News – Are Renfrew taxpayers interested in helping to fund private development for the overall betterment of the town? Renfrew council hopes to learn just that as surveys are circulated in advance of a Nov. 25 decision on creation of a Community Improvement Plan (CIP) for the town. Municipalities can’t use taxpayer dollars for incentives for private development and improvements without such designation. The survey asks people to rank seven local objectives and programs in order of importance: building façades, brownfields (undeveloped or previously-developed properties that may be contaminated), heritage buildings, energy efficiency standards, construction of residential units, accessibility and the rebating of planning application fees and building permit fees. Copies of the survey are available at the town hall, Chamber of Commerce office on Raglan Street or on the town website. The survey deadline is

Tuesday, Nov. 8 and council is scheduled to debate the findings at its Monday, Nov. 25 regular meeting. Elected officials and town staff aside, 12 people attended last week’s meeting, representing such groups as the local planning advisory committee, Renfrew Industrial Commission, Renfrew and Area Chamber of Commerce and Business Improvement Area. In Renfrew’s Official Plan the entire town is designated as a CIP zone, unlike neighbouring Arnprior who earmarked only five specific areas for taxpayer loans or grants. During what was described as a “101 on Community Improvement Plans and financial incentives,” ministry planner John Macdonald and Municipal Act senior advisor Stephen Seller presented a 33-page report on CIPs. Renfrew and Area Chamber of Commerce president Rob Campbell noted the spinoff benefits of community improvement, an opinion shared by many in the room. “Development is contagious,” Macdonald agreed. He has three CIP drafts for other municipalities on his desk right now. CIPs require the use of town coffers, with a designated amount set aside each year and generally dispersed on a firstcome, first-served basis. See CIP SURVEY, page 3

The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is investigating and no charges are expected. OPP officers responded to the collision on Sunday afternnoon at around 3:20 p.m. A 1984 Honda Motorcycle was travelling south on Ma-

tawatchan Road about two kilometres north of Centennial Lake Road. The Honda crossed over the centre line on a curve and was struck by a 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche pick-up truck travelling in the opposite direction. The driver of the motorcycle died at the scene. The driver of the pick-up truck and his passenger were not injured. Both vehicles were severely

CIP survey Continued from front

Without a CIP, the town can’t waive building fees, one of the existing barriers to growth. This area is not taxpayer-assisted. Instead, developers would pay the fee up front in full and the town would grant the money back when certain conditions were met. The town would also decide what percentage of assistance it chooses to give on such items as building permits “Typically municipalities will put in conditions that if you have tax arrears, or if you owe money for other things, you can’t take part in this program,” Seller explained. Every year the town would budget how much it chooses to place in the CIP pot, said Seller, and when that money is gone, that money is gone. He said if there’s real big take up, council may decide to increase the amount dedicated to CIP the next year, “But those are local decisions.” Of the seven sectors eligible for CIP assistance, brownfields is the only area where some provincial dollars are available. “Brownfields present a unique opportunity to repurpose for residential use,” said Seller. If Renfrew council votes to proceed, it would hire a consultant to prepare a background re-

port, as well as draft and final versions of the CIP. That cost would be included in the town’s 2014 operating budget and financed from either tax revenue or reserves. The ministry officials also advised council to keep the public engaged and informed throughout the process, beyond the statutory public meeting. As part of the town’s commitment to public input, the full Oct. 24 presentation can be viewed on the town’s website. “The surveys are very important and we are truly looking for the community’s input,” said Renfrew director of development and works Mike Asselin. Renfrew Industrial Commission executive director Dave Lemkay summarized that the bottom line is that the supporting money behind the CIP is the town budget, and the question is how much appetite there is for tax dollars to go to this. Town planner Ivan Burton agreed. “Part of the reason for public consultation is to get a sense of how much the public is willing to spend - this is their tax dollar, ultimately – on these type of projects,” Seller added. For more information on the CIP process, Burton can be contacted at 613-432-8166 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday, or by email at iburton@town.renfrew.on.ca It could be January 2015 before the final CIP is implemented and applications accepted.

News - Two of Canada’s great food entrepreneurs – Chris Emery and Larry Finnson – took centre stage during last Friday’s Bridges to Better Business seminar in the Renfrew Armouries. Their Clodhoppers candy, made from Chris Emery’s grandmother’s recipe, was a top-10 candy brand in Canada before they sold to Brookside Foods in 2005, making $5 million, plus royalties, for themselves and their shareholders. And now the Winnipeg natives and best friends have turned their second venture in the candy industry sales at the top of the Canadian charts for their OMG’s candy. For 90 minutes, they occupied the stage to tell their 15-year story of business mistakes, challenges, successes and lessons learned the second time, and to provide substantial answers to insightful questions from business owners in the audience. Delegates also received free bags of OMG’s Candy, for which the pair received a round of applause, as Emery responded, “I’m feeling loved.” He and Finnson were temporarily out of the candy business after signing a no-compete clause as part of their sale of Clodhoppers. But they resurrected themselves in the candy industry after appearing on the CBC program, Dragons’ Den, in early 2012, and convincing marketing maven Arlene Dickinson to invest $250,000 in their gourmet convection for a 50 per cent share in the business. With the help from a family member, who provided some start-up cash, the pair began making Clodhoppers in the back of a used bakery equipment building. Making about 50 pounds of candy an hour, they first sold the product around the city of Winnipeg. To no one’s surprise, Emergy said publicity and public relations have played huge roles in the success of Clodhoppers and OMG’s Candy, but at first Clodhoppers’ success depended on growing word of mouth. “That word of mouth and the P.R, and countless magazines (articles) have proven to be a very valuable tool,” said Emery, alluding to the first Toronto trade show they attended and how a Toronto Star

food critic’s article said they had the best new candy in the world. “When you get that validation from articles and from winning awards … really helps you in those moments of doubt that you always come to when you start a business,” said Emery. “It really helps you. It helps motivate you.” Sources of inspiration also came at the darndest of times. The name Clodhoppers, for example, happened two years before Emery’s grandmother made the famous-recipe-to-be, when a friend trudged into a party in his boots, and Finnson told him to get his Clodhoppers off. Initially, the candy was sold in a peanut butter jar, but that packaging was later improved after Finnson’s wife Carolyn suggested they put it into a box. That meant pre-packaging. Machines that do this pre-packaging can cost $250,000, which Emery and Finnson didn’t have, so they found a used potatochip packaging machine from FritoLay for $5,000. One of the next big moves was when Walmart decided to carry Clodhoppers nation-wide in 1998. Knowing that Walmart has high standards for delivery of product, this momentum carried into gaining contracts with Zellers and Loblaws. But this also required a new packaging machine, which happened when Emery and Finnson got a highinterest loan of $100,000 from a venture capitalist. Helping them along the way was solicited or fortuitous exposure, including appearance on Venture, predecessor to Dragons’ Den, and meeting the Walmart USA chief executive officer at a Walmart venue show. This led to selling Clodhoppers in all 2,700 American Walmart stores. Eventually, the Clodhoppers’ board of directors over-ruled Emery and Finnson in calling for the sale of the company. Emery and Finnson practically flinch on stage when reliving that decision, which is why they did things differently when developing OMG’s Candy. This time they have retained control of the board of directors, by occupying 50 per cent of controlling interest, while Dickinson retains the other half. Emery and Finnson’s

