New response system Tiffany Lepack
tlepack@metroland.com
The Renfrew Fire Department will now respond to certain medical calls in the Town of Renfrew. On Nov. 28 Renfrew council approved a modified tiered response program, on a one-year trial basis. Coun. Kate Windle, who is also the chair of the fire and emergency management committee, said it was great pilot program to try. “The firefighters themselves have been the real push,” said Windle. “If they can save one life, it’s worth a shot.” Mayor Don Eady was in support of the trial but asked fire Chief Guy Longtin to submit quarterly reports. Longtin stressed they are not out to take paramedic jobs; they are just there to assist the people in the event there is a delay in the ambulance. “What we are looking at is more life-threatening calls. We are looking at calls that people have shortness of breath, where they have possibly a heart attack, where there is a possible drowning, that type of incident and only when the paramedics are not in town or not available to respond in town,” explained Longtin. The chief emphasized there is a very good paramedic service in the county and there are not too many times when they are not available. “But when they are not available, it’s nice for us to be able to go and assist,” said Longtin. The new program will see the Central Ambulance Communication Centre dispatch the fire department, which can be on scene in town limits within
four minutes of receiving a page, to all Code 4 medical emergencies where an ambulance is not immediately available within town limits. “The response time is one of the major things. From the time we get paged out, we’re pretty much anywhere in town within four minutes,” said Longtin. “If you have a situation where the paramedics are on standby in Glasgow, for instance, they will be 10 minutes getting to town. We would be there providing assistance for the person in distress and hopefully within a very short while the paramedics will come to back us up.” All Renfrew firefighters are trained in emergency first aid, including CPR, defibrillation and airway management. They also carry a defibrillation unit and oxygen on board the front run pumper/rescue unit. This type of response is not something entirely new to Renfrew. In early 2001 the fire department entered into an agreement with the Provincial Ambulance Service to assist in a modified tiered response to medical emergencies when an ambulance would be delayed and it was a life-threatening situation. Approximately three years ago, according to the report submitted to council, the agreement was terminated by the province as they were no longer responsible for ambulance services that had been downloaded to the County of Renfrew Paramedic Service. At that time, the Renfrew Fire Department was responding to roughly 100 medical calls per year. This new response should not be confused with the fire/medic program the province is trying to implement.

County of Renfrew paramedics to hold toy/food drive Dec. 9

PUBLIC NOTICE HIGHWAY 60 - DOWNTOWN RECONSTRUCTION PUBLIC INFORMATION SESSION #2 The Town of Renfrew is progressing with the detailed design of the reconstruction of Highway 60 - Downtown. The project limits are: Raglan Street South from Hall Avenue to Munroe Avenue East, Raglan Street North from Munroe Avenue to Bridge Street and Bridge Street from Raglan Street North to the Bonnechere River Bridge.
Christmas is more than just toys and food, it is about giving back to the community. The County of Renfrew paramedics are holding their seventh annual Christmas Toy and Food Drive on Saturday, Dec. 9 from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. at the Renfrew Walmart located at 980 O’Brien Rd. The drive is in support of the Renfrew and Area Food Bank and the Salvation Army Christmas Hamper program. “It’s a worthy cause at Christmas time and somebody is always in need,” said Steve Osipenko, one of the paramedics helping to organize the event. “We are grateful for your contribu-
tions.” All of the paramedics who are involved with the drive volunteer their own time to make it a success. Since 2011 the County of Renfrew paramedics and volunteers have collected 1,774 toys, 3,341 items of food and $13,992 in cash donations, which is split between both charities. “We truly are always humbled by the generous community support we receive year after year,” said Amber Hultink, another paramedic helping to organize the event. “And 100 per cent - all of the donations, stay right here in the Renfrew and area community.” Everyone is encouraged to drop by with a new unwrapped toy donation, food items or cash donation to help the children and families in need this holiday season.
The project includes sanitary sewer rehabilitation, watermain replacement and road reconstruction including sidewalk, curbs, new water and sanitary services to the buildings. Construction will take place in 2018. The Project is being completed with financial contributions from the Ministry of Transportation’s 2017-18 Connecting Links Program and the Town of Renfrew. The Project is being completed under Schedule ‘A+’ of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment. The first Public Information Session for the Highway 60 - Downtown Reconstruction project will be held on: Date: Open House: Presentation: Location:
Wednesday, December 13, 2017 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. 6:30 p.m. Renfrew Town Hall - Council Chambers, 127 Raglan Street South, Renfrew, Ontario

