Chinese learn about Valley’s world-class technology Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

An auction earlier this year on Ottawa Heritage Radio sent local fiddlers to Kinburn.

– Page 19 –

It’s time for a time change.

Remember to turn your clocks back one hour before you go to bed Saturday night.

Bishop Aquatic Technologies does business all over the world, but last week a delegation of more than 20 Oceans and Fisheries Department officials from the Chinese province of Hainan visited for a closer look at some of the Eganville companyʼs fishing and waste-water technologies.

“Theyʼre looking for technology solutions,” said Don Bishop, co-owner of Bishop Aquatic Technologies. “They have a growing fish-farming sector. What theyʼre looking to do is to improve, instead of making the mistakes that others have made.

“So they discovered us, in the heart of the Ottawa Valley … and they came here to get that technology together and to find out more about what weʼre doing in the way we challenge and fix environmental (issues).”

The primary focus was potential fish-farming containment solutions, which are centred around Bishop Water Technologiesʼ own Aquagrid netting. This netting has created huge savings for companies in such countries as Norway, Chile, Canada, Japan, Denmark, Australia, Germany, Israel and Indonesia.

The Chinese delegation that visited Oct. 25 was also particularly interested in the Eganvillebased companyʼs geotube dewatering, wastemanagement technology as well as how it has collected and treated fish waste from fish cages for dry fertilizer.

The geotube technology is part of wastewater treatment sites in Eganville, London and Brockville, several Quebec communities, Yarmouth, and Newfoundland.

Prior to arriving in the Ottawa Valley, the Chinese delegation visited Toronto, Guelph and Charlottetown. Before heading home, the group will also have visited Montreal, Quebec City and Vancouver.

“Their industry (in China) is absolutely huge and itʼs the most underdeveloped area of the industry weʼve seen anywhere in the world,” said Bishop.

Western hay delivered to area farmers Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

The impact from the drought of the summer of 2012 continues.

After a decent first cut of hay, the drought came and stayed while threatening the livelihood of many farmers in eastern Ontario and western Quebec.

About a decade ago, eastern Canadian farmers came to the rescue of western Canadian farmers. This time the roles are reversed, as hay is being shipped east through a joint program co-ordinated by the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and the Mennonite Disaster

MDS, which is headquartered out of Manitoba, is helping to finance the first few truckloads from western Canada, while efforts are underway to negotiate assistance from the federal and provincial governments for additional hay transportation by rail.

“The hay is too expensive here, and the farmers are already selling off their herds because of the drought,” said Chris Judd, a Shawville dairy farmer and president for the English-speaking farmers of Union des producteurs agricoles (or Quebec Farmers Association).

Follow your dreams, says five-time Paralympian Todd Nicholson knows all about following dreams.

Ever since he was young, he dreamed of playing hockey, and thatʼs exactly what he did, despite being in a wheelchair.

The five-time Winter Paralympian was keynote speaker at the 2012 Womenʼs Health Festival in Renfrew where he challenged the women to follow their dreams and help others along the way.

The Dunrobin resident is the proud owner of three medals from the Paralympics – gold from Torino, Italy; silver from Nagano, Japan; and bronze from Lillehammer.

Nicholson, who grew up on a farm in Kinburn, described himself as a kid who had the opportunity to do a lot, thanks to parents who encouraged him to play sports.

Now he shares that encouragement with others, spreading the message to “never give up on your dreams, and push the people around you to do more, to want more, to achieve more.”

“Believe in yourself and the things you think you are capable of doing,” he says. And if thereʼs something you want to do but think you canʼt, find the people who can help you achieve your goals.”

Nicholson was returning from his high school prom when he was involved in a car accident “and that was what changed my life forever.” But in ways the 18-year-old high school student could never imagine.

“I can honestly say that I have done more with my life than I ever would have,” he said.

Because when he was a kid, he dreamed of playing hockey in the NHL. “Was I good enough? No. Not even close. But I still had that dream in my head that I wanted to play sports and I wanted to achieve those goals and dreams Iʼd set for myself,” he said.

After the accident, his parents advised him to keep chasing his dreams.

“Donʼt ever give up on your dreams,” Nicholson said. “There is someone out there that will help you get to

the next level; will help you achieve those goals. You just need to find them.”

Nicholson found those people and they led him to sledge hockey and the international stage.

Even when a major infection and series of surgeries threatened his very life prior to the 2006 Paralympics in Torino, his doctor in Hawkesbury found a Toronto physician that helped him manage his condition so he could compete.

And a big part of his desire to play in Torino came in two garbage bags his parents delivered. They were filled with get-well wishes from students urging him to never give up.

“For me, that was the push I needed to go.”

That was in November.

Then from Jan. 2 to the end of the Paralympic Games, Nicholson never missed a game or practice. He also carried the Canadian flag in the opening ceremonies.

After Torino, Nicholson didnʼt know if he was prepared to go another four years to prepare for Vancouver, but didnʼt take long to realize his was a dream he wanted to finish at home.

“I wasnʼt there to win a medal. I wasnʼt there to do anything other than to go and compete and do the best I possibly could. Unfortunately, Canada wasnʼt successful on the ice in Vancouver. But we were very successful off the ice.

During his presentation at St. Josephʼs Catholic High School, Nicholson proudly displayed the Team Canada jersey he earned after his first sledge hockey tryouts, as well as all three Paralympic medals and his sledge and racing chair he uses for triathlon.

“Anything you do, I can do.

I just have to do it a little bit differently,” he said, noting how the Paralympic Games in Nagano, Japan seemed to signal a greater social acceptance of people with disabilities.

Itʼs a change that continues to evolve as society breaks down the barriers associated with disability.

World travel and exposure to competition where even a man with no arms and no legs can prove his athletic strength has affirmed Nicholsonʼs be-

lief that the sky is really the limit.

And even when a medal does not lie at the end of the journey – as was the case in Salt Lake City – Nicholson learned there was still great joy in the effort.

“I followed my dreams and surrounded myself with people who pushed me,” he said.

“I can guarantee everybody in this room that, at some point in your life, you are going to have obstacles put in your way that youʼre not sure how to get over,” he said.

For Nicholson, his accident was one of those things; an obstacle in the path to what he wanted to do.

But with determination, and help from others, great things can be achieved.

“So push the people around you to want to do more,” he urged.

“In no way, shape or form have I done this by myself,” he says. “Iʼve always surrounded myself with people who are very positive, who know how to push me.”

He said, after Nagano, society changed dramatically and saw how people with disabilities can still contribute. Nicholson, for example, sky dives, scuba dives and plays sports like basketball, baseball and golf.

He has lived his life from Games to Games, always planning for the next four years and grateful for the chance to be one of only 700 winter Paralympians worldwide.

Now retired, his key mission is to encourage others on the athletesʼ council of the Paralympic committee that represents athletes around the world.

“The skyʼs the limit to what youʼre capable of doing,” he says and encourages people to get involved in their community, and to help others to, perhaps, “get from the playground to the podium.

“The podium could be on the international stage or the podium could at your carnival, at any event all.

“I want you to push yourself. I want you to push the people around you, to do more; to be active.

“You never know how good youʼre going to be at something until you try,” he says.

Deslaurier Custom Cabinets owners unimpressed by visiting picketers Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Any rumours of labour unrest at Deslaurier Custom Cabinets are unfounded.

Striking employees of Commonwealth Plywood in Pembroke picketed the entrances to Deslaurier Custom Cabinets on Monday, but not because they had a beef with the Renfrew-based company.

Nevertheless, co-owners Jim Deslaurier and Denis Staples received about 50 emails or phone calls asking what was happening.

“Thereʼs no problem with Deslaurier Custom Cabinets,” said Michael McCarter, president of USW Local 1-1000 and one of 30 staff members of Commonwealth Plywood

of Pembroke. About 35 people have been on strike since the spring of 2010 and without a contract since April 2009.

“Theyʼre a business, and we have no trouble supporting them,” added McCarter.

The picket line, said McCarter, was intended to draw attention to their situation at Commonwealth Plywood.

“We were not happy when this happened,” said Deslaurier of Mondayʼs picketers.

“They can do what they want to, but to show up unannounced and try to boycott one of our members (Commonwealth Plywood) doesnʼt impress us.”

Deslaurier said he and Staples want to inform the public that their company is “alive and thriving, with no distur-

bance within the companyʼs labour force whatsoever.”

In negotiations with Commonwealth Plywood, McCarter said United Steelworkers employees were offered a nine-year contract that included cuts in pay of 15 to 30 per cent. This was offered, he said, following the previous six-year contract that provided 2.5 per cent salary raises in successive years.

The strikers picketed from about 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Monday. During that time, a busload of visitors came from the Canadian Harwood Plywood and Veneer Association annual meeting being held in Gatineau, Que. The strikers also handed out pamphlets to about a dozen passersby.

