Another fine Renfrew Fair

New lawyer for the accused

STEVE NEWMAN

steve.newman@metroland.com

The 157th Renfrew Agricultural Fair is in the books, and many reviews are positive.

Contrary to several reports, the fair is actually a year older than board members are taking credit for. Having started in 1854, the 157th edition − or 156th anniversary − it attracted a wide range of events and visitors from near and far. last weekend.

Attendance, naturally, is highly susceptible to the weather gods. The crowds were down Wednesday through Thursday about 1,900.

DERBY DELIGHTS But you wouldn’t have known it opening night, with a still healthy crowd at the always-popular 16th Demolition Derby.

But then attendance soared on Friday, and especially for the overflow crowds on Saturday, perhaps partly in anticipation of the forecast of rain for Sunday.

“It went well, considering the weather didn’t co-operate,” said Renfrew Fair GM Judy Dobec.

Sharon Anderson-Olmstead removes herself from Jamieson-Brunet case STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Renfrew resident Dugald Jamieson, who faces charges of first-degree murder and breach of probation, has a new lawyer.

Sharon Anderson-Olmstead, who has been practising law in Renfrew for several years, formally removed herself from the case Sept. 8 in Renfrew in provincial court before Justice Jane Wilson, as the handcuffed Jamieson looked on.

Jamieson, 48, is charged after the body of Carol-Anne Brunet, 54, of Renfrew was found in her Hall Avenue apartment just after midnight on the morning of May 31, 2010. Jamieson remains in custody.

Anderson-Olmstead said she had to withdraw from the case because of the large number of people she has represented, over the years, who could also appear as witnesses in the trial, and thus put her in a potential position of conflict of interest.

“I am very much in support of Dugald and his defence, and very much in support of not wanting to have to leave in mid-trial (should such a conflict arise),” she told the Mercury.

“It’s just a function of practising law Eganville-area residents Raymond and Diana La Hay enjoy a tour of for 25 years in Renfrew. the Renfrew Fair, with son Owen and his new frog along for the ride.

Controversy surrounds selection of recreation department programmer STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

One applicant was approved by the recreation committee for the new position of Renfrew recreation programmer, then another, following farther review.

After extensive discussion at a Sept. 10 special meeting, Renfrew council members rejected the selection of Geoff Patterson by a recorded vote of 6-0. Then, by another 6-0 recorded vote, council approved the hiring of Grant Lavallee for the new 18month position.

Patterson, who was the original selection of the recreation committee, had worked for the City of Pembroke recreation department. All council members were at the meeting except Tom Anderson.

The hiring committee of recreation director Kelley Whitman-McKie, Coun. Gail Cole and recreation committee member Norm Bujold recommended the hiring of Patterson.

However, review by recreation committee members Bujold, Diana Wakely and Brenda Dillabough resulted in changes to that recommendation.

In a written email, the recreation committee said additional ref-

erence checks led those Lavallee may start work as early as committee members to late September, but possibly not until say they were not satis- October. The sooner the better, says fied Patterson would fit the recreation director. the position.

The former programming position The committee then came to the unanimous decision that Lavallee be offered the position.

They noted Lavallee had extensive experience with government agencies (including Family and Children Services) and organizational skills necessary for the job.

Lavallee has also been a long-time organizer and coach with the Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club.

He’s also a former Renfrew citizen of the year. So is Bujold, who ranked the top four applicants for the job. All four applicants were interviewed Aug. 27.

Whitman-McKie, who recommended Patterson for the job, seemed displeased with the turn of events at Friday’s special meeting.

“I don’t think I’m going to comment on it,” Whitman-McKie told the Mercury.

“It was council’s decision on the ultimate decision, and democracy is what democracy is.”

Ultimately, the recreation reviewed the hiring committee’s original decision and “had a difference of opinion,” said Whitman-McKie.

Anderson-Olmstead removes herself from case Continued from front “I realize how many families are here whose members are potential witnesses (in the case).”

Those present in provincial court Sept.

8 included family and friends of Brunet; assistant Crown Attorney Peter Hageraats; and lawyer Victoria Legris of Langevin Smith Legris, which is now representing Jamieson.

Jamieson’s new lawyer is Richard Morris of the Ottawa firm, which also has an office in Renfrew.

The case, which has a publication ban, will continue with a prehearing in Renfrew’s provincial court Nov. 10. Dates for the pre-

was vacated by Nadine Partridge last June when she moved out of the area.

“Programming is an important aspect of our department,” said Whitman-McKie.

“There are a fair number of things we want to keep going, and there are a number of items in the master plan that we want to explore and work through.”

RENFREW FAIR

Renfrew Fair fun

“But all in all we’re very happy with the results.”

The long-standing fair continued to attract visitors from across central Canada, including Aaron and Brian Hicks of Arthur, Ont., who travelled more than six hours to participate in the livestock competitions.

The Hicks also emerged with the top Charolais yearling bull and show’s overall grand champion bull.

Yet another visitor was Deep River resident Charles Kittmer, who visits the Renfrew Fair annually while particularly enjoying the contributions of 4-H members and other youngsters.

As a former 4-H club member who grew up near Stratford, he said: “It makes the fair far less commercial. It’s nice to see the 4-H activities and the satisfaction the youngsters get from the work they do.”

Another visitor was Aunt L. Rilka of Carleton Place whose family companions included one-and-a-half-year-old nephew Noah Heins of Arnprior.

“I’m originally from Renfrew and I always want to come back to my hometown and visit the Renfrew Fair,” she said during a visit to the agricultural hall to view entries in the art, crop and horticulture classes.

Of course, what would a fair be without such regulars as the Rotary Club of Renfrew’s bacon-on-a-bun booth, the midway rides and games, the equestrian, heavy-horse and other livestock events, as well as the fudge, ribs and cotton candy.

The biggest increases in participation were for the lighthorse (equestrian), heavy-horse and Sunday beef shows, but especially for the heavy-horse events. Participants in the latter included winner Brent

Gabie of Kazabazua’s lightand heavy-horse pull teams of Duke and Pete, and King and Doc. They pulled 12,600 and 11,200 pounds respectively.

Also popular was the expanded presentation by Little Ray’s Reptiles, whose four shows included the enticing birds of prey show, and the always-popular Barnett Agricultural Education Barn. Its tractor-grain play box and wide assortment of birds and animals again attracted thousands of visitors.

SWEET BREAK While taking a break at the midway, Brydon Schaap of Renfrew looked on approvingly as wife Anne Marie and son Bryce, 9, enjoyed a sticky moment with their cotton candy.

The fair is also a nice time to meet neighbours and other local residents, said Brydon.

Hospice gazebo dedicated in memory of a special man steve.newman@metroland.com

Arie van Lindenberg’s smile and warm manner reached many people.

Unfortunately for the Renfrew area, the Admaston-Bromley dairy farmer lost his battle with cancer a year ago. Fortunately, his character has resonated with many community members.

Mid-day Saturday, about 100 people attended the dedication ceremony for Hospice Renfrew’s new gazebo dedicated in his honour.

Van Lindenberg, 56, died at the hospice after a life that began in Holland and continued in Renfrew County where he and wife Marja brought up their three children, Barend, Gera and Matthijs.

Gera, with husband Joe and eight-month-old daughter Ava looking on during the memorial service and dedication, spoke of the many firsts this past year, some harder than others.

“We managed to get through them all, thanks to the deep well of support from our family and friends,” she said.

After thanking a few people who made the new gazebo possible, including her father’s close friend, Michael Barrett, she said,

“I’m sure Dad is smiling down on us now, hoping we don’t forget to thank everyone for all of this, and hoping that we all live our lives as full and as happily as we can. He would have wanted that, for all of us.”

That was evident in the memorial program’s dedication to A Man of the Land, and references to his successful work as a farmer, his obligation and calling to be a good neighbour, his humility, and his love of life and the people around him.

Hospice Renfrew board chairperson Connie Legg also offered thanks to the volunteer gardening committee and others who made the project possible.

“I was here the day the RCI students brought the gazebo to the hospice,” she recalled. “They were so proud of their work, and after spending a while here realized that the hospice wasn’t such a scary place.

“The time and effort they put into this beautiful gazebo will teach them life lessons that no text book ever could. This will be a tribute to their high school years that they can share with friends and families for years to come.”

Van Lindenberg was the first-ever eastern Ontario member of Gay Lea Foods Co-operative Ltd., which fi-

nanced the gazebo project with the help of volunteer labour. This included the significant contribution of Renfrew Collegiate Institute technology teacher Phil Donohue’s Grade 1112 class, which built the gazebo.

Mark Hamel of Gay Lea Foods announced the establishment of a five-year scholarship in van Lindenberg’s name. This means one $1,000 scholarship will be awarded for five straight years to a Renfrew County student entering Kemptville College.

Teacher Donohue said projects like this don’t come along very often.

“This was amazing for our students,” he said, while also admitting, “To be this visible in the community was a little scary.”

