Local developer Mack Wilson passes away TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com
A prominent, no-nonsense businessman who helped shape Renfrew has died. Mack Wilson, 79 years old, passed away on Sunday, Nov. 26. Dave Lemkay, executive director of the Renfrew Industrial Commission (RIC) describes Wilson as the kind of person who had an interest in what people were doing in general and had a remarkable ability to keep track of goings on around him.
Mack was Chairman of the RIC board of directors for about 25 years, stepping down at the 2017 annual general meeting. “Mack through all the years of development of housing and commercial buildings in Renfrew, was proud to contribute to growth of the town and, as he would say, to create jobs and to expand the tax base in Renfrew,” said Lemkay. “He had a penchant for things to be done right and he was passionate about being able to help bolster Ren-
frew’s economy. “His success in this milieu is evident everywhere. In so many ways, he put his money where his mouth was, to coin a phrase. There will be big shoes to fill.” Visitation will be held at the Goulet Funeral Home Nov. 29 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. and Thursday, Nov. 30 at 9 a.m. The funeral is scheduled for Nov. 30 at 10:30 a.m. at Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church See WILSON, page 2

Wilson defined development Torstar announces community and daily newspaper transaction From front page
Nicole Laframboise, owner of Elements Luxury Tented Camp and Nature Spa and former business partner of Wilson, says he was tenacious. “He pushed me through every hurdle while I learned a great deal about work ethic and classic country music,” said Laframboise in an email statement. “He loved watching things being built. I think every contractor in the Valley can agree with me on that. Mack’s subdivision meant a lot to him – it meant legacy – and living on past his time here on earth. “I am forever grateful.” Wilson was very proud of the Hunter Gate subdivision, made up of more than 900 lots and homes sold, one of the largest
developments in recent history. Wilson started Wilson Car Sales at the age of 32 in 1970. In 1976 Wilson Investments of Renfrew was established and over the next 40 years he went onto develop and manage over 300 commercial and residential units. In 1990 he started M. Wilson Home Developments and started to build single-family dwellings and multiple family units in the town. Wilson Investments sold the majority of its residential buildings in 2011 and currently manages six commercial properties. Wilson Investments received the Renfrew Chamber of Commerce President’s Award in 2005, 2006 and 2010. For full service details visit: gouletfuneralhome.com .

Synergies associated with this transaction are expected to contribute to an improvement in annualized operating earnings at Torstar in the range of $5 million to $7 million.

