The good ‘ol hockey game

Hockey season is in full swing in Renfrew and Oct. 20 was the perfect night for minor hockey players wearing their sweaters to get in free to the Central Canada Tier 1 Hockey League game between Kanata and Cornwall at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. Among the young players in attendance are, from left, Mackenzie Earle, Isaac Stewart, Bo Stevenson and Jake McLeod. The boys play for the Renfrew Timberwolves peewee team. The next Lasers game in Renfrew is Nov. 18 at 7:30 p.m. versus the Carleton Place Canadians. It was a special night for Cobden native Jack Quinn who suited up for the Lasers. See page 21.

Volunteers plan Tom Sidney benefit dance Oct. 28 Tiffany Lepack tlepack@metroland.com

The community continues to rally around Renfrew Coun. Tom Sidney after an accident on Sept. 1 left him badly injured.

Volunteers, family and friends are helping to organize a benefit dance for him on Oct. 28 from 8 p.m.-midnight.

Cost is $10 per person at the door, which includes music by DJ Paul Manwell, a 50/50 draw, a silent auction and a light lunch. Emily Drew, Tom’s sister-in-law, is one of the many

involved in making the event possible.

“I don’t know when he will be discharged but this will sure help them,” said Drew. “There will be a bar, DJ, so it should be a good time. Hopefully there will be a good turnout.”

Drew says Sidney is doing well and his mobility is definitely improving.

As to why people should support Sidney and his wife during this difficult time: “He is like the essence of this community and I hope anyone would do it for someone else,” said Drew.

Sidney is receiving treatment with the rehabilitation team at the Ottawa

General Hospital after the accident that left him with little to no movement in his arms and his legs.

According to his wife Shelly, Tom has come up with a new saying: “Gratitude determines your attitude and your attitude sets your altitude.”

They are both very thankful for all of the support. “The outpouring and ongoing support we have received both emotionally and financially is truly a blessing!” Shelly explained via an electronic message. “Our town is quite loving and positive. The people continue to surprise us with positive

thoughts, prayers and compassion!”

Shelly says they are both very thankful for the support they are receiving from the residents of Renfrew.

“We are beyond grateful to have Renfrew by our side through all of this,” said Shelly.

Silent auction items include Calabogie Peaks overnight accommodations with a $100 gift certificate and golf for four at Whitetail Golf Club.

Drew is still looking for silent auction items and selling tickets. For more information, she can be reached at drew0029@live.ca.

The Douglas Lions Club announced last week it would not be hosting a Santa Claus parade this year. “Our float entries have decreased the last couple of years and we don’t have the volunteer help that is required to make a successful parade,” said a Facebook statement.

“After lengthy discussion, it has been decided that we will try something new.”

This year, instead of the parade, they will be sponsoring a Christmas children’s fun day on Sunday, Dec. 17 from 1 to 4 p.m. at St. Michael’s Catholic School in Douglas.

The day will include free hotdogs and drinks, a bouncy castle and a visit from the snow queen Elsa. “We will have lots of activities for the kids to do as well as a colouring contest and face-painting. Santa will also be there to give each child a treat bag.”

They will also have the stage decorated for family photo-ops. The event is free, however they are asking people to bring food items that they would have collected on the parade route. Follow ‘Douglas Lions Club’ on Facebook for more info.

OPP lay charges in break-ins Tiffany Lepack tlepack@metroland.com

Renfrew Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have laid charges against and released the names of four adults they arrested on Oct. 17 in a string of break-ins.

The accused, all from Renfrew, are Andrew K. MacDonald, 25, Brandon D. Thomson, 29, Jacob N. Thomson, 22 and Alisha Thomson, 20.

Officers from the Renfrew detachment of the OPP arrested the four adults and recovered a large quantity of stolen property on Tuesday, Oct. 17. Charges were laid and police expect to solve numerous break-and-enter investigations after executing a search warrant in Renfrew.

Are all facing charges of: • Break and enter with intent to commit an indictable offence (two counts); • Break and enter and commit an indictable offence; • Wearing a disguise while committing an offence (two counts); • Possession of break-in instruments (three counts); and • Mischief under $5,000 (three counts).

Andrew Macdonald and Alisha Thomson are also facing two counts of possession of a schedule 1 drug. Brandon Thomson and Alisha Thomson are facing an additional charge of wearing a disguise while committing an offence.

Alisha Thomson was released on a promise to appear in court Dec. 18. The other accused were remanded in custody for a bail hearing on Oct. 20.

A search warrant was executed and the arrests were made on George Avenue in Renfrew.

The police expect these arrests to solve numerous break and enter investigations.

Const. Janice Sawbridge confirms the break and enters started in early August.

“It was a large number,” said Sawbridge.

“There were certain days we were investigating eight in one day.” On other days there were not a lot of cases to investigate but damage was also notable.

Police were also able to collect physical evidence but processing it took time.

“In some of the break and enters significant Tiffany Lepack/Metroland damage was done and some of it was just sense- An Ontario Provincial Police cruiser is parked outside of a residence on George Avenue less,” said Sawbridge. “The number of break in Renfrew. On Oct. 17, police executed a search warrant in the area, which resulted in and enters had us very frustrated. We are quite four people being arrested after numerous local break and enters . relieved we were able to gather the information for a warrant.”

