“We are looking for other people in our community, if they have an idea to bring it forth in an orderly manner so we can organize a schedule,” said Eady. “If another municipality has other events we are willing to be as co-operative as possible. We don’t want to conflict any community events.”

Horton Township to face OMB in Humphries Road case Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

Indecision on a severance application has landed the Township of Horton in front of the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB).

The case is currently before the OMB because the municipality failed to make a decision on one of three severance applications within 90 days as is required by the Planning Act 53 (14).

The role of the OMB is to make decisions on disputed land use and planning at the municipal level.

At its regular council meeting on Oct. 18 council went in camera to discuss a report from the township solicitor on the OMB appeal.

According to the OMB web-

site, the property in question is on Humphries Road and the case description lists Cathy and Walker Eady, Humphries Road.

The Walkers remained for the incamera discussion with council.

When contacted by the Renfrew Mercury, Cathy Walker had little to say.

“I have no comment because it is ongoing and nothing has been decided,” she said.

No hearings have been scheduled for the case.

In an email statement to the newspaper, Horton Township Mayor Robert Kingsbury had this to say about Humphries Road.

“Council and staff have been trying to develop a policy regarding

development on certain roads in our township.

Humphries Road is a road that required a substantial amount of emergency repairs within the last couple of years,” Kingsbury said.

“At this time we have nine severance applications with a possible four more to follow.

Our concern is that this road is ranked for one to 49 vehicles per day and the extra traffic this development would generate is beyond the capabilities of this road.

The policy we are trying to put together would not only apply to this road but all roads in Horton of similar nature.”

The severance was submitted to the County of Renfrew on Feb. 23.

should gather more information and keep people informed, maybe bring in the developer so we are better versed,” said Larone.

Coun. David Bennett was not pleased as council had asked the developer to do some background work.

“The developer was well warned he needed to do a lot of leg work so we would not have opposition,” said Bennett. “I agree with further study.”

Deputy Mayor Robert Johnston said the developer should have informed the neighbours. One of the member of the public said she was approached but the developer did not provide a lot of details.

“This could be a hornet’s nest,” said Johnston. “We need to take a good hard look at this.”

When the bylaw came up for discussion later in the council meeting it was decided to hold off on granting approval for it pending further information.

A number of questions at a public meeting in Horton Township have put the brakes on a zoning change.

Council heard from three concerned residents and reviewed a letter against the proposed change at 1451 Castleford Rd. at the meeting on Oct. 18.

The change would see the lands change from rural to commercial-holding. Some of the questions included if their land would go down in value, the types of buildings permitted with the change (staff read out a long list of what was acceptable), what are the future development plans and more.

Coun. Jamey Larone was the first to speak at the public meeting from council and right away recognized the disapproval from the local residents on the proposed changes.

“There seems to be opposition, we

Horton council is continuing to battle against certain land designations with the province and the County of Renfrew.

Horton currently has zero land designated agricultural, however the proposed official plan changes would see Horton add 11,959 acres of agricultural land.

On Oct. 18, Horton council, staff, a representative from Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA), Charles Cheeseman, manager of planning services at the county and his assistant Lindsay Bennett went for a tour of the municipality to discuss the proposed designations.

“I am optimistic, we did put a lot of effort behind that and I am hopeful the fruits of our labour will be shown as time goes on,” Coun. Jamey Larone said. “I don’t want to kid ourselves the province has stated certain things but I think we have done ourselves a good service and residents of Horton a good service with our presentation as to why some of these lands should not be designated agricultural.”

Larone and Mayor Robert Kingsbury both

credited staff for their hard work on the file.

“I would like to add Mayor Kingsbury, it was good leadership on your part to follow this through and not just keep ourselves on the sidelines,” said Larone.

“We needed to engage the county and OMAFRA and I think the tour today it was a benefit and a good tour. Hopefully we come out the other side all the better for it.”

Kingsbury said he thought everybody was on their ‘A game’ represented the township very well.

“We put the arguments forth that needed to be put forth,” said Kingsbury.

“I think it would be naïve on our part if we feel we will come out without an agriculture designation of some sort, that’s the indication coming from OMAFRA representative. He made it quite clear whatever he does is still a recommendation and they could challenge him.”

Kingsbury went on to say the county also knows where the township sits on the subject now as well.

“They are aware of the consequences and what we are trying to achieve and I think they went back with a different view as well,” said Kingsbury.

“All staff around this table have done a ton of work and I think it will bring back positive results.”

Renfrew firefighters tame Thompson Avenue house fire Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

Renfrew firefighters battled a house fire on Thompson Avenue last week.

The occupants were able to get out of the home and a bunny rabbit from the fire at 250 Thompson Ave. was rescued.

Renfrew fire chief Guy Longtin confirmed to the Renfrew Mercury the pet is doing well.

“The tiny, black, bunny was in the basement and it was hard to find with all of the soot,” said Longtin.

An investigator from the Ontario Fire Marshal was on site after the fire on Oct. 19. The cause is still unknown at this time. Longtin says the fire in the small white bungalow caused $140,000 in damage and the neighbouring home, which was vacant, received $10,000 in

damage.

The department received the call at 9:32 a.m. and the first truck was on scene at 9:34 a.m. The fire was deemed to be under control at 10:45 a.m. There were four fire department vehicles on-site, including the ladder truck, two pumpers and a support vehicle and 13 firefighters responded: nine full-time and four volunteer.

“They did a fantastic job with a quick knock down and stopping it from spreading,” said Longtin. One firefighter sustained minor injuries. “He had second degree burns to his face,” said Longtin.

Longtin noted the Renfrew Fire Department was the only department on site for this fire.

“Mutual aid was not activated for this call,” said Longtin.

“We want people to know where it is happening and that we are utilizing other areas. We want to engage the community as we celebrate this milestone,” said Sidney.

They are working on putting together a calendar of events by the end of November.

“If we get everyone’s ideas by late November we can put together the schedule and work on any minor conflicts,” said Eady.

“We are really looking forward to it and people will be really happy with what we are talking about,” added Sidney.

The town has already applied for a Heritage Grant and an Ontario 150 grant to help offset some of the costs and hope they will hear by if they are approved by the end of the year.

Already the town has been saving money to help pay for the festivities next year. In the 2015 and 2016 budgets, council put away $10,000 each year and next year they are budgeting $15,000 for a total of $35,000.

“It’s a celebration. It’s partially an investment in the town and we hope people come back,” said Eady.

House fire fills sky above Renfrew with black smoke From page 3

The large cloud of black smoke could be seen over downtown Renfrew as the fire started.

One of the home’s occupants was seen being treated by paramedics and was taken to hospital.

Michael Mawdsley lives in the home and says he and his girlfriend got out of the house uninjured while his roommate was treated for smoke inhalation.

Mawdsley says he is not entirely sure how

the fire started.

“I heard a pop, saw the smoke, went upstairs, as soon as I smelled the smoke I knew it couldn’t be anything from food, it had to be a fire,” said Mawdsley.

“I said ‘Everyone get out!’”

He thinks the fire started somewhere around the kitchen and dining room area, which is towards the back of the house on the main floor.

The couple has two dogs Reamus and Mishka, who are back safe now.

“Reamus bolted as soon as I opened up the door,” said Mawdsley after the dog had returned.

One of the first thoughts he had was that he couldn’t believe it was happening to him.

“Despite all the stuff, I’m just glad my girlfriend, my dogs, my roommate made it out. I’m just worried about the rabbit (who didn’t make it out),” said Mawdsley at the time before the rabbit was rescued by the firefighters. “We are doing pretty good all things considered.”

Resident questions property easement on Horton’s beach property Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

The potential sale of Horton’s beach property may infringe on a neighbouring property owner who currently uses the municipality’s property to access his waterfront.

Michael Welsh, who owns the property at 5198 River Rd., addressed council as a delegation on Oct. 18 as a follow up to his letter sent to them on Sept. 15.

In his letter he details the history of his requests to the township for easement to the township property at 5234 River Rd. (also known as Horton’s ‘beach property,’ which is currently for sale for $261,500).

