Premier Dalton McGuinty resigns, prorogues legislature Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

In a surprise move after nine years as premier of Ontario, on Monday Ottawa South MPP Dalton McGuinty announced he is stepping down as premier. McGuinty asked party president Yasir Naqvi, MPP for Ottawa Centre, to convene a leadership convention at the earliest opportunity. McGuinty said he will remain leader and premier until a new Liberal leader is found and he will remain as the MPP for Ottawa South until the next election - a role he has held for 22 years. “As the party and government of relentless progress, weʼre always looking for new ideas and ways to renew ourselves,” McGuintyʼs speech read. “And Iʼve concluded that this is the right time for Ontarioʼs next Liberal premier and our next set of ideas to guide our province forward.” The evening announcement came amid opposition accusations that McGuinty mislead the legislature over power plant cancellations that will cost taxpayers upwards of $230 million and pressure from teachersʼ unions over his efforts to freeze their wages and take away their ability to strike. But McGuinty cited party “renewal” and the oppositionʼs block-

ing of a public-sector wage freeze bill as his reasons for stepping aside. “It has nothing to do with that, and everything to do with a decision that Terri and I have made,” McGuinty told reporters late Monday night. “Itʼs time for us to return to our own lives, and itʼs time for me to make an effort to renew the leadership of our party.” Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, who served as a provincial cabinet minister under McGuinty, said the premier never forgot his Ottawa roots when he went to Queenʼs Park and, as a result, the city has beneﬁtted from hundreds of projects that would not have happened without his support, including hospitals, schools and infrastructure projects. McGuinty also asked Lt.-Gov. David Onley to prorogue the legislature “to allow those discussions with our labour partners and the opposition to occur in an atmosphere that is free of the heightened rancour of politics in the legislature.” Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak expressed his thanks to McGuinty for his service to Ontario. But he criticized McGuintyʼs decision to asked for the legislature to be suspended, saying it prevents “critical work” that needs to be done to address job creation and the provinceʼs debt. -With files from Metro News

to discuss several concerns Puhalski had about council decisions, and councilʼs reaction to criticisms voiced by the Horton resident, since the start of the municipal term in late 2010.

Local resident Ray Puhalski voices some of his concerns during Monday’s special meeting with Horton council.

Coun. Bob Kingsbury stresses a point to resident Ray Puhalski, as Coun. Jamey Larone listens during the Oct. 15 meeting.

Mayor Eady: the tone of criticism needs to change Continued from front

Puhalski, in a prepared statement before council, spoke in some detail about his concerns regarding the procurement bylaw and about how the current council had violated the townshipʼs remuneration bylaw. In email correspondence May 3, 2012, the township solicitor told CAO Mackie McLaren that “technically Mr. Puhalski may be right, although it is a minor issue that he raises.” On another point, Puhalski says he was under the impression that Horton council was prepared to ask their solicitor to issue a ceaseand-desist order, if Puhalski continued to send correspondence to the township about council business. In response, McLaren said that was “not entirely” accurate, but that such an issue was discussed with their solicitor. “I could not understand why Hortonʼs dulyelected representatives could take such action against a fellow taxpayer,” said Puhalski. Eady also acknowledged the chambers are usually “pretty empty” for council meetings, but not this time. In addition to the ﬁve council members, McLaren and members of the media, there were also 12 members of the public. The latter included former council members Bob Johnston, Dave Bennett and Bob Hall.

Much of the remainder of the meeting dealt with Puhalskiʼs desire to see monthly council packages posted online the Friday before the ﬁrst-Tuesday-of-the-month meetings. This, said Puhalski, would give members of the public time to review the contents and provide feedback to council members before the monthly meeting. Mayor Eady and CAO McLaren talked about the possibilities of doing this, but made no promises. Eady stressed that the additional stress on staff, and possible additional cost, would be factored into whatever decision council makes. One of the councillors who has taken the most offence to the nature of Puhalskiʼs criticisms of council, as reported in the Oct. 11 Renfrew Mercury, over the last several months is Margaret Whyte. In the Oct. 15 meeting, she apologized for losing her temper, after telling Puhalski that it was councilʼs job, not Puhalskiʼs, to conduct the townshipʼs business. She admitted to feeling defensive, but said, “I really feel this council has been honest as we can.” She also said township has made progress with providing more online presence of township business, but that it might be too onerous to expect staff to be able to post online council packages the Friday before each monthly

council meeting. Bob Kingsbury had the most heated response of councillors. “You should know that with every privilege there comes a responsibility,” said Kingsbury at Mondayʼs meeting (Oct. 15). “And I feel, after numerous letters and emails we have received, that you are abusing that right. I feel you are bordering on harassment and it appears that it is only for your own benefit, and not the benefit of Horton Township. “If you actually look at the amount of time we have spent on your concerns about potential mistakes we are making, the cost involved tells me that you are the one who is wrong. As for an apology, Ray, I would accept one from you. But if youʼre waiting for one from me, itʼs not going to happen. “I try to do my job as best as I possibly can, with as few mistakes as I possibly can.” Kingsbury continued: “It seems to me you have appointed yourself as opposition to this council, the leading opposition, and to what benefit? “Do we make mistakes? Youʼre damn right we do. We try hard not to. But if we do, we donʼt go back and make the same one twice.” Kingsbury admitted he was confused and didnʼt know what Puhalski was looking for,

because any mistakes made were “honest mistakes made as we were trying to do our job.” The morning after the meeting, Puhalski provided prepared remarks, with which he categorized the meeting as “fruitful” and a forum for all participants to voice their concerns and frustrations. Those concerns and frustrations, he said, were with regard to actions that have “occurred on my part as well as on the part of council. I hope I was successful in convincing Horton council that my letter of April 24 (2012), re: the violation of the remuneration bylaw, was not intended to be malicious.” In concluding remarks, Eady told Puhalski the manner in which information is delivered is important, and that a suitable tone needs to be used if council is to respond suitably to criticisms and other feedback. Afterwards, Eady told The Mercury that he felt the meeting set a necessary tone. “I certainly welcome suggestions from Mr. Puhalski or anybody else. But you need time to digest them (before providing a suitable response).” Mayor Eady said he hoped the meeting “opened up a line of communication,” which includes the understanding that council isnʼt going to run around responding to every criticism Puhalski makes.

Renfrew & Area Health Services Village not just about doctor recruitment Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

This month, members of the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village are doing the rounds, visiting not only the four local municipalities that support the corporation. RAHSV members are also approaching service organizations, churches, funeral directors and local businesses, to see who might support the organization that is trying to recruit 14 doctors by 2014. The goal will soon be half met, with the awaited announcement (tonight) of a seventh doctor since the program began in 2010. How-

ever, substantial money remains to be raised to help RAHSV realize its goals. The ﬁrst of the four member municipalities visited this month was Horton, whose council was addressed Oct. 2 by the delegation of RAHSV mayor-members Raye-Anne Briscoe of Admaston-Bromley, Peter Emon of Greater Madawaska and Bill Ringrose of Renfrew. A strong theme of the 45-minute address, which was delivered by Emon, was that the health services village is about ﬁnding doctors, but much more — namely economic development. “We believe strongly that weʼre

not just recruiting individual physicians, but weʼre bringing in families,” said Emon. “They have some unique needs and unique demographics, and we feel, by including all members of the community (like real estate agents, day care operators and other business owners), that gives us an advantage when weʼre out recruiting.” Emon referred to University of Guelph professor Al Lauzonʼs article in the health services villageʼs 42page information package. Lauzon said doctor recruitment contributions should be viewed not as a handout, but as a key part of economic development strategy.

“Youʼre cementing good health care for your population thatʼs there, the population thatʼs coming, and youʼre also providing good paying jobs and money for the community,” explained Emon. “He made a very good argument about that. I read it several times, and I hand it out as often as I can, so thatʼs why itʼs included in your package.” With that in mind, Emon said the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village is moving to protect a primary component of economic development and “we need to move on and expand that base.” One issue is the need to construct more ofﬁce space for new doctors,

since the Professional Building and adjacent medical clinic are now near full capacity, with the health services village still anticipating the arrival of eight more doctors by 2014. “We have six signed up and weʼre going to be announcing the seventh in the next little while,” said Emon. “So, we have to ﬁnd a way (to do that), whether in partnership with another facility or a private entity. Weʼll have to ﬁnd a way to have a turnkey operation, because that is the key to bringing people in. “The physician recruitment has been the focus … but thatʼs not what weʼre all about,” stressed Emon.

A successful throw, through the tire, earned a free busy Saturday at Cobdenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Taste of the Valley. It was the last of three Taste of the Valley cookie. events in Renfrew County this season.

Popular and tasty third stop for Taste of the Valley Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

The sixth season of Renfrew County Taste of the Valley events is over, with a good taste in the mouths of vendors and customers. The food-related vendors did as well as any of the more than 100 vendors who participated in the third and last event in the Taste of the Valley series. The event took place Saturday at the Cobden agricultural fair grounds, where business was particularly brisk for those selling edibles, including honey, produce, French fries, smoked ďŹ sh and beef products. The recent tainted-beef scare in western Canada didnĘźt hurt matters, said Renfrew

County business development ofďŹ ce Craig Kelley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know the meat vendors, more than in past years. Food remains among the most popular items. Most food vendors sold out or had very little left at the end of the day.â&#x20AC;? One vendor, Wallace Eady, who was selling honey and smoked ďŹ sh, said he keeps coming back because he likes the Ottawa Valley ďŹ&#x201A;avour of the event. Sean Dennison, who was tending the portable 24-foot climbing wall for RY-JĘźs Climbing Adventures, called CobdenĘźs Taste of the Valley an awesome opportunity for vendors to showcase their products. One of the estimated 5,000 visitors, Sharon Hanniman

of Douglas, loved SaturdayĘźs Taste of the Valley. She called it a wonderful event that offered a wide variety of products. Another customer, Julie Ryan of Bryson, praised the high quality and originality of products available. Just a few of the foodrelated vendors were Island Girl Herbal Garden Retreat, McGregorĘźs Produce, The Fabulous Food Shack and Stoppa Hill (Honey). Vendors Steve and Bonnie Blais, with Stitches, Stories N Stuff (White Lake), said this and last yearĘźs Cobden Taste of the Valley were extremely good for business. Different communities have hosted Taste of the Valley since its inception with about two dozen vendors in

Cobden in 2007. Hosting efforts werenĘźt successful in Petawawa and Arnprior, but it appears the mainstays will be Renfrew, BarryĘźs Bay and Cobden. RenfrewĘźs date will be switched from August to later September next season, while BarryĘźs Bay remains in midAugust and Cobden in mid-

October. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Taste of the Valley is now a brand that people identify with,â&#x20AC;? said Kelley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They know they can get good quality food. ItĘźs also good for them because they know theyĘźre buying locally.â&#x20AC;? Taste of the Valley is coordinated by the County of Renfrew, with the help of the

vendorĘźs registration fees. For Cobden they were $25 each, but $50 for those inside the agricultural hall. Fees were also kept low with the help of major sponsorship from ProTyre of Renfrew. The county spent $12,000 this year on such Taste of the Valley expenses as hall rentals, promotions and entertainment.

