ELECTION DEADLINE Local returning officers are cautioning would-be municipal council and school board candidates that both the nomination deadline date and time have been moved up this year. Traditionally, local elections have been held in early November, with the nomination deadline being in late September. With the municipal election moved up to Oct. 25 this time, the deadline to file papers to run as a candidate is Friday, Sept. 10. And instead of 5 p.m., as in the past, the new time deadline is 2 p.m. that day.

A downtown businessman and potential Renfrew councillor died of a heart attack Thursday evening. Jeff Dick of J&J’s Chocolate Sensations was at home when heart disease claimed another member of his family tree. Several relatives from his mother Elaine Wilson’s side of the family have also succumbed to heart attacks, including Uncle Norman, whom he succeeded at many Santa Claus appearances in the community. Uncle Norman had also served on town council and was a longtime employee of The Renfrew Mercury. The 48-year-old Dick, who took a happy-go-lucky approach to life, had his nomination papers planned to run for Renfrew town council. He told close friend Bob Dillabough on the morning of Aug. 26, the day he died. “The community’s going to be a lot emptier place without him,” said Dillabough. “He was a very charitable individual. He was all about enjoying life. I’ve never met someone who enjoyed life like him. He was a prince of a gentleman.” See HEART, Page 5

Second councillor to enter Horton race for mayor

LLOYD EADY CONSTRUCTION 256 Bruce Street, Renfrew, Ontario

SPECIALIZING IN ROOFING 38 Years Experience Commercial & Residential

STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

It will be a real mayor’s race, after all, in Horton Township. Rod Ballantyne was the first to file his nomination papers, but councillor Dave Bennett and Don Eady entered the race last week. After 10 years on council, Eady says he’s ready to tackle the job, especially after selling his Renfrew business, Draperies Plus. “After being in thousands of homes in the Valley, you learn one major thing about being in business: It’s about the people. Horton (council) is also about the people,” says Eady. “It’s pretty simple. If it’s not about the people, we shouldn’t be there.” Now 64, Eady was first elected to Horton council in 2000. He was re-elected twice and is now seeking a fourth term of office. Making the decision to run for mayor wasn’t cut and dry, says Eady. He felt he had to lighten his workload, which he did by selling his Renfrew business, that assumes new ownership this month. And he wanted a clean bill of health from his doctor after beating lung cancer. He had a small cancerous tumour removed in February 2008. “All these incidents in your life, losing my wife (Lisa) in 2006 and having a little cancer, make you stronger in the long term,” insists Eady. Asked how big a supporter his wife was, he jestfully replies: “I’m not even sure she voted for me.” Seriously, though, he says his family is behind his decision to run for mayor. Those immediate family members are his children, Sherri-Ann of Ottawa, and Jennifer and Christopher of Brockville. Issues facing Horton council include an expansion of recreational and other activities at the outdoor rink, waste management, the township’s debt load and communication, says Eady.

Don Eady The rink now has an outdoor roof, which is supposed to increase the window of winter activity for hockey, skating and other recreational events. However, Eady says he’d like to see it turned into a yearround facility. “Right now we’ve invested a lot of money, and we’re basically using it 12 to 13 weeks per year,” he says. Eady says a cement surface would increase the opportunity to hold auction sales, roller hockey, weddings and other social events, and therefore become an economic generator for Horton. The facility could also be better used, says Eady, if area sports teams rented the facility during the winter. Regarding waste management, Eady says work continues to expand the landfill by 39,000 cubic metres. This should increase its lifespan by an estimated 15 years.

Plenty of Renfrew election issues, says councillor-candidate Cole steve.newman@metroland.com

Important issues facing the Town of Renfrew after the next municipal election are many, says Coun. Gail Cole, who is seeking a thid straight term on council. Known as a quiet-spoken councillor who will stand alone on an issue if necessary, she says she’s eager to sit for another term on council while bringing with her energy, a desire to represent the people with her head and heart, and more than 30 years experience working for the federal government. She worked just less than 34 years for the federal government, much of that time as chief of a section of technical specialists involved in providing information for the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics. In this work, she was involved in budgeting, staffing, training, planning and evaluation. Financing, meanwhile, will remain at the heart of what Cole says are the most important issues facing the town – the recreation master plan, doctor recruitment, continued encouragement of economic growth, continued renewal of the streets and sidewalks, and holding the line on debt. But that’s not all, she says. Cole says she’d like to see progress toward a skateboard facility for youth, a drop-in centre for seniors, a solution to the traffic congestion at the Tim Hortons at Froats and O’Brien roads, and answers to vandalism (including increased police presence during later hours). The challenge with the master recreation plan, she says, is to move forward “to plan, fundraise, seek grants and hopefully streamline operations” so such major items as a pool and a second ice pad are realized. “This will only be possible,” she says of the pool and pad, “if we receive

Gail Cole substantial grants. We need to build a design that the rink and pool people and the general public are ready to support.” On the issue of economic development, she has some definite opinions the town’s dealings with George Jackson Toyota. Renfrew and the local business unsuccessfully sought to negotiate the opening of a larger site, despite the town’s 50 per cent reduction of a sizable security deposit to develop the site. The town did more to accommodate Toyota, including staff work over Christmas holidays to meet some of Toyota’s expectations, notes Cole. She says a lot of people “don’t understand the issue, and some do. Some take the time, but some think at all costs Toyota should have stayed here (instead of moving to Horton). “We have certain standards, and it seems if we change them … and wipe out requirements for some people and

not others. How much credibility is there in that?” So, what are the lessons learned from the Toyota incident? As difficult as it was to accommodate Toyota’s desires, Cole says there could have been a stronger effort by the town to continue negotiations. As for Toyota owners Dave and Warren La Rocques’ offer of $500 toward the campaign of each council-candidate currently not on council, she calls the move insulting. She says it also calls into question whether any candidates elected and supported by the La Rocques will have certain business decisions called into question. At the same time, she says: “That’s politics and they have a right to do so.” At age 70, Cole says she’s keen to remain involved in municipal politics. Being on council, she says, keeps her alert and interested in the town. “I’ve been able to help some people … When I first started, no one called me, but gradually people started calling, and it makes you feel good they would trust you with their problems and with decisions (affecting) what happens within the town.” Before joining council in 2003, she worked on the waste management committee for several years. She helped create the town’s new waste management plan adopted in 2004. But more needs to be done, she says. For example, Cole likes the grinding program at Horton Township and wonders why Renfrew wouldn’t adopt the same to reduce the lifespan of the landfill site. Cole also remains active with the local Presbyterian church, the Bonnechere Manor auxiliary and the Renfrew Quilters Guild. She and husband Scotty have two adult-age children and four grandchildren.

COMMUNICATION Meanwhile, Eady says Horton Township needs to do a much better job with communication, like communicating to residents the importance of certain public meetings, or disseminating certain information to the media. Consideration also needs to be done to improve Horton’s committee structure, says Eady. Major committees currently serve as virtually rubberstamps of decisions because the committees contain three of five council members. If two sat on each committee, there would be more meaningful discussion at council meetings, says Eady.

Council is also studying the possibility of using biogradeable bags, to optimize landfill space, while Eady says efforts continue by councillors and staff to promote recycling. Since the inception of curb-side garbage pickup in the early 2000s, Eady says recycling in the township has tripled. Eady notes township residents are better served because of the new rink roof and new dressing rooms, infrastructure improvements on Garden of Eden and Goshen roads, and the expanded municipal office. But he says these same projects have also created a lot of debt that must be appropriately handled. “It’s one of my strong points. It’s been proven that I have a lot of money-management skills,” says Eady. In running for mayor, Eady says he also brings good people skills and the belief that a know-it-all attitude helps no one. “I have no bones to pick with anyone. I’m basically running because I felt I’m well qualified to do the job. I also have the time to do the job. And I know Horton extremely well.” “The most important thing for anybody who is on council is you should never go there thinking you know everything,” explains Eady. “But if you don’t know, know where to go to get the right advice,” he adds. For example, after residents complained about suspiciously outrageous Hydro One bills, the township brought in Hydro One officials to help rectify the problem.

