from

GRAND ROUNDS RVH writer experiences her stories firsthand “I’ve retold so many incredible testimonials from patients who have experienced the same type of attentive care, but to witness it in person gave me a deeper understanding and appreciation for each and every aspect of RVH. From the housekeeping department right up to the physicians, everyone has the patients’ best interests as their number one priority,” says Gemma Robillard, writer and photographer, after a recent role reversal at RVH. Feeling really awful one morning with a pain under her lower right rib that wouldn’t go away, she had husband Monty take her to RVH. “Dr. Dave Johnson saw me in the ER and had me in ultrasound less than an hour after walking in the door,” says Robillard.

With her liver levels becoming dangerously low, she was quickly scheduled for an appointment with the surgeon the following day.

This was an unexpected turn of events for someone who is usually at the hospital with a pen and camera telling other

patients’ stories. Being young and healthy, not ever having any serious health issues or undergone surgery in the past, Robillard admits she was nervous about the entire process.

Back at home for the night, she was surprised to get a phone call from RVH Surgeon, Dr. Susan Krajewski.

“It may not seem like much, but knowing she took time out of her evening to check in on me instantly put my nerves at ease,” says Robillard.

Robillard feels her sudden firsthand experience as a patient confirmed what she already knew about RVH from years of interviewing patients, staff and physicians.

“It was incredible to see how well each of the areas of the hospital worked together. My experience is a true testament to how much the medical team goes the extra mile for their patients who need prompt care,” she states.

Robillard showed her support and appreciation with a gift to the CTA run/walk. “I choose to give a donation as a thank you to the community hospital that provides such amazing care,” she concludes.

500 outdated bylaws bite the dust These exemptions (for now) are bylaws passed in 2003, 2007 and 2010 for water and wastewater fees; bylaws for the collection of the BIA levy in 2000, 2003, 2006, 2009 and 2012; and 32 bylaws for setting municipal, school of county property tax rates from 1992 through 2012.

It’s not problematic to repeal them, since they’re still historical data, said Bulmer.

“Just to be on the safe side, we’ll pick these up the next time around.”

Doing this could facilitate dealing with any future appeals related to the levies, said Bulmer.

All of the repealed bylaws date from 1984 or more recently.

AREAS OF REPEALED BYLAWS

The repealed bylaws involve such issues as municipal borrowing, the Rat Pro Shop at MaTe-Way, tax exemptions, reduced hours of voting, advance polls, committee appointments, recreation services, gas taxes, outdated CUPE agreements, procedural bylaws, inspection of private sewage systems and lease agreements.

“When Reeve Green and I undertook the task to clean up the files, I had no idea it would

COUNCLLORS HAD TO KEEP THEIR SEATS

The town’s very first bylaw, passed in 1858, was among the pecularities, said Cole.

That bylaw, which dealt with rules and regulations for conducting meetings, stipulated that upon adjournment councillors should keep their seat until the reeve leaves his chair. The bylaw said the reeve (then head of council) should not take part in debate or vote unless there was a tie vote.

At that time, the reeve was entitled to state facts and give his reasons for voting.

Cole’s favourite bylaw, also passed in 1858, Ssaid all bread sold or offered for sale in Renfrew had to weigh two or four pounds for 12 hours after being baked.

And all bread not meeting those requirements was to be seized and forfeited to the municipal corporation.

“I enjoyed working on this project, and especially working with Audrey, and had a really great time, even while plowing through piles of paper,” said Cole in her summary report.

“I hope the effort proves to be of some benefit to the town.”

“As you can see,” said Green, “it was

R1221950109

News – Reeve Audrey Green and Coun.

Gail Cole undertook a long, sometimes tedious, sometimes humorous trip through town history that ran from winter through fall.

“This evening’s bylaw basically looked at our full registry of approximately 2,000 bylaws,” said clerk Kim Bulmer at the Sept. 22 meeting of Renfrew council.

The bylaws date back as far as the town’s beginnings in 1858.

“Many of those become redundant with the passage of time, so the exercise was to look through the bylaws and remove those that are no longer in effect and that have expired.”

By passing bylaw 53-2014, council has repealed bylaws that are considered anachronistic, redundant or ineffective.

There’s no absolute requirement to repeal these outdated bylaws, but staff says the exercise is very useful in helping to determine the town’s full range of regulatory and legislative policies.

“A lot of them are there, they’ve passed, they’re on the record book, but they no longer have any purpose,” said Bulmer, indicating several town bylaws were also repealed in the 1980s.

Following the identification of bylaws to repeal, the current town staff decided to post-

be so interesting,” Cole told council.

“There are many similarities in the way things were done then and the way they are done now, and there were many pecularities.”

Help for millions of migrating birds is on its way Lifestyle - Millions of birds die each year from encounters with window glass, a major factor in the decline of bird populations. The problem has finally reached both government and commercial ears.

To reduce the strikes, companies are developing friendly glass containing graphic elements clearly visible to birds in flight but not to humans.

An ultraviolet coating has been developed and applied to window glass that is invisible to human eyes but not to birds and also proved to be effective in reducing killing strikes.

