News – It’s been a mainstay of the holiday season in downtown Renfrew for 30 years. Revellers celebrated the lighting of the Vern Yemen Memorial Nativity Scene at a special event Nov. 30. The Put Christ back in Christmas committee joined officials and the public for Christmas music, celebration and hot chocolate on a rather warm, slightly rainy Sunday evening in Low Square. The Nativity has been around for as long as many can remember and was named for long-time community supporter Vern Yemen after his death in 1996.

News - Police can’t yet confirm whether two separate pharmacy robberies in the Ottawa Valley are related. A lone male armed with an edged weapon made away with narcotics from Conway’s Pharmacy in Cobden early Thursday (Nov. 27) in the evening. Last Friday night in Renfrew, an armed male robbed Aikenhead’s Drug Store of some narcotics just after 7 p.m. Both incidents are still being investigated and it’s too early to say for sure the same person is responsible. “We have no idea,” said OPP Sergeant Rob Guty. “Are they connected? We don’t’ know. It’s really preliminary right now. There’s a team working on it.” Descriptions in both cases are similar. Police are investigating the possibility the same suspect is responsible but are so far treating it as though it is two separate people. At about 5:20 p.m. Nov. 27, a man armed with an edged weapon entered the store and demanded narcotics. He fled the store with a quantity of stolen drugs. The male involved in the Cobden pharmacy incident is described as: white,

English speaking, approximately 5’10” to 5’11”, with a slim build. He was wearing gray jogging pants, a long sleeve gray hoodie, and a red ball cap. The suspect in the Renfrew drug store is described as white, 5’10” to 5’11” tall with a skinny build and short, dirty blond hair. He was wearing a red baseball cap, hooded sweater and a pair of baggy blue jeans. The incidents are certainly concerning and police are looking into why they are happening, he added. Guty could not comment on whether police would be releasing security footage images but said that might be an avenue they explore. What can area business owners do to protect themselves? “We always promote being very security conscious when it comes to running your business,” said Guty. OPP will be following up all leads and continuing the investigations. “We’ll probably be assigning more units in patrol of drug stores in Renfrew County,” said Guty. Anyone with information on this crime is asked to call the Renfrew OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477.

News - Renfrew Mayor-Elect Don Eady will be officially sworn into office Dec. 10, but he’s already very much on the job. After taking his new council out for dinner at the Old Town Hall Tea Room the previous night to begin the bonding process for the four years that lie ahead, Eady attended a Nov. 26 public information session on the rehabilitation of Highway 132 within the town limits. The work will stretch from Raglan Street, down Munroe to Lochiel Street, then to Lisgar Avenue and all the way to the town limit at Riverview Drive. JP2g Consultants project engineers Neil Caldwell and Rob Sapinski attended the

two-hour session at the Renfrew town hall where they answered questions from citizens, as well as members of the incoming municipal council. The project is expected to go to tender early in 2015 and be awarded by early February. Construction schedules will depend upon contractor availability and planning, as well as weather conditions in the spring. ”It’s a pretty neat plan,” Councillor-Elect Kate Windle observed, stressing the need to create a roadway that accommodates not only cars, but bicycles as well. She also noted the importance of accessibility for people using motorized wheelchairs and scooters. The last major work on Lisgar Avenue was back in the 1980s.

News – Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski want to stop drivers from venturing out without cleaning off their vehicle windows/ In the Ontario Legislature recently, Yakabuski re-introduced his Private Members’ Bill intended to make Ontario’s roads safer during the winter months. The Bill addresses the problem of snow and ice dislodging from moving vehicles, potentially resulting in personal injury and property damage. With winter approaching, the objective of safer roadways during the coldest months becomes more relevant with each passing day, Yakabuski notes. “I first introduced this Bill earlier in the year after hearing from a constituent named Gord Stickles,” he explained. “His minivan was struck last winter by a sheet of ice up to five inches thick and 53 feet long coming off a tractor trailer” added Yakabuski. “My hope last spring was that this Bill could

have been debated in the House, but the subsequent election meant it died on the Order Paper.” Presently there are no requirements in the Highway Traffic Act compelling drivers to clean off their vehicles. If passed, the Bill would do just that by giving police officers the tools to fine drivers who do not comply with this “minimum safety requirement.” As when this Bill was originally before the House, Yakabuski hopes to secure all-party support in order to expedite its passage. “As I said to the previous Transportation Minister last spring, if Minister Del Duca wants to make this a piece of government legislation he is more than welcome to do so” said Yakabuski. “This is not a political matter for me. This is an issue of public safety. “If it can become law more quickly as a government Bill, it means that the province’s drivers will be safer during the winter months when they head out on the road.”

WSAC reaches out to victims of sexual violence WSAC director

threats, negative consequences, or victim-blaming rhetoric (i.e. “You know you wanted this”; “If you tell about what happened here, you will be in trouble”) during episodes of sexual coercion. This inevitably impacts upon a victim’s ability to react, resist or report what happened; • False allegations of sexual assault are not a common social problem. Accidental misunderstandings of consent during sex are not a common problem. The laws on consent are clear. What is a common social problem is; (1) the reality that survivors of sexual assault are regularly not believed or supported when they disclose their experiences of violation and (2) offenders are not held accountable for their actions. In reality, the majority of all reported sexual assault cases are simply not reported at all (less than 10 per cent) – and those

that are reported are not always resolved through the criminal justice system. Due to the limits of the criminal justice system response, a small minority of those initially charged with sexual assault actually see convictions. With these realities in mind, WSAC reaches out to survivors of sexual violence in Renfrew County, their support people, and to anyone who may find themselves as a bystander in situations of sexual violence, particularly as it may occur in the workplace. For example: • It may be a friend, acquaintance or coworker who tells you that something happened to her or him; • It might be an employee who tells you that something happened to her or him; • You may have had an experience with workplace or dating sexual violence yourself.

We at the Women’s Sexual Assault Centre (WSAC) realize you are likely to hear many interpretations of the Jian Ghomeshi situation in the community and in the media. To us, the stories of women who faced sexual harassment in the workplace, physical and sexual violence, and violence in dating scenarios within the chronology cited are unfortunately all too common. These stories do not detail adventurous forms of sex that included role-play, dominance and submission; or benign miscommunication within BDSM practice. Instead, they reflect these women’s experiences of sexual and physical violence. We are also aware of survivor-victims’ fear of reprisal for sharing their stories. In the recent cases, many of the women

chose not to file police complaints, and “the reasons given for not coming forward publicly include; the fear that they would be sued or would be the object of Internet retaliation. These fears reflect the concerns of all survivors of sexual violence. They also point to the many root causes of low reporting and conviction rates of sexual assault in Canada. For example: • Many survivors do not report due to stigma, embarrassment, selfblame, a fear of not being believed, and concern for repercussions in their personal relationships – particularly when the offender is a friend, family member, acquaintance or co-worker; • The majority of sexual assault offenders are in fact known to the victim in some way; • Acquaintances, friends, dates or relatives are more likely to use tricks, verbal pressure,

