County backs call to accelerate Hwy. 417 extension

Inside NEWS

Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Renfrew County councillors and staff were wondering if the extension of Highway 417 past Arnprior was going to take forever.

More recently, that project’s next phase, which takes it north of Arnprior, is part of the current provincial highway construction’s five-year plan.

That next phase, though, only takes the highway a few kilometres north of Arnprior, so the county feels an urgency to push for follow-up on the very next phase, which will extend Highway 417 to O’Brien Road in Renfrew.

Consequently, county officials hope economic data could help push for the expansion of the four-lane highway, where now there are just two lanes, well past Renfrew.

About two years ago, then Ontario Transportation Minister Bob Chiarelli told Renfrew County officials that he wanted to see an economic business case for why the highway should be extended. He said arguments about the need for increased safety wasn’t enough to justify expediting the project.

Many healthcare initiatives here or coming, says CEO

of economic development.

As the president of a company that has 2,900 employees, Walker writes about increased safety and stronger financial links that would be forged between the county and the national capital region with the expansion of Highway 417.

The county asks that the continued extension of Highway 417 remain a key priority in Ontario’s five-year capital works program.

The county also asks for a “predictable multi-year program to fund the planning and implementation of environmental assessment updates, property acquisition and budget allocations� for 417’s continued extension through the county.

The report says the highway needs to be extended to promote economic growth, enhance tourism, sustain communities, enhance safety and improve traffic flows.

The report goes on to argue how four communities (two within Renfrew County and two nearby) have benefitted from extensions of four-lane, restricted-access highways.

The communities were North Grenville, Carleton Place, Arnprior and Renfrew, following recent extensions of highways 416, 7 or 417.

For example, the report cites growth in Arnprior residential development after the province’s 2002 announce-

ment to extend Highway 417 to Arnprior. The report also references Renfrew’s declining population from 1996 to 2006, and subsequent regrowth after Highway 417 reached Arnprior in 2006.

The report’s many other findings include: 1) the county’s investment sector can’t compete with other regions served by a four-lane highway, 2) major employers have difficulty attracting professionals due to perceptions about Hwy. 17 safety concerns, and 3) without railway service, the county now relies wholly on the highway system to move people and goods.

County councillors applauding the report included Janice Visneskie of Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards. “We’ve been fighting this fight for many, many years,� said Visneskie. “It truly is a wonderful document, and surely they (the provincial government) have to sit up and listen.�

Moreau said building Hwy. 417 to Renfrew will also optimize use of the other important provincial highway investments, such as highways 60, 132, 41 and 416, that take drivers into central Ontario. “You build it to Renfrew, you will access all the other provincial infrastructure that you already sank a lot of money into,� said Moreau to applause from county council.

News - Champlain Local Health Integration Networks CEO Chantale LeClerc addressed Renfrew County council Oct. 31 to help members understand how Renfrew County communities can benefit from, and facilitate, LHIN’s operations.

Champlain LHIN and 13 other not-for-profit LHINS fund about half of Ontario’s annual healthcare budget of about $42 billion.

About 70 per cent of LHINs’ funding goes to hospitals, while the remainder is allocated for such areas as community care access centres, community support services, mental health and addictions services, and long-term care homes. This decentralized funding system has been in place since 2005.

Programs not funded by the LHINs include Ontario Health Insurance Program-funded services (including physician fees), as well as paramedic services, laboratory services, capital investments for hospitals and provincial drug programs.

The Champlain LHIN

Hwy. 417 Continued from front

Transportation Minister Glen Murray, who has since succeeded Chiarelli, heard the county’s Oct. 22 presentation of that business case report.

The county delegation to Queen’s Park consisted of Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon, engineering director Dave Darch, property and development director Paul Moreau, county councillor and former warden Bob Sweet of Petawawa, operations committee chairman Walter Stack, and CAO Jim Hutton.

The report, entitled Business Case for the Accelerated Expansion of Highway 417, was positively received, Moreau told the Oct. 31 gathering of county council.

The 25-page document was prepared by the County of Renfrew and the Ottawa firm of McSweeney and Associates following an online survey and three focus groups with several dozen participants.

These included members of such economic sectors as tourism, forestry, agriculture and nuclear technology, and elected officials.

The report finishes with a two-page letter from Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. president R.S. Walker to Alastair Baird, the county’s manager

tion “a very exciting program� that allows patients to connect with specialists without having to leave the region. “Forty per cent of the time, the patient never has to see the specialist (in person because of teleconferencing capabilities),� she said.

Regarding the orthopedic program, LeClerc said Champlain LHIN hopes to bring such a program to the Pembroke Regional Hospital in the near future for knee and hip surgeries.

Whether implementing a new program or a new service, or changing the way Champlain LHIN delivers healthcare services today, LeClerc said the local LHIN’s three major aims are to improve: 1) people’s health, 2) personal

experiences with the health system and 3) performance of the healthcare system.

Performance, said Leclerc, covers such areas as finances, efficiencies, accountability and accessibility.

An initiative not yet started in Renfrew County is Health Links.

Under that program, primary healthcare providers, such as doctors, specialists and nurse practitioners, “will come together to identify who the people are in the community that have the highest needs for healthcare services,� said LeClerc. “The idea is that by targeting this small number of the population – we’re talking one to five per cent of the population who consume up to 40,

and sometimes 60, per cent of the healthcare dollars. “So by changing how we deliver healthcare to that group of individuals, we can actually get some savings that can be reinvested into the healthcare system, to sustain our system and the growing demands for it.�

Also, Health Links will be established for north and south regions of Renfrew County.

The south one, said LeClerc, has just had its readiness assessment approved.

When completed, there should be 10 links across Champlain LHIN, although LeClerc said there’s no reason Renfrew County’s northern and southern Health Links couldn’t work together in the near future.

Communication hiccup for local LHIN? Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

region extends from Deux Rivières and Algonquin Park to Ottawa and the south side of the Ottawa River where it meets the Quebec border. The local LHIN has funding responsibility for 20 hospitals.

Champlain LHIN’s executive director spent some time speaking about numerous funding initiatives in Renfrew County. A few of them were assisted living for high-risk seniors, intensive case management for youth with mentalhealth issues, supportive hous-

ing for people with addictions, exercise and falls-prevention classes, eConsulation, and a regional orthopedic program.

The assisted living program for seniors, which LeClerc says was pioneered in Deep River, can include visits by a personal support worker and community paramedics. “Sometimes that’s help with a meal, sometimes it’s checking in, sometimes that’s accompanying them to a medical appointment, sometimes it’s help putting up the Christmas tree, whatever it takes to help the person to be able to stay at home,â€? said LeClerc. “The beauty of this program is that when other services are closed down, they can still ‌ respond in a short time and come and see what your needs are.â€?

Variations of this concept, which include a travelling service or assistance in apartment buildings where several seniors live, are located in Eganville, Deep River, Barry’s Bay, Killaloe, Pembroke and Renfrew. “There are about 500 places across the Champlain region and we’d like to have more,� said LeClerc.

Five-year landfill contract to Beaumen Waste Management steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Renfrew council chambers was packed, with about 25 employees from Beaumen Waste Management, to hear if their company’s bid to provide a waste-reduction program at the Renfrew landfill site would be accepted.

The group applauded enthusiastically, at the Oct. 28 council meeting, after council voted unanimously to accept Beaumen’s request for proposal (RFP), which was being compared with two other RFPs. Development and works director Mike Asselin said the town’s three options – the status quo (paying a couple of contractors to oversee the program), internalization (town staff doing the diversion that included buying $400,000 in compactor equipment) and choosing the best RFP. The three RFPs ranged in price per first year of $198,332 to more than $350,000. The other bidders were Tomlinson and Barron Disposal.

The lowest bid came from Renfrew-based Beaumen Waste Management, which is partnering with Lafleche Environmental Inc. of Moose Creek, Ont. Beaumen’s annual fee rises from $198,332 in the first year to $216,162 in the fifth year.

Incorporated in 1997, Lafleche offers solid waste services to commercial, industrial, institutional and residential sectors of eastern Ontario. Lafleche operates a large bioreactor, a 120,000-metric ton compost facility and four transfer stations in Ontario.

Renfrew-based Beaumen, which does garbage pickup and recycling for area municipalities, has about 30 staff, including Andrew Shouldice, who became the company’s new owner since April 2013.

Beaumen will handle the waste-management program under the auspices of the town. “We’re very pleased that we’ve been awarded the contract,� said Shouldice. “We’re going to work with the town in detail to extend the life (of the landfill) as long as possible, and we’re looking forward to providing the service to the community. “We’re also very pleased to bring back Friday service, because it’s been an issue for us and we use the landfill a lot.�

The Beaumen owner says the contract is big because, “as a local company we’re looking to bring back into Renfrew and get back into the landfill management business, because Beau- Development and works director Mike Asselin, left, summarizes waste management men did landfill business under the previous Requests for Proposal (RFP) for the Renfrew landfill site.

to support Beaumen’s five-year RFP.

Manor employees and retirees share spotlight Rankin was host to this year’s annual Renfrew County employee recognition and retirement banquet.

The banquet, which took place at the Rankin Culture and Recreation Centre Oct. 24, was for recognizing 58 county employees (who have 10 to 40 years of service) and 18 retirees.

Employees honoured included a small number who have served 30 years or more — namely Beverley Eady at Bonnechere Manor, Ann Mulligan and Karen McManus at Miramichi Lodge, and Karen McManus in the county’s social services department.

Of the 18 employees, eight were from Bonnechere Manor in Renfrew — Cathy Bilson, Emily Bishop, Sherry Cruise, Brian Dolan, Frances Graves, Kathy Kenopic, Elizabeth McHale and Violet Rossy.

Rossy retired as director of patient care last June. Her successor, who started at Bonnechere Manor recently, is Shelley Mantha.

Emon said the county group, which was chaired by county councillor Janice Visneskie of Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards, used to meet with Champlain LHIN maybe four times a year to offer innovative suggestions about local healthcare issues. “It’s worrisome that that’s no longer there,� said Emon, who wondered if that link could be re-established.

LeClerc said Emon was referring to the community care advisory forums. “Some were more successful than others, and this one (in Renfrew County) was quite active and quite

engaged with us,� said LeClerc. “We are in the process of reviewing what structures we need to be able to connect with the various communities. “I don’t have an answer right now, but it is something we’re looking into.

And we’re very cognizant that we want to be able to have an ongoing dialogue, not just every three years when we develop our strategic plan.�

LeClerc added: “I hope to be able to answer your question soon about what that could look like.�

Emon responded by saying there would be follow-up correspondence about Renfrew County “reestablishing a closer relationship� with Champlain LHIN.

Pool plebiscite on 2014 ballot?

Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Opinions varied significantly in Renfrew council discussion Oct. 28 about whether or not to include an indoor pool plebiscite on the October 2014 municipal election ballot.

Earlier this year, council decided to not proceed with an indoor pool, largely because of high operating costs and the absence of provincial and federal grants.