OMG’s Candy co-owners Larry Finnson, left, and Chris Emery tell their story. advice during their talk touched on a wide variety of issues, including family and financial decisions. “We know where to spend our money,” said Finnson, referring to a focus on packaging and big in-store displays that catch the buyers’ attention. “Candy makes people happy, it does,” said Emery, in helping to explain why he and Finnson got back together to create a second economic partnership in the candy industry. “If Larry and I can do that, and make something that’s truly great, that’s a good thing.” Hence, their already strong friendship solidified their feeling that they should try again. “Being in the candy industry for 10 years, and knowing all the pitfalls, you’re still going to make mistakes,” said Emery. “But with all that experience, you’ll make a lot less of them.” Trusting your business partner(s) and your product are keys, no matter what your business experiences, said Finnson and Emery. “It all begins with the product. The taste is crucial,” said Emery. “We used our family and friends and ourselves. I love candy. I eat M&Ms and KitKat all the time, and I try all our competition,” explained Emery, stressing that, as taste-testers, they had to decide if their new product was better than the competition. Also, said Emery, “Ultimately, we’re huge believers in collaboration. See OMG’S, page 5

Ouellet named Enterprise Renfrew County entrepreneur of year Steve Newman Christina Ouellet of The Flower Factory is Enterprise Renfrew County’s entrepreneur of the year. The Renfrew businesswoman accepted the award during the 10th annual Bridges to Better Business seminar at the Renfrew Armouries Oct. 15. More than 170 delegates were on hand for the all-day event, whose highlight was the keynote address by Chris Emery and Larry Finnson of OMG’s Candy. Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon called the event an outstanding opportunity for entrepreneurs to celebrate the enormous contribution made by small and medium enterprises to the

province’s economic wellbeing. Presenters included representatives for Labour Market Group, Valley Employee and Family Assistance Program, Integrated Health Centre, and Calabogie Peaks Resort. The seminar also marked the 25th anniversary of Enterprise Renfrew County, a business self-help organization that began as the Small Business Self-Help Office. One small business that has benefitted from Enterprise Renfrew County’s expertise is The Flower Factory. Owner Christina Ouellet runs the business in Renfrew’s downtown and has been preparing to open a second business, The Dish on Main, in November. Ouellet’s career began

“We think collaboration and partnerships can lead to amazing things. But one of the most important things about partners is that they have the same vision.” In pursuing their vision, they also have to understand what drives their industry, which they say is customer impulse.

“Enterprise Renfrew County wishes you continued success with The Flower Factory and The Dish on Main. There is no substitute for your hard work.” Upon accepting the award, Ouellet said, “I’m absolutely honoured to receive this award.” She then acknowledged that she is creative in her work, but lacks fewer insights into the business side of work, thus the need three years ago to seek Enterprise Renfrew County’s assistance. “I went to see Colleen in January 2010 and asked how do I do this, how do I get bigger, where do I start.

At her Renfrew store, she incorporates floral accents, botanicallyinspired decor, giftware, greeting cards, decorations and other unique décor pieces. She recently expanded to take The Flower Factory into a collaborative business with two other downtown businesses, A Dash of Fab and Valley Needleworx. Ouellet moved her business from a home-based location to downtown after consulting with Enterprise Renfrew County. “Christina, your vision has taken you to a new level,” said business consultant Colleen Sadler.

“So, understanding that, we take all our money and our investment and spend in-store on big displays, which you walk into. Or demoing,” said Emery. “We do have Facebook and we do have Twitter, but we use them in our business more as an extension of our customer service. It’s not what drives our business, or gets us new consumers.” Partnerships also work when partners know the best fit into the puzzle.

“A key, too, is know what you’re good at,” added Finnson. “What are you going to do. What am I going to do. But don’t micro me. Let’s make a decision together. Let me do my thing and you do your thing.” The pair also recommended that business owners uuse a lawyer to register the word marks of their product and register the design. But they say trademarking a recipe isn’t necessary, since other businesses can make small ingredient changes to create a new product.

Community - A Halloween open house at the Admaston-Bromley Public Library was more than a children’s party. It was a chance to celebrate a long list of achievements. Last week was Ontario Public Library Week and the theme was connections. “I just want to share a few ways that the Admaston-Bromley Public Library connects you to your community,� librarian Jane Wouda told the gathering. “We can connect you to the world with our free 24/7 WiFi and access to our computers and fax,� she said. Wouda said the library also helps newcomers to connect to new friends and museum passes connect users to local culture, also for free. The library has added a Museum of Civilization card to its collection of passes. “Of course, one main function of the library is to connect you with the book, magazine or movie you are looking for, either with what we have here on the shelves, or through our inter-library loan service,� Wouda explained. In January, the library will be launching two new databases. Mango Languages offers free software for adult and children to learn more than 50 different languages. A-Z World Travel offers travel guides and up-to-date information on more than 200 major cities around the world. “Both of these databases are free to use, either from home or at the library. All you need is a library card,� said Wouda. The open house also served as an opportunity to launch the library’s newest literacy program – Booksto-Go. The kits were made possible through a grant from the Rural Learning Association and the Sarah Badgley grant. “This grant was created in Sarah’s name because she was a very young girl who loved books, but sadly she died before she had a chance to learn to read herself,� Wouda ex-

Westmeath Con 1 West of Muskrat Lake North Pt lot 18 Sutherland Road Township of Whitewater Region Description of Property The McDonald Burial Ground is a cemetery located at 1437 Sutherland Road, approximately one kilometer southwest of Highway 17 in the historical Township of Westmeath. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest The McDonald Burial Ground is of cultural heritage value or interest as a representative example of a rural small family cemetery of the nineteenth and early twentieth century. It is also of cultural heritage value or interest for its association with members of the McDonald family, veterans of the War of 1812 who were among the earliest settlers in the Westmeath area, west of Muskrat Lake, now known as the Whitewater Region. The cemetery was first used sometime after Walter McDonald petitioned the Crown to acquire the property in 1835. It is the resting place of Walter McDonald and his brothers William and John, all of whom served in the War of 1812: Walter in his Majesty’s Fencibles Regiment, John in the Glengarry Militia and William by hauling a sleigh of ammunition between Kingston and Montreal. Following their service, it took an estimated thirty (30) years for the veterans of the War of 1812 to finalize and transfer land deeds from the government they served and protected. The cemetery also holds the remains of members of several other families who settled in the area in the nineteenth century, including the Livingston, McLeod, Pappin and Bradly families. The last known burial in the cemetery took place in 1924. Objections to the proposed designation must be received by the Clerk of the Township of Whitewater Region by Registered Mail or hand-delivered together with a statement of the reasons for objection and all relevant facts, not later than 4:00 p.m. on the 25th day of November, 2013. Objections will be referred to by Council for a hearing and report. Christine FitzSimons, CAO/Clerk 44 Main Street, P.O.

EDITORIAL

Ghosts of governments past Tonight the streets will crawl with ghouls and goblins. Scary. But not nearly so frightening as the gruesome ghosts of governments past. Past governments, whatever the ilk, are not necessarily a bad thing but they’re huge pylons on the path to progress. The old blame game knows no expiry date, and although we sit two years away from the next federal and provincial elections, don’t be surprised if the races of 2015 are devoid of genuine debate and dedicated, instead, to a tired recounting of errors by past elected officials. Just listen close for the names. Brian Mulroney. Pierre Elliot Trudeau. Dalton McGuinty. Mike Harris. The leaders and records of past govern-

ments will be hauled willy-nilly out of the election war-room bag of tricks to scare voters. But time has proven that party lines are actually little more than lazy labels. Parties repeatedly steal policies and ideas from each other as the winds of public opinion shift. The once unpalatable turns tasty. Case in point: the federal Conservatives decried a bloated, unaccountable, unelected Senate until it saw the advantage of appointing its own stable of lambs. So the wasteful upper chamber of shame lives on and taxpayers continue to finance jobs where the key criteria is that you show up and vote as directed. The skeletons keep rattling in the closet and we keep paying. Now that’s scary.