So he could “formalize the long-standing access rights that my adjacent property at 5198 River Rd. has always had onto the township road property at 5234 River Rd. As you know, access to the waterfront road of my property, and therefore to the waterfront on my property, has relied on access to a small portion of the road on the township since the property was severed off decades ago.”

He first made a verbal request to Horton’s chief administrative officer Mackie McLaren on May 23, 2012, and in his letter he states he was verbally advised that “the access right exists and assured that it would be preserved in any event.”

Welsh made a formal written request for easement on Jan. 20, 2014 and in McLaren’s reply on April 8, 2014, Welsh’s letter states he was told “there is no legal easement or rightof-way agreement registered on the title of Horton’s property.

However, the township is fully aware that you travel across the townships property to access your waterfront area …you may want to enter into a formal easement arrangement with the township.”

On Sept. 20, 2014 he re-stated his request for a formal easement and in response to that a motion was introduced at council on Nov. 4, 2014 to create a formal easement. However, the motion was withdrawn due to questions on legal aspects. The motion that did pass that night had council seek legal advice on the situation.

He sent a follow-up letter on Dec. 7, 2015 as to the decision.

His letter states McLaren informed him the verbal legal opinion received in 2014 was supportive of his easement rights and advised they must be granted.

On Jan. 14, Welsh was informed of the final decision of council stating “When the decision was made to list the property, the members agreed at this time not to entertain your request to formalize the right of way.”

During the council meeting on Oct. 18 Welsh read the history of his situation from his earlier letter and other notes on the issue.

Welsh told council he has always had access.

“There has never been a time I did not have access to the road,” said Welsh during his presentation. “I believe refusal of the easement was due to the sale of the (township) property.”

Welsh asked if the original motion was stopped due to a legal opinion being sought, why was it never re-visited?

Welsh runs a cottage business on his property and attracts visitors from as far away as the Yukon.

“It would be impossible to build another access to my waterfront. I am simply trying to protect my access to my waterfront,” said Welsh.

“Your sale is structured to blackmail and shut me down and I will face an end to my family business.”

Welsh went on to call the current asking price a hallucination and questioned as to why everything has to be so extreme.

“Grant me the easement so I can access my waterfront,” Welsh said in conclusion of his delegation.

Mayor Robert Kingsbury said he did go and visit the property and he wanted council to have a good perspective of it.

“I think we came away with a very good understanding,” said Kingsbury. “We are definitely not trying to harm you or your property. We are trying to get the best results for Horton.”

Kingsbury suggested the matter go back to the planning committee.

Coun. Glen Campbell said he agreed the price was high but they had to look at what’s best for the township and he

thought it was better to start high and come down.

“With your documentation, right away it raises flags with me to check where we left off,” said Campbell.

Campbell agreed that the matter should go back to committee.

“We need to take one last look and see the documentation,” said Campbell. “I can’t make an informed decision without the background documentation…If it was anyone in this room they would be fighting hard.”

Deputy Mayor Robert Johnston questioned if Welsh had looked into the issue before he purchased the property.

“When you bought the property you knew you couldn’t get to your property without going on township property,” said Johnston. “I agree with your predicament but it’s also buyer beware.”

Coun. David Bennett defended the asking price.

“We thought it was a fair market value. There is someone who will purchase it close to that value. The decision to sell and put the money into recreation was not out of line,” said Bennett.

“Mr. Welsh knew he had right away issues, the township has a responsibility to every ratepayer.

If the right of way needs to be in place it needs to have a sub-

stantial amount to offset the sale.

As the price is the price, I dislike comments from Mr. Welsh that the price is fabricated.”

John Wilson, who is a member of the planning committee and also present for the delegation, said he needed a copy of the presentation Welsh made and Larone agreed council should also have a copy.

Mae Craig, who is also on the planning committee, argued it was a fair price in comparison to the other properties in the area.

Council and members of the planning committee have arranged for a second site visit to Welsh’s property on Oct. 28.

After making his presentation Welsh told the Renfrew Mercury he was pleased they were willing to review the matter and go back.

As to why he did not look into things further when he purchased the property he had this to say: “This was 10 years ago and anything could happen. It was not realistically talked about; it was just a scruffy old road. I had access and the previous owners had access,” said Welsh. “I did not foresee any issues.”

Welsh said the road at the time was a non-issue as there were no plans for it. He also referenced an old bus on the property that was used as an old hunt camp.

Renfrew council applies for grant money, new BMX track announced Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

The following are briefs from the Town of Renfrew’s council meeting on Oct. 11.

Council approved the application for Community Improvement Program/Financial Incentive Program from Rick Lewis, owner of Rick’s Pet Store.

The total grant is for $4,234, which will help with improves to his façade and accessibility.

Coun. Kate Windle said it was nice for another member of the Business Improvement Area to be making improvements.

Ontario CIF The Town of Renfrew has entered into an agreement with the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund.

It will see the town receive a formula-based allocation of $402,042 for 2017 and projected allocations of $570,930 for 2018 and $847,022 for 2019 to be used for revitalization and repair of roads and other critical infrastructure.

Keray O’Reilly said the increase

was a welcome surprise for the Renfrew.

Sunshine Coach funds O’Reilly also informed council of a new program run by the federal government called the Public Infrastructure Fund, which for Renfrew relates to the Sunshine Coach.

Council approved the application for the program and could be eligible for up to $110,655, which would be used to help them with the purchase of a small accessible bus.

“This is an organization that always does a good job for the town and they are great asset for Renfrew,” said Mayor Don Eady.

Recreation Coun. Tom Sidney, who is the recreation chair, informed council construction on a new championship BMX track at Ma-Te-Way Park is underway. “This doesn’t exist anywhere else in Renfrew County,” said Sidney. “We are pretty excited.”

The course is part of the Recreation Master Plan and Sidney is proud they will have it in Renfrew.

has been fundraising to start the project.

Grant applications Council approved the reconstruction of Raglan Street South (Hwy. 60) between Hall Avenue and Bridge Street as its priority project application under the Connecting Links Program for 2017/18. In January the town submitted an application for the same area and was unsuccessful.

The total cost of the project is $6,027,538 and the maximum amount the town could receive is $3,000,000. The rest will be funded through taxation, water/wastewater funds or debt.

Coun. Andrew Evans said it was

an important project as it is well needed.

Sidney said it was important to communicate the plans to the BIA and downtown on the construction plans.

Staff told council the last reconstruction was done in 2000 and the BIA contributed to the project and thinks they will be key partners in the process.

Council also approved an application for the reconstruction of Barnet Boulevard, between Raglan Street South and Eighth Avenue, for the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund Top-Up Component. The project will cost $2,366,428 and the

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, October 27, 2016 7

OPINION

Connected to your community

The precious poppy This week one of the most powerful symbols of collective memory and honouring sacrifice is once again starting to be on display across the country. That symbol is the poppy.

Starting Oct. 28, poppies will be available to the public in the lead up to Remembrance Day Nov. 11. This year’s National Poppy Campaign was launched at a special event hosted by Gov. Gen. David Johnston on Oct. 19, in which the Gov. Gen. honoured Canadian veterans from past military campaigns.

The public act of wearing a poppy at this time of year is a way for the nation to remember our shared collective history as a country that has never turned away when duty called, and that we, as a nation, will never forget the sacrifices of our veterans who have served in our military.

And while Canadian military personnel have been active in recent years in such places as Afghanistan and the ongoing fight against the murderous thugs that call themselves ISIS, the number of veterans from such military campaigns of the past such as the First and Second World Wars and Korea are dwindling with the passage of time. The poppy honours those who have served in our military and keeps alive forever the memory of the

117,000 Canadians who have given their lives for our ongoing freedom in conflicts around the globe.

“With each poppy we remember someone who is no longer with us,” Johnston said at the poppy campaign’s launch. “It’s now our responsibility to pass on what we know to keep the memories alive.”

Each year, approximately 18 million poppies are distributed across Canada, and Canadians wear them with pride, with heavy hearts, and with respect for those who have served and those who have died.

