The Renfrew Collegiate Institute students were atop a truck bed for the annual Pigskin Parade that made its way downtown on Friday, Oct. 13. The day proved unlucky for the junior squad who lost 26-14 to Arnprior but the seniors were victorious over Rideau 45-0. For more on the parade and game see pages 18 and 31.

Town takes over bluegrass festival

The Town of Renfrew is taking over the Valley Bluegrass Festival.

Council supported the motion on Oct. 10 to take over the event, which has been held for the past 23 years at the Johnston Farm in Horton Township.

Coun. Arlene Jamieson, chair of the economic development and tourism committee, explained officials began to consider the idea when the event’s organizing committee announced the festival’s demise.

“I think we can do this if it passes tonight,” said Coun.

Jamieson at the Oct. 10 council meeting, noting there remains a local desire to carry on the tradition of hosting the event. “It’s going to be interesting.”

After 23 years, the committee has grown tired and weather conditions have created a need for an indoor space, said Jamieson. Renfrew’s Ma-Te-Way Park and activity centre are the town’s choice for a location.

The festival, held in July each year, typically draws some 600 trailers and thousands of people, including musicians and spectators.

Former organizers will help the town through the transition, but have asked the town to come up with their own name for the event.

A Bluegrass Festival Working Group consisting of Jamieson, reeve Peter Emon and Coun. Mike Coulas has been formed. The group will be provided with working funds up to $60,000, payable back through the collection of future revenues in conjunction with an overall budget for the festival’s operation.

The group will report back to council through the economic development and tourism committee.

Reeve Emon explained that work will have to begin very soon on planning and booking bands for the event. MaTe-Way is an ideal location, he noted.

“It’s nice and close to shopping, it’s nice and close to the downtown core,” he said. Ma-Te-Way may draw a larger walk-in crowd as well, he said, and an indoor option improves safety for the musicians and efficiency in terms of not having to cancel shows because of weather.

Other events can be held around the festival and it’s sure to draw revenue for the town and its businesses.

“There’s a whole pile of things that make a lot of sense for this,” he said. “All in all, it’s a good investment.”

Mayor Don Eady expressed his support for the plan.

“The Town of Renfrew, we’ve proven we can hold events,” he said. “If you want to keep your town vibrant, you need these kind of events. We need these things happening.”

It’s a natural move for the town to take it over, he said.

“The bluegrass festival is a nice fit,” said Eady. “It’s like taking over a business that’s already been running for many years and been very successful.”

to Town and County Forming in the amount of $30,640.

The new centre is located at Haramis Park, replacing the old centre that was recently torn down.

On Oct. 10, councillors authorized staff to award the construction to Madigan Carpentry for $139,000.

Council also authorized staff to have mechanical and cabinetry work completed at a cost not to exceed $14,460.

There was discussion about the project during the 2017 budget process but it was not included in the final 2017 Capital Budget due to the uncertainty of federal funding.

The $60,000 grant funding was an-

nounced on June 21 and is coming from the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure grant.

During the September meeting, Coun. Kate Windle asked when it would be opened. Recreation direction Kevin Hill said they hope to have it done in the coming weeks.

“We want to have a celebration on Dec. 21 to see Canada’s 150 out with a ribbon-cutting,” said Hill.

Renfrew refugee group gets sponsorship approval TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com

It’s been a long road for a determined group of local volunteers trying to help a Syrian refugee family, but those efforts have paid off.

The Renfrew Refugee Welcome Group (RRWG) recently learned its application to sponsor a Syrian refugee family has been approved.

The family is comprised of a mother, father and two young children who are currently in a camp in Jordan.

“We have received their information from immigration and that file has been approved,” said Henry Venema, chair of the RRWG, after a meeting on Friday, Oct. 13. “The next step is

in Jordan for medical checks and then to Canada. We are thinking sometime early next year, that is our hope.”

When the group, made up of approximately 70 volunteers and led by a working group of a dozen people, started the process to secure a family close to two years ago, they raised $50,000 for an initial family that eventual took an offer in the United States.

Venema admits the group has been silent as the file was stuck.

“We want the community to know that our group is as active as before,” said Venema. “We are prepared to receive this family and have the resources in place.”

The group is also working with two local churches: the Christian Reform

Church and Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church, and it is the United Church of Canada who is the sponsorship agreement holder.

Once the family arrives, RRWG is responsible for them for one year, and everyone is looking forward to helping them.

“We are working out all details and it was very exciting to find out we had been approved,” said Venema.

“The group is very positive and they expressed their willingness to do the work.”

As to the next step: “We have been told the file is moving,” said Venema.

“It’s at the next step and we hope it will be completed and they will be here soon.”

The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) investigated 272 calls for service during the past week.

On Tuesday, Oct. 3, OPP officers responded to a break, enter and theft call at a cabin on Colton Road in Admaston/Bromley Township. A padlock was cut off a gate to gain access to the property. Padlocks were also cut off several outbuildings and sheds to search them. A door to the cabin was kicked in. Stolen property includes various tools, a flat screen TV, liquor, pop, two gun-cleaning kits and a Cooey shotgun. Physical evidence was collected from the scene. Police believe the break in occurred during the overnight hours between Sunday, Oct. 1 and Monday, Oct. 2. A stolen 2007 red Ford Ranger pick-up truck was involved in this theft. It was stolen from Ben Hokum Ltd property on Black Point Road in North Algona Wilberforce Township overnight Oct. 1-2. It was recovered in the ditch on South McNaughton Road in the early morning hours on Oct. 2.

Const. Jason Golds is investigating.

A door and window were damaged at a vacant home on Dragonfly Way in Admaston Bromley Township. The damage was reported to police on Friday, Oct. 6. Nothing was stolen at the scene. Const. Jeff Cassidy is investigating.

A home on Marjorie Road in Whitewater Region Township was broken into on Saturday Oct. 7 around 11 p.m. Police responded when a witness reported someone driving a ski doo on the snowmobile trail and had gotten it stuck and abandoned it. While investigating this theft police discovered the owner of the snowmobile was away and their home had been broken into. A television was stolen from the home. Const. Mark Cranford is investigating.

On Oct. 8 at approximately 2:38 a.m. OPP officers responded to a single vehicle collision on Opeongo Road in Admaston Bromley Township.

NOTICE OF THE PASSING OF BY-LAW 71-2017 TO DESIGNATE 249 RAGLAN STREET SOUTH TO BE OF CULTURAL HERITAGE VALUE AND INTEREST

------ ST. PAUL’S ANGLICAN CHURCH ------

TAKE NOTICE that the Council of The Corporation of the Town of Renfrew passed By-Law 71-2017 to designate the following property as a property of cultural heritage value or interest pursuant to the provisions of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter 0.18, Part IV, Section 29. A brief statement of reason is included: Statement of Cultural Heritage Value/Description of Heritage Attributes The property located at 249 Raglan Street South (Lot 15 &16, Plan 3, Town of Renfrew ), also known as the Renfrew Post Office, has cultural heritage value or interest. The property is located midblock on the east side of Raglan Street South between Renfrew Avenue East and Prince Avenue East. It has physical/design value because it is a representative example of the Romanesque Rival Post Offices constructed by the Federal Office of Public Works under Chief Architect David Ewart.