However, he said the students’ work, in collaboration with Gay Lea Foods, was amazing. “I was proud to be part of it,” said Donohue.

In keeping with the service’s theme, the dedication plaque to van Lindenberg includes the Bible verse from 1 Corinthians 13:7 in both Dutch and English: “When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.”

The prayer of dedication came from Pastor David Tigchelaar of van Linden-

berg’s home church, Renfrew’s Hebron Christian Reformed Church.

Those at the dedication included van Lindenberg’s

wife, three children and their families, as well as van Lindenberg’s brother, Tijmen van Lindenberg, of Holland, and wife Nel.

After the dedication, small bags of orange tulip bulbs, each bearing an orange ribbon, were distributed to those in attendance.

COLUMN

A slice of Newfoundland is a good slice of life And there sat Sam, looking cool and calm, in the heart of the furnace roar; And he wore a smile you could see a mile, and he said: “Please close that door.

It’s fine in here, but I greatly fear you’ll let in the cold and storm — Since I left Plumtree, down in Tennessee, it’s the first time I’ve been warm.

These words, in The Cremation of Sam McGee, are animated for my young son by Ted Harrison’s sensational art.

Now nearly six years old, Aidan asked the poem be read to him several times while we were on holidays earlier this month.

The request probably had something to do with the wonderful rhythm of the poem, and most probably with Aidan’s fascination with how a man can be cremated while reclined in a roaring furnace.

A certain coincidence is not lost on me, either, while nestled on the couch with my son, for one of those bedtime readings on Newfoundland’s northern peninsula.

We are reading about a faraway land while visiting another faraway, special place.

Newfoundland was where I found my first full-time job in journalism more than 30 years ago and Newfoundland, for almost anyone who visits The Rock, is left with some powerful impressions.

They’re not all good. The food can be brutal and the weather forgettable. But even the Weather Gods have a way of letting you fall in love with the land.

To start with, there’s the unforgettable Newfy accent.

It makes many Newfoundlanders, especially women, sound older than they are, but it’s welcoming, eclectic, easy to mimic and a sound unto itself.

RENFREW NEWFOUNDLANDERS There is also so much more to this land whose former residents include some in the Town of Renfrew, and across the county.

Unsurprisingly, all of them can talk. All have inherited, it appears, some of the province’s gift-for-the-gab. After all, Newfoundland is richly linked to its story-telling traditions and chances to talk about the beauty, freshness and challenges of this sometimes peculiar land that just barely voted to become

Mercury Mercur y The Renfrew

STEVE NEWMAN STEVE’S SIXTH SENSE part of Canada in 1949.

Some of the challenges became apparent, in a small way, when one woman talked to us − during our vacation − about how her mother made woolen clothing from sheep at home.

Yet, everywhere we went there were woolen products made by Newfoundland hands but with wool that had come from off the island, on the Canadian mainland.

One exception was the wool used from alpacas living on the Port au Port peninsula, just west of Stephenville. There I found a lightweight orange scull hat that’ll keep me warm practically any day of the year.

Another challenge was expressed during a brief visit to the coastal village of Neddies Harbour, where locals were gutting the morning’s catch of cod.

After the virtual elimination of Newfoundland’s cod industry a few years ago, one fisherman spoke about how his business had a “competitive cod quota” on the northwest coast of 3,000

pounds per week. The fisherman also spoke about the very restrictive fishing window for halibut, which he found perplexing.

“My dad says the halibut are as thick as he’s ever seen them,” he pronounced.

It was more than 30 years since I’d last tried catching fish in Newfoundland, and that was during a weekend fishing bash in the interior when there was as much drinking and eating as there was fishing.

It was also just over 30 years since I left central Newfoundland, where I had the great fortune to meet a very incredible man and friend. He later died of a brain tumour, but not before leaving a lasting impression. His lip would curl up a funny way when he told a story.

He could also cut his own moose steaks, fix a fridge, name every star in the sky, make his own wine, stay fit by running, enjoy his family, and volunteer to help out other kids.

We used to meet Thursday nights for a run and then sit down to a traditional Newfoundland snack of tea and partridge-berry jam on toast.

had reached the bottom of the cup, Bob’s wife would chastise me: “That’s not tea, boy. That’s coloured water.”

Those memories of hospitality in Newfoundland are also rekindled with my present reading of the book, The Day the World Came to Town. It’s the story of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States and how many international flights found refuge at the airport in Gander, Newfoundland.

It is a story of incredible community hospitality for citizens from around the world.

I experienced that hospitality again, during my recent visit to Newfoundland.

I called up the Newfoundlandborn managing editor 31 years after I last worked for him.

With one hint at who I was, he guessed correctly. He then, despite living several hours away, interrupted his own travel plans and dropped by for a visit.

Three decades ago, I had struggled to understand the words behind his thick Newfoundland accent. I told him so as we sat in our hotel room, remembering good times and laughing together. steve.newman@metroland.com

SUPPER with Ham and Beans St. Patrick’s Parish Mount St. Patrick, Ontario

Voters should support a candidate who resides in the ward, says Kallies STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Susan Kallies relaxes at a neighbour’s farm, where she boards her four horses. She’s brushing Chance, one of the four, when the others in the yard are startled by two deer who dash across the field.

Upon realizing who the visitors are, the horses settle and Kallies returns to talking about family roots in Admaston-Bromley.

Those family members included grandparents Bill and Mary Kallies of Northcote and Uncle Walter Kallies, who owned the gas and grocery store on the Admaston-Bromley edge of Renfrew. Uncle Walter also backed girls softball and the Kallies Royals of the Renfrew Industrial Hockey League.

Her 86-year-old dad, Leonard, still lives in the township, just off Stone Road, where she is his primary caregiver.

HOOKED ON HORSES Go back about four decades, to when Kallies was nine years old, and she became hooked on horses. Her dad bought a pony for her, her filly-foal became the youngster’s second horse, and she’s been in love with the equine beauties ever since.

Around the same time, the Kallies family spent a lot of their free time on a 100-acre plot of recreational property, near Scotchbush Road, where there was no electricity and you had to walk a quarter-mile for a pail of water.

She loved that time. Looking back,

the 50-year-old says: “I’m a city girl, but at heart all country.”

She went on to work in the Ottawa area as a bank-teller, in the jewelry business, in real estate and with a major car dealership, where from 1990-97 she says she was the top selling female agent, but at a price. Asked to work on her free Saturdays, she kept up the pace for years before taking a threemonth leave of absence. She then left the business for good, but stayed out of working while helping out her parents.

In 2004, her mother (Dorothy) took a bad fall, and she became the volunteered caregiver, as Kallies commuted back and forth between Ottawa and Admaston-Bromley. About the same time, her father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease.

PRIMARY CAREGIVER A few years later, in 2008, Kallies mom died. Meanwhile, her care-giving continues for her father, but she’s hoping to use some of her free time to represent Admaston-Bromley council.

Working part-time for a large-animal veterinarian, she says: “I need to do something with my time. I can’t be 24-7 in the house watching Dad. “(Municipal politics) is something I feel I can do while I care for my father.

The community has helped me in the last few years, and I’d like to help the community back.”

She’s also of the opinion that Ward 4 should be represented by someone who lives in the ward. Her opponent for the ward’s one council position is

Michael Donohue, who lives in Douglas, in neighbouring Ward 2.

“We have this ward system and I feel our constituents should be represented by someone who resides in the ward,” stresses Kallies.

“You’re hands on with the people.

You talk to them every day, you know their issues. I think they’d be more inclined to ask you to stand up for them.”

While she says there aren’t any big issues to separate the candidates, she says council has to continue to pursue doctors for the area.

If there’s a need-to-do, she says its doctor recruitment, as the local health services villages board looks to lure new physicians to the area with the help of financial incentives.

Conversely, Kallies says she has learned to be frugal with her father’s pension while looking after her dad, his Admaston-Bromley house and the empty family home in Ottawa. She also says she’s using her savings to afford her continuing passion for horses.

“I just draw the line on giving up my horses,” she says.

“And I feel I could be a benefit to this community because of my background after working with the public in sales and service.

‘DON’T TALK ABOUT IT, DO IT’ “As my Dad always said, ‘Don’t talk about it, do it.’ Whatever the people want me to do, I’ll do it.

“I’m a good listener. After spending years in sales, I’m used to negotiating and getting two parties to agree.”

Look for more election coverage in next week’s Mercury

Bennett bent on being No. 1 Veteran councillor hopes his experience resonates with Horton voters steve.newman@metroland.com

Following careful deliberation, Coun. Dave Bennett is going after Horton council’s top job.

He is among three candidates in the race for mayor, along with fellow councillor Don Eady and political newcomer Rod Ballantyne. He officially filed last month after consulting with family members and business associates.

“Politics is something that I feel I have put a huge commitment into, and I’ve studied and educated myself on most aspects of municipal business,” says Bennett, 57.

He first ran for Horton council in the late 1980s, when he was elected to two consecutive terms as deputy reeve. He unsuccessfully ran for reeve against popular Milt Stevenson in the early 1990s.

