MAN DIES OF INJURIES Jerry Azevedo of London will appear in Pembroke provincial court Aug. 18 following the death of a Toronto man at Wilderness Tours, Beachburg, on the Ottawa River.

At the request of the family, the name of the deceased hasn’t been released by the OPP. The Toronto man sustained serious head injuries Aug. 1. He died Aug. 6.

Azevedo, who remains in custody, had been charged with aggravated assault and assault causing bodily harm. But those charges will be updated Aug. 18. The investigation continues under Det.-Inspector Chris Nicholas of the OPP’s criminal investigation branch.

SULLIVAN AND TOWN SETTLE A lengthy impasse between the Town of Renfrew and business man Murray Sullivan is over. Renfrew council’s seven members unanimously supported a motion Monday that effectively ended the town’s case before the Ontario Court of Appeal involving costs associated with property Sullivan sought to buy in 2003.

The local stop on the Liberal Express summer tour was certainly one to remember, says federal Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff.

“There are moments in a politician’s life that are just a blur because you do six meetings a day. You shake a lot of hands you can’t remember,” said Ignatieff.

“And then there are evenings that you remember all your life.”

Local Liberal candidate Christine Tabbert hosted Ignatieff and the tour at a corn roast at her family’s Mercury photo by Sherry Haaima Laurentian Valley Sunny Hillcrest Farm Aug. 9.

Veteran police officer back in his own backyard STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metrolandlcom

After 26 years as a police officer in Renfrew, Colin Slight left to become the staff-sergeant with the Killaloe detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police in July 2008.

But two years later, he has returned to his own backyard as the newest staff-sergeant of the Renfrew OPP detachment.

“It’s been enjoyable, it’s been a good experience,” says Slight, 48, of his police career.

“And I look forward to continuing on the path I’m on.”

A resident of nearby Horton Township, Slight says he’s enjoyed his time in the Killaloe detachment of 32 officers, but says it’s a bonus now having a fiveminute, no longer a 55-minute, commute to work.

“I enjoy being back here for the sake of seeing familiar faces,

and I still live in Horton Township,” says Slight, whose departure leaves Bruce Sawbridge as acting staff-sergeant of the Killaloe detachment. Sawbridge is also the husband of Janice Sawbridge, community affairs officer of the Renfrew OPP. See SLIGHT, Page 21

Liberal Express: All about hearing about another choice, says Ignatieff STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Izett McBride serves up fresh corn to Ron Walsh at Monday’s corn roast.

‘Everybody is friendly, respectful, and glad to be here’ dress.

“Part of the reason it matters so much to me to take politics to this farm – the Tabbert farm – is to say loud and clear in every riding in the country that rural Canada matters to the Liberal party,” Rural areas are important for a lot more reasons than just the fact agriculture is such a vital industry, said Ignatieff.

“Some of the deepest and truest values of Canadian life are most securely guarded in rural Canada,” he said.

When he visited the Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke riding four years ago the divide between rural and urban Canada was an issue, he said, and some things haven’t changed.

Young people often have to leave to fund adequate employment, health care is lacking, and 800,000 rural Canadians still do not have access to broadband Internet.

“That means we have two Canadas - one who’s online and one who’s not online,” he said.

Continued from front “I’ll remember being here in the setting sun with these two beautiful tents, everybody at trestled tables,” Ignatieff told the crowd.

“Everybody (is) friendly, respectful, glad to be here.”

From the start, it was a memorable experience.

Ignatieff thanked hosts for a “most unforgettable welcome” that included being piped along the lane of the farm.

“Half of me is Scottish so when I get piped down the road by a Scottish piper, it stirs me right up,” he said.

Ignatieff greeted those gathered, shaking hands and speaking with many of the people assembled. The Liberals and the summer tour aim to bring civility and fun back to politics, he said.

“I’ve tried to shake every hand in the house, I’ve tried to kiss every baby that didn’t shrink away in horror,” Ignatieff said. “Because I love politics and I love doing it this way.”

Rural issues were a focus of his ad-

Six provinces in, with three more provinces and three territories to go.

It’s going to be a long haul, with an anticipated 40,000 kilometres in bus travel across Canada for the Liberal Express summer tour. But the tour that offers a fresh opportunity for the Liberal Party, according to federal leader Michael Ignatieff.

Monday’s travels took the leader and the Liberal Express through Renfrew County, where he ended with day with a corn roast at the family farm of local federal Liberal candidate Christine Tabbert.

He also took time for one-on-one interviews with local newspapers, including the Renfrew Mercury and its sister paper, the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide.

“I just think it’s great to get politics out of Ottawa and out of the bubble, out to the farm, out to the wharf ….” said Ignatieff.

Whether it’s seaside or farmside, Ignatief says Canadians are responding positively to the Liberal Express. And they’re not just Liberal Party supporters, says the party leader.

“A lot of people have come to kick the trees. What’s important is that Canadians have an alternative (to the present Conservative government).”

In politics, coming to a region to seek or strengthen support also requires knowledge of local issues.

In a brief telephone interview, Ignati-

eff had quick responses to various local issues, in particular heritage designation for the Ottawa River, the extension of Highway 417 from Arnprior through to Pembroke and beyond, and the future of the Atomic Energy of Canada Limited operation in Chalk River.

The highway’s extension through Renfrew County, said Ignatieff, “has been a concern for some time. We want to improve infrastructure in rural and most parts of Canada.”

In Renfrew County, local Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant says giving the Ottawa River heritage status without involving Quebec (which has expressed disinterest) would send the “wrong message to our neighbours”).

Meanwhile, Renfrew County councillors and others continue to push for heritage status as part of a project begun by past local Liberal MP Len Hopkins, who died a few years ago.

Anywhere where iconic explorer Samuel de Champlain has paddled, such as the Ottawa River, is important to identify as part of Canada’s development, says Ignatieff.

“I think anything that embraces Canadian heritage, anything that helps Canadians understand our country better and protects the heritage of our country is a good thing,” said Ignatieff.

“Whether the designation is the right thing, I don’t know.”

Meanwhile, Ignatieff said he hopes Canadians continue to hear, during this Liberal Express, about the Liberal alternative to the Conservative government, therefore an alternative that plans to invest in such issues as rural broadband, rural firefighters, and rural agriculture.

The very fact his interview with the Renfrew Mercury was interrupted (and then continued) after cell phone connection was lost, was evidence that technological infrastructure for rural Canada needs to be improved with the help of the federal government, said Ignatieff.

He says the Liberals have committed to spending $500 million to enhance broadband communication in Canada.

Meanwhile, Ignatieff says the key thing about the Liberal Express tour is that people are showing up to hear what the Liberal Party has to say.

“They want to hear more,” said the federal party leader.

Overcoming an addiction—especially a nicotine dependency—is never easy. So four years after implementing a highlyeffective smoking cessation program, Renfrew Victoria Hospital is celebrating a doubling of its patients’ success rate.

