Horton seeks $2 million to rebuild Thomson Road Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Horton Township is seeking $2 million, from the new Small, Rural and Northern Municipal Infrastructure Fund (SRNMIF), to fix a dilapidated Thomson Road.

Earlier this year, Jp2G Consultants Inc. assessed the condition of Horton’s roads and determined that Thomson Road required the most attention, followed in order by Fraser Road and Thompsonville Road.

It’s “hugely important” that Horton gets the grant, largely because of

the condition of the road and two of its culverts, said Coun. Glen Campbell, who chairs Horton’s public works committee.

“Right now the road’s infrastructure is failing, and it needs attention.”

If the application is successful, Horton would spend $750,000, of which about $500,000 would be covered by a debenture.

“There’s good debt and there’s bad debt, and this would be the good kind,” said Campbell.

Horton would use the grant to reconstruct the worst 1.5 kilometres of

the road that’s more than five kilometres long. The remaining work would include resurfacing and culvert replacement.

“Thomson Road has been identified as our number one priority under our draft asset management plan, which will finalized by the end of the year,” said Horton chief administrative officer Mackie McLaren.

“It’s a road that we know is in need of repair. It was constructed in ’72 or ’73, so it has now outlived its useful life. And it’s a connecting link between Highway 17 and the Ottawa River, so it’s a well-travelled road,”

added McLaren.

In recent years, two major culverts have been replaced on Thomson Road, but other culverts now require serious attention, say township officials.

Also, County of Renfrew is planning to rebuild Lochwinnoch Road, which intersects Thomson Road, in the near future.

The condition of Thomson Road is plain to see, with alligator tracking, heaving and depressions, noted McLaren.

Supporters help clear path for Neat owners to work with officials sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News – An online campaign to save the Neat Coffee Shop in Burnstown has helped lead to tentative solutions to barriers the owners were facing in increasing liquor licence capacity.

“We would like to thank everyone who wrote, phoned or visited the township office for the fast and furious response to our call for help. We were in a dire situation. Our way forward was blocked. Your actions cleared a path that we are now on,” said Adam and Kim McKinty in a press release last week.

“Things are far from resolved and the path is still complicated. There’s nothing easy about what’s left to do. However, we feel we are now in a more col-

laborative situation with our township.”

Following a meeting Tuesday, Nov. 5 at the coffee shop, McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell said the group of stakeholders had arrived at possible short and long-term solutions to keep the business open in its current location.

ONLINE MOMENTUM

The campaign to save the Burnstown coffee shop and music room quickly gathered steam online on the Nov. 2-3 weekend and led to the Tuesday meeting between McNab-Braeside officials and the business owners.

Delays in township approvals for ongoing renovations are being blamed for the situation.

“Our Burnstown Coffee Shop and music room will need to

close/move in very short order if we don’t get a resolution to current delays in McNab-Braeside township approvals,” said an online message prior to the meeting from owners Adam and Kim McKinty, who urged the public to get involved.

“If this is of concern to you, we suggest that your opinions on the matter are needed. Share as you see fit.”

In March Neat owners completed renovations that they hoped would secure a 148-person occupancy for the venue.

“Approval is hung up on a post build re-designation of our mezzanine as a second floor,” explained the McKintys.

Mayor Campbell attempted to provide an update to the public and a handful of Neat supporters at the Nov. 5 township council meeting but was

stopped by councillors who said they needed more information and possibly legal advice before discussing the issue publicly.

“I want it on record I’m not comfortable (discussing it),” said Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie.

“I do believe we are opening up ourselves to legal ramifications.”

Coun. Aldene Styles agreed.

“I appreciate the community coming out (to the meeting), but they have to realize this is new coming in tonight. There are some legal procedures taking place and I don’t feel comfortable myself discussing it,” she said.

Renfrew is looking for a chunk of change from Ontario’s Small, Rural and Northern Municipal Infrastructure Fund.

The new fund has $71 million available, and Renfrew development and works director Mike Asselin hopes the Province responds positively to Renfrew’s application to do substantial work on Lisgar Avenue (Highway 132) at the west end of town.

This money became available Oct. 1, 2013 for capital projects.

Applicants can ask for up to 90 per cent of a project’s total value, and that’s what Renfrew is doing.

The maximum grant is $2 million. Renfrew’s application, which was completed by the early-November deadline, asks for about $1.9 million.

Ontario communities once got money for road improvements on provincial highways that link into municipalities. That connecting-links program was recently discontin-

ued, but this is a potential replacement.

The Province says it will look more favourably at applications from communities whose asset management programs are in good order, which is the case for Renfrew.

Renfrew council passed a resolution Oct. 28 that commits Renfrew to having its comprehensive asset management plan in place

by Dec. 31, 2013.

The same plan, says council, will be publicly available, and includes placement on the town’s website, by May 30, 2014.

If the town receives funding, the Lisgar Avenue project would have to be completed

by Dec. 31, 2015.

If Renfrew is successful, Mayor Bill Ringrose says annual federal gas tax revenue would provide for a good portion of its financial share.

Town treasurer Keray O’Reilly said successful applications must display a need for the requested funds, and that communities such as Renfrew are in a far better position to receive provincial funding than those with no debt.

O’Reilly says some level of debt suggests a community has shown some commitment to upgrading its own infrastructure.

Dillon Consulting, which did a comprehensive evaluation of the town’s infrastructure needs a few years ago, says certain sections of Lisgar Avenue require immediate attention.

As an arterial road, there’s an expectation for a higher level of service, said Asselin.

In preparation, Renfrew has hired an Ottawa company (exp) to scope out Lisgar Avenue’s deficiencies and design needs.

“It’s a big project,” said Asselin. “We’re looking at more than a kilometre and a half (from Raglan through to Munroe, Lochiel and Lisgar, to the town border).”

“Some sections are worse than others, so some will be overlays … and some will require base reconstruction.”

The extensive reconstruction project on Queen Street, noted Asselin, is essentially tying up Renfrew’s capital roads funds for 2013 and 2014, “so I feel the municipality has to take a shot at this project.”

A difference in the interpretation in fire code legislation between the architect and fire officials will need to be addressed to help Neat reach the eventual goal of 148-person occupancy.

Neat Coffee Shop considers the space above the café portion of the building to be a mezzanine, while the Fire Marshal’s office says it’s a second storey requiring another exit.

White and Gahan will work together and look at ways around the problem.

“They’ll be looking at alternatives acceptable to the Fire Marshal’s Office,” said Campbell.

The McKintys can and will likely appeal the original ruling, said the mayor.

Air Force Association and cadets honour fallen lucy.hass@metroland.com

The Canadian flag rippled in the wind at the Royal Canadian Air Force Memorial Park Sunday morning as the Royal Canadian Air Force Association, 433 (Champlain) Wing celebrated its 2013 Remembrance service.

After O Canada, president Dan Duchene paid tribute to veterans and fallen comrades. “Their sacrifice will ever inspire us to labour on, to the end, so that those who survive and need our aid may be assured of assistance and that the country in which we live, and

for which they died, may be ever worthy of the sacrifice they made.

Duchene asked those gathered in the park to also remember the peackeeping forces around the world who continue to serve throughout the world, and those who “serve and protect at home in our communities.�

After The Last Post and two minutes of silence, Piper Brian Brown played The Lament.

President Duchene read The Act of Remembrance: “They shall grow not old, as we who are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

we will remember them..�

To which the gathering responded: “We will remember them.�

After the playing of Reveille, wreaths were laid by the Royal Canadian Air Force Association 433 (Champlain) Wing.

Warrant Officer 2nd Class Alex Cremer from 653 Champlain Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron lay a wreath on behalf of the Squadron The tribute verse High Flight was read by first vice-president Marie Wojcik, and benediction followed by president Duchene.

The ceremony closed with God Save the Queen, and a light lunch at the Wing.

Rook remembers Canadians’ contribution in his native land Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Dirk Rook has lived in Canada since emigrating from Holland in 1953.

When approached to speak at the Bromley Veterans Remembrance Day Ceremony in Douglas this year, Rook was asked to answer the question: How do we remember?

Every time Rook and his wife return to their native land, he visits a military cemetery as a way to remember and say thank-you to the Canadian soldiers who gave their lives so that Holland might be free.

“That’s where it hits you, how you remember,” said Rook of his visits to the military sites.

“The lives it cost, it’s amazing.”

Having spoken before about his personal war memories while growing up in Holland, this time the Admaston-Bromley councillor retold the war story of two Canadian soldiers.

Both had volunteered to scout out Zwolle, to determine how many Germans were in the city of about 50,000 residents.

One of Rook’s visits, about five years ago, was to the grave site of soldier Willy Arsenault, a Canadian whose death he learned about as a young adult.

Arsenault was shot dead on April 13, 1945 while advancing with fellow Montreal soldier Leo Major, who that night shot four German soldiers.

Major went on, alone, to disarm about 15 Germans, leaving no enemy soldiers to occupy the city.

The strong connection for Rook, who’s now in his late 70s, was that the story happened about eight kilometres from where he was living at the time, and less than 50 km. from the German border.

Major is no longer alive, having died in 2010, but he’s a prime example of what Rook remembers each Remembrance Day – the sacrifice of Canadian soldiers in war time.

As per tradition, several wreaths were laid at the cenotaph beside St. Michael’s Catholic School, before the Cobden Royal Canadian Legion hosted the service in the school under the direction of emcee Kevin O’Gorman. The lifetime member of the Cobden Legion is also

“She makes sure to have a varied, delicious and healthy diet for us. Her staff is also pleasant and very helpful.”