Tom Anderson one.” He says a little more about his desire for a change in council leadership. “Most of the change (I’d like to see in) leadership would be in leadership style and in dealing with internal issues.” At the same time, he’s aware council has taken heat about the long-standing and recentlyresolved court case between resident Murray Sullivan and town council. Council was criticized for dragging its feet on Sullivan’s bid to buy seven acres on O’Brien Road. But Anderson says the town wasn’t able to sell the land because the town didn’t follow certain terms of the municipal act. “By missing a couple of steps in the process of doing that sale (about seven years ago), we had no choice but to not do the sale,” said Anderson. “It was almost a comedy of errors.” The biggest lesson from the Sullivan case was learned quickly, as council rewrote its landsale policy in 2004 for future land sales, said Anderson. Lessons learned from Toyota’s unsuccessful bid to move, and expand, its operations to the east end of the O’Brien Road corridor might be different. Anderson says council made many accommodations for George Jackson Toyota, before the business chose to set up new roots in Horton. “My only regret is probably that communication wasn’t quite right (with the town about what council was doing),” said Anderson. Ironically, added Anderson, Dave La Rocque “says he doesn’t cry over spilt milk but he comes out with this ($500) support for people running” for council. Anderson says it cost money to run election campaigns, but says he will not accept (and has not accepted) campaign contributions from anyone. “I walk every street in town to drop off flyers,” says Anderson. “It gives me an opportunity to talk to more people.” Meanwhile, he says a big challenge facing the next council is

Tom Anderson never hesitated about running for a fourth term on Renfrew council. “No, none at all,” says Anderson, 54, of the chance to be one of the five councillors. “I love it, I enjoy it and I am somewhat humbled and honoured by (the position).” First elected to Renfrew town council in 1997, Anderson didn’t run the following term while working in Ottawa. But he has been back on council for two more terms and looking for another. Each current counicllor has filed his or her nomination papers, including Kate Windle, who wants to be reeve, and Bill Ringrose, who wants to be mayor. A driving reason to run again, says Anderson, is his faith that the community believes he’s doing something right. He sits on the planning advisory, finance, and human resources, and development and works committees, and chairs development and works. He and Reeve Audrey Green also sit on the ad hoc heritage committee expected to bring recommendations to council in September. “It’s going to be a pretty highlevel report,” says Anderson. “It’s a fairly large issue. There are a lot of things we can do or not do, depending on the direction taken.” He’s well aware of the main street’s historical and scenic presence, and the challenges that creates. This year, council removed − at owner Ernest Millar’s request − the heritage designation for Handford Block. Last year, consideration for tearing down the Handford Block and replacing it with a pharmacy was prevented by the heritage designation. At one point, Anderson considered running for mayor. But he and Ringrose decided it made sense for only one of them to run, given Mayor Sandi Heins was expected to be in the race. It’s time for a leadership change, but council definitely needs experience, says Anderson. “I can see the value in some corporate memory,” he explains. “Anyone sitting on council will sit on most committees, as a member you’re forced to become a quasi-expert, from finance to development to construction to recreation to library, and all the relevant acts that dictate what you can and can’t do.” He has less to say about the decision by George Jackson Toyota owners Dave and Warren La Rocque to offer $500 to each councillor-candidate not now on council. “It’s hard to answer politically correctly,” said Anderson. “I’m going to pass on that

Heart attack claims life Continued from front Dillabough and Dick also attended many Grey Cups together, including ones sometimes featuring Dillabough’s favourite team, the Calgary Stampeders, and Dick’s Hamilton Tiger-Cats. In fact, Dillabough’s son Garry, who was born the same day (April 9) as Jeff, were both Ti-Cat fans. Dillabough also recalls the year he Jeff Dick attended the Grey Cup, without his buddy, but brought him along in spirit with a Darth Vader cutout that featured Jeff ’s face. Another close friend was Mike Coulas, who says he’ll miss his friend’s smile and wit. Coulas recalls fondly the annual long-May weekend tradition of organizing, with his friend, a Fortington Street neighbourhood barbecue. “Neighbours would gather at my home and we’d get to know anyone who had come or gone from the neighbourhood.” Jeff just wasn’t one to wax negatively, says Coulas. Despite challenges that included wife Judy’s recent battle with cancer, “very seldom did he talk negatively about stuff,” said Coulas. Kathy Foote won’t soon forget how Jeff supported her daughter Jessica’s recent art show at J&J’s Chocolate Sensations. She not only sold numerous pieces of her art, but raised $250 from the sale of one of her works for crisis victims, as the store owner looked on approvingly during the August show. “Whenever you were around him, you felt good,” said Foote. “I used to go in and buy one chocolate just to talk to him.” Diana Wakely, a volunteer with the Renfrew Business Improvement Area, was shocked to hear of his death. “What a loss to the town … he was such a bright light on the main street,” she said. “It’s a real shock,” said Dick’s aunt, Melba Wilson. “Jeff always had a smile on his face. And he’d do anything for you. He was just a super person.” He is survived by many family members, including wife Judy and children Maurissa and Sara, sister Judy Dubeau, and many nieces and nephews. He is pre-deceased by brother Gary and parents Garnet and Elaine Dick. The wake took place Sunday at McPhail & Perkins Funeral Home. The funeral service was held the next day (Aug. 30) at Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church.

A healthy start

The Renfrew Mercury welcomes letters to the editor.

ith the arrival of September, students and parents have found the back-to-school items needed for the new school year. Each year, the school list seems to evolve. Kids want the latest and greatest school accessory, from trendy pencil cases to laptop computers and iPods. This school year, why not think outside of the box and inside of the lunch box? Food banks are generally busy around the holidays. However, the need is high for school-related snacks throughout the nonsummer months. Healthy food choices are a top priority, such as fruit cups, granola bars and other easy-to-pack items. The food bank also welcomes less-common items, such as shampoo and soap, toothpaste and toothbrushes of all sizes, and toilet paper. It’s no secret that kids who have good, healthy meals can perform better in school. There are enough distractions in the classroom, whether it’s someone showing off the newest technology or the need to talk about the newest Twilight movie. Kids don’t need hunger to be a reason their attention is taken away from their studies. Help give kids in your community the boost they need by donating whatever you can. From school snacks to healthy items for each meal of the day, every bit helps. Watch for drop-off locations at local grocery stores and businesses, or take donations directly to the food bank.

LETTER

A ‘political mess’ in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke To the editor: My name is Adam Lesco and I am a recent graduate of Nipissing University’s political science department. Upon returning home to Laurentian Valley, I was disappointed to observe the political mess in our riding of RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke. In order to gain experience in my field and to contribute to the improvement of my home riding, I sought out the potential federal candidates hoping to find one I could identify with. During my analyses of the candidates, as well as our current MP, these are my conclusions: Christine Tabbert, the federal Liberal party candidate appears to be nothing more than a “parachute candidate” who was brought in by the Liberal party as a prospective challenger to MP Cheryl Gallant. However, while touting herself as a local farm girl, she has chosen to spend her entire adult life in Toronto showing no real commitment to the her constituency. Our MP Mrs. Cheryl Gallant, current-

ly residing silently on the backbenches, went to Ottawa with the best intentions of providing the Valley with much needed leadership. She has unfortunately stumbled due to countless political gaffes and has lost her credibility within the Conservative ranks. Having campaigned on promises of scrapping Bill C-61 (gun registry) and not raising taxes, she appeared to resonate well with the rural voters in our constituency. The result? A ridiculous tax increase in the form of the HST, a bill she supported on the floor and not a single change to Bill C-68. As a student who has recently graduated with a pile of debt, the HST, which is costing the average consumer and extra $900 per year, is definitely a breaking point in my patience for the Conservatives. Our MP has also vigorously trumpeted her support for our troops at her political convenience. Well, tell us Cheryl, where is your voice within your government when it plans to make cuts to the Department of Veterans

Mercury Mercur y The Renfrew

Affairs? Meanwhile, the ombudsman for Veteran’s Affairs, Pat Stogran, has raised legitimate concerns about the government’s bloated bureaucracy failing to take proper care of our heroes. Ultimately, there is a disturbing trend occurring in Canadian politics. Federal MPs are no longer able to vote in reflection of the desires of the people who elected them. They are whipped to vote a certain way based on their party’s attempts at political opportunism. This has fundamentally undermined the democratic political process. Having studied minority government thoroughly, I came to realize that some of the most democratic and some of the most powerful people in the House of Commons are independent MPs. This is what intrigued to explore Hector Clouthier’s foray back into federal politics. Minority governments require as many votes as they can muster in order to pass legislation, resulting in huge

power for an independent MP who could make or break any bill. An independent member for the Valley would also provide a robust voice for the diverse needs of our constituents as he or she need not have their statements approved by a party. Upon visiting Mr. Clouthier’s website, I was able to find a candidate that was actually talking about crucial issues that were essentially undermining our prosperity. Following an exchange of e-mails between Mr. Clouthier and myself, he invited me to come along on his campaign, and invitation I happily accepted. I look forward to contributing to his campaign and helping to bring real leadership back to this riding. Hopefully, the people will agree and vote to bring vital change to Ottawa and put the Valley back on the map.