Later in the year, council initiated plans for an outdoor pool, but support for the $1.5 million project ran out of steam. “We know we can’t afford the big one, and nobody wants the little one, so why are we going to open up (the) issue,â€? said Reeve Audrey Green, noting the town can’t afford the multimillion-dollar bigger facility. “The only fair way to deal with the situation is to hold a plebiscite ‌Why not let that be voted on, and put it to bed,â€? said Coun. Tom Anderson.

Coun. Clint McWhirter also offered his assessment of a potential community vote. “I like the idea of having everybody weigh

Landfill Continued from page 3

Beaumen, which has about 26 employees, will have two full-time employees, management personnel and two or three part-time staff working on the Renfrew landfill contract.

The contract will be co-ordinated with Lafleche, whose president Brian King, attended Monday’s meeting. “We’re very excited and proud that Andrew asked us to provide the quality control and quality assurance,� said King. “As far as the landfill operation is concerned, we have full confidence in Andrew and his team that they’ll do a great job. We’ve inspected the

in on it, because, as we have learned in the last few years, there are a lot of people who aren’t in favour of either (the indoor or outdoor pool) that never say anything,� said McWhirter. “It would be nice to have that (plebiscite), but at the same time I’d work towards what they want, but I don’t want to open up the bankbook.

I’m kind of a little leery just how far you go with that ‌ I’m kind of in favour (of a plebiscite). I can be pushed over the edge.�

If a plebiscite supported building an indoor pool, the town wouldn’t be over its required debt ceiling if it raised taxes 10 per cent and sought the other necessary funds from government grants and fundraising, said Anderson. “I would work toward that, if that was the will of the electorate,� added Anderson.

McWhirter wondered if a ‘yes’ vote meant the town was obligated to build something that the town couldn’t afford.

In pushing for a plebiscite, Anderson wondered out loud, “I don’t know what everyone is afraid of.� “I’m not afraid, it’s just useless to do that,� replied Green.

See POOL, page 5

landfill site and I think there’s some great opportunities we can use to maybe improve maintenance and operation of the landfill.�

Prior to council’s vote, Asselin said the recommendation to accept Beaumen’s RFP is part of the town’s ongoing efforts to increase the landfill site’s life expectancy. “The town has been working to reduce the volume of material going into the landfill site,� said Asselin, who referred to several examples.

These included changes that went into effect in 2012, like reducing the number of garbage bags for commercial and residential users, charging landfill tipping fees based on weight instead of volume, providing educational material, retaining part-time staff

for monitoring, and charging extra for mixed loads of waste at a cost of $150 per tonne.

These new moves have helped increase the landfill site’s lifespan from 11 to 18 years, but with this new arrangement Asselin said the town’s hopeful even more capacity can be found.

Support of the RFP also results in cost savings for the town, which planned to purchase garbage-compactor equipment for $400,000. Now Beaumen will use its own equipment and also be responsible for repairs.

The new arrangement also means the town will give notice to two contractors working at the landfill. Those contracts will end Feb. 1 2014, with Beaumen officially starting Feb. 2, 2014.

Bulmer noted that all evotes were tabulated within 10 minutes of the polls closing. In News - Times are changing, but not contrast, paper results weren’t quickly enough to end the time-hon- available for two hours. “I’m conďŹ dent in my elecoured tradition of paper ballots for municipal elections. At least not in the Town of Renfrew.

After discussion among senior staff, council members and clerk Kim Bulmer, it was agreed a motion will come forward to council, likely Nov. 25, to approve a hybrid voting system for the October 2014 election.

The number of people using socalled electronic ballots is on the increase after Renfrew used alternative methods, i.e., Internet and telephone voting, for the 2010 municipal election.

Voter turnout was 52.2 per cent, up from about 46 per cent for the previous election. Of the 3,200 voters in 2010, Bulmer says 60 per cent were e-voters for Renfrew’s ďŹ rst municipal election using the electronic method. The other 40 per cent used paper ballots.

During its Oct. 28 meeting, council entertained eliminating paper ballots, but there was no strong appetite for their elimination. But there are indications that the atmosphere could be ripe for an all e-voting election as soon as 2018.

While no council member jumped at the opportunity to eliminate paper ballots, Coun. Gail Cole said, “As long as we offer the paper, people will use it.�

Telling people they can’t use paper ballots, said Mayor Bill Ringrose, “will go over like a lead balloon.�

What’s expected to change, however, is the number of hours for advance polls. Clerk Bulmer said there were 61 hours of voting available at the town hall, including voting from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on election day and another 51 hours.

Bulmer told The Mercury that total of 61 hours could be reduced to about 40.

The cost to implement e-voting in 2010 was $18,000, but Bulmer said, “Election costs were similar to the previous election.�

“What is the problem with asking the question,� countered Anderson. “Because if the majority of the people of Renfrew say build the pool, we do not have the money to build a pool,� answered Green.

Clerk Kim Bulmer says a plebiscite has to be a clear, concise and neutral question. Also, the answer must be acted on, if there’s a voter turnout of at least 50 per cent.

A yes vote would be binding, said Bulmer, who told council the “municipality must do everything in its power to implement the result of the question in a timely manner.�

The plebiscite issue is scheduled to be on town council’s Nov. 12 agenda.

At the Oct. 28 council meeting, Mayor Ringrose said he will draft a motion that says the 2014 election ballot will include a plebiscite on the pool that is linked to taxpayer costs.

News - Greater Madawaska land use planner Marko Cekic is reviewing the options available to the township in regards to a building located behind Barnet Cottage in Calabogie.

Concerns were raised by the Barnet Park Committee and forwarded to Coun. Brian Hunt.

The building is in disrepair, and may be a hazard to the township, Cekic reported.

The Barnet Park Committee suggested a fence may be erected around the building, or the building be demolished.

Knocking the building down and holding the area for future use has also been considered.

Cekic will report back to committee of the whole in December.

WINTER MAINTENANCE

Greater Madawaska received a letter from a property owner in Septem-

ber asking the municipality to provide winter maintenance on Kennelly Mountain Road from Centennial Lake Road, in about 1.5 kilometres to their residence on Kennelly Mountain Road.

It has become the couple’s permanent residence.

Kennelly Road is considered a Class 6 Road. Class 6 roads take on fewer than 50 vehicles per day on average. As a result, the road is normally not plowed.

In the past, the township has granted the request in the case when a resident moves in year-round, public works manager Jamie Doering noted to committee of the whole Oct. 8.

Council gave the okay to plow the 1.5-kilometre stretch throughout the winter.

A letter will be sent to the residents notifying them that it is a Class 6 Road, and what the maintenance standards are.

The cost for plowing the road throughout the winter will cost the township about $1,000.

OPINION

EDITORIAL

Respect remembrance Opinion - Is nothing sacred anymore?

There was a time when the memory of those who died in war was treated with distinct respect and non-partisanship.

The Canadians who have died in service to their nation come from a broad range of backgrounds and beliefs.

And military service has always been viewed as especially honourable because it represents protection for all Canadians.

So it was with great disappointment that we received a press release last week that used Remembrance Day as a time for political jabs.

If a party or politician so chooses, there is a full calendar year to play politics with tragedy.

This is not the time. Lives lost in war are not something to be used in such a crass way.

It is appropriate to pay tribute but the line was clearly crossed last Thursday when MP Cheryl Gallant stood in the House of Commons and closed her address with the tacky conclusion: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come next election, WE WILL REMEMBER.â&#x20AC;?

And earlier in her address, she opened another tired attack with the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lest we forget.â&#x20AC;?

We believe those are three precious words that

should never be politicized. The full text of her public address to the nation is elsewhere in this paper, clearly identified as a press release.

With full respect for the freedoms we enjoy because of the sacrifices of our military, we leave it to our readers to judge the appropriateness of this new tone of political discourse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By forcing our soldiers onto roads mined with bombs and improvised explosive devices, precious Canadian blood was spilt,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Sending soldiers to war leaves spilt blood on the hands of every government, and elected officials should be far more diligent and respectful our of military sons and daughters and their families before sending them into harmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way.

It is also important to tell Canadians the full story. The lessons of our failures are just as important as touting our success if we really want to prevent unnecessary bloodshed.

The song blaring over the hall sound system as the federal Conservative convention closed Saturday was eerily apt.

Chris Isaak was singing his hit, Wicked Game, that includes the line, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strange what desire will make foolish people do.â&#x20AC;?

Strange, indeed. And wicked.

Renfrew town council ponders Renfrew kind to visitors new ways to spend our money LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To the editor: Opinion - Renfrew continues to be a nice place for visitors.

We live in Barryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay and came to Renfrew to take in a movie last Wednesday night. To our dismay, we found that we had a flat tire when we returned to our car afterwards.

As we stood looking at the tire, a man who had also attended the movie crossed the street to see if we needed help.

He directed us to a parking lot around the corner and the two of us set to work to change the tire. It actually wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a surprise that the man refused to take any money, and simply said to return such a favour by helping someone else.

We applaud that notion since it does so much to improve relations among people.

This was a big help to us as we had to drive back to Barryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay so we would like to publicly thank Richard Laxton for going out of his way, and getting his hands dirty at the same time, to be so helpful towards strangers late at night. Much appreciated!

Yours truly, Bob and Cathie Corrigan Barryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay P.S. While weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at it, we would just like to say that we always pick up a copy of The Renfrew Mercury when we pass through town, and enjoy reading what former Barryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay reporter Steve Newman has to say.

To the editor: Opinion - Re: Council ponders CIP to revitalize town, October 31, 2013.

So I see that Renfrew Town Council has been hard at it again, trying to come up with new and innovative ways to spend money they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have.

Their latest idea, the CIP or Community Improvement Plan will subsidize businesses through grants and waiving development fees.

There are many problems with this approach but the biggest one is that the Town of Renfrew doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the money to run such a program.

The town owes millions of dollars and is paying hundreds of thousands

Leave our tax dollars alone

8 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, November 7, 2013

To the editor: Opinion - This in answer to the Community Improvement Plan (CIP). This is ridiculous. No taxpayer money for private enterprise. They should do their own investment and leave our tax money for the town upkeep. We have already enough to do to pay our debts,

I have calculated the interest payments for this year using figures provided by the town treasurer.

It adds up to more than $400,000.

That is a lot of money, at least it is to me.

Instead of paying down the accumulated debt and improving the basic infrastructure (roads, sidewalks, sewer and water pipes, etc.) council proposes to borrow more money to give out to certain special interests.

As for the survey that Mike Asselin says is very important, there is no place to make any comments.

People can only pick the areas of highest and lowest priority, so everything is good, just some are bet-

People of Renfrew, vote against this bill and leave our tax money alone. This is against the present law. Keep it that way!

This council was not elected to pick winners and losers, which is what they propose to do by subsidizing some businesses and individuals and not others.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Remembering courage and victory To the editor: Opinion - Ever since the end of World War II in May 1945 thousands of stories have been written about the â&#x20AC;&#x153;battlesâ&#x20AC;? that took place during the period of 1939 to 1945.