It is unique in its use of stone as a cladding material. The 1956 addition, using the language of the International Moderne Style, is both sympathetic and secondary to the 1908 original structure in terms of its massing and the use of materials on its façade. The property has historical/associative value because it as direct associations with people and institution that are significant to the community. This includes: the Federal Office of Public Works under Chief Architect David Ewart, with Aaron Abel Wright, the Customs Service, and the Post Office (which has been a continuous tenant since the building’s opening in 1908). The property, notably the Post Office Building proper, demonstrates or reflects the work of several key architects and builders including: The Department of Public Works under Chief Architect David Ewart; Joseph Bourgue and Co. from Hull Quebec; architect John McNichol of Renfrew; M. Sullivan and Son Ltd of Arnprior; and Belcour and Blair Architects (supported by J. Klassen Consulting Engineer and Raymond C. Gaulther).

The property has contextual value because the Renfrew Post Office Building is important in defining and maintaining the streetscape character of Raglan Street South. It is linked physically to Renfrew’s historic main street (Raglan Street South), it is visually a key part of the streetscape, and is historically linked to its surroundings. Its site was specifically chosen to serve as a terminal vista at the end of Renfrew Avenue West. It is also a community landmark.

Detailed reasons and further information respecting the designation of 249 Raglan Street South can be obtained by contacting Kim R. Bulmer, Town Clerk, at 613-432-4848, ext. 105 or at kbulmer@renfrew.ca DATED at the Town of Renfrew this 12th day of October, 2017

New proposed Liberal tax changes are deceitful says reader To the editor:

Thanks to my MP Representative and several tax professionals I have learned why so many Canadians are up in arms about the proposed tax changes.

I can now see that the underlying purpose of the changes is obviously opposed to the ‘deceitful’ descriptions and word games that are being used to sell it.

With my tax background it did not

take me long to see what ‘levelling the playing field’ is all about.

The liberal government description ambiguously and erroneously compares small businesses’ benefits and playing field to a T4 earners’ plight.

(Most people actually prefer that plight.)

But all the while the Liberal government is actually catering to big and global business.

One example (only) being the future inability of a small private busi-

ness owner to use dividends (taxed in the present way) to finance his grownup-children while they are in university; big business is the one who gains if they can hire someone with less education and pay them less.

I’ve always been taught that small business is big business.

Our country thrives on it.

Only a very small, insignificant business with few, if any, employees would not incorporate.

But a small business with a back-

Applying excessive tax and rules to these small companies could unfairly cost these more to operate, as well as, cause them to fail.

If the liberal government is ‘truly’ concerned about passive investments being made with earnings kept in the company that are not immediately building the business up, then why

doesn’t it assign some “reasonable” time limits to these companies (to passively invest prior to reinvesting in the company).

I know from experience that it is not that difficult to differentiate an opportunist from a hard working entrepreneur with an ‘honest to goodness’ plan for building his business while avoiding bankruptcy.

Soon the death toll will rise Many people have reported that they are still seeing active insects.

Some have said that mosquitoes are still biting. Others have had nasty encounters with yellowjacket wasps. And a few have spotted the occasional Monarch butterfly fluttering by. I’ve been asked if these sightings are unusual for this time of year.

My answer was yes, but not unexpected. Usually by now, there has been a hard frost or two and several days of strong northerly winds. But warmer temperatures have prevailed, and most winds have come from the south. These conditions have allowed a number of insects to stay active when normally they would be either dormant or dead.

Under freezing conditions, the water in insect bodies turns to ice and the cells rupture, causing death. Praying mantids, walking sticks and many other insects suffer that fate. But prior to death, they did mate and lay eggs. Since the embryos in the eggs carry the parents’ genes, their life was not in vain; genetic immortality is the goal of all living things.

But some insects can survive sub-zero temperatures through the use of glycerol — an antifreeze that keeps their internal liquids unfrozen (supercooled). When freezing temperatures arrive, female mosquitoes survive while males perish. In early spring, the survivors lay their eggs in shallow water, often in tree boles or shallow pools in the forest. When the eggs hatch and the

larvae complete their cycle, a new generation of biting insects greets us when we enter their domain.

Only the newly mated queens of wasps and bumble bees survive freezing temperatures; the rest of their kind die. A few butterflies (and moths) survive winter as adults while most of their relatives do so as pupae or, in the case of Monarchs, as butterflies farther south. Mourning cloaks, commas and Compton tortoiseshells crawl into crevices where they spend winter in an unfrozen state thanks to their antifreeze. In spring, these colourful butterflies are the first to fly in local forests.

Some insects overwinter as supercooled larvae while others tolerate the formation of ice inside their bodies in a state known as freeze tolerance. Banded woolly bears, the familiar caterpillars of Isabella moths, hide in leaf litter and partly freeze, only to thaw and crawl when conditions get warmer.

The warm temperatures have also inspired birds to sing, although not with the full conviction heard in spring. White-throated sparrows, winter wrens and song sparrows are currently offering recognizable renditions of their spring songs. Male ruffed grouse have also been heard sending out their familiar spring drum rolls from atop old logs.

Now, before you think this warm weather will inspire birds to mate, only to lose their eggs when cold temperatures arrive, worry not. Each

Renfrew Public Library unveils new book tree

The Renfrew Public Library (RPL) book tree was officially opened on Monday, Oct. 16. On hand for the special occasion are: Donna Clark, RPL board member, Jana Tamosetis, RPL staff, Susan Tough, RPL staff and Kelly Thompson, chief librarian and chief executive officer.

TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com

Something has sprouted in downtown Renfrew.

It’s a book tree!

The ribbon was officially cut for the large, newly constructed, tree that is home to numerous books to be freely borrowed on Monday, Oct. 16, also the start of Ontario Public Library Week.

Kelly Thompson, chief librarian and chief executive officer at the Renfrew Public Library, has been working on the project since 2012.

“It just looks amazing!” said Thompson.

She was a member of the original steering committee that worked to bring a number of book trees to Renfrew County, the first group to ‘grow’ them in North America.

The concept originated in Berlin, Germany as they are home to book forests.

Thompson has a number of reasons why a book tree is a positive addition to Renfrew.

The concept is simple but powerful, it is free to use and people can leave books in one of the five books boxes that are covered against the elements or just take a book.

“It’s to get people outside to read, it encourages them to read and it gives them ownership in the books,” said Thompson.

“The community itself also takes ownership of it and the books, they take the books out and look after it.”

The book tree encourages everyone to read.

“It’s for all ages, there are picture books to novels and it should hold quite a few books,” said Thompson.

“And the books will be turning over.”

The book tree is located outside of the Renfrew Library at 13 Railway Ave. across from the town hall and is approximately 12 feet tall.

“The idea was to put it somewhere central for us to monitor,” said Thompson.

“Our downtown is beautiful and it’s one more opportunity to enjoy and engage in learning and reading.

It’s a really neat idea that’s not common.”

Although there was no final cost on the project it has been a joint effort from different town departments.

“All of the departments have worked together to fund the project.”

Thompson appreciates everyone who made the book tree possible she would especially like to thank recreation director Kevin Hill and his staff for everything they contributed to the project.

“The tree would not be here at all if it wasn’t for them,” added Thompson.

Some of the initial books in the tree also have special stickers to connect them with book trees around the world by tracking them at www.bookcrossing.com.

This was the first of many events the Renfrew Public Library to mark to Ontario Public Library Week from Oct. 15 to 21 as well October is Canadian Library Month.

On Oct. 20 at 6 p.m. the library is hosting a Local Author Panel Wine and Cheese: A Renfrew Reads 150 event, on Oct. 27 the Canadian Haunting and Paranormal Society will be in town to they discuss some of their most nail-biting investigations at 7 p.m. and on Oct. 30 at 6 p.m. the library presents the Rocky Horror Picture Show, movie goers are encouraged to dress up and enjoy the show.

