Pool, second ice pad decision soon Town gears up for public meeting in December Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Town of Renfrew staff and council are gearing up for a public meeting regarding the potential construction of a second ice pad and swimming pool. A workshop is scheduled for council chambers Nov. 28, to conďŹ rm construction costs and to ďŹ rm up annual operating costs for the new facilities. This is being done with the knowledge that there is no apparent provincial or federal government funding available to help make the facility a reality. Council is on the record as saying that the project will not be pursued unless those two levels of government are ďŹ nancial backers. Council has generally also indicated itĘźs not willing to raise local taxes by more than one percentage point to ďŹ nance the second ice pad and pool. The 6:30 p.m. workshop will involve council, the recreation committee and members of the pool and second-ice-pad user groups. The public is welcome to attend the session. “We hope that information will go to the parks and recreation committee for their analysis and recommendation. Then we will have a public meeting in early December, at which time this information will be given to any citizens of the Town of Renfrew,â€? said Mayor Bill Ringrose. This will be an information meeting to help determine if the town can afford the operating and capital costs. “I think we will make provision for attendees who would like to express their opinion on

a form. But primarily it is an information meeting at which there will be an opportunity to ask questions.â€? In January 2013, a motion will be on the oor to decide if council proceeds with the project or not. During the Nov. 13 meeting of Renfrew council, Ringrose suggested it would be suitable to have a recorded vote on the issue (in January), because of the importance and longevity of the issue. “ItĘźs clear this cannot be done without federal and provincial support. Is there anything new that has opened up in the last little while? No,â€? Mayor Bill Ringrose told The Renfrew Mercury EMC. Consequently, he suggests the onus will be on the municipality to make the pitch to government about the merits of ďŹ nancial assistance. “We all know this is not a great ďŹ nancial time for everybody, so that may come back as a at refusal,â€? said the mayor. “The other thing is, when we look around, itĘźs not like the government isnĘźt doing something. TheyĘźre doing something in almost every geographical area all the time. And the magnitude of this project is not huge by their context. ItĘźs huge, relative to the town ‌ when you talk about something like, say, $6 million.â€? A Toronto-based architect forecast costs for the pool-ice pad, so the town is asking an eastern region consultant to verify the capital-cost projections for this region. Even then, Ringrose says the reality of those costs wouldnĘźt be known until the project goes to tender. For feedback on its projected annual operating costs, recreation director Barclay Mayhew has contacted an Ottawaarea expert.

Modernization is the ďŹ rst word that comes to mind when Bissonnette describes the new store. “It changes the whole attitude of the staff.

Horton fundraising cookbook full of recipes and humour Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND

Special recognition Horton council formally recognized Horton residents Ernie and Bertha Eady for their 70th wedding anniversary with a framed certificate of congratulations. Family members attended the gathering during the council meeting Nov. 6. Council members joining the significant couple, from left, are Margaret Whyte, Mayor Don Eady, Jamey Larone, Glen Campbell and Bob Kingsbury. Nearly 200 attended a surprise gathering Oct. 28 at the community centre. Ernie, 92, and Bertha, 91, officially celebrated the special anniversary Oct. 24. Mayor Eady applauded the couple’s past involvement in the community. Afterwards, Ernie showed he hasn’t lost his sense of humour. While leaving the council chambers, he said he was wearing his bright red Eady Insurance ball cap to remind others “there’s still Eadys in Horton.” So true. Many of the 43 Eady households listed in the Renfrew phone book are located in the township.

of buttermilk, for example, can be replaced by a cup of plain yogurt. And an ounce of chocolate can be substituted by three tablespoons of cocoa and one tablespoon of butter or shortening. The main dishesʼ section includes wild game cookery in memory of long-time volunteer Larry Rawn, who died in a drowning accident in 2010. Rawn was an instrumental part of Hortonʼs ice fishing derby. The wild game section includes Rawnʼs very own Venison Meatballs and Elephant Stew, and Kirby Russellʼs recipes for beaver, and

broiled or roasted porcupine. Walleye, moose tenderloin and rabbit are among the other wild-game recipes. Thereʼs even Bachelor Pie, submitted, says the recipe book, by a shy bachelor, as well as Millerʼs own Bistro Style Chicken Sandwich Filling and Colcannon (Irish Stew), and Blackʼs Fruity Breakfast Crisp and Diabetic Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies. The 198 recipes include seven-year-old Xavier Westgarthʼs Curried Chicken and Mango Pitas and May Windleʼs Whackie Cake. The book was launched at the townshipʼs recent Harvest Supper

Finally: drought dropped to Level 1 Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Admaston-Bromley council learned at its Nov. 15 meeting that lengthy drought conditions are finally improving. It was noted that precipitation levels and storm flows were up in October. The month precipitation was 103 millimetres and the monthly average 71.6 mm. At its conference call Nov. 8, the Low Water Response Team gave Renfrew County a Level 1 response. Itʼs the first time since midway through the summer that the area wasnʼt under Level 2 conditions. At Level 1, people are asked to conserve water at 10 per cent instead of 20 per cent. Data will continue to be

NEW TRUCK LIBRARY PAYOUT

Admaston-Bromley is in the market for a new tandem truck. The township received six tenders. “They are all good trucks. Put any one in the fleet and away you go,” Mayor RayeAnne Briscoe said. Two bids came from the Francis Canada Truck Centre in Ottawa. The township has decided on a 2014 model Western Star 4700 for $203,290.50. The six-ton tandem truck has a combination dump body/spreader, snow plow and wing. “We budgeted for $200,000, so when we sell the

The township underwent a pay equity audit which resulted in adjustments of pay to the library staff. Admaston-Bromley reviewed the required adjustments for the library clerk and four library student attendants and approved a payout of $7,514.39 for 2006 to 2011. That is in lieu of full-time benefits. Also, Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe offered congratulations to Greater Madawaska Mayor Peter Emon on being acclaimed the warden of Renfrew County for 2012-13.

meets today. PROPERTY ASSESSMENT

Good news for Greater Madawaska Township came out of a Nov. 8 Low Water Response Team meeting. “It looks like now, we are in a Level 1 drought, and it could be a Level 0,” fire chief and community emergency management co-ordinator Betsy Sayers told the committee of the whole Nov. 13. “Count our blessings. We got five days of rain and some cold weather (recently).” “It looks like weʼll move out of a drought situation in the near future. “Itʼs still important to monitor your quality of water,” Sayers cautioned. She added that hunters will be contacted when they return to get a broader perspective on local swamps and how the landscape has recovered. Sayers will get a further update on the level situation when the response team next

Cecilia Buelow of Municipal Property Assessment Corporation in Pembroke spoke on property assessment at committee of the whole. Greater Madawaska residentsʼ 2012 property assessment notices will be sent out next week. “After the hunters get home and the guns are put away,” Buelow joked. On a more serious note, Buelow said most people will have theirs by next week, and businesses by the end of November. “You live in a highly desirable area of the province,” Buelow said. “You are in close proximity to Ottawa.” Buelow said the property value of Greater Madawaska increased 23 per cent over the four-year period of Jan. 1 2008 to Jan. 1, 2012. That compares to the provincial average of 17

per cent. The average waterfront property value exceeded $341,000, she added. Buelow said 66 farm taxable properties in the township had a 12 per cent increase in value. Visit www.mpac.ca or call 1-866-296-6722 for assessment information. PROGRAM UNDERWAY

The townshipʼs clear bag program officially launched Nov. 3. While people are asked to use clear bags at the landfills, they do have the option of using up any coloured bags they might still have, until April 2013, council noted. To date, 74 vouchers have been mailed or handed out. The vouchers allow the taxpayer $5 off any recycling blue box or kitchen counter compost, and $20 off any backyard composter. Vouchers are redeemable at Timbermart in Griffth and Calabogie Home Hardware.

Horton recreation volunteers Valerie Miller and Sandy Black know how to have a good laugh, but they laughed some more when compiling Come N Get It. Thatʼs the title of the 82page cookbook they put together with the help of financial contributions from the business community and many donated recipes. More than 30 businesses contributed $50 each to cover the cookbookʼs printing costs. Each business, which is thanked in the cookbook, is listed with its phone number. Funds raised will go toward paying off costs for the rinkroof project, which was made possible through a substantial grant from the federal and provincial governments. The grant application also required the municipality to pay into the project, whose balance at the beginning of this year was $91,227. If all 500 cookbooks are sold, that would raise $5,000. The idea for the fundraiser materialized when Miller, the chairman of the townshipʼs recreation fundraising committee, heard Black talk about the cookbook fundraiser she was part of several years ago for the Arnprior hospital. “It was just fun. We met a lot of interesting people,” said Miller about compiling Come N Get It. “It was a delicious experience,” said Black with a big laugh.

An increase in bear and coyote sightings resulted in a lack of deer population for many groups hunting in the annual Gourleyʼs Variety and Gas Bar big buck and doe contest. Nevertheless, the number of weigh-ins was similar to last year, dropping from 64 to 60. Registration was also down, by 13 per cent, from 356 to 309. But there were several positives in the annual event, too.

“The weather was great, and the rut lined up well with the rifle hunt, as the majority of the bucks were harvested while in pursuit of a doe,” said organizer Keith Gourley. Registration fees also helped provide donations of $700 to Hospice Renfrew and $150 to the Renfrew Fish and Game Club. And $2,500 was raised for Renfrew Victoria Hospital from Gourleyʼs and Bluewave Energyʼs Nov. 3 charity barbecue and bake sale. Winners in the two-week contest included the top three

in the biggest-buck division. Chris Mittag of Eganville led the way with an 11-point, 250-pound deer to win $250 cash, a $250 Gourleyʼs gift certificate and a buck-onbirch-bark painting donated by artist Julie Hunter. Second-place Blake Griffith of Mink Lakeʼs deer was field dressed at 240 pounds for a $100 Gourleyʼs gift certificate, while third-place Tony Mask of Renfrew had a 12-point, 218-pounder. Mask, 85, was also named the oldest, successful hunter. The youngest successful hunt-

Record registration as Mittag and Messina lead the way Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Chris Mittag of Eganville and Joe Messina of Windsor were the main winners in the most popular-ever Mill Valley big buck and doe contest. Registration numbers reached 595, eclipsing last yearʼs record of 565. “I donʼt know if we can do much better than that,” said assistant organizer John Limlaw, who tipped his hat to chief organizer Sharon Hutson and Mill Valley Storeʼs staff for their assistance. With wild apples down this year after the summer-long drought, hunters found many deer gravitating to the hardwood areas, where oak trees provided a plentiful crop of acorns. Mittag, who hunts with the Todd Risto gang, brought down the heaviest buck, an 11-point deer that was field-dressed at 249 pounds. That earned him $400, while second-place Larry Schroeder of Eganville shot a 12-point, 230-pounder, to receive a STIHL chainsaw. Blake Griffith of Mink Lakeʼs