Many of the so-called smaller battles are only now beginning to surface.

It was late in the summer of 1984, while my wife and I were visiting the Netherlands that we came upon such a place. We were visiting my fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister and her husband, in the town of Kollum in the northern province of Friesland. On the northern edge of the town we came upon a beautiful monument. It depicted a man with a child. We took some pictures which I put in an album and did not give much more thought to what we had seen.

About a month ago I received a letter from a childhood friend with pictures giving the whole story of what took place in April of 1945, just a few weeks before the end of the war and explaining the â&#x20AC;&#x153;whyâ&#x20AC;? of the monument.

The inscription read: â&#x20AC;&#x153;In memory of Heine De Bruin - Jacob Graas - Pieter Postma - Gerrit Bleeker.

They fought as Friesians for Liberty Truth and Justice. In liberation of the fatherland 1940-945.â&#x20AC;?

These young Dutchmen gave their lives in defence of the main bridge,

just north of the town. Some remnants of the German army were intent on destroying the bridge. The Canadian army was advancing toward the town and the bridge had to be saved in order for the long awaited Canadians to continue their advance northeast, liberating village upon village to ďŹ nally cross the borders into Germany. No one at the time knew that the war would be over in less than three weeks.

In May of 1995, my wife and I spent some more time in the northern part of Holland. My father was born in this part of the country and his father before him.

As a young boy I listened to my father telling me the stories about his own childhood. Back in those days it was mixed farming. When we were there in 1995 we saw tulips in full bloom as far as the eye could see. The land is ďŹ&#x201A;at, ďŹ&#x201A;atter than anyone living in Canada could comprehend. One day we stood at a certain place and counted 10 church steeples representing the various villages and over forty huge barns.

As we drove from one village to another, school children were busy decorating the streets, there were hundreds of signs saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you Canada, Thank you Canadian liberators.â&#x20AC;? There were Canadian ďŹ&#x201A;ags everywhere. At one point when the children discovered we were Cana-

dian, they stormed our car.

One of the most touching moments of our trip was when we entered the town of Kollum. Every building was decorated.

The main street was alive with the sounds of laughing people and music. A lot of musicians were dressed in â&#x20AC;&#x153;western styleâ&#x20AC;? clothing. When I spoke to some of them, they told me they came from across the German border to be part of the celebrations.

One man told me, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were as much in need of liberation as the rest of the world.â&#x20AC;?

When the human spirit truly embraces the principle of mercy and forgiveness, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the miracle of reconciliation can take place.â&#x20AC;?

For many years in our beautiful Canada, old foes are living side by side as neighbors in harmony.

One of the most touching letters I ever received was from an old U.S. paratrooper who fought in WWII. His three sons all married German girls while stationed in Germany; they were all daughters of German soldiers who fought in World War II. Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution in the liberation of my country of birth will never be forgotten, thousands of young Canadians gave their lives for our freedom.

We will remember them.

Thank You from the Energy East Pipeline project team

Energy East Pipeline

Recently, TransCanada visited Horton to discuss our newly proposed Energy East Pipeline project with local community members.

Our experts listened as community residents shared their thoughts on a number of topics about the project, including questions around how TransCanada safeguards its pipeline system to how it protects rivers and environmentally sensitive areas along the project route.

I’d like to first say thank you to those who joined us at our event. The feedback we receive from each person at these open houses is gathered, recorded and considered as we work toward the planning of the pipeline. It’s an essential part of our engagement process and something we take very seriously.

TransCanada has one of the best records in the industry for delivering energy safely and efficiently across North America. In 2012 alone, we spent $1 billion on proactive maintenance programs to protect our pipelines. It’s these types of commitments that ensure our projects are developed in the safest and most socially responsible manner possible, and Energy East will be no exception.

Special measures will be used when crossing rivers and other sensitive areas to help further protect the environment. Some of these include adding thicker-walled pipe and placing extra sensors and valve systems closer together in these important areas. We will also monitor the pipeline 24 hours a day with the ability to remotely shut it down within minutes anywhere along the route, and will place specialized equipment and field crews along the entire project to monitor, maintain and respond immediately if needed.

Pipelines are the safest way to transport oil across North America and our oil pipelines are among the newest and safest ever built. I’ve been in this industry for over 30 years so I can tell you firsthand that no one has a stronger interest in the protection of TransCanada’s pipelines than we do. That’s why we continuously adopt new technologies and new programs to improve our systems every day.

Thank you once again for hosting us in your community and sharing your thoughts. Our events are designed to ensure we achieve one important goal: to communicate one-on-one with each individual who attends our open houses. We appreciate your hospitality and look forward to meeting with you again very soon. For more information about our project, please visit us at www.EnergyEastPipeline.com Sincerely,

Steve Pohlod President Energy East Pipeline Project

Robert B. Postma

Community - In a few days, November 11 will once again be upon us.

For the past 95 years we have remembered on this particular day “the laying down of arms,” ending the conflict in Europe of 1914-1918. Millions of young men from many nations perished in this conflict, ushering in “a time of tears” shed for lost lives all over the world.

History repeated itself with the rise of fascism and nazism in Europe in the 1930s resulting in the worldwide conflict in the years 1939-1945. It was another time of tears for lost sons, husbands, brothers and sisters, parents and lovers.

As my mind goes back to my childhood, which inevitably happens at this time of the year, I thought I would share with my readers a few incidents which occurred in my life, as a child, in the midst of war. There are, along with all the horrors of war, little happenings that are like a rose blooming in a rocky place.

On May 12, 1940 the German army entered our village of Geldrop in the south of Holland. It was two days after Nazi Germany declared war on Holland. On my first encounter with German soldiers they were halted for an hour or so while they removed some huge oak trees which had been felled across the road by the retreating Dutch army. The Germans set up a field kitchen near the Farmers’ CoOp while soldiers played soccer and did their utmost to bring “us boys” into the game, enticing us with candy and chocolate. One little girl asked if the candy was poisoned, at which the soldier promptly put it in his mouth as he grinned from ear to ear. They did their best to show us and tell us that they were human beings, soldiers doing their duty.

After the initial shock, life was pretty well returned to normal. Most children adapted. We watched as military barracks and training centers for the German army’s young recruits were set up outside our village, near the city of Eindhoven. There were many occasions when the recruits marched through our village singing and laughing as we as boys would either march alongside or behind the troops which amused the young soldiers.

It was in 1942 when the first bombing raids on Germany started, these were night raids. The sirens would start around 11 p.m. Then after about 20 minutes or so the big anti-air craft guns would start booming while hundreds of planes would fly overhead on their way to Germany to bomb the industrial heartland. These planes came from bases in England. Many were shot down; each plane had a crew of about eight men.

In the summer of 1944, many German families were moved into Holland for safety as the bombing raids on Germany were a nightly occur-

rence. One such family had moved into a house around the corner from our home. Young Gerhard and I became close friends that summer. We were both 11 years old. We did everything boys do together. We jumped off the bridge into the canal, we climbed trees, we jumped ditches and got our feet soaking wet. We visited wounded German soldiers in the Catholic Boys’ School which had been converted into a military hospital. The wounded soldiers were lying on cots and being cared for by young German nurses. We would go from on to the other while Gerhard spoke words of encouragement: he was amazing in the way he spoke. I was very shy and my German was limited to a few words. They all had one thing in common; they wanted home and cried for home.

We sneaked our way into the movie theatre and by chance got sitting behind two German soldiers who gave us everything they had with them to eat, a large paper bag of fruit.

When Gerhard introduced me as the quiet one in the family, the response of the soldiers was laughter and tears, no doubt they were missing their own children.

On the mantel in Gerhard’s home was a beautiful photo of his parents. Gerhard was never to see his father again.

He perished in Stalingrad in Russia in 1942. Gerhard’s mother was a beautiful blond lady about 35 or 40 years old, who treated me like a son.

There was always a welcome.

As an 11-year-old boy, I could not understand why she cried

so much. The family left Holland a few weeks before our liberation. I never saw them again. A small group of German soldiers moved into the house after.

During the last few weeks before liberation, a young German soldier named Karl often shared his food with me. I was always hungry. Karl would show me his mother’s picture and “with tears” tell me how much he loved her. He said that the war would soon be over and he would soon see her again. He never saw her again. He died in Holland.

A few days after our liberation, young British soldiers were billeted in the Co-Op building. They set up their field kitchen at about the same place where the Germans set up their kitchen in May 1940.

It was now late September, 1944. The British shared their food with “us boys”. We ate corned beef fried in powdered eggs and for dessert we had white rice with prunes. We felt like kings.

About 30 km to the east of us, a huge battle raged near the town of Overloon, close to the German border. After the battle, there were over 3000 German, British and American dead and many hundreds severely wounded. I will never forget the night of the artillery barrage, it was Oct. 12, it started at 11 p.m. and lasted until 12:30 a.m.

My documentation records over 100,000 grenades were fired by an American/British artillery bombardment. We all went into a bomb shelter.

I shook with fear for hours. It would take three more days to

finally dislodge the Germans.

The Americans are buried at Henri-Chapelle in Belgium across from the Dutch border.

The British in five different places, the German boys are buried in Holland at a German war cemetery near Ysselsteyn, where 31,397 German soldiers found their final resting place and rivers of tears flowed for all of them. We adopted a British grave, the final resting place of George Miller. I visited his grave again in 1989.

Again there were tears.

Canada’s role in the liberation on Holland took supreme courage. Ninety per cent of the country was liberated by young brave men from Canada. The Calgary Highlanders stormed the Isle of Walcheren during the night of Oct. 31, 1944. It was a brutal frontal assault. It has been said that when morning finally came, the scene was terrible enough for angels to weep. The Canadians captured and held the road block and won the victory. In Holland, Canadians are cherished to the point of reverence. Many thousands gave their lives for our liberation. They will never be forgotten.

This is a story about the agony and tears of war and the moments of human kindness and love. In 2013, the world is still a mix of hatred and love.

Young men from many nations still come home to parents, wives and children draped in their country’s flag. At times it would appear that the extremists are winning the conflict between good and evil. There are still many tears and much agony. When will we ever learn?

Community - There are many kinds of heroes who save the day for those in need. For children in need of a loving and safe environment, there is a special group of heroes who are more than willing to open their hearts and homes when the need arises.

Family and Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Services (FCS) of Renfrew County recently held their Foster Parents and Friends Appreciation Night at the Cobden Fair Grounds. The annual event is a special one for the FCS community as foster parents, whether they provide temporary or foster to adopt care, they are saluted for the positive changes they bring to the lives of children.

Dubbed â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Foster Fiestaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, attendees were invited to don sombreros and ponchos in keeping with the Mexican theme for the event, which included a Mexican buffet. Live musical entertainment was provided by Tequila Mockingbird.

Crucial to the nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success is the array of area businesses that donated door prizes, including The Lapointe Group and OPSEU Local 459 (Family & Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Services) who contributed sponsorship or prizes in the sum of $500. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a tremendous amount of support from businesses across the county,â&#x20AC;? said Resource Supervisor Marjorie Walker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really reflects upon the fact that we are a community-based agency. People recognize the value of the agency in the community and support it that way.â&#x20AC;?

