Put your best pie forward
Leafing a legacy
Derek Dunn/Metroland
Jordi and Braedyn Butler, with shovels in hand, are ready to help plant oaks and maples along the future path from the road to soccer fields at Ma-Te-Way Park on Sept. 24. Jordi, Renfrew’s horticulturalist, said it will take 25 years or so for the trees to reach over the path and touch one another but that they should live to between 150 and 300 years. The tree-planting initiative was sponsored by TD Canada Trust, with many of its employees on hand to help out. Young Braedyn figures he’s already planted 10 trees to date in his short lifespan; must be following in Mom’s footsteps.
Does your pie have what it takes to win top honours? The Town of Renfrew is hosting the second annual Best Pie Contest on Thursday, Oct. 5 at noon at Low Square in Renfrew. For more information contact Jennifer Charkavi at jcharkavi@ renfrew.ca .

Renfrew Santa Claus parade is a go on Dec. 2 with a new twist New event organizers opt for evening parade, shortened route focusing on downtown community TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com
Santa Claus is coming to Renfrew! After longtime parade organizers the Renfrew Lions Club announced they were stepping aside earlier this year there was some speculation whether it would go on. However, a subcommittee of the Renfrew Business Improvement Area (BIA) will be organizing the parade, set for Saturday, Dec. 2, with a new start time of 5 p.m. “This is excellent news for sure because it’s been going on forever,” said Renfrew Coun. Arlene Jamieson, who is the chair of the tourism committee. “It was real scary when we thought we had no one to take the reins.” Jim Miller, chair of the BIA, knows how important the parade is to the town. “It’s the history of Renfrew, a celebration of Christmas and it attracts people to town, so there is an economic factor as well because people from all over come to the parade,” said Miller. The committee held its first meeting on Sept. 21, with a wide array of people involved in the planning. “It was just wonderful, we had so

The 2017 edition of the parade has new organizers and a new route focusing on the downtown core. many people from the past who had helped organize it,” said Miller. “Everyone was just so encouraging.” The BIA has taken the lead on it with the idea they wanted partners, including the town and local commu-
nity organizations. “It’s now more of a communitydriven event,” said Jamieson. The theme of the parade is ‘Christmas 150 Wishes’, and they hope to bring Canada’s 150th birthday into
the event too. There will also be some changes to the parade. “We are going to have an evening parade with lights starting at 5 p.m.,” said Miller.
“It (a night parade) is more modern. It’s beautiful with all of the lights and it changes it up.” Jamieson says it’s a great time to try a night parade. “It’s always been thought of, to have a night parade so this is the perfect time to do it,” said Jamieson. The route may also be different. “We’ve changed the parade route. We are going to keep it downtown,” said Miller. “We are currently working with the Ministry of Transportation to finalize a new parade route concentrating on the downtown community and we will have stores participating.” Kids will still have a chance to see Santa after the parade. “Santa Claus will be at town hall in the gazebo at Low Square to visit with the kids,” said Miller. “We are also looking for entertainment, and roasting marshmallows.” The committee is coming together and Miller says they have a good number of volunteers. “We would never turn down volunteers,” said Miller. Anyone who would like to volunteer for the parade is encouraged to contact him at: meqa@ cogeco.net.To register a float people can contact the BIA or Rec Centre or Miller.

Renfrew prepares for major downtown reconstruction project TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com
A good crowd heard an update on Renfrew’s Highway 60 downtown construction project Wednesday night. Renfrew development and works director Mike Asselin encourages and welcomes any feedback on the project, which is budgeted at just over $6 million, with $3 million coming from the Ministry of Transportation Connecting Link fund. “We want people involved as much as possible because it’s their downtown,� said Asselin. The meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 20 attracted 36 people to town hall. “It was an excellent meeting with a good cross-section of residents and merchants and they asked a lot of questions and gave suggestions,� said Asselin. The next meeting, with a more detailed plan, will be held in early December. Design work is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year, with the project being tendered in January 2018 and awarded in February. Construction is slated to start in spring 2018 and finish sometime in November.

The Town of Renfrew is set to undergo a major downtown construction project starting in the Spring of 2018 affecting the downtown core, the project costs $6 million with $3 million coming from the Ministry of Transportation Ontario, this board from the meeting shows the proposed left turn lane at Opeongo Road. The project is needed, as Highway there are some safety concerns,� said 60 is a high-capacity thruway. Asselin. “The road is beginning to rut, The scope of works for the projthere are significant deficiencies, and ect include the sanitary sewers, wa-
termain, streetscaping, including new sidewalk features/landscaping/ street furniture (benches, etc.), lights, accessibility upgrades, pedestrian crossovers, and minor upgrades to the storm sewer services (which were replaced in 2000). Some things will also stay the same, as the minimum width of the driving lanes will remain unchanged at 4.2 metres. The parking stall width will also remain unchanged at 2.7 m and stalls will have a standard length of 7 m. One change of note is the proposal to eliminate the crossing at Opeongo Road, which will be relocated to Prince Avenue. As well, the plans show the introduction of a dedicated left-turn lane at Opeongo Road and Raglan Street. As to ‘Confusion Corner’ (Veterans Memorial Boulevard, Hall Avenue East, and Highway 60), it is under the jurisdiction of the County of Renfrew. “At minimum, it will be resurfaced,� said Asselin. “We are currently in communication with the county as to what their needs are.� Plans are underway to mitigate the construction issues for local businesses. “Obviously, the merchants have some concerns with the disruptions
and we are working with them,� said Asselin. “Also, the merchants seem excited to have a reconstructed downtown with a renewed environment for the future and this change should endure for the next 20 to 25 years.� Detour routes will be required and will utilize Plaunt, Lochiel, and Argyle Streets and will shift during the project depending on the location of construction activity. The town is also undertaking a study of the parking activities in the downtown core as on-street parking will be impacted. “There’s lots of information available and we are encouraging people to sign up online,� said Lane Cleroux, engineering technician with the Town of Renfrew. “They can sign up to get the information when it is available.� The design consultants from Jp2g will also make themselves available to meet with any property owners to answer questions they may have as it relates to the impact on their property. The town has a new dedicated section on their website that includes the presentation and more information: www.renfrew.ca/downtown. Comment sheets are also available at town hall and can be dropped at the town office during regular hours, or can also be emailed to lcleroux@ renfrew.ca.

