Beef farmer throws his hat in the ring STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Michael Donohue of Douglas is a farmer first, but perhaps a weatherman second.

“If you’re a farmer,” he says, “you have some longer-term memory of how the weather has been.”

Like this season. It was dry to start, but after a miserable first three weeks for his 65 acres of corn (for his cattle), it started growing like crazy.

Maybe that’s the way it will be for Admaston-Bromley council

positions, too, as Donohue, 46, was one of three people by midAugust to have filed nomination papers to run in the township’s October municipal election.

He’s also only among three running as councillor-candidates, since Coun. Jack Kelly is going after the mayor’s job.

Wherever the political winds blow, Donohue says he holds strong opinions on provincial farming policy, awareness of current events, and the ability to be heard.

The long-standing positive spirit of Gerald Patrick Keough of Renfrew remained prominent until the end.

The father of 11 children, who was called the oldest active pilot in Canada, died last week in the company of several family members at Renfrew Victoria Hospital.

He died, at age 94, of bone cancer about four years after being diagnosed with prostate cancer.

He is also survived by 17 grand-

children and two great-grandchildren.

As a young boy, he was told by his mother not to touch the alcoholic beverages that were his own father’s undoing. And the youngster listened.

He grew up to be a non-drinking, family-oriented, faith-filled, fitness-fervent example to his children, other family members, friends and associates.

To several of his clients in the insurance business, he was known as Honest Gerry.

Werewolf Fever, which was mostly filmed at Odi’s Kingburger in Renfrew in the summer of 2007, has been named the best horror comedy feature of the 2010 Atlanta Horror Film Festival.

A dramatic photo from Werewolf Fever, directed by Brian Singleton of Ottawa, also appears on the opening page of the film festival’s website, www.atlantahorrorfilmfest.com The film showing was Saturday prior to being named the best comedy feature Sunday evening, Aug. 15. It was shown at the O’Brien Theatre this past March.

“I think it’s so exciting,” said Robin Audette of Odi’s Kingburger after learning of the film’s award.

“It’s just so amazing. We never thought people would get to see it outside of town, and then to win a category.”

About 99 per cent of the scenes were shot at Odi’s Kingburger, free of charge and mostly weekend nights from June through September 2007.

Singleton, who attended the Atlanta festival, said Werewolf Fever appeared to receive the best reaction of any film shown that weekend.

“It wasn’t a huge crowd, but it was a good-sized crowd,” he said.

“And everyone there was passionate about films … and passionate to see everyone’s work.”

The fast-paced, funny nature of Werewolf Fever contributed to its popularity, said Singleton.

The plot of Werewolf Fever centres around Donny the delivery boy. En route to the Kingburger, he is attacked by a mysterious creature. When he turns up with his delivery he’s a werewolf who threatens the Kingburger staff, leaving staff members to fend for themselves.

Werewolf Fever may also play at other film festivals this fall, but the number and location of showings have yet to be determined.

Joins Admaston-Bromley election race No rookie From front He’ll stand up for farming and farmers, that’s for sure, despite a still-vivid recollection of driving off to Carleton University, in 1983, and thinking, “My sentence is up.”

After studying four years for a B.A. in communication and working two years in a marketing position with an engineering company, the farm beckoned.

“It surprised me as much as anybody that you can take the boy away from the farm, but you can’t take the farm away from the boy,” says Donohue.

Years later, he’s a beef farmer with 850 head of cattle and holding his own.

However, he knows that’s not the situation for everyone, and that farming continues to hold challenges for all farmers.

In fact, he sees the migration of youth from the area, whether it’s from the farms or other types of homes, and the limited opportunities for youth closer to home.

Having said that, he says there are several reasons he’s running for council.

He’ll seek the position in Ward Four where incumbent Sandra Crozier is not running again.

“At the core of it, I’m concerned with the lack of interest in local politics, how it’s become news that there are so few nominations,” says Donohue.

He suspects a large number of jurisdictions in local municipalities will be acclaimed, including perhaps Ward Four.

Meanwhile, Donohue says issues of concern include:

1) the Species at Risk Act and its potential damage for rural property owners; and 2) what he calls the inequality of provincial funding to municipalities (including the promised-but-still-unrealized farm tax rebates). He says there’s too little consultation by the province and too much of a one-size-fits-all approach to rural Ontario.

A lot of planning policies have been driven by agriculture in western Ontario that are facing encroaching urbanization, which exists to a much lesser degree in Renfrew County, says Donohue.

Experience on the political farming scene also gives Donohue reason to believe he can contribute to council.

Starting in 2002, he was a director of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture’s Renfrew County chapter for about five years. He also sat on the OFA board from 2004 to 2006.

“I think it’s in my DNA to be interested (in politics),” says Donohue, who says his dad, Tom, was very active in provincial and federal politics in the riding of RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke.

Passion and practicality are both important when representing the people, says Donohue.

Don’t presume that society is simply self-sustaining and following a natural order, because it just isn’t so, explains Donohue.

“All the time there are big issues, waste management, fire, roads, infrastructure; they all go back to relationships with the province.

“So it’s incumbent upon us to make sure we get what we’re supposed to be get-

ting.”

As for the Species at Risk Act, he says: “I think property owners are going to be forced to protect that habitat, but I think they need a voice.”

Married to Stephanie since 2006,

Eighteen when he came to Canada from Holland with his family, Dirk Rook hasn’t regretted the move.

Now 76 and retired from a long farming career in Admaston-Bromley and area, he’s more than willing to seek another term in municipal politics.

Active and fitter than when he was farming, he’s 35 pounds lighter and staying around 172, with his passion for biking, kayaking, walking and general desire for being out and about.

Reminded that he’ll be 80 years old when the next fouryear term ends, he doesn’t miss a beat.

“I’ll be 80 if I don’t run, too,” he says buoyantly.

“It’s okay with me,” chimes in his wife. “Gets him out of the house. He does enough work for me.”

Owner of mountain, road and hybrid bikes, he says: “I bicycle more than a little.”

Go back to January 1953 and the Rook family arrived for a first winter that was relatively tame. Tame enough, that is, for the family vehicle to be driven into the bush to cut logs and pulpwood.

By 1954 he married Gertie, whom he met in Holland. They soon started a family that expanded to seven children. Harriet was the first to arrive, in 1955, with Bill, Harold, Gerry, Henry, Keith and Brian to follow. It took a while to estabish farming roots, but Dirk vividly recalls one of his earliest time in Canada when he worked for a Northcote farmer.

Veteran seeks another term From front â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in your blood,â&#x20AC;? he says of farming. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Holland we always farmed with Holstein cows. And the farmer in Northcote had Holsteins, and the minute I walked on the farm I felt at home.â&#x20AC;?

Having farmed about 45 years, Rook says that background helps him as a councillor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dealing with farmers, you know where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming from, and AdmastonBromley is basically farming,â&#x20AC;? explains Rook, whose parents and four of the five boys became farmers.

After 19 years in municipal politics, Rook says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still enjoy it.â&#x20AC;?