Wilson mourned
RENFREW
Staff
Condolences continue to pour in for long-time businessman Mack Wilson who died on Nov. 26. At the Town of Renfrew council meeting on Nov. 28 Mayor Don Eady addressed his colleagues before regular business. “(Mack) has certainly left an indelible impression on the Town of Renfrew as an entrepreneur, developer, and philanthropist. Mack had a vision for this community early on in life and he followed that vision right up until the end,” said Eady. “He combined a strong work ethic with an entrepreneurial spirit that contributed to the development of hundreds of commercial and residential rental units and closer to a thousand new home lots within the Town of Renfrew.” Wilson was a proactive leader in engaging development and job growth, said Eady. Bob Cross, president of Megram Consulting Services Ltd. and former chamber of commerce president, described Wilson as an absolute visionary. “He was one of the smartest businessmen that I have ever met,” said Cross in an email. “He will be missed.” Cross first met Wilson almost 50 years ago when he started his trailer business, initially selling Terry Trailer (then a major employer in Renfrew) products when Cross was the customs broker for the company. In 1998, Wilson asked Cross to design and launch a website for his then growing property development business. “I can remember that some of his acquaintances in Renfrew thought that he was crazy...the Internet and websites were just a passing fancy after-all!” said Cross. “Well, Mack sold one of his new houses within a week after launch because of that website and the rest is history.” Cross says Wilson: established the industrial commission as a corporation independent of political meddling, built affordable housing developments to cater to aging country people who needed to be closer to amenities, solicited corporations to move to Renfrew, including Mitel, Westinghouse and others. “He financially and quietly supported our town’s charities and good works,” said Cross. “And purchased otherwise useless buildings and turned them into quality apartments, becoming the largest landlord in all of Renfrew County by a country mile.” Wilson led the industrial commission to fund numerous start-ups and small businesses and was instrumental in establishing the movement to get more doctors in town. “He put cash behind that,” said Cross. “And years ago he gambled and built his current office building in the hopes that it would attract others to those empty fields and it certainly did that in aces.”

R&R Electric celebrates 20 years with new building Sherry Haaima sherry.haaima@metroland.com
It was a grand opening 20 years in the making. Brothers Ray and Ron Cobus and their 10-plus employees joined friends, family and members of Horton council Nov. 10 to celebrate the opening of R&R Electric’s new shop at 43A Garden of Eden Road in Horton Township. The new shop is close to 2,000 square feet in size and features a modern reception area and garage. The business opened in 1997 and for the past 20 years was operated out of Ray and Ronnie’s homes and garages. Horton Mayor Bob Kingsbury was on hand to cut the ribbon. He congratulated all involved in the business’ success “Twenty years and going strong in the commercial industrial electrical business is indeed an accomplishment and on top of this they are opening this
new facility on Garden of Eden Road,” said Kingsbury. “Now everything is in the one place and, I might add, a top-of-theline facility.” He thanked the Cobus brothers for their efforts. “This sets a standard for future businesses when they come to Horton,” said Kingsbury. Coun. Dave Bennett, chair of economic development for the township, said R&R’s continued success is a very important part of financial stability in the township. “These are two gentlemen who have been part of Horton all their lives,” said Bennett. “You both have become a classact to follow.” Ray and Ronnie thanked the township for their years of support. They also expressed their gratitude for their employees for their roles in the business’ success. “We have the best employees around,” said Ray.