The highlight of the evening was the awards recognizing Years of Long Service in Fostering; they marked intervals of 5, 10, 15 and 30 years of service.

The five-year recipients were: Sharlene Boldt and Steven Wittkie, Marjolaine Boudreau and Stephane Lafaille, Misti and Blake Crozier, Cleo Fraser, Karen Kraft-Laabs and David Laabs, Kristy and Tim Phinney and Carrol and Fred Roussel.

The 10-year recipients were: Dorothee and Peter Berenbeck, Heidi and Eric Doyle, Nicole and Bill Grindell and Cindy Wright-Levair and Chris Levair. The 15-year ecipients were: Rosanne and Carson Foy and Susan Neuman. Marking 30 years was Debbie and John Greer.

Of special note was the presentation of the 45 Years of Service award to

Earl and Shirley Forrest of Renfrew. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Earl and Shirley are a shining example of foster parents who provide short-term foster care,â&#x20AC;? said Walker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over their incredible 45 years, they have provided care to many, many newborns and infants, helping them to transition either back home or to a permanent, adoptive home. What is amazing about Earl and Shirley is that they care for each of the children as though he or she were their first and only foster child!â&#x20AC;?

As is the norm in the fostering world, there are those who decide to leave the calling, while a new generation of foster parents are recruited to fill the gap. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People come and go from fostering for a variety of reasons,â&#x20AC;? said Walker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People want to make a difference in the life of a child. Many complete their family through fostering to adopt; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve cared for children through the process of their becoming full family members, so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re moving on with their life as a family.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of our other foster parents are in an age group where they feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to retire. At this time last year, we had about 133 approved homes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this point today, we have 128 approved homes. About 20 homes closed, but 15 new families were approved. We always need families to provide care for children, both for short- and long-term care, as their permanent plan is determined.â&#x20AC;?

Walker emphasized that a wide age group of children are in need of a safe and nurturing home environment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need homes for babies, pre-school aged children, school age and teenaged children. We also need homes that can provide care for sibling groups where age might vary greatly.â&#x20AC;&#x153; If you are interested in learning more about our Foster and Foster to Adopt program, please contact Ann Hubert at 613-735-6866, ext. 4060 or at ann.hubert@fcsrenfrew.on.ca or you can visit the website at www.fcsrenfrew.on.ca

From left in front are Karen Black, Mary Crozier and Tyson Black, and in back, director Dennis Briscoe, Keith Black, Kim David, Dawson Crozier, fair board president Bob Johnston and general manager Judy Dobec.

News - The Renfrew fair board paid tribute to one of the organization’s biggest champions and his family with the presentation of the Association of Agricultural Societies Service Award to the late Murray Crozier.

The annual volunteer appreciation dinner, held this year Oct. 26 at the Armouries, is a chance for the board to say thanks to the many individuals who come together to make the annual event a success.

Each year, a deserving volunteer receives the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies Service Award and Crozier is undoubtedly an ideal candidate for the award, say officials. He joined the board in 2004 as chair of the beef committee, a position he held until he died in the fall of 2012 following a battle with cancer.

“Murray was a valued and dedicated

member of the board of directors,” said director Dennis Briscoe. “His memories and accomplishments will be seen around the Renfrew Fair for years to come.”

The very lights shining down on the group gathered at the Armouries are a product of his efforts, said Briscoe. “And all he asked for in return was food for his volunteers.”

New ventilation in the 4-H barn, backhoe work around the grounds and other efforts underscored his commitment to the fair.

The event and the volunteer commitment was a family affair, said his daughter Karen Black, who joined Murray’s widow Mary and other family members Saturday night.

Family members weren’t asked to help, she said, it was expected. “He instilled in us the importance of volunteering,” said Black.

The family was honoured to be receiving the award on Crozier’s behalf.

“If he was here he would say he doesn’t deserve this award,” she said, but would have attributed his success to the various team members he worked alongside.

“He was on various boards and committees over the years but this is the one he enjoyed the most,” said Black.

Her father was devastated last year when he was hospitalized on the Monday before the fair and although he was sick he continued to be involved, having Karen make a list

of jobs and items that needed attention.

She quickly found his competent volunteers had things under control and as she dropped in to the barn late in fair week to update everybody on his condition and let them know he wouldn’t be able to attend – she heard a bit of a commotion behind her.

“I turned around and there he was,” she said. Crozier had persuaded hospital staff to give him a day pass so he could attend the event he so loved.

“He got to enjoy the fair, he got to see everything went as planned,” said Black.

In fact, focusing on the fair helped her dad get through some tough times.

“The fair helped him through hospital visits and treatments,” she said.

HEALTH

Connected to your community

Mental health and addictions nurses helping Renfrew students through CCAC program Champlain Community Care Access Centre

students and their families about mental health and addictions.

“If a student, parent or teacher has concerns about another student, they should speak with the school’s administrator. At this point, if the program is well-suited for the student, they will make a referral to our program,” explained Berrigan.

The nurses typically contact students within 24 hours to set up a meeting to conduct an initial assessment.

“The first meeting is all about building trust. Hopefully, the students can open up to us about their concerns. After that first meeting, we can establish a care plan to help them move forward.”

CHAMPLAIN COMMUNITY CARE ACCESS CENTRE

Thomas Berrigan is one of two Mental Health and Addictions Nurses who have been helping students in the Renfrew area since January 2013.

Community - Students sometimes face social and educational pressures that may result in mental health or addictions issues. Schools are at the forefront of dealing with these concerns; however they often lack the resources to help each and every student.

The Champlain Community Care Access Centre’s (CCAC) Mental Health and Addictions Nurses work with school boards and community partners to support students with mental health and addictions needs to stay and succeed in school.

Thomas Berrigan is one of two Mental Health and Addictions Nurses that have been helping students in the Renfrew area since January 2013.

“We work with all publicly funded schools in Renfrew County from JK to Grade 12, ages 3 to 21. We visit them as often as needed depending on each student’s individual treatment,” he said.

Mental Health and Addictions Nurses complement the programs already provided by schools and community-based organizations. This support includes oneon-one meetings with students, providing short-term therapy, helping students understand their medications, and educating

Mystical magical masquerade ball in Renfrew Sandra Dormer Red Hatters

Community – On Oct. 19 members of the Red Hat Society met in Renfrew to do what they do best – have fun!

The theme of the event, hosted by Jill Lepack, Red Hat Ambassador and Queen of the Renfrew Red Hotters, was a “mystical magical masquerade.”

Red Hatters, always ready to dress up and have a good time played their part with enthusiasm and an incredible creative spirit. As might be exRED HATTERS pected several ladies were dressed From left, Jill Lepack, Queen of the Renfrew Red Hotters and Bonnie as witches, others as genies, many Brown of the Carleton Place Shopping Sherpas, winner of the best cos- ladies sprouted feathers for the occasion. One inventive lady sported tume prize.

The ladies feasted on a delicious scalloped potato and ham dinner put on by the ladies of the Renfrew Legion. It was followed by dancing and awarding of prizes. Bonnie Brown of the Carleton Place Shopping Sherpas won the prize for best costume. Her mauve “mother-of-the-bride” ensemble had a few finishing touches that made her outfit an outstanding creation – red wings, a peaked witch’s hat that lit up and a modestly eerie light that brought a magical glow to her face.

The Red Hat Society is the world’s largest play group for women, boasting 70,000 members in over 30 countries. For more information on the Red Hat Society, see www.redhatsociety.com

a bustier made out of red and purple duct tape! Princesses and gypsies were also in ready supply.

Sandra Dormer of Carleton Place, inspired by the many creations, most of which included assorted treasures from dollar stores and thrift shops, said, “I can’t think up the outfit but once I see something special I can try to imitate it.” Fortunately Red Hat ladies are known for generously sharing where they find the components for their outfits and the instructions for making them just right.

While most of the attendees were from Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley area, one gutsy gal came all the way from Inwood, Ont. (about an hour the other side of London, Ont.) to play with her Red Hat sisters.

Admaston-Bromley beef farmer among shining Canuck performers ‘down under’ Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Canadian beef farmers have emerged with the champion and reserve champion titles from the youth program at the PGG Wrightson World Angus Forum in New Zealand.

All three four-member Canadian teams came away with prestigious honours in the October competition that featured youth from Canada, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia.

The Eh Team, captained by Sean Enright of Enright Farms in Admaston-Bromley Township, took top honours for team presentation. Enright, 24, also placed second in his showmanship (handler) class.

Enright’s teammates were Stacey Domolewski of Taber, Alta.; Chad Lorenz of Markerville, Alta.; and Breanna Anderson of Swan River, Man. “I’m glad for the experience and how friendly everybody was,” said Enright after returning home to Renfrew County.

“It was a great experience,” said Enright after being exposed to a country where he says sheep are still the staple industry. In fact, he says many New Zealanders he met at the forum said they were sheep farmers who owned cattle.

“Everyone just got on great, and we had the same interest in common — farming and the Angus. It was also neat to see how different countries prepare their cattle differently,” added Enright.

For example, Scottish members of one U.K. team left hair on the front of the animal, while the Canadians remove it.

Team members also visited Angus farms — which are called studs in New Zealand — in the area and participated in an adrenaline tour with the 10 other teams from across the world.

The 11th World Angus Forum coincided with the 150th-anniversary celebrations of the introduction of the Angus breed in New Zealand.

Initially, the Canadian Angus Foundation committed to sending up to eight youth, for two Canadian teams, to the competition.

After reviewing applications, four more youth made the trip with the help of financing from the Canadian Angus Association board of directors.

The Canadian Angus Foundation functions to preserve and expand the Angus breed for future generations through education, youth development, scientific and market research, and historical preservation. The Canadian Angus Foundation was incorporated in 1993 as the charitable arm of the CAA.

Sean Enright of Admaston-Bromley Township accepts the sash for placing second in the youth showmanship class at the PGG Wrightson World Angus Forum.

The world championship prize of $10,000 NZ went to the Canucks team of captain Jared Hunter of Didsbury, Alta.; Patrick Holland of Montague, P.E.I.; Melissa McRae of Brandon, Man.; and Michael Hargrave of Maxwell, Ont. “I am so honored to have been selected to represent Canada on this prestigious trip and winning it is truly unbelievable!” said McRae. The reserve champion world title went to Team BsquarED, whose members were captain Erika Easton of Wawota, Sask.; Ty Dietrich of Forestburg, Alta.; Kaitlynn Bolduc of Stavely, Alta.; and Matthew Bates of Cameron, Ont. Bates was also announced the high individual for the entire contest, scoring highest in the most challenges as an individual.

“Cloud nine doesn’t begin to describe it,” said Bates after learning he’d won.

All teams arrived in Rotorua, on New Zealand’s north island, Oct. 9 for the five-section contest.

All youth worked with heifers provided by New Zealand farms in the area.