The campaign, which was officially adopted in Canada in 1921 by the Great War Veterans’ Association (the predecessor of today’s Royal Canadian Legion), acts as a symbol of what this country is all about, which is why most Canadians, in one form or another, support the poppy campaign and wear a poppy on their lapels.

It is not, and never should be, an empty fashion statement. It is a statement about what this country represents, which is why it a unifying national campaign that everyone should stand on guard for.

Let’s put on our poppies in the lead up to Remembrance Day, and then on Nov. 11 let’s all proudly stand together again.

Enbridge launches the Energy School Challenge As public focus is drawn to creating a lower carbon future, Enbridge Gas Distribution (Enbridge) is excited to launch its Energy School Challenge (the Challenge). The Challenge will engage secondary students in energy efficiency and natural gas conservation, while they compete against other schools to save energy.

Life takes energy, and that’s why Enbridge wants to help schools understand how to manage their energy use more efficiently.

Through the challenge, students will help their school save energy by participating in conservation activities, making positive behavioral changes associated with the school’s energy usage, reporting on these activities, and measuring progress.

Students can then transfer their classroom

Participating secondary schools will have access to the challenge curriculum materials that will guide students through learning opportunities and activities.

The school will receive points for the completion of the Challenge activities and curriculum. In addition, each school will receive free access to an online energy dashboard where they can view their energy consumption.

Enbridge will award $3,000 to the school with the most points; the second and third place schools will receive $2,000 and $1,000 respectively.

The challenge will run from October 2016 to April 2017, with awards given out during Earth Week 2017.

Beavers are busy preparing for winter Despite the warm temperatures that until recently have dominated this wonderful time of year, many animals have been busy preparing for winter’s arrival. Gray Squirrels have been burying acorns while Blue Jays have been stashing seeds, emptying bird feeders in the process. And beavers have been living up to the old adage: “busy as a beaver.”

If anyone has recently visited a beaver pond – the masterpiece creation of these remarkable rodents - two things would be apparent. One is that the beaver lodge has undergone a noticeable change in appearance. Plenty of fresh mud adorns its outer surface. Another is that a fallen forest had sprung up next to the lodge.

The mud is a sure sign that freezing temperatures are in the not-toodistant future. Starting in late September, beavers begin plastering mud over their lodges. This serves as insulation during winter. As the days get shorter and nights colder, beavers continue to add material during the day, especially on overcast days in November.

Mud is dug up from the pond’s bottom, likely not far from the two underwater entrances. Mud is carried with both front hands holding it against the chest, much in the way that we carry a load of firewood. But beavers seldom carry just a load of mud to the top of the lodge. They inevitably carry a stick or two as well, which are clenched between its teeth.

This double carry amazes me because it is done while a beaver waddles up its lodge with its head in the air, chin pressing down on the mud load it is carrying. It cannot see its feet, which are The fresh mud on this lodge and the pile of freshly stepping across cut branches beside it indicate that Beavers are protruding sticks ready for winter. surrounded by

slippery mud. Despite walking up a slope replete with trip hazards, I’ve never seen a beaver stumble.

The “fallen forest” is the beavers’ winter pantry. Beavers don’t hibernate and so eat every day. During the autumn they fell trees and cut off branches, which are dragged to the pond and piled up next to the lodge. The huge pile, which extends from the surface down to the bottom, contains branches that will be pulled into the lodge where their bark will be eaten. If you examine a food pile from its top to the bottom, you would see a change in the type of branches it contains.

Near the bottom you would likely find Trembling Aspen, Willow, and White Birch branches for these are beavers favourite foods. But on the top you would likely see alder, cedar, and fir branches, items usually deemed inedible. These are placed on top because the ice renders them inaccessible during winter. Their role is to hold down the best foods under the ice where they remain accessible all winter.

Now is a good time to watch beavers in action. Late evening and dawn are the best times, but as November passes beavers remain active well into the day. But once the ponds freeze over, beavers vanish PHOTOS BY MICHAEL RUNTZ for the winter.

Mackie McLaren retires after serving Horton Township for 26 years Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

There has been one constant in Horton Township for more than two decades: Mackie McLaren.

The chief administrative officer/ clerk (CAO) is hanging up his hat on Oct. 31, after working for the township for 26 years.

Horton Township staff are inviting members of the public to join them at the Horton Community Centre (1005 Castleford Rd.) on Monday, Oct. 31 from 2 to 4 p.m. to wish McLaren best wishes on his retirement.

As he reflected on his years at the municipality, one word kept coming up: rewarding.

“It’s been rewarding because it’s a small municipality. Your finger is on everything,” said McLaren. “It’s been rewarding knowing the township has grown and knowing I was a part of that.”

He sees a number of other aspects of the job rewarding as well.

“It’s rewarding working with the people, the ratepayers, the lawyers, engineering and assisting their needs,” said McLaren. “But most rewarding is working with staff. Horton has been blessed with excellent staff members, as a team meeting the ratepayers’ needs.”

He says he is leaving Horton in good hands for the future.

TIFFANY LEPACK/METROLAND

Mackie McLaren is retiring from Horton Township after more than 26 years on Oct. 31, here he is with his first council photo, as CAO/clerk on the wall in council chambers.

“There is an excellent staff,” said McLaren. “I’m very pleased with Sue Klatt (the new CAO) who is very

experienced in municipal management and working with the ratepayers.”

Before arriving at Horton he spent time at one other municipality, holding different titles but responsible for the same clerk-like duties.

He started in 1970 at the Township of Torbolton (now part of the City of Ottawa) and was with the municipality in 1974 when West Carleton was formed.

In 1982 he left to go farming and in 1988 he started working at Radio Shack in Arnprior. Then in 1990 he got the job at Horton.

He has been part of eight councils led by five reeves/mayors: Milt Stevenson, John Doering, Robert Johnston, Don Eady and Robert Kingsbury.

“Like every municipal administrator, I had one council that did not go well but otherwise I worked with seven very good council members that were community individuals,” said McLaren.

Looking back the biggest change was becoming computerized.

“It was a fairly big learning curve, my schooling was pre-computer,” said MacLaren. “Another CAO called me and said ‘the one eyed monster (monitor) was staring’ at him. I was more open to it.”

He admits it did save time in some ways and made applications easier.

“It hasn’t saved on paper storage,” said McLaren, although council meetings are now completely paper-

less.

One key factor he points out is the fact Horton was the only rural municipality in Renfrew that did not restructure in the late 1990s.

“I’ve been surprised that the township has been able to carry out improvements to infrastructure and still keep the tax rate in the lowest half of the county,” said McLaren.

A significant development was when council started to borrow money.

“That’s been an effort of council and staff, the biggest change was when they decided to debenture money for capital works and proving to council and ratepayers that the cost of borrowing is manageable within the budget.”

Some of the projects of note are the work on Garden of Eden Road in 2009/10 and the expansion of the municipal building in 2008 along with the rink change rooms.

What’s next for McLaren?

“I have no big plans, I might look for some part-time work,” he said.

“You just need something to get you out of the house.”

He is thinking of going on a road trip next summer with his wife.

“I am thinking the east coast.”

McLaren has also volunteered with a number of local organizations all his life and has no plans on stopping now.

New partnership to secure natural gas access in rural Ontario

DEREK DUNN/METROLAND

Radiothon success

Erin Wilson finishes telling Heritage Radio listeners on Sunday afternoon about Bonnechere Manor and the vital role Sunshine Coach plays at the long-term care facility. Then station manager Jason Marshall walks in, prompting on air personality Art Jamieson to say he feels like Hillary Clinton with Donald Trump behind her. “Station managers always make me nervous,” he said. That’s an example of the banter Heritage Radio is famous for, and a reason organizations like Sunshine Coach are having such success with radiothons. This year raised $10,000 more than last year’s record-breaking $60,000, which was the first since switching over from television.

Rural Ontario needs infrastructure equivalent to urban centres. That’s the goal of a new partnership announced in early October at Queen’s Park between the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA), Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus and the Western Ontario Wardens’ Caucus.

“Natural gas access across the province could save Ontario farmers, business owners and rural residents more than $1 billion annually in energy costs,” says OFA president, Don McCabe. “This represents new, disposable income in the hands of our residents, families and rural businesses, to spend and stimulate our local economies.”

