because you have the chance to make a positive impact on peopleĘźs well being in so many ways. That is really what attracted me to medicine in the ďŹ rst place.

Dr. Daniel Duggan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am choosing to return to Renfrew to practice medicine because of the vibrant hospital staff and the enthusiastic community members. I had the brief opportunity to train in Renfrew during my time as a medical student and had such a wonderful experience interacting with patients and staff that I knew that I would enjoy participating in care in Renfrew. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Renfrew also presents many exciting challenges,â&#x20AC;? the RAHSVĘźs newest doctor added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a diverse population with a busy emergency department, surgery, dialysis unit, day clinics, physiotherapy and sports medicine clinics, long term and palliative care facilities. 1 think that having so many great practice opportunities is very rewarding as a professional

Wilson optimistic about signing long-term lease with OPG Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Renfrew council unanimously approved rezoning of the property at 2 Innovation Drive, where the newest owner, Mac Wilson of M. Wilson Home Developments Ltd., wants to expand the commercial face of Renfrew.

But ďŹ rst Wilson is hoping long-time tenant Ontario Power Generation remains in town.

While addressing Renfrew council Monday night, Wilson said he has hired Nicole Laframboise to negotiate a long-term lease agreement with OPG. OPG has been a tenant for more than 20 years. Its current lease expires in February 2013.

Wilson, who bought the property for about $500,000 last spring, says heĘźs willing to spend $3.5 million to update the building to meet OPGĘźs needs.

A new lease would mean keeping 45 jobs in town, and the possibility of bringing up to 15 more OPG jobs to Renfrew, said Wilson.

The entire building is about 155,000 square feet, but about 100,000 square feet will be torn down and turned into green space. Much of that space will be for future commercial opportunities.

The area about to be torn down was the manufacturing section of the now-defunct Estate Hardwood Flooring plant.

Members of the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village board visited AdmastonBromley council Thursday. Vice-chair Peter Emon, centre, is flanked by fundraising chair Karen Maxwell and board member Don Eady, mayor of Horton Township.

Renfrew and Area Health Services Village ups its fundraising role Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

They got the ball rolling in 2010, and just over two years later, the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village is halfway to its goal of recruiting 14 doctors for Renfrew and area by 2014.

Renfrew native Dr. Daniel Duggan signed on the dotted line at the Admaston-Bromley Stone Road council chambers Thursday night.

Upon completion of his residency in Nov. 14, Dr. Duggan, son of Dr. Rob Duggan, will begin his family practice in Renfrew.

Members of the RAHSV, which includes Renfrew, and townships AdmastonBromley, Horton and Greater Madawaska, have been visiting each location, as well as a number of clubs and businesses, etc. to drum up financial support.

The plan is for the committee to raise $700,000 through direct appeal to individual and corporate donors in combination with various fundraising ideas. About $190,000 has been raised so far.

“This is pretty significant, considering we are still in the awareness part of our campaign,” fundraising chair Karen Maxwell said.

“Basically, we are creating healthcare jobs while maintaining healthcare jobs. Young families come here because they can get a family doctor.”

In early 2013, contact will be made with the funeral directors in the area.

The initiative will be that

The entire property is almost 15 acres, of which about 9,000 square feet of building is now leased by OPG. Demolition of the former manufacturing section could provide additional office space for OPG. “OPG wants to maintain a professional office space. And we want a beautiful standalone building,” said Laframboise.

The rezoning Monday, from light industrial to general commercial, means there would be no manufacturers on-site.

Just replacing the leaking roof in that building could cost $3 million, suggested Wilson.

“The building is falling apart, so a lot of work would

families may direct their charitable dollars toward the recruitment of doctors, Maxwell noted.

RAHSV board chair RayeAnne Briscoe said the doctor hires are also a boon to the economy.

“Every new physician to our community brings with them an economic benefit of at least $1 million dollars per year,” Briscoe said. “This is good news for our families and for our economy.”

“If you subtract the seven new doctors, the average age of the physicians presently working at Renfrew Victoria Hospital is 57,” RAHSV board vice-chair Peter Emon said.

In 2010, the RAHSV estimated one in seven residents in Renfrew, Greater Madawaska, Horton and AdmastonBromley did not have a doctor.

“We are selling the area and they (young doctors) are making a good decision to come here,” Emon added.

Horton Mayor Don Eady also noted the efforts of two past mayors in their roles in helping to get the recruitment program started.

“I think Itʼd be hard not to recognize former mayors Bob Johnston (Horton) and Sandi Heins,” Eady said.

Dr. Daniel Duggan becomes the seventh doctor recruited in the area.

Business development officer Norm Lemke updated Admaston-Bromley council on the other six: • Dr. Jennifer Arcand was the first medical student to sign on and has just finished

her final exams. She started her family in July 2012.

• Dr. Angela Varrin, who grew up in Griffith, has completed her final year of general medicine students and will take another year of specialized training in emergency care. She begins in July 2013.

• Dr. Shanti Nemani began seeing patients in October 2011 through his clinic on the third floor of RVH in cardiology and respirology. He also sees a wide range of patients with acute and chronic medical conditions.

• Dr. Jessica Bodig opened her family medical practice in January 2012. She has seen about 340 new patients. Dr. Bodigʼs speciality is in obstetrics and providing care to newly expectant mothers in the area who donʼt have an obstetrician. She provides on-call duties for deliveries at RVH. • Dr. Phillipe Pinard has been practising family medicine in Renfrew and already has more than 400 patients, and the number is growing.

Many have not had a regular family doctor in years. His area of speciality is long-term care.

He has been working closely with colleague Dr. Stephanie Langlois at Hospice Renfrew.

Dr. Pinard and Dr. Bodig were married earlier this year.

• Dr. Susan Krajewski is a general surgeon who specializes in breast cancer surgery and colon cancer surgery. She began seeing patients for consultation on May 1 of this year, and assists Dr. Lance Miller in the operation room with elective surgeries.

have to go into it,” he said.

“It is certainly important to the town, as it is to Ontario Power Generation, that they stay in the town,” said Mayor Bill Ringrose before council unanimously approved rezoning of the property.

“We applaud the applicantʼs desire to meet their (OPGʼs) needs … hopefully that will get corrected quickly, and we look forward to future proposals of some sort (for the building).”

The newly-created green space will likely become home to new commercial opportunities in Renfrew, said Wilson, who has been a developer in Renfrew for more than 40 years.

As chairman of the Renfrew Industrial Commission, added Wilson, itʼs also his job to find ways to keep or add jobs to town, and increase the

townʼs tax base.

“An effort is being made to maintain the jobs,” said Wilson.

“All in all, I think it would provide a better emphasis, more welcoming to Renfrew, if that was turned into green space and we had a lovely new OPG building all glassy, all shiny and new,” said Laframboise.

“We were pleased to hear that the building is going to be upgraded,” said Coun. Gail Cole, a member of the townʼs planning committee.

Negotiations with OPG began about four months ago.

“Itʼs coming closer (to resolution), if I may say,” said Wilson. “Weʼre excited about this whole situation.”

“Weʼre looking forward to working with OPG to give them a brand-new facility,” said Laframboise.

“Itʼs exciting anytime you can get a new physician to the community, but when itʼs somebody local, itʼs that much more special,” Penney said.

“Daniel has worked extremely hard and has demonstrated a real determination to become a physician and work in Renfrew. Our hospital and community will no doubt benefit from this work ethic.”

It was noted that Penney was also pleased that the new doctor should be able to add punch to his hockey team.

RAHSV chair Raye-Anne Briscoe, mayor of AdmastonBromley Township, also welcomed Dr. Duggan home.

“I am absolutely delighted that Daniel Duggan and his family have made a commitment to establish a family practice here in our communities,” Briscoe said. “This is good news for our families and our economy.”

Briscoe was also pleased that the RAHSV broke from its regular protocol to make the latest announcement in the home of one of its partners.

The Health Services Village includes Renfrew, and the townships of AdmastonBromley, Horton and Greater Madawaska.

RAHSV fundraising chair Karen Maxwell was also pleased to see Daniel Duggan put stakes down in Renfrew.

“Iʼm so happy and excited to be welcoming Dan back to

Renfrew. Heʼs one of the first people I met when Steve and I moved here in 1995. This is an amazing win-win scenario for both Dan and his wife to be taking the opportunity to raise their family in this wonderful ʻvillageʼ, and for Renfrew and area residents to have an opportunity to be served by such a fine future physician.”

“Itʼs fantastic that people, like Daniel, who grew up in the area, want to come back,” voiced business development officer Norm Lemke.

The Renfrew and Area Health Services Villageʼs goal is to recruit 14 doctors by 2014. They remind patients that those without a family physician to register with Health Care Connect at 1-800-445-1822.

Telethon hits target again Lucy Hass lucy.hass@metroland.com

Renfrew and area residents showed their generous spirit once again on Sunday, opening their wallets to raise almost $64,000 for Renfrewʼs Sunshine Coach transportation service.

More than 100 volunteers contributed their time and talents to the show that aired from 2 to 8 p.m. on Cogeco Television Sunday.

The eveningʼs final hosts – Sarah Freemark and Art Jamieson – were proud to be part of the community fundraiser.

Jamieson has been a host for a long time; what he describes as “a tremendous 19 years.”

And heʼs committed to the cause. “Iʼm out in the community an awful lot and I see the need. Thatʼs the biggest thing,” he said.

Dividing the coachʼs 23,000 trips per year by 365 days, Jamieson noted how well the service is used.

“The hundreds and hundreds of people that have

made those donations today have no idea how many lives they have touched,” he said.

And Jamieson hopes to do all he can to help fill that need.

“It is so rewarding to me.

I love doing it,” he said. “As long as Iʼve got a heartbeat in me, Iʼll be doing what I can.”

This was Freemarkʼs second year as a host, but her involvement dates back to childhood years when she did Irish dance or sang.

“Itʼs important to me to support local,” she said of her service at such events.

“I think a lot of the time we see the Sunshine Coach vehicles zipping around Renfrew and the surrounding areas but we donʼt really have an understanding of not only who theyʼre helping, but of how many people actually rely on it,” she said.

Thanks to people like Freemark, Jamieson and the 100plus telethon volunteers behind the scenes, the Sunshine Coach message is spreading and support is growing, to keep the wheels rolling.

Charter members honoured Ruth Aikenhead (front left) and Dorothy Cooke, charter members of the Renfrew chapter of the Canadian Federation of University Women, were honoured Saturday afternoon with life memberships. The presentations were made by CFUW Ontario Council president Brenda Robertson from North Bay, back right, and Eastern Ontario regional director Leila Metcalf. The Renfrew chapter was founded in 1957 and celebrates its 55th anniversary this year. During the fall gathering, president Barb Moogk reported a good year, highlighted by the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual book fair that funds scholarships for Renfrew Collegiate and St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic High School. Next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fall gathering will be in Ottawa.

University Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club Renfrew president Barbara Moogk, at right, is presented with a certificate marking the local groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 55th anniversary. The presentation was made by Eastern Ontario regional director Leila Metcalf.

For several years, Renfrew has issued tickets for parking violations, but without an incentive to pay those ďŹ nes.

However, thatĘźs in the process of changing, as Renfrew takes steps to penalize drivers who fail to pay the ďŹ nes issued under the Provincial Offences Act. One step was recently taken, by submitting wording on the tickets to the Ministry of Transportation for approval.

That approval is expected by the end of November, says Renfrew treasurer Keray OĘźReilly.

Another step was completed Monday at Renfrew council, with unanimous approval of a requester agreement.

This agreement, also subject to provincial government approval, will allow the town to collect outstanding parking ďŹ nes through the Provincial Offences Act system.

The agreement grants the town a licence to access vehicle plate information and send those holders notice of their ďŹ nes. Failure to pay the ďŹ nes will result in the inability to renew oneĘźs driverĘźs licence, until all outstanding ďŹ nes are paid. For those who havenĘźt been paying their ďŹ nes, treasurer OĘźReilly says the â&#x20AC;&#x153;teeth that were previously missing are on order, and there is some retroactivityâ&#x20AC;? for those who havenĘźt paid for recent ďŹ nes.

Earlier this year, the town began a one-year pilot program of no paid parking.

Shortly afterwards, Renfrew hired MLES (Municipal Law Enforcement Services) to serve as the townĘźs bylaw enforcement body.

Tickets can still be given for a wide variety of offences. These include parking: â&#x20AC;˘ for more than three hours, â&#x20AC;˘ on the wrong side of the road, â&#x20AC;˘ too close to a ďŹ re hydrant, and â&#x20AC;˘ in a handicapped parking zone without a handicappedaccess sticker.

A few of the latter have been issued, at $250 per infraction.

Renfrew adding teeth to parking

RENFREW

Steve Newman stevenewman@metroland.com

After more consideration, the Town of Renfrew has decided it will pursue solar applications for three of the four buildings originally identified as revenue sources.

Monday night, council voted unanimously, 6-0, to have the Ottawa firm of iSolara submit applications under the FIT (feed-in tariff) program overseen by the Ontario Power Authority.

Coun. Jim Miller was not in attendance.

The four buildings originally identified as solar-energy sources were the municipal hall, Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre, the water filtration plant and the Renfrew Industrial Commission building at 1 Innovation Drive.

Following a moratorium on project approvals and a reduction in revenue rates, the town is now reapplying for approval of just three

projects.

This time the town has excluded the municipal hall, because it was more problematic, because of different elevations on the roof, and potentially less profitable.

The OPA published new rates early in 2012.

Then iSolara, which had processed the previous applications, revised the feasibility reports for the four Renfrew projects.

Estimated expenses are iSolaraʼs re-processing of the applications, application fees of $1,500 each and security deposits of $14,360.

This comes to a total of $18,060.

If all three projects are approved, revenue for the town over the 20-year contracts with OPA could be more than $2 million.

Town staff say the revenue from the solar projects would be a good non-taxation source of revenue, once the infrastructure has been paid for.

Maybe fall, maybe spring for Opeongo Road reconstruction Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Repairs to the heaving and sagging section of Opeongo Road, near Airth Boulevard, may have to wait until spring.

Efforts will still be made to get the construction done this fall, says Renfrew development and works director Mike Asselin.

“Weʼre working with the contractor, but it remains to be determined,” said Asselin.

“It will likely be a spring project (especially if winter comes early).”

The item remains part of Renfrewʼs approved 2012 capital budget.

The work will be done by B.R. Fulton Construction Ltd., which submitted the lowest of three bids this month. The Renfrew companyʼs bid was $89,867, plus HST, for a total of $101,549. Thatʼs nearly $17,000 lower than the second-lowest tender.

The section of Opeongo Road, from Airth Boulevard to the crest of the hill on the edge of town, has rapidly deteriorated.

The road deteriorates in the winter and spring, resulting in heaving and cracking of the asphalt. Also, the base material drains poorly.

The project calls for a new design that features better sub-surface drainage and new granular base materials.

Flapjacks for physicians What do you get when you combine nine cases of beef and pork sausages, 35 dozen eggs, 12 bottles of maples syrup, homefries, pancakes and a heaping helping of community spirit?

A healthy community, of course. And $2,031.02 toward doctor recruitment efforts.

Saturday morning 160 people enjoyed the most important meal of the day with a dedicated team of volunteers determined to boost local health services through doctor recruitment.

The Renfrew and Area Health Services Village – which represents citizens of Renfrew, Horton, Greater Madawaska and AdmastonBromley – hosted the breakfast with all proceeds going to its doctor recruitment initiative.

The breakfast was held 8 a.m. to noon at St. Francis Xavier hall in Renfrew.

Breakfast ticket sales alone raised $1,298.

People were also invited to bring their pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, loonies and toonies to contribute to a special fundraising effort.

As Greater Madawaska mayor Peter Emon explained, “By collecting a metric mile of each coin over the next

five years, we can raise more than $200,000. Imagine a new doctor, or six of them, just for loose change.”

Saturdayʼs Metric Mile station generated $773.02.

The Metric Mile made its first stop at the Week of Giving, A Taste of German Opera, at the Castlegarth in White Lake. At that event, the Metric Mile raised $945.

Watch for the Metric Mile as its moves around the community at local doctor recruitment fundraisers.

Local entertainment was provided by Limited Edition which performed German and Valley music, Lynn Clellandʼs 4H Square Dancers, Vicky Kubiseskiʼs Highland Dancers, and Julie Larocque.

There was face painting and balloon animals for children throughout the morning.

The breakfast was one of the special Week of Giving events organized by the Health Services Village fundraising committee as part of its commitment to raising $700,000 to help recruit 14 doctors.

The Health Services Village has already recruited seven doctors and is actively pursuing seven more.

Itʼs estimated that one out of every seven persons in the four member municipalities doesnʼt have a family doctor.

Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

They can meow or bark. But if Penny, Delilah, Simon, Chance, Theo and Shelby could talk, theyĘźd tell you that many of their fellow cats or dogs would also like to have reliable homes.

Each of the above have found a foster or permanent home in the Ottawa Valley.

Meanwhile, word of mouth, ďŹ&#x201A;yers and advertisements tell you that a mountain of people continues to seek homes for cats and dogs across Renfrew County and area. Knowing that, members of the newly-formed, not-for-proďŹ t organization known as Valley Animal Rescue are reaching out to identify foster and permanent families for pet animals in need.

Since late June, VAR has found foster or permanent homes for 24 cats or dogs, in Renfrew County communities and beyond, including Orleans, Pembroke, Petawawa, Eganville, Renfrew and Arnprior. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are far too many homeless animals in the Ottawa Valley,â&#x20AC;? says VAR president Valerie Hutchinson of Douglas.With co-operation from area animal shelters, VAR continues its work while fundraising to support its efforts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We cannot pick up stray animals off the street; that is animal controlĘźs area,â&#x20AC;? stresses Hutchinson, who owns several dogs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The stray animal must go through the municipal pound system, and all efforts to ďŹ nd its owners must be exhausted before we can become involved. When, after speciďŹ ed time, no owners come forward, we can then help.â&#x20AC;?

Hutchinson says Valley Animal Rescue, with about a dozen active volunteers now, was worried about the fate of many homeless and unwanted animals. She describes the organizationĘźs volunteers as a handful of very dedicated people who donate their free time, vehicles, gas and homes to get the job done.

When necessary, VARĘźs members use their own homes as emergency foster homes. But wherever the foster homes, VAR pays for the pet food, beds, toys, leashes and similar expenses.

Adoption fees are $250 for dogs and $150 for cats. These fees cover less than 40 per cent of costs to provide veterinarian care, feed and supplies, so the remainder is raised through fundraising, says Hutchinson.

Costs include spaying or neutering, full vaccination and microchipping of all adopted animals. As fellow board member Julie Bilton of Eganville says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;WeĘźre doing everything we can with what we have.â&#x20AC;?

Also, all dogs are given a SAFER behavioural assessment, checked for parasites and groomed, including ďŹ&#x201A;ea-bathing, if required.

Another service is foster care for the pets of women and children living in womenĘźs or family shelters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most shelters donĘźt take pets, so we hope to remove the pain of leaving pets behind when families must escape abusive situations,â&#x20AC;? says Hutchinson.

Hutchinson says one of the most important aspects of VARĘźs care is the time taken to present a dog to members of a potential home. All family members need to be present, to help ensure capability with the pet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We very, very thoroughly screen families to ensure itĘźs a good match for them and for us,â&#x20AC;? says Hutchinson. Recognizing that it can be stressful on foster homes to house a pet, efforts are made to ďŹ nd permanent homes as quickly as possible.

The program has also received support from area businesses, such as Precious Pets, DahlĘźs Variety, SandyĘźs Deli, Movies and More, First Choice, and M & R Feeds. Pet supplies can be dropped off at Renfrew Pet Valu, Arnprior Pet Valu, Mill Music and RBC Renfrew. VAR is asking for such products as food for kittens, dogs and cats, cat litter, crates, animal carriers, old comforters, and dog and cat toys.

Fundraisers to support VARĘźs work will include a Sunday, Dec. 2 Christmas bazaar at the Renfrew Royal Canadian Legion, where there will be several vendors and the chance to have your petĘźs photo taken with Santa Claus.

OPINION

Your Community Newspaper

EDITORIAL

Small business the heart and soul of community spirit October is Small Business Month in Ontario, a time to celebrate all our family, friends and neighbours who work so hard to keep our town vibrant.

Renfrew and area is blessed with a wide and varied cross-section of shops and services we rely on day to day.

From mechanics and hairdressers, to shop keepers and a host of skilled trades, we salute your commitment to service.

And generosity.

This past Sunday the Renfrew Sunshine Coach telethon was another success, in large part because local businesses care.

Small Business Month may be winding to a

close, but these businesses deserve our gratitude and appreciation all year round.

Yesterday Minister of State for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario Gary Goodyear issued a news release commenting on Small Business Month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Small business: ItĘźs been called the engine that drives the Canadian economy,â&#x20AC;? Goodyear wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Canada, 98 per cent of all businesses are considered â&#x20AC;&#x153;small,â&#x20AC;? that is, employing fewer than 100 people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yet the contribution these businesses make to our economy is enormous, accounting for roughly 30 per cent of CanadaĘźs GDP and al-

most half of our private sector employment,â&#x20AC;? he wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here in southern Ontario, small businesses are just as essential to our economy and our people. They have a long and proud history of creating opportunities for our region, and they play an important role in helping our economy through difďŹ cult times,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The statistics are impressive â&#x20AC;&#x201C; something we hope is taken into account every time the federal government makes a decision that impacts local communities, particularly small rural municipalities such as our own.

