Council closer to picking design for pool, second ice pad Interest groups gather to provide feedback Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

The Renfrew County Therapeutic Riding Program got underway last Friday morning. – Page 26 –

ThereĘźs no guarantee the Town of Renfrew will even build a pool and a second ice surface. But if it does, the public should soon have a better idea what the expanded Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre will look like. Tuesday morning, nine people met to provide feedback on four designs provided by the Toronto ďŹ rm that worked on the original Renfrew arena at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. The local group, which included community members supporting the pool and a second ice surface, as well as recreation director Barclay Mayhew and Mayor Bill Ringrose, offered their feedback. From that feedback, the Toronto company is now being asked to modify a particular design within two weeks. That would be in time for the Renfrew Fair, where the design is scheduled to be shown to members of the public, so they can offer their impressions. Construction and related costs are estimated to cost a very minimum of $10 million. The expanded facility would accommodate a second ice surface to the east side of the current outdoor rink and a pool to the north side of the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. Whatever the cost, the mayor says itĘźs no secret the facility will only happen with provincial and federal ďŹ nancial support. Surveyed members of the public have also indicated theyĘźre not prepared to see a local tax increase of more than one or two percentage points, to help pay for the new facility. At MondayĘźs council meeting, Ringrose said Mayhew would soon provide an estimate of annual operating costs for the preferred design. The choice of a particular option does not commit council to pursuing the project, stressed the mayor. As Ringrose said Monday night, this is a step closer to council deciding if it will proceed with the multi-million dollar expansion – a subject of community discussion, and some dissension, for several years.

MP to seek farmers’ input on assistance at Aug. 27 meeting Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant is hosting a consultation meeting for drought-stricken farmers in Renfrew Monday, Aug. 27. All farmers in the riding are invited to the meeting at the Renfrew Legion at 7 p.m. Gallant is asking farmers to provide suggestions and ideas for the new agricultural assistance framework “to ensure future programs meet the needs of local farmers.” She said that with the worst drought conditions experienced in decades, “it is the time to assess what is working, and what is not. I need to hear how the recent severe weather conditions have impacted the farm operations I havenʼt had a chance to visit yet, so Iʼm hoping for a good turnout.” Gallant noted the input is important since the current program is due to expire March 31, 2013. “Five years ago our federal Conservative government implemented the Growing Forward framework agreement, which laid the groundwork for co-ordinated federal-provincial action to help the agricultural sector become more prosperous, competitive and innovative,” she explained, noting local agricultural producers provided valuable input at that time. She pointed out that the Business Risk Management program suite launched on April 1, 2008 includes: • AgriInvest, a savings account for producers, supported by governments, which provides coverage for small income declines and allows for investments that help mitigate risks or improve market income; • AgriStability, which provides support when a producer experiences larger farm income losses and declines of more than 15 per cent in a producerʼs average income from previous years; • AgriInsurance, a pre-existing program which includes insurance against production

losses for specified perils (weather, pests, disease) and is being expanded to include more commodities; • Advance Payments Program (APP), to help crop and livestock producers with cash flow and provides flexibility for marketing of commodities; • AgriRecovery, a disaster relief framework, which provides a co-ordinated process for federal, provincial and territorial governments to respond rapidly when disasters strike, filling gaps not covered by existing programs. Gallant said from meetings already held with farmers from Arnprior to Whitney, she realizes crops are failing and the livestock producers are particularly desperate as they cannot find hay to feed their animals. “While visiting John Mastineʼs Bar J-M Ranch in Whitney, I was told how extraordinary the drought effects are since decades of genetics would be lost if breeding cattle are forced to go to slaughter,” she said. Mastine called the crisis “worse than BSE,” she added. Gallant said she raised the drought problems with Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz, who told her he is “working closely with provincial officials … assessing the scope of the situation and the need for AgriRecovery (assistance).” Ritz suggested last week that it was “too early to assess actual crop damage and production levels as the growing season is ongoing. While arbitrary time frames have been referenced in the media, farmers can be assured that all parties are working as cooperatively and quickly as possible within the confines of the situation,” he said. The province has asked the federal government to consider providing AgriRecovery funds for farmers hit by the drought, but the assessment will take at least 45 days and some farmers, especially cattle producers, argue the assistance is needed right now.

Town seeking provincial dollars to fix arena roof Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

The Town of Renfrew is seeking federal dollars from a new Community Infrastructure Investment Fund (CIIF) that is geared to improving recreational and community centres. The town was planning to repair its nearly 25-year-old roof of the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre arena in the near future, as part of the townʼs 10-year capital plan. But it is now being fast-tracked, with application to the CIIF that was announced last month. The application deadline is Aug. 24, 2012. The $150 million program includes $49.6 million for Ontario. Funding will be cost shared, with assistance of up to 50 per cent. However, projects requiring only a 33 per cent contribution from the feds will be given priority. All approved projects must be completed before March 31, 2014. The project was on the books to do in 2014, so to get assistance would represent long-term savings, said recreation director Barclay Mayhew. Renfrew may be in good position to receive the funding, since priority will be given to

Could there be money at the end of the rainbow for the Ma-Te-Way Actiivty Centre? Council hopes so, as it seeks federal dollars from a new Community Infrastructure Investment Fund to fix the facility’s roof.

projects that demonstrate anticipated economic benefits to their communities and the use of new technologies and innovation. Last year, an engineering firm determined it would cost about $350,000 to repair the arena roof. The arena is also among a small handful of municipal buildings already identified for potential solar energy development. Mayhew says the estimated cost to fix the roof is $350,000. Factoring in contingency, management and engineering costs, the entire bill would be about $450,000. “Itʼs not for new development,” said Mayhew. “With this opportunity we will apply now …which means we would do it next summer (if we get the money). We have seen cracks in the surface and the engineering firm that did a study last summer indicated it was time to replace it.” Any engineering will be done while keeping in mind Ontario government funding may become available again next fall for solar projects, said Mayhew. “The electrical costs (of arena facilities) are significant and one of the major costs of operations, so it would definitely be in our plans.”

The quality of Renfrew drinking water has changed, but is still safe to drink, says Renfrew development and works director Mike Asselin. Asselin says local drought conditions have altered the chemistry of water entering the water treatment plant, leaving water with higher levels of manganese and iron. These minerals canʼt be removed by the treatment process, but the higher water temperatures and changing chemistry means users will see the water has a higher turbidity (cloudiness) and darker colour. “We have had several complaints about the water,” said Asselin at Mondayʼs council meeting.

“It is completely, 100 per cent safe, but the water quality is changing slightly. Itʼs gotten to the point that weʼre going to meet with staff (Tuesday) to decide if weʼre going to have to do flushing. “I know weʼre in a Level 2 drought, where you aim for a 20 per cent reduction in the conservation of water. But we may have to do some flushing to clear out some of this water from some of the major mains.” With water temperature of 25 Celsius, instead of the summerʼs customary 21 C, there is some accelerated decay of chlorine in the water. Flushing would move chlorine more efficiently through the system and help reduce the waterʼs turbidity

Creator-facilitator Jen Charbonneau of Arnprior will host So Glad 2 Be Me, a selfesteem-healthy body image summer camp, Aug. 20 to 22. The event, for girls ages eight to 12, will take place at the Renfrew Recreation Centre. The mission of this program is to increase positive self-esteem, awareness and understanding of healthy body image within young girls and provide practical tools for managing challenges. “In a world where women of all ages measure their value based on a commerciallygenerated standard of beauty, now more than ever, young girls need to recognize and embrace that beauty, love and self acceptance comes from within,â€? said Charbonneau. “When you have the courage to be yourself, know and value yourself, youĘźll have a sense of purpose and belonging.â€? Overall, the camp is about empowering girls to discover who they are as developing individuals. While implementing ageappropriate information and experiential learning, the girls will be exposed to crafts, games and activities that provide a positive foundation on which to build a happy, healthy self, says Charbonneau. Girls will discover their own uniqueness based on who they are, not what they look like. The summer camp promises to: • Increase self-esteem, • Instill healthy body image, • Reinforce a girlĘźs sense of her purpose and belonging, • Teach girls how not to be inuenced by negative peers and the media, • Reduce stress and provide tools for managing challenges, • Clarify “trueâ€? friendships, • Enhance co-operation & teambuilding skills Advanced registration is required.