The new partners will work with the provincial government and gas companies to immediately develop a fair and equitable way to install new natural gas pipeline across rural Ontario each year for the next 20 years.

The proposed program will require public investment in the pipeline infrastructure and a viable rural rate for gas set by the Ontario Energy Board.

“It was encouraging to hear, in the recent Throne speech, that the Province is demonstrating some willingness to address the number-one concern of our rural residents and our rural industries – the soaring cost of hydroelectricity – but more can be done to lessen that burden, and natural gas is one of those solutions,” explains Warden Peter Emon, Chair of the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus.

Today’s announcement brings together three organizations that represent rural Ontario and advocates for the ratepayers, farms and businesses of rural Ontario. Working together, the group is strengthening their call for a commitment to natural gas across Ontario.

“Provincial funding is vital to provide the necessary energy cost relief rural Ontario so desperately needs,” says Mayor Randy Hope, Chair of the Western Ontario Wardens’ Caucus. “Natural gas is the answer to reducing energy costs, developing our businesses and growing our rural communities.”

Community Living Renfrew County South thanks everyone who purchased a ticket at the Renfrew Fair. The money raised will be used in the Renfrew day program for activities.

Leave the Phone Alone The Renfrew County Partners Against Distracted Driving Committee has been successful in obtaining a Ministry of Transportation Road Safety Community Partnership Program grant to facilitate a campaign to address the dangers of distracted driving.

Distracted driving is a major safety concern and has now surpassed impaired driving as the leading cause of motor vehicle collisions that cause fatalities.

The grant will fund an interactive computer simulator presentation to all 2,000 Grade 11 and 12 students for all 11 Renfrew County High Schools, focused education to all Grade 4 and 5 students in Renfrew County Elementary Schools and a community outreach program targeted at the public.

RVH, Heart Institute celebrate 10 years of smoking cessation support Renfrew Victoria Hospital (RVH) is celebrating 10 years of partnership with the Ottawa Heart Institute’s Ottawa Model for Smoking Cessation (OMSC).

Since implementation of the OMSC at RVH, nearly 550 smokers have been reached through personalized, best practice tobacco dependence treatment, resulting in increased quit attempts and longterm cessation.

An estimated 160 smokers are smoke-free as a result of the support they received while at RVH. In 2002, smoking cessation experts at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute (UOHI) developed the Ottawa Model for Smoking Cessation - an institutional program that systematically identifies, provides treatment, and offers follow-up to patients who smoke as part of routine care.

In 2006, UOHI began to assist other inpatient, outpatient and primary care settings to implement the OMSC. Implementation of the OMSC

In eastern Ontario, nearly 100,000 smokers have been assisted through Ottawa Model programs, leading to approximately 25,000 people becom-

ing smoke-free.

“Implementing the Ottawa Model at RVH effectively provided us with the approach and tools needed to

assist patients who are motivated to quit smoking during their hospital stay,” said Randy Penney, president and chief executive officer at RVH. “This program has been successful as a result of the determined efforts of our nursing staff, physicians, and the support of the University of Ottawa Heart Institute,” Penney added.

“The success behind the Ottawa Model for Smoking cessation is truly found in the determined teams across Canada, like here in Renfrew, that are providing personalized support to smokers who are trying to quit,” added Dr. Andrew Pipe, codeveloper of the OMSC and chief of the division of prevention and rehabilitation at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute.

“As all hospital grounds in Ontario will be required to be smoke-free

by January 2018, helping patients deal with nicotine withdrawal when they are admitted and stay smokefree when they leave will remain an important priority for hospitals in our region.”

Ticks and Lyme disease in Renfrew County focus of WI talk Burnstown Women’s Institute hosted a public seminar Oct. 13 Jane de Snaijer

Burnstown Women’s Institute

The Burnstown Women’s Institute (WI) hosted a public seminar on Thursday, Oct. 13 and about 40 people learned about ticks and Lyme disease in Renfrew County.

Greg Kirk, the co-ordinator for environmental health for Renfrew County’s District Health Unit, talked about how a tick bite affects humans while Dr. Stephanie Clarke, veterinarian and partner in The Renfrew Animal Hospital, answered many questions about ticks and dogs and cats.

Kirk provided statistics to support the fact that ticks are on the increase in Renfrew County.

He talked about a process called ‘drag-

ging’ whereby various areas in Renfrew County are tested for tick presence.

It is the blacklegged tick (also called deer tick) that transmits Lyme disease.

A tick must be infected by the bacteria causing Lyme disease in order to pass it on to you.

If a human is bitten by any tick, he recommended that it be removed without crushing, preferably with a tick remover, and that the bite site be disinfected with soap and water or rubbing alcohol.

The tick should then be saved in a jar and taken to the county health unit either in Pembroke or Renfrew for analysis.

Watch the bite area carefully for the appearance of a rash and visit your doctor at

once if it appears. Early detection and treatment is important.

Dr. Clarke thoroughly answered many, many questions from the floor about our animals and provided the actual tick removers, with instructions as handouts.

She brought jars, which contained various sized sample ticks, which had been removed from animals over the past year, for us to look at.

She confirmed that ticks are most active in the spring and early summer, and again in the late summer and fall. They abound in woodlands, long grass, and wet environment. The information shared this evening was very worthwhile for those of us who have pets and live in the country.

RVH

GROWING FORWARD

October 2016 • In partnership with the Renfrew Mercury

Thanks to our dedicated community leaders Members of the I Choose RVH Leadership Committee are not out of the picture, but the committee is handing the reins back to the community. Now at the end of their two-year commitment, members are proud of their achievement—reaching 94% of a $3.5 million fundraising goal for the expansion and redevelopment of our local hospital.

“This group has been together since May 2014 and the accomplishments have been fantastic—or better than fantastic. We thank you for all of the effort that each of you have put in, and your families have put in, it’s made a considerable difference at the hospital already and it will in the future,” Kent Tubman, I Choose RVH Co-chair told members of the committee at a recent gathering.

Members of the committee will continue to be ambassadors for RVH as the work goes on, and will carry on their efforts to raise awareness in the community.

“The need for support to replace aging equipment and keep up with advances in technology is ongoing, but with such a responsive and generous community, RVH will continue to offer quality care close to home,” stated Lisa Vincent, I Choose RVH Co-chair.

Tracey family say it is time for them to give back to the ‘gem’ of the Valley When Gerald Tracey took a heart attack last summer, he knows RVH played a key role in his survival.

“There are many worthwhile causes we could support and a first-class health care facility is at the top of our list,” he says. Aside from emergency department visits, Gerald, his wife Wanda, and their family, have relied on many of the hospital’s services. They are constantly impressed at the advancements being made to the facility itself and admire the progressive attitude of the leadership team.

The Traceys say it isn’t only the excellent medical care and upgraded facilities that make RVH an important cause to support, it goes much deeper. Looking back on Gerald’s experience, it’s the special attention and emotional support that will always stand out.

“I know I wasn’t getting special treatment or anything like that, because I see they treat all of the patients the same way,” he says.

A gift to RVH had been on the mind of the family but following a “life-saving experience,” the choice to support RVH was easy. The owners of the Eganville

Leader felt it was important to do their part. “We are so fortunate to have all of these big city services available, but delivered with this personal touch that isn’t available anywhere else,” adds Wanda.

The family has made a commitment of $50,000.00 to I Choose RVH. With a $25,000.00 gift and a pledge of $25,000.00 to support a community match program for the Tree of Lights appeal for 2016. “Now we want to encourage others who can help out to contribute whatever they can to the campaign. Really, we are doing it to make life better for each and every one of us,” concludes Gerald.

Tree of Lights is a signature event for the Renfrew Victoria Hospital and runs November through to March each year. We are so grateful for the generous support of the Traceys,” says RVHF Executive Director Barb Desilets. “It is a story or experiences like that of Gerald and Wanda that remind us all of the importance in considering a gift to our community healthcare facility. Choosing RVH does make a difference.”

Wanda and Gerald Tracey are giving back to RVH.

