News - High winds over the Nov. 910 weekend left Renfrew’s swinging bridge worse for wear. One of the bridge cables shifted several feet, and over one of the main supports, leaving the walking deck at a slight angle. Gusting winds reached about 80 kilometres per hour, while the bridge was said to be swaying several feet in the wind. Pedestrian traffic to the bridge crossing the Bonnechere River is already closed at the south end because of construction of Renfrew Power Generation’s new generating station. But now access from the north side, for visits to the bridge, is blocked off until the damage can be properly assessed. See BRIDGE, page 2

News - It’s $41,776 Renfrew council hadn’t counted on spending, but council has unanimously approved doing a King Street project before freeze-up. To receive withheld funding of $32,000 for earlier road work done in town, Renfrew is required to

complete resurfacing work on King Street, across from Veterans Memorial Boulevard and the fairgrounds. The money is available through the Infrastructure Stimulus Fund. The entire cost, to shave and pave King Street, is $72,500 plus HST, leaving the town with a net cost of $41,776. Council discussed the finance committee’s recommendation to do

King Street. “It’s not the highest priority (of our rehabilitation projects), but there is $32,000 sitting there available,” said development and works director Mike Asselin. “It’s not the worst road in town … but grant programs don’t come along very often.” Originally, the town received approval for combined federal-provin-

Mayors address economic development

Peter Clark

King Street

Mayors Don Eady of Horton Township, Peter Emon of Greater Madawaska and Bill Ringrose of Renfrew addressed the business people at the Chamber of Commerce Mayors Breakfast at Rocky Mountain House Nov. 12. Missing is Admaston-Bromley Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe.

peter.clark@metroland.com

News - Breakfast was served at the Rocky Mountain House, and then many of the area’s business people listened on as Renfrew and Area Chamber of Commerce president Rob Campbell introduced the mayors of Greater Madawaska, Horton and the Town of Renfrew Nov. 12. The fourth mayor – Raye-Anne Briscoe of Admaston-Brormley – had a previous meeting commitment with Renfrew County council. The mayors were promoting economic growth, and Peter Emon was the ďŹ rst to speak. PETER EMON, GREATER MADAWASKA

“It’s very important for us to connect to the community and for the community to connect with us,� Emon said. “The local government and the community have to work together.� Emon said the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village is an important generator of economic growth and an important foundation for the community. Each physician hired has generated about $1.1 million per year. This means the recruitment of 14 doctors will bring in more than $15 million into the local economy, he said. Employment average per doctor is

about 3.5 people, which brings stability to the area, Emon added. To date, seven doctors have recruited. “The numbers that we have been able to generate is that there are 795 people employed in that area. Since 2011 there has been a 6.21 per cent increase in the number of jobs,� Emon said. “Based in immediate income, we believe that represents about $73 million in salaries.� Emon estimates that it also generates about $58 million more into the area.

“It’s a very important foundation for the community. We emphasize, health care has become a signiďŹ cant generator of economic activity.â€? DON EADY, HORTON

Horton Mayor Don Eady said Horton has more economic development than he realized. Examples he mentioned are a very active farming community, a strongly-growing residential community, an evergrowing commercial base, one

When this was done, provincial ofďŹ cials administering the ISF program indicated the funding agreement would have to be amended to reect the reduced scope of work in the project. Subsequently, the town informed the Province that it would do reconstruction work on Prince Avenue and Duke Avenue at its own expense, as part of its own 2011 capital works plan. After months of discussions with treasurer Keray O’Reilly, the Province agreed to release 90 per cent of the $320,000 funding for the work completed on Fortington Street, Duke Avenue and Prince

Record for Mill Valley hunt Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - A record registration of 609 hunters took part in the annual Mill Valley Trading buck-and-doe contest that ended Sunday. The record (based on separate registration for week one and week two) eclipsed the mark of 595 set last year, said chief organizer Sharon Hutson. A total of 105 deer were weighed, compared to 100 last season. “It was a great two weeks,” said Hutson, who extended a big thank-you to all the supporters of the event that has run since the late 1990s. “We were amazed we were over last year’s record.” As with every season, some groups met their full quota, while other hunt camps came up empty-handed. One of the most successful hunters was Tyler Roesler of Golden Lake with a 230-pound field dressed buck, to take home $400 and a collector’s knife. Second heaviest, at 217 pounds, were Glen Rhode of Eganville and Justin Lacourse of Griffith. They shared the second-place prize money equivalent for a STIHL chainsaw, while Scott Merchand of Dacre won a STIHL trimmer for a 214-pound buck. In the doe category, Wayne Visutskie of Eganville was first with a 157pound field dressed deer to also win a collector’s knife and $400. Dale Shane of Tooey Lake was second at 150 pounds and Pembroke hunter Dean Visutskie, brother of Wayne, third at

Second- and third-place finishers took home a STIHL chainsaw and STIHL trimmer respectively. The oldest and youngest successful hunters were Joe Sullivan, 85 of Opeongo Road, Jessica Desforge, 16, of Ottawa and Devin Limlaw, 13, of Douglas. The most successful of the three was Limlaw, with a 133-pound buck. The loonie-jar winner, of

$1,216, was Murray Bimm of Eganville, while there was a four-way tie for the biggest rack. Those netting a 12-point deer were Justin Lacourse of Griffith, Ron Felhaber of Opeongo Road, Paula Witt of Eganville and Don Kelly of Eganville. Proceeds also enabled donations of $550 to Hospice Renfrew and $550 to the Pembroke Regional Hospital MRI fund.

Gourley’s: Tie for biggest buck Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Weather played havoc with some days of the annual Gourley’s Variety and Sporting Goods annual deerhunting contest, but the registration record was threatened. The number of deer was down, from 60 last year to 41. And total entries were 341, up from last year’s 309 and close to the all-time mark of 356. Two hunters tied for the largest field-dressed buck. The 226-pounders were shot by Braedon Roesler of Eganville and Tyler Hanniman of Renfrew. Third place went to Gord Ryan of Dacre with his 216-pound buck. The winners each took home a $162.50 Gourley’s gift certificate and $162.50 in cash.

Braedon Roesler tied for first with this buck. “The general response by hunters was that it was a harder hunt this year,” said chief organizer Keith Gourley.

“The rut started up the second week of rifle but was followed by a few days of rough weather. See GOURLEY’S, page 5

Renfrew Mayor Bill Ringrose’s talk included one vital topic -- roads. “There have been letters to the editor from people saying, ‘Don’t build a pool, don’t do this, don’t do that. Fix the roads!’� The mayor said sewer and water levels of service are “pretty darn good.� Renfrew spends about $300,000 per year on improvements for sewer, and $400,000 per year for water, to maintain the current level, which is no problem, Ringrose said. “We are spending that already. It’s part of our 10-year plan.� The roads level of service is significantly less. “It will take us about $850,000 per year to maintain a level service that is probably not where you want it to be.� Renfrew receives about $250,000 from

When the indoor model requires repairs, the older machine is called into service.

steve.newman@metroland.com

News - With Renfrew’s two ice resurfacers showing their age, town council has approved the purchase of a new machine for $79,413.50. At present, the town’s oldest machine, a 1980 model, is used for the outdoor skating surface. The 1998 model is used for Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre’s indoor ice surface.

ONE QUOTE

Recreation director Kevin Hill sought tenders from each of the two North American companies that supply ice machines, but only Resurfice Corp. bid on the project. Knowing that Resurfice has had a long-term relationship

Gourley’s Variety Continued from page 3

“Most gangs struggled to get deer this year,� said Gourley. “There was so much natural feed for the deer this year that they didn’t pattern the same as previous years; there was rough weather; and coyotes were running the bush. “We also had more-than-usual bear sightings during the deer hunt.�

with the town, Zamboni declined to make a bid, said Hill. After consulting with two neighbouring municipalities, Hill concluded that the town was given a very fair price. The expenditure is being funded over two years from the town’s revenue fund. The new machine, an Olympia Millennium Ice Resurfacer, will cost $78,040 plus HST. For maximum trade-in value, both North American ice resur-

facer manufacturers recommend trading in an ice resurfacer, or Zamboni, after eight years or 5,000 hours. Staff has been experiencing hydraulic issues with the 1998 model, which has about 6,100 hours of use. The town plans to liquidate the 1980 machine and use the 1998 model as a back-up. The new Olympia machine is scheduled for delivery in four months.

Jason Riopelle of Renfrew shot the deer with the most points (14). Youngest and oldest successful hunters were Matthew Manion, 13, of Renfrew and John Deshane, 79, of Renfrew. Dale Rupert of Dacre won the draw for a Traditions black powder gun, while the draw for a Jakes Leathercraft leather gun strap went to Cordell Enright of Dacre. Weigh-in proceeds of $95 went to the Renfrew Fish & Game Club, and $700 was donated to Hospice Renfrew.