225-pound buck earned him a STIHL trimmer. The prizes were the same for the top three in the biggest-doe division, as Messina shot a 159-pound doe for first place. The next two placings were Chris Coady of Arnprior at 141 pounds while hunting with the Colterman camp beside the old ski hill, and thirdplace Dave Zadow of Eganville with a 136-lb. doe. There were also nine mystery prizes, including a twoman tree stand for hunter Andy Blemkie of Shamrock. The biggest rack belonged to Glenn Verch. Glennʼs rack was 16 points to win a taxiderministʼs three-horn mount. The youngest hunter was his 12-year-old son, Darin, who shot a six-point, 149-lb. buck. The oldest hunter was Phil Davies, 77, of Greater Madawaska. He shot a 96-lb. doe. Organizers stressed that huntersʼ registration fees made it possible to provide the wide variety of prizes and an $800 donation to Hospice Renfrew. A total of 92 deer were weighed, compared to 100 last year.

ers were 13-year-olds Liam McHale of Douglas and Liam Forgie of Renfrew. In the biggest-doe division, Darcy Norris from the Denbigh area and Chris Coady of Arnprior tied for first, at 138 pounds. Because of the tie, they split the winnings for first

and second, which amounted to $75 and a $100 Gourleyʼs gift certificate for each of the two hunters. Colton Florent of Renfrew was third at 133. At 17 points, Kevin Briscoe of Renfrew had the rack with the most points. That deer, which weighed in at 170 pounds, also won for

Liquor Control Board of Ontario CEO Bob Peter speaks at Staff of the new Renfrew LCBO store gather during Monday’s ceremonial opening. From left are store manager Tom Bisthe ceremonial opening of the new Renfrew LCBO store. sonnette, Theresa Visinski, Margaret Dubeau, Tara McCabe, Bob Blimkie, Claire Norlock, Lindsay Miller, Sherry Steeves, Looking on is Renfrew store employee Lindsay Miller. assistant store manager Erin McGonigal-Dey and Tony Falcon.

Impressive new LCBO store in Renfrew The cold room uses outside air, rather than refrigerated air, for several months of the year, to cut electricity bills by about 10 per cent.

“This is the seventh store weĘźve opened in the last month in the LCBO,â€? said Peter, referring to such sites as Hamilton, Markham and Brockville, with four more to be opened before Christmas and another 14 early in the New Year. In Renfrew, an expected drawing card is the walk-in cold room for wine, beer and coolers. The oor space measures about 40 feet by 20 feet. The cold room also uses outside air, rather than refrigerated air, for several months of the year, to cut electricity bills by about 10 per cent. The new store also has increased parking, from 29 to 39 spaces, and four checkouts instead of three. There is also a new customer service counter and continued wheelchair accessibility. LCBO ofďŹ cials on hand for MondayĘźs ceremonial opening included CEO Bob Peter, district manager Marie Desmarais, retail operations senior vice-president Bob Clevely and eastern region director Paul Mancini. Desmarais said the LCBO is conservatively anticipating increased product sales by 30 per cent in Renfrew. If the number is higher, she says the store is ready to accommodate customer demand, with a fourth level of shelving

readily available for installation. The LCBO will also continue to support community events, said CEO Peter, noting that the Liquor Control Board of Ontario has raised $6.2 million in the past year for various charities, including hospitals, the United Way, and Mothers Against Drunk Driving Canada. The pride is what really counted on opening day, added the CEO. “YouĘźll always remember opening this store. Any time you open a new store, itĘźs for the people who do it. ItĘźs their baby for a long time ‌You have a beautiful store.â€? The new store also features a tasting bar, to accommodate the periodic promotion of certain products, and a gift section. At least one thing isnĘźt new, though. The Renfrew LCBO phone number remains 613-432-2383.

Also, he added: “ItĘźs nice to see the stores that have been refurbished, or that are new, in Ottawa. But itĘźs also nice to see that it has happened in the Valley.â€? The opening allows the number of fulltime staff to increase from four to ďŹ ve, while casual staff doubles from seven to 14. ThatĘźs partly because the Renfrew LCBO has expanded its hours. The schedule remains 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and noon to 5 p.m. for Sunday. But Monday through Wednesday hours have been extended past 6 p.m., to run 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. The store itself is different in many more ways. The store has nearly doubled to about 5,000 square feet of oor space. This provides space for 1,400 spirits, beers, coolers and other beverages, up from the previous 1,000. Including storage space, the store is about 8,000 square feet. The Vintages section has also expanded, from 36 to 125 products, while a prominent Ontario VQA display showcases some of the provinceĘźs best wine. “ItĘźs an exciting day for Renfrew,â€? said LCBO president and CEO Bob Peter, adding a reminder that Pembroke will open its own new store in the New Year.

Emon to be county warden Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Greater Madawaska Mayor Peter Emon will be the next warden of Renfrew County. Chief administrative officer Jim Hutton announced last week that the Calabogie resident will assume the position at the Dec. 11 inaugural session of county council. Emon was the only member of county council nominated for warden prior to the 4 p.m. deadline on Tuesday, Nov. 13. When notified that he was acclaimed to the office of warden, Mayor Emon said, “It will be a great honour for me to be seated in the wardenʼs chair after the December meeting; one I will treat with respect and thoughtfulness.” Emon also noted that thereʼs a “super staff” at the county upon which he says heʼll lean heavily for advice and information. Emon also said heʼll actively consult current Warden Bob Sweet of Petawawa and past

wardens Don Rathwell of Whitewater Region and Janice Visneskie of Killaloe-HagartyRichards. “I wish,” said Emon, “for council and staff to continue in the tradition of our many wise predecessors, having established mutual respect for each other and individual opinions, continued respect for our guests at council and our staff, and for our taxpayers during our dayto-day interactions with them.” The inaugural session will begin Dec. 11 at 10 a.m. At that time, Emonʼs inaugural speech will outline his goals and vision for the oneyear term of office. Emon, like current Warden Sweet, has said that minimum stays of two years in the position would allow for more continuity of service. However, there is a formal nomination process every year for the office of warden, during which any member of county council is eligible after being nominated by two fellow council members.

Douglas woman will be missed steve.newman@metroland.com

In life and death, the accolades come. Just over two months ago, Catherine Gallagher of Douglas was the centre of attention as the 96-year-old was showered with compliments for her community contributions. The occasion was her receipt of the Queenʼs Diamond Jubilee Medal at a Sept. 1 ceremony in Admaston-Bromleyʼs municipal headquarters. Last Friday, she died at Renfrew Victoria Hospital with several family members by her bedside. She would have turned 97 on Dec. 20. This week was a time of sorrow, but also of celebration, said her children. Her wake took place Sunday and Monday at Gouletʼs Funeral Home in Renfrew. The funeral was at her home parish of St. Michaelʼs Catholic Church in Douglas, where she was a revered community member. Born in Chichester, Que., across the Ottawa River from Pembroke, Catherine was a virtual stranger when she arrived in Douglas in 1945 to join her husband, Thomas Edmund Gallagher, whom most people referred to as Ed. She thrived in her new home. Not only did she win a battle with cancer, but she got involved in the community with organizations that included the Catholic Womenʼs League, 4-H Club, Douglas and District Senior Citizens Club, and Renfrew and Area Diabetes Association. TAI-CHI INTO HER 90S

She helped form the senior citizens club and, at age 85, became a Tai-Chi instructor

who attracted other seniors to the Tuesday sessions in Eganville. Remarkably, she continued that activity until early this year. Son Danny, who lives in Toronto, says his mother “was somebody who really cared for the other people in her community.” Strong evidence was the list that she kept of expectant mothers, who were included in her daily prayers during their pregnancies. Once the baby arrived, the new mother would also receive a letter from Catherine, and not just a line or two. She was also known for sending hand-written letters on peopleʼs birthdays and for tackling hundreds, if not thousands, of the daily newspapersʼ crossword puzzles over the years. Ellen Milosek says her mother had a special definition of love, which Ellen describes as “having respect, care, concern, thoughtfulness and sensitivity for each other, first and foremost, and then for the world.” Catherineʼs daughter admitted that a big hole will be left with her death, “but beyond that there is solace in the good she did for everyone.” She set an example for other couples, too, says the youngest of seven children. Ed, who died in 2004, and Catherine “dignified each other,” explains Ellen. “There was never a harsh word spoken in the house. There was so much respect.” The oldest child is Lawrence, a resident of Renfrew, who says a “light has gone out” with his motherʼs death. “There are other great people in the world too, but Mother was the very essence of hard

work, grit and determination, and kindness to everyone,” he explains. “She was phenomenal for how she encouraged people in their lives, whether in times of sadness or times of achievement.” Lawrence says his mother cherished family, and little children especially cherished her. “Mother had a remarkably good life. She had a big family and was able to play the hand of cards she was dealt, with no whining.” Lawrence says all seven children benefitted from their parentsʼ behaviour, which helped them develop a sense of decency. Receiving the Queenʼs Diamond Jubilee Medal in September was “a testament to her enormous community service,” said Lawrence. At the special ceremony Sept. 1, MPP John Yakabuski referred to her as a selfless, witty, determined, kind, gregarious and inspirational person. “Youʼre a perfect fit for that medal,” said Mayor RayeAnne Briscoe, noting that Gallagher lived her life based on the main principles by which the queen lives — duty, family and community. Moving forward without his mom, Lawrence says: “Sheʼll be remembered as an enormously good and decent lady, with enormous kindness and goodwill toward everyone.” Catherine Gallagherʼs other children are Jim (Ottawa), Bernard (Surrey, B.C.), Pat (Douglas) and Margo (Kingston). She is also survived by three great-grandchildren and 13 grandchildren. — With files from Sherry Haaima

The Ontario Provincial Police has identified the human remains found in a wooded area of Greater Madawaska Township last Sunday. At first the police were unable to say if the decomposed body was male or female, but a post-mortem conducted Wednesday in Toronto determined the remains are those of Fouad Nayel, 28, of Ottawa. He was reported missing by family members in June 2012. The OPP is treating the

case as a homicide. The OPP began investigating the death after the Renfrew OPP detachment responded to a call about 3:30 p.m. Sunday. The call concerned the discovery of human remains found near Norton Road, just north of Calabogie. The OPP and the Ottawa Police Service are conducting the investigation, under the direction of OPP Detective-Inspector Kevin Corcoran of the Criminal Investigation Branch. The OPPʼs emergency response team (ERT) is as-

sisting in the investigation. Numerous OPP officers were on the scene, with various other units assigned to the case. These units included the Renfrew OPP crime unit, East Regionʼs crime and canine units and the OPPʼs forensic unit out of Smiths Falls. Anyone with information about the investigation is asked to contact the Renfrew OPP crime unit at 613-4323211 or the OPP at 1-888310-1122. If you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. - With files from OPP. R0011721697_1108