She could not specifically confirm which locations were involved in the break and enters Commercial Office Space for Lease but the press release says they occurred in many Renfrew County Place areas. The townships hardest hit were Greater 450 O’Brien Road, Renfrew Madawaska and Admaston/Bromley.

The police also recouped a large quantity of stolen property.

“We have recovered a large amount of stolen items,” said Sawbridge. “We know sometimes The County of Renfrew has 2,576 square feet of commercial office space people don’t call us if a shed or the hunt camp available for lease beginning February 1, 2018 is broken into, if they haven’t reported it we encourage people to report it.”

Police seek more victims involved in underwear thefts The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is interested in hearing from anyone who may have been a victim of theft where their underwear was stolen. Police have seized a number of bras and panties after a search of an accused’s home in Renfrew.

The accused was initially charged in September when a victim brought evidence to the police showing the accused breaking into their home and stealing underwear. He was charged and released on a promise to appear in court.

A second victim came forward again providing evidence showing the accused broke into their home and stole underwear. A search warrant was obtained and a quantity of bras and panties was seized. Police believe this has been occurring for a number of years. If you believe you have been a victim of theft call the OPP in Renfrew at 1-888310-1122.

The accused is a 61-year-old male of Admaston Bromley Township. He has also recently lived in Renfrew, and prior to that in the Douglas area of Admaston Bromley Township. The accused was charged with two counts of break and enter and commit an indictable offence, and six counts of possession of property obtained by crime.

He was held for bail and released on a recognizance with conditions.

The OPP reminds all members of the public to consider their safety at all times. Secure your home when you are away and consider installing an alarm system. Install motion sensor lights and use timers inside your home for lights and radios or TV’s. For more information on SafeGuard Ontario, a property security program, go to www. opp.ca

Renfrew completes successful emergency planning exercise Tiffany Lepack tlepack@metroland.com

Numerous officials gathered on Oct. 16 at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre for a mock tabletop emergency.

Coun. Kate Windle, chair of the fire and emergency management committee, organized the exercise with over two-dozen officials from various groups attending.

The last training session similar to this was completed in Renfrew two years ago.

“It’s vital that we do these exercises,” said Windle. “To know where we are supposed to go and what we are supposed to do and how we do it in an emergency.”

The Town of Renfrew last updated its Emergency Management Plan in 2015 and it’s mandated to review the policy every year.

Windle thought her team performed very well during the exercise.

“I would give my team a nine out of 10,” said Windle. “They showed up, did their homework and the new plan will be out soon because there is always room for improvement.”

The scenario that activated the emergency plan was an exhibitor at the Renfrew Fair, from Bonnechere Valley, who had a cow suspected of a foreign animal disease.

Due to the nature of the emergency, officials from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency as well as the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs were also called in for the exercise.

“The town, provincial, county and federal agencies were all involved,” said Windle.

“This was the first time in Ren-

On Oct. 16 numerous officials gathered at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre for the Municipal Emergency Exercise, gathered in front of the town maps and holding the current Emergency Plan are: Const. Janice Sawbridge, Lane Cleroux, engineering technician, development and works and alternate emergency management coordinator with the Town of Renfrew, Coun. Kate Windle, chair of the fire and emergency management committee, Renfrew Mayor Don Eady, Steve Osipenko, Renfrew County Paramedic/Horton emergency management coordinator and Renfrew Fire Chief Guy Longtin, emergency management coordinator.

Steve Osipenko, Renfrew County Paramedic/Horton emergency management coordinator presents Lane Cleroux, engineering technician, development and works and alternate emergency management coordinator with the Town of Renfrew a token of appreciation for his work during the Horton flooding earlier this year during the emergency planning exercise on Oct. 16.

frew an exercise like this had been done (with so many agencies).”

Windle says she learned a lot from the exercise.

“What I learned is how beneficial an exercise like this is for the corporation with everyone included,” she said. Windle admits they did make at least two mistakes during the exercise.

“We should have had our actual

emergency (tables) set up and ready to go; we need to design an emergency operating centre,” said Windle.

“We knew what to do but we weren’t performing our jobs within the exercise.” During the event, Steve Osipenko, Renfrew County Paramedic and Horton emergency management co-ordinator, presented Lane Cleroux, engineering technician, development and works and alternate

emergency management co-ordinator with the Town of Renfrew, a token of appreciation, on behalf of Horton Township for his work during the flooding earlier this year.

“I presented him a gift for his selfless work during the spring flooding,” said Osipenko in a statement.

“His hard work and ability to bring people together should be commended. He also acted as a liaison

Algonquin Pembroke Campus has 40 staff affected by college strike Tiffany Lepack tlepack@metroland.com

School’s out for close to half-a-million college students in Ontario, including the 1,000 students at the Algonquin College campus in Pembroke.

Approximately 40 full-time partial load faculty from Pembroke campus are affected by the strike.

The strike involves more than 12,000 professors and staff at the 24 colleges in Ontario.

The labour dispute started on Oct. 16 after the final offer from the Ontario Public Service Employees Union bargaining team was declined by the college employer council.

“On Oct. 14, we presented council with a streamlined offer that represented what faculty consider to be the bare minimum we need to ensure quality education for students and treat contract faculty fairly,” said JP Hornick, chair of the union bargaining team in a release.

“We carefully crafted a proposal that responded to council’s concerns about costs in a fair and reasonable way.”