Young Burnstown author Noah Cunningham in the spotlight Sherry Haaima sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It was a very special day for a young Burnstown author who has just published his ďŹ rst book. Family, friends and fans joined Noah Cunningham on Saturday, Nov. 22 for a book launch and signing event at the Rocky Mountain House in Renfrew. Noah, 12, wrote and illustrated Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nice to See a Light and the Shoes, a story about two detectives and a dog who set out to save the planet and their townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s superhero. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty excited,â&#x20AC;? said Noah, who started writing stories in Grade 2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone seems to like the book. People have been saying itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an awesome read and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all congratulating me.â&#x20AC;? With often quirky, off-the-wall humour, Cunninghamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heroes take on corporate villains, who if allowed to

do their deeds, will not only own hydro power but the water, too, taking it for their own proďŹ t. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about environmental stuff,â&#x20AC;? said Noah. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of resource extraction going on. The stuff theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting away with â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really gross.â&#x20AC;? Protecting the environment is an important issue, said Noah. Promotion for the book says Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nice to See a Light and the Shoes is a ďŹ ctional 50-page story, for children between the ages of nine and 13 and that it is a serious reďŹ&#x201A;ection on todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever increasing resource extraction. Beloved character Mr. Micman is named for Noahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dog Mick and the story is based on an album and song title of one of his favourite artists. Animals and music are among his other interests. Noah is taking his success all in stride, says proud mom Marci Joyce.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very modest,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sold quite a few books already.â&#x20AC;? The young author is getting quite a bit of local media attention and is scheduled to appear on CTV Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s morning show Dec. 4, where along with talking about the book launch, he will be actually doing some illustrating during the course of the show. Noah said he is deďŹ nitely interested in pursuing his writing dreams and creating more books. The book is published by the Upper Ottawa Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Store Publishing House. Publisher Tim Gordon is pleased with the launch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was very successful, we sold over 100 copies,â&#x20AC;? said Gordon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being very well-received by the book trade.â&#x20AC;? Gordon said a few words at the event.

Noah Cunningham is joined by his sister Bliss Joyce at a Nov. 22 book launch at the Rocky Mountain House in Renfrew. Noah, 12, wrote and illustrated Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nice to See a Light and the Shoes. SHERRY HAAIMA/ METROLAND

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Noah has lots of talent. Like a lot of authors when they ďŹ rst start out heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a storyteller. Now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going

EDITORIAL

A heartfelt thank-you

Opinion - Transitions are a tricky thing. They can be uncomfortable, leaving people teetering between enthusiasm for the future and appreciation of the past. Last month outgoing municipal councils bade their farewells and this month new councils will be sworn in across the region. There is sweeping change at the Renfrew council table, but the town and its citizens would be remiss to move along to whatever brave new tomorrow awaits without taking the time to acknowledge and express sincere appreciation for outgoing reeve Audrey Green. Gratitude is always a good thing, especially for people who are willing to step forward and tackle the often tumultuous and ungrateful task of running a community. Green’s contribution to Renfrew has been a generous one indeed. Here in the Renfrew Mercury newsroom the evidence is, quite literally, all around us. From a yellowing Nov. 28, 1968 Renfrew Mercury that shows Green running for a second term

as Renfrew Separate School Board trustee, to a photo of Green making a passionate plea in the old town hall council chambers across from Low Square, to various images from her subsequent time as mayor and later reeve. People say that municipal politics is different from provincial and federal politics because it is so very close; so very personal. But at the end of the day, politics is politics and in a democratic society people have the ultimate power to determine how they want to move forward, and who they want to follow down that winding road. Now is the time to move forward, with hope and optimism. But it is also the time to say a heartfelt thank-you to a woman who has dedicated so much time and energy to her town. In her 1968 bid for school board Green said she knew that “a woman with the determination and courage to take an active interest in the affairs of her community can be a strong representative.” We agree and thank for her service.

Opinion - Let’s not call this an introduction. With the recent retirement of senior reporter Steve Newman, we’ve done some shuffling at our Ottawa Valley papers. The changes, thankfully, have landed this Valley reporter squarely right where she began. And it’s a great place to be. Staff changes aren’t something the average reader even probably notices as they pick up the paper each week to catch up on what’s happening at local council tables, out

editor who asked for an introductory column), I’m back. Having spent five years here working at my hometown paper before venturing off to the bright lights and big city of Arnprior for 10, I’ve settled comfortably into the role of community newspaper reporter – a job I’m grateful and happy to have. While deadlines, tight production schedules and tragic stories difficult to comprehend are the cons, meeting new, often inspiring people, learning new things and not knowing

quite what each day will bring are among the numerous pros. Ten years in Arnprior have taught me many things. Among these is the fact that despite a long-time sports rivalry and 30 kilometres difference on the map, Arnprior and Renfrew aren’t all that different. Sure, Arnprior’s waterfront is more picturesque, Renfrew has better big box shopping. Renfrew has a Catholic high school in addition to the public one, Arnprior has Willis College.

Canadian citizenship: who’s rewriting history? To the editor:

Opinion - Lost Canadians, a citizenship advocacy group, is challenging the government’s version of the history of Canadian citizenship before 1947. A spokesperson for Citizenship and Immigration Canada has stated that the legal concept of Canadian citizenship has existed only since January 1, 1947. History does not support that assertion. The government’s position seems to be that Canadian citizenship was created ex nihilo on Jan. 1, 1947. In fact, the term “Canadian citizen” has been part of the statute law since 1910, not 1947. It originally meant a British subject born, naturalized or domiciled in Canada. Historically, the evolution of Canadian citizenship between 1910 and 1946 parallels the gradual accession of Canada to full nationhood during those years. An important milestone was the Canadian Nationals Act 1921, which defined Canadian nationality for

the purposes of Canada’s membership in the League of Nations. It incorporated the 1910 definition of Canadian citizen and included children born abroad to Canadian fathers. By the 1940s, with Canada at war, the term Canadian citizen had acquired something like its present meaning in both common parlance and official usage, though not yet in statute law. Archival documents assembled by the Lost Canadians group show clearly that the term Canadian citizen was in official use by the government of Canada during those years, and not only for the purposes of the Immigration Act as the government maintains. ( These documents may be viewed at www.LostCanadian.com). For example, a booklet published in 1943 by the Department of National Defence informed Canada’s young men that they would be fighting as citizens of Canada. This debate is essentially a three-way collision be-

tween history, politics and law. The case of Jackie Scott, now before the Federal Court, turns in part on this question: Was the Canadian Citizenship Act 1946 a complete break with the past,

or did it build on what came before? And if Canadian soldiers of the Second World War (including Ms. Scott’s father) were told that they were fighting as Canadian citizens, why is the

government now telling us they were not? The government is effectively accusing Lost Canadians of trying to rewrite the history of Canadian citizenship. If the

minister and his officials really want to know who is rewriting history, they should look in the mirror. Don Chapman Gibsons, B.C.

PC leadership race heating up, local MPPs not endorsing candidates tlepack@metroland.com

News – Two local Members of Provincial Parliament (MPPs) are not disclosing who they are supporting in the Progressive Conservative (PC) provincial leadership race. The race officially started in mid-November and candidates can file to become a leadership candidate until noon on Jan. 30. Party members will vote by preferential ballot on either May 3 or 7, 2015 and the results will be announced at the PC Leadership Convention on May 9 in Toronto. So far there are four registered candidates: Patrick Brown, Christine Elliott, Vic Fedeli and Lisa MacLeod, and Monte McNaughton has declared he is running but has yet to officially file. Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski must stay neutral in the race for not one but two reasons. Yakabuski is the caucus representative on the PC provincial executive and he was also appointed to the Leadership Election Organizational

Committee (LEOC), which oversees the election process. “I was required to sign a neutrality contract as all members of the LEOC are and as the caucus representative I am expected to be neutral as well,” said Yakabuski. This committee meets once a week in person or via a conference call to discuss any developments in respect to the leadership race or if any clarifications are needed on the rules of the race. Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren thinks all five people in the race are hard workers who are getting out to meet as many people as possible across the province. He is looking forward to the results of the race. “I am looking forward to a stronger party with a stronger leader that is more responsive to the wants and needs of the grassroots people,” said MacLaren. But he has been quite open with all the candidates and has not thrown his support behind one particular person. And he admits he probably will not come out in support of a candidate.