OPINION
Connected to your community
No holiday for some Although Christmas is still weeks away, the return of the so-called festive season is far from a joyous occasion for those who are reminded of what they don’t have or what they have lost. It could be coping with the loss of a loved one or struggling with a serious physical or mental health challenge; perhaps it’s financial pressure that can be especially stressful at this time of giving. For whatever reason, Christmas is anything but a celebration. These folks aren’t trying to dampen the enthusiasm of others who are into the festive spirit; it’s simply a case of trying to get through a difficult period in which feelings of despair and isolation could be heightened. A gesture that communicates empathy isn’t going to solve the person’s problem, but it might be appreciated and could, to some extent, ease the anxiety that often accompanies Christmas. Making a call, paying a visit or extending an invitation shows you are thinking of others in their
time of grief or misfortune. If someone appears to be having extreme difficulty coping, show support and encourage him or her to reach out to an agency that is equipped to deal with such a crisis. These scenarios could arise at any time of year and not just during the so-called holiday season, but we know that the Christmas season can be an especially difficult experience for people of all ages and backgrounds. With that in mind, celebrants might want to consider applying the spirit of giving concept to more than just presents. There’s also donating to charity for those of us who have the resources to do so as well as giving of one’s time; show that you are thinking of someone who is alone or who feels alone and is struggling to cope with whatever challenges he or she is facing. Sharing the festive spirit includes being mindful that there are some for whom Christmas does not bring joy.

Another example of wasted tax dollars MP encourages Canadians to speak out To the editor:
Thank so much for your reply Mayor Don Eady and Town of Renfrew Development and Works or should I say lack of works. And another fine example of wasted tax dollars a lovely town flyer with everything we have already read in the free town newspaper other than the part about why the town uses consultants. Now I may not be as well educated as you people apparently are running this town, but I’m guessing that question was not meant to be taken as literal. Probably more like why would you spend $15,000 or so dollars for a consultant to tell you if we need another hotel. Could you not just
drive over to the two we have and ask them how often they are fully booked? If you don’t have the time there are still landlines. It only takes a minute and the best part it’s free. A phone call and an apology for your sewage backups would have been nice as well then again you would probably get tired of apologizing after the third and fourth and so on. Hey, was a consultant hired to tell a certain town employee to tell a neighbor he should call Holmes on Holmes to fix his sewage flooded basement? That’s right, call Holmes on Holmes, really?

I have never seen the sidewalk in the winter. I suppose our safety isn’t much of a priority either. Now I do see the sidewalk plow plowing bare sidewalks plenty, and I’m sure he is following orders. I’m guessing it would be too much to ask to have our sidewalk done once in a while, given 60 per cent of residents are seniors. Oh and you don’t need a consultant to tell you it’s time for a new vote on the pool and ice pad. It’s bad enough we have the government shoving crap down our throats on a daily basis.

Cheryl Gallant, Member of Parliament for RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke, invites constituents to participate in the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. “The recent, high profile murders of Anastasia Kuzyk, Nathalie Warmerdam, and Carol Culleton shine a light on the immediate need for activism against gender-based violence,” said Gallant. “Gender-based violence has devastating impacts on individuals, families and communities. The effects of such violence can be longlasting and profoundly affect many aspects of a person’s life.”

Starting Dec. 4 for 16 days, until Dec. 10, during the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, Gallant is asking everyone to take concrete steps to question, callout, and speak up against acts of gender-based violence. “We all have a role to play in preventing and addressing gender-based violence. Achieving real progress means joining forces with our partners in the community to co-ordinate and multiply our efforts. Everyday sexism and misogyny contribute to violence, with gender-based violence growing out of a culture that devalues women

and femininity—through sexist jokes, derogatory language and media messages that objectify women. It remains a significant barrier to gender equality. Our actions are important for the elimination of gender-based violence,” said Gallant. “Gender-based violence continues to have devastating impacts on individuals, families and communities. By helping to ensure that survivors and others affected by violence are heard and supported – including people from Renfrew-NipissingPembroke – we can contribute to a safer and more inclusive Canada.”

It’s the gift that keeps on giving. The Renfrew Victoria Hospital Gift Shop that is. December marks the shop’s 25th anniversary of serving the hospital and its visitors and to mark the silver occasion they will have a 25 per cent off sale from Dec. 11 to 16. In 2016, the Hospital Auxiliary donated $53,000 to the hospital and of that $20,000 came from the gift shop. “Every cent made here goes right to the hospital,” said Brent Belanger, one of the many volunteers helping out. The gift shop is one of the many fundraisers the auxiliary runs for the hospital. The idea to have a gift shop was entertained by auxiliary members in February 1992 and visits were made to area hospital gift shops by then presidents Rachel Pope and others. The first shop was opened on Dec. 2, with Pope as the first buyer and manager with two assistants. There were enough volunteers recruited to have two on every shift. The shop moved to a different space with a window in 2000 and to the current location inside the main door in 2002 with an expansion in 2015. “It’s grown a lot,” said Joan Hilliard, who was one of the founding members of the gift shop. “It’s turned