These factors may weigh favourably for the late-season bow hunt and black powder season, with the full rut on and weather stabilizing. Pat Ryan of Dacre brought down the biggest doe, at 136 pounds, to win a $150 gift certificate and $150 in cash. Former Renfrew resident Gerard Hunt, who now lives out of the area, was second with his 126-lb. doe. Tied for second place was Chris Martin of Renfrew.

Crozier named Admaston-Bromley Library report received Township deputy clerk-treasurer Steve Newman

Attractions Fund, but first is welcoming ideas from library users to help design plans for those celebrations. Janney noted efforts to renegotiate agreements with Horton and McNabBraeside were unsuccessful. At the same time, those township residents have access to the library’s programs and services for $45 per year. The exception is children and students, who are charged no annual fees. Horton, who was paying about $10,500 per year, has been without an agreement since January. The library will have no agreement with McNab-Braeside as of January 2014. Meanwhile, the library layout is brighter and more spacious. CEO and head librarian O’Neill says town-based funding provided painting and new carpeting that gives the library a feeling of spaciousness. New display shelves are also in place in the adult department, to help patrons make their reading choices. “Research has shown that most people select a book within five minutes of entering a library, or they leave empty-handed unless they are looking for something very specific,� said O’Neill. “We are (also) doing an extensive weeding of old, damaged or poorlycirculating materials, so the shelves are less crowded and intimidating.�

News - Admaston-Bromley Township Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe introduced Sean Crozier Nov. 7 as the new deputy clerk-treasurer of Admaston-Bromley Township. Crozier is a former resident who graduated from St. Joseph’s High School in Renfrew, and Neumann University in Aston, Pa., where he majored in accounting and business administration. Crozier then worked four summers with Molson Careers Canada, and most recently for MacKillican & Associates. Crozier is back home and currently resides in Horton Township. Thirty people applied for the position, and the search committee initially interviewed 15. They narrowed that number to four, before selecting Crozier. Crozier is also an assistant coach with the Pembroke Lumber Kings of the Central Canada Junior A Hockey League. He is looking forward to the challenge of the deputy clerk treasurer’s job. “I am very honoured and excited to be named the deputy clerk treasur-

Sean Crozier officially took over his role as deputy clerk-treasurer of Admaston-Bromley Township effective Nov. 11. er and look forward to working with Mayor Briscoe, councillors, staff and the people of Admaston-Bromley.�

Crozier said. There’s no place like home, he added. “I was away for a little while, but it’s very nice to come back home and work with the people of this area that I grew up with,� he added. Clerk treasure Annette Louis is keen to begin working with Crozier. “Together, we will determine our goals and objectives as we work towards achieving them,� Louis said. “Our community is pleased to have Sean as an addition to our staff and we all look forward to working with you,� Mayor Briscoe added. After playing for the Junior B Timberwolves and four years in Pembroke, Crozier is also pleased with his second profession, assistant coach with the Lumber Kings. “That’s something that I’m really enjoying. It’s really nice working with (Eganville’s) Dale McTavish, another local guy that played for the Lumber Kings. “We seem to be having a good year right now. We are trying to find some consistency, but I’m enjoying that aspect of life as well, learning that side of the game,� the former Lumber Kings captain said. Crozier started his new job with Admaston-Bromley Nov. 11.

Renfrew Public Library chair Lynda Janney and CEO Bettijane O’Neill provided a joint annual report to Renfrew council Oct. 28, when they bemoaned the loss of library agreements with Horton and McNab-Braeside townships. However, most aspects of the report were decidedly positive, including the growth in e-books, the weeding of old and damaged books from the shelves, the installation of a video surveillance system to reduce theft, and plans to complete focus groups on library use by the end of 2014. “Our aim is to ensure that the library is aligned with the community’s needs, local priorities and their vision of the future,� said Janney of the focus groups, which will involve representatives of key organizations in the community. “The information gleaned from these consultations will be in addition to information from short and simple questionnaires from our patrons, library staff and library board (members).� Plans are also underway to prepare for the library’s 100th-anniversary celebrations in 2015. The library is looking to obtain funding from the Ontario Cultural

Annual report from the hunt camp in Admaston-Bromley chickadees, starlings, hairy and pileated woodpeckers roamed the bush in search of food. Well, that is all for this hunt, no deer but lots of birds. Missing this year was a grey jay. Thank you for the report Erick, always interesting and it is good to know that there are some birds somewhere. SNOW BUNTINGS

Hi, Jim and Ila: I saw first flock of snowbirds of the season this morning at Storyland Road and River Road. Probably a lot of others have seen them, but it was a surprise to me, when they flew up in front of me. This is a favourite spot for snow buntings to gather. Brian Eady Thank you, Brian.

haviour is like learning another language. The easiest way to learn is to watch birds at your feeder from inside the house. “Pecking order” isn’t just a figment of someone’s imagination but refers to the hierarchy of birds at our feeders. The dominant male of the flock feeds first, then the dominant females get their turn followed by first year birds. This pecking order applies when the birds are feeding away from feeders as well. The dominant birds get the best and most food at a berry bush or the centre position at a roosting site. Chickadees will dart in and get a seed and dart away when the larger jays are feeding but will not challenge the larger bird for a place at the feeder. Chickadees, crows, ravens and jays will warn all birds with their urgent danger calls when a predator like a hawk or human approaches. Enjoy your birding.

Ron and Brenda Golden had a golden eagle visit their property this past week. This is one of the most majestic birds we have. Like the bald eagle this species cannot be mistaken for any other. The large size, small head with a patch of gold on the top and back of the head, large dark bill and dark brown plumage are the best field marks. Adult bald eagles have yellow eyes and bill and a white head and tail. Immature golden eagles have a wide dark band at the end of the tail and white patches on the underside of the wings.

Community - Every year for the past several years now, Erick Leskie has sent us a report of the action at their hunt camp in Admaston-Bromley.The following is his report. Well, it is that time of year again, when hopeful hunters venture out into the wilds of Admaston is search of the elusive whitetail deer. No luck this year but we saw quite a few birds over the course of the week. A large hawk, white above but dark when sitting (northern harrier). Also a crowsized hawk, black all over, or very dark, with two or three very white stripes on the tail, possibly a broad winged hawk, dark phase. A very large hawk, dark below, I am sure it was a rough-legged variety as it hovered about 10 feet (3 metres) above the ground and then pounced, successfully I might add. There was a flock of snow buntings, many wild turkeys, crows, ravens, Canada geese and more than usual number of ruffed grouse. Regulars like blue jays, morning doves some house sparrows, black capped

Opinion - On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, most activities came to a halt as citizens remembered those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. But sometimes it’s difficult to remember. When attempting to describe the importance of Remembrance Day, the words “lest we forget” often cross our lips, emerging as an almost secular amen to punctuate the ceremonies held at schools, cenotaphs and legions. The meaning of Remembrance Day is passed down from generation to generation in the form of a history lesson. We learn more than 600,000 Canadian soldiers fought in the First World War and one in 10 did not return. The last known Canadian veteran who served in the First World War died in 2010. One million Canadian soldiers fought in the Second World War – more than 46,000 did not survive. Twenty-six thousand Canadians participated in the Korean War, with 516 killed, and another 121 soldiers have been killed in peacekeeping missions. In our most recent conflict, 157 soldiers were killed fighting in Afghanistan. And many of the survivors of the wars came home badly scarred, both physically and men-

tally. Our loss transcends mere numbers – as stark and horrifying as they are. These are sons and daughters, our fathers and mothers, our brothers and sisters, our next-door neighbours. They were real people, who carried hope for the present, regrets from the past and dreams for the future. And when they died, they left holes in our hearts and voids in families across the country. Every year, we gather and promise to never forget them or their sacrifice. But it’s a difficult promise to make. Remembering requires action, a commitment to learn the lessons of history taught to us by conflicts past. Forgetting is so much easier, and it’s a trap many of us fall into, instead focusing our attention on our personal hopes and dreams, while overlooking those who made that potential future possible. The act of remembrance shouldn’t be optional or relegated to an annual ritual. Remembrance Day is more than just facts and figures; it is part of our living past. It is the responsibility of each generation and every individual to keep the memory alive.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Services for seniors should go beyond providing showers

To the editor: Opinion - Re: Assisted living program for Seniors. Champlain LHIN CEO Chantale LeClerc paints a rosy picture for seniors living in their homes. The article states: can include visits by a personal support worker and community paramedics. Mom, who still lives in her own home, does receive personal care privileges (a shower) from a PSW when they decide to come! Paramedic

visits are when they are called in an emergency because she has fallen. LeClerc goes on to say: 1. Sometimes that’s help with a meal. Mom is denied help with preparation of lunch because it is not personal care which we have been told time and again “It must be personal care”. 2. Sometimes it’s checking in or accompanying them to a medical appointment. Oh yes, LeClerc neglected to say there is a charge for

these services. Some seniors do live in rural areas so therefore these services are either not available or there is a charge. When seniors live on a fixed income and support there home, they cannot afford a “check in” or appointments, never mind a cook or a housekeeper. 3. Sometimes it’s help putting up the Christmas tree. If Mom cannot get help with a meal, her toenails cut, or a floor swept then I am sure a Christmas tree is the least of her concerns.