“I was too cocky,” admits Bennett. However, he has been back on council since 1998. If elected mayor, this would be his fifth straight term.

“I bring a very common-sense approach to the needs of the residents of Horton Township.

“I listen to all sides very well, and I try to negotiate with all involved,” says Bennett, who says most evenings he watches the news before visiting his computer to research items relevant to Horton Township.

Present council, he adds, has set a course the municipality should continue to follow while looking to improve its roads and recreational programming, and provide the lowest taxes possible.

Septage, however, has been a bit of a “tooth-pulling” ordeal for Horton. The township was scheduled to start accepting untreated septage in its holding tanks this week.

The project, which present Horton councillors hope becomes a template for other Ontario municipalities, has been a stop-and-start affair in the last

Dave Bennett few years. The project also went over budget. An original budget of about $100,000, which came from the County of Renfrew, is now closer to $150,000.

But the cost could have been much higher, says Bennett, noting his own Marshall’s Welding and Construction offered services in kind to keep costs lower.

“Over the years I’ve donated my equipment, my knowledge and most times paid man labour to work for the municipality for the betterment of the residents, to make sure these (kind of) projects are completed for less tax dollars,” explains Bennett.

Some of the overruns were related to the need to repair cracks in the brand-new holding tanks.

The first of three applications of treated septage on local farming fields will happen this fall. The other two are scheduled for next spring and fall, before a final report is produced.

Some residents are complaining about the cost of the rink project going over budget, but Bennett’s company bid $42,000, or about $60,000 lower than

the next lowest tender for rink boards. That was “to ensure the project was moving forward,” said Bennett.

Meanwhile, Horton is also among a few townships that need to make more progress in a few other areas. Like better cellular phone and Internet service, says Bennett.

“Cell and Internet have become today’s ways of communication, and it’s very discouraging to see our residents unable to utilize what’s used in most of Renfrew County,” says Bennett, noting another communication tower is needed to address certain holes in coverage.

Speaking of communication, the married father of four adultage children also continues his career in municipal politics despite the life-long challenge of stuttering.

“At times I’m very cautious of what I want to say because I don’t want to say something that is not what I actually mean,” he acknowledges.

Meanwhile, Bennett says Horton needs to ensure borrowing is minimized in the near future, following the accumulation of debt because of such cost-shared projects as this fall’s extensive reconstruction work on Garden of Eden Road.

Another issue of concern is doctor recruitment for residents of Horton and area. Bennett and has wife have respective doctors in Arnprior and Renfrew, but many residents aren’t so fortunate.

“There’s certainly the need for doctor recruitment,” says Bennett.

“That was never a question; it was the question about how the program was going to be put together. But I’d say my concerns have been answered.”

Generally, however, Bennett says he likes the direction the township is taking.

“I feel the municipality has been run very well the last few terms of council, and I don’t think there are any issues that are of any major consequence.”

ELECTION

New political territory for Soviet native This engineer, who fled the collapsed USSR several years ago, is running for a position on town council STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Mila Barnamova figures her chances in the upcoming election for Renfrew council are slim.

“I’m not very hopeful, she admits. But she says she’s wants to speak up about certain issues, like the need for better upkeep of the millennium trail and better communication with businesses, following George Jackson Toyota’s decision to leave Renfrew for Horton Township.

Barnamova, 62, speaks broken English as well as Russian and Ukrainian. She says she’ll stand up for what she believes in. She’s also a survivor who has overcome huge obstacles.

Having moved to Renfrew in 2000, the Soviet-born Barnamova received her master’s degree in civil engineering before working out of Ekaterinbreng, a city of 1.5 million people. But the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 dramatically changed her life.

As the Soviet Union was collapsing, she says her husband committed suicide in the midst of the political and financial turmoil. Having also travelled the world and the Soviet republics for her work, she decided it was time to leave.

“I lost my job and so much was being grabbed by the mafia,” she recalls.

“Miserable, miserable,” she says, repeating herself to describe that time. “There was no food, no stores, it was like a disaster zone.”

So, she left Europe with a plan

of seeking political asylum in the United States after meeting a Russian-speaking friend who was working in Columbia.

Coming to Canada was the accidental part of the plan. En route to Columbia, the plane stopped in Gander, Newfoundland to refuel, but within minutes she was the only passenger left onboard. All the other passengers had disembarked to seek political asylum.

So she made a “one-second decision” to do likewise.

“Why do you want to stay here?” asked the customs officer.

“I am looking for a better life and I was treated badly in Russia,” she told him, explaining that she was scared for her life.

Shortly afterwards, she ended up in St. John’s where she studied English as a second language for a year.

“It was very hard. I was 42 years old,” recalls Barnamova, who spoke but a few words of English at the time. She was also alone, having left behind one older daughter, who had a partner in Germany.

In the 1990s Barnamova was living in Ottawa, where she got a job, as an apartment building superintendent, after her landlord saw how she had beautified her own apartment. Later, she moved to Arnprior with her new husband, Fred. The marriage lasted eight years, until his death of heart complications in 2000.

With few finances and the chance to buy property and recoup her investment through rental income, she moved to Ren-

“Toyota was treated like a stranger,” she argues. “I would think it would be better if there were more negotiations.”

A better effort is needed, she says, to promote business in this end of the county. “Who can afford the fees? Are we waiting for big-shot guys, or what?” she says of the sizable security deposit sought by the town.

Like several candidates, she says something also needs to be done to attract new doctors to the area. These candidates, she says, could include foreigners and Canadian immigrants who are retrained to meet Canadian standards.

“I’m sure they’d be glad to live in Renfrew for a while,” she says.

frew. But the plan didn’t work out because of delinquent tenants, she says.

Now living on limited income, she says she’s running for council “because I’m concerned.”

She says she’s concerned about littering in town, and the condition of the millennium trail where she says the town did a poor job brush-hogging the trail. She’s also “deeply hurt” by the town’s dealings with George Jackson Toyota.

“I thought it was a mistake to push them away,” she says.

“Somehow you should find a solution to keep them.”

She likened the unsuccessful negotiations to a son who comes to his father for help, but doesn’t get much.

Second try for council berth in Admaston-Bromley STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Farmer and long-time volunteer Ray Pender faces Donna Blimkie in the election for the councillor in Admaston-Bromley’s Ward 3.

“I’m not sure if I’m cut out for this,” admits Pender, who also ran for election, unsuccessfully, in 2000. However, he has put his name forward.

“People approached me to run,” says Pender. “I didn’t take this decision lightly. I took some time.”

The ward’s present representative, Jack Kelly, is facing off with Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe for mayor.

The timing may be right, given that Pender says he may be nearing the end of his farming

career.

“I had to decide whether I wanted to commit the time. My wife and I are both at the age where we want to do some travelling.”

Some travelling will happen this fall, with a trip to Australia for a nephew’s wedding. However, Pender decided the couple’s plans wouldn’t get in the way of him sitting on council.

One of six children of Mac and Annie Pender, he farms the same property where he grew up. Now 68, he was a dairy farmer for several years before moving into the cash-crop hay business in 1998 “I always wanted to farm.

When I was at Kemptville College, that was my main ambition, so I ended up in the dairy business for 25 years,” he says.

Eleven candidates are chasing four positions on Horton council, but only one is an incumbent.

That’s Bob Kingsbury, who says his political experience should benefit a newer and greener council. “I was contemplating whether I wanted to go for another four years,� said Kingsbury, 66. “But I’m the only incumbent running for councillor and I think that experience will be valuable.� “In the last seven years I’ve gained experience on planning committee, public works, fire, waste management and I’m chair of the recreation committee.�

His total municipal experience is 13 years, but the first six years as Horton councillor started in the late 1980s. Then work pressures convinced him to step away from council until his 2002 retirement from Haley Industries, where he had worked for 32 years.

But retirement, as many retirees learn, hasn’t exactly been a yawn. “It’s been busy, much more busy than I thought, because if you devote time to council it can be demanding,� he says.

Bob Hall isn’t running again.

He’s deputy-mayor, a position that will be absolved and turned into another councillor position for the next term, while Coun.

Dave Bennett and Don Eady are among three candidates for mayor.

In seeking a fifth term on council, Kingsbury wants the public to understand his stand on doctor recruitment. He repeats the point he made abundantly clear in council discussions that municipalities, other than Renfrew, Horton, Admaston-Bromley and Greater Madawaska, should financially contribute to the campaign. He also questions the present approach of each municipality paying $25,000 annually; he favours an equal per-capita contribution. At the same time, he heartily supports the hiring

of former Renfrew County CAO your platform. And if Norm Lemke as the campaign’s you lose, you move on in life.� business officer.

Horton, meanwhile, must continue to watch its finances because of recent borrowing to help pay for cost-shared infrastructure projects, including the Garden of Eden Road reconstruction, says Kingsbury. At the same time, he says there’s room for tweaking certain projects.