Heideman and Hokum each win two timber bids A-B applies for FIT project Peter Clark

Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Eganville-area lumber mills fared well in six recent timber tenders to Renfrew County. The county awarded three tenders to Lavern Heideman & Sons, and another to M.W. Miller Logging, also of Eganville. Hokum & Son, of Killaloe, won two bids. All tracts were for red pine, except for an Opeongo Line mixed wood dominated by poplar. The winning bids are listed in order of the successful bidder, amount, next closest bid, and the name of the tract: â&#x20AC;˘ Lavern Heideman, $23,875 ($21,400), Beachburg; â&#x20AC;˘ Lavern Heideman, Heideman and Hokum each win two timber bids $54,560 ($36,000), ByerĘźs Creek; â&#x20AC;˘ Lavern Heideman, $11,700 ($11,466), Sernosk-

ie/SimpsonĘźs Pit; â&#x20AC;˘ Hokum & Son, $39,600 ($24,880), Budd Mills; â&#x20AC;˘ Hokum & Son, $37,400 ($31,900), Indian River; and â&#x20AC;˘ M.W. Miller, $34,149 ($33,600), Opeongo Line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got O.K. prices,â&#x20AC;? said Renfrew County forestry services manager Jeff Muzzi. â&#x20AC;&#x153;TheyĘźre reďŹ&#x201A;ective of the realities of the forest industry. Times are tough.â&#x20AC;? Seven companies offered one or more bids, including ďŹ rms out of Wilno, BarryĘźs Bay, Palmer Rapids and Pembroke. Each year, 400 to 500 acres of the county forests are harvested. The county has 51 tracts spread over 16,000 acres. Typically, well-thinned red pine can be planted and forested within seven to 10 years, says Muzzi. Over the last seven years, Muzzi says the countyĘźs price for red pine has gone up and done, with lower prices in

2007 and 2008, higher prices in 2009 and 2010 and somewhat more modest prices in 2011 and 2012. \ EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION

The County of Renfrew hosts its annual employee recognition and retirement banquet Thursday, Oct. 25. The 7 p.m. dinner takes place at the Rankin Culture and Recreation Centre. Tickets cost $25. They can be purchased by calling human resources administrative assistant Evelyn VanStarkenburg at 613-735-7288. A total of 77 employees are scheduled to receive service awards for working 10 or more years. The employees come from human resources, development and property, social services, ďŹ nance, public works, Miramichi Lodge (Pembroke) or Bonnechere Manor (Renfrew) Of the 77, two will be rec-

ognized for 35 years of service and nine others for 30 years. Eighteen retirees, including nine from Bonnechere Manor, will also be honoured. NEW CULTURE WEBSITE

The ofďŹ cial launch of the Ottawa Valley Culture website was Sept. 21 at the Champlain Trail Museum in Pembroke. The website is described as a cultural mapping site that gathers information on â&#x20AC;&#x153;our rich and diverse cultural assets in the Ottawa Valley, such as arts and heritage organizations, cultural occupations and industries, cultural and natural heritage, and also explores stories, traditions and unique quality of life that shapes our identity and sense of place.â&#x20AC;? To visit the website, see www.ottawavalleyculture.ca.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;WeĘźre about economic development and we know thereĘźs other things to do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;IĘźve been beating a drum that we should be the body and fender shop,â&#x20AC;? explained Emon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We should be doing hip and knee replacements, something like the Shouldice Clinic does with hernias. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the other two levels of government ďŹ gure out what they want to do, as they try to cut spending, I think thereĘźs an ideal opportunity in the next three to ďŹ ve years for unique and different medical practices or quasi-business models.â&#x20AC;? Emon suggested the next frontier for medicine would include a quasi-public system that involves public funding and private management. As OntarioĘźs population ages, Emon said itĘźs â&#x20AC;&#x153;realistic weĘźll have to do things differently.â&#x20AC;?

At present, the health services village continues its doctor-recruitment campaign, with a lack of local doctors and the knowledge that several local physicians will retire in the not-too-distant future. Doctor shortages arenĘźt just being felt in the Ottawa Valley, either, said Emon. He says the Fraser Institute reported last year that Canada had a physician-to-patient ratio of 2.6 to 1,000, which placed Canada 26th among 28 developed countries that have publicly-funded health care systems. RAHSV contributes to physician recruitment in various ways. These include administrative services and an incentive program that pays each recruit $25,000 for each of the doctorĘźs ďŹ rst six years in the Renfrew area. This helps cover extensive expenses incurred during medical training. The recruits are also re-

quired to reside in one of the four local municipalities. FIRST RECRUITS

The ďŹ rst doctors recruited have been Jennifer Arcand, Angela Varrin, Shanti Nemani, Jessica Bodig, Phillipe Pinard and Susan Krajewski. Most are already working out of Renfrew, but Dr. Varrin starts her family medical practice in July 2013. While delighted with RAHSVĘźs success to date, Renfrew Mayor Ringrose also said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reality is we want to keep the momentum going (through fundraising and longterm commitments from local municipalities to ďŹ nancial support RAHSVĘźs work).â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not the role, in any way, shape or form, of municipal government to become a health provider,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Briscoe. At the same time, she called doctor recruitment

a form of economic development that â&#x20AC;&#x153;taxpayers want to fund.â&#x20AC;? A similar presentation was scheduled for tonight before Admaston-Bromley council, following presentations to Horton, Greater Madawaska and Renfrew councils.

Admaston-Bromley Coun. Mike Donohue has provided council with options for plans regarding a solar-eneregy FIT (feed-in tariff) project for the roof of the township ofďŹ ce at 477 Stone Road. In June 2011, a pre-feasibility study conducted by Essex Energy determined that a Micro-FIT 10 kilowatt system was the best option for the township with ground mount or rooftop panels, Coun. Donohue reported to council Oct. 4. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, capital costs have decreased and panels have become more efďŹ cient. Even with the new reduced pricing, the original pre-feasibility study is no longer valid,â&#x20AC;?

he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The return is insufďŹ cient to proceed with that,â&#x20AC;? Presently, the township would receive 54.8 cents per kilowatt hour. Under new FIT 2.0 rules, the cost to ďŹ le an application is 50 cents per kw/hour with an application cost of about $500, the councillor explained. The system would include 198 panels at 250 watts per panel for a system of about 49.5 kw It will generate about $30,000 each year in revenue, with half going to pay off the system over 20 years. The application must be ďŹ led by Nov. 1, 2012. Mayor Briscoe expects it to be well into 2013 before council learns if the application is successful. R0011677817-1018

LAURA MEULLER/METROLAND

Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty on election night. He resgiend Monday night.

Scandals forced McGuinty to resign: opposition MPPs Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

Neither he nor Yakabuski put much weight on the issue of public sector pay freezes. They lament that spending cuts wonʼt go ahead; the legislation failed to pass before the prorogation. But the idea that, if McGuinty realized the suspension of collective bargaining is somehow illegal, he needed prorogation as an escape hatch; that is something MacLaren calls a side issue. “The freeze doesnʼt happen,” he said. “All the measures that needed to be taken wonʼt get done now because of the proroguing.” CONWAY’S TAKE

Long-time former Liberal MPP Sean Conway appeared on TVOʼs The Agenda with Steve Paikin moments after McGuintyʼs Oct. 15 announcement. He said the party leader was “leaving with some unﬁnished business” and “pesky issues,” but that the prorogation gave all parties time to cool down. He added that family matters play a role in a leaderʼs decision to step down, but that there is never a best time to leave politics. “He said that he needed time to reconnect to his family,” Conway said on The Agenda. “There is no easy and good way to leave.” MacLaren doesnʼt have much sympathy with that perspective. He said all MPPs have family commitments, but that the people of Ontario expect work to get done.

Dalton McGuintyʼs revelation that he will step down as premier didnʼt come as a surprise to two area opposition MPPs. But it is the prorogation of the legislature that has them most upset. Both Jack MacLaren and John Yakabuski figured the resignation was coming soon; largely, they say, because scandals such as eHealth, the Ontario Lottery, Presto cards, and Ornge were growing insurmountable. And yet none was made to stick to whom many called The Teflon Premier. “Theyʼve never gotten nailed to the cross on these sorts of things,” said MacLaren, MPP for Carleton-Mississippi Mills. However, it is the latest controversy, involving the Ontario Power Authority (OPA), which MacLaren and the MPP from RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke say led to the prorogation. “Thatʼs a travesty,” MacLaren said. “I call that a crime.” The OPA issue saw accusations that the government interfered with contracts related to the creation of gas plants in Oakville and Mississauga. The Progressive Conservatives say it was done to save seats during the last election. Now taxpayers are on the hook to the tune of $650 million to cancel the contracts. Both opposition parties have tried to find out what

role Energy Minister Chris Bentley played in the ﬁasco. They say by not providing information to the speaker of the house, contempt charges – with a maximum penalty of a criminal conviction – could be levelled against Bentley. Some 36,000 heavily-redacted documents were provided; another 20,000 were handed over Oct. 12 after the Liberals spotted an apparent oversight. “This was an orchestrated attempt to deny the people information,” Yakabuski said. “The prorogation of the house is the real tragedy here. This is about telling the public the truth around these power plants.” The prorogation means no work will be done until a new Liberal leader and premier is selected, likely not for another three to six months. At that time the new leader could suspend the legislature and call an election. That puts an end to the committee investigating the issue. If the Liberals win a majority, they will likely bury it by not reconstituting the committee, Yakabuski explained. If the PCs or NDP win a majority, they can look into the matter to see how much money was lost, but that the primary players will have already been tossed. “Itʼs absolutely a point of principle, and democracy,” Yakabuski said. MacLaren is livid that a year of minority government has produced little in the way of substance, and that the next few months could see even less.

HORTON RECREATION COMMITTEE PRESENTS COUNTRY DANCE featuring

THE COUNTRYMEN FRIDAY OCT. 19th 8 P.M. – 12 A.M. SUBMITTED

MP Gallant chats with a farmer at the Cobden Sales Barn.

Gallant joins area farmers in Cobden MP Cheryl Gallant recently met with Renfrew County farmers at the weekly livestock auction at the Cobden sale barn to find out first-hand the state of their industry. “On behalf of area livestock producers, I am pleased to thank residents for their continuing support of local farmers,” said Gallant in a news release from her office. “The quality of the Canadian food supply chain is second to none, both here at home and around the world. That is as true today as it will be next week or next year. “This summer, in addition to the regular challenges farmers face, we have had to deal with extreme drought in

parts of this county, and now a problem in a western Canadian meat packing plant. While I am confident that the Minister of Agriculture is working to resolve this situation is quickly as possible, consumer confidence is something that is earned, not given. Whatever needs to be fixed must happen immediately. Gallantʼs news release said Canadian farmers produce safe, high-quality food. “A recent investment of over $415,000 to help the Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) update its existing Trucking Food Safety Program to include the latest food safety standards, regulations, and practices is just one of

the many ways we meet this goal,” the news release said. “These improvements reduce the risk of food contamination beyond the farm gate and give food processors, distributors, and retailers more conﬁdence that their products are handled properly during transportation. A strong food safety system also reassures Canadians of the safety of their food, which in turn helps to boost the bottom lines of farmers,” the release stated. “When it comes to the safe preparation of food, nothing has changed. Always wash fresh vegetables and make sure any meat is properly cooked. It is common sense,” said Gallant.