When they have their assessments done and they qualify for more hours, why can they not have more services done for them. Keeping seniors in their homes requires more than just a shower. Sure, LeClerc, this looks good on paper but maybe it is time to put words into action and really see what goes on. It sure would be nice to go and ‘visit Mom’ and maybe put her Christmas tree up for her. Linda Guest Grand Calumet Island, Que.

Nurses’ association responds to article on healthcare initiatives To the editor: Opinion - Re: Many healthcare initiatives here or coming, say CEO, Renfrew Mercury November 7, 2013 Nurses applaud the effort to reduce the number of 911 calls coming from seniors living alone. However, we are hugely concerned about the health-care initiative underway in the Champlain LHIN in which paramedics are being tasked with visiting seniors to provide,

do so at a much lower cost, and are much more skilled than paramedics at that. Paramedics are highly paid providers, trained to respond to emergencies. We should protect their roles for it. This type of misallocation of funds and health human resources is the reason why the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario (RNAO) issued in October 2012 a report titled Enhancing Community Care for Ontarians (ECCO). This report clearly outlines the solu-

tions needed to provide seniors with primary care and prevent unnecessary emergency department utilization and ambulance transfers. We believe these recommendations would allow seniors to age in place safely and with the community supports they need to live a healthy life that serves their care needs as well.

THEFT

Some time in the early evening hours of Friday, Nov. 8 several items were stolen from a vehicle parked on Claude Street in Arnprior. Clothing, change, and a backpack were taken, while some of the clothing was later recovered. There are no suspects. A purse was stolen from a shopping cart while the victim was shopping at No Frills in Renfrew. The theft happened

on Saturday, Nov. 9. Const. Joe Roach is investigating. Police are investigating after fuel has reportedly been stolen from a public works yard in the Township of Greater Madawaska. A large quantity of fuel has been siphoned out of a storage tank at the public works yard on Lanark Road. The theft was reported Nov. 12. Const. Mark Yarmel is investigating.

Renfrew OPP officers responded to seven domestic disputes recently. One male was charged with assault with a weapon, assault and mischief.

Lost hunter helps his own cause

News – The search for a missing hunter had a happy ending recently thanks in part to him being properly prepared for such a incident. Renfrew OPP report the lost hunter was found safe and sound at about 5 a.m. in Greater Madawaska. The 45-year-old man realized he was lost deep in the bush about 2 p.m. Nov. 6. When he had not been located by 9 p.m., police were called. The search ended well for several reasons, say police. “He had supplies with him, he had a walkie-talkie to communicate with, and he stopped wandering when he realized he was lost and waited for help to arrive.” The OPP Emergency Response Team and a Canine

Unit were dispatched to the scene, and co-ordinated the search.

The case will appear on the court docket in Renfrew on Nov. 22.

BUSINESS CHARGED

BEWARE SOLICITORS

Urban Planet has been charged again for being open on a statutory holiday. Renfrew OPP report that following an investigation a charge had been laid under the Retail Business Holiday Act against the Renfrew store. OPP Constable Mark Yarmel observed Urban Planet, a retail clothing business, to be open and making sales on Thanksgiving day. The store’s general manager was issued a summons to appear in court in Renfrew charged with openly selling goods on a holiday, contrary to the Act.

OPP are urging residents to be aware of their rights when it comes to people soliciting door-to-door. Police have responded to several complaints in both Arnprior and Renfrew concerning aggressive and rude solicitors at people’s homes. The solicitors are demanding to see past hydro or energy bills, and are reluctant to leave when directed to do so. “If you don’t want someone at your door, direct them to leave,” advise police. “If they refuse to leave, they can be charged.” To report an aggressive solicitor, call the OPP at 1-888-310-1122.

Wreath of waxed leaves brought a bit of joy for Mother Mary Cook Memories

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

A small honey pail held all the pieces of wax that came off the top of the preserve and pickle jars once they were opened, and Mother would use it instead of buying a whole box of wax at Briscoe’s General Store. That alone should have impressed Father, but it did nothing of the sort. He still thought waxing leaves was right up there with trying to nurse geraniums through the winter once they had lost their bloom, which Mother was prone to do. But Mother paid him no heed. It was on a Saturday that cold fall day when she sent Audrey and me out to the yard. We were to bring in only those leaves which were perfectly formed, didn’t have a break in them, or a mark on them, and were to be the largest and reddest we could find. We shoved the fallen leaves

around the ground with the toes of our boots and ever so carefully gathered those we thought were exactly what Mother had asked for. Mother had given us a breadbasket to bring them in, and she told us over and over again to handle them very carefully, laying one on top of the other so they wouldn’t break. While Audrey and I were out in the yard picking through the leaves, which by that time in the fall were wet and soggy, Mother was in the kitchen melting the wax from the tops of the opened pickle and preserves jars on the Findlay Oval. She had spread out pages of the Renfrew Mercury on the bake table, and Audrey and I were told to very, very carefully, lay out the leaves, making sure they were placed

Lifestyle – Where Mother got the idea, no one knew. It certainly wasn’t from Aunt Bertha on the next farm. She was far too practical to do something that took a lot of time and really didn’t amount to a hill of beans when it came to keeping food on the table. No, my sister Audrey said it was probably something she picked up when she lived in New York. Father of course, said he never “heard� of anything so crazy in his whole life! Fall had settled in, and with the blasts of cold winter already closing in around us, but snow yet to come, Mother decided she would do something to keep the season alive as long as she could. The lawn at the side of the house still had plenty of fallen maple leaves on the ground, and Mother thought it would give a nice touch to the table at meal times if she could just bring a bit of those rich fall colours indoors. She was going to wax the leaves, and place them on a lace doily all around the spoon holder and the sugar bowl.

gently on the tea towel. Mother, as carefully as she would wipe a baby’s bottom, dabbed the leaves with a tea towel. She brought the pot over to the bake table and, picking up a leaf at a time by its stem, dipped it carefully into the melted wax. The leaf was then put onto yet another tea towel where Mother said anyone who touched it would do so at their own peril! Father came in for his supper, glanced at the waxed leaves, shook his head, and headed for the wash basin. Not a word was mentioned about the waxed leaves over supper. But Mother rushed us through ‘redding’ up the kitchen that night and had Audrey wipe the red-checkered oilcloth twice to make sure it was good and dry. She then carefully, making a circle around the sugar bowl and spoon holder, laid out the waxed leaves. She overlapped them and Audrey and I thought we had the cleverest mother in all of Renfrew County! With the simple placing of waxed leaves, Mother had turned our plain old table into something grand. Father complained there

was no place to put the coal oil lamp. Mother settled that by pulling down the Coleman lamp that hung over the table and was used only when we had company, as the fragile wicks cost a whole dime at Briscoe’s General Store. Of course, any wax that was left over was put aside to set, and then cut into blocks and again stored in the little honey pail to use when Mother again put down preserves and pickles. Nothing was wasted. Audrey and I thought the leaf display was lovely. And it stayed on the table for the whole week. Audrey said it was the steady throbbing heat of the Findlay Oval, Father said they had just died a natural death, but by the next Saturday, the leaves had started to curl and

See next week’s Mercury after Emerson dropped several spoons from the spoon holder, he said accidently, the leaves started to look the worst for wear. It was with great reluctance the next Saturday morning, what was left of the leaves was gathered up and tossed into the cook stove. Father said it was time. After all, that night it was our turn to host the Saturday night house party, and the old pine table was needed for euchre. A red geranium, which had seen better days, took the place of the wreath of wax leaves. It, and the waxed leaves, was Mother’s way of trying desperately to bring a bit of cheer to an old log house that for generations had known nothing more than a life lived in the simplest of ways.

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant, with officials from Victim Services of Renfrew County Lisa Oegema (centre) and Rose Boucher at right. find out more, contact the organization through the Arnprior or Renfrew OPP offices.

Funds allocated to address bullying of women Community – The Status of Women Canada is making funds available for community projects that take action to prevent cyber and sexual violence against women and girls. “Violence against women and girls has devastating and far-reaching effects on the community,” said RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant in making the announcement Nov. 8. “The projects supported by this call for proposals will re-

duce violence against women in our communities, and reach out to those who have been affected by such violence.” Recent high-profile cases have made cyberviolence and sexual violence against females top-of-mind concerns for Canadians, noted Gallant. The call for proposals will focus on two main areas: preventing and eliminating cyberviolence (e.g. cyberbullying, Internet luring, cyberstalking) against young

women and girls; and preventing or responding to sexual violence against women and girls through access to community services. Funding of up to $175,000 will be provided for projects at the local level, and up to $300,000 will be available for projects with a national scope. The deadline for organizations to apply for funding is Dec. 1. For more information on the program or on how to apply, visit www.cherylgallant.com.