For example, he favours the addition of a cement pad, which would increase Horton’s options

He says fundraising, like the harvest dinners and dances, also needs to continue, to help pay for recreational services.

At the same time, the township must keep a close eye on its finances. The very fact Horton has about $280,000 of taxes in arrears suggests people are struggling to make ends meet, so this is a good time to keep the tax rate low, says Kingsbury.

Also, the veteran councillor says Horton can do a better job communicating with the voters.

A step in that direction might be a regular advertorial in the Renfrew Mercury.

Whyte looks for return to municipal politics STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

It’s been a pickle of a summer, but enough’s enough.

“I can only make so many pickles,” exclaims Margaret Whyte, who hopes to continue to make more pickles at home, but also has other plans.

Whyte, 59, is keen to return to the council table, this time for

Margaret P. Whyte

Horton Township.

The Haley Station native and representative on Arnprior council from 1994-97 says there are many reasons she’s running for councillor.

“It took a lot of thought, but I was easily encouraged (to run) because of my (recent) retirement. And I’m goal oriented and there’s a lot to do in Horton Township,” says the Castleford resident.

For one, Whyte says there’s the challenge of paying down the township’s debt after borrowing to help pay for the roofing of the rink and reconstruction of Garden of Eden Road.

She says those were needed projects, but so is the need to continue to fundraise to help realize better recreational facilities. “I think recreation is a growing vision for Horton,” she remarks.

If elected, she says she’ll bring to council lengthy experience developing policies and procedures, as part of a 39-year career in nursing, including 19 years in nursing administration at Renfrew Victoria Hospital.

“I’m committed to the community because my roots are here, and I have previous (council) experience and … I’m used to being with a team. As a manager, you have to collaborate and motivate.”

She suspects Horton will have a bit of a vacuum, with the loss

of at least two council veterans, since deputy-mayor Bob Hall isn’t running again and two other councillors are running for mayor In fact, if Rod Ballantyne is elected and incumbent Bob Kingsbury is not, there would be no present-council returnees.

“I decided to run because there’s going to be a vacuum. I’m glad the old council (members) are now running because we need them for their historical experience and expertise, and for their mentoring,” she says.

Whyte, too, is familiar with the area.

A barber since 1990, he has worked mostly in Renfrew, but also in Petawawa and for six months for the Canadian forces in Afghanistan, in 2007.

Proulx, 59, says he expects to retire in the next few years from the barbering business. He and wife Donna have three adult-age children and six grandchildren.

“I’m a good hard worker and I have strong ethics on issues,” said Proulx of his desire to sit on council.

“My platform is simple. I have always been known to get the job done … I will provide strong, decisive, firm and common-sense leadership, to accomplish what is best for the municipality as a whole.”

One of the possible issues is natural resources. Proulx says he wants to know what’s happening with local fish stocks, particularly the pickerel in the Golden Lake area after a recent five-year moratorium.

“I haven’t caught a pickerel there (at Golden Lake) for seven years,” said Proulx, who has lived in Golden Lake for that long.

Previously, he lived in Renfrew where he grew up. Several years

ago, he also ran the Proulx’s Shell gas station in Eganville for six years.

Proulx’s community support in the past has included minor and junior-B hockey. He has also been a Knights of Columbus member for 35 years.

Proulx is one of five new candidates for North Algona Wilberforce council. The others are Robert Atkinson, Thomas White, Dan Neville and Melvin Berndt.

The four incumbents, who are also running, are Kevin Clarke, John Keuhl, Lorenz Kelo and Ruth Schoenfeldt. Harold Weckworth will be acclaimed and reelected to that position.

Horton honours Bill Winters SHERRY HAAIMA

Horton looks at boat launch sticker program Following are briefs from the Sept. 7 meeting of Horton council.

shaaima@msn.com

The presentation of Horton’s 2010 senior of the year award was special not only for recipient Bill Winters, it was a touching moment for the mayor, too.

Horton Mayor Bob Johnston’s family grew up alongside the Winters family and their Storyland Road farm.

Johnston described the Winters family as “great neighbours of ours back when I was on the farm.�

Bill, along with wife Jean and other family members, was on hand at the Sept. 7 council meeting to accept his award.

The Dutch-born Winters has long been involved in the community, serving on the school board and various committees, including as a valuable member of the township’s planning committee, said Johnston. “He’s been just a great neighbour and friend over the years,� he said.

Winters was gracious in his acceptance. “I’d like to

Horton Mayor Bob Johnston, right, presents the senior of the year award to Bill Winters. Mercury photo by Sherry Haaima thank the municipality for nominating me for this senior of the year award,� he said. “It was a very pleasant surprise to me.�

Winters, who has since moved out of the township but whose family still operates the farm, said the

township was a great place to live.

He took a moment to introduce his family and express his appreciation for the honour. “I’ve always loved to live in Horton,� he said. “There are lovely neighbours and great people.�

Slow going on revamped Garden of Eden Road SHERRY HAAIMA shaaima@msn.com

The speed limit on Garden of Eden Road will be reduced to 60 from the current 80 kilometres per hour.

Council was unanimous in its support of the public works committee’s recommendation to reduce the speed. The new speed limit will take effect after the bylaw is passed at the next meeting and the signs have been posted.

Most of the construction on the road is finished, committee chair Coun.

Dave Bennett reported at the Sept. 7 Horton Council meeting. “We’ve actually got the road completed and it’s just in the compaction stage.�

There is also some culvert work and other details to be finished.

The contract calls for completion of the project

by Nov. 1 and everything’s in line to realize that deadline, said Bennett.

The lowered speed limit also means guardrails will not be needed on several locations on the road, he added.

Council also approved a revised estimate for the engineering fees required

to complete the project.

The original quote of $115,000 was revised after the township determined municipal infrastructure manager Jeff Schruder could handle some of the inspections. The new estimate of $44,000 (plus $11,925 in inspections before the change in process was made) saves the township about $68,000.

LAME-DUCK COUNCIL Council passed a bylaw to designate authority to the chief administrative officer/clerk Mackie McLaren during the lame duck restrictions of council that took effect following the Sept. 10 nomination deadline.

There are two guidelines that determine a lame duck council: if 75 per cent of the current council was not nominated to run for council seats; or if 100 per cent run but only three of five are returned. In Horton’s case, the first applies. Mayor Bob Johnston and Deputy Mayor Bob Hall are not running while three incumbents are seeking positions as mayor or councilor.

Renfrew council approved a similar bylaw at

a special meeting held last Friday.

COUNCIL REMUNERATION Earlier in council’s term, a committee of ratepayers was appointed to review and make recommendations on council remuneration effective Jan. 1, 2011.

Council received the report in May 2009 and met with committee members in November, 2009 to finalize the recommendations.

A bylaw was drafted earlier this year but not passed when council decided to proceed with the elimination of the deputy mayor position.

The recommended annual salary for the mayor is now $11,000 and for councillors $7,000.

There is no meeting per diem for the first and second meeting of the month or if the meeting lasts less than 20 minutes.

After that, per diem for meetings 30 minutes to two hours in length is $50, two hours to four hours $70 and longer than four hours or a full day $140.

Previously, the mayor’s annual salary was $10,380.

The deputy mayor received $6,328 and councillors received $6,209.

Horton’s recreation committee wants to make sure the township’s boat launch on the Bonnechere River is accessible to residents who want to use it. “Quite often a lot of our residents go down to the boat launch and they can’t get in,� said Coun. Bob Kingsbury.

All of council except deputy mayor Bob Hall voted to approve the recreation committee recommendation to implement a windshield sticker program beginning in the spring of 2011. The program will require vehicles to display a sticker, available for purchase at the township office, in order to park and launch a boat at the site. Vehicles without the sticker will be subject to a maximum fine of $100, says the resolution. “If they’re going to use the boat launch‌I think it’s only fair that they pay for it,â€? said Kingsbury.

Hall suggested council look at a perday option for visitors to the area.

Coun. Eady suggested there be a fair warning, including signs and newspaper advertisements for the program is introduced.

LIFE’S A BEACH? Recreation committee chair Coun. Bob Kingsbury reported landowners Rod Ballantyne and Mike Welsh attended the July committee meeting to voice his concerns with the township’s plans to develop the beach at the former Timbertown site near his home. “He’s not very pleased with the fact we’re going ahead with our beach,� said

Kingsbury.

Ballantyne’s concerns include: the beach is one kilometre from the road; no cell phone service; unsafe campfire activity; noise and trespassing; liability of neighbours in case someone is injured while trespassing; and inadequate signs and fencing. Kingsbury explained $8,000 had been set aside for this year’s beach development, but more money will need to be put towards it in the future. “It’s a start,� said Kingsbury. “It’s up to the next council whether they want to continue developing it or not.�

ROAD STANDARDS Council approved a public works committee recommendation to contribute $1,000 to the Ontario Good Roads Association (OGRA) Minimum Maintenance Standards (MMS) Litigation Fund.