Guest speaker Dirk Rook the son of Peter O’Gorman, who fought in and survived the First World War. Earlier, wreaths were laid outdoors by students Ryan Donohue and Landon Bennett of Cobden Public School, and Bailey McIntyre and Katie McGrath of St. Michael’s.

Wreaths were also laid on behalf of MP Cheryl Gallant, MPP John Yakabuski, Renfrew County, Admaston-Bromley, Bromley Veterans, Cobden Legion, Garrison Petawawa, Douglas Ladies Orange Lodge, Douglas Lions Club and Bromley Historical Society.

The service’s opening prayer was by Rev. James Min of Cobden United Church. He thanked God for the peace and security Canadians enjoy because of the freedom won at such a high cost.

There was also a recitation of In Flanders Fields by Cobden Public School and St. Michael’s Catholic School students.

The closing prayer was by Rev. Ingrid Condet-Bennett of the Zion United Church in Douglas.

“May we never forget the sacrifice of the veterans and soldiers who put themselves in harm’s way so that we can live in peace and freedom,” she said.

“And as we lead our lives in a country that offers so many blessings, may our Son’s gospel message of peace burn ever more brightly in our hearts, in our words, our actions, and may they lead all to fullness of life in you.”

Opinion - Renfrew and area has long been recognized as a kind and generous community.

Now it adds another distinction to its long list of benevolent gestures.

The Trillium Gift of Life Network (TGLN) recently announced that 50 hospitals are working with them to promote and create a positive culture of organ and tissue donation in Ontario. That represents an increase of almost 30 per cent from a year ago.

The organ transplant network notes that by next year all 60 hospitals in Ontario with the capacity to facilitate organ donation will notify TGLN when a patient has died or is at high risk for imminent death, to ensure all potential opportunities for donation are identified.

bury, Essex, East-Central Prescott and Cornwall.

By visiting www.BeADonor.ca people can access new data showing that, as of Sept. 30, 24 per cent or 2.78 million Ontarians have registered their consent to save lives through organ and tissue donation.

That represents an increase of 57,806 registrations since June 30, 2013.

The tragedy of death is clear and painful. But in the face of sorrow, transplant can throw a hopeful and shining light into another life.

One donor can save up to eight lives and enhance the lives of up to 75 more through the gift of tissue.

As of Sept. 30, there were 1,483 people in Ontario waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant.

It is not surprising that a community so committed to caring for others often carries that generous spirit through to the very end of life.

COMMENTARY

Five ways to stop the next Senate expense scandal from happening Gregory Thomas

Opinion - Now that the RCMP are investigating, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty much guaranteed that the Senate expense scandal will have a devastating impact on the people involved. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canada that has suffered the worst damage in this scandal. Thankfully itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s repairable.

When MPs return from their summer break, they need to take five basic steps to restore public confidence in Parliament.

First, they need to submit themselves to the authority of the Auditor General of Canada.

In 2012, after public outcry forced Parliamentarians to finally agree to let the AG examine the operations of the House and the Senate, they sneakily handed him a blindfold before they let him on the premises.

In his report, the Auditor General conceded that â&#x20AC;&#x153;we did not audit the Board of Internal Economy or Members of Parliament and the work performed by Membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; employees or consultants in their Ottawa or constituency offices.

Nor did we audit the procurement of professional services contracts awarded by individual Members.â&#x20AC;?

OKâ&#x20AC;Ś well what did they audit then? The auditors reviewed just 264 of 85,000 financial transactions processed that year.

In the wake of the expense scandal, Senator Marjory LeBreton, on behalf of the Senate,

The Renfrew Mercury 35 Opeongo Road, Renfrew, Ontario , c/o 80 Colonnade Rd. N. Unit 4, Nepean ON K2E 7L2

asked the Auditor General to examine â&#x20AC;&#x153;every taxpayer dollarâ&#x20AC;? the Senate spends. But when Liberal leader Justin Trudeau asked the House simply to approve drawing up guidelines for the Auditor General to look at MPs spending, his motion was shot down â&#x20AC;&#x201C; by the NDP, no less.

Second, MPs and Senators need to post their expense claims and the supporting receipts online. Alberta MLAs are doing it, so are Toronto city councillors. The technology for posting documents on the internet was developed 20 years ago.

Third, MPs and Senators need to make themselves subject to federal Access to Information law.

Currently, Canadians canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compel federal politicians to produce financial documents, such as expense claims, under the Access to Information and Privacy Act. This is critical: access requests revealed former Conservative minister Bev Odaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wild spending in London, including her taxpayerfunded $16 glass of orange juice. Cabinet ministers and their expenses are subject to disclosure under the access law. MPs and Senators and their expenses are not.

Perhaps thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one reason why it took seven years for the RCMP to lay charges against former Liberal MP Joe Fontana.

The Mounties are alleging that Fontana paid for his sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wedding reception with a govern-

ment cheque.

If MPs and Senators were subject to access to information laws, Joe Fontana and Mike Duffy would have been forced to answer awkward questions from reporters and opposition leaders long before the RCMP showed up.

Step four, critical in a democracy: empower Canadians to recall crooked politicians, the way they can in British Columbia, and boot them from office.

Step five, cancel the pension entitlements for politicians convicted in court of stealing from the public, the way they have in Nova Scotia. Canadians shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to put up with the spectacle of former Senator Raymond Lavigne, collecting his Parliamentary pension while he sits in jail for submitting fraudulent expense claims.

Conservative MP John Williamson has tabled a private memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill to eliminate pensions for political fraudsters.

Prime Minister Harper would be well served to steal this private memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill and push it as a government bill.

Undoubtedly, there are more than five things Parliament could do to ensure future scandals are kept to a minimum, but they need to start somewhere. These five steps should be top of the agenda.

HORTON

Connected to your community

Couple impressed by council’s flexibility steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Joan and Rick Hughes will get to build their summer cabin, after all.

Horton council was in position to turn down a re-zoning request, when the Hughes looked to build a sleeping cabin beside their cottage on Garden Lake Trail.

Mayor Don Eady was sick, and Coun.

Bob Kingsbury was unable to attend the Oct. 1 council meeting, leaving council with just three councillors, but enough for a quorum.

Two of those councillors, Margaret Whyte and Glen Campbell, weren’t prepared to support the request, largely because there has been a history in Horton Township of similar requests that have resulted in larger-

than-anticipated construction projects; in other words, cabins that actually became second cottages.

But Whyte and Campbell suggested the vote be postponed a month, and held Nov. 5 when all council members would likely be present.

They were, as Whyte and Campbell opposed the application. However, the motion was passed 3-2, with support from Mayor Eady and councillors Kingsbury and Jamey Larone.

“That was very kind of them,” said Joan Hughes of council’s decision to postpone the vote for the benefit of the applicants.

The Hughes, who live in Braeside, use their cottage as a seasonal residence, but say they wish to build the cabin to accommodate visits by their three adult-age children

and grandchildren.

The Hughes plan to build the facility in the spring of 2014. Bylaw 2013-43 provides for zoning of limited service residential.

Normal residential zoning allows for one residential building per property.

As Coun. Whyte said, “Until we change our bylaw to reflect that use, in principle I want to stick to what the bylaw says.”

The cabin, to be located about 40 feet from the cottage on the approximately oneacre property, will have a maximum of 34 square metres in floor area.

Cooking will not be allowed in the cabin, and a maximum of one septic system (for the cottage and cabin) will be permitted.

Therefore washrooms at the cabin will have to be connected to the cottage’s existing septic system.

Grant to improve Horton snowmobile corridor steve.newman@metroland.com

News - A successful grant application to the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) will allow improvements to Horton Township’s snowmobile corridor along the abandoned Canadian National railway line.

The Renfrew portion, the Millennium Trail, extends southeast of Renfrew and through the intersections of Lime Kiln, Whitton, Goshen and Yantha roads.

There are about 11 kilometres of Horton trail between its Renfrew and McNab-Braeside

borders.

The OFSC grant was received after Andy Kenopic applied on behalf of OFSC’s District 6.

Benefits of the grant, explained Horton Coun. Glen Campbell at the Nov. 5 meeting of Horton council, will include brush-hogging to provide 20 feet of clearance (from the centre line of the trail) on both sides.

Brush-hogging will also provide clearance 100 feet wide at each of the trail’s intersections. These wedgecuts will narrow to 40 feet at the trail. There will also be funds to repair trail signs, said

Campbell.

The work is being contracted out to GP Splinter of Pembroke.

The grant will also supply gravel for grading and fill on the trail bridge overpass behind Thompson Trailer Park.

Following the brush-hogging, volunteers will ensure that removed vegetation and branches that are not turned into sawdust will be removed from adjoining properties.

A chipper can accommodate tree branches up to eight inches in diameter.

The grant is “going to give us a cleaner and more open trail, and increased safety for

users,” said Campbell.

Campbell couldnot confirm the exact amount of the grant.

By cleaning up the trail, perhaps the township can also consider using the venue for scheduled recreational activities, he adds.

During summer months, large cement blocks prevent vehicle access to the trail, but Campbell says a second grant application will be made to fund lighter-weight gates.

The concern has been expressed that those unfamiliar with the area may not see these concrete slabs if driving in poorer lighting conditions, before or after the snowmobile season.