Liberals continue to overspend: MPP Yakabuski Community - RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski has blasted Premier Kathleen Wynne and her provincial government for “abandoning any semblance of responsible deficit reduction and committing to spend Ontario deeper into debt.” In a news release issued Nov. 7 after the government tabled the Fall Economic Statement, Yakabuski said that “after years of reckless overspending, the Liberals keep finding new ways to outdo themselves.” The statement shows that provincial government spending continues to rise, while the deficit is expected grow from $9.2 billion last year to $11.7 billion this year. The net debt per capita, the amount that each individual Ontarian owes, now stands at $20,099 up from $18,796 a year ago. “They have missed yet another opportunity to put forward a plan that would put

Ontario on the right track,” said Yakabuski. “Instead of rolling up their sleeves and actually making some tough but necessary choices, the Liberals have taken the position that if they ignore the problem long enough it will go away. “Just yesterday, the Wall Street Journal called out Ontario for having a higher debt than California,” he added. “So how does Kathleen Wynne respond? By announcing her intention to spend more taxpayer money.” In contrast, the Ontario Progressive Conservative caucus continues to encourage the government to review the “bold ideas” contained in its series of white papers, said Yakabuski, adding that the proposals are also intended to encourage public discussion and feedback. “The people of this province deserve a government that can manage its own finances, put

jobs first and welcome businesses that will create opportunities for our young people,” he said. “It’s time to set Ontario up for success by changing the team that leads this province.” Meanwhile, NDP leader Andrea Horwath says she’s disappointed with the economic statement, suggesting it seems more focused on talk, than on action that will help families in tough times. “People were hoping their government would start tackling waste by closing corporate tax loopholes and capping CEO salaries, take action to protect jobs like those in manufacturing and resources, make life affordable for people hit with higher and higher bills,” said Horwath. “Instead, they got warmed over promises and the same old status quo from a government that seems more interested in holding onto power than delivering for the people who elected them.”

Gallant announces launch of local pre-budget consultations Community - Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant has announced the launch of pre-budget consultations for the 2014 federal budget. “I am asking for residents of the Upper Ottawa Valley to share their ideas and suggestions for next year’s federal budget,” says MP Gallant. “The Government of Canada wants to hear from Canadians on how to better position Canada for further job creation and economic growth,” she adds. In a news release, Gallant says that since coming to power in 2006, the Conservative government has placed emphasis on consulting with Canadians from across the country to find

the best ways to strengthen Canada’s economy. MP Gallant says she plans to meet with local business, academic and community leaders to discuss priorities. “Consulting directly with Canadians is an integral part of the budget process,” MP Gallant added. “A number of the ideas brought forward in local pre-budget meetings have been included in previous federal budgets.” Gallant welcomes suggestions on ways to improve government efficiency and reduce unnecessary spending.

PHOTO COURTESY WALKING WITH THE WOUNDED

Renfrew resident’s son part of South Pole ski challenge Steve Newman

News - Chris Downey of Cold Lake, Alta., continues to work in the Canadian Armed Forces as an aircraft technician. But there’s been a change of work plan the last few months, as the son of Renfrew resident Brian Downey is today in Antarctica with one of the three teams readying to ski to the South Pole in the 335-kilometre Walking with the Wounded Virgin Money South Pole Allied Challenge. Chris, 32, and other members of the Commonwealth, American or United Kingdom teams have spent part of the last several months training in Iceland, the U.K. and Norway for this event that is earmarked as an educational and fundraising vehicle. Each team includes soldiers who have been wounded on the job and rallied to embark on other physical challenges, such as this cross-country ski expedition. They flew to Antarctica this week and are scheduled to acclimatize before flying to the start point, to begin the challenge in early December. Downey’s team, which is also known as Team Soldier On, includes one other Canadian, Alexandre Beaudin D’anjou of Arthabasca, Que., and other Commonwealth country members. Downey lost total vision in his right eye and suffered many other injuries in Afghanistan when an improvised explosive device went off May 3, 2010. Downey’s father was unsure his son would survive after suffering a collapsed lung, severe shrapnel wounds, burns and lacerations to his upper body, a broken and shattered jaw, two aneurysms and loss of his upper lip, teeth and gums. Chris also lost one of his best friends, Petty Officer 2nd Class Douglas Craig Blake, in the blast. “He is an inspiration for so many people, including myself,� says Brian of his son. “I understand why he is taking on this challenge. I have heard him say many times, ‘If I can help just one person from my story then it’s all worth it.’ I know that he is living life and happy and that is all a father could ask for.� Through the expedition, Chris says he hopes to show others with injuries that they are not alone in their personal battles. High-profile participants in the South Pole Allied Challenge include Prince Harry for Team Glenfiddich (U.K.), actor Dominic West for Team Soldier On, and Hollywood actor Alexander Skarsgard for Team Noom (U.S.).

Mahusky and Vice in cast of Orpheus musical Be a Friend Events - Lawrence Mahusky is preparing for his latest role since bringing The Cowardly Lion to life on stage. Be a Friend is a musical for young audiences, performed by adults – by local playwright, Iris Winston, with music by Gord Carruth and Bart Nameth and lyrics by Gord Carruth. Orpheus will be presenting the musical at Orpheus House, 17 Fairmont Ave., Ottawa Dec. 21 and 22. In the musical, Sammy the skunk (Fabian Santos) and his mother (Donna St-Jean) have recently moved into the woodland neighbourhood, taking up residence in a newly-vacated fox den that is much bigger than their previous abode. Sammy’s mother thinks it is time for Sammy to make some new friends. Reluc-

forest, where his mother forbids Sammy to visit. Darkness descends and the squirrels get lost. Sammy hears their pleas for helpand, after figuring out how to release his scent when he isn’t threatened, following Sammy’s odour saves the squirrels. Sammy discovers that his mother is right, in order to have a friend; sometimes you need to be a friend first. Rounding out the cast are Mary Ellen Vice and Alianne Rozon as Suzy and Steffy and Barb Seabright as the storyteller. The main themes are overcoming loneliness, discrimination and being bullied. Tickets are $10 each general admission and can be purchased by calling Orpheus at 613-729-4318 or on the Orpheus website at orpheus-theatre.ca

tantly, Sammy takes his mother’s advice and heads out bravely into the woods to attempt to make friends. After a couple of noble efforts he finally connects with Sally the squirrel (Skye MacDiarmid). Among Sally’s squirrel friends is Seth (Lawrence Mahusky), the squirrel who has no time for skunks. In fact, Seth doesn’t believe squirrels should associate with skunks. After persevering in his attempt to befriend Sally and her squirrel friends, they eventually relent and allow him to play. However, the intent of Seth and his buddies is to make fun of (bully) Sammy. Sally confronts them about this but is unable to change their behaviour and in the end all of the squirrels go to a part of the

Peewees lose in OT at Silver Stick final Peter Clark

PETER CLARK/METROLAND

The St. Joseph’s Jaguars captured both 2013 Renfrew County junior and senior boys volleyball championship Nov. 7. In front row from left are Junior Jaguars Nolan Murphy, Simon Rowat and John Agnew holding the junior hardware; and Cole Murray, Joe Hanniman and Austin Taylor with the senior championship trophy; second row, Elijah Narraway, junior coach Renee Turcotte, Alex Paquette, Xander Woertink, Rory Whalen, Michael Vice, Curtis Sawbridge, Braydon McEnroe and senior coach Trent Skelhorn; and back row, Kyle Labelle, Jake Freemark, Cole Turcotte, Braeden Troutman, Hayden McIntyre, Evan Naismith and Nych Paquette. Missing are Junior Jaguars Quinn Solar, Jake McGrimmon, Dan Corcoran and Brad Shean; and Senior Jaguars Skylar Eady, Brandon Mosseau and Tyler McIntyre.