As outlined on the OGRA website, an application was recently filed with the Superior Court of Justice to have the standards declared null and void. This application has been filed by individuals who have also filed suit against a municipality for a winter- related accident. The municipality is attempting to defend the action, in part, by proving that they were in compliance with the Minimum Maintenance Standards. Municipalities, who are exercising due diligence and maintaining their roads in good repair will no longer have a viable defence against spurious claims of liability, says OGRA. “If that change is successful, every road in our municipality would have to be really brought up. There are lots that would meet the standard but there are lots that wouldn’t. It’s not feasible,� said Bennett. “It’s not something that any municipality can handle.�

Still aiming for 30 teams in 30th year STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

As of early this week, the count of teams entered in this Sunday’s 30th annual Terry Fox was still only about a dozen.

That’s well short of the goal of 30 teams in the 30th year of this event, which has reached around the world and touched many hearts and minds. But there’s still time, say organizers Tanya Campbell and Sheena Pilgrim.

As the daughters of Lois LeClaire, who was an avid Terry Fox Run supporter but who also lost her battle with cancer, they know a thing or two about the impact of the dreaded disease.

As return organizers for the event, whose Renfrew run has occurred the last 28 years of the 30-year stretch, they say it only takes two people to make a team.

And there’s no minimum required pledge to the Canadian Cancer Society, which continues to do research into the disease that has taken the life of Terry Fox and millions more.

MORTALITY RATES Over 600,000 people will die of cancer in North America this year alone. Cancer, meanwhile, remains the second largest cause of death next to heart disease in North America. Canadian Cancer Society says an average 3,340 Canadians are diag-

nosed with cancer every week, while another 1,470 die of cancer each week.

And as much as Terry Fox ran from St. John’s to Thunder Bay in his Marathon of Hope, prior to his death in June 1981, participants don’t need to run, says Pilgrim.

This year’s theme, as marked on the 30th annual Terry Fox Run t-shirts, is Working Together to Outrun Cancer.

But the organizers stress that running is only an option.

“We’re trying to introduce new people to the run,” said Pilgrim.

“We’re trying to encourage people to participate, so you don’t have to run,” she added, noting the alternatives of biking, in-line skating or walking the five- or 10km routes within town.

Registration starts at 11 a.m. in the MaTe-Way Activity Centre, next to the noon starting line in the main road.

Pre-run activities will include a stretch session with members of Ottawa Valley Physiotherapy, with $2 per participant added to the fundraising pot.

A cancer survivor, who continues to play hockey, is John Leslie of Arnprior who will be the motivational speaker in the brief pre-run ceremony.

For more details, call Campbell at 613433-9380 or Pilgrim at 433-8210.

The Renfrew event has raised over $250,000 during its 28 years on the Terry Fox Run circuit.

GROUND-BREAKING ANNOUNCEMENT Bonnechere Manor Foundation chairman Don Goulet addresses Renfrew council in the company of Robyn Arseneau, community relations coordinator for Bonnechere Manor.

They were highlighting Monday, Sept. 13, as the date for the groundbreaking ceremony of the Renfrew long-term care home’s new auditorium project. Sullivan & Son of Arnprior has won the contract to build the auditorium. The manor has been without an auditorium since opening its new building in 1995. The public is welcomed, rain or shine, to the 3:15 p.m. ceremony in the back courtyard. As the sign on the lectern indicates, another important local event comes to the community this Sunday.

Pender vs. Blimkie for Ward 3 berth on A-B council Continued from Page 10 The 6-foot-4 Pender saw the seven-day-a-week business take its toll.

“I didn’t realize what stress I was under until I wasn’t milking cows anymore,” says Pender, who underwent two knee replacements. The later years in dairy farming were also stressful, when wife Karen successfully battled breast cancer.

“She was always one to be there on the farm, but it was too much (in the end), so we decided as a couple to do other things.”

Other things, but still very much with farming front and centre.

For about 15 years he has

participated in the Admaston and Area Grain Share Project, which funnels money from selected local harvests to the Canadian Food Grains Bank for crop development in third-world countries.

“It’s part of who I am,” he says of his Christian faith. “I have always tried to follow Christian values and try to be honest about everything I do.”

Meanwhile, he volunteers with the Grace and Northcote United churches, the Renfrew Fair board, Hospice Renfrew and the Renfrew County Soil and Crop Association. He also represents Admaston-Bromley as a fence viewer and chairs the

Agriculture Veterinary Unit.

“I like to work behind the scenes,” remarks Pender, who says he has no bones to pick with present council.

“I’m quite happy. In fact, I think our Township of Admaston-Bromley is being run very well. What I might bring is a base of experience. I have something to contribute to the future of the township.”

That future, he says, must include more doctors. But shop carefully for the doctors, even if doctors are urgently needed in the area, suggests Pender.

“People are so mobile, people move around more (in business).

(But) I think it’s the quality of the

person we should be concerned about,” he says of recruitment efforts by the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village Board, whose members include the four local townships.

While he calls AdmastonBromley a great place to live and work, Pender says council has to be conscious about finding facilities or activities for youth.

A good step in that direction, he says, is the move to turn the Admaston Public School rink into a four-season facility.

Whatever the issue, if elected to council Pender says he’ll bring a forthright approach.

Anybody who knows me knows I call a spade a spade,” he

Ray Pender says. “And I always try to put a lot of effort into what I’m trying to accomplish.”

Sandhill Cranes on the move again

READY TO RAMBLE?

We should be seeing some flocks Marg Crozier saw three Sandof snow geese before long. Flocks hill Cranes flying over their of 50 to 60 birds have been seen farm this week. The birds move SCENE FROM THE from late September until the end around, referred to as post HAWK’S EYE of November. On occasion a few breeding wandering, in search will travel with flocks of other speof food, mainly grain that has not made it way into the combine. Soy beans, oats, cies. Watch for white birds among flocks of darker Canada geese. barley and corn are among their favourites.

It is time to give your bird boxes a good cleaning.

The cranes have remained in the area as late as the first week in December, depending on the Warm, soapy water is the best. It will kill any inamount of snow cover. Their migration route takes sects and their larvae, especially blow flies. Squirthem to the southern states: Arizona, Texas, Loui- rels and mice will often use the houses as dens in siana, and California and also to Mexico. On very the winter. This means that you will have to clean rare occasions they have wintered as far north as the boxes again in the spring. If you plug the hole with a stick it will save you some work when you Newfoundland and Southern Labrador. open the boxes.

Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson 5313 RACING PIGEONS River Road, R R 5, Renfrew, K7V 3Z8 Phone 613-432Dawn Abercrombie saw a small flock of pigeons 2738 or email jamesh@nrtco.net at their cottage. The birds had coloured bands on their legs and appeared to be accustomed to the presence of people.

There have been several competitions for racing pigeons in the area during the past few weeks and the birds that Dawn saw were very likely birds involved in the races. The pigeons become disoriented and are unable to find their home loft. They are usually completely exhausted and unable to continue. Recovery takes up to three weeks.

If such a bird arrives at your home give it some corn or Niger seed and when it has regained it muscle mass it will continue to seek its home loft.

JIM FERGUSON

The 2010 Rural Ramble kicks off Sept. 18 and 19 with the brand new Adventure & Exploration weekend. One of the options this weekend is horseback riding at Frontier Trails. For more on the event, see Page 46.

FEEDERWATCH The FeederWatch program will begin in November. The kits will be arriving in the mail to previous participants before long. If you wish to take part please visit our website or call 1-888-448-2473.

The 24th season of Project FeederWatch is quickly approaching. Your counts will help scientists monitor changes in winter feeder-bird populations from year to year. You choose how much time you want to spend. New participants receive a kit with a handbook, a bird-identification poster, a calendar, and an instruction booklet.

Results of the season are published in BirdWatch Canada and in Winter Bird Highlights – the FeederWatch magazine. You can also explore maps and charts online to see what others are reporting during the count.

Join the flock! The 2010-11 season goes from Saturday, Nov. 13, 2010 until Friday, April 8, 2011. There is a $35 fee to defray program expenses (participation is free for Bird Studies Canada members). Project FeederWatch is a joint program of Bird Studies Canada and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

HUMMINGBIRDS The Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are still gathering nectar at our feeders. We have increased the sugar water to two parts water and one part sugar.

The extra sugar provides the birds with the necessary energy to keep them warm during the longer and cooler nights.

Their migration route takes them along the Mississippi Flyway to the Gulf States and on to the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Barring contact with the oil sludge that remains in the Gulf of Mexico they should make the trip successfully.

Please keep your feeders active until the birds have been absent for at least a week to ten days.

Time to switch to Superior.

Don’t wait to be surprised by a less than dependable energy supplier. Call Superior Propane for comfort you can depend on and save on our comprehensive introductory offer: r Competitive propane pricing and tank install package r No charge tank switchout for current propane users r Up to 500 litres of free propane when you join By joining Superior Propane, you will enjoy the benefits of our reliable propane supply, local service and compelling equipment and service bundles.

For comfort you can depend on, call 1-87SUPERIOR today.

