All’s fair

The sixth annual Car Show for Dad comes to the Renfrew fairgrounds Saturday, Sept. 18. Many classic cars will be on display as funds are raised for a great cause – prostate cancer.

BEAR SIGHTING Edward Saunders was running on the Lime Kiln Road this past weekend when a bear popped onto the road. He notified the Ministry of Natural Resources of the sighting and they advised him to contact the paper to get the word out to be cautious.

HEINS IN THE RACE Renfrew Mayor Sandi Heins has finally entered the race for mayor. She is the third to join the race, following filings by Callum Scott and councillor Bill Ringrose. She filed Sept. 3. The deadline for nominations for the Oct. 25 election, in all municipalities, is Friday, Sept. 10. Local returning officers are reminding those who plan to file not to leave it too late. The deadline of 5 p.m. for past elections no longer stands. The new deadline is 2 p.m. tomorrow.

The Renfrew Fair has rolled into town, and opened last night with the alwayspopular demolition derby. Tonight Abbamania is on the grandstand, and Friday night Shane Yellowbird. Yellowbird recently performed five shows in as many days to enthusiastic Chinese audiences at World Expo 2010. His website says the shows were held on the banks of the Huangpu River in Shanghai, China and he proudly represented Canada, performing his many hits, including Bare Feet on the Blacktop and Pick Up Truck to appreciative and welcoming crowds. Yellowbird has received two Western Canadian Music Awards nominations for Country Recording of the Year and Aboriginal Recording of the Year. Saturday night a Conway Twitty tribute show hits the stage.

Treasury department experiment to continue until January STEVE NEWMAN

steve.newman@metroland.com

The town’s extension of treasury department hours from June 1 to Sept. 3 will be extended, at least for a while. Response has been positive since Renfrew’s treasury department hours extended in that period to include extra hours of 8 to 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. In the first 12 weeks of the trial period,

the department logged 129 phone calls and 75 counter visits during that additional hour of operations. With a view to possibly making this change permanent, council approved Monday night (Aug. 30) the continuation of these hours until Jan. 7, 2011. Treasury department staff has indicated the extended summer hours have been beneficial for doing business. However, they also feel they would be better able to assess if these hours are warranted year-round by

extending the trial period to January. The increased hours have not resulted in overtime salaries or in increases of parttime staff. The trial was initiated after several residents expressed dissatisfaction with the inability to pay water bills, tax bills or parking fines between 8 and 8:30 a.m., and between 4:30 and 5 p.m. To accommodate the trial period, the department’s work schedule combines eighthour and seven-and-a-half hour shifts over a two-week period for staff.

Political veteran looks to win another battle STEVE NEWMAN

steve.newman@metroland.com

She limps around with a cane, sometimes painfully, waiting for the right knee replacement she sorely needs. But it isn’t, and won’t be, her biggest or last battle. A recent survivor of breast cancer, in what may be her toughest fight ever, Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe is now running to once again lead AdmastonBromley Township for another four-year term. She has an opponent this time, in Coun. Jack Kelly, but she welcomes the challenge. “It’s democracy working at its best, and isn’t it always healthy that someone gets to earn their place,” she says. “He’s been around for a long time (in municipal politics) and believes that he has been fighting for his community. And that’s the same for me.” One of the most outspoken of Renfrew County councillors, the 67-yearold’s current municipal roles include chair of the finance and administration department, co-ordinator of Expo 150s’s idol contest, and vice-chair of the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village Board, which is spearheading recruitment of physicians. However, she doesn’t try to highlight any particular accomplishments of her township or council in re-

Raye-Anne Briscoe cent years. Successful projects in recent time are the expansion of the municipal office, repairs to South McNaughton Road and roads in Douglas, and reasonable tax rates, but she says residents already know that. Rather, she says to those voting in October’s election: “I hope they hear that I have the same enthusiasm, the same eagerness, and the same desire and commitment (as in the past) to our community, to our community that is second to none.” That’s a dramatic change from late last year when she was diagnosed with and operated on for breast cancer. “It taught me no one’s invincible. It taught me patience,” says Briscoe, who was clearly exhausted at that time.

Briscoe recalls coming to an older man’s door, while canvassing, and being told: “Now little lady, you’ve done a wonderful job. But no, no. Going for reeve is too far.” And so she continued teaching into the early 1980s, before changing careers and working as a lobbyist, which required extensive travel to Ottawa and Toronto. She also sat

on the Ontario Drainage Tribunal and Ontario Press Council, and also chaired the Ontario Financial Protection Board. Then, in the early 1990s, she says, “I got tired of leaving home Sunday night for the airport.” Back into municipal politics, she ran for Admaston deputy-reeve and won in 1994. See LOOKING, Page 5

Married to farmer John Briscoe in 1962, she ran for Admaston council by the early 1970s. She was elected to the council headed by Reeve Bernie Fulton, while still in her 20s. In the next election, she ran for reeve against Leonard Quilty and was soundly defeated. It wasn’t time for a female head of council, apparently.

“Although I thought I was kind and considerate of people who are desperate and had problems, I didn’t have a clue,” recalls Briscoe. “This one you deal with yourself. It was really difficult.” She also knows what it’s like to lose someone near and dear. As a young girl, she moved with her family from Carleton Place to Renfrew, where she grew up. Before the age of 50, her dad, George Buffam, died of encephalitis, but not before family members were exposed to much political discussion (around the kitchen table). “Newspapers were part of our house, and you didn’t touch the television news (channel) when dad was looking at it,” recalls Briscoe. She also recalls crowding around with other residents to watch certain election results updates on the Renfrew Mercury window. Her many childhood memories of Renfrew also include the day she nearly took a window out at the Anglican church while playing softball at Central Public School (where the liquor store now stands). If she hits a home run this election, it will come on the heels of her history as a school teacher for several years, two decades lobbying government on agricultural issues, and nearly 20 years in municipal politics.

Reeve Emon seeking re-election STEVE NEWMAN

to rebuilding 20 kilometres of roads every year, but he says “we don’t have the financial capacity for that. At best we can manage three or four kilometres, unless we can find matching government funding.” However, he says Ontario municipalities, including Greater Madawaska, need to continue to pressure for a regular funding mechanism from the federal and provincial governments. The need is enormous, he says, saying the cross-country need for improved or rebuilt infrastructure is valued at an enormous total of about $120 billion. “We’re (in Canada) going to hit a crisis point pretty soon. The average taxpayer is starting to catch on that there should be money directed back to the local areas.”

steve.newman@metroland.com

Peter Emon may have his name mispronounced more often than any other Renfrew County politician. But that hasn’t stood in the way of being elected to nine straight terms (including six two-year terms). An elected council member in the Greater Madawaska Township area since 1988, he is seeking re-election as head of council. JR Easton had already entered the race, while Emon filed Aug. 27, the day before his 50th birthday. For the record, Emon’s name is pronounced the same way as the acronym of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, or AMO. Whatever the pronunciation, the oldest of six children of Shirley and Earl Emon grew up in Calabogie where he still lives, with wife Alanna and their four-year-old daughter, Lily. Valuing his time with family, he admits he struggled a bit with the decision to run again. Being reeve takes time away from family and other interests, but he calls it a time-consuming, invigorating job he wanted to do. “I like what I do (as reeve). It’s fun and I’m learning every day,” he says. A Calabogie Lions Club member since 1984, Emon downhill skis a little, bicycles less than he’d like, works on building projects, and reads voraciously, including mysteries, historical novels, autobiographies and lots of municipal reports. Practically wherever Emon goes his Blackberry goes, to help him stay abreast of work on the job, whether it’s as the reeve or in his part-time job as a community mental-health crisis worker for the Pembroke Regional Hospital. Ironically, perhaps, he lives in a township whose cellular phone and broadband Internet access have improved in the last few years, but the fight by Emon, fellow council members and staff continues in efforts to bring Greater Madawaska more hightechnology infrastructure so many

Peter Emon other Ontario municipalities take for granted. In the last municipal election for reeve, Emon prevailed by a few hundred votes. “Last time around, I got out to really listen to the people (during the campaign), but this time I’m going to have to shape the debate a little bit more,” says Emon. IMPROVEMENT WITH DISCUSSION “Anybody who’s an effective leader has to put out ideas on the table and have them improve with discussion.” One unglamorous, but important, issue is the township office’s need for an updated computer system, says Emon. He says it would cost $50,000 to $100,000 to replace the current system that is old and near its operating capacity. A more glamorous issue facing the township, says Emon, is road construction. Ideally, the township would commit

In Greater Madawaska, he says about $10- to $12-million is needed to bring every road up to comfortable standard. This year, work has been done on five kilometres of Pucker Street and 1.4 kilometres of Mill Street (in Calabogie). Roads in critical need of construction or rehab include Flat, Berryvale, Frontenac and Dunn’s Lake roads, says Emon. There are also holes in broadband coverage − around Hurds Lake, Ashdad, Griffith, Matawatchan and Mount St. Patrick − despite improvements because of two recent projects spearheaded by former councillor Bruce Parker. But Emon says nothing is going to happen quickly unless the township and Ontario government successfully lobby to access the Canadian Radiotelevision and Telecommunications Commission’s huge deferral fund, to provide broadband or high speed Internet to rural Canada “through various wireless technologies. Meanwhile, what would a recent Greater Madawaska election be without noise. Noise related to Calabogie MotorSports Park, that is. See NOISE, Page 5