COLUMN

Questionable behaviour at the gas pumps Steve Newman Steve’s Sixth Sense

The saying is that ignorance is bliss, but I beg to differ. I reject that analysis when it comes to the behaviour witnessed too commonly around local gas stations. Renfrew County residents, and probably the residents in a good many other counties, already have a few manners to improve on when it comes to where and when to wear baseball caps. I suspect most readers of the Mercury wouldn’t approve of their kids or spouse wearing a hat while eating at their home’s own dinner table or in a local restaurant? Ditto regarding the wearing of hats in public meetings, especially in more formal surroundings, i.e., a municipal council chambers. Call me old-fashioned and

outdated, but if you do I’ll be surprised if you say the same regarding common behaviour at local gas stations. I’ll set the scenario and you be the judge. I pull into a gas station in Eganville. There are two pumps on my side of the island, so I advance as far as I can to the farthest one, so anyone coming behind me can automatically use the other tank. While I’m filling up, a woman pulls in and stops at the first available pump on the other side, even though there’s another pump in front of her. Meanwhile, another female driver pulls up and sits in her car waiting, unable to fill her tank. After the one woman leaves, the one waiting pulls in and also parks in the same place, preventing anyone behind her from being served until she’s finished. As she gets out of the car, I

I shake my head, literally, and wonder. Just that, wonder what the world has come to when basic manners have gone the way of the dinosaurs, especially when one has the opportunity to set an example for their offspring, and doesn’t. Heading in to pay my bill, I mention to the cashier how much money I’d have if I had a buck for every time someone pulls into a gas bar and doesn’t advance far enough for two people to get gas at the same time. To which, the cashier says in an agreeable tone, “I know, we see that all the time.� Pity.

Organizers wish to thank the following for making the run possible: • the many volunteers who ensured the day ran smoothly, • Miss Teen Ontario East Sonya Bergin, • cancer survivor Paige Dillabough for the moving story and for displaying her beads that represent her lengthy cancer journey, • Sunlife agents for providing a free barbecue lunch for participants, • Lise and Keith Hansma of The Ultimate Image for kindly donating new sign holders, • Scott’s Hardware for displaying the TFR banner, • TF Custom Signs for replacing the date on our banner, • Valley Source for Sports for their annual support,

competent government and allowed them to continue to spend money like drunken sailors. They should pay a heavy price for climbing into bed with this bunch of fools.

Completed demolition work at the Lochiel Street end of the dam.

Charlie Jamieson Renfrew Power Generation

News - The Thomas Low Generating Station project entails redeveloping the Renfrew Power Generation site at Bridge Street. This will result in rehabilitation of the existing canal and dam, and construction of a new power plant and water conveyance infrastructure. Construction started June 10, 2013. Construction is currently focused on repairs to the upper dam, canal repairs and construction of the new headworks. Did you know that the penstock will consist of parallel pipes running some 400 metres, from the new headworks to the new power plant. This will include about 800 metres of eight-foot diameter fibreglass piping that will be buried under the parking lot and routed through the vacant land along Mutual Avenue to the new plant. The existing Upper Dam Phase 1 rehabilitation is progressing well. The top photo shows the completed demolition work on the dam at Lochiel Street. The dam deck has been completely removed from two of the five spillways. In addition, all of the deteriorated concrete has been removed from the piers in preparation for forming and pouring new concrete. The right-most spillway in the photo will be the intake to the canal and will have the new grating and fish-and-eel protection systems installed. The construction along Lochiel Street involves significant excavation for construction of the new intake structure.

Helping those vic mized by crime and tragedy take those first steps forward. This is the completed foundation and forming in preparation for construction of the sides of the headworks. The bottom photo shows installation of sheet piles to support Lochiel Street with the supporting ground excavated. These sheet piles will remain in place after construction. The existing canal is being modified to connect new penstocks (pipes) to transport water to the new power plant. This new structure is called the headworks. The middle photo shows the completed foundation and forming in preparation for construction of the sides of the headworks. This structure will include gates to shut off water flow into the two penstocks that will carry water to the new power plant. Repairs to and reconstruction of the upper dam is scheduled for completion in early December 2013. Construction for the entire project is scheduled for completion in late 2014. • This is the fourth of regular updates on the Renfrew Power Generation’s Thomas Low Generating Station project by project director Charlie Jamieson.

It’s time to move on for many hawks Jim Ferguson

Scene from the Hawk’s Eye

Lifestyle - Hawks migrate only when their prey species is no longer available. A heavy snow fall or several nights of hard frost will give the prey species cover or force them into their underground lairs. This is when the hawks must move on. Several hawks including redtailed, rough-legged, and northern harrier were seen on the weekend in the townships of Horton, Admaston/ Bromley and Braeside/McNab. This past week was an “on the move” time for many hundreds of hawks, red-tailed, rough- legged, broad-winged and northern harrier. Although there are only four species there are male, female, adults and immature birds of each species all with different markings. The ‘red tail’ is of course the best field mark of the mature male and female red-tailed hawk. Immature birds have a banded tail with a narrow white tip and many white feathers on the back. All red tails have a prominent chest band which may be less pronounced in late fledging birds. Rough-legged hawks, male, female and immature birds, have a dark, almost black belly band. They all hover about 90 feet (30 m) above ground while hunting. This is a very good field mark especially when the birds are too far away to get a good look at the tail or belly band. Male and immature birds have a narrow white band at the tip of the

Let’s beat the FLU

tail followed by a wide black band on the white tail. I did not want to mention this but there are also dark phase roughlegged and red-tailed hawks. They are easily recognized by a dark brown or black body. The very prominent white rump patch is the best field mark of the male, female and immature northern harriers. A ll fly three or four yards (3-4 m) above the ground and tilt from side to side while hunting. The male is gray above with black wing tips, the female is tan below and brown above and immature birds look like the female. This is the best time of year to view migrating hawks. Broad-winged and red-shouldered hawks are also migrating at this time but they are uncommon and tend to remain near wooded areas while hunting. WHERE TO SEE THE HAWKS

There are many places to observe migrating hawks in this area. The flood plains of the Ottawa, Bonnechere, Madawaska, Mississippi and Snake Rivers are the best. The Barr Line in Bromley Township offers excellent hawk watching. Migrating hawks can be seen on the South McNaughton from Highway 132 to Douglas. The fields along sides of the Queen’s Line offer the birds an excellent hunting ground. As many as 30 hawks have been seen along Highway 60 from Renfrew to Douglas in one afternoon. Parts of the Thompson Road and Old Highway

17 in Horton Township offer good hawk watching. A field guide and binoculars are a must. A spotting scope will help with the distant birds. Good luck. HOUSE FINCH

The house finch has been the feature bird of several feeder studies. Not only to follow their recent range expansions but also to investigate the spread of a disease, an eye infection, caused by the bacteria Mycoplasma gallicepticum. When birds become afflicted with the disease they show swollen, puffy faces and runny, crusted eyes. The disease is commonly associated with poultry and does not pose any threat to humans; however, it can be fatal to house finches. Results from last year’s winter bird counts show a striking decrease in house finch numbers in the Atlantic Provinces where the disease is most widespread. There could be other causes for the decrease but in other areas the house finch populations have remained stable or have shown an increase. We should also keep in mind that if we have an irruption of common redpolls this winter an outbreak of salmonella is a possibility. As we prepare for our winter feeder programs it should be kept in mind that the diseases exist and to be on the look-out for them in our winter visitors.