Child pornography charges laid child sexual abuse. A 63-year-old Renfrew man os charged with one count of possession of child pornography and one count of distribution of child pornography. The accused was scheduled to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice in Renfrew on Tuesday, Aug. 7. The investigation is continuing.

R0011558645_0816

Members of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Child Sexual Exploitation Unit, OPP Technical Crime Unit and London Police Service have charged a Renfrew man following a three month on-line undercover child pornography investigation. On Aug. 3, 2012 police executed a search warrant at a Renfrew small business premise. As a result of this investigation, one computer was seized which contained images of

County paramedics involved in accident and transported to Pembroke Regional Hospital, with non life-threatening injuries, by an additional paramedic crew dispatched to the scene. The driver of the second vehicle, assessed on-scene, had no medical complaints and refused transport to the hospital. The City of Pembroke Police Service is investigating the incident.

OPP deal with five deaths over long weekend Five people died on roads and waterways patrolled by the OPP on the Aug. 4 to 6 long weekend. Throughout the weekend, the OPP ramped up enforcement right across the province, focusing on aggressive driving, driving while impaired, the wearing of seatbelts and driving while distracted. OPP officers were also highly visible patrolling waterways and trails, targeting those who were not in compliance with marine and trail laws. Over the weekend, four people were killed in three separate collisions on OPP-patrolled roads and one person died in a marine incident.

Town of Renfrew

The OPP laid numerous charges for various offences over the long weekend, including: • 6,559 for speeding, • 96 for street racing, • 432 for seatbelt infractions, • 131 for driving while impaired by drugs or having a blood alcohol content above 0.08, • 174 for distracted driving. The OPP also issued 169 roadside licence suspensions to drivers with a BAC in the warn range of 0.05 to 0.08. The loss of life over the long weekend marks a 26 per cent increase in fatalities over 2011, bringing the number of deaths within OPP jurisdiction to 211, compared to 168 this same time last year.

Kathy Footeʼs two children are now young adults who can fend for themselves, but sheʼs concerned that local youngsters may be targets of the latest type of telephone scam. Foote, who lives in Horton Township, received a phone call Monday afternoon from a man with a thick East Indian accent who asked about the Windows on her computer. When she said she didnʼt have a personal computer, he chuckled and took a different direction, apologizing and saying he was actually calling from Census Canada. At that point, he asked if she had any children. She promptly told him it was none of his business, and terminated the phone call.

The caller, says Foote, was probably hoping to later get a youngster on the phone, during summer hours, who might pass on personal family information from any home computer She called the Renfrew OPP, which redirected her to the regionʼs anti-fraud unit toll-free at 1-888-495-8501. Foote was told that any neighbours receiving similar calls should contact the anti-fraud unit. The Horton resident was also told this is the most recent tactic by fraud artists – targeting children in efforts to get them to open their parentsʼ computers and provide personal information. Foote says her daughter-in-law in Chalk River has received a similar call.

Two-hour parking restriction near ER Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

The last of the townʼs 300 parking meters will likely be removed by next week. The eight meters are located on Grigg Avenue, in front of the Renfrew Victoria Hospitalʼs emergency department. Monday night, Renfrew council unanimously approved two-hour parking limits for the zone, which will be monitored by the company MLES. Before that decision, council had also considered the options of maintaining the eight

meters, leasing the meters to the hospital for a nominal fee, or leasing the meters for a sharerevenue, hospital-enforced arrangement. The eight meters will likely be removed by next week, or after signs are in place to notify drivers of the new regulations for those parking spots. Meanwhile, the hospital plans to enter discussions with the town about a possible gated parking system. This system, which could include Raglan Street North, would be used to accommodate the hospitalʼs new, expanded dialysis facility.

FOREST FIRE HAZARD: Extremely high fire danger.

This is just some of the damage caused July 23 in the Norway Lake area.

ODRAP Continued from front

The amount of trees and bush collected after falling on roads and local properties is 8,000 or 9,000 cubic metres from the Norway Lake area, said Lynch. Thatʼs the equivalent of a 10-foot-deep football field collection of debris, which now sits at the Norway Lake

Pool Continued from front

In the past, discussion often revolved around whether the town needed a pool or a second ice surface more. All four options discussed Tuesday featured a pool and a second ice surface.

transfer station. Negotiations were underway earlier this week to hire a contractor to chip the debris and truck it elsewhere. ODRAP support would mean $2 assistance for every $1 raised by private citizens for repairs. For the township, ODRAP would pay the repair bills for such items as road clearance, emergency personnel support and extraordinary costs incurred.

“We need some relief,” said Lynch. “Hopefully, this will relieve the burden on the township as well as on the residents because weʼre still in a drought. This is creating a fire hazard because of the amount of wood on the ground.” Lynch says the Province is expected to take about a month to determine if ODRAP assistance will be approved. Admaston-Bromley Township also applied for ODRAP assistance Monday.

“Itʼs going to be a major decision. Weʼll look on the capital side and on the operating side, and weʼll go through a debate to see where we should go,” said Ringrose Monday. After Tuesdayʼs meeting, the mayor said: “We have made significant changes since the spring. We now have some designs, and those de-

signs have been reviewed, and weʼre focusing on a preferred design. Hopefully, weʼll be able to bring it before the public (at the Renfrew Fair).” Then, said Ringrose, council will have the decision this fall to decide “if itʼs comfortable enough with the design and the capital and operating costs.”

Mahusky’s royal connection Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Many people have enjoyed this special year of 2012 for the Royal Family as Queen Elizabeth celebrates her reign of 60 years. But for Renfrewʼs Lawrence Mahusky, the Queenʼs milestone year has had a personal significance. Back in 2008, Mahusky made and recorded a CD in Renfrew for the Queen. “I sent it to Buckingham Palace in June (2008),” Mahusky said last week. “Iʼve heard of people sending things to the Queen and getting a response. But you never know, with all the mail she would receive, and with security.” In an amazingly short period of time, Mahuskyʼs question on whether the package containing the CD sent to the Queen was received, let alone, opened, was answered. “I remember going to the post office. I saw my mail, thinking, ʻOh, more bills.ʼ” But when thumbing through, one letter stood out more than the rest. “I went home, sat down and opened it carefully.” It was a letter sent from the Queenʼs Lady in Waiting personally to Mahusky from Balmoral Castle, where the Queen is known to vacation. It was dated August 8, 2008 and arrived in

Mahuskyʼs post office box less than a week later. “I was just so delighted,” Mahusky recalled. The letter read: The Queen wishes me to write and thank you for the letter and present which you have recently sent to Her Majesty. The Queen thought it was kind of you to send the CD and I am to thank you for this gift and for your good wishes which Her Majesty greatly appreciates. “I havenʼt framed it yet. Iʼve been too busy showing it off,” a grinning Mahusky said. “Iʼm just really grateful and very thankful of Her Majesty for receiving the CD and enjoying it. Thatʼs just fabulous,” he added. “And with this being her reign of 60 years, itʼs good to share.” Mahusky saw a glimpse of the Queen in Ottawa a few years ago. “Mom and I went to see her on Parliament Hill. We had a good look of her husband, Prince Philip. We could see the Queen on the other side (in the car) sitting next to him.” But sending his CD to Her Majesty and receiving a reply shortly thereafter is something Mahusky can enjoy for a lifetime. “I have so much respect for the Royal Family,” he said. “She (Queen Elizabeth) makes a

OPINION

EDITORIAL

It’s easy, so plan to donate at next week’s blood donor clinic According to a recent survey, 52 per cent of those Canadians polled said they or someone close to them has needed blood or a blood product for surgery or medical treatment. Each donation of whole blood equates to one unit. According to the Canadian Blood Services website, someone in an auto accident may require 50 units or more. Those suffer-

ing from leukemia may need between two and eight units per week alone. With summer in full swing, and road trips to the cottage and other long-distance destinations in high gear, there are more automobiles and recreational vehicles on the road. That alone increases the risk of accidents and collisions.

