High hopes for seniors’ housing Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Peter Fischer of Matawatchan and family members have donated a small parcel of land that should help make Greater Madawaska Seniorsʼ Housing Corporationʼs first units a reality. The donation of just over an acre of land was announced Sunday afternoon before an audience of more than 100 people at the Matawatchan Community Centre. The announcement was made at the not-for-profit corporationʼs annual general meeting. “We feel that giving back to the community is very important,” said Fischer, who says the donation was made in memory of his father, Alois Fischer. Because of its community theme, Peter says his dad would have loved the project. Alois, who died in 2005, and wife Josy, whoʼs still living, were foster parents of more than 30 children. They were also seasonal residents in nearby Vernacher for more than 40 years. See HOUSING, page 2

Thank goodness for insurance. Regarding two charges by the Ministry of the Environment, Justice of the Peace Ivana Baldelli has found the Town of Renfrew guilty of the lesser charge and not guilty of the higher charge. She made her ruling Friday in Pembroke, where Ottawa solicitor Roger A. Harris represented the town. On hand to hear the verdict, at the end of the eight-day trial, was Renfrew director of development and works Mike Asselin. The trial was based on the Aug. 20, 2008 rupture of a rubber-lined, steel

storage tank holding ferric chloride in the townʼs old wastewater treatment plant. Ferric chloride is used to remove phosphorus, which causes an unfavourable growth of algae in the water system. The cost to defend the town against of the charges was more than $100,000. The townʼs good news from the trial was perhaps three-fold. One, the town pleaded guilty to the lesser charge, of failure to properly maintain the ferric chloride storage tank that ruptured. The fine was $15,000. Fines for that guilty verdict can range from nothing to $250,000. Two, JP Baldelli ruled the town not guilty of the charge of allowing ferric chloride to impair the health of the

Bonnechere River. The fine, for similar charges, can range from $50,000 to several million dollars. Three, insurance covers about $100,000 of the townʼs defence, because of the not-guilty ruling. Therefore, in the end Renfrew will pay some legal fees and the one fine, instead of entire costs ball-parked at $135,000. DURING CONSTRUCTION OF NEW PLANT

At the time of the ferric-chloride tank rupture, Renfrewʼs new $30-million wastewater treatment plant was being built next door. Construction of the new plant began in 2007, but it didnʼt open until August 2009.

The day of the rupture, Asselin says staff members of the Ontario Clean Water Agency contained the ferric chloride within 35 minutes, to prevent a release into the river. In the trial, Asselin says the town argued that the ferric chloride had not reached the Bonnechere, since the processing would have taken three or four hours. “We certainly showed that the spill was handled in a manner that isolated the spill to the internal workings of the plant,” said Asselin. Staff subsequently repaired the lining of the tank at a cost of $15,000. Replacement of the now obsolete tank would have cost about $150,000.

Guilty Continued from front

Ironically, said Asselin, since thereĘźs no stated limit on the amount of ferric chloride allowed into the waterway, there was no contravention of the plantĘźs certiďŹ cate of approval. The JPĘźs decision may have been facilitated, said Asselin, by the townĘźs stellar environmental record since the wastewater treatment plant opened in the 1960s. Reecting on the case, Mayor Bill Ringrose said he thought “it was inappropriate for the Ministry (of the Environment) to force this to court. As the justice of the peaceĘźs statement concluded, this was

not the type of conviction that would normally proceed ‌ It was certainly not good use of our (more than) $100,000 in defence.â€? On the lesser charge, the mayor said the town knew it had not properly maintained the tank. “ItĘźs fair enough we have to put up a small amount of money as restitution,â€? said Ringrose. “The fact we were found not guilty on the other charge ‌ was very appropriate. “What it all boils down to is the town was acting very responsibly,â€? said Asselin. “In having a new $30-million plant constructed, the townĘźs whole upgrade program was being done with the endorsement of the Ministry of the Environment.â€?

GREATER MADAWASKA SENIORSĘźHOUSING CORPORATION

iSolara shines more light on solar Focus on potential projects Steve Newman

steve.newman@metroland.com

The Town of Renfrew is now deciding if it will pursue proďŹ table solar-energy projects through the Ontario Power Authority. The OPA had put a stop to the program, shortly after Renfrew made four applications to the program last year. But that moratorium has been lifted, and the OPA is now accepting new applications for projects to be linked to the energy grid. The Ottawa ďŹ rm, iSolara, had processed the four townĘźs four previous applications. iSolara ofďŹ cials attended the Sept. 10 meeting of town council to provide details on modiďŹ cations to the provincial program. The town indicated several months ago that requests for proposal would be undertaken to determine which company does phase two and phase three of the solar projects. The phase-one application process, which was undertaken by iSolara, cost the town about $60,000. There was some local criticism by parties that included the Renfrew and Area Chamber of Commerce, knowing that one of the two unsuccessful applicants was Renfrewbased OVG. The cost to reapply to the OPA would cost about $1,500 per application, said iSolara vice-president of sales and marketing David Cork. He was accompanied at the Sept. 10 presentation to council by vice-president of operations Henry Schroder. Since the last applications, construction costs for solar panels have dropped 16 to 21 per cent, but the prices per kilowatt of energy created have also dropped signiďŹ cantly, said Cork. iSolaraĘźs original estimate of solar panel construction for the four buildings was $3.4 million, of which $2.8 was for the Innovation Centre. Payback per kilowatt hour has dropped for the feed-in tariff (FIT) projects from 71.3 to 54.8 cents for projects generating 10 to 100 kilowatts. Projects generating 100 to 500 kilowatts offer tariff rates of 53.9, down from the previous

63.5 cents. Cork also noted that projects with community or aboriginal ownership are now given priority points, which would not be the case for Renfrew. However, he pointed out that Renfrew would earn points, for such factors as project readiness, municipal council support and pre-existing applications after July 2011, “but not enough to be at the front of the line,â€? said Cork. ThereĘźs also a ceiling on the number of projects that will be approved this year. The ceiling is 200 megawatts. Another series of projects would be available in 2013. If the town were to reapply to do solar-energy projects at the Innovation Centre, Ma-TeWay Activity Centre, the water plants and town hall, the total annual revenue would drop from the previous projection of $752,000 to $629,354. As Cork said, all four Renfrew sites have very positive ďŹ nancials. The annual revenue indicated would result in revenues over the 20-year contract with OPA of more than $11.7 million, said Cork. Payback on construction would range from 5.8 years for the Innovation Centre to 8.2 years for the town hall. Cork also pointed out that certain Ontario communities are more suitably placed to link to the grid, Renfrew being one of them, but stressed thereĘźs no guarantee the applications will be approved. This will be based on availability to the grid, he noted. As for RenfrewĘźs involvement in proďŹ table solar energy, Mayor Ringrose suggests it might not be through all four projects this time. “WeĘźre deďŹ nitely going to have to spend some time in the next month to see which of these projects lend themselves to support, relative to ďŹ nancial considerations.â€? “WeĘźre deďŹ nitely, as a council and staff, going to have to take a look at this in detail.â€? iSolara recommended that Renfrew reapply to OPA between Oct. 1 and Nov. 30, 2012. At this time, iSolara recommended no engineering work be done until the OPA offers the town any notice of contract(s). “ItĘźs a different program; with the ceiling you just donĘźt know,â€? said Schroder. “At the end of the day we want to make sure the community is successful at getting projects,â€? said Cork, stressing that iSolara will deďŹ nitely bid to do phases two and three.

As residents of Scarborough, they were recipients of the Ontario Medal of Good Citizenship. The donated land is instrumental to local efforts to build affordable housing for seniors, said Pastor Bill GrifďŹ ths, of Calabogie, who was elected the corporationĘźs president Sunday. “This means we now have some property. This means a huge hurdle has been overcome. This brings the dream closer to reality.â€?“Keeping seniors in the community is our mission,â€? said outgoing president Bill Beacham, of Calabogie. The corporation was established in 2010, but has had a working committee in place since 2009. With land to work with, the seniorsĘź housing corporation has now started its fundraising campaign. The anticipated cost to build the ďŹ ve seniors apartments on Eastern Avenue, in the village of GrifďŹ th, is $600,000. GrifďŹ ths says the goal of the fundraising campaign would be $300,000, with the other half coming from an anticipated low-interest provincial government loan. Look for the campaign to last up to 18 months, said GrifďŹ ths. “I know there are dreams for it to be shorter, but realistically I think itĘźll be 12 to 18 months,â€? said GrifďŹ ths, noting there will be at least one fundraising event before Christmas. SundayĘźs well-attended meeting also featured council members and Greater Madawaska CAO Allison Holtzhauer who helped ip burgers. The fundraising campaign will focus on garnering various sorts of support. As a news release from the seniorsĘź housing corporation indicated, “Support of all kinds from the whole community, including monetary, building materials, heavy

equipment and volunteer time, will make this project a reality.â€? Council members in attendance included Glenda McKay, who sits on the corporationĘźs board of directors. GrifďŹ ths says she has taken the lead to help the corporation move through the bureaucratic steps to get the shovel in the ground as soon as possible. SundayĘźs announcement is critical for seniors who wish to remain in the township, said GrifďŹ ths. “What we were seeing is that the pioneers, or what some call the super seniors, couldnĘźt afford to stay in their homes because they were too expensive to maintain. If we can build housing that is affordable, we can keep them in the community and keep the generations connected.â€? GrifďŹ ths said the housing corporation enters the fundraising campaign on an optimistic note. “If the community wants us, the community will buy into it.â€? Mayor Peter Emon thinks similarly. Despite the presence of many fundraisers within his township and across Renfrew County, Emon added, “I think itĘźs going to be successful because the campaign has its own merits and its own audience.â€? Emon said he hopes the townshipĘźs ďŹ rst affordable housing project becomes the springboard for at least 20 living units in both the GrifďŹ th and Calabogie areas, to reverse the “hollowing out of smaller communities. When seniors sell their homes and leave the area, their houses are often bought by seasonal residents. “This represents a loss of volunteers and participants in events throughout the year.â€? So the mayor is optimistic there will be good support for this project. “ItĘźs good to keep seniors in their homes because itĘźs good for them and itĘźs good for the community,â€? said Emon.