ONTARIO ENERGY BOARD NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS OF ENBRIDGE GAS DISTRIBUTION INC. AND UNION GAS LIMITED Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. and Union Gas Limited have applied for approval to amalgamate to form a single gas distribution, transportation and storage company. Learn more. Have your say. Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. and Union Gas Limited have applied to the Ontario Energy Board to amalgamate to form a single natural gas distribution, transportation and storage company effective January 1, 2019. The amalgamated utility would serve over 3.5 million natural gas customers in Ontario. Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. and Union Gas Limited say that their customers will not pay any costs related to the amalgamation and that if the Ontario Energy Board approves the amalgamation, customers will receive a total benefit of $410 million over a ten-year period. The rates that Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. and Union Gas Limited currently charge customers are set using two separate frameworks that expire at the end of 2018. The Ontario Energy Board would normally review the costs of each of the gas utilities to set new rates starting in 2019. In a separate application, Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. and Union Gas Limited have asked the Ontario Energy Board to defer its full review of their costs for 10 years and have proposed a methodology for setting rates from 2019 to the end of 2028 using a formula. The Ontario Energy Board will review this rate proposal in a separate proceeding. You can review the notice and related documents for that proceeding at www.oeb.ca/EnbridgeUnionRateFramework. THE ONTARIO ENERGY BOARD IS HOLDING A PUBLIC HEARING The OEB will hold a public hearing to consider the application filed by Enbridge Gas and Union Gas. We will question both companies on the case. We will also hear arguments from individuals and from groups that represent the customers of both Enbridge Gas and Union Gas. At the end of this hearing, the OEB will decide whether to approve the application. The OEB is an independent and impartial public agency. We make decisions that serve the public interest. Our goal is to promote a financially viable and efficient energy sector that provides you with reliable energy services at a reasonable cost. BE INFORMED AND HAVE YOUR SAY You have the right to information regarding this application and to be involved in the process. • You can review the application filed by Enbridge Gas and Union Gas on the OEB’s website now. • You can file a letter with your comments, which will be considered during the hearing. • You can become an active participant (called an intervenor). Apply by December 20, 2017 or the hearing will go ahead without you and you will not receive any further notice of the proceeding. • At the end of the process, review the OEB’s decision and its reasons on our website. LEARN MORE Our file number for this case is EB-2017-0306. To learn more about this hearing, find instructions on how to file letters or become an intervenor, or to access any document related to this case, please select the file number EB-2017-0306 from the list on the OEB website: www.oeb.ca/notice. You can also phone our Consumer Relations Centre at 1-877-632-2727 with any questions. ORAL VS. WRITTEN HEARINGS There are two types of OEB hearings – oral and written. Enbridge Gas and Union Gas have asked for a written hearing. The OEB is considering this request. If you think an oral hearing is needed, you can write to the OEB to explain why by December 20, 2017. PRIVACY If you write a letter of comment, your name and the content of your letter will be put on the public record and the OEB website. However, your personal telephone number, home address and email address will be removed. If you are a business, all your information will remain public. If you apply to become an intervenor, all information will be public. This hearing will be held under section 43(1) of the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998, S.O. 1998.

RVH adopts tool to help patients better manage after discharge When to take your medication. What symptoms to be concerned about. When to see your doctor next. Being discharged from hospital can be stressful. Recently, the Office of the Patient Ombudsman released its first report to the public. Of the 550 written complaints that the office received last year — one of the top two complaints by patients was concerns over their discharge process. Patient Oriented Discharge Summary (PODS) is a new and proven tool to help patients better manage their post-hospital care and it is alleviating some of that stress for patients and their caregivers. St. Francis Memorial Hospital in Barry’s Bay went live with the initiative in October and Renfrew Victoria Hospital (RVH) will launch the program in the new year. The PODS project was selected for funding by the Adopting Research to Improve Care (ARTIC) program. Funds were received through this initiative for the clinical teams to work with patients and families to implement this initiative. Chris Ferguson, RVH vice president of patient care services and
PODS project lead, notes that this work aligns perfectly with the work all organizations have been doing related to patient and family centred care to improve the patient experience, including the discharge process. Hospital admissions can be stressful and it is important patients get information to ensure a safe seamless transition back home. “The project started with a pre-implementation survey with discharged patients and families to determine how the discharge process could be improved,” says Ferguson. “That information has been used to further refine this tool to meet the needs of our patients. The Patient Oriented Discharge Summary was also reviewed at the Patient and Family Advisory Council to ensure this will make a difference for the patients been discharged from our organizations.” Co-developed by University Health Network’s OpenLab, patients and health care providers, PODS applies best practices in design and adult learning. It provides patients with a set of clear and easy-to-understand instructions upon discharge, helping make their transition home go as smoothly as possible and improve patient adherence to post-hospital care plans. It also offers an individualized and RENFREW'S HISTORIC THEATRE tailored discharge process for each patient.