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant recently announced a $4,917 federal

grant to KI Pembroke through the FedDev Ontario Eastern Ontario Development Program â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a sign, we hope, of more support to come.

But as ďŹ ercely independent people, Renfrew County residents are inclined to take the bull by the horns and help themselves.

So as we approach the holiday season â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when wallets open more easily â&#x20AC;&#x201C; think twice before you spend.

Keep your dollars as local as possible. While changes by the federal government give Canadians a wider berth to spend their money in the United States, know the steeper price that is paid when you take your money away.

Every dollar matters.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Midget players left out in the cold To the editor: The Renfrew Minor Hockey Association discriminates against house league players at the midget level, as far as IĘźm concerned.

From as far back as anyone can remember, hockey has been part of Canadian culture.

I know it has been in my family from the time my grandfather won the gold medal in the 1948 Olympic for the Canadian hockey team, to my brother joining hockey and making junior, and in just three short years.

All because everyone gets their chance to play hockey, right?

Well, not in Renfrew.

In Renfrew, (my hometown for 43 years), at the midget level, if youĘźre a house league player, forget it. YouĘźre not good enough for our league.

This year it seems we have enough players to form two midget-level teams â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one house league (so everyone can play) and one major level (ages 16 and 17 and some 15-year-olds depending on level of skill.)

Well, Renfrew Minor Hockey thinks itĘźs more important to have two rep teams and forget about the house league, as they have told our six kids theyĘźre left out in the cold; there was probably not going to be house hockey at this level.

As concerned parents, the house league parents rallied

together quickly to come up with solutions, and fast, as our league was to start within two weeks.

Our ďŹ rst proposal was to ask both rep teams to release some players so we could form our house team.

The major coach agreed to release some kids to play house, with conditions. The minor coach didnĘźt agree.

Our second proposal was to disband the minor rep team, sending most players to the house level and a few into major rep.

Our group asked for an emergency meeting with the minor hockey executive to vote on this and learned the decision was to fold the midget house team.

So we, as parents and kids that go to school in Renfrew, run businesses in Renfrew, now have to go to other towns so our kids can play hockey.

The key word here is play.

This is not the NHL. We are trying to keep our kids off the street.

During this process I got to thinking, why not cancel rep hockey in Renfrew?

It could be new executive not wanting to rock the boat or not tarnish ego.

Then it hit me, as I am about to make sure that my money is returned as a sponsor.

A house team sponsorship is $500 with no commitments and a rep team sponsorship is $1,000 a year, with a three-

year guarantee of commitment. This was just brought in new this year, to my understanding.

So thatĘźs $3,000 compared to $500. You can draw your own conclusions as I have.

Parents and kids are getting so frustrated with the decision not to do the right thing that some have just quit hockey or have taken it upon themselves to play for other towns.

It sure would be nice to see some real support, especially from some of the rep parents that were all there at one time or another or that will have kids or grandkids that will want to play hockey in the future.

It seems to be too late to turn back now, according to the executive.

And if so, at least we did enough so maybe someone could do something for kids to play hockey in the upcoming seasons. They should form a league ďŹ rst, then if enough kids sign up, then move to form a rep team.

So, to anyone out there that wants to support Renfrew minor, go ahead, but I will not.

One last thing, up until this moment I supported the campaign that we need another ice surface, but really do we, if our kids cannot use it? Do we really need one?

Stephen Harper and his lackeys have made deals with foreign governments and foreign corporations to further erase our rights, to indebt us, and to destroy our economy and our society. How many times do our politicians have to prove their corruption before the majority of Canadians wake up and smell the treason?

DonĘźt make the mistake of assuming another Party would do any better. Greece has proved the point: No matter who gets elected, they all sell their country to the corporations. And they are all willing to beat, imprison, torture and murder the citizens of their country in order to implement their treason.

Hell is being unleashed in Canada on Halloween.

Hoping it will all just go away will not save you.

Perhaps I will be arrested on a bogus charge, beaten, raped, tortured and murdered for speaking out â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like so many of the patriotic citizens in Greece, Spain, Chile, Indonesia, South America, Africa, Asia, and so on. But evil must be opposed.

The majority of Canadians have not worked for our freedom. Now, we will lose it all. I doubt there are more than a few of us with the guts to even acknowledge the situation, much less do anything about it.

Allison Azulay Renfrew

Continued from Page 8 Recently Liberal member Broten MPP said OntarioĘźs anti-bullying legislation, Bill 13, also means that Catholic schools should not be teaching that abortion is wrong because it is misogyny, which is hatred to women. Trying to force the Catholic school board to stop teaching that abortion, which is murder, is wrong, is that not a form of bullying coming from Ms. Broten and the McGuinty government? Besides, does that not go against the Freedom of Religion in the Charter of Rights?

As for misogyny, it is obviously already happening in the abortion industry, with the sex-selective abortion where male babies are preferred, and the female babies being discriminated against are destroyed.

On Sept. 26, 2012, MP Mark Warawa introduced Motion 408 which reads, â&#x20AC;&#x153;That the House of Commons condemn discrimination against females occurring through sex-selective pregnancy termination.â&#x20AC;?

Oct. 10, 2012 was declared by the United Nations as the worldĘźs ďŹ rst International Day for the Girl Child.

China and India have had for decades the sex-selective abortion, consequently there are millions of men and very few women. Thus the sex trafďŹ cking which is destroying the girlsĘź lives and eventually all who are involved.

In some countries, the shortage of women cause men to share a wife. Females are an endangered species. As abortion is an operation, the largest portion of the medical tax dollars are being spent on abortions rather than on restoring lives. On the other end of the spectrum euthanasia is rearing its ugly head. WhatĘźs in store for the elderly and disabled if this trend continues? And we are all getting older!

Will mankind become obliterated unless there are measures taken?

Isaiah 5:2: Woe to those who call evil good and good evil; Who put darkness for light and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Isaiah 1:19: If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good of the land.

To the editor: Yet again Stephen Harper is proving his treason and yet again the majority of people are deliberately remaining ignorant, or sticking their heads in the sand in hope of not being noticed by the predators all around them.

On the 31st of October a deal comes into effect â&#x20AC;&#x201D; signed by Harper â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a deal that sells Canada to foreign corporations. The FIPA, as it is called, has been made without even the token oversight usually provided by our politicians and bureaucrats.

The mainstream media, too, for the most part, has been selling us out by not alerting the public to the prime ministerĘźs treason.

On Halloween, HarperĘźs deal makes it possible for foreigners to sue our government for implementing its own laws for environmental protection, worker safety and rights, consumer safety and rights, and anything else the foreigners donĘźt like. This deal effectively negates our constitution, our basic rights as citizens, and our right to govern ourselves. The deal lets foreign judges dismiss our laws. And it allows lawsuits for billions of dollars to happen in secret. It is not surprising that Harper has been bypassing Parliament and whatĘźs left of our laws in order to force this outrage through so foreigners can plunder Canada.

Action needed on Highway 17 to prevent deaths answer. If we are serious, itʼs time we say: “We want this highway twinned and we want it started from one end to the other within the next five years or we will throw all of you out of office in the next election and we will demand that Ministry civil servants be replaced. It is time to stop dragging your feet!”

If the Ministry of Transportation can find the money (because the former premier lived in North Bay and built Highway 11 to North Bay in a short span of years), then we Valley people demand equal service, opportunity and privileges in this part of the province.

No more excuses! Enough blood has been spilt, tears shed and lives changed forever, of people all over, because of the unnecessary loss of loved ones up and down the Valley and through to North Bay. If anyone reading this doesnʼt think that we have had enough loss of life, then count the crosses and recall the deaths not marked by crosses the next time you travel TransCanada Highway 17.

Letʼs bring this carnage to an end. We have been promised four-laning since former Premier Bill Davis (Conservative) visited the Valley and when Sean Conway (Liberal) was elected the Member for Renfrew North in the 1970s.

If this letter strikes a chord with anyone, then please do your part by flooding

the local newspapers with letters to the editor in support of demanding that Highway 17 be four-laned NOW and that you will not wait for another promise from ANY politician. We want it and we want it now!

Come on folks, time to stand your ground and tell all (federal, provincial and municipal) politicians that we want them to move TODAY on four-laning TransCanada Highway 17. The plans are already drawn up but just lying around in a file in Kingston and Toronto. We donʼt need any more funerals or broken lives!

We donʼt need politicians telling us there is no money available, when millions are wasted.

The only heroes that will result from your/my letter will be those who lost their lives and the families touched by the death of their loved one who gave all of us the inspiration to write a letter to the local newspapers. May their souls rest in peace and may their deaths haunt the politicians.

Thanks for hearing me out. And now folks, if you are a concerned citizen, flood the local papers with your letters, or forever pray that your family is not touched by a road death on Federal/Provincial Highway 17.

Father Joe O’Malley Pembroke

There is so much need Without prayer, what can we achieve Let us pray to Mary our Mother And thank Her for all we receive.

Beautiful Rosary Month Let us thank Blessed Mary For the graces she sends our way In this beautiful Rosary Month of October, as we pray.

ʻTis the month of the Rosary When the beauty of Autumn is here Let us not forget Blessed Mary By praying Her Rosary far and near.

This prayer is so easy to say We can pray it each day It helps endure sorrow and strife Blessed Mary will help if we pray.

To the editor: Folks, you may find that I seem to be repeating myself throughout this letter but I do it for a reason.)

The time has come to say, enough! We have had enough deaths on TransCanada Highway 17 and it is time to four-lane it from Arnprior to North Bay. The latest death, at B-Line Road and Highway 17 at Pembroke, is the straw that broke this camelʼs back. We donʼt need any more future crosses spread up and down the Valley along 17 because of the lack of federal and provincial political willpower and leadership.

Too many people have had to suffer the loss of a loved one because of busy intersections and heavy traffic. Too many lives have been wasted because politicians (federal, provincial and local) are not saying, “Enough is enough! We want this highway built and now!”

Money is wasted on keeping political images alive by making small grants here and there, but our people suffer the loss of loved ones, because of inaction, on a Highway that is the responsibility of the federal and provincial governments.

We citizens are no longer satisfied with top-coating, filled potholes and new lights at intersections. We want this highway four-laned! It is time we Valley people no longer take “some day” for an

Birds prepare for winter food shortages

Blue Jay ready to store more sunflower seed.

RENFREW'S HISTORIC THEATRE

NORTHERN FLICKERS

SCENE FROM THE HAWKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S EYE found. Watch for these signs of food caching near your feeders.