(3"/% 306/%4 Kick off the festive season in downtown Renfrew on December 6 Spread a heap of holiday cheer and feel the warmth of community spirit come alive by joining us for the 22nd annual RVH Tree of Lights event.

Mark your calendar to be in Low Square on Friday, December 6 at 6 p.m. as, together, we will celebrate with the lighting of the giant blue spruce tree to signal the official launch of the 2013 RVH Tree of Lights giving campaign.

Renfrew and area residents will soon be receiving an official invite in the mail featuring a familiar scene as depicted by local artist Joanne Beattie Kalimeris. She has painted the Scott and Sons Hardware Ltd. storefront from 2011, which marked the 95th anniversary of the family-owned and operated business as a landmark in downtown Renfrew. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not Christmas in Renfrew until Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s window is decorated,â&#x20AC;? says Beattie Kalimeris who can remember window shopping for her Christmas gifts at Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as a little girl.

The feature artwork is very fitting as store owner Jeff Scott enjoys the glow of the tree lights in his store front each Christmas. Beattie Kalimeris approached Scott about her intentions of capturing the window as it was decorated that year and he was thrilled to have the family store illustrated by the artist and her paintbrush.

Both were elated when the image was selected by the Foundation to appear on this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tree of Lights Christmas card.

The collaboration between Beattie Kalimeris and Scott in this project has provided an opportunity for them to join forces and support a cause that is near to the Scott familyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;RVHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Assisted Living Program.

The program, which was implemented at RVH in March 2011, provides care for 20 seniors who would otherwise be institutionalized. Clients have full access to hospital infrastructure including a 24-hour switchboard and around-the-clock nursing and medical expertise.

Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father relied on the unique program, which allowed him to be cared for in his own home in the final eight months of his life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Otherwise he would have had to have been in the hospital that entire time,â&#x20AC;? notes Scott.

Following his passing, Jeff wondered about what he could do help support and create awareness about the wonderful program and its services.

He now has prints available at the store for sale, with all proceeds going to the RVH Foundation. Scott will also share his personal story and what it meant to his family at the celebration on December 6.

Christene Ferguson, RVH Vice-President of Patient Care Services, says that funds raised from this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign will cover

any expenses above and beyond the operating budget for the Assisted Living Program.

This will allow the personal support workers (PSW) to attend educational workshops to enhance their skills and will help with equipping each PSW with a laptop for easier and more efficient online patient reporting.

Donations will also be directed to the capital operating budget at RVH, with an emphasis on covering any expense within the Assisted Living Program as needs arise, she comments.

December marks the 25th anniversary of the RVH Foundation. The Tree of Lights campaign is the only direct fundraising campaign of the year for our community hospital and we appreciate your ongoing support. We look forward to seeing you and your family at the festivities next month!

Immature rough-legged hawk hunting near Douglas Lifestyle - Kyle Van Voezik was able to get a close-up photo of an immature rough-legged hawk near Douglas. This hawk, the largest of our buteos, only bald and golden eagles are larger, is an extremely rare breeder south of line between Sault St. Marie and Mattawa and is a rare to uncommon visitor here from September to early November.

The best field marks of this large hawk are its size, dark brown underparts and its habit of hovering when hunting by flapping upwind to hold its position.

Once it spots a prey

JIM FERGUSON Scene from the Hawk’s Eye species, lemmings, voles or mice it descends in stages of 10 yards at as time until it is a few yards above its prey and then drops like a stone to make the catch.

In prosperous years when food is plentiful a pair may raise as many as seven chicks, in poor years nests often fail entirely.

When snow cover is light and food is

plentiful this hawk will remain with us through the winter.

In 2006 and 2007, 45 and 23 roughlegged hawks were counted respectively during the Christmas Bird Count.

In 2009 and 10, years of deep snow and cold temperatures none were counted.

We will see what this year’s conditions will bring.

MALE PURPLE FINCH

KYLE VAN WOEZIK

An immature rough-legged hawk.

Jane Hunter sent us an email describing the behaviour of a male purple finch this past summer.

Jane’s hummingbird feeder and her seed feeder were close together. The male finch brought his off-spring to the seed feeder and remained as the young bird fed. When any hummingbird came to the hummingbird feeder the male finch would chase them away.

Jane also described an average summer for hummingbirds and a very good summer for hornets, large

ones. Bees, hornets and wasps as well as many bird species and some animals, bears for example, have a sweet tooth and will feed from hummingbird feeders. We welcome the birds but do not like having the “stingers”.

after having watched the crows with binoculars.

Ravens cache food, particularly fat, es-

pecially if the bird is hungry and the fat is available. However, if a human inspects the raven’s cache it will

not hide food again while under observation.

See HAWK’S EYES, page 52

BIRDS CACHE FOOD

Many birds cache food for the winter.

Whether they remember where the food is hidden is not fully known but what is known is that some species are better at finding their caches than others.

Red- bellied woodpeckers carefully cache food in the fall, acorns, poison ivy berries, insects and seeds from feeders.

Pileated woodpeckers learn to search in areas recently worked over by red-bellies and will pilfer any stored food, especially insects. Red-bellies are particularly good at finding food they have cached.

Food caching by crows is not often seen in the wild. In one reported instance two crows cached nuts in a lawn. They spent 10 minutes on each cache to select a site, hammer in the nuts and cover them with bits of grass all the time appearing to shield their sites

Admaston-Bromley mayor back on the job Greater Madawaska Peter Clark

peter.clark@metroland.com

News - Admaston-Bromley Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe made her return to council chambers following hip surgery, and was more than pleased to be back.

“Although my mobility was horrible and is still not perfect, I found it very difficult not to be, what I call, at work,” Mayor Briscoe said Nov. 7.

“I had a lot of help from staff and council to keep in the loop, but it was clear to me, I was not involved the way I should be.”

The mayor noted she can’t drive yet, and still has a real mountain to climb. “I’ve started physiotherapy, and I hope to be running to meetings by the end of September.”

Mayor Briscoe said the support she and husband John received from this community and beyond was tremendous.

“While I was a patient at the Ottawa General Hospital, I had an amazing number of visitors, and while I was at Renfrew Victoria Hospital for five, almost six weeks, “I was absolutely overwhelmed with the visitors that I received, and the kind thoughts and cards and letters of sup-

port,” she said.

She said the medical support she received at both hospitals “was absolutely first class. Our health-care system serves us when we need it, and returns us to as good of health as anyone could ask for.” She also said a special thank-you to DeputyMayor Dirk Rook for running the meetings.

The Admaston Township Public School Parent Council sent a letter to Renfrew County, asking for the speed limit to be reduced.

A copy of the letter was sent to Admaston-Bromley council as well.

WIFI ACCESS JULY ST. PATTY’S A SUCCESS

The WiFi access at the Stone Road municipal office is now available, clerk treasurer Annette Louis noted.

It is an open access, the same as the Admaston-Bromley Public Library in Douglas, which was activated in 2011.

“Anyone who wishes to access the Internet service can search for the network name ABTwp,” Louis said. No password is required. The new connection was tested in the parking lot at the front of the office building and in the council chambers without any difficulties, she added.

Dates for the 2014 Douglas Frosty Fun have been confirmed – Feb. 7, 8 and 9.

Livestock claims as of Sept.

FIRE SAFETY SUPPORT

TENDERS

The township will invest $100 as a supporting partner in the Douglas Fire Department fire safety initiative Protecting Kids for Life.

The program is in partnership with Community Safety Net. Fire prevention officer Bill McHale and his team are giving Grade 3 and 4 students at the two schools a copy of the fire safety-smart choices for life interactive and family book.

Rural safety-smart choices for life books and DVDs will also be given to families during the spring farm safety venue.

The goal is to protect about 150 children and families with a three-year supply of Smart Choices resources.

BUILDING PERMITS

There were three building permits in the township in October for a total of $75,000.

There was also one sewage permit and one demolition permit.

News - Greater Madawaska Township sent out a Request For Proposal (RFP) in September for a cleaning contract/custodian for the cleaning of municipal buildings in the township.

Council was informed that proposals received were larger than original estimates.

In looking at possible alternatives, it is believed travel would play a large role in these higher costs.

The township instead will split the original proposal into two.

One proposal will be for buildings in the Calabogie area of the township, and the other for the Griffith area.

Cut-off date for the RFP in both cases is Monday, Nov. 18 at 4 p.m.

Interested parties can contact land use planner Marko Cekic at the township office, 19 Parnell St. Calabogie, or call 613-752-

The township has accepted the bid from GroBark (Ontario) Ltd. for the grinding of brush at the Norway Lake Transfer Station. A large pile of brush and debris remains at the transfer station site from the macro bust of July 23, 2012.

Gro-Bark was selected at a cost of $21,187.50.

Gro-Bark’s tender was well under half the total of the other bid.

“Gro-Bark has a need for that product when it is all ground up,” public works manager Jamie Doering explained of the bid difference.

The township also requested tenders for expanding Black Donald Pit, located across from the landfill. Bids of $43,000 and $45,000 were rejected, with only $10,000 in the budget at this time. Council will look into budgeting this project in 2014.

Single voucher replaces pair of free dump days Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - So much for Horton Township’s two free dump days.

In 2014, property owners will have one free voucher that allows for dropping off waste, including construction and demolition waste, at the Horton landfill.

As of January 2014, there will no longer be two free dump days.

During the Oct. 17 meeting of the waste management committee, several alternatives to eliminating the township’s two free dump days were made.

Public works manager Janet Collins noted that many municipalities al-

ready have just one free dump day, while others provide a free special pickup of bulky items.