The library is also on Facebook and for more information visit: http://www.renfrew.ca/library.cfm.

Through a $50,000 grant from the federal Enabling Accessibility Fund, the Sands on Golden Lake has installed two new fully accessible washrooms.

These new facilities allow all visitors to the Sands on Golden Lake, regardless of their accessibility needs, to relax and enjoy more aspects of their vacation in comfort.

The EAF supports community-based projects across Canada that improve accessibility, remove barriers, and enable Canadians with disabilities to participate in and contribute to their communities.

The EAF was established in 2008 by the Conservative government to help fund small projects in communities across Canada to improve physical accessibility for persons with disabilities.

Between 2008 and 2010 the program provided funding to hundreds of accessibility projects across Canada.

Shawville author releases novel TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com

What’s in the cards this time for Luke Murphy’s popular fiction characters?

The Shawville, Que. author and former Renfrew County area teacher has penned the follow-up to the everpopular Dead Man’s Hand, which followed Las Vegas debt collector Calvin Watters and Det. Dale Dayton trying to solve the mystery of a prominent casino owner.

In his new book Wild Card, released on Oct. 14, it’s described as not just a job but something personal.

“After proving his innocence as a murder suspect, taking down an assassin, and being an instrumental part in solving a high-profile murder, Calvin Watters believes he can finally move on — until Ace Sanders’ prison escape catapults him into action.”

Murphy says he is thrilled with the reviews he has received so far on his new book.

“All the danger, treachery, and action a thriller reader could wish for.

Luke Murphy has the touch,” said Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Order, in a press release on the new book.

This time, the adventure takes readers on quite the ride.

“It’s a very fast-paced, entertain-

ing read that spans across continents,” said Murphy. “The investigation leads to South America and it’s an international thriller.”

For Dead Man’s Hand, he travelled to Las Vegas but for this novel he conducted his research on South America via the Internet and interviews.

Answers are also forthcoming to questions left in the first book.

“There were some cliffhangers at the end of Dead Man’s Hand and those will be answered,” said Murphy.

“They discover someone else was involved.”

This is his third novel and the pressure is on Murphy to deliver. He says living up to the previous books’ success was a challenge in writing his newest creation.

“Just so many people liked my first two books and the expectations were so high,” said Murphy. “You really want to keep the momentum going and that’s a major challenge.”

The book is available on e-readers/ Amazon as of Saturday, Oct. 14 and will be available at bookstores in the coming weeks.

“Saturday is the day, I’m anxious but also very excited and people will get to read it.”

He is also planning on holding a book launch when he receives the hard copies of the books in early November in Shawville.

Murphy played professional hockey before retiring in 2006 and his sports column “Overtime” won the award for best sports page in Quebec in 2009.

Murphy is a teacher by day living in Shawville with his wife and three daughters.

TSA choir and guests present Common Vision concert to raise funds Choir members from Trinity-St. Andrew’s (TSA) and Glen Cairn United Churches (GCUC) will be joined by the Renfrew Youth Choir on Sunday, Oct. 22 to sing, celebrate, and raise funds to help put an end to global hunger.

“We’re excited about coming together as a community for an afternoon of great music and to support a great cause,” says Mike McCormick, TSA music director and one of the concert’s organizers.

“We are very happy that the Renfrew Youth Choir and director Jessica Belanger will be sharing their talents with us. Guest organist Scott Auchinleck will be another highlight.

“The concerts are a way to showcase the beauty of music, and also to help others. It’s going to be a great experience.”

“There are lots of ways to support people around the world who do not get enough to eat — performing music is one of them”, says Auchinleck. “The GCUC choir and I are pleased to be a part of this effort.”

The congregation of Trinity-St. Andrew’s invites members of the community to come

out to enjoy the concert and celebrate God’s good earth and the food it provides. Following the concert, everyone is invited to a social time at the Chili Fest Community Supper downstairs in Stewart Hall.

Over 70 Common Vision concerts will be presented by churches of many denominations in communities across Canada. The total raised will be eligible for a matching contribution of 4:1 from the Government of Canada, through the partnership between Canadian Foodgrains Bank and Global Affairs Canada.

The concert is Sunday, Oct. 22 at 3 p.m. followed by the Chili Fest Community Supper at 4:30 p.m. Trinity-St. Andrew’s is located at 291 Plaunt St. S., Renfrew.

Canadian Foodgrains Bank is a partnership of 15 churches and church agencies working together to end global hunger. In the 2015-16 budget year, the Foodgrains Bank provided over $43 million of assistance for over one million people in 40 countries. Canadian Foodgrains Bank projects are undertaken with matching support from the Government of Canada.

Mike McCormick and Jessica Belanger prepare for the Oct. 22 concert.

Officials warn of carfentanil dangers The Renfrew County and District Health Unit, Upper Ottawa Valley OPP, County of Renfrew Paramedic Services and Addictions Treatment Services are warning the public that there is a risk of carfentanil being mixed with other illicit drugs.

The Ottawa Police Service drug unit is advising that they have received two Health Canada Certificates of Analysis that confirmed the presence of fentanyl and carfentanil in drugs seized in Ottawa this past summer, originally believed to be heroin.

One of the submitted samples was shown to contain carfentanil; the second sample contained both carfentanil and fentanyl. There was no heroin in either sample.

“We want to stress that the best way to prevent an overdose from

happening is to not use illicit drugs,” says a health unit press release.

Dr. Cushman, acting medical officer of health for the Renfrew County and District Health Unit, urges those struggling with addiction or concerned family members of someone with a substance abuse problem to contact Addictions Treatment Service (ATS) for support at 613432-9855 or 1-800-265-0197. ATS Services are available throughout Renfrew County and District.

For more information about fentanyl and carfentanil, please visit the Ontario Poison Centre page on opioid overdose management.

For more information, please visit www.rcdhu.com or call the Renfrew County and District Health Unit info line at 1-800-267-1097 ext. 666 to speak with a nurse.

The newest Renfrew County United Way (UW) fundraising campaign is off and running.

Well, the kids holding the signs to announce the Celebration of Campaign 2017 launch were, as they helped kick off the campaign in Arnprior on Oct. 5 There were two special reasons the UW was recently in Arnprior; the first was to announce their fundraising goal of $405,000, and the second was to officially present the Arnprior Family Pre-School Resource Centre (AFPRC-Ontario Early Years) with $6,000 to set up an emergency basic needs fund to support young families.

“This campaign is about helping people right here in your community,” said Patricia Lafreniere, UW regional director, to a small group of supporters at the centre. “Renfrew County United Way is alive and funding programs in Renfrew, Arnprior and area. We are 100 per cent local, the money raised in Renfrew County stays in Renfrew County, so please support United Way of Renfrew County so we can help others.”

For 2017/2018, UW is funding 12 different organizations in the county, including a number of local projects.

Locally, some of the projects include $25,000 for Family and Children’s Services of Renfrew County to continue their program to provide safe shelter for youth who are at risk or homeless. The Robbie Dean Family Counselling Centre received $25,000 for crisis and mental health clinics throughout Renfrew County.

“In the past five years, Renfrew County United Way launches invested over a million dollars that support people in your community,” said Lafreniere.

Two new grant recipients this year are Hospice Renfrew, who received $15,000 for a family

grievance counsellor, and the AFPRC emergency fund.

“So, we decided to kick off our campaign in the Eastern region of the county here at one of those new programs,” said Lafreniere. “The reason we choose this facility for our launch is we are working here and in your community.”