Borutski guilty of two counts of first-degree, one count of second-degree murder TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland
It was one of the most anticipated verdicts of all time in Renfrew County. Nov. 24, the jury delivered its decision on Basil Borutski’s fate. Borutski is guilty of two counts of first-degree murder and one count of seconddegree murder. Sentencing will take place Dec. 5-6 in Pembroke. Outside the courthouse Ontario Provincial Police Det. Insp. Mark Zulinski, the case manager, addressed the media. “I’d just like to extend our sympathies to the families of the three women,” said Zulinski. “I hope by the conclusion of these proceedings these people could move forward with their healing processes and move on with their lives.” Leighann Burns, executive director of the Ottawa women’s shelter Harmony House, who watched the case closely, said it represents the general response to violence against women in Ontario and throughout Canada. “If we couldn’t stop somebody who was so visible and so dangerous, really, what does that say about this system at all?” said Burns. “These women were clearly living in fear. It was known that he posed a real risk to them.” During the closing statements Nov. 21, Borutski surveys the crowd gath-
ered in courtroom 36 as he enters. The shackles around his feet clink during his slow, short walk into the prisoners box. His piercing eyes take a long hard look at the approximately 30 people sitting in the Ottawa courthouse to hear closing arguments on the three first-degree murder charges against him. They are in relation to the Sept. 22, 2015 deaths of Carol Culleton, 66, Anastasia Kuzyk, 36, and Nathalie Warmerdam, 48, who were found at three separate crime scenes in the Wilno area. Each time the 60-year-old enters court, on this day of closing arguments filled with procedural ups and downs, he scratches his unkempt beard. There are a number of members of the victims’ families present in court. Warmerdam’s daughter Valerie cried and hugged a friend during a break after Crown attorney Jeffery Richardson showed crime scene photos of her mother on the screen. “The courts did a good job,” said Valerie after the day’s proceedings. “The crown put together a good case.” As the long ordeal draws to a close, she says she is feeling relieved. “Thank God, it’s almost over,” said the Algonquin College student who was looking forward to getting back to classes.
The first thing the court had to deal with on Tuesday was an issue with the jury; one of the jurors had a personal matter to attend to. After discussion with both the Crown and Borutski’s amicus curaie (or friend of the court, appointed because he is defending himself) the judge ruled to go ahead with the proceedings with 11 jurors, who have now been charged with deciding Borutski’s fate. Richardson started off by saying the judge would explain the jury must be satisfied the crown has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Borutski caused the deaths of Culleton, Kuzyk and Warmerdam; that when he caused their deaths he did so unlawfully; and that when he caused their deaths unlawfully, he did so intentionally. He summarized all three murders and why the Crown had proven those facts. “I submit to you ladies and gentlemen of the jury that this evidence should leave you with no doubt that Borutski killed Culleton, that he did so unlawfully and that he did so with intention. Pause now and consider the physical action of wrapping a cable around a living woman’s head seven times. How long it takes. How much effort it takes as she is fighting for her life. That adds up to an intention to kill,” said Richardson. “I suggest to you that when Basil Borutski took his
shotgun, went to Anastasia’s house, pointed the gun at her and discharged it as she cowered behind the island in her kitchen, he intended to cause her death … I suggest to you that when Borutski went into Nathalie’s house and chased her out of the dining room, through the living room, into a hallway and onto the stairs, he intended to kill her. “I submit that when he shot her on that stairway at close range with the shotgun he carried into the residence, he intended to kill her. About this you should have no doubt.” He also addressed the issue of Borutski and his use or references to God and his three Bibles that were found. “It may also be suggested to you that Borutski had some sort of diminished intention because he felt that God was with him and God was making these things happen. He speaks of there being two Basils, being beside himself, and being in a zombie-like state,” said Richardson. “I say that these are contrivances of a man who needs to explain the unspeakable things that he has done. Who better to use to shield his responsibility but God.” Richardson also spent a great deal of time on the definition of first-degree murder, including the element of criminal harassment when it came to Culleton.
Richardson referenced a number of elements he says prove the murder was planned and deliberate. “The distance he drove. The decision to take the shotgun with him. The order in which he set about murdering the three women. The decision to shoot Anastasia as she hid behind her counter. The decision to chase Nathalie through her house before shooting her on the stairs,” said Richardson. In a powerpoint presentation during his closing statement, Richardson used the video of Borutski to explain things in the accused’s own words. “As you listen to them, you should have no difficulty concluding that their murders were planned and deliberate. Borutski believed that the only way that he could achieve justice was to kill them,” said Richardson. “As I told you in my opening address six weeks ago, this brand of justice – where Borutski acts as judge, jury and executioner – is wrong. This brand of justice, ladies and gentlemen, is firstdegree murder.” The judge offered him a chance to speak, but as he has the entire trial, Borutski stayed silent. James Foord, amicus curaie, made his first and only address to the jury and outlined his argument for seconddegree murder. -with files from Jake Davies

Successful Dough Day for Ben TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com
Domino’s Pizza served up a delicious fundraiser for a Renfrew family on Nov. 24, exceeding their original goal. Dough Raising Day for Ben Scheuneman was held last Friday, with 100 per cent of Domino’s sales being donated to Ben and his family, as he recovers from an Oct. 27 car crash. The goal was to raise $10,000, which they reached at 4 p.m. In total, $15,000 was raised, which was matched dollar-for-dollar by Domino’s Canada. “I’m so proud to say we, together as a community, raised $30,000 in one day for this amazing family. This is for you, Ben,” said a Facebook post on Nov. 25. “All the best as you recover. Can’t wait to have you back at work.” Mitch Reinhart, franchisee/owner, explained on Friday afternoon that they knew they would be busy and they were prepared, but the number Tiffany Lepack/Metroland

of orders was overwhelming. “This community is one-of-a-kind,” said Reinhart. “It’s just really overwhelming that everyone came out to support a great family and we are very thankful for the support. It’s all about Ben and his recovery.” In the Facebook post, Domino’s Renfrew praised and thanked their entire team, along with the many who came from other stores to help out — including the Arnprior location, who helped with the larger orders. They also apologized to those who had a “less-than-perfect experience due to the incredible experience … please call the store and we will be happy to replace your pizza.” Scheuneman started working at Domino’s eight months ago. Renfrew Collegiate Institute, where Scheuneman is a student, also held a pizza lunch to support the fundraiser. Scheuneman is still in hospital in Ottawa recovering from his injuries.