The Renfrew fairgrounds is transformed for the eighth annual Car Show for Dad.

More than $3,000 raised at 2012 Car Show for Dad Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Itʼs an annual event that raises funds for a great cause and puts a host of vintage and modern vehicles on display for car lovers of all ages. The eighth annual Summerʼs End Car Show for Dad was held Saturday, Sept. 15 at the Renfrew Fairgrounds. There were 224 entries in this yearʼs show, said organizer Ray Beimers. About $3,200 was raised for the Canadian Cancer Society. “Weʼre really pleased,” said Beimers. “Especially since there were two other events going on and the weather forecast was less than favourable, weʼre very happy with the turnout and weʼre extremely happy with getting eight big rigs into that category, which was added this year.” Beimers said he heard positive comments all around.

“We had a favourable response from participants and attendants,” he said. The ninth annual Car Show for Dad will take place Sept. 14, 2013. For more information visit Renfrew Car Show for Dad on facebook or send an email to renfrewcarshowfordad@gmail.com AWARDS

Three engineering or road construction projects way under budget Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Renfrew has awarded three contracts for road construction or engineering work that will lead to more construction. Each project is well below budget estimates. Renfrew council awarded a contract of $28,500 plus HST

to Greenwood Paving for repairs to the sidewalks at the intersection of Veterans Memorial Boulevard, Hall Avenue and Raglan Street South. The Pembroke companyʼs quote was almost $18,000 lower than the only other company bidding on the project. The townʼs approved 2012 capital budget included

$20,000 for sidewalk repairs to the so-called Confusion Corner. The remainder of the funds will come from savings of $23,890 on another sidewalk-repair project, during resurfacing of Bruce Street this summer. The work at Confusion Corner is needed, given that sidewalk condition has re-

sulted in claims for damages in the past. Failure to do the needed work, said staff documentation, would make it difficult to defend against additional claims. QUEEN STREET CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO EXP.

Renfrew is paying much

less than the estimated budget for engineering studies for construction work on Queen Street. The contract of $48,200 plus HST is well below the budgeted $130,000. The Dillon Report, on the townʼs asset management system, identified reconstruction of Queen Street as Renfrewʼs highest www.mcnabbraeside.com Telephone: 613-623-5756 Toll Free No. 1-800-957-4621 e-mail: info@mcnabbraeside.com

infrastructure priority. Since no provincial or federal funding is available at this time, the funds will come 23 per cent from taxation, and 38.5 per cent each from water and wastewater budgets. Five quotes for the request for proposal ranged from $37,001 to $93,744. However, staff recommended the company exp., based on technical and financial proposals and what was considered to be best overall value for the town. JENNET STREET ENGINEERING

During its Sept. 10 meeting, council awarded a second engineering-services contract that was also well under budget for storm-drainage work on Jennet Street. Jennet Street residents approached the development and works committee last year to seek assistance, to eliminate flooding in their neighbourhood. Due to overloaded sanitary sewers and overland flow, flooding has been excessive. The townʼs request for proposal resulted in six proposals. The winning proposal came from BTE-Sanchez Engineering, whose bid of $25,610 plus HST, was well below the townʼs budget of $42,000. The highest bids were more than twice than of BTE-Sanchez Engineeringʼs proposal.

Tim Hortons is bringing more smiles to communities across Canada with the annual Smile Cookie fundraiser, beneďŹ tting local charities from coast to coast. For one week, Tim Hortons restaurant owners will generously donate all proceeds from sales of a special smiling chocolate chunk cookie to local charities. The $1 treat will be helping charities, hospitals and community programs in the cities where they are sold. What began as a way to help raise funds for the Hamilton ChildrenĘźs Hospital in Ontario in 1996, has grown into a major fundraising event across North America. In 2011 alone, the Smile Cookie campaign raised nearly $4 million across Canada and the United States. Nationally, Tim Hortons restaurant owners support more than 345 local charities through the campaign. “The beauty of the Smile Cookie campaign is that this national fundraiser works on a local community level,â€? said Bill Moir, Chief Brand and Marketing OfďŹ cer, Tim Hortons. “The cookie you buy at your local Tim Hortons will beneďŹ t a charity in your own community. The success of the Smile Cookie program starts with our loyal guests. With their support and with the generosity of Tim Hortons restaurant owners, we are able to help local community organizations do what they do best - help those in need.â€?

In a Renfrew Mercury story of Aug. 9, it was pointed out that the Thomsonville Cemetery is in need of ďŹ nancial help. The story observed the work of the volunteer board. “Trimming and maintaining family plots would lessen the load on our already overworked volunteer staff,â€? cemetery board chairman John Steele said. Omitted in the story was the work of Andrew Kasprzak of Greengo Grass Grooming, who has been performing the grooming service for the past four years at a courtesy cost, well below market value. “HeĘźs been there for us and has done an exceptional job,â€? Steele said last week. “HeĘźs really helped us out.â€? “The cemetery is maintained by us as another park in this end of town, as many visitors come from far away and many local visitors ďŹ nd lots of tranquility there during their daily walks,â€? Kasprzak said. frewĘźs 62 kilometres of water mains will likely be initiated by early October. The process should take three or four weeks, says development and works director Mike Asselin. This ushing is intended to eliminate the discolouration caused by the buildup of manganese, a natural element that has appeared in increasing amounts in local water mains since mid-summer. Manganese reacts with chlorine in the water to create the discolouration. “ItĘźs not a health issue; itĘźs just an aesthetic issue,â€? said

The other clear well will be cleaned within the next week or so, as part of routine maintenance. Then, staff members will start the ushing of the townʟs 62 kilometres of water mains. Staff will dechlorinate the water before discharging it through the hydrants around town at a rate of about 1,500

Residents will be notiďŹ ed in The Mercury, and on the townĘźs website, when their part of town is being ushed. At those times, residents will be asked not to do laundry and practise other higher-water uses. Meanwhile, if residents ďŹ nd higher-than-normal discolouration in their water, they are asked to run their water until the brownish hue dissipates or disappears.

“Going Miles for Healthy Smiles!” R0011353306

Karen Maxwell of Renfrew Home Hardware Building Centre is a big supporter of the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village, which in turn is a driving force behind physician recruitment to the area. Maxwell chairs the health services villageʼs fundraising committee, which will soon share an “exciting” announcement. Sheʼs not saying what exactly, but it could be to announce that another doctor or two have been recruited. Already, six have signed on the dotted line in the last two years, with the goal to recruit another eight in the decadelong campaign. Three of six recruits are already on the job locally, and the other three will be shortly. Part of the enticement is a $25,000 payment to each recruited physician for six consecutive years, to help pay for medical school and other training-related expenses. The goal is to bring 14 doctors to the area, because of the dire need for family physicians and increasing number of local doctors who have retired or who plan to retire soon. The incentive program will cost $2.1 million, of which the health services

village is committed to raising about $700,000. A portion will come from the sales of the glass coasters. They are being sold at Renfrew Home Hardware Building Centre, the Renfrew Scotiabank and the municipal offices in Admaston-Bromley and Greater Madawaska. The four municipalities participating in the Renfrew-area physician recruitment are Admaston-Bromley, Greater Madawaska, Horton and Renfrew. The sets of four, laminated in plastic, cost $15, including HST. They feature photographs of the participating municipalities. None of the 48 submitted photos were of Admaston-Bromley, so two were selected from Horton. Two photos are by Shawn Green of Renfrew, one of the Bonnechere River in Renfrew that is entitled Light at the End of the Tunnel. His other is of a kayak heading into the sunset on the Ottawa River, just off the Horton shoreline. Rick Brown of Calabogie took the photo of the towering Eagles Nest in Greater Madawaska Township.

To fence or not to fence? Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Renfrew council had requested developer Derek McGrimmon return fencing and basketball nets that were taken down during construction of 15 new apartments at 167 Bruce St. The former Victoria School was renovated last year, and several residents say they like their new living quarters, including the wheelchair accessibility ramp and parking space they have at the west side (or Albert Street) side of the building. The trouble is that town council has already requested that the fencing and basketball nets be returned to the property that borders McGrimmonʼs building at 167 Bruce St. Council is trying to abide by the terms of the agreement by which the town received the entire block of land that is bordered by Bruce, Raglan North, Elgin and Albert streets. The entire bloc is nearly three acres, of which about 1.8 acres, was to remain open and available to the public. At present, that property consists mainly of an open park that is seldom occupied, according to local residents, and space that previously included the basketball court, fencing and an unpaved entrance for cars.

During reconstruction, a smaller section of fence was taken down, but since then town council asked McGrimmon – in accordance with an agreed site plan – to build a fence that runs the entire width of the property, from Bruce Street to Elgin Street. The town has a court-ordered 1990s agreement that the property will be used for no other purpose than a public square, says town clerk Kim Bulmer. To change that use, the town would likely incur legal costs while seeking agreement from the public school board. “Itʼs a landlord-tenant issue right night. Weʼre just a neighbouring landowner,” said Bulmer. Residents opposed to returning the fencing include David Mee, who moved in last September with his wife, Wendy. McGrimmon was actually starting the job of replacing (and extending) the fence when Mee asked him to hold off. Mee knows that if the fencing goes up, cars would be prevented from parking at the west side of the building next to the wheelchair ramp. Instead, they would have to park around the corner of the building, another 50 metres or so away. Mee attended the Sept. 10

session of town council to briefly discuss the issue with council members. Mayor Bill Ringrose suggested there isnʼt yet strong grounds for council to change its stance. However, he said Mee was welcome to make a presentation to council Sept. 24. Mee said he would. Last week, Mee and other residents at 167 Bruce St. met with the Renfrew Mercury to express their concerns. “Iʼm just trying to look after our special needs,” said Mee, alluding to the limited mobility and medical needs of many of the residents. “I think itʼs stupid,” says resident May Hoffman of the townʼs request to return the fencing. “Iʼd like to see them leave it as it is. Weʼre mostly senior citizens and we have to bring groceries in,” she said, saying the more distant parking lot would be problematic. “We really desperately need this space for parking,” says resident Marcella Cybulski, who uses a walker to get about after undergoing serious knee surgery. “Iʼd like to see it stay the way it is,” says resident Wendy Mee. “I have arthritis really bad.” Meanwhile, McGrimmon says he can still rebuild the basketball courts farther from the building. If some parking

Steps you can take to keep the virus at bay in Renfrew County It has been gone for a number of years, but itʼs far from forgotten. West Nile Virus, that nasty bug carried by mosquitoes and transmitted to humans through their bites, has reared its head again late this summer. Parts of the southern United States have been hardest hit, with more than two dozen people losing their lives as a result of the disease in north Texas. The city of Dallas even went so far as to declare a state of emergency over the situation.

