Elementary teachers withdraw support for extracurriculars Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Wrestlers met on the mats in Renfrew for a major tournament on the weekend. – Page 25 –

Resistance to the passing of Bill 115 is mounting. As of Monday (Dec. 3), about 400 teachers withdrew support of extracurricular activities at all 24 elementary schools in the Renfrew County District School Board. The Dec. 3 action by the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario (ETFO) means the teachers wonĘźt participate in school meetings, professional development, provincial assessments, administrative duties, or extracurricular activities, including ďŹ eld trips. Similar sanctions will be initiated Dec. 10, when secondary-school

teachers in most of OntarioĘźs public school boards withdraw involvement in extracurricular activities and restrict their work days. Arnprior District High School athletic director Phil Moore said the dispute means all high school sports will be put on hold Monday “for the foreseeable future.â€? That means the basketball and volleyball games this week at Renfrew Collegiate Institute will be the last ones played until the teachersĘź sanctions end and there will be no Sunday RCI Christmas band concert this year. Allison Ryan, president of the Renfrew County local of ETFO, says the work action initiated Dec. 3 is in response to Education Minister Laurel BrotenĘźs shutting down of a negotiation session with ETFO Nov. 11. Ryan says Broten not only shut down the session, but then misrepresented the nature of the session to the

media. “Ultimately, itĘźs a response to Bill 115 and taking away our ability to freely negotiate a contract with our employer,â€? said Ryan. The provincial bill – the Putting Students First Act – was passed Sept. 11, 2012. ETFOĘźs online petition to repeal it says Bill 115 “strips education professionals of their right to collectively bargain, and places the government above the reach of the Ontario Human Rights Code, the Ontario Labour Relations Act, and the courts. It sets a dangerous precedent.â€? Bill 115 freezes the teachersĘź wage grid, sharply reduces the number of annual sick days, eliminates the payout from banking more than 200 sick days, and gives the education minister the right to intervene in collective bargaining. Elementary teachers, in the local public board, have been without a con-

tract since Aug. 31, 2012. The teachers had a four-year contract, but Ryan says the education ministry is pursuing a two-year contract this time. If local agreements are not settled by Dec. 31, 2012, the Minister of Education is in position to impose agreements. ETFO has also informed the public school board it plans a one-day walkout across the province. ETFO will provide 72 hoursĘź notice. In response, the Renfrew County District School board has placed an update on its website from director of education Roger Clarke. The board also dispatched a similar phone message to studentsĘź parents and guardians Dec. 3. Clarke says the parents should make appropriate childcare arrangements, since the board would close its schools the day of the walkout. See TEACHERS, Page 6

The Vern Yemen Memorial Nativity Scene was lit Sunday night in Renfrew’s Low Square. The holiday tradition – initiated by Yemen and Kelly Hunt – is designed to remind people of the true meaning of Christmas. Above left, singing O Come Little Children, are Thomas, Payton and Alexa Narezny. At right, Ocean and Payton Yemen were on hand to see their grandmother Dorothy Yemen give the go-ahead to light the scene. After the ceremony, the Salvation Army served cookies and hot chocolate on Railway Avenue. Renfrew Councillor Jim Miller brought greetings on behalf of council, Diana Wakely emceed and Rev. Chris Holmes and Rev. Susan Tough presided. Citizens holding candles, who created a living tree tribute to God’s many gifts, were Caroline Graham, Mary Brimner, Dorothy Ingleby, Marlene Lavallee, Cathy and Keith McCaig, Gerald Adamson, Brenda and Frank Folkema and Gail Cole. The evening’s music was by Jeanette Wall and her husband Jim who said the Nativity Scene is “a personal experience that we’ve had in our lives that means so much” and that “brings peace and joy.” He also praises its inclusiveness.

For the second straight season, the social services department has won the Wellness Cup Challenge, a healthyworkplace competition among the County of Renfrewʼs nine departments. Points were collected for doing healthy and health-related activities in October, which is earmarked as Canadaʼs Healthy Workplace Month. The focus this year was on treating mental fitness on the same plane as physical fitness. As a result, social servicesʼ involvement included a football tire throw in recognition of Bipolar Disorder Awareness Day Oct. 9 and World Mental Health Day Oct. 10. The $530 raised will benefit youth mental health programming. Social services director Dave Anderson had promised that the department employees would be enthusiastic in defending their title. After its successful defence, team member and Ontario Works manager Chery Leigh said, “Our staff is very enthusiastic and we love a challenge. And itʼs the right thing to do, because itʼs all about health and wellness.”

Ontario Liberal Leadership candidate Dr. Eric HoskinsĘź recently announced rural policy to extend gas tax rebates to all Ontario municipalities if he becomes Premier should be met with a healthy dose of skepticism, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski said Monday. Yakabuski is very familiar with the proposed policy, having introduced several Private MembersĘź Bills aimed at introducing fairness to the distribution of gas tax revenues, most recently on April 5. Currently, the Gasoline Tax Act only permits those municipalities that have a rapid

transit or public transportation system to seek a tax rebate. Yakabuski has been advocating for years to amend the Act to ensure all municipalities share in a portion of the gas tax they pay by making all municipalities eligible to receive a rebate from the provincial government. “Eric Hoskins had an opportunity to support my Bill in April but instead chose to tow the Liberal party line,� said Yakabuski. “For him to turn around and try to champion a policy that he voted against in an attempt to buy rural votes stinks of political opportunism.�

R0011786815_1206

MPP scoffs at Liberal leadership hopeful’s gas tax flip-flop Yakabuski noted that HoskinsĘź credibility on the issue of gas tax fairness is further weakened by the fact that both of the Liberal MPPs endorsing Hoskins for Liberal party leader, Tracey MacCharles (Pickering-Scarborough East) and Amrit Mangat (Mississauga-Brampton South), also voted against the Bill. “This cynical move carries on the McGuinty Liberal tradition of saying one thing to get elected, and then doing the opposite once in government,â€? said Yakabuski. “Their abysmal treatment of rural Ontario is a prime example of that.â€?

With the ongoing development of the Hunter Gate subdivision behind No Frills grocery store, there will be a growing demand to accommodate higher-volume traffic in and around OʼBrien Road. Traffic projections predict undue congestion if OʼBrien Road remains Renfrewʼs only connecting link to Highway 17 in the next few years. Therefore staff has recommended a particular collector route that, if approved, would result in an extension of Hall Avenue (where it crosses Gillan Road) through to Wrangler Road, just opposite Innovation Drive. The collector road would continue by crossing OʼBrien Road to Innovation Drive. Innovation Drive would then be connected to Whitton Road, closer to the

Teachers Continued from front

The OSSTFʼs newest sanctions, which start Dec. 10, will result in teachers arriving at school about 15 minutes before the start of classes and leaving school right after the last class. This will apply for the local boardʼs seven high schools and several other alternatives schools in such communities as Arnprior, Renfrew and Barryʼs Bay. In mid November, the OSSTF initiated milder sanctions, by withdrawing supervisory services for students. This has

highway. A study showed there would be a significant advantage to extending Hall Avenue as a collector road through the Hunter Gate subdivision. Asselin says the proposed alignment is the most logical route, partly because it would go over an historic crossing that is also the narrowest route over a local ravine. However, provincial regulations still require an environmental assessment for a collector-road designation, says development and works director Mike Asselin. At town councilʼs Nov. 26 meeting, the work for phases one and two of the environmental assessment were awarded to Bytown Engineering (BTE) for $50,375, plus HST, for a total of $56,923. The next closest tender totalled $67,282. The environmental assessment starts this fall and is expected to be completed in the spring of 2013.

required the local public board to use current and retired administrators, and volunteers, to handle supervisory duties. The new sanctions affect early childhood educators, occasional teachers and office managers, for a total of about 350 members with OSSTFʼs Local 28. Jeff Barber, president of Local 28, suggests the stalemate with Minister Laurel Broten could be over sooner than later.“We agreed to a wage freeze back in April,” said Barber. “If thatʼs all she needs, then we donʼt need Bill 115.”

Meanwhile, local Roman Catholic school board teachers are not pursuing sanctions in the workplace. This is because the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association signed a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Education on July 5, 2012, prior to the introduction of Bill 115. At the same time, OECTA Renfrew (County) unit president Mike Silmser says, “OECTA certainly does not agree with those parts of Bill 115 that strip away collective bargaining rights from union-

ized workers.” ETFO members may also be conducting a one-day political protest across the province. They will do so if they vote 50 per cent or more in favour of such a protest. The protest will only happen, says Ryan, if the education minister imposes an agreement following the Dec. 31, 2012 deadline for agreements (as stated in Bill 115), or if the minister ends a legal strike by using provisions of Bill 115. The voting deadline for its 76,000 members was Dec. 4. Results be available shortly.