WATER SYSTEM FLUSHING 2012 The ongoing drought experienced during the summer of 2012 has required that the routine water distribution system flushing be minimized. As previously reported, the Town has been managing the presence of manganese in the raw and treated water. Although manganese does not create a health concern it did create challenges with colour in the treated water at some homes. Distribution system flushing is now required to clean and maintain the water system. This flushing activity will disturb sediments in the water mains and will cause some reddish brown water in the areas being flushed. If coloured water is observed at the tap, please run your cold water until the colour clears.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

EDITORIAL

Protect our Christian faith To the editor: As the Christmas Season approaches, phrases like seasonĘźs greetings and happy holidays serve as a fresh reminder of how the Church and our Christian faith are being diminished and minimized. Our country, our laws, and all that we cherish are founded in our Christian faith, yet every time you turn around the Church is being cruciďŹ ed for defending ChristĘźs teachings. Should wishing each other Merry Christmas and enjoying Christmas concerts in our schools not be the norm and be expected? Is not the “reason for the seasonâ€? the birth of Christ? ItĘźs not just another holiday, itĘźs Christmas. Our secular world uses words like tolerance and inclusiveness, yet at every opportunity attacks the Church and the teachings of our faith. The church promotes and defends life from conception to natural death. The secular world promotes and defends death through abortion and euthanasia. The church teaches that marriage is a holy sacrament and permanent union between a

man and woman. The secular world teaches alternate lifestyles and that marriage is disposable. The church teaches us to humble ourselves and serve the needs of others before our own. The secular world teaches us to serve our own needs and that personal and material wealth are of great importance. The Church teaches our young people selfrespect through abstinence and celibacy. The secular world encourages sexual activity and the use of contraception. The church teaches us to keep holy the LordĘźs day. The secular world has made Sunday just another day to shop, to take our kids to hockey, to forget about God. The list goes on... This Christmas season letĘźs take a stand for our faith and not get consumed and drawn into the commercialism of it all. Make time for God, for our family, for those in need and wish each other a Holy and Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas, Wayne Troutman Douglas

Seed growers step up The Ottawa Valley Seed Growers Association is making a difference. Association directors voted recently to give $15,000 to the Hay East campaign working to alleviate a feed shortage in Renfrew County and other parts of Eastern Ontario after this summerĘźs drought. It costs an average $3,000 per truckload to move feed from western Canada. The seed growersĘź contribution will hopefully be the start of a trend to support a federal funding program whereby the government matches community contributions dollar for dollar. The program, for example, will see the seed growersĘź $15,000 donation trigger another $15,000. That would cover 10 transport trips. As an association press release explained, “With a slogan of farmers working for farmers, they felt it was just the kind of program

the association should take part in.â€? Funds provided by the Seed Growers to Hay East are raised at the annual Ottawa Valley Farm Show which the association has sponsored for more than 85 years. The association noted that, appropriately, the farm show debuted in Renfrew County as a seed fair and competition. Meanwhile, the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs reminds farmers that the Ontario Hay Listings Service is an asset to farmers who are having a difďŹ cult time trying to ďŹ nd the hay needed to sustain their herds. To access the listing, visit www.ontariohaylistings.ca or contact the Ontario Forage Council at 1-877-892-8663. Our ancestors left their mark in barn-raisings, threshing bees and co-operation. As a truly rural region, support for our agricultural community is important.

NDP positions dangerous To the editor: The federal Conservatives introduced two bills recently, with backing from the Liberals. The NDP voted against them and should make people aware just how dangerous they are. One bill supported minimum penalties for vandalizing war monuments, the other made it illegal to wear a mask while protesting. Why would the NDP vote against these bills? These actions only scratch the surface of this party thatĘźs been taken over by radicals. Even their name is an oxymoron. They are not new, nor are they democratic. Telling all your members to vote for abortion or be expelled from the party is not democratic. LetĘźs look at some other things theyĘźve tried to implement over the years. A few years ago, at a general meeting of the NDP, one of the members brought forth a motion wanting to declare every Canadian soldier the equivalent of a terrorist. How many of our brave soldiers sacriďŹ ced their lives to preserve our democracy and freedom? For months in the news we

had to listen to several NDP members calling for our soldiers in Afghanistan to be investigated for war crimes. The Ontario NDP had a very inuential member named Marion Boyd who pressured Premier McGuinty to bring in Sharia Law in Ontario. The premier was contemplating it and apparently changed his mind when a few moderate Muslim women made it clear to him what this law entailed. Can you imagine what this province and country would be like if the NDP had a majority. South America is being swallowed up one country after another by radical socialist governments that are damaging their economies and have poor human rights. There is one country in South America that is quite remarkable, like a shining light in a dark place, itʟs called Columbia. It practices free enterprise and the economy is growing. Theyʟre doing the best they can to overcome past problems. Our prime minister wants to do more trade with Columbia but the NDP and their likeminded religious friends, the World Council of Churches,

want to stop all trade. They donĘźt seem to have a problem with the communist country next door, Venezuela, whose leader welcomes guests like Hezbollah and the president of Iran. The NDP has stated that if they get elected in 2014, theyĘźll free Omar Kadar and pay him millions of dollars. The reason the NDP doesnĘźt get elected outside the inner cities is because most people in the country grew up on a farm and can smell the bull a mile away. Jim Geymonat Renfrew

1977: Chromasco wants to expand local operations NOVEMBER 22 ,1912

BIG LAMBS: To Mr. John Airth of Horton, probably the credit of raising the largest lamb this season in this district. He sold three to Mr. James Martin, one weighing 171 lbs., another 152 lbs. and the third 124. Another good average was that of some raised by John Odbur of McNab and weighed by Milton Stewart for the Jamieson Meat Co. Sixteen of them averaged 119 lbs. and six of them averaged 136 lbs. They were Leicesters. MR SPOONERʼS PATENT LOCK: Mr. A.E. Spooner was in Kingston, Belleville and Peterborough last week, and the Kingston Whig notes that he had with him a sample of his gravity lock. Simple working parts made a strong impression on those who saw it. In fact, members of the Board of Trade there have asked Mr. Spooner for opportunity to form a company there to take up its manufacture. Architect C.P. Meredith of Ottawa and architect Newlands of Kingston have both written letters of warm approval of the invention. There are those who think that it would be too bad to see the manufacture of this lock go anywhere else than the place of its birthplace – Renfrew. It will be for our local Board of Trade to see what can be done in the matter.

OLGA LEWIS FROM THE OLD FILES

Renfrew Bottling Works. An addition is to be built between the present works and the Mack Store; while the store will be remodeled and converted into three offices, these to be made use of in conncetion with the bottling establishment. The new fabric will be of solid brick construction reinforced with concrete slabs. Approximate cost is $7,000. Work is to be started at once and rushed forward. The contract has been awarded to Mr. M.J. Sulpher. TWO CARTER SCHOL-

ARSHIPS WON BY RENFREW PUPILS: First and second Carter Scholarships for the County of Renfrew this year go to pupils of Renfrew Collegiate Institute – Jean Redderick and Eileen Lindsay. Third is won by a girl pupil of the collegiate at Pembroke. First is worth $100, second is $60, and third $40. High standing in 10 upper school subjects is necessary for the winning of these scholarships. Since their inauguration several years ago the majority have been won by Renfrew pupils with girls having almost a monopoly. NOVEMBER 23, 1977

CHROMASCO

WANTS

TO EXPAND OPERATIONS: The head of personnel for Chromasco in Montreal said Friday that the company would like to expand its operations, but nothing definite had been finalized, at this time. Charles Gendron said he wouldnʼt like to make any undue expectations at this time, adding that the company is currently going through labour negotiations. He said that management has met five times with the union, and issues in dispute are changes in management rights clause, seniority and a co-operative wage study. The two parties have not yet reached agreement on these parts of the contract, said Mr. Gendron.

The next meeting between the company and the union, the United Steel Workers of America local 4632 is scheduled for tomorrow. There are 357 hourly-rated union workers at Chromasco. OWNERSHIP CHANGES AT BEST REGARDS GIFT SHOP: Mick and Sylvia Sidney have given up ownership of Best Regards after four years in business. Despite the fact that there will be a change in ownership, there will be no new faces at the store. New owners are Marge Thompson and her sister and brother-inlaw Elsie and Arnold McIntyre. Marge is certainly not new around the store as she has been there with them for

four years, and prior to that she worked in Simpson Sears when the store was located in the same spot. Elsie and Arnold hail from Harriston near Guelph, will not be active in the business for the present time, but when they retire will move to Renfrew and give their able assistance to Marge. Marge, Edith Scheunamen, Judy Foster and Marjorie Dolan, will be offering you the same excellent service. Everyone wishes Marge good luck and that with her bright smile and willingness to serve the public, Best Regards will flourish. For help doing research at Heritage Renfrew, call Olga Lewis at 613-432-6958.

Drought Condition Changes - as of November 8, 2012: Level 1 Suggestions for residents relying on groundwater and wells: If you have a dug well where you can safely and easily measure the level, record it and check weekly to determine if your well is recharging or if you are at risk of losing your water supply. Turn off electrical power to pump prior to measuring. Do not attempt to measure levels in a drilled well - consult a well drilling contractor. Indicators of low water: lower than normal flows, sediment in the water or cloudy water all indicate low well water levels. You should immediately consult a licensed water well driller. The Renfrew County & District Health Unit is recommending that you have a water quality test performed to ensure your groundwater is safe for human consumption.

Copies of St. Gabriel’s historical book on sale now Skippy Hale St. Gabriel’s Church

The St. Gabrielʼs Historical Preservation Committee is proud to announce that we have published a book. Itʼs title is The St. Gabriel’s Memory Book: Springtown,

Ontario. Carol McCuaig, a very well-known local historian, has spent the last year gathering stories and researching this endearing story of the pioneers who lived in Springtown and worshipped in this beautiful Roman Catholic Church

atop the hill and overlooking the mighty Madawaska. Carol visited and interviewed many folks who remembered going to St. Gabrielʼs. tales of weddings, baptisms, First Communions and Funerals were shared by parishioners and/or their descendants. This old stone church was not the first one built in Springtown. The author follows Father John McNulty, a 19th century Irish priest from County Mayo, as he treks about the Valley building log chapels.

One such chapel was St. Maryʼs in Springtown, then Bagot. A list of the families attending St. Maryʼs was researched and compiled by the author. The donation of land and the building of St. Gabriel, the Archangel Church by the McCrea family is beautifully presented. Masses were held in the McCrea kitchen for a time and after St. Gabrielʼs was built, their home was a welcome place to eat and sing and be regaled by stories, sometimes by a missionary

priest who stayed over in ʻthe priestʼs roomʼ at the top of the stairs. The graves which are extant have been described with a detailed genealogy, where possible. I was amused by some of the stories, and was brought to tears by the number of babes who died at or shortly after birth and often, their mothers with them. Carol McCuaig has a gentle way of telling these stories. You can hear her voice and see the Welsh twinkle in her eyes as you read. Her subjects

are treated with kindness and respect. Copies of the book are available for $25 at McCreaʼs Climate Care, 650 Stewart St., Renfrew, ON., 613-432-9739; Most Precious Blood Church, Mill St., Calabogie, 613-7522224; and by mail order from Mrs. Carol McCuaig, 127 McCuaig Road, R. R. 2, Renfrew, ON., K7V 3Z5. Please add $5 for shipping and handling. Make cheques out to St. Gabrielʼs Historical Preservation Committee. A good Christmas present.