Senior Jaguars capture EOSSAA, next stop OFSAA Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - The great ride for the St. Joseph’s Jaguars senior boys volleyball team continues. After an unbeaten 9-and-0 season to nail down first place in the Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association, St. Joseph’s reeled off four more wins to claim the 2013 Renfrew County title. At the Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) high school senior boys volleyball championship for A schools last Thursday before the home crowd at the Jag Den, the Jaguars suffered their first loss of the season, 25-21, 25-18 to the Granite Ridge Education Centre Gryphons of Sharbot Lake. But not to worry, the Jaguars bounced right back. St. Joseph’s scored a 25-10, 25-18 triumph over Plantagenet to qualify for the EOSSAA playoff round, and then claimed a thrilling match over Elgin’s Rideau District High School. The Jaguars took the first set 25-10, but then battled in front of a noisy crowd to advance to the final, 25-23. As fate would have it, that pitted the No. 2-ranked Jaguars up against the No. 4-seed in the final, the same Granite Ridge team St. Joseph’s had lost to earlier. There was no overconfidence factor as

the Jaguars worked their way to a 25-17 win in game one. With the EOSSAA title in sight, St. Joseph’s never trailed in the final, until a fivepoint string of points pushed the Gryphons into a 22-20 lead. After an well-placed time out called by coach Trent Skelhorn, the Jaguars reversed their fortunes, and scored three consecutive points and five of the next six to capture the EOSSAA crown while ending their second consecutive match with a 25-23 win. It took a lot of hard work and determination, coach Skelhorn said. He said, the Jaguars left everything they had on the court. Granite Ridge outlasted Glengarry 2624, 25-23 to reach the final. The Senior Jaguars now take their 16and-1 record into the Ontario (OFSAA) championship Thursday through Saturday of this week in North Bay. The Jaguars are ranked 10th of 20 teams in at OFSAA. They are in pool with Woodland Christian High School (ranked fourth), Durham Christian High School (7), Elliot Lake Secondary School (13) and Ecole Secondaire Marc Garneau (17). Matches are scheduled for Chippewa, Widdifield, West Ferris and Algonquin today and Friday. The consolation final at 1 p.m., bronze medal match at 3 p.m., and gold medal

JUNIOR BOYS VOLLEYBALL

The Renfrew County champion Junior Jaguars were in Cornwall Nov. 13 for junior boys EOSSAA volleyball. “Although unsuccessful in our matches, the boys can chalk up the day to experience,” coach Renee Turcotte said. “Many thanks to the team members for their enthusiasm, dedication and laughs. What a fantastic season! Looking forward to a county championship repeat next year!” coach Turcotte added. SENIOR GIRLS HOOPS

The Jaguars qualified for EOSSAA senior girls basketball as a wildcard. After the two-hour trek to Ingleside, the Renfrew County finalists tipped off against the Opeongo Wildcats. Opeongo prevailed 31-19 in a rematch of the previous week’s county final. Rideau High School outgunned the Jaguars by a 54-34 margin in St. Joseph’s second game.

MIDGET HOUSE

The Renfrew Minor Hockey Association hosted an eight-team midget house hockey tournament Sunday at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. The Renfrew midget team reached the B final before dropping a 2-1 decision to Nepean. Earlier, the local squad split a pair of 5-3 verdicts. Renfrew lost to the Almonte Thunder in the tournament opener, and rebounded with a win by the same 5-3 margin over the Orleans Blues. Nicholas Hazen had seven goals in the tournament, including four in the Renfrew win. Jessey Chapieski and Chase Parkinson added singles for the Midget Wolves house squad. Linden Fraser and Evan Zohr carded two helpers. Jordan Vandersleen tended two games between the pipes and Riley Rathwell one. It was a tough day Saturday for Renfrew’s two atom house teams at Renfrew’s annual eight-team atom tournament. Barker’s Collision Centre was blanked 5-0 by the Nepean Gladiators in the local team’s first game. Game two resulted in a 2-1 setback to Nepean White. Kenny Ingram notched Barker’s lone tally, unassisted. Emma White was between the pipes for Barker’s. Canadian Tire lost 6-0 to Kanata and 2-0 to the Richmond Royals. Katie Brydges and Hope Simons shared netminding duties. Kanata went on to win the tournament. 0307.R0011957724

VALLEY BYTES

match at 5 p.m. will all be played at Nipissing University Saturday. Last week’s championship was the Jaguars’ third EOSSAA senior boys volleyball title (2001, 2002). St. Joseph’s also captured OFSAA in 2002.

Sports - To say that the Renfrew Peewee Timberwolves did their town and Upper Ottawa Valley Hockey League proud at the Regional Silver Stick hockey tournament in Pembroke last weekend would best be described as an understatement. The Wolves couldn’t get much closer to a championship. The Bancroft Jets scored 4:50 into sudden-death overtime to win the 2013 regional title 3-2 over the Peewee Wolves at the Pembroke Community Centre (Pem Ice 2) Sunday afternoon. Jayce Greer and Lucas Crozier scored Renfrew goals in the final, tying the game on each occasion. The Peewee Wolves went 2-and-1 in division play with wins over the Highland Storm and Smiths Falls Bears by respective 2-1 and 5-1 margins, sandwiched around a 2-1 loss to the Lakefield Chiefs. The Wolves blanked the Newcastle Stars 4-0 in the quarterfinal, and edged the Nepean Raiders 2-1 in the semifinal. Kolby Lister led the Wolves offence with seven goals in the tournament, including a hat trick in the quarterfinal. Tanton Landriault had three goals while Greer and Colby Bleeks both scored twice. Matthew Finan and Crozier supplied singles. Greer added three assists, and Lister and Nycholas Pearse two. The Silver Stick website notes that Wolves goaltender Jacob Miller allowed just eight goals against for a 1.30 average over six games. His weekend included the shutout over Newcastle. It’s the Bantam Timber-

wolves turn for Regional Silver Stick competition this weekend. Renfrew is in a division with the West Island Royals, Bancroft Jets and Loyalist Jets.

Oren Frood remembered Sports - Oren Frood of Renfrew was among those remembered as families gathered in Kanata Nov. 17. Members of the O’Connor, Doyle, Dolan, Killeen, Kilby, O’Callaghan, Cadieux, Frood, Wilson and McEwan families were expected to attend.

Families were invited to bring photos, family trees and stories to share. They remembered Antoine Cadieux, who worked for the Hudson Bay Company in 1860; the Killeens, who descended from among the first settlers in March Township in 1825; and

Oren Frood of Renfrew, who played in the 1910 Stanley Cup. Oren Claude Frood, in the years before his service in the Great War, had an interesting, if short-lived, career in professional hockey. In the years around 1910, the Stanley Cup was awarded to the top hockey team. Any team that won its league championship could challenge the team hold-

tions on run day totalled $1,860. “A running event usually draws limited numbers but it attracts attention and several non-runners dropped in with their donations after the run began,” said McIntyre. “Also several runners brought donations from non-runner friends and family. I am extremely pleased with what has been collected so far,” McIntyre said. The run began and ended at the Renfrew Recreation Centre with 5-, 10and 15-km routes.

ing the Cup. Of course, that was also in the days of the Renfrew Millionaires. In 1910, the Berlin Dutchmen (the town of Berlin is now known as Kitchener) were the champions of the Ontario Professional Hockey League, and challenged the Montreal Wanderers for the Cup. See Frood, page 29

Sports - The results from the first draws are starting to come in, which also means the curling season is now half way to the Christmas break. The Thursday afternoon mixed league had the team of Rob Warren, Pat Lee or Jim Harbord at vice, Eric Craig and Louise Jamieson tied at 4-and-1 with the Barb Westgarth quartet of Andy Sklepowicz, Alain Pauze and Joan Eaton. To break the tie, the Warren team came out on top, having defeated the Westgarth rink during the draw. Half a game back was the Yvonne Sklepowicz foursome. The very close first draw for the day men resulted in the Mack Gibbons trophy going to the team of Barry Griese, Peter Price, Bill Vant-Haff and Bill Neff at 5-and-2, with the Wes Rathwell, Gary Smith, Rob Warren and Andy Sklepowicz rinks all at 4-3. The Tuesday day ladies declared the Anne Windle

rink with Christine Johnson as vice, Susan Hanniman at second and Shauna Lemenchick playing lead as winners of the first draw and the Friendship Trophy. The younger curlers are also in high gear as Thursday after school has the little rockers and juniors hitting the ice under the able tutelage of Diane Burns and her helpers. The youngsters are all steadily improving and getting better each week. St. Joseph’s Catholic School from Calabogie is also enjoying an introduction to curling, as the whole school population is joining us every Tuesday morning in November. It is hard to say who is enjoying it the most, the teachers or the students! The next event at the curling club will be the Gord Eady cash spiel on Saturday, Dec. 7. Let Gord know if you are entering a team or interested in playing or helping on that day. Entry is limited to eight teams, so register early.