Report from Parliament Hill Cheryl Gallant Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP

I hope everyone had a pleasant Thanksgiving. I am pleased to confirm, that effective immediately, the Government of Canada will deliver increased benefits to Canadian Forces veterans. This will be accomplished by ending the deduction of Veteransʼ disability pensions when calculating their Earnings Loss and Canadian Forces Income Support benefits. A disability pension will no longer be considered when calculating the War Veterans Allowance benefit. Officials will also be reviewing the records of those who are eligible for the Earnings Loss Benefit and may now be able to receive a payment. Earnings Loss Benefit and Canadians Forces Income Support Benefit recipients who are also in receipt of a disability pension from Veterans Affairs Canada may see a significant increase in their payment in the coming weeks. All affected recipients will be notified in writing with details of the recalculation and change to their payment. If you are a CF Veteran and you have questions, please contact my constituency office. WORK WHILE ON CLAIM EI PILOT PROJECT ADJUSTED

As a result of concerns raised regarding the new EI Working While on Claim Pilot Project, by my fellow Conservative MPs and I, the

Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development will adjust the Employment Insurance (EI) Working While on Claim pilot project. The current pilot project allows claimants to keep 50 cents for every dollar they earn from working while on claim. It removes the previous pilot projectʼs cap on earnings, which clawed back 100 per cent of earnings over $75 or 40 per cent which discouraged Canadians from accepting more available work. Under the announced adjustment, those EI recipients who were working while on claim between Aug. 7, 2011 and Aug. 4, 2012 will be given the option of reverting to the rules that existed under the previous pilot program. This change will go into effect Jan. 6, 2013, but it will be applied retrospectively to Aug. 5, 2012 – the start of the new pilot program. For those who choose this option, their EI benefits will not be reduced on earnings made while on claim for the first $75 or 40 percent of their benefits, whichever is greater – the same as the previous pilot program. However, all earnings above that threshold will reduce their EI benefits dollar for dollar. Beginning Jan. 6, 2013, eligible claimants must make the request to revert to the old pilot parameters within 30 days of their last EI benefit payment. For claims that have already ended, claimants will have 30 days from the introduction of this option.

6 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, October 18, 2012

Eligible claimants will be required to make this request for any subsequent claims for the duration of the new pilot project, which runs from Aug. 5, 2012, until Aug. 1, 2015. For an eligible claimant who does not choose to be considered under the previous pilot rules, all current and future claims will be processed under the new Working While on Claim pilot rules. For an eligible claimant, if they make the decision to opt for the previous pilot, they will not be able to revert to the new pilot during the same EI claim. In addition, if, in a subsequent claim, they receive Working While on Claim benefits under the new pilot introduced on August 5, 2012 they will not be allowed to opt for the old pilot should they file another claim the following year. As your Federal Member of Parliament, I am pleased to represent you on a variety of issues. Whether that issue is eliminating the long gun registry, promoting agriculture, international trade, AECL, the military or jobs in the working forest, I am here to serve you.

Arbitration reform problematic: law experts Politicians who vow to cap public sector salaries might be promising the impossible Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

City and provincial politicians are calling for arbitration reform as a way to rein in public sector wage increases. But at least two labour law experts say changes could prove difficult to achieve or possibly result in a less desirable system. Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren and his PC party have proposed legislation to force arbitrators to factor in taxpayersʼ ability to pay when it comes to settlements. MacLaren argues that a deep deficit and slow economy is proof enough that taxpayers canʼt afford to keep giving pay hikes to police and others deemed essential. “Itʼs time to stand up for taxpayers by fixing a broken system that awards unaffordable contract settlements to government union employees,” MacLaren penned in a recent column. “All arbitratorsʼ decisions must consider specific economic and

budgetary factors, like the taxpayers ability to pay, when making decisions.” West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry has long expressed frustration that arbitrators can force elected politicians to pay more than they want to – or campaigned on – for services. “The thing is that arbitrators are unelected; they are appointed and they donʼt care. At the end of the day he can say, ʻYou have the ability to pay,ʼ” El-Chantiry said. “Itʼs always about increasing taxes. The ʻability to payʼ is a joke.” However, Prof. Michael MacNeil in the faculty of law at Carleton University says politicians are not just elected representatives; they are employers. That means there are laws preventing politicians from performing certain actions – regardless of whether they made campaign promises such as an annual cap on tax increases. “If itʼs all based on political decisions, that completely eviscerates the rights of employees,” MacNeil said, adding that tampering with an arbitratorʼs neutrality harms two basic rights: freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining. That would mean – in the case of police and others considered essential and not allowed to strike –

the likely rise of illegal strikes and other job actions. “It is quite natural,” MacNeil said. “Should (public) workers subsidize taxpayers? Thatʼs the counter argument.” TAX CORPORATIONS

The PCsʼ position that government canʼt get money to pay for raises is difﬁcult to accept, MacNeil said, when Ontario has the lowest corporate tax rate among members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The province also has a corporate tax rate lower than many European jurisdictions. El-Chantiry, chairman of the police board, again in September asked the McGuinty Liberals to “exercise ﬁscal restraint” when negotiating with the OPP, because a settlement with the provincial force often sets the stage for increases among municipal forces. The Liberals recently proposed stiffer rules for arbitrators, but the PCs and NDP rejected the plan. Even the Drummond Report contained suggestions for dealing with the process. The former TD Bank chief economist, Don Drummond, last February released a 665page report calling for deep spending cuts. If not, he warned that the prov-

ince will face a crippling $30-billion deficit by 2017-18. El-Chantiry said police settlements in remote or more dangerous areas shouldnʼt affect deals made in Ottawa, but insists they do. MacNeil doubts that is the case. Arbitrators are capable of rejecting irrelevant evidence. “Arbitrators are not stupid,” he said. Prof. Kevin Banks in the faculty of law at Queenʼs University allowed the possibility that arbitrators may infrequently accept weak comparables. But poor or novel decisions can go both ways. He describes a hypothetical situation where nurses are asking for pay equity with police officers. Arbitrators, he said, are conservative and usually base decisions solely on past precedent. Thatʼs how they develop a desirable reputation among future negotiating teams on both sides. “They tend to have a lot of experience in labour relations,” he said. “But they donʼt impose big changes.” He suspects an “ability to pay” law would be difficult to define and require a lot of evidence on behalf of governments to prove. “Itʼs not at all obvious how you would structure that.” Banks said the arbitration process has positives and negatives, but that

it is at least a place where reasoned arguments and reasoned decisions are held. He added that arbitrators attempt to replicate market-based labour decisions, although that can be difﬁcult because often public employees are doing work with no private sector equivalent. However, he echoed MacNeilʼs point that public workers shouldnʼt be left to the whim of elected politicians. “There is a strong tradition in arbitration law that taxpayers shouldnʼt get public services at a discount,” Banks said. While the province appears poised to move ahead with legislation banning strikes and freezing wages on teachers, the Charter of Rights could prevent it from sticking, Banks said. On the other hand, he asks why the province can do it and municipalities canʼt? The answer, he said, is that the province hasnʼt conferred those powers on the municipalities. MacNeil and Banks agree municipal politicians who vow to rein in spending on salary increases walk a ﬁne line. “I can understand why that would be a frustrating situation; one of the tools for cost containment isnʼt in your tool kit,” Banks said. “You should know what you can and canʼt do before you start making promises.”

Hot dogs unleashed for off-leash dogs

Renfrew firefighters helped the campaign for an off-leash dog park in Renfrew by barbecuing hamburgers and hot dogs at Ma-Te-Way Park recently. The fundraiser was a great success with all the activity in the park, including a sports day and fire truck rodeo, as well as hockey and ringette inside the arena. Above, Renfrew firefighter Wes Thomson loads up the plate of server Linda Kidd, a member of the off-leash dog park committee, which is raising funds to set up an area for dogs at Ma-Te-Way Park.

Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey championship will provide a hockey feast for fans Hockey starved fans will soon be treated to a feast, when Ottawa plays host to the 2013 IIHF Ice Hockey WomenĘźs Championship next April. The games will take place at the Nepean Sportsplex and Scotiabank Place from April 2 to 9, with the worldĘźs top 10 teams competing for the world championship. The tournament comes as welcome news to a city struggling with the loss of revenue from the National Hockey League lockout. ThereĘźs no telling how long the lockout will last â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it could range anywhere from a month to an entire season. Fans have been placed once again in the middle of a dispute between owners and players over revenue sharing, a conďŹ&#x201A;ict that has left

casualties among hotels, restaurants and other businesses that depend on money generated by NHL games. The womenĘźs world hockey championship is expected to generate $30 million in economic activity, according to Cyril Leeder, president of Senators Sports and Entertainment, one of the hosts of the tournament during a press conference on Oct. 11. The games are also expected to bring in an estimated 200,000 spectators, he said. Spectators who will rent hotel rooms, purchase food at restaurants and buy gas at gas stations, boosting the cityĘźs economy and encouraging temporary job creation. The last time a Canadian city hosted the womenĘźs world hockey championship, in

2007, the games generated $29 million in the city of Winnipeg. The games also promise some exciting hockey, with the best players in the world competing for their countries. Some of these players will be putting on the Team Canada jersey for the ďŹ rst time and competing for their country on an international stage, an honour that overshadows any medal count or the amount of money generated by the tournament. Fans will also be treated to a revival of the long-standing rivalry between Team Canada and Team USA, traditionally two of the best teams in womenĘźs hockey. The tournament will also serve to inspire a new generation of hockey players, some of

whom may aspire to one day compete on a national and international stage. LetĘźs face it, womenĘźs hockey does not receive the same amount of coverage or support as menĘźs hockey. If the NHL lockout wipes out the 2012-13 season, people wonĘźt be distracted by the playoffs, giving a boost to the proďŹ le and fan base of womenĘźs hockey. The federal government has announced it will support the tournament to the tune of $500,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a welcome investment in our national sport. The womenĘźs world hockey championship serves as a reminder that NHL hockey isnĘźt the only game in town.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Renfrew citizens generous To the editor: The citizens of Renfrew have once again shown they are a generous people. So many of you donated what you could to members of the Renfrew Children/Youth Chorus as they stood with dedicated parents at several locations Friday and Saturday (Sept. 28 and 29), collecting to help pay for trips that we take to perform at various venues. A big thank you to Janie Bilson who spearheaded this event. Thanks also to those businesses who allowed us to use their space: Canadian Tire, Giant Tiger, Metro, No Frills and Rexall.