With enhanced levels of counselling, treatments, resources and understanding from the health care team at RVH, twice as many patients are now making the choice to butt-out for the long term.

Since June 2006, RVH has been an active member of a network that involves more than 40 hospitals linked through a program developed by the University of Ottawa Heart Institute—The Ottawa Model for Smoking Cessation (OMSC).

“The Renfrew Victoria Hospital inpatient units have put an exemplary smoking cessation program into practice and your efforts are helping to impact the health of Ontario residents,” praises Dr. Andrew Pipe of the Ottawa Heart Institute in a recent letter to RVH.

Through this proactive approach based on a set of standardized best practices, RVH has assisted more than 346 smokers to embrace a healthier lifestyle without cigarettes.

Before partnering with the OMSC, seven per cent of patients who were encouraged to kick the habit were able to remain smokefree after six months. Now, more than 14 per cent of former smokers are able to stay away from cigarettes.

Maureen Magill, respiratory therapist at RVH and trained cessation specialist, explains the Five A’s of the program: Asking and documenting a patient’s nicotine dependence; Advising on the benefits of quitting; Assessing their readiness; Assisting with personalized pharmacotherapy/counselling; and Arranging for followup contact post-discharge.

“In the hospital, the doctor is able to fill out a prescription for an appropriate form of nicotine replacement therapy—the patch, an inhaler or gum—to help with the

cravings,” Magill says. Patients are also smoking cessation. Nurse managers and provided with valuable self-help materials, doctors linked through the program are also including books from the Canadian Cancer kept up-to-date on the latest in cessation news and research.

Society.

Magill hopes success will breed more Follow-up phone calls are made through an automated system and if they are success, and is encouraging more staff struggling, patients are able to speak with members to take the training and become certified cessation specialists. someone for further assistance.

“It’s so inspiring to be able to help in this It is through these phone calls that all of the data is tabulated. RVH nurses also way,” she says. collect their own statistics on patients staying in the hospital and report it each week to the OMSC centre.

RPN Stephanie Wright is responsible for compiling the figures at RVH each week and sending them off to the Heart Institute. She’s also on the front lines in the active care unit and occasionally sees some of the patients who have been through the program and are continuing their new smoke-free lifestyle.

“They’re very supportive of the patients who are dedicated to quitting,” Wright says of the network’s followup system.

The Heart Institute is also very supportive of its partners in this program and hosts Stephanie Wright, RPN, and Maureen Magill, regular training seminars and respiratory therapist, are ready to help RVH patients annual workshops for staff in put smoking behind them.

Will there be a mayor’s race in AdmastonBromley?

STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Admaston-Bromley councillor Jack Kelly is the first to file his nomination papers for the mayor’s race in AdmastonBromley.

But will it be a race? After all, in Admaston-Bromley’s last municipal election all council members were acclaimed and the veteran politician and incumbent mayor, Raye-Anne Briscoe, may not run again.

She does have a full plate of continuing responsibilities, including vice-chair with the Renfrew and Area Health Services Villages Board, chair of Renfrew County’s finance and administration committee, and treasurer of the county’s Expo 150 committee, which is gearing up for the county’s 150th anniversary celebrations in 2011.

But as Briscoe points out, Kelly has considerable political experience, too.

“Jack has been around a lot longer than I have,” Briscoe admitted.

“I’m leaning toward running, but it’s certainly not definite,” added Briscoe, who was deputy-reeve in Admaston from 1993-98, then reeve of Admaston prior to the amalgamation of Admaston and Bromley townships in 2000.

Briscoe may also be tired, after winning a recent battle with breast cancer, but the 67-year-old says she’s leaning toward running again. She says she’ll make the decision in conjunction with her husband, John.

Kelly, now 52, says he thought of running the last election, when he was acclaimed along with councillors Sandra Crozier, Dirk Rook, Bob Dick and Mayor Briscoe.

Kelly, who’s been a postal worker for two years, worked numerous years as a truck driver with Crozier Excavating.

“It’s this time or never, I guess,” said Kelly, who has served 19 years on local councils.

“I figure it’s time to take it one step farther.

“I have no real axes to grind,” insisted Kelly.

“I’ve had the opportunity to serve under and with some fantastic people. It’s just something I think it’s time to do.”

Safety, with or without a pool

In defence of Cheryl Gallant

To the editor: Well, folks − for three consecutive terms now Renfrew County has had the good fortune to have Cheryl Gallant as our federal Member of Parliament.

In fact, Cheryl has been voted in, time after time, by an increasing majority of voters, and that includes a substantial number of former Liberals, who have come to realize she is not some blathering, pork barrel politician who will promise them anything, but give them nothing once elected.

And to all of those former Liberals, I doff my hat.

See IN DEFENCE, Page 7

We’re past the halfway point of summer, when water safety is often the last thing on the mind – that is, until something goes wrong.

According to the Canadian Red Cross, the most drownings happen in July and August when temperatures are typically at their highest.

Now is the time to think about water safety – before your toes touch the water.

The City of Ottawa website says the leading cause of drowning with children is a backyard pool. So, make sure a pool, if you have one, is properly padlocked to prevent children from falling in.

When it comes to swimming in open water, women are more likely to observe safe water practices.

Every year, more men drown than their female counterparts. Canadian Red Cross statistics show 81 per cent of all drownings are men.

So how can swimmers stay safe?

The most important thing is to never swim alone. Make sure that if something goes wrong, there is still someone around to call for help.

In fact, even if the dream is realized of a community pool in Renfrew – in keeping with the town’s just-completed master plan for recreation, parks and culture – the importance of swim safety won’t end.

We’ll still need lifeguards. But we’ll still need to encourage those who can’t swim to learn how ... so society is a better place for all.

Positive move by tourism committee

LETTER

Another opinion on public library ‘video’ issue To the editor: I would like to make a few points regarding the kerfuffle over the library’s video collection.

First, the Renfrew library collection does, in fact, include a number of documentaries and a few classics that are rarely, if ever, found in movie rental stores. As for the library’s mainstream video collection, it consists of a spotty mishmash of older videos, most of which have already been pulled from the shelves of rental stores to make room for the latest blockbusters.

Second, for people who have to choose between bandaids and bananas, between rent and medical treatment, free books and movies are the only entertainment they will ever get since even the local museum costs $2 per person to visit. Such families – though they, more than most, need an occasional diversion from their miseries – they NEVER rent from retailers and can therefore not be con-

sidered potential customers. As for anyone who takes the attitude that the poor deserve their poverty and should just sit and twiddle their thumbs rather than be allowed to have access to any sort of entertainment: Shame on you – especially if you dare to call yourself Christian!

Third, a business that closes its Raglan Street doors to the public and advertises adult videos from its front windows is not only driving away walk-in customers but also anyone who does not want to be seen waltzing into a ‘dirty video joint.’ There is no evidence from the advertising in the front window that the place has family viewing or any other mainstream video releases available to the public. And most of us do not want to walk all the way around the block to find out what is offered.