Glass with silk-screen patterns in the glass has been introduced during construction and is more cost effective than after a building has been completed.

Buildings with glass exteriors can be fitted with patterned window film after construction as well and has proved to be valuable in reducing bird collisions.

The city of Toronto has developed building plans to include friendlyglass with all new construction.

At home, we can help in a number

SHALL WE GATHER AT THE CORN FIELD?

JIM FERGUSON Scene from the Hawk’s Eye of ways. Hang ribbon or Christmas ornaments in front of windows, inside or out, where the birds can see them will often avoid a crash.

Relocate bird feeders to an area far enough away from windows that the birds have time to make a detour away from the windows. If feeders are placed close enough to windows, birds may strike the glass but are not flying fast enough to do any damage.

And house plants may be placed in front of windows where they will receive more sunlight and also act as a deterrent and prevent collisions.

Something has to be done, and there is no better time to start than right now.

Thousands of European starlings are joining with equal numbers of red-winged blackbirds, common grackles and brown-headed cowbirds in local grain fields to feed in preparation for the fall migration. All of these species are gregarious and will gather in huge communal roosts in trees or on buildings or bridges.

The roosts usually remain in the same place for the year but may be moved to a more sheltered area for the winter.

Each morning the birds leave the roost and scatter across the fields in small groups to feed. As noon approaches they will again gather and settle in secondary roosts in trees near the feeding area. They scatter again for an afternoon of feeding.

Before sunset the birds furthest from the main roost begin to fly back.

They approach the roost along well established routes which are used day after day. Other small flocks will join the main flock and it will increase dramatically in size as

they near the main roost.

Roosts may vary in size from a few hundred to millions of birds. A roost in Louisiana was guestimated to contain over 70 million birds during the Christmas bird Count in 1997.

If you know of any starling primary roosts, please let us know where they are located.

MORE NESTING SITES

A large number of nesting burrows can be found in a bank along the shore of the head pond of the Madawaska River near Arnprior.

If you launch at Boeing and go upriver, the colony is visible along the shore. The site has two advantages, an abundant food source and protection from predators.

both coming and going. Larks are the first migrants to pass through in the spring, sometimes as early as the end of February. The length of their stay depends on weather conditions.

Their fall schedule is not so predictable and we may see them from the first week of October through to the middle of December.

Fox sparrows, dark-eyed juncos and white-crowned sparrows will stay for a short time, coming and going, and some may stay to nest or spend the winter, depending on weather conditions. Watch for these birds as they make their annual journey.

Be aware that our male goldfinches will be displaying their winter plumage and may look a bit dishevelled for a while. Barred owls are more visible without all the leaves, and Clarence Bos saw one on the Lochwinnoch Road.

If drivers and passengers across the country collaborate with police by taking these measures on the road all year long, they can greatly contribute towards Canada’s Road Safety Strategy 2015 and its vision of making Canada’s roads the safest in the world.

The OPP is also reminding everyone heading into cottage country this weekend to make trail and water safety important priorities.

On a positive note, road deaths associated with impaired driving, distracted driving and lack of occupant restraint, as well as marine and trail fatalities are all down from last year (2013). All data is year-to-date (as of Oct. 5, 2014) and applies to OPP jurisdictions: • impaired-related deaths: 34 in 2014, 59 in 2013; • distraction-related deaths: 45 in 2014, 68 in 2013;

place with 45 deaths. Lack of occupant restraint is third at 38 deaths, and impaired driving is in fourth position as a causal factor in 34 road deaths.

“Drivers have it within their means to end road deaths that fall into these four categories because these are not accidents that occur through no one’s wrongdoing,” said OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair, provincial commander for traffic safety and operational support.

“These collisions only occur when motorists drive aggressively, while impaired, while distracted or while they or their passengers are not buckled up. Regardless of the category, the tragic result is always related to poor driving behaviour. If drivers and passengers were more mindful of the critical role they play in changing these dangerous behaviours, the OPP and its policing partners would not have to stop them through these

News - The Big Four were contributing factors in 168 of the 216 road deaths investigated by the Ontario Provincial Police so far this year.

The Big Four refers to the four main causal factors in motor vehicle collision deaths: distracted driving, speeding, impaired driving and lack of occupant restraint.

These four factors are the leading causes of collision deaths throughout Canada.

For this reason, the OPP will be joining policing partners across the country for Operation Impact – a national road safety enforcement and education campaign endorsed by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police.

Speeding and distracted driving are in the lead of the four road death causal categories in OPP-investigated motor vehicle collisions. As of Oct. 5, 2014 speed was a factor in 51 of the 168 deaths and distracted driving is in second

Teenagers may send sexual photos of themselves to boyfriends or girlfriends, not realizing the material may be considered child pornography.

When photos continue to be passed and shared, it may be considered distributing child pornography. Parents are urged to discuss this with their children and discourage the practice.

Toastmasters International contest in Renfrew Saturday Randy Pitts Toastmasters

Community - This Saturday at 9 a.m, Toastmasters International division-level contest will be held in Renfrew at St. Joseph’s High School.

Toastmaster members enhance and develop skills in communication and leadership through participation in regular weekly meetings.