6 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, December 6, 2012

Asselin told council the environmental assessment is a mechanism to allow the town to consult with the public, to consider alternatives, and to ensure if the proposed location of the collector route is the best choice while considering environmental and social issues. The environmental assessment process consists of five phases, starting with planning and establishment of the collector roadʼs alignment. Tenders received for the entire environmental assessment in 2011 ranged from $100,000 to $190,000. Those amounts exceeded the townʼs project budget at the time. Financing for phases three, four and five of the Hall Avenue extensionʼs environmental assessment will have to be accommodated in future budgets. The final design and construction would take place as part of those phases.

Workshop summarizes operating costs for $18 million facility Steve Newman

steve.newman@metroland.com

Now town council has a much better picture of what the operating and capital costs will be for RenfrewĘźs proposed swimming pool and second ice pad. A two-and-a-half-hour workshop Nov. 28 provided several answers or clariďŹ cations for council, town staff, and members of the pool and second ice pad groups. More than 30 people attended the workshop in the council chambers. The workshop was preparation for the Tuesday, Dec. 11 public meeting that will summarize capital costs and expected operating costs, and ďŹ eld questions and observations from the public. The key speaker at the Nov. 28 meeting was recreational facilities specialist John Frit-

tenberg, who is president of The JF Group. He may also attend the Dec. 11 meeting. If he doesnĘźt, Mayor Bill Ringrose and recreation director Barclay Mayhew are expected to summarize his analysis of operating costs. The new facilityĘźs operating costs could ultimately cause council to decide not to construct the proposed facility any time soon, especially if Ringrose is correct in saying the town will probably be hard-pressed to absorb total annual operating costs for a pool and second ice pad. The mayor says capital costs appear more manage-

able, assuming that provincial and federal funding would cover $12 million of the estimated total construction cost of $18.3 million. Based on the townĘźs debtcarrying capacity and a certain assumed contribution from taxes, Ringrose says the town could afford up to $4 million of its $6-million share. The other $2 million would have to be raised by the user groups representing the pool and the second ice pad. Can the town come up with $4 million? Yes, but it will be no walk in the park, says the mayor. “It will be tight.â€? He has bigger concerns

costs for the second ice pad, and the town would be responsible for absorbing more than $525,000 in total operating costs each year. In 10 years, the townĘźs ability to absorb those costs could improve, given the townĘźs anticipated income from solar, the Innovation Centre and waterpower generation, says Ringrose. But given present circumstances, the mayor adds, “ItĘźs beyond our ability to cover those types of costs at this time.â€? The Dec. 11 public meeting starts at 7 p.m. in the Argyle Street Renfrew Recreation Centre.

Public works indecision in Horton

Two years ago, when the current four-year municipal term began, Horton Mayor Don Eady promised Bob Kingsbury that the veteran councillor would succeed new public works committee chairman Glen Campbell half-way through the term. But since Campbell is considered to be handling the position just ďŹ ne, Eady announced at the Dec. 3 meeting of Horton council that Kingsbury would be joining the public works committee, but not as chairman. Coun. Margaret Whyte, who said she knew nothing about EadyĘźs promise, said she had some concerns, and that more discussion was needed. Eady and fellow council members expressed the opinion at the beginning of the term that there should be no more than two council members on each committee. Most committees now consist of two council members and members of the public. Kingsbury said Campbell is doing a “fantastic jobâ€? as chairman, but that his addition would bring seven years experience on past public works committees. The public works committee, which includes two members of the public, also includes Eady and Campbell. “IĘźm not in favour of three council members on one committee, but the sawoff is IĘźm appointing Bob Kingsbury (to public works) for the balance of the term.â€? Later in the meeting, Eady said he “made a mistakeâ€? by not notifying all council members of his intentions. KingsburyĘźs potential appointment will be discussed at the Dec. 17 committee-of-thewhole meeting.

make a proďŹ t each year. If the second ice pad was booked 75 per cent of the time, the town would break even on the second ice surface, predicted Frittenberg. If the new rink was booked half the time, the town would lose about $40,000 on the second surface. The poolĘźs operating costs are much steeper. Expected revenue for the ďŹ rst year is $166,000. Expected annual pool costs are $645,000, consisting of $437,000 in labour, $123,000 in utilities, and $85,000 in supplies and maintenance. This leaves a net cost of $478,000. Add a conservative estimate of $50,000 in

about expecting the user groups to raise $2 million. This might be just too big a burden, says Ringrose. He also notes a local fundraising group raised about $1 million for the current ice pad at MaTe-Way Activity Centre. Even if $2 million is raised, the mayor suggests the projected operating costs could become the major reason for not building the facility. Current operating costs are $246,000 for Ma-Te-WayĘźs ice surface. If the second ice pad was to be used 100 per cent of the time, which is thought to be unlikely, that rink would

OPINION EDITORIAL

Safe driving week reinforces important message Canadian National Safety Driving Week is Dec. 1 to 7, and as the week wraps up we are reminded of the importance of safety on our roads. According to a new release issued Tuesday, the Ontario Hospital Association would be joining safety advocates to encourage the provinceĘźs drivers to take extra precautions on the road in winter to reduce the risk of motor vehicle crashes. The Ontario Injury Data Report states that motor vehicle collisions resulted in over 130,000 emergency room visits, 8,100 hospitalizations

and 3,200 deaths in 2007-2009. The OHA notes that a 2011 University of Waterloo study revealed that winter motor-vehicle collisions in Ontario cost approximately $1 billion each year, with winter road maintenance accounting for an additional $1 billion annually “We all need to do our part to help stay safe and prevent additional strains on the health care system,� said OHA president and CEO, Pat Campbell. “Avoidable hospitalizations caused by winter driving collisions can have an enormous im-

pact on our health care system. Wait times can increase, hospital beds can be occupied for longer periods of time, and the cost ends up affecting all Ontarians.â€? The OHA is part of a coalition made up of the Ontario Safety League, Canadian Tire, the Rubber Association of Canada and CAA South Central Ontario, that works to promote road safety and supports research to further understand issues and best practices. The coalition and the TrafďŹ c Injury Research Foundation recently released Winter Tires:

A Review of Research on Effectiveness and Use, examining Canadian and international research on the beneďŹ ts of winter tires. While the study recognizes the value of properly using winter tires, itĘźs important to ensure overall vehicle preparedness and defensive driving techniques as aspects of safe winter driving. The OHA offers the following tips to help motorists stay safe on the roads this winter: • Install four matching winter tires.

• Get your battery, ignition system, lights and brakes tested. • Ensure your wipers are in good working condition. • Pack an emergency kit and winter windshield washer uid. • Practise winter driving techniques before you need them. • Check your tire pressure monthly. • Plan your trips ahead of time. As the busy holiday season unfolds, we urge you to drive with care. Your life and the lives of others depend on it.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

It’s time to replace the Indian Act To the editor: Hundreds of thousands First Nations people live in Canada and they deserve better than to be shackled by the failed colonial and paternalistic policies of the Indian Act, which has helped deny them their rights and fair share in resources, and fostered mistrust and created systemic barriers to self-determination and success. First Nations have been adamant that we need to move beyond it, yet the government has so far refused to get the ball rolling. The Indian Act is more than 136 years old and touches every aspect of life of First Nations. First Nations need the approval of the minister to pass bylaws. It puts so much

red tape around economic development that it often doesnĘźt happen. The Act is so intrusive on reserve residentsĘź lives that they cannot even write a will without the ministerĘźs approval. Yet, as Prime Minister Stephen Harper has rightly said, the Act has deep roots and cannot simply be abolished. For decades governments of all stripes have allowed this problem to fester. Now all parties have a chance to take real leadership on the problem. I have a motion before the House of Commons compelling the federal government to work with First Nations on a nation-to-nation basis on a plan to replace the Indian Act with modern agree-

ments based on rights, responsibilities of the Crown, and the original Treaty relationship. With a deadline and a process, we can ďŹ nally begin to resolve the many long-standing economic and social inequities that plague First Nations communities in Canada. Yet the Conservatives, including MP Cheryl Gallant, said they would vote against this progress by opposing the motion. They say they want to change the status quo, but once again, this is just words. We cannot continue to put this off. Please tell Mrs. Gallant to vote for change. Yours sincerely, Bob Rae Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada

Should make good use of trees To the editor: There is a hydro cut on Highway 132 not far south of Renfrew which is bristling with Christmas trees. Will some enterprising Renfrew person harvest these

and sell them in town so that trees donĘźt have to be trucked all the way from New Brunswick in December? I wonder if Hydro Ontario would object to the trees being harvested, since they come ev-

ery few years and waste them entirely. It seems the ecological and enterprising thing to do. Best wishes, Sandra Stephenson Denbigh

Warden’s Community Service Awards to Tracey, Stone and PAN-RC steve.newman@metroland.com

Gerald Tracey of Eganville, Reuben Stone of Cobden and members of the Physical Activity Network of Renfrew County were celebrated as the ďŹ rst winners of the WardenĘźs Community Service Awards. In chairing his ďŹ nal session of county council Nov. 28, outgoing Warden Bob Sweet presented the awards that recognize individuals, businesses and organizations that make important contributions to their communities. Tracey, who is perhaps best known as publisher of the Eganville Leader newspaper, received the individual service award for his tireless work as a community volunteer. Tracey, 59, said heĘźs been involved as a community volunteer since his early 20s, when he helped raise funds to send a Pikwakanagan citizen to Rome to meet the Pope. Over the years, he has been involved with numerous community projects, more recently as part of a 10-member committee to arrange support for Eganville middle-distance runner Melissa Bishop. These activities included a parade and homecoming after she competed at the 2012 Olympics in London. “It was a very emotional experience to be able to be part of MelissaĘźs dream,â€? Tracey told The Renfrew Mercury EMC. “It was a very hum-

bling experience for everyone on the committee.â€? Yet, Tracey says two particular projects stand out, as the most rewarding during his storied history as a community volunteer. One happened in the early 2000s when he helped raise money to buy a van for Round Lake resident Kevin Cybulski who was crippled in a logging accident. The other was his fundraising efforts, as committee vicechair, to help realize construction of the FairďŹ elds seniors residence in Eganville. “The pinnacle, the jewel of all jewels,â€? said Tracey, “was FairďŹ elds, and working with a dedicated group of people to build a home for seniors, to keep them in their community.â€? Tracey noted there are clearly many people deserving of the wardenĘźs individual community service award. “I appreciate that someone thought I was worthy. ItĘźs nice to be recognized, but I donĘźt do things to get recognized,â€? he said. “My philosophy is, if you canĘźt leave the world a better place than when you came into it, whatĘźs the point of being here. ItĘźs incumbent on everyone to leave something, to make the world a better place.â€? As a long-time volunteer, Tracey said he has enjoyed the project challenges and the opportunity to be surrounded by like-minded people.

In summarizing TraceyĘźs involvement, Renfrew County CAO Jim Hutton cited a list that included the Eganville centennial committee from 1988-91, fundraising for the St. James Catholic Church bell tower after the 1995 ďŹ re, and serving on the board of directors for the Renfrew-based Mackay Manor.

“HempĘźs an interesting crop. We have a captive and very-quickly growing market. The demand for hemp is expanding 50 per cent a year, and weĘźre looking to produce very high-quality food products, and ďŹ bre and energy all from the same acreage at the same time.â€? Stone says he hopes Bio Valley and fellow agriculturebased businesses continue to be “innovative and create a lot of new products to serve the community and Canadian society, and feed the world.â€?

BUSINESS SERVICE AWARD

The WardenĘźs Community Service Award for a business went to Reuben Stone of Valley Bio. Stone, who grew up in Micksburg and now lives in Cobden, runs one of OntarioĘźs fastest-growing industrial hemp businesses. StoneĘźs business also includes a seed and grain conditioning facility that opened last spring. He has also won the Upper Ottawa Valley Chamber of CommerceĘźs 2009 young entrepreneur award and the 2009 Ontario PremierĘźs Award for Agri-Food Innovation Excellence. CAP Hutton described Stone as a proud fourth-generation farmer in Lower Stafford who has “demonstrated a true commitment to preserving farming in the area, researching and planting different crops, and accessing national and international markets for grain and oil products to revitalize his family farm and develop his corporate business.â€? “I think weĘźre just getting

Reuben Stone, of Valley Bio, is the business recipient of the 2012 Warden’s Community Service Award. started, but itĘźs nice that this award has gone to an agricultural business in the county,â€? said Stone, 27. “I am a pretty staunch supporter of agriculture and what it can do economically for the area, and what we can develop here and value-add.â€? Valley BioĘźs products include non-traditional commodities. “We do everything from seed genetics ‌ all the way up to container exports (including gluten-free oats, buckwheat, rye and peas),â€? said Stone. Meanwhile, hemp remains a major focus of the business.

County to provide OVTA with sustainable funding Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Next lowest was next-door-neighbour Lanark County at $292,308, but with about 60 per cent of Renfrew CountyĘźs population. London was highest at $1.9 million. On a per-capita rate, Northumberland was highest at $4.87, with Lanark a close second at $4.45. The OVTA was lowest, at $2.36. Following the study, members of Renfrew County council, the Pembroke mayor and CAO, and the OVTA board of directors were asked for feedback. That feedback generated the recommendation that was supported by the countyĘźs development and property committee, and in turn approved by county council Nov. 28. See OVTA, page 12

The County of Renfrew will continue to ďŹ nancially support its own tourism marketing organization, the Ottawa Valley Tourist Association, but in a bigger way. From 2001 to 2010, the County funded OVTA to the tune of $170,000 a year, with no inationary stipend along the way. Added to that amount was $20,000 from the City of Pembroke. But it was realized by last year, when the OVTA requested special funding, to receive an extra $24,000 to meet its ďŹ nancial needs, that the status quo couldnĘźt continue. A 2012 study completed by economic development and OVTA staff echoed

those very sentiments. Entitled Review of County of Renfrew Contributions to Tourism Destination Marketing and the Ottawa Valley Tourist Association, the study says many things, including the fact that OVTA marketing of the county is invaluable to making a good ďŹ rst impression and attracting new investors and new residents to the area. The same study, which was presented to the development and property committee Oct. 9, also suggests the county is doing much less tourism marketing than other regions because of its limited budget. For the comparative regions of London, Kingston, Northumberland, Lanark County and Renfrew County, the countyĘźs OVTA had the lowest tourism budget, at $247,658.

The WardenĘźs Community Service Award for a not-forproďŹ t group went to the Physical Activity Network – Renfrew County. Founded in 2008, PAN-RC is a collaborative body whose 150 member individuals and organizations work together to improve access to physical

activity. “I hope the award increases public awareness around the importance of physical activity and improving the environment in the communities that we live in, so that everybody has access to healthier choices,â€? said Physical Activity Network chair Shawna Babcock. “The key pieces, in terms of success,â€? she said, “have been our collaborative development with the County of Renfrew and the Active Transportation Strategy, and also our work around accessibility for recreation, in the built and the natural environment, to make sure everyone is able to participate fully in physical activity.â€? Hard lobbying isnĘźt the goal, says Babcock, but rather working “with municipalities to support them, to ensure our roads, our recreation, our culture, our heritage, is always focused around building healthier communities.â€? 1122.R0011753896

RENFREW COUNTY

Accolades for longest-standing warden Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

It was ceremonial stuff, but the expressions of gratitude were genuine. In recognizing outgoing Renfrew County Warden Bob Sweet, who has served an unprecedented five terms in that office, county council gave him a brief standing ovation as he chaired his final meeting of Renfrew County council Nov. 28. Greater Madawaska Mayor Peter Emon and Admaston-Bromley Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe, who were the respective nominator and seconder for his last two terms, thanked Sweet for his quality of service and delivered an honorary gavel. Sweet later said the gavels he has received over the years are important symbols. He has given two to his children, and kept the others at his home in Petawawa. Emon said he was pleased to represent county council, by expressing words of gratitude, in recognition of “the efforts, time, leadership and the other skills that Warden Sweet brought to this job two years ago and demonstrated, and will demonstrate, through until 11 oʼclock on Dec. 11.” Dec. 11 is the date of the inaugural session when Emon will be sworn in as the new warden. Sweet also held consecutive one-year terms as warden in 2004, 2005 and 2006. “Weʼre all appreciative of him, his advice individually or for his recommendations to council,” said Emon. “I know I certainly have benefitted over the years from him and his expertise, in dealing with industry, in dealing with individuals and (working) in the community. “I know, from watching his interaction with the rest of you (county council), that he is sought on a regular basis, by you, for advice and for that leadership as well. We are very fortunate to have had him serve.

STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND

This honorary gavel goes to Bob Sweet, as he nears the end of his unprecedented fifth term as Renfrew County warden. He is joined by fellow county councillors Peter Emon of Greater Madawaska and Raye-Anne Briscoe of Admaston-Bromley during the Nov. 28 session of county council. “But as we said at the wardenʼs banquet, itʼs not as if heʼs dying. Heʼs going to be here two more years and heʼs still a tremendous asset to utilize and call upon. “Thank you on behalf of staff and county council and the ratepayers of Renfrew County for everything youʼve done for us,” he told Sweet. Briscoe, knowing he has been in municipal politics for about 25 years, thanked Sweet “ever so much for all the wonderful years of service.” In response, Warden Sweet said, “It has been an absolute pleasure to work with you and for

you over the past two years. I sincerely mean that. It is a great community to live and work in.” He also tipped his hat to county staff for their support, but particularly to administrative assistant Rose Gruntz for being “an absolute rock in the wardenʼs office” and a tremendous asset to the county. Echoing Emonʼs comments, Sweet added, “Iʼm not leaving, although Iʼll being leaving this chair.” A talented golfer, Sweet also promised to spend more time on the golf course next year and the year after that.

OVTA funding Continued from page 11

The recommendation was for option one, which calls for the establishment of sustainable funding for tourism marketing and the OVTA. This option requires an additional $38,124 above the 2012 contribution and an annual increase of about two per cent in overall funding each subsequent year. The amount of increase will mirror future increases in the Renfrew County budget. “Tourism destination marketing has been an industry and a municipal and county and City of Pembroke activity since 1956 in many ways and in many different forms of support,” said Alastair Baird, Renfrew County manager of economic development. Baird says the flatlining of funding for OVTA activities “has slowly strangled” OVTA activities to the extent so that its marketing efforts couldnʼt continue at the same level. OVTAʼs annual budget covers salaries for its three staff members and marketing activities, which include consumer shows, travel-media familiarization tours and co-operative advertising. OVTA also functions with the help of annual membership fees from 241 organizations. These include hotels, restaurants, rafting companies, ski resorts and other service organizations. “The importance of tourism in Renfrew County, you canʼs stress it enough,” said Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards Mayor Janice Visneskie. Knowing tourism brings more than one million visitors and more than $110 million to the county each year, she added: “I support the initiative so they can get on with promoting Renfrew County.” “This is something that for years needed to come forward,” said Admaston-Bromley Mayor Raye-Briscoe.

Country music fans in Ottawa and the Valley are in for a pre-Christmas treat when Juno-nominated Canadian country artist John Landry performs in three small venues Dec. 13-15. The Gaspé, Quebec born country music star has a large following nation-wide and the fact Landry is now a member of the Canadian Armed Forces is likely to win him even more friends. Captain Landry, who is stationed in Gander, Nfld., is part of The Outcasts, 103 Search and Rescue Squadron. The rescue squadron flies CH109 Cormorant helicopters from one of the busiest bases in Canada. Landry has continued to write, record and recently released his fourth CD which, appropriately, is titled Changing Man. He describes it as “a true reflection of my life over the past few years. “I got married, started a family and joined the Canadian Air Force. Iʼd say things have been changing for me,” he chuckles. “My decision to join the Air

Force did not happen overnight,” he explains. “Itʼs been a lifelong dream to fly for the military.” In mid-December he returns to his first love, country music. Beginning Thursday, Dec. 13 he will play at Greenfieldʼs, followed by the Almonte Old Town Hall on Friday and on Saturday, Dec. 15 he will headline a show at Mapleton House, an increasingly popular dinner and concert destination in the upper Ottawa Valley. Mapleton House is located at Hardwood Lake, near Palmer Rapids. Show time is 8 p.m. Promoter Morgan Adams of Ottawa-based Northern Star Management says the Mapleton House show will be the second in as many years for the popular country artist. “Last Christmas we did a show with John (at Mapleton House). The place was absolutely packed. People came from as far away as Keswick (in the Lake Simcoe region) to see John play,” Adams said. He also notes that all three venues are relatively intimate locations which will add to the atmosphere. “These are big shows for

places like Greenfieldʼs and the Old Town Hall in Almonte. Itʼs not every day someone of Johnʼs caliber plays smaller venues so Iʼm hopeful people will respond to these rare opportunities,” Adams said. In 2000 Landry was nominated for a Juno in the Best Country Male Artist category. Also in 2000 he was the CCMA Male Artist of the Year. Fans are urged to purchase tickets early. Tickets for the Greenfieldʼs performance tickets are $20 each at 900 Greenbank Road, Nepean or by calling 613823-9900 or 613-401-0856. Almonte Old Town Hall tickets are $25 each at Mississippi Mills Music Works, 453 Ottawa Street, Unit 5, Almonte (613-256-7464); Carleton Place at SRC Music, 124 Moore Street (613-253-0263) and Mapleton House $40 tickets for a buffet meal and show. Concert tickets only are $25 per person. They are available at the venue located on Highway 28, RR 2 Palmer Rapids or call 613-758-2182. Tickets can also be bought at the Griffith General Store. Call Don Adams (Morganʼs father) at 613-333-2240.

NATURE

Common red polls return for BRING HOME THE another winter, maybe JIM FERGUSON SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE A DIFFERENT FEEDER

An email from Douglas. Hi, Jim and Ila: One of our feeders is an upside down feeder. The birds must feed while hanging upside down beneath the feeder. We put slabs of peanut butter, lard, unshelled peanuts and sunflower seed in equal amounts in pan and heat the mixture, stirring it continually. We then line a dish with wax paper and pour in the mixture. When it set we place it in the feeder. We cannot keep the birds away from it, we’ve had both, hairy and downy woodpeckers brown creepers, white and red-breasted nuthatches, black-capped chickadees, and of all things a blue jay that has learned to hang on upside down to eat, the feeder is in use all day. John Holyer, Douglas This sounds like an interesting feeder, John. Please send us a picture or a drawing to share with our readers.

RICHARD MCMANUS

Redpoll getting some rest.

There were very few water birds on the lake this year: mallards, common mergansers, hooded mergansers, however, a pair of loons were regulars. The action keeps things interesting. Jane Hunter, Calabogie Marlene Hanneman had a flock of common redpolls at her feeders for the first time this year on Dec. 1. Redpolls cannot be depended on to arrive at feeders at any given time. One year there will be hundreds at feeders and in fields where there are a variety of weed seeds; the next year only a few will come to feed. One year they arrive in the fall, the next in the spring, unpredictable for sure.

Just wanted to drop a line to say that in the 12 to 15 years that I have been participating in the FeederWatch program I have a pair of cardinals at my feeders to report. They are such a striking bird, even the female. I also had three pine grosbeaks cleaning up the remaining small crab apples left by the robins and Bohemian waxwings, another striking bird. Linda Simpson, Beachburg WINTER TERRITORY

Bob Cybulski has three female and two male cardinals coming to his feeders. He says they arrive just at dusk and are continually fighting over who gets to eat. Such aggressive behaviour

CANADA GEESE

Boyd and Marlene Brisco saw more than 2,000 Canada Geese on the Ottawa River in front of the Brisco home last Friday at about 9 a.m. While I was talking to Boyd, Marlene said that the geese had all flown. Whether they went to feed somewhere else or they were on their way to the St. Lawrence River we did not know, but they were finally gone. We wondered if it was the last we would see of them until next spring.

Alice and Chuck Clarke at Cobden had pine grosbeaks at their feeders in Cobden. The birds must be finding some fruit: crab apples, ash berries or staghorn sumac somewhere in the area. We are hoping they will remain to be counted in the Christmas Bird Count.

is common when a good feeding territory is at stake. Each pair of cardinals wants its own territory with a sunflower seed feeder included and they will fight to gain control of it. The birds will sometimes share the feeder but other pairs must not come to feed at the same time or an altercation will break out. Joyce Ranger had a more peaceful pair of cardinals at her feeder in Haley Station for the first time.