Make RVH your charity of choice. Please call the RVH Foundation office at 613-432-4851 ext. 263, or visit us online at www.renfrewhosp.com to learn more about how you can contribute to the RVH difference.

Catch the Ace arrives in Renfrew at RCAF Wing Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

Can you Catch the Ace? The ace of spades is off and running for a new fundraiser at the RCAF Wing.

Similar to the Chase the Ace campaign in New Brunswick, the Ontario edition of the popular fundraiser could have a cumulative jackpot that might reach as much as $30,000 plus.

Angela Pigeon is the lounge manager and is organizing the fundraiser.

“It’s for us to raise some money for our 653 Squadron Cadets and the youth programs throughout the community,” said Pigeon.

“It’s an interesting new concept, a little twist on a 50/50 draw and Renfrew has proven they like to gamble.”

Tickets go on sale for $5 starting on Nov. 1 and the first draw is on Nov. 9.

At the start of the raffle a fresh deck of cards is shuffled and placed in individual, unmarked envelopes.

Those envelopes are then shuffled and placed in pockets on a prize board with numbers from one to 52.

Each week a limited number of tickets are sold and players write their contact information and a guess on which pocket holds the coveted ace of spades.

Each Wednesday, one ticket is randomly drawn at the Wing and that winner receives a guaranteed 20 per cent of that week’s ticket sales.

Next, the card in the pocket is opened and if it contains the ace they win another

TIFFANY LEPACK/METROLAND

Angela Pigeon, lounge manager at the RCAF Wing and organizer of the Catch the Ace fundraiser, holds up the coveted ace.

30 per cent of the weeks sales and if not the card is destroyed and the 30 per cent rolls over to accumulate into the next week’s jackpot.

If the draw goes to its full run of 52 weeks and all the tickets are sold, it could mean a payout of $30,600.

“The best case scenario is it goes down to the last card and the worst case is the ace is picked on the first night, but that means we just start over again,” said Pigeon.

She heard of the contest out East and wanted to bring it to Renfrew.

“I thought it was an amazing way to raise funds but I was turned down because it was not allowed in Ontario until August,” she explained.

There are a few other community groups currently running Catch The Ace, the Ontario name for the fundraiser, in Ottawa, Toronto and Kingston.

“The town has licensed us as a pilot project in Renfrew,” said Pigeon.

“It will be more controlled than the one out east as there are a limited amount of tickets each week.”

The lottery is open to everyone 18 years of age and older.

Tickets can be purchased Monday to Friday at the Wing office and the lounge, 164 Argyle St. South, after 3 p.m.

The deadline to purchase tickets for each draw will be Wednesday at 7 p.m. and the draw will take place every Wednesday at 8 p.m. You do not have to be present to win.

For more information about the fundraiser call 613-432-4485.

GRAND ROUNDS Big city style coming to Renfrew runway Erica Wark is one of the nation’s top style experts and she’s excited to help local ladies up their fashion game.

Wark is known for sharing her tips and advice on talk shows like Etalk, The Social and The Marilyn Denis Show, but she’s making a very special appearance at GEM Hall in Groves Park Lodge on Friday, November 4.

“With family connections to Renfrew it is really exciting to be involved. I am pleased to be part of the event for RVH staff and the community,” shares Wark.

Her presentation will include a live fashion experience with RVH staff helping to model clothing provided by local retailer, Reitmans. Wark will provide tips and free style advice as part of the evening of well-being and fun for all women.

RN Erin Prentice, organizer of the event, says this is a unique opportunity for our community:

“In my line of work we tend to stop taking care of ourselves, providing care to others first; most women are too busy and don’t have the time to think about looking stylish.

This night is about taking that time, having fun, building confidence and learning tricks to look our best from one of the best in the business,” she comments.

Doors will open at 6:45 p.m. to the public, but Prentice expects a full house and advises to purchase tickets in advance. All proceeds will benefit the RVH Foundation.

This event will follow an exclusive presentation featuring guest speaker Lois Wilkie for RVH nursing professionals under BPSO. Ticket price is $10 and can be picked up at the Foundation office on the main level at RVH, or reserved by calling 613-432-4851 ext. 312 for more information.

Fashion expert Erica Wark will be the guest speaker at a special RVH event at GEM Hall in Groves Park Lodge on Friday, November 4.

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, October 27, 2016 25

Booting it throughout the Valley one line dance at a time W.D. Tessier

In 1990, Valerie (Val) Penno of Braeside had a dream. As a school teacher, she was already busy helping others learn. But this time, besides teaching school children reading and writing and ‘rithmetic including a little dancing, she started to focus on adults by offering line dancing classes. She has now been teaching line dancing for 26 years and is still passionate about this dance form. She laughs as she recounts that it’s not uncommon now for her to run into “her kids” as she calls her now mature students, who say “Mrs. Penno, I still remember how to do the Tush Push!”

For those who think they know line dancing, Penno says it’s no longer your good old country and western music dance steps nor disco.

It is a choreographed form of popular dance incorporating a repeating sequence of steps. Because the dance steps can be in patterns of 32 or 48 or 64 steps, it is also a great memory worker as well as being excellent physical exercise. While it first started in the 50s, like all forms of dance, line dancing evolved to suit new trends, new moves and new music.

How does the Burning Love or the Cardio Jive sound? Pretty darn lively, I’ll tell ya!

SUBMITTED

Val Penno has now been teaching line dancing for 26 years and is still passionate about this dance form.

Line dancing is identical steps performed by a group of dancers in one or more lines, circles, triangles or squares, and also now performed to all genres of music. It also incorporates all kinds of dance moves by both men and women. Dancers can do popular or performance line dance, the former being dancing for one’s self, and the latter is dancing or performing for others.

Currently Penno’s performance troupe consists of two gentlemen and eight to 10 ladies, and they are available should you need to fill an entertainment spot for your organi-

zation, just call Val at 613-623-7110.

Penno calls her dancers the Valley Booters and together they have made a concerted and continuing effort to bring line dancing to the people of the Ottawa Valley. Visit their Facebook page to see them in action, and look for her dance events in different local Facebook groups. Her troupe has performed for free at fairs, plowing matches, senior citizen residences, seniors’ clubs, Victorian teas, and festivals such as the local White Pine where the Valley Booters all gladly dance to entertain those attending.

They also regularly do fundraisers for charitable causes. Costumes for the troupe are de rigueur as they don outfits to suit, say, a local 50s themed car show, or red and black checked shirts for the county plowing match.

Penno and the Valley Booters even shot a ‘Splash Dance’ video in the splash pad to promote the Robert Simpson Park for the town of Arnprior.

That park’s gazebo is also a favourite place for the troupe to practice in summer months, and what a view.

Passersby are always entertained and sometime join in. You name it, Penno sees to it the troupe rises to the occasion.

Her students don’t know how she does it as they’re usually pooped after one dance class, but this feisty little dancer has incredible stamina. She

pulls on her boots and off she goes to teach Mondays in Renfrew at the Horton Community Centre, Castleford Road, 4:30 to 7 p.m. (beginners/ improvers), Tuesdays at Shooter’s Bar and Grill in Calabogie from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. (and you’re welcome to stay for dinner after class); Wednesdays at the Almonte Town Hall from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. and Thursdays at the Arnprior School of Dance on 44 MacDonald St. from 3 to 5 p.m.

If dancing keeps you young then this enthusiastic teacher will make it past 100. Her students often remark on her phenomenal memory as it’s seldom they stump Penno as to how a dance is done. It’s a standing joke in her classes when she asks the class after many repetitions “How does it start?” that she’s often the only one who knows as the rest have forgotten after 32 steps. Penno is also supportive of her fellow instructors. For example, she was also a dance teacher and mentor for many years to Hyacinth Chatterton who later went on to form her own dance troupe locally.

Both teachers get their groups together occasionally for “dance socials” where dance instructors invited from other areas (one, Ira Weisburd, from as far away as Florida) come to teach their groups new dances. Penno has also graciously promoted Wendy and Denis Tessier who teach couples’ dancing locally as they also perform

in Penno’s troupe as line dancers, but also demonstrate couples’ dances to Valley Booter audiences.