It appeared Canada might be spared, but reports from Ottawa Public Health recently proved that wonʼt be the case. Two area residents have contracted the virus, and other cases may be reported. Fortunately, there have been no reported incidents in Renfrew County in 2012. There were two positive cases of local residents who each contracted the virus outside the county several years ago. Last month, a news release outlined ways residents can reduce their chances of contract-

ing the potentially life-threatening virus. Homeowners can certainly do their part, by removing standing water on their property, which is a proven breeding ground for mosquitoes. Given the heavier rains in the past week or so, remaining vigilant is a key to keeping the bugs at bay. Residents can also take various precautions to ensure they donʼt get bitten. To start, wear light-coloured clothing. This includes pants, long-sleeved shirts and a hat to minimize the amount of exposed skin.

Also key is the use of appropriate amounts of DEET in mosquito repellant, thus 20 to 30 per cent. Keep in mind that children should wear a repellant with DEET concentrations of only six to 10 per cent. Also, try to limit outdoor activities at dawn and dusk, when mosquitoes are most active. And stay within a screened area, if possible, when sleeping outdoors. Lastly, be aware that such ʻrepellantsʼ as citronella candles and bug zappers are only mild deterrents.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Fixed it before it broke: reader To the editor: In review of the recent letter from Christina Edgar, several issues come to mind. The bright idea to move the farmers market came from the vendors: by a vote. First and foremost there was a safety issue as the tents on both sides of the tiny narrow street were not leaving enough room for people to pass through the centre avoiding the tie downs to secure these tents (eventually someone will be running or just not see the lines and trip and fall). Secondly it was noted that there was not enough room for parking for the vendors, let alone the patrons to park in close proximity to their tables. One might ask why the vendors need all the room – well a table only holds so much of the cakes and pies etc. to be sold. The sun and the rain play havoc with fresh baking and vegetables thus the tents are required. The tie downs are required as a precaution for wind. Secondly the parking down town is at best very limited as to only main street; especially now when you can park for three hours so no one moves till they have too. The farmers market was also moved to generate more traffic, which it has, more people

are going to the fairgrounds as there is more parking room and there is a greater visibility there to see the vendors as they are not piled on top of each other. Although you may walk to the library at or after 10 a.m., which is when it opens, Scotts Hardware and other stores on the main street open some as early as 8 am. Thus the parking spots are quickly taken. I am also sure that if you do your grocery shopping at Metro after all your shopping you will hail a cab for the trip home. As stated in this newspaper, the rate from the fairgrounds and Metro to your home is exactly the same price - $7. As for the road at the fairgrounds to walk on; it is no worse than any other street in this town for walking on. Upon hearing a lot of chatter from the vendors; there are only a couple of vendors that appear unhappy with the move, most are thrilled! They have accomplished what they set out to do: make it a safer environment and to allow the market to expand for your benefit. I believe in this case. They fixed it before it broke. Good for them. David W. Church Renfrew

Preferred downtown market location To the editor; Like Christina Edgar, I do not think it was such a bright idea to move the Farmers Market to its present location. The small town community feel is missing, bigger isnʼt always better. Even though the new location is closer to my

home, I think the Railway location was more central for more people. If you want to support buy local, make it more accessible. Theresa Cybulski Renfrew

When does human life begin? To the editor: On Sept. 26, 2012, Motion 312, tabled by MP Stephen Woodworth will be voted on, calling Parliament to look at the legal definition of when a child becomes a human in the womb. If the motion is passed, it will commission a Parliamentary committee to take a second look at Canadaʼs 400 year-old law that currently states that we are not human until after we have completely exited our motherʼs womb. This means that children in the womb have no rights up until the point of complete birth. Our MPs will decide if updated medical sci-

ence proves that a child in the womb is in fact human life. Psalm139:14-16 says, “Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvellous and how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born.” Why not let your MP know that your life, which is so precious, began at conception. Pastor Rose Leclaire Mount St. Patrick

Web Poll POLL RESULTS

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION

Should municipal taxpayers help establish dog parks in Arnprior and Renfrew?

Which side is to blame for the National Hockey League lockout?

Yes, it’s important to have a place in town where dog owners can let their pets get a good run off the 60% leash.

A)

A) The owners. Hockey is flourishing and

B)

B) The players. They are well paid and they

No, dog parks are not a good idea, as most owners can’t guarantee their dogs will behave at all times when free to play 0% with other dogs. Dogs should be kept on the leash at all times when not in a fenced-in enclosure.

C) Municipal governments should

help encourage pet owner groups to 20% set up dog parks, but there are more important matters to spend tax money on.

D)

If townspeople want to give their dogs a good run, they should take them out in the country.

20%

why shouldn’t the players get a significant share. Fans come to see them, not the owners.

should compromise to ensure the owners make a decent return on their investment.

C)

A pox on both their houses. If they really cared for the fans, this dispute would have been settled long ago. It’s time Canadians spent more time and money on movies, music and meditation and less on hockey.

D)

Who cares. If I want to see hockey, I’ll check out the junior B action. At least those players are doing it for the love of the game, not the money.

EDUCATION

Reid School of Highland Dance

The providing of extra-curricular activities by teachers is a hit-and-miss affair in Renfrew County. While some elementary school students are missing out on some of their extracurriculars, such as crosscountry running, in other schools, including most area high schools, it’s business as usual. To show anger at having teachers’ collective bargaining rights taken away, the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) has asked its members to consider taking a “pause” from voluntary duties such as coaching and supervising clubs. However, it’s leaving the final decision up to individual teachers, meaning some schools are offering extra-curriculars and some aren’t. For example, parents say all the usual extra-curriculars are being offered at McNab Public School, but most aren’t at Walter Zadow in Arnprior. Some long-standing extracurricular programs are still being offered, but it’s not likely any new ones will be forthcoming this semester. The sports teams at Arnprior District, RCI and St. Joseph’s high schools have not been affected, with the football season beginning Tuesday and volleyball, basketball, rugby and cross-country running soon to follow suit. As members of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association have agreed to a new deal offered by the prov-

ince (although the local board hasn’t finalized the local agreement yet), the county’s Catholic schools are not affected by teacher withdrawal from extra-curriclulars. That doesn’t mean the teachers are happy with the Putting Students First legislation passed by the provincial government last week, imposing settlements on them. Many of the teachers wore black to school Sept. 12, a day after the legislation passed. Close to 100 teachers, support staff and family members held a ‘Rally for Rights’ in the rain last Friday at RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski’s constituency office to protest Bill 115 and their MPP’s vote for it. Yakabuski was away from the office, but has received several letters and emails from teachers on the issue. “The bill represents an attack on all workers’ rights,” said Allison Ryan, president of the Renfrew County local of the EFTO. A letter to Yakabuski from local Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation (OSSTF) president Jeffrey Barber of Admaston-Bromley said he viewed Yakabuski’s vote with “profound sadness and confusion.” He noted the MPP had criticized Bill 115 as “a political manoeuvre by the Liberals to create a crisis and win some by-elections,” but yet supported their bill, he wrote. “How can the Conservative party support a Liberal agenda? “If all the Conservatives wanted was a wage freeze, why did you not let OSSTF

negotiate a contract when OSSTF had already agreed to a wage freeze? You want to save the Ontario taxpayers money, but this legislation will cost them millions as it is dragged through the courts and found to be unconstitutional.” Barber echoed Ryan in calling the legislation a fundamental attack on workers’ rights. “Neither the Conservatives nor the Liberals campaigned in the last election to remove Canadian Charter rights from the citizens of Ontario,” he wrote. “Where did the Liberal-Conservative alliance get the mandate to remove worker rights? “We will not forget how you (Yakabuski) stood to support the Liberals and this unnecessary and illegal legislation.” Ryan said in response to the “extraordinary and unwarranted” bill and the “unprecedented attack of collective bargaining,” elementary teachers are limiting their volunteer activities and introducing McGuinty Mondays. On Mondays, they are coming to school half an hour before the first class and leaving half an hour after the last one, she explained. As a result, they are not participating in before- or after-school meetings of any kind. However, the moves are “absolutely not” affecting school yard and bus supervision, she stressed. “We’re still doing everything needed to ensure the safety of our students.” Ryan said that with the taking away of their sick days,

teachers need to do more to ensure they look after themselves, so they don’t get sick. As a result, they shouldn’t overextend themselves by taking on extra duties, especially on high stress days and when contagious diseases are being spread at school, she added. “They have to focus on their own health too.” She suggested the government “created a crisis” in a desperate bid to try to win back a majority through the two by-elections. The premier insisted the Legislature reconvene to pass the legislation prior to Sept. 1, yet it wasn’t approved until Sept. 10, she noted. “And in the meantime, all the teachers returned to class Sept. 4, just like they had always planned … there was never any talk of a walkout.” As well as banning lawful collective bargaining activities in the education sector for two or three years, Bill 115 seeks to put the actions of the provincial government beyond the review of the Ontario Labour Relations Board, outside the reach of the Ontario Human Rights Commission and even above the courts, says the EFTO. It was imposed before education unions had the opportunity to bargain in a meaningful way with local school boards, so the teachers will challenge the constitutionality of the law all the way to the Supreme Court, Ryan said. She also noted teachers will be taking the strike vote postponed in late August as another way of expressing their anger at the legislation.