Description of Land: 14 Usborne St., Arnprior Part Lot 32, Seymour St., Plan 23, Part Lot 34, Arthur St., Plan 23, all as in Instrument No. R100439, Township of McNab/Braeside being PIN 57305-0220 (LT)

Minimum Tender Amount in Dollars: Fifteen Thousand One Hundred and Ninety Eight Dollars and Ninety Four Cents.

($ 15,198.94)

Tenders must be submitted in the prescribed form and must be accompanied by a deposit in the form of a money order or of a bank draft or cheque certified by a bank or trust corporation payable to the municipality and representing at least 20 per cent of the tender amount.

Except as follows, the municipality makes no representation regarding the title to or any other matters relating to the land to be sold. Responsibility for ascertaining these matters rests with the potential purchasers.

The land does not include any mobile home which may be situated on the land.

This sale is governed by the Municipal Act, 2001 and the Municipal Tax Sales Rules made under that Act. The successful purchaser will be required to pay the amount tendered plus accumulated taxes and the relevant land transfer tax.

The municipality has no obligation to provide vacant possession to the successful purchaser.

Author Luke Murphy of Shawville. a season-ending injury to his left eye meant he only managed to play five games with the Oklahoma City Blazers of the Central Hockey League, but he used that winter of 2000 wisely.

He sat down at the computer and began writing. Writing a little every day, while continuing an intensive rehab program for his eye, he soon completed his first manuscript, one that is still unpublished.

Before long, he was back playing hockey, but Murphy continued his interest in writing, researching, reading up on the industry, making friends with published and unpublished authors, and learning more about how to write well.

Eventually, after his playing career was over, he returned to university, to earn his teaching degree at the University of Ottawa in 2009.

But he also returned to writing more vigorously. In the winter of 2007 he began two years of writing what became Dead Man’s Hand.

He also hired Jennifer Lyons of the Jennifer Lyons Literacy Agency, but only after taking his rough manuscript to New York editor Paul McCarthy.

“He really liked it, but he said it needed work, and we worked on it off and on for six months,” says Murphy. “Finally, we had it polished.”

Along the way, Murphy says heʼs learned two huge lessons about his own writing.

“A lot was trusting my readers more. (Before) I told

too much.”

Secondly, he says the author needs to let the reader imagine.

“You donʼt have to describe every movement of every character,” he explains. “Make sure you show; donʼt tell.”

Thatʼs what he does in Dead Man’s Hand, which be-

Itʼs 1999 and Luke Murphy of Shawville finishes off a pretty two-on-one play, putting the puck upstairs behind goalie Mathieu Chouinard.

Itʼs the winning goal in a Florida Panthersʼ 3-2 exhibitiongame victory over the Ottawa Senators.

The Ottawa Valley boy is flying, but his fortune runs out when he breaks his hand later in the Panthersʼ training camp.

“I was having a good camp.

I was playing pretty well,” said Murphy, one of the smallest players on the ice, at 165 pounds.

He doesnʼt make the team, but when offered a minor league contract, he takes it and ends up playing pro hockey in the minors for six seasons.

Murphy loves telling the story, but the 36-year-old is hoping a longer story of his, all 230 pages of it, also creates positive dividends.

Now working for school boards in Renfrew County and western Quebec, as an occasional teacher, heʼs also enjoying a literary triumph — the publication of his debut novel, Dead Man’s Hand, by Imajin Books.

The e-book version was released, with Amazon, in midOctober. The print version followed, also last month.

With deep roots in sports, Murphy admits he wanted his main character to be involved in sports. So former football star Calvin Watters, of the University of Southern California, becomes one of two main characters in a story that is steeped in the seedier side of Las Vegas, and a city Murphy has visited for research purposes.

Following rave reviews from such best-selling authors as Thomas Perry of Poison Flower, Anne Frasier of Hush and Anthony Bidulka of Dos Equis, Murphy is hopeful that the book will resonate with readers.

Dead Manʼs Hand isnʼt exactly an aberration for Murphy, either. Growing up in a family that enjoyed reading, he was no exception. He particularly enjoyed crimes and mysteries, including those that were parlayed into movies.

“I always loved reading,” he says. “I loved reading books on road trips or in the cafeteria (during my hockey career). All my family loved reading.”

It was an injury, it turns out, that created a literary opening for Murphy, who already enjoyed such crime authors as Greg Iles, Michael Connelly and Harlen Coben. Suffering

gins with main character Calvin Watters crossing the street of a quiet neighbourhood. He heads past cobwebs into the basement, and begins a conversation with James Pierce, the man he has tied to a chair in the middle of the room because he hasnʼt paid his debts.

After Pierce promises to pay, Murphy writes this about Watters and his captive: He leaned over the table.

For effect, he took his time as he opened the leather case and removed the tools of his trade. “One day, one joint.”

This was when most of them broke down all the way.

And Pierce didn’t disappoint him. A scream boiled from the man’s belly and erupted like a relentless siren.

Calvin ignored Pierce as best he could. There were 206 bones in the human skeleton.

A pro had trained him to use them all.

“Hammer or pipe cutter?”

“God, no!”

In May 2012, Murphy signed a publishing contract for Dead Man’s Hand with Imajin Books (Alberta).

Murphyʼs second book, which heʼs working on, is a crime thriller. The book features a rookie female detective who is pulled between two murder cases, one of a university professor, one of her own father, who also worked for the Los Angeles Police Department.

Open minds, open doors Hiring the disabled R0011609187_0913

SUBMITTED

Mark Wafer and one of his longest-serving employees, Clint Sparling. an important part of the workforce “The result since 2009 is huge,” he says.

“One-hundred and thirtyseven people with a disability hired in meaningful positions.

No charity.

“That means competitive salaries. This includes every department from managers to front-line staff, production and logistics.”

One of the compelling aspects of Mark Waferʼs experience is from his role as a business owner.

“Many employers think people with disabilities are going to get hurt on the job or not work diligently. This is simply

not true,” he says.

“As employers we have never had a WSIB claim on any of our disabled employees, and while the average tenure for most of my employees is 1.3 years, it is seven years for my employees with a disability.

Educating employers on those benefits is the most important thing that we can do.”

The cost for the dinner and speech is $25. Preregistration is available for this event, and a receipt can be issued. To order a ticket, please contact Jacqui Phillips at the Bonnechere Manor Foundation at 4324873, ext. 1253 or jphillips@ county ofrenfrew.ca

Focus on parenting at Arnprior workshops Arnprior Child and Youth Counsellor Darlene Denis-Friske will be offering two workshops for parents and professionals in November.

Making Sense of Adolescence will be a Saturday morning presentation for parents (Nov. 24, $50/person), allowing parents to take a step back and consider the larger picture of the pivotal psychological and emotional changes unfolding in this place of development.

Deeper insight into dynamics involved in adolescent development can alleviate confusion, provide clarity, and offer parents reassurance and guidance about how to work with what they see unfolding in their son or daughter.

Making Sense of Discipline will be a three-

part videocourse for parents and professionals

by Dr. Gordon Neufeld, facilitated by DenisFriske (Nov. 8, 15, 22: $60/person). Neufeld is a foremost Canadian child development and attachment expert, and a long-time mentor of Denis-Friske. This course will speak to the question of discipline from the much larger context of what is attachment-safe, developmentally-friendly, and supportive of healthy maturation and psychological growth.

Both workshops will be located at the Ontario Early Years Centre at the Kenwood Corporate Centre.

The County of Renfrew and The Rotary Club of Renfrew will host a very special speech and dinner at the Rotary Hall in the Bonnechere Manor on Thursday, Nov. 22.

Mark Wafer, a Rotarian and successful businessman, will tell his workplace story of how he employs a number of individuals with disabilities throughout his six stores in the Whitby and Oshawa area.

The purpose of the dinner is to share his experience with fellow business owners, and help break down the stereotypes and misconceptions of hiring people with disabilities.

All proceeds from the dinner will go to the Bonnechere Manor Foundation.

Wafer himself has a hearing disability, but that has never gotten in the way of him building a series of successful businesses over the last 20 years.

To date he has hired 82 people with disabilities, including 33 now in his workforce of 210 spread over six locations.

As Wafer points out, there is tremendous opportunity for both employers and the disabled.

Together with Joe Dale of Rotary International, he created a program called Rotary at Work to convince employers that the disabled can become

OPINION

Your Community Newspaper

EDITORIAL

Sun shines on Reach for the Rainbow Sunshine Coach telethon The Renfrew and area community continues to show its true colours.

Despite tough economic times, residents and businesses have underscored their deep commitment to transportation service for all.

When the ďŹ nal total was tallied at the 2012 Reach for the Rainbow telethon last weekend in the Renfrew Collegiate gymnasium, the effort had raised almost $64,000.

And when the Kilos of Coins were added up â&#x20AC;&#x201C; $1,442.67 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the ďŹ nal grand hit $65,378.67.