According to highway safety and car insurance statistics for the United States, that country sees the most collisions during August and October, followed closely by June and July. These trends would likely be similar in Canada. Local clinics are held regularly in Renfrew, with the next planned for next Wednesday, Aug.

22 at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 148 hall from 2 to 5 p.m. and again from 6 to 8 p.m. The clinic is sponsored by Mackay Manor. Get involved and make a difference, perhaps a life-saving one. For more information on the Renfrew clinic or others coming up in nearby communities, visit www.blood.ca or call 1-888-2-DONATE.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

It’s time to step into the future To the editor: In response to the editorial in your paper condemning the sale of beer and wine in convenience stores, I would like to supply you and your readers with the facts regarding this situation. Itʼs easier for minors to illegally buy a six pack of beer at the LCBO or The Beer Store than it is to buy cigarettes from a convenience store, as proven by a survey commissioned by the Ontario Convenience Store Association and conducted by Statopex Field Marketing in the late summer early fall of 2010. Statopex used professionally trained male and female minors ages 15 to 18 who succeeded in buying alcohol 25 per cent of the time at the LCBO and 20 per cent of the time from the Beer Store. As part of the survey these same minors succeeded in buying cigarettes from convenience stores on 13 per cent of their attempts. As a convenience store owner, I would like to make the public aware that the Department of Health hires and trains mystery shoppers who are minors that attempt to buy cigarettes. Should the minor succeed the store can be fined $5,000 and the store clerk $800. Should the same store receive two fines the Health Department has the right to take away that stores license to sell cigarettes. The Ontario Convenience Store Association has the We Expect ID program that trains retail clerks to properly ask for ID when selling restricted products in compliance with the laws. The Lottery Corporation also has a training program in the use of lottery terminals and has strict procedures used when the clerk checks tickets for prizes. The Lottery also mystery shops us to make sure we are in compliance of their rules. We also must ask for ID when selling fireworks and adult magazines. My question is just this. Who has the most experience and is made accountable for selling restricted products in compliance with more government agencies? Recently the McGuinty government announced plans to spend over $100 million to build 70 new LCBO stores across Ontario. Your argument that more access to alcohol will increase problems caused by this dangerous

drug is a good one. However, it is being ignored by the government. The McGuinty government is also ignoring the publicʼs support of putting beer and wine in convenience stores. At a time when the same government expects Doctors and Teachers to accept a pay freeze and many average Ontarians are struggling to make ends meet they choose to spend millions instead of putting beer and wine in convenience stores at no cost. As The Beer Store is privately owned off shore they would certainly make more money from the convenience store sector. Many rural corner stores already have beer and wine licences determined by the distance from an LCBO. There are already requirements in place regarding space and pricing. No doubt the corner store prices will be higher. However, people want the convenience of buying mix, ice, snacks, cigarettes etc. in one convenient place. What the store owner wants is a way to increase their sales and the number of shoppers in their stores. In recent years contraband cigarettes have become an issue that the government doesnʼt want to deal with. The convenience store owners feel that giving them beer and wine would help to compensate them for lost cigarettes sales. Currently there is a campaign, called Free Our Beer, petitioning Ontario residents for support to put beer and wine in convenience stores. The petition has 112,500+ signatures. When brought to Parliament McGuinty refused to hear the petition in spite of the fact that 71 per cent of the population in Eastern Ontario wants beer and wine in convenience stores. We claim to be a democratic country? To add your name to the petition go to the website www. freeourbeer.ca As our current system for selling alcohol was put in place in 1927, it is time to step into the future and join the many countries who allow privatization of alcohol sales. I thank you for hearing our side of this issue. Yours truly, Eyvind Dahl Valerie Pender Dahl’s Coin Laundry & Convenience

An invitation to Taste of the Valley To the editor: I want to take this opportunity to invite everyone to attend Taste of the Valley this Saturday at the Renfrew Fairgrounds. This year, more than ever, it is very important that we come out and support our local producers who have endured one of the worst years in terms of weather conditions in our history. The drought of 2012 will long be remembered as devastating for many of our local farms, but despite these obstacles, the farming community of Renfrew County will survive. Although they may not have as many products as usual, our farmers and producers still deliver the finest local products at Taste of the Valley!

Once again, the Renfrew & Area Food Bank will be on site accepting both food and cash donations to help out our neighbours who need some assistance this time of year. The summer months are very hard on food banks across the area, so any donation is greatly appreciated. So why not take a few minutes and visit the Renfrew Armouries this Saturday between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. and support our producers. I want to thank the County of Renfrew and Renfrew ProTyre for making this event possible and helping our local producers through a tough year. Sincerely, Reeve Audrey Green Town of Renfrew

A) Yes. It’s important to be a good citizen 50% and sacrifice for the greater good in this unusually dry summer.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Blessed to have Victoria Hospital To the editor: I would like to express my thanks to the staff of our local hospital for their kindness and care to all their patients. In the past three months I have made 14 trips to RVH for various tests and procedures so I feel that I have become rather an expert in observing the care one receives there. I am now recovering well from breast cancer surgery. We are so fortunate to have the skill of our new surgeon in the operating room. Whoever is responsible for recruiting Dr. Krajewski deserves our gratitude. Dr. Miller can rest easy that his scalpel is in good hands.

I didnʼt get to see the new anesthesiologist for very long before he sent me into dreamland but thanks for the nap. I didnʼt feel a thing! The administrative staff is overworked and under-appreciated but they were unfailingly kind and helpful. I found them always in good humor. I think the backbone of any hospital must be the nursing staff. RVH must have the kindest in the country. I just canʼt say enough about the patience and care of all the nurses from pre op to post op. We in this Renfrew area are truly blessed. Karen Cockwell Renfrew

Scare tactics by local MP Gallant To the editor: Scare-tactic comments by MP and Valley Protector, Cheryl Gallant, alleging neglect of rural communities by CBC radio, inspired me to invent a brand new recipe. The “Gallan-wich” begins with one thick slice of record funding cuts to the CBC, punishment for their unwillingness to kow-tow to Ms. Gallantʼs political masters. Over that you layer selective and biased ʻfactsʼ about the CBC, how they have cruelly let down rural radio listeners. Remember to avoid any mention of those awkward funding cuts. Smear the facts with Cherylʼs Own brand of rural sentimentality and self-promotion. To complete the treat, leave off any mention

of the impending application by the Bell-Astral consortium to engorge their already bloated radio-TV-Internet acquisitions. To really enjoy this meal, serve this just prior to the CRTC hearings, where Bell-Astral will try to convince Canadians that the already rural-unfriendly service they provide will not become even worse. Donʼt forget to serve it with a side order of tasteless pap, specially prepared in Toronto or New York. I would recommend some very strong beverage to cover the foul taste of the Gallan-wich and to make it possible to swallow. Ray Parchelo Renfrew The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, August 16, 2012 9

with the gates opening at noon, instead of 4 p.m., on Friday. “The reception to this event has been fantastic,” said Murphy, as Calabogie Peaks is drawing from far and wide, but especially from its three major ski markets of Ottawa, the Ottawa Valley and the St. Lawrence Seaway. “The event appeals to all three markets,” said Murphy. And attendance shouldnʼt be hurt by two free events. Thereʼs a free kidsʼzone (with tons of games), and free musiciansʼ guitar and harmonica workshops for those who register at www.calabogieblues.com Numerous bands will be in the spotlight for the Friday-throughSunday festival, but the biggest draws will be Downchild Blues Band of Toronto on Friday night and the Powder Blues Band of Vancouver on Saturday evening. Lead singer Donnie Walsh is part of Downchild, whose big hits include

steve.newman@metroland.com

Two of the countryʼs biggest blues bands are coming to the area, as organizers anticipate attendance records to be smashed at this weekendʼs Class Axe Guitars Calabogie Peaks Blues and Ribfest. Calabogie Peaks president Paul Murphy and Ed Torres of partnering DAWG FM radio station in Ottawa are confident the festivalʼs year-old attendance record will be shattered. Theyʼre thinking ticket sales will run 12,000 to 15,000, which would easily eclipse last yearʼs attendance of 8,000. As the camping segment of the population increases in future years, Murphy says he expects attendance to go even higher in future years. Festival organizers say they have also kept the event affordable. Tickets range from prices as low as $15 for Friday and $50 for a full weekend pass. Hours are also expanded this year,