The event will take place Nov. 9 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Recreation Centre, 67 Argyle St. S. at Patrick Avenue. This will be a great opportunity to get a jumpstart on your Christmas shopping, have an

energy-healing session or discover some unique ideas for gifts for your loved ones. We have more than 30 vendors with a wide variety of products and services to help you with your gift giving this year.

around the corner, many families are feeling the crunch and could really use our assistance. We are asking visitors to please bring a non-perishable donation for the Renfrew and Area Food Bank. We know they

Shampoo, toothpaste, pain reliever … and a flu shot. These are things Ontarians can get with a quick stop at their local pharmacy. For a second year, Ontario pharmacists will be offering free flu shots to those five years and older as part of the Ontario government’s Universal Influenza Immunization Program. Having pharmacists administer the flu shot makes it even more convenient for people to protect themselves and others around them from the flu. Last year, more than 600 pharmacies delivered free flu shots across the province. This year, Ontarians can expect trained pharmacists at close to 2,000 pharmacies to administer the vaccine. Ontario offers the flu vaccine free to anyone six months or older who lives, works or attends school in the province. In addition to pharmacies, the shot is available at doctors’ offices, public health units, participating workplace flu clinics, and other clinics. To make it easy for Ontarians to find flu clinic locations, Ontario has a Flu Shot Locator too at www. ontario.ca/flu.

This winter Peaks will bring skiers more snow in less time Calabogie Peaks

News - This winter Calabogie Peaks Resort will bring customers more snow in less time. The resort has completed its fourth consecutive annual snowmaking expansion which deploys state-of-the-art snowmaking technology. The multi-year investment is a game changer in Eastern Ontario and the National Capital Region. The 2013 expansion includes a total of 31 new tower and fan guns and over 2.5 miles of pipeline – it is the most significant snowmaking upgrade since the resort opened in 1969. “Calabogie has been experimenting with the SMI patented tower fan guns for the last three winters with great success,” said Calabogie Peaks president Paul Murphy. “The 2013 investment allows us to offer skiers and riders more terrain with more variety earlier in the season.” The resort plans to offer more skiing and rid-

ing on opening day than it has in the past. Calabogie used to move 900 gallons of water per minute through its snowmaking pipeline system. That figure, according to mountain manager Dustin Bedard, jumps to 2,000-plus gallons per minute this year. The capital investment raises the quality of skiing at Calabogie Peaks. “It will allow us to add terrain more quickly as the season progresses, and recover more efficiently when less-than-favourable weather events occur throughout the season,” said Murphy. “With cold weather, Calabogie plans to launch the season with nearly 25 acres and the ability to increase that number quickly as the start of the season progresses.” Strategic placement of new fan guns will allow Calabogie to open with several top-tobottom routes along the most desirable trails, including Finegan, Barrett Chute, Whistlin Paddy, High Falls, O’Brien’s, Shantyman and Old K&P.

Renfrew’s Shannon St. Michael making her mark setting records on powerlifting circuit Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - It’s been an eventful 2013 for Renfrew’s Shannon St. Michael. The powerlifter has not only finished in the winner’s circle in both national and world events, the 28-yearold has been setting records in her squat, bench press and deadlift events in her weight class. At the 2013 CPF (Canadian Powerlifting Federation) nationals in Waterloo, June 9, St. Michael set a national high-water mark in one of her three events, and broke the world record in the other two, as well as for her final total. Her squat of 302.5 pounds set marks both nationally and in the world, as did her deadlift of 347 pounds, and her total of 836 pounds. St. Michael bench pressed 187 pounds to set a Canadian record. That also gave her first place in the 75-kilogram class, and earned her the award for best female lifter. “I enjoyed this competition because many of the competitors were from my gym, and there was a lot of support,” St. Michael said. She currently trains at the Almonte Fitness Centre. “A girl in Russia beat my world record deadlift and total just before worlds. So I currently have the squat world record,” she added. At the 2013 AWPC World Championships at Idaho Falls, Idaho on

PETER CLARK/METROLAND

New York here we come Shannon St. Michael with her winning medals from both Waterloo and Idaho. At right, in action at the world championship in Idaho. Aug. 29, St. Michael bettered her own world record with a squat of 308 pounds, and again topped all competitors in her weight class. Her bench press of 192.5 pounds, deadlift of 358 pounds and 858pound total remain Canadian records for her 75-kg weight class. “At this meet I was able to total ‘elite’ for my weight class, based on lifter classifications for raw powerlifting,” St. Michael explained. “Elite means that you have reached the top

one per cent of lifters. “I usually cut water weight for a competition, so the few days beforehand are not all that much fun,” St. Michael added. “The competition is always high energy and the people are always very supportive. Most times, you have women who you are competing against in the same weight class that are cheering for you. The training is very time consuming and everyone knows how much work goes into it.

So there is a huge mutual respect for each other.” St. Michael’s next competition will be in 2014. “I think I’m going to do a CPF meet in April in Cornwall, and then nationals for CPF is in Nova Scotia in June,” she said. “I might try to find one (competition) before April just to have something to look forward to. Many of St. Michael’s lifts can be viewed on YouTube.

Bonnie McIntyre, left, and Charlene Nolan will be running in the 2013 ING New York City Marathon. McIntyre will also be the Canadian flag bearer at the opening ceremony at 5:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 1 in Central Park. “I was surprised, and excited,” she said of the opportunity. The race is on Sunday, Nov. 3. “I just want to beat Pamela Anderson,” Nolan quipped, before adding, “I just want to finish.” Nolan’s father, Hughie Nolan, will also be putting on the running shoes for the New York event. The second annual Bonnie’s Marathon for the Renfrew and District Food Bank throughout the Renfrew area is set for Sunday, Nov. 10.

Lapierre leads Timberwolves past Arnprior Packers in overtime WOLVES 6, ARNPRIOR 5 (OT)

peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - Get the puck to the guy with the hot hand. That’s what the Renfrew Timberwolves did, and they outlasted the visiting Arnprior Packers in overtime because of it. Luke Lapierre’s fourth goal of the night allowed the Wolves to pull out a 6-5 Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League thriller Friday night in the teams’ first meeting of 2013-14 at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

While just about every else couldn’t fire a pea past Erik Miksik, Lapierre owned him. The Wolves would-be sniper solved the Arnprior netminder in all four periods, including a shorthanded marker off his own breakaway rebound in the opening stanza. Defenceman Alex Campbell sprang Lapierre free on the game winner at the three-minute mark of 4-on-4 overtime. Scott Conroy and Colin Bradbury

notched other goals for the Wolves, who really should have won this game in regulation time, if not for Miksik. Miksik denied both Cole Allard and Bradbury on breakaways with the Wolves shorthanded midway through the third period. That allowed the Packers to erase a 5-3 deficit, eventually to draw even when Damian Armstrong solved Renfrew goalkeeper Brayden St.Germain with 19 seconds remaining. The Wolves held a 45-33 cushion in shots, and never trailed in the

game. A second-period scrap resulted in early exits for Kurtis Leclaire and Arnprior’s Alex Loslo. OTTAWA WEST 2, WOLVES 1

Some tough losses come a team’s way throughout the course of the season, and the Wolves absorbed one of those defeats at the Barbara Ann Scott Arena last Thursday night. The Wolves surrendered a shorthanded goal off the stick of Ottawa West’s Zach Cross with just 2:40 remaining in the third period.