BLACK-BACKED WOODPECKER

Sylvia and Trevor Cummins had a rare black-backed woodpecker on their property at Garden Lake.

Never common, the black-backed was seen more often during the years when our elm trees were under attack by the Dutch elm disease.

The soft wood of the dying trees was much easier for the birds to dig nesting and roosting holes and numbers of birds increased.

At the present time the birds are rare but can be found with a lot of looking in their natural habitat.

EASTERN BLUEBIRDS

Evelyn Collins had a family of eastern bluebirds return to the CollinsĘź nesting boxes. It is normal for the birds to return but what was unusual was that the birds were removing nesting material from the box and dropping it on the ground. Usually they place small amounts of nesting materials in the box during the fall.

The reason for this behaviour is not clearly understood. It is possible that the adults are having their offspring imprint on the location of the box so that when they return in the spring they will not have to search for a nesting territory. It could also be that the adults are showing the young what the nest should look like and what building materials to use. Only the bluebirds know for sure.

Terry Cunningham had ďŹ ve immature ďŹ&#x201A;ickers searching for ants on his lawn.

He noticed that the birds did not show the black moustache of the adult male or the red crescent on the back of the head, indicating that all were immature birds.

This ďŹ&#x201A;icker has been referred to as the yellow-shafted ďŹ&#x201A;icker because of the yellow wing linings, the common ďŹ&#x201A;icker, and the northern ďŹ&#x201A;icker (Taiga/eastern).

The red-shafted ďŹ&#x201A;icker so called because of the red wing linings, is a western species. The male has a red moustache and lacks the red on the back of the head. The female of both the red and yellow shafted ďŹ&#x201A;icker do not have a moustache.

A BUSY FEEDER

Don Craig had a busy feeder this week.

Nine species came in to feed. A colourful trio: evening grosbeak, cardinal and blue jay fed together, rather unusual. They were accompanied by white-crowned sparrows, immature white-crowned sparrows (brown and buff stripes), chickadees, white-breasted nuthatches, downy woodpeckers, robins and grackles. All were well fed.

WINTER PLUMAGE

The male American goldďŹ nch has moulted and is sporting his winter plumage. For half the year he is bright yellow with black wings, white wing bars and a black forehead for the other half of the year he retains his black wings and white wing bars but otherwise is yellowish-olive. They are at your feeders now.

Hoarding food for future use is one way birds prepare for winter food shortages. Seeds (sunďŹ&#x201A;ower, corn, safďŹ&#x201A;ower or millet) are hidden in tree crevices and in the ground by chickadees, nuthatches, woodpeckers and jays.

If you have your feeders out you will ďŹ nd that much of the food that is taken this time of year is stored. Chickadees and nuthatches take one seed at a time and store it under the bark or in the crevice of a tree. Woodpeckers take a single seed, ďŹ nd a hiding place in a tree and tap the seed until it is ďŹ rmly imbedded in the bark.

Blue jays store food in a hollow tree or in the ground. They will ďŹ ll their crop with seeds (up to 30) or pieces of corn, ďŹ nd a hole in a tree or a rock crevice and put the seeds inside. If the ground is not frozen they will dig a shallow hole, place the seeds inside and cover it with some soil and place a leaf on top.

All the birds will take the seeds from wherever they ďŹ nd them (often from the hiding places of other birds) and take them in their own cache. Just how much of the seed is recovered is not known or whether the birds remember where they have stashed it. Regardless, with so many birds searching for seeds and insects under the bark of trees and on the ground some or possibly all of the food will be

STEVE NEWMAN/ METROLAND

Nail artistry with Vaile’s Nails Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

The holder of a college diploma in graphic design has long had an affinity for art.

She was raised by her dad, Ron Richard, who encouraged her drawing and other artistic ways. Heʼs gone now, having died of prostate cancer in 2010, but his influence remains.

Now a married mother of two teenagers, Sandra Vaile is running a new business, Vaileʼs Nails, out of Santerrie Hair Design in Renfrew.

A self-described people person, she says sheʼs able to combine her love of people and art in the same work environment.

Nail art is growing in popularity too, so Vaileʼs using her artistic talents to offer handpainted designs. They are done with a fine paint brush and a personalized touch that requires attention to detail.

“What I call them is tattoos for your nails, but you change them frequently,” says Vaile.

The nail work can last a little longer than two weeks, depending on oneʼs activities and

what their nails are exposed to.

Vaile offers a nail manicure and nail art for $25, for both youth and adults. The combined treatment takes 60 to 90 minutes. Toe nail art is also offered, as well as professional make-up applications.

There are hundreds of designs to choose from, but clients are welcomed to bring in their own design. There are also princess packages for kids. A visiting adult is required to supervise the session that can feature up to four girls, who get their nails done and receive a princessʼs crown each.

“I recently did two girls as a gift before they went to kindergarten for the first time,” said Vaile.

Whether itʼs kids or adults, Vaileʼs manicures and nail artistry are suitable for special occasions, like pageants, birthdays, weddings and proms, or just because.

Vaileʼs Nails is open, by appointment, Saturday mornings and Monday through Friday.

The business is located at Terrie-Lynn Coulasʼs Santerrie Hair Design at 113 Renfrew Ave. East. Call 613-432-3555 for an appointment.

a wonderful flavour. A lady in her 90s, who got the recipe from her grandmother, passed it along to her friend. It ended up in the hands of an RVH auxiliary member, and Voila!

What a grand fundraiser this recipe became.

The tourtieres are now ready and selling for $13. You can order them by contacting the RVH Gift Shop at 613432-4851, extension 291, or Doris at 613-432-2448. The closing date for orders is Nov. 16. Donʼt miss out. You are in for a great palate pleaser.

The Renfrew Victoria Hospital Auxiliary has invaded the Trinity-St. Andrewʼs United Church kitchen for its annual tourtiere pie fundraiser.

The auxiliary has made hundreds of tourtieres for a

long time. The money raised will go towards the auxiliaryʼs commitment to the hospital Besides members of the auxiliary board, a contingent of angels from Calabogie came to help, bringing along their frying pans, knives, measuring cups, and added vitality and levity to the whole picture with their energy and humour.

Tourtieres are traditionally eaten at Christmas time but are good anytime if you happen to get surprise visitors.

Blaine Merchand Bromley Historical Society

The Battle of Vimy Ridge has become synonymous with Canadian achievement and sacrifice in the First World War. To mark Remembrance Day 2012, the Bromley Historical Society is pleased to host a presentation by Elizabeth Young, one of 5,000 Canadian students who took part in the ceremonies to mark the 95th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. Her talk will take place on Sunday, Nov. 4 at 2 p.m. in the old town hall, 498 Micksburg Road, Osceola.

Ms. Young is the granddaughter of Kevin and Kay OʼGorman of Osceola and the great-granddaughter of William Peter OʼGorman (18911984), a decorated war hero from Bromley Township who was with the 38th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force and who was wounded during the four-day fighting at Vimy Ridge.

At Vimy, all four divisions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force participated in the battle together. The Force showed technical and tactical innovation due to meticulous planning and extensive training.

Drawing soldiers from across the land, Vimy Ridge helped forge in the Canadian consciousness both national unity and identity.

For more than 100 years, many dedicated men and women from the former Bromley Township have served their country. Many lay down their ploughs to answer the call of duty. Some gave up their lives to ensure freedom and democracy remained stalwart in Canada and abroad. To honour these citizens, the Bromley Historical Society is compiling an album of photos and the stories of these valiant individuals. People attending the talk are encouraged to bring photos and memories of their loved ones who served in the wars Canada fought abroad.

The presentation is free and refreshments will be served.

NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND HEARING FOR AN ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION RATE CHANGE Renfrew Hydro Inc. Renfrew Hydro Inc. (“Renfrew Hydro”) has applied to the Ontario Energy Board for permission to change its delivery charges beginning May 1, 2013. The application was filed on October 1, 2012 under section 78 of the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998, S.O. 1998, c.15 (Schedule B) and the Board’s guidelines for 3rd Generation Incentive Regulation Mechanism which provides for a mechanistic and formulaic adjustment to distribution rates between cost of service applications. Renfrew Hydro’s application also includes adjustments to its revenue-to-cost ratios.

Delivery charges are one of four regular items on Residential and General Service customers’ electricity bills and vary depending on the amount of electricity consumed.

The monthly bill for a General Service customer consuming 2,000 kWh per month and having a monthly demand of less than 50 kW would increase by about $9.58.

Home Support celebrates 25 years Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support

Renfrew and Area Seniorsʼ Home Support celebrated its 25th anniversary on Saturday, Sept. 22 at the Renfrew AFAC Wing with a dinner and entertainment.

One hundred and thirty guests enjoyed a mix and mingle followed by a delicious roast beef buffet catered by Rileyʼs Catering.

Dave Bennett, president of the board of Renfrew and Area Seniorsʼ Home Support, welcomed the guests and acknowledged during this welcome that, “After spending a number of years on Horton council and then coming to this organization, I must say I am a little embarrassed that I did not get more knowledgeable about the mission of Renfrew and Area Home Support.

“Many times Chris Cobus came to ask for municipal support and many times left with less than the financial commitment the organization required for the services provided. It is therefore my message to those of you here tonight, please donʼt be like I was, please get involved and support this very much needed organization however you can.”

Bennett finished by acknowledging Carol Ann Simsonʼs contribution as president of the board for the past eight years.

Local greetings were delivered by Reeve Audrey Green (Town of Renfrew), Coun. Bob Kingsbury (Horton Township) and Coun. Ray Pender (Admaston/Bromley Township). MPP John Yakabuski brought greetings from both himself and Premier Dalton McGuinty.

Our master of ceremonies Carol Ann Flannery read greetings from MP Cheryl Gallant who was not able to be present.

Following the speeches the guests were able to enjoy music by Barry Martin and Country Favourites or try their luck at one of the nine casino tables.

Thanks to our sponsors, a fun-filled evening was enjoyed by all. Our sponsors were: Gold, Aikenheadʼs Drug Store, Ron and Marilyn Leclaire and Event Tent Rentals; Silver, Protyre, Goulet Funeral Home, MacKillican and Associates, Quail Creek, Jim Millar Insurance and Financial Services; and Bronze, Renfrew Tea Room. Thank you to everyone who took part in our celebration and we look forward to another 25 years of service to our community.

HERITAGE RENFREW

Earl Martin and Jim MacGregor with the new Heritage Renfrew equipment.

Area livestock is currently being threatened by the recent drought so the local farming community, neighbours and friends are taking up their cause.

Hay Fling 2012 is a fundraising event (concert/dance) that will be held in Almonte in the Civitan Club Hall on Saturday, Nov. 3, kicking off at 7 p.m.