JOHN CARTER

john.carter@metroland.com

A flurry of filings in the past week has ensured a three-way battle for reeve and contests in every Greater Madawaska ward in the Oct. 25 election. Sitting councillor John Pratt has joined incumbent Peter Emon and JR. Easton in the race for reeve. Former Griffith and Matawatchan councillor Allan Pennock and J.P. DeGrandmont have filed to contest Ward 3 against incumbent Karin Lehnhardt and retired federal government executive Bruno Kierczack will face Michael McGarry in Ward 2 (Brougham) in a bid to replace Tom Ryan, who isn’t running again. In Ward 1, accountant and former Jocko’s Beach Resort co-owner Brian Hunt and retired Bell Canada manager Glenda McKay have become the fourth and fifth candidates (with Marie Buscomb, Vincent Johnston and Donna Marie Kennedy) to enter the race for the two positions. The deadline to file is Friday, Sept. 10 at 2 p.m. Pratt is running on a platform of greater accountability to the public, particularly as it relates to the Calabogie MotorSports Park track. The reeve and council need to do a better job of responding to the complaints of residents whose lifestyle has been adversely impacted by the track, he said. He said he is upset at the “glacial progress” of the environment noise committee in its review of the township’s noise bylaw. It’s been more than two years since the lake associations representing over 200 homes told council changes were needed to mitigate the noise, yet nothing has happened, he said. “They are still not happy ... I’d do a better job in moving that (noise bylaw review) along.” Pratt said the track is a reality, but council needs recommendations from its advisory committee so proper protocol and guidelines to govern the operation can be established. He said he feels council should also be more accountable to seasonal residents. They are paying a significant amount of taxes, so the township should consider ways to service their roads, he said. However, changes will have to be phased in gradually, he said. Pratt said studies show that when politicians and bureaucrats are not trusted, progress slows and costs rise. “Trust is a critical economic driver,” he said. “We need new people on council to put that trust back.”

Right time for Blimkie to join municipal politics STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

There was a hectic time in Donna Blimkie’s life, in 1994, when she handled a fulltime job and commuted to Peterborough’s Trent University for two days of classes and lab work. “It was a 40-hour work week in three days, but it was worth it,” she said of the demanding schedule to complete her bachelor of science degree in chemistry. She had the whole-hearted support not only of her Arnprior employer, Pfizer, but family members, especially her husband, Gerald, with two young children at the time. About 15 years later, she says she likes the life she leads. She enjoys her job at Haley Industries where her duties include customer relations, quality control and auditing. At home in Shamrock, west of Renfrew, life is no less varied, as she helps out with her brother-in-law’s beef farm, works the family’s bush lot, enjoys family and neighbours, and remains passionate about the family’s pets, like border collie Tobey, cat Stripes, and goats Patches, Pretzel, Midnight, Licorice, Willow and Twinkle. “I love them to death. They’re like my kids,” she says with a twinkle in her eyes. She also loves working with money and problem-solving. Throw in a high dose of energy, and she says she’s ready to tackle political life. “It would give me another outlet for my bountiful energy. I do have lots of energy,” says the nearly 50-year-old Blimkie, who is accustomed to rising at 5 a.m. and not hitting the sack until 10 p.m. “Now my children are both grown up, and there are no (immediate) plans for grandchildren. I have energy and I have the time. It’s a stage in my life (I’m ready

Donna Blimkie for),” adds Blimkie, who has filed to run in Ward 3. The incumbent is Jack Kelly, who is facing Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe in the race for mayor. “It would be a good learning experience as well,” adds Blimkie, who notes she’s not easily flustered. If not easily understanding an issue, she says she’ll “step back, research it and revisit it.” Besides, she says economic times are still tough and she has experience with finances on the job and on the home front. For the next little while, Blimkie suggests economic times will remain challenging: “You are going to have to stand back and look at things harder and smarter, and maybe in different ways.” Finances are already a normal part of her life, says Blimkie, who does free tax

returns for family members, and keeps a hawk’s eye on family finances. “I love working with money,” says Blimkie, who has a record of every Blimkie household bank transaction since 1983. Meanwhile, she says there’s work to be done on a few fronts, like doctor recruitment. She’s well aware that the four local townships, including her own, are part of the Renfrew and Area Health Care Villages program that’s in the early stages of pursuing family doctors. She believes keys to that program’s success must include the ability to demonstrate to potential recruits the area’s high quality of life, and the need to nurture medical talents that come from the area and want to return to the area. “We have to promote our own talent, but not to the exclusion of other candidates,” she says. After filing her nomination papers, she offers no criticism of the current council. “For myself, I have no bones to pick with the council. They did a good job. “(Mayor) Raye-Anne Briscoe made sure Admaston-Bromley was front and centre, and got her thoughts and concerns out there, and generally reflected a lot of the residents’ opinions. They seem happy with what she’s doing.” Nevertheless, she says the fight for continued federal gas tax support in the municipality, and for broadband infrastructure improvements, must continue. “We absolutely need that,” she says of the latter. “I have snail-mail at home. If a hummingbird flies by, I’ll lose my signal.” Blimkie is the daughter of Ernie Melcher, owner of Melcher’s Heating and Cooling, where her children, Bryan and Janet, both work. She is one of two councillor-candidates in Ward 3. The other is Ray Pender.

After second term as McNab-Braeside mayor JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

Mary Campbell is running for a second term as mayor of McNab-Braeside with the hope most residents support her vision for the township as a strong independent rural municipality. To ensure McNab-Braeside survives that way, council needs to be pro-active in encouraging economic development and anticipating financial, environmental and social changes affecting it, she said. “This election is about our future. We have some hard decisions to make as a community.” Campbell, who filed her nomination papers Aug. 19, won the mayor’s chair in 2006 in her first run for public office. Her family stretches back five generations in the township. With an MBA in international marketing, Campbell has worked in business development in the high-tech sector, more recently running her family’s 100-acre beef operation in conjunction with a bed and breakfast and in-house catering service. She said she believes in the priorities expressed by ratepayers in the Vision 2027 document, including maintaining rural lifestyle and sense of community, protecting the environment, and promoting the area’s heritage. “Those are our core values ... that’s who we are,” she said. However, those values will be threatened by external forces if council doesn’t take steps to deal with them, she said. For the full story on Campbell, please visit the rural north link at yourottawaregion.com.

Corporation of the Town of Renfrew

Once again, the Town of Renfrew will be conducting drinking water sampling and testing for lead to comply with Ontario Regulations. The town is seeking volunteer test sites in single family homes, multi-unit buildings, commercial properties, and industrial properties. Under the provincial legislation, the municipality must test the drinking water for lead at 40 private residences, 4 non-private residences, between June 15, 2010 and October 15, 2010. • Tests would be performed at older residences suspected of having lead pipes or pipes with lead solder. • Homes built before the mid-1950s could have lead pipes. • Lead solder was used to join copper pipes and was phased out in the late 1980s; any new construction done after those years should not be affected by lead in the piping system. Since the Town must access homes to test for the presence of lead, we are looking for volunteers to allow the Town of Renfrew staff access to their homes to collect samples. There will be NO charge to the resident for the testing of the lead sample. Each sample will total three litres in each location and the regulations obligate the town to advise tenants of the test results as soon as they are available. The higher risk individuals affected by lead that exceeds the standards are pregnant women, infants and children under the age of 6 years old. The Town will require permission of the property owner to take the samples. If you wish to be added to the list of potential test sites please contact the Development and Works Department, Municipal Garage, Darl Gaudette at 613-432-4147. 409863

‘Noise is always going to have to be managed’ Continued from Page 3 Much has been done to minimize the impact of track noise in recent years, but the issue doesn’t have one quick solution, says Emon. He says CMP has been fined periodically for exceeding noise restrictions and the track has made improvements (including a southwest-corner berm and lowering allowable noise by a significant five decibels for motorcycle events). “Noise is always going to have to be managed,” says Emon, noting noise levels can be significantly affected by seasonal changes in humidity and foliage. At the same time, Emon says he’d like to see the township noise bylaw tightened up to better reflect changes recommended by noise expert John Coulter.

Looking to lead Continued from Page 2 Briscoe has represented her township ever since. She was elected reeve in 1997 when she defeated Allan Riddell, then shared head of council of amalgamated Admaston-Bromley for a year with Clarence McBride, before McBride retired in 2000. Briscoe was elected mayor in 2003 and 2006. This year, Briscoe says health, community support and family support are behind her decision to run for mayor again. The decision has nothing to do with projects she’s working on. “I don’t think there’s a current reeve or mayor that can’t say ‘I have a lot of things to finish.’” If something keeps her particularly buoyant about running, it’s the community response in 1998 when the famous ice storm hit. “The community that came forward at that time was an example to me,” she says. The energy and self-confidence of community members, to help others, was awesome, says Briscoe. She saw it then and last year when the Olympic Torch Relay passed through Douglas, and sees it time and time again from volunteers across the township. She says the residents are the glue that holds her community together, and she’d like to remain the leader of that esteemed community.

Charlotte’s web

Motive behind the money

rom a political standpoint, Renfrew County women have always held their own. In fact, it was Renfrew native Charlotte Whitton who became Ottawa’s first female mayor, proving long ago that leadership is not a gender-specific skill. Whitton’s story is told in a new book released by General Store Publishing House in Renfrew – Charlotte, The Last Suffragette, by Dave Mullington. Women have made great strides over the past century – a century when, early on, they weren’t even recognized as persons and didn’t have the right to vote. Locally, Renfrew’s first woman councillor, Katie Miller, carved a path for other women to follow, including current members of council Mayor Sandi Heins, Reeve Audrey Green and councillors Gail Cole and Kate Windle. That’s four of seven positions at the council table. And the influence of women on politics doesn’t stop there. Our neighbouring council in Admaston-Bromley is led by Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe and the Township of McNab-Braeside is overseen by Mary Campbell. What about upper-tier government? At the Renfrew County level, former warden Janice Visneskie proved a woman can effectively steer that ship. And although men have secured a foothold on the provincial political landscape in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, we are represented federally by Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant. As we approach Women’s Month celebrations in October, this new book reminds us how a feisty Renfrew girl set the stage for so many women to pursue their dream of community service.