Karina Dewar, program director at the AFPRC, is very thankful for the funding announcement for the new emergency fund.

“We are very grateful to help these families and we are very appreciative of the UW funding,” said Dewar. “The emergency fund is for those families who are in crisis and have needs that must be met to sustain a healthy lifestyle.”

She explained the funds would be distributed to help families with groceries, medication, diapers, formula and any other item deemed as needed in an emergency. For more information on the emergency fund, contact Dewar at 613623-8224.

Lafreniere also recognized UW workplace partners: Cathi Fairfield with Pillar5 Pharma, Shannon McLaughlin representing New Flyer Industries, and Laurent Ducom of Arnprior Aerospace.

The Renfrew Salvation Army served a delicious turkey dinner on Wednesday, Oct. 4 to a full house at the Renfrew legion. Helping to get the meal to the tables are new officers Cathy and Randy Shears.

Enter the Renfrew legion Remembrance contest Legion remembrance programs honour and commemorate men and women who died while serving our country during times of war and peace. The annual poster, literary and video contests with a remembrance theme, help focus the attention of the participants on those who gave their lives for the freedom we enjoy.

Renfrew Branch 148 is once again sponsoring a Remembrance Contest, which is open to all Canadian students in the school system including home schooled children in the local area. Information kits have been delivered to all schools in the Renfrew area, are available at the legion office and also online at www.on.legion.ca/remembrance/ youth-programs. Entries must be submitted to the Renfrew Legion by Nov. 7, 2017 for judging.

Cash prizes and certificates will be awarded for first, second and third place in the primary, junior, intermediate and senior divisions. Entries eligible for zone, district and provincial level vie for additional cash prizes and certificates. The exception to this are the entries for the Video Contest which are sent directly to Ontario Command.

Last year, the Renfrew branch received well over 200 entries for the contest and hope to have an even greater response this year. Local judging for all contests will take place close to Remembrance Day with results available soon after.

If further information is required, contact youth education chair, Jo-anne Caldwell, at joannecaldwell524@yahoo.ca or by phone at 613-432-6450.

On a separate, but related topic, the Poppy Campaign will begin at the end of October in Renfrew and will continue until Remembrance Day. The campaign raises awareness of the poppy as a symbol of remembrance. By wearing a poppy, you show your gratitude for those who gave their lives for the freedom we have today. The funds raised during the Poppy Campaign are used for a variety of needs including immediate assistance to ex-servicemen and women in need of food, shelter or medical attention, education bursaries, medical training and comforts for hospitalized veterans. Poppies can be found at many local stores and at the branch as well.

The curling season is in full gear as all leagues are now in action and many curlers have played multiple games. The ice is keen and so are the curlers.

And, turning to our young curlers, our Little Rock and junior curling programs in Renfrew, looked after by Diane Burns and Tammy Wall respectively, run every Thursday from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Children and teens from eight to 18 years old can come out and try this great sport.

The focus of the program is to help your child learn about curling, gain skills and have fun.

We have seven instructors to help out on the ice for the 20+ kids and will always welcome more. We also have a competitive prac-

tice ,which runs on Sundays from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. Curlers will also be able to compete in bonspiels and make friends for life! Although the program has started, registration is always open.

You can contact the club or see our Facebook page, Renfrew junior curling, for information and questions that you might have.

The Rookies Rock adult learn-to-curl program started Tuesday night and had 17 new curlers learning to curl. The program runs every Tuesday night at 7:30 p.m. and is looked after by experienced and patient curlers working with both stick curlers as well as conventional slide delivery curlers.

Many of the graduates of past seasons are now playing on some of our most competitive teams and greatly enjoying the curling experience. Although the program has start-

ed, registration is still open.

You can contact the club or Brian Hewitt at 432-4633.

And be sure to reserve Friday, Nov. 3 and Saturday, Nov. 4 for our next big community spiel, the third annual RVH Young professionals sponsored event.

It supports our hospital by donating proceeds to the foundation which go toward the area of the hospital that is the most in need.

Over $10,000 was raised in the last two spiels.

It is possible to play both games on Saturday rather than on both days; just let Lauren know when you sign up.

Cost is $50 per person and includes two games, Saturday dinner, prizes and music Saturday evening.

To register, email Lauren at dr.lauren. scott@gmail.com.

Get your bowl on for a bear-y good cause The sixth annual KatieBear Bowl-A-Thon is just around the corner.

“Come out for a great day and help KatieBears replenish their bear stock We found the bears now we need to raise some money to order more,” says a press release. “Arnprior people bring your Canada 150 events passport for another stamp.”

The event runs Nov. 12 at the Arnprior Bowling Centre. There will be two shifts – 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

“There’s loads of room for people to bowl.

Let us know if you are coming and what time you prefer to bowl,” says the release.

A new feature this year is that if you register by Nov. 1 your name goes in a draw for

a special prize.

There will also be a prize for highest individual pledges. All bowlers with $40 or more in pledges will receive bowling time, shoe rental, pizza, pop and a loot bag of fun stuff.

A silent auction is part of the fun.

Pigskin parade match

Tiffany Lepack/Metroland

The Renfrew Collegiate Institute Raiders faced off against the Arnprior District High School Rapids on Friday, Oct. 13, in the annual Renfrew Pigskin Parade game, which got off to a bit of a weird start as the referees did not show up for the game. After a significant delay the junior Rapids went on to defeat the Raiders 26-14. Pictured with the ball centre is Kelson Hart (77) and running with him is Carter Sammon (37). Joe Watson and Hart both had touchdowns for the Raiders and a two-point conversion was scored by Colby Bleeks. The last game of the regular season for the juniors is Oct. 19 at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre at 1 p.m. Also on Friday the senior six-man squad defeated Rideau High School from Elgin 45-0, improving their record to 2-1. Bailey Smith scored two touchdowns, Nathan Vanderwater and Taliesen Roberts had defensive touchdowns and Brock Pierce, Thomas Barber both had touchdowns and converts. The seniors are in Elgin on Oct. 19 for their next game against Rideau.

CCHL2 weekend games wrap-up TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com

The three local Central Canada Tier 2 Hockey league teams managed only two wins last weekend.

The first win came on Wednesday, Oct. 11 from the Whitewater Kings who defeated the Brockville Tikis 5-3 on the road.

It was a huge first period with both teams combining for five goals, the Kings were up 3-2 after one and added two more in the second with the Tikis only managing one, the third was scoreless.

Quinn Vanhoof and Reid Barber both had a pair for the Kings with one more coming from Chris Bourgeau.

On Thursday, the Renfrew Timberwolves did not fare any better on the road as the Casselman Vikings 4-2 defeated them.

Renfrew’s only goals came in the first period

by Andrew McIntyre and Luka Marinic.

Friday the 13th proved to be unlucky for both the Wolves and the Arnprior Packers.

The Ottawa Canadians easily beat the Wolves 7-3 at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

Scoring for Renfrew were: Nych Paquette, Alex Paquette, and Jack Rouleau. Luka Marinic had an unsuccessful penalty shot midway through the second period.

The Packers also had trouble on the road as the Westport Rideaus had the upper hand, winning 5-3.

The Packers were held off the score sheet in the first but Colin Baggio, his first of three goals, scored short handed at 1:59 of the second to get the Packers on the board.

On Saturday, the powerhouse Perth Blue Wings blew out the Kings at home 5-0.

Also on Saturday the Wolves secured their fifth win of the season over the Char-Lan Rebels 6-4.