GEESE ON THE MOVE There are hundreds of Canada geese on the move.

I do not feel that they will begin serious migration until we get some snow cover. Grain is their main source of food at the present time and they will continue to harvest it until the snow flies. On rare occasions the geese have remained until after the Christmas Bird Count.

McNab introduces full-day kindergarten New child tax SHERRY HAAIMA shaaima@msn.com

Back to school is an exciting time for all students and staff but this year is extra special at McNab Public School.

While also welcoming new principal Bronwyn Scott, McNab is the first local school to introduce the Early Learning Program, which will see junior and senior kindergarten students in school every day of the week for the full day.

Scott said she and staff at her previous school, Central, had hoped it would be introduced there (McNab, Cobden and Beachburg public schools are the first in the area to implement it, but it will be phased in at other schools over the next five years) so she was pleasantly surprised Work has been going on over the summer to prepare the kindergarten classes for the change. “It’s beautiful – bright and airy. It’s very vibrant and inviting,” said Scott.

Physical changes include renovation of the kindergarten rooms so that there are now two double-size rooms for the about 52 students, additional cupboard space, fresh paint and custom-made steps so the little ones have easy access to

McNab Public School junior kindergarten student Emily Gonzalez gets up close to the smart board during a visit to McNab school last week. Mercury photo by Sherry Haaima the smart board.

“McNab has been chosen by the ministry to be a little bit of a showcase,” said Scott.

“So others will have a chance to come and look at the setup.”

She expects there will be regu-

lar visitors to the school as other facilities prepare to implement the all-day kindergarten.

McNab’s kindergarten team, made up of early childhood educators and kindergarten teachers, has been busily pre-

paring for the term, having already completed a two-day workshop.

Team members include ministry liaison Therese Narbonne, plant department officials, literacy coach Trish Turner, Karen Boese, Sarah Ray, Kristy Campbell and Laurie Hill.

As of yet, there are no after-school programs in place at the school. The introduction of staggered bells in the county means the school day starts and ends later this year, bell times are 9:15 a.m. and 3:35 p.m.

There was not enough interest to warrant before or after-school programs yet, but that may change, said Scott, as parents adjust to the new start times. Parents have so far responded positively to the change, says kindergarten teacher Karen Boese.

“They’re looking forward to them going every day,” said Boese.

Those concerned a full week of school will be too taxing on young students are reassured the students will be looked after.

“It’s play-based learning.

There are lots of activities and there are opportunities to rest, too,” said Boese.

credit planned

The provincial government is proposing a new permanent, refundable tax credit that would make it a little easier for Ontario parents to get their children involved in sports, arts and other activities.

Under the proposed tax credit, parents would be able to claim up to $500 of eligible expenses per child.

They would receive a refundable tax credit worth up to $50 per child, or up to $100 for a child with a disability.

The tax credit could benefit over 1.8 million children in Ontario.

Ontario’s tax credit would build on a similar federal government program.

However, Ontario’s tax credit would be broader in scope – it would apply to more than just sports activities – and it would be a refundable credit that benefits all families, including those with low incomes.

The province intends to introduce legislation this fall that will provide details about the new tax credit.

This credit would apply to any eligible expenses incurred on or after Jan. 1, 2010, meaning parents would receive a credit after they file their 2010 tax returns.

Critics have suggested the tax credit will not make up for the extra costs due to the HST.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION SESSION ENVIRONMENTAL SCREENING PROCESS OSCEOLA WASTE DISPOSAL SITE EXPANSION PROJECT The Township of Admaston/Bromley initiated an Environmental Screening Process (ESP) on September 25, 2009 in accordance with Ontario Regulation 101/07 under the Environmental Assessment Act (EAA). The ESP is intended to determine if an increase in landfilling capacity for the Osceola Waste Disposal Site is feasible, and that the subsequent technical approvals will be obtainable. The Township commissioned Jp2g Consultants Inc. to assist in the ESP, presently they are conducting agency consultation and various field studies. A key element in the ESP is to obtain comments from the general public, and an information session is scheduled for:

7:30 p.m. September 27, 2010 at the Barr Line Community Centre The purpose of the Public Information Session is to provide the background behind the landfill site expansion project and to obtain comments from the public and other interested parties. The session will involve a brief slide presentation and then Council and the consultants will be available for discussion and questions.

Information regarding the ESP is available on the Township’s website: www.admastonbromley.com and at the municipal office.

The devastating consequences of drinking and driving can last a lifetime.

Scott was only four years old when Eileen Mabel Scott (nee Steele) of Renfrew was killed Sept. 4, 1960 in an horrific head-on crash on the highway between Antrim and the Mississippi River bridge.

Eileen Scott died at the age of 28, leaving her husband, Walter, a widower, and three children – Janice, Callum and Robert – without a mother.

AGRICULTURE

Corn residue hampers no-till, monster plows built to bury trash It’s going to be interesting to see how big the grain corn crop will be this fall. How many bushels an acre will the double cobbed corn yield? I’m guessing we’ll be hearing of 240-bushel yields in eastern Ontario.

When I started farming fulltime 40 years ago this month, 100-bushels an acre was a dandy yielding crop. One hundred bushels an acre was the average corn crop 30 years ago. Twenty years ago it was deemed as a poor-yielding crop. If you had a 100-bushel crop 10 years ago you weren’t making any money. And if you had that yield in recent

lations. Seed companies have developed corn with new triple stack hybrids that are producing healthier roots and thereby higher grain corn yields.

I see one huge problem with the high yielding corn crops. The trash – the crop residue – will have to be removed or plowed down. If the mat of stuff stays on the surface it will be impossible to no-till wheat, soybeans or canola crop into the ground the following spring. It will have to be plowed down. And there goes the no-till philosophy.

It’s already happening.

Last spring, at the Ottawa Val-

MAYNARD VAN DER GALIEN RURAL ROUTES years, you were definitely losing money. Corn growers have been getting 150-200 bushels in recent years. Now the quest is for 300 bushels in a few years. Seed companies and crop scientists say it’s possible. They say growing 200 bushels can be accomplished with good management.

For 300 bushels, farmers will need cleaner fields, better plant nutrition and higher plant popu-

ley Farm Show in Ottawa, I saw a very long 10-furrow prototype plow on display outside near the entrance gate. The plow was built for turning over corn stalks and trash. A sign on the plow said it was sold. I was curious who bought the monster plow and sought out the salesman inside the building. I knew the man and he informed me that a cash-cropper with 2,000 acres of corn had bought the plow. The plow was listed at $85,000.

I thought cash croppers with huge acreages no-tilled and rotated their crops. Didn’t no-till replace tillage and plowing?

The corn grower found he was getting too much “rock hard” residue from his Bt corn. The residue wouldn’t break down and rot. The farmer was going to plow all his corn fields.

Many growers have found that their no-till soybeans were yielding considerably less when planted into a heavy mat of corn residue. Soybeans planted in plowed or worked up soils gave a five- and sometimes a 10-bushel yield increase over no-till beans.

This fall we’ll see more and more monster tillage equipment and plows in the fields burying all that corn thrash.

Kelly drives to fair’s second consecutive derby crown PETER CLARK

peter.clark@metroland.com

Having seen good friend Jason Pasco win the Renfrew Fair demolition derby on seven occasions over the years, it is now Shawn Kelly who is etching out his own derby history.

After winning a thrilling last-car standing, two-man battle over Pasco in the final last year, Kelly came back to dominate a Pascoless field on the opening night of the 2010 Renfrew Fair at the wheel of car 01 last Wednesday night, Sept. 8.

The reward for the Burnstown resident was the event’s top hardware plus $750 in prize money before the usual solid fan turnout at the grandstand and in the bleachers.

The serious threat of rain didn’t deter townsfolk and visitors from flocking to the fairgrounds for the derby. It rained briefly, but not enough to chase the enthusiastic crowd.

Kelly was joined by pitman and son Cody Leskie to receive the championship trophy and cash prize from Glen Kennedy of Xtreme Productions, who ran the derby for the fifth year.

The triumph was Kelly’s third in four demolition derbies this season. Other wins came in Gloucester and Spencerville.

He outlasted Jamie Friske in car No. 27 in the final, but Friske didn’t go home empty handed. He won the Jamie Wright Memorial Award which goes to the driver of the worst – or best – wrecked car, depending on how one looks at it.

Other drivers to qualify for the final in the large (eight cylinder) car field included Earl Anderson, car 18; Wes Vanderploeg, 14; Mike Wright, 4; and Sheldon Barr, 7.

Two other division champions were

also declared.

Sherrill Brydges in her car No. 18 was the recipient of $500 after fending off Steven Walters in the four-cylinder car final.

Although six vehicles qualified for the four-cylinder feature, it was a tough night on competitors as only four cars answered the call to the post.

Kyle Cybulski captured the four-cylinder division last year, and reached his second winner’s podium in as many years at the Renfrew Fair by taking home the sixcylinder title Wednesday.