Programs are member-focused, offering the opportunity for continuous learning and improvement to pursue personal goals of success as communicators and future leaders.

The self-confidence and experience that members develop as effective communicators,

provides benefits in virtually all aspects of life, both professionally and personally.

In all, clubs hold four different contests throughout the year.

Contestants advance through several levels of competition: club, area, division, and eventually to district.

FROM DEEP RIVER TO WATERTOWN

District 61 spans from Deep River to Rimouski, Que., and down to Watertown, NY. The district has 4,500 members representing 200 clubs.

Renfrew Club member Tracy Franken will be competing in the humourous contest at this year’s division contest.

It was the largest single cross-country meet ever held in North America.

Sweep and Putt gets curling season started Andy Sklepowicz Behind the Glass

Sports - What does it say about a person whose favourite, most comfortable pants are his curling pants?

Heck, not only pants , the whole curling wardrobe.

Everything fits perfectly and you feel great wearing the gear. The answer is a combination of: has no clothes’ sense, get a life!, “tell me again Yvonne, why did you marry him?” and curling geek who spends waaaay too much time at the rink.

But I do have to tell you putting on those clothes and throwing the first few rocks this year sure did feel nice once I recovered from the bambi legs syndrome when stepping on the ice for that first time.

The first fun ’spiel is now in the books and it was a roaring success. Ten teams braved the brisk conditions

in the morning to golf nine holes.

Then, after getting some warm, dry clothes on, they returned to the curling rink for a hot satisfying lunch and onto the ice for six ends of fun curling and then an amazing dinner.

It was so nice to see so many new faces and old friends who stepped onto the ice for the first time in many years. The only accident was to Rick Clemow’s curling shoe which completely blew a slider. I guess glue does break down after 30 years.

A salute to Barb Westgarth and friends who rolled with the punches of putting on a preseason spiel.

The wonderful kitchen crew once again outdid themselves, with a special thanks to the pie ladies who did double duty all week and their work continues.

Thanks to Karen and Brian Yolkowskie who did double bar duty to help ease

A new talent was also discovered when Hot Sauce Peter Price not only filled in playing when needed but also stepped in to show off his barbecuing skills to help make the meal perfect.

And when the scores

were totalled and put through the magic formula, out popped the winners, Leo and Anna McCallum and Gary and Gail Smith to take home top prize. We hear that Barb uses the Red Bull formula for that extra kick.

All the leagues are now starting, but it is still not too late to register for a fun-filled winter and for new curlers the Rookies Rocks, a six-week, learn-to-curl program which is still accepting registrants at 432-6725.

CHARITABLE GIVING WITH LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES - A WIN-WIN FOR BOTH FAMILY AND CHARITIES The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities.

By Shawn Ryan, CFP, TEP Partner and Senior Insurance and Estate Planner Scrivens Insurance and Financial Solutions

Life insurance is a popular, practical way to make a significant gift to CHEO. Your donation will be wisely administered through investments which will provide a stable source of income to CHEO for years to come.

There are three main methods you can gift life insurance: by making a bequest of the proceeds of a life insurance policy through your Will; donating the policy during your lifetime at fair market value; or by naming CHEO as beneficiary and remaining as policy owner.

Here is a scenario where a mother owns a family business and wishes to gift the shares to her adult children through a provision in her Will. She wants to eliminate capital gains taxes of the shares payable at her death. The taxable capital gains reportable on the deemed disposition of shares on death is $500,000 and tax owing on this amount is $230,000 (base on a 46% marginal tax rate).

She also wants to make a sizeable donation to her favourite charitable organization, but doesn’t want to reduce her estate assets.

Given the options mentioned above, she decides that the most viable solution is to

purchase a permanent life insurance policy for $500,000 and donate the proceeds to charity through her Will.

This is a win-win for both her family and the charity. She will own the policy during her lifetime and name her estate as policy beneficiary. She will direct that a gift in an amount equal to the life insurance proceeds be paid to a charity named in the Will. The charity will receive the lump sum amount equal to the insurance proceeds upon her death. A tax receipt issued for 100% of the donation by the charity will qualify for a tax credit to be used in her final tax return. This credit has completely eliminated the tax liability on the shares at death and

The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities. This should be considered in the bigger context of planned giving options available to donors both during their lifetime and at death.

the estate value is preserved. In this case, premiums for the life insurance policy are paid with a relatively small percentage of the funds that would otherwise have been used to pay taxes owing.

Wolves turn back defending conference champs 5 for Fighting Men’s Cancers on Nov. 1 Peter Clark

peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - The Renfrew Timberwolves faced their sternest challenge of the young 2014-15 Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League season last Thursday evening.

They passed with flying colours.

The Wolves took their 6-and-1 record into the Barbara Ann Scott Arena against the 6-and-2 mark of the defending MetroValley Conference champion Ottawa West Golden Knights.

When the dust settled, it was all Wolves as they skated to their seventh win, 4-1 over the Golden Knights. And it wasn’t the big

gunners who looked after Renfrew scoring.

Tanner Smith, defenceman Teddy Suckow, Renfrew’s Nyck Paquette and a second blueliner Alex Campbell handled Wolves scoring.