5 for Fighting Men’s Cancers run RBC celebrates sports in Canada through Renfrew streets Nov. 23 RBC Sports Day

Peter Clark

peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - 5 for Fighting has nothing to do with the penalty for extra curricular action in a hockey match. Not in this case. In the spirit of Movember, this five-kilometre run Saturday, Nov. 23 is named 5 for FIGHTING! Men’s Cancers. Wear your favourite team jersey and a moustache, organizers encourage. Registration at Valley Source for Sports is at 9:30 a.m. while the run starts at 10 a.m. “It is recommended that you RSVP on the www.runfrew.ca website and pay on the

day,” said local marathoner and event co-ordinator Colleen Berry. The cost is $5. Last-minute entrants are welcome and additional donations are also appreciated. Cheques are to be made to Canadian Cancer Society. The five-kilometre route starts and ends at the Raglan Street-Renfrew Avenue West intersection in front of the town clock. It includes a loop around the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. The event promotes participation in a physical activity, marrying two sporting interests which are characteristic of this community and in doing so, charging an economical entry fee with proceeds going

to a charity. This is an inaugural event to complement ‘Movember’, Berry adds. Prizes include a draw for a Sherwood Movember Hockey Stick donated by Valley Source for Sports; and two awards sponsored by Kate Windle, the best (real) grown moustache and the best fake moustache. Refreshments for everyone – treats, and chocolate or white milk, and water – will also be available. The milk is courtesy of Tracey’s Centreside Dairy. 5 for Fighting contacts are Larry Vice of Valley Source for Sports, Canadian Cancer Society Renfrew chapter president Ray Beimers and co-ordinator Colleen Berry.

Sports - The not-for-profit Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) invites Ontarians to experience exceptional fun, camaraderie and adventure by enjoying snowmobiling on available OFSC trails this winter. For the first time this season, 2014 snowmobile trail permits are now available directly from the OFSC’s community based snowmobile clubs and their volunteers or from club designated retail outlets across the province. There are two permit types available until Dec. 1. Seasonal permits are available from clubs on or before Dec. 1 for $210, a saving of

$50 off the regular permit fee of $260. Snowmobilers purchasing online at www.ofsc. on.ca can save an additional $7.50, thanks to no charge for seasonal permit processing fees until Dec. 1. Any snowmobiler owning a sled that is model year 1999 or older is entitled to buy a 2014 classic permit. Primarily available online for $140 on or before Dec. 1, a classic permit offers a saving of $30 off the regular fee of $170. Classic permits are also available on a limited basis at retail.

clubs operate over 30,000 kilometres of snowmobile trails throughout Ontario that rely on the revenue from the sale of permits to pay operational costs. These trails generate almost $1 billion of winter tourism economic impact annually, while enabling family riders from all walks of life to enjoy winter by visiting many places and sights only accessible by snowmobile. OFSC trails are marked, mapped and maintained for the use and enjoyment of permit holders.

After dropping the tournament opener 4-1 to Ottawa East, the Renfrew squad blanked Stittsville 8-0 and Nepean Edge 4-0 to reach the semifinal. Backstopped by Carter Atkins’ third consecutive shutout, Fraser’s turned back Nepean Team A 4-0, and then topped Renfrew Metro in an all-Renfrew final 3-1. Brett Clouthier paced the Fraser’s attack with six

goals in the tournament, including a hat trick in the semifinal win over the Nepean Edge. Brandon Hanniman added five goals, Dawson Brown four and Braeden Mackin a pair. Singles came from Darin Verch, Stephen Young and Brendan Barber. Young, Hanniman and Brown scored for Fraser’s in the final. Brown and Hanniman led the assist parade in the tournament with five apiece. Atkins went the distance between the pipes for Fraser’s. Atkins, Clouthier, Barber and Brown were named game MVPs. Barber earned two assists in the final. - With files from Donna Young

Raider junior girls silver medallists at EOSSAA hoops peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - The Renfrew Collegiate Raiders were decided underdogs as they heading into the Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) high school junior girls basketball championship in Alexandria Nov. 13. RCI was seeded fourth of six teams, but the Renfrew County finalists sure gained respect as coach Jason Wilson’s Raiders put a stamp on the tournament in a hurry. “In a more aggressive style of basketball than we were used to, the girls played a great first game,” coach Wilson said. The Raiders led by seven points at the half, and although the lead was later trimmed to two, strong defence and clutch foul shooting allowed RCI to bump off the top-ranked Rideau High School of Elgin. After posting a convincing win over the Almonte Thunderbolts, the Raiders took on a tenacious St. Thomas squad from Russell in the final.

“Again, the girls had to contend with a very physical style of play,” coach Wilson said. The Raiders trailed by 13 points at half time before battling back to cut the deficit to four. But a full comeback wasn’t in the cards. The result capped off a fine 2013 hoops season for the Junior Raiders. They returned home Eastern Ontario single A silver medallists. The team consisted of Andrea Martin, Sage Melville, Courtney Roach, Mickerra Shepherd, Caitlin Kelly, Breanna Kiss, Shelby Hartwick, Niki Nagy, Jammie Banks, Courtney Briscoe, Willow McGregor and Sophie Scheuneman. JUNIOR RAIDERS FOOTBALL JAMBOREE

The RCI Junior Raiders hosted a junior football jamboree with Fellowes and Mackenzie for Grade 9, 10 and 11 players at Lindsay Field in early November. RCI won its two games, 19-

7 over the Falcons and 12-7 over the Mustangs. Brandon McDonald had two touchdowns in the first game and one in the second. Jared Leclaire also made a fingertip catch and run for a TD versus the Pembroke school. Bailey Smith added a single point. The Raiders won the game over the Deep River contingent in dramatic fashion. Trailing 7-6, RCI opted to punt the ball into the Mackenzie end zone to gain a tie. However, the Mustangs fumbled the kick return, and Brendan Thompson pounced on the loose ball in the end zone to give RCI the victory. Stephen Poirier also recovered a fumble deep in Mackenzie territory. Duston Brown added an interception for the Raiders. The Raiders host their annual Renfrew Roundball Cup senior boys basketball earlybird tournament this Saturday. Action runs all day in the Grant Gymnasium.

Wolves dominate in weekend wins

Sports - The Renfrew Timberwolves posted a pair of impressive wins on the weekend to open a bit of breathing room between second place and the four teams battling for the final two playoff spots in the Valley Division of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League. They also closed the gap on the Valley Divisionleading Arnprior Packers to a single point. The Wolves snared the Clarence Creek Beavers 8-1 Friday night at the MaTe-Way Activity Centre. On Sunday, it was another solid performance as Renfrew posted a 6-2 win over the Stittsville Royals at the Goulbourn Recreational Complex. WOLVES 8, CLARENCE 1

The Wolves turned in a superlative effort, dominating from beginning to end. The Renfrew club jumped out to a 4-0 firstperiod lead while baffling the Beavers 18-4 in shots on goal. If not for the play of

starting Clarence Creek goaltender Gianmarco De Meis, the score might have been higher still through 20 minutes. It read 6-0 Wolves after two periods, and 8-zip late in the third before the visitors scored. Teddy Suckow had a pair of powerplay goals to lead a balanced Renfrew attack. Bailey Hein, Sean Kyte, Scott Conroy, Tanner Smith, Patrick Dick and Troy Taylor collected evenstrength markers. Cole Allard added three assists and Smith two. The only disappointment on the evening for the Wolves was a Nick Draper Clarence Creek powerplay tally that broke Matt Schroeder’s shutout bid with just 1:35 remaining. The Wolves outshot Clarence Creek 43-19 while the teams combined for 108 minutes in penalties.

22 shots edge overall. Luke Lapierre sparked the Renfrew offence with a two-goal effort. Bailey Hein, Issac Anderson, Tanner Smith and Patrick Dick added singles for the Wolves. Cole Allard and Alex Campbell earned two helpers. Brayden St.-Germain backstopped the Wolves to

Wasmund Scholarship 2013 recipients , from left, RCI grads Johnny Le, Courtney Miller and Jocelyn Howes; and Tijana Craig of Griffith who attended Opeongo High.

Wasmund Family Memorial Scholarship recipients The Wasmund family

Community - The Wasmund Family Memorial Scholarship (WFMS) Award was established in memory of Theodore and Esther Wasmund to create an opportunity for students from North Hastings and North Renfrew counties to attend Queen’s University. The three recipients of the Wasmund Family Memorial Scholars Award in 2013 have begun their first years at Queen’s University — Renfrew Collegiate Institute graduates Johnny Le and Courtney Miller, and Nicole Soanes who attended North Hastings High School in Bancroft. “We understand their qualifications and achievements are very impressive and we have full confidence that Nicole, Johnny and Courtney will add to the strong traditions of excellence that students from North Hastings and Renfrew counties enjoy in attending Queen’s,� said a Wasmund family announcement. “We are delighted with their selection and wish them the very best at Queen’s.�

Jocelyn Howes. who received a Wasmund Family Memorial Scholarship (WFMS) in 2012, was the first WFMS winner from Renfrew Collegiate Institute. RCI GRAD JOHNNY LE

Johnny Le, who grew up in Renfrew, has chosen to enter the Faculty of Arts and Science at Queen’s. “Living in the culturally diverse environment of Queen’s is a concept that I find very appealing,� he said. “As one of the most prestigious schools in Canada, Queen’s University attracts some of the brightest minds from around both the country and the world: people from many different backgrounds and origins.� COURTNEY MILLER