The Burnstown driver piloted car No. 909 past runner-up Trevor Stokes (5) in the feature event. That earned Cybulski $750.

BEST DECORATED Also handed out at the 16th Renfrew derby was the trophy for the best decorated car. Six cars were entered in this category prior to the opening heat, and based on the applause from the crowd, the 2010 winner was Mary Ann Brewer with her car No. 9.

Again on hand to make things run smoothly were the Renfrew Fire Department, St. John Ambulance and Dave Bennett, who supplied the equipment for the derby.

Many demolition derby participants and enthusiasts already have Oct. 2 circled on their calendars.

The Arnprior Fall Brawl is taking place that Saturday.

The winners of V8 and V6 divisions will take home $3,000 while the four-cylinder champ will pocket $1,200.

There are also cash prizes for second and third, as well as the heat winners.

For more details or to enter, call Scott Rancourt at 613-227-4200 or Ed Carron at 613-623-7307 or 613-769-5775.

Pigskin, football and food An annual highlight at Renfrew Collegiate Institute is the Raiders Pigskin Parade during Spirit Week at the high school.

This year’s parade is set for Thursday, Sept. 23. The parade leaves the front of RCI at noon, winds past the Mercury and makes its way down Raglan Street en route to Lindsay Field at Ma-Te-Way Park for the Raiders football doubleheader versus the Almonte Thunderbolts.

Among the attractions in the parade will be Ray McLaughlin’s prize-winning Clydesdale horses.

Also this year, whether you plan to take in the football games or not, the Raiders ask, when you line the streets to take in the parade, bring an item to donate to the Renfrew and District Food Bank. The school will appreciate your support.

Honour in limbo: As of last week, 2005 Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush was in jeopardy of having his award taken away, No player in the award’s 75-year history has ever had his name removed from the Heisman.

That’s saying something when the list includes such outstanding citizens as 1968 Heisman winner Orenthal James Simpson. Oops. I forgot. O.J. was proven

PETER CLARK PETER’S PUTTERINGS innocent.

• The Chicago Blackhawks are breathing easier these days. In lieu of the New Jersey Devils’ original contract with Ilya Kovalchuk being rescinded by an arbitrator, some teams were concerned the league might question the credibility of some other long-term contracts.

One that had been under scrutiny was the Marian Hossa deal with Chicago.

A source who asked not to be named said had the deal been scrapped, Hossa would have been deemed an ineligible player. The Blackhawks would have forfeited the Stanley Cup, and San Jose and Philadelphia would have met in a quick best-of-three series played on neutral ice to decide the 2010 Cup champion. * * * Roger Clemens won two of his seven Cy Young Awards in his two years with the Toronto Blue Jays.

And for this week: Who was the first captain of the Vancouver Canucks?

Narrow loss in season opener PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

The Renfrew Timberwolves battled the defending Valley Division champion Perth Blue Wings to the bitter end at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre Sunday night.

But the visitors had that extra push to outlast the Wolves 5-4 in the 2010-11 Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League curtain raiser.

For two periods, the Wolves showed no quit as they overcame 1-0, 31 and 4-2 deficits against the team who swept them in last spring’s division final.

However, despite the 38-save performance from netminder Mike Rosebrook, Perth was able to make the final period’s lone breakthrough when Dan Weir stuffed home a rebound to snap a 4-4 deadlock with 10:34 remaining.

Weir and Nick Brunet both had two goals for the Blue Wings. Ben Minkus added one.

The Wolves enjoyed a good night on the powerplay as all four Renfrew markers came with the man advantage.

Jordan Welk, Jesse Riopelle, Kirk Scebo and Darin Leroux kept the Wolves in contention. Scebo was also named Renfrew Pizzeria Timberwolves player-ofthe-game, and honour now handed out at each home game.

Perth’s Troy Anderson faced 23 Renfrew shots in earning the victory.

Fifteen penalties were

dealt out with Perth taking nine and the Wolves six.

LEARNING CANADA’S GAME Top Draft Sports held a successful summer camp that was held at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre during the past couple of weeks of August and early September under the instruction of Tony Iob, Shane Sullivan, Kyle Fletcher, Drew Anderson, Chris Valentine and Glen Patterson. About 65 kids participated from the Ottawa Valley with an age of novice through midget in the two-week session. Daily sessions included three hours of on-ice advanced skills training and three hours of intense off-ice training.

THE 19th ANNUAL CONSTANT LAKE CLASSIC BASS TOURNAMENT JULY 31, 2010

Brothers duplicate fishing feat at Constant Lake Classic PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

Jeff and Steven Barber emerged the top anglers once again.

The two brothers successfully defended their title at the 19th Constant Lake Classic Bass Tournament July 31.

The popular event – organized

by Tom Hyland of Dagenais Construction – is headquartered annually at the Butler Cottage.

The winning team is declared by the combined weight of five fish.

The Barbers’ total weight was

17 pounds, just one pound off the weight of their winning total from last year.

The duo of Shawn Martin and Brad Warren brought in the biggest fish, a five-pound. twoounce large mouth bass.

The 2010 classic drew 41 teams.

All competitors complied with federal and provincial boating and angling rules, and only large- and smallmouth bass were eligible to be weighed in. It was catch and release of all fish.

For more on the event, see the advertisement on this page.

Semis underway PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

“As good as each team was in one game, that’s as bad as they were in the other game.”

Sounds like a quote from Fox baseball analyst Tim McCarver describing the first two games of the Scheel Communications/Zig Zag Ma-Te-Way Men’s Slo Pitch League semifinal series.

Both teams posted a lop-sided victory to leave the best-of-five set deadlocked at a game apiece Sept. 7 before rain invaded Ma-Te-Way Park.

Joel Corbin, Joel Ferguson and pitcher Ken Scerba homered to pace Zig Zag to a 21-8 victory in the curtain raiser. Brian Vanderploeg and Jon Vanderploeg collected four hits.

Shannon Manion took the loss for Scheel, but was the winning chucker as his team romped to a 28-13 win in the nightcap. Chad Mullen homered among five hits for Scheel’s. Tom Cobus also notched five hits and scored five times. Denver Mullen and Matt Beimers suppled four hits.

Mark Simons went deep for Zig Zag. Scheel’s also beat the rain, which arrived while they were batting with two out in the top of the sixth inning. With five innings in the books, it became an official game.

League-leading ProTyre has grabbed a 2-0 lead in their set with Ottawa Valley Glass on the strength of 22-15 and 21-16 wins.

Winning pitcher Dan Lavallee had 10 hits in the doubleheader. Neil Lockwood (two home runs) and Dave Howard added nine. Jason Marshall had a five-hit game and Frank Visneskie a home run.

Sean Smith slugged two round trippers and Shane Lambert one for OVG. – With files from Jeff Rekowski

Behind the Glass: Registration ANDY SKLEPOWICZ Renfrew Curling Rink

The end of the Renfrew Fair, nights needing a warm blanket, my garden yielding a rich late harvest are signals that summer is coming to an end.

For many people this is a sad time of the year. But for one group the cooling temperatures start to get the blood flowing a little faster and there is a gleam in their eyes. They are renewing efforts to do that extra bit of stretching, weights and road work that they had promised to keep up with, but that had fallen to the wayside in the balmy days of summer.

The road work had quickly turned to the frequent trips to the fridge where they stretched to reach for that last cold one. And the weights became the many reps of arm curls of the ever-diminishing 12 ounces. And so as others regret summer’s end curlers look forward to another great season of activity, friendship and good cheer and besides, the first draw is all about getting into shape anyway.

It is with a bit of apprehension and the understanding and good nature of the people at the Renfrew Mercury that this column makes its return to bring you the news from the Renfrew curling club and the occasional meander down some tangent that should happen to pop into this writer’s head.

Thank you to all who have commented on the column and it is especially gratifying that many kind words have come from non-curlers as well as curlers. Please comment on what you like or dislike and please share ideas and suggestions that you have, as this second year will prove challenging to keep the writing fresh.

I would be amiss if I did not give at least one update today and so please mark on your calendars Friday, Sept. 24 from 7-9 as the time for this year’s registration at the Renfrew Curling Club. Please make the effort to come out and register at this time as it helps to make everything run smoother for all the organizers. Good curling.

Kyte to speak 25 years of fishing and fundraising at ceremony Jim Kyte understands the meaning of perseverance in sports. The Ottawa native became the first legally deaf player to play in the National Hockey League and was nominated for the Bill Masterton Trophy twice during his 13-year career. The award recognizes the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey.

Kyte will tell his inspiring story and speak of the importance of sports to a community when he takes the podium as the guest speaker at the Upper Ottawa Valley Sports Honour Roll Induction ceremony on Wednesday, Oct. 13 at the Germania Club in Pembroke.

A first round draft pick of the Winnipeg Jets in 1982, Kyte played with several clubs including Calgary, Pittsburgh, Winnipeg, San Jose and Ottawa. He retired from hockey in 1998 and remains an active member of the Ottawa Senators alumni and was a co-chair on the organizing committee that brought the World Junior Hockey Championships to Ottawa two years ago.