The goal broke a long-standing 1-1 deadlock and gave the Golden Knights a 2-1 triumph. Luke Lapierre scored for the Wolves in the first period, matched by Ottawa West’s Eric Wintjes early in the second. Wolves netminder Brayden St.Germain made 29 saves while Golden Knights counterpart JJ Pristanski blocked 31 Renfrew shots. The Valley Division champion Wolves host the defending EOJHL champion Ottawa Junior Canadians Sunday at the MAC. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

Sports - A year ago the ‘9 Run Run’ event staged in Stittsville was an emotional roller-coaster for Janet Springer of Haley Station, largely because it coincided with the first anniversary of her son Mark’s suicide death. 9 Run Run, which is staged by Ottawa emergency services, pays tribute to youth dealing with mental-health issues, so Janet participated along with several other members of the Move It For Mark team. In acknowledging the importance of support for youth mental health programs, Move it for Mark recognizes the loss of Janet’s son, an Opeongo High School student who took his life at the age of 17 in October 2011. A year ago, Janet says her running effort at 9 Run Run wasn’t much to write home about, as she finished the half-marathon in more than 2 hours 40 minutes. But the Oct. 19, 2013 Stittsville run was another matter, as she and running partner Debbie MacDonald of Renfrew went the distance in 2:15. “It’s a team of people that are supporting me and what mental health stands for,” says Janet of the members who come from Ottawa, Cobden, Pembroke and other Renfrew County communities. “They want to help the community deal with a significant issue, which is suicide. And everyone is touched by it.” Those people include MacDonald, who knew Janet’s son as a fellow cottager at Jeffrey’s Lake, near Haley Station. “Mark was a friend of mine who interacted really well with adults,” says MacDonald. “He was like an old soul in a young person’s body. “

She and Janet were also friends and running partners, so it was natural for MacDonald to become part of the Move It For Mark group. “When we reached the finish line (Oct. 19), it was celebratory but also sad,” says MacDonald, recognizing that suicide has become a more common Ottawa Valley issue, so that mental-health issues among youth receive support Move It For Mark team members also gathered at the home of Janet and Ken Springer, and daughter Amanda, for a Thanksgiving Sunday barbecue. Move It For Mark was the 9 Run Run’s top fundraising team this year, raising $10,646 for the Do It For Daron Foundation. Janet Springer was this year’s 9 Run Run top individual fundraiser, for the second straight year, by raising $7,479 for the Do It For Daron Foundation. Major donations making that possible were the Tensor Brand $2,000 donation from a Facebook contest Janet won and the $500 contribution from the Renfrew Rotary Club. The DIFD Foundation was formed after the Nov. 13, 2010 suicide death of Luke and Stephanie Richardson’s daughter, Daron. Daron’s Ottawa parents used her death to transform their private pain into a public call for action. DIFD encourages young people to talk openly about mental illness and to ask for help when needed. As its website says, DIFD provides young people, parents, teachers, coaches and other adult role models with resources, outlets and, most importantly, courage to overcome the shame and fear of discussing mental illness. The purple heart of DIFD, inspired by Daron’s favourite colour, is a visual reminder that love and awareness can combat youth mental illness.

Renfrew Golf Club recognized as Pettigrew off to OFSAA cross-country an east region golf course leader Peter Clark

peter.clark@metroland.com

Christine Jarrett Renfrew Golf Club

Sports - In its fall issue, Flagstick Magazine – the leading golf publication in eastern Ontario and publisher of Ontario Golf News – recognized Renfrew Golf Club (RGC) as the Best Public Course ($45 green fee and under). Thousands of readers took part in the annual survey.

This is the second year in a row the RGC has received this award. It is a great honour for the club and is a testament to the quality of the course and dedication of its employees and members. The Renfrew Golf Club was also voted the Favourite Par 5 (No. 18) and was third in the Favourite Par 3 (No. 17) category.

Renfrew also came fourth in the Best Conditioned Golf Course category. Clubs as far away as Kingston, Brockville, and Gatineau are part of the readership and therefore, are courses competing in these categories. The Renfrew Golf Club is very proud of these accolades and will continue to strive to provide the best golfing choice anywhere in Eastern Ontario!

Renfrew ladies cap 2013 golf season From the Ladies Tee

Sports - About 50 ladies joined together for a wonderful meal and great fellowship on Sunday, Oct. 5 at the Renfrew Golf Club for their 2013 season-ending banquet sponsored by Aikenhead’s Drug Store. Pork tenderloin, a squash vegetable medley and potatoes were served. For dessert, Chef Casey Stewart made apple crisp that everyone thoroughly enjoyed. Award winners were:

• Julia Lemenchick Trophy (best four of six net scores in qualifying tournaments: Barb Westgarth. Runner-up: Mary Peer. • Match Play Champion: Marion Knox. Runner-up: Kim Vandewouw. • Sharpe Ringer Trophy: Bev Mau. A winner: Kim McDonald; B winner: A.J. White; C winner: Lesley Murray. • Most Birdies: Barb Westgarth. • Most Chip Ins: (three-way tie): Barb Westgarth, Mary Peer, Vi Rossy • Greatest Handicap Reduc-

tion: Marion Knox. The ladies at Renfrew Golf Club thanked Susan Ringrose for her two years of dedication as ladies golf captain. Thanks were also extended to outgoing co-captain Christine O’Hara and committee member A.J. White. Moments of silence were also observed for remembrance of past and present members who have recently passed away. And finally, a warm thankyou to all ladies day and fun night sponsors:

from three-point land. The Senior Raiders bounced back from losses to the St. Joseph’s Jaguars and L’Equinoxe Patriotes to run down the Madawaska Valley District Wolves 3-1 in the senior boys volleyball loop in Barry’s Bay. The win allows the Raiders to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Almonte Thunderbolts blanked the Junior Raiders 39-0 in Lanark-Renfrew High School Football League action Friday in Almonte. The Senior Raiders took on the Mackenzie Mustangs in Deep River Oct. 29. If RCI won, the league championship is theirs. There are no playoffs in the Renfrew County loop this year. The Senior Raiders will meet the Lanark champion at Ma-Te-Way Park Nov. 8.

Low Cup competition underway

Sports -Renfrew hosted the first leg of the Low Cup and met defending champion Pembroke on a day that often sets the tone for the whole year. The morning games were a mirror image of each other as the team of Rob Warren, Don Rouble, Jim Berg and Bernie Leclaire

made their shots to ride to a comfortable win. The Barry Griese team, of Gary Smith, Dave Eady and George Burton struggled early, and never got going. The afternoon games were a world of difference for the Griese foursome as Barry made his shots and the team played well. See LOW CUP, page 16

Sports - Renfrew Collegiate Raiders senior boys crosscountry runner John Pettigrew will be heading to the Ontario high school (OFSAA) championship in Sudbury this Saturday. Pettigrew ran to a fifthplace finish at EOSSAA in Brockville last Friday in a time of 23:24.65 over seven kilometres. As a team, the RCI senior boys finished third of 47 teams, buoyed by the top-30 performances of Sam Agnew (17th), Alan Zangerl (21), Connor Bennett (23rd) and McKinley Ripley (28th). SaraLyn Deslaurier covered the senior girls five-kilometre course in 20:19.24 to place 20th. A number of Raiders also

turned in personal bests on the day. The Raiders had little trouble shutting down a quartet of Pembroke teams in girls basketball action Oct. 21.