If you missed contributing to the telethon, itĘźs not too late to lend a helping hand. Donations are always welcome at the program of-

ďŹ ce, located on Plaunt Street behind the Renfrew Town Hall.

Money raised at the annual autumn telethon is important to the operation of this critical public service, but the effort goes far beyond raising money â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it also raises awareness. And awareness is equally important because it helps us to better appreciate the challenges faced by our disabled friends and neighbours, and applaud the people supporting these fundraisers, often quietly behind the scenes.

We are blessed in Renfrew and area to have a strong core of volunteers committed to helping others.

The Reach for the Rainbow Sunshine Coach telethon is possible, thanks to the efforts of more than 150 volunteers.

And thatĘźs just one initiative.

Consider the vast array of other important fundraising efforts, for everything from cancer research and palliative care to doctor recruitment and youth sports.

At the recent womenĘźs health fair, the keynote speaker was ďŹ ve-time Paralympian and three-time sledge hockey medalist Todd Nicholson who spoke eloquently and with passion about the importance of following oneĘźs dreams.

Later this month the Renfrew Rotary Club welcomes a very special guest as business owner, accessibility advocate and Rotarian Mark Wafer comes to Renfrew for a presentation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Open Minds, Open Doors: Hiring Disabled Workers.

The event in the Rotary Hall at the Bonnechere Manor is sponsored by the Renfrew Rotary Club and County of Renfrew.

Wafer will speak about the advantages of hiring disabled people and the free resources to hire the disabled.

All proceeds of the dinner and presentation will go to the Bonnechere Manor Foundation.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Plentiful support for McDougall Museum To the editor: The McDougall Mill Museum has grown from nothing to a marvel for the people of Renfrew and visitors here over the last 40+ years.

All of it has been made possible by the generosity of people in the area. We donĘźt acknowledge this generosity often enough. However, I would look to point out a couple of recent donations as representative of many in the past.

During Rural Ramble last year Messers Burwell, Ogden, Carriere, Lemkay and Anderson boiled corn and sold it, donating the proceeds to the museum. In the spring we received a generous donation, of a large Barnett wood fridge out of the old Douglas Tea Room, from Teressa Remus. Fortunately for us, MarshalĘźs Welding & Construction agreed to pick it up, otherwise

it would not have happened. Many times over the years the public works crew has helped us above and beyond expectations. Their reconstruction of the walkway this summer is only the most recent one.

We have received donations and support from many unnamed people and businesses, notably The Renfrew Mercury and the Town of Renfrew, over the years and would like to offer our appreciation to them also. It is above all the people of Renfrew that make the museum special and Let it Flourish. Yours sincerely, Daniel P. Gilchrist President, Board of Directors Renfrew & District Historical & Museum Society Inc.

Learn about Canadian military heritage To the editor: I am a member of The War Amps Operation Legacy, which consists of young members and graduates of the Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program who are dedicated to preserving and commemorating CanadaĘźs military heritage by teaching younger generations about our nationĘźs wartime history.

I have had the privilege to learn about CanadaĘźs military heritage and also know what it is like to live without a limb â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a strong bond that I share with war amputee veterans. CHAMP was started by war amputee veterans and I want to give back to those who have given me so much.

The War Amps has produced a number of

internationally award-winning documentaries about CanadaĘźs military heritage. D-Day: The Story of the Canadian Assault Troops tells the story of how the Canadian troops got farther inland than any other force. The story is told by a soldier who fought with the troops in Normandy and gives a Canadian perspective on this important day in Canadian history.

I encourage all of you to learn more about CanadaĘźs history by means of The War Amps Military Heritage Series documentaries, which can be ordered at waramps.ca.

Sincerely, Jenny Fredenburgh Operation Legacy Member Brantford

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a way to encourage the farmers not to sell their cattle and to stay in business.â&#x20AC;?

The whole beef industry took a big step back because of the BSE (mad-cow) episode of 2005. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We ďŹ gured it would be another two years before they were back to regular herds, but now it may take ďŹ ve years.â&#x20AC;?

The hay recently trucked from Saskatchewan and Alberta is going to Pontiac County farmers Paul Haldeman of CampbellĘźs Bay, Emiry Lacroix of Fort-Coulonge, and Scott Stephens of Clarendon.

The hay has been donated by western Canadian farmers.

Transportation costs are being subsidized by haulers or the Mennonite Disaster Service.

This leaves the farmer to pay about one-third to one-half the normal price of hay.

The recent rain, says Judd, was too late for corn and soybean crops, but the rain is helping to extend the pasture season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we go another month without snow, that would be great,â&#x20AC;? said Horton Township resident Bob Johnston, president of the Ontario Federation of AgricultureĘźs Renfrew County Chapter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I wasnĘźt getting this hay, IĘźd be selling off half my herd,â&#x20AC;? said Haldeman, who has about 50 head of cattle, and is pay-

ing a discount price for 15 large-round bales weighing in at 1,400 to 1,700 pounds apiece. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is just what we needed. ItĘźs either this, or get rid of the cattle. ThereĘźs no alternative,â&#x20AC;? added Haldeman, who has never seen drought this bad in this part of Canada.

Another beneďŹ ciary is Scott Stephens, one of the younger farmers around, at age 28.

The discount hay, he says, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;going to allow us to keep our ďŹ&#x201A;ock of sheep.â&#x20AC;? Stephens has managed to keep most of his 40 head of cattle, but was worried about the future of 70 ewes until the hay arrived.

To date, four truckloads of hay have come to the Upper Ottawa Valley for distribution, and another ďŹ ve of the next eight truckloads to Ontario will come to this region. That will mean 15 large bales for each of 10 farmers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;ItĘźs like taking a spoonful out of the mountain. Right now itĘźs a small amount, but thereĘźs no question thereĘźs a need,â&#x20AC;? said Brian Hamilton, the OFAĘźs regional member services rep. â&#x20AC;&#x153;ItĘźs a process thatĘźs gaining momentum. This is helping with awareness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the concept that hay is being donated, itĘźs also helping lower the price of local hay. WeĘźre also fundraising to help offset transportation costs.â&#x20AC;?

Meanwhile, the campaign continues to bring hay eastward throughout the winter.

business all over the world,â&#x20AC;? added the Golden Lake resident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a little taken aback about how interested they were and how excited they were about what they saw.â&#x20AC;?

The companyĘźs whole focus, stressed Bishop, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is that there is no waste. If you understand the nitrogen cycle, youĘźre going to be able to convert it to something (useful).â&#x20AC;?

Third Hoot for Hospice Nov. 10 at Armouries Barb Westgarth

Hoot for Hospice

The third annual Hoot for Hospice is scheduled to take place at the Renfrew Armouries on Saturday, Nov. 10.

The Hoot is a “ladiesʼ night out” where ladies from across the county come out to have a hootinʼ good time while the men are away hunting. All proceeds go to Hospice Renfrew. The Hoot is one of its three major fundraisers.

Hospice Renfrew provides end-of-life care, free of charge, to people from all over Renfrew County and be-

yond. The government funds about 40 per cent of the operating dollars so Hospice Renfrew is highly dependent on funding from these events and other support from the broader community.

This yearʼs Hoot for Hospice will feature a selection of food from a variety of Ottawa Valley restaurateurs and the rockinʼ good entertainment of Eddie and the Sting Rays.

Jamie Cybulski of myFM and Sarah Freemark of CTV2 will host the evening. Jordan McIntosh will also make a special appearance to sing his new hit single Walk Away.

Prizes for best decorated table will be voted on by participants. The event will also feature door prizes and a silent auction. Table decorating commences at 5 p.m. and the fun begins at 6 p.m.

Jo-Anne Dowdall Brown said that tickets are $40 per lady and are available at Renfrew Home Hardware and Keeping Company or by contacting her at 613-432-8080.

She said that this is an event not to be missed so get your tickets early. For more information and pictures from last year, check out the web site at www.hootforhospice.ca.

DOMESTIC DISPUTES

During the past week Renfrew OPP officers responded to five domestic disputes. No criminal charges were laid.

IMPAIRED DRIVING, THEFT CHARGE

On Saturday, Oct. 27 at about 10 p.m., a male reported seeing suspicious activity on his property on Highway 60 in Admaston-Bromley Township.

A pick-up truck was observed trespassing in the area of fuel storage tanks on the victimʼs property.

When the suspect was approached, they fled on Highway 60 towards Renfrew. The victim followed them into town, where they lost sight of them.

The victim attended the OPP detachment and reported the incident.

A few hours later officers received a report of a possible

Winter is about to land, and now is the time to prepare your vehicle for winter driving.

Here, therefore, are tips on preparing your car and your driving habits for the winter months.

GET YOUR VEHICLE READY

• Install four winter-rated tires before the first snowfall. They improve driving safety by providing better traction, braking and handling during frost, snow, slush, and particularly under icy conditions. Installing four winter tires provides greater control and stability.