LETTERS

Assessing the impact of crown land grant patents To the editor: Now that the news about the crown land grant patents is becoming common knowledge, it is time to ask the question: What does this mean as far as governance is concerned? And it is a very good question indeed. These documents compel all levels of government to come to grips with the new reality in spite of the internal resistance to do so as indicated by several local mayors who have said that these change nothing, it is business as usual. Unfortunately for those who think that way, that is simply not the case. So what must be done now that “business as usual” is no longer possible? In other words what are a council and mayor to do? The answer is twofold. First, they must go back through their records to the founding of the original township and examine each appropriation made between then and now and make sure each one was done fairly and those who had their land expropriated properly were paid fair

market value for that land at the time. If things where done correctly, then all is well, but if not, the council has to decide to either give the land back to family who had the land expropriated, or they must settle with that family financially. To cut to the chase, either give it back or buy it. If your family was affected by an expropriation it behooves you to search your own records to find out how things were done and if there is any doubt about the proceedings at the time, it would be well worth your while to bring it to your municipal government’s attention and encourage them to help rectify any issues that may be unresolved from that expropriation. The other thing on the agenda is that council must go through their bylaws and land regulations to make sure they only apply to public or crown land. They must also inform upper levels of government that they cannot enforce any existing or as yet to be promulgated regulations or legislation that contravenes

Mercury Mercur y The Renfrew

the rights of private property owners as spelled out in the land grant patents. The new buzz phrase that must be carved into the walls of every town hall is “If you don’t own it, you can’t plan for it.” I can understand the feeling of having an atom bomb dropped into the laps of our politicians over this issue, but that is what they are paid for. Now it is up to them to do the right thing, even at this late date, and it is up to us to insist that they do. If they simply refuse, then they need to be replaced at the next election cycle with those who will do the right thing. The best result of all out of this is that the government at every level will soon be so busy with sorting this out and dealing with the fallout, that they won’t have time to come up with more rules and regulations for us to live by. And that, my friends, is a very good bit of news. Nick Vandergragt Killaloe

To the editor: The Renfrew Mercury of Aug. 19 outlined that our company, George Jackson Toyota, had allocated $5000 in funds (or $500 per candidate) for any eligible citizen running for Renfrew Town Council. Our only stipulation to this offer is that the candidate is not an incumbent; this monetary support is for new candidates. In recent press coverage, the Renfrew Mercury has revisited our election contribution offer. We would like to take this opportunity to reclarify the motive of our actions. Please recognize that we are in a democratic society, we have broken no laws with our contributions and we have been completely transparent with this offer. Our motive is to provide opportunity for change. The reason that Renfrew needs change is based upon the following statements: 1. The current council could communicate better. 2. The commercial and recreational base should be expanded. 3. There should be fewer in-camera (closed) sessions of council. 4. The concern with the continued population decline of Renfrew. 5. The current council leadership should be changed. 6. The current council is dysfunctional. The above six statements are not brought forward by the La Rocques… but by the current council members seeking reelection. As concerned ratepayers upon reviewing their statements, it is obvious by this council’s own admission, their performance was lacking over the last four years. There were several issues, including our own development during the last term that were poorly resolved. This is a frightening fact when you take into consideration that this is an experienced multi-termed council. Therefore, we have stepped forward and are encouraging change … for the better. We are not seeking favours or special consideration from the new candidates we are supporting. To the good people of Renfrew, we are simply trying to improve our municipal governance ... but the final outcome is in your hands. Respectfully, David La Rocque and Warren La Rocque

Doering looks to continue passionate connection to education It appears veteran trustee Marjorie Doering of Horton Township will be acclaimed to her position on the Renfrew County District School Board. In fact, all of the board’s eight trustees may be acclaimed, in the absence of any other trustee-candidates. The only incumbent not to have filed at the start of this week was board chairman Roy Reiche of Pembroke. “When I started (as a trustee), kids were actually failing kindergarten,” said Doering, who estimates she has served about 20 years as a trustee. During that time, she says the booster program has helped struggling kindergarten students, to the point that the program has been provincially recognized for innovation and strong data. “We’re having fabulous results. Students in Grade 1 and 2 are not always coming up to expectations, but some are surpassing those expectations by the time they leave the program.” “I have seen some wonderful changes,” said Doering. “Children are getting assistance early so they don’t fail, and so they have high esteem. If they have high esteem, they’ll take more risks and are more likely to succeed.”

Marjorie Doering In recent times, the local school boards have faced such difficulties as deficits in transportation and special education. Whatever the challenge, though, Doering says it’s no wonder she’s back seeking another four-year term. “You never seemed finished, you’re always entering into something new and exciting,” said Doering. Like the new Grade 7 and 8 program at Renfrew Collegiate Intermediate School, which is being housed in the same building as the students for Renfrew Collegiate Institute. Some of the new programming in place for the Grade 7 and 8s is exciting, says Doering. It’s part a possible revolution in education, with fewer buildings and more

children, six grandchildren in the school system, and a daughter who is a school-support counsellor, Doering feels she has a good pulse on what’s happening to local education. “It just seems it was the normal thing to do,” said Doering of running again. “I’m still interested in kids.” She’s particularly keen about her involvement with the public board’s character development committee.

Pennock seeks Ward 3 spot in Greater Madawaska A pre-amalgamation member of the former Griffith and Matawatchan council is seeking to oust Karin Lehnhardt as representative of Ward 3 on Greater Madawaska council. Allan Pennock, who served on Griffith and Matawatchan council for two terms in the late 1980s and early 1990s, filed his nomination papers last week. Pennock, who is a cousin of former Greater Madawaska council member Eldon Pennock, says his ward is not getting enough benefits from amalgamation. He suggested he doesn’t differ much from Lehnhardt on issues, but more on approach. “I think I’d have a little louder voice,” he said. Pennock said council needs to be reminded it should be making decisions best for the whole township, not just the lower end. “They need to better spread the funding, spread the programs around,” he said. He said councillors should also be more forceful in lobbying the county to fix its roads in the township. See PENNOCK, Page 8

“If the savings are there, it will happen. But if they aren’t, that tells you don’t disrupt the community (with implementation).” Nor does Doering see it as an election issue. “I think people who run strictly for an issue find that’s a mistake,” explained Doering, who knows a thing of two about elections, including husband John’s time as past reeve of Horton Township. With seven adult-age

students in those schools. Other examples are the anticipated schools for kindergarten through Grade 12 in Deep River and Petawawa. Whatever the school sizes, challenges remain for trustees. “I don’t care who runs; we’ve all had transportation cutbacks,” said Doering of the staggered-bells system that has come to Arnprior- and Renfrewarea schools for the first time, after last year’s pilot for schools around Pembroke, Petawawa and Deep River. “We had no choice in this matter. The issue is to make it work and make it work well. I know it’s a challenge to parents and families. If we had our way, it wouldn’t have happened,” said Doering, who like many trustees says the provincial government made certain funding incentives available only if boards adopted the staggered-bells system. Whether it comes to the remaining (rural) areas remains to be seen, she notes.

McNab-Braeside councillor takes a straight-forward approach JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

Aldene Styles would like another chance to serve McNabBraeside residents on township council. Styles has filed to run for councillor, a position she held from 2003 to 2006 before she was defeated by Elmer Raycroft in the contest for deputy mayor. “I enjoyed it last time and people are asking me if I am running,” she said, adding she would like to put experience gained last time to good use. “I feel I can bring an honest and straight-forward approach to council business,” said the retired Registered Nurse. “With me, what you see is what you get … I will represent all residents equally and fairly. I have no agenda.” Styles said she can draw on nursing and management experience to work co-operatively and realistically when it comes to adhering to guidelines. Styles said the township needs to encourage residential and business growth, but first has to have the proper infrastructure in place to accommodate it. “You have to have your ducks in a row,” she said, adding that to do otherwise would impose a fiscal burden on township ratepayers. “You have to be fiscally accountable and growth has to be sustainable.” McNab-Braeside is predominantly a farming community and council must ensure residents don’t feel overwhelmed by

change, she said. “I’m in favour of keeping the (rural) flavour we already have.” One of her goals is to encourage affordable housing for seniors. “It would be nice if they (seniors) had the option of staying in the township,” she said. Styles said council must work together to be efficient and effective. “Teamwork with a capital T,” she said, adding she feels she

Marilyn Tilley is a self-described ‘brand new’ candidate. When the White Lake resident filed papers to run for McNab-Braeside council Aug. 27, it was the first time she has aspired to political office. “I feel I’d like to give something back,” she said of her sudden decision to run for council. Tilley grew up in White Lake, where her father, Richard, ran the popular T-Bell resort, bar and campground. After moving away for a time, the optician moved back to White Lake with her husband, Vern Orlik, and is working at

Instead of fixing the worst portion of Matawatchan Road first, the county is leaving it to last, Pennock added. “We need to fight harder for it (improvement).” Pennock said seasonal residents also deserve more attention from council, especially when it comes to servicing their roads. He said council hasn’t taken full advantage of the township’s potential with its beautiful scenery, historical values and great people. There’s a feeling throughout township that wholesale change is needed on council, he maintained. Pennock was raised in Matawatchan and came back to live on the family homestead in 1977. He is a retired ambulance communications officer.

had a good working relationship with councillors and staff in her first term. Councillors on the losing side of a vote must move on and join with the others in a united front for the good of the township, she said. “Don’t fight old battles.” Councillors should also be prepared to co-operate with other politicians and ministry officials, Styles said. “You can’t rub them the wrong way and expect they will help you out.” Styles grew up in Lochwinnoch and has lived in McNabBraeside for 40 years, raising a family of three with her husband, the former fire chief of the township. Prior to her council term, she was the health liaison on the township’s emergency preparedness committee. When on council, she chaired the recreation committee and is proud of the progress made developing the CN trail and adding parking at the Waba Museum. “There was a satisfaction and pride in seeing those projects go ahead,” just as there was to seeing new subdivisions develop and roads upgraded, she said.