The event will feature several Ottawa Valley musicians, media personalities, characters and others in an old-time community celebration.

A wholehearted display of togetherness and unified support.

Included in this event will also be other activities such as a barbecue, pie auction, silent auction and more.

Everyone involved is donating their time and talent.

This includes the donation of the hall, food, entertainers, servers, sound and light people, committee members, concerned citizens, printing and advertising.

All proceeds will pay the transportation costs of getting feed (hay) from the west to our desperate farmers here.

The Mennonite Disaster Relief Committee has graciously collected and is providing hay (free of charge) from western Canada in an

attempt to rescue the farmers in our area.

Funds are badly needed to pay the cost of transporting the feed here and so far there has been no government assistance in this crisis.

Area farmers have been forced to reduce their herd numbers as they cannot afford to feed their animals any longer.

Without immediate help more animals will have to be eliminated.

Aside from this event, other fundraising initiatives have been put in place such as the establishment of a special bank account and donation options for the public.

New equipment for research at Heritage Renfrew Renfrew food bank needs help Heritage Renfrew

Heritage Renfrew, while preserving the past for tomorrow and gathering information for research for those who are doing family history and other research, is also constantly upgrading our facility.

We are having an open house on Nov. 1 to show our new appliances to the general public, with Jim MacGregor and Earl Martin explaining how our new equipment works.

Heritage Renfrew Archives has updated our audio-visual equipment.

In order to make researching your ancestors easier and less time consuming we have purchased several new machines for reading and recording microfilm, micro fiche etc.

Our latest purchase is a Micro-Image Capture 5 which attaches to our new Valley Bytes Computer and will read microfilm 16 mm or 35 mm and microfiche. Once the selected passage is scanned it will transfer the images to a file or our new Samsung wireless laser printer.

This unit takes the place of our old Minolta Microfilm reader-printer that has become very costly to maintain and is showing itʼs age.

With this new machine it is easy to read The Renfrew Mercury from 100 years or so ago on microfilm and pick out articles or obituaries and enlarge them and print them in a clear legible text any size you desire.

We have also acquired a special Wolverine scanner that is attached to another of our

18 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, October 25, 2012

modern computers that will scan 35 mm film negatives and convert them into digital images that can be stored on DVDs. We have acquired many of the pictures taken by The Renfrew Mercury in the 1960s and 1970s before they used digital cameras and are in the process of digitizing them, so that if you wish to get a high-quality picture from an old Mercury it will be easily available.

In addition to the above mentioned new equipment we have usual microfilm and micro fiche readers.

We also have many documents, including family histories, cemetery inscriptions and births, marriages, and death records.

Drop in and see what we have and how interesting genealogy can be.

Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

With use of the Renfrew and District Food Bank up 35 per cent over last year, food bank president Doug Brookes says donations are badly needed right now.

The food bank helps more than 365 clients each month, including 100 children.

But food donations from the community have been very low in the summer and early autumn, forcing the food bank to spend $17,000 so far this year in food purchases.

That compares to about $10,000 for the first nine months in 2010.

“With Christmas just around the corner, we are asking the good people of Renfrew and area to help as best they can,” said Brookes.

“RCI (Renfrew Collegiate Institute) students will be holding a community food drive on Oct.29 but are unable to hit every household in one evening. So, if they miss you, please drop your donation at the fire hall any time of the day.”

The food most needed includes peanut butter, canned fruit, cereals and kidsʼ snacks for

Renfrew OPP issue Halloween safety tips Renfrew OPP

LIQUOR CHARGES

On Saturday Oct. 20 at about 2:30 p.m., a vehicle was stopped on Clifford Side Road

by Const. Cosmo Longo.

Open alcohol was seized from the passenger and a 33-yearold Renfrew man was issued a ticket for consuming liquor in other than a licensed establishment, residence or private place. Another traffic stop, also on Clifford Side road in McNab/Braeside Township had an officer seizing open liquor and charging the driver.

A 49-year-old Horton man was charged with consuming liquor in a place other than a licenced establishment, residence or private place. Const.

Cosmo Longo stopped the vehicle at about 12:10 p.m.

The Renfrew Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) want people to think ahead of time about safety for Halloween.

The following are some general safety tips: • Consider a costume that will not restrict the childʼs vision so that they can see what is around them such as vehicles. Choose make-up instead of a mask if possible.

• Light coloured costumes are also recommended for visibility. Use reflective tape on the front and back of a costume to increase visibility to motorists.

• Carry a flashlight to use between houses and better visibility.

• Ensure costumes fit property to prevent trips and falls.

• Young children should be accompanied by an adult.

• Older children should go out in groups of 3 or more and stay together.

Consider a cell phone for emergency calls.

• Know the route your child will be going and set a time they are required to return.

• Remind children that no treats should be consumed until they are inspected by an adult.

• Ensure children trick or treat on one side of the street and then cross

safely to the other side. Do not crisscross back and forth.

• Walk on the side walk when ever possible. If there are no side walks, then walk on the side of road facing traffic.

• Only approach houses that are lit and never enter a strangerʼs house.

• Drivers should drive with caution and be prepared to stop as children will be excited and their actions can be sudden and unpredictable.

Detachment Commander Colin Slight adds “Public safety is the core focus for the OPP. Whether we are concerned for the safety of the traveling public on the highway or for trickor-treaters, our focus of safety is the

same. It is everyoneʼs responsibility to ensure for a safe Halloween – parents through close supervision of costuming and by escorting their children from door to door and, the motoring public by being extra attentive during the evening hours.

“Halloween can be an exciting time for young trick-or-treaters and we must all contribute to making it a safe and enjoyable event.”

Should you observe any problems or suspicious activity, report it to the police immediately. 1-888-310-1122 is the number to reach the OPP communication and dispatch centre 24/7.

We hope everyone has a safe and spooky Halloween.

Victorian Tea powers seniors‘ transportation services Lucy Hass lucy.hass@metroland.com

The 2012 Community Living Victorian Tea was another resounding success, raising money this year for the Renfrew and Area Seniorsʼ Home Support Program transportation program. A long list of generous hostesses contributed to this event, tending to 20 tables.

There were also door prizes, music by the female group Just For Fun and a fashion show emceed by Valley Heritage Radio DJ Carol Ann Flannery and featuring clothes from Colleenʼs Closet on Raglan Street. The models were Sandi Heins, Irene Cameron, Winnie Stewart, Wayne Haramis, Leona Raymond, Lucy Hutchingame and daughter Sabiana and Suzanne Lachambre.

The organizers are already looking ahead to next year, with high hopes that the event can blossom to meet its original goal of becoming an even more inclusive communitywide event.

“When this tea was started, it was to raise monies for people within our community who donʼt normally get much fund-

ing for some of the awesome programs or things needed for our not-for-profit organizations,” says event organizer Gloria Tunn. “It was also good to involve our clients in the community to show some of the wonderful things they do.”

The misunderstanding that has evolved is that some people think the tea is a Community Living-only project, and Tunn sets the record straight.

“I am trying to find a way so that our whole community gets involved,” says Tunn, who welcomed any feedback

on how that goal might be achieved.

“I donʼt want Community Living to have to host most of the tables. In the end I hope we can fill the Armouries with tables from many people in our community since the tea is for our community,” she says.

The Renfrew Collegiate Raiders senior girls, right, line up next to their Arnprior Redmen rivals at the Renfrew County cross-country championships at Ma-Te-Way Park Oct. 17. The Raiders finished in a deadlock for top spot with the General Panet Panthers, which allowed RCI to successfully defend its Renfrew County championship, a stretch that has now reached 17 years. At far left is Ella Narraway of the St. Joseph’s Jaguars. In photo at right, Terance Crabtree of the St. Joseph’s Jaguars strides to the finish line on the county cross-country day’s opening event. Crabtree hit the tape in 9 minutes and 18 seconds to win the three-kilometre STARS event.

Raiders run cross-country streak to 17 years on home soil Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Engraving the Renfrew Collegiate Raiders name on the Renfrew County cross-country championship trophy has become common place.

Last Wednesday, Oct. 17 the current RCI cross-county team did it again, although this year, it was a bit closer as Petawawaʼs General Panet Panthers shared the 2012 title with them.

Thatʼs 17 consecutive years now for the Raiders. If you want the math, the streak began in 1996. A lot of things have happened since then, including the birth of many of this yearʼs team members.

Leading the way for the Raiders was John Pettigrew, who ran to victory in the junior boys

run of six kilometres with a time of 19:19, a full 22 seconds better than his nearest competitor.

RCIʼs McKinley Ripley was fourth in 21:13.

Pettigrew said running on the home front at Ma-Te-Way Park gave him a bit of an edge.

“Ya. It actually did,” he said.

“I was able to pull away around 2K (into the race).”

Saralyn Deslaurier and Carly McHenry were RCIʼs top performers in the senior girls (5K) event. Deslaurier finished sixth in 19:12 and McHenry eighth 10 seconds later.

Three Raiders finished in the top 10 among senior boys (7K). Sam Agnew was sixth, 22:44; Andrew Heaslip seventh, 22:59 and Connor Bennett 10th, 23:11.

Megan Bulmer hit the finish line in 18:30 to complete the junior girls (4K) run in fourth place. Jenika Steele was 10th in 19:21.

Janessa Linton paced the RCI contingent in the midget girls (3K) event. Linton was fourth in 14:20 while Andrea Martin was ninth in 14:48.

Jacob Collins was RCIʼs top midget boy with a ninth place finish in 17:12..

The three boys teams combined to win the boys aggregate trophy.

Terance Crabtree of the St. Josephʼs Jaguars captured the 3K STARS event in 9:18. He called it a good, fast race.

The Opeongo Wildcats were led by midget boys Ryan Afelskie and Patrick Weller. Afelskie was third in 16:32 and Weller 10th in a time of 17:43.

The weather was cool for the 2012 championship, but not bad for the runners.

RCI coaches Kathleen Mottershead and Roger Poirier were obviously pleased with

keeping the schoolʼs name back on the championship hardware.

Coach Poirier noted that it can be tough winning at home in a sport such as cross-country.

The coaches are running around keeping things organized, while the athletes also have distractions they might not face elsewhere.

“We had many positive comments from the other coaches,” Mottershead said of the meet.

Poirier thanked the Renfrew OPP for their presence on Opeongo Road during that portion of the races, as well as the staff at Ma-Te-Way Park.

He also noted that all 40-plus team members who competed at the Renfrew County championship have earned the right to compete at the Eastern Ontario high school cross-country (EOSSAA) championships in Kemptville.

They are being held today.

Series for the ages does not apply here Just for the heck of it, as long as the NHL lockout lasts, we invite you to recall some local sports stories, email us, whether they be your own personal experience, or a game you were at. It doesnʼt have to be hockey related, but must fit into this space.