After giving up three goals in the first period the Wolves came out strong in the second, scoring three of their own and holding the Rebels to just one. They added three more in the third.

McIntyre had the hat trick for the Wolves, with Marinic adding one; Isaac Perreault and Alex Paquette had the others.

On Sunday the Kings fell to the Winchester Hawks 5-3 and the Packers only managed one goal to the Canadians four.

It was also recently announced that Kings goalie Darian MacTavish received an honourable mentioned as goaltender of the month.

THIS WEEK On Oct. 18 the Packers travel to Brockville with an 8 p.m. puck drop; on Thursday, Oct. 19 the Kings host the Emburn Panthers in Cobden at 8 p.m.; the Wolves are on the road Friday night as they travel to face Winchester at 8:15 p.m.; on Oct. 21 the Kings host the Tikis at 7 p.m. in Cobden; and on Sunday the Timberwolves are in Richmond to face the Royals at 1:30 p.m. and the Packers play the Perth Blue Wings at the Nick Smith Centre at 7:30 p.m.

Renfrew’s Simon Rose (7) played in his first two Ontario Hockey League games over the weekend after making the North Bay Battalion roster. On Oct. 12, the defenceman hit the ice against a familiar foe, the Ottawa 67s where he had one shot on net and was a plus one. He was a healthy scratch on Saturday night but dressed against Hamilton on Oct. 15.

Twenty female students had the opportunity to try a variety of trades including welding, plumbing, electrical,

construction and heating and cooling tasks. Several women who are currently working in these trades spoke with the class to outline their experiences and answer questions. Three students shared with us what they had learned and were particularly enthusiastic about the new things they had tried and enjoyed. We may have just met a future electrician, welder and construction worker!

RCDSB strategic plan - 2017-2020 Our vision statement says it all “We will be a community of learners where curiosity, creativity, imagination and innovation are celebrated and where students are engaged to explore and discover their own pathways to success.” For more details, check out the RCDSB website or contact me for copies and more information.

The RCI Raider mascot leads the collection for the Terry Fox Foundation event on Sept. 29.

RCI Raiders active in fundraising event RAIDER REVUE

On Friday, Sept. 29, the entire student body and staff of Renfrew Collegiate Institute participated in a Terry Fox Run and Walk on Stewart Field behind the school. During third period of the afternoon, all students, many wearing orange to highlight the legacy of residential schools, donated to the Terry Fox Foundation and participated in activities with their school

House team.

RCIS held an assembly organized and run by the immersion classes.

Sadie Caccaro, Alera Stencell, Kyra Ferko and Hannah Pratt held two bake sales prior to the event. Also, on the day of the run, Chloë Gibbons, Mya Pilgrim and Makayla Whyte held a bake sale. Donations were collected for House points with House 4 beating House 3 by 50 cents. On the day of the run, students walked over to Ma Te-Way and walked and ran the fitness

The Raider mascot toured the afternoon and even participated in a ‘dance-off’ while encouraging everyone to donate and build school spirit.

According to Jade Ferguson: “Working together to build school spirit brings the best out in all of us.”

This is another example of a charitable event — a strong history for Renfrew Collegiate Institute.

Target distributions are not guaranteed and may change at any time at the discretion of the fund’s Manager. If distributions paid by the fund are greater than the performance of the fund, distributions paid may include a return of capital and an investor’s original investment will shrink.

WOMEN IN BUSINESS! Special Feature

INSIDE How to negotiate - and get a salary increase Shattering the glass ceiling Take a cue from successful women Flexible work hours improve family life Ace job interviews when switching careers Busy moms can save time making meals The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, October 19, 2017 37

WOMEN IN BUSINESS! Products/Services: We sell a little bit of almost everything. People come to us for our toy selection – it’s the only place in town to purchase brand name toys; we have an extensive greeting card selection that sells well and we have a unique “home décor” corner that I added a couple of years ago that draws customers in.

Favourite Part of the Job:

Rhonda Meisner Stedman’s V & S 375 Main St., Shawville, QC 819-647-3729

I love seeing my customers happy with their purchases and I enjoy making the store a place where people want to shop!

FAVOURITE SAYING OR BUSINESS SLOGAN? “People you know and products you trust.”

WHAT KEEPS PEOPLE COMING BACK? I’d like to think its because we give great customer service and they have a pleasant experience here.

Our mission is to treat everyone who enters the way we’d like to be treated if we were our own customers.

Busy moms can save time making meals Working mothers make up a sizable portion of the modern workforce. According to the United States Department of Labor, as of 2015 69.9 percent of mothers with children under the age of 18 were in the labor force. Things are similar in Canada, where Statistics Canada reports single-earner families made up just 27 percent of all couple families with children in 2014, a figure that was 59 percent in 1976.

While more and more mothers are returning to work after the birth of their children, that does not mean their responsibilities at home are falling by the wayside. Time-strapped working moms tasked with preparing family meals can embrace some time-saving strategies to make mealtime a little less hectic.

Whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner, preparing meals for a family can be timeconsuming. When making dinner, keep a plastic shopping bag or bowl on the counter where you can discard scraps such as the skin from onions, fat from chicken and other items that will ultimately end up in the garbage.

PRODUCTS/SERVICES: As a retired practical nurse, Linda is qualified for a wide variety of procedures. Her medi spa offers medical treatments such as skin tag removal, facial spider vein removal and light therapy, as well as providing traditional spa services such as facials, pedicures and manicures

YEARS IN BUSINESS: Opening its doors on May 17, 2007, Boutique Gwendoline has been serving customers from the Ottawa Valley and beyond for 10 1/2 years.

PRODUCTS/SERVICES: Boutique Gwendoline offers casual and special occasion attire for women who like to look good and feel great! From FDJ French Dressing for everyday wear to Joseph Ribkoff and Ursula for Mother of the Bride, we can meet the needs of women for almost every occasion. The majority of our lines are Made in Canada, and my experienced staff and I offer personalized service to each and every customer who enters our door. And because I have a well known addiction to jewelry, we have an extensive selection that will complete your look.

FAVOURITE PART OF THE JOB: Helping people feel really good whether it is through an electrolysis treatment or facial or a foot care treatment, Linda wants people feeling great when they leave her salon.

FAVOURITE PART OF THE JOB: I love finding new styles and clothing lines that are unique, yet will be timeless. Having customers come in and become excited about what we are offering every season, make all my efforts worthwhile. Plus, the fun we have when trying to find that perfect outfit, is the icing on the cake!

WHAT PRODUCT/SERVICE KEEPS PEOPLE COMING BACK FOR MORE? I believe that our personalized service is what people are seeking, and that is becoming scarce these days. We want every customer to feel special and to know that we give honest advice and opinions. We’d rather not make a sale if we can’t find the “right look” for our guest. And we let our clients know that up front - AND if we don’t have it in the store, we will find it and order it for you! We want you to “Enter as a Guest and Leave as a Friend.”

to your work area can save time during meal prep.

Another way to save time is to use a slow cooker so meals are cooking during the day while you are at work.

Chop vegetables on weekend afternoons or nights and separate ingredients into Ziploc bags or containers so all of the prep work is done ahead of time. Each morning you can simply unload the bags or containers into the slow cooker, turn it on before leaving for work and then the meal will be ready to eat by the time you and your family arrive home at night.

Many people associate online shopping with clothing and gadgets, but working moms can now buy groceries for their families online as well. Many grocery stores now offer online shopping and pickup services that allow shoppers to fill up their grocery carts before stepping foot in the store. Simply place your order online and arrange a pickup time and everything will be ready for you when you arrive at the store. This can save you the effort and time spent navigating today’s increasingly large and busy grocery stores.