“The people in this riding can choose who they think will be the best leader,” said MacLaren. “That choice is best left to the grassroots party members and people will have lots of opportunity to make a decision.” ‘POSITIVE FOR PCS’ Both Yakabuski and MacLaren admit that the leadership race is a good thing for the party. “Like with every leadership race, your party will get more attention,” said Yakabuski. “The contest itself will generate more interest.” MacLaren calls it an exciting time for the party. “Choosing a new leader doesn’t happen too often,” admitted MacLaren. “We have good people running and that bodes well for the party as they are all creditable candidates.” MacLaren admits that under the leadership of Tim Hudak the party did not fair very well. “The last election was very disappointing,” said MacLaren. “We needed change and Mr. Hudak was the first to recognize that.” He thinks that a new leader

will have a different view than Hudak did. “The voters rejected us and went with Liberals, whose history over the last 11 years has been anything but stellar; we have to listen to the people,” said MacLaren. “The party has to provide leadership that will restore the prosperity to Ontario, which means jobs, wealth, more tax revenue and we have to take control of the debt as it has become very high.” LONG RACE Yakabuski says that the race has been developing slowly. “In reality it is a long contest: unofficially it started when Hudak resigned but officially candidates could register as of Nov. 8,” said Yakabuski. “It has been building up steam and it will continue to do so.” He thinks having to be neutral makes him more involved in the race as he is having in-

teraction with all of the candidates’ camps. With the long campaign, it will give people the opportunity to analyze which person they think will be the strongest candidate in the next election, he thinks. “No one is running to be the leader of the PC Party; they are running so they have a shot at being the next premier of Ontario and help to bring our party back to the governing side of Ontario,” said Yakabuski. He says each candidate will be working to build up the party membership, which he thinks will be key to winning the race. “Those who do the best job at bringing past members back and getting new members, that person is likely to be successful,” Yakabuski explained. “Although on the preferential ballot system you want

to be the second choice of as many people as possible, as it is unlikely one candidate could win more than 50 per cent on the first ballot. With the preferential system, it is very important to be the second or third choice.” Although he is officially neutral when it comes to the individual candidates, he admits he has confidence that no matter who wins the party will have a strong leader. “I know four of the five very well and everyone brings a lot of positive characteristics to the table,” said Yakabuski. “All have their own strengths and weaknesses and all have a lot of strong leadership characteristics.” The next leadership debate is scheduled in London on Jan. 26. Ottawa will host a debate on Feb. 11, and there will also be a debate in Toronto on April 30.

News - The Really Cool Initiatives Theatre Group presentation A Snow White Christmas played to appreciative audiences last week and weekend at the Renfrew Recreation Centre. A sold-out dinner theatre hit the stage Saturday night, sponsored by J.S. Wilson Financial Management. Based on the book by Norman Foster, the play is described as “a whimsical tale for all ages.” A Snow White Christmas was first produced by Theatre Orangeville in 2013. Starring in the cast were Jessica Belanger as Snow White, Anthony St. George as Vince Charming, Lawrence Mahusky as Freddy, Christina Ouellet as Dolly, Lori Ann Cherney as Fairly Good Mother, Amelia Rose

Retty as Prudence and Betty Daze as Lady in the Street. Featured in the children’s chorus were Alexia Bulger, Natasha Bulger, Eady Horvath, Hazel Horvath and Sophie Goegan. The director was Kathy Dagg, producer Jennifer St. Michael, associate director Doug Miller and musical director Sarah Penney. Director Dagg described Really Cool Initiatives as a group of people of all ages and from all backgrounds who join together through their love of musical theatre. “While I may hold the title of director, no production comes together under direction of just one person,” Dagg explained.

Warden’s Awards handed out at Nov. 26 county council session Michael Barber

County of Renfrew

Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon presented this year’s Warden’s Community Service Awards at the Nov. 26 session of county council. The Deep River Hospital Ladies’ Auxiliary was honoured in the not-forprofit category, Sullivan and Sons was honoured as the recipient of the business category, and Darrel Ryan was honoured with the individual award. The Warden’s Community Service Awards recognize and promote the outstanding efforts by community champions in Renfrew County for their active roles with social responsibility and community contributions. Each year, nominees are considered in each of the three categories on the basis of criteria as to how they contribute to the County of Renfrew’s quality of life. In other county business, representatives of the Renfrew County Road Supervisors Association (RCRSA) made a donation to both the Miramichi Lodge and Bonnechere Manor Foundations,

with each foundation receiving $2,500. The RCRSA also announced their scholarship and bursaries contributions to 11 high schools across the county in the amount of $30,000, and a further $10,000 to be split between each of the five hospitals in the county. Also receiving support were the Renfrew County Food For Learning Student Nutrition Program and the RCRSA Training Fund. In total, the RCRSA distributed $55,500 into the community from the proceeds of the 2014 Association of Road Supervisors Trade Show held this past June in Arnprior. CAO Jim Hutton, presented the 2014 Wellness Challenge Cup to this year’s winning team, Public Works and Engineering. The PW&E staff were commended on their 92 per cent departmental participation in Healthy Workplace Month. As part of the Healthy Workplace Month staff raised funds for the local chapter of the Canadian Tire Jump Start Program. County staff presented a cheque to the charity in the amount of $1,148.10.

Michael Barber/county of renfrew

Words of praise from warden Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon recognized the 12 outgoing county councillors with a presentation highlighting their contributions over their years of service on county council. Both the warden and County of Renfrew CAO Jim Hutton commended the councillors on their dedication and efforts in making “Renfrew County one of the best municipalities in Ontario.” A new council will be sworn in Dec. 16.

News - Greater Madawaska council closed the curtain on the township’s outgoing council Nov. 25 at the Parnell Street council chambers in Calabogie. Three members of township council, including Mayor Peter Emon, were attending their final meeting. Emon has made his way to Renfrew council where he will take over duties as reeve. Councillors Karin Lehnhardt and Bruno Kierczak in Wards 3 and 2 respectively, did not run for re-election in Greater Madawaska. The only returnee in a councillor capacity is Brian Hunt, while Glenda McKay steps up to begin her first term as mayor of the township. Joining Hunt in Ward 1 starting Dec. 9 is Nicole Guthrie. Harold Murphy was acclaimed in Ward 2, while Glen MacPherson is the successful candidate in Ward 3. Mayor Emon was a man of few words when summing up his final term at the helm of the township. “It’s been truly enjoyable,” he said. “I’ll miss the community.” Lehnhardt has been on Greater Madawaska council for four terms, and another three terms prior to amalgamation. Lehnhardt is pleased with the work of the trails advisory committee and first-time recreation committee in Ward 3. She said council was able to solve most issues they faced. “One thing that is terrific is, by the end of council, there is consensus in 95 per cent of the cases, and if not, we worked through it.” Lehnhardt said. Kierczak, who also was council’s economic devel-

opment representative, said the council experience allowed him to grow with the business community at large, and helped him grow as an individual. “Whenever I join an organization, I have it in my mind to leave it better than when I found it. I certainly had that opportunity here,” Kierczak said. He said the municipality’s moving of its staff and council into the new building was excellent. “I think the focus of the new council is moving forward, getting this municipality towards revenue generation, getting this municipality more involved in the actual execution of delivery of sustainability and economic growth,” Hunt said council and staff have done a lot of good things over the past four years. He lauded the work of the fire, public works, planning and finance departments. Hunt said Emon supplied good leadership over the years. “We appreciate the guidance that he has presented to council. Fortunately, he’s still a part of county council, so I guess he’s only a phone call or a visit away.” McKay said the support from the office staff has been phenomenal. “Over the years, we’ve made big changes in the office staff. “We’ve made improvements to the lines of business in the township and how we provide services to the residents. It’s something council can be very proud of, and it’s something staff should be extremely proud of,” she said. McKay commended the work of Mayor Emon and the other councillors during her first term on council. “I truly wish everybody the best as you go forward in your new adventure,” she said.