He says the biggest lesson learned from farming has been money management, which he says is critical to AdmastonBromley.

Case in point is the turnaround of road-maintenance vehicles, and why the township places funds in reserves each year, to ensure vehicles can be bought when others wear out.

With four snowplows at the township, he says: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been getting 14 years out of one truck, so every three and a half years

Dirk Rook we have to replace one.â&#x20AC;?

Rook says he enjoys his interaction with fellow councillors.

He first ran for municipal office in 1984 in Bromley Township.

He was elected (and acclaimed) for three straight terms, before losing a close race in 1994. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say I took it hard,â&#x20AC;? he recalls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was like a load off my shoulders. I was a full-time farmer and Bromley meetings often lasted until midnight, and I was up at five in the morning. So it was kind of a mixed blessing.â&#x20AC;?

He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run in the following election, but following amal-

Hazelwood running again JOHN CARTER

gamation to create AdmastonBromley, he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;off the farmâ&#x20AC;? and ready to run again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said I have to do something, and I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been sorry,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re part of the community and the community calls you sometimes,â&#x20AC;? says Rook approvingly.

As for this election, Rook says he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see any piercing issues, but suspects money management is going to be vital in the next four years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to manage when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lots of money coming in from government,â&#x20AC;? he explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(But) I see the next term with very little extra money from the provincial or federal government. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all in the same boat. They spent too much. They tried to get people back to work, but that money is spent and we already got a fair share (for such projects as the South McNaughton Road, expansion of the Admaston-Bromley offices, and street repairs to Douglas).â&#x20AC;?

Rook is the only councillor to have filed nomination papers for Ward 1. No one has filed for Wards 2, while Donna Blimkie has just filed as a councillor-candidate in Ward 3.

Citing the desire to see several school projects through to completion, Norm Hazelwood is running to retain his seat on the Renfrew County District School Board.

Hazelwood, who represents McNab-Braeside and Arnprior, has served on the board for two and a half terms and before that was on McNab council for 15 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still enjoy it and there are a few more things Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to do,â&#x20AC;? he says.

With a background in construction supervision and seven years as chairman of the property committee, Hazelwood is the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resident expert on the building and modifying of schools in Petawawa and Deep River.

A lack of provincial funding has forced the board to cut back the size of the proposed 1,000student Petawawa school.

As the project will go out to tender next spring instead of this fall, Hazelwood would like to still be on the board when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s built.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think when it comes to property issues, there will be a lot of challenges facing the board,â&#x20AC;? he said.

He is also the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation committee chairman and is pleased the school districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s busing deficit has been chopped from half a million dollars to less than $70,000 this year.

In two years, he sees the transportation deficit eliminated altogether, thanks to the staggered bells changes and working closely with the Renfrew County Catholic board.

If the boards, as expected this month, support a recommendation to incorporate the transportation system it will be another positive move toward getting rid of the deficit, he said.

Hazelwood is also interested in seeing through several other initiatives he has been involved in.

These include the arrival of all-day kindergarten at McNab and other schools this fall, increasing the number of smart boards in local schools, and continuing to foster strong communication between the board and the schools in his area.

Bluff Point residents oppose street lights JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

Let there not be lights.

Greater Madawaska council has agreed, on a split vote, to approve requests by Bluff Point residents not to force the developer of the proposed Pedley Subdivision to install street lights.

Subdivision project manager Chris Fleming told council many residents already living along Bluff Point don’t want the lighting “and are quite vocal about it.”

Developer Rick Fleming agrees, in the name of promoting harmony between existing and future residents of the area, he added.

Council also received letters from Bluff Point Drive couples − Glenn and Janet Stanley, Rex and Petra Boulton, and Marg and Mike Neudorf – opposing street lights. The Boultons said they would cause “light pollution” and “take away the ambiance of the rural setting.” The Neudorfs said they “enjoy the non-street light environment.” The Stanleys urged council to survey residents in the area, suggesting the majority are opposed to street lights.

Coun. Karin Lehnhardt argued that if council agrees with the residents, it should change its policy of calling for street lights in subdivisions when its consulting engineers recommend it.

As the recommendation for lights in the subdivision of Bluff Point Road was made for safety reasons, “we shouldn’t go back on that,” she said. Such decisions should be based on safety and engineering standards, not “who screams the loudest,” she added.

Coun. John Pratt said council shouldn’t go against the engineer’s recommendation, adding there are ways for the developer to provide non-intrusive lights.

Coun. Don Mercer agreed council should either abide by its rules or change the policy. If the Pedley subdivision is allowed to go ahead without street lights, two subdivisions, Johnston and Madigan, which were told earlier in the year they must have lights be given the option to opt out too, he said. However, he also pointed out that as the regulations give council the final say, it means it does not necessarily have to go along with the consultant’s suggestions. As there isn’t a set policy, let council decide on a case-bycase basis, he said.

Lehnhardt expressed concern that if the lights aren’t provided, future councils will be hearing appeals from residents wanting the township to put in lights.

In the end, the motion to eliminate the lights was approved 3-2, with Mercer, Coun. Tom Ryan and Reeve Peter Emon voting for and Lehnhardt and Pratt against.

Council approved the agreement paving the way for the eight-lot subdivision, which has been in the works since 2006.

Tackling trash

Back to school, safely

D

on’t just send your kids back to school.

Send them safely.

With the start of a new school year looming, Canada’s chief public health officer, Dr. David Butler-Jones, is getting the message out early.

In a recent news release from the Public Health Agency of Canada, ButlerJones tells parents it’s important to teach your child how to get to school safely.

Whether walking, bicycling, riding the school bus or being driven, students of every age must take care.

When walking, keep your distance from vehicles, walk facing traffic, be attentive at driveways, look both ways before crossing a road and cross at an intersection with a traffic light whenever possible.

Butler-Jones says cyclists should always do a pre-school safety check of their bicycle, wear a properly-fitted helmet, learn hand signals and rules of the road, and always walk bikes across intersections or railway crossings.

It is also important to keep a safe distance from approaching school buses, never run after the bus, get seated on the bus as quickly as possible and then, as Butler-Jones describes, “stay calm.”

And, he says, be sure the bus has come to a complete stop before getting off and use the handrail.

He also advises always

crossing in front of the school bus but only after making eye contact with the bus driver.

And, if being driven, the back seat is the safest place for your child to be, he says.

The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police is also sending out a strong back-to-school safety message.

“With summer winding down, motorists will soon be seeing school buses on area roadways, and children walking to school in towns,” say the OPP. They remind the driving public that motorists are required to obey all traffic laws regarding school buses, in particular the School Bus Stopping Law. Vehicles in both directions must stop when a school bus has stopped and its overhead lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended.

This law is designed to protect children who may be getting on or off the bus.

“Motorists should remember that school vehicles are not just found in rural areas,” say the OPP. “Motorists should also be aware that school buses are required by law to stop at all railway crossings.

“Please be cautious as the buses and children return to area roads and get back into the routine of school,” they say.

Got the message? It could save a life.

To the editor: Regarding the area waste sites at Norway Lake and Dacre – these transfer stations were built to handle normal household bagged garbage and recyclables.