Flip, Flop & Fly. Walsh was also the inspiration for Dan Aykroydʼs creation of the 1980 movie sensation, The Blues Brothers. And Powder Blues, established in 1978, keeps attracting audiences after going double-platinum with its very first album, Uncut, several years ago, and attracting more listeners with its other 11 albums. Powder Bluesʼ lead singer is songwriter-guitarist Tom Lavin. “Itʼs a real coup to get Powder Blues in eastern Canada,” said Torres. “Theyʼre only playing three other dates this year and all three are in B.C.” Being a ribs festival, too, four teams will vie for top honours, as the audience gets to enjoy the fruits of the competition. Defending champion Kentucky Smokehouse will challenge the Crazy Canucks of London, Ont., Gator BBQ of Florida, and Horn Dawgs of Ohio. The presence of professional rib-

bers, says Torres, adds a world-class element. “Theyʼre like Olympians as far as pork goes. They take the competition very seriously,” said Torres, alluding to how serious cooking means seriously good food. Itʼs a win-win situation, says Torres: “If youʼre there for the ribs youʼre already there for the music, and if youʼre there for the music, who doesnʼt like ribs?” Torres, whoʼs an organizer of the successful Toronto Ribfest, which just celebrated its 13th year, is a big fan of the Calabogie venue. “This is not a patch-of-grass festival,” he said. “This is a spectacular venue, with the natural amphitheatre hill and the lake and the golf course.” Murphy says heʼs pleased to host a “very unique event in the Ottawa Valley. Thereʼs nothing like this, and the ticket prices are at the low end of the range to attract a broad audience.

“Itʼs not a super exclusive club event.” Organizers were optimistic the townshipʼs fire ban would be lifted for Saturdayʼs scheduled fireworks display. FIRE RESTRICTION, BUT FIREWORKS A GO

The fire ban has been reduced to a fire restriction, which will allow the fireworks to go ahead. The restriction permits also permits campfires within a one-metre by one-metre space. However, the large triangular area, bounded by Murphy Road, 508 and Brydges Road, will remain under a full fire ban at least until Bell Canada phones are completely restored and 9-1-1 capability is reliable.

Musical lineup for 2012 Blues and Ribfest The Class Axe Guitars Calabogie Blues and Ribfest rolls into Calabogie Peaks Saturday, featuring a star-studded lineup, including the Powder Blues Band and Downchild Blues Band. The Powder Blues Band has been Canadaʼs premier blues band for more than three decades. “The Powder Blues Band is the ultimate party band for a blues festival, and weʼre honoured to have them play at Calabogie,” festival artisitc director Yves Trottier says on the Peaksʼ website. Music lovers know the band best for hits like Doinʼ It right On the Wrong Side of Town and Boppinʼ with the Blues. The band has appeared in concert with such music legends as B.B. King, James Brown, John Lee Hooker and Stevie Ray Vaughan. After 40 years, the Downchild Blues Band remains a fan favourite. According to the Peaksʼ website, Donnie Walshʼs song Iʼve Got Everything I Need (Almost) was recently selected as one of the 125 “essential” Canadian songs, and the only blues song on the list. “The inspiration for Dan Aykroydʼs and the late John Belushiʼs famous creation – The Blues Brothers – Downchild is a Canadian institution and is revered by blues fans around the world,” the website says. Other musical acts will include: • Shakura SʼAida won 2011 female artist of the year at the Maple Blues Awards. On the music scene for almost 25 years, she has just won a brand new CD, Time. • British-born Canadian blues guitarist, sing-

er, songwriter and producer Jack DeKeyzer is a two-time Juno winner and has won the Maple Blues Award seven times. He is described on the Peaksʼ website as “one of the finest blues guitarists on the scene today.” His career has spanned more than three decades. • Terry Gillespie was the Ottawa Blues Society Road to Memphis winner last fall. Heʼs been 40 years on the music scene and gained motoriety inn the 1980s with his band Heavenʼs Radio. • Bill Durst, an audience favourite, has written and recorded more than 100 songs on 10 albums, including eight charted Canadian radio hits. • For more than 30 years, Bob Walsh has travelled all over Quebec singing the blues. • Jeff Rogers recently opened for Norah Jones at the Ottawa Blues Festival. Described on the Peaksʼ website as “one of Canadaʼs hidden gems,” Rogers leads a six-piece band with amazing vocals and a tight horn section. • Nashville resident Trevor Finlay, who has been playing guitar since the age of nine and performing in clubs since he was a teenager, returns to Ottawa especially for the Peaksʼ event. • JW-Jones of Ottawa is a top touring bluesman who will present songs from his new CD Seventh. He tours with drummer Jeff Asselin and bassist James Rooke. • David Rotundo is described as “one of the best harmonica players in the country.” • Rocket Rached and The Fat City 8 is a described as “big presence – big sound!” The band includes nine on-stage musicians.

Valley Harmonizers seeking new members Gord Cross Valley Harmonizers

With the new season approaching this areaʼs barbershop chorus is ready to welcome men who love to sing. Starting Tuesday, Sept. 11, the chorus of the Valley Harmonizers will practise at the Renfrew Presbyterian Kirk Hall from 1 to 4 p.m. They especially need a singer or two who have higher voices to strengthen the tenor section, which recently lost one of its two members. Of course, other voices are most welcome to participate in practices with a view to join-

ing the full chorus which last year boasted 25 members. Director Barry Stephen has put together a repertoire which will feature new songs such as I’ve Been Workin’ on the Railroad and It’s A Good Day. The ability to read music is helpful but not necessary, since the chorus provides learning CDs and individual assistance. The chorus sings about three times per month at seniorsʼ residences and also performs fundraising concerts for churches, medical facilities and social organizations. Come and join the harmony!

Taste of the Valley Saturday Bruce McIntyre County of Renfrew

Itʼs Renfrewʼs turn to host Taste of the Valley. Saturdayʼs Taste of the Valley gets underway at 8 a.m. and wraps up at 3 p.m. at the Renfrew Fairgrounds. The seasonʼs first Taste of the Valley took place last Friday in Barryʼs Bay. Taste of the Valley is an exposition of local food, crafts and products that are produced by local residents. Taste of the Valley events are community events that help introduce both visitors and local residents to the many unique agricultural products available in the region. Admis-

sion and parking is free for the event that is sponsored by the County of Renfrew and Protyre. In addition to the amazing assortment of pork, beef, lamb, chicken, produce, maple syrup, honey, ice cream, there will also be many local artists, wood crafters and musical entertainment. The Renfrew & Area Food Bank will also be on site accepting both food and financial donations. The regular Renfrew Farmerʼs Market will also be onsite for Taste of the Valley on Saturday. According to Renfrew Reeve Audrey Green, Taste of the Valley was an incredible success when it debuted here is 2011.