Last April, members of the choir were invited by the adjudicator, Giles Bryant, and the Pembroke Kiwanis Music Festival (who also donated $200, and Matt Brydges, who gave his time and talent) to record two songs, which we sent to the Provincial Music Festival ďŹ nals. You may be very proud of these talented young people who placed third in the province in their category. Thanks also to the hard work of Pat Maloney, Judy Borer and Jessica Belanger. Congratulations. Keep up the excellent work. Sister Margaret Joan Pecore Renfrew

Why is Gallant cutting food inspection? To the editor: In June, MP Cheryl Gallant chose to make signiďŹ cant cuts to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency in the omnibus budget bill. Liberals voted against these cuts because Canadians deserve to feel conďŹ dent that their food supply is protected just as our farmers and ranchers deserve safe and stable business. On Sept. 3, a shipment of beef from an XL Foods facility in Brooks, Alberta was found by U.S. food inspectors to be contaminated with E. coli 0157 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the same pathogen responsible for seven deaths and more than 2,300 illnesses in Walkerton, Ont. From the time that US inspectors notiďŹ ed the CFIA about the contamination on Sept. 4 until they ďŹ nally issued a recall on over 250 meat products, two weeks passed. In that time, the U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service had already delisted the Brooks facility from exporting meat to the United States. It took another 10 days before the XL plant was closed.

The recall grew into the largest meat recall in Canadian history, spanning all provinces and territories, plus 41 states. In the meantime, at least 10 people fell ill, including a young girl who went into kidney failure. Conservative messaging that everything is ďŹ ne is cold comfort to those who are sick or were exposed to E coli. No one wants to see Canadians get sick from eating tainted meat â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so why is Mrs. Gallant supporting cuts that remove vital resources from food safety professionals and creating a space where the industry is responsible for more and more of its self-regulation? Waiting for Canadians to get sick is not a food safety strategy. Liberals support our scientists and professionals who are on the front line of food safety and call on Mrs. Gallant to do the same. Frank Valeriote, MP Liberal Party Critic for Agriculture and Agri-Food

Volunteers are doing a great job, so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no reason we should convert rural departments to full-time. But each department should have a small contingent of fulltimers mixed in to take leadership roles.

Each fire department should have a core of full-timers supplemented by a few volunteers, who could be full-timers in training if they wished.

D) Most of us may be happy now, but our wasteful environmental and economic policies donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bode well for the generations to come.

Two volunteers recognized for efforts To the editor: The members of the McNab-Braeside Heritage & Museum Committee would like to thank and recognize publicly the outstanding contributions made by two of our recently retired members. Barrie Stewart joined the committee in 1998 and was named chairman in 1999. He provided the committee with excellent leadership, as the members adjusted to many changes including the development of the beautiful gardens at Waba Cottage. As chair, Barrie attended many meetings throughout the county representing our interests in addition to providing oversight of many projects ongoing at our museum grounds for the past 14 years. The second individual is Brenda Storie. Brenda has been a member of the committee for almost 30 years. When the museum committee was ap-

proached about having gardens created to commemorate the millennium, Brenda embraced the idea enthusiastically. She took a leave from her place of work to spend her time working on the development of the gardens in 2000. For the past 12 years she has co-ordinated volunteers for work days, taken the bookings for weddings and events at the grounds, acted as secretary to the committee, and worked continually at planning, planting and maintaining the various gardens. She also trained and provided supervision for our many excellent summer students in addition to providing advice to our museum attendant. What remarkable contributions made to our township by these long-time volunteers. Neil Stewart, Acting Chair McNab-Braeside Heritage & Museum Committee

Honour 2-Minute Wave of Silence Nov. 11 To the editor: An invitation to the General Public of Renfrew and Surrounding Area. In recent years, the members of The Royal Canadian Legion have asked the towns and cities, schools, businesses and churches, and citizens of Canada to stop for two minutes at 11 a.m. on November 11 and pay special tribute to the 116,000 Canadians who have given their lives in war to defend Canada. The silence begins in Newfoundland and sweeps across the country like a wave, as the clock strikes 11 a.m. in each time zone. The objective is simply to allow as many Canadians as possible to participate in Remembrance Day. The Wave of Silence has received resounding support from Canadians in all parts of Canada. In previous years, trains stopped, factory workers paused and school children partici-

pated in record numbers in remembering the heroic sacriﬁces of the men and women who went to war in the 20 century. We come to you again this year to solicit your support for the 2 Minute Wave of Silence. We urge you to encourage your staff and clients, your students and neighbours to sustain the momentum achieved in the observance of Remembrance and in the special tribute paid to the men and women to whom all Canadians owe so much. Thank you for your support. Please help us to make the 2 Minute Wave of Silence a continuing tradition of Remembrance in Canada. Yours sincerely, Randy Dowell President Royal Canadian Legion Branch 148 Renfrew

Miss Crosby prepares students for the world

BY MARY COOK

Crosby. And Marguirite was constantly bringing a treat for the teacher. This time of year it would be an apple. Often Miss Crosby would have an apple every day from the hateful little girl with the drug-storebought curls. And I would watch to see what the teacher would do with it. I never saw her eat the apple, but it would be taken home with her, and I liked to think she maybe threw it away when she got far enough away from the school! But more than likely it was put into a pie or apple crisp. I have no idea what Miss Crosby did with the boxes of hankies, the cheap tin cans of talcum powder, and the countless bars of soap she got at Christmas time. But I do remember getting a little note of thanks every year. She would make sure the notes were all written at the same time, and they would be on our desks waiting for us. The notes were never mailed. After all, it cost three cents for a postage stamp back then! She never seemed to have a big wardrobe. In the winter, it was a simple black wool dress, and in the summer a printed silk. She had a variety of crocheted collars that she attached to both to bring a variety to what she wore. And she wore black-laced shoes with thick rubber on the heels.

10 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, October 18, 2012

De-Boned

My brother Emerson said the heels were like that so that she could creep up on you without being heard. Miss Crosby loved the King and Queen. And she loved the bible. Every morning, of course, she read a scripture lesson, and we all recited the Lordʼs Prayer in unison. We were supposed to sit ramrod straight in our seats, with our heads bowed, and our hands forming steeples for the prayer. And heaven help us if we were caught with our eyes open. And then we had to stand at attention by our seats, and Miss Crosby blew on a little tin piece that gave us all the musical note to start on, and with our right hand over our hearts, we belted out ʻGod Save the Kingʼ. Even those who couldnʼt carry a note in a slop-pail were expected to sing! Or course, Marguirite could be heard in Admaston! Miss Crosby was high on manners. It didnʼt matter who came to the door at the Northcote School, we were expected to get out of our seats, noiselessly of course, and stand at attention until told to sit down. If it was the inspector, Miss Crosby would introduce him, and we had to say, and again in unison, “Good Morning” or “Good Afternoon” and repeat the inspectorʼs name. When Mother said Miss Crosby was a saint, I believed her. Her salary was only a few hundred dollars a year, and Mother said she earned every cent of it. And when you left the Northcote School, having graduated from the Entrance Class, you were ready for whatever road lay ahead. Miss Crosby saw to that.

Mary Cook’s Memories About once a year just about every family in the community would have the teacher over night on a weekend. That meant, of course, that she would attend church with the family on the Sunday, and it didnʼt matter what church they attended, the teacher was expected to go with them. And so Miss Crosby could be an United one week, and a Lutheran the next. And what a thrill it was to have the teacher for over night! The house would have a cleaning from top to bottom, just like it got in the Spring or Fall! Floors were scrubbed up and downstairs, and, of course, a spotlessly clean kitchen and bedclothes fresh off the line were necessary, and enough food to feed a thrashing gang would be prepared. Of course, when it was our turn to host the teacher, she couldnʼt be expected to walk the three and a half miles my brothers and sister and I had to trudge to and from school. No Father would take the buggy in the summer and the cutter in the winter to fetch her to our old log house. And that weekend, I felt so smug. I knew for a fact that Marguirite had asked Miss Crosby at least three or four times during the school year to go to her home for the weekend. But Miss Crosby wouldnʼt dream of that. No, everything was fair and square with Miss

Miss Crosby was fair to a fault, and yet she stood for no nonsense. Most of the boys in Senior Fourth at the Northcote School were a couple heads taller than she was, but she had no trouble handing out discipline to any of them when the need arose. We all had a healthy fear of Miss Crosby, and that included Cecil and my brother Emerson, both of whom seemed to attract trouble like ants to a plate of honey. The strap that hung on the side of her desk from a cup hook was a constant reminder that if anyone stepped out of line, she would use it in a split second! And when she did, the whack was enough to raise her off her feet. So needless to say, just looking at the black leather demon was enough to keep us on our best behaviour. Back then the teacher was right up there in importance with the family doctor or the member of parliament. And each was treated with the utmost respect. Miss Crosby was lucky to live in the community, not like some rural teachers who had to “room and board” at one of the local farms. She could walk to school. And she had the patience of a saint. Bad Marguirite was enough to try anyoneʼs patience, but Miss Crosby knew exactly how to handle the girl who was the bane of my existence. Marguirite never did anything bad enough to warrant the strap, but she aggravated the daylights out of me, mostly because she was the only one in her family, and had the best of everything. A real leather school bag, for instance. And a tin box for her lunch! Such luxury.

A Trail of Two Citrus fundraiser at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School

Pancake Breakfast

Abby Hall Jaguar Journal

Music is an integral part of the culture here at St. Joeʼs. The Jazz Band, organized and conducted by teacher Don MacLeod, is a well known extra curricular activity. The jazz band is made up of a group of students who share the same passion for music and performing. Often these students will also be involved in the choir, musical or other performing arts groups. The students practise once a week after school throughout the entire year. During that time they build skills, conﬁdence and friendships. Each year, the band learns a couple of new instrumental pieces of music. Playing various instruments in top condition, the band then travels and performs at various venues. These include Christmas concerts, coffee houses, orientation and an annual trip to Toronto to play at Canadaʼs Wonderland. The Jazz Band also travels to local elementary schools to play, showing younger kids just how much fun it is to be involved during their high school year. St. Joeʼs has always had some type of band or music group. MacLeod stepped in

Central Experimental Farm curator to talk about early 1900s tractor trials Bromley Historical Society

In the early 1900s, a critical debate raged in the rural areas of Canada â&#x20AC;&#x201C; should horses or tractors be used? The Bromley Historical Society invites the public to a talk, The Winnipeg Tractor Trials: Getting Tractors Down on the Farm, to be given by Franz Klingender, curator of the Canada Agriculture Museum, Central Experimental Farm. This event will take place on Saturday, Oct. 20, at 2 p.m. in the old town hall, 498 Micksburg Road, Osceola. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the early years,â&#x20AC;? Mr. Klingender said in a recent interview, â&#x20AC;&#x153;some farmers were convinced that internal combustion tractors were merely a passing fad. Others, however, were very receptive to the

new technology.â&#x20AC;? The switch in plowing power on Canadian farms did not occur overnight. Many government and industry-driven efforts were required to convince farmers to make the change. The Winnipeg Tractor Trials, ďŹ rst held in 1908 and continuing annually until 1913, were one of the pivotal attempts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the Grieg brothers, who taught agriculture technology, that were instrumental in organizing the trials,â&#x20AC;? Mr. Kingender continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tractors were categorized on the basis of weight and horsepower. Each tractor was put through a series of three tests. It was decided that the results would allow the farmers to make their own decision.â&#x20AC;? In Canada, most of the agricultural implement manufacturers grew out of

blacksmith shops. Canadian ownership was seen as a bonus and played to the Canadian nationalism of the time. But when the First World War got underway, the shortage of draft horses and the tractorĘźs increasing economical efďŹ ciency, made pervasive arguments for tractors. The Bromley Historical Society talk is an excellent follow-up to the recent Renfrew Plowing Match. These events build on a 100-year tradition and continue to demonstrate the skill needed to handle a walking plow and manage a ďŹ ne team of horses. As the former Bromley Township was and is predominantly agricultural, this talk offers the opportunity to learn about agriculture in past years and how its current practise came about.