If you’re looking for affordable fun, mental stimulation, exercise or just want to meet new people, line dancing is it. Penno does teach beginners and works to advance their level of dance. Dances are done until mastered, then reviewed in subsequent weeks.

Those who progress are then challenged with slightly harder steps as it’s a continual learn, review, and perform cycle. Penno is quick to point out that if you join her class there is no requirement to perform with the troupe. Auditioning for the troupe is offered to more advanced students who are willing to give it a try, and an incentive to the newcomers to improve their dance ability. She notes, too, that line dancing has the added advantage of giving you steps you can perform at any dance as local bands always play line-danceable songs.

There’s no need for cowboy boots or hats; you can wear whatever you want to class so long as your shoes allow you to be comfortable and turn easily.

So, if this is something you’ve long had on your bucket list, now’s the time to tick it off! There’s still a lot of dancing left in 2016, before you kick up your heels anew in 2017.

ment is so big and you go inside and it’s like ‘Wow.’” Brun also got a chance to see Ottawa and go camping at Algonquin Park.

“I really liked it, it is a beautiful city,” said Brun. “I really enjoyed it, we went to the museums and it was really interesting.”

They also both tried poutine.

There is a European flair at Renfrew Collegiate Institute (RCI) this school year.

The Raiders have welcomed two exchange students who started classes in September.

Julie Brun is a Grade 12 student from France and is matched up with Eli Scott, a Grade 11 student at RCI. Brun wanted to do an exchange to be exposed to a different country.

“I wanted to create links and friends in another country,” said Brun.

“I wanted to learn a new culture and improve my English.”

Scott, who will soon leave for France, wanted to improve her French.

“I hope to explore a new culture and have a global experience,” said Scott.

Brun likes Renfrew and calls it a whole different experience. In France, she goes to school until 5 or 6 p.m. and at RCI class is done at 2:30 p.m.

She is from a small village and has to travel to the city to go shopping so she finds Renfrew different as everything is right in town.

Alejandro Diaz is a Grade 11 student from Spain and is on exchange for the entire school year through the Rotary Club.

His father is involved in Rotary and he had heard other people’s experienc-

“It is very good,” said Diaz.

“I loved it,” said Brun.

Scott is looking forward to when she goes to France.

“She’s awesome and we get along really well.”

RCI principal Terry Hughes says the school normally has some exchange students and says its good for students to come here.

Dog races in Bristol Oct. 29 and 30 Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

And they are off to the races.

The dog races that is.

The Bristol Dryland Canadian Championship Dog Race is set for Oct. 29 and 30 in Bristol, Que. The races started in 2010 with 55 teams and last year they had 255 teams from 16 different countries around the world.

“This is a very exciting show,” said Denis Rozon, who has been racing for 43 years and is the chief organizer .

“You have the best racers and the fastest dogs in the world.”

According to its website, last year the event won three International Sled Dog Racing Association awards for the event in bikejoring, twodog scooter and six-dog rig class.

The race is billed as having the largest purse, over $10,000, and is one of the biggest dryland races in the world.

The Bristol Dryland race was ranked third worldwide in 2010 by all registered racers, as noted on its website.

There are a number of different places from which to view the races.

“There are bleachers 20 feet high so you can see the teams coming in from far away. You can also watch them from the starting line, finish or go out on a trail,” said Rozon.

The races take place at 36 Chemin Ragged Chute, Que., with free admission and a free shuttle from the parking lot to the start line.

There will also be a display with 18 teepees set up at the race site.

“It’s something to see,” said Rozon.

There is at least one local participating in the races: Kiara Brintnell from Douglas will be competing in the eight-dog race.

There are a number of different categories in which racers and their dogs can compete, such as: scooter, canicross, bikejoring and four, six, and eight-dog rigs.

Racing gets started on Saturday at 8 a.m. with a lunch break at 12:30 and continues until 4 p.m.

On Sunday, the racing starts at 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. with an awards ceremony at 5:30.

There will also be local entertainment on site.

Also on site will be vendors selling food, beverages and merchandise.

New hockey partnership for Horton Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

Hockey is back in Horton, with a new partner offering more ice time for local players.

Horton hockey is being ‘Powered by Kyla’s Kids Club and Jumpstart.’

This new partnership will allow Horton players, whose season normally starts in January, a chance to play indoors as soon as possible until December at the Beachburg Arena.

“We do not usually have outdoor ice ‘til January so this will give us the opportunity to have the children start in the fall and have a full hockey season,” said Kathleen Rogers, recreation program manager for Horton. “This will give us the opportunity to have our children play a friendly game of hockey with the Beachburg team and hopefully they will come and play on our outdoor ice once it is ready.”

Rogers is very excited about the new partnership.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity for us and we certainly like working with a different municipality,” said Rogers. “Anything we can do to get

our kids out and be active is wonderful.”

Registration is now open for boys and girls ages five to 14 for $150, the season will run from October to mid-March and $50 from each registration will be donated to Kyla’s Kids Club.

Hugh Martin started the club after his daughter Kyla passed away to help kids who may face a financial burden due to high costs.

He has had a number of successful fundraisers over the past few years and has a good supply of equipment, including skates, to lend out to those in need.

“I think it will be a great partnership. He is very fortunate he is able to fundraise and getting lots of sponsors,” said Rogers. “Every $50 we get is being donated to Kyla’s Kids Club and its guaranteed ice time, at least two nights a week in Beachburg.”

Horton hockey is also looking for volunteer coaches for the program.

Registration Forms can be found online at www.hortontownship.ca For more information call Rogers 613-4333303 or email krogers@hortontownship.ca .

Sweeping in the new season New recreation programs in Renfrew Andy Sklepowicz

skip’s draw to the button in the fifth end. In the second game the opposition curled flawlessly for five ends and the home team was erratic throughout the entire game but managed (were lucky!) to take five points in sixth and third in the eighth to steal a victory!

Seems they napped after enjoying a wonderful lunch prepared and served by Yvonne, Sue, Rachel and Leith, just recovering in time to win 9-8! A special thanks to Russ who not only tended bar but also carried up and stored the many cases of beer that were delivered that day.

The other set of games featured a strong local flavour as Deep River called on Renfrew for three players to help them out to defeat Arnprior three games to one. And once again I was begged to play, but not by the short handed Deep River teams but by my fellow Renfrewites. Do you think they’re trying to tell me something? Joe Kasaboski joined in to help win our two games while George Burton was on his own and managed a single win.

And coming up in November, a new community spiel in support of the Sunshine Coach, put on by Lee Sharpe, Lauren Scott and friends.

The extravaganza runs on the Nov. 19 weekend, featuring six-end games and lots of food and prizes, and all for a good cause. More information next week.

Behind the Glass

The start of curling in all leagues is always an interesting one as new and returning players add a touch of spice to the competitive teams that play Monday night and often travel to spiels and participate in provincial playdowns.

But this year’s changes had a strong dose of pepper as many of the top male and female teams displayed major changes, completely altering the flavour of each team that promises some hot competition.

In opening Low Cup action, Renfrew played host to the longest running interclub competition in the Valley. Renfrew hosted Pembroke and started the year as they finished the last one with four convincing wins and a top place standing after round one.

The team of Rob Warren, Don Rouble, Andy Miller and Humphries stole their way to their wins giving up only two ends in each game and winning 10-5 and 10-2. Any time that happens the lead has done his job well.

Dave Eady with Jim Berg, Rory McKay and Bernie Leclaire controlled the morning game winning 9-4 and were in control of the match throughout with the home team playing well and capitalizing on the opposition’s errors.