An email from Calabogie Village. Hi, Jim and Ila: This past weekend a very large flock of about 70 common redpolls spent much of the afternoon feeding on weed seeds in the open area across the street. During the second week of November there were about 50 bohemian waxwings feeding in the fruit trees. I have had visits from a pair of cardinals, a pileated woodpecker, an immature bald eagle and a barred owl. Evening grosbeaks, large numbers of juncos and the usual visitors, blue jays, hairy and downy woodpeckers, chickadees, goldfinches and nuthatches, white and red-breasted and a few purple finches have all been here.

Renfrew OPP

The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police responded to 150 calls for service during the past week.

IMPAIRED CHARGE

Just a little over a week into the OPPĘźs Festive R.I.D.E. (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) campaign, the OPP has been busy taking impaired drivers off our roads in an effort to prevent the tragic loss of life during the holidays. From Nov. 24 to Dec. 2, 151 drivers have been pulled over in R.I.D.E. stops and charged with impaired driving and 152 drivers were issued immediate Warn Range driverĘźs licence suspensions. Since the campaign got underway on Nov. 24, OPP R.I.D.E. stops have been conducted throughout the province and the OPP is warning drivers that their high visibility will persist in the weeks to come. According to the OPP, no amount of alcohol is “safeâ€? and guaranteed to give you a low breath test reading, and they will continue to issue Warn Range suspensions to those who register a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) between .05 and .08. The OPP is once again reminding drivers who are out drinking, that it is far easier to come up with a game plan to get home than to get pulled over in a R.I.D.E. stop, lose their licence and lose possession of their vehicle on the spot. The OPP is also asking the public to help keep everyone safe over the holidays by calling 9-1-1 to report impaired drivers. In doing so, you could be saving lives. Members of the public are invited to join the OPP on Facebook to share their views and stories about impaired driving, as well as the OPPĘźs Festive R.I.D.E. campaign. R0011796022

On Saturday, Dec. 1 at about 11:45 p.m., Const. Hayley Chaplin stopped a vehicle at a Festive RIDE spot check. The male driver had been drinking and failed a roadside alcohol screening test. After further testing, a 58-year-old Renfrew man was charged with driving over 80 mgs. He was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew on Jan. 16, 2013. Drivers are reminded that Festive RIDE spot checks will be conducted frequently during December until Jan. 2. If you know you will be drinking, please make alternate arrangements and donĘźt be tempted to drive. Drive safe, drive sober. sponded to four domestic disputes during the previous week.

RENFREW COUNTY

Public works department thrown unexpected curve steve.newman@metroland.com

The sign on County Road 508 was a landmark of sorts for Ian MacPherson, but he knew it also represented a potentially huge highway hazard. He ďŹ rst noticed the road sign about a year ago. The sign told drivers of the upcoming curve in the road, about two kilometres west of Burnstown, before the turnoff to his own place. The only trouble was the sign shows the road curving left to right, when the road actually curves right to left. So MacPherson sent the Renfrew Mercury EMC a photograph and note about his concerns. The Mercury EMC notiďŹ ed Renfrew County public works director Dave Darch on Monday, Nov. 27.

The next day, the countyĘźs road crew replaced the sign — one of an estimated 3,000 to 4,000 directional signs located across the countyĘźs road network of more than 800 kilometres. Darch, who joined the county staff as public works director in 2007, was mystiďŹ ed by the situation. “In all my years, IĘźve never seen that,â€? said Darch. “I donĘźt know (how it happened). I guess IĘźd view it as an honest mistake.â€? At the same time, he said it was important to replace the sign as quickly as possible. Darch speculated that a roads crew, recently or years ago, simply erected the sign without noticing the error. MacPherson speculated that the sign might have been up for years, following the last major paving of the road in the late 1990s.

The curve in the road goes left, but the sign says otherwise. This sign on County Road 508 (Burnstown Road)may have been in place for years, until the Renfrew Mercury EMC notified the county’s public works department.

HERITAGE

1937: Meat Shop scorched in fire at Lisgar and German streets DECEMBER 5, 1912

OLGA LEWIS

STREET LETTER BOXES: Mr. E. Duguay of the Post Office Department visited Renfrew this week to look into the matter of placing the street letter boxes in town, and after a drive over the town with Postmaster Wright decided that there location should be at the following places: 1. Stewart and Arthur, 2. Lisgar and German, 3. Main and Munro, 4. Arnprior and Parry Sound, 5. Xavier and Railway, 6. Hall and Barr, 7. Horton and Pine, 8. Coumbes and Main, and 9. OʼGorman and Main. ABOUT THE SACRED BAND CONCERTS: For the information of any who may have come to town since last winter, when these concerts were inaugurated, it may be noted that a collection is taken up, which is divided equally between the Band and the Opera House, and going to

FROM THE OLD FILES the latter to pay for light and heat, and to the band to provide it with the special music needed. The players get no remuneration whatever. They furnish their services freely and gladly with the love of music in their hearts and that their neighbors may enjoy it and at the same time hear on common ground short undenominational addresses from the clergymen of all denominations and from some of the citizens. DECEMBER 2, 1937

WILSON MEAT SHOP SCORCHED THIS MORNING: The fire alarm sounded at 7:30

oʼclock this morning. Fire had broken out in the meatshop of Mr. Harry Wilson at the corner of Lisgar and German streets. Smoke was noticed within the building and when a door was opened flames burst forth. A line of hose was laid by and the blaze soon drowned out. It is not known what caused the trouble. The building, a small frame structure, has for some years catered to meat eaters in that part of town. POST OFFICE BOXES MOVED: Post office boxes are now in the annex built this year and not yet completed. People enter for the present y a rear door to get their mail. In the front part alterations are in progress. Location of the boxes was changed on the 28th when men of different trades were busy in the building all day.

COUPLE GET STAR: Neil and Ann Swayze of Renfrew received the Star of Courage from the Governor General last Friday for rescuing a man from the burning wreckage of his van in July 1976. Twenty-one bravery decorations were presented by the Right Honorable Jules Leger at Government House, including six Stars of Courage. Mr. and Mrs. Swayze succeeded in pulling Stephen Collier from his van, freeing him from the burning wreckage. Mr. Collier was trapped in his vehicle following a head on collision near Renfrew last year. CKOB GETS LICENSE: CKOB station manager Marty Burns said yesterday that the radio station has received its license renewal from the CRTC. Mr. Burns said the renewal goes into effect April 1, 1978 and expires March 31, 1981. The station is still waiting for approval to increase

DECEMBER 7, 1977

its wattage, he said, and transmitters are being installed pending approval from the CRTC. For help with research at Heritage Renfrew, call Olga Lewis at 613432-6958.

Boys challenge girls in penny war

today tto see how you can have ave ve ve

War has been declared at Queen Elizabeth Public School, but it’s all for a good cause. Malcolm McKenna, left, and Sam LaBossiere, have started a penny war with all funds going to School Box, an organization that helps children in South America access primary education. The whole school is getting involved in the boys-versus-girls challenge that has an interesting twist. All week long (Dec. 310), two jars will be stationed at the school’s office. While pennies towards each team will give the group positive points, nickels, dimes, quarters, loonies, toonies and dollar bills in a group’s jar will take away from their total. Community donations are welcome and can be dropped off at the school’s office. The boys are organizing the project as part of the Nobody Program and chose School Box because Malcolm’s aunt and uncle have been to Nicaragua where they spent two weeks building a school. The boys hope to raise $150 to put towards the building of a school in Ecuador.

Valley Classic brings 125 athletes to Renfrew wrestling tourney Harry and Trisha Smith Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club

The Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club hosted its annual wrestling tournament at St. Josephʼs Catholic High School gymnasium Dec. 10. The event drew 125 athletes, coming from Ottawa, Montreal, Kingston and surrounding areas. Coaches Harry Smith, Grant Lavallee, Larry Hanniman and Jay DʼAguilar were very proud of the athletes from Renfrew in attendance. Out-of-town teams voiced their pleasure with how smoothly the tournament ran. It finished early so most could be home for dinner. With some tough competition in every weight class, Renfrew won 10 gold medals, two silver and one fourth place. Renfrew also won the team title for the open female division. Renfrew was also second in novice males and fifth in senior males out

of 12 teams. Individual results included: • Gold: Athena Mitchell, Angel Smith, Lily Lafont, Leicy Ditmar, Chelsea Bernard, Brandon McDonald, Cole Herbert, Sam Wolfe, Joey Hanniman and James Foran. • Silver: Samantha Smith and Devin Tabbert. Jarret Laking finished just off the podium in fourth. Coach Shohannah Smith was up for a challenge when the referees were short a person. Shohannah came forward and officiated all day, while Lee McKay from Ottawa also refereed on one of the other mats. Lee officiated at the London Olympics and has been selected as one of the three referees in North America to be a FILA (International Wrestling Federation) instructor. Special thanks go out to all the coaches and Shohannah. Renfrew will next take it to the mats in Kingston Dec. 8 to finish off 2012 with a bang.