When council was in the process of buying these containers, no one paid attention to the fact we have several large trailer parks in the Greater Madawaska area, timeshares and a ski hill with large volumes of garbage to dump.

Not only do you have to load garbage by hand, you have to unload high volumes and carry it into a cage and place it in containers to compact it.

Yes, as a local contractor, to me this is not acceptable and is one of my main election issues.

And, if elected in Greater Madawaska, I will change this to a proper setup.

To the editor: We are compelled to correct and clarify a statement made by ‘the veteran’ Reeve Audrey Green in the Renfrew Mercury of Aug. 19. Reeve Green summed up the departure of George Jackson Toyota from the Town of Renfrew to the neighbouring Township of Horton with, “I’ve learned that this should never happen again … so it’s not an embarrassment to both parties.”

For the record, we are not embarrassed!

Although, the veteran Reeve Green states she is embarrassed by the actions (or inaction) of the town council that obliged us to pursue an alternate option, we do not share in her embarrassment. We stated clearly and repeatedly on numerous occasions that the indifferent attitude of the town council and administration would put into motion events that would ultimately stop our development on Whitton Road.

We are not embarrassed by our past actions and, again, we are not embarrassed by our location in the Township of Horton. The Horton council, planning

committee and administration have worked diligently with us. The result is the timely development of our 15-acre site on Garden of Eden Road that overlooks the Highway 17 and Bruce Street intersection. Horton Township and their ratepayers will have a state of the art automobile dealership, will have gained a good corporate citizen, and will reap many future tax dollars from our presence. There is no embarrassment here!

Finally, we would also like to clarify the veteran Reeve Green’s statement “that this should never happen again.” It would have been more responsible for the veteran Reeve Green to say, that our departure should never have happened “in the first place.”

In summation, we haven’t forgotten about the good ratepayers of the Town of Renfrew … there will be things to come.

Talk about vandalism; this is worse! This damage is irreparable.

Is someone thinking of four-laning it?

We are lucky to have a nature trail through our town; let it flour-

Electronic-waste drop-off for Horton Township and area STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

The township used to pay an Ottawa firm to collect electronic waste from the landfill, but for about a year has participated in a no-cost e-waste program with the Ontario Electronic Stewardship. OES funds the provincial electrical and electronic waste program.

OES is co-sponsoring, with Horton Township, Horton’s very own e-waste collection day this Saturday, Aug. 28.

Under the program, 44 products are eligible for diversion from landfills. These include modems, scanners, electronic typewriters, cordless phones, home stereo systems, desktop computers and televisions.

Drop-off for residents of Horton and surrounding townships this Saturday is 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Eady Road landfill.

“It’s basically awareness to remind people that there’s a program,” said Horton infrastruc-

It looks like a wasteland, but it’s only temporary.

“It’s free of charge and it keeps material out of the

landfill.”

Meanwhile, residents from Horton and the surrounding area can drop off

e-waste at Horton’s landfill site during its normal landfill hours Tuesday (1 to 5:30 p.m.) and Saturday (8 a.m.

to 5:30 p.m.) Starting Nov. 1, those hours become 1 to 4 p.m. Tuesday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.

AdmastonBromley briefs PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

The Ministry of Natural Resources held a Endangered Species Act (ESA) session at Admaston-Bromley council chambers Aug. 11 when Species at Risk biologist with the Pembroke Branch of the MNR Lauren Trute gave information on what species are at risk in Renfrew County. The session was designed mainly for road superintendents and crews who routinely work in the field.

The province’s ESA took effect June 30, 2008 and replaced ESA 1971. This act is binding on everyone – individuals, private business, and provincial and municipal governments. ESA prohibits damaging or destroying habitat of endangered or threatened species; or killing, harming or harassing the species themselves.

“This will affect how road crews do business,” operations committee chair Bob Dick told Admaston-Bromley Township council Aug. 19.

“Species at risk went from 40 to 180,” noted roads superintendent Chris Kunopaski. The meeting drew more than 40 people.

FOUR-SEASON FACILITY The Recreation Committee Wards 3 and 4 received grants from Hydro One and the Ontario Trillium Foundation to attain better lighting at the rink, and to assist in the construction of the new four-season recreation facility by Admaston Public School.

They are still $20,000 short.

However, the Parents Council has agreed to obtain a loan from the Renfrew County and District School Board for the project to be completed.

The recreation committee is working on financial support from local businesses in the surrounding area and ratepayers/residents in the geographic Township of Admaston to reduce the $20,000 required. Council will be increasing its recreation budget by $2,000 for each of the next 10 years if the money is needed.

ANNOUNCEMENT Chantal and Ashley of Tranquility Esthetics wish to announce that after many great years of business, they will be closing their doors effective Oct. 1, 2010. We would like to thank all of our clients for the many years of love and support.

Sincerely, Ashley and Chantal

RENFREW COUNTY DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD

This was Renfrew resident Gerald Patrick Keough, in his 90s and a stillactive pilot last year.

Keough left his mark From front To his children, Gerald Keough was known as a non-complainer, who spoke his mind, embraced his Roman Catholic faith, and never stopped exercising.

In his final days, he was given the option of occupying a quiet room at Hospice Renfrew. But he said no, preferring instead the more active environment of a room shared with another patient.

He was active until his final days. He had renewed his passport last fall, he was planning a trip to Alaska, and he continued to do leg-lifting exercises in his hospital bed.

Life was seldom sedentary for him, says daughter Margaret Pocket of Arnprior.

“It was quite exciting because he kept us on the move,” she says of her dad. A former competitive canoeist, he was an avid paddler, downhill skier, swimmer, walker and pilot who insisted on picking up litter left by others.

For his care of community, he once received a Clean World Award certificate signed by Governor-General Adrienne Clarkson and the Pitch-In Canada president.

As a skier, he helped build the ski hills at the Pinnacle and just outside Dacre.

“He was good and kind,” says daughter Margaret, noting her dad was often the designated driver for friends when they went into Ottawa for social events.

Daughter Leni Keough of Jasper East, Alta., adds: “He was positive and fair and fun.”

He didn’t deviate from his principles either, say family members. For example, he often

visited the mining camps in the Northwest Territories, where Leni worked and where he left a positive impression on crew.

They included one driller who paid him tribute by having a Bible verse tattooed on his back.

His fervour for flying officially started in 1959.

Leni recalls a December 2009 phone call during which he told her how beautiful it was “to be dancing in the sky” that day. A charter member of the Champlain Flying Club near Cobden, he took his final flight in his Citabria two-seater aircraft in March 2010.

His fervour for life also continued despite the death of his wife, Mary (nee Wickham), in 2003.

“We’re sad, but he really did lead a great life,” says Leni.

“He was very fulfilled. When mom died he didn’t shrivel up and die. He sort of gathered up his strength and grabbed life.”

And so it was, in keeping with his wishes, that several attending the Aug. 21 funeral pitched in, using shovels made available, to cover the casket with soil and flowers.