Kidney Walk Sunday, Sept. 23 from Ma-Te-Way Park Valley residents whose lives have been affected by kidney disease will walk Sunday, Sept. 23 to increase awareness of a cause very close to them, while raising funds to support the Kidney Foundation of Canada. Area dialysis patients, transplant recipients, living donors, families, friends and renal professionals will converge on Renfrew as part of a large movement across the province, with more than 40

communities participating throughout the month. Participants will gather at 10 a.m. Sept. 23 at Ma-Te-Way Park for this areaʼs walk. About 1.5 million Ontarians have, or are at increased risk of developing, kidney disease. There is no cure – patients with endstage renal disease rely on life-saving dialysis treatments several times a week, and many join thousands of Canadians

waiting for a kidney transplant. The Kidney Foundation of Canada funds leading kidney research projects, peer support programs, emergency financial assistance and advocacy on behalf of kidney patients to help ease the burden of the disease.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Mean-spirited comment

A scathing critique of popular columnist ter having finished reading his diatribe, why I stopped reading his column back when he had one. As far as I can see, Ms. Cookʼs column is reflective of her experiences growing up on the farm, and, as such, hardly presents itself as a sci-

entific journal on all subjects agricultural! To accuse her at least five times, both directly and indirectly of lying in her column is a bit over the top. I hardly think that it is necessary to demolish Ms. Cookʼs credibility in such a

mean spirited way in what seems simply to be an effort to show us all how incredibly knowledgeable Mr. van der Galien is. Sincerely, Clifford Welsh Bryson, Quebec

Things just don’t appear To the editor: Now that the fair has come and gone, life gets underway in Renfrew. We will be thinking soon of Christmas. For 14 years the Vern Yemen Memorial Nativity Scene has been part of the Christmas season for this area. It doesnʼt magically appear it needs organization and maintenance. Kelly Hunt, Chris Holmes

and myself are the last standing on the committee. We need the support of the Christian community. It is easy enough to throw a couple of dollars towards a project but that isnʼt what we are looking for. We want people who believe that maintaining a Nativity Scene is important. We are one of the last communities that this is possible. What needs to be done?

Prayers got Northcote family through the Dirty Thirties Mary Cook Memories

trigued with the minister when he was praying that I couldn’t take my eyes off him, when, in fact, I was supposed to be sitting in the pew ram-rod straight, in deep concentration. Audrey said it had nothing to do with sore feet. It had to do with the sincerity of the message. I had no idea what my sister was getting at, so I just had to sit there, Sunday after Sunday, with my own thoughts. And then it occurred to me that maybe there was something to this silent prayer business. After all, if a whole lot of people were doing it at the same time, that alone should have an impact and greatly impress God. And so praying silently became part of my life. I’m afraid I wasn’t very good at it to start. I was praying for things that I had seen in the Five and Dime Store window in Renfrew, and even prayed one time that bad Marguirite would move to another country. When none of these things came about, I decided I had to change what I was praying for. We also prayed every morning at the Northcote School. Right after Miss Crosby read a verse from the bible, she said the Lord’s Prayer, and we repeated it after her. One day I realized we did a lot of praying out there in Northcote...there were the Graces at every meal, morning prayers at the Northcote School, our nightly prayers around Mother’s knee at night, and the silent prayers each of us were encouraged to offer. I thought back then, with the Depression closed in around us like a tight vice, and every day a struggle for survival, it was the prayers, in whatever form they were given, were what really got us through the Dirty Thirties.

R0011624521_0920

We learned to pray at a very early age. Mother was a firm believer in prayer. Father, not so much. Oh, he was a believer in God, but he often wondered why, when we were doing all the right things, we were still poor as church mice. Why we lost several cows when lightning hit the big maple tree on the west hill under which the cows were seeking refuse in a storm, was another question he asked. So other than Grace at the table at meal time, Father pretty well left the praying up to Mother. Although Mother was raised a Catholic, she became a Lutheran when she married Father. Nevertheless, when she felt she needed a special prayer answered, she wasn’t above resorting to her Rosary beads. But she always made it clear to us five children, it wasn’t a case of what you used when praying, it was how often, and how fervently you did so. And so every night before we went to bed, we were marched upstairs to what Emerson irreverently called “the scrunch corner”. That was because we all had to scrunch down around Mother’s knee when she settled into the old rocking chair that sat under the window in the corner of the room. It was in my sister Audrey’s and my bedroom, which was really the upstairs hall, and the corner we prayed in, was hardly big enough to hold all of us. I always tried to get in the middle, because then I could rest my head on Mother’s knee, but Emerson usually beat me to it. Mother would wait until we had all settled down around her knee, our eyes were closed and our hands were in steeples, and then she would begin.

Her first prayers were ones we said every night. Exactly the same, word for word. And I wondered back then, if God got bored listening to the same prayers over and over again. When those prayers were finished, we then said special prayers for everything from rain, to good crops, to a bountiful vegetable garden and a good day of selling door to door in Renfrew. And Mother never forgot the old woman who lived alone in Renfrew, Granny Hines on the next farm, and the minister’s wife, whom Mother thought was a saint! They were all part of our nightly prayers. And then of course, we were expected to come up with our own prayers when all the group praying was over. That idea came to a great and glorious end when Emerson prayed that something evil would befall his very worse enemy at the Northcote School. Mother said, what we would do instead was pray silently to ourselves. I asked her how God would hear us if we didn’t say the prayers out loud. Mother assured me, He would be well aware of my silent prayers. And so began a lifetime of silent praying. Our Lutheran minister certainly didn’t believe in silent prayers I thought back then. In fact, his prayers were so loud, at the time I figured they could hear them in the United Church a stone’s throw away. And I wondered if your prayers had an advantage if you took on the pained look that came across our minister’s face whenever he opened his mouth. I asked my older and much wise sister Audrey if she thought he had sore feet, because not only did he have a pained look on his face, he had the habit of rocking from one foot to the other. To be honest, I was so in-

To the editor: I really have to take exception to Maynard van der Galienʼs letter, “Picking potato bugs on a daily chore”, which appeared in the Aug. 30 Renfrew Mercury. This was a mean-spirited letter, demeaning Mary Cookʼs writing and integrity. With all the terrible things happening in the world today, Maryʼs column is like a breath of fresh air, taking us back each week to a simpler and safer time in our lives and I did not appreciate Mr. van der Galienʼs comments.

An avid 4-H’er and student at St. Joseph’s Catholic School in Renfrew, she was thrilled to be named Queen of the Furrow. “It’s kind of something I dreamed about as a little girl and I look forward to the next year,” she said.

Child rescue fundraising Friday and Saturday at Golden Lake The Lantern of Hope Ministries is once again holding a child rescue fundraiser at the Golden Lake Community Centre Sept. 21 to 23. The second annual event is to raise funds and awareness for the fight against child sex trafficking. In countries like Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia and India, children are being stolen and sold into the sex trade industry, sometimes as young as three years of age. But you can help.

Lantern of Hope Ministries urges you to come out and support Pastor Ernie Weigelin. Pastor Weigelin will be living outside the Golden Lake Community Centre for the entire duration of the fundraiser – day and night. He will be doing this on behalf of all the innocent children who are living in the streets, exposed and exploited every day. You can make a difference. Come to the community

centre to see Pastor Weigelin, make a donation and support the cause. More information will be available at the community centre. You may also call Pastor Weigelin at 613-628-6760. Pastor Weigelin has built the ʻsafe houseʼ out of cardboard and the children and mothers from church helped to paint and decorate it. Pastor Weigelin will be sleeping in it on both Friday and Saturday nights.

G-M noise complaints investigated CODY KILLEEN

In front of the cardboard safe house, from left, are Brad Hein, Jay Zadow, Ethan Neumann, Linden Neumann, Morgan Neumann, Rayann Roesner, Alex Zadow, Jorga Roesner, Emily Roesner and Pastor Ernie Weigelin holding Sophie Killeen.

Track readings were 66.3 decibels (test skewed by traffic on local road), 64.5 and 63.6 decibels respectively over the three days. Fitchett met with each complainant. Noise levels werenʼt high enough to warrant any charges. About 350 people attended the track each day of the event.

Dream of a Lifetime Lottery: many prizes behind great cause By Joseph Morin joe.morin@metroland.com

PHOTO BY JOSEPH MORIN

Sang Trinh, daughters Eloise, Emma and wife Melanie Derry join in the 2012 Dream of a Lifetime Lottery launch taking place in Manotick. “I have been the CEO for almost a year now and one of the most impactful experiences for me, and it happens all the time, is to be out in the community and be approached by people who talk to me about the impact that CHEO has had on them and their families,” he said. “I hear those stories from parents and their kids. I also hear those stories from adults about themselves 10 to 20 and 35 years ago. It is a reminder of what CHEO is all about. The premise and promise of CHEO is the future. “Over the last 30 to 40 years our survival rate for cancer has gone to over 80 per cent,” explained Munter. “When Terry Fox started his marathon, most kids struck by cancer would sadly die. Today, over 80 per cent will survive. We are working towards 100 per cent. That high survival rate of 80 per cent is because of research that has happened at CHEO and other hospitals like CHEO.” He explained that without the support of communities and donors much of the exciting steps against cancer may not have taken place. Also at the lottery launching was the Trinh-Derry family representing all those families and children who have benefited from their experiences

at CHEO. When born, Emma Trinh was found to have low levels of hemoglobin. The hemoglobin carries oxygen. Emmaʼs levels were going down and not improving. Twelve days after being born, CHEO staff was giving her blood transfusions. Emmaʼs condition is extremely rare. Her father, Sang, said that if the doctors had not discovered the problem as quickly as they did they would have lost her. Having a child with a condition such as Emmaʼs is a nightmare. Her prognosis is good these days, but doctors are careful not to take her condition lightly. “The whole family got a ton of support,” remembers her dad. “We found the doctors and nurses took the time to explain everything.” Only 63,000 tickets will be sold, and because the lottery has sold out in previous years, organizers are encouraging everyone to purchase early to make sure you have a chance at winning. Single tickets are $100 each or three for $250. The closing date for all ticket sales is midnight Friday, Dec. 14, 2012. The Early Bird deadline is midnight, Nov. 16. Dec. 18, 2,500 Early Bird ticket winners will be drawn. The final draws are Jan. 8 and 9, 2013.