Family and Childrenʼs Services is looking for a more foster parents. Thatʼs the message FCS Resource Supervisor Marjorie Walker wants everyone to hear loud and clear. The subject of recruiting new members to the ranks of foster parents in the county wasnʼt far from her mind during the recent FCS Foster Parents and Friends Appreciation Night. “Right now, we have about 130 approved foster homes, but with more than 260 children in care,” said Walker. “We have homes with one, two or three children. They may be sibling groups, they may be unrelated. We are always faced with the need for a home for a young child, an older child, a mid-school-age child and sibling groups of two or three.” “People may think ʻWow, 130 homes! Thatʼs pretty good for Renfrew County, population 100,000.ʼ But, truthfully, there are a lot of children in our area who need homes, whether it is for short-term, long-term or permanent care.” Recruitment to the foster ranks will always be a challenge given the often difﬁcult circumstances children are arriving from. It should come as no surprise that many in attendance were recruited to the cause by other foster parents. “A current foster parent is the best public relations for the agency to ﬁnd someone and talk to them about fostering, to learn if itʼs right for them, and to help bring those people into our fold,” said Walker. For more information about becoming a foster parent, please visit http://www.fcsrenfrew.on.ca or contact Ann Hubert, Resource Admin Support, Family and Childrenʼs Services of Renfrew County, 613-735-6866, ext. 4060.

Foster Parents and Volunteers Drivers were recognized by Family and Childrenʼs Services (FCS) of Renfrew County on Sept. 28. This annual appreciation night is organized by FCS to recognize the hard work and sacriﬁce foster parents make in helping children in need. This year, the event had a ʻDisco Feverʼ theme, where participants were invited to don a 70ʼs wardrobe and enjoy an evening of fun and good food, and reacquaint themselves with the extended foster community. The highlight of the evening was the Stretching Reality magic show, featuring Steven Anthony. In addition, area businesses once again stepped up in donating a wide array of door prizes. The numerous sponsors were thanked for their support of this special evening. Awards were also given to foster parents for their years of service, ranging from ﬁve to 35 years. Shirley and Beatty Pilgrim of Renfrew were on hand to accept their 25 Years of Service recognition award. Having such an event that recognizes those involved in the foster vocation is important for FCS members. Many foster parents must maintain a delicate balancing act between raising their own biological children and overseeing the care of a foster child in cooperation with FCS. “When you are a foster parent, thereʼs a whole system involved in the childʼs life and you are just one part of it,” said Walker. “This is just that one night where we try to bring as many resource families, staff and volunteers together to thank them, to celebrate what they do for the children of Renfrew County.”

Renfrew OPP lay theft charges after investigations at Wal-Mart Several theft investigations at Wal-Mart in Renfrew and one at Macʼs Convenience store have been solved after two arrests on Friday, Oct. 12. A male and female were observed stealing items from Wal-Mart about 2:25 p.m. and were followed when they left the store. Renfrew OPP ofﬁcers located and arrested both suspects nearby. A stolen camouﬂage jacket was recovered. As a result of reviewing store security camera footage from two previous theft investigations, a 22-year-old Renfrew woman was charged with possession of stolen property, breach of probation and three counts of theft under $5,000. She was released on a promise to appear in court on Nov. 28.

A Renfrew man, 33, was also charged with four counts of theft under $5,000 and one charge of failing to comply with an undertaking. He was held in custody for a bail hearing on Oct. 15. Det. Const. Joey Limlaw led the investigation. IMPAIRED DRIVER

One female is facing charges of impaired driving after another motorist reported an erratic driver on Highway 17 near Arnprior. OPP ofﬁcers responded to the report on Saturday Oct. 13 shortly after midnight. The suspect vehicle was stopped on Calabogie Road. The female was arrested at the scene, and brought to the detachment for breath tests. As

a result, a 23-year-old Winchester woman was charged with impaired driving and driving over 80 mgs. She was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew Nov. 14.

Connor Dorzek is a young lad on a mission. “I am fundraising for Connorʼs Cuts for Cancer, where I am raising money to support the mission of the Canadian Cancer Society,” the 10-year-old Our Lady of Fatima School student says on his personal page. His Connorʼs Cuts for Cancer event date is tentatively scheduled for Jan. 25, 2013. “It all depends if my hair is long enough,” he says. “Right now, my hair is about ﬁve and a half inches long and it has to be six and a half to seven inches long. I may have to move my date into February. “My head shave will be done at Our Lady of Fatima School where I am in Grade 6,” Connor adds. “My goal is to raise $1,200, but more would be nice.” Connorʼs hair will be donated to make wigs for cancer patients. “I decided to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society because I wanted to make a difference in someoneʼs life, as so many people did in my time of need,” Connor points out. In 2008, Connor had a stroke and ended up on Life Support for three days. He remained in the ICU at CHEO for 25 days and ended his stay at CHEO in the rehabilitation unit. “My visit at CHEO lasted

SUBMITTED/MISSISSIPPI HY-LINERS

Some line dancers from the Mississippi Hy-Liners celebrated their past season with a pot-luck in mid-September, while reviewing some dances and making plans for their sessions for this fall. The afternoon sessions will start in October in three locations - Almonte, Arnprior and Pakenham. Taking part, from left, are Susan Lockhart, Sandi Skinner, Jean McCarron, Helen Howe, instructor Hyacinth Chatterton, Carol Byce, Patricia Murphy, Edileide Cathcart, Marietta Hildreth and Donna Wickie.

Line-dancing set to resume with new class Participants will line-dance to a wide variety of music â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Western, Swing, Waltz, Latin, Jazz, Country, modern hit tunes and several other genres. Arnprior classes will commence at the Nick Smith Centre on Monday, Oct. 15. Almonte classes will start at the Almonte Community Centre on Wednesday, Oct. 10 and classes at the Stewart Community Centre in Pakenham will begin on Thursday, Oct. 4. Hyacinth Chatterton, instructor for the programs for both the Mississippi Mills and the Nick Smith Centre, pointed out that those who are new to the activity are always pleased when they realize that this form of dancing is so well-suited to participants of all ages. In addition to instructing line-dancing to adults of both genders, Chatterton has volunteered her time, over several years, to introduce and oversee the practice of this dance-form to elementary as well as high-school students in Arnprior, Carleton Place and Renfrew. Chatterton points out that it is an exercise routine that has beneďŹ ts that everyone appre-

ciates. The activity has been described by some as â&#x20AC;&#x153;calorieburning, high-energy, heartpumping,â&#x20AC;? while others recommend it for its â&#x20AC;&#x153;aerobic, ďŹ&#x201A;exibility enhancing, weightbearing and mind-stimulatingâ&#x20AC;? capacities. She says participants readily identify certain aspects of this exercise format that are especially enjoyable: â&#x20AC;˘ how easy it is to learn the simple routines at the beginner Level; â&#x20AC;˘ what fun it is to keep adding progressive sequences to the basics; â&#x20AC;˘ the joy of accomplishment when all the moves start connecting and falling into place; â&#x20AC;˘ how pleasing it is to perform the routines to music featuring hit tunes of the past and the present; â&#x20AC;˘ the ongoing camaraderie between participants, which plays such a vibrant part in this group activity. For further information about the line-dancing programs, call the Town of Mississippi Mills at 613-2561077, the Nick Smith Centre at 613-623-7301 or Chatterton directly at 613-623-0976.

Signing up for the battle against abortion Anne-Marie Merchand and her two sons, Jack, left, and Aidan, of Douglas were among close to 50 participants holding up anti-abortion signs at the annual Life Chain vigil in downtown Renfrew Sept. 30. The Life Chain rallies were held in more than 200 locations simultaneously across Canada.

R0011651294

ItĘźs line-dancing time again in the Valley. This fall, there will be a daytime line-dancing program in Arnprior added to those offered in Almonte and Pakenham, as well as the usual evening sessions. In the past, participants have come to the Mississippi Mills programs from Carleton Place, Carp, Constance Bay, Kanata, Kinburn, Perth, Stittsville, and even as far aďŹ eld as Manotick. Evening classes in Arnprior and Renfrew have been wellestablished for several years, and day-time line-dancing has been available for two full years in Almonte and Pakenham through the Mississippi Mills Recreation Department. The popularity of the programs has prompted organizers to expand the Arnprior offering. For the ďŹ rst time, the Nick Smith CentreĘźs, through the Arnprior Recreation Department, is offering day-time line-dancing beginning in October. Registration is underway at the Nick Smith Centre. The adult programs will run for nine weeks, from 1:30 to 3 p.m.

Renfrew resident Donna LeBlanc is thrilled to have won the $100,000 prize with INSTANT LOTTO 6/49 (Game # 1704), as a special edition $5 INSTANT scratch game celebrating the 30th anniversary of LOTTO 6/49. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very excited!â&#x20AC;? LeBlanc said with a smile while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to claim her prize. The 56-year-old woman originally thought she won $649 until she scanned her ticket at the self-checker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem real at first!â&#x20AC;? said the winner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It started to sink in after I received a call from an OLG representative.â&#x20AC;? When asked how she will spend her windfall, the single mother of one replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I work two jobs so perhaps Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take a vacation!â&#x20AC;? The winning ticket was purchased at Dahlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coin Laundry & Coffee Bar on Stewart Street in Renfrew. OLG is a provincial agency responsible for province-wide lottery games and gaming facilities. Since 1975, OLG lotteries, casinos, slots, and resort casinos have generated more than $36 billion for the benefit of the Province of Ontario. Gaming proceeds support Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospitals, amateur sport, recreational and cultural activities, communities, provincial priority programs such as health care and education, and local and provincial charities and non-profit organizations through the Ontario Trillium Foundation.

October 14th to 21st This is the thirty-third year that the Business Development Bank of Canada has organized Small Business Week, a tribute to Canadian small businesses. From its start as a small event in B.C. in 1979, Small Business Week has grown to become a national celebration with hundreds of activities providing training and development opportunities for entrepreneurs and potential entrepreneurs across the country spread across the whole month of October. The theme of Small Business Week 2012 is “ Aim High! Invest in Your Future”. “To grow, [Canadian entrepreneurs across Canada] need the right people,

technology and business skills to beat the competition both here and abroad. BDC Small Business Week 2012 is about sharing stories of success and helpful, practical advice on how to succeed with those who are ambitious for their companies..” Climbing on my soapbox I say, “Don’t waste the opportunity.” Take part in at least one of the many events on hand. There’s an incredible smorgasbord of conferences, workshops, networking events, panel discussions and podcasts being offered. Sure, Small Business Week is about celebrating the efforts and successes of Canadian small businesses,

but it’s also about learning and the exchange of ideas. Visit the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) Small Business Week 2012 website to see what Small Business Week events are offered in your province, watch your local newspapers and other news sources and call your local Business Chamber of Commerce to find out what’s happening where you live that you can take part in. The BDC Small Business Week 2012 website also offers resources to help you improve your small business or get reinspired such as articles, success stories and Canadian small business statistics.