Title search underway, Farrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landing decision not expected until new year Lucy Hass

beginning of the Opeongo Road that opened up Renfrew County and far beyond started at Farrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landing Road,â&#x20AC;? Craig said in an email to Horton council. A title search is presently being done on the property to establish whether it does, in fact, belong to the township. The issue is not expected to be addressed by the new Horton council until January 2015. The new Horton Township Council was sworn in this past Monday and held its ďŹ rst regular meeting Tuesday.

Lucy.hass@metroland.com

News - A group campaigning to preserve the future of the heritage Opeongo Road at Farrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landing in Horton Township is on a holding pattern as the property is investigated and a new municipal council takes ofďŹ ce. Efforts to preserve the historic Farrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landing portion of the historic Opeongo Road are being led by resident Mae Craig. Joining her in the effort are history buff and Home Child Dave Lorente and Mary (Johnston) Jeffrey of Cobden. Craig requested that 82-year-old Jeffrey join the discussion because until 1950 she lived where the Farrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hotel stood, beside Farrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landing Road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are debating where Farrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landing is and Mary (Johnston) Jeffrey has proven that it is at the riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edge down from where the Opeongo Road Cairn is on River Road,â&#x20AC;? says Craig. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mary was the daughter of Gordon Johnston who has a vegetable garden and produce stand right beside the road. Her little brother fell off the wharf which was adjacent to their property and he was saved by a cook on one of the steamships,â&#x20AC;? Craig noteds Craig says Jeffrey and her relatives can prove that the wharf and piers were at the end of Farrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landing Road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to ensure that the history of the

PRESERVING HISTORY

Dave Lorente has taken great interest in the Farrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landing debate, noting the great historical signiďŹ cance of the Opeongo Road and development of Renfrew County. Lorente recounts how a Metis man named McCauley, a commissioned surveyor for the Canada West (Ontario) government, blazed a trail later followed by settlers, railway men and lumber barons. He was, said Lorente, directed to stick to the hillsides and avoid waterways that would require the costly construction of bridges. Lorente said the signiďŹ cance of the Opeongo Road â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which begins at Farrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is even greater when you consider the Opeongo Road met the Bell Line to run all the way to Lake Simcoe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was the Highway 17 of the day,â&#x20AC;? said

LOOK IN TODAYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S

Lorente, noting there were 13 colonization roads and the Opeongo Road was â&#x20AC;?the starting point of the whole 13 roads.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The road was a spine and everything radiated from it,â&#x20AC;? says Lorente. Over the years the former teacher has amassed a wealth of history, including 16 bankersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; boxes worth full of information on Home Children, and two bankersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; boxes of information directly related to the Opeongo Road and its historic signiďŹ cance. Driven by a passion for history, Lorente has also pulled together a series of presentday photos of the property in dispute, plus one of the ďŹ rst aerial survey photos taken, a 1934 photograph from Mines and Technical Surveys Ottawa showing the pier at Farrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landing. Lorente has been personally involved in the erection of markers and plaques, something he calls a â&#x20AC;&#x153;veriďŹ able process.â&#x20AC;?

So he is quick to note that two local historical plaques, and many others across the province, conďŹ rm the signiďŹ cance of Farrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landing and the Opeongo Road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two provincial plaques conďŹ rm the story and why they were erected at Castleford,â&#x20AC;? says Lorente. Lorente is well-versed in the broader history of why settlers came to this area, how they got here and the role of child migration, as well as â&#x20AC;&#x153;whiskey lanesâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;stopping placesâ&#x20AC;? along the way. Lorente says, over the years, development has â&#x20AC;&#x153;denied the public appreciation of the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historical signiďŹ cance.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the plaques are still permanent reminders, as are the underwater ruins of the dock, where thousands of better-off immigrants, with their families, belongings and animals (including pigs) landed,â&#x20AC;? Lorente said.

Arts - What compels someone to seek out the past and bring it back to life? For S.L. (Season) Osborne, the journey back is a natural step forward in her burgeoning career as an author. Osborne’s Arctic story started in 2003, when she received her master of journalism from Carleton University, writing her thesis on Capt. Joseph-Elzéar Bernier’s contribution to Arctic sovereignty. Always interested in people and their histories, she previously authored 32 biographies of noteworthy Renfrew County citizens for Legacy – Portraits of a Generation, published in 1999. Her fictional short story Prize-Winning Cucumber, appeared in Draw Up a Chair: A Treasury of Renfrew County Storytelling, published in 2002. She also wrote 50 Years on the Edge: a History of the Pembroke Figure skating Club, 1952 to2002. Osborne has also contributed to Canadian Geographic, Canada’s History Magazine (formerly The Beaver), as well as the RCMP’s Pony Express and Gazette magazines. From 1999 to 2001, while working as editor for Above & Beyond, First Air’s in-flight magazine, her visits to the North rekindled her keen interest in the Arctic, which inspired the idea for her master’s thesis. “You could say Bernier wouldn’t go away,” she says. “It seemed that this was a story that Canadians should know about.” Famous for claiming the Arctic for Canada, Bernier was only one of a number of intrepid men who led northern expeditions for the Dominion government. “These expeditions are not widely known. I felt this was an important part of Canadian history and set out to compile a story that anyone interested in the North would find remarkable.” For three years she pored over archival material, old newspapers, original expedition reports and explorers’ firsthand accounts. Her efforts resulted in her book In the Shadow of the Pole: An Early History of Arctic Expeditions, 1871-1912, published by Dundurn Press in December 2013. “I loved writing it,” she says. “It was so much fun to do the research; I had no problem with motivation.” As her published efforts captured a wider audience, Osborne soon found herself becoming an authority on early Canadian expeditions to the Arctic. Through mutual acquaintances she met representatives from the tour company Adventure Canada. Her knowledge of northern expeditions appealed to trip organizers, who felt it would be expedient to have someone with Osborne’s knowledge on sightseeing expeditions as a resource person.