Finally, the number-crunchers of the world should actually do the math occasionally. If you rent something for $10, you may

Mercury Mercur y The Renfrew

get 50 customers. If you rent it for $2, you will likely get a thousand customers and, therefore, a significantly larger total revenue.

There may be a fair number of people in Renfrew who are well heeled (this is the only place in Canada I’ve seen an actual Rolls Royce!), but many of them pinch a penny as hard as any welfare mother. And many who dress well are covering meagre means.

Too many enterprises, large and small, are operating on business models that do not take into account much reality.

If you want to blame your problems on stupid government policies, on the overall economy, or on our social degradation, I’m with you. If you want to blame them on the local library, you’ll get no sympathy or respect from me.

To the editor: It is not very often that most of us feel compelled to write about something good. On this occasion, however, it gives our board great pleasure to sound the trumpet for a relatively new and unheralded committee that has hit a home run with one of its first initiatives.

I am speaking of the new signage that was put in place by the Renfrew and Area Tourism Committee.

We have had many compliments, given by museum visitors, as to how helpful the signs were for them. I have received positive comments at Renfrew County Museum Network meetings from other communities. People are really impressed that Renfrew has made that extra effort to welcome them.

It is often the simple ideas that carry a large impact. The committee, with the backing of the Renfrew Industrial Commission, has done an excellent job in this instance.

OPINION

Concerned about EODP’s future To the editor: Please accept this open letter to local MP Cheryl Gallant as a letter to the editor.

To MP Cheryl Gallant: We at Stone Fence Theatre want to thank you and the Government of Canada for the confidence you have shown in the Eastern Ontario Development Program (EODP). We are dismayed, however, to learn that this important program so helpful to rural communities like ours may be eliminated.

With the help of EODP and Renfrew County Community Futures Development Corporation,

our company became an enduring heritage institution and a cultural touchstone, creating full- and part-time jobs for more than 100 people over the course of our eight-year existence, and helping many young people develop their abilities and careers.

Every year we bring hundreds of thousands of dollars into our local economy attracting tourists from all over Canada and the world.

Investments from EODP were crucial in helping us get launched.

Thanks to the boost we got at the beginning from EODP, we now self-supporting.

SAVE THE DATE

It is examples such as ours that demonstrate the compelling effect that the EODP has had on Renfrew County.

Unfortunately, the program is scheduled to end on March 31, 2011 and its renewal is uncertain.

We ask that you continue to support this influential initiative that represents an important federal presence in rural and remote communities throughout Eastern Ontario.

Sincerely,

for the 8th Annual

In defence of local Member of Parliament point, you see − because this technique allows these bottom feeders to publicly denigrate her without ever having to confront her face to face.

Their only intent is to pose questions, make accusations, and create doubt.

The hope is that if repeated enough times in the press, the public will think there must be something to these accusations after all, especially if the person being attacked declines to dignify the accusations with a reply, which the critics will then point to as being evidence of guilt.

Ignatieff visits county on Liberal Express tour From Page 3 The Liberal Party has made a clear commitment to end that digital divide and invest in rural health services, said Ignatieff.

Tabbert welcomed Ignatieff to the riding and said it was an honour and a pleasure for her family to host the leader.

Since her nomination in September 2009, Tabbert said she has been working for change.

“We have been working very hard traveling all over this very vast riding,” she said. “We’ve had coffee parties from Eganville to Douglas, Waba to Arnprior, Deep River to Pembroke.”

She urged voters to choose change instead of “a government that really shows us by their actions that they’re more interested in governing based on idealogy than on knowledge and facts.”

The Liberal Express has travelled over 20,000 kilometres this summer, said Tabbert, reaching out to people across the country.

She was pleased to welcome Ignatieff and showcase her roots.

“I have friends here, I have family here, I grew up right here and I went to local schools nearby,” said Tabbert.

“I really want to ensure that future generations are fortunate enough to enjoy the kind of rural upbringing that I enjoyed in this

riding.”

Many of the estimated 400 in attendance had a chance to meet with Ignatieff and his wife, including Roger and Gillian Danby of Arnprior, who were im-

pressed. “I think he hit the right chord here,” said Roger “Certainly a lot of people really appreciate him coming up to the riding. I think he made political headway here.”

NATURE

Eastern bluebirds still nesting around the area Ross and I have noted nesting activity in the bluebird box in our field.

This afternoon we peeked and glimpsed four tiny, tiny babies in our bluebird nest-box. I didn’t want to open the box door for too long and interrupt the feeding, so I just took a very quick look.

Judy McEwen Judy sent us this email Aug. 2, and although somewhat late in the season for bluebirds to be nesting, it is not unusual. The birds will have plenty to fledge and prepare for the trip south.

Bluebird families will be returning to our bird boxes in a few weeks. It seems that they return to the boxes each fall before they make trip south. They will often place nesting material in the boxes. Why they do this is not clear, but it could be to familiarize their young to their home territory.

COLLISION NOT FATAL Terry Johnston sent us a picture of a bird that had collided with one of the windows his home and asked if we would identify the species.

The bird that Terry

revived was an immature American Goldfinch. Goldfinches are late nesters and it is very likely that this young bird is from the first brood. Reflections in window glass make it very difficult for birds to distinguish between what is real and what is not.

The birds can often be revived by holding them gently in your hands.

This keeps them protected from predators and prevents them from flopping around and injuring themselves further.

Bird Studies Canada has been closely monitoring the Deep Horizon blow-out in the Gulf of Mexico since the event began in late April. The U.S. Gulf Coast is an important stopover area for many bird species from Canada.

Three months after the blow-out, Bird Studies Canada is suggesting the catastrophic worst-case scenarios that had worried us (and many others) initially have not materialized. We probably won’t know the full environmental impact for several years.

However, there is every indication most Canadian bird species

The Renfrew lumber industry was at its peak at the turn of the century, and we have many artifacts in our logging display from around that time to show for it. These include log scaling and measuring sticks, ‘pike poles’ and ‘cant hooks’ used for gripping, pulling, and moving logs when on water or land, and numerous devices for cutting down and creating planks and boards out of the logs.

Family rallies for CFC fundraiser Aug. 14 at Wal-Mart

REGAN’S JOURNEY About 100 people have been confirmed with CFC Syndrome, and it is estimated only 300 people may have it worldwide.

“Regan had a very challenging start to her life, but has been going strong ever since,” says Sara.

Just before she turned four, Regan met with a cardiac geneticist and her blood work came back positive for CFC. Not long afterwards, the McCann family received a phone call from the liaison person for CFC welcoming them to their group.

Sara admits at first she wanted to say she didn’t want to be part of the group, that “this is not what I planned for our child or our lives.” But she quickly learned how helpful the group would be.

Sara describes the parents of other CFC children as wonderful and notes how all of their stories touched her heart.