We can get the ball rolling with, perhaps, the most one-sided Junior B hockey series ever played. The series came up in conversation last weekend.

In 1991, the Wolves were en route to capturing their fifth consecutive Valley Division crown, and the Car-

PETER CLARK PETER’S PUTTERINGS leton Place Kings had won something like four games all season.

They met in an opening round best-of-seven series.

The Wolves won the first three games 13-6, 11-0 and 16-2.

Game four was 9-0 after the first period, and somebody started up a hockey pool in the stands, five bucks to enter and winner-takes-all.

They were down three games to nothing in the next series before they got their act back together, just in time to beat the Goulbourn (now Stittsville) Royals in seven games.

The Wolves then discarded the Perth Blue Wings in five games to win another Valley Division title.

One other note from the Carleton Place series, Paul Cannon had two of the Kings three goals in the 26-3 game. He would be a part of the Wolvesʼ Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League championship team two years later.

Tigers roar: You might say our Canadian menʼs soccer team and the New York Yankees have something in common.

Both lost elimination games 8-1, Canada to Honduras and New York to the Detroit Tigers.

Itʼs the first time since the early 1920s that the same team ousted the Yankees from the playoffs two years in a row. That, in itself, is amazing.

As for the World Series, itʼs time Detroit wins for the first time since 1984. Tigers over the San Francisco Giants in six games.

VALLEY BYTES

The perfect end to the story would be to say that I won that pool.

Actually, Wolves statsman Jeff Rekowski won it. He had a total score of nine, and won it on the third wrap-around after Renfrewʼs 26-3 victory.

Jason McKechnie and Tyler Gordon had five goals and five assists each in that game, and Brad Steege finished up with eight points.

The Wolves outscored Carleton Place 66-11 over the four games, but the lack of a competitive opponent almost cost them.

Third-period goals lift Wolves Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

The Renfrew Timberwolves needed a win badly Sunday night in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League, and they played like it.

The Wolves battled the Valley Divisionʼs second seed Stittsville Royals to a 2-2 deadlock through 40 minutes, and then went out and won it in the third period.

A tough day for Bantam Wolves Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

It proved to be a tough day for the Renfrew Bantam Timberwolves.

The Wolves lost their opening game of the eight-team event 9-0 to the Mississippi Thunder Kings, then fell 5-4 to the Muskrat Voyageurs in overtime.

Zach Moran had two Renfrew goals, and Chase Parkinson and John Agnew the others. Carter Blimkie and Carter Atkins shared goaltending duties.

The Ottawa Sting overcame a 2-0 deficit late in the third period to win the tournament 3-2 over MTK in a shootout.

The Pembroke Kings topped Muskrat 4-1 in an all-Upper Ottawa Valley Hockey League B final.

The Novice Timberwolves downed Pembroke 5-3 on goals from Reid Greer, Chase Congdon, Luke Steele, Ryan Kelusky and Garrett Box. Angus Duchene added three assists and Owen Osborne the goaltending win.

The Atom Wolves were C champs in the Cobden tournament. The Wolves lost 4-1

to host Muskrat and 2-0 to Petawawa before topping Clarence-Rockland 4-3 on Justin Schuttʼs hat trick goal in overtime. Summer Simons and Jonathan Roach were Renfrew goalkeepers.

The Peewee Wolves doubled Valley Storm 4-2 and blanked Petawawa 4-0 behind the combined shutout goaltending of Luke Moran and Jacob Miller.

Reid Barber and Jared Burnette scored in both games, while Thomas Barber, Matthew Finan, Tyler Blackburn and Andrew MacAskill added singles.

The Minor Midget Wolves tied Pembroke 3-3 before defeated them in a second meeting 8-0.

Adam Wright had a hat trick and Billy Karras two goals in each game. Carson Barber also scored twice. Singles came from Austin Scheuneman and Auston Pierce. Patrick Bruzas posted the shutout.

The Major Midget Wolves lost games to Valley Storm and Petawawa by 2-1 and 4-3 counts.

Rory Whalen, Devin Clouthier, Jessey Chapieski and affiliate Billy Karras scored.

Travis Lemay was between the pipes.

In games this week, the Minor Midget Wolves host Petawawa Friday at 8:30 p.m.

On Saturday, the Novice Wolves take on Petawawa in a noon start at the MAC, the Atom Wolves face Muskrat at 1 p.m., and the Major Midgets challenge Arnprior at 6 p.m.

Brenan Nephin pick-pocketed Stittsville netminder Karsten Pankhurst behind the net with 9:51 left while killing a penalty, and stuffed the puck into the open side of the net before Royals defenders could respond. Drew Anderson added insurance when he solved Pankhurst with 38 seconds remaining.

The Wolves jumped in

front 1-0 on an early powerplay when Casey Doner scored, but the Royals tied it, and then took the lead in the second period on goals from Kevin Groulx and veteran Matt Kadolph on a powerplay.

Kurtis Leclaire pulled the Wolves even two minutes later when he converted a Sean Kyte feed at 11:40 of the middle stanza.

The Wolves held a 41-24 shots on goal edge, including 15-6 in the third period.

Matt Gagne backstopped the win, which allows the Wolves to improve to 4-6-0and-1 while avoiding the Valley Division basement.

PERTH 3, WOLVES 2

The Wolves outshot the Perth Blue Wings 43-33, but couldnʼt pull out a closelyfought battle in the Lanark County town Friday night.

Brett Madigan snapped a

2-2 deadlock by scoring his second goal of the night with 10:38 remaining.

Dylan Scott had the first Blue Wings marker.

Casey Doner gave the Wolves a 1-0 edge in the opening period, and Drew Anderson scored in his Timberwolf debut to tie the game about eight minutes before Madiganʼs winner.

Matt Gagne handled goaltending duties for the Wolves.

Jeremy Wright backstopped the Blue Wings and also received credit for an assist on the winning goal.

The Wolves donʼt play a home game until Friday, Nov. 2 when they host the Ottawa West Golden Knights of the Metro Division at 8 p.m.

In-between are a couple of road games, at the Barbara Ann Scott Arena versus Ottawa West at 7:20 p.m. tonight, and Sunday at Clarence Creek for a 2:15 p.m. face-off with the Beavers.

Participating in the wrestling clinic conducted by two-time Canadian Olympian Martine Dugrenier, in front row from left, are Dugrenier, Petr Prokopiev and John Yeats; and back row, Ben Bliss, Alex Moore, Francis Carter and Sam Barmish.

Olympian Dugrenier conducts clinics for Renfrew wrestlers basketball, weights, biking, etc.

Grant Lavallee RAWC Director

This past Saturday and Sunday, two-time Olympian Martine Dugrenier conducted a clinic at the Renfrew Recreation Centre for local wrestling athletes.

Dugrenier, who practises out of Montreal and is a twotime world champion, has visited Renfrew a number of times. She brought six of her clubʼs wrestlers this time to assist in the clinic.

A true champion, Martine had injured her shoulder a year and a half ago, yet was able to win the Canadian championships, the International Olympic Qualifiers and placed fifth in the London Olympics while only able to use one arm. This speaks to how special she really is.

Martine is awaiting shoulder surgery in November.

Martine brought six of her younger teammates, all 13 to 16 years of age. Each has an almost casual tone when they tell you that they practise twice per day six days per week. They are on the wrestling mat three times per week but will supplement their training with swimming,

DEDICATION

One of the six, Ben Bliss, stood out in the group as he lives with his family in Vermont and drives three hours three times per week to attend the Montreal practices.

What really hit the Renfrew group was that he was up and on the road at 3 a.m. to make it to Montreal in time to catch a ride to Renfrew to attend the clinic.

Then itʼs another threehour drive back to Montreal, and three more hours home.

Twenty-plus local wrestlers benefitted from Dugrenierʼs expertise over the two days.

It was a fantastic opportunity for local wrestlers to have such a high-caliber Olympian to teach technique, drills and share parts of her journey of how she reached her great achievements.

Using many simple games, she was able to build on the technique required to perform basic and advanced wrestling moves safely. She repeatedly emphasized that the basic moves she was teaching and learned at the lower level were

the same moves she used in the world championships and Olympic Games. Repetition and refinement are necessary and take time to perfect.

Dugrenier emphasized the need to look for solutions to problems and to continue to build a larger bag of techniques and options for competition.

Each athlete needs to write down small goals, not just the big one, as it will take too long to arrive at the large ones.

“If you lose rounds by six points, your small goal may be to lose only by five points,” she said.

Parents who observed were very impressed with how well everyone listened to Martine, noting they themselves learned a great deal from watching and listening.

Renfrew wrestlers routinely drive to take in a practice with the Montreal club and together are planning a larger clinic in December where a number of other high-caliber wrestlers will assist Martine.

Meanwhile, the local team returns to practice, attempting to perfect some of the technique taught this weekend and preparing to enter the competitive season.

Janet Springer (1339) of Haley Station continues her 9 Run Run half-marathon alongside several Renfrew County supporters wearing Move It For Mark t-shirts. They were in recognition of her son, Mark, who committed suicide a year earlier. Participants ran three, 10 or 21 kilometres in the annual emergency services run in Stittsville last Saturday.

9 Run Run becomes a WOW event John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

9 RUN RUN became 9 WOW WOW last Saturday.

It was a WOW event because of Mother Nature who, despite forecasts of rainy conditions, produced an ideal glorious sunny fall day.

Mother Nature is obviously a supporter of Do-It-For-Daron and the Royal Ottawaʼs youth mental health initiatives, recipients of the funds raised in this third annual 9 RUN RUN event organized by the city of Ottawaʼs fire, police and paramedic emergency services.

But it was a WOW event because of so much more.

Seeing a giant – and we mean really big – Canada flag waving in the breeze high above the start/finish line for the half-marathon and 10K race events couldnʼt help but impress.

Two Ottawa Fire Services ladder trucks were employed to serve as the flagpole holding this giant flag high in the air at the start/finish line which was on Abbott Street just west of Carberry Drive.

And it was a WOW just from the numbers registered – over 1,800 in total with 763 in the 10K, 637 in the half-marathon and 402 in the 3K Family Fun Run. Participants ranged

from over 80 to as young as one year old. They came not only from Ottawa and the area but from New York State, British Columbia, Quebec and Manitoba.

RENFREW COUNTY

Among the participants was a huge contingent of over 70 from the Renfrew area who wore orange Move It For Mark t-shirts in memory of Mark Springer, an area youth who committed suicide exactly a year ago to the very day.

Move It For Mark has raised over $10,000 this year to combat youth suicide and they took part in this yearʼs 9 RUN RUN en masse to support Do-It-For-Daron and the Royal Ottawaʼs youth mental health work.