Municipality must meet all waste demands To the editor: I would like to respond to the letter submitted by Mr. Easton in the Aug. 26 edition of your paper. The municipality held three public meetings in 2008 to discuss the transfer station design and reviewed the feedback from the meetings. Our staff met with Mr. Easton on two separate occasions since then to review the operation of the waste transfer sites. The latest meeting was held in July and a plan was agreed upon to modify the compactor to assist him in his operations. At that time it was thought Mr. Easton had pronounced himself satisfied with the modfication. The municipality has worked with Mr. Easton in the past to ensure he has had timely access to the sites at nonstaffed times. The municipality was willing to ensure he had the opportunity to process his waste quickly to ensure he did not have to worry about storing it until the sites were opened at their regular hours. It was recognized storing the waste for a few days was not beneficial

to him or to the public. I met with the campground owners early in May and we were able to offer additional access to them in order to process their waste. This was accomplished without incurring additional cost to the municipality. We are fortunate they wanted to discuss how to upgrade the way the municipality processes household waste. The various meetings with the campground and resort owners went well and were fashioned on trying to arrange a solution. I have agreed to meet with them at the end of this season to discuss modification of the system or improvements to the system or waste management for the next year. Our discussions have also focused on waste diversion and improving the rate of recycling for the municipality. They share the municipalities’ goal of trying to improve the rate of recycling and directing more of the household waste towards the composting and recycling streams of waste management. Waste management is a complex and ultimately expensive system to

operate, especially when attempting to meet the needs of residents, commercial interests and seasonal residents. The system we have in place will be tweaked as we complete the first year of operation in time for the 2011 operational year. The system will also be focusing on recycling and diversion, as we have now completed the first phase of reconstruction of the system and introduced it to the public. Our waste transfer system will continue to evolve as we meet the goals outlined by the province of Ontario regarding recycling, composting and waste diversion. Staff and council wish to continue to work with segments of our community as we develop a system, which meets the needs of all in our municipality. Waste management is no longer a matter of burying the garbage we generate. Sincerely, Peter R. Emon Reeve Greater Madawaska

Shop local not always practised, says business owner If this is a surprise to some of the councillors and the mayor herself, then they should be more aware of where Renfrew tax money is spent. Can the town not find skilled labour here in town? I am not asking that the work be handed to me, but just that I get a chance to bid on it. Wouldn’t that be fair? Another issue is signage here in Renfrew. There are many business with advertising signs up in Renfrew, If they are paying business taxes they should

have signs, but what about businesses from out of town advertising on buildings at the lights at Coumbes and Hall Avenue. If they want to advertise there they should also have to pay business taxes to the Town of Renfrew. In summary, with the election coming up, it is Renfrew Auto Glass’s view to elect those who have the good of Renfrew in mind and not the good for themselves. Roy Dick Renfrew Auto Glass owner

To the editor: After having read the article about the Town of Renfrew being embarrassed, I was moved to share with you another embarrassment for the town. Although they advertise to spend locally and buy locally to the residents of Renfrew, they themselves do not. Renfrew Auto Glass has been in business here in Renfrew since 1995. We have been paying business taxes since 1995, but yet the Town of Renfrew has been getting their work done from a business in Arnprior.

BREAKING NEWS

Construction begins on eastern Ontario’s broadband mega-network Ontario’s largest rural broadband network is ready to begin construction. The high-speed Internet infrastructure project will connect with local delivery systems to expand service to an estimated one million residents and businesses in Eastern Ontario. Chuck Strahl, Canada’s Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, and Carol Mitchell, Ontario’s Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, together with Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus Inc. (EOWC) moved forward on a landmark partnership today to start construction of the broadband network in Eastern Ontario. The EOWC comprises the 13 upperand single-tier municipalities within Eastern Ontario, as well as separated municipalities and First Nations communities. “Our government remains committed to delivering investments that help create jobs and build strong, sustainable communities now and for years to come,” said Strahl. “The construction of a broadband network in Eastern Ontario will help to expand and improve local businesses and their

services, connect family and friends to one another, and significantly boost our regional economy.” “The McGuinty government is working to build partnerships that help bring vital health, education and business services to Ontarians living in rural and remote communities,” said Mitchell. “This large-scale broadband project is a major achievement for Eastern Ontario, and one we are proud to invest in. This is part of our Open Ontario plan to create jobs and economic opportunities.” “This is great news for residents and businesses alike,” said County of Renfrew Warden Don Rathwell. “Affordable, fast and reliable Internet service will transform our economic potential and local quality of life.” “Providing broadband access to residents, businesses and First Nations communities is one of the keys to unlocking the enormous economic potential of our region. This network is essential to our prosperity,” said EOWC Chair, David Burton. “Bell Aliant and Bell are pleased to have been selected to complete

this significant communications infrastructure project together for the homes and businesses of Eastern Ontario,” said Chuck Hartlen, senior vice president of customer solutions, Bell Aliant. “By building this core backbone fibre network and by using our extensive communications and technology expertise, we will be enabling access to faster, next generation broadband technology to 95 per cent of this Eastern Ontario region.” “We are proud to be working with EOWC, an organization that is as passionate about connecting rural Ontarians to high-speed Internet as we are,” said John Maduri, CEO of Barrett Xplore Inc. “Our mission is to provide innovative broadband solutions to rural customers at work, home, and play.” Through the Building Canada Fund – Major Infrastructure Component, the governments of Canada and Ontario target larger, strategic projects of national and regional significance. Projects that support economic growth, such as connectivity and broadband, qualify for joint funding.

The Renfrew Mercury - September 2, 2010

COUNTY COUNCIL

Future of outdoor education centre appears promising STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman&metroland.com

The financial challenges facing volunteers developing the Shaw Woods Outdoor Education Centre will be significant, says Karen Stokes, a member of the centre’s board of directors. However, she and other board members also spoke optimistically about the future of the centre at the Aug. 25 meeting of Renfrew County council. The centre has yet to be built, but it is hoped the 120 acres belonging to Herb Shaw & Sons lumber company will become a destination for county-based and out-of-county schools as well as for residents and tourists. Located just off Bulger Road, near Snake River and Lake Dore, the land features an impressive diversity of birds, animals, flora and fauna. The land would become a destination site with an

interpretative trail network. The outdoor education centre’s board chair, Wayne Remgus, led the presentation, but board members Stokes, Dana Shaw and Grant Dobson made additional comments. The vision, said Shaw, is to create a “place that people can go to be educated and to enjoy a unique place in Renfrew County.” Dana Shaw is a fifth-generation grandson of John Shaw and son of Herb Shaw, owner of Herb Shaw & Sons that will donate the land − located in North Algona Wilberforce − after the education centre gains chari- Wayne Remus, board chair for the Shaw Woods Outdoor Education table status. The project’s benefits include Centre, addresses county council. curriculum-based activity for school children, promotion of of outdoor-education satellite sustainable forestry products, centres in the county. promotion of the area’s flora, As the home to old-growth fauna and animal and bird spe- forests of beech, hemlock and cies, and linkage with a number maple, the property is particu-

larly unique. Some trees reach 35 metres in height on this tract of land and species in the area include bald eagles. This same land has been virtually undisturbed since the John and Barbara Shaw established their homestead in the area in 1847. “With the uniqueness of this site and the development of an outdoor centre, we believe we can attract local schools and out-of-area schools,” said Remus of the project, which has been kick-started with $10,000 from the Renfrew County Stewardship Council. Challenges in the early development of the project include financing. Without requesting any funds, Remus told county council he was looking for its support. Verbally, several county councillors voiced support. Algonquin College is among other partners who have expressed great inter-

est in the project. “This is a great opportunity to showcase an industry that has had its fair share of knocks,” said county councillor Bob Sweet of Petawawa. Jack Wilson of Laurentian Valley and Mary Campbell of McNab-Braeside also expressed support for the project. One of the next steps is to apply for grants for capital costs. By this fall the board expects to be incorporated as not-for-profit before applying for charitable status. Construction of the outdoor centre is expected to start next spring in time to host Renfrew County’s 2011 Envirothon. While this is a long-term project, Remus said the enthusiasm of several partners “leads us to believe this will be successful. Estimated short-term costs, including the cost of the 1,00square foot outdoor centre, are $150,000 to $200,000.

Renfrew County councillors seeking answers from MP Gallant STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Renfrew County council has unanimously passed a motion requesting the annual $40 million allocation to eastern Ontario’s municipalities be continued. The motion, passed in the Aug. 25 meeting of county council, refers to the money the 14 municipalities of the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus have accessed since the mid-2000s when Paul Martin was the Liberal prime minister.