Only Mike Darnowski, with a shorthanded goal late in the middle period to shave a Renfrew lead to 2-1, separated goaltender Matt Gagne from a shutout.

Other than that, the Wolves powerplay enjoyed a big night with three goals in six opportunities.

Powerplay goals from each of Smith and Suckow in the first and second periods staked Renfrew to a 2-0 lead.

Paquette made it 3-1 with an even-

strength marker 7:50 into the final stanza.

Campbell connected on a powerplay to seal the verdict six minutes later.

Defenceman Tony Antononi collected assists on both third-period markers.

The Wolves also held a solid advantage on the shot clock with a 37-24 edge.

The Wolves next play at home tomorrow night, Friday, Oct. 17. The Perth Blue Wings supply the opposition at 8 p.m.

On Sunday, the Wolves travel to Clarence Creek for a 2:15 p.m. faceoff versus the Beavers.

They are also at the Sandy Hill Arena in Ottawa to take on the Ottawa Canadians Tuesday at 7:20 p.m.

‘5 for Fighting’ Men’s Cancers is a five-kilometre fun run (or walk) hosted at the NHA-NHL Renfrew Birthplace Hockey Museum at 249 Raglan St. S., in Renfrew.

It takes place on Saturday, Nov. 1.

Registration begins at 9 a.m. and cost is $5 per person.

The run starts at 10 a.m.

Wear your favourite team jersey.

As this is also the start of Movember, you are invited to wear a moustache, fake or real.

There will be prizes for the best of each, plus refreshments served after the run.

A total of 316 residents from Renfrew County and Lanark County cycled, walked or ran 47,536 kilometres, to nearly double their output in the June 2013 Silver Chain Challenge.

Lanark County was back to defend its title in the two-county physical-participation competition, but recent statistics show Renfrew County prevailed with 29,616.8 kilometres, compared to Lanark’s 17,918.7.

This year’s launch occurred at the Eastern Ontario Active Transportation Summit in Almonte and at the Neat Café From Here to There foot and bike race in Burnstown. Both events promoted the local economic and community benefits that are realized through a commitment to active transportation.

Participants included Renfrew Warden Peter Emon, who logged 45 kilometres by walking or biking.

“I did it for me, and it’s something I’ve been trying to put into my life’s schedule,” said Emon.

He told the Sept. 24 session of Renfrew County council it’s important not only to get out in the community and talk about the importance of physical activity, but to do it.

Renfrew County’s leading participants, in order, were Pembroke with 5,126 kilometres, Laurentian Valley 4,597 and Petawawa 4,117. Renfrew was sixth of 18 participating municipalities at 1,256 km. Pikwakanagan was the 19th listed municipality, but logged no kilometres.

Of Lanark County’s nine municipalities, Mississippi Mills was easily the most enthusiastic participant, at 14,695 km. Beckwith Township was next at 1,292 and Carleton Place took third with 1,157.

Renfrew County had the highest number of participants (215 vs.

101). Renfrew County also defeated Lanark County 17,226 to 16,522 km. in cycling totals, and 12,390 to 1,396 km. in walking.

More than 300 students took to the trails at Ma-Te-Way Park Oct. 9 for a cross-country invitational that featured seven Renfrew County schools. Chase Congdon of Queen Elizabeth P.S. sprints to the finish.

Sports - The St. Jaguars swept the cross-town rival Renfrew Collegiate Raiders 3-0 in Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association junior and senior boys volleyball action at the Jag Den Thursday afternoon.

Consistent serving was the key to the Junior Jaguars’ success, coach Renee Turcotte said of her team’s victory.

The Senior Jaguars followed suit in the afternoon’s second match.

Phil Pilon and Braydon McEnroe were big at the net on the defensive side of the court, coach Trent Skelhorn said.

Both Jaguar volleyball teams remain unbeaten as the 2014 season approaches its midway point.

BASKETBALL SWEEP

The Jaguars also had a successful day against the Madawaska Valley District Wolves in the girls basket-

ball loop.

Taylor Sul netted a dozen points and Alysaa Sparling added eight in the Junior Jaguars’ 36-15 decision in Barry’s Bay Thursday afternoon.

The Senior Jaguars pulled out a thrilling 33-28 win over the Wolves.

Kim Carter led the attack with 12 points. Emma Crozier added 10 points for St. Joseph’s.

CROSS-COUNTRY

The Jaguars cross-country team travelled to Kemptville Thursday for the seventh annual Turkey Trot.

Janessa Linton stayed near the top of a strong field to post a solid ninth-place place finish in the senior girls event.

Ashlyn McClure, Brendan Hill and Tanton Landriault completed a successful day for the Jaguars by finishing just outside of the top-10.

The Jaguars cross-country team competed at the Renfrew County championship Wednesday at MaTe-Way Park.

JIM MILLER FOR MAYOR It is easy to copy suggestions and recommendations of others but be careful, people who do that are not able to produce the required results. I have already brought industry to Renfrew and am currently negotiating with more industry to move here. Any negative challenge is a chance for success. We are not in an economic downfall but rather in a time of opportunity. It is time for professional change.