SENIORS

Your Community Newspaper

MP Gallant joins Seniors Day celebration in Calabogie Oct. 1 was National Seniors Day. “Seniors in our local communities and across Canada deserve our gratitude and recognition for all the valuable contributions they have made and continue to make within our families, workplaces and communities,” said Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant. The Government of Canada ofﬁcially established National Seniors Day in 2010 to provide an occasion for all Canadians to celebrate and appreciate seniors. It coincides with the United Nations International Day of Older Persons. Gallant said the government is work-

ing hard to help improve the lives of seniors on many fronts. She noted those efforts as the introduction of a Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) top-up benefit to help Canadaʼs most vulnerable seniors in 2011. She noted this was the largest increase in 25 years to the GIS, for the lowestincome seniors. “This measure further improves the financial security and well-being of more than 680,000 seniors across Canada. It represents an investment of $1.5 billion over five years,” a news release said. Funding to the New Horizons for Se-

niors Program (NHSP) was also increased by $5 million in Budget 2011, bringing the programʼs annual budget to $45 million. The program helps seniors use their leadership abilities, energy and skills to beneﬁt communities across Canada. A news release from Gallantʼs ofﬁce said the government is providing Canadians with close to $76 billion this year through Canadaʼs public pension system as well as providing $2.5 billion in additional tax relief to seniors and pensioners through measures such as enabling pension income splitting and increasing the age credit in 2012-13.

Moose hunters urged to follow rules, be safe which they are licensed, and need to be able to distinguish the differences between a bull, cow and calf moose. After a moose is killed, the game seal holder must immediately attach the game seal to the moose in the manner prescribed on the seal, and it must remain attached during transportation. Hunters must disassemble and remove any temporary structures erected on Crown land for hunting moose.

With moose hunting season under way in Renfrew County, the Ministry of Natural Resources has issued a reminder that hunters should know and follow the rules, and take necessary safety precautions. Residents must have a valid Ontario Hunting Outdoors card and a licence to hunt moose, while non-residents must have a non-resident licence and must meet certain conditions. Non-residents also need an export permit if they plan to take moose out of the province. All hunters must wear solid hunter orange clothing (minimum of 400 square inches 2,580 square centimetres) and a hunter orange head cover, except during a â&#x20AC;&#x153;bows-onlyâ&#x20AC;? season. A hunter cannot possess a game seal issued to another person. Ontario has a new Moose Tag Transfer Policy; so consult the 2012-2013 Hunting Regulations Summary for more information. Hunters must make sure they are targeting a moose for

PARTY HUNTING REGS

Party hunting means two or more persons hunting together. All members of the party must hunt together in the same wildlife management unit as the person who holds the seal for the moose being hunted. Hunting party members must be within ďŹ ve kilometres of the seal holder. Each member of the hunting party must be able to communicate reliably and immediately with other members of

the party. Each person in a hunting party must have a valid moose hunting licence. The total number of moose of a speciďŹ ed sex and age, killed by the party, cannot exceed the total number of seals validated for that sex or age that members of the party hold. The person who kills a moose while hunting in a party must immediately notify all other members. As for general safety: tell someone where you will be hunting and when you will be returning; know the weather conditions in the area and dress accordingly; in an emergency, stay calm and stay put; avoid hypothermia and know how to treat it if it strikes; keep hydrated and well-nourished; carry a survival kit at all times; know how to build a ďŹ re in all weather conditions and carry the supplies youĘźll need to start one; carry a map and compass or GPS and know how to use them; and never drink alcohol and hunt.

Common loons gather for the trip to their winter range Mary Sue and Chris Allan (son and daughter-in-law of Joyce Calverley) saw a raft of between 35 and 40 common loons on the lake near their cottage in the Pontiac. During the summer only five or six gathered to spend the day together. These small flocks consisted of single birds, nonbreeding pairs and pairs whose nesting was for some reason not successfully completed. These flocks grew in late summer as family groups joined them. As migration time approaches the adults and young from several lakes join the summer flocks to feed and rest. These flocks may contain hundreds of loons. The huge flocks will break up into groups of eight to 10 birds during the day and leave to feed in another part of the lake. In late afternoon the small flocks will join together in deeper parts of the lake to spend the night. Migrants from the Yukon

JIM FERGUSON SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE

and parts of western Canada migrate to the coastal areas of British Columbia. Ontario, Quebec and Maritime birds winter along the Atlantic coast. Immature birds will not return to their home lake until they are four years old. ACCIPITER VISITS

An accipiter visited the deck of Farnkyln and Marilyn Sheer and they sent us this email. Dear Jim and Ila: Find attached a picture of a hawk sitting on our deck yesterday, Oct. 8. I think it was a juvenile goshawk. We, my wife Marilyn, who took the picture, watched it for 10 minutes. The hawk didn’t seem distressed, just resting, and probably would have stayed around longer if I hadn’t tried to get

a better picture from another window. Even after it took off it only landed on the ground in front of the deck. Franklyn and Marilyn Scheer Franklyn and Marilyn: The bird is definitely an immature accipiter. There are three species in this family of hawks, sharp-shinned, Cooperʼs and northern goshawk. They are short-winged and long-tailed and although it is easy to identify them as accipiters it is very difficult to tell one from another, especially immature birds. The orange-buff head is one of the field marks of an immature and very rare Cooperʼs hawk. The immature goshawk has a white head except for a dark bar behind the eye. We think that the bird was the rare Cooperʼs hawk. SANDHILL CRANES

An immature loon. Thursday, Oct. 11. The Briscoes have had cranes coming to feed and nest for a number of years now and for such a large bird David says they are not all that easy to see. On this occasion they were feeding on soybean stubble and any insects they could ﬁnd. The cranes will not leave until they are forced to by cold weather and snow. Their migration route to the Platte River Basin in Arizona is a dangerous one and many cranes strike hydro wires and perish on the trip. In this area the cranes have increased from one or two nesting pairs

to many in the past 15 years. The Briscoes have also seen pine siskins at their Niger and sunﬂower feeders. SNOW GEESE

AN ERROR

Mackie and Donna Pettigrew saw a flock of Canada geese and passed the word on to Ron and Sybil Ferguson. When the Fergusons went to see the geese they saw four snow geese in the flock, two adults and two first-year birds. The first-year birds were dingy gray above and white below with a dark bill and black legs. Both adults and young

Peewee Timberwolves capture tournament crown at MAC Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Last yearʼs edition of the Renfrew Peewee Timberwolves captured the Upper Ottawa Valley Hockey League championship. This yearʼs team served notice that they plan to contend yet again. On Saturday, the Wolves won a couple of dramatic encounters en route to winning their annual eight-team tournament at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. Backed by the goaltending of Luke Moran, the Wolves edged the Mississippi Thunder Kings 3-2 in a shootout, got by the rival Pembroke Kings 2-1 in overtime, and blanked the Smiths Falls Bears 3-0 on three third-period goals in the ﬁnal. Reid Barber had a big day with three goals. They included the shootout and overtime

game winner 2:41 into extra time. Barber also added assists on the other two goals versus Mississippi. Jared Burnette collected a pair of markers, and Thomas Barber, Carter Bleeks and Jayce Greer singles in the tournament. The Atom Timberwolves went 1-and-1 at their tournament Sunday. Renfrew defeated the Arnprior Packers 2-1, and lost 4-1 to the Petawawa Patriots. Lima Todd, Connor Zohr and Justin Schutt scored. Summer Simons tended both games between the pipes. Petawawa nipped Stittsville 3-2 in a shootout to claim the tournament title. Arnprior took the B with a 5-2 decision over Valley Storm. The Bantam Wolves host their annual tournament this Saturday. The puck drops at

8 a.m. Angus Ducheneʼs hat trick led the Novice Timberwolves past Pembroke 5-1 in the opening game of the 2012-13 UOVHL season. Owen Osborne earned the netminding win. Luke Steele and Chase Congdon snared hat tricks in the Novice Wolves ﬁnal preseason contest, an 11-4 win over Muskrat. Reid Greer added two goals. The Bantam Wolves lost 4-0 to Valley Storm. Carter Blimkie was between the pipes for the Renfrew side. The Major Midgets host Petawawa in regular-season play Friday at 8:30 p.m. Cobden topped Barkerʼs Collision Centre 3-1 in an atom house league contest. Kaleb Clemmer scored. Brody Bennett was in goal for Barkerʼs. The house regular season gets underway this week.

Successful bowlathon Sunday for Bonnechere Manor auditorium fund

Nicholson to address health festival

Steve Newman

A ďŹ ve-time Canadian Paralympian will be speaking at the WomenĘźs Health Festival Saturday at St. JosephĘźs Catholic High School. Todd Nicholson of Dunrobin, who captained the Canadian national sledge hockey team to three Olympic medals, will take to the podium in the schoolĘźs auditorium at 1 p.m. Among the many highlights of his career, Nicholson helped lead Canada to sledge hockey bronze in 1994 in Lillehammer, silver in Nagano in 1998, and the coveted gold medal in 2006 at Torino. Nicholson started playing hockey at age three, and ice sledge hockey in 1991, four years after he was injured in a car accident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a lot of friends that I played wheelchair basketball with who also played sledge hockey and got me involved in the game, and I have en-

It was a solid rookie effort. The inaugural bowlathon at the Opeongo Bowlodrome, to raise funds for the Bonnechere Manor auditorium fund, was a big success, as 20 bowlers and their supporters combined to raise $2,314.50. The new auditorium, which was built in 2011, is a combined ďŹ nancial venture of Bonnechere Manor, the City of Pembroke and the County of Renfrew. Of the manorĘźs portion, $122,000 remained to be paid off, prior to last SundayĘźs bowlathon. Jacqui Phillips, the manorĘźs community relations co-ordinator, said she was pleased with the results of the inaugural bowlathon, and that there are plans for another one next year. Upcoming fundraisers will include the late-November open house, for which memorial luminaries will be sold and the Tree of Life will be given more public exposure. Other upcoming fundraisers, said Phillips, will include a Taste of Europe sit-down dinner in the New Year. In addition to raising money for the auditorium fund, efforts are also underway to ďŹ nance a sound system and blinds for the auditorium, whose ofďŹ cial

Nicholson has received support from the Kinburn Community Association and the Township of West Carleton. Eventually he would like to get into coaching on the national level and share what he has learned about sports for athletes with disabilities To play together as a team, and win or lose as a team, and still enjoy the game, is his inspiration.

Nathan Blok sports a fitting number as the 18-year-old driver from Beachburg rumbles to No. 1 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Formula 1600 championship â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for a second year in a row.

Blok drives to second championship BeachburgĘźs Nathan Blok, the defending 2011 Formula 1600 Champion, claimed his second consecutive Formula Tour 1600 Championship despite formidable odds against him. Motorsports can easily consume the largest budgets and Team Blok runs solely on sponsorships, and economic conditions make season-long deals hard to come by. None-

theless the 18-year-old racer was determined to repeat his 2011 championship season. Blok clinched the 2012 crown with a weekend to spare. He nailed down the title in the ďŹ fth of the six-weekend series in Calabogie Labour Day Weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was extra special for me to win and capture the championship title in front of my home crowd at Calabogie.â&#x20AC;?