• Have an ice scraper or snow brush

ADJUST YOUR DRIVING HABITS

• Drivers must slow down! Speed too fast for road conditions is the number one cause of winter collisions.

• Drive according to the road and weather conditions.

• Leave extra spaces between vehicles.

Stopping distances are at least doubled on snowy roads and even longer in icy conditions.

• Know where you are. If you require help in an emergency it will delay the arrival of emergency responders if you donʼt know your location when asked.

• Monitor road and weather conditions. Plan your trip and check local weather conditions before heading out.

• Check the Ministry of Transportation website before any winter trip.

Please do not call 9-1-1 or the OPP for road reports. Instead, log onto www.mto. gov.on.ca/english/traveller/conditions

Over the weekend of Oct. 19-21 a thief entered an apartment on Patrick Avenue in Renfrew and stole food. There was no sign of forced entry, therefore the locks were changed and Sgt. Rob Guty is investigating.

On Thursday, Oct. 25 Provincial Const. Mark Yarmel began investigating after a report from Milano Pizza & Subs in Renfrew that they had experienced several breakand-enters recently.

The complainant reports that cash had been stolen, but there had not been any sign of forced entry.

On the morning of the report, the manager noticed a former employee enter the back door of the closed business. The male stole a quantity of money and fled out the front door when he realized the manager had arrived.

Following the investigation, a 39-year-old Renfrew man was arrested and charged with six counts of theft under $5,000; five counts of breakand-enter with intent to commit an indictable offence; one count of break-and-enter and committing an indictable offence; and one count of failing to comply with an undertaking or recognizance.

He was released from police custody on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew Nov. 28.

A seasonal property was broken into the week prior to Oct. 28.

The break-in was discovered when the owner arrived and noticed tools and a wood splitter missing. The property is located on Robertson Line in McNab-Braeside Township. Const. Barry Richardson is investigating.

Keefe to hold Saturday signing for first book Bonnie Keefe of Castleford has put pen to paper in a way she never thought she might a few years ago.

She recently had her ďŹ rst book, Love Lost, published, and sheĘźs not about to stop there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;IĘźm working on my second one,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Love Lost is) kind of like a romance, ďŹ ction, comedy novel,â&#x20AC;? Keefe said.

ItĘźs about a woman (Alleen) whose ďŹ ancĂŠ cancels their wedding on the day they were to be married.

Then Alleen thinks back and realizes, sheĘźs been dumped by every guy she has ever been with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She goes back through her history to ďŹ nd out why her boyfriends have left her in the past,â&#x20AC;? Keefe said.

Alleen is logical and smart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She writes novels, has her own talk show. She has everything she wants profes-

sionally. She just doesnĘźt have her own relationship that sheĘźs yearning to have.â&#x20AC;?

In her own life, Keefe was able to turn a bad situation into something pretty good over the past couple of years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two years ago, I took a mini stroke and was in the hospital in Pembroke for three months,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While there, I met other people. There was stuff weĘźd talk about each day.â&#x20AC;?

Bonnie mentioned some of the topics that came up in their daily chats to husband Jim, so one day he brought in her laptop computer so she could keep track of what she and the other patients discussed.

Next thing Bonnie knew, she had a story nicely started. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started pulling things together and ďŹ nished it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I sat on it (what she wrote) for awhile,â&#x20AC;? she added.

Then she had friends and Jim read what she wrote. They liked what they saw, so Bonnie decided sheĘźd send it off.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnĘźt have a lot of money,â&#x20AC;? Keefe added, but a publisher in the United States said sheĘźd print the book at a reasonable cost.

But the publisher noted the book would need a good front cover picture.

Plucking one off Facebook entered KeefeĘźs mind, but then she realized, she might have to deal with copyrights.

A friend, Olivia Huyer, and daughter Marianne offered to help.

Marianne took the picture.

It shows Olivia depicting Alleen sitting at a piano. â&#x20AC;&#x153;SheĘźs sitting there, thinking (as Alleen would be) about her past romances, and what went wrong,â&#x20AC;? with each.

Keefe is holding a book signing of Love Lost on Saturday, Nov. 3 at the Renfrew ďŹ&#x201A;ea market she operates at 220 Carswell St. The book signing runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The cost is $19.99 for soft cover and $29.99 for hard cover.

Cadet update Champlain 653 Cadets

The orienteering training started on a rainy note, but despite this, 15 cadets showed up for a fun-ďŹ lled day of training, held on Calumet Island, in the hopes of being one of the eight eligible to attend the competition in Sudbury.

The day started with gathering some wood for the ďŹ re.

After a short brieďŹ ng, the cadets were separated in teams. They had one hour to ďŹ nd 10 targets using a map and a compass.

Following lunch, the cadets were on their own for the race.

This time they had one and a half hours to ďŹ nd all 10 targets. All cadets did well and had lots of fun and fortunately the rain held off for the rest of the day.

The cadets who made the team and went to Sudbury for the competition held on Saturday, Sept. 29 were the girlsĘź team of Case V., Godin P., Judd T. and Judd J. as the spare; and the boysĘź team of Gladwin G., Pudsey Z., Hart T. and Croft C. as the spare.

At the competition day, the female unit team placed 20th out of 26, with Jessica Judd coming in eighth place in CompF5.

The Male Unit Team came sixth out of 31, with Connor Croft 10th in CompM8. Bravo to all who participated. Job well done.

Christmas decorations shone and sparkled everywhere as shoppers checked out the season’s newest offerings last week at Home Hardware in Renfrew.

Home Hardware unwraps Christmas Lucy Hass lucy.hass@metroland.com

Home Hardware in Renfrew unwrapped Christmas early with its fifth annual fundraising event last week at the OʼBrien Road store.

A bake sale and ticket sales raised $3,717.77 for the digital mammography fund at Renfrew Victoria Hospital, which is roughly double what was raised last year.

“The event was a rousing success,” said Karen Maxwell who, with husband Steve, own the Renfrew Home Hardware.

“The staff committee headed by Jen Huot

that puts this event together every year is an amazing group of people, said Maxwell.

“They work really hard, and everyone else here gives them a ton of support, so itʼs truly a team effort.

“This was our fifth annual Unwrapping Christmas Early and so we have a new benchmark to shoot for and achieve next year in terms of dollars raised.

“I guess our goal will be to get to the $4,000 mark now!,” she exclaimed.

“A big thank you to all our customers who came out in support or a great cause, and those who purchased tickets in advance,” she said.

Ravens gather in huge roosts for the winter months Kevin and Pauline Hughes had a huge flock of ravens gather in the field behind their home. It is uncommon for so many to gather in one spot but after the young have gained some independence both adults and young gather together for the winter.

By the end of October large communal roosts have been established away from humans and close to a food source, a landfill site or other source of carrion. The birds spend the nights resting and communicating in the roost.

At dawn the birds break up into small flocks of 10 to 20 birds and move away from the roost to search for food. They have been known to make a 23mile (37.5-km) trip from food source to roost. There may be several pre-roosts along the way that the ravens will visit during the day to preen and digest their food. By mid-afternoon they begin to make their way back to the main roost.

Ravens may be conspicuous at pre-roost sites but they fly low, directly toward the roost site, remaining quiet all the way.

Once they reach the site they dive straight into it and stay still and quiet.

Communal roosts may also develop where unmated birds and mated pairs that have not

EVENING GROSBEAKS

SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE

Barry Bennett had a male evening grosbeak at his sunflower feeder this week and Marlene Hanneman had a flock of 10 at her sunflower feeder. This species has not been as numerous at our feeders as they have in the past but numbers are on the increase.

They prefer sunflower and will come to feed if the seeds are available. They seem to favour the oil seed rather than the striped seed at our feeders but at other feeders they prefer the striped. We cannot seem to find a reason why.

If evening grosbeaks come to your feeders, please let us know.

nested may go for the night.

Year-round roosts have been found and although not as busy as during the winter months they are used as a gathering place for all.

WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN

Ross and Judy McEwen have been investigating their property to find out where the birds have been nesting this past summer. When the leaves have fallen from the trees the nests are much easier to see and they are not usually damaged.

Although the birds will not nest in exactly the same place next year, they will be in the same vicinity.

By spring most of the nest material will have disappeared.

Whether the birds build disposable nests on purpose or not we cannot tell, but as fall rains and winter snow and wind destroy the nests they also destroy any parasites that may be in the nest material.

It is a good idea to destroy any nests you see and remove all nests that remain in your nest boxes.

mark. They are very much like white and red-breasted nuthatches but search for food in the opposite direction. Now that there are no leaves on the trees, finding a brown creeper will be a bit easier.

WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILLS

Sybil Ferguson saw 12 white-winged crossbills in a

pine tree close to where the feeders are located.

There are two species of crossbill, red and whitewinged.