Police add 144 charges in break-in investigations There’s been a development in a case that saw four Renfrew suspects charged in a slew of local break-ins. The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) arrested four adults and recovered a large quantity of stolen property on Tuesday, Oct. 17 in relation to break-ins at homes, cottages and hunt camps. Nov. 22, an additional 144 charges were laid. Police have solved 12 break and enter investigations after continuing their investigations into the crime spree. Accused are: Andrew K. MacDonald, 25 of Renfrew, Brandon D. Thomson, 29, of Renfrew, Jacob N. Thomson, 22, of Renfrew and Alisha Thomson, 20, of Renfrew. Are all facing charges of:
• Break and enter with intent to commit an indictable offence • Break and enter and commit an indictable offence • Wearing a disguise while committing an offence • Possession of break in instruments • Mischief under $5,000 • Mischief over $5,000 • Break and enter and steal a firearm • Possession of a firearm Arrest warrants for the four were executed Thursday, Nov. 23. They are appearing in bail court in Pembroke on Nov. 24. Police add 144 charges in break-and-enter investigations
OPP battle impaired driving The Renfrew Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) will be tackling the dangers of impaired driving this holiday season by setting up numerous “Festive RIDE checks,” on area roadways. The purpose of the check points is to ensure that drivers are not impaired by alcohol or drugs. The OPP will be checking drivers at various hours and at numerous locations, within the detachment area, including Renfrew, Arnprior, and smaller communities like Calabogie, Douglas, Cobden and points in between. RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) spot checks have been in place for years and are supported by police services across the
country. The Supreme Court of Canada ruled in 1985 that RIDE spot checks do not violate the Charter of Rights and freedoms. Festive RIDE checks are simply RIDE checks conducted during the “Festive” holiday season. As the holiday season approaches there will be more opportunities to celebrate with friends and family whether through parties, dinners or having a few people over. If a person has consumed alcohol or drugs, the OPP reminds people they have options. They can call a family member to pick them up, have a designated driver in their group, call for a taxi or stay the night. Remember if you are

OPINION
Connected to your community
Make it wonderful “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” is the title of a song first released in 1963, with Andy Williams as the singer. The song which celebrates various activities of the Christmas season, particularly being with those you love, has become a holiday standard. In these days leading up to Dec. 25, the song serves to remind us of everything we have to look forward to at Christmas time. It’s a time when at least for a while we forget all the everyday matters that seem to intrude on our daily lives, making us cynical, upset or worried about where the world is going these days. Whether it is the current sexual harassment scandals that are plaguing Hollywood and Washington or the Donald Trump-Rocket Man war of words that fearfully could lead to real war or the Rohingya refugee situation in Myanmar or the NAFTA trade negotiations or, closer to home, the further expansion of Highway 17 to make driving safer for everyone, there’s always something to keep us worried about our world and its future. The Christmas season, though, gives us a break from these worries and concerns. The time leading up to Christmas, with its many seasonal events and activities, serves to take our minds off these issues
and get us thinking about this “Most Wonderful Time of the Year.” These weeks include a plethora of Christmas craft fairs along with parades, Santa Claus appearances, concerts and, of course, that universal pastime that consumes all of us from now to Christmas Day, shopping. In today’s multi cultural society of which our Prime Minister speaks so often, some might claim that Christmas is a Christian celebration that does not fit with the many faiths and cultural groups that make up the Canada of 2017. But such a claim would be wrong because Christmas is, at its very heart, not an event per se but a feeling, a time when family and friends and good wishes towards all take over our thoughts. This is a feeling that we all can share here in Canada. So, it really is “the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” a time when we can celebrate what is most cherished in our lives, namely family and friends, and when we can all put aside our cynicism and worries and embrace what the Andy Williams song advocates with its lyric “And everyone telling you to be of good cheer.” The Christmas season is now underway. Let’s all enjoy it.
Thanks for overwhelming response at blood donor clinic To the editor: On behalf of Canadian Blood Services I’d like to thank the residents of Renfrew and area for joining us at our Oct. 30 blood donor clinic held at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 148. We received an overwhelming number of new and returning donors at this
special fall clinic. We could not accommodate all donors who attended the Oct. 30 Renfrew Blood Donor Clinic, and for those who were able to make a donation, the length of donation was longer than usual. Thank you for your patience. I am proud to say I was born and
raised in Renfrew and I continue to spend most weekends in the area. The way our community comes together in times of tragedy continues to inspire me. The higher than usual attendance at our recent blood donor clinic is no doubt an example of this special community spirit.
We are returning to Renfrew on Tuesday, Jan. 23 and we need your help to fill 86 appointments. I hope that existing donors will carry on assisting their neighbours, and I encourage those in the area who have never donated to book their first appointment. Canadian Blood Services’ clinics operate 6 times a year in our community. Please make an appointment to give blood by downloading the GiveBlood app, or visiting blood.ca. Somewhere, a patient and and to return home cost me $22. I am their family will be thankful! fortunate in having partial insurance #WolfPackStrong for such expenses. Not everyone is. Mary Ann St. Michael Christina Edgar Territory manager Renfrew Canadian Blood Services
Every minute of every day, someone in Canada needs blood, and in most cases, blood from more than just one generous blood donor. You may not need blood today but over half of all Canadians say they or a family member have needed blood or blood products.