“It feels complete. You take the person you loved so much and put them to rest … It helps with closure,” says Leni. The internment took place at the St. Francis Xavier cemetery after Saturday’s service at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church.

He is survived by many family members. They include his other nine children, Kathleen (Donohue) of Renfrew, Maureen, Mary Brenda and Kevin of Ottawa, Karen of Kingston, Timothy, John and Sheila of Alberta, and Patrick in British Columbia.

Township declines seat on Eganville Arena Committee PETER CLARK

256 Bruce Street, Renfrew, Ontario

RENFREW COUNTY IDOL

peter.clark@metroland.com

A request had been made from Bonnechere Valley Township for an Admaston-Bromley presence on the Eganville Arena Committee.

The local township respectfully declined.

Mayor Briscoe noted, there are Admaston-Bromley Township ratepayers taking part in BV recreation activities, the reason for the four-year agreement the township signed with BV last year.

Admaston-Bromley also contributes to the Township of Whitewater to make its facilities available to residents and ratepayers.

“Our main recreation is Renfrew,” the mayor said.

She added that Admaston-Bromley has had a most successful relationship with the town, with negotiated recreation agreements renewed every four years.

Mayor Briscoe informed council that the Renfrew County Expo 150 June 9-12, 2011 at the Pembroke and Area Airport will include a Renfrew County Idol contest. The contest will bring together winners from Renfrew, Arnprior, Eganville, Pembroke, Petawawa, Barry’s Bay and Deep River.

Each area will have its own idol contest in January with high schools and Royal Canadian Legions hosting competitions.

There are three divisions; youth age 13 and under, youth 14 to 18, and adults 19 and over.

The competition for the two youth divisions will be held in the high schools, Briscoe noted, while the Legion will host the adults.

The Eganville portion of the youth competition will be held at Opeongo High School. Renfrew County Expo 150 will have a booth at this year’s Renfrew Fair.

NATURE Calling all Kids!

Turkey vultures dry their plumage in tree Mary Turcotte had 25 to 30 turkey vultures drying out in a tree on the Turcotte property.

At this time of year when there is a heavy dew, the vultures’ plumage becomes saturated with water and the birds, although able to fly, do so with a great deal of effort.

To dry out their plumage they roost in the sunlight with their wings spread. Sometimes the drying out process can take an hour or more. Once their wings are dry they will take off immediately in search of food.

COMMON NIGHTHAWKS BY THE NUMBER An email from Elaine Smith.

Dear Jim and Ila, Adam and family (Daisy, Peter and Leo) are home here for the weekend and they, Clark and I have just been out on the deck watching a flock of about a hundred nighthawks soaring and dipping around − I guess feeding.

It’s a beautiful sight on a beautiful evening.

Adam tells me they are one of the most threatened species in North America so we were really excited to see them.

All the best, Elaine Smith.

It is exciting and this year we have had more sightings than any year in the past 15. Adam, a doctor of ornithology, has suggested the “booming” we have been hearing with some flocks is very likely immature birds practising their displays.

BALD EAGLES Richard McManus saw two immature bald eagles this past week.

Both had the plumage of immature birds but he noted that one was almost twice as large as the other. He wondered how this could be possible when they appeared to be siblings.

Bald eagle eggs are laid two to four days apart and, in some cases, possibly a week or more apart. Incubation occurs soon after the first egg is laid and lasts 34 to 36 days.

The young birds hatch several days apart and for the first few weeks the young are brooded frequently.

The first born dominates the second bird in competing for food and therefore grows faster.

This difference in size may, in rare cases, result in the death of the second born. Some believe it is Nature’s way of matching the size of the brood with the availability of food.

If there is not enough, only the oldest and strongest will survive.

‘Friday Night Lights’ Presents:

A Night of Music With Praise Band

JIM FERGUSON SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE This occurs in several species; northern harriers and red-tailed hawks have young that may have an age difference of up to two weeks.

BATHE WHERE YOU FIND WATER Marlene Hanneman had an opportunity to observe a red-tailed hawk taking a bath in a puddle of rain water. The bird did not completely immerse itself but did crouch down into the water and splash vigorously. The bath lasted several minutes.

Bathing is a way of keeping the feathers clean and in good condition.

Before bathing birds will often dust themselves. The dust absorbs oil and dirt in the feathers and the water flushes it away. After bathing birds will preen their feathers using the bill to reattach separated barbs and to smooth the feathers in place.

FLYCATCHERS GATHERING Cecily Button saw a flock of about 30 eastern kingbirds as they prepared for the trip south.

When flying insects are still plentiful the flycatchers: warblers, kingbirds, swallows, martins, swifts and wrens begin to feed on the swarms of insects.

They must recover the feathers, fat and muscle they lost during their fall molt. Once they are fully recovered they gather for the trip south.

BONDING BEHAVIOUR Jack Grant set live trap for groundhogs and on more than one occasion a common grackle would enter the trap and get caught. Jack noticed a second bird hanging around in the trees close by and the two birds would call back and forth. When Jack released the trapped bird the two birds, obviously a pair, would fly off together.

Pair bonding can be very strong even after the nesting season is over. The birds may remain a pair for the trip south and return in the spring to nest. The sandhill crane, Canada goose and bald eagle will form a bond that lasts a lifetime.

Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, RR 5, Renfrew, Ontario K7V 3Z8. Phone 613-432-2738 or email jamesh@ nrtco.net.

OUR WORLD Banks accepting Pakistan flood donations Canadians wishing to support the Red Cross flood relief effort in Pakistan can make donations at BMO Bank of Montreal and RBC Royal Bank branches across Canada until mid-September. As well, in order to assist customers who wish to send drafts or fund transfers directly to relatives or other affected individuals or agencies in Pakistan, BMO is waiving fees related to these transactions until Sept. 17. BMO announced last week it is contributing $100,000

to support the Red Cross relief efforts. RBC announced Monday it is also donating $100,000 to the Red Cross to support water purification and sanitation requirements as well as emergency relief efforts for communities affected by the floods in Pakistan. The Canadian government has announced that it will match dollar-for-dollar money donated to registered Canadian charities. The matching funds are for contributions made between Aug, 2 and Sept. 12.

Saturday, Aug. 28 at 11 a.m. at the Bonnechere Museum in Eganville, Clare Dwyer will be guest speaker.

She recently returned from Ireland’s west coast where she studied Irish language, sean-nos dance and lever harp. She has taught dance and harp workshops and lectured in Ireland on the influence of the Irish diaspora on the music, dance and culture of the Valley.

The people of Peru say gracias SISTER PAULINE COULTERMAN Sisters of St. Joseph

Sincere thanks to the many families of Renfrew County and surrounding area, who have supported, and continue to support the Mission of the Sisters of St. Joseph in Chincha Alta, Peru.

In February eight friends accompanied me on my annual visit to Chincha Alta. They were Catherine Mahusky of Renfrew, Bob Coyne of Arnprior, Nancy Burton-Coyne of Arnprior, Yvonne Sklepowicz of Renfrew, Terri-Lynn Mahusky of Renfrew, June Brayshaw of Mattawa, Leanne Brayshaw of Mattawa and Nancy Bailey of Renfrew.