Three students will be busy at Admaston-Bromley landfill sites during September, promoting the township’s RecycleReuse-Reduce initiative. The students will be working every Sat-

urday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the three landfill sites – Douglas, Osceola and Stone Road. The township says their role will be to “promote and renew interest in this eco-friendly activity.” Sam Buttle (Douglas), Christy Hiderman (Stone Road) and Greg Turcotte (Osceola) will be on hand to encourage re-

cycling and fill in ballots for free draws. “Council and municipal staff challenges you to be RRRated,” says a township brochure, referring to the reduce, re-use, recycle theme. Every full blue box residents bring to the waste/recycling station entitles them to enter a ballot for a draw that will take

place at council’s Thursday, Oct. 7 meeting. Three prizes will be awarded. As the township proclaims, the draw is “just one more great reason to recycle.” The operating cost for solid waste disposal in Admaston Township is $147.55 per household. The cost for recycling is $9.96 per household.

Admaston-Bromley mayor to write PM regarding designation LUCY HASS lucy.hass@metroland.copm

STUMBLING BLOCK Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, represented by Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant, is the only riding that has not signed on to support the designation. The designation could have a strong beneficial impact on communities along the Ottawa River, from Haileybury to Ottawa, especially in strengthening the tourism draw of the river and its tributaries. As the committee contends, it’s a branding issue. Aboriginal communities are also staunch supports of the designation. The heritage designation committee hopes the status will be achieved during the lifetime of its honorary chairman, elder William Commanda (Kitigan Zibi). As Graham says, “The First Nations involvement has been intensive.” Timelines are a tricky thing, especially as Renfrew County approaches its 150th anniversary in 2011 and would love to make the heritage designation part of that landmark not celebration.

Thus the push to approach the Prime Minister’s Office for movement on the heritage sign-off. As chairman Graham noted last Friday afternoon, the Ottawa River is overseen by the federal ministry of Parks Canada, and the process is pretty daunting. There are rules and regulations to fulfill along the way, and the committee is committed to progress.

Idol competition schedule struck The organizing committee of Renfrew County Idol invites all residents of the County of Renfrew to step up to the microphone. The county-wide competition to see who will emerge as the Renfrew County Idol is part of Expo 150 celebration June 9 to 12, 2011 at the Pembroke Regional Airport. There will be three age categories, with cash prizes and bigticket items for the winners. The Renfrew County Idol booth will be on display at the Renfrew Fair this weekend. Mayor Raye Anne Briscoe, chair of the idol committee, encourages everyone to come out as either a contestant or supporter. “We will be holding preliminary competitions in seven communities around the county. Our judges will include one from all three local radio stations and two professional judges who will grade the participants on their individual talent,” she explained. “I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the County of Renfrew than having our residents in all parts of the county showcase their talent,” Briscoe said. Applications, along with rules and regulations, are available

Even the wording for any commemorative plaque is complete, along with Algonquin transition. But meanwhile, they wait. And spread the message when and where they can.

If rivers are the veins of Mother Earth, one local river is getting important infusion of support from one of its host communities. Ottawa River heritage designation has received the unanimous support of Admaston-Bromley council. The Bonnechere River – a tributary of the Ottawa – runs through the rural township, and its council members appreciate its importance on so many levels. Now Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe will write a letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper stating that point. The letter will on the next agenda of council for its Sept. 16 regular meeting. Last Thursday night Ottawa River Heritage Designation committee chairman Larry Graham and member Fred Blackstein attended Admaston-Bromley council, at the municipality’s request, to update the elected officials on the designation process initiated years ago by former Liberal MP, the late Len Hopkins. Their presentation was comprehensive in tracing the river’s history from the Ice Age to present. “You could feel the pulse of the river,” Mayor Briscoe said after

the meeting. Briscoe has been an active proponent of the designation at the county level, along with Petawawa mayor and former county warden Bob Sweet.

Evans watches, listens and enters town council race STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Andrew Evans, who moved to Renfrew five years ago, says there’s a lot to like about his new home, and he’d like to help keep it that way. Energetic and employed in a highly-competitive business, he says the people of Renfrew want a change on council. And Evans, who’s among a small handful of first-time candidates, says he has something to offer. Having worked on federal and provincial election campaigns for Conservative party candidates, the 46-year-old says: “It’s time. It’s a proper marriage right now. “The people of the town are looking for a change. You hear that. It’s word on the street, and it’s written in your papers. From what I understand, what I’m hearing, they’re actively looking for new faces, a new council.” Asked to assess the present council, he pauses before replying: “I’m not here to make enemies, but the council is elected by the town, and if the town’s not happy they have a democratic right to make a change.”

Born in Niagara Falls, he moved to Ottawa as an infant, and lived most of his life there. Moving to Renfrew five years ago was the right move, he says. It’s not far from the city centre, it’s peaceful and friendly, and the air is cleaner, he says. A mortgage agent with Syndicate Mortgage Inc., he ran his own wireless network technology company from 1999 to 2009. “I’m responsible for making dreams come true and make nightmares go away,” he says of work with a mortgage brokerage company that specializes in residential, commercial and construction financing. “As an agent, our responsibilities are to fit clients to payment schedules they can afford or to consolidate their debt. I understand economics,” explains Evans. “I understand the plight some of these people are under, especially if industry starts to leave town. We have to bring in industry and develop that end of town. We welcome federal and provincial money, but at the same time this town has to start feeding itself.” After all, a big responsibility

ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION RENFREW BRANCH

Andrew Evans of council is to encourage new development and recruit industry, he says. “We don’t want to see the TeleTechs (with 329 jobs) leaving this town,” he says of the call-centre that operated in town from May 2006 to February 2009. After being here much longer than three years, George Jackson Toyota is also leaving town. Evans’s brief assessment of that situation is: “If the Town of Ren-

frew has done everything possible for this valuable employer and they also represented the community the best they could, then their decision is that.” Admitting he doesn’t know the full facts, he says residents have certainly taken sides. Whether it’s with George Jackson Toyota or other situations, Evans adds, “I’d hate to see mudslinging going on. It doesn’t really get much done. I’m not really one for more debate, but for more discussion.” In seeking election, Evans says he offers fairness, integrity, open-mindedness, energy, a hard-working attitude, his financial background, and some political experience. He worked for Cheryl Gallant during the last election, when she was re-elected, and for Richard Raymond. He tried to unseat Premier Dalton McGuinty and return Ottawa-South to the Conservatives, who held the riding from 1926 to 1987. Evans was deputy campaign manager as Raymond picked up 14,151 votes, second to McGuinty’s 23,850. “I loved it because I thought we were working for the good (of the people),” said Evans.

Meanwhile, Evans says important town issues include the need for more recreational facilities, especially for youth. However, he says the biggest items on the master plan’s wish list (namely the pool and second ice pad) won’t happen unless there’s a bigger tax base. To help realize those dreams, Evans would like the town to do a better job marketing and promoting itself, close to home but especially outside the Ottawa Valley. “I think everyone in the Valley knows where we are, but we have to entice new commerce and new trade relations.” Referring to the sign that tells visitors Renfrew is a friendly, affordable place to be, Evans says: “It’s definitely a friendly, affordable place to be, but I’d like to add the word ‘expanding’ in there.” Evans, who is single, enjoys his pet dog and leads an active lifestyle that includes golf and water sports. He’s also a former field lacrosse player with a college-prep school near Buffalo after attending Ottawa’s Ashbury College for junior school.

DOWNTOWN ART Students Brittany Berry and John Andrews work to complete a mural at Renfrew Pizzeria. Berry’s concept, which covers the left wall of the entrance to the Renfrew business, is an early-1900s rendition of downtown Renfrew and the nearby countryside. Renfrew Pizzeria owners Julie and Don Rodgers say the murals seen on some buildings in Ottawa and Pembroke are a positive addition to any downtown core.

BOOKS

Retired teacher launches fourth book Sept. 13 Showers of dried peas in the classroom, UFOs, a minister’s embarrassing experience at a drive-through bank window, a lost mate, centrifugal force in the high school shop, and a black bear birthday guest are just a few of the focal points in the 50 true tales in Heather Campbell’s latest book, Sunny Side Up. Campbell retired from teaching in 1995 and has been actively pursuing her writing passion ever since. Her first book, The Show Must Go On, which focused mainly on her parents and her early life in Coe Hill, Ont., was released in 2003. That was followed in 2004 by her collection of true tales Dear Hearts and Gentle People. Then, in 2008, as her readers asked for more, Because You Asked, another collection of true tales, was published. Campbell is a member of the Canadian Authors Association, as well as chairing The Henscratchers, a writers’ group in the Whitewater area. She also writes a weekly column for the Bancroft Times entitled Heath-

er’s Musings. If you don’t find her at her writing desk, she may be at her cottage on the Ottawa or practising the choir at Trinity United Church in Foresters Falls where she is the organist or at Country Haven helping with the craft group known as Molly’s Gang. Much time this past year was also devoted to co-editing with Grace Stephen the book, Beachburg – A Rich Heritage, released on July 24 with the profits going to Beachburg Agricultural Society. Be part of Campbell’s launch. Bring your friends and join her any time between 1:15 and 3:30 p.m. for readings, relaxation, autographing, and light refreshments at Beachburg’s Country Haven seniors’ residence on Monday, Sept. 13. You may know some of the characters in her stories and you’ll certainly be able to identify with some of the experiences. You’ll be guaranteed a laugh or two, life’s best medicine. You can learn more at www. hfcamp.com or contact Campbell in Beachburg at 613-582-3257.