Inuit artist, authors, photographer and Osborne as historian.  “It was amazing to actually travel some of the routes taken by the sailors in my book. The landscape was so beautiful and pristine. It was totally awe-inspiring.” Now afflicted with what she affectionately refers to as Arctic Fever, Osborne has her sights set on more stories of the North and its people. “I have a passion to write more about the North. There are so many stories that should be told and people who should be remembered for the contribution to our country’s development.” And though the North may be a primary topic for Osborne, she sees her writing branching out to include other genres, possibly even fiction. “It would be nice to weave history into a fictional story that would help to educate while entertaining readers.” Currently the publications officer at the Ottawa Hospital Foundation, Osborne always dreamed that she would one day be a writer. “I would love to write more about people. Their lives are such fascinating stories. “There is more to the history of these early Dominion government Arctic expeditions than could be found at the archives and in old newspapers. I am always looking for any details about these expeditions, to fill in a piece of our Canadian history.” People can check out her website at shadowofthepole.com

Barred owl searches for food on Queen Street in Renfrew

Northern harrier

Carol McCuaig was disturbed by the lack of birds at her feeder and noted that even the squirrels were a bit edgy. Hi, Jim & Ila: The birds that usually come to my feeder are making themselves scarce, and even the squirrels are edgy. For once the cause is not the resident Cooper’s hawk that hides

INSIDE

JIM FERGUSON Scene from the Hawk’s Eye in the nearby spruces in the hope of picking off a blue jay. This new predator is a male northern harrier (marsh hawk) that has been flying low around the house for the past few days. I’ve never saw a harrier hunting so close to the buildings before. Carol. Thank you for the email, Carol. A predator such as a northern harrier can certainly cause birds and small animals to find a good hiding place. As long as there is very little snow covering the fields the harriers will not migrate. They often remain to hunt and since there is usually lots of action near our feeders they will be right there looking for an easy meal. Not only are birds on the menu but also other small mammals, mice, moles and voles that come to pick up any seed that finds its way to the ground. Sandhill cranes

Paul Gallagher saw a flock of between 20 and 30 sandhill cranes flying in a “V” high above his farm. He said he heard them a long time before he saw them. Like geese, harriers and hawks, the cranes will remain

Ruth Quast saw a snowy owl on her way to work last week in Admaston-Bromley Township. The bird was white without any dark feathers indicating that it was an adult bird. The owls will remain in the area as long as their food source – small mammals, can be found. Once the snow becomes too deep for the animals to be seen the owls will move farther south. Young birds have dark feathers on the top of the head, wings and chest. See HAWK’S EYE, page 31

with us as long as there is food for them on the ground that is not covered with snow. Cranes average about 42 miles per hour (68 km/h) during migration and with a following wind that speed can increase substantially. Ron Bowes saw a flock of 34 sandhill cranes flying over the Bowes property last week. Ten years ago to see a sandhill crane was a rare sight. Now that the birds have established themselves they are seen regularly, especially by those living in the country. During the spring migration 500,000 sandhill cranes have been counted resting and preening along the shores of the Platte River in Nebraska where there is food and freedom from predators. Sandhill cranes have been used to incubate the eggs and raise the young of the endangered whooping crane with some success.

Lifestyle - Cathy and Terry Vincent in Renfrew saw a barred owl on Queen Street in Renfrew. The bird appeared very curious and watched the Vincents closely. Cathy was able to get a very good photo of the bird and, as you can see in the photo on the next page, the round head and large dark eyes are very good field marks. Young birds have a reddish tinge to their plumage in the fall but by spring the colour has worn off and adults and young are identical. In the spring first year birds are forced from their parent’s territory and must find their own. Immature male barred owls will move into populated areas in search of food. They are quite tolerant of people and will stay in one location for several minutes waiting for a prey species, usually small mammals such as mice and voles, to appear. Barred owls do not migrate and will remain on their breeding territory all year. Males, females and young will move off their territory to areas where food is more plentiful, often into built-up areas.

Cardinals

Shirley Leith was surprised this week when she saw eight cardinals in her back yard. The birds were feeding on the berries of several species of berry bush in the Leith garden. Shirley also has a large feeding program with lots of sunflower seed and a fruit and nut mix she says the birds really seem to enjoy.

Mary Steele was visiting in Kanata this week and she saw seven cardinals on her brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feeders. The birds were feeding and perching in the trees. There could have been just as many females in the area but because of the commotion they remained hidden.

Help RCC Pipe in the Brine Sherry Haaima

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

The Renfrew Curling Club has launched a campaign to help the club repair its ailing infrastructure. More than 70 people filled the upstairs hall of the rink for the Nov. 21 launch of Pipe in the Brine, a fundraising campaign to help repair the brine pipes, which have deteriorated over the years and need replacing. President Andy Sklepowicz referred to the club’s centenary book, outlining a 1967 article that spoke of dwindling membership and strained finances at that time. The member-owned club is now 140 years old. “History repeats itself,” said Sklepowicz. The PVC/plastic pipes that are now ailing were installed in 1974, replacing metal ones. “They are now 40 years old,” he said. A major part of the problem is the wooden understructure has rotted and the pipes are now hanging from

the headers. Trying to brace the headers and pipes has been tried and just adds new stresses to the structure. “Over the past six-seven years we have slowly replaced every single piece of equipment in this club,” said Sklepowicz. Getting the pipes up to par is the logical next step. “If you have replaced every piece of equipment it only makes sense to replace the last one.” There is still some question as to whether a cement or sand base is the best fit for the club and discussion and decisions on that will be made at the club’s annual general meeting. Fundraising chair Lee Sharpe thanked all those in attendance. “It’s really, really great to see all of you here,” said Sharpe. The club is reaching out to businesses, individuals, municipalities and local service clubs for help. See VARIETY, Page 34

Sens fans got a chance to check out Harpur during the six-game series which matched the best Canadian junior players against their Russian counterparts. Harpur, 19, who plays for the Guelph Storm, recently signed an entry-level contract with the Senators. The Russians won the Nov. 13 game by a score of 4-0.

Sports - Mark Twain’s misquote applies to the situation facing the Renfrew Curling Club and so I will further stretch the quote to say that our expectation of the club’s death has been greatly exaggerated. And the evidence comes from the large number of members and friends of curling that showed up at the meeting Nov. 23. Lee Sharpe, on behalf of the board and her ever interesting guest, Dave Smith, laid out a detailed plan of how the funds necessary to replace the brine pipes will be raised with the support of the members and the community. A number of board members also updated the audience on the condition of the brine pipes and the club’s plans to maintain them until necessary funds are in place to

replace them. There is little doubt that with everyone’s support, curling in Renfrew will be around for many years to come. In the latest Low Cup action, Renfrew travelled to Pembroke to take on two Deep River teams in four games that were dominated by the good play of the Renfrew squads. The Gary Smith rink with Don Armitage, Peter Price and Bernie Leclaire; and the team of Brian Yolkowskie, in his first Low Cup action, Dave Eady, Yvonne and Andy Sklepowicz won all four games by controlling play from start to finish and giving Renfrew a large lead in the standings. Yvonne, sparing for the lads, had two strong games and would be a welcome addition if she is needed again. In further first draw results, the Friday night mixed team of Bill

R0082957843

Bowles, Gus Woito, Barb Roy and Louise Jamieson went undefeated to take first place, while Mitch Desilets’ Colton Lake crew drew ahead at the end to lead the Community League standings. In a warm-up to the Masters playdowns, Rob Warren, Don Rouble, Jim Berg and Andy Humphries took part in the Navy spiel and came away 1-and-2. In game 1 they gave up threeand four-enders to lose 8-4 to Bruce Delaney. In game 2, they trailed 2-0 after two but scored 10 points in the next three ends to defeat Norm Clement (Navan). In game 3 they were up one without hammer but lost 6-5 to Ed Warren (Carleton Heights). And finally, come out this weekend to view some great curling at Renfrew’s Wall-2-Wall Curling cash spiel.