In order to properly manage our wastewater charges to the public a Mayor must have experience with wastewater management and seek opportunities to reduce water bills. I have used my decades of experience with wastewater engineering to the Town’s advantage by encouraging a company to come to Renfrew and take advantage of our existing wastewater system to add significant annual funds to our water accounts and reduce our water bills.

The same goes for fresh water fiscal management; I have years of fresh water engineering. Renfrew unlike the townships do not have septic tanks or wells to contend with, we have wastewater and freshwater plants.

Some residents make uninformed claims as to Renfrew’s potential. Claims such as, “Renfrew is a Senior Town” or “Renfrew is in the middle of nowhere”! Think about such claims. Renfrew has little attraction for seniors. I was part of the start-up, and am still part of the committee for the Golden Age Activity Centre; one of the few services for seniors. A Senior Town has many attractions for seniors throughout the morning and afternoon including entertainment, larger restaurant meals at noon also small types of transportation around town for those who tire or have difficulty walking. Senior Towns have good sidewalks and parks dedicated to seniors.

If you think Renfrew is in the middle of nowhere then I suggest you do what I did, and take a lawn chair and sit out at the end of O’Brien Rd. or Bruce St. and count the number of trucks passing by on Hwy. 17. The problem is they are passing by and not leaving our industrial park. Renfrew is attached to the highway that goes from Halifax to Vancouver, Renfrew has two very

active highways going right through the middle of town, Hwy. 60 and Hwy. 132; how can anyone say we are in the middle of nowhere?

I put together, at a large personal cost, the Birthplace NHA/NHL Museum. This is a calling card to Renfrew that is largely being ignored, but should be municipally sponsored as a huge tourist attraction. It takes a person of vision to make these things happen. I am that person.

As you can see I am a team player, and If I am elected Mayor of Renfrew there will be change. Just as I was able to work with a team to influence NOVA POLE to buy USS Steal and create jobs I will work with other types of industry to come to Renfrew that will have a positive effect on taxes.

In the first year I will work with town employees to initiate cost savings. Renfrew is a Corporation and as with all corporations a quality review is necessary every decade or two, which will produce the improved accountability we deserve as ratepayers.

We need a Mayor that will travel to conferences and tradeshows, knows how to market and ensure that there are jobs to retain our most valuable and important future asset “Our Youth”.

48 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, October 16, 2014

Carleton Place’s Country Harvest Music Show features popular east coast performers Sunday Jeff Maguire

There will be a distinctive Maritimes flavour to the sixth annual Country Harvest Music Show in Carleton Place on Sunday, Oct. 19 and area country fans can look forward to another outstanding concert.

Headlining the always popular, fall musical extravaganza will be Floyd Spicer and Jo-Ann Newman, both of whom are members of the Nova Scotia Country Music Hall of Fame.

The annual concert is popular with country music fans from west Ottawa, Lanark and Renfrew counties.

Andy Bowes of the Carleton Place band the Bowes Brothers is once again organizing the entertainment for the show which will be staged in the upper hall of the Carleton Place arena complex. It was Bowes who was successful in luring the eastern Canadian duo to central Canada and he couldn’t be more excited.

“Floyd and Jo-Ann put on a great show.

They perform the songs by all of the top duos in country music history. Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton, George Jones and Melba Montgomery – all of the greats.”

Spicer has a big family connection to this region. His late brother Gary ‘Spike’ Spicer was also a popular musician who played pedal steel guitar for the award-winning Ottawa band the Family Brown.

Bowes struck up a friendship with the brothers based on his admiration of their musical ability. His friendship with Floyd Spicer was cemented during 16 trips to Nova Scotia, including a few visits with his three brothers and their father Clarence.

“Most of the time I’ve gone out there on my own. But we have played as a family a few times too. We perform at the Wilf Carter Tribute Show in Canning (N.S.).” Canning was the hometown of the late, great Canadian musician and song writer Wilf Carter.

“They (Floyd and Jo-Ann) have been so good to me. I stay with them when I’m out there and Floyd plays in my band.

“This time I am returning the favour. They are going to stay with my wife and I while they’re here,” Bowes explains.

“People are going to love them. Before they got married Jo-Ann sang in a duo with her sister. They have performed at the Grand Ole Opry (in Nashville).”

Bowes counts the Spicer brothers among his mentors. “Spike did a lot to help get my career off the ground and Floyd has been so helpful over the years. I owe so much to both of them.”

The upcoming Carleton Place venture is one of the most anticipated musical events of the year in Lanark County and west Ottawa. The show starts at 7 p.m. and the ticket price remains unchanged at $15 per person. The event is licenced and snacks will be available beforehand and during intermission.

To date only one member of the Bowes Brothers has not performed solo in the Country Harvest Music Show.

But Carleton Place promoter Bob White, the driving force behind the show since its inception in 2009, says that situation will be rectified Oct. 19.

“Ed Bowes, the oldest of the four brothers, will be performing this year. He is the song writer for the band. I know those who attend that night are in for a real treat,” White says.

Andy is delighted to have the opportunity to perform with his oldest brother.

“I really look up to him and it will be fun to sing harmony with Ed during this year’s show.”