The free-dumping voucher will be good for one day of dumping up to a half a ton of garbage per single-unit residential dwelling. For multi-residential buildings, there will be one voucher per five units.

There will be no free vouchers for institutional, commercial and industrial properties. Nor will the vouchers be provided to those who lease or rent property.

This waste must be dropped off in a half-ton truck or trailer equivalent.

Coun. Jamey Larone,

No cost now, maybe $1,666 later

POSSIBLE COSTS Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Coun. Jamey Larone discusses the township’s new program of vouchers for landfill users. At left is Coun. Bob Kingsbury. who chairs the waste management committee, said the cost of waste management is getting expensive.

“We’re not trying to alienate residents, we’re trying to make waste management affordable,” he said.

By eliminating the free dump days, it is hoped residents will recycle more

and sort their waste more responsibly.

The vouchers will expire Dec. 31 of each year, and will not be usable the following year.

The vouchers can only be used during regular operating hours at the landfill site.

Boat launch fixings, construction numbers improve Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Vandals recently burnt part of Horton’s Bonnechere River boat launch by starting a fire on the deck.

A few boards will have to be replaced before next season. Adjustments will also have to be made to the dock to prevent scratching of boats by chains that were holding the dock in place. Recreation program director Kathleen Rogers expects this can be easily rectified with the placement of used tires.

Also, one Horton resident asked if those living on the river could be given free passes for putting their boat into the river in the spring and taking it out again in the fall.

Rogers explained that the parking-pass system was implemented two years ago to cover maintenance and operation costs.

The one-day parking passes can be purchased at www.hortontownship.ca or at the boat launch.

About 60 fines were issued last summer,

Greater Madawaska, Madawaska Valley, Head, Clara & Maria and Bonnechere Valley.

A potential seventh member is AdmastonBromley.

Last year, Horton received $28,000, or 33 per cent of its blue box costs, from Waste Diversion Ontario.

If Horton entirely met provincial targets for recycling, that amount would be closer to $38,000, says Horton chief administrative officer Mackie McLaren.

for parking at the launch without a validation ticket visible on one’s vehicle windshield. As of Nov. 5, 15 fines had not been paid. $6 MILLION IN CONSTRUCTION

The value of construction in 2013 has surpassed last year’s totals.

Ten construction starts in October worth $501,000 brought this year’s total to $6,892,500.

Most of this worked consisted of renovations or additions for 17 residences, construction of 12 new houses and work on 20 garages or storage facilities.

Horton’s total construction value was $6,814,000 in 2012 and $6.1 million in 2011. $17,500 DEPOSIT RETURNED

Joel and Sherri Elliott have returned Horton’s $17,500 deposit for purchasing their property at 25 Farrell’s Landing

Road. The deposit was made in case the township decided to develop the property as a beachfront facility.

The deposit was returned after the recent appraisal turned out to be $50,000 lower than what the owners were looking for.

Horton is also considering the former Timbertown property as a possible site for a beach or other recreational activities.

DOCUMENT SCANNING

A Gananoque company, which does work for the Town of Renfrew, has asked if Horton wants its old records scanned and digitized.

Horton financial manager Jennifer Barr says there’s no room in the 2013 budget for the work by Image Advantage.

But finance committee members are suggesting the first phase of the multi-year project be included in the 2014 draft budget.

The cost of the project could be more than $30,000

News - Horton Township is entering into an agreement, with a consortium of six or seven municipalities, for a bestpractices blue box study.

The study will be done

by Joe Hall of Reddi Recycling Inc. to determine the extent to which best practices can reduce local landfill and/or increase recycling revenue.

The consortium consists of Horton, Renfrew,

If recommendations from the study are not followed up, Horton would have to pay its one-si xth share of the $10,000 cost of the study, or $1,666.66.

One focus of the study is to determine how much it would cost each township to meet the provincial targets.

The study was approved by the Community Improvement Fund, which is an arm of Waste Diversion Ontario.

Thomson Road Continued from front

“It’s our second time around,” said McLaren, after Horton unsuccessfully applied this year for $600,000 for Thomson Road, from a different Ontario infrastructure fund.

FOURTH ATTEMPT

“Bear in mind, though, that it took a fourth attempt before we got funds to do Garden of Eden Road and Pinnacle Road. So we’re hopeful. We are getting ready with the expenditures we passed tonight (Nov. 5), so we are shelf-ready.”

One expenditure was approval to spend up to $7,500, from the Move Ontario reserve, to complete the application.

The second expenditure calls for spending an estimated $22,951 (including HST) for aerial photography, ground control and digital mapping. This would help complete the application and provide a base for engineering design work on Thomson Road.

By doing the project in conjunction with Boundary Road, the township will save more than $900. The $22,951 will be taken from gas tax and Move Ontario reserves.

GOT BIGGER!

CHEO'S CARE MAKES LIFE EASIER FOR LOGAN'S FAMILY

Logan Charbonneau

Like most six-year-olds, Logan Charbonneau has a zest for life. He plays hockey with the West Nipissing Sting in his home town of Sturgeon Falls, Ontario and loves to play with Lego blocks.

He loves his school, and although he can be shy when he meets new people, he always ends up loving them.

After being seen in CHEO’s Emergency department, Logan was admitted to CHEO’s 4 West medical unit where he was diagnosed with a general failure to thrive. Children who fail to thrive don't receive or are unable to take in, retain, or use the calories needed to gain weight and grow as expected.

Logan was adopted at birth. At three years old, he was diagnosed with both autism spectrum disorder and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. His parents, Tammy and Jeff, say that two of his major challenges are difficulties with sleeping and eating.

For the past three years Logan has been struggling with his diet. “He has no appetite at all,” explains his father. “He would go days without asking for food.” Logan simply has not been eating enough and this has affected his overall health. His growing body needs nourishment to thrive.

Still struggling with his lack of appetite and having lost a significant amount of weight, the CHEO team wanted to find a solution that would help Logan receive the daily nourishment he needs to stay healthy and grow, as well as regain weight — all while letting him live as normal a life as possible. After testing and consultations, Logan had surgery to have a gastrotomy tube (also known as a g-tube) inserted in his stomach. A gastrotomy tube is inserted through the abdomen and delivers nutrition directly to the stomach.

Recently Logan began to complain about pain in his abdomen. For a child who doesn’t complain, this was worrisome. A trip to the local Emergency room in Sturgeon Falls ruled out physical ailments, but the problem didn’t go away. The hospital’s pediatrician suggested Logan should be seen at CHEO.

After a four week stay at CHEO, Logan was well enough to go home to Sturgeon Falls. To prepare for their return back home and the required follow ups, the family connected with CHEO pediatrician, Dr. Ann Rowan-Legg, who knew their doctor back home. Dr. Rowan-Legg provided the support and medical follow up required for a smooth and thorough transition.

Jeff and Tammy were very impressed with the level of care and concern shown at CHEO.

“

“From the minute we walked into the Emergency department it’s been an amazing experience,” remembers Jeff. “They’re kind. They’re thorough.

They ask a lot of questions and they answer all of our questions.”

From the minute we walked into the Emergency department it’s been an amazing experience.

”

“She not only put the wheels in motion, she made sure it was done at a pace that we’re comfortable with,” says Jeff. “It’s all based on what’s best for Logan.” The medical team consulted with the support services they use in Sturgeon Falls to make sure they were set up to take care of Logan when the family went home.

“The only thing we’re concerned about while we’re here is him. The rest is taken care of by CHEO,” says Jeff. Tammy adds, “They’ve been one step ahead.”

Logan’s home life will change a little bit but within a few months he should be back to the same active life. Now his parents know that he’ll have all the nourishment he needs.

“There have been times in hockey he couldn’t even finish a game because he was too tired,” says Tammy. Teasing Logan, she adds, “Now you can get strong for hockey!” Thanks to CHEO, Logan can look forward to hockey and so much more.

DUSTY DRIFTERS

The Dusty Drifters bluegrass band will be playing at Delicious, 17 Renfrew Ave. W. in Renfrew Saturday, Nov. 16 from 7 to 10 p.m. The band includes Renfrew’s John Steele on banjo, at right. Tickets cost $15 with $5 from each going to support Hospice Renfrew.

Bluegrass for Hospice Saturday night Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Lifestyle - If you’re up for a night of fine music while supporting a good cause at the same time, Delicious on Renfrew Avenue West is the place to be this Saturday night.

The Dusty Drifters bluegrass band will be on stage from 7 to 10 p.m.

Tickets cost $15 with $5 from each going to Hospice Renfrew.

The Dusty Drifters bluegrass band exploded onto the Ottawa bluegrass scene in 2010, and introduced a whole generation of fans to bluegrass through their packed Sunday

night house gig, which ran for more than three years, band member John Steele of Renfrew noted.

A favourite at Ontario bluegrass festivals, the Dusty Drifters display a passion for traditional bluegrass, freshly delivered with strong harmonies and exceptional instrumental stylings.

“I joined the band when it started,” Steele added. “That involved me taking my banjo out from under the bed, after a 25 year hiatus from playing it.

“We recorded a self-titled CD which has been received well by the bluegrass community, and has gained the band several nominations this year

by the Central Canadian Bluegrass Association, including Album of the Year, and Instrumental Group of the Year.

Band members are Paul Roberto, guitar and vocals; Gilles Leclerc, mandolin; Stuart Rutherford, dobro; John Steele, banjo; and Brent Weatherall, bass.