Focus on Charlotte Whitton Passionate, controversial, a trailblazer. Charlotte Whitton was all of these, which Ottawa native, Dave Mullington, has captured in his lively biography of the Renfrew native. Charlotte - The Last Suffragette. As Canada’s woman newsmaker of the year six times during the 1950s and ’60s, Whitton made headlines regularly as mayor of Ottawa. But she was no stranger to the spotlight. Prior to becoming the first female mayor of a Canadian city in 1961, Whitton had already made an international name for herself as a driving force in the developing field of social welfare. Born in Renfrew and educated at Queen’s University, where she excelled at academics, athletics and journalism, Whitton joined the Canadian Council for Child Welfare (now the Canadian Council on Social Development) in 1920, transforming it into the focal point for child welfare advocacy and social work professionalism. She launched investigations into welfare services across Canada, lobbied for the protection of juvenile immigrants and fought for higher standards of

The cover of Charlotte - The Last Suffragette. foster care. During the Depression, she was a key adviser on unemployment relief policy for Prime Ministers R.B. Bennett and Mackenzie King. A determined feminist, Whitton has often been credited with saying, “Whatever women do, they must do twice as well as men

to be half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult.” It was this attitude that propelled her from humble beginnings in the Ottawa Valley to become advisor and combatant of legislators and policy makers, at home and around the world. As a retired journalist and the author of Chain of Office: Biographical Sketches of the Early Mayors of Ottawa (1847-1948), it was only natural that David Mullington would turn to Charlotte Whitton as the topic of his second book. He never met Whitton, but remembers as a boy his mother’s enthusiastic support for the outspoken advocate. Like many women in Ottawa during the 1950s, Mrs. Mullington campaigned for Whitton, promoting her whenever she could, whether it was on the phone or across the bridge table. Charlotte Whitton has recently been nominated as a person of national significant interest, sparking much discussion and controversy. Whitton would expect nothing else. Charlotte - The Last Suffragette is published by General Store Publishing House in Renfrew and retails for $30.

Renfrew County public health nurses Theresa Mann, at left, and Jaclyn VanEsbroeck, at right, met with Renfrew parks and recreation director Kelley Whitman-McKie to present new signs for parks across the community. Mercury photo by Lucy Hass

New signs for smoke-free parks and playing fields in Renfrew Children deserve to breathe clean air whether they are playing at the local park or running on the soccer field. The Renfrew County and District Health Unit is supporting the need for tobacco free spaces by providing all weather signs to municipalities who requested them. The signs ask people to not smoke around playgrounds and/or playing fields. Encouraging tobacco-free sports and recreation is part of the Play, Live, Be Tobacco-Free initiative funded through The Ministry of Health Promotion. Outdoor parks and recreational spaces play an important role in the health and well-being of our communities. The health benefits gained by participating in sport and recreational activities are counteracted when children are exposed to tobacco industry products. Smoking slows lung growth, decreases lung function, and reduces the oxygen available for muscles to use in sport and recreation. Tobacco-free sports and recreation means that everyone involved in a sports and recreational activity does not use tobacco industry products. Participants, parents, coaches, leaders, officials and spectators do not smoke, snuff, dip or chew tobacco while engaged in sport and recreation.

Tobacco-free playgrounds and playing fields provide an environment that is safe and healthy for children to play and be active. Children see positive role modeling and receive the same tobacco-free messages at their local sport or recreation activity as they experience at school and in the wider community. The Renfrew County and District Health Unit encourages and supports local municipalities and the many sport and recreation organizations to develop tobacco-free policies and create tobaccofree zones so everyone can enjoy clean air and good health. Play, Live, Be Tobacco-Free Sport and Recreation is an Ontario-based movement that promotes healthy tobacco-free activity. The movement is a collaboration of public health, sport and non profit organizations that support local, regional and provincial decision-makers in developing tobacco-free policies in sport and recreation environments. Tobacco free sport and recreation means that participants, coaches, parents and spectators, leaders and officials refrain from using tobacco industry products in any form, while involved in sport and recreation activity.

A BANNER CONTRIBUTION Tanya Campbell, representing Renfrew’s Terry Fox Run, shows off the new banner advertising the run, along with Greg MacKenzie (left) and Norman Vaile. Vaile, of Vaile Construction, has kindly donated the banner in memory of his wife, Kimberly Shalla-Vaile, who lost her life to cancer last year. Greg MacKenzie, of MacKenzie Motors has offered to display the banner to promote the run. In addition, in response to organizers’ goal of having 30 teams to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Terry Fox Run, Kimberly’s former colleagues from the Renfrew County District Health Unit are entering a team in this year’s Terry Fox Run in her memory.

A celebration of thirty runs, immeasurable hope

Hundreds of thousands of people across Ontario are expected to participate in the 30th annual The Terry Fox Run on Sunday, Sept. 19, marking a milestone anniversary year for the foundation that bears Terry’s name. In 2009, Ontarians donated $10.5 million to cancer research through participating in Terry Fox events. In the early days of The Marathon of Hope in 1980, Terry was an unknown runner, and raising money was tough. Now 30

years later, Canadians face their own fundraising challenges with an economy that has been battered. But what matters most today, what compelled Terry to finish that 26th mile every day, is the knowledge that nothing is tougher to deal with than a diagnosis of cancer, devastating news delivered to 455 Canadians every day. It was in the face of this kind of adversity that Terry formed his indomitable spirit.

Every one of the 220 Terry Fox Runs in Ontario reflect that same spirit, immersed with a sense of hope that inspires and motivates every participant. Terry Foxers are asked to contribute what they can, keeping in mind that Terry was all about the effort, about taking himself to the limit for the cause, and about bringing an end to cancer. The Terry Fox Run empowers each and every one of us to make a difference, following Terry’s lead.

The Renfrew Mercury - September 9, 2010

Local families are benefiting from a new partnership that delivers specialized health care for children through an RVH outpatient clinic. Dr. Anne Rowan-Legg specializes in pediatric medicine and makes the trip from Ottawa to Renfrew twice each month to see young patients on a referral basis. After working some time at CHEO, she noticed that many families were traveling there from Renfrew and the surrounding areas. “I thought it would be beneficial for me to go closer to them,” says Dr. Rowan-Legg. She had worked in smaller communities in the past and missed that intimate connection with her patients. Her proposal for an outreach clinic was timely. “That happened to be one of the big objectives for CHEO at the time,” she says, adding that Renfrew was a good match. Dr. Rowan-Legg feels it’s been a perfect match for her as well.

“I like seeing people locally, there’s something about hearing their experiences and talking about how they live and work nearby that is somehow comforting to them,” she says. “I notice they’re a bit more relaxed here too.” She completed her residency at Dalhousie University and worked in smaller hospitals in Cape Breton before moving back to her hometown of Ottawa, so in many ways she feels at home in a rural setting. “I love it,” she admits about commuting to her patients in Renfrew. “In fact, I look forward to it.” “It’s a gorgeous place,” she adds. It seems local parents are equally pleased with this clinic. “The families are ultra-appreciative,” she says. The partnership with RVH is a win-win situation. Local family physicians are able to refer young patients to Dr. Rowan-Legg for her expertise when needed and often save the travel time in to CHEO.

Many of the youngsters she sees are For general sicknesses and colds, the premature babies, or babies or young pediatrician emphasizes the need to children who aren’t gaining weight, have properly wash hands or use hand sanitizer asthma conditions or other health or to prevent the spread of germs. developmental concerns. And for parents of teenagers, she offers “There’s a wide range of issues and sound non-medical advice: “The most ages,” she says. valuable thing to do is keep in touch with Dr. Rowan-Legg is already extending your kids. Talk to them about their friends her partnership with the area’s family and what they’re up to. There’s a lot going doctors to include her network in Ottawa. on in that age group and communication is She’s been able to bring residents working so important.” with her at CHEO to her Renfrew clinics, introducing these soon-tobe physicians to a community in need of medical professionals. Her hope is to become more involved and give back to the RVH team by hosting education sessions dealing with relevant topics for the staff in the future. She realizes how important it is to work closely with the emergency room doctors since they follow the same protocols as CHEO. We asked Dr. Rowan-Legg for her top safety tips as children head back to school. “The big one is how important it is to wear a helmet. Head injuries are a real risk and a preventable one at that. “It’s great to see all the kids outside playing and riding around, but they can’t forget to wear a helmet.” Dr. Anne Rowan-Legg 367966

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.