Toronto Raptors are the most positive 4-and-14 team Amidst the National Hockey Leagueʼs Lockout – which I often seriously believe might destroy the league – other sports have risen to the forefront. The Toronto Raptors, for example, are catching my attention. With the 2012 Grey Cup done and baseball in its off season, the Raptors are the only Canadian-based team left holding the bag. At 4-and-14, they have long been realistically eliminated from the playoffs. They are closing in on my 50-loss

PETER CLARK PETER’S PUTTERINGS prediction with 64 games to go. Still, the Raptors remain entertaining. Whether they lose by one or 41, I love how coach Dwane Casey always finds a silver lining.

Bowling to the rescue: NHL lockouts under the watchful eye of Gary Bettman start to blend in together after awhile. I remember one year, we got our sports fix by going upstairs to Bernieʼs Place and watching womenʼs bowling on TSN. Iʼm pretty sure it was on Monday nights. After a couple of weeks, we knew

the names of the bowlers as well as those of the Ottawa Senators or Toronto Maple Leafs. The bowling season wrapped up long before NHL hockey started up again. The eventual womenʼs bowling champ hailed from Winnipeg, and with her trophy, she won $100. We figured it was enough to bus her way to North Bay, and then hitchhike the rest of the way home. Getting back to the latest battle of the billionaires versus the millionaires, everyone is so busy counting

their money, theyʼve obviously forgotten about the good of the game. It is what has allowed the players to become rich in the first place. Talks resume: Maybe there is actually hope of a resolution coming, Over the years though, Iʼve learned not to take stock on anything. As of this past Tuesday, players union rep Donald Fehr and Bettman have stepped aside for a few meetings, and it appears that the gap between to two sides has been narrowed.

Losses drop Wolves into fourth place Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

The Renfrew Timberwolves need some wins. The Wolves have now seen a losing skid run to three games in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League, including two games to Valley Division rivals they are battling for upper playoff spots with. The Wolves dropped a 4-3 decision to the Arnprior Packers Friday night, a result that dropped the Renfrew club from second to third place. A 5-2 setback to the Metcalfe Jets of the Metro loop Sunday, coupled with results elsewhere, pushed the Wolves (10-12-2) down to fourth in the Valley loop. ARNPRIOR 4, WOLVES 3

These two long-rivals have staged some barnburners over the years, and Friday nightĘźs clash at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre was no exception. The game seemed to crank itself up the deeper it got. The teams were scoreless after 20 minutes, thanks mainly to the play of Wolves netminder Matt Schroeder. The Wolves were able to generate very little in terms of offence, while the Packers had to leave the ice feeling they should have been up by three or four goals. Things started to heat up in the middle period.

Six goals were scored before the session was nine minutes old. It went from 0-0 to 2-2 inside of ďŹ ve minutes, and all four of those goals came on powerplays. Jared Steege – with his ďŹ rst of three – and Alex SeraďŹ ni landed the Packers a 2-0 lead before Casey Doner and Colin Bradbury pulled the Wolves even. Steege and Dallas Farr then traded markers a couple of minutes apart to up the ante to 3-3. That set the stage for a third period with numerous scoring opportunities at both ends. RenfrewĘźs best chance came when Doner was hauled down as he broke into the clear with 11:32 remaining. But Packers goaltender Kyle Lamothe outfoxed him on the ensuing penalty shot. As fate would have it, Steege banged home a rebound 1:29 later to give Arnprior its margin of victory. The Wolves had yet another chance to draw even, but failed to convert on a two-man advantage of over a minute with ďŹ ve minutes remaining. The game came with one scrap in the last 10 minutes. Ryan Eady and Arnprior counterpart Brayden Harvey received early exits. The Wolves ďŹ nished with a 40-39 margin in shots on goal, thanks to a 17-7 edge in the third period.

METCALFE 5, WOLVES 2

The Metcalfe Jets scored four goals in the third period to snap deadlocks of 1-1 and 2-2 en route to the matinee triumph on home ice. Kyle Downey had two goals to pace Metcalfe, including the game winner on a powerplay with 11:07 remaining. Tanner Smith had evened the count at 2-2 with a shorthanded marker for the Wolves less than two minutes earlier. Scott Conroy assisted on both Smith markers. The Jets iced the verdict with a pair of goals in the last two minutes, including an open-net tally. Wolves goaltender Nicolas Hodgins blocked 32 shots while MetcalfeĘźs Eric Drouin kicked aside 25 Renfrew shots. WOLVES HOWLINGS

The Wolves have added defenceman Mike Minns and forward Colin Bradbury to the lineup. Patrick Dick has been

dealt to the Almonte Thunder for the playing rights to a 16-year-old player in 201314. Coach and general manager Brent Sylvester said the recent losses havenĘźt been through a lack of effort. “The kids played well (in Metcalfe) despite another awful game by the ofďŹ cials. We had nine forwards and ďŹ ve defencemen. “We did lose Michael Minns to another concussion and (he lost) four teeth due to a butt end in the second period and with the ref standing a foot and a half away there was no call,â€? the coach added. “The kids are hanging in and battling hard.â€? The Wolves still have a bit of breathing room on the ďŹ nal playoff spot, but host the Almonte Thunder in a crucial game Friday at 8 p.m. at the ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. Almonte has played four less games than the Wolves. After enjoying this Sunday off, the Wolves stay at home for a Dec. 14 encounter versus the Stittsville Royals at 8 p.m.

Pembroke tough to catch in Low Cup Andy Sklepowicz Behind the Glass

The senior men were on the road to Arnprior last week and came home with three of four wins but once again it was not enough to keep pace with Low Cup leader Pembroke as they won all four of their games and extended their lead. The team of Gary Smith, Rory McKay, Sheldon Stewart and George Burton played solidly in both their two games to come away with two tough wins. The highlights of the second game were a delicate tap double against three by Gary, which turned the sixth end and the game around, and some thunderous takeouts by Rory. The other team featured skip Barry Griese in his Low Cup debut along with Dave Eady, Eric Craig and Larry Visneskie. They proved the saying “play well, you win; play poorly and you loseâ€? as they lost their ďŹ rst game and then came back to win their second, both by large margins. The new look to the Renfrew teams was because the team of Rob Warren, Don Rouble, Jim Berg and Andy Humphries were at the Ottawa Granite Club playing in a senior menĘźs spiel and with one down coming home with hammer, won 7-4 over Buck-

ingham then with one up coming home without hammer, won 7-4 over Kingston. On points, they came third. Renfrew was the sight for the zones, the ďŹ rst round of playdowns in the Dominion stick championships this past week and it was only to determine placing, as all three teams were already assured of moving on to the regionals, the next round. The team of Yvonne Sklepowicz, Barb Roy, Pat Lee and Jean Klages struggled, giving up big opening leads in both their games. Against the all male Doug WoodĘźs rink from OttawaĘźs Carleton Heights and down 6-0 some sharp shooting by their skip brought the team back, only to have her ďŹ nal draw inches short to lose 7-6. Their second game against Jan Innis, another experienced team, from Ottawa Granite started the same but there was no comeback magic this time and the teams shook hands after seven. And ďŹ nally, the busy week was capped off with four teams travelling to CarpĘźs Huntley Club for a friendly. They returned home with three wins. The Charlie Ricard, Jim Harbord and Andy Sklepowicz teams won while the Burt Miller foursome was friendly and left a win for our hosts. R0011777483 R R00 R001 001 11777 1 17 177 483

Jaguars split pre-season games

Pursuing a hockey dream with Marshall the moose Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

“He was a regular,” says Audrey VanderVelde, remembering several years ago when her young son Shawn attended the childrenʼs section of the Renfrew Public Library. This recent visit to the library, though, is about the 2012 publication of a book written by Shawnʼs wife, photojournalist Lisa VanderVelde, of Vernon, B.C. Make that author, too, since Lisa wrote the text and sister Erin Black, who lives in Dunedin, New Zealand, did the illustrations for the preschoolersʼ picture book about hockey. Marshall Plays Hockey is about Marshall the moose, who decides to tackle the game of hockey, even though heʼs never donned a pair of skates. Betty the beaver tells Mar-

shall he canʼt play hockey because heʼs a moose, but Marshall isnʼt dissuaded, and he soldiers on after watching children enjoy the game on the local pond. Other characters include a Canada goose, deer and bear. DEDICATION