Police investigating fatal collision in downtown Arnprior
A woman in the tarped vehicle was killed Sept. 25 on Daniel Street at Edey Street when a suspect in an allegedly stolen vehicle caused a multi-vehicle collision.
SIU called in to investigate TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com
There was tragedy on the roads in Arnprior on Monday afternoon, resulting in one person dead and a second in serious condition. On Sept. 25 at 8:01 p.m. the Ontario Special Investigations Unit (SIU) released the following post via Twitter: “SIU is now investigating a multi vehicle collision in Arnprior. 1 person is dead, 1 is in serious condition. Spokesperson en route.” Daniel Street remained closed late into the evening with one vehicle covered with a tarp and a truck with significant damage. According to an Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) release at 8:17 p.m., officers of the Renfrew detachment were notified of a driving complaint involving a stolen vehicle at 3:20 p.m. “The same vehicle was later involved in a fail to remain collision in Renfrew,” said the release. “Responding OPP officers observed the suspect vehicle on Highway 17 traveling eastbound in the area of Calabogie Road. Shortly after, the suspect vehicle was involved in another collision on Daniel Street in Arnprior. The male suspect was apprehended and arrested at the scene. A female motorist who was involved in this collision was pronounced dead at the scene.” The OPP notified the SIU, “which has invoked its mandate,” said the release. “As a result the OPP will not be able to provide any further information.” As of the Renfrew Mercury press deadline Ontario Provincial Police Const. Janice Sawbridge could not confirm any details on the investigation in Arnprior. There are also reports, unconfirmed, the incident was the result of a police chase. Natalie Gaanderse told Metroland Media she witnessed the police pursuing a vehicle at approximately 3:50 p.m. She was at a red light, exiting Hwy. 17 after coming east into Arnprior. She was waiting to turn left into town. “We (my daughter and I were in the car) sitting there and this grey truck came flying by. “I thought I missed the green light. (The truck) turned into oncoming traffic,” said Gaanderse. “All of those police cars, about four or five, they were in hot pursuit and they went into the proper lanes. “I just thought he did something and didn’t give a crap.” Recalling the experience brought tears to her eyes. “I told my five-year-old daughter I hope nothing bad happens and when I heard about the accident my heart sank,” said Gaanderse. “It all happened so quickly … I was sort of in shock. (The truck) was going so quickly, a couple more feet and (the truck) would have hit us, I just thought what if …” She tried to explain it in terms her daughter would understand. “She said a grown up should have known better … I’m just at a loss for words.” The Arnprior Fire Department was initially paged to Daniel Street South and Edey Street at 3:57 p.m. for extrication and suppression (of a vehicle fire). The first fire was put out and at 6:50 p.m., it reignited. ORNGE air-ambulance was called in and one male was transported to hospital. The investigation is ongoing.

Township marks sesquicentennial with time capsule SHERRY HAAIMA

What do a fidget spinner, a maple spigot and a Douglas Tavern hat have in common? They’re all part of Admaston/Bromley Township’s special project to mark Canada’s 150th birthday this year. On Thursday, Sept. 21, council, staff and volunteers gathered to celebrate the completion of their Canada 150 time capsule and bury the items, which will be unearthed 50 years from now. The capsule is buried in front of the municipal building on Stone Road. “We certainly wanted to leave something behind, kind of a legacy, of Canada’s 150th,” said Mayor Michael Donohue. “When it gets opened in 50 years it will give some glimpse of who we were and what we were doing in 2017.” He noted another special project paid for through federal government Canada 150 funding at Osceola - a QR code with information on the founding of the area.
‘“These are fantastic initiatives to give our community and even those who are passing through our community,” he said. An Amazing Race event planned for Oct. 7 will likely be the township’s wrap-up Canada 150 event, said the mayor. He acknowledged the “enormous efforts and contribution” the Canada 150 committee made throughout the year. • Pictures and list of members on the Admaston/Bromley Canada 150th Committee • 2017 class and staff pictures from St. Michael’s Catholic School • 2017 class and staff pictures from Admaston Public School • Douglas and area birthday note calendar • Spigot used for tapping maple trees – The Dyer Family • Listing of all reeves and mayors of Bromley and Admaston Township and mayors of Admaston/Bromley to 2017 • Pictures and newspaper article of the 2017 Douglas St. Patrick’s Parade

Architect calls post office elegant, encourages public input its municipal officials accountable for protecting the value of that public asset as it contemplates moving it into the private sector,” said Stephenson. “The heritage designation process is the tool for doing this. While it does not bring certainty to the protection of any heritage building it builds in checks and balances that effectively prevent irreversible decisions from being made in haste and without due consideration.

The architecture of the Renfrew post office and old town hall is a reminder of our past. John Stephenson, president of the Ontario Association of Architects, thinks historic designation is the community’s way of expressing how much they value a certain property’s meaning and significance. “Heritage buildings express both the stories of their communities and the broader history of society through their architecture and design,” said Stephenson in an email. “They are the tangible built reminder of where we have come from and form a critical part of the built fabric that defines the very real sense of place of our communities.” The Town of Renfrew filed for a notice of intention to pass a bylaw to designate 249 Raglan St. South to be of cultural heritage value and interest under the Ontario Heritage Act on Aug. 31. The motion is supposed to be back in front of Renfrew council sometime in October depending if they receive any objections. The public has 30 days after the notice to file any. At the Aug. 31 council meeting some of the features identified as significant in a recent report prepared by Letourneau Heritage Consulting Inc. are the 1923 clock tower with its weather vane, the mansard roof, front entrance steps, stone chimney, 1908 date stone, and the metal coat of arms/façade of the 1956 International
Modern-style addition. “The former town hall’s grand, symmetrical façade, central clock tower and elegant detailing together with the forecourt that is created by its setback from the street is evidence of the importance that was given to this building in the burgeoning urban environment of early Renfrew,” said Stephenson. “All of this would be detailed in a ‘reasons for designation’ that are required as part of the designating resolution.” Stephenson thinks it’s important for people to be involved in the designation process. “The heritage value of the building is currently owned by the municipality in trust for the people of the community of Renfrew. The public should exercise its responsibility to hold

is a significant public interest in the heritage value of this important municipal building at stake and the community owes it to itself to be informed about any decisions that might affect its preservation either positively or negatively.” At its March 14 meeting, the Town of Renfrew declared the building to be surplus and a real estate company has been hired to put it up for sale.
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR THOSE ON THE MADAWASKA AND OTTAWA RIVERS After Thanksgiving, Monday, October 9, the summer water level minimums will end on the Ottawa and Madawaska Rivers. Ontario Power Generation (OPG) will adjust its operations within allowable operating levels using the fall/winter requirements. This will result in lower water levels. Also be advised that a “draw down” will occur in late October or early November on the Madawaska River at Calabogie Generating Station (GS) and Stewartville GS, and on the Ottawa River at Chenaux GS. This “draw down” from summer water level minimums will begin as temperatures drop in order to encourage amphibians like frogs, as well as turtles, to hibernate safely for the winter. This is an initiative supported by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. Residences and businesses along these rivers are advised to take all necessary precautions to ensure the lower water does not affect their properties. As always, exercise caution around OPG facilities. If you have any questions, please call Jennifer Gardiner 613-433-9673, ext. 3350.