OVTA scraps travel guide, but to provide enhanced road map Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

The Ottawa Valley Tourist Association will no longer produce its travel guide, but a bigger and better tourist travel map of Renfrew County is on the way. The Ottawa Valley Road Map, which used to be 17 by 22 inches, will now be a 22by 34-inch map that folds into a 8 ½ by 3 ¾-inch product. Following a survey of OVTA members and visitors to Renfrew Countyʼs tourist

information centres, it was decided to shelve the guide that has been produced for about 20 years. Renfrew County visitors told OVTA many of their travel plans were done online and that they werenʼt using the travel guide as a lure to the county, but as a product they tended to receive once they arrived. The road map, as in past years, will be released in January. OVTA marketing co-ordinator Melissa Marquardt says

the map will include a larger map format, details on car and motorcycle routes, experience-based vignettes and a listing of OVTAʼs more than 200 business members. OVTA was established in 1988, but the county has had

Ministry of Natural Resources stocks trout at Round Lake

ONTARIO MINISTRY OF NATURAL RESOURCES

Round Lake property owners association president Rob Norris, Killaloe-Hagarty-Richards Mayor Janice Visneskie and MPP John Yakabuski were on hand Monday to assist with the effort to re-establish the natural lake trout population in Round Lake. MNR will be stocking the lake for three years with hatchery fish genetically matched to the natural population in the lake.

Native lake trout are returning to Round Lake, one of Renfrew Countyʼs 11 natural lake trout lakes. Staff from the Ministry of Natural Resources in Pembroke were at Round Lake recently to stock trout at the popular lake. Stocking, says MNR, is used to re-establish native populations that have declined for one reason or another, and being reared in a hatchery doesnʼt diminish a troutʼs natural instincts or reproductive abilities. “We have seen a dramatic decline in the lake trout population on Round Lake since the 1990s,” says the Pembroke MNR newsletter, Hunt Camp News. “That population is not likely to improve without our help.” “Our strategy in rehabilitating the lake trout population in Round Lake involves stocking with the existing local strain,” the newsletter says. “This will retain the genetic characteristics that have evolved in the lake and restore numbers to levels that will build and maintain a self-sustaining natural reproduction.” Wild eggs collected one year ago on Round Lake were fertilized and transferred to a hatchery to be reared to fall fingerling stage. Itʼs believed the six- to seven-inch size of the stocked lake trout should provide a fairly high survival rate. MNR plans to stock a minimum of 5,000 lake trout per year. “Lake trout are a slow-growing, but long-

These year-old lake trout were hatchery raised from eggs taken directly from fish in Round Lake, providing a genetic match with the natural population. This genetic matching provides the best chance of success in re-establishing a healthy self-sustaining lake trout population. lived species, so it is important to note that the fish stocked during the initial three-year rehabilitation effort wonʼt contribute to the existing population until they reach maturity at six or seven years of age,” the ministry says. “This stocking initiative will not result in an immediate fishery for anglers.” The goal of the effort is more far-reaching. “The long-term goal is to save this lake trout strain from extirpation and promote a self-sustaining reproduction through the restoration of breeding adults,” the ministry says.

Gun registry gone NATO Parliamentary Assembly elects MP Gallant as vice-president MP Cheryl Gallant

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke

NATOʼs Parliamentary Assembly has elected Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant as one of the assemblyʼs five vice-presidents. Gallant, who chairs the Canadian NATO Parliamentary Association, was in Prague as head of delegation to the 58th annual session of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly. “I am pleased to thank my nominators, Mike Turner, head of the U.S. delegation; Karl Lamers, president of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly; and Senator Pierre Claude Noel of Canada, who serves as treasurer of the assembly. Gallant will be joined by Nicole Ameline of France, Giorgio La Malfa of Italy, Julio Miranda Calha of Portugal and outgoing president Karl Lamers of Germany who stepped down at the end of the second one-year term. “Some governments are targeting the defence sector for excessive spending cuts that could undermine European security and erode European and Alliance solidarity,” Gallant noted from a resolution adopted by the assembly as it wrapped up its four-day annual session. A news release from MP Gallantʼs office said NATOʼs secretary general Ander Fogh Rasmussen made concern over bud-

MP Cheryl Gallant. get cuts the central theme of his speech to the assembly, “He appealed to the assemblyʼs 257 lawmakers from allied nations to convince governments and the public of the need to invest in effective defences,” the release said. “He used his speech to the

assembly to confirm NATO will do what it takes to protect and defend Turkey from the spillovers of the violence in Syria. He told legislators that the Alliance has all plans in place needed to provide that protection.” The assembly adopted a resolution expressing solidarity with Turkey and urging allied governments to assist the Syrian opposition to overcome divisions, curb the influence of extremists and put an end to human rights violations. The news release from Gallantʼs office quotes Canadian Senator Raynell Andreychuk who presented the resolution as saying: “International inaction is only helping increase the duress of the Syrian people and jeopardizes regional security in the long term. The cost of international inaction is rising by the day, not only for Syria and for the region, but for our security as well.” The news release said the assembly also passed resolutions urging more sanctions on Iran if it continues to avoid substantial talks on its nuclear program, pledging support for democratic institutions in the Middle East and North Africa, and reconfirming NATOʼs continued commitment to Afghanistan after the end of the ISAF military mission in 2014.

With the annual hunt now taking place across the Upper Ottawa Valley, many constituents have contacted my office asking for an update on the current status of the long-gun registry. Earlier this year, with the election of a strong, stable majority Conservative government, we were finally able to pass legislation to scrap the long-gun registry. I am pleased to confirm that as promised, as of Oct. 31, all the inaccurate, out-of date data for non-restricted firearms that was collected for the registry has been destroyed for all of Canada except Quebec. The registry never solved a single murder. Instead it has been an enormous waste of police officersʼ time, diverting their efforts from patrolling Canadian streets and doing traditional policing activities. Gun-control proponents worried that scrapping the long-gun registry after so much has been spent would

be a waste. Unfortunately, that money is already wasted, and the registry costs kept growing. It costs about $100 million a year to operate. Instead of burning up more money, Canada can spend it on things that will actually do some good. The fight is not over. 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, 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 732-4404.

Trinity-St. Andrew’s United serves up Sunday dinner Christine McNaughton Trinity-St. Andrew’s United

Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church hosted a community dinner Sunday night, thanks to the efforts of people like key organizers, from left, Beulah Wright, Joanne Ciphery and Christine McNaughton. At left, ready to serve up some delicious desserts at the Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church are Marissa Cram, left, and Brittany Ciphery.

Trinity-St. Andrewʼs United Church opened its doors to the community Sunday for what it hopes will be the first of more such dinners. Everyone is welcome to attend. This gathering was not a fundraiser, rather a chance for neighbours to come together and to enjoy one anotherʼs company. The meal included roast beef, potatoes, carrots, salads and dessert. Children were welcome to the wheeelchair-friendly space. A goodwill offering was received at the door to help defray the costs. Ministers Russell Wardell and Susan Tough believe that the act of gathering with neighbours at table will help build a healthy community. “We hope this will be the first of many such gatherings,” said Rev. Russell, and that they “will contribute to the spirit that makes Renfrew great.”

Renfrew County represented at Centrallia 2012 in Winnipeg Ten representatives of County of Renfrew manufacturers, the Pembroke and Area Airport Commission, County of Renfrew Warden Bob Sweet and county economic development manager Alastair Baird landed in Winnipeg Oct. 9 to be part of a unique business networking and matchmaking trade show, Centrallia 2012. This unique event featured a sophisticated program which enabled participating businesses, prior to arrival at the show, to each arrange 14 one-on-one meetings with prospective customers or business allies. This provided our local businesses with pre-qualified leads, in the target business sectors in which they were most interested, and optimized their investment of time and money. This is a significant value to owners and operators of small-and medium-sized businesses with limited time and financial resources.

Over the course of two days and three evenings, the participants met with other business people from Canada and 31 other countries representing: mining, automotive, aerospace, airport services, motor coach and public transit, agri-business, environmental, energy, forestry, shipping and logistics, metal casting and machining, injection molding, heavy equipment, hospitality, construction and international trade. “I expect to receive four or five Request for Quotations (RFQ) from people I have met here,” said Rob Pearson of ETM Industries in Renfrew. “That is an incredible result from just a few days of meetings. We also created many other new relationships, which may yield results in the next year or so.” Sean Watson of Spotton Corporation, also representing the Plaintree Group of Companies from Arnprior (Triodetic, Arnprior Fire Truck, Plaintree Systems, Hypernet-

ics) found that “Centrallia allowed us to connect with important customers from the Canadian mining sector and many potential international customers.” Warden Bob Sweet and economic development manager Alastair Baird accompanied the 10 local business representatives in partnership with Renfrew County Community Futures Development Corporation (RCCFDC). Warden Sweet and Baird managed a booth in the trade show with RCCFDC, where they promoted the County of Renfrew and represented all the manufacturers and industrial service companies from the County. The county team also arranged pre-qualified appointments with companies with potential investment interests in the county and with representatives of R&D organizations from Manitoba working with agricultural and forestry biomaterials and food products.