Also joining the line-up is Stittsville performer Gord Barnes who is highly regarded in Ottawa Valley country music circles and Harry Adrain of Perth who is well-known across Lanark County.

Adrain is particularly admired for covering songs by the late American country star Buck Owens. Adrain’s daughter Cheryl was part of last year’s sold-out Carleton Place show.

“Gord does all the great country classics. He is very talented,” Andy Bowes says.

“As for Harry (Adrain) – well, you can’t go wrong with Harry in your show. Everyone likes his music. It will be an honour to play with him,” Bowes stresses.

Andy’s brother John will once again handle sound for the production. Almonte’s Charlie Kitts, a member of the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame, returns as master of ceremonies.

Kitts, who was inducted into the hall as a builder in 2010, is one of the most popular emcees in the district.

For the first five years of the Country Harvest Music Show proceeds went to the Carleton Place Town Hall Auditorium Restoration Fund.

“We raised $15,000 in five years for the auditorium,” says White, noting town council matches every dollar raised. “So that means $30,000 in five years for improvements to the auditorium.

“This year we (organizing committee) decided to change things. The proceeds will go to the Carleton Place Arena Building Fund.”

White, who is the senior facilities operator at the arena (he works for the Carleton Place Department of Recreation and Culture), says the profits will be used to upgrade the public washrooms in Arena 1. here are two ice surfaces at the community centre complex and the first (Arena 1) dates from 1969.

An added attraction at the annual Carleton Place venture is the House Band which once again is comprised of outstanding talent from across the district.

Andy Bowes will play bass and perform a few of his favourite songs. He is also one of the best yodelers in the region. Joining him will be Brad Scott of Pakenham on lead guitar, fiddler Wade Foster from Innisville, steel guitar player Matt Brydges from Renfrew and drummer Ken Post from Gravenhurst.

“Ken is a really interesting guy,” Bowes says. “He has toured with Tommy Hunter.”

Hunter is a Canadian country music icon and

acclaimed CBC TV host.

“The house band is excellent, “White stresses. “They will back-up all of the singers as well.”

Besides the country music talent, chief promoter White feels the theme of the annual production is an asset.

“People enjoy the country harvest setting (the hall is decorated for fall and Halloween).

There is a lot of colour to it.”

He stresses the Oct. 19 fundraiser is “not a dance – it’s a concert.” Those in attendance are in a theatre-style setting, although there are no reserved seats. “There isn’t a bad seat in the house,” White underlines.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the show begins in the upper hall at 7 p.m. There will be a 20-minute intermission. Refreshments are not served while the show is on but will be available beforehand and during the intermission.

There’s plenty of free parking at the arena complex which is located on Neelin St., behind Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital.

There is also good handicapped access including an elevator and there are modern washrooms in the upstairs hall.

“It won’t be a late night for people from Ottawa or Lanark and Renfrew counties who want to enjoy a great night of country music,” White promises.

There are no telephone ticket reservations and people are urged to buy tickets in advance at one of several outlets.

“You would be taking a chance at the door,” White cautions.

“This is a popular show and it could be sold out quickly.”

Tickets at $15 each are available at the arena office and at Carambeck Community Centre, 351 Bridge Street, Carleton Place.

The other ticket outlets are Graham’s Shoes, 139 Bridge St., Carleton Place; Nicholson’s Sundries on Graham St. in Pakenham and Mark’s Cobbler Shop, 98 Gore St. E., Perth.

Jersey Day extends Raiders spirit Taylor Virgin Raider Review

Renfrew Collegiate Institute and Renfrew Collegiate Intermediate School showed off their excitement for the newest National Hockey League season by coupling Jersey Day with a mini-stick hockey tournament last week.

Students and teachers wore jerseys from a variety of sports teams, most notably the Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs.

The mini-stick teams consisted of five players who competed in the three-day tournament.

Seven teams participated at lunch and drew in a crowd of more than 40 spectators. “We decided to do the tournament to show case our true Canadian spirit for the love of hockey,� explained RCI student president Mitchell Hanniman.

The winning team didn’t go home with the Stanley Cup, but did win a pizza lunch.

OHTO teams up with prestigious marketing firm

Pie Lady at Carp Market The Pie Lady, Agnes Walker of Renfrew, who has stalls at a variety of local markets, said her first year at the Carp Farmers’ Market has been a good one. Walker had a variety of pies and treats on sale for the harvest celebration in Carp Oct. 4.

Community - As it shifts towards a new visitor-centric regional strategy, the Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO) has selected Karo Group as its new marketing agency of record.

The partnership marks another transition for the OHTO, which has spent the last several months researching and understanding its target markets and identifying captivating, memorable experiences within the region that speak directly to visitors’ specific travel motivations.

Leveraging Karo Group’s expertise in experiential marketing, the OHTO looks forward to the development of a compelling brand strategy that generates greater affinity to the region for both consumers and industry stakeholders.

“Karo’s profile within the Canadian tour-

SHERRY HAAIMA/ METROLAND

ism market, and their track record of success, is well known in the industry,” says OHTO executive director Nicole Whiting.