Courtney Miller was raised in a Renfrew family, whose two older sisters studied science and engineering at Queen’s. Not surprisingly, Courtney is

enrolled in the Faculty of Arts and Science, with plans to major in chemistry or biochemistry. Courtney’s long-term plans after graduation are not fully fixed; but she is looking at further graduate school studies for a degree in pharmacy or medicine. “Whichever career I choose,� she says, “the future will involve health and/or medicine for providing help to those in need.� Last year’s (2012) recipients of the WFMS awards are now in their second year at Queen’s They are Emily Welsh of Bancroft, Tijana Craig of Griffith who attended Opeongo HS, and Jocelyn Howes, who is the first WFMS Award winner from Renfrew Collegiate Institute. Emily Welsh is enrolled in the Faculty of Arts and Science and plans to complete her major in life sciences and a minor in

classical studies (archaeology). Tijana Craig is enrolled in the Faculty of Arts and Science and plans to do a medial between psychology, science and French studies, while taking medicalrelated courses. “My future plan is to be enrolled in a medical school, with a focus on pediatrics,� said Tijana. “I have had a previous job as a social worker intern and enjoyed working with people, especially children. My longterm goal would be to establish a clinic in the rural Ottawa Valley area. Jocelyn Howes chose the Faculty of Engineering, which is well suited to her earlier keen interests in physics, science and mathematics at RCI. Jocelyn enjoyed her first year, especially the tremendous school spirit, traditions, and the cooperation with her classmates. She stayed in residence on the all-engineering floor, and believes this was a good choice because she made a lot of great friends, and people were always willing to help when needed.

RCI students, staff remember Taylor Virgin

Raider Review

At Renfrew Collegiate Institute, students and staff remembered those who served for our country at the school’s Remembrance Day assembly on Nov. 11. Staff and students watched a multimedia show that depicted the hardships and triumphs of war. They also listened to student speakers and a group of RCIS students who sang After the War. The song coincided with pictures of the school’s previous 81 Raiders who had enlisted in either World War One or World War Two. Within the one hour service, Raiders were privileged to the ďŹ rst-hand accounts of war experiences from guest speaker Lt.-Col.

Lt.-Col. Apostoliuk Holly Apostoliuk. At the assembly, Lt.-Col. Apostoliuk spoke of her experiences as a Public Affairs ofďŹ cer. She has served twice in Bosnia in 2000 and 2003 and was deployed with the Disaster Assistance Response Team to Pakistan in 2005. Lt.-Col. Apostoliuk was also a member of the Strategic Advisory Team and helped develop communications strategy for the Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development in

Afghanistan in 2006. In 2008, she was a public affairs advisor for NATO’S International Security Assistance Force Spokesperson in 2008. She told us, “I wanted to make a difference in the world and represent my country. For me, that meant being in the Army, ready to go wherever I was needed, to help people who needed help and be ready to ďŹ ght for Canada.â€? she said. During the afternoon, three RCI classes were able to listen to Lt.-Col. Apostoliuk and Sgt. Lester Budden talk about their personal experiences within the military. Students were able to ask personal questions and neither shied away from answering. Sgt. Budden cur-

rently works with the Intelligence Branch of the Canadian Forces, but has been tasked overseas to Afghanistan three times. Although, Lt-Col. Apostoliuk does not compare her service to those who fought in combat operations, she is proud to be a Canadian soldier. She also reminded the school why it is so important to remember Remembrance Day and shared two minutes of silence with our Raiders to remember all of the service people, heroes, and victims that have been affected by war. She leads the public affairs team that provides support to chief military personnel and to legal ofďŹ ces in the Department of National Defence and Canadian Armed Forces.

The students and families of the Renfrew elementary school responded with overwhelming kindness for the needy in Renfrew over seven days by collecting 1,211 items for the Renfrew and District Food Bank. The staff at Our Lady of Fatma are proud of the tremendous work the students put into organizing and collecting for the food drive and their

These Grade 3/4 students at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School display part of the collection of 1,200 items for the Renfrew and District Food Bank. Teacher Stephen Lance backs up students (from front to back) Kellie Dowdall, Mikolas Horvath, Bohdanna Novossiltzeff, Holly Calvinho, Mackenzie Scerba and Maeve Elliot.

It has been a fantastic season for the team, coached by teacher Trent Skelhorn. We wish them the best of luck as they compete in North Bay. The annual Fall Coffee House begins tonight, Nov. 21, at 7 p.m. Admission is $5 at the door. It includes a bottomless cup of coffee or tea, and a night of fantastic entertainment by students in the performing arts programs. Snacks will be available for purchase to support the Dominican Republic Team. The Florida Fresh Citrus fundraiser orders have been sent in, and

consistent participation throughout October’s Food Drive Week, said principal Jeannie Armstrong. Three classes had over 200 items each, including one kindergarten class. Armstrong spearheaded the initiative with assistance from teacher Stephen Lance in Grade 3/4. “The positive and collaborative environment among students and staff at Our Lady of Fatima,� he said, “is the reason we were able to collect over 1,000 items in seven days for this worthwhile cause.�

the orders are expected to arrive in early December. Thank you to all who have supported the Performing Arts program at SJHS. A date has been set for the annual winter semi-formal dance. It will be held on Friday, Dec. 6, beginning at 8 p.m. Students should look for tickets, as the spirit committee will be selling them in the upcoming weeks. SJHS is still collecting new or gently used snowsuits, sweaters, boots and winter accessories. This warm clothing will be distributed by the Children’s Poverty Action Network to keep children warm throughout the winter. We are also collecting gently used toys, puzzles, games and

stuffed animals to bedonated. The Pastoral Team has collected several shoeboxes, filled will small gifts for children who will otherwise receive nothing for Christmas. These boxes will be distributed all over the world by Operation Christmas Child, a charity that was founded in 1990. Remember to check out the school website, s j c h s r e n f r ew. w o r d press.com, for current events and articles. The media classes have been working very hard to present news on a number of social media platforms. You can check out the school’s Facebook page and Twitter account for up-to-the-minute coverage.

You’ll delight in how each home is uniquely decorated for Christmas and be inspired by

what makes each one an appealing family home throughout the year. Three of our seven homes are well worth the short drive out-of-town. Two are on the Ottawa River; one an open concept dwelling that does a marvelous job of integrating a cottage like feel into a modern house design. The other is a quaint home featuring three Christmas Villages, one of which has almost 100 pieces and

an ATM machine is located in the Emergency department for your convenience. Don’t miss the Renfrew Art Guild exhibit in the hall between the Gift Shop and cafeteria. Take the opportunity to view their work and chat with some very talented artists.

Dec. 12 in the O’Brien Theatre. Mr. Owen Smiley of Toronto has been engaged for that occasion. Mr. Smiley takes rank among Canada’s finest entertainers, and when in Renfrew a season or two ago provided a programme of pure delight. Every selections was a gem and the bearing and rendition of the elocutionist left nothing to be desired.

NOV. 2, 1913

AN OLD LINE TARIFF: When Mr. D.W. Budd was clearing out the office in what is known as the Mills block, he observed on the wall an old poster which he thought was sufficiently a relic of the past to be saved. He accordingly soaked it off the wall and presented it to The Mercury. It had been on the wall for 44 years since the days when the office was occupied by Wm Halpenny; and is a relic of the early days before Renfrew had a railroad of its own. RCI COMMENCEMENT: The commencement of the Renfrew Collegiate will be held on Friday evening,

RENFREW BREEDERS WIN PRIZES WITH HERD AT OTTAWA FAIR: For the first time in eight years Renfrew County Holstein Breeders exhibited a county herd at Ottawa Winter Fair. The exhibitors owners exhibiting were X. Plaunt

at Toronto.

OLGA LEWIS From the Old Files & Sons, Allan Francis & Son, Peter Briscoe All of Northcote and John Bulmer and Son, Cobden. The competition at Ottawa was the heaviest in years especially in the Holstein classes. Despite strong competition, the three-year-old heifer woned by X Plaunt & Son, stood first in her class, Plaunt’s aged cow was fifth and Francis’ two-yearold heifer in milk, third, George Peever’s bull fourth, his bull calf and Bulmer’s heifer fourth. CARTER SCHOLARSHIPS FOR

YEAR 1938 : Once more all three Carter Scholarships allotted in Renfrew County have come to Renfrew town, winners being Arthur Collins of this place, Karl Fritch of Cloyne, and John M. Duggan of town, the last named a son of the chairman of the Board of Education. The scholarships are of the value of $100, $60 and $40, all going to upper school pupils. This trio of bright students may now be found at University, Arthur Collins and Karl Fritch at Queen’s and John Duggan

P L A N T CLOSES: Polyfibre Ltd. has announced it will be closing its doors Dec. 15 because of a fall off in orders for fiberglass reinforced plastic mouldings. Dan Stewart company president and one of its owners, said Thursday, the owners tried to sell the plant, but couldn’t find anybody to purchase it. As a result the 23 workers now employed at the plant will be laid off in five weeks when the company closes. Mr. Stewart said the number of people employed at Polyfibre has been fluctuating since last summer. There were between 23 and 30 people working there up un-

til recently. Polyfibre has been a leading producer of fiberglass reinforced mouldings since it opened in the 1950s. More than 150 fibreglass shelters have been used in the hard environments since 1970, including the sub arctic and the desert. The company has also built a scientific laboratory in the north, benches for the CNR, stations across Canada and transportable Post Office buildings in Montreal.