Most of the needy families they visited live in the rural area of the Parish and therefore the streets have not been paved or repaired in any way since the earthquake.

Children play in the dirt streets and dogs roam where they wish. Women throw their wash water on the road to keep the dust down. The visitors were welcomed into the people’s homes as if they were long lost friends or relatives. On their visit they took note of the living conditions of the Peruvian family and in most situations found the house to be inadequate in size and space for the number of people living there. There appeared to be no opportunity for privacy of any nature. Beds and mattresses were scarce and in poor condition.

Often the house was sparsely furnished with no sign of any food. Each time we were overcome with compassion for the family living in these conditions. It was impossible to meet all of their needs but we tried to address their most urgent and immediate one.

Every other day these visitors would take a translator and enough money and go into the market to order beds, mattresses and chairs and then go on to purchase food, pillows, sheets, small pro-

pane stoves, pots and pans, toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, shampoo, and any other needed items.

Then they returned to the convent to make up the necessary packages for each family. It was heartbreaking to see the conditions people are forced to live in, but when they revisited the families with a few basic necessities lots of hugs, kisses and God blesses were showered on them.

The donations to the Sisters of St. Joseph through the Christmas Fundraiser helped over 60 families in one way or another.

Many received beds as there were more than 45 beds, 16 of which were bunk-beds, with their mattresses and pillows and some 48 chairs delivered to these families. Generally each of these deliveries was accompanied with food, hygiene products and other needed supplies.

Over $21,000 was raised for this February project and approximately $25,000 was spent in Chincha for goods purchased and labour provided.

It was amazing to see how far this money went and every penny was greatly appreciated by the Peruvian recipients. The success of the mission was overwhelming and we are very grateful for the support of our friends and community. It is our hope to work towards a February 2011 Mission to Chincha and we look forward to another outpouring of support.

We left a few unfinished projects, which we hope to address in the near future. If you are interested in visiting Peru or helping with a particular need in Chincha Alta, you can contact Sister Pauline at pcoulterman@yahoo.co, or at 200 Willoughby Cres. Apt. #103, Pembroke, Ont., K8A 8A6.

All donations for this Peru Mission are tax deductible, cheques are to be made out to the Sisters of St. Joseph.

A huge thanks to all who have made a difference in the lives of the Peruvian people.

Groups rally for joint fundraising country dance JUDY EWART Seniors Home Support

FUNDRAISER FOR CHEO

Plans are well underway for a second annual joint fundraising dance in aid of two local Community Support Services in Renfrew County.

On Saturday, Sept. 11, Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support Inc. and Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors At Home Program Inc. will join forces once again to host an evening of great country music and dance.

This year’s event will be held at St. John Chrysostom Parish Hall in Arnprior, be-

Marie Brydges is on keyboard with Dennis Harrington and Friends during the Aug. 15 fundraiser for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. The turnout at the Renfrew Armouries was disappointing, but contributions were generous, says Donna Campbell, secretary of the major sponsor, the Renfrew County Cattlemen’s Association. Other sponsors were the Renfrew County Dairy Producers and the county chapter of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. A total of $1,000 was Renfrew’s raised for CHEO. Friday, Aug. 27 - Thurs., Sept. 2 An additional Historic $183, from two Theatre 50-50 draws, and Fri. & Sat. 7 & 9 p.m. 14A left-over food Sun. - Thurs. 7:30 p.m. were donated to the Renfrew Scott Pilgrim and District Food vs. the World Bank. The other Fri. & Sat. 7 & 9 p.m. PG musicians, from Sun. - Thurs. 7:30 p.m. left, are Agnes Matinees Leblanc (hidden), Matt BryScott Pilgrim dges, drummer vs. the World Kenny Conway PG 1:30 p.m. Daily (hidden), Gerry Letang and Har334 Raglan St. S. rington.

ginning at 8 p.m. and featuring three local country groups, Dennis Harrington & Heritage Country, Dani & The Plager Boys and The Brysonnaires.

Throughout the evening spot dances and a silent auction will take place with various items graciously donated by local merchants from both Renfrew and Arnprior.

Admission is only $10 at the door.

A 50-50 draw along with a light lunch will be part of the evening.

The two agencies that are benefitting from this evening provide seniors and in-

dividuals with disabilities various programming to assist them to live independently in their own homes for as long as possible.

At Seniors Home Support we recognize that a senior’s own home is a place of comfort and security, an expression of their personality a place of memories, a reassurance as to their place in the world and becomes a crucial aspect in continuing their quality of life.

Some of the programs that will benefit from this fundraising dance would include transportation to out-of-town medical appointments, frozen meals,

grocery delivery program, home maintenance, intervention and assistance, friendly visiting and telephone security checks.

So mark down Saturday, Sept. 11 down on your calendars and come out and dance the night away in Arnprior while supporting two very worthwhile community organizations.

For more information you can call the Renfrew office at 613-432-7691 or the Arnprior office at 613-623798.

SkiAbility puts Community Living on the water Local Community Living clients enjoyed time on the water through the SkiAbility Ottawa Program in Burnstown Aug. 8.

The group took to the Madawaska River for a day of waterskiing.

The SkiAbility Ottawa Program uses various types of adaptive equipment and teaching techniques to ensure participant success.

The boats are equipped with a ski boom to optimize learning and training.

The participant may choose, depending on ability, sit-skiing, stand-up skiing, wakeboard or barefoot.

SkiAbility Ottawa got its start in 1993 as an ad-hoc program, In 1995, when Water Ski and Wakeboard Canada launched SkiAbility, they joined the national movement and adopted the name SkiAbility Ottawa.

The program provides a safe, fun, successful learning experience for all persons with a disability regardless of their previous watersport experiences.

“Age and disability are not limitations. They merely change the approach to the sport,” SkiAbility notes on its website.

“At SkiAbility Ottawa we believe in adapting the equipment to the skier, not adapting the skier to the equipment,” they add.

STUART REVS IT UP Twelve-year-old Matthew Stuart has been motocross racing for three years, and riding since the age of seven. The Renfrew lad returned home from the Monster Energy pro/ amateur motocross race held at Sandelee Track in Richmond the weekend of Aug. 7-8 with a pair of trophies.

Ice is back – So is hockey Hockey season is upon us with the return of ice to the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

For the Renfrew Timberwolves of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League, that means the start of another training camp.

Incoming coach Cal Smith will oversee his first camp with the Renfrew club which opened with three tryout sessions this week. Wolves hopefuls were out Tuesday and Wednesday, and will be again this evening (Thursday) from 8 to 10 p.m.

Wolves general manager Brent Sylvester has four pre-season games on the docket, including a pair of home games.

Fans can get a sneak preview against the Stittsville Royals on Thursday, Sept. 2 and the Pontiac Juniors Tuesday, Sept. 7 at the MAC. Both are 8 p.m. starts.

The Wolves also have afternoon road games versus Shawville at the Silver Dart Arena in Petawawa this Saturday, Aug. 28, (3:30 p.m.) and again one week later, Sept.