Blok said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;ItĘźs quite funny since itĘźs the same place I took my ďŹ rst lap in a race car, entered my ďŹ rst race, got my ďŹ rst podium, ďŹ rst win, and now my second title, back to back.â&#x20AC;? Away from the track, Blok holds a ďŹ rst-degree Black Belt in Karate, and is currently taking a mechanical engineering Technology course at Algonquin College in Ottawa.

Belanger enters Special Cyclocross makes stop Olympics Hall of Fame at Ma-Te-Way Park Glenn MacDonell President/CEO Special Olympics Ontario

Frank Belanger is among the few people who has been around almost since the inception of Special Olympics as an organization. The registration start date indicates 33 years, but Frankʼs work in sport and especially with people who needed a hand-up goes back even further. Frank Belanger is known for his kind heart, sharp wit and is sound judgment; each a valuable trait and a calling card for a superior volunteer. FBI was born and raised in Timmins Ontario but has resided in Renfrew for most of his adult life. Frank is the real deal, not afraid to do the heavy lifting but equally adept in a board room or any position of influence. He leads by example and people follow in droves. Frank basically started Special Olympics in the Valley and his influence and patience helped solidify the Region 7 area in the formative years. For the past decade Frank has been cutting back; heʼs gone from seven days a week and five volunteer jobs, to five days a week and 10 jobs. Now that heʼs retired he has more time on his hands. See, Frank doesnʼt or canʼt say “no” especially to the athletes heʼs coached and befriended for 30 plus years.

the athletes. When youʼre around his athletes, thereʼs an undeniable respect and affection that oozes out of everyone. Frank is both mentor and friend, and sport truly is the vehicle for making a personʼs life better – win, lose or draw! Weʼve been blessed to have a legion of great people who have lent their time and talents to make our movement great. Some are here for a short time, others stay and they are like a comfortable sofa – the house wouldnʼt be a home without them. Frank is both a personal friend and a trusted advisor – he can say nothing, and say everything. He can speak to issues with a sense calm and foundation that simpliﬁes and cuts through complexity and folly. People admire Frank for who he is. To be counted amongst Frankʼs friends is a treasured position with a bevy others who think the same. Frank, when Jim Jordan and the SOO Board developed our sponsorʼs hall of fame…. I can only imagine it was created to honour individuals, just like you.

Members of the Ottawa Bicycle Club took the peaks, valleys and ﬂat lands of MaTe-Way Park Sunday morning. The Renfrew race was the fourth of a 10-race series being held this fall throughout the Ottawa Valley, race organizer Bob Woods noted. Cyclocross is the fastest growing discipline in cycling, with popularity skyrocketing worldwide, Woods added. Special cyclocross bikes are used (think of a road bike with narrow mountain bike tires) as racers ride on grassy ﬁelds, dismount off their bikes and carry them over

barriers, run up steep, short hills and ride through sand pits or mud, depending upon conditions. Races are spectator friendly. People have many opportunities to witness the action up close and personal over the 3- to 4-kilometre circuit, Woods added. Sundayʼs races drew about 200 competitors. A second series of Renfrew races will close the 2012 series at the Renfrew Fairgrounds Nov. 25. The racers will be back in the area again this Sunday as they compete at Logos Land near Cobden. The races series opened Sept . 23 at Calabogie Peaks Resort. For full Sunday results, see www.cyclocross.org.

English also ﬁnished ﬁrst overall in the competition with the biggest bench and the biggest Wilks total. The Foymount athlete went 3-for-3 on his lifts, pressing 182.5 kgs. (402 pounds), 187.5 kgs. (413 lbs.) and 195 kgs. (430 lbs.).

Healthy response for Call to Action Steve Newman steve.nawman@metroland.com

The second annual Call to Action Run attracted a healthy response, as nearly 50 people registered for Saturdayʼs event that started and ﬁnished at Renfrewʼs Low Square. Registration was $30 per person, or the registration fee was waived for people collecting pledges of $60 or more. Walkers and runners, several of them with strollers, took part in the ﬁve-kilometre event to raise funds for the digital mammography equipment that was installed at Renfrew Victoria Hospital in the spring. RUN RAISES MORE THAN $3,000

With final figures not completed, Barbara Desilets of the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Foundation said more than $3,000 was raised. Just before Saturday morningʼs start of the five-kilometre event, RVH corporate services vice-president Julia Boudreau told the crowd of supporters that the current focus of the Call to Action campaign is digital mammography. However, she said that focus may change over time.

Other upcoming fundraisers in support of RVHʼs Call to Action program include Renfrew Home Hardware Building Centreʼs Unwrapping Christmas Early event Oct. 23, the Bluewave Energy and Gourleyʼs Variety barbecue Nov. 3, a Cougars Conquering Cancer fundraiser Nov. 17 and the sale of Christmas cards by artist Kathryn Bossy. The pivotal principles of the Call to Action awareness campaign are to learn, know and act for the betterment of oneʼs healthcare. Participants in Saturdayʼs run included Leon Mulvihill, an avid runner from Calabogie, who wore a singlet in support of cancer research. The motto on his singlet read: Tough Enough to Wear Pink. The pink ribbon, which represents breast cancer, ﬁts in with October, which is breast cancer awareness month. Another participant was Debbie Sul. Deciding to become more physically active, she walked the Call to Action run-walk this year, with hopes of running it in the future. The Call to Action walkrunʼs major sponsor was Ottawa Valley Physiotherapy. Other sponsors were MidTown Flooring and the Renfrew Mercury EMC.

County of Renfrew residents and businesses,on groundwater and municipal sources, are encouraged to continue to practice water conservation with a target of a 20% reduction in water use. Despite recent rainfall, the groundwater levels have not shown any significant level of recharge, and they are below normal across the County. Even if we experience significant rainfall this autumn, our groundwater levels may not re-charge adequately for the winter months.

Wolves split at EOJHL Fall Classic Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

The Renfrew Timberwolves went 1-and-1 at the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey Leagueʼs third annual Fall Classic at Arnpriorʼs Nick Smith Centre on the weekend. That was a justiﬁed result as the better team on each day won both games. The 22-team event featured all teams in the Metro-Valley Conference facing two clubs from the Rideau-St. Lawrence. WOLVES 6, MORRISBURG 2

Coach and general manager Brent Sylvester acquired overage defenceman Ryan Eady from the Almonte Thunder in return for blueliner Justin Farrell, a 16-yearold playing card and future considerations. However, Sylvester wasnʼt on the bench for the end of the Gananoque game Sunday to see how it all panned out. The Wolves coach got the heave ho from referee Tim Leblanc (not to be confused by the Wolvesʼ trainer of the same name) late in the second period. The sentence carries a onegame suspension.

The Wolves also lost the services of defenceman Dylan Zavitske for a cross-check in the third stanza. The Wolves travel to Perth Friday night with a lineup that will include returning Renfrew native Drew Anderson. Game time is 7:45 p.m. The Stittsville Royals visit the MAC Sunday at 7:30 p.m. The Stittsville roster includes Tyler McKechnie, son of former Timberwolf defenceman Carmen McKechnie, and goaltender Arun Kumar, grandson of Renfrewʼs Bob Schwartz.

On the plains of Ma-Te-Way Competitors from the Ottawa Bicycle Club make their way through Ma-Te-Way Park at Sunday’s cyclocross event. It was the fourth in a 10-race series. The racers are back in the area at Logos Land this Sunday. The 2012 race series concludes at the Renfrew Fairgrounds Nov. 25.

A Wolves skated to a 4-0 lead in the ﬁrst nine minutes, and built their advantage to 6-1 by the midway point of the of the second period in their win over the Morrisburg Lions Friday night. Scott Conroy – the Valley Divisionʼs top rookie from a year ago – returned to the Renfrew lineup and made his presence felt with two goals and two assists. Tanner Smith, Patrick McGrath, Kurtis Leclaire and Casey Doner added singles. Smith also earned a pair of helpers. The Renfrew powerplay had a good night, breaking through three times. Matt Gagne turned aside 36 Morrisburg shots while the Wolves tested Lions goalkeeper Mikael Dion on 43 occasions. Both teams had 15 penalties totalling 68 minutes in the feisty contest. There were two scraps, with Lyle Stressman and Doner earning the decisions over their Morrisburg counterparts. GANANOQUE 4, WOLVES 1

The Wolves ran up against a slick-skating Gananoque Islanders team in an early Sunday evening contest. Renfrewʼs old bugaboo came back to haunt them – penalties. The Wolves presented the Islanders with seven consecutive powerplays over the ﬁrst two periods, resulting in a 29-9 shot count in Gananoqueʼs favour. Yet, the Wolves trailed only 2-1. Tournament organizers had no trouble selecting goaltender Matt Gagne as Renfrewʼs player-of-the-game. On the other side of the coin, the Wolves failed to capitalize on a ﬁve-minute major when an Islander received a quick exit for kicking early in the game. Not only did the Wolves not score, but Gananoque burnt Renfrewʼs powerplay with a shorthanded goal. Doner pulled the Wolves even 6:15 into the middle period before Craig Cross clicked on an Islander powerplay less than three minutes from the end of the period. Chris Smith had two thirdperiod goals to seal it for Gananoque. His second came into an empty net. WOLVES HOWLINGS

The Wolves (3-5-0-and-1) gained some much-needed experience on Saturday. 40 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, October 18, 2012

Your draw master is worth his or her weight in gold at the curling rink

UOV defeats Metcalfe 7-1 The Upper Ottawa Valley Ringette Tween C girls split a pair of decisions in National Capital Region Ringette League action last Saturday morning and afternoon. UOV fell 7-4 to Nepean at the Nepean Sportsplex, but rebounded with a solid effort in a 7-1 win over Metcalfe at the Larry Robinson Arena. Renee St. Cyr had two goals in both games while Hannah Bradley supplied a single tally in each. Maia Zohr, Carissa Moore, EmmaLee Reinart, Megan Bennett and Taylor Virgin also notched UOV markers. Abbey Delarge collected two assists in the win. Rickell Blaedow earned both goaltending victorious. The UOV Tween C squad has a pair of home games versus West Ottawa Oct. 27 at the Cobden Astrolabe Arena.

You are getting a bit anxious so you send out reminders and are curtly told “ I did register” or “huh ...” or you get no answer. You try to stay patient and finally the final

list comes in from registration and it is shorter than the list you already have. One week to go. No sweat. You make some last calls, make up the schedule, get it out to all concerned and then the calls start: “I canʼt make the ﬁrst draw, its hunting season you know.” “I hurt my back.” “Iʼm not curling with that idiot.”