The additional funding, which was intended to offset funding inadequacies, was to end two years ago. However, the allocation was extended for two years. But two years isn’t enough, say several county councillors, including Petawawa Mayor Bob Sweet. “This is a very, very important piece of funding that could be lost to us,” said Sweet. County councillors say they’ve heard no word about a possible extension. Those funds, which are administered

by the Renfrew County Futures Development Corporation, have helped numerous programs across the county. “I can’t tell you how many times we’ve accessed the fund,” said Admaston-Bromley Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe. “The fund allows for alternative sources of funds that might not fit into specific budget categories, but are necessary for the advancement and betterment of the community,” said Greater Madawaska Reeve Peter Emon. These funds have been used for a wide

Renfrew council mostly cold to reannexation move STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

It has been 40 years since land on Whitton Road, now belonging to Irvin Jamieson and Dave and Warren La Rocque, changed hands, with annexation from Horton Township to the Town of Renfrew. Horton unsuccessfully appealed the move back then, but Horton may be interested in regaining that territory. Jamieson and the La Rocques are too, therefore they have approached Horton and Renfrew to initiate discussions on the matter. The La Rocques own a vacant lot of 30.49 acres next to Jamieson’s farm property of 4.8 acres. The La Rocques have voiced their displeasure at the bylaw passed in January 2010 that established development fees of $13,282 per acre, or more than $464,000 for their entire property. Deputy-treasurer Valerie Jahn says the multiple-lot value is $181,000 and was subject to 2010 taxes of just over $1,500. She also pointed out that if this was developed in the future as a commercial property the tax loss to Renfrew (in the event of reannexation to Horton) could be “quite substantial.” The issue was almost squashed at Renfrew council’s Mondaynight meeting that was attended by Jamieson and the La Rocques,

as well as Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing advisor Stephen Seller. “It requires willing partners to move forward,” said Seller, who pointed out that reannexation is “not a priority of the present government.” At the same time, he indicated that such moves could be approved by the minister, in this case, if it receives the okay of both townships and of Renfrew County. He also pointed out that such a move would obviously result in loss of tax assessment to one municipality, “so compensation would be possible but would require agreements of both parties.” The La Rocques were not on the council meeting’s agenda, but in efforts to facilitate discussion around the council table, Mayor Sandi Heins invited the La Rocques to speak. Dave La Rocque did so while offering what seemed to be conciliatory as well as inflammatory comments. First, Coun. Tom Anderson said, “I really fail to see much benefit to the town” to annexing the properties back to Horton. Dave La Rocque then came forward to say “there’s more here than meets the eye. The town council has put us in a very precarious situation.” He argued the development-charge bylaw “has made our property unsaleable.”

He also cautioned council not to turn down efforts to reannex the land back to Horton. Coun. Anderson stood up to say he wasn’t particularly interested in revisiting a decision made 40 years ago. Coun. Bill Ringrose also didn’t welcome reannexation. However, he said if the La Rocques had valuable information that council is not aware of, “that’s well enough. (But) I didn’t hear that.” Not being specific, Dave La Rocque asked for council to listen to what they have to say (in a future meeting), but added in a threatening tone that “we will deal with your decision.” Later in the meeting, Dave was more conciliatory, concluding, “Whatever council decides, we’ll live by it.” Because of the present development charges, La Rocque said he and son Warren own a piece of property that will sit unused “until I die.” Coun. Kate Windle figured “most people at this table are against annexation” and said she had the impression Horton councillor Dave Bennett (who is running for mayor and chairs Horton’s planning committee) saw no wisdom in reannexation. Therefore, she concluded: “I would like to go ahead and vote on this.” The next day, Coun. Bennett told The Renfrew Mercury Hor-

ton was only interested in visiting the matter of reannexation if the Town of Renfrew felt something could be done to encourage more economic development. Horton Coun. Don Eady (who is also running for mayor) also spoke to the Mercury. He indicated Horton, which asked for the initial meeting with Renfrew town staff on the issue, said he would be interested in further discussions about the Whitton Road properties. Renfrew Coun. Gail Cole said she favoured more discussion

before council made a decision. Renfrew council voted not to approve any annexation at this time, but to arrange for a meeting with both townships and the concerned Whitton Road property owners. After the council meeting, the La Rocques told the Mercury the real issue is the restrictions in the development-charge bylaw. The bylaw needs to be changed, agreed Dave and Warren La Rocques, a point not made during Monday’s regular council meeting.

Seeking answers from local MP

Continued from Page 8 “I sit here and I don’t have a clue what the government wants to do with AECL,” said Hildebrandt, arguing that the least county council can do is get Gallant to “tell us what’s going on.” Emon suggested a more conciliatory approach with a smaller delegation: “She does live just down the street and a meeting with her should be fairly easy to set up. “She’d be reluctant to show up here

(in council chambers) where everyone’s throwing out questions. It would be better in a smaller, collegial environment.” At the same time, Emon stressed the need to receive clearer indications from Gallant on the $40 million allocation and AECL’s future. On the latter, Emon said: “We need her as an advocate to ensure that AECL has a continued presence in the world’s nuclear community.”

Finding the best for your buck with local retailers

Flyerland gives local readers access to best deals STAFF The web will be bringing readers the best deals locally now that Flyerland has moved ads from the region’s Metroland papers online. Debbie Frye, general manager at Flyerland.ca, said that since Flyerland rolled out their system to put ads from weeklies in Ottawa and the Valley last month, residents have gone to more than 550,000 pages. “We are keeping an eye out for August but we are expecting those numbers to grow exponentially,” she said. “What it means for the reader is that they will have electronic access to all the ads they are seeing in their local Metroland newspaper. And can now compare prices at more than one retailer locally.” Readers can search for ads by geographic location and get the same deals with coupons that they print out at their home desktop — rather than clipping out the coupons from the paper. Frye said 15 minutes of surfing can save readers $50, by allowing them to do a little comparison shopping. “You can end up spending more money even going to the discount stores if you don’t come prepared and end up overwhelmed,” Frye said. “Everyone should go shopping with a list.” “We are extremely proud to be providing this value added service to all of our advertisers and readers. Flyerland has seen rapid

growth since its launch primarily because users truly enjoy the convenience and terrific savings. Publishing all of the ads from our newspapers will only enrich the local shopping experience for our audience,” said Chris McWebb, publisher of Metroland Media – Ottawa Region. “Flyerland is not only a tremendous shopping tool – but also a friend to the environment, which is a very positive combination,” he said. Flyerland was rolled out about two-and-a-half years ago and is one of the most popular Canadian websites, with more than a million unique users monthly. If a reader logs on in Renfrew, they have access to 61 flyers and countless coupons to take to their local merchants. There are about 400,000 products available on the site from 100 Canadian retailers. “We have about 80 per cent of national advertisers on the site,” Frye said. “So you can print out a coupon from Payless today and put it with your list and go to the store.” Frye said research from the National Retail Federation shows the average Canadian spends $620 on back-to-school supplies, that’s why they timed Ottawa newspaper ads for the fall. “It was really about simplifying the process of getting the local ads online,” she said. “And now that people have access to those ads and can comparison shop, we are hoping to help them save of those expenses.”

The next Canadian Blood Services (CBS) blood donor clinic is Sept. 15 from 2 to 8 p.m. at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School in Renfrew. CBS collected 97 units of blood from 128 donors at the July 15 clinic in town. “The need for blood of all types is constant, and we are continuing our efforts to ensure Canadians receive the life-saving blood and blood products they require,” says community development co-ordinator of donor services, Jennifer Heale. “The 97 units donated have a tremendous impact on meeting patient needs now and into the future. Since one blood donation can save as many as three people, 291 patients will be touched by your donation,” she adds. “For someone in need, your blood donation is the difference between life and death.”

Heale said CBS looks forward to seeing the return of first-time donors from the July clinic, and invites them to bring along a friend to donate with them in September. On average, every minute of every day someone in Canada is in need of blood or a blood product. “A big thank you goes to the 128 people in the community who came in to give a generous blood donation, and to the wonderful volunteers from the Masons for their amazing support and sponsorship. Your continued help is vital to our success,” she says. “Also, a very big thank-you goes to all the donors who came out and donated on a hot summer evening,” she adds. “A blood donor clinic would not succeed without the efforts of its volunteers, sponsors and communities commitment to savings lives.”

Needless waste or worthy effort?