Jaguar seniors run record to 8-and-0

Peter Clark

Sports - The St. Joseph’s Jaguars remain unbeaten in Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association senior boys volleyball. The Jaguars ran their record to 8-and0 with sweeps of local rival Renfrew Collegiate Raiders (25-18, 25-8, 25-22), L’Equinoxe Patriotes and Fellowes Falcons. The Junior Jaguars downed Fellowes 3-1 Thursday at the Jag Den. Girls hoops teams continued to roll. The Senior Jaguars downed the Madawaska Valley District Wolves 41-16, and defeated Fellowes 3627. Sonya Bergin had a combined 37 points in the two games. Jocelyn Virgin chipped in with eight versus Barry’s Bay. The Junior Jaguars topped the same two

schools 40-19 and 3815. Hannah Robertson and Melissa Thompson led St. Joseph’s scoring. Jaguars’ coaches said solid defence contributed highly to their teams’ victories. The Jaguars crosscountry team competed at the Eastern Ontario high school (EOSSAA) Championships Thursday in Brockville. With an already challenging course ahead of them, weather also proved to be a test, coach Kip Mulvihill said. Brief bouts of rain and snow made race preparation that much more difficult, the coach added. Junior girl Janessa Linton posted a 17thplace finish in a field of 111. Her time was 17:54.72. Junior boy J.P Cassanto and senior Brandon Mosseau also turned in solid efforts, coach Mulvihill said.

Terry Fox Run at QEPS Terry Fox covered 6,006 kilometres in his 1908 Marathon of Hope before cancer forced him to stop. At Queen Elizabeth PS Oct. 10, bags of jellybeans totalling 6,006 were given out to each class. A class representative would drop one jellybean into a jar every time a student from that class lapped the course. Patience Megrath of Nicole Moran and Pamela Robillard’s kindergarten class drops a jellybean in the jar for classmate Ryan Campbell. The school raised $800 while jars were filled with about 650 jellybeans for kilometres run or walked.

Low Cup competition underway From page 15

The other pairing, featuring the morning winners, had the Warren rink chasing all game after a key double by Pembroke skip Emile Robert put his team ahead by three. The Renfrew four kept fighting and with his last shot Warren had a chance to finally go ahead but the takeout weight was down and the rock over curled allowing Pembroke to escape with the win. The split on the day allowed Arnprior to take the Cup lead after day one. The Barb Westgarth team of Shelley Jamieson, Stephanie Langlois and Barb Roy competed in the Oct. 18-20 playdowns leading to the Dominion Cup and lost their two games, both on last rock. In the first game, down 7-0, the Renfrew lasses fought back and a last-rock take-out could have salvaged the win. However, it was not Renfrew’s week

for dramatic comebacks as her shot rolled too far. The second game was against a young team out of the Cataraqui club (and former teammates of one-time Renfrew junior Lindsay Jamieson). This game was much closer with points keeping to ones and twos back and forth. Cataraqui was up two coming home with last rock as Renfrew had a hard time getting the ends set up to steal back points in the latter part of the game. Without hammer, Westgarth’s rink was sitting two in the house, as the last rock was thrown and executed perfectly for a Renfrew loss by one point. Remember that Rookies Rock continues this Sunday at 1 p.m. and it is not too late for new curlers to join. Members looking to improve their game or to help the Rookies out by curling with them are invited to come out too.

Museum, Scapa tour part of SIHR meeting Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Sports – Renfrew’s deep hockey roots and the recent opening of the NHA/NHL museum made it the perfect venue for a recent meeting of hockey minds. The Society for International Hockey Research (SIHR) hosted its fall meeting in Renfrew and the conference included a trip to the NHA/NHL museum, Scapa hockey tape factory and an outdoor ball hockey game on Renfrew Avenue. SIHR president Jean Patrice Martel said the group enjoyed visiting Renfrew and learning more about the town’s deep hockey roots. “It’s been quite impressive,” he said. “The history – being one of the founding towns of the NHA – made it a great place for us to meet.”

SIHR’s Ed Grenda drops the puck for Renfrew Millionaire Bert Miller, left, and Monty Seli, of the SIHR, to start off the Sunday morning Fitsell Cup ball hockey game. At right, Sandi Heins, Birthplace of the NHA/NHL museum committee member, joins Society for International Hockey Research founder Bill Fitsell. The 90-year-old Fitsell displays a recent birthday greeting from the Toronto Maple Leafs organization. SHERRY HAAIMA/METROLAND

Among the guest speakers was D’Arcy Jenish, author of The NHL in the ‘70s: The Economics of a Disastrous Decade and Richard Bendell, who wrote The 1972 Summit Series: The Series We Thought We Knew. Jenish, whose book is being released this week, said he enjoyed the trip. “The ghosts of hockey past walk the streets here,” he said. “Pro hockey was born in places like this.” The weekend meeting wrapped up with the Fitsell Cup ball hockey game Sunday morning on a cordoned off portion of Renfrew Avenue. The Renfrew Millionaires took on the SIHR members in a spirited match-up on the chilly morning. The friendly game is named for SIHR founder

Bill Fitsell, who recently celebrated his 90th birth-

1938: Governor General Lord Tweedsmuir visits Renfrew

Olga Lewis

finishing touch to the clock tower.

From the Old Files

NOVEMBER 4, 1938 OCTOBER 31, 1913

Column - JUVENILE WORKERS GIVE ENTERTAINMENT; The Juvenile Worker’s of St. Paul’s church gave a delightful little entertainment in the basement of the church last Saturday. There was a short program of music and recitations. Misses Muriel Sibary, Christine McCormack, Evelyn Wade and Helen Toffield taking part, after which tea and cake were served by the young girls. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the hour. ONE THING YET TO BE, AND IT’S GOING TO BE DONE: As observant folks come east along Elizabeth street and glance upwards at the Post Office, tower and notice one defect. The space in the stone tower for a clock was boarded up with plain boards, and there they remain, unpainted, and not very beautiful. The Royal Arms or the Town’s Crest should go there said someone to The Mercury. So The Mercury questioned some of those supposed to be in the confidence of the government and found that this matter had been discussed, and was being taken up with the proper authorities and that the likelihood is that before long a shield bearing the Royal Arms will put the

PREVIOUS VISIT OF GOVERNOR GENERAL: The coming to Renfrew this week of Canada’s Governor General, Lord Tweedsmuir, is a reminder to many of the visit paid the town in Great War Days by the Duke of Devonshire. It was on a stormy day in the winter season, and heading the local reception committee was the late Mayor Moss. The Duke addressed a mass meeting in the Opera House, in the course of which he asked that a school holiday be granted on the morrow, a step which found much acceptance with the younger section of the audience. The Duke travelled by rail. RENFREW CHORISTERS SPENT AN EVENING IN DOUGLAS: Renfrew Presbyterian Choir visited Douglas on Friday evening last and in the Orange Hall put on a musical and literacy entertainment, with patronage good. In addition to chorus work there were vocal solos by Miss Gwen Williams and Miss Frances Kirkham. Mrs. R.F. Fraser, violinist, contributed to two numbers and there were two readings by Rev. Mr. Fowler. Mr. Bruce Brandow played accompaniments. Rev. Mr. Extence introduced Rev. Mr. Fowler

as chairman. The audience was appreciative and there were recalls. The music ranged from classical to sentimental, all of it quite appropriate. Proceeds will be used for church purposes in Douglas. Visitors were later entertained at the home of Mrs. Atkinson. NOVEMBER 1, 1978

PEAKS GET EODC LOAN: An EODC loan for $95,000 to Calabogie Peaks will allow the tourist resort to increase its workforce. The Business Incentive and Tourist Loan from the Eastern Ontario Development Corporation will allow the resort to increase its year round staff from eight to 14 employees and will raise the winter employment level from 41 to 50 over the next five years. The loan was one of two announced by Doug Wiseman MPP for Lanark County. The Mount Pakenham resort also received a large development loan. CANDIDATE WANTS ASSOCIATION IN RENFREW: Councillor Jerome Siroski would like to see a consumer ratepayer association set up in the town. In a press release to The Mercury, Mr. Siroski said that he felt such a group could act as an advisory group to the council and give an added liaison between council and the community at large.