Events included general knowledge, parading (presentation, showmanship and sportsmanship with an Angus animal), stock judging, animal preparation (clip an animal for show) and agri-sports (hands-on team challenge involving day-to-day tasks).

In recent years, the members of the Royal Canadian Legion have asked the towns, cities, schools, businesses, churches and citizens of Canada to stop for two minutes at 11am on November 11th and pay special tribute to the 116,000 Canadians who have given their lives in war to defend Canada. The silence begins in Newfoundland and sweeps across the country like a wave, as the clock strikes 11am in each time zone. The objective is simply to allow as many Canadians as possible to participate in Remembrance Day. The “wave of Silence” has received resounding support from Canadians in all parts of Canada. In previous years, trains stopped, factory workers paused and school children participated in record numbers in remembering the heroic sacrifices of the men and women who went to war in the 20th century. We come to you again this year to solicit your support for the “2 Minute Save of Silence”. We urge you to encourage your staff and clients, your students and neighbours to sustain the momentum achieved in the observance of Remembrance and in the special tribute paid to the men and women to whom all Canadians owe so much. Thank you for your support. Please help us to make the “2 Minute Wave of Silence” a continuing tradition of Remembrance in Canada.

Michelle Eady heads down this steep section of Petawawa River in Algonquin Provincial Park.

Ragged snow pants are history Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Sports - Early childhood educator Michelle Eady has a joyful and playful attitude, but with it comes a critical perspective and a will to do something about the wrongs in life.

A little over a year ago, she started writing a blog to express her distaste for the littering done in the area, especially at several Calabogie sites where she’d go fishing. The trouble is, she says, she had to clean up other fishermen’s littering before enjoying one of her favourite pastimes.

“Your world is not your garbage can,” says the Springtown resident who works at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School.

“You wouldn’t want people littering in your living room, so why litter anywhere else?”

You’ll find more about her blog, Living on Life, at mish1100.wordpress.com.

Recent titles on her blog include Kayaking with goggles; 1,597 hours with my fiancé; and The things you can do with apples.

The 26-year-old Eady admits her main reason for writing a regular blog, which he has done for about a year, was more calculating.

She says she wanted to get dibs on some high-tech clothing, to match her insatiable appetite for outdoor activities, which include ice climbing, cross-country skiing, downhill skiing, kayaking, snowboarding, fishing and hiking.

In fact, while in Europe this past summer, she was proposed to on a Slovakian mountain top. Her fiancé, Mike, has been promising to buy her new snow pants, to replace the two aging pairs, including one pair she has worn since elementary school.

“I don’t like to waste things.

I’ll wear them until they’re on their last threads,” she admits.

But now he’s off the hook, thanks to Columbia Sportswear company.

After starting her blog to vent about littering and litterers, she then set out to see if she could garner some eyecatching outdoor wear.

And she did. She came home from work Oct. 9 to find a postmarked box containing a new winter jacket, snow pants, gloves, balaclava and underlayers.

She is now the proud and first Canadian to be named a Columbia Sportswear OmniTen member. Each year, 10 people are named to the group for respective fall-winter and spring-summer seasons.

Bantam Wolves rule in North Bay Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - The Renfrew Bantam Timberwolves opened with a tie, and then racked up five consecutive wins to capture the West Ferris North Bay hockey tournament Oct. 25-27 weekend.

After being held to a 2-2 deadlock by the Paris Wolf Pack Friday night, the Wolves defeated all comers they faced in the 10-team bantam B division.

Renfrew defeated the Cochrane Blues 4-2 and Porcupine Custom Concrete 4-2 in Saturday contests.

The Wolves blanked Kemptville 1-0 in Sunday morning’s quarterfinal before turning back league rival Muskrat Voyageurs 6-2 in the semifinal.

That paired the Bantam Wolves up against the Paris Wolf Pack once again, in the tournament final.

Renfrew won the rematch 3-0.

Wolves game MVPs were Ben Scheuneman, Nicholas Fleguel, John Agnew, Zach Moran, Connor Fulton and Carter Bleeks.

“It is truly an honour,” says Eady.

As an OmniTen member, she expects to receive several shipments of clothing to keep and to critique, for better or for worse. Columbia wants honest feedback, she stresses.

In addition, the company also wants her to share her social media content by critiquing the clothing and sharing her outdoor sports experiences.

Trying to account for her OmniTen selection, she surmises: “I believe it is because of my love for the outdoors, the fact I am willing to try anything, and because I enjoy using media in a positive way to promote an outdoors and healthy lifestyle.”

Her OmniTen selection also brings a free 2014 trip to an American destination, yet to be named. The trip will take place Jan. 6-11 to critique Columbia Sportswear clothing, likely at a ski resort, she says.

There’s no mistake Eady’s excited about upgrading her wardrobe for more outdoor adventures, but her blog and lifestyle is a lot more than a fashion statement.

Through her blogging, she says maybe she’ll inspire some readers to pick up litter – as Eady does – or to just go outdoors and enjoy being there.

Timberwolves sweep two-game set from defending Eastern Ontario champs Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - It was a quite a week for the Renfrew Timberwolves.

Faced with the prospect of meeting the defending Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League champion Ottawa Junior Canadians in backto-back games, the Wolves not only met the challenge, they passed it.

The Wolves took the opener 5-1 last Tuesday night in Ottawa, and returned home Sunday to pull out a dandy, 3-2 over the same Canadians in a shootout at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

room with two of their own from Scott Conroy and Cole Allard in the first 5:42 of the second period to tie things up.

The game remained that way through a scoreless third period and five-minute overtime.

Conroy and Parker traded goals as the first set of shooters in the shootout. After two failures to score by both teams, blueliner Teddy Suckow snapped home the game winner while St.-Germain denied the shootout bid of Ottawa’s Jamie Molinski to give Renfrew its margin of victory.

WOLVES 5, OTTAWA 1

WOLVES 3, OTTAWA 2 (SO)

The two teams traded scoring chances throughout much of the night as both Brayden St.-Germain in the Timberwolves goalcrease and Ottawa counterpart Matt Couvrette did everything their teams could ask of them. The teams combined for 70 shots with the Ottawa holding a 3634 margin.

The Canadians struck for goals from Jeremie Xatruch and Mitch Parker 3:26 apart midway through the opening period for a 2-0 lead.

But the Valley Division champion Wolves charged out of the dressing

The Wolves and Canadians opened last week’s home-and-home set Oct. 29 with a spirted contest, to say the least, at Ottawa’s Sandy Hill Arena.

A second period melee resulted in the ouster of six players, while the game itself drew 178 minutes in penalties. But in the important column, the Wolves led 1-0 through 20 minutes, and opened up a 3-0 lead en route to a convincing 5-1 triumph.

Bailey Hein had a good night with two goals and an assist to lead the Wolves. Tyler MacDonald, Issac Anderson and Kurtis Leclaire

pegged singles. Scott Conroy added a pair of helpers.

Mitch Robertson was the lone Ottawa shooter to solve Matt Schroeder late in the second period. Otherwise, the Wolves’ goaltender was flawless in blocking 21 other Junior Canadians shots. Veteran Matt Couvrette faced 31 Renfrew drives.

The Wolves were up 3-1 when all hell broke loose at the 17:12 mark of the middle period.

When referee Mikael Barrette rounded up the troops, the Wolves defensive corps was depleted with the loss of Alex Campbell and Nolan Rook for the night. Sean Kyte was also tossed from the game, as were three Canadians, including Matt Crozier for checking from behind, as well as fighting. Ex-Wolf Casey Donor received a cross-checking major and game misconduct in the third period.

While the Wolves didn’t score on that powerplay, Anderson and Leclaire did connect in the final session to put the game on ice.

The Wolves hit the Quebec side to take on the Pontiac Juniors in Shawville Friday at 8 p.m.

Renfrew’s next home game is Friday, Nov. 15. The Clarence Creek Beavers supply the opposition at 8 p.m.

Rotary shows Bonnechere Manor support A cheque for $14,000 was recently presented to the Bonnechere Manor in support of the Rotary Hall at the facility.

Jaguar boys rack up third unbeaten season GIRLS HOOPS

peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - The St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jaguars senior boys volleyball team is putting together an impressive resume.

For a third consecutive year, the Jaguars have competed an unbeaten regular season in the Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association.

A 3-1 win over the Madawaska Valley District Wolves in Barryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay last Wednesday gave coach Trent Skelhornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jaguars a 9-and-0 record for the 2013 season.

The defending Renfrew County champions now earn the right to host this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playoffs today before the home crowd in the Jag Den. The Junior Jaguars also enjoyed a fine regular season. Their lone loss came by a 3-2 margin in Barryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay last week.

The Jaguars finished the senior girls basketball regular season in second place with an 8-and-1 record following a 49-23 win over the Mackenzie Mustangs Oct. 29.

Sonya Bergin with 20 points, and Jocelyn Virgin, were St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top point getters.

The Junior Jaguars (6and-3) tamed the Mustangs 53-14 behind Lindsay Shermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 17 points.

The junior girls then advanced on the strength of a dominate 38-13 win over the Fellowes Falcons Oct. 31 in their UOVHSAA quarterfinal before the home crowd in the Jag Den. Hannah Robertson had a dozen points to pace the Jaguars.

Janessa Linton led a dominant performance from the defence, coach Mark Valliquette said.

Palfreyman golf champs Sports - The Royal Canadian Legion Renfrew Branch 148 held its annual Dave Palfreyman Memorial Golf Tournament at the Dragonfly Golf Links in early September.

Winning the 2013 tour-

nament title was the team of Chad Thompson, Landin Miller, Steven Fraser and Craig Briscoe.

Mary Palfreyman Shellhorne made the championship hardware presentation to the winning team.

Tate picked up another thirdplace ribbon in 25m backstroke.

The over-13 girls had a fine day in the pool. In the 100m IM, Simona Nixon, Michelle Reid, and Megan Styles finished 1-2-3. Simona succeeded in the 50m freestyle, too. Michelle was victorious in the

100m freestyle, while Megan was second in the 200m freestyle.

Meanwhile, Maeghan Ziebarth was second in both 50m freestyle and 50m breast stroke.

The day ended with a good-natured Pumpkin Relay Race, which pitted teams from each club against each other. There were lots of giggles and cheering as the Bluefish swimmers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; wearing their

Halloween moustaches â&#x20AC;&#x201C; managed to navigate the length of the pool carrying a large pumpkin as the relay baton.

Luckily, they discovered that pumpkins do, in fact, float.

With the first swim meet under their belts, the team can look forward to the next few meets, including the Sea Lions Invitational in Cornwall Nov. 30 and Dec. 1.

Sports - The Arnprior Bluefish kicked off the swim racing season in fine â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;spookyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; form at the Perth Stingrays Spooky Halloween Meet Oct. 27. This fun meet featured swimmers from the Bluefish, the Stingrays, and the Goulbourn Sea Hawks. Swimmers competed in freestyle, backstroke, breast stroke, butterfly, and individual medley (a combination of all four strokes). The talented Bluefish squad achieved some spook-tacular results!