Call for action against litter criminals

STEVE NEWMAN

After receiving a call from a neighbour, Renfrew mayoral candidate Callum Scott says he was shocked to see how much usable material was being thrown in the dumpster next to the old Renfrew Day Care. The daycare centre, operated by the town for years, was recently closed. The dumpster was full of usable equipment, including unopened Halloween clothing, a microwave, children’s books and play stations, and several other items, including supplies stored for years in the daycare basement. “It just shows the waste over the last 10 years. If this is any indicator, this tells me somebody isn’t doing their job (at town hall),” said Scott, who showed up to see what was in the bin and take some of the goods home. This is just another example, says Scott, of some people not caring enough about their community. Certain apartment buildings in town have no recycling programs, and many residents bag their grass in garbage bags despite scheduled garbage pick-ups for only grass and tree cuttings, said Scott. Council members Bill Ringrose and Audrey Green sat on the daycare committee that took various steps to dispose of equipment and other products left in the daycare facility at the armouries. Other town departments were offered, and selected, some of the material, says

Grant Eady says it’s time littering near his home his handled for what it is – criminal. Eady is outraged over garbage recently dumped onto the property that abuts his property in Admaston-Bromley Township. The garbage, that was dumped some time Wednesday, Aug. 25 between 7 and 10:30 a.m., includes children’s toys, an old desk, a computer and more. “Oddly enough, this is a dump day in Admaston Township, along with Saturdays and Sundays for our residents. Residents can take their waste to the dump for free,” says Eady. He meanwhile notes the illegal dumping is obviously the work of someone old enough to have a family. “The contents also included a drawing which hopefully will enable me to track down the culprit or culprits,” Eady tells The Mercury. He hopes his coming forward to the newspaper will shame the culprits that he says continue to throw garbage “throughout our beautiful communities surrounding Renfrew.” “It happens all over, not just on our little road. Myself and my neighbours have had enough,” says Eady. “It is time criminal charges are laid against vandals of this nature. An example needs to be made,” he adds. Eady says furniture, TVs, computers, countless tires and more are discarded in rural

Ringrose. Different groups in town, including the library, other daycares and former daycare staff were also offered the goods at nominal prices, prior to a public sale Aug. 21. What went into the dumpster had no value to the many people or organizations offered the goods, said Ringrose. He noted the town collected about $3,000 from the various sales.

Trash dumped near Grant Eady’s property. communities surrounding the town. “The year is 2010 and we are trying to teach our children to recycle, yet we have adults that continue to pollute our countryside. Enough is enough,” he says. The Horton dump, he says, is open Tuesdays 1 to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Certain items require a small tipping fee, he says, and the dump is open to township ratepayers. He called the Renfrew landfill site as well and reports they are open Tuesday to Saturday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and have small tipping fees for certain items. He advises people to call the Renfrew landfill for these specific items and the rates for their disposal. “Are Renfrew rates too high?,” Eady asks. “Still, it’s no excuse, so tell me, why would anyone have to discard garbage on our rural properties?” His questions continue.

Blue jays: they are noisy bands of marauders

During the past few weeks we have been hearing flocks of noisy marauders, mainly blue jays and common crows. Most of the racket is being generated by immature birds begging for food or trying to intimidate other birds as they search for food. These birds have not yet learned that the squeaky wheel gets the most grease or in this case the noisy bird gets the most attention from predators. We are familiar with the loud “jay, jay, jay” call of the blue jay. This call can have many variations and can be given in varying intensities. At low intensities it is used as an assembly call that attracts other jays to a food source. At high intensities it is an alarm call to warn of danger and also a mobbing call for other jays to assemble and help drive a predator away. Jays give a number of calls from a rather musical bell-like call, to a dry nonmusical rattle. All have meaning to the birds. We get some indication as to their

JIM FERGUSON SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE meaning by watching the behaviour of the birds when the call is given. This time of year they are usually the begging calls of the young crows badgering their parents for more food. It is time for the adult crows to gather together into winter flocks, which seems to require a great deal of calling and flying about. We are able to hear the calls and observe the behaviour for both crows and jays when they active, as they are now. BLUEBIRDS FLEDGE Barry and Susan Byce had birds from two broods of eastern bluebirds fledge from their bird boxes. Unfortunately, only two in each brood survived. Variations in temperature during the early spring resulted in insect hatchings that were either delayed or destroyed. The result was that many food items were not available to the birds. Nestlings will not open their mouths to feed when the parents arrive with food if the temperature is at or below 9 Celsius. After several attempts to feed the young, the adults will loose interest and will not bring food to the nest. If the pair remains together they will nest somewhere else or build another nest

over the top of the previous one.

BARN SWALLOWS NEST AGAIN LOCAL FLOCK GOES ON TOUR The barn swallows that have nested under the roof of Joyce and Collett Calverley’s front parch returned this year for the 12th time. There is no way of knowing whether they are the original pair or their young. The maximum age of barn swallows is 16 years but accidents and predators reduce that to less than half. But all things are possible in the bird world. This year there were five eggs hatched but only four survived and one of the birds was larger than the others. It was a swallow and not a cowbird. The explanation is not clear. The Calverleys saw a single immature Ggreen heron on their patio and a few days later a neighbour said he saw four herons on the patio. The young are very curious and as a result will travel over a wide area in search of food. Green herons nest in several places along the Bon-

A flock of about 50 Canada geese has been flying over much of the area and in every direction. Their home base is not known but there are several possibilities. Our guess would be that they came from near Dacre. The young birds require many hours of practice time before they are capable of long, arduous migratory flights. The dangers are many and the rest areas are not as clearly defined as they once were. They may arrive at a feeding area that last season provided food, while this year the area could be a construction site for a housing project. This means a move to an area where food may be scarce. 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

OPP seek help in homicide investigation The Upper Ottawa Valley Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are investigating the death of a male and are treating the case as a homicide. On Thursday Aug. 26, 2010 in the early morning hours the Upper Ottawa Valley OPP responded to a call of a disturbance at a residence in Laurentian Valley Township. Two male persons were transported to Pembroke Regional Hospital by paramedics for medical treatment. A 39-year-old male succumbed to his injuries and was pro-

nounced dead at the hospital. One male has been taken into custody; formal charges are pending. OPP detectives from the Renfrew County Crime Unit are conducting the investigation, with assistance from the Eastern Region Crime Unit and the Forensic Identification Unit, under the direction of Acting Detective Inspector David MacDonald, Criminal Investigation Branch. Anyone with information on the case is asked to contact the Upper Ottawa Valley OPP at 613735-0188.

criminal act?, he wonders, then answers his own last question. “It is a criminal act and in the future, with the aid of our watchful friends and neighbours, we will succeed in identifying and charging individuals that are foolish enough to commit such a crime,” Eady says. “The vandals that destroyed mail boxes in our neighbourhood were caught,” he says. “Perhaps now we can put a stop to the litter.”

Each week we feature animals from the Arnprior and District Humane Society that are up for adoption.

# 3777 Abbie Abbie is a beautiful little cat with lots of personality. The nine-month-old spayed female was left at the shelter with her sisters to ﬁnd a new home. She is very affectionate and sweet and loves attention. Abbie is playful, curious and gentle – a cat that would be good with children. She tolerates other cats but prefers her own space. Abbie is at the Arnprior Pet Valu for viewing.

SPLASH LANDING The Renfrew OPP received a call around 3 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 24 about a car in Calabogie Lake. When police responded they found a silver 2010 Impala about four feet off shore. Melvin Dey, 72, of Ottawa told police the vehicle’s brakes failed when the car drove over some rocks, damaged a surfboard on shore and came to rest against a canoe parked on the shoreline. The motorist and his passenger wife were helped from the vehicle by witnesses. Dwaine Turcotte of Dwaine’s Towing, at left, had to submerge himself underwater to hook up the rental vehicle to be towed to shore. Const. Paul Babin was the investigating officer.

She is friendly and very affectionate. She likes to play but is also very snuggly. Like Abbie, Alyssa will be a good cat with children. Please consider welcoming this kitty into your home and heart. Supplies the shelter needs: Whiskas Meaty Selections dry cat food, dry kitten food, paper towels and bleach.