Mental health care crisis In any given year one in five individuals will experience a mental health problem or illness, says the Canadian Mental Health Association. It’s time we take a long hard look at mental health care in rural communities and come up with some concrete solutions to the growing problem of a lack of adequate care. As social work masters student Vanessa Cormier writes in her op-ed piece this week, Renfrew County, with its more than 100,000 people, has just two part-time psychiatrists and 10 mental health beds. The waitlist for mental health care can be six months to a year. And while individuals can access counselling services and other mental health programs through their family physicians, there are about 2,400 people across the county on the waitlist for access to a doctor. The Robbie Dean Counselling Centre confirms that barriers to accessing mental health care include a shortage of locally available mental health specialists. For many families, says the centre, accessing proper mental health care means taking time off work and expensive travel to larger centres.
Prevention and education, as Cormier writes, are key to improving the situation. There should be more government funding for preventative mental health care programs. Increased education will help end the stigma associated with reaching out for help and raise awareness so we’re better able to help those in need. And support and encouragement for those studying in the mental health care field, and possibly incentives for practicing in rural communities, could go a long way towards easing the burden. There are resources out there, including the Robbie Dean centre, which offers free, walk-in crisis clinics in various communities, including Renfrew and Arnprior. The Phoenix Centre for Children and Families is doing good work in our communities as well. If you are in a crisis and are aged 17 and under you can call the Crisis Line at 1-877-377-7775. If you or someone you know is experiencing serious mental health problems, call the 24-hour Mental Health Crisis Line: 1-866-996-0991 or the Ontario Mental Health Helpline: 1-866-5312600.
Keep the town’s pool dream alive To the editor:
(This letter was sent to Renfrew Mayor Don Eady and council.) I was very angry and disappointed to read the about the delay in building an aquatic centre. The public has shown strong support for a pool in every survey and public meeting held by the town. The cost to an average home for the proposal presented at the public meeting was around $70 a year, which is very affordable. Reeve Peter Emon said that they “were trying to get some vehicle as to how many users there are.” Getting commitments from individuals is hard as there is no mechanism in place to collect the data. This is unlike the ice users who are well-organized groups. May I suggest that the town be proactive and seek the commitments you require by asking our neighbouring municipalities to agree to subsidize the pool on a per capita basis and sell aquatic memberships to individuals with some sort of incentive for the first 100 to sign up. (As an example - you could also ask your typical partners like the service clubs, Community Liv-

ing, school boards and pre - school programs to send a letter agreeing to help with the pool costs. Maybe there are some of Renfrew’s millionaires able to contribute to the town!) I agree with the aquatic committee that, if it’s not built in the next phase, it won’t be. It also bothers me that you would consider enhancing one area of recreation that already meets the needs of the local population just for a team from Kanata. People who can’t participate in ice sports because of age, disability, poverty or lack of interest are in the majority. Recreation isn’t just about cost recovery, it’s about encouraging everyone to be more active. It’s about providing a range of activities for all ages. An aquatic complex that is used by moms and tots, learn to swim, aqua fitness, hydrotherapy, fitness training and competitive swimming would benefit many more of your citizens than the chosen few in elite hockey. Please keep the dream alive and continue with the full expansion of Ma-Te-Way; pool and second ice rink. Susan McSheffrey, physiotherapist Renfrew
A look back at Renfrew’s White House HERITAGE RENFREW
In 1915 one of Renfrew’s most unusual and historical landmarks was built, the residence of Thomas A. Low. A Pembroke native, Low owned five large businesses, including the Renfrew Power Company and the Renfrew Machinery Company. Low also played a prominent role in the area’s politics. He was Warden of Renfrew County at 35 and was elected to Parliament three times as the Liberal member for Renfrew South. In 1923 he was appointed Minister of Trade and Commerce. His secretary in the early 1920s was Charlotte Whitton, a Renfrew resident who later became mayor of Ottawa. Low died in 1931 and the house with its expansive well-tended gardens was sold to Bert Throop, principal of Renfrew Collegiate Institute. The house was next sold to Jim Baskin, a Conservative MP and a former lumberman in the l950s. In 1964 Baskin converted his house into a hotel/gas bar and was named The White House. In l97l an addition was built onto the back and was named the Paddock Lounge. Mr. and Mrs. George Quinn than bought the

premises in 1982. The house was purchased by K and L Seigal Enterprises in September 1987. In December 1987 this historic landmark was demolished with plans to build a shopping mall on the land. Eight years passed and still the corner where the White House used to stand, remained empty, But, in 1995 the property was sold and a Tim Hortons/Wendy’s establishment built. Over the 70 years of its existence the White House changed from a beautiful residence to a successful business and was an important part of Renfrew’s History.

Mental health access in Renfrew County: time for a change VANESSA CORMIER
It’s no surprise to many; mental health access in rural communities is a growing problem in Canada. However, when we take a moment to look at access to mental health services in our very own Renfrew County, something that is rarely discussed in the media, the numbers may shock you. Currently, Renfrew County, an area of over 100,000 people, has two parttime psychiatrists, 10 mental health beds and roughly 2,400 people on the waitlist for access to a primary care physician through Health Care Connect. The waitlist for community mental health continues to be stifling, often six months to a year to gain access to support groups, counselling, employment and peer support through their agency. According to a report by the Robbie Dean Centre, Renfrew County has some of the worst health statistics in the entire country and one of the highest numbers of low-income households in the province. This information leaves some wondering – what do I do if I need help? When it comes to other available
counselling services and mental health programs in the area, the county as a whole is lacking. People can access free counselling services through their primary care physician if they have been able to access a doctor. For those who continue to wait, there are some private counselling options available. However, the cost for private counselling is not necessarily accessible to many who may lack employment or for those who are employed, many benefits cover only three sessions with a counselor. As a response to the growing need for services in the area, walk-in counselling clinics have been introduced by family health teams in the county over the past couple of years and have provided a gateway for clients to access counselling services. However, these walk-in clinics are available to patients of the clinics only. Currently, the Robbie Dean Centre offers the only free mental health walkin east of Chalk River, for adults that do not have a diagnosed mental health condition. It’s important to note that there are transportation barriers in accessing the limited services available in the county. Currently there is no public transit system and community
resources can be spread out. For those without a vehicle, local cab companies can be a cost which many cannot absorb. As a patient and a professional in the community, I have seen the strain on mental health services from both sides. Living in Petawawa for two-anda-half years, I was fortunate enough to gain access to a doctor after two. Typically, many people must wait much longer than this. As a mental health professional, I have been challenged in supporting clients in accessing care due to the area’s limited services and the growing waitlists for existing services. So how can we find solutions the problem with few physicians and psychiatrists willing to relocate to rural areas and waitlists growing in size? Prevention and education. Increased government funding towards preventative mental health programs in Renfrew County can cut waitlist for long-term services, provide people with an accessible support network and arguably help curb chronic mental health conditions. We can build within our own community and add accessible prevention programs to cover the most dominant
Childproof containers prove difficult for seniors To the editor:
Although I am old and disabled I consider myself fortunate in having the assistance of four excellent helpers, namely grass cutter, house cleaner, personal support worker (PSW) and gardener, and they do find work in their spheres. On occasion, they do things that, strictly speaking are not in their job descriptions, like helping me to open childproof lids. Due to arthritis, my fingers are stiff. Consequently when I had to open a container of Javex my grass cutter came to my rescue. I ran out of Listerine and without the help of my house cleaner I could not have opened the bottle. When a vial of eye drops was delivered I had to wait for my PSW to open it.
Lastly the Tylenol container had to be returned to the drug store because I could not unscrew the lid. I fully agree that children should be protected from objects that could be lethal, but at the same time I believe an effort should be made to make day to day living for seniors a little easier. Childproof lids certainly do not fall into that category. The term should be senior not childproof. Christina Edgar Renfrew