EMC News – It is all about helping children and their families. The launch of the 2012 CHEOʼs Dream of a Lifetime Lottery marked the 22nd time community builders and Ottawa residents came together to support their favourite hospital, the Childrenʼs Hospital of Eastern Ontario. Monday morning, Sept. 17, the 4,563-square-foot Minto Dream Home at 110 Gray Willow Place near Manotick welcomed the public and showcased why it is such a wonderful lottery prize. The grand prize is worth $1.6 million and includes a furnished and decorated Minto Dream Home with all furnishings by La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries, $100,000 in cash, along with a 2013 Lincoln AKS AWD from Jim Keay Ford Lincoln. Topping that off is house cleaning for a year from The Maids Home Services and $5,000 in groceries from Farm Boy. Other prizes include $100,000 cash, a 2013 mustang convertible from Jim Keay Ford Lincoln, a $10,000 gift certificate from Jubilee Fine Jewellers, an Alaskan Cruise for two from Destination anywhere and that is only the second prize list. Third prizes feature a 2013 Ford F150 4x4 SuperCrew, a trip for 2 to Barcelo Maya Colonial Prestige, a $5,000 shopping spree and an Ottawa Senators Flex 40 Package in the 100-level. The early-bird prize is $50,000 cash along with a 2013 Ford focus Titanium Hatchback, a trip for two to the Barcelo Beach Prestige Golf Collection and Spa in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic from Marlin Travel and Transat Vacations and an Ottawa Senators Flex 40 Package in the 100-Level. The prizes in the Dream House Lottery house seem never-ending. Each room of the dream home is overflowing with creative ideas, vibrant colours and modern furnishings. There is even a television in the spacious shower, barn board walls, and a putting green in the back yard and a clever and stylish entertainment centre in the basement. CHEO president and CEO Alex Munter said, “The CHEO Foundation really is the embodiment of the support and passion that this community has for its childrenʼs hospital.”

Celebrating fall with a health and wellness fair Seniors At Home

There is so much we can learn just by asking the right person. Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors At Home Program is providing the public with an opportunity to ask, listen and learn straight from the source. Educate yourself while celebrating the first day of fall by attending the programʼs inaugural Health & Wellness Fair Saturday, Sept. 22 at the Nick Smith Centre. The Health & Wellness

Fair, which will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., is free and will be presented by 30 of the communityʼs finest professionals, local entrepreneurs, organizations and service clubs. They will showcase their products and services, all designed to support a healthy lifestyle. There will be numerous door prizes including an early bird draw and one grand prize. The Arnprior Lionettes will serve homemade goodies. There will be 15-minute presentations by several organizations. The Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Ren-

frew County exists to alleviate the personal and social consequences of Alzheimerʼs disease and related dementias and to promote research. Tracey Liebig will give the presentation. The Arnprior and District Family Health Team includes 13 physicians, two nurse practitioners, a dietician, social worker, registered nurse, respiratory therapist (recruiting currently), psychologist and pharmacist. The team emphasizes prevention and healthy living as much as treating illness. Executive director Mau-

reen Sullivan-Bentz will make the presentation.

This encourages independent living and enhances the quality of life for seniors who have attained the age of 60, disabled and those with special needs no matter the age.

Stekelenburg: October’s featured artist at Brush Strokes gallery

ALL YOU CAN EAT

Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Jack Stekelenburg has been a home renovations contractor since 1970, who does projects both small and large. Which is sort of like his art work. The Renfrew artist, who has devoted increasing time since 2005 to his second career, as an artist, has focused on his work with metal sculptures. Thatʼs also a focus of his show at Carleton Placeʼs Brush Strokes Art Supplies and Gallery, where he will be the featured artist for October, starting Oct. 7. Stekelenburg has long been influenced by the late American abstract expressionist David Smith and the great Picasso. “I was moved and inspired by the Pablo Picasso art exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario this summer,” says Stekelenburg. INTRIGUED BY PICASSO’S WORK

“Iʼm intrigued by how Picasso works with metal. Most people do not know that he did many sculptures, many of them assemblages of found objects.” Not pretending to be in the same league, he says the two artists do have one thing in common, namely that both “can see a piece of scrap metal and know that one day it could invariably be turned into a sculpture.” Stekelenburg calls his exhibit of about two dozen pieces at Brush Strokes “an opportunity for me to show a large collection of my work. Thereʼs probably a different audience than at other plac-

Every place I show, Iʼm showing to a different group of people.” At the same time, he hopes viewers are enticed by the uniqueness of his art. “I donʼt want to say my work is off the wall, but itʼs very unique, while ranging in price from about $40 to $1,500.” One of his favourite pieces for this exhibit is The Farm, a 96-inch by 20-inch compilation of about 120 items welded on a metal canvas. The farm scene, which was started in 2007 and completed recently, includes a meadow with three horses, farm machinery, a lake, clouds, hills, the sun, flowers and a vegetable garden. Another piece is Circles. Its two planes of half-inch thick metal, which stand three feet tall, are perforated with different sizes of circles. “It is not meant to represent anything other than the fact that itʼs a composition,” says the 60-year-old artist. “One has to like the shapes, and if you do, then you will like the piece.” This is one of Stekelen-

dio at White Lake. He created and donated these paintings for the church sanctuary. Galbraith first came to Canada as a child during World War II. He proudly self identifies as a Canadian artist and his works have been featured in international exhibitions. Galbraith also has a meritorious voice. Galbraith will participate in Sundayʼs service and be present for the formal dedication of his paintings, which were done specifically for TrinitySt. Andrewʼs United Church.

This week marks one of the most interesting times of the year for students at St. Joeʼs — Spirit Week! The spirit ministers have been hard at work planning and preparing a funfilled week. The week kicks off with Fake an Injury Day on Monday. Students must think up a crazy injury and fake it as best they can. During lunch,

there will be a competition to see who can play the Operation board game the fastest. On Tuesday, canes, slippers and housecoats will be all the rage! Elderly Day will be filled with some unique activities, including wheelchair races at lunch. Fundraising for the Bonnechere Manor will take place throughout the day. Students are asked to wear their formal clothes on Wednesday. The school will celebrate a mass with Fa-

the school, followed by numerous games and challenges during the morning. Before a barbecue lunch, the school will walk a route in memory of Terry Fox. During the afternoon, a variety show will display the many talents at St. Joeʼs. The first dance of the year will take place on Friday night. This Monte Carlo themed event is highly anticipated by the school. What a way to end Spirit Week!

The Renfrew Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to 143 calls for service during the past week. FALL SEATBELT CAMPAIGN

The annual provincial fall seatbelt campaign will begin soon. Are you in the habit of buckling up every time you are in a vehicle? Your life can be saved by that simple act. Buckle up everytime. Officers will be strictly enforcing the seat belt law from Sept. 24 until Oct. 6. Please ensure everyone in your vehicle is buckled up. The fine for not wearing a seat belt is $240. The driver of a motor vehicle is responsible for ensuring all passengers under 16 years of age are wearing seat belts or properly secured in car seats.

While in the police cruiser she caused damage to the passenger seating area. Once at the detachment, she caused damage to the cell area and kicked an officer. Following the breath tests, a 42-year-old woman from Carp was charged with impaired driving, driving over 80 mgs, two counts of mischief under $5,000 and assaulting a police officer. She was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew Nov. 28.

Message from Sandi Heins 2012 Honorary Campaign Chair The United Way’s annual fundraising campaign starts September 6th and runs until December 6th. I am appealing to all residents of Renfrew County who have the financial ability to support this campaign generously. Renfrew County faces some difficult and complex problems. The United Way and its partners are mobilizing resources and building community capacities to address them. But they need your support to do so effectively. Your donation will stay in Renfrew County to help those in need – it may be a family member, a neighbour or even a stranger. Your donation will be an investment in helping to make our communities more healthy and socially inclusive. The United Way focuses its resources on six impact areas that Renfrew County communities themselves identified: child poverty; youth; seniors; safe & affordable housing; transportation; and health. While funding will continue to serve basic human needs and crisis services, the United Way is committed to begin directing more resources into preventive measures and identifying the root causes of problems we face. Renfrew County residents are traditionally very generous and caring. I know that you will continue this tradition when you are approached or have an opportunity to donate to your community through the United Way. Please visit www.renfrewcountyunitedway.ca/ for details on how you can support our efforts to create significant and lasting change. Thank You!

Strong attendance at GM public meetings Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Greater Madawaska Township held three public meetings in August to educate ratepayers on the townshipʼs clear bag program. The clear bag program is the townshipʼs initiative, making it mandatory for all household waste to be brought to the waste sites in clear bags only, as of Nov. 3, 2012. The program has been put in place to increase recycling participation so the township can reach a 50 per cent waste diversion rate, and eventually meet the provincial government target diversion rate of 67 per cent. Thirty-six people attended the public meeting in Griffith, 28 at the DACA Centre and 26 in Calabogie. Mayor Peter Emon was pleased with the turnout at each location. “Thatʼs very good. Normally you might get five, six, seven, eight people. Itʼd be nice to get a couple of hundred. Itʼs not that exciting a topic.” RECOGNITION PLAQUE

ROAD NAMES

for these

Council received two submissions for new road names to be added, one off Teeple Haley Road in Griffith, one off Cooper Hill Road. After looking at both and surveying their options, public works manager Jamie Doering recommended not renaming the two roadways in question. “We drove down it (off Teeple Haley) last week and couldnʼt make it to the end,” he said. “Itʼs a laneway and not maintained at all. Itʼs over a kilometre (in length),” he added. There are four residences along the 2.5-metre wide roadway. “Iʼm sure the 9-1-1 system would have named it a road if they had deemed it so.” Naming the laneway would also result in putting up a stop sign, a no-exit sign and a street name sign, Doering noted to council. He said emergency vehicles wouldnʼt be able to make their way to the end of the roadway. Doering said a similar scenario applies to the area off Cooper Hill Road. He again echoed the thoughts of 9-1-1 giving it a name if they thought the need was warranted.