SPORTS

T. Williams pulls mixed crown away from defending champions PETER CLARK

peter.clark@metroland.com

After handing league-leading and defending league champion Barker’s Collision Centre its only regular-season loss in game two of a doubleheader July 22, T. Williams Plumbing and Heating entered the 2010 Ma-Te-Way Mixed Slo Pitch League final with confidence on their side. A pair of dramatic wins Aug. 29 pushed the plumbing shop to a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five championship series, and last Thursday night the sweep became complete. Buoyed by the home-run bats of Randy Smith and pitcher Matt Stewart, T. Williams overcame an early 7-3 deficit to

impound the Collision Centre 17-8 before a good gathering at the Rusheleau Diamond. A four-run fifth inning, backed by a fiverun sixth, turned the game around for T. Williams. Stewart, who yielded early round-trippers from the Barker’s bats of Stephane Lapensee and Jon Vanderploeg, allowed only a single tally over the final three innings to nail down the title. Chad Barker nicked Stewart for a solo shot in the sixth frame. Smith finished the game with three hits off Barker’s chucker Mike McMahon. Coach/manager Doug Visneskie arrived on the scene in time for the playoff drive and T. Williams never looked back. - With files from Jeff Rekowski

Renfrew Golf Club runners-up at 2010 Gordon Cup PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

The Renfrew Golf Club seldom goes two years in a row often without etching its name on the prestigious Gordon Cup. But for the second consecutive year, Renfrew finished second in this year’s 81st Gordon Cup, contested annually over two days on Labour Day Weekend. The Saturday-Sunday event was hosted this year by the Deep River Golf Club. Fourteen players from each of five competing Valley clubs take to the course over 36 holes with the top 12 scores from each of the two days counting to the final total. Arnprior claimed the 2010 title with a 36-hole total of 1,833, which bettered Renfrew’s 1,867 tally by 34 shots. The local squad had won 17 of the previous 22 Gordon Cup tournaments. Deep River at 1,883, defending Cup champion Pembroke 1,894 and Missis-

sippi at 1,907, completed the five-team scoreboard. Rob Warren made individual history by competing in his 40th Gordon Cup, becoming the first player to do so. Rick Smith also made this year’s Renfrew team, which gave him 36 appearances. Pembroke’s Phil Hermitte has now played in 34 Gordon Cups. Arnprior’s Glenn Buder, Gordon Cup custodian, participated on 35 occasions. The weather forced the 2010 Gordon Cup to be played under the coolest conditions in 60 years. Renfrew results: Rob Warren 70-71141, Dwight Reinhart 70-72-142, Stephen Dowd 74-72-146, George Norlock 74-75149, Jason Allen 76-77-153, Steve Mulvihill 78-83-161, Tanner Desilets 82-80-162, Rick Smith 80-82-162, Benny Allen 85-77162, Chris Bradley 81-83-164, Rick Troutman 81-85-166, Andy Oliver 88-78-166, Keith Schwartz 86-85-171 and Paul Wren 91-90-171. Mississippi will host the 2011 Gordon Cup.

Wolves open regular season on Sunday PETER CLARK

peter.clark@metroland.com

The puck drops on another Eastern Ontario Junior B Hockey League season this Sunday evening at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. The Renfrew Timberwolves get an early measuring stick on how things might stack up as they take on the Valley Division’s best right off the bat. Coach Cal Smith’s official opening game at the helm is when the Wolves challenge the defending division champion Perth

Blue Wings at 7 p.m. Perth swept the Wolves in last spring’s Valley Division final. However, the Renfrew club took some great strides of improvement after a dismal previous (2008-09) season. The Wolves finished third and toppled the Arnprior Packers in six games in the opening round of the 2090-10 playoffs. Results of preseason games wash away quickly, which for the Wolves, isn’t a bad Renfrew’s Isabell Wilson, as part of Team Ontario, brought home two medals from the thing.

AND LESLEY MURRAY From the Ladies Tee

The 77th O’Brien Cup was played Aug. 28 under sunny skies in Pembroke. The Renfrew Golf Club finished fourth in the event represented by the 12 players in the photo. The team wishes Karen Audette a speedy recovery. She qualified to play in the O’Brien Cup, but due to a shoulder injury was unable to play. Renfrew’s fourth-place score was 935. Congratulations to Pembroke who won the cup with a total of 896. Mississippi finished second at 908, followed by Arnprior at 910. Petawawa placed fifth at 1,014, while Deep River was sixth in 1,015. Congratulations are in order to Anne MacNeil, whose 85 was the day’s fourth low gross. The team would also like to thank their caddies for their support. The day would not have been the same without them. LADIES DAYS On Aug. 31 at the Renfrew Golf Club, 26 ladies braved another hot Tuesday, with temperatures in the upper 20s. Many thanks to our sponsor, State Farm Insurance of Renfrew.

GOLF FOR THE CURE RAISES $2,554 The Renfrew Golf Club had its most successful fun night on Tuesday, Aug. 21. The theme of the evening was Golf Fore the Cure, as 138 ladies attended! We had some wonderful sponsors: Pyramid Manufacturing, KCE Construction and Phoenix Network, which are all based in Ottawa. We also had numerous donations for prizes from fellow golfers as well as from the Bank of Montreal in Ottawa, Investors Group (Pembroke–Ken Bertrand), Nancy Lopez/Precept, Corona Light, and Subaru. Carla Pilatske of Silpada Jewellry. Massage therapist Isabelle Fraser donated two door prizes and fellow golfers donated three other door prizes. Five holes were sponsored in memory of Nancy Curry, Suzanne McGuire, Diane Hewitt, Mary Lacroix and Barb Hill. One hole was sponsored for all those who are undergoing treatment; one hole was sponsored in memory of all our friends who have lost their fight to cancer. We had some special contests, and our Babes of the Beach, sponsored by Corona Light, were Karen Oostendarp, Lois Shubaly, Gail M. Mooney, and Jackie Guilbeault. They won this awesome prize by virtue of having the most shots in the sand traps! Marilyn Simmons won closest to the pin on the fourth hole. Closest to the pin on the 14th was Cindy Lacroix and closest on 11 was Maxine Lapierre. Laura Culligan was closest to the line on No. 5. Anne MacNeil, Laurie Millar, Kaia Paddock and Donna Barr were winners of the low-score-of-the-day prize, donated by Frank’s Building Supplies. The most important winner, however, was the Golf Fore the Cure program. We raised $1,984. We will add the $570 raised at the Spring Fashion Show, for a total of $2,554. This money will be used for breast cancer support programs in our area. A great night for a great cause. Thank you so much to our sponsors and donors.

September 9, 2010 - The Renfrew Mercury

SPORTS

Moochie, rider seeking success in international para-dressage Lynn Burgess of Bonnie Loch Acres knows how important it is to work hard and be honest when it comes to the horse business in the Ottawa Valley. Her work ethic and efforts to provide top quality horses to elite coaches and stables has opened yet another door to an amazing opportunity for one of her favourite horses – Pickpocket – or, as everyone at Bonnie Loch Acres knows him, Moochie. Moochie is a 10-year-old grey thoroughbred gelding that Burgess has owned and competed with for four years. Recently, Burgess was contacted by a member of Equine Canada’s Para Equestrian Committee to see if Moochie was available for the 2010 summer show season. They were looking to match a para-dressage rider, who was getting back into the dressage saddle, after a number of years off, with a kind, quiet horse.

Para-dressage discipline provides riders with physical disabilities with the opportunity to compete in high-performance equestrian sport alongside ablebodied riders. Para-dressage will be included for the first time in the World Equestrian Games this year. The games run Sept. 25 to Oct. 10 in Lexington, Kentucky. The paradressage component takes place Oct. 5-10. Moochie has been paired with Lynn Shanahan of the Peterborough area, where they have begun their competitive training program under the supervision and coaching of international Grand Prix dressage rider and clinician Eddo Hoekstra. Hoekstra Dressage Inc. is a top-level dressage centre in Peterborough fully devoted to dressage as a sport and an art. Hoekstra is a world-renowned clinician and dressage rider who travels internationally to offer

clinics, teaching and training. While Shanahan knows she will not qualify for this year’s World Equestrian Games in Kentucky, her goal for 2010 is to win the provincial championship’s gold in dressage this month. She is thrilled with Moochie and, despite rheumatoid arthritis that limits the use of her hands and neck, she plans on working hard to reach her goal of winning the gold-level championship. Shanahan has been fortunate to obtain funding through a sponsor who is supporting her dream every financial step of the way. Burgess owns and operates Bonnie Loch Acres on Lochwinnoch Road. To learn more about her facility, visit www.bonnielochacres. com. For more about para-dressage, visit the Equine Canada website of www.equinecanada.ca.

Quarterfinal sweeps in slo pitch PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

Zig Zag will meet defending league champion Scheel Communications in the second round of the 2010 Ma-Te-Way Men’s Slo Pitch League playoffs, while Ottawa Valley Glass will take on regular-season champ ProTyre. Zig Zag completed a threegame opening-series sweep of Aikenhead’s Drug Store on the strength of a 16-13 win last Wednesday night. Troy Thibeault and Jason Vincent homered in support of winning pitcher Kent Scerba. Vincent finished the night with five hits. Mark Simons, Sean O’Reilly and Brian Vanderploeg added four. Steve Leclaire’s five-hit night for Aikenhead’s included a home run. Shawn Scheuneman. Adam Vanderwal took the loss.

Wolves From Page 20 The Renfrew club iced a lineup dominated by rookies and dropped an 84 decision to the Pontiac Juniors in a game played at the Silver Dart Arena in Petawawa Aug. 28. Stittsville scored all six of its goals in the middle period in a 6-4 win over the Wolves Sept. 2 at the MAC. Ryan Cuthill, Jesse Riopelle, Brady Clouthier and Jordan Welk were Renfrew goalgetters. Zach McIntyre and Blake Schwartz shared Wolves goaltending duties. On Sept. 4 at Stittsville, the Royals scored three goals during a sevenminute powerplay sentence to break open a 2-1 lead en route to a 5-1 triumph in a second meeting of the two teams. The Wolves met Shawville this past Tuesday night at the MAC to complete a four-game slate of preseason games.