issues we are faced with as a population. In addition, increased funding to publicly available mental health services will help shrink current waitlists and provide more access to services when they are needed past the prevention level. Providing means of transportation to these community prevention programs is crucial in addressing barriers to care and giving everyone access to these services. Education is also a key component to prevention. Education can address the stigma that comes from reaching out, as stigma is often more prevalent in small towns. Providing mental health education to the community would be a very important piece in encouraging others to reach out and access available services. With funding allotted to prevention and education programs the community could see decreased waitlists, reduced burnout for those in the helping role, a better sense of community inclusion and greater willingness for

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, September 28, 2017 11
Accused transferred to Sûreté du Québec: OPP On Friday, Sept. 22, the accused involved in an Amber Alert apprehension southwest of Renfrew was transferred from Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) custody and into the custody of Sûreté Québec (SQ). The Amber Alert, which was initiated in Quebec on Sept. 14, resulted in OPP’s involvement when the suspect was located in eastern Ontario. Several OPP resources were involved in the successful apprehension of the 41-year-old male of Quebec as well as the safe apprehension of the six-yearold child on Sept. 15. Yvon Lacasse, the 71-year-old man whose vehicle the suspect was driving when he was arrested, was found dead Wednesday following an extensive
search that began shortly after the Amber Alert. Following a court appearance on Sept. 16, the accused, who was awaiting transfer to SQ, sustained an injury while in his cell that required medical attention. He remained in a local hospital in Ottawa up until Sept. 22 when he was transferred by ambulance to a Quebec hospital under the escort of SQ. Members of the OPP continue to assist the SQ with their investigation. In addition, a parallel investigation is ongoing into any criminal offences that occurred in the province of Ontario, under the direction of OPP Case Manager, Detective Inspector Daniel Nadeau with the Criminal Investigations Branch (CIB).
Thieves busy in Renfrew, Arnprior areas The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has been kept very busy investigating break-ins affecting several townships in Renfrew County. OPP officers in the Renfrew and Arnprior detachments continue to investigate numerous break, enter and thefts, as 17 were reported to the OPP last week. Break-ins are happening at both homes and seasonal properties like cottages and hunt camps. Some tips for securing your home include installing alarms, deadbolt locks and motion-sensor lights. Trail cameras may not deter a thief, but they can assist in the investigation and possible recovery of stolen property. When it comes to securing a home, try to make it appear as if someone is home. Put lights and a TV or radio on timers. Make sure doors and windows are
closed and locked overnight and when you are away. These are a few simple and effective ways to help secure your property. During the past week there were two cottage break-ins reported, on Lafleurs Road in Admaston/Bromley Township and on Ashdad Road in the Township of Greater Madawaska.

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, September 28, 2017 13
New Salvation Army officers set for Thanksgiving dinner Oct. 4 and cost $8 per person. “We want to make the community aware we are here to serve the community as well as our core people,” said Randy. The SA service is held every Sunday at 10 a.m. at their building at 197 Harry St. and they have enjoyed getting to know their small congregation. “We’ve been welcomed here and we are praying for growth,” said Randy. “We hope it grows,” added Cathy. They both recognize the changing times and admit they are hoping to do some improvements to the church building. “Our main concern is accessibility, our church is getting older and there are some stairs,” said Cathy. As well as their regular services, they will conduct memorial services at the Bonnechere Manor and other special services. “We have been considered by many to be community pastors,” said Randy.
TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com
The Renfrew Salvation Army Church has welcomed two new leaders to town. Lts. Randy and Cathy Shears arrived in the summer after Maj. Rocky and Janice Bishop left after six years in Renfrew to relocate closer to family. The couple originated in Newfoundland, did their training in Winnipeg, followed by two appointments in Newfoundland have now settled into Renfrew after arriving on June 25. “It’s a wonderful town, it’s rural, which I like, but has man amenities of a larger community,” said Randy. “I think what’s struck me the most was the friendliness of the people,” added Cathy. The couple have three children who live in the Kingston area with four grandchildren. Before they were commissioned as officers with the Salvation Army (SA) in 2014, Cathy worked with the SA Gananoque in the social services department. Randy served in the Canadian Forces for 10 years and the reserves for five years; he was based in Kingston and Gander. They are getting to know their area and hope to get to know more people soon as to what people should call them. “It’s the public’s preference, lieutenant or pastor, but we are not concerned about what they call us,” said Randy.

Best Renfrew Car Show for Dad yet SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com
Sunny skies and a partner event combined on Saturday, Sept. 16 at the Renfrew Fairgrounds, to help make the 2017 Summer’s End Car Show and Swap Meet for Dad the best one in its 13-year history. “The weather was perfect; it was hot with a little breeze,” said organizer Ray Beimers. “I’m extremely pleased. We had more entries this year than the last two years combined.” The event, a fundraiser for prostate cancer, saw “less than favourable weather the past two years,” he said. The show had 232 registered entries and more than $3,300 was raised. Taste of the Valley, as well as the Renfrew Farmers’ Market, was being held at the fairgrounds at the same time as the car show. “This was the most raised at a single event since we’ve been doing it,” said Beimers. The 50-50 draw winner also donated half of his $600 win back to the cause. Among the highlights of the show, said Beimers, was the participation of Bill Meredith and his buddy of Prince George, B.C., who were on the way back from the east coast on a cross-country tour. The pair saw the sign for the show and popped into town to be part of it. Meredith’s vehicle is a 1950 Chrysler Royal.
“He literally saw the sign and came in erby, Carleton Place: 1966 Chevy truck and spent the day with us,” said Beimers.