The only difference is the two large white wing bars on the black wings of the whitewinged. The long bill with crossed tips is the main field mark of both species.

They extract conifer seeds by forcing the scales of the

cones apart with their bills and lifting out the seeds with their tongue. They eat other seeds and insects as well. Road salt is a favourite and this sometimes results in the birds being killed along roadsides.

Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, R.R. 5, Renfrew, Ont., K7V 3Z8; 613-432-2738 or email jamesh@nrtco.net.

BROWN CREEPER

Cathy Campbell saw a brown creeper this week, the first for some time. This little creeper is brown and tan above, whitish below and with a slightly down-curved bill and is extremely difficult to find in its favourite habitat. If you are very quiet you might hear its high pitched whistle.

Its distinctive habit of feeding by creeping up a tree trunk, then dropping down to the base of the next tree and starting up again is a good field

Caring for Your Land Workshop Nov. 7 The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Conservancy (MMLTC) invites local landowners and all nature lovers to a landownersʼ workshop in Arnprior on Wednesday, Nov. 7.

The catalyst for the workshop was the recent acquisition of the nearby High Lonesome Nature Reserve, a property that has been certified as ecologically significant by Environment Canada. The workshop will offer the opportunity to learn about the rich natural features of the area, including species at risk, and the role individual landowners can play to be good stewards of their own bit of paradise.

The family of the late Barry (Sam) Spicer recently donated this 200-acre wilderness in the Pakenham Hills to the MMLTC to protect its natural state in perpetuity. MMLTC is delighted with this land acquisition with its network of trails that wander up, down and through forests, by beaver ponds and along creeks.

The fact it lies within a Provincially Significant Wetland Complex lends to its exceptional ecological diversity. With funding from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR)

Species at Risk Stewardship Fund, inventory work was completed this summer with a focus on targeted species at risk. MMLTC will protect the diverse natural habitats and native biodiversity with special attention to these species.

The workshop will address the importance of species at risk and their habitat, and provide information on how to protect them A MNR official will answer questions related to implications for having species at risk on oneʼs property.

For more information on MMLTC, visitwww.mmltc.ca.

The Caring for Your Land Workshop will also provide information on other tools available to rural landowner such as Nature in Deed, a web portal that leads to information onsuch topics as how to deal with nuisance beavers and bears, naturalize a shoreline, and manage a well and septic system.

The workshop runs 7 to 9 p.m.at the Arnprior Public Library. For more details, call 613278-2939 or e-mail admin@mmltc.ca

We would love for you to meet WYLIE #4408 Handsome Wylie is looking for his forever home.

He is an energetic Border Collie/Retriever mix, just a year old, he came in as a stray and was never claimed. Wylie is just a big exuberant puppy, he would love to ямБnd an active home to keep him busy. He is intelligent and eager to learn especially if there are treats involved! He knows a couple of basic commands would really beneямБt from more training, he is crate trained & house broken. Wylie enjoys playing with other dogs and would make a great companion for a lonely dog. He would be best suited in a home without small children. Do you have room in your heart & home for this sweet boy?

The ongoing drought experienced during the summer of 2012 has required that the routine water distribution system flushing be minimized. As previously reported, the Town has been managing the presence of manganese in the raw and treated water.

Although manganese does not create a health concern it did create challenges with colour in the treated water at some homes. Distribution system flushing is now required to clean and maintain the water system.

SUPPLIES NEEDED THIS WEEK: Dog cookies, dog treats, lysol wipes, greenworks cleaner & fabric softener sheets

Water Conservation Target - 20% Reduction in Water Use. Despite recent rainfall, the groundwater levels have not shown any significant level of recharge, and they are below normal across the County. Even if we experience significant rainfall this autumn, our groundwater levels may not re-charge adequately for the winter months.

Well drillers recommend taking action now, before freezing temperatures arrive and difficulties and costs increase.

Suggestions for residents relying on groundwater and wells: If you have a dug well where you can safely and easily measure the level, record it and check weekly to determine if your well is recharging or if you are at risk of losing your water supply. Turn off electrical power to pump prior to measuring.

Do not attempt to measure levels in a drilled well - consult a well drilling contractor.

Haley Gale enjoys experience with Admaston-Bromley Township Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Admaston-Bromley Township hired on Haley Gale, Marissa Mulligan and Derek Shields as students ambassadors at the Stone Road, Douglas and Osceola landďŹ ll sites over the past summer.

Gale was on hand Thursday, Oct. 18 to offer her recycling report and experience to council. She was employed at the Douglas landďŹ ll site and occasionally at the Stone Road landďŹ ll site, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was very much an educational experience, as I learned an excess of information about the recycling program in Admaston-Bromley. I am very fortunate to have had this learning opportunity so that I can continue to do my part in conserving the environment,â&#x20AC;?

Gale said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This experience not only opened my eyes more fully to the overall importance of recycling, but it also allowed me to rise above one of societyĘźs many stereotypes of women.

a blatantly negative attitude towards recycling, but I did encounter people who were just simply unaware of what could and could not be recycled.

For many people, physical signs explaining where to put certain items are very helpful, so I think in Douglas, it would be beneďŹ cial to have signs on the recycling bins that say what type of item goes in each bin, Gale observed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also, I think that it would be valuable for residents to have a compact, laminated version of the list of what is recyclable and not acceptable so that they can post it in their home or garage for more efďŹ cient sorting.â&#x20AC;?

Gale said she has learned more about the proper way to recycle, the many duties of a waste attendant, and the mechanics of operating a garbage truck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been thoroughly rewarding to be a part of such a signiďŹ cant program,â&#x20AC;? she added.

Gale also ran the kidsĘź summer reading program at the Admaston-Bromley Public Library at Douglas in July and early August.

and the bins so that the recyclables are less likely to fall in between where people stand and where the bins are.

Some Douglas residents felt that their site should have a designated area to recycle glass, similar to that of the Stone Road site.

The Douglas and Stone Road sites were both steadily busy, but Gale said there were deďŹ nitely more people at the Stone Road site in a day than the Douglas site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I found that there was rarely only one person at either site at one time. There were clusters of people that came at once, or there was no one at all.â&#x20AC;?

ThatĘźs how it goes pretty well everywhere, Mayor RayeAnne Briscoe said.

Gale said the ratio of garbage to recycling was 2:1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In general the promotion of recycling was well-received and many people were committed to properly sorting their recycled items. There was, however, a select group of people who disregarded the need for recycling and chose instead to mix recyclables in with their regular household waste. I did not experience anyone who had

for the women that can ďŹ ll this role with the same capacity as men. There is also the common assumption that working at a landďŹ ll site is a smelly, dirty, and un-enjoyable experience.

However, I have come to ďŹ nd that this is not always the case.

Yes, it will inevitably be smelly at times, but in Admaston-Bromley we are very fortunate to have well-organized sites that provide residents with an efďŹ cient way to recycle.â&#x20AC;?

On a scale of 1 to 10, Gale gave the Stone Road site a nine and Douglas a seven. â&#x20AC;&#x153;1 cannot speak to the Osceola site, as I did not work there, but I can assume that they provide quality service. In speaking with ratepayers, it is evident that the sites are quite convenient with appropriate set-ups.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only suggestion for improvement I received was for the recycling bins at the Douglas site,â&#x20AC;? Gale added.

There are currently three connected bins slightly below the driveway in Douglas with two metal chutes to throw the recyclables down, The proposition was to ďŹ nd a way to ďŹ ll the space between the driveway

Musicians rosin up the bow at fall Heritage Radio fiddle party Lucy Hass Lucy.hass@metroland.com

Fiddle fans from Douglas and Beachburg to Arnprior and Ottawa enjoyed an evening of some of the regionʼs finest fiddle music Oct. 20, thanks to the Kinburn Community Association Inc. The association placed the highest bid when a group of local musicians put their services up for auction on Ottawa Valley Heritage Radio 98.7. The auction was part of the community radio stationʼs annual fundraising telethon earlier this year.

Renfrew fiddler Dennis Harrington said the idea was borrowed from the musical duo Bahoo and The Brat who tried a similar project.

“I give every credit to Bahoo and The Brat,” said Harrington.

“They had the idea.”

Bidding on the fiddlersʼ time and talent started at $300 and just kept rising.

Harrington thought the auction might raise up to $500 but actually hit $2,000 when the Kinburn Community Association placed its bid for a four-hour fall fiddle party.

“There are no better people than the musicians in the Ottawa Valley,” Harrington said during a recent interview with Dai Bassett on Valley Heritage radio just days before the event. “I never dreamed it would bring in $2,000,” he told Bassett.

Harrington has a regular show on the popular community radio station – Cross-Canada Fiddling every Sunday from 1 to 2 p.m.