In the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 10-and-under division, Lauren Herter picked up first place ribbons in the challenging 100m IM and the 200m freestyle. Alex Wroe successfully tackled these races too, and also won a first-place ribbon for each.

Alexander Abercrombie was twice victorious as well, with two firsts in 25m backstroke and 50m breast stroke. Carson Lefebvre swam strongly and collected a third place rib-

bon in 100m freestyle and fourth-place ribbon in 50m freestyle.

In the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 11-12-yearold division, Lizzie Wyatt emerged champion of the 100m IM and the 200m freestyle, while Abby Mulvihill dove into the 100m freestyle and the 200m freestyle, finishing second in both.

Lily McIntyre picked up a couple of third-place finishes in 50m breast stroke and 50m freestyle. Abby Harrod swam powerfully to finish fourth in the 200m freestyle and the strenuous 50m butterfly.

Meanwhile, the 1112 boys also raced to some fine finishes. Cameron Shepherd tackled the 100m IM, finishing first, with Mason Kenny hot on his heels in second. Mason also swam to first in the 25m breast stroke. Cameron was victorious in the 50m freestyle, with Zach Wroe finishing second in this race. Zach doubled his second-place finishes with a strong 50m backstroke race.

RCI hosts football final Friday Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - The Renfrew Collegiate Raiders host the Almonte Thunderbolts this Friday at 1 p.m. at Ma-Te-Way Park’s Lindsay Athletic Field with the Lanark-Renfrew High School Football League championship on the line.

The Raiders clinched the Renfrew County title with a 34-6 win over the Mackenzie Mustangs in Deep River Oct. 29.

Matt Murdock had three major scores for the Raiders.

Quarterback Devin Clouthier also engineered drives that culminated in Neal Gibbons and Connor Jamieson touchdowns.

The defence came to play.

They picked off six Deep Riv-

er passes to give the offence good field position.

The RCI Junior Raiders finished in second place in Upper Ottawa Valley girls basketball with an 8-and-1 mark after defeating the Opeongo Wildcats 35-20, spearheaded by Andrea Martin’s 20 points.

Courtney Briscoe and Shelby Hartwick joined Martin with solid games for RCI as the trio held Opeongo’s top two snipers to nine points.

The Senior Raiders (6-and3) dropped a close 23-18 decision to the unbeaten Wildcats. Renee Gauthier caged 16 points.

However, the Senior Raiders season came to a halt Thursday. The visiting Madawaska Valley District Wolves fended off the Raiders 24-16 in the UOVHSAA quarterfinal at the

Grant Gymnasium. There’ll be a big turnover with next year’s team. There are seven graduating players coach Adam Noack noted.

The Raiders senior boys volleyball team finished the regular season at 3-and-6. RCI finished tied with Madawaska for the sixth and final playoff spot, but earned the post-season nod, thanks to a 3-1 win in Barry’s Bay Oct. 24.

John Pettigrew carried the Raiders blue and white at the OFSAA (Ontario high school) cross-country championship Saturday at the Laurentian University campus in Sudbury.

Pettigrew finished 33rd in a field of 265 runners in the senior boys seven-kilometre run.

He crossed the finish line in 24 minutes and 17 seconds.

Senior teams met in Pembroke Andy Sklepowicz Behind the Glass

Sports - Two senior men’s teams travelled to Pembroke for the senior men’s invitational this past weekend and both came away with prize money after some great games.

Saturday saw those two teams play each other in the first game and the team of Gary Smith, Dave Eady, Brian Yolkowskie and Bernie Leclaire took an early lead as they made the key shots when needed.

The Rob Warren team, with Andy Sklepowicz (in for Don Rouble), Jim Berg and Andy Humphries, fought back and the teams were tied after seven. Rob’s team had trouble setting up the steal and Gary made an open hit with last rock for the win.

The Warren team then had a strong game, defeating Killa-

loe handily, while Gary Smith met old nemesis Emile Robert from Pembroke. This game featured some great shots by both teams and Gary had the hammer for the win. But Robert made a perfect draw to the button against three with his last rock.

Smith had to follow him down to gently tap the shot rock back but it was a touch outside and Pembroke had the win.

This put both Renfrew teams into Sunday with Warren moving to the B round and Smith to C. In the semis on Sunday, the Warren crew, now with Rouble at vice, defeated Harv Robertson from Pembroke by taking two in the sixth to go up 4-3 and then stole four in the seventh.

In the B final, Rob and the lads defeated Ken Francis from Cobden 6-5. In a close

match the Renfrewites were down one coming home with hammer and on the last shot Warren made an open hit to stick for two.

Gary Smith’s boys defeated Carl Zieroth from Pembroke, thanks to three in the seventh to go up five.

In the C final, Smith defeated Mark Brown from North Bay 5-4. Also down one coming home with hammer Smith made an open draw for two and the win.

Rookies Rock had its start this past Sunday with new curlers taking to the ice, accompanied by some members trying to develop their basic skills and the progress was nice to see.

After the six week program, the rookie curlers should be ready to step into any league.

It is not too late to join us at the next session this Sunday at 1 p.m.

AREA COMPETITORS

Other area drivers also tested their driving skills at the derby.

William Rowan of Douglas took third place in the pro mod trucks and Jesse Schultz fell short by one place to make the feature in the mini mod class that had more than 120 entries.

Scott Dodds of Hurds Lake also competed in the pro-modified division.

The Township of Admaston/Bromley has completed an Environmental Screening Process (ESP) in accordance with Ontario Regulation 101/07 made under the Environmental Assessment Act (EAA). An Environmental Screening Report has been prepared and is available for public review at the Municipal Office and on the Municipal Website from November 6, 2013 to January 10, 2014.

The proposal is to expand the existing 1.52 ha landfilling area to 2.66 ha which increases the waste disposal capacity from 79,000m3 to 178,740m3.

The fill area is located in a total site area of 25.3 ha owned by the municipality and an additional 11.9 ha property will be added as a contaminant attenuation zone south of the fill area. The expansion will provide a 25 to 30 year waste management solution for the Township of Admaston/Bromley residents and business community.

Pack the House Friday as Wolves in Shawville Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

News - When the Renfrew Timberwolves travel to Shawville for their Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League game this Friday night, the Pontiac Juniors will like to see Renfrew fans accompany the Wolves more than ever.

It’s Pack the House night at 8 p.m. in support of Brett Nugent of the Pontiacs.

Nugent is in his second year with the Shawville Pontiacs Jr. B Hockey Club and was involved in a unfortunate accident Oct. 27 against the Perth Blue Wings, Pontiacs coach Chris Byrne noted in an email to Wolves general manager Brent Sylvester.

Nugent and a Blue Wings

player collided awkwardly, sending both players into the dasher boards head first. After lying on the ice for some time, Nugent was taken from the ice on a stretcher, and soon after, airlifted to Ottawa Civic Hospital where underwent surgery.

Through monitoring, it has been confirmed that Nugent has suffered a very serious spinal injury which leaves many questions of his long-term recovery yet to be answered, Byrne said.

Friday night’s fundraiser in Shawville will be the first of a series of events planned. All proceeds from the gate, 50-50 draw and signed Ottawa Senators jersey will be donated to Nugent.

Lifestyle – The leaves have fallen and Halloween has ended, and this deems an end to fall and the true start of winter.

Fall decorations are starting to be packed away, winter coats are being brought out (mind you with the recent weather, most are already out) and Christmas presents are being tucked away for loved ones.

The start of the holiday season means craft shows are starting up and businesses are decorating for the holidays. Snowflakes are replacing leaves, gift baskets are replacing pumpkins and we are in the spirit at the Golden Age Centre.

We have a holiday craft session every Wednesday morning in November at 10:30 a.m. for participants to make holiday decorations for their home.

The program will run at Golden Age Activity Centre and sign up is necessary so we know how many supplies to pick up. A small weekly fee may apply depending on the supplies.

Get your creativity flowing by coming out to our watercolour painting class on Thursdays in November at 10:30am for free at the Golden Age Centre.

Frank Harper will be teaching techniques that will help you express your personality and abilities.

All skill levels welcome as it is a time for you to have fun, not a competition on the best photo.

It is never too early to start thinking about gifts, and there is nothing better than well thought out, local made/ purchased gifts. If you have hard-to-

buy-for people on your list, then gift cards are always a good choice.

Community Living is offering the Avgen Gift Card program again this year, where people can pur-

HERITAGE Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chili sauce recipe Lifestyle - Ever since Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column of a couple weeks ago about the popularity of her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chili sauce, Metroland newspapers have been deluged with requests for the recipe. It follows, with a few brief comments from Mary herself:

Connected to your community

MARYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S MOTHERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S CHILI SAUCE

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am happy to share my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipe for chili sauce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I found the recipe again, and it is dated 1938, so it really is a Depression recipe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It may not differ that much from the recipes of today, but we sure ate it with great gusto back then. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There should be plenty of ripe tomatoes at the supermarkets and at the farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; markets, so they and the onions should still be available. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here then, is the recipe.â&#x20AC;?

12 large ripe tomatoes, two large onions, four green peppers,two tablespoons salt. 1/2 cup white sugar, 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1 tsp. ground cloves, 2 1/2 cups white vinegar.

Method: Plunge the tomatoes briefly in hot water, so that they can be peeled easily. Peel the onions, and remove the seeds from the green peppers. Chop all of this fine. Stir every-

but I remember her doing, and I have no idea why she did it - but once the sauce was put in the jars, she turned the jars upside down on the bake table for about a day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was before storing them on the shelves in the dugout cellar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But when I had to go down into that dark and dank hole to get a jar, they were always upright on the shelf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good luck ... Mary.â&#x20AC;?

thing together, and then add the salt, sugar, cinnamon, cloves and vinegar.

Cook on low heat, and slowly, for about 50 or 60 minutes (I think closer to the 60 minutes is better, because you want it thickened).

Stir it occasionally while it is cooking.

Pour into hot and sterilized jars, and seal tightly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, that is my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipe.

Lifestyle – Mother was always concerned that we five children didn’t have the proper respect for the true meaning of Remembrance Day. The school at Northcote with only 18 pupils, had no piano, and the few county officials were already involved with the ceremony in the town of Renfrew, and so there was little in the way of observance at the school.

For this reason, Mother, each year, piled all of us into the Model T and headed into town, where, as she put it, there would be a proper and fitting ceremony to remember those who had fallen in the First World War. Mother’s three young brothers had all been in the army, even though Mother said they weren’t old enough to vote, but they were old enough to fight in the war.

By the way Mother talked about her brothers, I wondered if they perhaps had won the war singlehandedly!

Without fail, the weather was always dreadful on Remembrance Day. We would drive through freezing rain or snow, it seemed, and at a very young age, I wondered if the terrible weather had something mysterious to do with the sombreness of the day.

And so when we headed into Renfrew, we were bundled up like mummies, with hats and mitts, and winter boots.

We certainly wouldn’t have the luxury of wearing slacks on such a day, and even though I usually hated them with a passion, I was very grateful for the heavy navy blue fleece-lined bloomers over our long underwear and long beige ribbed stockings.