On Thursday, Oct. 19 Algonquin College president Cheryl Jensen visited the Pembroke campus to meet with students and staff.

“I think things are going as well as can be

expected,” said Jensen from the cafeteria with students.

“It’s not as busy as it would normally be as you can imagine but inside things are happening.”

Students are able to access the gym and unsupervised labs are open, as are other areas that are not faculty supervised. As to the mood on campus after visiting with students and the picket lines: “Everyone would rather be in class - I think that’s true of everyone.

The students seem to managing OK, I can see them here working and laughing and we are managing questions from students and making sure we are answering them,” said Jensen.

“On the picket line faculty wish they were inside but I think they are coping pretty well.”

She is confident the strike will end but was unsure as to when it would come to a close. She has a clear message to the students affected by the work stoppage.

“Stay up with your studies, do as much work as you can, get together to study with classmates, keep your spirits up so you are ready to hit the ground running when this ends and it will end,” said Jensen.

“Their material for courses on their learning management system has resources there they

can read and that is going to be important, so we don’t lose a step when we start up again.”

On Oct. 18 the school put out a memo that the students’ academic year will not be lengthened and they will adjust it to make sure that they finish their learning outcomes on time.

“That could change if the strike goes on,”

said Jensen.

The school also announced it is cancelling the fall convocation set for Oct. 25 to 28 and is inviting students to the spring ceremony.

The college has created an information website at www.algonquincollege.com/strikeinfo.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Delivering precious cargo With the recent arrival of National School Bus Safety Week, it is disconcerting to read OPP releases about there having been several recent reports of motorists failing to stop for flashing red lights.

Although dash cams and similar devices are becoming more common and would help with efforts to investigate incidents and lay charges, that will not provide a quick fix for the ongoing problem associated with drivers who don’t seem to notice or care about how their behaviour is putting lives at risk.

A fine of $400 plus six demerit points for a first conviction might, to some extent, serve as a deterrent.

Having the fine doubled if the infraction occurs in a community safety zone might also help discourage drivers from taking the chance. Knowing that the local constabulary is probably making more of an effort at this time of year to enforce school bus rules of the road is also something motorists should consider. Unfortunately,

there can’t be a cruiser on every block during those weekday morning and afternoon pickup and drop-off periods.

According to the Ontario School Bus Association, there are more than 18,000 professional drivers whose job it is to safeguard more than 825,000 elementary and secondary students — about two-fifths of the province’s total school population.

Parents rely on those professionals to ensure that children are transported to and from their homes safely five times a week, 10 months a year. Apparently, it adds up to in excess of 2 million kilometres of driving every day.

Is it too much for all the other drivers on the road to do their part by being aware of their surroundings and to stop when a school bus is flashing its red lights and extending its stop arm as youngsters await to climb aboard or exit the vehicle? It shouldn’t be.

“Help keep our children safe,” note the OPP. “Pay attention!”

Local MP Cheryl Gallant should be constructive, not destructive To the editor:

The following is a letter sent to Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant.

Retail workers who are poorly paid, will not have to pay taxes on employee discounts. Once again you are misleading your constituents with false information! You headline your information to cause fear and scandal.

You seem to think that many folks may only read the headline so you get them worked up. Funding the Prime Minister’s next vacation? What does that mean? Do you think that taxes go directly into his pocket? To your

former boss and all members of parliament? That is what you implied by your hysterical headline.

You know that our tax system needs to be reworked. The bill is not yet passed. It is still in the consultation stage. There will always be trial balloons and leaks. It is not yet written in stone. Have you not learned anything from all those years in the House? Perhaps you would prefer changes buried in an omnibus bill introduced late in the week and no discussion allowed, before quick passage since that is what you were used to. No government is perfect, but the present one has decreased taxes on lower wage earners

and increased them on higher wage earners. Families no longer have to pay taxes on their child benefits and it is prorated so that those who need it most, get more and those who need it less get less or none at all! An attempt is being made to close the loopholes available to the 1%. In almost two years, not all off the damage to our economy can be repaired, but we are going in the right direction and surpassing other G-7 countries. Unemployment is down and employment is up. While I have your attention, your recent communique was off the mark! As a climate change denier, you cannot understand that we are already

Final thanks and farewell from Terry Fox Run organizers To the editor,

We’d like to express our appreciation to Renfrew and area for an extremely successful 2017 Terry Fox Run in Renfrew.

The run day total of $17,300, with more to come from school events, is an incredible contribution to this very worthwhile cause.

The run’s success is not only attributed to the participants on run day, but to the many volunteers and organizations who ensure the day runs smoothly.

We are grateful for the media coverage by Metroland and my FM, TF Custom Signs and Scott’s Hardware for updating and displaying our ban-

ner, Ottawa Valley Physiotherapy for providing a stretch session, the Lions Club for offering refreshments and Jim Millar, from Sunlife, for providing a free barbecue lunch to participants.

As this is our last year as organizers we thank Renfrew and area for your annual support.

We have spoken with a few people interested in taking over the role of organizer; so we are optimistic that Terry’s dream will continue to be alive in Renfrew for years to come.

Tanya Campbell and Sheena Pilgrim Renfrew Terry Fox Run organizers

Valley Animal Rescue is seeking a volunteer Cat Coordinator to focus on cat and kittens both feral and domesticated which come to our organization. You must have excellent administrative skills, be highly organized and be diligent at meeting deadlines. You will be liaising by phone, text, email and social media to a wide group of people. But most of all you must love CATS!