Geology’s hidden treasures OntarioĘźs Highlands is quickly becoming a renowned travel destination for geology enthusiasts. There is a wealth of diverse geological assets throughout the entire region, which most notably is home to both the mineral and Ordovician fossil capitals of Canada. With consumers increasingly demanding unique and adventurous travel experiences, there is signiďŹ cant potential of developing these geological assets as tourist attractors, which lead to one of the ďŹ rst product development initiatives of the On-

tarioĘźs Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO). Over the past year, the OHTO, in collaboration with communities across the region, has contributed to signiďŹ cant improvements to what is now known as the recreational geology tourism experience, with many more developments to come. OntarioĘźs Highlands is a newly-established tourism region encompassing the Counties of Renfrew, Haliburton and Lanark, as well as parts of Frontenac, Hastings, and Lennox & Addington.

so many others, being drawn to the library primarily as a service to check my e-mail. This is a great service, and one that made me know that I could vacation in the area because I knew that I had .free access to the Internet nearby. “The Denbigh branch provides that service, but it provides more than that. When I was there in the summer, a family came in to use the WiFi -and their two children sat in the kidĘźs area and looked at books, read some, shared some pictures with their parents working nearby, and just chatted. What more could a library offer than a place to relax, read, work if you want, as a family activity,â€? said Malcolm. “The Ontario Trillium Foundation has been a great support to public libraries in this area by helping with renovations, computer equipment, new books, and various other ideas that the library staff and boards have deemed to be important. OTF has supported the Denbigh branch in the past to try to make the old site as accessible as possible, but when the new facility was available within the village, it was OTF who made the move of the Denbigh branch possible by covering many of the costs related to the renovation. “I commend Trillium for their support of such a public facility. And I commend the library board, staff and volunteers for creating this wonderful space for the public, and

wish you much success in the new location in the coming years. Iʟll be following the progress of the library with a keen interest.�

Denbigh sits just beyond Renfrew CountyĘźs border, but itĘźs no stranger to Renfrew residents, especially those who cottage in the region. The small Addington Highlands community held a big celebration Saturday as it unveiled its new library, thanks to $72,500 from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Addington Highlands Public Library CEO June Phillips said the grant gives the community “a bright, accessible area to read, meet with friends or surf the net. “We are thankful for the Ontario Trillium FoundationĘźs commitment to building healthy and vibrant communities,â€? she said. Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier, who attended the ofďŹ cial ribbon-cutting ceremony, was equally pleased with the project. “Education and knowledge are hallmarks of a prosperous society. I am pleased to see this Ontario Trillium Foundation grant will improve accessibility to library services for local residents,â€? he said in a municipal news release. In 2011, the OTF gave the municipality $72,500 to relocate the Denbigh Public Library to the new Addington Highlands Community Centre on Central Street. The new air-conditioned library is also fully-accessible, as are the unisex washroom

and entrance to the building. The renovations involved opening one and a half classrooms from the previous school to create one bright room with designated space for children, youth and teens; a space for adults to sit and read or visit with friends; and computer work stations. The facility also offers high-speed internet and a wireless network. “The new Denbigh Library is sure to provide a public service which will be a source of community pride for many years to come,â€? the Addington Highlands Public Library news release said. The libraryĘźs winter hours are Tuesday 10 a.m to 3 p.m., Wednesday 4 to 7 p.m., Thursday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to noon. Peggy Malcolm, library development consultant with the Southern Ontario Library Service, sent a message that was read aloud to the guests at SaturdayĘźs gathering. “I wanted to be there to help the Addington Highlands Public Library to celebrate their achievement in opening the Denbigh branch in a new location. This library system, with branches in Flinton and Denbigh, has come a long way since I started working with libraries in the area,â€? she wrote. “The library branches have become a Ęťplace to beĘź in the community, and certainly a place to gather. When I was vacationing in the area this summer, I found myself like

When Lois Leclaire and Gladys Sidock decided Renfrew needed live theatre, the goal was clear. Make people laugh. Since its inception the LAFT theatre group has been doing exactly that, and a whole new generation is stepping forward to keep the tradition alive. Saturday night LAFT ended its run of the Nick Hall/Samuel French comedy Beside Yourself – the story of four sets of identical twins and how their paths cross at a human development behavioural study at a vacation resort. As the playĘźs program describes, “Mistaken identities, romantic mishaps and elaborate schemes are just the beginning.â€? The cast of four were Ray Maynard as Bob/Bill, Chris Kyte as Pam/Pat, Julie Hunter as Sally/Sue and Calvin Beaulieu as Jim/Jack. The playĘźs producer was Rae Ann Dagenais and director was Derek Borgford. After SaturdayĘźs performance, Gladys and Doug Sidock were honoured for their dedication to LAFT . Renfrew Mayor Bill Ringrose praised and thanked the Sidocks for their commitment to culture in the community. “What you are doing is extremely important,â€? the mayor said. He also noted that recreation director Barclay Mayhew is working on a cultural policy for the Town of Renfrew. He said if a swimming pool and second ice pad project proceeds, the recreation centre may be part of the decisionmaking process and could end up vacant and ďŹ nd new life as a home for culture and the arts. “I would love to see that building (the rec centre) used for that purpose,â€? Ringrose said. Ęťâ€?Thank you very much for all youĘźve done,â€? he told the Sidocks.

NOTICE is hereby given that all creditors and others having claims against the above-name deceased, who died on or about the 29th day of September, 2012, are required to file particulars thereof with the undersigned on or before the 10th day of December, 2012.

AND TAKE NOTICE that after the last mentioned date the assets of the estate will be distributed to the persons entitled, having regard only to those claims of which notice shall have been received as aforesaid.

Ann Lafont spoke on behalf of the LAFT board, and after recognizing the efforts of the Beside Yourself crew, turned her focus to the Sidocks. “Together, with Lois Leclaire, Gladys Sidock had a vision to bring live theatre back to Renfrew,â€? Lafont said. “For more than 12 years now, Gladys and her husband Doug have been the driving force and constant source of energy that has fuelled the ame that has kept this organization running,â€? she said. “They have been tireless in their efforts from the beginning to the end of every production and have brought

countless numbers of people together with grace, tact and friendship. “They have opened their home, lent their belongings and shared their knowledge with all of us so that, hopefully, we will be able to carry the torch that they are passing us and continue to bring live theatre to Renfrew for years to come,â€? Lafont said. “Gladys and Doug, we canĘźt thank you enough for opening up this opportunity for us,â€? she said, “but we hope this gift will help you realize how very much you are both appreciated and loved by all of us.â€?

That brings us to 14 stations, and it all started from the heart of the Valley,” Pole explained. They are also awaiting CRTC approval to launch a

new station in Orangeville. Pole says MBCʼs success can be attributed to “our outstanding team of broadcasters and our intense involvement in our communities.” He thanks employees, partners and customers for helping to make this achievement possible.

Mission starts Friday at Our Lady of Fatima Parish in Renfrew

Monsignor Joseph Diermeier.

Our Lady of Fatima Church is getting ready to host a threeday parish mission beginning on Friday evening. The series of talks will be led by Monsignor Joseph Diermeier, a priest from LaCrosse, Wisconsin. “Parishes are accustomed to the tradition of periodically having a ʻmissionʼ where people take time out to be spiritually re-charged,” said Father Ryan Holly, administrator of Our Lady of Fatima Parish in Renfrew. “Itʼs no secret that people are busy, stressed, and often searching for a measure of peace in their lives, and these special days are meant to provide that kind of care for the

soul.” Monsignor Diermeier is a priest of the Diocese of LaCrosse, Wisconsin, where he pastors a parish and additionally acts as the Vicar General of the Diocese. He has done graduate studies in spirituality and canon law, and since 1978 has been engaged in pastoral work in a variety of settings. Father Holly noted that the mission is also meant to be a time of outreach to those who may have found themselves drifted from their faith. “We never really know what someone might be going through,” he said, “we are really hoping that this will be a fresh opportunity for people to feel at home and to hopefully

busy lives, Father Holly is telling people that each of the services will be no longer than one hour. “Consider it a spiritual gift to yourself, taking a few hours out of your weekend, especially before the busy season of Christmas arrives.” The parish mission begins at Our Lady of Fatima Church on Friday, Nov. 23 with Vespers (Evening Prayer) and

see their relationship with God as something beautiful and good. Sometimes people have a feeling that they want to reconnect, but just arenʼt sure how. We want them to come as they are.” The parish mission is based on a series of prayer services with meditations led by Monsignor Diermeier, that are open to all. Conscientious of peopleʼs

mission talk at 7 p.m. It continues with a Morning Prayer service and mission talk on Saturday, Nov. 24 at 10 a.m. and concludes with Vespers, Benediction and mission talk on Sunday, Nov. 25 at 3 p.m. For more information, call Our Lady of Fatima Parish at 432-8525 or connect to facebook.com/olfrenfrew for more details.

If there is nothing to hunt, you can always bird watch

EVENING GROSBEAKS

Paul and Bonnie Ouellete had three evening grosbeaks at their feeder for the ďŹ rst time in 10 years. Paul said that at one time they had over 200 of the grosbeaks at their feeders. Cardinals seem to be regulars at the Ouellete feeders and have been for several years. The Ouelletes are very generous with sunower, Niger and mixed seed which is a great incentive for the birds to congregate. PINE GROSBEAKS

Ron Huntley had pine grosbeaks at his feeders, the ďŹ rst in a very long time. Ron provides an abundant supply of sunower seed, and the area around his home has a plen-

they want. They are a beautiful bird.

SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE

A SHARP-SHINNED HAWK

tiful supply of natural food, haws, buckthorn berries and in most years staghorn sumac. We usually think of pine grosbeaks as being country birds rather than feeder birds but when food is less than plentiful they will ďŹ ll up at our feeders.

Bob Emond sent a picture of a sharp-shinned hawk and a rock pigeon it had caught. It is rare to be able to approach a hawk at such close range. But when they have made a kill they pay lay little attention to anything else. The bird may not have eaten in several days and was extremely hungry.

BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS PINTAIL DUCK

Bohemian waxwings are still harvesting fruit in several areas. Bob Emond saw them on Centennial Drive in Renfrew, Clarence Bos saw them on Harry Street in Renfrew and Tracey Marki saw them while hunting near Calabogie. Bob was able to get some exceptional pictures of one of the birds. It surprises me that the waxwings have stayed so long in the area. They normally consume all the fruit in a few weeks and move on but this year they either have no place else to go or the fruit crop is more abundant than usual. Whatever the reason, they are welcome to stay as long as

Marlene Hanneman saw a pintail duck this past week on the Bonnechere River. This elegant duck is distinguished in ight by its long, narrow wings, pointed tail and slim silhouette. Flocks may number several thousand individuals during migration. It is a common spring and fall migrant but a rare to locally common breeder in Southern Ontario. SUET FEEDERS

There are many commercial suet feeders on the market along with suet and fat mixtures to ďŹ ll them.

They are expensive but the birds need the heat energy supplied by the suet to keep them warm, especially during cold weather. If temperatures are not cold enough to keep the suet frozen there is a danger that the food will spoil. It is best not to serve suet mixtures until temperatures remain below freezing all day. Our favourite cold weather mixture is half peanut butter and half lard. We heat them until they liquefy and then mix them well before freezing. We feed the mixture in suet logs and onion bags. If you have any suggestions, please donĘźt hesitate to pass them along to us.

We received this email from Erick Leskie at the 4-H hunt camp Hi Jim and Ila: This year at camp was more productive in bird sightings than in deer. I saw 14 species this year: black-capped chickadee, red- breasted nuthatch, white -breasted nuthatch, gray jay (2), blue jay, robin, downy woodpecker, hairy woodpecker, pileated woodpecker, ruffed grouse, wild turkey, Canada goose, snow bunting, and common raven. There was another black bird that looked like a red wing but could not be sure as it was quite a way off and I didn’t have my binoculars. It is always nice to see gray jays. Erick Leskie From the 4H hunt camp Thank you for the email Erick. It is always good to know that because of the weather and food sources the birds are remaining in the heavily wooded areas rather than moving out to our feeders.