The book is dedicated to the authorʼs daughter Anneke and son Lucas, and the illustratorʼs son Jake. Shawn VanderVelde, who grew up in Renfrew, says the book has been a real hit with his four-year-old son, whoʼs in love with hockey. “I think itʼs fantastic that people are really accepting and loving the book,” says Shawn. “Kids love seeing animals doing things,” he adds, noting a second book by the sisters may feature Marshall the moose, other characters and perhaps the sport of ruby,

Reindeer on the run

which New Zealanders are crazy about. MARSHALL THE MOOSE POPULAR

Most reassuring to Lisa is the popularity of Marshall the moose. “The day after I read him the book for the first time, he (Lucas) was drawing pictures of Marshall,” says Lisa, who was motivated to write the book after finding few hockey books for pre-schoolers. Knowing that parents Lisa and Shawn both grew up with books, Audrey says, “Iʼm just happy for them, that the book has come out in a wonderful project.” Copies of the Marshall Plays Hockey are available from Valley Source for Sports and A Sense of Country in Renfrew. Published by Wayside Press in Vernon, the book costs $12.99.

St. Josephʼs Jaguars boys basketball teams make a trip to Pembroke last Wednesday for pre-season games against the Bishop Smith Crusaders. The Senior Jaguars showed a balanced attack and hightempo game en route to a 4630 triumph. Peter Vice and Josh Naismith both collected eight points to lead the way. A slow start in both halves eventually caught up with the Junior Jaguars. Bishop Smith prevailed 2822. Nathan Dyck led the Jaguars attack with 10 points. Joe Hanniman and Austin Taylor chipped in with four. Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association regular-season play in both boy basketball and girls volleyball is underway this week.

On Saturday Dec. 1, runners donning festive red and antlers took to the streets of Renfrew for the second annual Reindeer Run. The 10 a.m. temperature dipped below zero, but dry clean streets and absence of wind made conditions ideal for a fun run. The event was hosted by Valley Source for Sports and participants included members from the storeʼs running club as well as the Whitewater Roadrunners of Cobden, and Travis Holmesʼ Renfrew Track Club. First to hit the ribbon was track club member and Renfrew Collegiate Raider Sam Agnew. In lieu of a registration fee, participants made donations to the Renfrew and District Food Bank and the Mitten Tree.

Back from medical challenges in Uzbekistan steve.newman@metroland.com

Susan Adolph, who grew up in Nova Scotia but calls Renfrew her second home, hasnʼt seen much of either place the last few years. The Halifax resident has been working the last several years for Doctors Without Borders, which is also known as Médicins Sans Frontières (MSF). Since 2004, her MSF contracts have taken her to Sudan, Pakistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo and, most recently, Uzbekistan and the neighbouring country of Tajikistan. “Sometimes Iʼm a little concerned about her safety. There have been some tense times,” says her dad, Murray Adolph, who owns the OʼBrien Theatres in Renfrew. “But sheʼs doing what she wants to do.” A small group of French doctors who had worked in famine-ravaged Biafra founded Doctors Without Borders, whose major goal was to find ways to respond quickly and effectively to public health emergencies around the world. As one of the worldʼs leading independent, international medical relief organizations, Doctors Without Borders is working in about 80 countries. One of the globeʼs pressing

health emergencies is the high rate of tuberculosis, especially drug-resistant tuberculosis, in the Asian country and former Soviet republic of Uzbekistan. Nurse Adolph, who has worked out of Uzbekistan since the spring of 2010, has just returned home to Halifax, where she has done community-based nursing between MSF contracts. “What started off as a personal experience quickly became a career with MSF,” says Adolph, 37. During a visit to Renfrew in late October, Susan spoke to The Mercury about her recent overseas experiences. Most of her work in Uzbekistan, a country of 30 million people, has been in the Region of Karakalpakstan, which sits adjacent to the Aral Sea with a population of about two million. Once the worldʼs fourth largest inland sea, the Aral Sea has lost most of its volume in an area that is now highly salinated. Heavy use of pesticides and fertilizers in the cotton industry are blamed for much of the soil and air pollution. The state of the seabed “is likely a contributing factor to respiratory compromise,” says Adolph. She first arrived in Uzbekistan to work as a nurse, and later as a medical team leader, in the tuberculosis-treatment

program. She then took specialized courses in the United States and Indonesia, before assuming the role of tuberculosis infection-control specialist. Since 2004, Doctors Without Borders has treated about 2,500 residents in Karakalpakstan for drug-resistant TB, and others with other forms of tuberculosis. PARTICULAR CHALLENGES

The program isnʼt just about treatment, though. Because TB is considered a curse in the former Soviet republic, it remains difficult to keep people on treatment programs that last two years. Therefore, part of the programʼs focus is on awarenessbuilding and mental health counselling. The program is home to about 20 international workers and 100 local staff who are largely based out of the capital city of Nukus. There, as in other parts of the world, the gap in treatment programs is implementation. Hence, Adolph says she hopes to market herself as a tuberculosis infection-control officer somewhere else in the world. “I think Iʼve spent as much time as I need to. I also seek to do new things,” she says of her work in Uzbekistan. Not pointing the finger at Doctors Without Borders, she suggests she was work-

obsessed, therefore she often took only a day off work per month. During that time off, she typically treated herself to a manicure and downtime on the Internet. Some of those connections were made to Renfrew. “It really is my second home,” she says. “I do consider myself to be a citizen of the Ottawa Valley. I have dual citizenship between Halifax and Renfrew.” The type of work in Uzbekistan made a difference in peopleʼs lives, and thatʼs what she wants to continue to do, she says. “Change takes commitment, and people always talk about always wanting to do something (out of the ordinary). No thing is too small. And acting locally (wherever you are) does have an impact.” Each time sheʼs worked with Doctors Without Borders, she says, “It increases my commitment to the world to make it a better place. I know it sounds like cliché, but itʼs true.” With tuberculosis on the rise again globally, she adds: “Like many things, if we dedicate resources, we may have a chance to rid the world of this disease.” Doctors Without Borders hopes to have extended its tuberculosis treatment across the entire region of Karakalpakstan by 2015.

A gathering of 80 people learned Thursday, hiring disabled people can not only make your business better, but can contribute signiďŹ cantly. The County and Renfrew and Renfrew Rotary Club hosted Open Minds, Open Doors: Hiring Disabled Workers in the Renfrew Rotary Hall at Bonnechere Manor. Guests were Mark Wafer and Joe Dale, who spoke of the beneďŹ ts of hiring disabled workers. Both are members of the Whitby Rotary Club. Wafer has his own hearing disability. That hasnĘźt deterred him from building a series of successful businesses over the past 20 years. Wafer owns six Tim Hortons franchises in Scarborough. During 17 years in business, he has hired 82 people with disabilities, including 34 in his workforce of 210 people spread over six locations. Dale has worked in the disability ďŹ eld more than 35 years and has spent most time working on various issues related to helping people with a disability get a job. He has taken on the Rotary at Work initiative on behalf of Community Living Ontario and works with several Rotary Clubs and individual Rotarians interested in helping people who have a disability get into the workforce. “Many employers think people with disabilities are going to get hurt on the job or not work diligently. This is simply not true,â€? Wafer said. “As employees, we have never had a WSIB claim on any of our disabled employees. The average employee weĘźve had is 1.3 years. It is seven years for my employees with a disability. Educating employees on those beneďŹ ts is the most important thing we can do.â€? They are very strong-willed and give you that extra. Disabled employees send out contagious energy. They help the attitude and sense of purpose of the able-bodied workers which creates teamwork, Wafer added. “U.S. pharmacy giant Walgreens opened its new distri-

bution centre in 2007,â€? Dale said. “Walgreens has an employee base of 700 people, of which 40 per cent (280) have a disability, The centre has posted a 20 per cent higher efďŹ ciency rating than any of their other distribution centres with over 10,00 employees.â€? Added Dale of people with disabilities in the workplace: • 90 per cent scored average or above average in performance ratings; • 86 per cent have average or better attendance records; • 46 per cent work harder than other workers; • they have a 97 per cent rate average to above average in terms of safety on the job; • workers with a disability are ďŹ ve times more likely to stay on the job; • accommodations are generally simple and inexpensive with most costing less than $500. “Sixteen per cent of the Canadian population, including 1.9 million Ontarians have a disability,â€? Dale said. “That includes every community and neighbourhood, and 49 per cent are unemployed.â€? Dale said this leads to $3.8 billion annually on disability pensions. The County of RenfrewĘźs Accessibility Advisory Committee has partnered with the Neil Squire Society to create and launch a new Business Outreach Program. This program is a template for local businesses who want more information on how to recruit and hire persons with disabilities. Call the Neil Squire Society at 613-735-4586 for more information. Wafer hires disabled people not to be a charity, but because they make his business better. “I believe this has made by business stronger. This is not charity,â€? Wafer said. “This sends a strong message to all my staff that everyone will be respected for their contributions. It sends a strong to the community and our customers.â€? “It changes the culture of the organization. Customers like it,â€? Dale added. “We want to make more people aware about the beneďŹ ts of doing this. It is an incredible win-win experience.â€?