Audrey Arbour of ARA Creations smiles behind rows of jams, jellies and preserves at Renfrew’s Taste of the Valley on Saturday, Sept. 16 at the Renfrew Armouries and fairgrounds. The event was, by all accounts, a huge success, with almost 40 vendors involved. Organizers estimate 2,500-3,000 people came out on the hot, sunny day. Two other Taste of the Valley events are coming up - Saturday, Sept. 30 at the Deep River municipal hall and grounds and Oct. 14 at the Cobden Fairgrounds.

It wasn’t an easy journey, but a journey of growth, self-discovery and the need to serve God and his people. Father Stephen Helferty was ordained this summer as a Catholic priest. He is the first priest from Douglas to become ordained since Father Isaiah Rice on June 5, 1958. The 29-year-old grew up on the family farm just outside of Douglas; he attended St. Michael’s Catholic School and graduated from St. Joseph’s Catholic High School in 2006. He obtained his bachelor of music from Carleton University in 2010. “Interestingly enough, I wasn’t that interested in my faith at the time (at Carleton) and I didn’t pay a whole lot of attention to it,” admitted Helferty. “I grew up Catholic, my parents (LJ and Joan) and my whole family is Catholic and my parents are fairly serious about their faith. They were good Catholics and had 11 kids … We always went to church on Sunday and prayed together as a family and prayed the rosary together a lot of the time in the evening.” While he was at high school and university, he always attended church but says he wasn’t serious about it. For his third and fourth years at Carleton, he moved home and commuted to school. “At that time, I started to explore the faith a little bit more and began to have faith, you could say, and at that point I started thinking about the priesthood.” As to why he wanted to get into priesthood: “It is difficult to answer that question,” Helferty said with a shy laugh. “But I’ve had it asked many times. How it began was just a kind of interior sense that I should be exploring this option which I knew nothing about.” He had grown up going to mass and had met priests but questioned what they did. “I had encountered them, but I really didn’t know what they did,” said Helferty. “I had this sense that I should be considering it, just to look into it. There was that interior conviction. But to be really honest about it, I didn’t really want to be a priest at all.”

Father Stephen Helferty, left, was ordained as a Catholic priest earlier this summer. Father Joseph Legree, of Douglas, lays hands on Helferty during the service. He questioned the faith and challenged the conceptions he had. “I had a lot to work out about what the faith is and about faith being reasonable. At the time, I had faith, but I thought faith was unreasonable and that was an uncomfortable position to be in,” said Helferty. “I don’t now believe that … It seemed like when you got into the difficult questions, the answer sometimes was it’s just a mystery and we can’t understand it, and even though it seems it doesn’t make sense, it is still fine.” He didn’t really want to be a priest until he went on to study what that meant. “That’s kind of the funny thing about it. I had the interior sense that I should be looking into this but I didn’t want to be doing it and when I was open to it and explored it that’s when I wanted to keep going.” His first step was to attend two years of seminary in Toronto. There was never really one moment where he found his calling. “I would say it solidified in the second year, not an instant change,” said Helferty. When he started his post-secondary
journey, he confesses he just wanted to do one thing. “I just wanted to play guitar for a living. I had studied jazz guitar - I still play. It was nothing like ‘I no longer like this,’” he said. “This (priesthood) just grabbed my attention and I had that interior sense that I had to look into this. I did have people, including my mother, saying I should be considering this.” He then went on to study theology/ scripture at St. Augustine in Toronto. He received his masters of divinity in April and will also be receiving his bachelor of theology from Lateran University in Rome in November. It was a long process to become a priest as the church has a number of requirements set out, including regular meetings with his local bishop. During the ordination service on June 24 in Pembroke, he was blessed by Father Joseph Legree, who has been his priest in Douglas for 10 years. “It was just a great, wonderful moment to be welcomed into the priesthood by Father Legree, who had been a mentor to me while I was in seminary,” said Helferty. “When Father Legree laid hands on me, it was a nice moment personally.” During the prayer of ordination, he was focused on what was to come next. “I was thinking, I was listening to the prayer to be ordained to priesthood, I was praying, saying I am open to this.” He sums up what he calls the most significant day of his life with a strong clarity about his future. “The ordination was basically the end of a long journey and the beginning of a bigger journey,” said Helferty. “It was the biggest day of my life, Photo courtesy of Anton Casta it was the beginning of my life of serFather Helferty shows the congregation the host at his first mass at St vice to God and the people of God. It sealed the deal, I am committed for Michael’s in Douglas on June 25.

life.” On June 25 in Douglas, it was his first time as a priest, to celebrate what he calls the most important moment of the Catholic faith, the celebration of the holy mass and the sacraments. “For the first time, it was great, just beautiful, everything was beautiful about the liturgy,” said Helferty of that first holy mass in front of all of his family, after followed a very busy day of special celebrations with everyone. “It was great to go home to the place where I had grown up.” His family is really excited for him and have been very supportive of him along the way. “I think they like having a priest in the family.” He admits he did have some second thoughts along the process but has no second thoughts now, especially in regards to what his life may have been. “I always thought it would be nice to get married and have children, that was a major obstacle to following this,” said Helferty about his decision to take the priestly vow of celibacy. “I’ve been surprised at how fulfilling this is. I don’t think I’ll ever regret the decision, already this life is very fulfilling.” Helferty knows, practically speaking, it is important for someone new to carry the torch. “Every generation brings new eyes,” said Helferty on being a new priest at just 29 years old. “They need someone from their own generation to lead them. God doesn’t send angels; he sends men and knows them. Every generation is unique and brings something new.” As to what the future holds for him now that he has become a parochial vicar (an assistant to the priest) at Our Lady of Lourdes Pembroke Parish: “I’m sure He is going to be much more generous to me and I am looking forward to the journey.”