Another one of Renfrew’s Hidden Gems

7 Wintario Draw will be held in Renfrew. Last remaining obstacle ironed out was assurance from Bell Canada that the signal was strong enough for television.

Seniors’ Christmas luncheon Dec. 5 at Wing Judy Ewart

Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support

On behalf of the volunteers and staff of Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our veterans and those individuals currently serving our country for all that you have done and continue to do to keep our country safe and allow us our freedom. We are pleased to be able to provide programs that assist veterans and all seniors to be able to stay in their homes. With the snow that we had this weekend, it is a reminder that winter is on its way and that

we have programs that can help make getting through the winter easier for seniors and adults with disabilities. Home maintenance workers are available to make sure that your driveways and walkways are kept clear of snow and ice and grocery delivery volunteers are available to make sure that you can get your groceries when you cannot get out on your own. Give us a call at 613-432-7691 to access either of these services and to register for the grocery delivery program. When you call in to the office you may hear a new voice on the phone. Susan McGregor has joined our staff as the Program

Support Assistant and brings a wealth of experience working with seniors. She will be kept quite busy as she assists staff and volunteers with service requests, fundraising, publicity, community relations and volunteer co-ordination. Our annual Christmas luncheon will be held Dec. 5 at the Wing. This year the music will start at 11 a.m. with Barry Martin and Country Favourites and then after lunch the Queen Elizabeth School Glee Club will be performing some Christmas selections for us. Tickets are $12 and available at Aikenhead’s Drug Store and the Home Support office until Dec. 2.

We wish to extend our deepest gratitude to all our family, friends, and co-workers who supported us in our recent loss of our dear Mom and Granny, Doreen Dodge. The donations to Arnprior Braeside McNab Seniors at Home Program, to our extended Dodge Family for a great meal and for always being there.

CARD OF THANKS

A mere “Thank-You” seems so inadequate to express my most sincere appreciation to so many of you wonderful people. Special thanks to Dr. W.E. Gordon, Dr. Kiskis and all the staff at Arnprior and District Hospital, all of whom treated my dear Jack with excellent care and compassion. Special thanks also to Andre Pilon and his staff for the very professional care and guidance at such a sad time for me and my family this past August. Andre made us feel like we were old friends, and we had just met him. Special thanks to Cathy Williamson who conducted the beautiful funeral service, our very loved Grandchildren that did the readings, and to our dear friend Keray O’Reilly for the very entertaining eulogy.

We wish Heaven had a telephone So we could hear your voice again We thought of you today But that is nothing new We thought about you yesterday And days before that too. We think of you in silence We often speak your name All we have is memories and A picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, From which we will never part Our creator has you in his arms, We have you in our hearts. God’s Lent Child I’ll lend you for a little while, a child of mine, God said. For you to love the while he lives and mourn for when he’s dead. It may be six or seven years, or forty-two or three, But will you till I call him back, take care of him for me?

He’ll bring his charms to gladden you and should his stay be brief, You’ll always have his memories as a solace in your grief. I cannot promise he will stay since all from earth return, But there are lessons taught below I want this child to learn. I’ve looked this whole world over in search of teachers true, And from the folk that crowd Life’s Lane, I have chosen you. Now will you give him all your love and not think the labour vain, Nor hate me when I come to take this lent child back again? I fancy that I heard them say “Dear God, thy will be done” For all the joys this child will bring the risk of grief we’ll run. We will shelter him with tenderness, we’ll love him while we may, And for all the happiness we’ve ever known, we’ll ever grateful stay But should the angels call him much sooner than we planned, We will brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.

Muriel Richard May 24, 1946 - November 22, 2009 CLR484467

Peacefully, surrounded by family, at Renfrew Hospice. “Al,â€? the great patriarch of our bountiful family: son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, his legacy and memory secure for many succeeding generations. Son of Harry Lunan Gallon, a car repairman for the Canadian National Railroad, and Hilda Euphemia (Gallant), a school teacher who also operated the family general store in New Carlisle, Quebec. Predeceased by sister Beth, daughter Sandra and wife Connie. Survived by daughters Cathy, Pamela ( Ralph Roloff) and Nancy (Tom Conners); son Harry Chris (Nathalie Haddad); “Granddadâ€? to David, Elias, Aviva, Joel and Jordan; Eric, Sonya and Anita; Ryan, Dylan and Nathalie; Nicholas and Quinton; “Great Granddadâ€? to Karmyn, Jacob, Yoni and Jack. Al was born November 30, 1930 in New Carlisle, Quebec and graduated from New Carlisle High School in 1947. He attended Bishops College in Lennoxville, Quebec for a term before moving to Montreal where he worked for National Breweries. In 1950, he enrolled at the University of New Brunswick in the Forestry faculty. He played offensive guard for the UNB football team in his freshman year and participated in the Red and Black Revue. While in his last year at UNB, he met Hazel Constance Stacey and they married September 23, 1954. Upon graduation in 1955, Al accepted a position with Canadian International Paper and was posted to Maniwaki, Quebec. He was subsequently offered and accepted a position with Imperial Oil in Montreal, where their ďŹ rst daughter Catherine was born. Al shortly thereafter assumed the position of mill foreman with Pine Land Timber Company in Foleyet, Ontario and then accepted a position as a civil engineer with Federal Public Works, Harbours and Rivers Engineering Department, located in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Pamela was born there in 1957. In 1958, Al was promoted to Territorial Engineer for Halifax County and that same year, received his Provincial Land Surveyor’s license. In 1959, he was hired by Canada Creosoting Company and moved to Truro, Nova Scotia. That same year, Sandra was born. Sandra suffered from a hole in her heart which at that time could not be remedied. Al and Connie were told by doctors that she would not live a year. Al credited Connie’s “love, care and devotionâ€? for sustaining Sandra for two and half years. Nancy was born in 1960. While living in Truro, Al joined the Kinsmen Club and was instrumental in helping build and maintain the ďŹ rst racially integrated public swimming pool in the area. He also helped establish a minor football program in Truro and provided counselling and guidance to under privileged local children. Chris (Harry) was born in 1964. In 1965, Al accepted a position as Technical Service Engineer with Kenwood Mills and moved the family to Arnprior, Ontario. In 1967, Kenwood Mills and Formex amalgamated into a new company named Huyck Canada Limited. In 1968, Al assumed the Sales Engineer role in Quebec with Huyck and the family moved to Quebec City. In 1971, the family relocated to Nepean, Ontario and Al was promoted to Regional Sales Manager in 1972. He was actively involved in Nepean Minor Hockey as an assistant coach and team manager with Chris’s teams. In 1976, he was promoted to Canadian Sales Manager and appointed a director on the Canadian board. In 1980, Al accepted a position with Huyck in Albany, New York where he worked for four years before relocating back to Canada in Braeside, Ontario. Al assumed the position of VicePresident of Marketing and Sales for Huyck Canada, where he worked until retirement in 1992. Al enjoyed his retirement planting trees and tending to his vegetable garden and he and Connie traveled abroad. In 1959, Al was inducted to the Masons and upon returning to Braeside, afďŹ liated with the Madawaska Lodge. He was elected Master of the Lodge in 1996. Al was also a member of the Scottish Rite and became a Shriner, where he served in the clown unit as “Four Quartsâ€? the clown. By 2000, Connie needed to undergo dialysis three times a week, which limited their travels. In 2010, Al and Connie moved to Quail Creek Retirement Home in Renfrew, Ontario. Connie passed away on May 29th 2012. Al gave to many public and private charities without acknowledgement or recognition. The entire family is indebted to his tireless, seless dedication in ensuring our mom’s many medical needs were met and that her quality and longevity of life were ensured. In a life well worn and full of accomplishment, that stands as the crown jewel of his enduring legacy. In lieu of owers, the family suggests a donation to Hospice Renfrew, the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Dialysis Unit or the Kidney Foundation of Canada. Please join us in celebrating Al’s life Saturday, November 16th at Chris (Harry) and Nathalie’s home, 3732 Kinburn Side Road, junction of Highway 17 and Kinburn, Exit 169 off the 417, anytime after 1 p.m. Arrangements entrusted to the care of Anderson Funeral Home, Renfrew. Donations and condolences may be made at www.andersonfuneralhome.ca.

You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she’s gone or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back or you can do what she’d want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Forever loved and missed, Mearl, Tammy, Mark, Melinda, Joselyn and Dusty