MacKenzie family pledges $10,000 to Hospice Renfrew To the editor: Recently having had the opportunity to tour Hospice Renfrew, we discovered what a completely wonderful gem we have here in our town. Our family has decided to help support this incredibly lifeaffirming facility. I say ‘life-affirming’ wholeheartedly because that is what happens there. Facility, just doesn’t quite describe it properly. This warm, bright loving place is actually a home. It is a beautiful home to individuals and their families when they most need it. It is a home with specialized care by the most empathetic and capable group of professionals and volunteers I have ever met. Before our visit I thought of hospice as a sad and gloomy place but in reality, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Yes, at times there is sadness but there is so much more. Hospice Renfrew is a place where we can go when we need help with pain management and to transition into our end of life. The definition of hospice is ‘a lodging for travelers’ and I think that is a very fitting description. Years ago, our dad had just received a package outlining the need for supporters of Hospice Renfrew, just days before he headed to Florida for the winter. We spoke together about hospice and he told me as soon as he returned he planned to support it. Dad never lived long enough to go over that

After taking ill in Florida, he was airlifted home and died just hours later in Renfrew Victoria Hospital. Our family has had other charitable commitments over time and now we are so pleased to be able to support Hospice Renfrew by pledging $10,000 over five years. We know Mom and Dad would be proud. We urge the good people of Renfrew and surrounding areas to visit Hospice Renfrew. The staff there would be so happy to show you our beautiful facility of which they are so proud.

NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT FOR THE PROPOSED UNDERTAKING UNDER THE ONTARIO WATERPOWER ASSOCIATION CLASS EA FOR WATERPOWER PROJECTS: CALABOGIE GENERATING STATION REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is proposing to redevelop the existing Calabogie Generating Station (GS). This proposed undertaking will involve an Environmental Assessment (EA) under the Ontario Waterpower Association (OWA) Class EA for Waterpower Projects as a Project Associated with Existing Infrastructure. Constructed in 1917, the existing station has an installed capacity of 5 megawatts (MW) and is now at its end of life stage. OPG intends to redevelop the site and increase the station’s capacity to approximately 10 to 15 MW. The Proposed Undertaking is on the Madawaska River within the village of Calabogie, in the Township of Greater Madawaska, Ontario, as detailed on the map below. OPG does not plan to alter the approved water levels and flows as described in the Madawaska River Water Management Plan (WMP). As such, the anticipated zone of impact for the project is limited to the immediate area around the station (see shaded/hatched area on the map). An administrative amendment to the WMP may be required under the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act. This notice and public consultation process for the project under the Class EA is intended to coordinate and meet the notification requirements relevant to the planning stage of the project under both the Environmental Assessment Act and Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act statutes. The Class EA process requires OPG to undertake an evaluation of the project to evaluate its potential effects to the environment (positive and negative), and prepare a detailed Environmental Report. The evaluation and resulting environmental report will assess the potential effects of the proposed waterpower project on the environment during both construction and operation. OPG has identified certain environmental components that it expects to be the focus of the proposed project. Consultation with Indigenous communities and the public is an integral component of this process, to allow interested parties to provide comments on the project. You are invited to provide comments on the issues to be addressed. For information on the project proposal, to raise any issues or concerns, or to be placed on the project’s mailing list, please contact one of the individuals identified below. Over the next year, OPG will use the OWA Class EA process as a basis for coordinating all future consultation required for the planning stage of the Proposed Undertaking. If the project proceeds as scheduled, construction could commence in 2020. To encourage public participation, OPG is scheduling two rounds of Open Houses. The first Open House will likely take place in the first quarter of 2018 and OPG will provide further notification at that time. OPG has retained Arcadis Canada Inc. to undertake the Class EA process. For more information, please contact:

Some animals can be downright hard to see MICHAEL RUNTZ Nature’s Way
With winter peering around the corner, there is now a burst of animal activity. Before their ponds completely freeze over, beavers are busily adding