Renfrew councillor Evans suffers broken leg Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

And then there were six. The seven-member Renfrew council has been temporarily reduced by one for council chamber discussions. Nov. 17, rookie Coun. Andrew Evans was doing yard maintenance on property he owns near Hurds Lake when he fell awkwardly and suffered fractures of the tibia and ďŹ bula bones in his right leg. He made the 9-1-1 call on his own cellular phone and the

ambulance arrived in about ďŹ ve minutes, said Evans. The Renfrew resident was transferred from Renfrew Victoria Hospital to the Ottawa Hospital where he underwent surgery the next day. He has plates and pins in his leg and a cast that will stay on for up to 16 weeks. “It could have been worse,â€? said Evans from home. “I guess IĘźm going to try to make the best of it. With any luck IĘźll be back to council within 12 weeks. IĘźm in good spirits.â€? Evans was told to stay

Share the Harvest

off his feet, to allow the leg to heal. Evans, who works as a mortgage agent, says he can still do much of his full-time job from home by computer. He says itĘźs bad timing, given councilĘźs current projects, like discussion about whether or not to pursue construction of a second ice pad and swimming pool. However, he says he plans to attend the Dec. 11 public meeting about the proposed facility. Evans hopes to be back at the council table fairly early in the New Year.

MP Gallant marks special week “This week marks the UNʼs International Day of Persons with Disabilities, making it a fitting time to remind Canadians of some of the challenges disabled Canadians face,” says Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant. The Conservative government has put in place a number of initiatives to help Canadians living with disabilities, she added. Gallantʼs Private Members Bill, An Act Restricting the Fees charged by promoters of the Disability Tax Credit and making consequential amendments to the Tax Court of Canada Act, Bill C-462, will build on the steps already taken, a news release said. Third party promoters have been charging disabled Canadians unlimited fees to help them fill out a form for a once-a-year income tax relief they often need to help with expenses. Bill C-462 was introduced into the House of Commons by Gallant on Nov. 5 and is scheduled to be first debated on Dec. 11. It will regulate the maximum commissions that may be charged by disability tax promoters when assisting with the Disability Tax Credit application process.

December is a special month for St. Joeʼs. We begin the countdown to the “most wonderful time of the year!” Last Sunday marked the beginning of the first week of Advent. At St. Joeʼs, the lighting of the first candle on the wreath is celebrated with a school mass. With the new snow comes a new season of sports. Girlsʼ volleyball and boysʼ basketball teams have been finalized, and the regular season begins this week. Exhibition games for both sports were played last week, and all teams are off to a strong start. Last Thursday, St. Joeʼs hosted the small schools volleyball tournament. Teams from elementary schools in the district travelled to play each other in our gymnasium. That same day, the performing arts students travelled to Arnprior feeder schools John XXIII and St. Joeʼs Arnprior to showcase the musical extra curricular activities. This Friday, the annual Baskets for the Bank will be raising funds and food for the Renfrew and District Food Bank. All students can “buy out” of class by paying $2 or two cans of food to watch the seniors take on the teachers in a competitive basketball game. The annual semi formal dance is also this Friday, from 8 p.m. until midnight. This yearʼs theme is ʻSilver Bells.ʼ Come dressed in your best attire! The Christmas concert will be held on the evening of Dec. 20, following a performance in front of the school early in the afternoon. Mark your calendars for this special evening. Please note that we are continuing our toy drive and snowsuit collection. Any new or gently used toys and snowsuits can be dropped off in the school by the chapel. The support of the community ensures that all children

in Renfrew have an enjoyable Christmas and stay warm throughout the cold winter months. Citrus orders are expected to arrive this week. If you have bought the or-

EDUCATION

Plenty of activity at Renfrew Collegiate Institute Raider Review

A strong focus on academic achievement has filled the halls in the past weeks in preparation for the distribution of report cards. Students and teachers continue to be involved in many events and activities inside and outside of the classroom. Nov. 5, Renfrew Collegiate Institute students were able to collect enough food for the local food bank to last two months! An enormous thankyou to everyone who helped out. Nov. 8, a fundraiser sponsored by the Interact Club resulted in two of the most entertaining games of the year. The RCI senior girlsʼ basketball team took on our female staff, and our senior boys volleyball team played against our male teachers. The students who packed the gymnasium were not disappointed, offering huge applause to two questionable ʻfemale staffʼ members. All the money collected went to the Free the Children water project. FAMINE

A large group of RCI students from Grades 7 to 12 gathered in the Grant Gym on Nov. 9, to participate in the 24-hour famine. This event raised over $3,000, which is a huge boost to the Interact Clubʼs goal of $5,000 for their Free the Children Clean Water project. Oct. 10, RCI students from the native studies class travelled to Nigan Ahinabi where they had the opportunity to participate in the Aboriginal Circle ceremony and smudging.

Oct. 19, the students were invited to return to Nigan Ahinabi to participate in a sweat lodge. The students came back with a better understanding of the beliefs and rituals of Native peoples.

cards feature original student work. Cards can be purchased at the school, Shears Unisex

Hairstyling and Donohue Art and Frame. The cards sell for $3.50 each or five for $15. The art department will

also be holding a silent auction Sunday, Dec. 16, at 1:30 p.m. The art department would

like to thank you for offering to sell our studentsʼ art work in your stores. Go, Raiders, go!

REMEMBRANCE SPEAKER

Nov. 9, RCI held its annual Remembrance Day assembly with performances by the senior band. Guest speaker Master Warrant Officer Stanley Mecredi, who has been employed in the military for 30 years, has spent over five and a half years overseas on tours and is currently leaving for Afghanistan for another eight months. He spoke from the heart and shared his story about the balance between his job and his loving family and how difficult it is to leave family behind for something he believes in. MWO Mecredi explained his desire to fight to make Canada a better place for everyone. It was a very emotional speech. Upon leaving, he reminded students to take the time and shake a veteranʼs hand because veterans are our history and we are the future. With fall sports wrapping up, tryouts have begun for the next season, for girls volleyball, boys basketball and hockey. Good luck to all athletes and teachers involved in these activities. ARTISTS

This year RCI students from Grade 9 to 12 have the opportunity to share their art talents. RCIʼs art teacher has been busily photographing studentsʼ art work to make into greeting cards. All of the

To my dear friend who left us on Dec. 4, 2008. I cannot believe it has now been 4 years since you left us. I will never forget the shock and pain I felt when I was informed of your passing. You were a special one. It seems like only yesterday you were greeting me regularly in my travels. I dearly miss your infectious smile and laugh. I will always Thank You from the bottom of my heart for reaching out to be my friend, Especially when I was new in the Valley, and did not have many. Please know your memory remains entrenched with all of the friends and folks that knew you, At our Church, at the beer store, at the mall, and everywhere in the community. My daughter Stephanie vividly remembers your Halloween kindness to this day, You at the beer store was always one of her most favourite stops and visits, You were the coolest of the cool and the kindest of the kind to her on those special days. Her and I will forever Thank You for treating her like one of your beloved nieces. But that was Blair being Blair. One of the special ones. Your presence was always felt and made us all smile. On behalf of your many, many, friends, I must say, We miss you like the desert misses the rain, more today than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow. You were one fine gentleman, Who was loved by many, And will never ever be forgotten. May The Lord Bless and Keep You, May The Lord Make His Face shine upon you, and be gracious to You May The Lord turn His Face toward you, and bring your soul peace Now and forever.

Love always, Rick, Andrew, Tyler, Scott, Jessica, and Bentley