“I also started meeting with a group of moms (with children with special needs) every week at our Early Intervention office in our area which is part of the South Shore ARC,” Sara explains.

They still meet once a month for dinner which gives them a chance to catch up, meet and support new

moms and learn from the moms with older children with special needs.

Sara hopes the support she received from CFC International will be returned to the organization and passed on to other families through a successful fundraiser Aug. 14 in Renfrew.

members and friends have been busy printing posters and offering to bake, barbecue and shop for the fundraiser.

“If the weather is good, Regan will be on hand to flash her beautiful smile. Hope to see you all,” she says.

)

The Canadian family and friends of a four-yearold American girl is the spark behind a fundraising bake sale and barbecue Aug. 14 at Wal-Mart in Renfrew.

Regan McCann was born with a very rare syndrome called Cardiofaciocutaneous (CFC) Syndrome.

CFC International will receive proceeds from the Aug. 14 event; a thank you for all the support group has meant to the little girl’s family.

“My roots are in Renfrew and the Ottawa Valley where most of my family live and where I grew up,” says Regan’s mom Sara (Visinski) who left the area in her mid-20s to marry husband Christopher and settle in Weymouth, Mass., just south of Boston.

“As stressful as Regan’s first few years were, we’ve had the best support from our families, north and south of the border. We can’t thank them enough,” says Sara.

“Regan and Cameron (Regan’s older brother who is now six years old) have always spent vacations up in the Renfrew area,” says Sara. “They love to visit all the wonderful family and friends they have.”

Both children feel a strong connection to the Renfrew community where their mother grew up, she says.

“To be able to go to the bank and the grocery store and meet old friends and family is priceless to me,” says Sara.

It was during a phone call last spring that Regan’s great aunt Judi Gilmore proposed the family host a charity barbecue and bake sale with proceeds going to CFC International.

“I was deeply touched by this because I’ve wanted to give back to CFC International and I just hadn’t taken the first step,” says Sara. Since then family

Lonergan, teammate conquer world’s toughest boat race PATRICIA LONERGAN patricia.lonergan@metroland.com

Renfrew Collegiate Institute graduate and former Horton Township resident Derek Lonergan successfully completed the world’s toughest boat race under the 100-hour deadline.

Despite a month-long race postponement and subsequent changes to the ground crew, Lonergan and his canoe partner Tyler Labelle paddled to the finish line of the 421-kilometre annual Texas Water Safari in 76 hours.

Under the banner Team Chinook, the pair not only set out to test their mettle against seasoned paddlers, they also used the event to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society.

Whitewater, muddy portages, eight-foot waves, alligators, fog, hallucinations and soaring temperatures were just some of the dangers Lonergan and his teammate endured as they raced from San Marcos to Seadrift, Tx. “The most memorable part of the race was the third night,” Lonergan said, explaining he and Labelle had been paddling for 66 hours on just four hours sleep when they came across six log jams along the route. The first jam required a 220metre portage. They were standing in the shallows putting the boat back in the river when they noticed the head of a nearly two-metre (six-foot) alligator in the river nearby.

“It came close a few times, disappearing into the murky water and rising closer,” the former Horton Township resident said, noting that while it was disconcerting, it also got the adrenaline pumping and really woke up the teammates. It wasn’t the only time the duo came across

the large lizards.

“Most of the other log jams had us jumping out of the boats onto the logs, pulling the boats over and getting back in, all the while red-glowing beady eyes of alligators would be looking on from the bayous and shallows,” Lonergan continued.

“I think the main thing you thought when standing on a log floating in the river was, ‘Just don’t fall in.’”

The third night also saw the boys paddling down a section known as hallucination alley. It’s the last 64 kilometres of the route and most racers haven’t had much sleep, so their minds start to play tricks.

“A few times I could’ve sworn the Pillsbury Dough-Boy was on the shore,” Lonergan recalled.

The hardest part of the race, though, was the soaring daytime temperatures.

The mercury peaked at 42 Celsius, a temperature neither paddler had been able to train in since Canada tends to be much cooler. As the river opened and tree cover became sparse, the sun would beat down and zap both Lonergan and Labelle of energy. Since slowing down just meant more time in the sun, the two had to force themselves to push on.

As the two approached the last leg of the race, Mother Nature threw a curve ball. Strong winds made for choppy water in the bay between the river and the finish line. While crossing the barge canal, the teammates encountered 2.5-metre (eight-foot) waves.

“We positioned the boat on an angle not to take a broadside and not to swamp the bow of the boat,” Lonergan said. “The waves were so big that when you came down into the trough, all you could see was the wave that had just passed and the wave coming in.”

With the help of his professional pit crew, Jason Pasco and Shawn Kelly, they were able to change a broken axel. This allowed Sled to win the grudge match and then the final – redemption from last year. Woito would like to remind you of the Renfrew Demolition Derby on Sept. 8 at the Renfrew Fair.

Former Horton Township resident and Renfrew Collegiate Institute graduate Derek Lonergan, in front of boat, and Tyler Labelle make their way through in the upper stretches of the river in the 412-kilometre Texas Water Safari.

Despite the tough conditions, Lonergan and Labelle revelled in the challenge the final push to the finish line provided. “I thoroughly enjoyed the ride the bay provided us, from the mouth of the Guadelupe to the stairs as Seadrift,” Lonergan said. “I believe this was my strongest section.”

In the end, the teammates arrived at the finish line 24 hours before the deadline, earning themselves a coveted Texas Water Safari finishers patch and plaque, as well as bragging rights.

Lonergan indicated he’s satisfied with his result, especially since they’d never run the course before and had to deal with difficulties not normally found on Canadian rivers. “I am actually considering running the race again next year,” he said. To date, he and Labelle have raised about $2,500 for the Canadian Cancer Society. They plan to continue accepting donations until the second week of August.

No. 1 all-time still a longshot Will Alex Rodriguez surpass Barry Bonds’ Major League Baseball home run plateau of 762 before his career is done?

I saw a web poll where 72 per cent of the people felt he’d do it. He might be hard pressed to reach 700.

Yes, A-Rod is the youngest player to club No. 600 at 35 years and eight days, so he’s got that going for him.

No. 600 came three years to the day after he hit 500. At that clip, No. 700 will come when A-Rod is 38, which would still buy him time to chase Bonds’ record.

But A-Rod is slowing down. His latest milestone round-tripper was his 17th of 2010. If he averages 25 per season, it’s going to take four more years to eclipse 700.

Injuries are also creeping up and he’s off the juice.

700 homers might be attainable, but 763? Put me down among the 28 per cent in the above-mentioned web poll.

There are some other interesting chases going on out there.

• Can Tiger Woods match Jack Nicklaus’s 18 career major golf victories? Or better yet, win No. 19?

A couple of years ago, I would have said, “Absolutely.” Now I’m not so sure.

Tiger is stalled at 14 major wins.

• How many NBA championships will the Miami Heat’s Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh win together?