In 2004, Ottawa Life Magazine slotted Kyte number 10 on its list of Ottawa’s top 50 people.

Inducted into the Upper Ottawa Valley Sports Honour Roll will be Ottawa Senators general manager, Bryan Murray, three-time World Winter Games Special Olympian medalist Brian Dinwoodie, and Pembroke Skating Club lifetime executive Ann Cochrane.

Tickets for the induction ceremony and dinner cost $35 and are avail910 able at all ScoO'BRIEN RD. tiabank branches in Renfrew RENFREW County.

Eric Haskin brought in the prize-winning pike in the junior division at the 25th annual Dickies Fish Derby on Shanahan’s Lake. He is congratulated by derby organizer Rick Culligan.

415451

The 25th annual Dickies Fish Derby held Aug. 14 on Shanahan’s Lake was another great success.

Organized by Rick Culligan, the event has raised funds for worthy causes throughout the past quarter century.

“We don’t charge to enter, but we have donation jars so people can make contributions,” Culligan said.

This year all monies donated went to the Sharon Karr Fund.

Karr is a relative of a long-time derby participant. Funds raised will help offset the cost of her surgery in the United States for her MS procedure, Culligan noted.

This year’s junior winners were Eric Haskin, who reeled in a four-pound, three-ounce pike; and Dawson Stroud with a twopound bass.

Senior winners were Rick Quade, who brought a 12 lb. 1 oz. pike to the weigh scale, and Dave D’angelo with a 5 lb. 14 oz. bass.

Culligan thanks all who participated. He hopes to see you all again next year.

Raycroft filed his nomination papers Sept. 9, a day before the deadline.

Sitting councillor Andy Dunlop became the fifth candidate in the councillor race the same day.

However, when it became apparent that there would be only one candidate for deputy mayor, Christine Blimkie (Sauve), Dunlop switched his nomination to that position just before the 2 p.m. deadline Friday.

The municipal election in Arnprior took an unexpected twist Friday as nomination deadline approached.

Mayor Terry Gibeau filed his nomination papers, but for councillor and not for mayor as many expected.

Sitting councillor Nancy Black switched from running for a councillor position to taking a shot at the mayor’s chair.

So did businessman and former MP Jim Silye.

The entry of Black and Silye into the mayor’s race brings to five the number seeking to lead town council for the next four years.

Doug Smith, David Reid and Ted Kelly are also seeking to be elected town mayor Oct. 25.

Gillies House co-owner Alex Winter has joined the race for reeve. He faces incumbent reeve Walter Stack and sitting councillors Eric Burton and Tom Peckett in the contest to represent the town on Renfrew County council.

The entry of Gibeau and sitting councillor Jack Lammert Friday to the councillor race, as well as Black and Silye’s departure, leaves nine candidates vying for five positions. Filing earlier were incumbent Mark Willmer and Doug Munro, Ted Strike, Joe Zarb, Dan Lynch, Lynn Grinstead and Lyle Anderson.

The last-minute filings mean all incumbent councillors are running for re-election, although

four of them are seeking differ- frew County District School Board; Andy Bray for ent positions on council from the same district (plus Greater Madawaska) in the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board; what they currently hold.

Members of the St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic High School Student Council for the 201011 school year have been identified.

Under the leadership of Julia Rowat as prime minister, the other members of Student Council are Mary Werry as finance minister, Holly Mahusky and Marissa Lewis as our ministers of spirit, Dustin Garron as our student trustee and I, Victoria Slight, will continue in the position of public relations minister.

The position of environmental minister and secretary remains vacant but will soon be filled. On Sept. 20 to 24, St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s High Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new spirit ministers, Holly Mahusky and Marissa Lewis, will be showing their school spirit by hosting our annual fall spirit week.

The week will start off with Jaguar Day, where students will dress in our school apparel or wear our school colours, burgundy and grey.

On Tuesday, we will have mixed-prints

day, where students will mix-match different prints to create a fashion disaster.

For example, someone may wear a leopard print shirt but mix it with zebra print pants.

Wednesday will be crazy hair day when students will be encouraged to do their hair in different wacky ways to see who will have the craziest hair.

On Thursday, we will be seeing multiples, when students will be pairing together with friends and will dress as twins or triplets.

The week will end with house colours day. This is a day where students will be assigned a colour and will compete against the other colour teams in different games and activities to see which team shows the greatest school spirit and gather the most points.

Spirit week provides a fun opportunity for students to relax and have a good time while still doing their school work. It is especially beneficial for newer students in the school to meet others and to create new friendships.

ARE YOU ON THE VOTER’S LIST? Carmen Costello (Maureen McCoy) swoons as Elvis Presley (Roddy McCann) croons to her in the 2010 Edition of ON THE AIR with Mac’s Melodiers by Stone Fence Theatre Also in the photo are Ish Theilheimer on fiddle, John Haslam on washboard, and Ken Ramsden, guitar.

Stone Fence fall season opens Sept. 24 with J.P. Cormier After a summer featuring concerts by Grievous Angel, Gail Gavan, and April Verch as well as the 2010 Edition of ON THE AIR with Mac’s Melodiers, Stone Fence Theatre is back this fall in Eganville.

The company has added a new event to its season, with a Sept. 24 concert with East Coast Music Award winner J.P. Cormier from Cape Breton. Cormier brings the Elliott Brothers with him, Mike on string bass and Bill on guitar.

The concert is a joint production of Stone Fence Theatre and Charles MacPhail of Perth, Ont., with a portion of proceeds going to benefit the ALS Society.

J.P. Cormier learned to play guitar by listening to Chet Atkins and Doc Watson.

Atkins has described him as “one of the most important guitar players of his generation.” In addition to guitar, he plays fiddle, 12-string guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, drums, percussion, synthesizer and piano. He straddles many different genres, including bluegrass, folk and Celtic.

Following the Cormier concert, there will be four more supper performances of the 2010 Edition of ON THE AIR with Mac’s Melodiers.

This year’s show includes a lot of new comedy and top-flight musical guests. One show in July even included Elvis Presley (Roddy McCann) and Minnie Pearl (Debbie Bechamp).

This fall’s guests include Barney McCaffrey, Guy Jamieson, Pat Moore, Dai Bassett, Diana Walker, Brian Hebert, Shirley Watson, Ray Chapeskie, Charity Ross, and, once again, Elvis. The performance schedule for ON THE AIR with Mac’s Melodiers this fall is on Saturdays Sept. 25, Oct. 2, 16 and 23, all at 6 p.m. Tickets for dinner theatre cost $42 plus tax.

In addition to performing in its home venue, the Eagle’s Nest at the Eganville Community Centre, Stone Fence Theatre also takes its show on the road.

It performed last April in Pembroke at the convention of the Ontario Professional Foresters and in August in Sheenboro, Que. The company will appear Nov. 13 in Micksburg, presented by the Micksburg Community Association as well as at the Pembroke Mall for a mini-show at 2 p.m. on Oct. 23.

For information or tickets for all events, call the box office at 613-757-1001 or tollfree 1-866-310-1004.

IMPORTANT NOTICE The Town of Renfrew wishes to advise residential, commercial and institutional users that hydrant flow testing is being performed on the Renfrew Water Distribution System from Monday, September 20, 2010 to Friday, October 8, 2010.

This testing is essential to confirm how much fire flow is available from each municipal hydrant in the distribution system.

During this time the water distribution system will experience disturbance of sediment that will cause red water in some areas. If red water is observed residents should run the cold water to drain until the water returns to a clear condition.

Water system pressures will also be affected for short periods of time over the three week period which may cause temporary disruptions to residential, commercial and institutional fixtures.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the Department of Development and Works at (613) 432-8166.

Yours truly, Mike Asselin, Director Development & Works

Renfrew voters in the upcoming municipal election won’t be able to say: “I had no chance to get to the polls.”

The advance-schedule released

by Renfrew clerk Kim Bulmer at Monday’s council meeting shows voters will have advance polls for paper ballots on Monday through Saturday of the week Oct. 18 to 23, in addition to the 10-hour voting window on election day, Oct. 25.

And if planning to use the online or telephone system to record your vote, residents will be able to cast those non-paper ballots any time from midnight on Sunday, Oct. 17 to 8 p.m. on election day.

The advance polls at the downtown municipal office will also coincide with a voter help centre.

Those hours are Oct. 18 and 19, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; Wednesday, Oct. 20, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Oct. 21 and 22 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; and Saturday, Oct. 23, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

In total, electors will have 51 hours of voting time at advance polls, plus election day’s additional 10 hours.

There’s also another option for residents in various long-term care facilities who aren’t voting online or at the municipal office, with voting hours on site.

Friends called at the Anderson Funeral Home 22 Raglan St. S. Renfrew on Friday 12 noon – 12:45 p.m., where Mass of Christian Burial was held at Our Lady of Fatima Church, Renfrew on Friday September 10th at 1 p.m. Interment St. Francis Xavier Cemetery.