First Bonnie’s Marathon for the Renfrew Food Bank a success Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Bonnie McIntyre was supposed to run her first official marathon in New York City at 10:05 a.m. Nov. 11. Thanks to Hurricane Sandy, we know how that panned out. But all was not lost for the Renfrew runner. Her running friends got together, and organized McIntyreʼs own run throughout Renfrew and area this past Sunday. “Itʼs not New York, but itʼs a whole different fun experience,” McIntyre said. “I never expected they would do something like this. Today was wonderful.” McIntyre feels for the people struggling in New York, and is happy to make a difference at home. Thatʼs why she asked people to donate to the Renfrew and District Food Bank. “We have cheques and a lot of donations. The food bank did very well. “The main organizers of the event were Colleen Berry and Pat McGregor,” McIntyre added. “In just under two weeks they put together a very sucPETER CLARK/METROLAND Bonnie McIntyre receives a big hug from Pat McGregor cessful event.

Take time out from the parade and drop into the museum The Renfrew NHA-NHL Birthplace Museum, located at 249 Raglan St. on the second floor of the Renfrew Post Office building, doesnʼt officially open until next July. However, it is open now on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Executive director Ray Dunbar invites people to drop in next Saturday (Dec. 1). Most of you will be uptown anyway for the Renfrew Lions Club Santa Claus Parade. If you have any local hockey his-

James G.A. Creighton, a main organizer of the contest. His teammates were Robert Esdaile, Henry Joseph, Frederick C. Henshaw, William B. Chapman, Robert H.W. Powell and Edward S. Clouston, plus brothers Lorne and George Campbell. “The two Patricks (Lester and Frank) and Bert Lindsay of the Renfrew Millionaires also played at McGill,” Dunbar noted. “Our biggest claim to fame is the (OʼBriens) founding of the Montreal

Canadiens,” Dunbar added. The OʼBriens also sold two franchises to Toronto buyers. A little known fact is that this eventually led to an NHL franchise down the line later known as the Toronto Maple Leafs, as explained by Valley author and museum board member Frank Cosentino in the Renfrew Mercury a few years ago.

Senior wrestlers take on Timmins Harry and Trisha Smith Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club

Seven Renfrew senior team wrestlers headed to Timmins to compete in their first tournament of the season after a Sudbury early bird tourney was cancelled. Head coach Harry Smith said the extra dedication shown by all our athletes this year showed within the first seven matches of the day as they won all seven. Athena Mitchell and Angel Smith were surprised as they were entered in two open weight classes each, which included their own weight class and another weight class between five and nine kilograms

higher than their bodyweight. Both girls were up to the challenge and ended up wrestling the most matches of the day. Rookie male Brandon MacDonald found out he was in an open male division. He wrestled up to Grade 12 students and is only in Grade 9. To show everyone he was up to the challenge. MacDonald dominated his weight division to bring home the gold medal. Our newest rookie female, Lily Lafont, dominated her division as well and won all her matches to earn gold. Our lightest female, Ida Yates-Lavery, wrestled another female six kilograms heavier and dominated to win gold.

Lightest rookie male Bryson Lines had an excellent tournament. He won two of his four matches to bring home the bronze medal. Another rookie, Colton Warren, competed in an open division and battled hard all day to finish fourth. The end results for the seven athletes were: • Gold: Angel Smith (52 kg), Ida Yates-Lavery, Lily Lafont and Brandon MacDonald. • Silver: Athena Mitchell (60 kg) and (65 kg). • Bronze: Bryson Lines and Enjoying a fine weekend on the wrestling mats in Timmins, in front row from right are Angel Smith (60 kg).

Wolves battle leaders to limit Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

A cool November Sunday night at the close of hunting season didnĘźt draw the best crowd of the 2012-13 season, but those in attendance saw a pretty good hockey game at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. The Renfrew Timberwolves battled the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey LeagueĘźs points leading Gatineau Mustangs right to the end before falling 4-3 in a shootout to the defending conference champions. The point earned by the Wolves was big, but it could have been two if not for a kangaroo bounce on a shot from centre ice resulting in a Mustang goal in the last minute of the second period, and a Gatineau equalizer with 1:10 left in the third.

The Wolves reclaimed the lead in a neat tip-in by Tanner Smith with 2:32 left in the third. But the Buckingham-based Mustangs drew level once again when Dominic Robinson scored with 1:10 remaining. Neither side scored in the ďŹ ve-minute overtime, although Schroeder made his best save of the night off Maxine Gagnon when the Mustang rode in alone. Schroeder added a second timely save moments later. However, it was GatineauĘźs Jean-Philippe Charbonneau who had all the answers in overtime, denying Scott Conroy, Doner and Eady in all three Renfrew attempts during the WolvesĘź ďŹ rst shootout since the rule existed more than a decade ago. Boyer twined the shootout game winner on his teamĘźs second shot for Gatineau.

GATINEAU 4, WOLVES 3 (OT) PERTH 4, WOLVES 2

After a scoreless opening stanza, the Wolves broke through on powerplay goals from Casey Doner and Pat Dick, both on helpers from Ryan Eady. But a powerplay marker from Dan Boyer and Alexandre GrandmaitreĘźs long shot that took a crazy bounce past Wolves netminder Matt Schroeder pulled the Mustangs even.

Within about three minutes of Scott Conroy giving the Wolves a 2-1 lead, the Perth Blue Wings struck for two goals midway through the second period. Coupled with the lone third-period tally ďŹ ve minutes in, it paved the way to a 4-2 Perth triumph on home ice Friday night. Tanner Smith had a ďŹ rst-

period goal for the Wolves. Nicolas Hodgins made 35 saves in the Renfrew goal while Perth veteran Jemery Wright faced 39 Wolves shots. The Wolves didnĘźt do themselves any favours in the penalty department. Renfrew took 11 of 16 penalties, including the last six. WOLVES HOWLINGS

The Wolves were at No. 3 on the goaltender depth chart with Schroeder, who was solid Sunday night. Matt Gagne and Nicolas Hodgins are both battling injuries. However, Gagne backed up the Gatineau game and should be ready to return to his starting role this week. The Wolves soon hope to get a few of their other walking wounded back in the lineup as well. At 9-9-0-and-2, the Wolves are in a dog ďŹ ght in the Valley Division. They are only three points out of ďŹ rst place, but are also just ďŹ ve points up on ďŹ fth. The Wolves make their ďŹ rst trip of the season to Shawville Friday for an 8 p.m. contest versus the Pontiac Juniors. The Wolves are in Stittsville Sunday at 2:30 p.m. RenfrewĘźs next home game is Friday, Nov. 30. The Arnprior Packers visit the MAC at 8 p.m.

Low Cup teams win three of four in Deep River

Jaguar teams end season at EOSSAA Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Two St. Josephʼs Jaguars teams represented Renfrew County at the Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) championships for A schools in their respective sports. Although they didnʼt return home with the desired result, both will look back and know they carried the schoolʼs colours well. The Jaguar senior boys volleyball team, coming off a 14-and-0 run to claim the 2012 Renfrew County championship, were eliminated in the semifinal at EOSSAA in Iroquois. The Jaguars lost a close decision to eventual champion Embrun 2-1 in the Renfrew schoolʼs opening match. St. Josephʼs won the first set, but lost the next two close encounters 25-23 and 15-11. The Jaguars rebounded with a pair of 25-10 wins over the Almonte Thunderbolts to advance to the playoff roud. Rideau High School of Elgin outlasted the Jaguars 2-0 to move on. Embrun went on to win the EOSSAA title 2-0 over Rideau. “The result wasnʼt what we expected, but it was a

good season,” Jaguars coach Trent Skelhorn said. With an expected good nucleus back and some good juniors coming up, coach Skelhorn hopes to field another championship contender next season. GIRLS HOOPS

The St. Josephʼs junior girls basketball team completed their 2012 hoops season in competitive style at the EOSSAA championship in Ingleside. The Renfrew County finalists went right down to the wire in both games. The first game resulted in a tough 27-26 setback to Rideau High School. “We led the majority of the game but couldnʼt hold on,” coach Mark Valliquette said. Kathryn David and Kayla Hintz were top pointgetters for St. Josephʼs. “We regrouped and played Glengarry in our second game. Despite starting a little slowly, we managed to come back,” the coach said of a 2624 win. Kathryn David and Jocelyn Virgin were top performers for the Jaguars, coach Valliquette noted. Girls volleyball and boys basketball seasons get underway Dec. 4.

The senior men were back in action last week as they travelled to Deep River for the second round of the Low Cup. They came home with three wins in their four games over the host club. Unfortunately, Pembroke, with two very strong teams, took all four games over Arnprior and now stands atop the pointsʼ race. The team of Rob Warren, Don Rouble, Jim Berg and Andy Humphries dominated

their first game and came away with a comfortable win but in the second game it came down to skipsʼ last shots before Renfrew prevailed. The team of Gary Smith, Rory McKay, Peter Price and George Burton had trouble adjusting to the ice and were not really in the first game but then came back with a better game in the afternoon to pull out the win. There were two firsts in these games as Gary saw his first Low Cup action after bringing his many years of curling experience in Ot-

tawa to our club and George returned to his old stomping grounds to take on his former teammates. Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. 27-28, will see the first round of the provincial playdowns for stick curlers. This is an excellent opportunity to come and see another form of competitive curling for men and women over 50 that is growing in popularity. This is the first time for this event and games will occur in the mornings and the afternoons, with the winners proceeding to the regionals and

possibly to the provincials. I have to correct an earlier article where I stated that this is an OCA sponsored event, as it has not attained that level yet, but it is supported by the OCA and hopefully it will soon be fully sponsored and take on the same status as other provincial events. Little Rocks and Junior curling runs every Thursday after school and it is here that our younger curlers learn the skills of the game in a fun and supportive atmosphere under the watchful eye of Diane Burns and her helpers.

UOV Petite C team still undefeated in NCRRL league play Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

The Upper Ottawa Valley Petite C team scored a pair of impressive wins over Gloucester-Cumberland to remain unbeaten in National Capital Region Ringette League action. The Valley squad won the opener 9-5, and then followed up with a convincing 7-0 triumph Saturday. Erica Mosseau had four UOV goals in the first game. Kate Ryan and Kaelyn McGrimmon each notched a pair. Abigail Schwan added a single. Hanna Curry and Erica Mosseau had

big games in the playmaking department with four and three assists respectively. Jordan Benedict and Kate Ryan collected two helpers. Brenna Cone earned the goaltending victory. Mosseau added two more goals in the game 2 victory. Curry, McGrimmon, Benedict, Ryan and Hanna Hubert counted solos. Brenna Cone led in the assist column with a pair. Katie Belsher posted the shutout. The UOV Petite C team remains undefeated for the first half of the 2012-13 NCRRL season. The second half starts Dec. 1.

The third annual Bristol Dryland Canadian Championship dog races run Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 24 and 25 in Timberland on Ragged Chute Road, Bristol, Que. Action gets underway on both days at 9:30 a.m.