PETER CLARK PETER’S PUTTERINGS I’m hoping none, but I’ll say one. They are in for a rude awakening.

• Glory hound Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre will retire only when the NFL renames itself the No Favre League in his honour.

Kids, aunts heartbroken: A million kids in the greater Chicago area have broken hearts upon learning the Blackhawks let Stanley Cup-winning goaltender Antti Niemi go after his successful $2.75 million arbitration hearing, instead opting for free agent netminder Marty Turco.

“Every kid was calling their favourite aunt Auntie Niemi,” said a source close to the Blackhawks. “If the Hawks can’t stay at the top this year, they’ll call her Anti Turco.” * * * Jack Nicklaus never did win a Canadian Open golf title, but finished second an amazing seven times.

And for this week: Who is second on the current MLB active home run list with 579?

Skating help needed THIS WEEK’S FEATURE

The Renfrew Skating Club is looking for some help on the ice for the upcoming 2010-11 skating season.

The club is asking interested volunteers to help out with the learn-to-skate program on Thursdays at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

Kim Ryan of the skating club notes there are two 10-week learn-toskate sessions, from early October to before Christmas; and January to March.

“We need people to help the little kids stand

up,” Ryan said.

“Maybe some high school kids can help out and earn their volunteer hours.”

A strong back might be essential as much time is spent keeping the youngsters on their feet, particularly during the first 10-week session, Ryan said.

Improvements in the kids’ skating can really be noticed in the new year, she added.

Anyone interested in helping out can call Kim Ryan at 613-4337464 for times and additional information.

Once again, the Town of Renfrew will be conducting drinking water sampling and testing for lead to comply with Ontario Regulations. The town is seeking volunteer test sites in single family homes, multi-unit buildings, commercial properties, and industrial properties.

The Renfrew Mercury - August 12, 2010

THIS WEEK’S FEATURE

Under the provincial legislation, the municipality must test the drinking water for lead at 40 private residences, 4 non-private residences, between June 15, 2010 and October 15, 2010.

• Tests would be performed at older residences suspected of having lead pipes or pipes with lead solder.

• Homes built before the mid-1950s could have lead pipes.

• Lead solder was used to join copper pipes and was phased out in the late 1980s; any new construction done after those years should not be affected by lead in the piping system.

Since the Town must access homes to test for the presence of lead, we are looking for volunteers to allow the Town of Renfrew staff access to their homes to collect samples.

There will be NO charge to the resident for the testing of the lead sample.

THIS WEEK’S FEATURE

Each sample will total three litres in each location and the regulations obligate the town to advise tenants of the test results as soon as they are available.

The higher risk individuals affected by lead that exceeds the standards are pregnant women, infants and children under the age of 6 years old.

The Town will require permission of the property owner to take the samples. If you wish to be added to the list of potential test sites please contact the Development and Works Department, Municipal Garage, Darl Gaudette at 613-432-4147.

Terry Fox Run: Organizers seek 30 teams in 30th year peter.clark@metroland.com

This year’s Terry Fox Run on Sunday, Sept. 19 marks its 30th year.

To celebrate this milestone, the Renfrew Terry Fox Run Committee is eager to have 30 teams register to participate in the noonhour 2010 run.

Last year, including school events, the Town of Renfrew collected “an amazing total of $18,088, and we’re hoping to exceed that amount this year,” organizers noted.

This year’s committee is made up of Tanya Campbell 613-4339380 (bcampbell22@sympatico. ca), Sheena Pilgrim 433-8210 (pilgrimsheena@hotmail.com), Pat McGregor 432-3337 (patter@ sympatico.ca), Gladys Sidock 4322549 (sidock@nrtco.net) and Nina Gould 432-3375 (price.gould@ gmail.com).

“We want to get the word out to businesses, work places and organizations to put in a team, but we also want to get families involved,” Campbell pointed out.

“We want to increase the number of participants,” Pilgrim added. “Two people can make a team.”

“We have a couple of teams that come out every year,” Pilgrim said. “Ottawa Valley Physiotherapy had everybody. It is impressive to see people dressed in the same shirts running for a common goal.”

“Patrick Cayen has offered to do a stretch session prior to the Run from 11:20 to 11:40,” Campbell added. “In addition, for every person that participates in his stretch session, Ottawa Valley Physiotherapy will donate an additional $2. More people stretching means more dollars for cancer research.”

Another team out year after year is Scotiabank, Campbell added.

“We want 30 teams participating this year. If we get more teams, that would be wonderful,” Pilgrim noted. Packages are available from any of the Terry Fox committee members explaining how to get a team together, and the run itself.

“We are looking to get more people to take part,” stressed Pilgrim. “It (The Terry Fox Run) is not a day-long event. It only takes a couple of hours, and you don’t have to run. You can walk, bike,

rollerskate, however you like.”

“There is a 10-k run, but also a 5-k, which goes right down main street. You can stop and browse in the stores (along the way). The five’s becoming very popular,” said Campbell.

The sisters add, there is no minimum amount one has to raise to participate. Any amount will help to contribute to Renfrew’s total.

Pilgrim and Campbell note, many people participate in the Terry Fox Run in memory of a loved one. Their mother, former Renfrew town councillor Lois LeClaire, was an organizer of the local run for years.

The first Terry Fox Run was in 1981. Renfrew first participated in 1982. “There were 40 participants that year. We’ve had upwards of 250 (in years since),” Campbell observed. “Renfrew has raised almost $252,000 – more than a quarter of a million dollars – in the 28 years,” she added.

People are welcome to make a donation to this year’s Terry Fox Run on the day of the event.

“For every dollar collected, 87 cents goes directly to cancer research,” Campbell explained.

Organizations, businesses, families putting teams together may register the day of the tun.

“But let us know in advance. Let

Town of Renfrew and Sullivan finally reach settlement STEVE NEWMAN

steve.newman@metroland.com

The soap opera, if you wish, is over.

Monday night, Renfrew council members unanimously voted to support terms of a settlement with Renfrew resident Murray Sullivan.

“I’m glad it’s over. (But) I’m not happy with the way it turned out,” said the 62-year-old Sullivan the next morning.

“I had to stop the bleeding. I didn’t want to pay any more money than I’m paying out,” he said, calling his $66,700 in eventual legal fees an “expensive lesson.”

Sullivan did not attend the Aug. 12 council meeting, but was already privy to the contents of the settlement.

What began promisingly, with an agreement for Renfrew resident Murray Sullivan to buy a 7.2-acre of property from the Town of Renfrew in 2003, never reached that objective, and hence a virtual soap opera unfolded.

A signed and sealed agreement to buy the land never resulted in the sale, after the town refused to pass the bylaw to let the sale happen. That decision apparently happened after the town discovered the property was worth considerably more than the asking price of $80,000.

Since then, the two parties have squared off in court, but to the satisfaction of neither side, especially when a court decision awarded legal costs to Sullivan, but ruled he wasn’t entitled to buy the land.