“I was amazed at the number and quality of local products introduced last year in Renfrew. We are so fortunate to live in an area that produces such an incredible array of farm products and arts and crafts as well,” said Green. “I hope everyone takes time to visit our neighbours at the Renfrew Armouries this Saturday and support those people who not only work on their own farms and businesses, but also provide employment for other residents.” For more information, or to register for this event, visit www.countyofrenfrew. on.ca

NATURE

Your Community Newspaper

Mary Steele observed a song sparrow catching ants and rather than eating them the bird rubbed the ants on its feathers. She also saw the birds crouching on top of active ant hills and she wondered if this behaviour was natural or was she seeing things. We can assure Mary that she was not seeing things, Anting, as it is referred to, is a common practice among 148 bird species. This is behaviour in which the fluids from ants, notably formic acid, are applied to the plumage and possibly the skin. There are two basic types of anting: active, in which the bird rubs an ant through its feathers, and passive, in which the birds allows the ants to move among its feathers depositing the acid. Some species, in unnatural situations such as in captivity, will perform active anting with burnt matches, moth balls, mustard, and many insects other than ants. Research has shown that the formic acid found in ants destroys feather mites and that anting is used as a defence against the mites. Dusting and bathing are also natural forms of feather care used by birds. AN UNUSUAL BIRD

Hi Ila and Jim: About a month ago, we sighted a bird with a black body, bright orange wing

SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE

WOOD THRUSH

bars, with orange underside, but he was gone too quickly to make a positive identification. We have a bird bath along with plastic containers in the rock pile in our yard. This little bird not only showed up for a drink, but had a bath in one of the containers. We had a really good look at him and have discovered that he is an adult male American redstart. What a lovely bird! Chuck and Terry Pierce Thank you for your e-mail. This is truly an attractive species. They are very secretive during the nesting season but when the young fledge they travel as a family until the young become independent. The song is a high pitched series of sweet, sweet, sweet notes all at the same pitch. We will not hear this song again until next spring. UNSKILLED

Tom Hanson has a young hawk spending its time at the Hanson home in the Braeside area. It is able to fly but does not seem to be able to hunt successfully. Tom has placed food out for it but the bird has not responded. It allows Tom to approach within a few meters of it and is tolerant of his presence. On Sunday morning

Mary Steeele

A song sparrow “anting”. the bird was standing in four inches of water in the Ottawa River when Tom found it. It is still capable of flight. We will be seeing a number of situations similar to this as young birds of prey begin to hunt on their own. The parents will help them for a while but eventually the young have to fend for themselves and their hunting skills are not very efficient. If you try to catch an injured bird be very careful that you do not injure it further, a bird of prey with a broken wing will not survive. If you are able to restrain them, place them in a cardboard box and transport them to the Wild Bird Care Centre in Nepean, Ont. Call first at 613-828-2849 and ask for May. They are open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The mailing address is P.O.

Beverly Kellar had a visit from a wood thrush this past week. During the nesting season we hear this species more often than see them. Their bright, cheery flute-like song is very common just at dusk. Look for the bright cinnamon upper parts. The breast, sides and flanks are white with large, round black spots. FAMILIES GATHER

Mary Steele has families of chickadees, brown thrashers, white and rose breasted nuthatches, blue jays, flickers, kingbirds, robins, goldfinches, ruby-throated hummingbirds, red-winged blackbirds and common grackles coming to her feeders. She is feeding sunflower, Niger seed and some mixed seed. The adults will be leaving the young to go to a quiet place to moult where there is an abundance of food and good shelter. The young will then gather in flocks for the trip south. We will be able to enjoy them for a few weeks yet.

MENT PLAN: The Department of Finance has published the loans made under the Home Improvement Plan in cities and towns of 5,000 population and upwards to June 30, 1937. The total loans for all Canada as of June 30 were18,103 amounting to $6,843,096.95. Renfrewʼs part in the HIP is gradually increasing with something more taken up every week. Renfrewʼs total of borrowing has increased from May 30 when it was about $3,000 to $5,000 on June 30. There have been many improvements made in property without the aid of borrowing on the HIP. RENFREW FAIR PRIZES: The directors of Renfrew Fair are leaving nothing undone to make this yearʼs fair a memorable one. Considerable interest has already been manifested in the three cars that are to be drawn for and of which more will be said later. Membership tickets are now available and as the price of these have been reduced to $1 a large increase in membership is looked for. This ticket entitles the holder to exhibit in any class and also has attached four admission tickets which can be used by anyone. When these admission tickets are presented at the gate, a portion will be returned to the holder and will serve as proof of paid admission when drawing for cars takes place.

LIBRARY TO OPEN SEPT. 3: At a meeting of the board of managers of the Public Library last week, it was decided to re-open the library to the public on Sept. 3. The work of re-cataloguing has now been finished, and the card packets that are part of the recording system are being placed in the books. To assist the librarian in dealing in a more business-like way with the public, a wicket is also being put in. The rules have been revised by secretary Geale, and this revision is now being conned over by other members of the board, and the result of combined wisdom will be put in force on the re-opening. YOUNGʼS GRANDDAUGHTER IN POLITICS: New Liskeard Speaker Mr. Rowell, on coming forward after Mr. Mahonʼs neat introduction, was presented by a litter daughter of Dr. Young, with a beautiful bouquet. Mr. Rowell said: “Mr. Mahon has spoken of the responsibilities of the public man. While the public man has his compensating, I did not expect mine would come so soon.” As he said this, he held up the flowers. Mr. Rowsell then entered upon his address, which was an excellent one, indeed. For a man who has been so short a time in the district, he certainly showed that he is an able man, and a thinker.

cil on Monday wiped out an earlier ruling that property on Baldwin Street adjacent to Our Lady of Fatima School be given to hydro for a proposed sub-station. Mayor Lyons Ringrose reported that a site at the end of McAndrew Street will be purchased for that purpose. Mayor Ringrose called it “the only sensible site” and said negotiations for the site will begin immediately. Earlier this year the town approved the transfer of town

Veterans protest nine VAC offices closing On July 25 the Armed Forces Pensionersʼ/Annuitantsʼ Association of Canada called on the Conservative government to immediately reverse plans to close nine VAC district offices across Canada. Veterans in the nine communities impacted will have to rely on a toll-free number and impersonal service, or try to manoeuver through a complex website for disability claims, assistance with medical needs and more. The Harper government has made cost cutting a priority over providing hands-on, caring service for those who have fought and served our country. Retired CF personnel, veterans and their families are speaking out against this injustice, but with no response from our federal government. The nine district offices are located in Charlottetown, Sydney, Corner Brook, Windsor, Thunder Bay, Brandon, Saskatoon, Kelowna, and Prince George. The closures of these offices are indicative of the less-thanadequate value appropriated to veterans and the sacrifices they have made for Canada and for other Canadian citizens, said a news release from the association.

fiercely for its historical contents. In small rural communities across Renfrew County, the general store was not only a place to buy things but also a hub for news, gossip and story-telling, as flavourful and sweet as the scoopfuls of candies sold over the counter through the years. Growing up above the store gave the Bulger sisters insight into the storeʼs dayto-day operations and the lives of its customers. They are delighted to share with people their memories and to show some of the memorabilia from it. The talk is free and open to the public. Residents are encouraged to bring photos and their own memories of the store. Refreshments will be served.

For more than a century, Bulgerʼs General Store was a landmark of Bromley Township and a centre for its community. The Bromley Historical Society is pleased to have the three Bulger daughters – Joan, Betty and Ann, who grew up above the store – give us a glimpse into the history of this important Bromley meeting place. Their talk will take place on Saturday, Aug. 18 at 2 p.m. in the old town hall, 498 Micksburg Road, Osceola. The store opened around 1880, established by Michael Bulger and his wife Ellen (née Sheahan). Over the years, it was operated by the next generation – first, Lornie, father of

the three speakers (from 1933 to1960), and then Carmelita, their aunt (from 1960 until she decided to close the business in 1986). The store also held the post office and was appropriately called the Bulger Post Office. At that time, mail was delivered to the store from Cobden by special courier and, as there was no home delivery, local residents picked up their mail when they visited the store to purchase goods. In 1910, the store became one of the first of three subscribers in the Township to the newly installed Bell telephone line. Following its closing, the store was the site of a famous auction, as residents of the Township and former customers bid

Ontario Works employees receive pay boost, benefit reduction in new deal after months off the job John Carter

10. A back-to-work protocol was agreed upon in afternoon and evening talks between the two sides Aug. 8 after County council unanimously approved the contract that morning. “It is my understanding everyone is back to work today (Aug. 13),” Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack said while delivering his county council report to Arnprior council Monday. Stack reported the contract is for five years, calling for a 7.03 per cent increase for workers over that period. That works out to 1.406 per cent per year, he explained.