“You never scheduled me on sheet three.” “I would like to curl this year.” The list of excuses is endless and new ones are sure to

The majority of roles within the curling club are ﬁlled by volunteers and many are under-appreciated by those of us who beneﬁt from their service, as it is throughout society as a whole. To truly appreciate what is involved you have to take on that role, make it run seamlessly for years and have everyone think it must be the easiest job around. Simple, right? Having been on both sides of this equation, I will try to recount to you one such situation that a number of us have experienced. One role is that of draw master (DM), a fancy name for ʻset up a league and make it run over the season.ʼ Nothing to it! What dummy canʼt do that? Well, this is what goes on behind the scenes. First the DM gathers not only last yearʼs league participants but also others who may be interested; and emails and phone

calls ask “will you be playing in the league this year?” No problem so far, right? Now you wait for the replies that you werenʼt able to get directly, especially when the most common answer, while golﬁng is still great, is “Uh, Iʼve not thought about it.” Itʼs only mid-September. No problem. You are now also waiting

peter.clark@metroland.com

The Renfrew Collegiate Raiders ran their record to 4-and-0 on the Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association junior girls basketball court with a convincing 40-15 win over the Bishop Smith Crusaders Oct. 9. Sage Melville led the way with 14 points for coach Jason WilsonĘźs squad. The Raiders and cross-town rival St. JosephĘźs Jaguars entered this weekĘźs play sharing records of 4-and-0. Something has to give eventually. They meet at the Grant Gymnasium Oct. 29. Adrianne Guty and Carly McHenry combined to score 17 points to lead the Senior Raiders past the visiting Crusaders 34-25 in what coach Adam Noack deemed â&#x20AC;&#x153;a total team effort.â&#x20AC;? He noted the efforts of Courtney Miller, Grace Stewart and Alison Martin had great games on both ends of the ďŹ&#x201A;oor. Megan BeattieĘźs 16foot jumper with less than four minutes to go sealed the win for the Raiders. The senior girls also defeated the Mackenzie Mustangs 29-22 in Deep River Monday. Guty had 10 and McHenry seven points for RCI. The Junior Raiders scored a 46-32 triumph led by Andrea MartinĘźs 22 points. Fellowes Falcons got by the Raiders 3-1 in senior boys volleyball action. However, RCI bounced back with a 3-1 win over LĘźEquinoxe Patriotes. The Raiders also travelled to Holy Trinity in Ottawa for a Friday tournament. They played ďŹ ve matches and won the B ďŹ&#x201A;ight consolation The Junior Raiders posted a 24-13 win over the Almonte Thunderbolts in Lanark-Renfrew High School Junior Football League action at Ma-TeWay ParkĘźs Lindsay Athletic Field Friday afternoon. Nick Hazen had two running TDs for RCI, and enjoyed a ďŹ ne game on defence with a couple of solo tackles also. Austin Scheuneman pulled down a 22-yard pass from quarterback Billy Karras. Alex Bechamp sealed the RCI victory with a TD less than three minutes from the end of the fourth quarter. At 3-and-2 and two games remaining, the Junior Raiders remain in the playoff hunt. Four teams entered last Friday at 3-and-1, and RCI plays two of them, including St. JohnĘźs of Perth Friday in a at 1 p.m. kickoff at Ma-Te-Way ParkĘźs Lindsay Athletic Field. Injuries are starting to mount for the Senior Raiders, but they were able to nail down second place and a home game in the playoffs. In a defensive struggle in Deep River, the Raiders topped the Mackenzie Mustangs 7-3 on a blustery Friday afternoon. Matt Murdock scored the gameĘźs only touchdown, spearheaded by Rudy Kadlec returning a blocked punt deep into Mackenzie territory. The Senior Raiders host the Fellowes Falcons this Friday afternoon.

St. JosephĘźs Jaguars boys volleyball and girls basketball teams are challenging for the top of their divisions in the Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association. The Jaguars ran their record to 6-and-0 in senior boys volleyball action with wins over the Opeongo Wildcats 3-2, Jeanne Lajoie Chevaliers 3-1 and Fellowes Falcons 3-0 Oct. 9.

Kathryn David had eight points to spark the Junior Jaguars past the Madawaska Valley District Wolves 31-25 in BarryĘźs Bay Oct. 9. Coach Mark Valliquette said the girls did a great job at both ends of the court. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The girls demonstrated a will to win despite foul troubles,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Senior Jaguars overcame a slow start, injuries and foul trouble in a 28-21 win over Madawaska. Sonya Bergin had nine points to lead the St. JosephĘźs attack.

Coach Skelhorn said the tournament went extremely well. The Jaguars posted wins over Mother Teresa, Lester B. Pearson, Le Sommet, St. Pius X and league-rival Arnprior. However, St. MichaelĘźs school of Kemptville ended the JaguarsĘź winning run. The Junior Jaguars posted 3-1 wins over Opeongo and Fellowes in UOVHSAA play, but were surprised in ďŹ ve sets by Jeanne Lajoie, which was their ďŹ rst loss of the regular season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone displayed great spirit and determination late in the day,â&#x20AC;? coach Meghan Cahill said. The Jaguars continue to shine on the girls basketball court.

DEADLINE: TUESDAY AT NOON.

Metroland Media currently has an opening for a Regional Human Resources Manager supporting the Eastern Ontario region. The incumbent will be responsible for providing expert consultation to the region, ensuring all Human Resources needs are successfully met. This role requires a dynamic individual that is capable of performing at both a hands-on and strategic capacity. The position will be based primarily out of Smiths Falls, with travel to the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other ofďŹ ces from Kingston to Ottawa. Key Responsibilities:

REDDY Lawrence Martin (Larry) Lawrence Martin (Larry) Reddy was born June 5, 1938 to Elizabeth & Isaiah Reddy of Calabogie. Larry was the oldest of four children. His sister, Marie, passed away August 19, 2005. Marieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband, Mickey McArthur, passed away April 14, 2011, leaving three children, Kevin, Kelly, Kerri & families. Larryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, Garry, lives in Ottawa and sister, Colleen, lives in Smiths Falls with husband, Clarke Eady. They have two children, Christopher & Shannon and three grandchildren. Larry attended school in Calabogie & Renfrew. He worked in the mines in Sudbury and then as a Hoisting Engineer with Ontario Hydro. Larry married Reina Raymond on July 2, 1982. They lived in Pembroke but he always loved his house in Calabogie. Reina as been so outstanding in Larryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, never leaving his side for a moment. Larry played guitar and sang Country & Western music, his favourite song being â&#x20AC;&#x153;From a Jack to a Kingâ&#x20AC;?. Many get-to-gethers with Larry on guitar and Marie on piano were enjoyed at his home and those good times will always be treasured. He never missed St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day at the Mountain or in Douglas with the Huntâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Bolgerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s & Kileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Pat Brennan and Ken Brasch were good friends. Ken helped with renovations in Calabogie. Larryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closest friend since childhood was Jack Gorra. Jack, Nancy & family always had a special connection and stayed so close over the years. Larry was exceptionally good to his family. He was always there for his Mom and made sure she always got out to those dances she loved. He was so good to his brother, Garry, phoning him every day and helping him in every way. When Larry walked through the door at his home in Calabogie, we were always so happy to see him. He always ďŹ xed anything that was wrong and we always called him our â&#x20AC;&#x153;Knight in Shining Armourâ&#x20AC;?. We wish you could have stayed with us longer, Larry, you were such a gentle soul with such a kind heart and we will always miss you so very much. Love your family XOXOXO

In loving memory of a dear husband and father, Dennis Isaiah Enright March 20, 1920 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; October 20, 2008 The blow was great, The shock severe, We little thought the End was near. Only those who have Lost can tell The pain of parting Without farewell. More each day we Miss you, father Friends may think The wound is healed, But they little know, the sorrow That lies within our hearts concealed. Your family Wife, Doris Sons, Lorne (Colleen) Darryl (Jean) Grandchildren, Jason Erin, Kristin, Sarah, James and families CL384661

In Memory of Andre Boulanger (July 15, 1931 to October 21, 2011) Beloved Husband, Loved Father, Proud (Grand) Pere Predeceased by Sophia Bouanger (Wife) and Andre Jr Boulanger (Son)

Those we love are never really lost to us - we feel them in so many special ways through friends they always cared about and dreams they left behind, in beauty that they added to our days... in words of wisdom we still carry with us and memories that never will be gone... Those we love are never really lost to us - For everywhere their special love lives on.

As The White Dove Soars There is a crystal clear blue sky With the sun shining warm and bright As the color of the leaves change The White Dove soars day and night Keeping your watchful eyes upon us As you have always done You were an amazing Husband and Father Having a Wife, a Daughter and Three Sons You were a devoted Dad and Loving Husband You have been thorough many journeys with your family and wife You were a knowledgeable and sporty man Who also served for his Country, willing to give his life

Mark, you are missed more than words can say and in our hearts and memories of you will always stay.

You loved to hear the stories and see pictures Of your (Great) Grandchildren as they would grow They would fill your heart with their voice, love, warmth and laughter They made you smile, to cherish Memories to forever hold

Love from Mom, Dad, Amanda and your family and friends. Xoxoxoxo CL385628

You were a collector of many things Especially the beauty of trees and flowers After taking an early retirement You would enjoy the outdoors for many hours

Ryan Enright

Then came that time Of some dark and dreary days Of suffering in discomfort and pain Of being sick in a horrible way

Dec. 17, 1985 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Oct. 21, 2009

Although it was hard for us to see and hear How you did not want to suffer like that anymore every day It made us feel good to help and give back to you For all that you have given us in so many ways

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not forgotten, Ryan, dear Nor ever shall you be; As long as life and memory last I shall remember thee.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been one year now Dad As of October 21st, 2011 Since you have gotten your wish To be with Mom and Baby Andre in Heaven We miss your stories that you used to tell We miss your knowledgeable words of advice

We think of him in silence, No eyes can see us weep; But still within our aching hearts His memory we keep.

But know this, our Dear Dad We were happy, you longer suffered each day and night Continue to soar with Mom and Baby Andre too Throughout the crystal clear blue skies Please continue to watch over us With your strong and guarding eyes As we watch the Leaves change colors It will remind us of the many things you have done

Taurus, there’s so much to get done this week that you may not know where to begin. Making a list of your responsibilities may help you get organized. Gemini, you may be on the fence about making a large purchase, but the stars indicate that now could be a good time to buy and things will work in your favor financially. Cancer, instead of rushing along through the daily grind, take some time to slow down and enjoy the scenery along the way. This will help you clear your head and relax. Leo, the weekend will not be fun unless you finish up all of your work at the office. Don’t procrastinate and leave all the difficult tasks until next week.

Virgo, there are serious things to consider with respect to your family life, and not all of the conversations will go your way. Be patient and work through everything a little at a time.

Last week’s answers

Libra, whether feedback from work is positive or negative, rest assured that hard work will ultimately garner some recognition. Keep working hard and all will work out. No one is going to know how you feel unless you speak up, Scorpio. Don’t slink into the shadows; get out in the open and have your voice heard. Projects around the house seem to grow with every passing day, Sagittarius. If you do not think you can get them all done on your own, it may be time to hire a professional. Experiencing car troubles, Capricorn? This may be the ideal time to go shopping for a new vehicle. A new ride can lift your spirits and put to rest those fears about your current vehicle. Don’t work yourself silly, Aquarius. It’s good to be productive and company-minded, but not if it comes at the price of your health. Recharge before you tackle anything else. Pisces, while it can be challenging to sit idle, lazy days are very often great ways to catch up on some rest and personal time.