Members of the Renfrew Art Guild will be having November’s meeting at a much larger venue than even TrinitySt. Andrew’s. While the guild usually meets on the first Tuesday of every month, this excursion will take place on Thursday, Nov. 9 at the National Gallery. Gallery visits are a great way to learn and be inspired by viewing art in the well-lit and generous space of a gallery.

Position Responsibilities • You would be the first person to evaluate a cat/kitten and what its immediate need would be as far as vetting is concerned. We do have guidelines in place for domesticated cats and feral cats. Most feral and semi feral cats must be trapped to bring to the vet which is a very difficult task most of the time. You would have an assistant help you in the feral cat colonies.

• You are responsible for making appointments with the vet for evaluation and shots. When they are old enough they must be spayed/neutered and if they are going to be rehomed they will be microchipped during the surgery. You must keep record of all cats/kitten’s records to ensure all follow up shots are done when required. You must ensure that all vet work is carried out and provide information to foster parents and Foster Coordinator about vet work required and schedule dates.

• You must work with the Foster Coordinator for placement of these animals within foster homes or in pet store towers. The Foster Coordinator is responsible for the foster family placement and follow up. The Foster Coordinator and Cat Coordinator must provide the foster family with instructions of home care of cat’s example after surgery or administration of medicines.

• You are responsible in arranging the transportation of these animals to the vet appointments and foster homes or pet stores. We do have a volunteer list to transport animals when required.

• Check in with the Foster Coordinator on the health, socialization and behaviour of their foster cat/kitten.

Behaviour monitoring forms are to be filled out by the fosters and kept in the cat/kittens file.

• Prepare documentation when required on the cats/kittens which is pertinent in them finding their forever home and adoption.

• On adoption copies of the vaccination records and sterilization certificate must be sent to the adopter. The change of ownership form must be filled out and sent to the adopter. The microchip is also updated.

For some animals, showing age is a good thing Michael Runtz Nature’s Way

It seems our species is obsessed with aging. But not in the view that we look forward to it, rather in how we can avoid it. Plastic surgeons, beauticians, nutritionists, and others have become rich because of our desire to maintain a youthful appearance.

Fortunately our wild neighbours have far more serious considerations to occupy their time. Their goals are straightforward: to find sufficient food, survive harsh environmental conditions, escape danger, and pass on their genes. None appear to have the desire and certainly the ability to retain their youthful appearance.

While we try to hide our age, some animals want to reveal it. Cedar wax-

wings, a rather common bird that loves mountain-ash berries and other fruit, has name-giving, red adornments on a few of its wing feathers. But only those birds that are two years old or older sport them. Ring-billed gulls, those white rascals that pester people at chip wagons, take three years to gain their immaculate white plumage and black wing tips with white pearls.

Bull moose do not display impressive antlers in their first year of life; most take at least six years before their headgear brings gasps of admiration from human viewers.

So why do some animals go through a change in appearance to reflect their age? The reason involves their chances of reproducing. Many female animals prefer a mate who is mature rather than young. Older means that the inMichael Runtz dividual was able to survive for more It will be two year before this young Cedar Waxwing acquires its red, name-giving, waxy adornments on its

wing feathers.

than one year, being able to find adequate food and survive environmental stresses during that time. Young males, especially those only one year old, haven’t proven themselves to be survivors and may well possess inferior genetic material that would be passed on to the female’s young.

While moose may take up to 7 years to reveal their peak of maturity to discriminating females, most birds don’t live long and so maturity for them comes at an earlier age. One of our longest-lived birds is the Bald Eagle, which on average lives 20 years, with

38 years apparently being the record.

This majestic bird usually does not acquire its contrasting white head and tail, and dark brown (nearly black) body plumage until its fifth year. It starts off with a blotchy brown and white plumage, and goes through a series of changes until its fourth year, when a white head and tail with dusky tones appear.

In earlier plumages, young bald eagles are often mistaken for golden eagles, which are rare visitors to our area from mid-November until late winter.

There is little size difference between

the two, so the best way to tell them apart involves the golden nape of a golden eagle, as well is its smaller head and bill (half that of a bald eagle) and its habit of soaring on tilted wings (a dihedral) like a turkey vulture (balds soar on flat wings).

If for some animals, baldness is a sign of maturity, perhaps there is hope for me yet!

GRAND ROUNDS Showcase of local fashion and talent It wasn’t your typical fashion show.

In her welcoming remarks at the Fall Fashion Extravaganza last Friday evening, RVHF Director Barb Desilets said the informal, interactive event was a way to show off the stylish clothing available in our own back yard.

“However, tonight is also about music, friends and fun,” she added.

Local musician Julie Larocque opened the night with her beautiful version of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah. Also performing were The Taylor Family (featuring RVH’s own Laura Culligan), Katie Harper, Mary Etmanski and Rachelle O’Neill.

Keeping Company – Ella’s owner Lisa Vincent shared a few tips and trends for the season before a parade of models walked

through the crowded GEM Hall showing off everything from leisure wear to formal bridal gowns.

All fashions were provided by downtown Renfrew merchants: Pick-It-Fence, The Shoe Lounge, Dash of Fab, Scott’s Shoes, Chanto & Co, Heartsong Yoga, and Ella’s.