24 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, September 28, 2017
Beatty Thibeau, of Cobden Ontario, succumbed to his long battle with melanoma cancer on Friday September 8th 2017, the day of his 67th birthday, just minutes after his 3 children and grandson blew out his birthday candles. Beatty was surrounded by his family and Renfrew Hospice staff. He passed as he lived, on his own terms, fighting to hold on until he could no longer, and then waiting for most of the crowd to disperse from his room before taking his final breaths. A peace and comfort he had not known in a long time was with him that morning. Beatty is survived by his 3 children, Jordan of Pembroke, Jared (Vera) of Burlington, and Celeste of Pembroke; loving grandfather to Evan Willis Thibeau, and dear friend to his son Jordan’s godson Logan Mathieu. Beatty is also survived by his brother Mervyn (Shirley) of Marmora, and his 3 nieces, Robyn Ferguson, Michelle Clarkson, and Tari Thibeau. Beatty is predeceased by his parents Forrest & Hilda, and his sister Marilyn Hollywood (Ray). Beatty will be remembered for his many passions; amongst them: tennis, curling, fishing, motorcycling, Budweiser beer, and dancing! Somewhere behind the pearly gates right now, he’s giving a Texas 2-step lesson and chatting up a pretty lady, if that’s considered acceptable there; and even if it’s not, he’s doing it anyway. Beatty has donated his body to the University of Ottawa Anatomy Division for medical research purposes, after which cremation will take place. Beatty’s Celebration of Life will take place Friday September 29th 2017 at 11:00 a.m. at Zion Evangelical United Church, 368 Miller Street in Pembroke.

PRAYERS PRAYER TO the Blessed Virgin, never to fail! Oh most beautiful flower of Mount Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of heaven. Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in necessity, Oh Star of the Sea. Help me and show me, here you are “my mother”. Oh Holy Mary Mother of God, Queen of heaven and earth. I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to secure me in my necessity (make request). There are none that can withstand your power. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3 times). Say this prayer for three consecutive days and then you must publish it and it will be granted to you. DJ
Charlie Coe “Chief” In loving memory of a dear dad and grandpa who passed away September 27, 2011. In tears we saw you sinking, And watched you pass away, Our hearts were almost broken, We wanted you to stay. But when we saw you sleeping, So peaceful free from pain, How could we wish you back with us, To suffer that again? It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God took you home. Ronnie and Tammy, Jamie and Jessi, Mallory and Curtis, Charlie and Emmett RYAN, Raymond In loving memory of a dear husband Raymond, father, grandfather, great grandfather and uncle who passed away September 26, 1990.

Renfrew Duplicate Bridge club solves a dilemma MIKE NAGRODSKI
Sept. 20 was a fine day for bridge at the Renfrew Bridge Club. Wayne Daze started the day off with his Chalk Talk. He showed four typical hands and discussed what features should be considered as they were being bid. However, the real story of the day was the number of players who turned out to play. The club has the equipment to handle 14 tables at a stretch, but as the numbers grew…15 tables, then 16, then 17, the eyes of the club director, Dave Sulpher, grew bigger and bigger. Ruth Grant was seen scampering off to her home to retrieve additional tables. After a few “creative” solutions, the 17-anda-half tables were split into two sections and play proceeded. Oddly enough, even with the increased number of players, there were fewer slams attempted than in the previous week. Unfortunately, neither of the two slams attempted by East-West pairs were successful. HELP WANTED

Moose are currently in a real rut MICHAEL RUNTZ Nature’s Way
Autumn is here and despite the recent, unseasonably high temperatures, natural history phenomena are proceeding on schedule. Goldenrods and asters dominate the landscape. Canada geese numbers are on the rise and moose are in their rut. The rut — the moose’s breeding season — extends from mid-September to mid-October. Its age-old rituals are dominated by elegant displays and, on occasion, aggressive behaviour. Over the past two weeks I looked for rutting moose in Algonquin Park. Fresh tracks meandering along old roads or trails, shrubs with smashed branches, and loud moans of female moose are signs the rut has begun. It was shortly after 6 a.m. and I was walking to West Rose Lake on the Mizzy Lake Trail where on the previous morning I watched a large cow eating aquatic plants, and later, fording the creek on the opposite side of the rail bed. On this morning, I en-
Michael Runtz
This bull and cow Moose, which seemed ready to mate, were frightened away by a careless photographer. countered plenty of moose signs a kilometre before the lake. Extremely fresh tracks of two large and one small moose zigzagged across the rail bed. I stopped and listened intently but apart from the half-hearted song of a white-throated sparrow, it was silent. I
quietly continued on, scanning for moose near a small pond. After passing the pond I came around a bend and to my great surprise, looked directly into the eyes of a large cow moose. Beside her was her calf, which also silently stared at me.
I froze and both moose remained motionless. After several minutes a loud “crack” of a breaking branch caused them to look to the side. Another “crack” and a reasonably large bull sauntered out of the forest. The bull stopped and stared at me. By now the light was sufficient for a few photos, and I took advantage of it. Eventually, the cow began browsing on maples beside the rail bed, the calf following her lead. I became nervous when both began moving toward me, the bull in close pursuit. I carefully moved backwards, keeping my eye on the trio while planning an escape route if necessary. Suddenly the cow began moaning loudly and the bull began uttering guttural “gawunks” while his tongue licked the air for love scents. It was clear these moose were ready to mate. Fortunately for me, the cow left the rail bed and slowly strolled into the woods, the calf and bull close behind. I quietly snuck down to the edge of the pond and hid at a good vantage point. The cow and calf were visible but the bull was not, so I uttered a few cow calls. Eventually the bull responded and came into view. As it approached the cow, both began to vocalize and I got ready to photograph mating. Just then a photographer wandered along the trail and spotted me, and then the moose. He started down the bank near me, spooking the moose in the process. They left and could not be coaxed out again. Their love calls soon faded as they moved away. The photographer’s actions likely prevented me from recording a rarely seen event. But perhaps some behaviours are best kept away from probing eyes and cameras! The nature email is mruntz@start.ca

New to the event, was the Algonquin College Lumberjack show that showed off their expertise on how to use a chainshaw and what chainsaws can really do. Once again, the antique tractor parade was very well attended. Over 45 antique tractors were put on display and also participated in the parade around the site. Organized by the Renfrew County Plowmen’s Association, this is the 36th plowing match and behind the scenes, several volunteers came together a few days before and even the day after for set up as well as tear down.

Senior fall fair
The first ever Quail Creek Fall Fair was held on Tuesday, Sept. 12, with a number of special displays, including vintage cars from the Rolling Iron Car Club from Arnprior, antique farm equipment, entertainment by Ray Kohlsmith and arts/crafts.

Mary waits for the feeling of accomplishment to settle in Mother said I was old enough. There were many little chores I was already doing, like keeping the wood box full, and making sure the pan under the icebox didn’t overflow. And now Mother said I was old enough to make butter! I was both delighted and annoyed. Delighted because this was a very important job, and annoyed because we always churned on Saturday morning, and this new chore was certainly going to cut into my playtime. My sister Audrey, who up to then, was in charge of the churning, was more than happy to give it up. I certainly didn’t have to be taught how to do it. Goodness knows I watched Audrey every Saturday, and to me, all I had to do was sit on a chair, with the churn between my knees, and plop the plunger up and down in the cream until I made butter. It was an early Fall day when Mother announced that was the Saturday when I would take on this new chore. The churn had been rolled into the kitchen, very carefully, because it was half full of cream, and a chair put in front of it. I was ready to begin. But ENERGY TIP! You’ll use the machine less, save time and save energy, if you wash full loads. Wash at a lower temperature. Use the spin cycle, and then hang dry your clothes and sheets.