OPP, Special Olympians enjoy Be a Fan Day Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

PETER CLARK/METROLAND

Together with Special Olympians, the Renfrew OPP is raising awareness in support of Special Olympics. Be A Fan Day in front of the Renfrew town hall at Low Square included the selling of red laces for their boots, with proceeds going to Special Olympics Renfrew. In front row from left are community relations officer Janice Sawbridge, Jesse Stroud, Special Olympics coach Kinga Czigany-Macaskill, Kevin Ostroskie, Eric Teschke and Richard Gourgon; and standing, Const. Carlvin Burgins, Const. Joe Roach, Christine Drouillard, Auxiliary Const. Rhys Densmore, Denise Gourgon, Clare Kenopic, Const. Hayley Chaplin, detachment commander Staff Sgt. Colin Slight, Tom Welch, Travis Tachynsky, Garry Inglis and Const. Mark Yarmel.

The Renfrew OPP joined several other detachments from throughout the province to host Be A Fan Day in support of Special Olympics Oct. 25 at Low Square “We have dedicated this to the awareness of Special Olympics,” Const. Hayley Chaplin said.

“Weʼll use it as an opportunity to show people the difference between Special Olympics and Paralympics.

“Special Olympics is for people with intellectual disabilities.”

This is the 25th anniversary of the Law Enforcement Torch Run Program in Canada that makes its

way through Renfrew yearly in the late spring.

The men and women in Law Enforcement are Special Olympicsʼ biggest fans, hence the name, Be A Fan Day. The event at Low Square included refreshments and the wearing of distinctive Special Olympics red shoe laces in their boots.

“We are all here wearing red laces for the cause,” Const. Chaplin said.

Red shoes laces are available at the Community Living office, or at Barry Breen Insurance.

They are on sale at $3 per pair, or $5 for two pairs.

Proceeds of the sales of the red shoe laces will go to Special Olympics Renfrew.

Timberwolves clean up on the road in Valley Division action Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Three quick wins have certainly changed the landscape of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey Leagueʼs Valley Division.

Fighting to get out of last place two weeks ago, the Renfrew Timberwolves have caught the Arnprior Packers and are now tied for the top of the Valley Division.

Highlighted by Drew Andersonʼs dramatics – two overtime game-winning goals – the Wolves won games in Ottawa West, Almonte and Clarence Creek inside of 48 hours.

The solar system lost a planet since the last time Renfrew won in Ottawa West, and the Wolves hadnʼt actually been stockpiling wins in Clarence Creek either.

WOLVES 6, OTTAWA WEST 5 (OT)

The Wolves posted a huge victory Thursday night.

Drew Andersonʼs unassisted short-

handed goal 1:21 into overtime lifted the Wolves to a victory in a rink they havenʼt won in for years, 6-5 over the Ottawa West Golden Knights at the Barbara Ann Scott Arena.

How long has it been?

Pluto was a planet when Renfrew last won in Barbara Annʼs house.

Andersonʼs goal, on a partial breakaway, was Renfrewʼs second shorthanded tally of the night.

Jesse Riopelle also connected with the Wolves down a man with just two seconds left in the opening period.

Riopelle finished with two goals, as did Casey Doner.

Doner also had a key late-period tally, scoring with just seven ticks showing in the second frame.Patrick McGrath had the other Renfrew marker in the see-saw contest.

The Wolves held leads of 1-0, 4-3 and 5-3 along the way, and trailed 2-1 and 3-2.

Ottawa West killed off the gameʼs first and their only penalty of the night. Then the Wolves killed off six

of their seven.

Matt Gagne made 44 saves in the win. The Golden Knightsʼ J.J. Pristanski faced 33 Renfrew shots.

“The kids are making a lot (of) things change this year. I say this because for the first time in 10 years we beat Ottawa West on the road,” coach and general manager Brent Sylvester said.

“With seven minutes to go and a two-goal lead that we eventually surrendered, our kids didnʼt panic, just stuck with the game plan.

“Gagne was solid in goal, making timely big saves,” the coach added.

WOLVES 5, ALMONTE 4 (OT)

Anderson did it again. He converted a Riopelle feed 46 seconds into overtime to complete a hat trick Saturday night in Almonte.

Riopelle and Patrick Dick had other goals for the Wolves. Riopelle and Doner also collected two assists.

Nicolas Hodgins blocked 34 shots in the win. The Wolves fired 32 the

way of Thunder goalkeeper Dominic Plaschy.

The Renfrew powerplay enjoyed a good night, capitalizing on three occasions.

Garrett Nichol clicked for Almonteʼs lone powerplay marker with 2:27 left in the third period to rescue the eventual overtime-loss point for the Thunder.

WOLVES 7, CLARENCE 4

Doner had three goals and defenceman Erik Mask snapped home a pair to pace the Renfrew attack in another tough rink for Wolves teams.

Tanner Smith and Patrick Dick added singles. The Wolves overcame a 3-2 deficit with three goals in a 5:19 span in the middle stanza, and then pulled away by scoring the only two goals of the third period. Doner sealed the verdict with an empty-net tally.

Scott Conroy had three assists and Anderson two. Matt Gagne out-

dualed his Clarence Creek Beavers counterpart, making 27 saves to Erik Plumadoreʼs 29.

“This win caps off a perfect week and the kids are home for some welldeserved rest for their efforts this week”, Sylvester said.

WOLVES HOWLINGS

The Wolves were in last place entering their Oct. 21 game against the Stittsville Royals.

Four wins later, they share top spot with Arnprior. Both teams have 15 points.

A shoulder injury will keep Chris Minns on the sidelines for an estimated three weeks.

A second-period scrap in Clarence Creek marked a first for Wolves rookie Sean Kyte in the junior B loop.

The Wolves have a rematch with Ottawa West at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre Friday at 8 p.m. On Sunday, the Wolves travel to Stittsville for a 2:30 p.m. faceoff with the

scored for the Wolves. Chloe Eady was between the pipes.

HOUSE HOCKEY

Last week saw openinground action in the Senior Menʼs Low Cup as Renfrew hosted the three other teams and took on last yearʼs champions, Pembroke, in morning and afternoon action.

In the morning games the two Renfrew teams were a mirror image of each other as the team of Dave Eady, Dwight Hayward, Rory Mackay and George Burton led by four after three ends and then continued to play solid the rest of the way for a comfortable win.

Rob Warrenʼs team with Don Rouble, Peter Price and Eric Craig fell behind by five after three and all seemed lost until the team rebounded with four in the sixth. Giving up a big deuce in the seventh seemed to seal Renfrewʼs fate as they were down three with an end to play.

But once again the team clawed its way back and left their skip a tough choice for his last rock. Does he play a four foot draw for the tie or play a tricky tap back for a big

four and the win?

Considering who they were playing and knowing Daveʼs crew had already put away their win, Rob played a perfect draw that his sweepers brought in for the well-deserved tie.

After a wonderful lunch prepared and served by our four fabulous ladies, the boys dragged themselves back onto the ice and traded opponents from the morning.

Daveʼs team started fast but then faltered, while Robʼs team continued to deal with inconsistency and both teams found themselves tied after the seventh but without the hammer for the deciding eighth end.

Robʼs team set up the end nicely and forced the Pembroke team into difficult shots which resulted in a well-deserved win, while Daveʼs team left their skip with an impossible situation and there was no magic ending this time.

When the dust settled and all the results tallied, Renfrew came away with their goal met; a nice spread over arch rival, Pembroke, and a narrow lead atop the standings over Arnprior.

Senior Jaguars first, host playoffs Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Both St. Josephʼs Jaguars boys volleyball teams posted wins over the Madawaska Valley District Wolves at the high school gymnasium Oct. 25.

The Senior Jaguars 3-0 triumph earns St. Josephʼs the right to host all their playoff games, thanks to a 9-and-0 record.

The opening round of the playoffs is Tuesday, Nov. 6.

The Renfrew County final runs Thursday, Oct. 8, also be hosted by the Jaguars if they remain in contention.

The Junior Jaguars are in second place with a 5-and-2 mark following a 3-1 win over the Barryʼs Bay school.

The Junior Jaguars split a pair of regular-season decisions on the girls

basketball court last week.

The Jaguars defeated the General Panet Panthers 46-14 Oct. 22 but lost 37-22 to the Arnprior Redmen three days later.

Kathryn David had 17 points in the win and 24 over the two games.

Lindsay Sherman and Jocelyn Virgin also turned in notable efforts for the Jaguars.

“It was a great team effort, particularly on defence,” coach Mark Valliquette said of the win.

The Senior Jaguars had a rare week of two losses, 37-29 to General Panet, and a 56-40 setback to Arnprior.

Shannon Charbonneau and Rebecca MacLaren had eight points apiece against the Panthers. MacLaren added 12 more and Melissa Verch nine versus the Redmen.

The Jaguars and cross-town ri-

val Renfrew Collegiate Raiders met Monday afternoon at RCIʼs Grant Gymnasium.

The Raiders won the junior clash 39-28.

Andrea Martin led the way with 18 points for RCI. Kathryn David answered with 11 for St. Josephʼs.