And there were other groups participating – Team Fire (71 firefighters registered to run), Team Paramedic (64 paramedics were registered to run), Team Police (66 police were registered), Team Algonquin (emergency services program students) and more.

And it was WOW from an organizational standpoint, thanks to race director Brenda Tirrell and her team of organizers and volunteers. There were over 175 volunteers who helped with the event – staff-

ing stations along the race routes, helping with the start and finish of races, looking after a volunteer check-in station, answering queries and more – all while wearing their stand-out yellow t-shirts.

And there was lots to eat and drink for the participants – McDonaldʼs coffee, chili from Scrumptious Creative Catering and BBQʼd hamburgers thanks to Rick Hobbs, assisted by a team of volunteers who served a steady stream of hungry participants from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., all in exchange for a donation to the cause.

Start-finish line announcer George Von Jagow was not only able to send the runners in the half-marathon and 10K races away with the observation “Itʼs a great day for a 9 RUN RUN.” Thanks to technology, including the tags worn by each participant which identified them on a computer screen just before they reached the finish line, he welcomed runners back to the finish line by name, congratulating them on their effort – all a nice touch, keeping a personal aspect to this ever-growing event.

Mark White of Nepean was among the last to finish in the half-marathon, in 2 hours, 44 minutes 49 seconds.

9 Run Run Continued from Page 27

But for White, this 9 RUN RUN was about far more than just ďŹ nishing or even competing. He took part as a way of thanking the Ottawa emergency services personnel for what they did two years ago

On the run-run

when he and four of his cycling friends were struck and injured by a vehicle on March Road in Kanata. He met many of these emergency services personnel prior to the race and thanked them for their efforts on that day. WOW! Another of the half marathon runners was Alan Rushforth of Nepean who completed the course in 2:51:31 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not bad for someone who is 80 years old.

Rushforth, who perhaps now is better known as the creator of a hand-made street organ which he has played in Stittsville, most recently outside the Gaia Java Coffee shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre, ran in the Boston Marathon in 2008 as the oldest Canadian in the event.

WOW! And imagine the coincidence that bib number 911 in this 9 RUN RUN event happened to be worn by a hometown Stittsville runner, Kathryn Coyle, who completed the half-marathon in a time 2:28:21. WOW! ItĘźs these and other little individual stories that give 9 RUN RUN its unique ďŹ&#x201A;avour. WOW! There was the foursome â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Alex Martin, Mark McLean, Tracy StanleyMartin and Christine Lacroix â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from the Running Room in Kanata who were there at the start line, cheering on their Running Room friends who were taking part in the half marathon. They held up signs as they urged on their running colleagues. And there at the start line, playing as the runners left, were members of the Ottawa Police pipe band.

And at the start line of the 3K Family Run Run, which happened along the Trans Canada Trail from Sacred Heart High School to Village Square Park

and back, one could not forget the Do-It-For-Daron focus of the event thanks to the presence of four girls dressed in purple full length body suits, each with a letter on their front, spelling out D.I.F.D. as they gathered together. The four â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Quinn Murphy, Ludivine Blais, Jessica Perigo and Dior Carley â&#x20AC;&#x201C; had acquired the purple body suits for Halloween last year, wearing them to raise awareness of Do-It-ForDaron. They led the warm-up exercises for the 3K Family Fun Run. WOW! And so much more! Ottawa Fire Services inspectors and chiefs, all decked out in their ďŹ nest dress uniforms, were at the ďŹ nish line to congratulate and hand out the medals to the half marathon and 10K run ďŹ nishers. Rotary Club of Ottawa â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Stittsville members were at Sacred Heart, handing out balloons to youngsters while a face painter in their company transformed the faces of many a youngster throughout the morning. A WOW moment for each of them!

9 RUN RUN was a WOW moment for Cameron Caughey of Stittsville and Ryan Leaf of Ottawa. Cameron was the ďŹ rst ďŹ nisher in the 10K run in a time of 37 minutes, 33 seconds. Ryan was the top ďŹ nisher in the half marathon with a time of one hour, 19 minutes and 14 seconds.

And the biggest WOW of all is that while there is no ďŹ nal fundraising total yet, due to outstanding bills yet to be received, race director Brenda Tirrell is conďŹ dent the ďŹ nal total will be more than last year when 9 RUN RUN raised $25,911.11 in support of DIFD and the Royal OttawaĘźs youth mental health awareness study and early intervention research project. WOW! WOW!

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beat the

Cross-town rivals collide Ryan Moriarity (12) and Joel Ferguson (6) of the Renfrew Collegiate Raiders look to generate some offence against the blocking of St. Joseph’s Jaguars Ed Fougere, left, and Ryan McNulty in Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association senior boys volleyball action at the Jaguars gymnasium Oct. 18. St. Joseph’s claimed the match in three sets.

PETER CLARK/METROLAND

Raiders’ junior girls improve record to 6-0 the Carleton Place Golden Bears Oct. 16, coupled with results elsewhere, eliminated the Junior Raiders from postseason contention.

The Junior Raiders completed their season at 3-and-4 following a 21-9 setback to the visiting St. Johnʼs Spartans Friday afternoon.

The game did had a positive finish for RCI. Alex Bechamp ran in from about 10 yards out for RCIʼs lone major in the final 30 seconds.

Quarterback Billy Karras threw to Austin Scheuneman

for a two-point conversion.

Phil Kadlec booted a single point in the third quarter.

The Upper Ottawa Valley (UOV) Ringette Association is extremely honoured to be receiving an award for 25 years of ringette in the Ontario Ringette Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For UOV to receive this recognition proves that a lot of good, dedicated people have contributed to making this a great organization over the past 25 years,â&#x20AC;? UOVRA president Shane Lambert said.

The moment he joined the organization, Lambert saw some outstanding people in it.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I must admit, I saw it coming,â&#x20AC;? he observed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Renfrew and the surrounding area are very lucky to have a group of people that show continuous dedication which includes hours of extra behind the scenes work that a lot of people donĘźt see and that is on top of all the time we as parents spend at the rink. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to acknowledge the past and present executives that have contributed to the ďŹ rst 25 years. I am earnestly grateful to be a part of an association and thankful for the great work that has been done in those 25 years.â&#x20AC;?

Energized atmosphere to start season Andy Sklepowicz Behind the Glass

Curling is now in full gear and all leagues are running. It is good to see so many new faces and people who have been away from curling enjoying themselves so much.

Even the long-time curlers seem to have an extra bit of energy to their game. The ice is running fast with some good curl to it and hopefully the last leak has been repaired. What could be better than this as the skies turn greyer and the golf clubs are being put away.

The club has been a busy place this past week, not only with regular-league curling, but also with the club hosting the ďŹ rst round of the Dominion Club Championships over the weekend. Eight menĘźs teams and ďŹ ve womenĘźs teams took to the ice to declare A and B winners who then move on to regional play-downs Our guests complimented the club for its great ice, incredible food, and warm and friendly atmosphere. Those of us who have beneďŹ tted for years already knew this but it is always nice to have it conďŹ rmed by visitors from other areas.

Now if we could only have more people volunteer their time to lighten the load for everyone. A few hours given of your time and you will ďŹ nd that itĘźs actually fun. Plus you get to sample what the club provides to our guests.

ThatĘźs hard to beat!

Members quite often ask when they can get practice time at our busy club. Since all of our leagues usually have a sheet available, just contact the draw master or drop in and you should be able to throw rocks to your heartĘźs content.

I have also learned a few things from curling so far this year: â&#x20AC;˘ no matter how much you prepare for the season you still canĘźt ďŹ nd all your stuff before the ďŹ rst game; â&#x20AC;˘ you are going to be sore for a couple of weeks. This pain is directly proportional to your age, how many extra pounds youĘźve put on over the summer and how well you learn the next point; â&#x20AC;˘ water is a lot easier to dive into when its above zero Celsius; â&#x20AC;˘ curling is the only time you can throw rocks at your spouse and he or she will only yell at you if you miss!

“And I want to also thank the countless kids that play this great sport,” the president was quick to add.

“Without them, none of this would be possible.Recognition is always a good thing, but we hope to get better every year, and to make ringette in the Ottawa Valley a great experience for the girls who enjoy playing this exciting sport. I look forward to the next 25 years!”

The UOV Tween C team defeated Clarence-Rockland 6-3 and 8-2 Saturday.

Erica Mosseau had five goals and Abigail Schwan and Emma Kluke three each over the two games.

Carolyn Wytenburg, Jordan Benedict and Kaelyn McGrimmon added singles.

Lauryn Atkins collected five assists and Emma Kluke three.

Katie Belsher and Carolyn Wytenburg both earned a goaltending victory.

Cold, wet weather put a damper on the Oct. 14 morning’s walk-, run- and rideathon for the Renfrew County Therapeutic Riding Program. But program coordinator Keryl Banks of Northcote said it has still been a successful first year for the program. Participants in Sunday’s event at Northcote’s Victory Farm included riders Pat MacIsaac and Kim Sheppard with five-year-old mares from Willy’s Ranch in Pembroke. From left are Meredith with MacIsaac, Banks, and Piper with Sheppard.

Looking forward to sophomore season in 2013 steve.newman@metroland.com

Keryl Banks got to live a dream when she started the Renfrew County Therapeutic Riding Program this season.

She began the program after previous involvement, as a certified instructor, with the Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program.

The local program, which is focused on providing equestrian opportunities for physically and/or developmentally challenged adults, had six students this summer-fall season. Participants included one

blind student.

The 2013 season will have at least twice that number, and a growing number of volunteers, said coordinator Banks, who runs the program out of her Victory Farm in Northcote.

With the help of Ottawa Valley businesses and individuals, Banks built a riding ring and program tailored to the studentsʼ needs. She also used her own two horses, Wylie and Mischief, for the adult students, but next year hopes to have four to six horses available.

“I have some funds for pur-

chasing horses, but they have to be 15 hands and preferably geldings,” said Banks.

Sheʼs looking for horses that might come to the program on loan or for a nominal price.

The 2012 therapeutic riding programʼs season concluded Oct. 14 with the walk, run and rideathon.

Six walkers and six riders took part, helping to raise an estimated total of $2,500. This money will go for development of the program.

Nanci Fraser-Lines of Renfrew won the saddle, valued at $1,700, as the top fundraiser.

She raised $1,025, which included funds left over from the now defunct Renfrew Pony Club.

Banks hopes to open the 2013 season in May. For more details, contact her at 1-613720-7477.

Area’s storytelling tradition to touch down in Burnstown Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

ALAN DEAN

Internationally-renowned storyteller Stephanie Bénéteau of Montreal will open 2 women productions’ story-telling series at Burnstown’s Neat Café. She presents The Wind and the Moon: Tales of Power and Passion on Thursday, Nov. 1.