Such issues as the proposed shopping centre and its effects , the recreational costs in such projects as acquiring the K and P right of way and the day to day operation of the municipal administration, including water rates and property taxes could be discussed by the group. Councillor Siroski said he also supports the committee system of administration. (Earlier in this term of council, a liaison person system was adopted to replace the committee system). A full time mayor is also recommended by Mr. Siroski and he said that these two changes would go far in creating an efficient management for the town. He also says renewal of activity in the area industrial development is needed to improve the employment situation and to increase the tax base to lower individual taxation. HALLOWEEN: First and foremost I must apologize to all those who called at the Mercury-Advance on Tuesday morning and were told that Halloween was on Sunday. We were issued this statement from the Town Administrators office, Tuesday morning, but later it was suggested that Halloween be held Saturday night, although nothing could be done if the children wished to go out on Sunday. From the phone calls we received, and they were plentiful, the general opinion was that Halloween

Men and women of the former Township of Bromley fought in the wars of the past century. Many returned; but others gave up their lives so we, the next generations, could live in a free society. The Bromley Historical Society invites members and the public to join them on Sunday, Nov. 3 at 2 p.m. in the old town hall, 498 Micksburg Road, Osceola, to share stories so we will continue to remember the valour of those who have gone before. The afternoon event will be a time for sharing photos, memories and

mementoes passed down through Bromley families. This exchange keeps alive the vividness of the contributions and sacrifice these people made on our behalf. It reminds us of what they forfeited to ensure Canada remained strong and democratic. We honour them, our loved ones who laid down their ploughs and their lives, who left their families, to answer the call to duty and serve abroad. The Bromley Historical Society is compiling an album of photos and stories of these valiant Township citizens. Refreshments will be available at the event.

ART

Connected to your community

D8;8N8JB8 N8K<I=IFEK ?FD<

Focus on art at the Renfrew Art Guild As the stiff winds start to blow and the leaves are gone we go into a total mind shift. Our lives become more structured. We are into a swing of involvement whether it is in the community or just within our own families. Sometimes with the constant movement, we just lose focus. Focus according to the dictionary is; to concentrate, or, in focus; adjusted so as to secure distinct vision. It is something we all try to do but have trouble accomplishing.

We are inviting you to come along to our next meeting, get focused with Dan. He will guide us through the process that might make that next project easier to tackle. The RAG meeting is Tuesday, Nov. 5 at 7 p.m. at Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church, 291 Plaunt St., Renfrew. Please use the Quarry Street entrance.

At our next meeting we are going to help you with your problem of focusing. Dan Graham, an artist from the Rankin area, is going to help us get to that point. Dan displays his work at the Cobden Market and shows his work throughout the Valley. His focus is in the wonderful scenes in and around the Valley by using detail and wonderful colours. Dan’s other love is Tai Chi. The owner of Rising Moon Tai Chi Chuan School for the past 12 years he has won over many residents from the area at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

PICASSO

Our study artist for this month is Picasso. We ask members to bring their interpretation of the chosen artist.

It should be interesting to see what everyone comes up with. Picasso is deďŹ nitely interesting. He began his career as a print maker but then entered the world of the wild and wonderful. His quote: “It took me my whole life to learn how to paint like a child’. Whether you are an amateur, coming back to art, or a professional, you are welcome to join us. Check out our website www. renfrewartguild.com For further information on the art guild, call Diana 613433-3635.

The Renfrew Collegiate Institute Outers Club enjoys a canoe trip in Algonquin Park.

NEW PRICE

RCI Outers Club canoes at Barron Canyon Kaitlyn Beimers Raider Journal

On Sept. 29 and 30, members of Renfrew Collegiate Institute’s Outers Club took to the water in their annual canoeing trip to the Barron Canyon, in the east section of Algonquin Park. After driving to Squirrel Rapids on Sunday, the group, equipped with canoes, backpacks and camping gear, paddled over seven kilometres to reach their campsite.

Many of the students were Grade 9 students who experienced portaging their canoe over their heads for the first time. During the two day outing, students paddled through the canyon and hiked to Brigham Chute, a picturesque waterfall. “It was a great trip!” said staff supervisor Ed Oegema. “We got to see some beautiful landscapes.” Student Dawson Cuff also reeled in a 2 pound Smallmouth Bass, while other students enjoyed the

warm sunny weather. Students also enjoyed sleeping in tents under the stars, cooking their meals by campfire and conversations around the campfire before retiring for the night. The members of the Outers Club that participated in the trip were Angelica Romain, Nick Sexton, Dawson Cuff, Keara Richards, Emily Livingstone, Verdon Hemsley, Abby Delarge, Taylor Virgin, Nicole Nagy, Kelsey Kargus, Jessica Cox, Kaitlyn McCorriston,

and Drew Edwards; with supervisors: Mrs. Daber, Mr. Donohue, Mr. Oegema and Mr. Kasprzak. The Outers Club has planned the following trips in the future; a oneday hiking trip around the Renfrew area, a winter excursion to a lodge, possible dog-sledding, a three-day spring canoe trip to Algonquin Park and possible white water rafting. If you are interested, you are more than welcome to become a member of the Outers Club.

Jaguar Journal

Community -It has been over two months since the beginning of the school year, and it feels like they have flown by! Being constantly busy and always having something to look forward to at SJHS certainly passes the time until summer returns. Last week, the Dominican Republic Experience team spent a night at the Grey Sisters’ retreat in Petawawa. Here, they met the Bishop Smith High School students who will be joining them on the mission trip in Feb. 2014. The DRE team has been successfully fundraising through bake sales throughout the past few months.

All of the proceeds will be used for the purchase of Friendship Kits (food and vital supplies for families in need) and Physician Travel Packs (medical kits). This month is quite busy as well. Operation Christmas Child is underway at SJHS, a Christmas fundraiser spearheaded by the Pastoral Team. Until the end of Nov. they will be assembling shoeboxes to send to children all over the world who will not receive anything for Christmas. To help out local children in need, SJHS is once again collecting new or gently used children’s snowsuits, sweaters, boots and winter accessories. This warm clothing will be distributed by the Children’s Poverty Action Net-

work to keep children warm throughout the winter. Community members can drop off any older snowsuits at SJHS! Please note that the Jazz Band and performing arts programs are continuing their annual Florida Fresh Grapefruits and Oranges fundraiser. Seedless naval oranges and grapefruits from Indian River, Florida, are available for purchase through the school. A small box of either costs $25 and a large box costs $40. To purchase your box, contact the school at 613432-5846. The orders are expected to arrive in the first week of December. These delicious fruits have had fantastic reviews in past years, so make sure to place your orders!

two years to complete. “These are exciting times for our hospital and patients throughout the County of Renfrew who will benefit from this very significant investment, in excess of $12 million,� said Penney.

Notice is hereby given that Hydro One Networks Inc. – Forestry Services will be commencing Forestry line clearing operations in your vicinity. The work will include the selective treatment of undesirable vegetation that would, if left alone, grow into the conductors. Every effort will be made to leave compatible low growing vegetation, which will assist in reducing future maintenance requirements.