Desilets noted that since October is breast cancer awareness month, proceeds from the night were being directed to breast cancer programming at RVH. “On behalf of the Foundation, we want to give special thanks to all of the local businesses for their support, the models and volunteers, and to everyone who attended for continuing to support women’s health initiatives here in our community,” she concluded.

St. Joe’s pledges two-year fundraising commitment to Hospice Renfrew Tiffany Lepack tlepack@metroland.com

One step at a time the students at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School in Renfrew are supporting Hospice Renfrew. On Oct. 13, the school held an assembly to officially kick off the new charity

of choice for the school over the next two years: Hospice Renfrew.

The school also held their own mini-Hike For Hospice, which raised more than $1,300.

The students heard from Judy Cobus, manager volunteer and community development services and board member Leo Hall.

Hall emphasized that the Hospice gave his

family more time with his mother.

“Thank you for supporting Hospice,” Hall told the high students. “You are taking a stand … every dollar to Hospice needs to be done by fundraising and you are now in that economic corner.”

Principal Brennan Trainor challenged the students to remember this assembly for the next two years.

“This matters,” said Trainor. “You want to stop and think what you can do from here on.”

He went on to explain that in today’s society teenagers are often labelled a selfish generation.

“This is our time to prove this wrong,” said Trainor. “What can we do, something small that

can contribute to the larger pool. This is part of our mission as a church … this is something that is bigger than us.”

Many classrooms challenged others to raise money for the first fundraising initiative. The student council also showed a video from a recent tour of Hospice Renfrew.

Over the last two years the school has supported the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Foundation and raised more than $26,000. Hospice Renfrew, is located in Renfrew, but serves all of Renfrew County and is a six-bed residential palliative care home.

arme (bass), and Brian Ostrom (steel guitar), along with Maureen Young (keyboards), and Mark Lemieux (drums).

They will be backing up a deep and talented field of singers who will each perform two songs in the finals. They are: Jeanika Benoit (Arnprior), Jamie Anne Bentz (Arnprior), Vicki Brittle (Arnprior), Grace Cavanagh (Kinburn), Beverley Cutmore (Renfrew), Levi Hart (Bristol), Lori MacKenzie (Renfrew), Ainsley Phillips (Arnprior), Bailey Rogers (Renfrew), and Tiffany Schilkie (Chalk River).

The judges for the finals are three Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Famers in Gord Barnes, Kelli Trottier and Neville Wells.

Marshall is also grateful for the support of major sponsor Welch LLP from Renfrew, who are responsible for the great prize package of $3,500 for first, and $1,000 for runner-up.

The public is encouraged to attend the show which starts at 3 o’clock, on Sunday, October 29th at the Horton Community Centre (1005 Castleford Rd.).

Doors open at 2 p.m., and seating is limited, so people are asked to get there early to secure their spot. Admission is $10.

For more information, contact Jason at 613432-9873.

Roxeen & Dalrymple at Batstone’s Oct. 28 On Saturday, Oct. 28, Roxeen & Dalrymple, bring their perfect blend of tradition and distinctive homegrown sound to Renfew and Batstone’s Northern Ramble.

Nova Scotia’s Roxeen & Dalrymple may be the province’s newest acoustic act, however, they are far from being new on the music scene.

Originally teamed together 25 years ago as band mates of the legendary Spinney Brothers, a life of separate musical paths has brought them back together. Roxeen & Dalrymple is a classic guitar and mandolin duet, a tour de force of vocals, rhythm and traditional melodies.

Individually the duo consists of Roxeen Roberts and Gary Dalrymple. Collectively they are highly respected, veteran musicians with impressive musical resumes.

They are multiple East Coast Music Awards (ECMAs) nominees, Maritime Gospel Music awards (MGMA) nominees, and have won numerous Eastern Canadian Bluegrass Music Awards (ECBMAs). They have toured coast to

coast in Canada and the United States and now, after careers of extensive travel and performing and recording, the duo couldn’t be more excited as to where they have landed musically.

As Roxeen Roberts recently noted, “we honestly love and cherish the classic sounds of traditional bluegrass, country and gospel music.”

They honour the music of the past yet embrace the present through their own originality.

Gary Dalrymple stated, “we both grew up on the sounds of Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs, Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton etc, you know, the good stuff.

It is this style of music that we are so excited to be performing. Our show includes many of the standards, however, expect to hear some of our own material, songs of course, that are heavily influenced by the music we were raised on”.

Music on Oct. 28 will start at 8 p.m., with doors opening at 7.

If you’re a fan of Ottawa Valley music, then the Horton Community Centre is the place to be on Sunday, Oct. 29 as 10 of the area’s top singers will be competing in the finals of Valley Heritage Radio’s ‘Valley Search for a Star’ contest.

The month-long singing competition wraps up on the 29th, as a field of 40 has been whittled down to the final 10 contestants who are vying for the coveted title, and the grand prize of $3,500.

“Promoting local music, and sharing that music with people in the Ottawa Valley and beyond is high on our priority list,” says VHR station manager Jason Marshall. “This contest is an ideal way to showcase the amazing musical talent we have right in our own backyard.”

The finals will also feature something new for the contest, as the 10 singers will not be alone on stage. They’ll be performing with the Hall of Fame band, who will back up each of the contestants.