final touches of insulating mud to their lodges, as well as branches to the food pile in front of that structure. With the threat that snows will soon blanket the ground, red squirrels and chipmunks are still stashing away nuts and large seeds for consumption during the winter. And although the rut is over, between bouts of eating to restore body reserves lost during their season of love, bull moose are sparring. Recently, in only two days in Algonquin Park I encountered six beavers, four otters, three moose, and a plethora of chipmunks and red squirrels. The moose were bulls, and two were sparring. Sparring is not so much a fight as it is a ritualized display in which participants learn the relationship between antler size and body strength. Sparring bulls push against each other’s antlers, shoving back and forth with all their might. When a bull finally gets pushed backwards, it signals defeat by turning away. During the actual rut, sparring can be serious, with punctured eyes and other injuries occurring. When two bulls meet, they lower their heads and sway their antlers back and forth. If one of the bulls sports smaller antlers (and is therefore weaker), it usually turns away and aggression ends. If neither backs off, the shoving contest begins. But how do bull know if an opponent is more powerful or has larger antlers? I believe that knowledge is learned after the rut, during sparring contests. I’ve seen bulls spar in November and early December, then stop and amicably browse side by side, only to spar again. With no real prize (i.e., a cow) present, sparring after the rut may well allow bulls to learn who is who, valuable knowledge that is likely retained for the next year’s rut, with a lack of real aggression during the lesson. Oddly, none of the moose, otters, beavers, or a Great Gray Owl were the highlight of my trip. In fact, my high-
light bore neither feathers nor hair. I was photographing lichens on a Green Ash (a non-native tree commonly planted in Algonquin) when I noticed a small insect crawl into view. Although the lichens were a mere two-centimetres across, they dwarfed their visitor. I moved my camera closer and to my surprise, discerned it to be a Snow Scorpionfly! As the name suggests, Snow Scorpionflies are most of-

ten seen atop snow (but normally only on warm winter days). Four millimetres in length, they look like large pepper grains. But odd ones at that, especially the males with their scorpion-like appendages and saw-like wings. But to my knowledge, Snow Scorpionflies are only seen atop snow or in ground mosses, which they eat. To see one at eye-level on a tree trunk was a delightful surprise. That is the beauty of nature: in addition to larger animals that are always exciting to see, there are myriad small ones that are so easily overlooked. Even when they are right under your nose!

Book focuses on stories of residents who grew up in the Depression era TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com
A Renfrew author has released her second book just in time for the holiday season, and also hopes to raise some money for local seniors. Jayne Campbell’s second book is called Windows Volume 2 Sequel to Windows of the Soul, Stories of a Generation and it is a window into the lives of local seniors who grew up in the Depression era. The retired paramedic had tremendous feedback after the successful release of her first book Windows of the Soul, Stories of a Generation and after repeated requests wrote this new book. “I’m excited and proud,” said Campbell. “I’m hoping that this book will be well received as well as the first. This one is so much better than the first, I was just getting my feet wet with that one.” The first book that she put out in 2012 raised $3,000 for the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Assisted Living Program and the Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support. This year a portion of each book is being donated to home support. “They rely on donations and volunteerism and they offer amazing
Small Halls in DACA Dec. 8
The Ontario Festival of Small Halls is preparing to deck the halls again this year, expanding its hall-iday shows by bringing big names in holiday music to five special little places across Eastern Ontario. Being called A Very Celtic Christmas, Còig will entertain at the DACA Centre in Dacre on Friday, Dec. 8. The hall-iday shows will be a chance to gather together, celebrate community and dive into the season’s festivities. “We had so much fun with our fall festival, that we wanted rejoice in the holiday spirit in five very special halls,” said Kelly Symes, general manager of the Ontario Festival of Small Halls. “We’re delighted to expand our holiday shows this year, while presenting the unforgettable energy of Còig and the velvet harmonies of The Once.” Còig is one of Atlantic Canada’s première traditional groups. During explosive performances, Còig incorporates driving tunes, haunting songs and infectious energy. Newfoundland’s The Once will also fill the beloved halls with music. The Once is an award-winning modern indie folk trio based in St. John’s. The shows starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are on sale now for $25 in advance and more at the door.

support and programs for seniors who are valued and respected members of our community,” said Campbell. The first book had 30 profiles and while the new book only has 19, 13 from the Renfrew area and seven from her hometown of Hillsburgh, it is also 50 pages longer than the first. She was also able to develop her writing style more and conducted the interviews in a different way resulting in what she says is a better book. One of the profiles in the new book is of Elsie Wayne Haramis, who passed away on Nov. 2. “The day I went and delivered her copy of the book, she died that night and when she was found the book was on the table” said Campbell, who hopes she read her chapter. “If her story had not been in print, her story would have gone to the grave. It’s sad and unfortunate if that doesn’t happen. I think of the families and future generations that have this to treasure.” She says there was also another extremely important reason that she yearned to do another book. Submitted She realized the importance of fact Local author Jayne Campbell has released her second book Windows gathering and documentation of such fascinating and valuable personal hisVolume 2 Sequel to Windows of the Soul, Stories of a Generation, tories so they are in print for many the book is now on sale for $20 and a portion of each book is being generations to follow. donated to the Renfrew and Area Seniors Home Support.
“I think it’s important for people to realize the value of learning about hardships back in those early years and what it was like,” said Campbell. “Some people my age don’t know the hardships people endured. It is especially important for my children’s generations, (my) children really got their eyes opened.” Campbell believes that everyone has a story and no matter if a person thinks that they don’t have much to say about their childhood lives growing up, that is where she comes into help. “I think it is important to document these stories,” said Campbell. The books cost only $20 each and can be purchased at Scott and Sons Hardware, Sense of Country, Aikenhead’s Drug Store and the Home Support Office. They can also be purchased directly from Campbell, she can ship directly via Canada Post and also delivers in the Renfrew area as well as complimentary gift wrapping which also includes the ribbon and a tag. She is open to doing more volumes and if there are any seniors that are interested in being included in possible future volumes please contact her at (613) 432-6672 or via email: jaynemj3@hotmail.com.