Continued from Page 34

Officials are hoping to eventually raise around $100,000 and hope to access Ontario Trillium Foundation funds to round out the campaign. Sharpe outlined various ways to support the campaign, including regular annual or monthly installments over the next three years. Guest speaker Dave Smith spoke about his own success in fundraising and community support, including the creation of the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre in Ottawa. Smith announced he would be making a donation to the campaign. “I will put my money where my mouth is. We’re investing in the community,” he said. “We’re making a difference, it’s so important.” The curling club encourages and promotes healthy activity and social interaction, providing a valuable service to the community. A variety of fundraising activities are also ongoing at the club.

sPORTS

Sports - The Renfrew Timberwolves have opened a six-point lead over the Stittsville Rams in their battle for first place in the Valley Division of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League. The Wolves outlasted the Arnprior Packers in an old-fashioned barnburner 5-4 at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior Friday night. On Saturday afternoon as part of a five-game Metro-Valley showcase, the Wolves turned back the Gatineau Mustangs 4-2 at the Barbara Ann Scott Arena in Ottawa. The wins give the Renfrew club a 174-and-1 record, third best in the entire league, and best in the Metro-Valley Conference. Wolves 5, Arnprior 4

Cole Allard snapped home the winning marker 3:06 into overtime to lift the Wolves past Arnprior. Defenceman Alex Campbell earned an assist on the game winner. Campbell thought his night was done when he received a roughing minor and

10-minute misconduct with 11:23 left in the third period. But as the game entered overtime, he threw his hockey equipment back on, and arrived on the scene in time to setup the game winner. It was the only time in the game that the Wolves led. They trailed four times, and tied the game four times. Scott Conroy notched a pair of Renfrew goals. Jacob Collins and Jon Rosein pegged singles. Rosein’s powerplay marker with 1:53 remaining in the third period forced overtime. Colin Bradbury and defenceman Lyle Stressman collected two assists. Liam Killeen and Luc Deschamps had two goals each for Arnprior. Matt Gagne earned the goaltending victory on 24 saves. Dominic Plaschy made 34 stops for the Packers. The game had a playoff-like atmosphere, and neither team surrendered any ground. Wolves 4, Gatineau 2

Lucas Gonu spread a hat trick out over the three periods with a goal in each, and the Wolves went on to double

the Metro loop’s Gatineau Mustangs 42 Saturday. Gonu’s third goal on a quick shot to the upper left-hand corner with 1:56 remaining sealed the victory. Luke Lapierre returned from an injury and broke a 1-1 deadlock 14:23 into the first period to put the Wolves ahead for keeps. Scott Conroy and Colin Bradbury added two assists. The Wolves led 2-1 after 20 minutes, and 3-1 heading into the final stanza. Maxime Belley kept his team close with both Gatineau goals Gagne blocked 24 stops for the second game in a row to register his second triumph in about 20 hours. The Wolves sent 35 shots the way of Gatineau’s Louis-Andre Jalbert. Wolves howlings

Referees must have been put on some red alert on the weekend. On Friday night in Arnprior, Wolves defenceman Teddy Suckow and Arnprior’s Corey Drisdelle were tossed from the game in the opening period for what the referee deemed a “soft fight.” Both players threw one punch with

their gloves on, and then held onto each other, waiting for the linesmen to break it up, only to learn that their night was over. The call baffled both teams. A number of 10-minute misconducts brought the penalty-minute total to 128. On Saturday, a skirmish in the second period netted three players from each team fighting majors and game misconducts. In the end, the teams racked up well over 200 penalty minutes, although it shouldn’t have been anywhere close to that. upcoming

The Wolves have a rare five-game home stand throughout December. It starts with two games this weekend. On Friday, the Pontiac Juniors supply the opposition at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. Game time is 8 p.m. The Wolves also have a home contest Saturday afternoon following the Santa Claus Parade. The Ottawa Junior Canadians are in town at 3 p.m. It’s the rescheduling of a game postponed from Thanksgiving weekend.

RCI honoured at Student Leadership Conference Patti Dillabough

News – The Renfrew Collegiate Institute committee was presented with a special award by the Canadian Cancer Society at the Ontario Student Leadership Conference in Niagara Falls. Mike and Liz Wright, the two RCI teachers leading the committee since its inauguration in 2007, along with Cheryl Barber and Sam Noack, were on hand with nine current Relay for Life Committee members to receive the coveted award formally recognizing Renfrew Collegiate Institute as the top fundraising school for the Canadian Cancer Society’s youth Relay for Life initiative for the province of Ontario.

RCI has raised an outstanding $686,420 since 2007. It’s an incredible accomplishment for one of the smallest schools participating in Ontario’s Relay for Life Youth initiative. The Ontario Student Leadership conference held in Niagara Falls was attended by over 3000 leadership students and directors. The future leaders of tomorrow attended a variety of motivational seminars, workshops and brainstorming sessions to enhance their leadership skills and provide them with a unique opportunity to share ideas with other schools from throughout the province. The RCI Relay for Life committee inspired many of the schools in atten-

dance to “up their game” and work harder to take the coveted top fundraising designation from the small but enthusiastic school. The Renfrew County School Board, students of RCI and the community at large should be extremely proud of RCI’s top fundraising designation. It just goes to show that amazing things can be accomplished by a motivated, determined and inspired group from a small community if they have heart, leadership and local support. Congratulations to RCI, Mike and Liz Wright and the many RCI students, current and alumni that have contributed to this award. Go, Raiders, Go! See you at Relay for Life in May 2015!

RCI students visit lab at University of Ottawa

Report From Parliament:

Tony Ferguson Raider Review

Students from Renfrew Collegiate Institute travelled to the University of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gross Anatomy Lab Nov. 24 to examine cadavers. Students from an emergency services class, along with several other students who are enrolled in the specialist high skills major program, visited the lab where different stations featured different corpses for exploration. One body exposed upper and lower limbs and all of the muscle tissue. Another allowed them to explore the abdominal cavity and associated organs. A third was an open thoracic cavity where the heart and lungs could be examined along with several other hearts available for detailed examination. Other stations included spinal columns, brains and other anatomical structures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The med students were very knowledgeable and made the experience even better,â&#x20AC;? said student Amy Raycroft. The RCI students were also fortunate enough to attend lectures by two of the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renowned aca-

It was an excellent excursion and an experience that will last a lifetime for the students. Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Note: A production error in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Renfrew Mercury caused the first name to be dropped from a winner of the 2014 Legion Remembrance Day contest. The article should have read: The senior poem category, first place winner was Leyalee Alsaadi. The Mercury apologizes for the error.

We believe that a prosperous economy, a vigorous society and a healthy environment complement one another. When we became the Government of Canada, our Prime Minister refused to follow the old policies of the previous government that used â&#x20AC;&#x153;junk scienceâ&#x20AC;? on the environment. They signed an international agreement with no plan, that would have resulted in the loss of tens of thousands of jobs. In the economic downturn we just passed, countries that implemented junk science policies on the environment suffered. Canada, it is recognized, weathered the recession better than any other modern economy. Canada accounts for less than 2% of global Green House Gas (GHG) emissions and has one of the cleanest electricity systems in the world â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with nearly 80% of our energy coming from nonemitting sources. By comparison, the U.S. and China account for 39% of global GHG emissions. In 2012, greenhouse gas emissions in Canada were 5.1% lower than 2005 levels, while the economy grew by 10.6% during the same period. Percapita carbon emissions in Canada have fallen to their lowest level since tracking began. The first 21 years of our new coal regulations are expected to result in a cumulative reduction in GHG emissions of about 214 megatons, equivalent to removing some 2.6 million personal vehicles from the road per year over this period. If someone would like to know what a job-killing carbon tax looks like in Canada, look no further than the â&#x20AC;&#x153;global adjustment,â&#x20AC;? (GA) line on an electricity bill from provinciallyowned public utility Hydro One. It is now estimated, that 80% or more of a residential electricity bill is a carbon-type tax on consumers, forcing them to pay for â&#x20AC;&#x153;green ideologyâ&#x20AC;? schemes that create more energy poverty among our seniors and others on fixed incomes with each scheduled rate increase. Worst of all, these energy schemes do nothing to help the environment. Canada has an intelligent policy on the environment, one based on jobs, growth and respect for the taxpayer. A new tax on everything, whatever the Opposition in Ottawa end up calling it, is absolutely the wrong thing for Canada today. As your Federal Member of Parliament, I am pleased to represent you on a variety of issues. Whether that issue is promoting agriculture, international trade, Canadian Unity, AECL, the military or jobs in the working forest, I am here to serve you! As always, if you have any concerns of a federal nature, or just want to share your views with me, please do not hesitate to contact my office.