“This is a new wrinkle this year, and one we think will make the finals not only exciting, but an event local music fans won’t want to miss,” adds Marshall.

The band will feature Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Famers Brian Hebert (fiddle), Rodger Coulombe (guitar), Dale “Duke” Duch-

“It’s a wonderful service that is needed everywhere.”

John Yakabuski, MPP for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, was among those on hand at the Renfrew and District Food Bank recently for Ontario Association of Food Banks (OAFB) second annual Great Food Sort.

“Thank you to all the volunteers for all you do to help the less fortunate,” said Yakabuski.

The event was held during Hunger Awareness Week in September and was also an open house to help the organization show off recent acquisitions made possible through a grant from the Walmart Foundation and Food Banks Canada.

“It was designated to improve food banks’ facilities,” explained volunteer Valery Stewart. “With it we replaced shelves, purchased appliances, improved our sink area and painted walls.”

The food bank was created in 1988 and its goals are to provide an adequate emergency food supply to all clients and be an integral part of the local community.

There continues to be a strong need in Renfrew and area.

As of Sept. 22 of this year: 34 % of clients are 18 and under; 8 % are 1924; 17 % are 25-35; 19 % are 36-50; 13 % are 51-59 and 9 % are 60 and over.

Most recent statistics indicate 15 new families have come in over July, August and September. Male adults

served number 316, female adults 358 and children 305.

Stewart provided comments from clients and volunteers that underscore the importance of the service.

Clients said: “While waiting for disability (ODSP) I am on OW and the food bank has been a life saver for me. Everyone is friendly and supportive. I am so grateful for the service.”

“It helps me so I can pay hydro, it helps so much. I know I can get through the month with food for my daughter.”

Volunteers said: “Initially I hoped to broaden my world, to help others within my own community who were struggling, not others that although in need, were half a world away. That was 1988.

Today in 2017, I am still involved. I like that we have, over time, learned to treat our clients with much more dignity and respect. I like that I have met a different circle of people, now friends, who are volunteers with the food bank. I’m proud that our town is so supportive of our food bank, readily helping others in need.”

“The food bank has opened my eyes to the plight of the poor in our community. Some have physical disabilities, but others are working mostly part-time and just can’t keep ahead of the bills. The food bank provides an essential service for these people.”

The food bank is located at the Renfrew Armouries at 115 Veterans Memorial Blvd. in Renfrew. For more information call 613-433-9216.

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, October 26, 2017 19

Renfrew family gives back with unique trick-or-treating project Tiffany Lepack tlepack@metroland.com

The Muldoon family is looking to give back to local youth who are unable to experience traditional trick-or-treating.

Eight-year-old Finn Muldoon is unable to go door-todoor on Oct. 31 after being diagnosed four years ago with epilepsy, which also includes a photo sensitivity to flashing lights, decorations, and other light devices that potentially may cause a seizure for him.

Standing by his side is his 12-year-old brother Aidan, who doesn’t want to collect treats without his younger brother.

Last year, they were surprised when local radio personality Chris Kyte and her brother Kirby Morrison encouraged kids on Halloween night to trade a treat with the Muldoon brothers at their home at 335 Lisgar Ave. in Renfrew. They also arranged for a fire truck, an ambulance and a police car to show up.

“All without their lights,” explained mom Tricia. “It was so Finn could see them outside, they all delivered treats and other kids started delivering treats as well. We weighed the bag at the end and we had 27 lb.

of candy!”

Tricia remembers they said it was his best Halloween ever.

“It made me feel really good,” added Finn.

This year, they thought there has to be other kids who can’t go out.

So they are organizing a Halloween Treat Drive; they are accepting candy at their home and if anyone would like to donate treats, contact Tricia at 613401-8586 or triciadm1@gmail. com. The plan is to deliver loot bags on Nov. 1.

“I’m getting names of children who for any reason are unable to go out and want to participate,” said Tricia. “So far, we only have five names and we are hoping to get more names.”

Aidan thinks it’s a great idea to help others in a similar situation to Finn.

“They didn’t get to experience trick-or-treating, so we want to give back to them,” said Aidan.

Anyone who would like to be involved in the reverse trickery can also drop off extra candy on Halloween night.

“It’s really good that people care about those who can’t go Tiffany Lepack/Metroland trick-or-treating,” added Finn.

“I hope this will help a lot of Aidan and Finn Muldoon hold up a bowl of donated candy. The boys along with their parents, are organizing a Halloween Treat Drive for local youth who are unable to go trick-or-treating on Oct. 31. kids.”

Firefighters hold Halloween party Oct. 31 Tiffany Lepack tlepack@metroland.com

Witches, goblins, ghosts, princesses and more, make sure you make your way to Horton on Halloween night.

The Horton Firefighters Association, comprised completely of volunteers, is hosting its seventh annual ‘Halloween at the Haunted Horton Fire Hall.’

The entirely free event runs from 4 to 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 31 at the fire hall in Horton at 2253 Johnston Rd. There will be free hot dogs, loot bags, candy and a haunted walk.

“Anyone is welcome,” said volunteer firefighter Steve Osipenko.

“They gage the spook to the age.”

They started the event as a way of wrapping up fire prevention month.