4 (2:30 p.m.) in Stittsville.

The 2010-11 regular season opens Sunday, Sept. 12, right after the fair when the Wolves host the Perth Blue Wings at 7 p.m.

The Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League has made a significant move to jump-start the 2010-11 campaign.

For the first time in the league’s history, all 22 teams will be participating in

PETER CLARK PETER’S PUTTERINGS a showcase event called the EOJHL Fall Classic. It runs Sept. 18 and 19 on the four ice pads at Ottawa’s Bell Sensplex Arena.

Each team in the Metro-Valley Conference will play two teams from the RideauSt. Lawrence loop.

The Wolves will face the Morrisburg Lions Saturday, Sept. 18 at 6 p.m. and then take on the Akwesasne Wolves Sunday, Sept. 19 at 1 p.m. * * * The two active players to own World Series rings with long-time rivals Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees are Johnny Damon of the 2004 Red Sox and 2009 Yankees, and Eric Hinske with the 2007 Red Sox and 2009 Yankees.

Hinske was also a member of the Tampa Bay Rays who lost the 2008 World Series to Philadelphia, and is currently with the potentially playoff-bound Atlanta Braves.

And for this week: Roger Clemens’ Baseball Hall-of-Fame aspirations are plummeting. How many of his seven Cy Young Awards did he win with the Toronto Blue Jays?

This is the case with the RVH hemodialysis program, which operates at three sites to treat chronic kidney disease patients—in Renfrew, at St. Francis Memorial Hospital in Barry’s Bay and at the Pembroke Regional Hospital.

Dr. Nicole Delbrouck is the medical director of the service.

“What makes our program so powerful is the buy-in from family physicians,” she says, referring to Dr. John Matosh and others who attend the units.

“Other family physicians provide emergency or in-hospital care for our patients in a hybrid specialist/general practitioner model that is unique in Canada,” she adds.

Janice Verch-Whittington is the nurse manager who oversees the county-wide program. She and her team members were thrilled earlier this summer when the

program was granted additional annual funding to expand service in Barry’s Bay. The benefits of being able to treat more Barry’s Bay-area patients who require this critical service are two-fold.

“The main thing is it means these patients can receive treatment closer to home,” says Verch-Whittington. “Secondly, it frees up spaces for patients needing to start treatments here at RVH.” The expansion at St. Francis has a significant effect on patients’ quality of life, she adds, highlighting the case of Garry Gutz, who was travelling an hour and a half from his home in Palmer Rapids to RVH for dialysis treatments three times each week.

Verch-Whittington credits his family for playing a big role in pushing the funding approval process along. They contacted government officials, wrote letters and did all they could to show how crucial local service is for patients who need these lifesaving treatments on an ongoing basis.

Gutz reports that the change was well worth the effort he and his family made. He

continues to receive personalized care from a The nephrology health care team is comprised of two nephrologists, specialized team he trusts, without the hassles of travel.

“By the time I’d get home, I was pretty nurses, a dietitian and a social worker.

As part of the program, the hospital manwell dragged right out,” he says, noting that the wear and tear on his vehicle and outlay ages home peritoneal dialysis treatments through clinics and ongoing patient care. for gas were added burdens.

Men’s rec league wraps up 2010 baseball season The Renfrew Men’s Recreational Baseball League has wrapped up its 2010 season.

The season officially ended Tuesday with the game between the Arnprior Aces and the Legends.

That game was completed after the Mercury’s press deadline.

In the semi-final playoff game last week, the Legends defeated the Rebels 10-4.

Brothers Doug and Mike Wales, and Joel Corbin, pitched very well for the youthful Rebels. Tim Gray, Mark Yakaback and Gord Patterson were the big hitters for the Legends who, by virtue of their semi-final win, claimed their second straight Renfrew town baseball championship.

Outfielder Calvin Guest, a youthful member of the Legends for four years, was selected as the 2010 rookie of the year. Jordan MacMillan of the Rebels was named manager of the year and organizer and league treasurer Patterson was named the league executive of the year.

The league final between the league-leading Aces and the Legends took place in Arnprior Tuesday, Aug. 24. Look for details in next week’s Mercury.

RGC’s Reinhart farther back in mid-amateur PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

Dave Bunker proved to be a tough act to follow.

Bunker led wire-to-wire to capture the Canadian mid-amateur golf championship with a four-round, five-under par 279 Aug. 17-20.

The Woodbridge, Ont. golfer capped his run to the title with

a 74 in the tournament’s final round Friday at the Royal Ottawa Golf Club, his only over-par round of the 72-hole event.

Bunker’s day-by-day total of 67-70-68-74 allowed him to lead from start to finish.

His four-stroke victory earned him an exemption into the 2011 RBC Canadian Open in Vancouver.

The field began with 152 play-

ers, and was trimmed to 70th place or better after two rounds.

One of those competitors was Renfrew’s Dwight Reinhart.

A former club professional at the Renfrew Golf Club before regaining his amateur status, Reinhart fired rounds of 71-7674-74 for an 11-over-par 295 total.

Reinhart is the 2010 OVGA match play champion, and the

winner of two CPGA Ottawa zone championships.

More recently, he was the runner-up in the Ottawa Citizen Amateur Golf Championship in late July. Reinhart also won the Renfrew club championship in 2008.

STRONG TURNOUT AT 2010 GUN SHOW The Eganville and District Sportsmen’s Club 16th annual gun show was held at the Eganville arena on the weekend. About 1,500 feet of display space featured more than 60 exhibitors displaying everything from firearms and knives to hunting gear to outdoor clothing. The turnout was strong, surpassing last year’s total weekend attendance on Saturday alone. At left, club members Larry Schwager of Renfrew, at left, and David Welk of Eganville man the club booth at the show. Membership has soared from less than 20 members in its early days to about 200 today.

Fines for failing to submit moose harvest report

Mercury photo by Lucy Hass

Six hunters who received moose tags for the 2009 hunt in the Pembroke and Bancroft areas have been fined $150 each for failing to report the results of their hunt.

The hunters are also ineligible to receive a validation tag in the 2010 draw to hunt for a calf, cow or bull moose in Wildlife Management Units 48, 55A, 55B and 57.

The court heard that successful applicants for moose tags were mailed a package containing a validation tag, the mandatory moose harvest report and a letter

explaining the consequences if the survey was not returned to the Ministry of Natural Resources.

The Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act requires individuals to submit the questionnaire within 14 days following the last day of the hunt.

Special regulations in Wildlife Management Units 48, 55A, 55B and 57 require all moose tag holders to complete reports on the results of their hunt and register their harvest at an authorized check station.

HERITAGE

The importance of local history celebrated at McDougall Mill Museum

1910: Deer visits Horton church AUGUST 25, 1910 SCHOOL REOPENS SEPT. 6: The public schools and Collegiate Institute in Renfrew will re-open on Tuesday, Sept. 6. The Model School will open on Sept. 1. The kindergarten will be discontinued until the new school building is completed which event is expected by January 1. While work is going on at the public school building there will be several temporary arrangements made to provide accommodation. Miss Fraser’s class will be accommodated upstairs in RCI. There will be a class in the fire hall, and two primary classes will run on half time.