Keep choral music alive in the Valley
The Ottawa Valley Music Festival (OVMF) has been making great music in the valley for 25 years. Now is the time to renew OVMF, building the board and volunteer base required to continue this tradition, another 25 years. OVMF’s recent choral concert of Mozart and Haydn was a stunning success — glorious music, in a beautiful church with a sellout and very appreciative audience. OVMF has put on almost 100 concerts and workshops since its inception, an amazing accomplishment. It is only through the hard work and commitment of the board of directors and volunteers that this calibre of musical programming is possible. The current board has given their all and is ready to pass the torch. OVMF has a nucleus of people committed to building OVMF into the future. We have a solid financial footing and a good donor base. Mervin Fick, conductor extraordinaire, is committed to working with OVMF going forward. To continue, we need your help. If you are interested in serving on the board, volunteering, or just knowing more, please contact Gordon Harrison at gordonkh@magma.ca or 613-

Women’s Institute book celebrates Canada 150 The Federated Women’s Institutes of Ontario is very pleased to announce their latest publication; this time to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary. The book, Ordinary to Extraordinary: 150 stories as unique as the women who lived them, documents real life experiences of Women’s Institute members. The project started in 2013 when a survey was sent to the 3,000-plus membership for ideas to celebrate Canada’s sesquicentennial year. From this, the Real Life Stories project was created, where Women’s Institute (WI) members were encouraged to write a story or poem of their life. From across the province, 350 stories were submitted. The Canada 150 committee read each story and, after much discussion, 150 stories were chosen. The book was officially launched at the provincial conference in late June. “Local WI members are well-represented with three from Balsam Hill-Horton, two from Calabogie, two from Burnstown, one from White Lake and one from Lorne Sutherland,” said Federation of Women’s Institutes of Ontario Canada 150 chair Irene Robillard of McNab/Braeside. “Sadly, two of these members have now passed away.” There are also a number from North Renfrew District. Robillard chaired the committee to choose and compile the stories and she notes it was published by Burnstown Publishing House. “Locally, the book can be obtained by contacting me at 613-432-6987,” she said. “It would make a great Christmas gift.” Ordinary to Extraordinary: 150 stories as unique as the women who lived them chronicles life in the 20th century from a woman’s point of view. The stories range from a single incident to a full life story; from ordinary life to tragic events; from the horrific to the humorous.
The book documents real life experiences of Women’s Institute (WI) members. There are stories recounting growing up on a farm in the 1900s, with their daily chores, including a poem on picking stones. Who can remember the party line or a shivaree? The fun times are also described; memories of building their own playhouse from scraps of lumber, skating on the frozen pond and dancing the night away at a dance pavilion. Some stories tell of growing up in another country and immigrating to Canada; some with fond memories, others not. There are stories describing meeting the love of their life and anecdotes of married life. Some authors opened their lives to us, telling of tragedies, such as fires and the loss of a child. Other stories recount the role of the WI in their lives; their pride of accomplishments and support for their community. The book, Ordinary to Extraordinary, is published by Burnstown Publishing House. Its 300 pages are fully indexed by author and by subject. The price is $25, plus five per cent tax and shipping. Copies can be obtained by contacting a local WI member, the office in Stoney Creek, Ont., at 905-662-2691, or ordering online at fwio.on.ca or burnstownpublishing.com. An ebook should be available by the end of October. All proceeds go to the Women’s Institutes for their continued work.