Ottawa Valley Glass swept Renfrew Pizzeria-Legion 21-6, 1613 and 18-6 to advance. Winning pitcher Kerry Papineau, Barry Bennett and Rob Essiambre had three hits in game one for OVG. Sean Smith (home run) and Steve Osipenko had four hits in game two. Jeremy Scobie’s tworun single highlighted a four-run seventh inning. Cory Aucoin had six hits in the doubleheader and Jordan Mahusky three hits in game one for Pizzeria-Legion. Shane Lambert had a threerun homer, and Osipenko collected four hits and Bennett three as OVG clinched the series Monday evening. Essiambre earned the win. Brett Gilchrist and Bernie Mahusky handled Pizzeria-Legion mound duties. - With files from Jeff Rekowski

Benefit dance Friday night at Renfrew Legion for Brooklyynd Denty JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

Renfrew area family and friends are rallying behind a little White Lake girl who is fighting cancer. A benefit dance will be held in Renfrew this Friday, Sept. 10 in support of the family of two-and-a-half-year-old Brooklyynd Denty. The event will run from 8:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Renfrew Legion and will feature music by Barry Martin of All for One entertainment. The White Lake Marina is also running a fundraiser to help Brooklyynd, donating a special $5,000 boating package for a draw, with all proceeds going to the family. Tickets are on sale at the marina and the White Lake General Store . The tickets for the benefit are also available at various locations in Renfrew,

A benefit dance will be held in Renfrew this Friday, Sept. 10 for two-and-a-halfyear-old Brooklyynd Denty. including Aikenhead’s, as well as at the door. Brooklyynd is the daughter of Jai Denty and Tracy Cameron and sister of Brady. Six weeks ago, she was a normal happy active two-year-old.

Out of the blue, Brooklyynd started having trouble standing. When her legs gave out suddenly, the family rushed her to Renfrew Victoria Hospital. RVH sent her immediately to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario where she underwent almost 13 hours of surgery July 23 to remove a grapefruit-sized tumor from the area at the back of her head. “It was heart-wrenching,” said Renfrew family member Cindy Stewart, who is helping to arrange the benefit. “She is so cute … and was such an active little girl. She’s a real character.” Brooklyynd is slowly recovering and was discharged from CHEO just over a week ago. However, she was back to CHEO last week to start a series of radiation treatments. She is starting to talk again, but learning to walk has been slow.

It’s a difficult time for the family, said Stewart, noting they had no time to prepare mentally or financially for the ordeal. They’ve spent a great deal of time in Ottawa during and after the surgery. “They’ve practically lived at CHEO,” Stewart said. “The proceeds (of the benefit) will help them deal with this.” The family is well-known throughout the Valley, as Jai grew up in the Cobden area and works in Renfrew at Deslaurier Custom Cabinets. Tracy was raised in Portage-du-Fort. Brooklyynd has grandparents (Andy and Janice Stewart) in Haley Station. Tickets for the Sept. 10 benefit cost $5, with further donations gratefully accepted. There will be several other fundraisers during the event, including raffles and draws.

NATURE

Chickadees are an amazing species Black-capped chickadees are an amazing species. They are one of the few species that is able to generate new brain cells when the old ones wear out or die. The latest research indicates that male and female chickadees look so much alike that scientists rely on DNA tests to distinguish who’s who. But current research shows that chickadees can tell the difference using their ultraviolet vision. Nothing is ever new; somewhere in nature it can be found.

A BUSY SUMMER

JIM FERGUSON

Chickadee photo by Richard McManus.

SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE

Mary Steele sent us this account of the birds that nested near

their property. Hi Jim and Ila: We have helped to raise many families this summer. The Eastern Bluebirds had three separate nestings, 12 young survived. Brown thrashers, rose-breasted grosbeaks, red-breasted nuthatches, white-breasted nuthatches, American robins, pileated woodpeckers, black-capped chickadees, northern cardinals, eastern kingbirds and hairy and downy woodpeckers all raised their families. Purple finches and American goldfinches are coming to the niger and sunflower feeders. Female ruby-throated hummingbirds and their young have been in to feed. The males have already left. We will continue to feed them for another few weeks until we are sure they are on their way south. We had all the “not-so-welcome” birds as well: blue jays, common grackles, European starlings and house sparrows. Mary Steele

A VERY UNUSUAL SONG SO LATE IN THE SUMMER

A RED-TAILED HAWK

Cathy and Remick Campbell heard a whip-poor-will singing its mating song at dusk on Aug. 30. This is very late in the summer for this bird to be singing but it has been an unusual summer and anything is possible. Whip-poor-wills are insectivores and must have an ample supply of the insects, preferably moths, to survive. The female lays her eggs so that they hatch about 10 days before the full moon. This enables the adults to catch moths to feed their young when they can see. Whip-poor-wills are active only at dusk and dawn during periods of little or no moonlight. The Campbells saw four common nighthawks foraging just at dusk this past week. Cathy says that the gray catbirds have been singing and feeding on elderberry fruit.

Cathy Malette saw a red-tailed hawk hunting in a field on the Kerr Line. The round bales and the open fields in the Ottawa, Bonnechere and Madawaska Valleys are perfect habitat for birds of prey this time of year. The immature birds are just learning to hunt and the fields of hay and grain are home to thousands of rodents, food for the birds. Juvenile red-tailed hawks do not have a red tail but have a grayish tail with several dark brown bands. The large size, red tail and dark chest band are the best field marks for the adult birds. You should keep in mind when trying to identify this species that there are light and dark phases. Continued on Page 34

SEPTEMBER 12, 1935 TWO CHURCH CHORISTERS PAID FAREWELL HONORS: The choir of Trinity-St. Andrew’s Church, Renfrew, held a farewell in the form of a corn roast at the camp of Mr. and Mrs. Alex McPhail at Hurd’s Lake for one of their choir members.

The lab has the Fundy tides for study and students are taken trawling on the fishing boats as well as using the seashore to examine marine life. Next door is the Fisheries Research Board Station.

It’s that time of year again! Students are back at school. On Sept. 7 the St. Joseph’s High School staff and students celebrated the start of their school year by gathering in the gymnasium, where a liturgy was held followed by announcements. Also on Sept. 1, at 5 p.m., St. Joseph’s High School held its annual orientation barbecue for the Grade 8 and 9 students. The grade 8 students

were able to find out which teacher they had and visit their classroom. The Grade 9 students were able to get their time tables, which had the list and time of the classes they have this year along with what teachers they have. The students were not only introduced to teachers, but other staff and students from SJHS, including some of the members of student council. They helped out by showing the new students around the school, and

Residents of the Township of Whitewater Region Mobile Hazardous Waste Event

Gallant rallies support

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant is rallying support to scrap the long-gun registry. “I am asking every interested farmer, hunter and sport shooting enthusiast to talk to people they know who live in ridings which are not represented by a Conservative MP, and ask their representative in Ottawa to vote in favour of Bill C391,” she said of the pending private members bill in a recent news release. “I am hopeful that the few remaining Opposition MPs in rural Canada will listen to their constituents and do the right thing and vote to scrap the registry,” she said. “The recent gun show in Eganville here in our riding of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke was a huge success due to the optimism among area sportsmen that the end is in sight for the expensive gun registry.”

The Township of Whitewater Region will be conducting a mobile household hazardous waste disposal event for its residents on Saturday, September 25th, 2010 from 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM. The one day event will take place at the Ross Mineview Public Works Garage, located at 2271 Mineview Road, Cobden.

Calendars show autumn arriving in another few weeks, but the signs of a summer coming to an end are all around us, whether it’s the kids heading back to school this week, or the leaves beginning the transition to their annual splendour of colour. What a summer we had. Honestly, I don’t think anyone could ask for better weather, and from what I understand, that’s likely to continue, just please don’t hold me to it. As for me, it was a busy, and productive, summer. Certainly, there was a fair amount of travel, both within the riding and outside, shuttling back and forth to Toronto, or other places, as required by my positions of energy critic and PC house leader. But still, most of my travel was right here in Renfrew-NipissingPembroke, and how wonderful it was for Vicky and me to get around and visit so many people around the riding. We were able to take part in so many different types of events or gatherings, and came away from each and every one of them with the feeling that we were among friends, people who cared about us, and who believe that we care about them. And the variety of events, of course, is the spice of life. Birthdays, anniversaries, openings, speaking with summer students, farmers, people on the street, and the county fairs, all of it the stuff of cherished memories. The summer of 2010 was certainly a good one. The summer brings with it an atmosphere that is so much more relaxed, where people are comfortable in speaking to me in casual surroundings, and I learn so much from folks when I get the opportunity to get out there and meet with them in shirtsleeves. And of course, being a politician, I’m going to hear what’s on their minds, the good and the bad, and the way they feel about things. I know that different issues can affect different areas in different ways, so that something that might be huge in one area is perhaps less so in another, something I see to some extent right here in Renfrew County, one of the largest electoral districts in the province. But this summer, no matter where I went, either right here at home, or outside the riding, there was one issue that rang clearly as the major cause of discontent. Taxes. Whether the McGuinty government calls them taxes, fees, or rate increases, or all of the

above, the effect is the same for everyone, and it’s simply this: It sure costs a lot more money to get by these days. This all-out assault on the wallets of this province’s taxpayers is nothing short of breath-taking, and I don’t mean that in a flattering sense. The tax burden is such in this province, that ordinary working people find themselves making what can only be classified as quality of life decisions with their ever-dwindling financial resources, and these decisions usually result in them having to do with less, rather than more. The summer began with the HST, something that even supporters now admit will cost us more than advertised. Mr. McGuinty told us how it would make “business better in Ontario,” or something to that effect. But I was speaking to a young couple in Chatham, Ont., a couple of weeks back, and it broke my heart to hear that they’ve been forced to organize their shopping more tightly, to go less often, and when they do, to go shopping in the United States. Their sentiments were echoed by a senior couple I spoke with in Ottawa, who also said they intend to shop more across the border. This, of course, is wonderful news for merchants in New York and Michigan, but pretty thin soup for businesses up here in Ontario. It was a tax they said would benefit business here. It’s turning out to be a detriment to both consumers and businesses alike. So much so that, in speaking with a long-time Liberal supporter at the Cobden Fair, I was assured that, as a result of the escalating tax burden, he would not be voting Liberal again. While that might benefit me politically, I’m saddened by the fact that the gentleman had to say it at all. In closing, I’d like to take the opportunity to offer best wishes to all the children and educators who will be returning to school next week, and to remind drivers that Sept. 7 brings school buses and crossing guards back into the traffic mix. So please, all of us, be careful as we make our way about our business, and watch out for the little ones and those entrusted with their care. While the summer may not have been much for Dalton McGuinty, I truly hope that you and those important to you enjoyed yours, and that we can all look forward to good health and good prospects as we head into the fall season.