U10 SCORINGFEST

The UOV U10 ringette team suffered a pair of tough losses Nov. 11. They were defeated 5-4 by West Ottawa in the first game. Malorey Lambert, Lilly Kluke, Grace Froats and Kailey MacLeod were UOV goalscorers. The girls then made the trek to Vanier where they lost a freewheeling 13-12 thriller to the Ottawa Thriller. Malorey Lambert had a seven-pack of goals. Christine Schwan, Lilly Kluke, Khloe Bertrand, Gabby Cayen and Kaylie MacLeod all added singles.

Final races on both days are at 2:30 p.m. Award presentations and a spaghetti dinner are on Sunday at 5 p.m. in the Jack Graham Bristol Community Centre. Parking is free and so is admission to the races. A purse of $10,000 is up for grabs.

Pay those parking fines, or else: Renfrew linked to Provincial Offences Act Steve Newman

Parking fines in Renfrew finally have teeth. For years the town wasnʼt linked to the Provincial Offences Act process. But earlier this month, the town was connected, which now prevents vehicle owners from renewing their driverʼs licence if they have unpaid parking tickets. The act also puts in place a fine structure which increases over time, if fines remain unpaid. The ticketing agent for

Renfrew is MLES (Municipal Law Enforcement Services), which has served as the townʼs bylaw enforcement body since the paid-parking meters were removed in June. Statistics for MLESʼs first three months of operations — July, August and September — show 67 per cent of tickets issued were paid, compared to just 23 per cent for the first six months of 2012. Paid ticket revenue is averaging $2,700 per month. This compares to the townʼs cost of

about $5,000 for MLESʼs services per month. To date, only about $600 of the total revenue over the first three months came from

downtown parking violations. The town initiated a oneyear pilot project of no paid downtown parking in July. But tickets can still be issued

for such offences as parking on the sidewalk, in the wrong direction, in handicapped parking, and for more than three hours.

The bulk of parking tickets since July have come from parking violations on residential streets, particularly near the hospital.

STUDY COMPLETION NOTICE Constant Creek Bridge Rehabilitation/Replacement on Ferguson Lake Road in the Township of Greater Madawaska Environmental Assessment Study The County of Renfrew has completed the Class Environmental Assessment Study for the Rehabilitation/Replacement of the Constant Creek Bridge on Ferguson Lake Road in the Township of Greater Madawaska.

Consultation in the form of Steering Committee meetings, two (2) Public Open Houses, County of Renfrew Operations Committee, Township of Greater Madawaska Council and stakeholder meetings formed an integral part of the assessment process.

The project provided a short-term solution, which included the installation of a one-lane modular bridge in the summer of 2011 to address the need for immediate repair of the Constant Creek Bridge. The long-term Recommended Plan provides a realigned 2-lane roadway located to the east of the existing Constant Creek crossing which addresses current and future needs of the bridge and roadway based on technical evaluations and public and agency comments. The Recommended Plan will be implemented when funding is available to construct both the new roadway and crossing by the road authorities.

A copy of the request shall also be sent to the County of Renfrew at the address above. If no requests are received, the project may proceed to design and construction as presented in the ESR Report. Any information or comments received pertaining to this Environmental Assessment study (including your name and address), form part of the public record and may be disclosed/made available by the County to such persons as the County sees fit, including anyone requesting such information. Accordingly, in providing any such information, you shall be deemed to have consented to its use and disclosure as part of this planning process.

Smoke alarm update at council Over the last six months, almost 77 per cent of Douglas-area residences visited by the Douglas Fire Department were found to have their smoke alarms in total compliance with regulations. “If youĘźre in school that would be a good mark,â€? said Captain Pat Donohue of the volunteer ďŹ re department, whose inspection covered 104 residences over the past six months. “But that means that there are still a lot of people only in partial compliance.â€? In fact, there were 19 residences (or 18.2 per cent) in partial compliance, and another ďŹ ve residences had no smoke alarms. No ďŹ nes have been levied during the inspections, but that could happen down the road, suggested Captains Donohue and Kevin Van Woezik during a smoke-alarm update to Admaston-Bromley council Nov. 1. Council members also learned that local households fared much poorer when it came to having escape plans or ďŹ re extinguishers. Fifty-nine of 104 households had escape plans and only 55 households had at least one ďŹ re extinguisher. In the entire township, there are 1,369 households. “ItĘźs going to take a while to go through the (whole) community,â€? said Van Woezik, who stressed that any visits are worthwhile because they

increase the opportunity to talk about ďŹ re safety with residents. Sometimes a short conversation can go a long way toward making households a whole lot safer. During one visit, for example, a ďŹ re alarm seemed to be installed properly, but it wasnĘźt working. Upon closer inspection, the battery was found wrapped inside the alarm in cellophane. “Similar little things can lead to tragedy,â€? said Van Woezik. Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe called the smoke alarm program an important one “that has safety written all over it.â€? Bill Bowes, who chairs the townshipĘźs emergency management committee, also attended the Nov. 1 presentation. Bowles, whoĘźs also a former long-time member of the Douglas Fire Department, said no one has been ďŹ ned for not being in compliance, “and hopefully we wonĘźt have to.â€? “WeĘźd rather help them get into compliance,â€? said Capt. Donohue, indicating that the ďŹ re departmentĘźs work has included the purchase and installation of smoke alarms in ďŹ ve households. “With those ďŹ ve, we didnĘźt leave there until they had working smoke alarms,â€? said Donohue. “We purchased smoke alarms and we actually installed them in those places.â€? The captains acknowledged that a few residents are resistant to allowing ďŹ reďŹ ghters

into their homes. But the right to enter oneĘźs home to inspect their ďŹ resafety equipment isnĘźt taken lightly, said Van Woezik. “For those people who are resistant, I have this to say: We do encounter the odd place where there might be difďŹ cult circumstances, like conditions of poverty, where there were no smoke alarms. “That gives us a chance to visit those homes, to talk some ďŹ re safety, install some smoke alarms, and leave them much safer than how we found them. Sometimes we have to give up a little bit of freedom for the better good of everyone.â€? The visit is also a chance for the ďŹ reďŹ ghters, said Van Woezik, to emphasize the importance of a functioning smoke alarm and having an escape plan. “Next to having your smoke detector, the escape plan is the second most important thing that a family should have (as far as ďŹ re safety),â€? said Van Woezik. “And they should practise it with their children ‌ in a situation where thereĘźs a ďŹ re, thereĘźs a panic when that alarm goes off a three in the morning and the house is totally dark. If everyone knows where theyĘźre to go and what theyĘźre to do, the chance of survival is much better. “ThatĘźs why weĘźve been asking about the escape plan, because if they donĘźt have one, it will get them thinking about doing that.â€?

The Coffee House is an integral part of the musical culture at St. JoeĘźs. For the past six years, biannual coffee houses have showcased the incredible talent of students in the Performing Arts. For $5, you can enjoy a cup of bottomless coffee or tea, delicious snacks prepared by the foods class and hours of singing, jazz, blues and, occasionally, a well recited poem. Attending a coffee house is a great way to socialize, relax, and listen to some up and coming talent. On Nov. 22, St. JosephĘźs is hosting the ďŹ rst Coffee House of the year at 7 p.m. Many students have been preparing busily for a performance in front of friends, family and the community. For many young performers, this will be their ďŹ rst time showcasing their talents in front of a big audience. It can be a nerve-wracking, overwhelming event but it is also a learning experience. Sonya Bergin, a coffee house veteran, remembers her ďŹ rst time performing. “Absolutely, I was scared. I still get nervous each and every time I perform, even though IĘźve been performing for the past four years!â€? Bergin explains that anxiety is an emotion that prepares her to perform to the best of her ability. On the other hand, a performance at a coffee house can be an experience that leads to bigger and better things. Over the years, numbers of students have discovered their passion for music through coffee houses, and gone on to perform in musicals, choirs, bands and some have even pursued post secondary musical education. Co-ordinator Kevin McSheffrey reveals that his favourite part of the coffee house experience is “listening to the undiscovered talent in our school.â€? Sharing the experience of this special evening is not something you will forget, and we hope to see you there!

Aikenhead’s keeps up with the times peter.clark@metroland.com

From something as convenience to getting a flu shot to arranging your medications for a trip around the world, you can get it done at Aikenheadʼs Drug Store. Itʼs been that way since Bill Aikenhead first opened a drug store in 1938. Son Don became the storeʼs second owner in the early 1970s, and remained so until he sold to pharmacists Neil and Millie Ritchie in 1988. Current owner Sheila Kemp took over the ownership reins in 1999. “Itʼs nice to look back, but primarily, itʼs changed so much,” Kemp said of the pharmacy. “Pharmacists are the most accessible member of the healthcare team,” she said. “We now have expanded scope of practice, which includes providing flu shots, refilling certain prescriptions and adjusting medications for patients with diabetes. Pharmacists can work alongside the physicians to help patients manage their conditions by

Third MAJESTA campaign up and running The third annual MAJESTA Trees of Knowledge competition is underway. One of last yearʼs 10 finalists was Killaloe Public School, which is eligible to enter the race again. Last seasonʼs winner was St. Paul Elementary School in Beaconsfield, Que., which used its winnings to build a $20,000 outdoor classroom. The campaign is aimed at helping Canadian schools experience the benefits of outdoor learning. Ideas for outdoor classrooms can include everything from gardens and nature trails, to shaded study areas, interactive learning spaces and musical play places. Schools interested in entering the MAJESTA Trees of Knowledge competition can apply online at majestatreesofknowledge.ca from now until Jan. 13, 2013. The program is done in partnership with Tree Canada and Focus of Forests. Also, the 2012 campaign features additional prizes, for schools finishing second, third and fourth, and another prize for the school showing the most creativity in rallying for support. “The Trees of Knowledge Competition is about more than building an outdoor classroom,” says Jim Schedler, MAJESTAʼS vice-president of marketing. “Itʼs about bringing schools and communities together in a meaningful way to create a unique space that will get students excited about learning, nature and the environment.” For the official rules and to apply online, visit majestatreesofknowledge.ca.

providing the best medication therapy, which will improve patient outcomes. Aikenheadʼs also has three pharmacists qualified to provide flu shots. “Patients do not require an appointment and can come into the store at any time with their health card to receive their immunization,” Kemp said. Through all the advancement of improvements in the medical field, Kemp is pleased to say the drug store still provides small-town service. “Aikenheadʼs continues to provide the same oldfashioned, personalized and friendly care that we have given since 1938.” More changes are on the horizon, Kemp noted.