WHAT PRODUCT/SERVICE KEEPS PEOPLE COMING BACK FOR MORE? People keep coming back for expert service, advice and value for service. Not to mention a hairstylist that is second to none and a local girl.

MUST TRY PRODUCT/SERVICE: Serenity provides advanced foot care to many of its clients. Caring for the feet of diabetics, seniors and anyone with severe calluses, corns and ingrown toenails. Your feet aren’t ugly; they just need a little care.

QUOTE OR SLOGAN: Complete care for body and soul

PRODUCTS/SERVICES: We are proud to offer the freshest of foods, a butcher on site to provide cuts of meat to order.

I am fortunate to have a wonderful staff who are dedicated to our customers and providing that extra special personalized service.

FAVOURITE PART OF THE JOB: I am happiest in seeing happy customers in a community that I love. The interaction with those that I work with and the valued customers in my store are definitely the hilites of my day!

WHAT PRODUCT/SERVICE KEEPS PEOPLE COMING BACK FOR MORE? All of us try to go “above and beyond” for our customers. I hope that that is what sets us apart from other grocery stores.

Joanne Dumouchel Joanne’s Valu Mart 323 Main St. Shawville, QC 819-647-2293 Mon02684@loblaw.ca

MUST TRY PRODUCT/SERVICE: The President’s Choice products are always a hit. I am very proud to offer a wide selection of local products such as Coronation Hall’s jams and jellies and Shawville’s own Art Brulant roasted coffee beans. I am always looking for local products to carry in my store.

BUSINESS WORDS TO LIVE BY: Shop Local. Supporting our community is the biggest return for your investment.

WOMEN IN BUSINESS!

How to negotiate - and get - a salary increase Salaries in the workplace have long been a hot-button issue for women.

The differences in compensation for males and females continues to draw the attention of politicians and gender equality advocates alike.

The United States Department of Labor noted that, in 2015, the median weekly earnings for full-time male workers increased by 2.2 percent from the year prior.

During that same period, female earnings increased by just 0.8 percent.

That latest data marks the third consecutive quarter that the increase in males’ earnings doubled that of females. On average, women who work full-time earn 81.1 cents for every dollar men earn.

Women aware of that unfair gap in pay may feel helpless to address it with their bosses out of fear of being seen as unappreciative or selfish. In fact,

addressing compensation makes many workers uncomfortable, regardless of their gender.

According to a salary survey from PayScale, almost 60 percent of male and female workers do not ask for a raise. Negotiating salary increases requires finesse, timing and being informed. It also requires a certain measure of gumption. Here’s how women can get the pay they deserve.

• Time it right. Many workers wait until they’ve become unsatisfied with their jobs to try to negotiate a raise, likely thinking that the higher salary will justify the stress or unhappiness they associate with their work. But workers may find it easier to discuss salary when they are happy and satisfied at work. Employers may sense your enthusiasm, and you’ll be more likely to focus on the positive rather than the negative aspects fueling your

request.

• Give yourself a confidence boost.

Going into negotiations feeling grateful to accept anything is the wrong tactic. Sell your skills to yourself first before you share them with a boss.

Make a list of why you deserve a raise and then back up those points with clear examples. Include past successful projects, your developing skill set, software experience, education, training, and anything else that boosts your résumé.

• Know your worth in advance. According to the book “Women Don’t Ask” by authors Linda Babcock and Sara Lashever, women frequently underestimate their worth, often reporting salary expectations between 3 and 32 percent lower than men for the same jobs. Find advertised positions that are similar to yours to determine the mean salary for your job, and re-

quest a salary that’s more in line with the going rate for your position.

• Don’t share why you want the raise. When discussing a potential raise, keep it about business and avoid personal reasons. You’re more likely to get the raise if you keep personal reasons (i.e. bills piling up, school expenses, family vacations) out of the mix. Maintain your professionalism during the discussion. Otherwise, you may risk losing your boss’s respect.

• Bring convincing materials. Have your “proof ” in writing or in substantiated documents. You’ll need to be as confident as possible and having the right information on hand can help seal the deal. Double- or triple-check your info before the meeting.

Negotiating raises can be nervewracking. But women should not hesitate to ask for compensation commensurate with their experience.

Dr Annie Gervais is celebrating 20 years of chiropractic in Renfrew this year! Since 1997, she has cared for patients of all ages, from babies to 97 year olds! She has helped people recover from various injuries: from sore backs to neck pain, to frozen shoulders and many other joint conditions.

Her favourite work continues with pregnant women and children, but she has treated countless patients injured at work, in car accidents, while playing sports, or simply doing tasks around the house/yard. She also now incorporates her yoga teacher training in her plan of management for patients, and finds it to be a great fit with her chiropractic practice. After 20 years, Dr Annie is proud to say she still “absolutely loves being a chiropractor�.

ders their progress and reinforces a negative image of women.

We should also ask ourselves if the glass ceiling is maintained by choice or un-consciously, and what we can do to change those attitudes.

We should ask ourselves why it is that many women end up in careers with only modest prospects and salaries, out of range of management roles and decision-making posts.

Too many companies remain insensitive to the inner conflict many working women live, especially those who are mothers and heads of single-parent families.

The solution is to move towards creating conditions that would help women reconcile their work-family responsibilities.

Women should take heart that starting a family doesn’t necessarily mean that they have to sacrifice their other dreams.

Rallying their partners and children to the quest for equality and power-sharing is certainly the best way to change attitudes and ensure that one day the glass ceiling is shattered.

The “glass ceiling� expression appeared towards the end of the 1970s and refers to the obstacles that women must surmount in order to reach the higher levels of professional hierarchies.

Even though women in the West are more highly educated and qualified than ever be-fore, we are still quite far from the principal of equal work for equal pay.

That is especially the case in other parts of the world. But we mustn’t despair.

We just have to look back at the progress made in the last decades and redouble efforts to overcome the discrimination and stereotyping in the workplace that still cast a shadow over many women.

We must stop believing that only men can embody competitiveness, ambition, charisma, combativeness, power, and authority. We must see that women bring these qualities — and more — to the workplace in a different, equally effective way.

We should look at how the glass ceiling hin-

Ace job interviews when switching careers Millions of people change careers every year.

Whereas professionals may have once worked for the same company for the majority, if not the entirety, of their careers, nowadays it’s not uncommon for men and women to change jobs several times before reaching retirement.

Changing jobs and changing careers are not necessarily the same thing. Professionals mulling a career change will have to consider a host of factors that men and women looking to change jobs may never have to contemplate.

Such factors may include returning to school and lifestyle changes designed to make living on less income more feasible. Professionals changing careers may also need to develop a strategy for handling job interviews. When changing jobs as opposed to careers, professionals can draw attention to their résumés, essentially letting their experience speak for itself. But while experience is often a feather in a job candidate’s cap, professionals changing careers may need to focus more on their futures than their pasts when interviewing for a new career.

• Draw attention to those skills that will apply to your new career. All of your experience and skills likely won’t transfer to your new career,

but that does not mean you’re going in with an empty briefcase. Make a list of your most transferable skills, and develop an interview strategy that highlights those skills and explains how they can be applied in both the near future and over the course of your new career.

• Use your contacts to your advantage. Even if much of your experience won’t transfer to your new career, your professional network might still be valuable to a prospective employer. The longer you have been working the larger your professional network likely is, so highlight those contacts in your interview and illustrate how you can put them to good use should you be hired.

• Showcase how you have adapted in the past.