Boys hit the basketball court
Renfrew Collegiate Institute (RCI) and St. Joseph’s High School junior boys basketball teams hit the court last weekend in preparation for the regular season. Cohen Dunn of the St. Joe’s Jags, photo at left, prepares to land a twopointer against Frontenac Secondary School Falcons. The Jags lost the home game. Meanwhile, photo above, RCI’s Johnny Roach, centre left, and Jag Malachi Johnson, on his knees, give up the ball during the first meeting of the season. It was a close-fought battle with the Raiders leading up until the last five minutes of the game. Ben Whittington closely covers Colby Bleeks during the junior boys game held Nov. 25. St. Joe’s stole the game in the final minutes, pulling ahead 47-41 and hanging on for the win.

Renfrew Curling Club’s first draw wrapping up ANDY SKLEPOWICZ AND MARG DAWSON
In the Monday night set teams the winner of A side were Rob Warren, Rory McKay, Andy Humphries and BrianHewitt. Winner of B and moving up were Phil Marcella, Ben Oakes, Dan St. Michael and Denver Mullen. Moving to B are team Ed Lepack and team Shelly Jamieson. The winners of the first draw and the Friendship Trophy were Gail Keyes, Joan Eaton, Louise Bowles and Janice Moss at four wins and a tie. The second-place team was Marg Dawson, Sue Hanniman, Laura Hanson and Sue Beaton at 3-1-1. The bye moves to the A side now with seven teams. Next Draw. Two teams up from B and one down from A. The first draw of the Thursday after-
noon curling had three teams tied atop the leader board. However the team of Rob Warren, Joan Eaton, Roy Leitch and Sue Beaton came in first, followed by the team of Yvonne Sklepowicz, Joe Kasaboski, E. Anne MacNeil and Bill Vant-Haaff. The team of Leo MCallum, Kevin Box, Willard Kranch and Laura Hanson finished third. The winners of the first draw for the Friday Night Fixed League were Darrin Topping, Anne Windle, Jim McGregor and Ann McGregor. They had only a tie blemishing a perfect record. The Friday Night Community League has now started, but is still accepting more teams to round out their numbers. If anyone is interested or has a question please contact Ben Oakes at 613-312-9905. In a key Low Cup outing, Renfrew trav-
elled to Pembroke to take on the standingsleading hosts. The team of Dave Eady, Andy Miller, Jim Berg and Bernie Leclaire played strong and consistent games winning 10-6 and 8-5 (taking a big two coming home with hammer). The Rob Warren foursome including Don Rouble, Rory McKay and Joe Kasaboski lost game one 9-6 giving up a steal of two with hammer in the last end. Warren had an easy hit for a tie or a tough draw through a port for the win. Unfortunately the missed draw through the hole resulted in a loss. In the second game the result was 5-5. Once again they had a very tough shot for three to win or a tough shot for 2 to tie. This time discretion led to the easier option and the tie. The day’s result brought the local lads to a virtual tie with point leader Pembroke.

She was fun to be with and taught by good example. Jane was a long time pastoral care worker with Holy Redeemer Parish in Kanata. Nothing ARNPRIOR gave her more joy than to visit the sick and the elderly. Many a person she took under her wing and often she went above and beyond her pastoral care duties to care for them. Jane’s many spiritual friends supported her throughout her bout with ovarian cancer. Mary in particular provided frequent and uplifting spiritual encouragement throughout the difficult times. Jane spent most of her career as the Payroll Manager for the RMOC and then the amalgamated City of Ottawa.

Jane was an avid speed walker and along with her longtime friend Maureen, travelled the streets IN MEMORIAM IN MEMORIAM of Bridlewood over the past 35 years. Jane and Doug spent many an occasion with the Stewart, O’Brien and Hoskins families. Jane and Doug also shared some wonderful trips to Jamaica, Panama and Hawaii with the Hoskins.