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” No, not Christmas! The advertising jingle expresses how wonderful it is for kids to go back to school and reminds them to get their school supplies at a certain business. September is a wonderful time of the year – for everyone. If you love eating fresh fruit and vegetables, this is the month to get them. It’s the only time of the year you can buy baskets of Ontario-grown pears, peaches, plums, tomatoes and cobs of corn. It has been a wonderful summer. Did you notice that there are fewer houseflies this summer? We didn’t even have flies outside wanting to get in. Every farm has flies. Not this summer! And that was a surprise because it was a muggy, moist August – the ideal weather for flies multiplying. I swatted some flies in the house but not very many. Other summers it was a daily job. That’s because they were at the door wanting to get in. There were no buzz flies in the house

either. I hate those fast flies. I have no idea why the fly population is down. I know some people have no apples on their trees this summer. Not a single apple. Apple growers say they have a bumper apple crop. The end of summer brings with it certain sadness. Summer always seem to go by so quickly, especially the last two weeks of August. Many things symbolize the end of summer. The fall fairs. Lawns are easier to mow – grass is drier. Golden rods are visible. Maple and oak trees are starting to change colour. Evenings are shorter and the mornings are darker. The nights are cooler and it’s a lot

From Page 28 Don Rouble saw several flocks of Brant Geese flying over the Bonnechere River on Wednesday and Thursday evenings last week. The black head, neck, breast and wings and the white neck lace and flank bars are good field marks when the birds are on the ground. In the air the rapid wingbeat and irregular flock shapes (bunches and lines) are good field marks. Brant Geese nest in the high Arctic and migrate to the east and west coasts of North America. We see them only when they stop to rest and feed during migration. Enjoy your birding.

The lake is much quieter. The noisy speedboats are heading for winter storage. But that doesn’t mean colder weather is upon us. Cooler weather is here. Summer is gone only to open up the beauty of the next season. The autumn season is a wonderful time of the year – my favourite. Environment Canada has good news for us. They predict we’ll have unseasonable warm weather for the next three months. For most of Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes, there’s a 70 per cent chance of unusually warm weather through the fall – September, October and November. The probability of warm weather is even higher in the eastern Arctic and in Newfoundland and Labrador. It is a wonderful time of the year!

The Renfrew Library has been busier than ever this summer. Residents, permanent and summer, have been in to borrow reading material, DVDs, video and board games, and books on CD to while away the summer hours. Perhaps the most read titles this summer have been those in the Millennium series by the late Swedish author Steig Larsson. These include The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with

They were met by volunteers from the local branch and county officials at emergency facilities in Renfrew where the supplies will be warehoused. This is part of the Red Cross commitment to develop local emergency response capability. The commitment includes having emergency supplies

It took me a long time to buy into the hype surrounding this series, but when I found myself at the airport facing a five-hour transatlantic flight, I purchased the first in the series. I can’t say I was disappointed. The book was almost finished by the time we landed, as was the second one on the flight back to Canada.

Renfrew-area residents welcomed to cast their votes in CAA’s worst-roads campaign STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroalnd.com

Look for road bumps and more, as the Canadian Automobile Association’s annual worst-roads campaign heads down the home stretch. Korey Kennedy, manager of public and government affairs for CAA North & East Ontario (CAANEO), continues his media blitz while encouraging drivers, cyclists and pedestrians to cast their ballots before the polls close Sept. 30. The campaign, now in its eight year, is all about bringing attention to bad roads, highways and bridges, with the hope this invites more financial support from the federal and provincial government. To date, the CAA says the campaign has helped generate $400 million for infrastructure projects in Ontario and $1.9 billion from the federal governments. Last year a record number of nearly 10,000 ballots were cast in the campaign. For the second straight year, voters said Steeles Avenue in Toronto was the province’s worst road. But this is hardly just a chance to identify neglected roads in larger metropolitan areas, says Kennedy. He notes previous campaigns have ended with the top-20 roads list containing roads from the rural communities of Kapuskasing and Moosonee in northern Ontario. It’s In Your Hands is the continuing theme of the campaign, whose major goal is to seek improvements to crumbling and decaying infrastructure. It’s noteworthy, says Kennedy, that more than 90 per cent of roads making the top-20 list have been, or are in the midst of being, repaired. “Motorists and other road-users can do their part by speaking up about this extremely important issue.” The definition of worst road can vary, but he says it’s up to voters to bring attention to a road problem, whether it’s a crack-riddled side road, a major road laced with potholes or a crumbling bridge. Ontario’s top-20 list of worst roads in 2009 started with Steeles Avenue, and continued with Ritson Road of Oshawa and third-place Burlington Street

in Hamilton. Belleville’s Palmer Road was fourth, while the first eastern Ontario road on the list was seventh-place Carling Avenue of Ottawa. Roads in the region receiving infrastructure improvements in recent years have included such top-20, worstroad finishers as the City of Ottawa’s Limebank Road and Carling Avenue. “That’s the joy of the campaign,” said Kennedy.

“Each and every year the results change, and they change with the wants and needs of the electorate.” Having the campaign coincide with municipal elections across the province doesn’t hurt, adds Kennedy. It’s expected Highway 17, which runs through Renfrew County, will continue to receive some votes, as municipalities continue to lobby for extension of the four-lane Highway 417 well beyond

Arnprior. One can vote online at www.caaneo. on.ca or by visiting one of Ottawa’s four CAANEO Travel Stores, including the one in Kanata. The campaign began Aug. 12 and continues through to Thursday, Sept. 30. Roads finishing in the top 20 are visited by Ontario Road Builders Association (ORBA) officials to verify their status as roads in need.

Classic cars for healthy cause steve.newman@metroland.com

Classic car owner Al Blimkie calls his orange Camaro RS a 1970 and a half model. The regular 1970 models were scheduled to come out in September that year, but didn’t hit the market until February, thus Blimkie’s unofficial tag for his car that he bought from an Ottawa owner in 1980. “I love the style, I like the way it drives and the performance it has. And I wanted one since I was seven years old,” says Blimkie, a Renfrew resident and returning exhibitor to the upcoming Car Show for Dad. The show’s sixth edition takes place at the Renfrew fairgrounds from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 18.

Proceeds go to the Canadian Cancer Society for prostate cancer research. Organizer Ray Beimers’ dad lost his life to prostate cancer. And so did Beimers’ father-in-law, last October. “Come out and support the cause and see some really cool cars,” says Blimkie. “The money goes to a good cause and it brings awareness to prostate cancer, that us guys need to get that (prostate) checked.” The fee for exhibitors is $5 per vehicle. There is no admission for fans, but donations will be welcomed. The show will also feature the returning swap-meet flea market. Traditionally, the show features classic cars from across the Ottawa Valley and from as far away as North Bay. More than 150 cars were showcased last season.

COMMUNITY

Butter, sugar, eggs and a caring community DONNA BARR

An overcast sky didn’t dampen the mood at the recent Barr Line Bake Sale for CHEO. There was a huge turnout for the event and the generosity of the community was overwhelming. Hosts Savanna and Brendan Enright and Jill and Kathleen Barr had been making jewelry and baking with the idea that they’d like to raise money to help the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

Jill is currently undergoing chemo treatments and the kids wanted to find a way to give back to the Candlelighters organization within CHEO that helps so many families when they need it most. They put up flyers, sent out an e-mail and the events that happened next are a testament to our caring community. Donations of mouthwatering homemade goodies flooded in from the many talented ladies in the area. Monetary donations were mailed

or dropped off before and after the event by friends and family who couldn’t attend the sale. Tractors, work trucks and family vehicles filled the yard and after four hours and 20 litres of lemonade, the Barr Line bake sale crew and surrounding community had raised $3,150 to help families with children at CHEO. The kids send out a heartfelt thank-you to the community who donated food, took time to drop in and gave so generously.

Audrey, Barry and Brenda, Dale and Chris’ co-workers from Scotiabank in Pembroke and others that worked with her during her career in banking were special friends that she treasured. Thank-you to Eric Zadow and his colleagues at Malcolm, Deavitt & Binhammer Funeral Home for your caring professionalism. You made a difﬁcult process bearable. Thank-you is extended to Peter Rumohr for the inspiring service that truly captured the spirit of Chris and greatly comforted the family and her friends. The family wish to recognize “excellence in caring” in the health care system that was demonstrated as Chris travelled through it. We thank Dr. Angus Daniels and staff at the Whitewater Bromley Community Health Center, Dr. Scott Graham of Pembroke and the care team at the General Campus of The Ottawa Hospital. We especially wish to thank the Diagnostic Imaging Department at the St. Francis Memorial Hospital in Barry’s Bay and particularly recognize Anita and Ramon for their professionalism and kindness to Chris when she travelled up the Valley from Beachburg for her ultrasound. As well we thank the Radiology Department at the Renfrew Victoria Hospital for the excellent turn around time on reading and reporting exam results and for providing timely access for her CT scan. For those who knew and loved Chris you realize that “the common sense” thing to do is to carry on. We are reassured that a little bit of Chris lives on in each one of our hearts. Think of her when you see a beautiful ﬂower, a vibrant crocheted afghan or a technicolor sunset over the Ottawa River. Smile, laugh and think of her often but especially when you see a dandelion. She will be missed. With thanks from Emma, Michael and Ellen, Alexander and Jane and their children.