Coun. Bruno Kierczak would like to institute a plaque to recognize community builders annually. “We would create a plaque, and put one in each ward to identify people in our community, and get people involved with the community,” the councillor said. The plaque would read: “The Township of

Greater Madawaska recognizes and thanks the following individuals, groups, associations and businesses, who have consistently contributed their personal time, selfless energy, talents and/ or financial contributions in making our community vibrant and healthy.”

Comeback Kid is off to Disney World Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Joshua Phillips, aka the Comeback Kid, is making great strides since suffering a brain stem stroke on Christmas Day 2008 at the age of 9. The name Comeback Kid was given to him by the folks at CHEO (Childrenʼs Hospital of Eastern Ontario). He has shown great spirit and courage, says grandmother Wendy Phillips “Joshua has been recognized by CHEO and has been chosen as Child Ambassador for the year starting Sept. 12,” Wendy added. His inspirational journey has already inspired all who know him and have worked with him. This past March, the Phillips family received a call to represent CHEO as a child ambassador for the year starting Sept. 12. He also learned more recently, heʼd been selected to go to Disney World Sept. 15 to 22. The journey began last Saturday for the Phillips family: parents Scott and Sue, and siblings Matt, 15, and Summer, 9, as they and Josh drove to Ottawa to meet up with 11 other families from across Canada. The group flew to Disney World, where they have been joined by another 50 families, one from each state in the U.S. “Itʼs a great honour to be picked out of thousands of children. Josh and family are deeply humbled,” Wendy said. “They (CHEO) have a whole lot of things planned for them.” Wendy said the Renfrew and District Christian School Grade 8 student takes things in stride. Her grandson says, “Every day, I want to show improvement.” “They (CHEO) said theyʼve never had anyone come back from a brain stem stroke. Itʼs

Scott and Sue donʼt like a lot of recognition, but she speaks on behalf of both of them when she says how proud everyone is of Joshuaʼs progress. It appears that a musical talent has also made its way through a couple of generations. “You should see him play the piano,” Wendy adds with a grin.

40th anniversary show: Landmark of the Minds opens Sept. 28 Bittersweet Gallery at Fog Run Studio

It was 1972 when Richard Gill put on his first show of pottery at his studio-home in Burnstown that he called Fog Run. In those days the show invitations were hand drawn and handwritten. The clay was custom mixed in a largehand, cranked bread dough mixer using rain water collected in big wooden barrels. The pots were thrown on a kick wheel and baked in a wood-fired kiln all of which were designed and built by his own hand with the passion and exuberant energy of his youth. The pots were decorated with unique textures and his signature style drawings that evoked the distilled essence of civilization and settlements. The locals loved his pots, and folks came in droves from miles around to buy them. FROM POTS TO ART

BITTERSWEET GALLERY

Richard Gill holds a finished clay-relief sculpture depicting Whitehall in London. This is just one of more than 100 pieces he has sculpted for his 40th anniversary fall show.

When one day a customer commented that they loved his drawings on the pots but had no more need for the pots themselves, he set about to solve the problem. He cut a finished wet pot in half and opened it up put a hanger on the back, fired it and hung it on the wall. When it sold the next day he knew he was on to something, and thatʼs when his work evolved from functional to purely visual. People started asking him if he would mind rendering their homes, farms or cottages in clay and his skills as a former architect served him well. Now more than 50 per cent of his work

is custom-made by commission. Today the invitations are professionally printed, the mailing list has grown and managed by computer, and the use of email make things more efficient. The work has evolved with increasingly skilful detail as well as colour with the use of computer operated electric kilns. This landmark 40th show will include a wide variety of material that is sure to appeal to many aesthetics and consists of three collections: Landmarks of the Mind, Flora & Femme and the French River (in northern Ontario) Some are pieces that he has wanted to sculpt for years, but didnʼt fit into the theme of a conceived concept for a show or that he perceived as too complex at the time. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS

Highlights of the show include renditions of the Moulin Rouge, the Stairway to the Paris Opera House, the Eiffel Tower, Monte Carlo, Whitehall, London, St. Peterʼs in Rome, Versailles, Santiago de Compostela, Perce Rock, Haida Totem Poles, St Josephʼs Oratory, Montreal, as well as closer-tohome icons like the Chateau Laurier, the Parliament buildings, along with some familiar favourites of the Ottawa Valley, to name just a few of more than 100 new works. Others are landmarks that made a lasting impression on him in his youth, like the Statue of Liberty that he recalls climbing when on a business trip with his father at age 16. Or perhaps what was his very first recollection of Big Ben that his mother

Once the piece is sculpted, it is kilnfired, glazed with colour and fired again at 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit. pointed out to him at the age of 3 indelibly imprinted in his mind. Landmarks of the Mind opens at Bittersweet Gallery

in Burnstown on Friday, Sept. 28. The show continues daily 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Oct. 8. For more details, call 613432-5254 or 613-433-9990.

A sunny Sunday at the Renfrew Fair PETER CLARK/METROLAND

Stacey Johnston wasn’t going to the Renfrew Fair on the Sunday afternoon. But it’s a good thing she did. Johnston was the lucky winner of the Renfrew Lions Club’s $3,000 fair draw. From left are Rueben Raymond, who sold the winning ticket to Johnston Sunday afternoon, Lions Club president Tom Freamo and past-president Bob Boyer.

Ontario Power Generation has been a big supporter of Calabogie Seniors Club Barnet Gardens projects at Barnet Park. From left are committee member Dave Larabie, OPG public affairs officer Jennifer Gardiner, seniors club president Don Strachan and committee member Maurice O’Shaughnessy.

Seniors club adds magic to Barnet Park Over the years, the Calabogie Seniors Club has taken an active interest in horticultural enhancements at Barnet Park. The township of Greater Madawaska provides a basic gardening program at the park which depends on a volunteer component provided by the seniors club, president Don Strachan said. “On a regular basis, club members work with Hennie and Hank Schaly, township gardeners, who are also club members, to manicure and fertilize the numerous gardens on the property. “In recent years, the Calabogie Seniors Club has initiated

two major new garden projects with financial assistance from Ontario Power Generation, a good corporate citizen in our township,” Strachan added. “One garden is dedicated to butterflies in that it is planted with butterfly-friendly flowers and shrubs. At the entrance to the park, two additional gardens were created to provide a welcoming vista to the many visitors to the park.” The seniors group is applying for a New Horizons Grant for seniors activities, Strachan added. The New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP) is a federal grants and contributions program that supports

projects led or inspired by seniors who want to make a difference in the lives of others and in their communities. Grant funds would go toward a sound system to allow for concerts in the park. “I think itʼs a beautiful park,” executive committee member Maurice OʼShaughnessy said. “Itʼs nice to see it decorated and become a focal gathering point in the community.” Seniors Club members are proud of their ongoing involvement at Barnet Park and wish to thank and recognize Ontario Power Generation for assistance through their community support program.

Support for those in need The Renfrew Lions Club presented 56 bags of groceries to the Renfrew and District Food Bank following the 2012 Renfrew Fair. From left are president Lion Tom Freamo, food bank volunteer Sandee Hardy, Lion John Bromilow and treasurer Lion Doug Headrick.

Was Anna really lazy? Pat Trew Food’n’Stuff

If you’ve ever come across a recipe for Anadama bread, you’re probably familiar with the story of how it got its name. One of the early pioneers in New England supposedly had a lazy wife named Anna. She never had supper ready for him, but every night she would serve him cornmeal mush or pudding. Finally getting tired of this, the fellow stirred some flour and molasses into the mush and put it on the fire to bake. All the time, he kept muttering, “Anna, damn her!” I don’t know what his bread tasted like, but I can guarantee that once you’ve tasted this bread machine version, you’ll make it often. Made with cornmeal, molasses and flour, Anadama bread is very light in texture, brown in color and slightly sweet in flavour. It goes well with almost any meal, but I particularly like to serve it with chili or soup. This bread keeps well and stays fairly moist for about two days.

2/3 cup water 2 tbsp. cornmeal 1 1/2 tsp. butter or margarine 2 tbsp. molasses 1 1/2 cups flour 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. bread machine yeast Measure the ingredients into your bread machine in the order given. Start it, using either the delay or regular cycle. When the bread is done, remove it from the baking pan, and set it on a wire rack for about one hour to cool before slicing. This recipe makes a small loaf, ideal for 2 to 4 people.

Rowers enjoy a grand day on the Madawaska River at Burnstown Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

The mist spread across the Madawaska River at Burnstown early Sunday morning, but by the time 88 rowers took to the water an hour later, it was all systems go. The Burnstown Rowing Club hosted its recreational regatta Sept. 9, as it has done for a number of years. The Ottawa Rowing Club had about 50 members competing, while some of Burnstownʼs 40 members also took to the water. The Ottawa New Edinburgh, Quinte (Belleville) and St. Lawrence Rowing Club of Cornwall were also represented, organizer Heather Lang noted. There was one paddler who made the trek from Hurds Lake to compete. Competitors paddled from the Burnstown beach up-river past the bridge to the starting point of the races, and they had the race coming back. Races were three and five kilometres before lunch, followed by a 3-km and 1,000-metre fun event in the afternoon. Although it was a recreational regatta, races were sanctioned by Rowing Canada and Rowing Ontario and results recorded. Four officials were on hand to view the action. It was a bright sunny day, and Lang said they couldnʼt ask for much better along the beautiful shores of the Madawaska River. “It was excellent. The Ottawa rowers love our regatta. They come every year,” she said. MASTERS SILVER MEDALLISTS

It was a feather in the cap of the Burnstown Rowing

PETER CLARK/METROLAND

One team makes its way under the Burnstown Bridge on the Madawaska River at the anClub, in that competitors in the regatta included three of their own rowers who won silver medals at the Canadian Masters Rowing Championships in Montreal Aug. 12. Burnstown Rowing Club president Mark Robson and past-president Bill Stevens teamed up to earn silver in doubles, and a third Burnstown club member, Guiseppe Lund, captured a silver in singles. “It was 1,000 metres and we rowed at the Olympic Basin in Montreal,” Stevens said. “We lost (gold) by less than a second. The winning team beat us by .8 of a second. “They got a better start than we did,” Stevens added of what became a see-saw race. “At the first 100 metres, they were ahead of us. Through the body of the race, they were behind us, (but) they picked it up. “We were a bow behind them and almost caught them at the end. They were running out of gas.”