Curling breakfast a sweeping success Marg Dawson
The Friday Night Community League is in full swing. This league is perfect for someone who has curled before and for someone who has only watched it from the couch. We currently have team slots available for the 8:30 p.m. draw. This is a great social league. After your six-end game, everyone heads up to the “9th End Bar” for some cold beverages and great laughs. We would love to have you back or come out and try. Please contact Ben Oakes at 613-3129905 or boakes1234@gmail.com for further details. Intermediate Curling Instruction will take place on Tuesday evenings starting Jan. 2 from 7:30 to 9 p.m., and continuing until the end of March. From 7:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. the instructors will be there to help with curling strategy, delivery of the stone and any other parts of the game as needed, followed by a four-end game from 8 to 9 p.m. The cost for this program is $100 if you are a non member and it is free to members of the Renfrew Curling Club. For further information please contact Brian Hewitt at 613-432-4633. The Renfrew Curling Club is one of the clubs that will be hosting the Men’s Tankard qualifier — Road to the Brier on Friday Dec. 15 to Sunday Dec. 17. Once the schedule for these games is known it will be posted. Come to the club and watch some great curling.
The Senior Men’s Breakfast was a resounding success again thanks to support of the members of the club and guests. A few Cobden curlers also joined us for breakfast and a big thank you to them. The breakfast made in excess of $1,000 for the club. Renfrew hosted the Shawville curling club in a friendly bonspiel and lunch this morning. The teams skipped by Leo McCallum against Basil Hodgins and Shelley Jamieson against Jean Landry settled for a tie, but the rink skipped by Brian Hewitt against Andre Barre won with resounding success. Thanks goes to the Shawville curlers and their friendly co-ordinator Helen Routliffe who filled in for our injured cook in serving lunch. Special thanks to the volunteer kitchen staff who provided an excellent lunch for all, despite suffering a minor injury requiring three stitches to close a wound. The team of Rob Warren, Don Rouble, Rory McKay and Andy Humphries took part in the Granite Bonspiel. The defending champs lost both of their games to Buckingham and Kingston. Usually great ice, but squirrelly this year. The team made some bad throws, but got nothing out of a number of good deliveries with wrong ice or picks. The club championship will take place the weekend of Jan. 27 -28. Please contact Laurie Millar 613-432-9050 or Anne MacNeil 613-432-3353 for details. The sign-up sheets are posted at the curling club.

Renfrew Collegiate Institute’s Brett Clouthier comes under heavy pressure from Arnprior during the ninth annual Gordon E. Eady Tradition in Renfrew Nov. 30. The senior Raiders would drop the game 56-36, but the juniors would win 42-34 over Arnprior’s.
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!

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE. The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, December 7, 2017 23
Education is key to bike collision prevention: Renfrew OPP Sergeant Forty-two cyclists were in collisions reported to the police in Renfrew County, and one was killed, between 2012 and 2017, according to figures compiled by the Ontario Provincial Police. Sgt. Rob Guty, of the Renfrew detachment, addressed a meeting on Nov. 2 of the Ottawa Valley Cycling and Active Transportation Alliance (OVCATA), offering detailed analysis of accident reports collected over five

years. Most of the collisions, he said, happened in built-up areas like Petawawa, Pembroke, Renfrew and Arnprior. The only fatality, however, happened on Highway 17 near Petawawa. Drivers, he said, are learning to be respectful of cyclists, but the process takes time. “Education is the way to go,” he said. “There is new legislation that con-
cerns drivers and cyclists, and everyone needs to learn about it.” Some of the most important changes include: — The new one-metre passing law. The penalty for not leaving a minimum one-metre passing distance can be up to $500 for drivers who contest their ticket by going to court. Upon conviction, two demerit points will also be assigned against the individual’s driver record.
— “Dooring.” The new penalties for improper opening of a vehicle door (for driver or passenger) are a set fine of $300 upon conviction and three demerit points. The total payable fine is $365. — Allowing cyclists to use intermittent flashing red lights. Red flashing lights were previously not allowed under the Highway Traffic Act even though the majority of cyclists were already using rear lamps

Guty, so it’s important to take every possible opportunity to educate drivers and cyclists.