But it never mattered how much clothes we had on, there was always a piercing wind rolling down Raglan Street where the parade took place at the war memorial, and it penetrated our bodies and had us shivering like leaves on tree.

The children from the Renfrew schools always marched to the place where the ceremony was to be held.

We five country children were very aware that we weren’t really a part of a group, but that certainly didn’t matter to our mother.

She would wait until the town school pupils had formed perfect lines, neither looking left or right, and then she would march the five of us right up to the front row, and position us so that we were actually an extension of the line-up of town kids.

My older sister Audrey was most embarrassed, but her protests did noth-

ing to sway our Mother.

The town children had sheets of music, and we would shudder in embarrassment when we would see Mother walk right over to a teacher, whisper in her ear, and then point to us, and then we would see her head back to us with five sheets of music!

For reasons much beyond my comprehension, someone from the town ranks of pupils always fainted. Just as sure as death and taxes, as soon as the person leading the program opened his mouth, one or two would topple over. If the overcome person was a girl, the teacher would rush up, fan her with the sheet music, and if that didn’t help, she would be carried off with her eyes rolled into the back of her head.

But if it was a boy pupil who had succumbed to the pressures of the day and toppled over, he was left to lie there until he either revived on his own, or the ceremony ended. Emerson said, on the way home, “those Renfrew kids are a sickly lot ... certainly none of us ever fell over in a dead faint.”

After all the war songs had been sung, out of the crowd would come a very old man with a shiny trumpet tucked under his arm.

He would walk the full length of the parade area, and he wore a soldier’s uniform that obviously had been borrowed.

His hands were all but covered with the cuffs, and the pant legs bagged over his swath-covered legs.

He was very elderly, and Mother, ever the one to add drama to any situation, said he probably fought in the Boer War. He played the trumpet loud and clear as a bell, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd!

The Renfrew children were the first to march off the parade grounds, and Emerson, not to be outdone by kids from town, turned on the heal of his gum-rubbers, and with his arms swinging, marched back down the street to where Mother had parked the Model T. On the road back to Northcote we would be subjected once again to Mother’s stories of how her own brothers went off to war, and often her voice would catch with the memory.

But we knew she was filled with pride, and I too would be caught up in the stories, and would think of those uncles, who returned safely from battle, and unscarred ... and I would think I was related to true war heroes.

And then I would know, even though I was very young, why Remembrance Day was so important to our mother.

www.johnyakabuski.com On November 1st, your hydro bills went up yet again.

Off peak residential rates will rise to 12.9 cents per kilowatt hour. This is exactly three times what the residential rate was in 2003 when the liberals took office.

If you are on an energy contract or are a major power user, your rates are calculated differently. A commercial customer pays the hourly price for electricity, plus a little understood component called the global adjustment.

In September that hit an all time high of 8.74 cents/ kw hr. This of course does not include other charges as delivery, debt retirement, regulatory charges and of course the HST. Electricity rates continue to be one of the most mentioned issues when I speak to constituents. Residents, particularly those at lower fixed incomes, simply cannot keep pace with the increases. Commercial customers lament that Ontario is fast becoming a jurisdiction where businesses are finding it harder and harder to stay afloat.

The energy policy of the McGuinty-Wynne liberals has been nothing short of a disaster that continues to erode Ontario’s competitiveness. In spite of this reality, they continue down their ill advised path of building more inefficient and ridiculously expensive wind turbines. Their plans to triple the number of wind turbines presently operating in Ontario will drive these hydro rates much higher yet. This insanity has to stop.

Monday, November 11th marks the 95th Anniversary of the end of the first World War. Remembrance Day is very special to me as I’m sure it is to you. The slogan being used this year “What if every day was Remembrance Day” is so very appropriate. In our busy lives, it is so easy to forget that everything we enjoy in our country today, we owe to those, who made the ultimate sacrifice in defending freedom and democracy. Their commitment to defeat the forces of tyranny cannot now or ever be overstated. Our debt to those 110,000 Canadians can NEVER be repaid.

The devotion of the soldiers who returned was no less than those who did not. While fewer and fewer of those brave souls remain, we can express our undying gratitude to them. I can’t help but think about my Dad as Remembrance Day approaches and wish that he were still with us. He was one of the lucky ones, who did return and I’m sure I never thanked him for his willingness to risk his own life to provide the one which I enjoy today. I do, however have the opportunity to thank the Veterans who are still with us. When I meet them, I see my Dad in each and every one of them. As brothers in arms, they shared something that I can only imagine. The horrors and brutality of war that they experienced is something that they alone understand.

Every year, I see fewer of those Veterans as every year, we lose more and more of them. Many of those who are still living are unable to attend Remembrance Day ceremonies any longer because of health reasons.

Over the past several years, there has been heightened interest in Remembrance Day celebrations. Much of this can be attributed to Canada’s Afghan mission. Our brave men and women who have served so valiantly, particularly those who did not return, deserve our deepest gratitude as well. As the mission winds down, I hope our Remembrance Day ceremonies are not viewed as less important as a result. Ceremonies will be held throughout the valley. I encourage everyone to take the time to attend one in their community, LEST WE FORGET! 1107 R0072067653

SKATE AND SKI EXCHANGE: The Rotary Club held a highly-successful skate and ski exchange at the Library Program Centre. It was a sports persons paradise as new and nearly-new equipment could be bought for very little cash outlay.

Several whole families were completely outfitted for the winter sports. Rotarian Jim MacSween said the annual event is held as one of their community service projects and has been met with enthusiastic participation by the community. Although 10 per cent commission is charged on equipment turned in for the sale, the costs involved are not recovered he said.

Equipment turned into the sale and not sold will be at the Recreation Centre next week. Anything not picked up will be considered abandoned and disposed of by the Rotary Club members.

MEET THE CANDIDATES: Nov. 1 is your chance to meet the candidate running in the Nov. 13 municipal election. All candidates have been invited to take part and each will be allowed to speak briefly followed by a question period from the audience, and then a closing brief statement by each candidate.

The event is sponsored by the Renfrew and District University Women’s Club.

TWO RENFREW LADS HAVE AUTOGRAPHS OF HIS EXCELLENCY: Joe Levecque, 12, and Tom Crowe, 14, had the thrill of their young lives during the visit of their Excellencies to Renfrew. Joe and Tom followed all the proceedings at the various places; the cenotaph, the dam and the nurses home. It was at the latter the opportunity came for them. Joe and Tom had each carried their little autograph books and pencils and had entered the nurses home in the line. When in the hall they edged to one side and got their books and pencils ready. Lieut.

Scott, ADC to Lord and Lady Tweedsmuir, ever alert, noticed the books and the boys. Quickly he stepped to the young lads and asked their desires and just as quickly both replied, “The autograph of his Ex-

cellency, sir,” Lieut. Scott soon found the opportunity and his Excellency generously responded. So there are two proud lads in Renfrew. Joe Levecque and Tom Crowe will long treasure the signature of the representative to Canada, of King George V1.

FOR 40 YEARS THE LIGHT WAS IN THE WINDOW: The late Dr. Murphy’s professional card did not appear in the last issue of the Mercury, and this was noticed by several readers. Dr. Murphy’s first professional card appeared in The Mercury for the first time on Sept. 21, 1894, and from that time until he was borne to his last resting place, his notice appeared weekly in The Mercury columns. His first office was on Main street in the rear of Fraser’s store. There appeared on the same date (Sept. 21, 1894) the professional cards of two other physicians, Dr. J. Mann, whose office was on Argyle Street, and Dr. N. McCormack, whose office was in the Hynes Block.

RENFREW WELL ADVERTISED: The ordinary citizen probably has little idea how well known Renfrew is becoming through Canada through its industries and the advertising done for them. The whole front cover of the Farmer’s Advocate last week had emblazoned thereon the product of the Renfrew Machinery Co., and Renfrew loomed big enough to make the property proud.

And all through the agricultural journal from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic there Renfrew products are being made to sink into the public mind.

Mr. J.A. Jamieson does the same with Renfrew Town in the building trade journals.

AN ADDITIONAL PROVINCIAL PARK: Up about Calabogie there is a rumour that the Ontario Government has in view extension of Algonquin Park or the forming of a new provincial park reserve of parts of Lanark and Renfrew County, about Lavant and the wilds of western Renfrew. There are certainly many thousands of acres in that district fit for little else than reforestation. Hunters would certainly relish the carrying out of the government’s rumoured intentions. There are those who have no hesitation in expressing themselves that the deer would now be extinct in this section were it not for those that come down each season from Algonquin Park.

The Last Resort â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the start of something new LAFT

LAFT

The cast of The Last Resort, from left, front row, Kathryn Bossy, Jennifer Slight, Elizabeth Brumm and Evelyn Gordon; and back row, Jeff Retty, Doug Miller, Taylor Popkie, Kevin Bossy and Jordan DeBruyn. This is the first production of the new LAFT as revived by Really Cool Initiatives (Kathy and Norm Dagg). For now, LAFT Players is rebranxded as LAFT â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a really cool initiativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Lifestyle - When the play The Last Resort takes to the stage Nov. 27 to 30, it will mark a new beginning for the former LAFT Players which suspended operations in the spring of 2013.

LAFT Players will be reborn as LAFT â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a really cool initiativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with their first production being directed

by Kathy Dagg, cofounder of Really Cool Initiatives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope that the recreation centre will be packed every night with people who will come out to enjoy a fun theatre experience that at just $10 a seat will definitely give them their moneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth and more,â&#x20AC;? says Kathy Dagg.

The setting is a vacation retreat in a remote region of Saskatchewan.

The cast of characters include the un-

by Jessica and Julia Youngstead, twins who are in town to attend the reading of their fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will; married couple Sid and Liz Barzini, who may or may not be looking to re-light the fire in their relationship, and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;blockedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; poet Trent Balfour. Add Inspector Closely of the RCMP to the mix who is a curious combination of Maxwell Smart and Columbo and a murder/mystery/comedy with music is born.

The plot is replete with twists and turns at every juncture and moves along at a brisk pace, carried forward on a score that is both pleasing and comedic.

The dialogue is witty and filled with jokes and puns that

will keep the audience laughing and off balance throughout.

This production features a great cast of experienced performers who are familiar to audiences of Really Cool Initiatives and/or LAFT Players, backed up by a production team of the highest calibre.

Performers include Elizabeth Brumm, Jeff Retty, Evelyn Gordon, Doug Miller, Jennifer Slight, Kevin Bossy, Kathryn Bossy, Jordan DeBruyn and Taylor Popkie.

The Last Resort is a play that will appeal to everyone and will definitely prove that live theatre is alive and well in Renfrew.

The Last Resort was written by Canadian playwright Norman Foster and features music and lyrics by famed Canadian composer Leslie Arden.

MP welcomes local farm leaders to Hill for CETA discussion Editor’s note: Following is a news release from the office of RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant.