CAROL ANN MARIE BENNETT In loving memory of our beautiful daughter who passed away November 29, 2016.
Carol Ann Bennett
March 1, 1958 - November 29, 2016 20.5 years ago, a disenchanted 32 year old boy met a beautiful but sad 39 year old girl. The first time I saw you, I thought that each day, the sun rose in your eyes. And the moon and the stars, were your gifts that you gave to the night.
As we were driving along the Queensline Road, we noticed something that made us turn around. Well, I pulled a U-turn and ended up running out of shoulder and getting stuck in the ditch. Luckily, a farmer saw us and came by with his tractor and pulled us out. With many thanks, we were on our way again. I turned to Carol Ann and either bravely, or stupidly, I said “Well Woman, I guess this makes you my “Ditch Pig”. Let me tell you Folks, it was touch and go from there. But when I heard “I guess I am”. Those words and a mile long grin, let me know that this was the start of an amazing love story. TO BE CONTINUED...
RIP my beautiful Angel until we will meet again. Love from Mom and Poppa RENNIE December 6, 1939 December 5, 2008 When someone you love becomes a memory, The memory becomes a treasure.

November 26, 2013 - Mom To put into words what you mean to me Would be equivalent to the air I breathe You were the glue that kept us strong Things aren’t the same now that you’re gone You always saw the good in everyone And could never manage to say aluminum I want to raise my girls to be like you You taught them they can do anything they put their mind to. I still smile when I remember you Mom Lily looks just like you with her glasses on I miss you so much and the girls do to But I take comfort knowing Dad’s with you You’re back together in a much better place I wonder if you met Elvis and how the coffee tastes. We love you and miss you Mom! Love Larry, Lori, and Lily

It is very important to note here, that if the KID hadn’t said hi, and if she didn’t want to babysit, none of this might never have happened; but it did. I knew then that I actually felt a chance at happiness and perhaps real love.
When November 29th, 2016 ended, Tomorrow never came. But the tears sure did. And they still come everyday.
In loving memory of my husband Gerald Ludwig Lentz December 5, 2012 Deep in my heart your memory to love and cherish, never forget. Love Always Adam, Sara, Mae, Eva and Steven Lentz

Now while I was admiring Carol Ann from afar, Candice (the KID) came up to me and said hi. I was headed up to the trailer hood store and said hey back. On the way back, the KID was still outside. I asked her if she could babysit some times throughout the summer. She agreed, so I asked about Saturday afternoon but she would have to make sure it was ok with her Momma. I then asked Carol Ann if she would like to go for a drive Saturday afternoon. And the answer was yes. I’m so glad it was.
If roses grow in Heaven, Lord pick a bunch for us, Place them in my daughter’s arms, And tell her they are from Poppa and me. Tell her that we love her and miss her, And when she turns to smile, Place a kiss upon her cheek, and hold her for awhile. Because remembering her is easy, We do it everyday. But there’s an ache within our hearts, That will never go away.