Mary Cook’s Memories

and they began loading everything into the cavity that looked to me like it could hold two full-grown heifers. And then our sleigh was empty! The look of sheer joy on Mother’s face was something to behold. Father, who rarely showed emotion of any kind, kept say, ‘well, by golly...well, by golly’, as he lit and relit his pipe. Emerson and Everett were sent to the drive shed for the cutter and the horses, and my dream of a full day in Renfrew evaporated before my eyes. There would be no trip to the Chinese restaurant where we brazenly ate our bagged lunches, and didn’t spend a cent. No stop at the bathrooms at the CPR station, and certainly no visit to the Five and Dime Store to look over the array of toys. Although Mother and Father couldn’t believe their good fortune, with their pockets and change purse bulging at the seams, we five kids felt we had been done out of a day of excitement, all because three fat men wearing white coats cleared our sleigh with one fell swoop. Turkey Fair Day was over for another year. Mother could see our disappointment, and when the big sleigh turned into Briscoe’s General Store at Northcote, she made up for it, giving us each a nickel to buy what we wanted. Emerson headed for the licorice pipes, the others bought hard Christmas candy. I asked Mr. Briscoe to cut me off a couple slices of bologna, which I ate before we hit the cutter, so the day wasn’t a total loss after all.

Lifestyle - Going into Renfrew every Saturday for a couple hours while Mother delivered her wares and shopped for her weekly supplies was excitement enough. Going into Renfrew for an entire day was pure rapture. Imagine! A whole day from early morning until the big clock in the centre of town told us it was time to head back out to Northcote. This only happened once a year, however. That was the day, usually in early December, when Turkey Fair Day rolled around. The excitement out on the farm would be at feverpitch for days. And the night before, I was sure Mother and Father never even bothered going to bed. Chickens, turkeys, and a few geese would have to be ready. That meant making sure there wasn’t a feather in sight, the legs trussed up with string, and the necks tucked under. Fresh butter wrapped in wax paper, and Mother’s famous sticky buns sitting on pieces of square cardboard would be added to the fowl, in the hopes of earning a few extra dollars. Before we children went to bed, we saw Father hitch up the team and bring the big flat-bottomed sleigh to the kitchen door, to cut down on the time needed to get an early start into Renfrew the next morning. My sister Audrey had made sandwiches and packed them in separate brown paper bags with a couple oatmeal cookies, which would be our lunch,

Social networking safety presentation Dec. 9 peter.clark@metroland.com

News - Does your child have an ipod, ipad, iphone or android? Does he or she have access to social networks, the Internet, or plays Xbox or Playstation? If so, then attending a free 90minute presentation at St. Joseph’s High School Tuesday, Dec. 9 at 7 p.m. is in your best interest. Paul Davis of Social Networking Safety will be speaking on just what the name of his company suggests, educating children and empowering parents on the topic of social networking safety. Davis will be addressing students of St. Joseph’s High School in the morning, and Renfrew Collegiate students in the afternoon. His evening presentation will be open to the public in the St. Joseph’s auditorium at 7 p.m. “We’ve scheduled 90 minutes for it. He can fit a lot of information into that 90 minutes,” Renfrew OPP community relations officer Janice Sawbridge said of Davis’s presentation. “He’s a real expect on this stuff.

He worked in IT (information technology) and on computers for over 25 years. He just saw the need for young people to be educated, and parents as well,” Sawbridge said, “Young people are really embracing this technology, and they understand it really well. “A lot of parents don’t, but they aren’t trying to find out more and they don’t see how their kids can get into trouble online, so that’s why we really want parents to come as well.” Davis has made his presentation all over Canada and the United States, and has spoken to more than 175,000 students over the past four years. “If your child has an iphone, or a cell phone of any type, or plays games online or anything like that, you need to come to this and hear what he has to say,” Const. Sawbridge added.

Consumers prefer print flyers

News - A new survey commissioned by Metroland Media suggests that a significant majority of Ontario consumers (97 per cent of those surveyed) continue to rely on flyers for making purchasing decisions.  The study, produced by BrandSpark International, also indicated that, despite many marketers feeling pressure to move to digital advertising and online flyer options, many consumers still look to print for information about shopping, even among younger demographics. The consumers who participated in the online survey read grocery, mass merchant and drug store flyers on a regular basis and said that they consider print flyers more valuable than online or email by a significant margin. “Despite the trend toward online forms of advertising and marketing to consumers, we heard directly from Ontario consumers that they rely on print flyers more than any other medium when looking for deals, gift ideas and making a purchase,” said Ian Oliver, president of Metroland Media. “The value in print flyer advertising is real and the research indicates that many consumers view print flyers as indispensable.” SURVEY HIGHLIGHTS

• 97 per cent read flyers (only 3% report “never” reading flyers) • 94 per cent of grocery consumers and 88% of mass merchant consumers read flyers • 73% of consumers use flyers to learn about new products

• Consumers spend more time reading print flyers compared to online and email flyers MAXIMIZING VALUE

Print flyers remain strong as a source for identifying sales, maximizing value and finding new products. For example, survey results suggest that consumers look to print flyer advertising significantly more than store websites to research information, including what deals are happening (3.3 times more), comparing price and value options (twice as much), researching the range of products available (1.6 times more) and researching which stores carry a product (1.6 times more).

FLYERS DRIVE WEB TRAFFIC AND STORE VISITS

Consumers surveyed told Metroland that flyers allow them to discover new products, and 71 per cent of consumers surveyed say they are more likely to visit a retailer that sends them flyers.   Additionally, 72 per cent say that flyers impact their purchase decisions, and more than half say that flyers are a valuable part of their life.  More than half (51 per cent) have visited a store’s website after reading a flyer. BrandSpark surveyed 1,814 retail shoppers living in Ontario between June 17 and June 27. Calculated scores have a margin of error of plus or minus 2.3 per cent, 19 times out of 20.