Much of the business world moves at a breakneck pace. That pace has become even faster thanks to advancements in technology that routinely affect how businesses operate. Even if you have never before changed careers, that does not mean you have not adapted to change.

Everyone at some point in their lives has suffered loss. It could be in the form of divorce, death, job, health; or even a loss of trust, safely, control or faith. Yet regardless of the type of loss we all experience Grief, which is a normal reaction to loss. However, how we react to and deal with our losses will determine how well we recover. As much as we may try to talk ourselves out of our Grief or let time try to heal it, it doesn’t work. To truly heal and recover from loss we need to complete what is incomplete and that is achieved by a series of small and correct choices made by the griever.

To recover from Grief means: • Feeling better; reclaiming your health • Owning your circumstances versus your circumstances owning you • Having fond memories without the pain of regret, remorse or guilt • Knowing that is okay to feel sad and talk about your feelings regardless of what others think • Being able to forgive yourself and others • Being able to talk about your loss in a healthy way • Acquiring new skills on how to deal with loss directly How can unresolved Grief show up in our lives: • Reduced concentration • Changed eating habits • Addictions • Roller coaster of emotional energy • Unhealthy sleeping patterns • Inability to feel joy or happiness You may or may not know that recovering or not recovering from Grief has a tremendous, sometimes life-threatening impact on our overall health and sense of well being. It not only affects our lives but impacts those we love as well. We may be trying to become healthier physically yet find our results are slow or fleeting. This is why it is so important to deal with our unresolved grief if we are going to succeed in our overall emotional and physical health goals.

As a Grief Recovery Specialist Gina can offer guidance, support and a safe environment to explore your grief and take you through the steps to recovery.

WOMEN IN BUSINESS!

Take a cue from other successful career women Certain traits could help propel successful women to the top of their field

Women had another successful year in 2015. According to the Fortune 500 list, 2015 tied the record set for the highest number of female CEOs in America’s largest companies by revenue.

Twenty-four women, including Mary Barra of General Motors, Meg Whitman of Hewlett-Packard and Ginny Rometty of IBM, made the list. Although women make up 45 per cent of the labor force and only 5 per cent head Fortune 500 companies, women are making greater strides than ever before. For example, in 1998, just one woman led a Fortune 500 company, according to Pew Research Center.

Certain traits could help propel successful women to the top.

Here’s a look at some of the ways female professionals can overcome professional hurdles and make their mark.

• Be passionate about what you do. Women who maintain passion about their careers are more likely to overcome any challenges and stand out in the workplace. If your profession is not stoking any passion, explore alternate career opportunities.

• Recognize your strengths. Today’s professionals are less like-

ly than their predecessors to stick with one company or line of work for their entire working lives. But just because you change jobs or career paths does not mean your past experience is useless. Successful women know what they do best, whether it’s public speaking, writing or making sales pitches. Apply those strengths when looking for a new job or career.

• Know when to ask for help. Even the most accomplished women have limitations. Asking for help when you need it can help you overcome those limitations. To be good at what you do, you first have to learn from others. Sometimes the smartest way to overcome an obstacle is having several hands on deck to provide a boost. Thinking that the work is better left to you alone could be a mistake. Enlist help when you need it and never hesitate to ask for another perspective.

• Make time for exercise. A sluggish body can make for a sluggish mind. Successful people need to be sharp, and exercise can help them maintain their mental focus. According to John J. Ratey, Ph.D., a clinical associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard

Medical School, muscles send hormones rushing to the brain where they mix with a substance called brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF. BDNF plays a role in brain cell growth and learning. Without it, brains can’t absorb new information or grow and learn. Exercise also helps relieve stress, which can make resolutions easier to see and make tasks less overwhelming.

• Go easy on yourself. While many successful people strive for perfection, achieving perfection is unlikely, if not impossible.

Successful people often admit to being their own worst critics, but don’t beat yourself up if you endure some trial and error.

Mistakes can be a great teacher, so use any you make to your advantage.

• Don’t be afraid to take risks. Successful women are not afraid to take risks. Many may have decided they don’t fit a specific mold and want to affect change. However, calculated risks are different from reckless decisions, and it is important to recognize the difference. A calculated risk may involve starting your own business after learning the ropes in a specific field and testing

WOMEN IN BUSINESS! Flexible work hours improve family life Canadians suffering from the back-to-work blues would be happier if their employers offered a flexible working program, according to the findings in a new study.

The research analyzed a flexible workplace program by Telus, called Work Styles.

More than 2,000 team members participated in the study and researchers found that mobile and home-based workers reported that their work interfered less with their home lives and that they were less likely look for a new job than their peers who worked in an office.

“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 coauthored the study.

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

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.

“There needs to be a strong culture of trust between leaders and their employees, and in some cases management styles need to be reshaped,” Konrad explains.

“We found that Telus leaders focus less on face time in the office and more on the quality and consistency of deliverables.”

The study’s findings arrive as great news for both Canadian employers and employees, as the country’s mobile worker population is set to increase to 73 per cent of the workforce, or roughly 13.3 million mobile workers, by 2016 according to the research firm IDC Canada. newscanada.com

Alicia has just celebrated her 3-year anniversary with Metroland at the Renfrew location. “today’s media is in a transition” says Alicia. Digital media is on the forefront of new entrepreneurs’ minds. But print media still has its place, it is a very vital tool to reach a certain age demographic. One thing is certain about glossy magazines and periodicals: They’re yours forever. Hoard them, share them, lend them, or borrow them. They’re subject only to the time limits you set. Sensory experience. Studies show that we retain knowledge and experiences better through physical interaction.

In this digital world, social sharing and community. Users increasingly expect to interact with the content they consume. The goal is to draw visitors to your blog for the commenting community and entice them to stay for the articles. Your commenting system should give readers both platform and incentive to respond to and challenge both authors and one another. The result is a robust community of readers and contributors. Ad-serving flexibility. Not only can you serve multiple ads in one advertising space, but also you can employ some of the latest advertising technology, too. Digital advertising enables readers to engage with ads. Leverage that information to grow and maintain readership and attract viable revenue streams through sponsored content and ad revenues. Readership feedback. Tracking user activity isn’t the only way to refine your digital publication. Find out what they’re enjoying, what their pain points are, and frustrations they might have in accessing your material. This is valuable insight that you can use to improve content.

Insightful information brought forth on both sides. My suggestion as a multimedia representative to take advantage of both mediums why not capture both audiences and optimize your coverage.

Celebrating Small Business Horton’s Riverwood Acoustics launches new Bluetooth speakers TIFFANY LEPACK

tlepack@metroland.com

It’s more than just music to your ears.

It’s an artistic masterpiece.

Riverwood Acoustics, based in Horton, has designed and perfected their prototype Bluetooth speaker made from 100 per cent solid reclaimed riverwood from the Ottawa River.

They are holding a launch party at the Neat Music and Coffee shop on Oct. 17 and the product is going live exclusively on Indiegogo.

Scott Rathwell grew up in Haley Station and Ben Seaman grew up in Calabogie.

The two connected through their children and started working on the speakers 10 months ago.

Seaman, who is an aerospace engineer, had the idea for awhile before connecting with Rathwell, who is also an engineer with a woodworking passion.

“It’s truly a premium product made locally that is better than all the competition,” said Seaman.

HISTORY

They use historic wood that once travelled down the Ottawa River over 100 years ago and is sourced locally from LogsEnd, who ecologically reclaim the wood.

“Most speakers nowadays are black.

This is something more than just a speaker,” said Rathwell.