“As a way that we could teach kids and their families about always having two ways out, to always test your smoke alarms and to show them how we do our job with tools such as our thermal imaging camera (TIC),” said volunteer firefighter Kirby Morrison, in the same statement. “(It’s a chance) to make them comfortable with encountering a firefighter in full gear, in a time of

emergency.

“But what has really kept it going is the opportunity to see friends and families come together, have a quick bite to eat, chat with each other and just have a heartwarming good time as a community. We hope to see a lot of people again this year and for years to come.”

Again this year in the haunted walk the kids will have a chance to try the TIC camera that sees through the smoke.

The event is completely volunteer driven as they donate their own time, candy, decorations and more.

Osipenko encourages everyone to come and check it out. “There is free food, good fun and (the kids can) practice getting out of the maze,” said Osipenko.

For more information follow the Horton Firefighters Association event page on Facebook.

Downtown To kick the Halloween weekend off the Downtown Renfrew BIA is getting in the spooky spirit.

On Friday, Oct. 27 from 5 to 8 p.m., they are hosting the second annual Freaky Friday. Participating businesses downtown will have a pumpkin on display and kids of

20 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, October 26, 2017

all ages can visit participating businesses in Downtown Renfrew and receive tricks and treats.

For a spooky experience those who dare can visit the Haunted Alley, sponsored by the Sense of Country, located beside the Information Centre at 161 Raglan St. South, and organizers warn it may be frightening for younger children.

The spooky fun continues on Saturday, Oct. 28 with the second annual Zombie Walk, hosted by and starting at the Vintage Kettle Coffee House at 232 Raglan St. South at 5 p.m.

They encourage anyone who would like to participate to bring a donation to support the Renfrew and Area Food Bank.

And for those who would like a little more scare on Saturday, Oct. 28 the Fright for Food: House of Paranoia is back again at 171 Ready Ave. from 1 to 10 p.m.

All monetary and food items collected as an entrance fee will be donated to the Renfrew and Area Food Bank. The House of Paranoia has two viewing times one for younger children from 1 to 3 p.m. (not so scary) and from 7 to 10 p.m. (very scary). For more information search both events on Facebook.

Spooky school

The Renfrew Collegiate Institute hosted the Nightmare on Bonnechere Street Haunted House on Friday, Oct. 20. Students, if they braved, made their way through the spooky halls of the school.

Getting ready to deliver some fright are Hayley Roderick and Bryce Schaap dressed up as Jake Saw. Tiffany Lepack/ Metroland

Lasers hit the ice in Renfrew

Cobden’s Jack Quinn (5) hit the ice with the Kanata Lasers of the Central Canada Tier 1 Hockey League at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre on Friday, Oct. 20. At just 16 years old Quinn, who just missed making the Ottawa 67’s of the Ontario Hockey League, is having an impressive start to his season with nine goals and two assists in just 12 games. The Lasers went on to defeat the Cornwall Colts 3-1 and hit the ice again in Renfrew on Saturday, Nov. 18 at 7:30 p.m. when they host one of the top teams in the league the Carleton Place Canadians.

Bike stats meeting Nov. 2 Ish Theilheimer

The Ontario Provincial Police in Renfrew County have been collecting statistics on cycling collisions that they will be sharing with the public at a Nov. 2 meeting of the Ottawa Valley Cycling and Active Transportation Alliance (OVCATA).

As a result of a discussion at the organization’s annual meeting in October, one of OVCATA’ executive members contacted the OPP the Renfrew detachment of the OPP. In turn, the detachment has pulled together research by the OPP that summarizes and analyzes all reported vehicle collisions with bikes from 2012 to 2017 in Renfrew County. There were 42 in all.

The OPP will have one of their knowledgeable members at a meeting of OVCATA at the Rocky Mountain House restaurant in Renfrew (409 Stewart St.) at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 2 to discuss the research findings and their implications.

The meeting is open to the public without charge. For information: info@ovcata.ca.

Renfrew Curling Club adds new Thursday event

RVH Young Professionals spiel Nov. 3 and 4 Andy Sklepowicz and Marg Dawson

The Renfrew Curling Club now turns its focus to the interclub play, as it sends out teams to compete for club pride in competition with other valley clubs.

The men start it off this week, as two teams hit the ice for two games apiece in Low Cup action.

The ladies are on a week later, as they also have a pair of teams with a pair of games each in Autumn Leaves play. As defending champions, both the men and women know the other clubs will be gunning for them.

A little later in the season, a much more relaxed and fun interclub competition starts.

The Friendlies involve Renfrew’s four teams hosting or visiting with another club’s four rinks in single games, but no standings are kept and the competition on the ice is secondary to the good food served for lunch and the camaraderie among all involved.

A new addition to club life will start on Thursdays at 10 a.m., when bridge will be offered at the club.

This popular and brain-stimulating card game has grown in popularity and should be a great fit at the club.

Just a reminder that the time is now to register for the RVH Young Professionals spiel in support of our hospital on Nov. 3 and Nov. 4.

RCI girls’ win cross-country aggregate county championship It was a beautiful day for running on Friday, Oct. 20, as a blue and white wave of 42 Renfrew Collegiate Institute athletes rolled onto the Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association cross-country course at the County Championships at Logos Land.

With strong teams in every category, the Raiders made a statement early by winning the midget girls’ trophy, with strong individual performances by Hannah Hubert, who won the silver medal, and Cassidy Friske taking bronze.

The girls’ team continued to show strength and capped the day by winning the overall girls’ aggregate trophy.