The Jaguars were 28-22 winners in the senior match.

Rebecca MacLaren drained 10 points for St. Josephʼs.

Carly McHenry notched eight for the Raiders.

Two Jaguars competed at the Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) crosscountry championship in Kingston Oct. 25.

RCIĘźs top performances by midget boys were Jared Leclaire in 22:56; and Austin Jessen in 23:01.

Most of the six runs had well over 100 competitors.

The Raiders and Mackenzie Mustangs locked horns on the football ďŹ eld for a second consecutive season in the Renfrew County semiďŹ nal.

Last year, the Raiders won the playoff game 7-6 in Deep River.

The visitors won again this year, only this time, the game was played at Ma-Te-Way Park.

The Mustangs widened a 14-13 halftime lead with nine points in the fourth quarter en route to a 23-15 win over RCI Friday afternoon.

Time ran out with the Raiders down around the Mackenzie 40-yard line.

Quarterback Cooper Brown had both two major scores in the second quarter for the Senior Raiders, and converted one. RCIĘźs other two points came when the Mustangs conceded a two-point safety a bit over a minute from the end.

Since Mackenzie had to kick off, the decision actually gave the Raiders one last hope.

In an Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association girls basketball battle of unbeaten teams, the Junior Raiders suffered their ďŹ rst loss in seven 2012 regular-season starts, 34-28 to the Arnprior Redmen Oct. 22.

Andrew Martin and Sage Melville led the Raiders with nine points apiece.

The high-ďŹ&#x201A;ying Redmen also remain unbeaten in the senior loop following their 4117 win over the Raiders at the Grant Gymnasium.

Adrianne Guty drained a dozen RCI points.

Sinking of Mayflower 100th anniversary from the boat.

Search parties combed the neighbourhood, but on account of the snowstorm, they passed the island several times at only a short distance, without seeing the signals which, were made and eventually when word of the finding of Parcherʼs body reached Combermere, the small steamer Ruby set out again and brought the survivors to the Hudson Hotel in Combermere after a terrifying night of horror that had burned itself deeply into the minds of those who lived to tell the story.

The victims were: J.C. Hudson, Combermere, Ont., owner and engineer; P. OʼBrien, Combermere, passenger; A. Parcher, Combermere, Ont., pilot; Wm. Boehme, Combermere, passenger; J. Delaney, Barryʼs Bay, fireman; Mrs. McWhirter, Fort Stewart, passenger; George Bothwell, Ottawa, passenger; Wm. Murphy, Rockingham, passenger; and R. Pachal, Yorkton, Sask, passenger.

A dead man saves three lives. Yes, thatʼs exactly what happened about 9 p.m. on the night of Nov. 12, 1912 in Lake Kamaniskeg on the Madawaska River, between Barryʼs Bay and Combermere, when the good ship Mayflower went down.

It was one of those wild nights, pitch dark and a high wind filled with blinding snow. After 30 years, the horror of it all comes back vividly, and it seems like a bad nightmare, but the picture is still too vivid for the survivors even to forget it.

When the Mayflower went down, it carried with it all but four of its passengers, G.C. Peverley, Joseph Harper, J.S. Imlach and P. OʼBrien clung to a coffin containing the body of H. Brown which was brought from Yorkton, Sask. for burial in Combermere.

After three hours in the water, they reached a small island in the centre of the lake on which there was no shelter. Now, however, there were only three survivors as P. OʼBrien died as he was being helped from

the water. The next morning the three survivors found another body on the shore, that of R. Pachal, who had come from Yorkton in charge of the corpse.

Very many people who read this will remember this disaster, as in all, nine persons were drowned, as the Mayflower sank so fast, they did not have time to get out of the cabins and engine room. One of the ironies of fate was A. Parcher, the pilot, attempted to swim to shore and, near his own home, he was found in shallow water, practically with his feet on the bottom, dead, but it was through this that those on the island were rescued. The body of George Bothwell was not recovered until the following April, so altogether many homes in the district were left without sons or fathers.

Troubles never come singly. When they landed, they attempted to light a fire with the aid of a gasoline lighter. It slipped from numbed fingers and was lost in the snow, and no amount of digging around with half-frozen hands could find it until noon the next day, when they managed to get a small fire lighted, but the memory of that bitter cold, fireless night will live in the memory of the survivors. The only fuel was some boxes and driftwood which came ashore

Editor’s note: This story was written by the three survivors: It was submitted by Mae Craig. Jim Brown, whose casket saved three people, was her grandfather Arthur Brown’s brother.

Renfrew Fire Department rebuilding its volunteer ranks recently ďŹ lled by volunteer ďŹ reďŹ ghters, while another 11 potential volunteers were identiďŹ ed during a recruitment program at last monthĘźs Renfrew Fair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of the 11, we have some very good candidates,â&#x20AC;? Fire Chief Guy Longtin told Renfrew council Monday night.

The 11 are over and above the current volunteer contin-

gent of seven, of which only four are available during the day. Including the ďŹ re chief, there are 11 full-time ďŹ reďŹ ghters.

Any new volunteer ďŹ reďŹ ghters also require new gear, says Longtin.

Therefore, the chief asked town council for up to $20,000 to purchase new equipment to outďŹ t the volunteers. The cost

is about $2,800 per person.

But the entire cost would be less, said Longtin, because some gear is available from the ďŹ reďŹ ghters who resigned.

The $20,000 would come from reserves or deferred revenue.

About eight volunteers should be added to the ranks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;WeĘźre hoping to have them ready to respond to calls by

Jan. 1, 2013,â&#x20AC;? said Chief Longtin. The new volunteers

HERITAGE

Your Community Newspaper

1937: increasing trucking problem and molybydenite mine progress THE AUTO FACTORY WILL HELP: Mr. D.S. Coules of Detroit writes as follows: In receiving my subscription to The Mercury allow me to say that I read with pleasure the many items which it contains about the advancement of the old town — particularly with water power, which no doubt is a heavy expenditure for the town at the start, but before long will pay for itself as in other towns and of the increase in population through the industries locating there, one of these being an auto industry, which no doubt will add in population and bring good returns as in other towns and cities.

For instance the town of Windsor on the border, has increased 30 per cent, during the past three years, this being particularly due to the auto industry. It how has a population close to twenty thousand.

Many of Detroitʼs foremost plants are locating branches there, while many of the other plants are busy extending their buildings, which goes to show that the auto industry is one of the many investments which bring good returns to the investor and to the town at large.

THE POWER PLANT STARTS: On Friday morning of this week the town will start to deliver power to customers.

The Renfrew Electric Co. will

OLGA LEWIS FROM THE OLD FILES be the first to get the electric “juice” and will distribute it to the light and power users. The mills on the north side have not the electric in but will pay the town for the waterpower they

use after the 1st. The Filter Companyʼs representative has his filter all complete except for the filling sand, which was to be down from Golden Lake on Thursday. Engineer Stewart expects to start pumping for the waterworks in a day or two after that.

OCTOBER 28, 1937

PHOENIX MINE NEAR RENFREW PROGRESSING: The special mining columnist of the Toronto Globe and Mail had the following comment to make regarding the Molybydenite mine out Pucker Street way. Good ore has been encountered in an 18-foot test pit put down on a new location known as

the “crossing” on property of Phoenix Molybydenite Corp. near Renfrew, Ont. Test pit is three compartment size and is being continued. Vein width ranges to 25 feet, but length is undetermined. In the hanging wall of stope 102 on the first level in the main workings, good supply of ore is being broken down.

TRUCKING PROBLEM ON THE INCREASE: On Tuesday there was parked on Raglan Street at a busy intersection a truck and trailer covering 51 feet in length. This outfit had 14 wheels. On the day previous a truck and trailer laden with farm produce which was altogether to wide, too high, too long and too speedy went through. In the same week a truck so heavily-laden that it shook the foundations of the buildings was noticed.

The eagerness of truckers both privately owned and traders trucks to put small freight trains on the streets and highways is increasing the problem of all municipalities.

MERCHANTS SUPPORT SHOPPING CENTRE?: The retail merchants association supports town councilʼs Oct. 25 decision to build a shopping centre in Renfrew, but they plan to continue their commitment of beautifying the downtown core. In a press release received this week from the Association, the merchants expressed their appreciation for the support they received for their downtown mall proposal. However, the general consensus was that the merchants association should respect councilʼs decision and help them take the best course of action for Renfrew.

EDUCATION

Welcome back, Renfrew Collegiate Raiders Senior RCI student

Welcome back to the 20122013 school year RCI Raiders!

Renfrew Collegiate Institute was privileged to have two inspiring guest speakers in the first week of October.

We had a guest speaker from Free the Children who told the students her inspiring story of how she got involved with this organization and how she is slowly making life better for many others in poor countries.

She shared details of her journey to Kenya last March Break with students from RCI who went along to help build a school in a local community in Kenya.