John.carter@metroland. com

Renfrew County’s Ontario Works employees will receive a 10 per cent wage boost over five years, but a reduction in benefits drops the increase to about 7 per cent. The details of the new deal were released last week after Renfrew County council ratified the deal, 16 days after the workers, members of CUPE Local 4989, approved the agreement. The Renfrew office, closed for the most part since the workers went on strike May 10, reopened with normal hours last Friday, Aug.

“I think that is behind us and we (county) are not sorry to have that behind us,” he said. The raises for the workers, who are paid between $38,000 and $59,000 annually, include a $1,000 signing bonus, with a 2.5 per cent boost in 2012; 2 per cent in 2013; 2 per cent in 2014; 2.5 per cent in 2015; and 3 per cent in 2016. However, with the cost sharing of benefits re-negotiated, the social services budget bottom line increase on wages and benefits will drop to 7.03 per cent, or 1.4 per cent annually over five years, the county explained.

The new contract includes a phased-in cost-sharing for benefits over the course of the five-year contract, standardizing the short-term disability to match the benefits of other County of Renfrew CUPE employees. It also shifts the costs of long-term disability from the employer to CUPE employees at the end of the five-year contract. Currently, the county assumes 100 per cent of the long-term disability costs, but they will be phased in over the next five years so that CUPE employees assume 100 per cent of the costs in 2016.

The workers’ reluctance to take on full cost of disability insurance and the proposed reduction of benefits were the main sticking points to reaching an agreement. In reporting the details to county council, the County of Renfrew negotiating team advised they were able to “achieve the parameters of the mandate set out by council heading into negotiations.” County Warden Bob Sweet thanked the negotiating team for its efforts to carry out the instructions of County council. “We are pleased with the ratification of this contract today (Aug.

8),” he said. “Whether it is a strike or a lockout, the ratepayers and residents of the County of Renfrew are inconvenienced. On behalf of all of county council, I want to thank the residents of our county for their patience over the last few months during this labour disruption.” Offices in Pembroke and Killaloe joined those in Renfrew and Arnprior in providing full customer service last Friday. The offices are open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday, and closed for lunch from noon to 1 p.m., except for the Pembroke location.

Decisive first RCG titles for Brown and McDonald Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

It was no contest. Cooper Brown of Renfrew led another teenager, Tim Lemoyre Jr., 19, of Kinburn by nine strokes at the turn, and pulled away to easily capture his first-ever Renfrew Golf Club championship Sunday. Brown, who aspires to turn pro in the sport, left no doubt who was the deserving titlist. He posted rounds of one-under 70 and 71, for a 36-hole score of 141, leaving Rob Warren second in 149 and Lemoyre third in 151. But rewind to Saturday afternoon and Warren held the early lead, with no hint that Brown, 17, would run away with this event. Third-place Lemoyre, whose previous season was handicapped by a broken collarbone, was thinking second place was a possibility after lowering his handicap this season from six to two. He shot rounds of 76 and 75 to finish five shots ahead of fourth-place Steve Mulvihill, who was 82-74–156. In tipping their hats to the champion, Lemoyre and Warren

both alluded to Brownʼs solid, consistent play. “I knew I was going to have to be really on top of my game to stay close,” said Warren. After a solid start to day one, Warren admitted to finishing weakly, with a 75. He then did the same Sunday, going fourover for the last five holes despite a birdie two after hitting within four feet on No. 17. Warren couldnʼt blame his irons, though, after hitting an impressive 15 greens in regulation Sunday. “Iʼm happy, but I still have work to do,” said Brown, who won handily despite missing short birdie putts on No. 16 and 17, and three-putting the 18th for a par. He didnʼt really get his game into gear the first day until late. BACK-TO-BACK BIRDIE AND EAGLE

Warren birdied the 13th for a two-stroke lead, but Brown started to take control when he drained a 40-footer on the parthree 14th and eagled the 15th, with another right-to-left putt, from 30 feet. “It just means a lot to me,” said Brown after clinching the menʼs title. “I was really excited to play against Rob. It really feels good to play my best golf and beat him.” But thereʼs little time to enjoy the victory, for the next day he began defence of his OVGA city and district 14-18 match play title. That event was scheduled to wrap up yesterday (Wednesday) at the Mississippi Golf Club. Warren, 63, emerged as senior champion of the Renfrew Golf Club. Other male division winners were Bud Lance, B division winner by three strokes with rounds of 79 and 83; C division winner Stu Stark by four strokes with an 85 and clinching 78; D division champ Reg Scully, 93-94–187 to beat John Wilsonʼs pair of 94s; and John David, the super senior menʼs titlist. He shot 168 with two 84s.

Cooper Brown, 17, of Renfrew was up against 10-time Renfrew Golf Club champion Rob Warren. But it was no contest. The teenager, who just misses this birdie putt on the 15th hole, left Warren a distant second.

WOMEN’S CHAMPION

Kim McDonald of Renfrew smacks a fairway wood on the 18th hole en route to her first-ever Renfrew Golf Club championship. She trailed former champion Lisa Smith with nine holes remaining before rallying to win decisively.

Former champion Lisa Smith led the womenʼs open division with nine holes remaining, but the title was still for the taking. Kim McDonald was a stroke back and Anne MacNeil and Mary Peer were both two strokes off the pace. But Smithʼs final-nine 46, including a muffed chip on the 15th hole, left her alone in second place at 174. She put together rounds of 86 and 88, while McDonald went 88-83 for a 171. MacNeil and Peer would finish further back, in fourth and fifth respectively. Critical to staying in the hunt was McDonaldʼs sixth hole where she mustered a par-four despite hitting her second shot up against a tree in tall grass. Somehow, she used a seven-iron, on her third shot, to reach the front of the green, where she holed an eight-footer for par. Over the last few years, McDonald, now 54, has been in the final threesome on day two, but this is the first time she has prevailed for the womenʼs open title. “I was a little shaky around the green, but I didnʼt get in any trouble off the tee,” said McDonald, whose best holes on day

two included a birdie two on the fourth hole. “Iʼm so happy itʼs over and the weather co-operated,” said McDonald, knowing stormy-weather predictions came true as close as downtown Renfrew, but not on the course, where only a little rain fell late in the final round. FINE FINISH

Having a personal best of 81 in tournament play, McDonald was very pleased to close with an 83. “Wonderful,” she said about winning the title. “Iʼve been waiting for this for a long time.” The win also made her the familyʼs second club champion. Her dad, Gerry Lemenchick, was the menʼs open champion in the mid 1950s. In the other womenʼs divisions last weekend, Faye Warren took the senior womenʼs title. She also placed third in the open championship with her 89-86–175. The B division winner was Alexa Legris, who shot 94-95–189, while Bev Mau took the C division with a 36-hole score of 221.

Women persevere for themselves and a nation Iʼll add my two cents and say congrats to the womenʼs soccer team on bringing home the bronze medal from the London Olympics. After the way they lost to the Americans in the semifinal, many teams would simply have rolled over. Iʼve seen hockey teams do it. But not this group of ladies. They refused to lose. The timing also couldnʼt be better. Canada hosts the next womenʼs soccer World Cup in 2015. Still with the Olympics, what do you consider to be the most unique

PETER CLARK PETER’S PUTTERINGS sport? There have been a few, as well as other strange happenings, over the years. Rope climbing took place in the 1896, 1904, 1906, 1924 and 1932 Olympics. Club swinging occurred in 1904 and 1932. Tug-of-war was an Olympic event from 1900 to 1920.

In 1912 in Stockholm, the first electric timing devices and public address system was used at the Olympics. Ralph Craig ran in the 100 metres for USA in 1912. He next competed in the Olympics with the USA yachting team in 1948. In 1928 Australian rower, Henry Pearce, stopped halfway through his race to let a family of ducks pass in front of his boat. The French competition overtook him, but Pearce managed to get back in front and win the gold.