Earlier on Saturday, the band will also be appearing on CJHR Radio 98.7 for their Kitchen Party Live from 1 to 2 p.m.

“So if anyone would like to hear the beauty of real acoustic music, please join us at Delicious on Nov. 16,” Steele adds. Call 613-432-6899 for more information.

Our significant growth and impressive list of corporate, charitable and non-profit partners is a testament to how we do business.

I would like to thank everyone for the wonderful care I received while I was a patient in the Arnprior, General, Civic and Pembroke Hospitals including the 911 operator and the paramedics who were so kind.

The nurses’ thoughtfulness and compassionate care was greatly appreciated. The Arnprior nursing staff was especially considerate and the people preparing and delivering the meals were great.

You all made my weeks in the hospital so much easier.

We wish to extend our deepest gratitude to all the family, friends and neighbours who supported us in the recent loss of our dear husband, father and grandfather Russell Walker MacKenzie. The generous donations in remembrance of Russell to the RVH and the pipe band are much appreciated.

The demonstration of love in gifts of food, flowers, phone calls and time will never be forgotten. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the pipers and the Renfrew Highlands Pipes and Drums band that stood proudly in respect of Russ’s memory; he would have been overwhelmed with this honour. Although the past two years have been challenging and often sad, we wish to acknowledge and thank so much the wonderful group of care givers at Groves Park Lodge who provided special care to Russ and were always supportive of our family.

In loving memory of my beautiful wife Janet who left unexpectedly Nov 15,2007 As I look upon your picture; Sweet memories I recall.

Of a face so full of sunshine; A smile for one and all.

Though your smile is gone forever; And your hand I cannot touch.

I shall never lose sweet memories; Of the love we once shared.

Forever in my thoughts and always in my heart.

EGGERSTEDT, Fredrick “Fred” On November 5, 2013, Fred Eggerstedt of Grande Prairie passed away at the age of 51 years. Fred is survived by his beloved wife, Cyndi; children: Robert, Danyl, Chrystifer, Thomas, Dylan and Khloe; mother, Helene; sisters: Sandra Eggerstedt, Susan (Leonard) Hudder and Sheri (John) Vanderlinden; as well as numerous other relatives and friends. Fred was predeceased by his father, Friedo; and his grandparents.

Fred was born in Arnprior, Ontario and grew up in Braeside with his parents, Helene and Friedo; and sisters: Sandra, Susan and Sheri. He attended Braeside Public School, and Arnprior District High School where he made countless friends whom he kept in contact with throughout his life. He moved to Grande Prairie, Alberta in search of a job in 1978, where he met and married his wife, Cyndi. Fred started working with Live Well Service (formerly CHW) in Grande Prairie, and eventually the company moved him to Edmonton. Together, Fred and Cyndi raised their three sons: Robert, Danyl and Chrystifer in Grande Prairie and Edmonton.

In 2001 they returned to Grande Prairie, where Fred became the district manager of Live Well Service and became a captain of his industry. He was known as not only an understanding, compassionate and supportive boss, he was and is still known as a mentor and hero to everyone who knew or worked with him.

In 2007 Fred suffered a portal vein thrombosis, which left him unable to eat and with a large opening in his stomach.

Despite that, Fred and Cyndi adopted three more children: Thomas, Dylan and Khloe in 2009.

Regardless of his physical condition, Fred continued to enjoy a full life doing all the things he loved: fishing, quadding, boating, camping, and most importantly, spending time with family and friends. He fought hard to live and cope with the challenges every-day life handed him. Through it all he never complained, he laughed and he loved. He met challenges head on with a brave heart and was an inspiration to all who knew him. Despite many trips in and out of the hospital Fred continued to live and enjoy his life more than anyone else we knew.

On September 14, 2013, Fred entered the hospital again with sepsis and sadly after a six week battle he was unable to once again defy what the doctors had predicted six and a half years ago. He was surrounded by his wife and children, his sister, Sandra, brother in-law, Harvey, nieces: Natasha, and Kaitlyn and friend, Mark when he passed peacefully into God’s waiting arms.

A Funeral Service was held at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 10, 2013, at Appel Funeral Homes/Central Memorial Chapel, 10530 – 116 Street, Edmonton, Alberta.

Family and friends unable to travel out west for Fred’s Funeral are invited to a Memorial Celebrating Fred’s Life at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, November 16, 2013 at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, Braeside, Ontario.

In lieu of floral tributes, donations may be made in Fred’s memory to the Children’s Wish Foundation, #271, 339 – 50 Avenue, Calgary, Alberta T2G 2B3 or Ronald McDonald House, 7726 – 107 Street, Edmonton, Alberta T6E 4K3.

Mom, Remembering you is easy, we do it every day.

Missing you is the hardest part, as it never goes away.

To hear your voice, to see your smile.

To sit and chat with you awhile.

Would be our greatest wish.

Today, tomorrow, our whole life through, we will always remember you.

Today, we are sending you a dove To heaven with a parcel on its wings.

Be careful when you open it, It’s filled with beautiful things.

Inside are a million kisses Wrapped in a million hugs; To say how much we miss you And send you all our love.

We hold you close within my heart; And there you will remain To walk with us throughout our lives, Until we meet again.

To us, you were very special What more is there to say; Except to wish with all our hearts That you were here today.

They say that time heals everything, But we know that isn’t so; we miss you just as much today As we did two years ago.

They say it’s a beautiful journey From the old world to the new Someday I’ll make that journey Which will lead me straight to you And when I reach that garden In which there is no pain I’ll put arms around you And never part again Dennis CLR482966 DEATH NOTICE

Community - 2 women productions is thrilled to be bringing audiences in the Ottawa Valley, another remarkable storytelling performance by Marta Singh, to Neat Coffee Shop in Burnstown at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 24.

As Marta says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It took years of soaking my bones in folktales and fairy-tales to know that

they hold as much truth and as much wonder, as what we call â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;realâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; life. Once that became knowing, life handed me the threads, the memories, the places, the people, that were asking to be laced into story,â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little did I know that the two women from whom I first heard stories, would one day stand at the center of my craft and become themselves, in story, witches and fair-

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

EDUCATION

Connected to your community

Check out the art cards and calendars from Renfrew Collegiate Kaitlyn Beimers Raider Review

Community - Artistic students in Grades 9 to 12 at Renfrew Collegiate Institue, along with art teacher Ms. Stevens, are continuing a project they started last fall, selling art cards and calendars that feature the artwork of RCI students.

These cards and calendars bring awareness to the Art program here at RCI and promote the fantastic work of the students. “The cards and calendars show us that there are some truly gifted artists at RCI,” says art

teacher Ms. Stevens.

The cards are $3.50 each or 5 for $15 and the calendars are available for $15 each.

They can be purchased from the school through the Art Department as well as throughout the community where they will be kindly displayed at Donohue’s Art and Frame and the Renfrew Victoria Hospital.

Proceeds go back to RCI’s art department to continue to develop the program.

The next time you need to give a thank-you card or birthday card, choose one that displays the work of

a local student artist from Renfrew Collegiate.

RCI has also started an art club, which is an after school group for students with artistic interests.

It is open to all grades, and students do not have to be taking an art class to participate, “It is a great way of bringing creative students together to share and develop their talents,” says staff supervisor Ms. Stevens.

It runs every Thursday after school from 2:30 to 4 p.m.

During art club, students can work on class projects, or work on types of art that they haven’t had the opportu-

nity to do in class.

The members of the Art Club also help with school and community projects, such as creating posters and signs. Currently, they are helping design the sets for our upcoming musical Cinderella, and are working on pieces for RCI’s Interact Club’s silent auction that will be held at the end of November.

With Christmas around the corner, we ask you consider supporting our art department with the purchase of calendars and cards that display the beautiful artwork of RCI art students.

Remembrance a time to reflect at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School Abby Hall

Jaguar Journal

Community - Remembrance Day is a time to reflect on how lucky we are as Canadians to have all of our freedom. It is a time to be thankful for the soldiers who lost their lives and risk their lives today so that we may enjoy safety everyday.

This past Monday, SJHS held a Remembrance ceremony of our own. The entire student body united to reflect on the sacrifices made for our future.

Thank you to all of the

volunteers for donating their time!

Around this time, the fall season of sports comes to an end. Junior and senior girls’ basketball teams have enjoyed a very successful season. Both junior and senior boys’ volleyball teams are headed to EOSSAA. Congratulations to all athletes on a fantastic season!

St. Joe’s is continuing to fundraise and collect for a number of local and international charities during the month of November.

At the moment, new or gently used snowsuits, sweat-

ers, 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. 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 Parrot by Grade 10 student Jayda SJHS! McLaren.

Brothers always argued over hand-me-down box Memories

Lifestyle – The station master had called that morning. It didn’t matter what Father had planned for the day, it would have to be put on hold. More important was going into Renfrew and bringing home the hand-me-down box that had arrived from Regina.

When we got home from school, there it was, sitting in the middle of the kitchen …a big square wooden box that at one time had held bulk tea. It was lined with a kind of foil, and until it was opened after supper, there it would sit with its lid nailed shut.

Of course, we didn’t lay a finger on it until after the kitchen had been ‘redded’ up, and our hands washed. I was never sure why we had to wash our hands before we could touch a dirty wood box that had come all the way from Regina on the train!

Finally, we were ready. We sat around the box on kitchen chairs while Everett pried the lid off with a crowbar.

There would be nothing in

it but boys clothes, since Aunt Lizzie, the sender of the handme-down box had only sons, and there was really nothing in the box to interest my sister Audrey and me.