Kids Corp’s exciting weekly themes Barb Walters Kids Corp

Kids Corp will be running some exciting weekly themes over the month of October.

Join us for our exciting theme weeks and activities. If you are a parent, grandparent or caregiver please join us.

This is an excellent opportunity for adults and children to participate in activities geared towards developing and enhancing early learning from birth to school age. Babies are welcome.

The second guest speaker we had was Stuntman Stu who paid a visit to RCI to share his No More Bullies campaign.

He made a lasting impression on the students, sharing inspiring stories about people who have overcome bullying and those who have unfortunately not.

He brought along his own guest speakers to share their personal stories about how they were affected by bullying.

He also shared his own personal stories about how he was bullied and how it did not stop him from moving on and being successful in his life.

This subject could easily be related to the students in some way.

SPORTS

RCI is in full swing with its fall sports with all teams running.

Teams have had a great start to junior and senior football, senior boysʼ volleyball, girlsʼ basketball and cross country.

RCI also had the pleasure of hosting cross-country county championships at Ma-TeWay. WE DAY

AT VICTORIA HOSPITAL, BUDGET TROUBLES: The Renfrew Victoria Hospital is having problems living up to its ministry budget said hospital administrator Russell MacKenzie.

With six months left in a 15-month Ministry of Health formulated budget, the hospital has spent about $14,467 more than the budgeted amount of $2,147,895. According to a finance report presented to the

hospital board at this regular meeting Thursday, the problem is due to a decrease in revenue.

Mr. MacKenzie has written to the ministry informing them of the situation, but he told board members that he hasnʼt yet received an answer to his letter.

Olga Lewis is available to help with research at Heritage Renfrew. Email olewis@sympatico.ca

Corrections: Vaile’s Nails The story on Sandra Vaileʼs new Renfrew business, Vaileʼs Nails, contained errors in the last paragraph.

Vaileʼs Nails is located at Terrie-Lynn Coulasʼs Santerrie Hair Salon, not Santerrie Hair Design.

IN MEMORIAM RECKENBERG, Roger In memory of our Dad, Roger Reckenberg, who passed away October 31, 2010.

It just seems like yesterday we use to talk and play, But now your in a safer better place where you lay, We hope where you are is hunting heaven, That everyday is cloud seven, I know we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always see eye to eye, But we truly loved you, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no lie, We would give anything for just one more day, Whatever the price we would pay, You taught us well and you will be proud of the men weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be, But memories never fade they flow like the sea.

We love you Dad and always will, Love Dwayne, Brent and Jonathan

RECKENBERG, Roger In memory of Roger Reckenberg our loving son who passed away October 31, 2010.

He is gone but not forgotten; And as dawns another year; In our lonely hours of thinking; Thoughts of him are always near.

Days of sadness will come oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;er us; Friends may think the would is healed; But they little know the sorrow; That lies within the heart concealed.

Always remembered, Love Mom and Dad

Cody was a dog that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand love or trust in being rescued through fear ran away.

After 7 weeks in the cold and unfamiliar countryside Cody the miniature Australian Shepherd finally found a place where he could feel safe. The unbelievable reality though is that he bonded deeply with Roxie the lab who hates all other dogs.

Lauren Atkins and Kaelyn McGrimmon, 11 years old and best friends for years are known for rescuing animals.

Their calm and peaceful approach allowed Cody to take food from them. Cody was trusting enough to stay with Roxie to sleep.

The girls were aware Cody was a missing dog and smart enough to keep him safe for the weekend and find the person who would take him to the vet. Cody had Lyme disease and a dislocated hip but now is on the mend thanks to these quick thinking girls.

Everyone in Renfrew had been helpful and delicate in calling tips or Cody sightings. These girls had the magic of getting near him.

Lauren is donating her reward money to the Humane Society and Kaelyn is donating hers to Hospice.

The magic continuesâ&#x20AC;Ś CL389483

It is with much sadness that we announce the passing of George Laughlin Craig on October 26, 2012. George was born in Kinburn, Ontario on June 16, 1922 and was raised on the family farm in nearby Fitzroy Harbour.

George is predeceased by his father Richard, mother Sadie, sisters Valerie, Bertha, and his brother Oswald. George left home at the age of 18 and joined the Royal Canadian Air Force. He became a pilot, and thus began his long and rewarding career in aviation.

Beginning in St. Eugene, Ontario, he started on the Fleet Finch then went on to Summerside P.E.I. to train on Harvards, where he received his Wings on September 25, 1941. Overseas, George spent 2 years on the Isle of Man in Training Command, flying new gunners, navigators and bomb aimers arriving from all over the world.

George then completed his 4 engine conversion at Operational Training Unit and was assigned to 6 Group Bomber Command, 424 Squadron, Skipton-On-Swale, Yorkshire. George completed 34 operational trips, all on the Halifax. He remained in close personal contact with all his crew members as the years rolled by. At the age of 22 George was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. In January 1945 George returned to Canada and remained with the R.C.A.F. until January 1946. His next adventure was with his brother Oswald. They purchased a diamond drill and headed to Kirkland Lake, Ontario to try their hand at underground mining.

George was with the Aerial Survey Division and in 1948 flew one of 4 Lockheed Hudsons to Venezuela, where he met and married Patricia, the love of his life. They began their married life in Edmonton before moving to Montreal where George became, Chief Pilot, C.P.A. Eastern Operations.

He maintained his farm in Fitzroy Harbour and built his herd of Aberdeen Angus cattle.

These were his â&#x20AC;&#x153;rootsâ&#x20AC;?, always visiting his relatives and friends in the Ottawa Valley. The family moved west in 1963, settling in Richmond B.C., George retired from C.P. Air in 1982 as Captain on the 747. Upon retiring, Dad continued to enjoy hockey, camping and fishing. Dad was a devoted son, husband, father, grandfather and uncle. He is survived by, and will be forever loved and missed by Pat, his wife of 64 years, his four children Janet (John), Richard, Marilyn (Mark), and Bob (Vicki). Dad will always be loved and remembered as a wonderful grandfather by his 5 grandchildren, Michael (Cassie), Graham (Liz), Glenn (Lorelei), Lindsay and Trevor.

We wish to thank Belinda, Josephine and the staff of the Richmond General Hospital for all their care and support. A celebration of Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held at St. Anneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church, 4071 Francis Road, Richmond B.C. Friday November 2nd at 2 pm. In lieu of flowers the family requests memorial donations be made to The Canadian Diabetes Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wishing You All You Wish Forâ&#x20AC;?

Jaguar Hunt: popular, anticipated Abby Hall Jaguar Journal

This week marks the end of another busy and productive month at St. Josephʼs. Itʼs hard to believe that almost two months have passed since the start of school!

Parent-teacher interviews were well attended, and all of the good news was shared.

Thanks to everyone who came out!

The jazz band has concluded their citrus sales for the year. Orders should arrive near the end of November.

Customers will be contacted when the oranges and grapefruits are ready to be picked up! Your continuing support of the music program is much appreciated!

The middle of the semester is quickly approaching. Term one officially ends Nov. 9 and report cards go home midNovember.

On Nov. 1 and 2, the Dominican Republic team is attending a retreat in preparation for the upcoming mission trip next year. The retreat will be held at the Sisters House in Pembroke, so that DR team

members from both St. Joeʼs and Bishop Smith can get to know each other.

The student council has been planning numerous events for the upcoming months. Beginning in early November, students should be watching their backs!

The annual Jag Hunt is a popular and anticipated event every year.

Students and teachers are put in pairs and must “hunt” their assigned partner, without getting caught themselves. To catch the other person and advance to the next round, you

must tag them with a clothespin.

SOFT-SOLED SHOES

This quest for glory is taken very seriously by many, and tricks of the trade are often passed down from the senior students. Strategy, secret alliances and soft-soled shoes are crucial to success. Let the hunt begin!

The winter semi-formal dance is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 7. Shine your shoes, comb your hair, and weʼll see you there!

Boo!-tiful home Halloween treats came early to Patty Edwards’ Grade 7 class from RCIS. On Monday, evening, Oct. 29 Susan Wilson and Brent Carson graciously opened their tastefully Halloween decorated home to the class, including their friends, siblings and parents. From left, front row, Susan Wilson, Patty Edwards and Brent Carson, and on stairs, Emily and Caileigh Anderson, Paula McDonald, Beth McDonald, Moira Friske, Cassidy Friske, Ben Shields, Shawn Friske, Melissa Friske and Shohanna Watson. The evening began by making a donation of canned food to the Renfrew and Area Food Bank. Following that, the students and families went from room to room, repeatedly wowed by the owners’ incredible knack of spooky decorating. All in all, close to 60 people toured the Kedrosky Drive home that evening. “It was a fun-filled night for the students where one thoughtful gesture triggered another thoughtful gesture in order to support those that are less fortunate,” Edwards said.