Polandʼs Stella Walsh, (Stanislawa Walasiewicz) won the womenʼs 100-metre race at the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles, becoming the first woman to break the 12-second barrier. When she was killed in 1980, an innocent victim in a robbery attempt, an autopsy declared her to be a male. Games of the Olympiads VI, XII and XIII were each cancelled because of War. Their numbers were not rescheduled. Because of this there have been only 27 celebrations, by Olympiad XXX.

In wrestling, at the Stockholm Games in 1912, the light heavyweight final between a Swede, Anders Ahlgren, and Finlandʼs Ivar Bohling lasted nine hours. Since neither had gained an advantage over the other, no gold medal was awarded. Both received a silver medal. Motor boating was an official sport at the 1908 Olympics. It was frowned upon because the competitors were often out of sight of the watching crowds. Polo was played at Olympics in 1900, 1908, 1920, 1924, and 1936.

Pauline Deslaurier (aboard Mischief) and Dan Laplante (with Wylie) of Community Living Renfrew County South enjoy their rides in the ring last Friday. They are accompanied by volunteers. Renfrew County Therapeutic Riding Program co-ordinator Keryl Banks looks on from the centre of the ring opening day.

Therapeutic program underway at Victory Farm Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

ItĘźs a dream come true, but thereĘźs still lots of work to do as the Renfrew County Therapeutic Riding Program continues through its second week. The program started last Friday morning at Victory Farm, a short ride from the Northcote community centre. Donations of time and product have helped build the riding ring and accompanying facilities, but the program will also rely on volunteers. Some volunteers have come forward, but more are needed, says program co-ordinator Keryl Banks. One of the volunteers is Foymount teenager Laura Gordon, who attends Opeongo High School. “I volunteered with my mom (Pat) to collect my community hours (for high school) and because I wanted to do

something with animals,â€? said the youngster while helping out in the ring last Friday. Other volunteers were also in the ring, along with two riders from Community Living Renfrew County South – Dan Laplante, who was apparently riding for the ďŹ rst time, and Pauline Deslaurier. Each got to ride a horse, then brush and feed them afterwards. “The relationship they develop with their horses and their surroundings gives them patience and a chance to care for someone else,â€? said Community Living support worker Nicole Brown. Mischief (a Welsh Cob) and Wylie (an Appaloosa Belgian cross) are the horses used in the program, which is available for males or females who are physically or mentally challenged. The $35 charge for one-

hour sessions goes for upkeep of the facility and horses. “IĘźm overly excited with the positive response and help IĘźve had. ItĘźs exciting this is ďŹ nally going to happen, and I can see it growing quickly and all the people itĘźs going to beneďŹ t.â€? Banks, a long-time rider who is certiďŹ ed through the Canadian Therapeutic Riding Association, says those beneďŹ ts include “freedom, happiness, (a sense of) achievement, strength, skills, conďŹ dence. “ItĘźs just good having something thatĘźs special, because thereĘźs such little recreation (for people with developmental challenges). “To have a friend in a horse, and to have a social setting where they get to meet people and horses, the beneďŹ ts are just so large.â€? Banks says the program is geared for those ages two

and older, for “anybody with physical challenges, such as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, stroke, brain injury, and developmental challenges like Down Syndrome. The program is also open to kids with ADHD and children at risk.� Sessions will be Friday mornings, Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings until the program closes down for the season in late September. The summer season will be followed by an October ridea-thon. The top prize for participants collecting pledges will be a saddle. Details about the therapeutic riding program appeared in the June 14 Renfrew Mercury. You can read it at www. yourottawaregion.com. Type in A little gentle, equine therapy in the search bar.

Will that be 18, 50 or 100? Cyclists from across the Ottawa Valley will challenge themselves to ride either a 50-km short course, a 100-km long course or an 18-km family ride to the Bonnechere Caves this Sunday. This community event brings together like-minded riders to celebrate cycling, promote bicycle safety and raise money for local charities. Organized by members of the cycling community, the Aug. 19 Tour de Bonnechere is sponsored in part by GearHeads (Petawawa), the Bonnechere Caves (Eganville) and Road ID. The $20 registration fee per person provides the tour distance of oneʼs choice, a barbecue and social gathering. Check-in is at Eganville Legion Field Park, at the south end of town, at 8 a.m. The tour distances all start at 9 a.m. The barbecue and social is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. Tour route maps are available at tourdebonnechere.blogspot. ca/ For more details, contact Erin Whyte at 613-635-3495 or email canyth2o@gmail.com.

Ready for their swim across Golden Lake are, from left, Jane Zohr, Joanne Hoelke and Alison Collins. Zohr’s brothers-in-law James and Ozzie provided a pontoon escort and encouragement for the ladies who proved setting and achieving goals is not just for Olympians but for everyone. The three ladies have been swimming outdoors daily and have set their sights on other lake crossings this summer. Collins is a former chair of the Renfrew Recreation Committee and strong supporter of the long-time Renfrew dream of an indoor pool.

Inspired effort

After meeting at the Eganville arena to watch hometown hero Melissa Bishop run at the 2012 Olympics in London last Wednesday morning (Aug. 8), three local ladies jumped into Golden Lake for an impressive swim from Kasdorff Cottages to Hoffman Beach. They covered the estimated two-mile swim in one hour, 16 minutes. At the finish line with their starting point far off in the distance are, from left, Joanne Hoelke, Alison Collins and Jane Zohr.

The Renfrew County Roller Derby League is looking for additional players for the 2013 summer season. “Our league is growing but weʼre still looking for more people to come out and join the fun,” notes player Marnie Mosseau-Barr, aka Murphy SmackManus. “We need skaters, referees and officials (men and women, 18 and over). Anyone who is interested in derby is welcome to come and check out one of our practices.” Most of the leagueʼs practices are held at the Beachburg Arena, although a few have also been held at the Ma-TeWay Activity Centre, including one Aug. 2. “We donʼt have our website up yet, but folks can find us on Facebook at www.facebook. com/RenfrewCountyRollerDerby. We announce practice times and answer questions,” Mosseau-Barr added. “We can also be contacted by email at renfrewcountyrollerderby@ gmail.com. “No roller derby experience is necessary, just a great attitude,” she added. “For some of us, this is the first time being involved in a sport and most of us had

Renfrew County roller derby players have a laugh at a recent practice in the Beachburg Arena. never been on roller skates. We teach you everything you need to know.” Roller derby offers many benefits to the women playing by building better physical health as well as elevating confidence and self esteem, Mosseau-Barr pointed out. “Derby leagues are also highly involved in fundraising efforts. Once we get our league built and weʼre actually playing for crowds, weʼll be giving back to the community that helped build us. I think

a lot of folks still see derby (and the girls who play) as rough. Although it is a contact sport, a lot has changed over the years. There are rules and regulations in place to ensure the safety and well being of all players, refs and officials.” The league is in search of assistance to help get them through the upcoming winter season when it comes to practices. “Weʼre looking for a space to practise for the winter (starting as soon as possible) since all the ice surfaces are going down this month in the arenas. Any of the obvious larger spaces are already full or reluctant to rent to us, so weʼre scrambling to find a home. Iʼm sure there has to be someone in the Renfrew County area with warehouse space that could rent to us but a Google search only takes you so far,” Mosseau-Barr said. “The ideal space would be 73ʼ x 108ʼ, perhaps in a warehouse or something. Weʼd love to hear from anyone in Renfrew County who might have such a space that they could rent to us on a weekly basis.” Check Facebook or the leagueʼs email site for more information.

This summer, as Canadaʼs elite athletes ready for an exciting new chapter, the Canadian Paralympic Committee and Pfizer Canada are honouring Canadaʼs Paralympic athletes with a free, inspirational e-book. Parents, teachers and families can download Kids of Action, a free online book dedicated to Canadaʼs Summer Paralympic team. Audio formats of the book

and e-book versions are available online at morethanmedication.ca and through a link at paralympic.ca. Created by award-winning author and former school teacher Cynthia Pratt Nicolson, the stories honour Canadaʼs most inspiring athletes by showing how their unwavering belief in themselves can encourage us all to reach for our dreams. “This e-book reminds us

that action is the critical element that energizes dreams,” says Canadian Paralympic Committee CEO Henry Storgaard. “Kids of Action illustrates that while it takes courage and tremendous perseverance to achieve your goals, anything is possible when you truly believe.” The 2012 Paralympic Games take place in London, England Aug. 29 to Sept. 9..