‘Granny fraud’ and a whole lot more on Renfrew police beat The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police responded to 203 calls for service during the past week. Some of them concerned a fraudulent scheme, commonly referred to as Granny Fraud, which has claimed a victim in Renfrew. The victim is contacted by someone claiming to be one of their grandchildren. They state they are in trouble, either involved in a car crash, or in jail and need bail money. The victim is then instructed to wire money to an alleged lawyer or police officer, and is always asked not to tell anyone. Anyone contacted with a request of this nature should always verify the informa-

tion or whereabouts of the “grandchild” with a family member or police. People are often embarrassed by being duped, and don’t report the fraud to anyone. The Renfrew OPP are encouraging anyone who has been targeted to contact them, since these criminals are professionals and there is nothing to be embarrassed about. If you have any information or concerns, contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 MAILBOX THEFT A large fish-shaped mailbox was stolen from a residence on Calabogie Road overnight Sunday. The mailbox was shaped

a generator was stolen from a cottage on Horton Township’s River Road. It was a 2008 Craftsman 5600. If you leave valuables behind, at least lock your unattended vehicles, the police advise. A wallet was stolen from an unlocked vehicle on McBride Road in AdmastonBromley the evening of Aug. 24. The empty wallet was located nearby the next day. There are no suspects. A white, four-door 1992 Mercury Grand Marquis, Ontario licence 467 XNT was stolen from Rath’s Farm Equipment on Russett Drive in McNab-Braeside. The vehicle, which has the business name on both front doors, was reported stolen Aug. 26.

like a bass, green with a white belly and is about three feet long. Constable Mark Babin is investigating. Const. Babin is also investigating the cases of four damaged mailboxes on Upper Spruce Hedge Road, near Calabogie Road, which may be related to the stolen mailbox. On Upper Spruce Hedge Road four mailboxes were either knocked from their posts or damaged. There are currently no suspects. A red car was stolen from a home in Calabogie overnight on Saturday, Aug. 28. The 1998 Pontiac Grand Am was discovered missing 6 a.m. Sunday. The car had no licence plates at the time.

OPP ready for long-weekend blitz As people prepare to celebrate the final long weekend of the season, the OPP is preparing for a Labour-Day-weekend safety blitz. OPP officers will be out in full force patrolling Ontario’s highways, waterways and trails targeting aggressive drivers and marine operators. “We are asking everyone to join our efforts by acting responsibly while out enjoying the roads and waterways this upcoming holiday long-weekend,” said OPP Commissioner Chris Lewis. “The OPP will continue to demonstrate our commitment to safe communities by being out in full force and targeting those who put others’ safety at risk.” So far this year, 205 people have died in trafficrelated fatalities in Ontario on OPP-patrolled roadways as compared to 199 in 2009. Marine fatalities are down in 2010 to 17 to date as compared to 27 in 2009. Despite this trend, the OPP continues to respond almost daily to calls from people in distress on waterways. “The increase in the number of fatalities from last year causes the OPP great concern,” said Deputy Commissioner Larry Beechey, provincial commander responsible for OPP traffic safety programs. “This is not acceptable and our stepped-up patrols across the province will be addressing this issue by targeting the aggressive driving and boating behaviours that put the lives and safety of innocent people at risk.” The OPP is calling on all motorists and boaters to keep safety as a priority this long weekend. Slow down and be respectful of others, leave some extra time to get to your destination and keep extra space between you and other vehicles or vessels.

Memories of the historic K&P Railway were revived at the 2010 Cobden Fair as Andrew Laird, at right, showcased his impressive model train collection in the arena. Among the many people to enjoy the display were, at left, Kennedy Watson and Alex Stoppa. Laird, who grew up in Renfrew, has been collecting trains for about 30 years and began with a basic starter set and just enough track to circle a Christmas tree. Laird’s grandfather was founder of The Renfrew Advance. The presses once ran in the livingroom of the McPherson home on Raglan Street – now home to Donohue Art and Frame.

COMMUNITY

Dewey Data from the GM Library MARY JOAN HALE Is it really September? What a lovely time we have had in the library this summer! We had scads of visitors from overseas, the U.S. and across Canada. How lucky to live where we welcome the world. Sadly, we were closed when I took a few vacation days, so it may have affected our stats, but I expect that 2011 will be better. I have been blessed with dedicated volunteers since we have been unable to hire summer students. The backlog is getting catalogued. Furniture is moving about to try and make a more useable flow for patrons. The files are almost organized. The TD Summer Program was a success and ended on a high with a visit to our Community Hall from Waddles’n’Wags. How delighted the wee ones were to cuddle the bunnies, walk the rats and ferrets on their wee leashes, hold the small snakes and pet the boa. I must say that seeing

the creatures in their aquaria (from a distance) was enough for me and petting the bunnies my adventure for the day. Thanks to Dominique, Julia and Sharon for easing the load. We will be changing the Preschool Storytyme to Thursday mornings, so all the wee ones will get their naps in the afternoons and be able to take part in the Tuesday morning Playgroup. Watch for notices about this. Storytyme will be from 10 to 11 a.m. The program will continue to focus on reading, songs and small and large muscle activities. If you are up to five years old, you’re welcome to bring parents/grandparents/caregivers along for the fun. It’s a free drop-in, no registration required! Wards 2 and 3, remember that we deliver to Lacourse’s and Eagles Rest every Tuesday. There may be a depot in Dacre soon. Keep your fingers crossed. Have a Happy Labour Day.

Salvation Army’s free Noah’s Park program starts next week Parents are asked to register their children for the Renfrew Salvation Army Community Church’s Noah’s Park. Opening day is Tuesday, Sept. 7. The after-school program, which runs throughout the school year at the church, is for children ages four to 12. The free program will feature crafts, videos, a period of devotion, games and

snacks is schedule to run from 3 to 5 p.m. every Tuesday. The chief instructor will be Jane Forrest. “We hope Noah’s Park provides a better understanding of the Lord and offers children a chance to spend healthy time with other children,” she said. For more information, or to register, call her at 613-432-7721.

The official change-over of the board of directors and executive of Rotary clubs around the world happens annually on July 1. For the 2010-2011 Rotary year, Judith Gilchrist has stepped in as president of the Rotary Club of Renfrew, which was originally chartered in 1922. This is Gilchrist’s second time as club president, after holding the position in 1999-2000. The official change-over was held at the Renfrew Golf Club June 27, 2010 with a large number of attendees. Guests included visiting Rotarians from Texas, New Mexico and the North Renfrew Rotary Club. Attendance is an important aspect of membership in the club, and each year members are acknowledged for perfect attendance. Celebrating a significant achievement this year, Neil Ritchie was presented with his 35-year pin of perfect attendance as well as a plaque to commemorate his dedication to Rotary. Art Dick has also had a long history of perfect attendance, and was presented with his 29year pin. The Rotary Club of Renfrew continues to play a lead role in supporting the Renfrew community, with ongoing commitments to the Renfrew Victoria Hospital and the Hospice. This year the Rotary club donated funds to the Bonnechere Manor Auditorium campaign through the Matthew Ferry event held in April. Rotary Homes, established in 1956, underwent significant upgrades this past year and continue to offer affordable housing to seniors or those on a limited income. The club maintains an active role in International Youth

Exchange, which offers a terrific opportunity for young people to experience the culture and language of another country for either a short- or long-term placement. Many local youth have benefitted from this experience, and the club has had the pleasure of hosting an incoming student each year. The Rotary Club of Renfrew is part of Rotary International district 7040 that contains portions of Ontario, Quebec, New York and Iqaluit. The Rotary International theme for 2010-2011, Building Communities-Bridging Continents was set by RI president Ray Klinginsmith and brings Rotarians together to do what they do best. “Rotarians have changed the world, and will continue to do so, by keeping our focus and passions moving to help both our local and international communities,” says Klinginsmith. Gilchrist notes that several members, herself included, were able to attend the Rotary International convention in Montreal in June. “Spending time with over 20,000 Rotarians from around the world, reinforces the impact that Rotary has worldwide and makes you proud to be a part of the organization,” said Gilchrist. She plans to continue the excellent work the club has a history of providing to the community. Succession and strategic planning are an important part of setting the club’s direction and growth. Membership is key in keeping any volunteer organization vibrant and strong, and the president anticipates a continued increase in membership of the Renfrew club over the next year. “We have people approaching us for information about membership, and wanting to give back to their community,” said Gilchrist.