So often we chose to sit at the kitchen table looking through Eaton’s catalogue while my three brothers and Mother pawed through the big box of clothes.

Father, of course, showed no interest at all. He was in his usual position in front of the Findlay Oval, half asleep in the rocking chair. But that night, Audrey and I joined the circle as piece after piece of boys’ clothes, along with pants and jackets that had belonged to Uncle Jack, were taken out.

Down in the very bottom was a pair of men’s shiny shoes.

Well! Emerson grabbed them before anyone else had a chance and claimed them as his own.

The brothers had a pair each of well worn laced boots kept for church, and gum rubbers which they wore to school. Never had any of the three owned a pair of shiny black leather shoes. Everett thought because he was

the oldest, they should belong to him. Emerson roared that he saw them first, and said there would be a ‘roary’ eyed fight if Everett tried to claim them.

“They don’t look like they fit you,” Mother said.

There was no doubt Emerson was bigger by far than Everett, but Emerson already had his gum rubbers off and cramming his stockinged feet into the shoes.

He was getting red in the face, and it didn’t take a genius to see that the shoes were a good inch shorter than Emerson’s enormous feet, but he was going to own them and that’s all there was to it. Before there was any further discussion, he carried the shoes upstairs and put them under the bed he shared with Earl and dared anyone to lay a finger on them!

He never once tried them on all week, but every night he brought them downstairs and rubbed them with an old piece of long ‘johns’ from the rag bag.

“I’ll be wearing those to church on Sunday,” he announced every night.

Well, Sunday came, and after

the morning chores, we all got dressed for church. Emerson came downstairs, walking like he had a bag of potatoes under his pants, but wearing the new shoes.

Mother asked him why he was walking so funny, and he said he was breaking in the shoes. My sister Audrey said under her breath, “I think the shoes are breaking in him!”

He hobbled into church, hobbled out, and could barely make it back into the house when we got home where he fell into the nearest chair and pulled off the new shiny black shoes. He let out a sigh of relief and then pulled off his socks.

“What happened to your toes?” I asked him.

They were as red as a beet and he had to use his fingers to unbend them.

Everett was ready to claim the shoes when Emerson said he could buy them if he wanted, but he certainly wasn’t getting them for nothing! “They are my shoes, and they stay my shoes until you pay for them,” Emerson said, rubbing his toes trying to get the cramps out of them.

Well, that’s when Mother entered the fray. She got up from the kitchen table, walked over to where Emerson and the new shiny black shoes were, grabbed them off the floor, and handed them to Everett.

She never said a word. She didn’t have to.

Everett slipped off his laced boots, and even with heavy grey work socks, he was able to slip his feet in easily.

They fit him like they had been made for him.

Emerson hardly spoke to Everett for three days.

The hand-me-down box never arrived that there wasn’t an argument over who was to get what. Only when the brothers came to blows and were rolling around on the floor, clutching the piece of clothing the fight was over, would Mother call a halt.

She could stand just so much of the carry-on, and then she would give each a slap on the side of the head, or a yank on an ear, while Father, sitting in his rocking chair, never took his eyes off the Ottawa Farm Journal.

Jaguars capture county titles

Peter Clark

peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - The St. Joseph’s Jaguars are on the top of the Renfrew County boys volleyball world.

Both the senior and junior teams captured county championships Nov. 7.

The Senior Jaguars claimed the 2013 crown at home before the roaring crowd in the Jag Den. The Junior Jaguars earned their title in Barry’s Bay. VOLLEYBALL TITLES

It’s 13-consecutive Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association senior boys volleyball wins in 2013, and counting for the St. Joseph’s Senior Jaguars.

After their second consecutive unbeaten season at 9-and-0, the Jaguars pieced together four more victories in the playoffs to claim the school’s second consecutive Renfrew County title Nov. 7.

All four of those playoffs matches – over the crosstown Renfrew Collegiate Raiders (25-18, 2522, 25-18), General Panet Panthers, Fellowes Falcons and General Panet, for a second time in the county final – were 3-0 sweeps.

“The team played really well. Everyone contributed all year,” coach Trent Skelhorn said.

“We’ve been in the final the past four years, and won the last two,” the coach added.

Coach Skelhorn noted, General Panet never quit in the final. “We led the third game 20-10,” he said before his Jaguars went on to complete the sweep 25-19, 25-18, 25-22.

There is more volleyball on tap today (Nov. 14) for the Senior Jaguars.

They are hosting the Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) senior boys volleyball championship for A

schools.

The Junior Jaguars took down the Fellowes Falcons 3-2, and then outlasted the Madawaska Valley District Wolves in a thrilling final on their home court in Barry’s Bay. The Jaguars won games 1 and 2 by 27-25, 25-22 before Madawaska made things tense with a 25-21 triumph in the third game.

Coach Renee Turcotte’s Jaguars fought off the home team and its momentum in the championship seriesclosing fourth set.

The Junior Jaguars advanced to the final day with 3-0 playoff wins over both the Jeanne Lajoie Chevaliers and General Panet Panthers at the Jag Den Nov. 5. The Jaguars are in Cornwall today for A EOSSAA.

A Senior Jaguars girls basketball win over the Arnprior Redmen Oct. 8 was considered an upset.

Not so on Nov. 5.

The Jaguars enjoyed the home cooking at the Jag Den, cruising to a 43-27 win over the Redmen in the semifinal.

Offensively, Sonya Bergin led St. Joseph’s with a scintillating 27-point performance. Jocelyn Virgin added eight points and Brittanee Mahusky six.

Defensively, the Jaguars held Arnprior to four points in each of the first, third and fourth quarter.

St. Joseph’s led 15-8 at half time, and then outscored Arnprior 18-14 in a freewheeling third quarter highlighted by a number of fastbreak baskets and hoops from three-point land.

Twenty of Bergin’s points came in the second half.

Unfortunately for the Senior Jaguars, they couldn’t continue their magic in Opeongo. The Wildcats prevailed in the county final by a 42-26 count. Alli-

A good season for the Junior Jaguars came to an end in the junior semifinal.

After falling behind

early, the Jaguars made a spirited comeback bid, but couldn’t catch the leagueleading Arnprior Redmen.

Arnprior prevailed 4527. Hannah Robertson was St. Joseph’s tops scorer.

Sports - It wasn’t the end they were looking for, but when the Renfrew Collegiate Senior Raiders look back at their 2013 football season years from now, they’ll say it was pretty good.

The highlight was obviously their 17-0 Turkey Bowl win over Arnprior, which eventually allowed the Raiders to take the coveted Renfrew County championship away from the Redmen.

On a cold, windy afternoon last Friday on the Lindsay Athletic Field tundra at Ma-Te-Way Park, the Lanark champion Almonte Thunderbolts were just too relentless.

They didn’t score early, but they did score often in a 36-0 win over the Raiders. Two major scores late in the first half broke open a 1-0 game.

The Raiders coaching staff congratulated the troops for their fine season. “It was a great year – county champions. We lost to a good team,” head coach Todd Stewart said.

“For those of you graduating, thanks for your leadership. For those of you who come back, work hard in the summer. See if we can do this again. It was fun.”

Despite a 45-25 setback to Arnprior in the Renfrew County junior girls basketball final Nov. 7, the Ju-

The Junior Raiders overcame an early 6-0 Opeongo lead and 18-15 halftime deficit to score a 37-31 victory over the visiting Wildcats in the junior girls basketball semifinal at the Grant Gymnasium Nov. 5.

Martin drained 22 points and Melville 10 for RCI. Courtney Roach, Jammie Banks and Courtney Briscoe led a strong performance from the defence, said coach Jason Wilson, who made some adjustments with his team trailing at half time.

Jill Barr and Vanessa VanMassenhoven had 12 points each for Opeongo.

The Raiders volleyball season ended on the opening day of the playoffs Nov. 5 at the St. Joseph’s Catholic High School gymnasium.

The senior boys dropped a 25-18, 25-22, 25-18 decision to the homestanding St. Joseph’s Jaguars.

The General Panet Panthers topped RCI 3-1 to eliminate the Raiders from further action.

Coach Darren Matthews said the Raiders showed they can play with the best competition in the county.

Atoms reach quarterfinal Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - The Renfrew Atom Timberwolves advanced into the quarterfinal round of the Regional Silver Stick hockey tournament in Pembroke last weekend.

The Atom Wolves doubled the Campbellford Colts 4-2 and downed the Gananoque Islanders 6-1 before dropping a 5-1 decision to the Kemptville Panthers in division play. Four third-period goals gave Kemptville the victory.

As fate would have it, the Wolves met the Panthers for a second time to open the playoffs.

Kemptville pulled out a 2-0 win, and later went on to capture the Re-

gional Silver Stick title.

Olivia Smart, Connor Buffam and Carter Jarrett notched two goals apiece in the tournament for the Atom Wolves.

Garrett Box, Angus Duchene, Jack Stewart, Ryan Kelusky and Reid Greer added singles.

Rory Limlaw and Braeden Curley each had two assists versus Gananoque.

Jonathan Roach and Owen Osborne handled goaltending duties for the Wolves.

The Peewee Timberwolves are in Pembroke for Silver Stick action this weekend.

Renfrew is in a division with the Highland Storm, Lakefield Chiefs and Smiths Falls Bears.

Sports - The Low Cup got back to action as two teams travelled to Arnprior to play Deep River.

The team of Rob Warren, Don Rouble, Jim Berg and George Burton played with their usual efficiency to win comfortably.