TO THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF ONTARIO WHEREAS Electricity rates have risen by more than 300% since the current Government took office; and WHEREAS over half of Ontarians’ power bills are regulatory and delivery charges and the Global Adjustment; and WHEREAS the Global Adjustment is a tangible measure of how much Ontario must over-pay for unneeded wind and solar power, and the cost of off-loading excess power to our neighbours at a loss; and WHEREAS the market rate for electricity, according to Independent Electrical System Operator (IESO) data, has been less than 3 cents per kWh to date in 2016, yet the Government’s lack of responsible science-based planning has not allowed these reductions to be passed on to Ontarians, resulting in electrical bills several times more than that amount; and WHEREAS the implementation of Cap-and-Trade will drive the cost of electricity even higher and deny Ontarians the option to choose affordable natural gas heating; and WHEREAS more and more Ontarians are being forced to cut down on essential expenses such as food and medicines in order to pay their increasingly unaffordable electricity bills; and WHEREAS the ill-conceived energy policies of this Government that ignored the advice of independent experts and government agencies, such as the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) and the IESO, and are not based on science have resulted in Ontarians’ electricity costs rising, despite lower natural gas costs and increased energy conservation in the Province; WE, THE UNDERSIGNED, PETITION THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF ONTARIO AS FOLLOWS: To take immediate steps to reduce the total cost of electricity paid for by Ontarians, including costs associated with power consumed, the Global Adjustment, delivery charges, administrative charges, tax and any other charges added to Ontarians’ energy bills.

Really Cool Initiatives gets set to launch We Are Family Really Cool Initiatives

Members of Really Cool Initiatives are working hard on their new musical tribute to Broadway, the Big Screen and Beyond, entitled We Are Family.

The new show explores the theme of family in all its forms, sometimes happy, sometimes sad but always entertaining.

The cast of 40 performers and musicians are all local and are all volunteering their time working to mount a show that will be pleasing to all ages.

We Are Family revolves around an original script that will tie the musical selections together and will feature storytellers Kathryn Bossy, Jo-Anne Dowdall-Brown and Mallory Brumm.

The show will be presented at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School in an evening performance on Friday, Nov. 4 at 7 p.m. and for a matinee on Sunday, Nov. 6 at 2 p.m. Seating is limited and advance tickets are recommended. Tickets are on sale now for the reasonable price of $10 each and are available at Aikenhead’s Drug Store and J.S. Wilson Financial Management.

The ever-popular J.S. Wilson Financial Management Dinner Theatre will be back for its 16th annual event on Saturday, Nov. 5 with a reception beginning at 4:30 p.m., dinner at 6 p.m. followed by the performance of We Are Family at 7 p.m.

Proceeds from this year’s event will be donated to Sunshine Coach. Further information is available by contacting Teresa at

Tradyo Turns Your Clutter Into Cash.

613-432-5617.

The show features musical selections from such Broadway shows as Les Miserables, Sister Act, Hamilton and many others. In addition, popular musical selections that will be familiar to audiences will be featured. To round out the music inventory will be some original songs written specifically for We Are Family.

“We have deliberately kept our ticket prices at an affordable ten dollars each since 2001 in order to make our shows available to the widest possible audience,” says producer Kathy Dagg. “There will be something to appeal to everyone in this show and we look forward to showcasing a truly remarkable group of talented local performers.”

Legion hosts annual remembrance contest

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

Renfrew Branch 148 is once again sponsoring a remembrance contest, which is open to all Canadian students in the school system including homeschooled children in the local area. Information kits have been delivered to all schools in the Renfrew area, are available at the Legion office and also online at www.on.legion.ca/remembrance/ youth-programs. Entries must be submitted to the Renfrew Legion by Nov. 10, for judging.

Cash prizes and certificates will be awarded for first, second and third place in the primary, junior, intermediate and senior divisions. Entries eligible for zone, district and provincial level vie for additional cash prizes and certificates.

Last year, the Renfrew branch received well over 200 entries for the contest and hope to have the same response this year. Judging for all contests will take place on or after Remembrance Day with results available soon after.

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

Winners will be announced at the close of the contest.

“Once all the dust has settled we will let everyone know,” said Gourley. “Last year we had 450 entries and we try to beat that every year.”

This year they have eliminated the weigh-in fee. Last year they weighed in approximately 60 deer.

There will also be a 50/50 draw with proceeds going to the Renfrew Fish and Game Club.

Special Hunting/Outdoor Feature

Question and answer with the MNR for hunting season The following is a list of question and answers from the Ministry of Natural Resources as a reference for hunters.

Question 1: What should hunters know about the kind of clothing to wear when they go out this hunting season?

Answer 1: A hunter orange garment and head cover must be worn.

The hunter orange garment must cover a minimum of 400 square inches (2,580 square centimetres) above the waist and be visible from all sides.

Open mesh or camouflage hunter orange must not be part of the 400 square inches.

Page 25 of Hunting Regulations Summary Q2: Is attire common knowledge about what to wear, because I know a lot of hunters like to wear camouflage?

A2: The “hunter orange” requirement during the open gun season for deer has been in place since 1997.

It has been very effective safety regulation and it has been widely accepted by hunters across the province.

During other hunting periods “hunter orange” is not required but it’s always a best practice to wear hunter orange.

Q3: What kind of precautions should hunters know about carrying their weapons to a hunting site and beyond that?

A3: Page 26 of Hunting Regulations Summary It is illegal to have a loaded firearm in or on, or discharge a firearm from, an aircraft, vehicle (including snowmobile and all-terrain vehicle) or motorboat.

Page 23 of Hunting Regulations Summary If you are in an area usually inhabited by wildlife, during the period from half an hour after sunset to half an hour before sunrise you must unload and encase any firearms (including air guns, pellet guns, bows or crossbows) in your possession.

Q4: Are there a lot of violations during hunting seasons?

A4: While conservation officers encounter violations on occasion the majority of hunters support the regulations put in place to protect public safety and to properly manage Ontario’s natural resources.

Page 29 of Hunting Regulations Summary If you see or suspect abuse of a natural resource, please call 1-877-847-7667 toll-free any time to report a violation or call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.

Q5: What is the most common violation?

A5:The most common preventable offences conservation officers encounter are licence related – either failure to have the appropriate licence to failure to carry the licence and its components (Outdoors Card, licence tag, game seal).

While it is not the most common category of preventable offence the most important category of preventable offence relates to public safety – at all times being careful to handle and discharge firearms with proper care and consideration for people and property.

Q6: If you’re going out hunting for a weekend, should you let someone know where you’re going and where the trip could take 42 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, October 27, 2016

you?

A6: MNRF Backgrounder 2016: Be Safe and Follow the Rules During Hunting Season • Tell someone where you will be hunting and when you will be returning.

• Know the weather conditions in your hunting area and dress accordingly.

• In an emergency, stay calm and stay put.

• Avoid hypothermia. Know how to treat it if it strikes.

• Keep rested, hydrated and well nourished.

• Carry a survival kit and a small first aid kit with you at all times.

• Know how to build a fire in all weather conditions and carry the supplies to start one.

• Carry a map and compass or GPS unit and know how to use them.

Q7: Is it legal to hunt from a tree and if so what should hunters know if they plan on doing that?

A7: Hunting from a tree stand is lawful but must be done carefully.

MNRF Backgrounder 2016: Be Safe and Follow the Rules During Hunting Season: If you hunt from a tree stand, always wear a safety harness and using a haul rope to raise and lower your unloaded firearm.

Q8: What should hunters bring with them if they plan on camping where they are hunting?

A8: Page 27 of Hunting Regulations Summary.

Most Crown land and conservation reserves are available year round for personal, temporary use, at no cost.

Please note, however, that restrictions may apply in some areas.

Page 26 of Hunting Regulations Summary A hunting licence does not give a hunter the right to enter private property. ALWAYS ask for permission and obey signs.

Q9: What do we need to know about hunting seals?

A9: Game seals (often called “tags”) are an important component of a deer hunting licence.

Page 14 of Hunting Regulations Summary It is illegal to transfer, buy, sell or give a licence, validation tag, game seal or any component of a licence to another person.

It is also illegal to use or possess a licence tag, validation tag, game seal or any component of a licence that was issued to someone else.

[Y]ou must carry your Outdoors Card, the licence tag, any validation tags and any game seals with you while hunting.

(Validation tags and game seals are considered to be part of the licence.)

You must show the Outdoors Card and licence to a conservation officer if asked to do so.

Page 60 of Hunting Regulations Summary If you have killed a deer while hunting alone, you must, immediately after the kill and at the kill site, securely attach the game seal to the animal in the manner described on the instruction panel attached to the game seal or found on the back of the game seal.