It appeared the stalemate might continue, as the case went to the On-

tario Court of Appeal, with the Town of Renfrew appealing the decision on awarded legal costs.

Monday night, council passed a motion that featured six major terms of settlement.

According to the settlement, Sullivan waived the awarding of $66,700 in legal costs (that were awarded to him in a January 2010 judgment) and each party agreed to pay its own legal costs without reimbursement from the other party.

Renfrew also stipulated it would abandon, without costs, its appeal to the Ontario Court of Appeal and pay Sullivan the $12,000 deposit received several years ago for the property in concern. The need for payment of any related interest charges was also waived. And finally, Sullivan will remove, at his own expense, the Certificate of Pending Litigation registered against the lands that were the subject of this legal action.

The impetus for the settlement appeared to be two-fold: 1) a presentation before Renfrew council July 19 by Norm Bujold, a Renfrew businessman and friend of Sullivan’s; and 2) Reeve Audrey Green’s desire to make a motion to settle the impasse once and for all.

“I knew they’d do the right thing,” said Bujold of the town’s decision Monday night.

“They just needed a bit of a nudge to get this issue cleaned up, so the property can go back on the market.

“They did the right thing. Now the town has a good piece of property (to

sell and improve the town’s tax base),” “I’m just glad it’s ended. I’m glad we’re all able to added Bujold. end it … I would have hated to have seen the appeal Even though the case is now settled, go through.”

Sullivan says he remains surprised that only once has a councillor approached him to discuss the matter, except in court.

That reference is to former Coun.

Earl Bennett, who visited him once, but didn’t return for further discussion after consulting with staff and Municipal Election 2010 council, says Sullivan.

NOTICE OF NOMINATION FOR OFFICE “I do have respect for Audrey Green Municipal Elections Act, 1996 (s.32) to make that motion and settle it,” he quickly adds.

NOTICE is hereby given to the “I think she saw the injustice of Municipal Electors of the what was going on.

Swimming pool is a big priority, but will it happen?

STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Forty-two recommendations later, Renfrew has a master plan for parks, recreation and culture, whose priorities include, first and foremost, the desire to build a swimming pool.

Consultant Cam Pelot of Clayton, Ont., has overseen the development of the master plan the past 16 months, a process that he and recreation director Kelley Whitman-McKie both called thorough, informative and unbiased, largely because of the variety of input sought from across the community.

Consultant Cam Pelot presents the final version of Renfrew’s recreation master plan to town council.

During Monday night’s council will need more than the expressed willingness of many citizens to pay meeting, Pelot didn’t speak to each of the recommendations. Rather, he pro- slightly higher taxes.

It will require government grants, vided an overview that included several references to the pool and how each said recreation director Whitmanof the five major recommendations McKie. The master plan’s highest priorities would cost the town $50,000 or considinclude the redevelopment of neigherably more.

A pool, if it is realized in the not-too- bourhood parks and the building of a distant future, won’t be an expensive second ice surface. one that leaves taxpayers cringing, Pelot implied.

As the master plan’s executive summary read: “Some residents expressed LOCKWOOD concern about the modest size of the proposed indoor pool; the consultants stated the recommended facility best responds to the needs Doing it right of local residents. (in order, recreational swimming, swim lessons rehab/therapy and fitness), is the most cost-effective option and that there were inadequate demands for aquatic sport training/competition to justify a larger pool.

“A significant number of comments indicated a keen interest on the part of town residents to see the master plan implemented in a timely manner.”

The Admaston-Bromley Public Library met its full quota of 30 youngsters for the TD summer reading camp in mid July.

The theme of Destination Jungle is part of the program being run in libraries across the province. Some libraries run throughout the summer, as in Renfrew. Others, such as Admaston-Bromley’s Douglas facility, presented the program during its July 19 to 23 summer reading camp.

Activities during the weekday mornings of 9 a.m. to noon included games, reading, crafts and the creation of palm leave books with the youngsters’ own drawings and words.

All youngsters were also able to apply a rain-forest leaf to the wall, for each book read, as part of the goal of reading 100 books. There were also eligible prizes for those finishing books and completing one-page book reports.

The grand prize contained a basket containing books, glow worms, stuffed animals and tasty snacks.

But mostly the summer camp, for kids ages four to 10, is about encouraging literacy and reading improvements, says Gouda.

Gouda encourages people to access the library’s website of www. admastonbromleylibrary.com. There they can link to the kids page for work sheets and activities. The website also features the local library’s book listings.

Student staff member Curtis Chafer helps Henry Gale access the computer program, Undersea, Underworld. The four-year-old was among 30 children participating in the July-23 summer reading camp.

TENDER PW20-2010 Pulverizing Mill Street Closing Date Friday, August 20th, 2010 @ 1:00

This is one of the creatures that will be visiting the Calabogie Community Hall Aug. 25 during a Calabogie Public Library fundraiser.

The event will tie in with the summer reading program and its theme: Destination Jungle.

Check out creepy crawlies and reptiles in Calabogie Aug. 25 Calabogie Public Library

Maybe it has been hot, but it has been a grand summer. The rain usually falls at night and stays away on weekends. All in all, nothing to complain about, even if as Canadians we do out of habit.

The library has been a respite from the heat. What do you do when the kids are hot and bored?

Come to the library, of course.

There are lots of toys, crafts and books to keep them happy and amused. It is a favourite spot for grandparents as well, and we share stories about our wee ones’ antics.

Sharon Shalla has been having fun with the children in the TD Summer program. Curious George has almost become the group mascot. She has initiated a Summer Reading Challenge.

When each milestone has been met, they get a sticker and when all books are read, they get a free book. So far Rebecca Loiselle is

leading the pack. All children are welcome to participate even if they are not in the TD Reading Club.

To end our summer of safaris, we will be hosting Waddles’n’Wags. Children will be introduced to a host of animals: creepy crawlies, reptiles, bunnies and more. It is from 2-4 at the Community Hall in Calabogie on Wednesday, Aug. 25.

Admission is $3 for adults and kids 12 and up; kids under 12: $2.

We may have a surprise guest as well.

Bring your cameras!

A former resident of Black Donald would like to buy a copy of The Black Donald Story by Rita Quilty. It is out of print now, so if you can part with one let me know and I will get you in touch.

“There is a temperate zone in the mind, between luxurious indolence and exacting work; and it is to this region, just between laziness and labor, that summer reading belongs.” (Henry Ward Beecher)

Victorian Tea set for Aug. 18

On Wednesday, Aug. 18 the Champlain Trail Museum and Pioneer Village will be holding a Victorian Tea from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on the grounds of the museum, located at 1032 Pembroke St. E. across from the Pembroke Mall.

For $10 guests will enjoy tea and homemade sandwiches, scones and desserts. Children can enjoy the event for $6 each. Guests will also be able to tour the museum and see the new exhibits on display, including the Shell Termarsch exhibit Through the Eye of the Lense, Playing...Through Time and Working Women.