The Gary Smith rink of Andy Sklepowicz, Jim Harbord and Dwight Hayward met a tough opponent and battled rock for rock until the sixth when Sklepowicz came through a tight port to remove a partially hidden rock which led to a key two. Smith then bailed his vice out in the eighth when he made a crucial double with his first rock and then sealed the win with an open hit with last rock.

In the afternoon the opponents were reversed. It was the Smith team taking control with a couple of four-enders to blow their game wide open, In a tight contest, Warren also got through a tight port to steal one against a potential three in the fourth.

That key shot turned the game around and a fourth Renfrew victory ensued putting them atop the

standings after round two.

The ladies joined the action when they hosted the first round of the Autumn Leaves.

The team of Yvonne Sklepowicz, Christine Johnson, Anne MacNeil and Sandra Fredette in the morning, and Cathy O’Donnell in the afternoon, had a strong first game defeating Killaloe 7-4.

But then the wheels fell off in the second game against Pembroke.

The rink of Shelley Jamieson, Leith Collins, Louise Jamieson and Joan Eaton lost to one Pembroke team in the morning after a tough battle, but then won comfortably over the other Pembroke rink in the afternoon, leaving our ladies in the middle of the pack after round one.

The first draw for most leagues is now coming to a close.

If you want to get in on the second draw, now is the time to sign up.

Little rocks and juniors for the younger crowd is now into full swing every Thursday after school and both groups are still accepting youngsters interested in curling this year.

For Martin, sports and music do mix Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Renfrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bonnie McIntyre, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flag bearer at the 2013 New York City Marathon.

was the 1908-09 campaign when he scored 30 goals in just 12 games with the Bulldogs.

It was reported that Jordan once scored eight goals in a game. However, that was before the formation of the National Hockey League, so that statistic is not included in the official record book.

In later years, he was approached by people who wanted to nominate him for inclusion in the Hockey Hall of Fame, but he refused to let his name stand, said one descendent on a web site blog that Martin read last year.

The Millionaires are mentioned in the Hall of Fame, so he is there, but only as a part of the famous team photo. After retiring from hockey at the tender 2

Sports - Tony Martin has a piece of history and you might say, it combines music with sports.

The Renfrew native, who now lives in Petawawa, has an old piano â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a Mason and Risch â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that was first owned by Herb Jordan of the Renfrew Millionaires. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I first bought it from Herbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cleaning lady years ago,â&#x20AC;? Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was Helen Cybulski, and she still lives in Renfrew.â&#x20AC;?

Martin was a good friend and school mate of Helenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youngest son, Kevin. That is how he knew of the piano.

As for his own pianoplaying ability, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I took basic lessons from Levels 1, 2 and 3 books but did not stick with it. Life is very busy for me. I can play Mary Had a Little Lamb,â&#x20AC;? says Martin with a laugh.

Right now, despite its roots, Martin canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give the piano away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have contacted the Renfrew Hockey Museum and the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, but both are unable to take it. Renfrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s location has three flights of stairs, otherwise they would take it,â&#x20AC;? Martin adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The HHOF loves the Herb Jordan story but has several items like this. I want to donate it to one of Herbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family members but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where they would be. I am open to having this piano on display somewhere in Renfrew. I wish to give back to the community.â&#x20AC;?

Herb Jordan (18841973) was born in Quebec City. He was an amateur hockey player, and later played professional, most notably for his hometown Quebec Bulldogs and then the Millionaires.

Jordanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best season

age of 26, Jordan signed as a personal assistant to Ambrose Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien.

Almost 20 years later in 1929, Jordan, along with M.J. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien and M.T. Duggan, began a golf club in Renfrew. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the guys that started the Renfrew Golf Club,â&#x20AC;? Martin said.

Helen Cybulski remembers her days of owning the piano well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I worked for Herb Jordan for 22 years. When he died he left it for me in his will,â&#x20AC;? Cybulski recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was very proud. My youngest son was taking piano lessons and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a piano.â&#x20AC;?

Cybulski eventually moved into a smaller house, and was unable to keep the piano. That is when she sold the piano to Martin.

Great experience in New York Sports - I had a fantastic experience as a flag bearer in the New York City Marathon Opening ceremony on Friday, Nov. 1 in Central Park.

It was a celebration that included runners from all over the world. More than 75 countries were represented.

I had the privilege of leading some of the other Canadian runners through a section of the marathon course towards the finish line.

It was a honour to have been selected to be a flag bearer and an experience I will always treasure.

Charlene Nolan, Hughie Nolan and myself successfully completed

the 42.2k journey through five boroughs of New York City to finish in Central Park.

The 43rd ING New York City Marathon drew record numbers.

More than 50 000 racers participated this year, the most ever. The race paid tribute to the victims and heroes of Hurricane Sandy and those affected by Aprilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Boston Marathon bombings.

To celebrate the three of us and our families gathered for dinner and proudly wore our race medals.

Other local residents, Stewart Campbell and Brian Campbell also participated in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New York City race.

Pontiacs top Timberwolves on night for Brett Nugent Peter Clark

Labrosse, Julian Dumont and Brady Trudeau scored for the Pontiacs, who overcame the 1-0 deficit with two goals in the first period, and two more in the second.

Luke Lapierre, Tyler MacDonald and newcomer Colton Kuehl kept the Wolves in contention. Teddy Suckow and Cole Allard earned two assists.

McGee was called upon to make a number of crucial stops to keep the Wolves at bay late in the third period.

The Shawville goalkeeper faced 40 Renfrew shots in all.

Wolves goaltender Brayden St.Germain was tested 35 times in the entertaining contest.

A second-period scrap resulted in Renfrew’s Sean Kyte and Shawville counterpart Dylan McNamara receiving early exits.

The Wolves are at home this Friday as they take on the Metro Division’s Clarence Creek Beavers on Ma-TeWay Activity Centre ice at 8 p.m.

On Sunday, the Renfrew club travels to Stittsville for a 2:30 p.m. start against the Royals.

peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - Playing before a large crowd and for an injured teammate was all the motivation the Pontiac Juniors needed to fend off the Renfrew Timberwolves in Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League action on the Quebec side Friday night.

When the final buzzer sounded to signal a 4-3 victory, the Shawville players bolted from the bench to mob goaltender Trevor McGee, not unlike a game 7 scenario.

They were playing for teammate Brett Nugent (No. 15) who suffered a serious spinal injury in a game at Perth Nov. 27.

PONTIACS 4 WOLVES 3

The Wolves got off to a good start with the game’s first marker, and added two more in the third. But it wasn’t enough to overcome four consecutive goals from the Pontiacs.

BY-LAW 29-2012 TOWN OF RENFREW OVERNIGHT WINTER PARKING PROHIBITION

The Ontario Electric League, Ottawa Valley Chapter, donates $2,500 to Hospice Renfrew, in memory of their friend and OEL member, Bob Conner. From left, OEL member Brian Yemen, Diane Caughey, executive director of Hospice Renfrew; Nolan Murphy, his grandmother Laura Conner, and OEL member Eric Glahs.

No person shall park a vehicle or permit a vehicle to remain parked on any municipal parking lot or a street/highway between 2:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. from December 1 to March 31.

Note: Vehicles parked on any street/highway during these hours are subject to a fine.

Further, if the vehicle restricts winter maintenance operations it will be towed away at the owner’s expense.

PLEASE DO NOT PUSH SNOW OR ICE ONTO TOWN STREETS OR SIDEWALKS

Community The holiday season is upon us.

Both the Canadian Mental Health Association and the National Institute of Health in the United States point out that the holiday season is a time when there is a high incidence of dread and depression, not just anticipation and excitement.

If you have recently experienced the death of a significant person in your life, the holiday season can be particularly difficult.

With all the messages of family togetherness and joy, the emptiness left behind when someone dies is in harsh contrast to what society seems to “expect” us to feel.

On Wednesday, Nov. 20 from 7 to 9 p.m. in the lower level of the hospice, there will be a special educational workshop designed to help you find ways to cope more effectively with your grief during the holiday season.

The facilitator for this workshop is Ian Henderson, Life Coach and Grief Educator.

Ian studied with Dr. Alan Wolfelt and is a graduate of the Death and Grief Studies Certification Program at the Center for Loss and Life

Transition in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Ian offers support groups and one-on-one grief coaching to the bereaved and he has been presenting educational workshops for the last 7 years in the Ontario region.

Because the lower level of the hospice has limited seating, advanced registration is required.

Please register by Friday, November 15 by calling 613-433-3993, extension 2231 or by emailing support@ hospicerenfrew. ca Please note that space at the

hospice is limited, so register early. Seats will be available on a “first come, first served” basis.

Please leave a name and contact number so that your registration can be confirmed and you can be assured of a seat.

While there is no fee to attend this workshop, a donation in support of the work of Hospice Renfrew would be welcomed.

This workshop is made possible by generous community donations and by grant money received from Renfrew County United Way.

Unwrapping Christmas early at Home Hardware Shoppers at the annual Unwrapping Christmas Early event at Home Hardware on Oct. 17 got some early inspiration for the holiday season. Creative crafts, demonstrations, holiday decorations and tasty baked goods were all part of an enjoyable evening that culminated with a $1,500 donation to the Digital Mammography Fund at Renfrew Victoria Hospital. “Home Hardware is a dedicated supporter of RVH. Staff members organize the event and we appreciate all the hard work that goes into making this happen,” says Barb Desilets, RVH Foundation director of development. “As well, the opportunity to showcase the Call to Action initiative is great. The community representatives for CTA are excited to share the news about the expansion and the event was a perfect way to get started.” Desilets, left, stands with CTA community representative Sandra Beimers.