STRANGE VISITOR: While the congregation were at prayer in the Horton church on Sunday last, a fine specimen of deer wandered into the building through the open door. The animal looked around, sniffed a few times, then wandered out again. When the church service was over the deer was nowhere to be seen.

AUGUST 22, 1935 APPLES NEW IN RENFREW STORES: In groceries in Renfrew are now sold apples which come from farms in the country roundabout. These were preceded by apples grown in New Zealand which in turn were headed by fruit produced in British Columbia and Oregon. Amount of apples imported by Renfrew grocers is large. The home supply falls far short of the demand here.

SOMETHING NEW AND INTERESTING: On page two of this issue The Mercury begins another useful service for its readers.

There will be found two departments of much merit. “Modern Etiquette” by Roberta Lee and “Lessons In English” by W.L. Gordon are extremely worthwhile and every reader of The Mercury will have pleasure and profit in them.

A total of 11 competitors entered this competition for Betzes Barley.

PHIL WINDLE JR. WINS TROPHY: Phil Windle captured the Jerry Layeaux Trophy and the Junior Club Championship at the Renfrew Golf Club Monday afternoon. Phil topped a field of 17 juniors to win the 36-hole competition with a gross score of 156.

While growing up in Renfrew, my knowledge of the town’s history was limited. It was not until my teenage years when I became interested in history that I made the attempt to learn more about the town I lived in. The truth is, Renfrew is filled with historical buildings and landmarks, but in most cases it is uncommon for locals to play tourist, and actually search for their historical significance. However, I hope that those community members who have shown an interest have had the chance to stop by the McDou-

gall Mill Museum and recognize what an amazing tool it can be when learning about the place we live in. When my peers ask me where I am working for the summer, I am often shocked to find out that many did not even know that Renfrew had a museum. This may be because they were not exposed to it as a child, and simply grew up without noticing that the large mill beside the swinging bridge was actually a tourist attraction.

Though a few class trips, as well as a Girl Guides group, attended the museum for tours, there were not nearly as many

Local history

RENFREW’S HISTORICAL TREASURE

Continued from Page 28 It is not only a great learning experience, but it also gives children outside interests, which are applicable to their education.

The McDougall Mill Museum allows locals to connect with the history of their family, as well as learn some of the significant reasons that Renfrew became a town. Often, visitors leaving the museum will tell the staff they enjoyed themselves

Renfrew’s historic McDougall Mill Museum on the shores of the beautiful Bonnechere River.

Mercury photo by Lucy Hass

and remark at how much they learned.

Whether Renfrew was your birthplace, or a place that you recently moved to, it is always satisfying to understand how your community was built.

Summer is slowly coming to an end, and the staff here at the McDougall Mill Museum thanks all the visitors for a successful season.

The closing date is Sept. 5, so there is still time left to come and take advantage of what the museum has to offer. We hope to see you soon!

AGRICULTURE

The perfect green manure crop

killing frost. My dad thought he’d have a dandy oat crop the following year.

The oat crop was tall and it all went down after a heavy rain. It was a tangled mess with lots of straw and it was hard to binder.

I grew buckwheat in the 1980s on a hard field of clay that wouldn’t produce a decent crop of hay. I summerfallowed the field working in manure and then in late July sowed it in buckwheat. Early in September, before the seeds ripen, we plowed it down.

Bumper crops of hay grew for years.

Despite the common name and the grain-like use of the crop, buckwheat is not a cereal or a grass. Rather, it is a fruit or from the nut family.

Buckwheat plants are fast growing, producing seeds in about six weeks and can grow to 30 inches tall.

It was a pleasant surprise driving to Cobden last week and seeing 50-60

MAYNARD VAN DER GALIEN RURAL ROUTES If you want an organic weed-free garden that grows bumper crops of potatoes, put half the garden in buckwheat and plow it down before frost. Rotate your garden growing buckwheat in one half, or do a third each year.

Cultivation of buckwheat declined sharply after the 1960s due to the use of nitrogen fertilizer.

My earliest memory of growing buckwheat was in the mid 1960s on our farm in Eganville.

My father wanted to add organic matter to the sandy soil. He put a chunk of land in buckwheat. It grew thick and tall and I remember plowing it down at the end of August, before a

In recent years, with the high cost of fertilizer and a move to more organic grown crops, I have been disappointed to see hardly any buckwheat grown.

Occasionally, I’ll see a small field of the white flowering plants in my travels, but very little. It is an easy and inexpensive crop to grow and will grow on light soil.

Throughout history, buckwheat has been used as a food for humans, feed for livestock, and a honey of a crop for bees. But what I like most about buckwheat is how it smothers out weeds and builds up the soil. It’s a perfect smother and green manure plow-down crop.

acres of buckwheat growing across from the Champlain Air Field. The plants are tall and all flowering –white flowers.

My bet is it will be plowed down or worked into the ground before frost. It’s a perfect old-fashioned way of rejuvenating the soil.

If it isn’t being harvested for the seed, you’ll see a bumper crop growing on that sandy land next year.

And I’m sure it won’t be oats!

Thank You During this summer of 2010 a family member very dear to us took ill. These are the times when we are most vulnerable to so many people we have never known. We seek knowledge and understanding, care and compassion. And at such times we can be lifted with one word...broken by another.

We reached out and received the best.

To the Renfrew Victoria Hospital’s ER nurses, doctors and ambulance drivers, we thank you for your care.

To the Champlain Community Care and Access Centre’s nurse Cathy Crozier, our heartfelt thanks.

To the Ottawa Hospital, General Campus, ER and Oncology Floor’s ICU Critical Care Wing doctors, nurses and volunteers, we thank you for your open, knowledgeable and compassionate care you gave Gilles during what would be his last days with us.

On July 19, 2010 Gilles Joseph Chretien went home to be reunited with Helen Urquhart, his wife and one true love. He is now enjoying the peace and rest he so greatly deserves. His family and close friends share much joy in knowing this but the sadness that came with the loss of one so dearly loved was, and is still, deep. For all of you who shared this loss with us, offering comfort and support, we thank you. With your flowers, cards, donations, as well as words, prayers and thoughts you helped us bear the grief of our loss and celebrate the joy that Gilles has found.

To Ambie, Mary, Meghan and Julie Burchat, as well as Julie Fawcett for the wonderful meal you prepared for us. A difficult task at a difficult time done to perfection.

Our deepest thanks.

Kirk Anderson and staff of Anderson’s Funeral Home.

With a perfect balance of levity and decorum you carried us through this difficult time with genuine grace, compassion and understanding. We are forever grateful.

A thank you to the wonderful choir and altar servers of Our Lady of Fatima church. A thank you as well to the C.W.L. for the wonderful luncheon laid out for us afterwards.

Father P. B. McNamara, Father Sirosky, Father P.J. Blake and Father Lacey. Your direction, prayers and kind words were a comfort and calm in the storm.

Thank you.