“It’s a piece of local history that was logged more than 100 years by families that are still in the area today … It’s a piece of furniture, it’s art.”

They use the wood and handcraft it into a unique one-of-a-kind speaker.

“You can see the grains in the wood, they are all totally different, some are light and some are dark,” said Seaman.

The wood used in the speakers is old growth timber and it grew hundreds of years ago under ideal conditions due to lower light, cooler temperatures and optimal soil conditions.

They say this resulted in a stronger, tighter and denser grain of wood compared to current cuts.

According to their website, the advantages of wood in terms of acoustics and sound are unmatched by any other material.

“It’s beautiful stuff and there is nothing like it, it’s perfect straight grain and it’s more dense,” said Rathwell.

“It’s 15 to 20 per cent more dense/stronger and it makes for better acoustics.”

“We have this speaker playing in our coffee shop and all I can say is wow,” said Mark Enright, owner of Neat, on their website. “Its sleek retro look and awesome sound is exactly what we wanted for our trendy music café.

“Its warm sound and clarity are among the best I have ever heard.

This things rocks!”

CROWDFUNDING

As to the Indiegogo launch, which is a crowdfunding website that allows people to pre-sell their product to help cover the initial setup, they hope everyone gets behind them.

“It’s cheaper and there is an early backers’ discount that helps set up the cost of manufacturing and people get that significant discount,” said Seaman.

The pre-sale price is set at $499.95 USD and their goal is to sell 100 units.

The guys are both excited for the big launch.

HOW TO START A SMALL BUSINESS Starting their own a business is a dream for many men and women. Instead of reporting to a boss and following the particular hierarchy of a company, entrepreneurs can set their own rules and hours.

But starting a business does not just involve putting an open-for-business sign in the window. It involves preparation to ensure the business succeeds and is in accordance with laws and guidelines set by the local government.

The first step in starting a business is to figure out what the business hopes to accomplish. It is a wise idea to draft a business plan that clearly states your goals and what you hope to accomplish on a daily basis. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, a business plan should include a listing of how the business will be marketed, who your expected competition will be, the names of your expected personnel, and the amount of available start-up capital at your disposal. A business plan is a good document to have and one that is often

Once the business plan has been developed, take advantage of any free training and counselling services that might be available. Such services offers strategies for a successful business, and established business owners might even participate by offering advice and answering questions. Learn from their successes and failures and when establishing your own business.

It’s also imperative that prospective business owners decide which type of legal entity their business will be.

FOWLER, JOHN

John Albert Fowler succumbed to the ravages of dementia, quietly at home on Thursday, October 12, 2017. John lived a good life with strong family ties, honest friendships, and an unbendable work ethic. He will be sorely missed by Nancy, Shawn, & Tracy, and her family Kevin, Tristan, Brody, Leighton & Riley, along with Susan and Ken, Jordana & Justin. The large extended family of Singbush’s, Maxwell’s and the Mulligan clan will have great stories of wonderful times. Friends gathered over a lifetime in Mississauga, Waterloo, Sudbury, Georgetown, Port Bruce, Toronto, Vydon Acres, Ottawa and Arnprior can attest to John’s strength of character. John was involved in many innovative banking changes over his thirty-seven years in the financial industry with CIBC. Colleagues span North America and Europe. This disease was a crushing blow, but the support of family, friends and generous neighbours along with the professional care providers helped John and his family immensely. The Dementia Society of Ottawa & Renfrew County, particularly Milton & Caitlin were gentle pillars of knowledge and strength. Dr. Andrew Frank with his staff; Dr. Michael Fishman, caring to the end; the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital staff; the LIHN (CCAC); St. Elizabeth Home Health Care and Bayshore Healthcare were invaluable during this very difficult journey. Our genuine thanks to everyone.

John will be interred in the historic Beaverton Stone Church Cemetery in a private service. In the care of the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel, 50 John Street North, Arnprior.

Some fall seasons Mother liked more than others. When it got so cold, we had to start wearing our felt slippers after supper, and the frost came early, Mother got a look of despair on her face.

Winter wouldn’t be far off, and that would mean snow, ice, and trips into Renfrew only when necessary. It would mean the small panes of glass in the windows would be frosted up, and the trees in the yard, would be as bare as badgers.

But that year, fall held off, and the warm days Mother loved, held on.

A few bright orange and red leaves still clung to the big maple tree in our backyard, but the ground around formed a soft blanket of vivid colours.

Mother loved the fall leaves, and when the warmth of a late summer hung on, she didn’t seem to mind the coming of winter so much.

That year Mother went out to the backyard under the maple tree, and choosing very carefully, the most perfectly formed, and the brightest of the coloured leaves, she brought them into the house.

She would take a slab of hard wax, which came in sheets of four or six in a box, and melt it on the back of the cook stove. The wax would have been bought for melting and then pouring into the tops of jars of relishes, pickles, jams and jellies to prevent mould from forming. The pot stayed on the reservoir to keep it from reforming into a hard mass.

All the leaves Mother had picked so carefully from the backyard were perfectly formed and with their stems still attached.

upstairs hall. And so, Mother would take two white flour bag sheets and overlap them on our old pine table, covering the checked tablecloth completely.

And in the centre she would carefully arrange the waxed maple leaves ... the larger ones in the middle and the smaller ones fanned out around them.

And I would think how clever was my mother!

And I would wait for Father’s reaction the first time the table was decorated. He saw them, all right. But it looked like he finally accepted what Mother did in the kitchen, and what she did to the table was up to her, and he actually had a bit of smile on his face. I knew, after several days of the leaves being on the table, and with the heat of the Findlay Oval, having an effect on them, the leaves would start to curl at their edges.

And it was then I knew that Father had finally accepted Mother’s idea of bringing a bit of the outdoors inside. Because he took the salt and pepper shakers, and very carefully placed them on the very edges of the leaves that were starting to curl, to keep them in shape a bit longer. Not another word was said about burning leaves.

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

They would be gently placed on a tea towel on the bake table, in order of size.

I could watch, but I couldn’t touch a leaf in case it would break. This was a job for Mother alone.

Bringing the pot of melted wax to the bake table, very carefully she would gently take one leaf at a time and dip it into the melted wax. Then each waxed leaf was put on a spread-out copy of the Renfrew Mercury, where it sat until the wax had hardened to Mother’s liking. The leaves would be used to decorate the centre of our dinner table, bringing what Mother thought was a touch of colour to an otherwise drab and ordinary place for our meals.

When she first waxed fallen leaves a few years back, Father thought it was a waste of time, and made the comment, “We burn those, you know.” But that didn’t stop Mother from doing what she did every year when fall came.

Of course, the leaves would be lost on the old red and white checked oilcloth, worn at the corners. And heaven forbid that our one and only white linen tablecloth used only for special occasions and when company came, be brought out of the trunk in the

Cruiser cash to Hospice

50 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, October 19, 2017

After a very successful season showing their cars at the Cobden Country Kitchen on Thursdays, the Cobden Cruisers recently held their last show of the season. This year, the Cruisers had held a “Catch the Ace” draw, which went the entire season without being won. On the last day, the jackpot had to go and the Cobden Cruisers portion of the jackpot, $1, 000, was donated to Hospice Renfrew. Pictured is Eric Dagg, centre, of the Cruisers presenting the cheque to Cheryl Lacroix (fourth year nursing student), Judith Gilchrist registered nurse, Sandra McGregor (hospice volunteer), Judy Cobus (manager volunteer and community development services) and Simone Howard (resident care manager).