Kane says he also loves the frank honesty of cubs, as they tell it like it is.

He has also had other close connections with youth. He has been a Big Brother and has seven nieces, including two who attended the Sunday gathering to recognize his birthday (officially celebrated Nov. 10) and his five decades of scouting service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want to say how proud I am to be your oldest niece,â&#x20AC;? said Tammy Kane of Ottawa. Niece Nathalie Marshall of Ottawa also attended the gathering.

Kane first became a cub leader in Val dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Or, Que., in 1967, where he worked in the gold mine as an electrician. After moving to Carleton Place, he was inactive

She also handed out four certificates. MP Cheryl Gallant recognized his birthday, MPP John Yakabuski recognized his contribution to scouting, and the Town of Renfrew recognized both. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your commitment to your community and its youth is commendable and greatly appreciated,â&#x20AC;? said the MPPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certificate.

The gathering for birthday cake and accolades ended with a singing of For Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Jolly Good Fellow. Last spring, Kane also received a certificate from Scouts Canada in recognition of his half-century of service.

HERITAGE

Connected to your community

We all love legends: This year, celebrate St. Andrew’s Day in style at medieval feast Events - Ah, the stuff of legends — Sir Gawain and the Green Giant, Beowulf, the Knights of the Round Table, Maid Marian, Merlin the Magician, even St. Andrew.

A number of legends revolve around this disciple.

Take Cyprus. Tradition holds that a ship which was transporting St. Andrew went off course and ran aground. Upon coming ashore, Andrew struck the rocks with his staff, at which point a spring of healing waters gushed forth. Using it, the sight of the ship’s captain, who had been blind in one eye, was restored.

Thereafter, the site became a place of pilgrimage and a fortified monastery stood there in the 12th century, from which Isaac Comnenus negotiated his surrender to Richard the Lionheart.

In the 15th century, a small chapel was built close to the shore. The main monastery of the current church dates to the 18th century. Other pilgrimages are more recent.

The story is told that in 1895, the son of a Maria Georgiou was kidnapped. Seventeen years later, St. Andrew appeared to her in a dream, telling her to pray for her son’s return at the monastery. Living in Anatolia, she embarked on the crossing to Cy-

prus on a very crowded boat.

Telling her story during the journey, one of the passengers, a young Dervish priest, became more and more interested. Asking if her son had any distinguishing marks, he stripped off his cloths to reveal the same marks, and mother and son were thus reunited.

Then there’s the legend of how St. Andrew came to be appointed Scotland’s patron saint. In 832 AD, Óengus II led an army of Picts and Scots into battle against the Angles, led by Æthelstan, near modern-day Athelstaneford, East Lothian.

The legend states that he was heavily outnumbered and hence whilst engaged in prayer on the eve of battle, Óengus vowed that if granted victory he would appoint St. Andrew as the patron saint of Scotland.

On the morning of battle, white clouds forming an X shape in the sky were said to have appeared. Óengus and his combined force, emboldened by this apparent divine intervention, took to the field and despite being inferior in numbers, were victorious.

Andrew’s connection with Scotland may have been reinforced following the Synod of Whitby, when the Celtic Church felt that Columba had been “outranked” by Peter and that Peter’s brother would make a

higher-ranking patron.

The 1320 Declaration of Arbroath cites Scotland’s conversion to Christianity by Andrew, “the first to be an Apostle.”

Numerous parish churches in the Church of Scotland and congregations of other Christian churches in Scotland are named after Andrew.

The national church of the Scottish people in Rome, Sant’Andrea degli Scozzesi, is dedicated to St. Andrew.

In honour of our area’s celtic history, the newly-formed McNab Celtic Heritage Society is holding a medieval feast at the Masonic Hall in Arnprior on Friday, Nov. 29, starting at 7 p.m. Enjoy a repast of duck and leek soup, braised leg of cock, roastitt meats and vegetables, tarts and sweets.

Come dressed in medieval garb if you will and enjoy dining with a knife and your hands. I guarantee a fun time will be held by all.

Tickets cost $25 each (children under 12 get in free) and can be purchased at Fraser’s and M&R Feeds in Renfrew, Jim’s Restaurant in Arnprior, or by calling either 613-623-3614 or 613-432-6271 .

Proceeds will be used to organize and promote other Celtic events such as the annual Scottish Festival and Scotch taste-testing event.

PLAYTEX PLANT OPENED MONDAY: A total of 110 Playtex employees from Arnprior began their first week in the company facility in Renfrew Monday. The company is moving its intimate apparel section to Renfrew so its Families Products Division in Arnprior can expand. The old RCA building on Hall Avenue has been leased for 25 years and renovated by the company in order for 300 employees to eventually work there. Peter Moore, who supervises the Intimate Apparel section, said Tuesday the building is ideal for their purpose. The move took place a few weeks ago as 80 sewing machines at a time were moved from Arnprior NOVEMBER 17, 1938 to Renfrew.

And as we know very little gets by the eyes of a raven. This is possibly why they are rarely seen caching food.

Blue jays have been seen filling their gullet with over 100 sunflower seeds at one sitting before caching them in a favourite site such as a hollow tree. One observer estimated that a blue jay cached 2,000 beech nuts in a single month and made over 1,000 trips a day during the peak storage period. They have been known to travel three miles (4.8 km) from the food source to a storage site.

may cache hundreds of seeds in a single day under leaves and in bark cracks.

Most important is the fact that 24 hours after caching, the birds not only remember where they hid things but also which sites they have emptied.

They remember which sites have the best quality food and will empty them first. They are poor however, at remembering where seeds other birds have cached.

We do not have many birds at our feeders but we can observe the caching habits of chickadees and blue jays, always interesting.

THE NEW WIRE BRIDGE: The historic old wire bridge across the Bonnechere has gone. Now the only memory and a memory with a sad finish. In its place now hangs in the air a much more creditable and substantial structure designed by town engineer Stewart and worked out on the spot by Mr James McNicol. Piers of cement are the anchors for the heavy cable, and there is so harnessed with clamps, and the wooden framework suspended from it is so ‘bridged” sideways that there is now hardly a deflection from the horizontal, and hardly a tremor as on walks on it. The only fault about it is that it was not built earlier.

MORE RURAL MAIL ROUTES FROM RENFREW: Rural mail route No. 5 from Renfrew out through Horton will be put in operation on December 1st, Mr. W.C. Cooper having been awarded the contract for carrying the mail over it. There are some fifty farm houses served by it daily. The somewhat delayed route No 4 from Renfrew to Ferguslea, Shamrock and Mount St. Patrick daily, seems likely now to materialize as advertisements are out for tenders for the carrying, tenders to be opened on Dec. 26. this route covers 26½ miles.

I personally experienced God’s healing power in 1975 when He healed me instantaneously from migraines. Within seconds, all pain and sickness left my body and I have never had another migraine since. I thank God every day that He took away that horrible suffering that plagued my life for so long.

Report From Parliament:

www.cherylgallant.com Pembroke, Ontario - As the Member of Parliament for RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke, that includes CFB Petawawa, I am pleased to confirm the announcement of new legislation intended to provide medically released Veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) who were injured in service to Canada the top level of priority consideration for job openings in the public service.

Medically released Veterans have made a significant sacrifice in their service to Canada and they have the skills, training and experience that make them ideal candidates to continue strengthening Canada through public service.

Every year, many military members transition out of the Canadian Armed Forces. For those Canadian Armed Forces members who cannot deploy and meet the demands of operations, finding meaningful employment is a key factor in making a successful transition to civilian life.

On behalf of the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces, I welcome this additional support for Regular Force and Reserve Force members who have sacrificed so much for our country. The goal of Canadian Armed Forces support and care is to retain as many members as possible.

However, this change will provide meaningful employment options to members of the Canadian Armed Forces who are medically released.

When a position becomes open in the public service, different groups have different levels of access. In spring 2014, when the legislation is expected to come into force, those Regular Force and Reserve Force members who are medically released from the Canadian Armed Forces for service-related reasons will receive a statutory priority for a period of five years. This will provide Veterans with the highest level of priority consideration for public service positions, above all other groups, in recognition of their sacrifices and service to Canada.

Those full-time Regular or Reserve Force Veterans who release for non-service-related medical reasons will continue to receive their existing level of priority. However, the duration of their access will be increased from two to five years, allowing them a longer period of priority entitlement for positions.

Veterans who will make use of this measure must qualify for the positions they are seeking. The changes will apply to medically released Veterans who received a priority entitlement on or after April 1, 2012. In addition to the proposed legislative and regulatory changes, the Government of Canada continues to work with corporate Canada to help Veterans find new opportunities to successfully make the transition from military to civilian life. Partnering with corporate Canada allows Veterans to put the training and skills acquired during their service to good use in the civilian workforce.

As your Federal Member of Parliament, I am pleased to represent you on a variety of issues. Whether that issue is eliminating the long gun registry, promoting agriculture, international trade, Canadian Unity, AECL, the military or jobs in the working forest, I am here to serve you! As always, if you have any concerns of a federal nature, or just want to share your views with me, please do not hesitate to contact my office.

Office contact Information: Constituency Office of Cheryl Gallant, MP, 84 Isabella St., Pembroke On. K8A 5S5 or call 7324404. There is no postage required when you write your Federal Member of Parliament.