Renfrew Victoria Hospital Auxiliary

Community - The Renfrew Victoria Hospital Auxiliary is fully engaged in organizing its 2013 Christmas House Tour. Seven generous home-owners have graciously offered to open their homes for this fundraiser. You’ll find each home is uniquely beautiful, a joy to view and offers ideas and inspiration to draw on. Following is some information about two more of the seven fabulous homes you’re invited to explore. Do you remember the old Town Hall on Johnston Road in Horton Township? If you ever attended dances, wedding receptions or Town Hall meetings there, then you will not want to miss seeing how it has evolved into a truly unique, comfortable, cozy home with many of its original features still in place. On Jamieson Lane sits a beautiful three bedroom home, custom built by professional home builder John Pallen. From the wood and ceramic floor to the 10-foot ceilings you can’t help but notice the attention to detail. At the heart of the home is the “to-die-for� kitchen and stone fireplace which is where family and friends come together to enjoy each others’ company. Mark your calendar for Sunday, Dec. 1. Tickets are $25 which includes the self-guided tour of the homes and an invitation to stop by the Renfrew Victoria Hospital for a Dessert Tea in the cafeteria, 20 per cent off sale in the Auxiliary’s Gift Shop and to view the Renfrew Art Guild exhibit. Tickets are available in Renfrew at The Flower Factory, Signature Styles by Tia, Aikenhead’s Pharmacy, Colleen’s Closet and the RVH Auxiliary Gift Shop. Other locations are Audrey’s In Town Fashions in Arnprior; Bittersweet Gallery in Burnstown; and Candlewick Gift Shop in Cobden.

Working together for a safer hospital visit locations—exam rooms, patient rooms and on the screens.” Patient gowns now read “Please Wash Your Hands” as a gentle reminder to our caregivers, adds Ferguson. “We continue to audit hand hygiene on a regular basis to ensure this is taking place.” Numerous hand sanitizing stations are conveniently placed at our entrances and along the walls so visitors can also play their part in preventing the spread of infections and germs. She also reports that the emergency department has seen an increase in the number of patients bringing their list of medications with them to the hospital. Medication reconciliation is a vital step in patient safety, as physicians need to know what is in a patient’s system before prescribing treatment. MyMedRec booklets are available

Since implementing the “8 Steps to a Safer Hospital Visit” strategies in 2010, RVH’s health care professionals and support staff have observed improvements across all areas of the hospital, particularly with hand hygiene practices. The 8 Steps posters outline the patient’s role in patient safety. Those messages are prominent throughout the hospital and now appear on the digital screens that are located throughout the main areas of the building. “The people who have participated in our patient safety focus groups have expressed to us that they are seeing the posters, reading the posters and are asking questions relating to their health care,” notes Christene Ferguson, RVH’s Vice President of Patient Care Services. “They really like that the posters are in all key

8 steps to a safer hospital visit: 1. Speak Up… ask questions about your care 2. Tell us about your health history 3. Know your medications and allergies 4. Wash your hands and remind others 5. Ask for help with activity 6. Ensure we check your identification 7. Ask questions about your medications at discharge and know what to do after discharge 8. Take your hospital information to your family doctor after discharge

in our emergency department to record medications and other important health-related information. It is recommended that you carry this information with you at all times. “We continue to encourage our patients to ask questions and to engage them in their care with some recent changes made on the active care unit related to information boards,” Ferguson says. Patients and their families are encouraged to be informed, engaged and follow the steps outlined below to be on the path to streamlined care, and a quick and safe recovery.

Patient Jean Devries models a new RVH gown with the hand washing reminder.

4HANK 9OU On behalf of Doris Murray’s entire family, we wish to express our sincere gratitude for all the acts of kindness on Mom’s behalf. To the neighbours, friends, and family for the delicious food, cards, flowers and contributions in Mom’s memory to “Partners in Caring”, we are so grateful. From a lady who was so easy to please, she would be so humbled with all of these acts of kindness. We would like to thank Mom’s nurses, Linda, Stacey and Sam for giving her the comfort and dignity to remain at home with family until her passing. Thank you so much! Andre and staff, we cannot express the ease that you bestowed upon us in the wee morning hours when you came to take mom away with all her family there. It was a transition that was made easier due to your professionalism and care. Thank you. The graveside service was very touching and very fitting. Mom was an angel, so kind, caring and compassionate and truly an example to live by! Thank you to everyone, you are all cut from the same cloth – Compassionate!

His son, Christopher and wife Chantal and daughter Sara were the pride and joy of his life, only topped by his love for his grandchildren Brandon and Marie Soleil (Chris and Chantal), and his special buddy, grandson Kaleb (Sara).

Glen Coules presents $185 to Ray Beimers, president of the Canadian Cancer Society’s Renfrew chapter. The money comes from the summer-long cruise nights at Odi’s Kingburger. Other participants, in the foreground, from left, are Margaret Coules, Maynard Sell, Herb Sell and Leo Harris.

Cruising for Canadian Cancer Society Community - The Canadian Cancer Society has received more support from local car enthusiasts. Participants at Odi’s Cruise Night Sept. 26 donated $185 — money raised from the weekly cruise nights held at Odi’s Kingburger from June through September. Ray Beimers, volunteer president of the Renfrew chapter of the Canadian Cancer Society, received a donation of $185 that evening at Odi’s Kingburger. Main organizer Glen Coules was pleased with the response to Renfrew eatery’s cruise nights over the summer. He attributed the inaugural project’s success in part to the commitment of his mother, Margaret, and the perfect

attendance and support of Leo Harris. Harris was instrumental in obtaining door prizes from such sponsors as Renfrew Valley NAPA and Atkinson’s Sports Bar in Shawville. “Thank you to everyone who attended the cruise nights and especially to Odi’s for allowing us to host it here,” said Coules. “We’ll definitely be back next June.” Earlier in September, the ninth annual Summer’s End Car Show and Swap Meet for Dad, whose chief organizer was Beimers, raised over $3,200 for the Canadian Cancer Society’s prostate cancer programs. A total of 223 registered for the popular show at the Renfrew fairgrounds.

Cleaner-uppers after the pumpkin drop include Ryan Hoelke and his dad, Terry. came from the seeds of a Rhode Island grower that cost him nothing but email correspondence and $10. Perhaps it’s little wonder Hoelke’s enjoying the pumpkin-growing process. As a kid, he and brother Tyler sold pumpkins as jack-o-lanterns for a buck. Years later, other residents in the area like how an overgrown vegetable can provide various benefits to the community. “It’s great. It’s a community event,â€? said Golden Lake cottager Ken McRae. “The fact someone can grow something as big as that is exciting,â€? said John Lappalainen of Foymount after picking up several pieces of the broken pumpkin to feed to his goats. Eganville Farmers Market managers Judy and Cam SauvĂŠ, who co-ordinated the ticket sales, said they’re looking forward to one of Hoelke’s pumpkins fronting a similar fundraiser next year.

A giant pumpkin is more than a conversation piece. It can also be a neat little fundraiser. Eganville businessman Ryan Hoelke says his pumpkin-growing success this year has been a nice diversion from work, in addition to raising money for two local causes. This year the 31-year-old Hoelke has won pumpkin weight contests at Hugli’s Blueberry Ranch Giant Atlantic Pumpkin Weigh-off in Pembroke with a 1,352-pound pumpkin and then with his heavier pumpkin at the Prince Edward County Pumpkinfest in Wellington, Ont. Hoelke used his largest pumpkin, of 1,463.5 pounds, as a fundraiser for local causes – the Eganville and District Food Bank and the Eganville Farmers Market. A total of 350 tickets, at $2 apiece, were sold in a raffle draw that produced grocery gift certificate winners for Eganville Foodland. The $700 raised will be split between the food bank and farmers market. The two weeks of sales wrapped up at the grocery store, where Hoelke’s pumpkin was dropped 40 feet at noon last Saturday from the crane provided free of charge by Ray McGrath Construction. A healthy crowd was on hand, despite the chilly weather. After the drop, several spectators helped with the cleanup or collected large broke pieces of pumpkin or seeds for themselves. “I think the response was pretty good,� said Hoelke. “I would have expected 40 people, and there was closer to 200.� The amazing thing about the pumpkin-growing industry is its lack of secrecy and the willingness to share success. Hoelke says his biggest pumpkins this year