The winning two-man crew nual regatta Sunday morning. was from Edmonton. Stevens and Robson finished with a time of three minutes, 42 seconds. They will be competing in a Boston regatta in late October. Lundʼs event featured five competitors in what also was a 1,000-metre race. “I led the pack until the last 250 metres. “The race had buoyed lanes and I was leading until I hit a buoy with my oar.” Lund said he is more accustomed to racing where the route is unobstructed by lanes. However, Lund was pleased with his time of 3:51. “I said at the beginning, I wanted to be less than four minutes.” Lund said the presence of older rowers is inspiring. “There were guys 85 still racing and putting in a very good time. If Iʼm still racing in 25 years, Iʼll be very hap- Competitors start their way from the Burnstown Beach up the Madawaska River for the py.” first race.

For many, the days of playing for one Junior B team are long gone I remember back in the day, when I first began attending Junior B hockey games, a game between the Junior B Lions and Arnprior Packers was basically 20 guys from Renfrew against 20 guys from Arnprior. Town pride was truly on the line. Trades were almost unheard of. Oh, I remember a couple. Dane Mitchell and Ralph Young somehow wound up in Arnprior in separate deals a year or two apart. Iʼm not sure of all the circumstances. As time marched on, players began filtering in from elsewhere, but

PETER CLARK PETER’S PUTTERINGS they were from the area ... Eganville, Cobden, Pembroke. And they helped Renfrew win championships. Still, there wasnʼt a lot of player movement going on, with the exception of maybe Shawn Walby, who played for Ottawa West, Perth, Richmond, Arnprior and Renfrew, and he was a good hockey player. Today, there are guys all over the

Gone are the days when players were pretty well assured of spending their entire Junior B careers with one team. Dealing players is just part of the culture now, often to lessen school travel. At least we can still go to the games, unlike one other league we know. Ace in a hole: He started the year as the Toronto Blue Jays dependable ace with an 8-and-1 record.

league, not only changing teams, but playing for several teams. Ex-Timberwolf Mitch Parker comes to mind. He has played for at least four teams, so far. And then you have the Arnprior Packers. You wouldnʼt recognize the team that captured the Valley Division title last spring. I think they had three players left over when they played the Wolves Friday night. Key components like Taylor Collins, Ryan Eady and Shane Smith are playing for other teams. Even their entire coaching staff is gone.

Hospice Classic raises $38,000 The sixth annual Aikenhead’s Hospice Classic was held at the Renfrew Golf Club Aug. 17. A total of 144 players congregated. The lowest score of 59 was turned in by the mixed team, from left, Erin Pasco, Kevin McKinnon, Keith McKinnon and Karen Church.

Making up the top women’s team at the Hospice Classic, from left, are Christine O’Hare, Lee Sharpe, A.J. White and Mary Peer.

It was nice to see so many people, both new and old, at the registration and social last Friday. If you forgot, no worries, as you can find registration information on the club website or by contacting the club directly. It appears that all leagues are a go with social open curling on Thursday afternoon and evening, as well as Friday night. This is a good way to begin your curling career as well as just enjoying a fun curling experience. Wednesday night is for skins curling and the different format is an interesting way to develop the strategy of the game. Monday evening has open fixed-team curling and the competition can be quite keen. If you are not part of a team, just register and a team will be found for you. Tuesday evening the special Olympians take to the ice. The rest of the day, curling is given over to the men on Monday and Friday, while the ladies curl on Tuesday afternoon. Wednesdays are held open for interclub competitions, both social as well as serious. Sunday afternoon will once again provide access to the community on a payto-play basis as the Rookie Rocks program allows new and occasional curlers to experience this great pastime, ably instructed by experienced curlers. Thursday after school provides an opportunity for our young curlers to learn the game and develop their skills in a fun and safe atmosphere with qualified instructors. STICK CURLING

It is hoped that stick curling will develop a league this year, as it now has been fully recognized by Curling Ontario as a division. It includes a provincial championship, the first leg of which will be hosted at our club. If there is not enough interest for a league, stick curlers still have access to all our leagues and their numbers are growing. In fact, it is a wonderful way to enjoy the sport of curling for those who are concerned with stability on the ice or who have physical ailments that prevent them from sliding out of the hack. Remember, now everyone and anyone can curl! So, as you can see, there is no reason to miss out this year as the club has provided you with an enjoyable sport and it wonʼt break the piggy bank.

The Renfrew Timberwolves fought back from a one-goal deficit three times on their Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League 2012 season opener Friday night, only to fall behind again. It resulted in a 4-3 Arnprior Packers lead after two periods at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. But, the Wolves answered the bell in the third period, and when the dust settled, they had themselves a spirited 7-4 victory over the defending Valley Division champions. WOLVES 7, ARNPRIOR 4

Trailing 4-3, Casey Doner – who was a Packer until about a week before – snapped a dart past Arnprior netminder Kyle Lamothe on a Renfrew powerplay 3:51 into the period. Less than two minutes later while killing a penalty, Adam Gale and Tanner Smith teamed up for a take-away at the Packer blueline. They walked in two-on-one with Gale giving Renfrew its first lead since 2-1. What had to please the Wolves staff of coach and general manager Brent Sylvester and assistants Lorenzo Comparelli, Jason Gould and Brent Gould as seven different

GATINEAU 2, WOLVES 0

The Wolves were back on the ice Sunday afternoon in Buckingham where they dropped a tough 2-0 decision to the defending Metro Division champion Gatineau Mustangs. Dominik Robinson give the

Mustangs a 1-0 lead with 1:02 left in the first period, and Dan Boyer iced the verdict 1:23 from the end of the game. Matt Gagne was solid in his Wolves regular-season goaltending debut. He was credited with 53 stops. Gatineauʼs Jean-Philippe Giroux kicked aside 31 Renfrew shots to earn the shutout. The Wolves killed off 12 Gatineau powerplays and have now thwarted all 19 opposition powerplays in two games. The Mustangs fought off eight Renfrew powerplays. Sylvester has seen a lot of water flow under the bridges to Gatineau, and was pleased with the performance his team turned in on Sunday. “In 10 years this was our best outing in Gatineau. The kids gave a strong effort in a losing cause,” the coach said. “The boys played hard and didnʼt give up as they fought to the bitter end.” The Wolves next action is Sunday night when they take on the Ottawa Junior Canadians of the Metro loop. Game time at the MAC is 7:30 p.m. Itʼs the first of five consecutive home games for the Wolves, a homestand that includes contests against Stittsville, Perth, Almonte and Shawville over the following two weekends.

goalgetters got their sweater numbers into the scoring column. Doner and Gale were joined by Sean Kyte, Nathan Homuth, Pat Dick, Tanner Smith and team captain Jesse Riopelle. The last two goals iced the game late in the third period. Also, each team had seven powerplays. The Wolves clicked four times while holding Arnprior off the scoresheet. Both sides netted a shorthanded marker. The Packers held a 39-36 edge in shots. Most came in the second period when Wolves netminder Nicolas Hodgins was at his busiest. Arnprior fired 20 shots, many in the latter stages as the Wolves appeared to wear down before catching a second wind in the third period. Ex-Packer Matt Gagne was Hodginsʼ back-up. Ryan Patrick notched two Arnprior goals, Riley Shore and former Timberwolf Ethan Allard added others.

Value of Terry Fox message underlined by cancer patient Kate Glynn

Terry Foxʼs message of hope was brought home last weekend as Danielle Thuot took the stage at the 31st annual Terry Fox Run. Any doubt that money raised from the annual event helps real people, was put to rest as Thuot took the mic Sunday, prior to the start of the run. “In 1977 Terry Fox was diagnosed with cancer. That is the same year I was born,” she told the 150 volunteers and participants gathered at Renfrewʼs Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. “That was thirty-five years ago. It seems like such a long time ago, we have been hearing about him forever. The Terry Fox Foundation has raised $600,000,000 and his name is a household word. He is a legend. “But to a young woman with two small children diagnosed with breast cancer, 35 years just doesnʼt seem like that many,” she said. Thuot was diagnosed with Lobular Carcinoma this spring, but not before repeated visits to the doctor over an eight month period. “They said it was just a blocked duct. It couldnʼt be cancer, I was too young. They said I had no family history.” The decision to have a double mastectomy this past May was an easy one Thuot told the crowd. “I donʼt want to have to tell

my family I have cancer ever again,” said the Stittsville resident who works for Renfrewbased Deslaurier Custom Cabinets. Thuot has just finished her first week of radiation and will go every day for the next four weeks. She will take a hormone suppressant for the next five years and will most likely need a hysterectomy in the next few months. “I want to tell you how thankful I am that I have all of these things available to me,” she told the crowd. “Once upon a time, when a woman was diagnosed with breast cancer, the only treatment available to her was a radical mastectomy. This meant not only removing the breast, but all the muscle under the breast and up into the arm, leaving a woman deformed and disabled and unable to use their arms for everyday activity. “I thank you, because I can play with my kids, I can lift them up. “Terry Fox started the Marathon of Hope and you guys are keeping it going. I really, really thank you and my family really thanks you,” she said. Thuot concluded by wishing participants a fantastic run, “and next year I will be running alongside of you.” The annual run, organized by sisters Tanya Campbell and Sheena Pilgrim, raised $22,800 and an additional

RCI hosts parade, football on Friday the second contest around 2:30 p.m.

Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Danielle Thuot thanks those who gathered for Renfrew’s 2012 Terry Fox Run. $415 with the introduction of a silent auction this year. The two women were pleased with the turnout that saw 125 participants, an additional 25 volunteers and support from the business com-

munity. “We are so humbled and grateful for the dedication that everyone brings to the Terry Fox Run. Renfrew has raised a remarkable $335,000 since 1982,” Campbell said.