The boys were second overall and the team was second in the aggregate scores.

Strong leadership on the day created the perfect scenario for success, as did the sportsmanship of the entire team as they showed spirit and positive energy.

Marguirite expected to win the Halloween contest Mary Cook Mary’s memories

Mother said it was just because I was excited.

Emerson said I wasn’t called ‘nervous Nellie’ for nothing. Halloween had rolled around, and I was in a state.

I wanted to go as a princess, but my chances of coming up with an elaborate costume such as a princess would wear, were pretty slim.

The talk at the Northcote School was that bad Marguirite had a store bought costume, and was having her hair done at Ducharme’s Beauty Parlour.

She hinted she even had silver shoes and something with real diamonds in it for her hair.

And here I was, destined to wear whatever Mother could throw together from the clothes already being worn to school, or doing chores, or

some that long ago should have seen the rag bag.

Audrey refused to wear anything that had come within 20 feet of the cow byre, saying it didn’t matter how much of Mother’s cologne she put on, you could still smell cow!

As happened every Halloween, the school was decorated, parents brought enough lunch to feed all of Renfrew County, and someone was put in charge of a program.

The minister from the United Church was always the judge of the best, or most unusual costume, and fair to a fault, he made sure the winner wasn’t a member of the church.

Which Cecil said was grossly unfair.

His family were devout Uniteds.

Those who couldn’t afford storebought masks, had their faces smeared with stove black, or the soot from inside the coal oil lamp.

By the time the date rolled around,

Renfrew Bridge holds Swiss Team tournament Oct. 18, saw 17 four-player teams show up for a Swiss Team tournament at the Renfrew Bridge Club. The Swiss Team format features four-player teams playing head-to-head.

After each of the six board rounds, the winning teams advance against other winners, while the unsuccessful teams play each other; just like any sporting tournament.

However, in Swiss Teams, the margin of victory is also extremely important. As a result, it is quite possible for a team with a mediocre win-loss record, but with a couple of large victory margins, to finish ahead of a team with a better record. Such

was the fate of Vaillancourt team on Wednesday. For though they won all 4 four of their matches, their winning margins were modest and so they were passed by 2 teams who had larger scoring wins. No doubt, they could feel, with some justification, that “we wuz robbed!”

Congratulations to the 3 top teams from Oct 18: 1: (2.5 wins) Ernie Berndt - Eric Brown - Rick Duncan - Leanne Cheliak 2: (3 wins) Wayne Daze - Nancy Cavanagh - Phillippa Baran - Shawn Mahood 3: (4 wins) Ronda Vaillancourt Lila Paddock - Ted Ambridge - Wilf Brousseau

of course, the cold weather had set in, which meant underneath whatever we were wearing was a pile of long underwear and a couple of sweaters.

Often before the school party started, neighbour children would stop at farms along the way for a handout of homemade candy, or if they were lucky, a box of cracker jacks, which cost a whole nickle at Briscoe’s General Store.

Mother laid out all the things she thought we five children could choose from to wear as costumes. Mostly, it was old overalls, windbreakers that had seen better days, and an assortment of straw hats that should have been thrown out long ago.

Audrey wouldn’t have anything to do with a thing on the bed! Instead she put on a silk dress that had come in the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie, and of course was much too big for her.

She tied a silk scarf around the waist, and vanished into Mother and Father’s bedroom where Mother kept what little makeup she wore.

Audrey came out looking like she

belonged in one of those side-shows from the Renfrew Fair, where children weren’t allowed, and any husband worth his salt ignored. I thought she was gorgeous.

It didn’t take long for the boys from the Barr Side road to spot her, and I was amazed at the change in my sister, all because of a silk dress that come in the hand-me-down box from Regina!

There was Marguirite, with her store-bought costume, the silver shoes she raved about, and her hair done up high on her head, but I couldn’t see anything that looked like a diamond anywhere.

There were games, bobbing for apples, musical chairs, and fiddle music, and the school heated up like a night in July all because of the many bodies crammed into the one room.

Finally, the United Church Minister clapped his hands together, quieting everyone down, and said he had chosen a winner.

Marguirite got out of her chair, ready to bolt up to the front of the room for the prize, so sure was she her name would be called.

The minister made a long speech, just as if he were preaching a sermon, and then announced that Audrey Haneman was the winner!

Everyone clapped, Audrey turned bright red, Marguirite started to cry, and I was so happy I almost wet my pants.

Thank goodness there was no school the next day, because as hard as she scrubbed, Audrey wasn’t able to get rid of all the makeup.

I thought she should leave it on for church. Mother thought differently.

Emerson said the prize Audrey got wasn’t worth the effort she went to. I thought it was wonderful!

It was a bag of maple leaf cookies from Briscoe’s General Store! No doubt donated by Mr. Briscoe himself.

We cleaned them out on the way home from the Northcote School.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, take a fresh approach to a problem that has been puzzling you. A new perspective might be just the thing you need to crack this nut and move forward.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Enter to WIN your wedding in a full page colour spread in the 2017 Weddings & Engagements Feature.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, don’t get caught up in too much gossip, as it can only negatively impact your relationships. Take the higher ground whenever possible and you will stay above the fray.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, just when you thought things would quiet down for the time being, change is coming. This may catch you by surprise — but change can sometimes be good.