Timbits golf program powers the future of the game LUCY HASS lucy.hass@metroland.com

Wednesday night junior golf is nothing new to the Renfrew Golf Club, says Renfrew Golf Club head pro Bill Rainboth. “This is my seventh year here as head pro and I have been gradually trying to add value to all our junior programs so that they are more inclusive to all ages, genders and skill levels of young golfers,” he says. As Rainboth explains, the idea of a junior club started with a member called Mary-Joe Heyes. “Last year Mary-Joe and I started a Girls Only Club, modelled after another existing girls’ club run at the Rideauview Club in Manotick,” he says. Meanwhile, local Tim Hortons owner Don Carty approached Rainboth to say he wanted to sponsor a Timbits club for girls, and create a similar club for boys every Wednesday at 4 p.m., after the girls club. “Being an avid hockey fan I was certainly aware of the reputation of Timbits Hockey and, to a lesser extent, Timbits Soccer,” said Rainboth. “The fact that we introduced an inexpensive, inclusive program with a trusted brand like Tim Hortons made us an obvious choice for parents this summer.” Rainboth structured registration so juniors had to be at least six years old and didn’t have to be member of the Renfrew Golf Club. “The response was phenom-

Almost 70 boys and girls enjoyed this year’s junior golf clinics at the Renfrew Golf Club, sponsored by Tim Hortons. In the back row, adults overseeing the program were, from left, Don Carty of Tim Hortons, Bill Rainboth, Mary-Joe Heyes and Andrew McKay. Mercury photo by Lucy Hass enal,” says Rainboth. “Feedback from members of the club has been very encouraging. They particularly enjoy seeing the 60 Timbit shirt-wearing juniors on any given Wednesday afternoon.” Among the 12 to 16 junior girls to participate was sponsor Carty’s own daughter. “Golf is not only a game that

is a lot of fun, but it also excels in teaching fair play and respect for fellow golfers,” he says. “I am constantly struck at my good fortune as I can’t think of one incident where a junior was out of line and needed to be straightened out. The conduct of all of our club members has been beyond reproach,” he adds. Rainboth says junior golf, as a

whole, has seen enrolment drop since Tiger Mania hit its peak in the late 1990s. “It is my desire to see that trend reverse,” he says. “It is also my plan to hit elementary schools this winter fo that children will become exposed to golf at a very young age.” He especially acknowledges the efforts of Heyes and instruc-

tor Andrew McKay for their dedication to what he calls “this great initiative.” “With the help of our volunteers and Tim Hortons I am sure that we will see the program grow and improve in 2011,” he adds. “Stay tuned for more great news from the Renfrew Golf Club.”

Theme of commitment for new season and new junior B coach Smith STEVE NEWMAN

steve.newman@metroland.com

The Renfrew Timberwolves of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey are looking for more of the progress they made last season, when the junior-B squad finished third in the regular-season standings and advanced to the Valley Division final. Training camp opened last week with three two-hour evening sessions at MaTe-Way Activity Centre, and activity continues this week with more on-ice training sessions and exhibition games. Forty-one players, including six goalies, came to camp. By the end of the Aug. 26 practice, those in camp had been trimmed to just over 30. Cal Smith is the club’s new coach, and with a new direction comes inevitable expectations.

Smith, whose Renfrew major-midget teams have won two regional Silver Stick titles and reached another regional final, says the Wolves were a really good hockey team last season. However, he says there are definitely areas where improvement is needed if the squad is to challenge for the Valley Division crown. For instance, the Wolves took too many unnecessary penalties last season, says Smith. The focus for the entire season of 201011 is commitment, he stressed in three separate meetings with players. One meeting with out-of-town players, one with local players, and one with returning Wolves. “Whether it’s commitment to the coach, the coach to the players, or the players to the players,” said Smith, it has to continue in different forms. Examples, he cited, are the need to continue to work hard

when holding a healthy lead in a game, or the need to give players more ice time, when they already have two goals, to finish off a hat trick. “At times I thought there was a lack of commitment (last season) by some of the players on the ice,” said Smith. Another example, he suggested, was the low number of players on a team bus when that can be a team-building opportunity in itself. Look for players such as centre Kirk Skebo of Wilno, Jesse Riopelle of Renfrew (who played for the Central Junior Hockey League Nepean Junior Raiders last season) and winger Steve Powell to provide some of the team’s offensive output. Returning defencemen Erik Mask, Pat Collins, Tim Riopelle and Mike Deslaurier will also be key to team success, while

Smith looks for another strong season from returning goaltender Mike Rosebrook. Whoever the leaders are, the 12-year coaching veteran says he will be disappointed if the Wolves don’t win the Valley Division title. “Let’s put it this way,” he said. “I want to be able to skate with the best-skating team. I want to be in there with the toughest team. And I want to be able to score goals with the best.” Pre-season activity continues for the Wolves with a pair of 8 p.m. home exhibition games. They face the Stittsville Royals tonight (Sept. 2) and the Pontiac Juniors Tuesday, Sept. 7. They also play Saturday (Sept. 4) in Stittsville Their regular-season opener is Sunday, Sept. 12, against the defending Valley Division champion Perth Blue Wings.

T. Williams Plumbing and Heating has taken a 2-0 games lead in their 2010 Ma-Te-Way Mixed Slo Pitch League championship series versus Barker’s Collision Centre, and they have done so in electrifying fashion. The plumbing shop overcame a 10-9 deficit with six runs in the top of the seventh inning to win game one 15-10 last Thursday, and then stunned the regular season champs again with a seventh-inning tally to claim game two 8-7. Lori Murdock’s two-run single plated Randy Smith and Hillary MacMillan to put T. Williams ahead in the series opener. Lindsay Wall’s sacrifice fly scored Andrea Campbell with the game-winning run in game two. Frank Visneskie had a pair of three-run homers in the first game for T. Williams, including a seventh-inning shot. Steven Fraser added a grand slam and tworun blast in game two. Brian Vanderploeg, Stephane Lapensee and Chad Barker went deep for Barker’s. Matt Stewart posted the pitching wins over Mike McMahon. The best-of-five series resumes tonight at Ma-Te-Way Park.

Third baseman Jason Fournier was a major contributor at the plate. He hit 4-for4 and picked up the pitching win with two solid innings on the mound. In the second game, all scoring happened in the first three innings. The A’s led 4-0 after the first, surrendered four runs in the top of the second, then scored four more times in their half of the

New rates for ice rentals The Renfrew rates are considerably higher than the next-closest rinks, but its minor sports rate is the lowest because of subsidization by the town. Adult rates in Arnprior, Pembroke and Cobden were found to be about $142, $120 and $110 respectively, compared to Renfrew’s new rate of $152, up from the previous season’s rate of $150. All rates are subject to the harmonized sales tax of 13 per cent. Last season the rates were only subject to the goods and services tax of five per cent.

Minor sports rates in Arnprior, Pembroke and Cobden were between $106.50 and $85.75. Renfrew’s new minor sports rate rises from $84 to $85.50. “It does reflect our decision to support minor sport,” said Renfrew recreation director Kelley Whitman-McKie. “To the tune of 65 per cent,” added Mayor Sandi Heins. The town indicates the hourly operating costs at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre is $190. The Junior B Renfrew Timberwolves’ hourly rate is jumping from $121 last season to $123.50, plus HST.

Yellowbird takes flight

Shane Yellowbird is the headline act at the Renfrew Fair grandstand at 8:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 10. The Nov. 17, 2009 release of his sophomore album, It’s About Time, coincided with Yellowbird`s first appearance on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. Yellowbird burst onto the country music scene in 2006, with the release of his debut album Life Is Calling My Name. Garnering four top-10 radio singles and videos, the CD led Yellowbird to countless awards and accolades, including the coveted CCMA award for Rising Star of the Year, best country recording award at the Native American Music Awards (for North America) and the Aboriginal Entertainer of the Year award at the Ab-

original Peoples Choice Awards for North America. Growing up in Hobbema, Alta., Yellowbird, who is Cree, was always a typical cowboy. His parents participated in the rodeo circuit and Shane was roping and riding from a very early age. Faced with a severe stuttering problem, a speech therapist suggested to Shane that he sing his sentences to help him speak clearly. The technique proved successful – so successful, in fact, that Yellowbird began entering and winning several singing contests. The life of this cowboy quickly turned away from roping and riding and moved toward that of another dream, being a successful country music artist.

Twitty tradition lives on Country music cherishes family tradition and Michel Twitty and Tre Twitty, son and grandson respectively, of singing legend Conway Twitty, are an integral part of that great heritage. Michael and Tre not only carry Conway’s legacy, they are making a mark of their own. By age eight music had overtaken Michael’s life and he found himself under the spotlight, on stage with his legendary father, and he knew right then that this was where he wanted to spend the rest of his life. To Michael Twitty, entertaining an audience has become just as easy as having a conversation with friends. Michael prefers to read the audience and give

them exactly what they want. Whether it is country top 40, old-time rock and roll, country classics or classic Conway. “As did Conway, Michael truly possesses a rare ability to reach out and establish a very special relationship with his fans,”their website says. “Whether it is the tender meaning of a soulful ballad, or the frenzied excitement of a rockin’, stompin’ dance tune, Michael’s audiences live each song along with this irresistible entertainer. “His tremendous vocal ability, infectious energy and timely wit keep audiences on the edge of their seat for the entire performance and on their feet at the close of the show,” the site says.