Dragonfly set to mark 20th anniversary Oct. 7 BILL RAINBOTH General manager, Dragonfly Golf Links
What happened to September? They say “time flies when you are having fun” so I guess a “ton” of fun happened last month. Summer weather continued last week to help us reach yet another record for rounds played here at Dragonfly. All this despite not having the men’s league on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The ladies league had their last week before their closing event on Saturday, Sept. 30. Stealing A flight were the Birdie Bandits. The Happy Campers won the tie breaker over Partee of Fore, and Underskilled & Over Par were not themselves, winning C flight. Closest to the Pin winners were Erin Thompson on #5, Lindsey Scobie on #7, Collette Yemen on #13, and Claire Rouble on
Mike McDonald had a hole in one on Sept. 23 on hole five at Dragonfly Golf Links. His weapon of choice was a pitching wedge. This was Mike’s first hole in one.
#18. This has been a great year for our new and improved ladies league. Big thanks to pro shop superstar Shawn Mosiondz for his efforts over the course of the year! Dragonfly had another hole in one on Saturday, Sept. 23. Congrats to Mike McDonald for his great shot on the fifth hole. His weapon of choice was a pitching wedge. This was Mike’s first hole in one. Well done sir, and may it be the first of many. Saturday, Oct. 7 is customer appreciation day at Dragonfly Golf Links. We have had a great summer, in this our 20th anniversary year. To celebrate, we are offering our valued customer a green fee, shared cart, and a hotdog for only $20! I think that this day will fill up fast, so please call the pro shop on 613 432 3838 to reserve your tee time.

Most communities in the Ottawa valley, big or small, tend to have a curling club and as a club we engage in fierce but friendly competition with our neighbours whether it’s the Low Cup, Autumn Leaves or just a friendly match. But when one of these clubs is in need the Valley rallies to support them. When the RCC needed help with the Brine Pipe project other clubs supported us through our Cash Spiel and breakfasts or in the case of Cobden, a direct donation. Now it is Cobden’s turn to call on us for help. The Cobden Curling Club faced the loss of its ice plant and quickly went into action with fundraising last year which was well supported by our members. The latest news is excellent as they are doing well with fundraising and have a few upcoming events planned. An appeal, once again, goes out to the surrounding communities for support. The list of events includes: 1) Breakfast Fundraiser on Sunday, Oct. 15,
INSIDE
at the Cobden Agricultural Hall, 43 Astrolabe Rd., Cobden from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. $8 per person, $5 per child under the age of 12. 2) Four Hand Euchre Parties at the Cobden Curling Club on Wednesday evenings in October. Wednesday, Oct. 4, 11, 18 and 25, 7:30 p.m., 43 Astrolabe Rd., Cobden. Cost is $4.00 per person and a light lunch is included. 3) Trivia Night Fundraiser at the Cobden Curling Club on Saturday, Nov. 25 at 8 p.m., doors open at 7:15 p.m. The cost is $60 per team and it can be four to six people. The bar will be open. Contact Shawna at smcb@nrtco.net or 613633-8910 to register your team. A limited number of teams can be accepted. Finally an update on the ice plant: In the last week of August, word was received that they were testing the ice plant unit at the factory and it was to be ready to be shipped within a few weeks of that time. Notification has yet to be received. There has been some work done at the rink to get ready for the arrival of the unit. Things so far are proceeding according to plan and the regular season of curling is expected to start in November, but no guarantees yet.

Thank you to our friends who organize the Laurel Rafuse Memorial Golf tournament every year. Last Sunday Renfrew Golf Club (RGC) hosted the 24th annual fundraiser and organizer Doug Miller didn’t need his umbrella this year, unless he was looking for shade as everyone enjoyed a fantastic day of sunshine. And this past Sunday, our Ladies Rec League held its final official day of golf on the hottest day of the year. All 24 teams of six girls participated in the season-ending event. We even added a shootout this year to add to the fun. At the end of the round, teams who decided to participate sent out one golfer to the 50 yard marker and for one shot, with the winner tak-
ing the pot. At the end of the shoot-out, the Par-Tee Girls were victorious, but we won’t mention how much they won in case their significant others are reading. And this past Friday, RGC held its fourth annual President’s Cup golf tournament. Our President’s Cup event is RGC’s way of thanking all of our partners, suppliers, tournament organizers and volunteers for being an integral part of RGC’s success. Coming up this Saturday is our Men’s Rec Closing Golf Day. The tournament begins at 12:30 p.m. While the weather won’t be as warm as it was for the ladies, the forecast is for sunny skies and no rain. Finally, a shout-out to 86 year-old RGC member Leo McCallum who shot an 80 last week. Apparently the older you get, the easier it is to shoot your age! Congrats Leo!

vegetable gardens, a compost station, a rain barrel, seeds, soil, two apple trees, and a maple tree. This year, they were able to grow strawberries, cucumbers, beans, tomatoes, green peppers, and carrots. On Sept. 22, Marcinda Pinsent, child care supervisor, and a few staff members welcomed the children over to the garden and immediately they were engaged in green leaves and encouraged to pick some of the fresh beans and tomatoes. “The children have learned a lot about vegetables, and how the scraps/paper towels have been turned into soil to feed the plants they have planted,” said Pinsent. “They were excited to see it grow and there are beans enough for snacks.” All of the children in the centre have been involved in every step of the process and they are learning the benefits of eating healthy. “For some, this is their first exposure to trying fresh food from the garden and collecting the rain for the garden,” said Pinsent. The second grant was the HKCC ‘Water Does Wonders’, and they received $1,200 to install a Culligan bottle free water bottle station, with colour-changing cups. “We love the new water station,” said Pinsent. “It promotes healthy drinking and has been a bit of a social gathering place for parents and the kids, it’s become a really popular place.” For more info on the new HKCC or the centre, contact Pinsent at 613-432-2627.