The spirit of the Blue and White will be on full display Friday in downtown Renfrew. Renfrew Collegiate Institute will be holding its annual Pigskin Parade prior to the RCI Raiders football doubleheader. The Pigskin Parade follows the annual pep rally, and will leave the front of the school at 11:50 a.m. The parade will make its way to Argyle Avenue, past The Renfrew Mercury to Opeongo Road, and down Raglan Street to Munroe, weather permitting. It then makes its way to Ma-Te-Way Park for the 1 p.m. kickoff. The Junior Raiders take on the Smiths Falls Redhawks in the gridiron doubleheader opener. The Raiders host the Deep River Mustangs in

TURKEY BOWL CHANGE

The annual Thanksgiving Turkey Bowl football doubleheader featuring the Raiders and Arnprior Redmen will no longer be held on the Sunday of Thanksgiving Day Weekend. Instead, it will now be on the Saturday. This yearʼs Turkey Bowl Oct. 6 will be hosted by Arnprior. The Redmen jumped out to a 21-0 lead en route to a 42-21 win over the Senior Raiders in RCIʼs home opener Tuesday. The Raiders didnʼt quit. They narrowed the gap to 21-13 by halftime. Connor Jamieson, quarterback Cooper Brown and Matt Murdock had RCI majors. Brown converted one TD while Josh Thero added a two-point convert.

and mixed. They played about 30 games that day.” As a province, Ontario finished with 80 medals, including 37 gold, 28 silver and 15 bronze, second to Albertaʼs 113. Nova Scotia had 77 medals and the Yukon Territories 76. Berube thanked Sport Renfrew for their support. “Sport Renfrew gave us $1,000. That was good of them,” he said. Next up on the horizon for the Renfrew duo is the 2013 Ontario championships in Huntsville in February. Winning there would again qualify Campbell and Berube for the Canada 55+ Senior Games. Since the Senior Games are held every second year, that would mean the Games of 2014, which are being held in Alberta.

The menʼs doubles team of Robert Berube and Mac Campbell put Renfrew on the badminton podium, making it all the way to the final to bring home the silver medal at the 2012 Canada 55+ Senior Games in Sydney, N.S. The local duo – a part of the Ontario team – collected 12 wins over two days Aug. 30 and 31 en route to a berth in the final. “Everything went smoothly. We lost only one match on the way to the final,” Campbell said. “We had a lot of (good) competition.” Their only loss in the regular portion of the tournament came to the racquets of the

eventual gold medal-winning team of Gerry Wist and Brenton Smith of host Nova Scotia. “We played with feather birds. Normally we play with plastic birds,” Berube said. “It seems like a slower game. Itʼs the first tournament that I played with feather birds.” Matches were best-of-three, with games going to 21. “Most of our matches went three (games), except for the two guys that beat us. They beat us in two.” Berube and Campbell showed respect for the tournament champions, who hailed from Halifax and were in the army. “They were quite a bit stronger than we are,” Berube said. “They played both menʼs

1912: inspection of Bonnechere River water reserves SEPTEMBER 20, 1912

INSPECTING WATER SUPPLY: Mr. Wm. Byron, chief electrician for the Renfrew Power Co., was up the Bonnechere River last week looking over the water reserves, for though the fre-

OLGA LEWIS FROM THE OLD FILES

quent rains have kept the river up well, it is of some moment to know what the water supply is likely to be. He found

that the reserve dam builders at Round Lake were having a hard time of it securing a seal and certain foundation of rock. About 30 feet of dam on the land have been completed, and then what the contractors had thought was rock turning out to be a big boulder they

were probing down deeper to get the spot that would not let the dam be undermined. PLEASANT SURPRISE FOR FORMER RENFRE-

and the next day was the 17th anniversary of their wedding. Early in the evening a crowd collected in front of the manse and two of the ladies went in .

WITE: Rev. and Mrs. W.D. Mills of San Pablo, Calif., were given a pleasant surprise on Sept. 4 by the members of their congregation. The occasion was Mrs. Mills birthday

1977: Expansion at the Renfrew Public Library Continued from page 43

They proceeded to surprise their pastor and his wife by presenting them with a handsome library rug and several smaller ones. Afterward a most enjoyable evening was spent, recitations and music being furnished by those present. Refreshments were then served and after wishing the mistress of the manse many happy returns, the crowd departed SEPTEMBER 16, 1937

MR. FRED A. WADE CAMPAIGN MANAGER FOR THE LIBERALS: Mr. Fred A. Wade of Renfrew, one of the nominees at the Liberal convention in Eganville, has not only withdrawn in favour of the sitting member, Mr. Thomas R. Murray, but is to act as campaign manager for the Liberal candidate. This will relieve Mr. Murray of much inconvenience, leaving him more time for meeting the electors, also for the preparation and delivery of public addresses. A man of abundant energy, Mr. Wade will infuse much vigour into the Liberalsʼ line of action. LOCAL CONSERVATIVES HOLD ELECTION OF OFFICERS: The local Conservative Association at a meeting held in the committee rooms in the Miller Block on Monday evening chose Mr. James A. Maloney as president. Honorary presidents are Canon Quartermaine and Dr. M.J. Maloney. Honorary vice-presidents are Thomas P. Barnet and Thomas D. Harty. John Easton is immediate past-president. Vice-presidents are W.O. Demarce and G.E. Graham; Cliff Williams is secretary and John M. Roberts treasurer. The executive is composed of R.D. Scott, John Beamish, C.O.

JUDGE WELCOMED TO COURT: Newly-appointed Provincial Court Judge Russell Merridew sat in Renfrew Court on, Monday, Sept. 17 for the first time. In honour of the occasion councillor Joe Cooke said, “I have been elected to welcome you to the Renfrew courtroom, probably by reason of my age more than anything else.” Mr. Cooke added warm words of welcome on behalf of everyone in the courtroom, and said the judge could be assured of the utmost co-operation from Renfrew police and lawyers. LIBRARY EXPANSION: One of town councilʼs most easily reached decisions this year is one of the best. Expansion of the Renfrew Public Library is an indisputable physical necessity. Equally essential is the need to keep the Library in its present location, in the downtown core where it is part of the townʼs most vital area. Councilʼs speedy agreement to help finance the expansion was helped greatly by the thorough preparation of the libraryʼs needs presented to council by Library Board chairman Ruth Burwell. She had researched her subject, she knew what she was talking about and she was to the point. When she is through with the library board, she would be a welcome addition to council. For help with research, contact Olga Lewis at olewis@sympatico.ca.

NATURE

Bluebirds gather and prepare for the trip south Now is the time of year to see bluebirds. Flocks of up to 20 birds have been seen on the Garden Road. In late summer the birds, as a family, go to favourite feeding areas to build up their strength after moulting and nesting. It also gives the young birds a chance to learn their flight and foraging skills. A few days before they leave they will visit their favourite nest boxes, going in at out of the boxes and often placing building materials inside. We have always wondered why: could it be to imprint the location in their minds so that when they return in the spring they will recognize the site or could they be teaching the young where the nest boxes are located and what they are for? If you observe any of these behaviours, please let us know. There are so many things we do not know about our birds, especially before migration. WARBLERS GATHER

Ila and Jim: On Friday, I saw migrating warblers for the first time this fall. I watched four orangecrowned warblers flying around a dead tree for about five minutes. They were all dull yellow-olive, with a thin, dark line through the eye and bright yellow under the tail. There were six bluebirds, a northern flicker and a robin in the same tree. I also saw a northern waterthrush nearby. However, I have not seen a blackpoll warbler. Cedric Wright

JIM FERGUSON SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE warbler. It is a good time to observe warblers as they tend to remain in one area to feed. IN THE SWAMP

Kevin Hughes and I heard a Wilsonʼs snipe calling in a swampy area at Dragonfly Golf Links last Friday morning. In is late and unusual for them to be calling this time of year. In the fall, birds revert to calls rather than songs to convey their message to other family members. This year appears to be the exception. A flock of about 120 Canada geese flew over the links in a close to perfect “V”. During the flight one of the geese dropped out and flew into the centre of the “V” for a short time. When it returned to get into line one of the geese in the string slowed down and made room for the returnee in the formation. We had not seen this behaviour before. Normally, if a bird loses its place in line it must go to the end or starts a secondary “V”. The call of the wild goose will be heard regularly for the next few months. It doesnʼt seem very long since we welcomed them back. RAIN BRINGS THEM OUT

Mary Steele sent us this email. JIM FERGUSON

Male bluebird inspects a nesting box.

Thank you Cedric. The orange-crowned warbler is rare in this area as is the blackpoll

Jim and Ila:

We have had lots of birds since it rained last week. This morning 25 robins were on the lawn at 7:30. Ten northern flickers and three brown thrashers were poking in the earth for grubs. The flickers spend most of their energy trying unsuccessfully to chase the thrashers. After dark I hear a loud shrill call not unlike that of a heron but definitely a heron. What do you think it could be? Mary, it could very well be an immature sandhill crane. The parents leave them on their own for longer periods of time now and the young birds try to keep in contact with loud, high-pitched calls. MALE GOLDFINCHES

You may think you have a new species at your feeder, but not really, the male American goldfinches are moulting and have some of their breeding plumage and some of their winter plumage still intact. It usually takes the birds three or four week Sto make the change from breeding to winter plumage. During the transition they look a bit scruffy, with patches of gold and yellow-green feathers. They will retain the black wings and tail with white wing bars, but the gold on the body and the black on the crown will be gone. The female is much the same winter and summer. In winter she will be greyish brown with some yellow patches, dark brown wings with white wing bars. Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, RR 5, Renfrew, Ont., K7V 3Z8.

Thanks to all of you who joined us in celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. The picnic at the farm and the party at the pub were both wonderful. We appreciated all the cards, gifts and greetings. Special thanks to our daughters Paige, Gillian and Grace; as well as Joan and Brent, Jared, Andrew and Mike on the mic! The love and support shown by all our family, friends and community over the past few weeks has been overwhelming. Thanks for being there for us, both in the past 40 years and more recently, in times of sorrow and times of celebration. Ritchie & Margie