Abbamania at grandstand Thursday The Canadian-produced rock musical ABBAMANIA comes to town next Thursday night. Sept. 9 at 8 p.m., the show will take spectators back to the disco era of one of the best pop bands in history, ABBA. “The concert features nine incredible musicians and singers who not only look exactly like Anni-Frid, Bjorn, Benny and Agnetha, they also sound unbelieveably like them,” says the show’s website. Recently returned from a Malasyian tour, ABBAMANIA performs in Canada, the U.S. and internationally. The Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto identified ABBAMANIA as its

number one show in 2000. ABBAMANIA perform 21 of ABBA’s hits, with costume changes, choreography, a live band, back-up singers and big studio sound. Special guests are members of the London Symphony Orchestra. The ABBAMANIA song list features Mama Mia; Voulez-Vous; Knowing Me, Knowing You; Take A Chance; Does Your Mother Know; Money, Money; Chiquita; Gimme, Gimme; Waterloo; Dancing Queen; S.O.S..; I Do, I Do, I Do; Fernando; Hole In Your Soul; Lay All Your Love; Summer Night City; Super Trooper; and Name of the Game.

Fall is here and everyone is up and running after the wonderful summer we have had. It was surely an artist’s delight for photography. If you read this column you know we are always talking about new mediums and techniques. Well a new technique is going to be demonstrated at our next meeting. Kay Ranger, a well-known watercolour artist from the Pontiac, will be our speaker at our September meeting. She is also a member of the RAG and the Pontiac Artists Association. Kay is working on a new technique where you prepare the watercolour paper and mount in on gator board. When the painting is finished and sprayed there is no need for glass to protect it. Kay will be taking us through the steps of this process. Certainly interesting even if you don’t paint with watercolours. The 10th anniversary Calabogie Artfest is Oct. 2 and 3 at the Calabogie Community Centre. It is hard to believe that it was 10 years ago that Renfrew Art Guild started the Calabogie Artfest. The core group in Calabogie has worked hard over the years to make this show an annual event worth visiting. We are one of the stopping points for the Rural Ramble with their new format this year. Come and join us and see some great art. Our first meeting of the season is Sept. 7 at 7 p.m. at Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church, 291 Plaunt Renfrew. Please use the Quarry entrance. Everyone is welcome. For more info, call Diana 613-433-3635.

McNab-Braeside council nixes changes to EP zone JOHN CARTER

john.carter@metroland.com

In response to several complaints by residents about expanded environmental protection zones on their properties, McNab-Braeside council has agreed to revert to the previous boundaries, even though planner Bruce Haworth says they could be based on out-of-date mapping. The decision came near the start of a lengthy discussion Aug. 17 over public comments on the draft comprehensive zoning bylaw designed to bring it in line with the official plan approved earlier this year. The move to return to the old mapping lines for EP zones was supported unanimously by council (Mayor Mary Campbell was away at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario convention) and seemed to be received well by most of the 25 people in attendance. However, township CAO Noreen Mellema said she recommends council hold another public meeting on the issue as planner feels the EP switch could be interpreted as a major change to the draft bylaw. The now-dropped changes reduced the EP zone on some properties. However, as their owners were likely happy with that change, it’s not likely they attended the Aug. 17 council meeting. Now that the changes they anticipated have been eliminated, they might be upset and should be given a chance to speak up before council

passes the new bylaw, the argument goes. Mellema also noted there may be ramifications to having the township’s comprehensive zoning bylaw differ from the official plan and the fact some of the EP designation is based on outdated mapping. During the public consultation process, close to 20 residents argued the expansions of the EP zones, which restrict building, were unfair mainly because they were based on water courses that only exist for a brief time or have changed since the aerial mapping. Haworth offered to review the designation on every property subject to a complaint. However, councillors Jim McGregor and Brad McIlquham argued the changes aren’t necessary as the old EP boundaries have worked well for years. “We should use the old lines as much as possible for the EP zone unless it doesn’t make sense,” said McGregor, who moved the motion to revert to the old EP zone boundaries. Deputy Mayor Elmer Raycroft, who chaired the meeting in the absence of Campbell, said he was satisfied council had addressed the concerns of those who showed up at the public consultation sessions to express their opposition to the proposed EP changes. Coun. Andy Dunlop said the bylaw should reflect the wishes of property-owners, but cautioned that the zones should be based on correct data.

Corn crop two or three feet over your head is double-cobbed If you are in a corn field that has corn two or three feet over your head, you don’t see anything but corn stalks and leaves. You can’t see anything ahead of you but corn. You have to look straight up to see the sky. Imagine if you’re in a corn field where the corn is eight or nine

MAYNARD VAN DER GALIEN RURAL ROUTES feet taller than you are. You won’t even see a sky. A photo of a corn field on the

front page of the August issue of an eastern Ontario farm publication shows a corn crop that is 14-feet tall. Stittsville crop farmer Don Kenny stands on a ladder in front of the high corn. Kenny is chairman of the new Grain Farmers of Ontario. It’s not only the Ottawa area

that has tall corn that is doublecobbed, tall corn is everywhere. Corn is a star performer across Ontario. OMAFRA crop specialist Gilles Quesnel of Kemptville is quoted saying “everywhere you drive in the countryside you see a good crop.” Crop experts say they’ve seen

fields at the edges with double cobs but this year there are a lot of fields with double cobs all the way through the field. The corn is tall, thick, green and doublecobbed. Farmers are tickled pink about it. They could be getting record yields of grain corn. See RURAL, Page 42

COMMUNITY

James Fulton runs the roulette wheel at the Dairy Queen Miracle Day in Renfrew. Mercury

photo by Peter Clark

Producing miracles at DQ

It was quite an event at the Dairy Queen in Renfrew Aug. 12 as 11 local children, alongside the Dairy Queen team, participated in Miracle Day to help raise about $3,000 for The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. All proceeds of Blizzard sales for the day were donated to the cause. The kids also raised additional funds by donating a dollar for the opportunity to spin the wheel for food and prizes. The wheel was a creation of Mariano Salvati. Face painting was provided by Cheylynn Quinlan and Megan Hazen. A $1 donation was given generously by all kids and adults to join in on the festivities. Children helping out were Mariano Sal-

vati, Dylan Whyte, James Fulton, Connor Fulton, Samantha Perry, Kerrin Rouleau, Jodie Plunkett, Nathan Plunkett, Carter Jackson, Ethan Jackson and Emily Moore. “This event at Dairy Queen only happens once a year,” said Carol Ann Bennett of the Dairy Queen. “CHEO makes miracles happen every day. Let’s continue as a community to support them. One of the greatest gifts we are given is children. Together, we all scream for ice cream.” Last year on Miracle Treat Day, participating Dairy Queens throughout Canada raised $2.1 million, with all proceeds going to Children’s Miracle Network hospitals in respective local communities.

The bales are sitting in second cut alfalfa hay that should have been cut a month ago. And farmers with fewer beef cattle won’t need as much feed for their herd. Hay isn’t moving much this summer. It’s a buyer’s market. It is a shame to see such a large acreage of second cut alfalfa not being harvested.

fields of second cut will not be touched. Farmers with no cattle and hay to sell will have a difficult time getting a buyer for the first cut of hay in round bales. Driving through the country I saw many hay fields that still have round bales where the baler dropped them.

Newfoundland and Labrador has a very thriving dairy industry – Newfoundland, that is. The 39 dairy producers there have an average of 144 cows each. Dairy Farmers of Newfoundland and Labrador, which was established in 1983, is trying to attract new dairy farmers to the

province. They want to produce an additional 31 million litres of milk by 2015. Problem is they have the highest operating costs in Canada. It’s due to inadequate forage production, land development and high transportation costs. They need alfalfa for milk production.

In Memory of AUSTIN BRYDGES who passed away September 03, 2009

In loving memory of my dear husband, Harry Mayhew, who passed away Sept. 5th, 2007. You were there for me to turn to when I needed a helping hand. I always knew I could count on you to advise and understand. It broke my heart to lose you, Harry, but you did not go alone. Part of me went with you the day God called you home. There will always be heartache and many a silent tear. But always precious memories of the days when you were here. I hold you tightly within my heart, and there you will remain until someday we will meet again. Forever in my heart, Your loving wife, Irene

We thought of you with love today But that is nothing new We thought about you yesterday And days before that too We think of you in silence We often speak your name Now all we have are memories And your picture in a frame Some may think you are forgotten Though you are on earth no more But in our memory you are with us As you always were before A million times we’ve thought of you A million times we’ve cried If love could have saved you You would have never died You left us beautiful memories Your love is still our guide And though we cannot see you You are always at our side It broke our heart to lose you But you did not go alone Part of us went with you On the day God called you home Forgive us Lord we’ll always weep For the Husband and Father we could not keep.