Renfrew County road and trails managers to speak to cyclists Cyclists, hikers and active transportation (AT) enthusiasts will have a chance to brainstorm with the people in charge of Renfrew County’s roads and trails on Oct. 4 in Cobden. That’s when OVCATA - the Ottawa Valley Cycling and Active Transportation Alliance - holds its annual general meeting at 7 p.m. at 17 West Restaurant. Featured speakers will be Steven Boland, the county’s director of public works and engineering and Jason Davies, who co-ordinates the county’s trail system. “We are really pleased that Steve and Jason will be joining us,” said OVCATA co-chair Ish Theilheimer. “They are busy people with a lot of irons in the fire, so we’re happy they can share some of their time with us to discuss the county’s plans and activities. “The public is very much invited, and anyone who cares about our roads and trails should attend.” OVCATA members and county staff members have worked together on an informal basis for years and have developed plans that are in the process of being carried out. Together, for instance, they devel-
oped a “matrix” of county roads in need of hardened shoulders for active transportation. Gradually, that plan is now being implemented. “It will never happen as quickly as we’d like,” said Theilheimer. “But we’ve had good support from county, and they are making progress. “As Steve has told me, it requires a ‘cultural shift,’ and that seems to be taking place.” “It’s an important time to discuss trails, he said, with major work being planned and undertaken on at least two rail lines running through the county.” In addition, the county is responsible for the K&P trail from Renfrew to Calabogie and numerous others. OVCATA was formed in 2016 to provide a formal voice for cycling and AT in general in County and to bring people together through events. This year, it sponsored or was a partner in approximately a dozen community events, including the month-long Silver Chain Challenge in June, in which County riders logged Submitted more than 28,000 km. OVCATA has approximately 180 Cyclists prepare to ride the Tour de Westmeath last July 8, one of a dozen events OVCATA either organized or took part in. Nearly 300 people turned out for this event. members.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.
sudoku
Barsaeinrs
horoscopes ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, it may seem like you have long been preparing for a big event. Now is your chance to finally take action. Try to do something proactive this week. You are ready to move forward.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Your inspiration comes from a blend of methodical planning as well as clever inspiration, Leo. The results will be exceptional if you keep at it.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may head in one direction only to find that you might have been better off going elsewhere. Eventually you will get your bearings.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, reality is setting in this week, and you realize just how much you need to catch up on. There is no more room for procrastination. It is time to get busy.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, even if you step out of your comfort zone, you will not venture too far. That is fine by you since you tend to be a creature of habit. Just expand your reach a little bit.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Take a risk at work, Capricorn. If you consistently sit in the shadows, then you won’t ever get ahead. Try a few things to make an impact without generating big waves.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, an attitude about a particular relationship is changing, and you may need to go with the flow. This may result in some self-doubt, but you can make it through.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Your friendly attitude can be just what others need in the week ahead, Libra. They simply cannot resist your charms, and you can help them to settle down.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Making decisions this week requires little effort on your part, Aquarius. That’s because all of your stress has melted away in the last few days and things are relatively easy.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, shifting circumstances at work may leave you a little confused. Reassess your situation and come up with a new plan. Work collectively toward the goal.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, recognition is coming your way. Embrace the attention and recognize that it is not unfounded. You earned the praise about to be heaped on you.
PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, even though everything seems predictable right now, things are about to get a little backwards in the next few days

News from the Renfrew Art Guild CHRIS MUSSETT
With the unseasonally warm weather and with the colours of autumn approaching, it is a great time for outdoor painters, photographers, hikers and paddlers. If you have not yet had the opportunity to see the expanded Canadian Collection at the National Gallery of Canada, this autumn would be a wonderful time to do so. A Saturday in the market area of Ottawa provides a wonderful array of cultural and historic sites, fresh food vendors and specialty food shops, a chance to experience the remodelled National Arts Centre and Rideau Centre and maybe to lunch on a scenic outdoor patio amid the ambience. You can wander through The National Gallery and see the permanent collection of vivid autumn paintings by The Group of Seven and others. I encourage everyone to visit the Rideau Chapel while there to listen to Janet Cardiff’s haunting and beautiful 40 Part Motet, a sound installation of 40 speakers placed throughout the space each playing one voice of the 40 voices in the Renaissance vocal work by Thomas Tallis. Walk around as voices drift in and out of hearing and sit on the benches in the middle, close your eyes and be transported. Our next meeting is on Tuesday, Oct. 3 at 7 p.m. at Trinity-St. Andrew’s, Quarry Avenue entrance. We will view the work of members and guests and have them tell us about how they came to their artistic activity, about their influences, how they do their work and what they experience from doing it. Come and experience our friendly group!
Renfrew library hosts An Evening Walk in Italy The Renfrew Library is getting serious about fun programming for adults and seniors! It begins Tuesday, Oct. 3 at 6:30 p.m. when we welcome Ray Parchelo from the Padakun Centre for Contemplative Walking as he takes us on, “An Evening Walk through Italy.” Enjoy beautiful photographs with Ray as your guide. They do have limited space, so
please register by calling the library (613-432-8151), messaging us via Facebook or emailing us at renlib@ renfrew.library.on.ca to reserve your spot. If you miss this event, don’t worry! Ray will be hosting an encore presentation at the library on Thursday, Nov. 9 at 6:30 p.m. There is a $2/person cost and “Italian” refreshments will be served.

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, September 28, 2017 49
Renfrew Collegiate Institute opens with Raider spirit RENFREW COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE
In the first three weeks of school, RCI Raiders have been actively involved in many extracurricular activities and sports to connect them to their school and beyond. The senior girls’ basketball team got off to an early start, attending an invitational tournament in Cornwall. The Elizabeth Denis Memorial Basketball Tournament is named after a former arts and music teacher from Holy Trinity CSS who, although never a smoker, was diagnosed with a rare form of lung cancer in April 2015 while pregnant with her first child and was given the grim prognosis of one year to live. Her courage is celebrated in this early-bird tournament for girls. In the season opener Friday night,
the senior girls defeated La Citadelle, OFSSA champions in 2014, in a convincing game of tough defence and good team play. This game set the tone for a weekend of intense offense and defence, team bonding, and goal setting. RCI met two AA teams in their subsequent games, challenging both, but coming up short of the win. The junior girls basketball team also opened their season with several games at Opeongo High School. The girls, including several Grade 9 players new to the team, played tenacious defence and demonstrated their potential as a competitive squad for the coming season. All Raiders participated this week in Spirit Week. Each individual — student, teacher, administrator, office
support, and custodial staff — in the school is a member of a house. Some house names include Renfrew Rising, Purple Rain, and Black Attack. The Raiders all participated in a Street Party the morning of the first day back to school and have since met as a house twice, recently completing their first fundraiser, selling cookie dough. The activities during Spirit Week included dressing up for Jersey Day, Tacky Tourist Day, and Valley Day — which included plaid, camo, and lots of country living attire. Daily at lunch, students competed in rallies and games hosted for spirit-building Submitted and team participation. RCI has been a great place to be these past three RCI held a spirit week to kick off back to school with a Valley Day - which included plaid, camo, and lots of country living attire. weeks. Go Raiders go!