Please call 613-735-0517 in advance to pre-register your group for a tea time. Tea time are 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Walk-up groups are also welcome.

Do you have a news tip?

Call us today at 613-4323655

Eastern bluebirds still nesting around the area The new supplement to the American Ornithologists’ Union checklist of North American birds was published July 27, and it appears Canada has added a new species of wren to its list.

The winter wren was officially split into three species: the Pacific wren, breeding in British Columbia and Alberta from the Rocky Mountains west; the winter wren, breeding throughout the rest of Canada.

In other name changes, the whip-poor-will becomes the eastern whip-poor-will (split from the form breeding in the southwestern United States and Mexico, now called the Mexican whippoor-will), and the Black Scoter (several were seen in the Bonnechere River in 1996) becomes the American scoter (split form the Eurasian form, which is still called the black scoter ).

CHIMNEY SWIFT As the chimney swift’s breeding season comes to an end, families and unmated individuals are gathering in large communal roosts before they migrate en masse to the Amazon Basin for the winter.

Ontario residents are encouraged to help look for roosting chimney swifts on the weekend of Aug. 13 to 15.

If you see any sign of the swifts, please call and let us know where and when you saw the birds. They have been missing from local sites (the fire hall, Queen Elizabeth Public School and the O’Brien Theatre building) for the past three years.

So many good trail choices Hiking in the national capital region and beyond, with author Michael Haynes STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

“I’ve hiked all over North America.”

The words come from Michael Haynes, a former marathon runner who now prefers to hike, and has done so for years while crafting a few books bent on getting hikers out and about.

The author of Hiking Trails of Cape Breton, Trails of Halifax Regional Municipality, and Hiking Trails of Nova Scotia also spent time in Newfoundland last year helping establish a bicycle-route plan for the city of Corner Brook.

And he has worked for numerous national and regional trail organizations, such as Go for Green, the Nova Scotia Trails Federation, and is the director of TransActive Solutions, a company dedicated to improving walkability and bikeability in Canadian communities.

The Ottawa-based author is not a stay-at-home kind of guy. Nor is he trying to be, by hiking here, there and practically everywhere, trying to define everyone’s hiking utopia.

His latest book, released this month by Goose Lane Editions, is Hiking Trails of Ottawa: The National Capital Region and Beyond, isn’t supposed to be the region’s walking bible.

“It attempts to be representative. This isn’t a book for experienced outdoor people, but for people not that experienced,” says Haynes of the 292-page book, whose five- by seven-inch format features numerous maps and colour photographs of paths, wildlife and vistas in western Quebec and eastern Ontario.

With a scale of one to five, he ranks the difficulty of each of 50 trails.

There are 10 in each of the chapters − Ottawa and the Greenbelt; Gatineau Park; beyond Gatineau Park in western Quebec; beyond the Greenbelt in eastern Ontario; and the Frontenac Arch of eastern Ontario.

All are located within

about 100 kilometres of Ottawa.

Author Michael Haynes’ fervent hope is that readers “get out hiking and walking. We live in a sedentary society where the average North American walks 400 metres a day.”

RENFREW-AREA SELECTIONS Three of the trails fall in or near Renfrew County − the K&P Trail of Calabogie; Manitou Mountain, also of Greater Madawaska Township; and Cycloparc PPJ in western Quebec, near Alumette Island.

GPS COORDINATES For all trails, he provides GPS coordinates to trailheads and the cellular phone coverage gaps on each trail. His Trails at a Glance section highlights each route’s length, suggested completion time, permitted uses, entry fee (if any), degree of difficulty, and whether or not pets are permitted.

Haynes is particularly impressed by Manitou Mountain, a trail that opened near Calabogie Peaks Resort in June 2009.

“It’s a lovely trail, it’s an advanced trail,” says Haynes, confessing he dropped another trail from his list to include this one.

“I like Manitou Mountain very much. I give it a very high recommendation.”

“This is most definitely not a hike for beginners,” he writes. His 5 out of 5 rating includes reference to navigation and steep climbs.

“Signage is minimal, the cleared treadway is sometimes virtually indistinguishable from the surrounding forest, and you are far from easy assistance. Map and compass are essential for this route.”

The starting point is Barrett Chute Road, as he takes the reader along the 11.5-kilometre route with cautions, criticisms and compliments.

For example, he writes: “You connect to the main trail with little warning, only the blue flashes on the trees. Turn left and follow this more distinguishable route as it works its way along the slope of

The cover of Hiking Trails of Ottawa: The National Capital Region and Beyond. Two trails in Greater Madawaska Township are among the 50 featured trails, including one that extends as far as Renfrew. the mountain … After 500 m/yd you reach the Manitou Mountain Lookout, perched high above Manitou Lake, overlooking the lower ridge line opposite.

“This is a wonderful view, with almost no evidence of human habitation to be seen. You might notice a painted zigzag pattern on a rock at ground level, or a small First Nation’s totem hanging on a branch.”

Haynes’ cautionary notes come after each trail description. In the case of Manitou Mountain, they are listed as animals, cliffs and poison ivy.

K&P TRAIL Haynes, who ranks Calabogie’s K&P Trail 3 out of 5 in difficulty, walks 13 kilometres, but notes the trail is longer (if continued farther north to Renfrew).

As with his other trail descriptions, he offers plenty of details.

For example, just over five kilometres into the

walk, near Appel Lane, he notes the cultivated fields and first presence of houses near the trail.

“As with all the road crossings, there are metal gates and numerous regulatory and informational signs, usually for snowmobiles. Now the terrain becomes much gentler, fewer softwoods, no more wetlands, and nearly level … There is even a cluster of abandoned farm buildings … At this point several buildings, including some attractive old brick farmhouses, dot the far edge of the fields. The K&P noticeably descends, dropping until it reaches an intersection with the Ashdad Road at 6.5 km (4.l m.) beside several homes.”

In speaking to the Mercury, he calls the K&P Trail “very pretty, very rustic and more suitable for families.”

book is Cycloparc PPJ, which receives a 5 of 5 for distance. It’s a 92-kilometre trail, but he actually takes the hiker out 13 kilometres, before returning on the same route.

He notes facilities include benches, garbage cans, interpretive panels, outhouses and picnic tables. He identifies it as a 92-km trail located entirely within the Pontiac County, with a starting point at Wyman, Que., near Alumette Island.

“This former rail bed,” he writes, “is raised and dry, and usually tree lined.

Markers at each kilometre indicate your progress along a trail that is as straight as the railway could make it over the low, level ground. Although you do spend considerable time passing through forest in the initial 2.5 km, overall this route is very pastoral.”

OTHER TRAILS Just a few of the books other trails profiled are Ottawa’s Mer Bleu and Old Quarry Trail, Gatineau Park’s Herridge Shel-

ter and Lauriault Trail, Western Quebec’s Wakefield to Lac Brown, Frontenac Provincial Park’s Slide Lake Loop, and the Frontenac Arch’s Rock Dunder.