Amateur Wrestling Club (RAWC) members had plenty to cheer about during the 2012 Olympic Games, especially in their own sport. Strong Canadian showings included Caroly Huynh’s bronze medal, at left. RAWC were also cheering for friend Martine Dugrenier who, takes on Karori Icho of Japan in the 48-kg. quarter-finals. Dugrenier finished fourth.

Olympics: many thumbs-up, few thumbs-down STEVE NEWMAN STEVE’S SIXTH SENSE The Olympics are about excellence, but not only excellence, hence that qualifier when mentioning some of my personal highlights from the Games of the XXXth Olympiad. There was a pile of thumbs-up, including a certain American swimmer, Michael Phelps, and Canadian judoka Antoine Valois-Fortier, who defeated the defending Olympic champion and other stars en route to capturing a totally unexpected bronze medal. But many other moments also resonated. From a longer list, here are a few of mine: • The astonishing support in the Ottawa Valley for local Olympic middledistance runner Melissa Bishop, and her own professional grace despite her inability to advance into the semi-finals from the opening heats. • The silver medal for the articulate, flat-water kayaker Adam van Koeverden

of Oakville, Ont., after the recent frontpage feature in Cottage Life. The magazine profiled the Olympic medallistʼs discovery and purchase of a dilapidated, old cottage in Algonquin Park. Van Koeverden already had one gold, one silver and one bronze medal from previous Olympics, before reaching the podium again at the London Games. As he said after capturing his fourth Olympic medal, “I can find the silver lining in silver.” • Simon Whitfield for coming to the rescue of injured, last-place Paula Findlay, whom some critics said shouldnʼt have been there in the first place because of her lack of fitness. Also a big thumbs up for his selection as Canadaʼs flag bearer in the opening ceremonies. • The Canadian womenʼs soccer team high-performance, never-say-die attitude against the U.S.A. and then France, en route to a sensationally dramatic bronzemedal triumph. • The Canadian equestrian teamʼs fifth-place showing despite the questionable ruling to disqualify Tiffany Fosterʼs horse.

It was Aug. 8 and Dai Bassett of Valley Heritage Radio was standing outside the Eganville arena talking about the “golden girl” and other golden moments. He had already dubbed Melissa Bishop the golden girl in his song that he shared with 700 other happy souls prior to watching the Eganville Olympianʼs race in the first round of the womenʼs 800 metres. But he went another lap, calling the emotions of that race and the support from the Eganville area one the most stirring events heʼs ever witnessed. As an aside, he mentioned that his daughter, Emma, a university student, had a recent brush with Olympic gold. She was in Toronto before the Olympics when she met Canadaʼs future Olympic gold medallist and trampolinist Rose MacLennan, a friend of one of Emmaʼs friends. MacLennanʼs victory was the only official gold struck by Canadian athletes at the London Olympics, but there was no shortage of proud moments and distinctly, if you wish, golden moments with or without medals.

Olympics Continued from Page 32

The ruling left the Canadian team virtually shorthanded, with their three riders to other teamsʼ four riders in the Nations Cup jumping. • Teenager Kerani Jamesʼ runaway track and field victory in the menʼs 400 metres for Grenadaʼs first-ever Olympic medal. James also became the first non-American to break 44 seconds, en route to capturing Olympic gold in 43.94. • Double-amputee Oscar ʻThe Blade Runnerʼ Pistorius

of South Africa. It remains highly contentious if this man of bone, muscle and steel has an advantage over rivals made of just bone and muscle. But he is a fantastic ambassador for athletes, disabled or not, for his attitude and well-spoken commentes about his involvement in sport. • RONAʼs advertising segments during the games, for its ingenuity and inclusion of so many different sports. A highlight was the TV ad that had a string of athletes (including a high jumper, archer and kayaker) transporting a screw driver – thatʼs right,

a screwdriver – across the country. The last member of the ʻrelay squadʼ performed several flips before handing the screwdriver to a fellow worker, only to be asked if he had a hammer too. • The strong performances by Canadian women who have been to Renfrew and still rub shoulders with young Renfrew-area wrestlers, like London Olympics fourthplace finisher Martine Dugrenier of Montreal. • The announcement that CBC has won the broadcasting rights for the next two Olympics. While the consor-

tiumʼs coverage for the 2012 Olympic Games was decent, immediacy and insight was lacking in some sports. There was also a distinct lack of recognition of several sports, including shooting, archery and equestrian dressage. Whether that changes with CBC remains to be seen. There were several disappointments, like the shortlived celebration of a Canadian track and field bronze medal in the menʼs 4 x 100-metre relay, as the P.E.I. athlete on the third leg was disqualified for running on the line inside his lane. But disappointments are

Canadian menʼs rowing crew failed to defend its Olympic eights title. Not so! Defending a title means one shows up and competes, win, lose or draw; winning a second straight title means you successfully defend that title. The Canadians not only defended the title, by the virtual fact eight rowers and coxswain Brian Price competed in the final. but they rebounded in amazing fashion. After a disheartening showing in the heats, they rallied for one of the most stirring silver-medal performances of the Games … and another golden moment.

inevitable in the Olympics., There were few thumbsdown, but there were these: • The bad officiating or rulings that tarnished Canadian athletes in equestrian, boxing and womenʼs soccer. Like Canadian Olympic team vet Dr. Sylvie Surprenant said, “In our opinion the horse (Victor) was fit to compete, as he showed no signs of lameness. ... While the FEI rules … were followed, we believe that there should be a review of this protocol.” • Tiresome misspeaks by journalists about title defences. One radio reporter said

From Kerry, Chris, Marianne, Sam & Charlie SPARLING, Minerva In memory of our mother, Minerva Sparling You were a precious gift from God above, so much beauty, grace and love. You touched our hearts in so many ways, your smile so bright even on the bad days. You heard God’s whisper calling you home, you didn’t want to go and leave us alone. You loved us so much, you held on tight, till all the strength was gone and you could no longer fight. So you gave your hand to God and slowly drifted away, knowing that with our love we will be together again someday. We love you and miss you.

NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS

I remember the day I met you, And the day God made you mine, I remember the day God took you, And will till the end of time. We made our vows together, Until death do we part, But the day God took you from me, My whole world fell apart. Sometimes I think I’m dreaming, I can’t believe it’s true, That I can go on living, When I no longer have you. And the memories of the happy years, When we were together; The joys, the tears, the love, the fears, Will stay with me forever.

Sunscreen advice For parents who want to protect their children from the sun this summer, but are puzzled by confusing sunscreen ratings, Ontarioʼs doctors can help. The sun protection factor (SPF) in sunscreens gives a general indication of how long we can expect to be exposed to the sun before burning, but very high SPF ratings of 80, 90 or even 100 are only marginally more protective. The protection is not linear. For example, an SPF of 60 does not offer double the protection of an SPF of 30. In fact, an SPF of 15 offers 93 per cent protection while an SPF of 30 offers 96.7 per cent protection, and an SPF off 60 offers 97.7 per cent It is also important to note that SPF only measures protection against UVB and does

not measure UVA protection. Because we know UVA rays are also harmful, sunscreens that are broad spectrum with coverage for both UVA and UVB rays are the most protective. “You canʼt always count on kids to stay in the shade or wear sun protective clothing, so sunscreen is essential,” said Dr. Doug Weir, president of the Ontario Medical Association “We hope keeping parents informed will help them make the right choices when purchasing and applying sunscreen.” Helpful tips include: • Wear sun protective clothing and a hat. • If you or your kids are going to be in the sun, use a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF 30 or greater. • Apply liberally and reapply at least every two hours. * Sunscreens can never fully waterproof. Be sure to apply more often if swimming.