In loving memory of Walter (Wally) Dodds We his family are so grateful for having had such an amazing man touch our lives, individually and in his own unique way. He has taught us all so many lessons in life and continues to do so even after his passing. Dad taught us the value of family and peace, the importance of hard work and doing things the right way, “right is right and wrong is wrong”. Dad has always shown his family unconditional love and expected nothing in return. We all knew how much he loved us all and sincerely hope he knew how we admired and loved him. We will miss him everyday… however we know he will always be present in our lives, his love simply changing from physical to spiritual. Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard but always near, so loved and so missed… We wish to send a sincere thank you to all of the staff at Orchard View Retirement Residence, Rev. Trudy Hardy, St. James Anglican Church, Almonte General Hospital and the Ottawa Civic Hospital for the care and compassion you gave our Dad. Rev. James Minn, UCW, Keith Peever and the choir from the Grace United Church, Cobden. Special thank you to our Erin (Sadler) for organizing our family supper. Love and thanks to the seven grandchildren Scott, Steven, Katie, Michael, Connor, Caelan, and Abi who honoured their papa as pallbearers, Papa would be so proud of you all. We wish also to thank all our family and dear friends, for your messages of condolences, floral tributes, donations and love. We are blessed and grateful, thank you.

Their bills are not spoon-shaped but narrow, and the inner edges not lined with sieve-like AUCTIONS AUCTIONS lamellae but with toothlike projections. The reason for the bill structure is that mergansers don’t filter food from water. They eat fish and are highly specialized for doing so.

Cecil always had a trick up his sleeve Mary Cook
Mary’s Memories
Father never banked around the house with snow until he was sure it was there to last. With no foundation, it was just another way for us to try to keep the blasts of winter outside, and now the snow was packed around the house about two feet high. At the Northcote School, everything had been done to keep the one room as warm as possible, and each of us came

bundled up like mummies, most of us having to walk as much as three or four miles to get there. As soon as we got inside, we girls had to take off our overshoes, and the boys their rubber boots, and everything was propped against pieces of firewood, close to the heat, with the tops rolled down. Felt soles were removed and hopefully, everything would be dried out by the time the day ended. It was hard to tell
FOR SALE
who owned what because we all wore the same footwear. That is, everyone except Marguerite. She had white galoshes, trimmed with white fur, which she assured everyone was pure mink! Cecil said there was no such thing as a white mink. But Marguerite stuck to her guns. Mink, it was, and that’s all there was to it! And she refused to have her galoshes anywhere near those of the rest of us. She wanted them
under her desk. Well, Miss Crosby was having none of that. The white galoshes would be propped against the wood, no questions asked. Marguerite, with a scowl on her face, put them at the very end of the row, and made sure they weren’t touching any other pair. And she didn’t roll down the tops either. She said it would harm the mink! Well, Cecil took on that look he always wore when he was planning some das-
tardly deed. It wasn’t exactly a smirk ... more of a grin ... but I knew instantly he was up to no good. He always had his pockets full ... so much so that they bulged out from his overalls, and he carried everything from a couple jackknives to balls of string, a slingshot, and in the summer time he was known to be able to produce a green garter snake on occasion. Goodness knows what he had in his pocket that day, but he kept running his hand over the outside, and you didn’t have to
be a genius to see the wheels turning in his head. Now, Cecil was a sly one all right. He was able to do things without being seen by anyone, and that included Miss Crosby. But I never took my eyes off him that day, and yet I didn’t see him move to perform the deed which by the time the day was ended, had the whole school in an uproar, Marguerite in tears, Miss Crosby turning beet red, the boys in hysterics, and we girls climbing on the seats of our desks.

Our books were put away, and we were all heading for our boots and galoshes. Marguerite, terrified that someone or something might come in contact with her precious white mink, tore to the blocks of wood, reached inside the first galosh, grabbed what was inside, and her screams could be heard in Arnprior! In her hand was a little cotton bag, the kind we kept our marbles in, and it was moving! She flung it to the other side of the room, it landed on a windowsill, and was
still in motion, but whatever was inside couldn’t get out, because the bag was tied tight. You didn’t have to be heavily endowed with brains to know inside was a live mouse, nor you didn’t have to be too smart to know who put it there. Miss Crosby marched down to Cecil, hit him a whack with the ruler, and told him to get rid of it.