“Their award-winning work for Travel Alberta (they were the brains behind the Remember to Breathe campaign) is something we’ve admired, and we were excited by their shared understanding of the importance of a visitor-centric experience based approach to destination development.”

Established in 1971, Karo operates out of offices in Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary.

OHTO is a not-for-profit organization mandated by the Province to increase tourism within the counties of Haliburton, Lanark, and Renfrew and portions of Frontenac, Hastings, and Lennox and Addington.

OHTO’s staff operates out of the Renfrew County building in Pembroke.

News - The Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) is proud to launch the application phase of the Back to Ag Program. The Back to Ag Program is the result of a partnership between CASA, Farm Credit Canada (FCC) and the Rick Hansen Foundation (RHF).

“Every year, there are Canadian farmers who experience a life-altering injury, such as paralysis or lost limbs,” says Rick Hansen, CEO of the Rick Hansen Foundation, in a news release.

“They often need specialized equipment or adaptive technology to return to the occupation they love.

We’re thrilled to partner in this incredible program to help farmers get back to work.”

The Back to Ag Program will provide up to $10,000 to a successful applicant to support the cost of adaptive technology for farmers and agricultural workers who have experienced a traumatic injury.

“CASA remains dedicated to making the agricultural sector a safe place to work and live by helping producers see and manage risks in their workplace,” says CADA executive director Marcel Hacault.

“However, some farmers must leave agriculture all together when they experience a traumatic injury.

This program will help producers get back to doing what they love – farm-

ing.”

To kick-start the program, FCC donated $100,000 to the Back to Ag Program following a successful twoweek social media campaign earlier this year. Individuals and other organizations also donated to the Back to Ag Program through both the RHF and the FarmSafe Foundation.

“FCC supports projects and initiatives that make positive changes in the communities where our customers live and work across Canada,” said Brenda Stasuik, FCC’s director of strategy, government relations and corporate social responsibility.

“The Back to Ag Program will help injured farmers realize their full potential.”

Applications for the Back to Ag Program will be accepted until Nov. 28, 2014. Canadian residents who are 18 years or older, have experienced a life-altering injury and are able to show their need and demonstrate how the adaptive technology will help them return to work on the farm, are eligible to apply. The adaptive technology can come in the form of medical devices or accessibility tools like ramps or lifts or any other technology that will allow the producer in return to farm work.

Applicants can visit casa-acsa.ca/ Back_To_Ag_Program, email backtoag@casa-acsa.ca or call CASA at 877-452 2272 for more details.

Busy, busy, busy month Emma Crozier Jaguar Journal

Lifestyle - St. Joseph’s Catholic High School maintains its on-the-go pace as another week passes. With the upcoming weeks packed with activities, the staff and students are busy preparing.

FOOD DRIVE

The annual food drive, held by the St. Joe’s Pastoral Team, collected more than 800 non-perishable items for the Renfrew and District Food Bank.

The homeroom that collected the most food will enjoy a class movie at the O’Brien Theatre on Friday.

The sports teams at St. Joseph’s, including girls’ basketball, boys’ volleyball, cross-country and tennis, have been very successful during the opening weeks of their seasons.

Also on the athletics front, St. Joe’s is honoured to have hosted elite trainer Matt Nichol on Saturday. Mr. Nichol addressed and demonstrated a variety of athletic activities with a group of students.

The St. Joseph’s Jazz Band contin-

ues its orange and grapefruit sales to raise proceeds.

Student council was thrilled to have raised money during their Soak Student Council fundraiser last week.

BREAST CANCER AWARENESS

As October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, St. Joe’s will be dedicating a day to the cause by asking staff and students to wear pink and to donate anything they can.

Another upcoming spirit day will be Halloween themed, allowing students to wear appropriate costumes or orange and black.

St. Joseph’s is very sad to be saying goodbye to our vice-principal, Mr. Derek Lennox, as he takes on a new position in Arnprior. The school thanks him for his dedication over the years. As a school, we are excited to be welcoming aboard Mr. Tony Jacyno as he accepts the v.p.’s position.

As usual, remember to check out www.sjchsrenfrew.wordpress.com to stay updated on the events and activities taking place at St. Joseph’s.

As a school community, we hope that everyone had a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving.

Heart-warming thanks for Canadian Foodgrains Bank support overseas Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Community – Horton resident Margo Aubert has done plenty of overseas travelling, but she had never been to Africa, and never to Ethiopia where residents often face the challenge of growing enough food just to survive.

Africa’s unpredictable rainfall and climate change have not always smiled on its residents, who have long faced agricultural challenges far greater than those faced by most Canadians.

For that very reason, the Canadian Foodgrains Bank (CFGB) has contributed, along with additional funds from the Canadian government, millions of dollars over more than 30 years to crop-development programs in numerous countries.

One of the major recipients of $26 million in CFGB funding in 2012-13 was Ethiopia. There were 122 projects supported in

37 countries, including Somalia, South Sudan, North Korea, Guatemala and India. The federal government provided another $23 million for the program last year, and contributes a similar figure each year.

The CFGB, explains Aubert, co-ordinates projects with overseas partners to tackle the many obstacles to food security faced by people in countries around the globe.