PLANNING FOR ADDITION

“We are also planning an addition to the building in order to add in a full postal outlet and more space for private patient consultation,” she said. Among patients receiving their flu shot last week was Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP John Yakabuski. “Itʼs important to get your flu shot,” the MPP said. He said, thanks to places like Aikenheadʼs where no appointment is needed, “everybody has access available to get the flu shot.” While there, Yakabuski congratulated Kemp and Aikenheadʼs on the service the drug store has given the community for 75 years. “We are always striving to

make changes in order to serve our customers better,” Kemp said. “Over the past few years we have added a full specialty prescription-compounding lab and a pre-travel clinic. Both of these additions have been big successes and allows our customers to have access to these wonderful services without having to travel into Ottawa.” Aikenheadʼs is holding an anniversary sale this Friday and Saturday, Nov. 23 and 24. Prizes include an ipad, ipod, Kobo reader, Sony Playstation Portable and gift cards. Located at 226 Raglan St. S., Aikenheadʼs can also be reach at 613-432-8866. “We will be cutting the anniversary cake on Saturday at 2 p.m.,” Kemp tells customers.

Correction When this photo from the Remembrance Day service in Renfrew appeared in last week’s Renfrew Mercury EMC, the order of names was incorrect. From left are Second World War veterans George Skerkowski, Harry Llewelyn who pushes the wheelchair, and Adam Kedrosky. The wreath was laid on behalf of Renfrew Legion Branch 148.

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski receives a flu shot from pharmacist Lorraine Hansen under the watchful eye of Aikenhead’s Drug Store owner Sheila Kemp Friday afternoon. This year anyone can walk in anytime to get their flu shot at pharmacies across the province.

My hope is to keep the spirit of our national Remembrance Day ceremonies alive and well for the next generation so they realize how present war still is. Remembrance Day is not just about the old wars and old veterans but about the modern ones too. Everyone should be shaking a soldiers hand and thanking them. They deserve our thanks. They are an important part of our country and we have one of the best military organizations in the world. My deepest and warmest thank you to the Arnprior Legion, Rev Milton Fraser, Andre Pilon and my dear friend who assisted me at the ceremony Janet Tobio. A heartfelt thank you to my Family for their loving support and special participation throughout the day. To each of you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Leonard S. Robertson Sept. 12, 1930 – Nov. 24, 2011 In loving memory of a devoted husband, father and grandpa who passed away on November 24, 2011. Summer is gone, And now it’s Fall, Which brings back memories, Saddest of all. Each morning when we awake, Knowing you are gone, No one knows our heartache, As we carry on. Our hearts ache with sadness, And secret tears still flow, What losing you has meant to us, No one will ever know. Our thoughts are always about you, Your place no one else will ever fill. In life we loved you dearly, And we always will. Forever in our hearts Greatly missed Love Barb, Heather and Brad, Barb, Jeff and Victoria

SGT. JOHN WINTONICK

RCAF WWII and beyond January 23, 1918 – November 21, 1962 The somber silence of November There we were settled at Greenwood airbase, John almost at his Argus Airframe mechanics trade by that early light of dawn his twenty crewmen nearby just waiting, one moment he was there: next moment gone – my thoughts of the Canadian flag -draped coffin with marching band and airmen in his native Winnipeg city My son nine, daughter, eight crew standing alert, onlookers – their eyes spelled pity we hadn’t time to hold his hand nor even hear the praises of John’s ‘esprit de corps’ we could only stand there unbelieving as that somber silence hit our November door.

They say there is a reason They say that time will heal But neither time nor reason Will change the way we feel For no-one knows the heartache That lies behind our smile No-one knows how many times We have broken down and cried We want to tell you something So there won’t be any doubt You’re so wonderful to think of But so hard to be without

A most blessed man and loving husband Norma (Wintonick) Dixon Peter Wintonick and Suzanne Olsheskie

Always in our hearts and on our minds Remembered with love Mom, Doug, Kerry, Cathy, Corina & Jack

Korea 1950 - 53 Remembrance Day He was getting old and paunchy And his hair was falling fast, And he sat around the Legion, Telling stories of the past. Of a war that he once fought in And the deeds that he had done, In his exploits with his buddies; They were heroes, every one. And tho’ sometimes to his neighbours His tales became a joke, All his buddies listened quietly For they knew whereof he spoke. But we’ll hear his tales no longer, For old Moe has passed away, And the world’s a little poorer For a Soldier died today. He won’t be mourned by many, Just his children and his wife. For he lived an ordinary, Very quiet sort of life. He held a job and raised a family, Going quietly on his way; And the world won’t note his passing, Tho’ a Soldier died today. When politicians leave this earth, Their bodies lie in state. While thousands note their passing, And proclaim that they were great. Papers tell of their life stories From the time that they were young. But the passing of a Soldier Goes unnoticed, and unsung. Is the greatest contribution To the welfare of our land, Someone who breaks his promise And cons his fellow man? Or the ordinary fellow Who in times of war and strife, Goes off to serve his country And offers up his life? The politician’s stipend And the style in which he lives, Are often disproportionate, To the service that he gives. While the ordinary Soldier, Who offered up his all, Is paid off with a medal And perhaps a pension - though small. It is not the politicians With their compromise and ploys, Who won for us the freedom That our country now enjoys. Should you find yourself in danger, With your enemies at hand, Would you really want some cop-out, With his ever waffling stand? Or would you want a Soldier His home, his country, his kin, Just a common Soldier, Who would fight until the end? He was just a common Soldier, And his ranks are growing thin, But his presence should remind us We may need his like again. For when countries are in conflict, We find the Soldier’s part, Is to clean up all the troubles That the politicians start. If we cannot do him honour While he’s here to hear the praise, Then at least let’s give him homage At the ending of his days. Perhaps just a simple headline In the paper that might say: “OUR COUNTRY IS IN MOURNING, A SOLDIER DIED TODAY.” Love you Forever, Your Family

God Bless Mothers Lord, Thou hast known A mother’s Love and tender care: And Thou wilt hear, while for my own Mother most dear, I make this prayer. Protect her life I pray, Who gave the gift of life to me; And may she know, from day to day, The deepening glow of Life that comes from Thee.

To our family, what would we have done without you? The Keon, Kelly and Whalen clans support was evident and appreciated from the beginning. He was grateful for your visits, calls and prayers. We of course were able to breathe easier knowing you were there for us. Whether it was a laugh, a cry or something in between, your love and support was all that we needed. To our friends and neighbours, where do we begin? Thank you for your thoughts, prayers and of course tea. The time you took to send a card or drop off food was so important. If you just sat and listen know it became a safe place for us to share without being judged. The many kind acts did not go unnoticed. We are so blessed to have so many good people in our lives. Friends are the family we choose. To Breigh and Rory’s hockey teams during the 2011-2012 season— Teams may change with each passing year—but during a season you always embrace the true spirit of teammates. To the Renfrew Minor Midget Timberwolves, coming to the wake as a team and then paying tribute to Grandpa “KEON” on your sticks was very moving. To the Madawaska Midget Girls, your kindness, support and generosity was also greatly appreciated. Sometimes routines are the most important thing to get you through; hockey certainly was a happy get away. The impact both teams had on our family was overwhelming. To Shelby’s friends and Ottawa U gang—we were so grateful she had love and support when she was away from home. To the Wal-Mart/McDonald’s Coffee Club, your support was so important to mom and dad, the journey as it continues has been blessed with your constant companionship. We know that “the sky isn’t falling” anymore – but cast a glance upward just in case. To the “Wednesday Night V-ball Girlies”—forever keeping Cecie sane! You are the reason for the first annual “Bill Keon Memorial Bursary” at St. Joseph High School. To Carrie, Christy, Donna, Laurie and Stacy, thank you for preparing and serving the food between services. Somehow my house managed to look better than it had in a while. To the management, staff and local 4820 of Haley Industries Ltd., The Town of Renfrew, The Renfrew Fire Department and The Renfrew Firefighters Association, we spend more waking hours with our co-workers and truly appreciated your support.

Father Holly - Thank you for performing the last sacrament for him, as difficult as it was for us all, we know how much it meant to him. To the Goulet Family Funeral Home; Knights of Columbus; St. Francis Xavier Parish: Father Proulx; Pallbearers: Denzil, Pat, Doug, Brennan, Remo and Jim; Honour Guards; Readers: Debbie and Dave; Musician: Julie Larocque; Altar servers; Police escort: Terry McIntyre; CWL; family and friends. Each and every one of you contributed to his final journey being filled with the pomp and circumstance he deserved. CLR393738

I cannot pay my debt For all the love that she has given; But Thou, Love’s Lord, wilt not forget Her due reward,- bless her in Earth and Heaven. Forever loved and missed, Mearl, Tammy, Mark, Melinda, Joselyn and Dusty

Words cannot express the gratitude we have to all who helped in dad’s journey. Food, drinks, flowers, donations, thoughts, prayers, masses, e-mails, calls and visits made each step of the way easier.

Dr. Ali he was so thankful to finally have a family physician. Thank you for your careful guidance during his diagnosis and treatment.

Hold her by the hand As once her hand held mine; And though she may not understand Life’s winding way, lead her in Peace divine.

Forever in our hearts Barbara & Don Storie Joe & Karen Charbonneau Jamie & Angie Charbonneau Evan & Lauren

Tempus Fugit—a year has passed since you went home, our hearts are still sad, but your legacy is exemplified in our daily life, our learning and most importantly our love—Carpe Diem.

To the Renfrew Victoria Hospital, we are so fortunate to have a wonderful facility filled with a kind, devoted and caring staff. From the moment you enter the doors you know you are in good hands. The management, administrators, those who care for you, those who provide food to you, those who ensure the facility and bedding are clean and those who make sure everything is in good working condition; are all key factors in making RVH what it is. We are forever grateful to the oncology staff, your professionalism and caring, made it less scary. Your ability to accommodate was a tremendous help – Thank you. The staff of the second floor went out of their way to make sure we were all taken care of, it meant so much and words cannot convey our gratitude. Dr. Duggan your compassion and sincerity were very much appreciated; we were so blessed to have you oversee his care. Shelley Eisen, we hope you understand how thankful we are that you opened the window.

We know that our Son, Brother, Uncle and friend has passed away But we will love him to our dying day So please listen to our memories even now and then Family and friends please allow us to talk about him With his life we had everything to gain We gained from him even in death He brought us to God and there is no greater wealth Yes, for our son there could be no other We thank God for choosing us to be his Mother, Father, Brother, Family and Friend

October 25, 1940 – November 25, 2011

To the current and former staff and students of St. Joesph’s High School, he touched many lives and it was evident in so many ways. Thank you for the calls, e-mails, notes, cards, visits, thoughts and prayers, both during and at the end of his journey. He was a teacher right to the end. He believed with all of his heart that “Scientia Cum Amicitia” was the most important thing. His “lessons by life” were honoured with the raising and subsequently lowering of “The Red Ensign” a tribute we’re sure he watched with pride and that touched our hearts deeply.

Muriel Richard

One year has passed since that sad day Little did we know that morning God was going to call your name In life we loved you dearly In death we do the same It broke our hearts to lose you But you did not go alone For a part of us went with you The day God called you home You left us peaceful memories Your love is still our guide And though we cannot see you You are always by our side Our family chain is broken And nothing seems the same But as God calls us one by one The chain will link again