Barney McCaffrey, Joan Finnigan and Mary Cook are just three examples of the rich storytelling tradition that has lived on in the Ottawa Valley.

Performances that honour that tradition comes to Renfrew County with three visits to Burnstownʼs Neat Café by 2 women productions.

The company is run by Taylor Lake (Lanark County) residents Jennifer Cayley and Jan Andrews, who kick off the series Thursday, Nov. 1 with internationally-renowned storyteller Stephanie Bénéteau of Montreal.

The second stop is Feb. 9, when Jan Gregory, also of Montreal, presents Ask No Questions: Family Secrets.

The third stop is April 20 with Cayley and Andrews on stage, along with Ottawaʼs Gail Anglin and Ellis Lynn Deschenes, to present Homerʼs Odyssey.

Storytelling tradition continues with 2 women productions weaving of sensual, subtle and witty stories from across the world. The stories takes the

audience on a journey with an intriguing assortment of heroes and heroines.

Storytellers Jennifer Cayley, left, and Jan Andrews of 2 women productions.

The Montreal storytellerĘźs diverse sources include The Arabian Nights and traditional stories from the Chinese and First Nations, as she explores how the struggles between men and women must be overcome if love is to become a transformational experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The stories are erotic, rather than erotica,â&#x20AC;? says BĂŠnĂŠteau. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am drawn to the material for its grace, playfulness and poetry.â&#x20AC;?

Advance tickets for the three 7:30 p.m. performances in Burnstown are available from www.ticketsplease.ca for $18, or $20 at the door.

Cayley and Andrews, both storytellers for 20 years or more, call Neat CafĂŠ a wonderful venue that is found where they like it to be found, in an area where artists regularly perform.

ItĘźs only been the last few hundred years that the impact of storytelling took a smaller role in society, with the advent of the printing press, computers and the Internet.

But thatĘźs no reason to shelve the rich tradition of storytelling, says Cayley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Telling stories was the way people told things. It was just how they shared things, sharing their history, their morality â&#x20AC;Ś and the Ottawa Valley has an extremely rich heritage in that regard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But fewer and fewer people are sitting down to tell their stories, and fewer and fewer are sitting down to listen to them.â&#x20AC;?

Hence, 2 women productions is now entering its third full season. The 2012-13 campaign brings 2 women productions to Neat CafĂŠ for the ďŹ rst time, and return visits to Perth, WakeďŹ eld and Peterborough.

Andrews and Cayley â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who have also performed in Australia, Great Britain and the United States â&#x20AC;&#x201D; say that many people recognize storytelling as an entertainment for children. But they say they have experienced over and over again how a well-told and compelling story moves and delights an adult audience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the story is a good one and the teller skilled and passionate,â&#x20AC;? says Cayley, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the hard wiring we all have for narrative brings the listener an experience that will not soon be forgotten.â&#x20AC;?

Supplies sent to drought-stricken west from Renfrew OCTOBER 25, 1912

OLGA LEWIS

ANONYMOUS LETTER: Just a few days before the Leitch estate sale an anonymous letter reached a gentleman supposed to be a government official suggesting that some of the cattle to be sold were suffering from tubercular disease. The executors of the estate, hearing of this, at once arranged to have a test made. The report on the point had not been received by the time of the sale, but all sales were made subject to it. It has since been received, and is to the effect that the cattle were alright.

business of Mr. Syd Jennings, in Renfrew, Mr. Jennings having already considerable interests in Ottawa which are to be enlarged there, as well as other interests in Renfrew that combined take up a good deal of his attention. He will retain an interest in the business with Messrs. Crook and McPhail. Both are young men. The new comers will be known as the Jennings Painting and Decorating Company.

RETURNED FROM WEST: Messrs. Leonard Crook and Alex McPhail, who a year or so ago went west, and had established themselves in business in Moose Jaw, returned this week to Renfrew.

It is likely they could become possessed of a large store in the painting and decorating

CARLOAD OF FOOD AND CLOTHING SENT TO WEST FROM RENFREW: A big CPR freight car, packed to the roof, left Renfrew a few days ago for Cardross in Southern Saskatchewan carrying out a consignment of vegetables and other eatables, along with clothing to people

FROM THE OLD FILES

OCTOBER 21, 1937

in drought-stricken regions.

Churches of all denominations united to pack the car.

For example there were 610 bags of potatoes. There were also other vegetables, including beans, barley and peas.

At the same time there were apples, honey and canned goods. Magazines were there too. People of the town and townships joined forces, manifesting a marked liberality. That carload of food and clothing will lighten the burdens of winter to a no small number of Westerners.

GASOLINE AND OIL FIRES IN DEMONSTRATION: The folly of attempting to fight gasoline and oil fires with water was demonstrated on ground opposite the Donohue Garage on Thursday afternoon last. The audience, smaller one than the Renfrew fire brigade had hoped for, saw that water but scattered such fires and that a certain preparation given a trade

name imparted a quietas to the flames at once. The public by bulletin had been invited to attend. From here the demonstrator, who acts as agent for the company manufacturing the preparation went to Arnprior.

RR 1 are entered in the market livestock class.

The two Arnprior entries are Sandy Crest Holsteins, RR 1, who is showing dairy Holsteins, and Balmenoch RR 1, who is showing Shorthorns and Hereford in the beef classes.

OCTOBER 26, 1977 FARMERS IN ROYAL: Several local farms are exhibiting agricultural products in the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto, Nov. 11 to 19.

The six Renfrew exhibitors are the most from this area.

All but one of the exhibitors are showing beef products. C.R. Wilkins of 151 Quarry Ave. E. is showing maple products. James Miller RR 1 and G.A. Verch RR3 are competing in the shorthorn beef competitions while Alex and Maron Weir, 176 Cross St. and M and M farms and Westburn Hamilton, RR 5 are entered in the Hereford competition , Maple Hill Farms

REEVES COMING TO RENFREW: Renfrew will be honored with the presence of 34 county reeves Thursday night. The reeves are coming to attend the annual Wardenʼs

banquet at Renfrew Legion Hall. The banquet is customarily put on by the outgoing warden who for 1977 is Horton Reeve Tom Smith. The two reeves contesting for his job in 1978, Petawawa Reeve Norman Behnke and Barryʼs Bay Reeve Hilary Jones, are expected to do some politicking that evening.

Heritage Renfrew is having an Open House

Stone Fence Theatre adds Oct. 27 matinee of Schoolhouse an inspiring show (at the Eagleʼs Nest in Eganville). The script will become a Canadian classic, the interpretation by our director (Chantal Elie-Sernoskie of Barryʼs Bay) and cast is wonderful, and our production is full of Ottawa Valley touches and flavour that make this production one of the best this play has ever had.”

Written by Leanna Brodie, School-

house is a play about one-room schools and the importance of great teachers, especially for students like the outcast ʻtraining schoolʼ boy who struggles against intolerance when sent to a certain rural Ontario school in 1938.

EDUCATION

Your Community Newspaper

Behind the scenes Jaguar Journal

Behind the scenes at St. Joeʼs, an army of dedicated students work together for the benefit of the student body.

The student council is led

by Prime Minister Breigh Whalen. She works closely with teacher supervisor Alana Hamel, the executive council, and homeroom representatives to organize activities and events at the school.

Executive ministers take care of specific tasks, concerning school spirit, pastoral activities, athletic events, public relations, secretarial duties and fundraising.

The spirit ministers run dances, schedule spirit days and spirit weeks, and use their creativity and humour to get the student body involved in activities around the school.

Currently, they are planning the annual winter semi-formal dance.

The pastoral ministry organized Pro-Life week and Silent Day last week. They are responsible for scheduling of upcoming school masses. Every Friday at lunch, the rosary is prayed in the chapel for all

those wishing to have a little quiet time.

The athletic ministry takes care of any sports tournaments, pep rallies and games played at our school. This year, EOSSAA events, including junior volleyball and soccer will be coordinated by the athletic ministry. They also organize Jaguar clothing and uniforms. To raise money for new uniforms and equipment, the committee fundraises on spirit days all year round.

The public relations team connects the school with community. This column, the Jaguar Journal, is written and edited by the public relations team. A monthly school newspaper is also published, and the Facebook page, Twitter feed and website are updated often.

For these students, the chance to get involved is something they are very much interested in. It is an opportunity to be a leader, make a change and become a role model. The involvement of students in the school is crucial to a successful year. Without student council, many of this yearʼs highly anticipated events could not happen.

Students in Dianne Kennedy’s hairstyling and esthetics class at Renfrew Collegiate Institute were thinking pink and raised $140 in the fight against breast cancer. Students had pink streaks put in their hair in support of the cause. Ray Beimers, president of the Renfrew Chapter of the Canadian Cancer Society, receives the big cheque from, in front row from left, Dianne Kennedy, Angel Smith, Tori Chevrier, Jess Storie, Lindsay Stevens, Tiffany Wright, Jessica Cox, Shayla Bertrand and Cheylynn Quinlan; and back row, Morgan Bahm, Daisy Brown, Kelsey Lambert, Hannah Yolkowskie, Emily Switzer-Hill, Cheyanne Arbuthnot, Kyra Cram, Jaz Simons, Ashley McGillis, Hayley McHale and Kayla Riddell.

If roses grow in Heaven, Lord, please pick a bunch for us, Place them in our Mother’s arms, And tell her they’re from us, Tell her we love and miss Her And when she turns to smile, Place a kiss upon her cheek and hold Her for awhile Remembering Her is easy, We do it every day, But, there’s an ache within our hearts That will never go away.

Love you forever Helen & family

All you need to do is spend three hours selling daffodils or canvassing door to door, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be helping us fund research to help more Canadians survive cancer. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a powerful thing.

Three hours for you, a lifetime to a cancer survivor.

Stantec staffers roll up their sleeves for Camp Smitty More than 30 Stantec employees pitched in to revitalize Camp Smitty last month.

The camp for disadvantaged youth, which is operated by the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa, is located on Mink Lake Road, just outside Eganville.

The Sept. 17 activity included painting, clearing of brush and general manual labour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to ensure that Camp Smitty stays in top shape and continues to provide an exceptional camping experience for young people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; many of whom wouldnĘźt otherwise be able to attend camp,â&#x20AC;? said Francois Lauzon, the organizer of MondayĘźs event.

Stantec has worked with the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa for seven years and raises funds to improve Camp Smitty through the annual Stantec Hockey Tournament.

To date, Stantec has raised more than $90,000 for the charity and donated $50,000 in pro bono engineering support to the camp.

Camp Smitty is named after Brian Smith, a CTV Ottawa sportscaster and former National Hockey League player, to commemorate his contributions to the Ottawa community.

Smith was killed in 1995.

He attended the camp (then called Camp Minwassin) as a 13-year-old and later as a counsellor.