The seal must remain attached while transporting the carcass.

A person who seals a deer must notch out the month, day and time of the kill on the

game seal.

Only the hunter whose game seal is to be used is allowed to attach the game seal to the deer.

It is illegal to transfer a game seal in order to seal a deer.

Q10: Is there certain licenses need to possess before they go out hunting game?

A10: Page 14 of Hunting Regulations Summary If you wish to hunt, you must have a licence valid for the species or group of species you are hunting.

Q11: If we are in a group and plan on going out, is there certain things we should know?

A11: Page 60 of Hunting Regulations Summary

If party hunting for deer, the member whose licence has been validated for the type that has been killed must, immediately after the kill and at the kill site, securely attach the game seal to the animal in the manner described on the instruction panel attached to the game seal or found on the back of the game seal.

Q12: How many seals can one hunter have throughout the season?

A12: Generally hunters will have one game seal that comes with their licence to hunt deer.

CAVANAGH – In memory of Ron Cavanagh who passed away 25 years ago October 22, 1991, three weeks after our 25th Wedding Anniversary Party at our home.

The Voice of the Wind When the warm breeze of April caresses you Part of it will be me.

When you look in the eyes of my children, Part of them will be me.

When a snowflake in winter Plants a kiss on your cheek, That kiss may well have been me And the dust which appears out of nowhere, May be part of the dust that was me.

Through the promises of morning, And the voice of the wind, I will always have something to say, To reflect on those wonderful moments, And warm you as you make your way.

All things that we both were a part of, Will continue to brighten each day.

Making room for the sounds of your laughter By remembering I’m not that far away.

Always remembered, Especially 22 days ago at our grandson, Bryce Ronald Cavanagh’s wedding and our 50th wedding anniversary with a dance with all our family for you.

Love you forever, Melba, Brent, Darlene, Barry, Kelly, Jennifer, Chris, Bryce, Jessica, Emma, Rachel, Holly, Grace, Liam, and our new granddaughter Michalic.

Audrey thinks her luck is looking up when she is asked on date My sister Audrey was getting desperate. Her best friend Iva had a steady boyfriend, Melany was already married, and Audrey only went out once, on what could be called a real date, and that boy from the Barr Line latched on to a girl from Douglas right after, and had been taking her to the church socials ever since.

Mother assured her, her time would come. After all, she was still young, and in her last year at the Northcote School.

Secretly, I was delighted that Audrey didn’t have a steady beau. That meant the long winter nights could be spent with the both of us sitting at the kitchen table going through Eaton’s catalogue, a pastime I dearly loved.

Out of the blue one night, the phone rang, and it was for Audrey and a lad from several miles away

asked her to a dance in Douglas.

Well, was she excited and by Saturday night she had tried on every dress in her scant wardrobe and that day her hair had been tied up in rags and her lisle stockings washed and hung beside the Findlay Oval to be dried.

I could see the dim lights of the lad’s car coming in our long lane and I was thoroughly disappointed that Audrey ran outside to meet him before he had a chance to come into

the kitchen so that I could get a good look at him.

It was going to be a long evening ahead. I played jacks, looked through the catalogue on my own, which was no fun at all, and was colouring the picture in the Ottawa Farm Journal on the “Children’s Page”. I doubted Mother would let me stay up until Audrey got home, and I knew I wouldn’t shut an eye until she crawled into bed beside me.

It was sure going to be a long evening ahead.

It seemed to me that less than an hour had passed when we heard a car come in the yard, then we heard a car door slam, and Audrey burst into the kitchen like she had been shot out of a cannon!

She was talking so fast, I could hardly understand what she was saying.

Mother told her to calm down and Emerson offered that he thought the lad must have turned out to be a Catholic.

Well, finally Audrey calmed down enough to tell us, he hardly spoke a word. She had to do all the talking all the way to Douglas and when they reached the dance hall, he left her standing at the door and he headed right over to a group of boys standing across the room.

He finally wandered over to where she was, grabbed her hand and headed for the dance floor. “Other than a few grunts, he never said a word.

I did all the talking.” It turned out he wasn’t much better at dancing, either.

“I told him I had a headache and wanted to go home. I even had to get my own coat, because he headed for the door as if he couldn’t wait to get

‘Middle Eastern Meets Local Food’ fundraising dinner comes to Eganville Nov. 5 Join the Ottawa Valley Food Co-op and Valley Welcome for a memorable ‘Middle Eastern Meets Local Food’ dinner on Saturday, Nov. 5 at the Eganville Legion, 57 Pontiac St, in Eganville.

Local food lovers will have a unique opportunity to taste delicious Ottawa Valley flavours done up with an delicately spiced exotic

flair, when sous chef Jodie Campbell, with assistance from local Syrian community cooks, prepare and serve a mouthwatering Middle Eastern sit-down meal using ingredients from Ottawa Valley Food Co-operative local food producers.

Delight your senses with the sights, smells and tastes of Middle Eastern foods beautifully

displayed and lightly seasoned. You will have a chance to taste dishes like; baba ghanoush, beet hummus, falafel with tahini-lemon dip, kibbeh, middle eastern fermented pickles, tabouli, Middle Eastern spiced rice and chicken, spiced minced beef with squash, topped off with the traditional Middle Eastern desserts of baklava and kataif asafeeri - and many more

outside.”

I hated to admit it, but I was secretly delighted the date had turned out so badly.

My beloved sister wouldn’t be tearing out of the house every Saturday night after all!

Audrey’s rag-wrapped curls were hanging over her forehead and she had mud on her newly washed lisle stockings. Her final words summed up the night in proper fashion.

“He’s as dead as a mackerel. He just doesn’t have the brains to lie down.”

Renfrew Art Guild

Richard Gill from Burnstown, will be speaking at the Renfrew Art Guild on Nov. 1. At left is one of his creations.

Gill regards his latest works ‘Salon of the Masters’ as his finest work.

SUBMITTED

Doing this column I’ve touched on art, types of mediums and generally tried to interest people in the world of art.

Artists are friends, comrades and at the Renfrew Art Guild (RAG), they have been willing to share their secrets and passions.

We are reaching all the way to Burnstown to bring you such an artist.

RICHARD GILL

That is Richard Gill a renowned artist, whose dimensional clay sculptures are hung in galleries here and internationally.

The detail and perspective on all of his pieces brings the viewer into the scene.

Last year’s show ‘The Masters as Muse’ was a step further into detail and dimension.

Richard has just completed his latest works, which are on display at the Bittersweet Gallery.

He regards his latest works ‘Salon of the Masters’ as his finest work.

Everyone agrees with him that he has gone a step further into the mind of the artists and scenes he is portraying.

Richard will be taking us through his thought process of these latest pieces at our next meeting.

THIS WEEKS FEATURE ITEM

It is exciting when an artist takes you down their creative road.

Please join us, it should be a wonderful evening.

The Renfrew Art Guild is welcoming Jack Stekelenburg as chairman and Chantal Richard as secretary. Thank you to Fred Halliwell for chairing for the past three years.

The guild looks forward to more events in the coming months.

For many years I have been writing this column with the hopes of encouraging others to be involved in art and have fun with art.

Like everything else, sometimes you need to pass the reins to another.

That person will be Chris Mussett, former art teacher at Renfrew Collegiate Institute, but a true artist in his own right.

Chris brings a lot of knowledge to this column and I know he will perk your interest.

So if you are an artist, coming back to art, or just want to hear Richard speak, come to our next meeting. It will be Nov. 1, TrinitySt. Andrew’s United Church, 291 Plaunt St. (please use Quarry Avenue entrance) at 7 p.m.

A Swiss Teams event for duplicate bridge drew 13 tables at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre Oct. 19. The always-popular team event is a partial roundrobin setup in such a way that winners play winners and losers play losers.

After each round in Swiss Teams, the game director (Dave Sulpher) sorts the team records and sets up new matches between teams of approximately equal records.

In general, teams are not permitted to play against each other more than once.

At the end of a match, the eastwest pair returns to their home table where they compare their scores with their teammates.