Renfrew will have an almost entirely new look around the table when council reconvenes Dec. 10. For outgoing mayor Bill Ringrose and councillors Tom Anderson, Jim Miller, Gail Cole and Clint McWhirter, the Nov. 24 session of council was their last night of duty. It also ended the municipal politics career of reeve Audrey Green, who sent her regrets and thanks as she was unable to attend the meeting. Mayor Ringrose thanked council and staff for their support over his 17 years as both mayor and councillor. Ringrose also congratulated Andrew Evans, the only member of council who will return for the next four-year term. Evans will join Mayor Don Eady, Reeve Peter Emon, and Mike Coulas, Tom Sidney, Arlene Jamieson and Kate Windle on Renfrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Four years have gone by very, very fast,â&#x20AC;? Ringrose said. He said council should feel pride in the range of issues they addressed. Ringrose said the first issue right off the bat was a huge one â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the pool and second ice pad. He said a lot of people in town were for, and a lot were against, the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We made a decision, a decision that we could not afford it. We did not go forward with it, and I have to say, you made the correct decision,â&#x20AC;? he told council. On the financial front, Ringrose said the debt Renfrew faces is good debt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only debt the Town of Renfrew has is to do with the infrastructure at the water plant, and the waste water plant.â&#x20AC;? The town paid one third of the project, in partnership with the provincial and federal governments who picked up one third each. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Collectively, those two projects cost about $45 million, and our share was about $15 million,â&#x20AC;? Ringrose said. That got financed early into longterm debt. The town has managed to

pay off about a half million in debt year after year, and now the debt is down to about $12 million, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There has been no new debt. The ladder truck was not bought with debt; was not bought with taxation. Reserves were used. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Council was quite clear, they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do anything to add to the debt,â&#x20AC;? he said. As for advice for the new council, Ringrose said they will find out at the start, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the discretion theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to have. He said councils are children of the province, and therefore, the provincial government sets the rules and constraints. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully, like any other group, they (council) will try and do things in the long-term sense, what is best for all of the community.â&#x20AC;? Renfrew doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to battle the policing costs that neighbouring municipalities face, Ringrose added â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a little bit different situation, so the OPP cost doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put an additional pressure on taxation,â&#x20AC;? the outgoing mayor said. He said roads are always a priority for residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People really want to do more on the roads, and it appears we are going to get more provincial help. It also means more local money. So you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t improve the roads and not increase taxation, but we need to do it in balance,â&#x20AC;? Ringrose added. As the only returning town councillor, Andrew Evans said he is both exited and eager to work with a completely new town council â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prior to the election, I was extremely pleased that both Don (Eady) and Peter (Emon) and several other newly-elected council members took a moment of their time during a busy campaign to meet and discuss their own vision of the town with me,â&#x20AC;? Coun. Evans said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This simple act of communication demonstrates that this team of newlyelected council is ready, willing and able to discuss and plan the future direction and operation of our town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I foresee better days for this town and I look forward to meeting the challenges that lay ahead for us.â&#x20AC;?

Thank you everyone for supporting us!

Community Seven full tables competed in duplicate bridge at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre Wednesday, Nov. 26. The Flannery convention intrigued players in the pre-game Chalk Talk. Carol Sulpher clearly laid out its advantages and provided a valuable handout. Future Chalk Talks will urge the adoption of various rules in duplicate bridge: the Rule of Seven, Eleven, and Twenty, for example. Again this week, small slams ruled the day. Carol and Dave Sulpher brought home a six notrump contract. Bidding six spades and making seven were Ursula Endicott and Janet Osborne, Sheila Perras and Rick Duncan, and the team of Eleanor Hotchkiss and Leo Coulas. Rounding out the small slam action were six hearts contracts by Diane Gilman and Gwen Latendresse, as well as Gillian and Mac Wilson. Congratulations to the following winners:

• NorthSouth – 1st,Ruth Grant and Mary McCann; 2nd,

Don’t invite disaster to your holiday celebrations From the Fire Prevention Office Renfrew Fire Department

New - ‘Tis the season to be jolly, as the holiday standard goes. In many homes, this means a log on the fire, and a trimmed Christmas tree glowing brightly. All these signs of the season bring feelings of comfort and joy to families. But what you may not realize is that they also bring an increased risk of fire in the home. We have personally witnessed homes destroyed by fire during the holiday season and seeing this devastation firsthand is truly heartbreaking. Don’t invite disaster to your holiday celebrations. By recognizing holiday fire hazards and using a little extra caution, you can help keep your home full of comfort and joy. When decking the halls, choose decorations that are flame resistant or flame retardant and keep them away from candles or any other heat source. Use clips, not nails, to hang lights so the cords do not get damaged. Consumers should only use lights that have a UL/CSA-approved label, and ensure they are designed for their intended use (indoor or outdoor) Read manufacturer’s instructions for the number of light strands you can connect in sequence.

Replace any light sets with worn or broken cords or loose bulb connections. Electrical fires are more prevalent this time of year due to overloaded circuits and faulty lighting and extension cords. When decorating, how many of us pull out those old light sets or cords, look at them for a moment, and think to ourselves, ‘I should replace these relics. Ah, I’ll do it next year.’ Will you and your family be decorating a real Christmas tree this holiday season? If so here are some very important safety tips to follow. Start by choosing a tree with fresh, green needles that do not fall off when touched. Always make sure the tree is at least three feet away from any heat source, like a fireplaces, radiators, candles, heat vents or light fixtures. Here is a great tip. Before putting your tree into the stand, cut at least one foot off the base, as this allows the tree to absorb more water. Real trees require a large amount of water to keep them fresh, so add water daily. Remember, blocking an exit is not a good idea. We could tell you to never use candles on a tree, but let’s assume no one does this anymore. Get rid of the tree after Christmas or when it is dry. Dried-out trees are a fire hazard and should not be left in the home or garage, or

REFUND

placed outside against the home. Check with the municipal office regarding a Christmas tree recycling program. Everyone loves candles, but joyful ambiance can turn into tragedy in an instant. All lit candles should be in a safe sturdy holder and always supervised by an adult. Lit candles should not be placed in windows where a blind or curtain could catch fire. Remember to blow out all candles when you leave the room or go to bed. The crackle and glow of an open fire makes the holiday season all the more special. Make sure that your fireplace has a sturdy screen and keep your children three feet away. Have your chimney cleaned regularly and dispose of ashes in a metal container far away from the home. Lastly, even after your best efforts, should a fire occur, a working smoke alarm on every level will ensure that you and your family will get out safely. We know that the holidays are a hectic time of year for all of Renfrew’s residents. Please help the Renfrew Fire Department keep our community safe from fire this season. Our holiday wish is for all of the Renfrew’s residents to have a merry, bright and safe holiday season. Merry Christmas from all of us at The Renfrew Fire Department.

The The Renfrew Mercury published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

Aries, expect to be called into action several times this week. You may prefer to avoid the spotlight, but that won’t be the case this week. Make the most of this opportunity.

Libra, although it’s noble to offer assistance to everyone you meet, you may be struggling to take care of yourself in the process. You must put your needs first.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Taurus, all of a sudden you are so busy it can be difficult to find a few moments to rest. Thankfully, you are able to keep up with all of the activity.

A desire to detach from others and be entirely self-sufficient can have some challenges, Scorpio. You don’t need to give up independence to have the support of others.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Gemini, seek advice from a trusted confidante as you contemplate a major lifestyle change. This person will provide valuable insight as you look to make the best decision possible.

Sagittarius, your energy levels are high and there is nothing you can’t accomplish this week. Avoid extra caffeine because you’re already buzzing.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Cancer, going solo on a project may not seem like the ideal situation. But you don’t want to be distracted this week, so going it alone is the best way to tackle the tasks at hand.

Find a balance between caution and carelessness, Capricorn. You cannot control every situation, and this week you may have something unexpected come your way.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Leo, following your gut may not always work out, but this week everything works out for the best. Curb impulsiveness as much as you can, though.

Aquarius, if you’re on the lookout for new work opportunities, look no further than your own supervisor for guidance. He or she may be your biggest ally.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Virgo, although you might be dreaming of a lavish vacation and an escape from the daily grind, it’s just not possible at this time. Start saving for this dream excursion.

You have boundless creativity, Pisces, and this week you get to channel it into a special project. Don’t overextend yourself until everything gets done.

You compared numerous listings online for a ‘fixer upper’. And managed NOT to be outbid on a great home. Why not compare home insurance rates online, too? At ComparaSave.com you can compare and save on rates for car, home and travel insurance, plus mortgages and credit cards. From Canada’s top financial institutions. All in one place.