Farm visitors were a concern for Mary during the winter months It was a worry for me. Winter had settled in and the fields were deep with snow, and paths made only for the places we had to get to ... the barns, the ice house, the pump, and of course the outside privy. Everywhere else was just massive drifts of white snow. The West Hill, across the creek and leading to the railroad tracks was also covered in snow, and this was what I was worried about. It was a time when tramps rode the rails, and before the snow came, it was unusual if we didn’t have two or three tramps a week, coming up from the tracks looking for a meal. And they were never turned away ... Mother setting an extra place right at our dinner table, and sending them off with a brown paper bag of sandwiches and cookies. And now the hill was covered with snow, and I worried about the tramps ... how would they find a place to eat? Or sleep? And then one morning, just after the snow came, Father came in for his breakfast after the morning chores and said he was pretty sure a tramp had come up the hill, and went into the barn to sleep. At least he would be warm, I thought. But what about something to eat? Father didn’t have an answer. My heart ached for the tramps. Many of them not much older than my brothers. Mother said they were orphaned children brought over from the British Isles to work on Valley farms.
with a place for a thermos in the lid. And at night she made sandwiches, filled the thermos with hot tea, and Father took it out to the barn and left it on the makeshift bed. Some nights it wasn’t touched, but often it was. And when the lunch box was empty, I knew that a tramp had had a good nights sleep, and something for his stomach before heading back to the West Hill and the train tracks. We never saw the tramps coming or going in the wintertime. In the summer, they came right to the kitchen door, and were invited in to sit at our table. It was when the cold blasts of winter hit Renfrew County that I worried about them. And I often wondered how they knew that up the hill there would be a bed for them and sandwiches and cookies to take out of the lunch box and take with them when they headed back to the tracks. But they knew. And they knew not to take the battered black lunch box with them ... because there would be others, like them looking for a warm place to sleep. And there would be a lunch box with enough food to fill their stomachs before heading out again over the West Hill to the railroad tracks. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
She said many were so mistreated they had to run away, and they became the many tramps who rode the rails. So often I cried when Mother told me about the tramps, and now they were caught in the winter snow with no place to sleep, and I could feel my stomach go into knots just thinking about them. Father could tell I was upset, and he said he had an idea. He took me out to the barn, and I watched as he put two wood benches together, and piled hay on them, and then covered the hay with a horse blanket. He put it well away from the doors, and I knew from being in the barn at night with Father, that it would be toasty warm inside, even without benefit of a stove. Then he went to the drive shed and took an old cushion he used on the hay mower and put it at the head of the makeshift bed. To me, it looked a lot more comfortable than the old creton couch in our kitchen. But I still worried about the tramps. We could give them a warm place to sleep, but what if they were hungry? Well, Mother had a solution for that too. We had an old battered black tin lunch box,
Renfrew Bridge Club trumps dreary autumn days MIKE NAGRODSKI
The first four weeks of November may have been a dull and dreary outside, but the Renfrew Bridge Club has become a favourite spot for the bridge playing crowd as, on average, 13 tables of players have turned out for each of the afternoon sessions. As the sportscasters would say, each week definitely has a “play of the week.” On Nov. 1, all players treated one of the boards exactly the same way, as it was played 12 times and all North-South pairs bid a fourheart contract; however only Lou MacDonald and Ed McCann managed to extract 12 tricks from the hand and win themselves a top board. Nov. 8 was a very good afternoon to be a bridge player as 34 slam contracts were attempted (27 were successful). On one hand, though eight of the North-South pairs bid and made a slam, only Jeannie Yagminas and Mona Brydges were bold enough to extract a relatively rare grand slam on the board. Well played ladies! Nov. 15 saw a rare feat, as Ted Ambridge and Wilf Brousseau managed score slams on successive boards; their opponents must have been really happy to see them move on to the next table! While one of the boards, on Nov. 22, must have been a tempting “trap” hand. For, though six East-West pairs were lured into bidding a slam,

none were successful. Sometimes: “If it seems too good to be true…” Congratulations to the North-South winners from: Nov. 1: 1: Carol Sulpher - David Sulpher; 2: Amanda Walley Bruce Tennant; 3: Ernie Berndt - Eric Brown Nov. 8: 1: Ruth Grant - Mary McCann; 2: Bev Kobus - Brenda MacPhee; 3: Arthur Ham – Phyllis Brennan Nov. 15: 1: Ronda Vaillancourt - Lila Paddock; 2: Ruth Grant Mary McCann; 3: Jocelyne Tetrault - Alison Maclean Nov. 22: 1: Irene Churchill - Gary Churchill; 2: Phillippa Baran Nancy Cavanagh; 3: Bev Kobus - Audrey Copeland Congratulations to the East-West winners from: Nov. 1: 1: Bob Bouchard – Garry Irving; 2: Rick Duncan - Leanne Cheliak; 3: Liz Cox - Kathleen O’Grady Nov. 8: 1: Ted Ambridge - Wilf Brousseau; 2: Yolande Baillon – Bette Rowe; 3: Loretta Hennessy - Rick Duncan Nov. 15: Tom Sewter - Sharon Sewter; Alice Smaglinski - Diaan Juby; Rick Duncan - Leanne Cheliak Nov. 22: Elgin Duke - Eleanor Thompson; Loretta Hennessy Carolyn Milford; Rick Duncan - Bruce Tennant

Scouts need youth
Show time at RCI
Do you know of a youth aged five to 14 that either loves the outdoors, or would love the chance to get outdoors? Are you an adult that enjoys working with children and spending time in nature? If you’ve answered ‘yes’ to either question, then First Renfrew Scouting wants to hear from you. First Renfrew Scouting is looking to build our group by welcoming adventure-minded individuals to our already diverse sections. We have room for Beavers- ages five to 7, Cubs- ages eight to 10, and Scouts- ages 11 to 14.Please contact renfrewbeavers@gmail.com for more information.
The Renfrew Collegiate Institute (RCI) music department presents its annual concert on Wednesday, Dec. 6 at 7 p.m. Cost to attend is $7 at the door. The cost of your ticket will be reduced by $1 with a donation to the food bank. Children under five get in free. The concert band, intermediate band, junior band, Blue Notes vocal ensemble, jazz band and soloists will perform. Sherry Haaima/Metroland