Please remember that we have not yet fully recovered from the shock and sorrow of this past month or so and therefore may have spelled someone’s name wrong or forgot to thank someone entirely. We take this opportunity now to apologize deeply.

Again, our deepest thanks, The children of Gilles Joseph Chretien CL21139

AN OLD FLYER DEPARTS EARTH ONE LAST TIME… Gerald Patrick Keough, the oldest active pilot in Canada, died August 18, 2010, in Renfrew, Ontario at the age of 94.

Gerry was born in Montreal in 1916, to Thomas Patrick Keough and Margaret Bridget Madigan. He was the seventh of eight siblings and came from a long line of proud Irishmen.

He was married in 1944 to Mary Lillian Wickham of Westmount, Quebec. After experimenting with life in the west, the family moved back to Ontario and settled in Renfrew in 1951. Gerry purchased a general insurance business which thrived over the next 40 years. He was known as “honest Gerry” by his clients who respected him for his wise guidance in making important life decisions.

Gerry enjoyed a variety of recreational pleasures.

He made a point of walking several times a day wherever he travelled as well as around the town of Renfrew and along the Trans Canada Trail, clocking many miles each day. He identified this pastime as one of the key reasons that he enjoyed good health and a long life. Until shortly before his death, when the weather was hot he reveled in his solitary swims in the surrounding rivers and lakes. Canoeing was another favourite summer sport. During the winter, cross-country and downhill skiing were activities that he loved and shared with his children.

More than anything else, Gerry loved to fly. He obtained his private pilot’s license in 1959. He became a charter member of the Champlain Flying Club which was started in 1964 on a grass strip near Cobden. In 1996, Gerry was inducted into the “United Flying Octogenarians” (the UFOs!), an international flying club that required members to be a minimum of 80 years of age and still actively flying the skies solo. As time inexorably whittled away at his competition for the title, there came a day when Gerry found himself, quite literally, the last man standing, and claimed the title of Oldest Active Pilot in Canada. He closed out his years flying in his little Citabria, call sign GPK, whenever he felt like it, whenever the air was smooth and the skies were blue, taking his final flight in March, 2010.

Gerry, though strongly opinionated in certain areas (!), was very positive, even in the closing months and days of his life. He had a ready smile and cheerful greeting for all those he encountered and showed genuine interest in their activities and families. He never complained. Gerry was a dedicated, caring, inspirational man, with a good sense of humour that he combined with hope and compassion. He departed this world peacefully, secure in his deeprooted Catholic faith (his “guide to right living” and “his key to heaven”), and confident that he was going somewhere better.

He was predeceased by his wife Mary in 2003 and his siblings Mary, Rose, Frank, Loretta, Edgar, Agnes and Emmett. Gerry is survived by his children: Patrick (Rosemarie), Margaret (Anthony Pocket), Maureen (Paul Bernier), Karen, Kathleen (Dan Donohue), Sheila, Timothy (Gabrielle), Mary Brenda (Scott Maclean), Kevin (Agnieszka), Leni (John Decker) and John, and by seventeen grandchildren, two great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. In the words of one granddaughter, he had “an awesome, huge, closely-knit family… a pretty incredible bunch!” He claimed he couldn’t do without each one. Family gatherings were always a great joy; with the hospital staff’s assistance, he even willed himself to attend his grandson’s wedding on July 24.

The family would like to express its gratitude to Dr. Rob Duggan for the exemplary level of care provided to Gerry as well as to the nursing staff of the 3rd floor, Long-Term Care at Renfrew Victoria Hospital.

Family and friends payed their respects on Friday, August 20, from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. at the Goulet Funeral Home, 310 Argyle Street South, Renfrew. A funeral mass was held on Saturday, August 21, 2010 at 10 a.m. at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church, Renfrew, followed by internment at St. Francis Xavier Cemetery. A reception followed in the hall of Our Lady of Fatima Church. In lieu of flowers, donations to The Renfrew Victoria Hospital Foundation, 3rd floor, would be appreciated (Renfrew Victoria Hospital Foundation, 499 Raglan Street North, Renfrew, Ontario K7V 1P6).

In our hearts forever.

Wake up, you sleepyheads

Youth offered new skills through the International Institute for Restorative Practices.

Participants include staff from the two school boards and the two social agencies that are hosting the event, as well as representatives of Columbus House, COPKA and the Eastern Ontario Youth Justice Agency.

“It’s the community of Renfrew County wanting the best for its citizens,” says Cheryl Spotswood, a teacher with the Catholic school board who has been trained in restorative practices and is on the committee to organize the countywide coalition.

“I think it’s wonderful that collectively we’re coming together to move beyond the punitive mode and to help our youth learn and develop real relationships,” Spotswood says.

“It helps kids own their own actions.

They see the fall-out, the ripple effect of what their actions mean for others.”

In restorative justice, someone who has done wrong is given the opportunity to meet with the person who has been harmed. Together, they discuss what happened, what it meant to them, and how they can make things right and move on.

Restorative practices take the concept to a broader level, providing forums where people can build a community and understand each other to avoid doing harm and encourage doing good.

“In making it right, you feel better about yourself,” adds Groskleg. “Youth deserve the right to make it right.”

Wake up, you sleepyheads, because this is a reminder that St. Joseph’s Catholic High School will be staring at a different time!

The warning bell will now ring at 8:10 a.m. and homeroom will start at 8:15 a.m., followed by period one and two.

At 10:55 to 11:45 a.m., we will have our lunch break and then period three and four, ending at 2:25 p.m.

For the Grade 9 to 12 students, homeroom will only take place for the first two week of school and starting Monday, Sept. 20, students will report to their first period class for attendance.

Also, on Wednesday, Sept. 1 at 5 p.m., St. Joseph’s High School will hold its annual orientation barbecue. This barbecue is for Grade 8 and 9 students.

The students and parents experience a tour of the school and the Grade 8 students are to meet their teachers.

The Grade 9 students get their schedules listing the classes they will have for this year, and also meet their teachers.

This barbecue is a good way to introduce the students, not only to the school, but to other classmates that they have not yet met.

This is also a great way for students to free themselves of any nerves of starting a new school, and to look forward to this new stage in their lives.

Members of Renfrew County’s educational and social service communities have joined together to develop new skills to support youth.

From Aug. 23 to 26 the focus was on restorative practices and restorative justice, which are a modern approach to the ancient practices of helping people face the real consequences of their actions and build relationships with the people around them.

“It’s not doing something to somebody or doing something for somebody, it’s doing something with somebody,” says Ron Groskleg, resource supervisor for Family and Children’s Services of Renfrew County.

“It’s a positive approach to help youth learn from their experiences,” he adds.

“It can be done as a justice measure after the fact, or it can be done as a talking circle to build a culture of openness and caring.”

Family and Children’s Services has joined with the Renfrew County District School Board, the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board, and the Phoenix Centre for Children and Families to provide four full days of training in restorative practices.

As many as 60 teachers and social workers were scheduled to attend the introductory overview on the first day. About 30 were to attend the indepth training for the following three days, led by an educator from Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board who has been educated