Whatever the trail selected, Haynes says his fervent hope is readers are encouraged to “get out hiking and walking. We live in a society where the average North American walks 400 metres a day.

“It’s very sad. More than 57 per cent of adult people get less than five minutes of exercise each day. Essentially, they are sedentary.”

And there’s little excuse to be like that, insists Haynes.

“One of the great advantages of living in Canada is we have so much of the natural world. We’re blessed and spoiled, and don’t realize how spoiled we are.”

The book is available at bookstores throughout the region.

AGRICULTURE

Investigating the mystery of the canning jars I’m surprised to see stacks of boxes of canning jars in grocery and hardware stores every summer. It looks like there’s a canning frenzy going on. Who is buying the new jars? I’m sure I’ll be hearing from folks who’ll tell me they’ve canned all their life.

You can pick them up at yard sales for peanuts. Used ones are everywhere.

Are women canning one season and then giving it up? It’s a mystery to me.

My wife and I stopped in at a rather large yard sale at a church in Carleton Place a few weeks

MAYNARD VAN DER GALIEN RURAL ROUTES ago. There were boxes and boxes of canning jars. Some were old.

Some were used − maybe used one season. And there were jars that had never been used. They were all priced very low and no one seemed interested in them while we were browsing. I’m sure at the end of the day the jars were there for the taking.

I know making homemade

jams and jellies is still done, but women don’t use the large canning jars for that purpose. And it’s a much different process than canning garden produce.

My wife and I love green beans.

Our extra garden beans go in the freezer. They are just as tasty in the winter months as the fresh ones now. Blanching them for a few minutes does the trick.

There was talk a few years ago to have a home canning food demonstration at our county plowing match. It was thought that such a show might attract young urban women and their families.

Before freezers were around canning was the most popular method of preserving. My mother canned garden produce. That was 50 years ago. They were good!

She was always irked when one or two jars from a batch had to be canned over – on the hot wood stove – because the lid hadn’t sealed tightly.

One obvious advantage of canning is there is practically no storage problem. You can can until your basement pantry is full, whereas your freezer space is definitely limited to what goes in under the lid.

After some thought and probably quizzing young urbanites if they would go to a plowing match on a Saturday afternoon, it was decided to can the canning show idea.

The idea was good if there was interest. The art of canning isn’t handed down from mother to daughter as it used to be. Grocery stores have all the produce we want, every week of the year, at decent prices – fresh and frozen. So why go to all the trouble and expense of canning when the produce can be picked up and eaten the same day?

From page 9 Mayhew axes, created by Elkanah Mayhew of Eganville, were the most common axes used from the 1850s to 1900 for logging and settling purposes in this area, and we have several axe heads on display.

We also have an impressive collection of saws used to clear this land and saws used for logging, such as perforated two-man saws, a Lance tooth two-man drag saw, and numerous buck saws.

The first settlers of Renfrew relied heavily on farming, which meant clearing seemingly impossible land. This was an important task, as farming was a settler’s only means for providing for his family.

Saws were in existence around this time which made for a daunting, but achievable, task of clearing large plots of land.

Around the mid 19th century however, tools were developed to remove these

stumps, and we are fortunate enough to house one of them, a stump puller one of our biggest artifacts, standing about 10 feet tall by 10 feet wide. Many who grew up on farms in the Valley may recognize a lot of the tools that our lower floor houses, from horse carts to brooder stoves from a time where much was done by hand and little mechanically.

Visitors can enjoy looking down upon the fast flowing river to which we owe the development of this town, and also gazing upon genuine pictures of loggers hard at work, at an industry that built this town and gave the Lumber Barons their prestigious title.

The farming and settler equipment is nicely on display for you to come see, and the logging devices seem to be back where they belong, right on the Bonnechere River.

HEALTH RVH hosts session on ethics Health-care professionals face a variety of ethical questions and decisions on a daily basis.

Who has the right to make a life-and-death decision about a patient’s care? How can we be sure the patient understands the risks he or she is facing? Where is the line drawn between family and staff when it comes to making informed choices?

Renfrew Victoria Hospital recently hosted two educational sessions to help provide local healthcare providers with a framework to help answer those questions.

Dr. Robert Butcher was at the hospital on June 9 to talk about the principles of ethical decisionmaking.

Butcher is a consultant who has a PhD in philosophy with a concentration in ethics. He has published academic articles on health and sport ethics and a book on police ethics. For the past 18 years he has provided ethics consulting services to the health, sport, government and business sectors.

During his presentation, Butcher spoke about the ethical situations and challenges faced by health-care workers and how they make decisions with the information available to them.

“He was informative, enlightening, and gave our staff the opportunity to ask questions and bring forward concerns related to patient situations,” says the hospital’s vice-president of patient services, Chris Ferguson.

Other health-care providers from the region were invited to attend the session, and the participants included representatives from St. Francis Memorial Hospital in Barry’s Bay, Renfrew’s Groves Park Lodge, the Community Care Access Centre of Renfrew County and other health care facilities. More than 50 people participated in the session.

Following the open lunch-hour presentation, Butcher met with representatives of the RVH board of governors’ ethics committee and hospital managers for a more indepth discussion of ethical frameworks and the principles of ethical decision-making.

“This gave our board ethics committee an opportunity to discuss their role in the organization and how they can assist staff with ethical decisions,” Ferguson reports.

Butcher currently provides ethics services to some 20 hospitals and health care facilities.

He recently developed an education program on ethics and accreditation for heath care facilities which is being offered nationally by Accreditation Canada.

He is a frequent speaker at workshops and conferences and is well-known for engaging and challenging his audiences to reflect and debate their roles in ethical health care provision.

Week-long vacation bible camp full of energy STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Youngsters again flocked to the annual vacation bible school camp hosted by Renfrew Calvary Pentecostal Church.

The week-long camp wrapped up with a celebratory Saturday (July 17) of games and activities of all sorts and sizes, including mini-putting, fishing, bounce kingdoms and face-painting.

Geared to kids up to Grade 7, the camp’s theme was Above and Beyond, with a focus of overcoming various things in life, from pride and fear to hate, sin and death.

There were youth videos, drama presentations, bible readings, crafts, and plenty of sports or game for the July 12 to 16

camp geared to kids from any church or no church.

“We do it for the kids,” said youth pastor Natalie Campbell.

“We want to give something to empower them to lead successful and meaningful lives.”

This is partly done by putting older youngsters in leadership roles, alongside adult leaders.

“This gives them an opportunity to develop leadership skills,” said Pastor Campbell.

Kids applauded the quality of the camp.

Like Joshua Phillips, 11, who said, “It’s pretty fun. Snacks and sports and mostly everything.”

“It’s cool,” said another participant, six- Make-up artist Jody Plunkett turns Aidan Muldoon, 5, into Spiderman during the year-old Lilah Fraser. vacation bible school camp.