Meanwhile, Ethiopians are doing better in recent years because of the CFGB funding in several of their communities.

Typically, there are three-year funding cycles for community projects that may receive renewed funding. Funds may provide direct food aid, help improve agricultural practices and access to water, help rehabilitate and reforest oncefertile areas, and create income diversification.

In the pilot project, Aubert was among about a

dozen visitors who spent two weeks in four different regions of Ethiopia Ziway, Wolayta-Soddo, Boricha Woreda and Kucha Woreda learning what impact CFGB funds have made in the Ethiopians’ lives.

“I came back feeling like I had been an ambassador for all of Canada because I received the thanks for all the people of Canada,” said Aubert.

“The recipients of every kind of aid are so grateful, and they just want to thank you all the time. So I’m bringing that thanks back to Canada.”

Continued from page 61 “If someone would like The Auberts hope many The CFGB’s localized projects typically last three years, although some similar projects in Renfrew to start their own project, projects received renewed funds.

The projects usually involve cashfor-work and food-for-work components. For example, during Aubert’s visit she met a man who took pride in being photographed with his new shovel that he earned for working on a CFGB project.

Aubert was among the visitors to Ethiopia because she and husband Daniel have been contributors to the CFGB since 2000.

Their Riverview Foodgrains Project provides an annual contribution of about $8,000 from their wheat, hay and soybean harvests. The crops are grown on 25 acres of Horton Township land that’s rented for a nominal fee from Becky and Richard Hollingsworth. They, in turn, contribute the rent money to the CFGB. Ray Pender of neighbouring Admaston-Bromley Township has been involved with an Admaston and area grain share project since 1996. Since then, Pender says the local project has raised about $195,000 for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank.

that would be fantastic,” she says, suggesting advice on how to do so might be best pursued through a veteran contributor.

Aubert hopes motivation might also come from her own presentations on the trip to Ethiopia.

She’ll do PowerPoint presentations, with many photographs, for local groups at no charge. For details, call 613432-6589.

Her talk focuses on the successes witnessed in Ethiopia.

She calls her visit an “unforgettable experience” largely

because the Canadian funding has allowed the African people to have hope for the future.

As the Ethiopians told Aubert and her Canadian colleagues, the support has meant avoiding starvation, saving their land, and saving their community.

Ethiopians dig this deep catchment area for rain to facilitate their crop program that receives funding from the Canadian Foodgrains Bank.

We little knew that day, God was going to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone.

For part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide.

And although we cannot see you, You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same.

But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.

Miss you everyday Mom, Dad Brother, Sisters, Brother in law, Sister in law, Nieces & Nephews

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, October 16, 2014 67

Mr. Nobody becomes somebody exandra Martin shared their thoughts and experiences on the Who is Nobody? project.

“It took a lot of time,” Alexandra said of the project.

“We were all excited because we had never really done it before,” Reese said.

The Grade 6 students were introduced to the project by the then Grade 8 class, who had completed the Who is Nobody? project the year before.

Casey, who is a big fan of the guitar, decided to offer free guitar lessons at the school as her contribution to the project.

“That’s my passion,” she said. “I love playing the guitar.”

She received her first guitar from her parents when she was in Grade 2 and began playing seriously by Grade 4. Both Reese and Alexandra were among the students who took part in Casey’s lessons.

Casey said her program went “great.” “I extended my lessons from three to five because it was so much fun.”

She added a guitar pick to the Mr. Nobody doll to commemorate her guitar program.

Reese is a goaltender for

News – It took six months, but Lisa McGregor’s McNab Public School’s Grade 6 class turned Mr. Nobody into a somebody through acts of altruism.

The Who is Nobody? project ran in the last semester of the 2013-2014 school year. It involved a doll named Mr. Nobody with no eyes, no ears, no nose, no mouth – no identifying features at all, actually.

Through participation in the Who is Nobody? project, students are encouraged to pursue their own interests and to experience their own way of helping. Students could choose to help people, animals or the environment.

The project encourages all students to be positive role models within their community and it allows student to experience the joy of helping others.

Each Grade 6 student had to pick a project, see it through and, upon completion, could take a symbol of the project and attach it to the Mr. Nobody doll.

Now in Grade 7, Casey Asselin, Reese Mellema and Al-

the Arnprior Devils ringette team and is competing at the provincial level this year. She has played ringette for eight years – six as a goalie.

She chose to help the Novice-aged ringette players by offering some goaltending coaching “I coached them on the finer points of the position,” Reese said.

She enjoyed her time coaching the younger players so much, “I ended up staying for the whole season.”

Reese said she added a ringette stick and ring to the Mr. Nobody doll.

Alexandra enjoys cooking and baking. For her Who is Nobody? Project, she put her skills to use.

“I helped raise money for the school by baking goods for the White Lake Women’s Institute bake sale,” she said.

And when she was done, Alexandra attached a pin with a teeny-tiny cupcake on it to Mr. Nobody.

Other student projects over the course of the assignment included one student cleaning her grandmother’s house.

Among the Grade 6 class Who is Nobody? participants are Reese Mellema, Casey Asselin and Alexandra Martin, now in Grade 7.