Cheryl Gallant Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP

Cheryl Gallant, MP for RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke, hosted a special meeting with representatives from Renfrew County Agricultural Organizations on Parliament Hill to outline the opportunities arising from

the recently signed Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), and listen to concerns.

“It was very helpful to have Dave McGonegal, of the Renfrew County Cattleman’s Association, Tony Straathof of the National Farmers Union, Bob Johnston of the Renfrew County Federation of Agriculture, Bruce Hudson of the Arnprior Federation of Agriculture, Don Russell of the Dairy Farmers of Renfrew County, and Tim Egan of the Pork Farmers

of Renfrew County, give insight on provisions necessary to place local producers to benefit from CETA,” said Gallant.

Livestock Farmers in Renfrew County have at least two years to prepare for the access to 500 million new customers. For pork producers, the duty-free limit for importation into the EU is increased over 1,300%, from 6,000 tons to 80,000 tons of duty-free pork products. The duty-free limit for beef products increases over 300%, from 15,000 tons

to 50,000 tons, as well as an extra 15,000 duty-free limit for high-quality beef products.

Our government has supported the three pillars of supply management system for the dairy and poultry sectors in this trade agreement.

The Federal Government will compensate supply managed producers if actual losses as a consequence of CETA are incurred.

CETA is by far, Canada’s most ambitious trade initiative, broader and deeper in scope than the historic

North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

“This agreement with the European Union is a big win for businesses and families across the Ottawa Valley,” confirmed MP Gallant. “In the months to come I look forward to working with our agricultural community to position local farmers to seize the opportunities arising from CETA.” For more information on CETA please, visit my website www.cherylgallant.com.

MP Gallant honours Afghanistan mission’s fallen Editor’s Note: Following is a press release from the office of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant.

Cheryl Gallant, M.P. for Renfrew-NipissingPembroke, stood today in the House of Commons to honour the 41 men and women from CFB Petawawa who lost their lives in the service of our country in Afghanistan.

“As November 11th approaches, it is important remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country,” said MP Gallant. “It is the role of the Government to provide the military with the proper equipment that delivered the best protection to them while they do their jobs, wherever we need them to be. Unlike previous governments, we are not playing politics with military procurement.”

STATEMENTS BY MEMBERS

Thursday, October 31st, 2013

Mrs. Cheryl Gallant (CPC, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke): “As November 11th approaches, I rise to remember 41 brave men and women from CFB Petawawa, who made the supreme personal sacrifice for their country as members of the Mission to Afghanistan.

“Lest we forget, it was the decision of the previous government to play politics with military procurement. The shortsighted cancellation of the Sea King helicopter replacement contract led to so many preventable casualties.

“By forcing our soldiers onto roads mined with bombs and improvised explosive devices, precious Canadian blood was spilt.

“Only after our Conservative government provided the right equipment, heavy lift Chinook helicopters, did casualty levels drop.

“Lest we forget, the Opposition continues to play politics with military procurement. Come next election, WE WILL REMEMBER!”

Federal boundary commission restores traditional name Following is a news release from the office of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant.

Cheryl Gallant, MP for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, was pleased to learn of the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for Ontario’s recent decision to restore the traditional name of the RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke riding.

“The Commission’s ruling demonstrates respect for the taxpayer, the constituents, and those residents in the District of Nipissing, who have been part of our community since

1979,” stated MP Gallant.

The Electoral Boundaries Commission had initially decided to drop ‘Nipissing’ from the riding name, while maintaining the current boundaries. Gallant appeared before the commission in November 2012 to share her own concerns and those of the residents of Renfrew-NipissingPembroke.

“As communities grow and develop there is often a need to rename and redraw electoral districts to ensure equitable representation for Canadians.

In this case the boundaries

did not change. With existing boundaries remaining intact, a renaming scheme does not represent a fair use of taxpayer dollars.” Riding redistricting entails significant financial costs at both the federal and provincial levels, including the changing of every reference in the House of Commons, disposal of letterhead, and alteration of websites.

“I want to thank everyone in the community who submitted letters opposing this change.

Their strong support is a testament to the sense of community in the Ottawa Valley.”

A new cadet year, Gatineau Vintage Wing Air Show and more Rachel Godin Renfrew Cadets 653 Squadron

Community - We kicked off the Cadet year with our annual Gatineau Vintage Wing air show on Saturday, Sept. 14.

This show brings together vintage warbirds and classic aircrafts form the golden age of aviation every year.

This year our Cadets had front row once again to this amazing show were they got to see such airplanes as the Hurricane, P-51 Mustang, Lancaster, Ultimate 10-200 Biplane, Golden Hawk F-86 flowned by Major Jeremy Hanson, some even got the chance to meet him afterwards and get his autograph, and one of the highlights of the day was to witness Carol Pilon the Wingwalker, a native of the Outaouais do an amazing performance.

Cadets participated in many different events that day and they were feed all for free.

The following weekend some participated in a fun-filled day of orienteering training on Calumet Islands in Quebec to get ready for the competi-

tion in Sudbury the weekend of Sept.

27 and 28.

Our eight cadets that made the team for the orienteering competition had a blast in Sudbury. They travelled first class in a coach bus and had a beautiful exciting Saturday.

Also, on Tuesday, Sept. 24, we had a special guest, 2nd Lieutenant Tucker Densmore, who spent the evening with us. A former cadet from our own squadron, here at 653 Champlain, he talked about what life has been like since 2009 due to the Cadet program and how much he enjoyed being a cadet.

Please visit our Facebook page for more pictures.

experience. She said using a microphone for the first time was her favourite part.

Another highlight of the assembly was a pie-eating contest run by Student Council.

A member from each homeroom got on stage and ate a pie as fast as they could in hopes of winning the most points for their homeroom team.

Neil Gibbons came away with the victory, winning additional points for his house colour.

Principal Hughes hopes to make the Assembly of Excellence a monthly event, in order to highlight all of the talent that walks the halls of RCI.

Annual Jag Hunt underway at St. Joseph’s High Abby Hall Jaguar Journal

Lifestyle - Hunting season has returned once again to St. Joe’s! This past Monday marked the beginning of the Jag Hunt, a school wide game where nobody is safe and everyone must watch their backs. The objective of the Jag Hunt is to catch your assigned partner with a clothespin before they catch you. The only way to survive is to be constantly checking over your shoulder!

St. Joe’s is collecting for a number of lo-

cal and international charities this season.

At the moment, new or gently used snowsuits, sweaters, boots and winter accessories can be dropped off at the school.

This warm clothing will be distributed by the Children’s Poverty Action Network to keep children warm throughout the winter.

The Pastoral team has been distributing shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child.

These boxes can be filled with small toys, hygiene items and trinkets.

At the end of November, these boxes will be sent across the world to children that will

not receive anything for Christmas.

Please note that due to a conflict with a sports tournament, the Fall Coffee House has been moved to Nov. 21 at 7 p.m. Admission is $5 at the door, which includes a bottomless cup of coffee or tea and an evening of entertainment. Treats will be on sale to support the Dominican Republic Team.

The Florida Fresh Citrus fundraiser orders have been sent in, and the orders are expected to arrive in early December. Thank you to all who have supported the Performing Arts program at SJHS!

The Assembly of Excellence is one of new principal Terry Hughes’ ideas for helping teach character education at RCI. “I think it is important for students to know how to treat people on stage,” says Hughes.

The assembly also gave students a chance to perform in a safe environment.

Notable performances were songs by Grade 12 student Saralyn Deslaurier and Grade 7 student Cameron Hunter who both received standing ovations.

Hunter, who sang Imagine

Rare spruce grouse in Admaston-Bromley

Bill and Bonnie Burwell have heard barred and eastern screech owls calling for the past few weeks.

The birds are claiming their winter territory and warning other owls to keep out.

A winter territory with an adequate food supply and protected roosting site are necessary if the owls are to survive.

Visual displays and behaviour are difficult to observe because most or all of these events take place at night.

It is therefore important to learn the auditory sounds the birds make to help identify them.

Barred owls give several calls but the most recognizable is their main call “who cooks for you, who cooks for you-all”.

Eastern screech owls also have several calls but the easiest one to

FEEDER WATCH

The next season for the Project FeederWatch Citizen Science program begins in just one week!

Share your observations about the birds coming to your feeders between November and April, and help reveal important patterns in bird numbers and distribution over time.

The FeederWatch website has a fresh look for the program’s 27th season as a North America-wide initiative, and offers new web tools to make participation and exploration even easier and more fun.

Phone 519-586-3531, write to Bird Studies Canada, Box 160, Port Rowan, Ontario N0E 1M0 or go to their web www.bsc-eco.org to participate.

CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT

Seems a bit early but it will creep up on us very quickly.

The event will take place on Dec. 14.

You may participate in two ways: as a field observer or a feeder observer.

For the field observers it is an all day affair, for the feeder observers it is a half hour event when the birds are the most active at your feeder.

There are very few birds to count so far this year but we feel it will improve.

Call us if you would like to participate.

News - Every fall there is an increase of wildlife activity on Ontario’s roadways that results in thousands of vehicle collisions with wild animals.

According to the Ontario Ministry of Transportation website, “Wild animals are unpredictable at all times.

However, there are two peak times when the risk of a collision is highest: May and June when animals seek road salt in ditches and try to escape biting insects and October to January during the fall mating and migration seasons.” The site also states that on average in Ontario, there is a collision every 38 minutes.

“Vehicle/wildlife collisions are higher in Ontario during the fall months because the breeding period is on, so animals are on the move and mating,” said OFAH provincial manager of Fish & Wildlife Services, Dr. Terry Quinney.

“Hunting, which is strictly regulated by the Ministry of Natural Resources, helps reduce the number of vehicle collisions caused by certain species, such as deer, moose and bear by reducing the density of big game animals.”

“There are some important driving tips to keep in mind when travelling through areas known for wildlife activity,” said Constable Bruce Hanna of Peterborough County OPP. “Be especially attentive at dusk and dawn. Deer are more active at this time and more difficult to see. Scan both ditches as you drive. Deer are powerful jumpers that can appear on the roadway with little or no warning.

Slow down and keep your vehicle speed at or below the posted speed limit and, most importantly, concentrate on your driving. Do not allow distractions to interfere with your focus.”

Lifestyle - Carol McCuaig saw a rare, for this area, spruce grouse this fall.

Unfortunately this grouse is very tolerant of humans and is often called the ‘fool hen’ because it allows humans and predators to approach within a few feet before it retreats.

This, more often than not leads to its demise.

The spruce grouse is a year-round resident from Algonquin Park north to Hudson Bay. It will wonder southward if food, mainly wild fruit, is plentiful as it is this year.

The habitat is in coniferous and mixed woodlands especially with a ground cover of blueberry, grasses, cranberry and honeysuckle.

Both male and female are territorial and defend their patch with determination.

A very dark, heavily barred, black and white grouse the same size as the ruffed variety. The female is more heavily barred than the male but he has a comb of red skin just above the eye.

Carol has also seen a rough-legged hawk, a house wren, horned larks and dark-eyed juncos.
