staff,” he emphasizes. He also says Admaston-Bromley has a good group of steve.newman@metroland.com councillors. However, only two will be returned to the fiveRobert Dick says his dad left the lasting impres- member council. Coun. Jack Kelly will remain if he upsets sion that a job worth doing was a job worth doing well. His father (Barclay) died in 1990, but his strong work ethic and attention to detail in the cattle, cashcrop and pedigree-seed business led to his induction into the Ontario Agriculture Hall of Fame. Robert, now 64, doesn’t claim to be the perfectionist his dad was, in an industry where it can be difficult to thrive. But he says he has certainly learned not to take too much for granted. “The world markets are challenging for a return on investment, but we’re still in it,” says the Douglas-area farmer while relaxing at home. His home is part of Dick Farms’ 2,000 acres, which includes about 1,000 acres in cash-crop and home to a decades-old successful bull evaluation program. “We’re equity rich, but cash poor,” says the Admaston-Bromley councillor, who first joined municipal politics in 1997 when elected with the largest number of votes of any Bromley Township candidate for councillor. “Maybe it’s not much different that running a municipality.” Following amalgamation, to form AdmastonBromley, he was acclaimed in 2000, 2003 and 2006. Acclamation won’t happen this time, however, as John Holyer has also filed his nomination papers in Ward 2. Holyer, who was the last of seven councillor-candidates to file, says it’s time someone other than a farmer represented the ward. “There’s nothing wrong with competition,” says Dick, who didn’t file his papers until Aug. 23. Holyer was the last to file, on Sept. 9. “I guess I was doubting whether my heart was into it, but mainly I didn’t get around to it,” explains Dick. “I was more leaning toward doing it than not doing it.” He says he’s still interested in helping to run the municipality. “I’m not interested in politics, per se. Like the business I’m in, it has some challenges. It takes dollars coming in and it takes dollars for operating.” Dick says his faming experience goes a long way toward understanding what local residents are about because farmers are literally exposed to so much of society, like its economic, environmental and social components. Also, as he starts to reduce his workload on the farm, Dick says he wants to stay active and continue to enjoy being part of the township’s municipal team. “That’s the heart of the municipality, a good

Heins seeking fifth term as Renfrew mayor STEVE NEWMAN Heins Supertest Gas & Grocery was at the front and centre of life for Sandi Heins as she grew up in Renfrew. Born in Arnprior, she moved to Renfrew with parents Earl and Delauris Heins when she was one and a half years old and went on to have what she describes as an enriching childhood. “I certainly learned the value of family and … my dad would always say whatever happens, you have to find the good in it, and move on. That’s certainly one of my mottos,” says Heins, who was the last of three candidates to file her nomination papers for Renfrew mayor. The 50-something Renfrewite is now seeking a fifth straight term as head of council. The other candidates are Coun. Bill Ringrose and Callum Scott, who was the first to file, several months ago. One of the few times Heins has left Renfrew for a lengthy period was during kinesiology and recreation studies at the University of Waterloo in the mid1970s. They weren’t completed, though, as her dad turned ill and she came home for good. During that return, she landed a job with the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services. Now an income support specialist, she has worked more than 34 years for the ministry and anticipates taking early retirement within the next two years. As for retiring from municipal politics, that’s not the imme-
diate plan, says Heins. First elected to Renfrew council in the mid 1980s, she served three terms as a councillor, two terms as deputy reeve, and quickly became mayor when incumbent Howie Haramis died in late 1998. She was unanimously supported, by the council of the day, to become head of council. “Howie was certainly my mentor; just the things he showed and told me, and the things he allowed me to do,” says Heins with a sense of fondness. “I would say we were confidants. I felt he really felt he could trust me.” When Haramis became sick in the summer of 1998, Heins would retrieve his mail and distributed the correspondence where he asked. “I really felt he was going to get better,” recalls Heins. He didn’t, but Haramis’s death paved the door to one of the most energizing and fulfilling activities of Heins’ life. She describes the sense of pride felt in representing her hometown this way: “It’s an awesome energy. It energizes you like nothing else I can explain.” The part-time job also takes up an enormous amount of time, but so it should, suggests Heins. “I make it my No. 1 priority, and if you’d ask my family, they would tell you that.” Her mother organized many events around Heins’ municipal life, but her mother died in October 2009. “She was my rock,” says Heins. She also offered her daughter
Surprise, Yakabuski to run again
Last Saturday, Arnprior resident Doug Scheels nominated Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke Conservative MPP John Yakabuski as the party’s candidate in next year’s provincial election.

The
Sandi Heins a bit of advice on the issue one day: “Go look at yourself in the mirror, and if you’ve made an honest and fair decision, get on with it, move on.” And so Heins says she has. Upon questioning, though, Heins says there was a lot of misunderstanding about the negotiations between the town and George Jackson Toyota owners Dave and Warren La Rocque. One of the points of contention was the required security deposit for developing the land in Renfrew’s southeast corner. That amount was dropped from $1.5 million to $750,000 in efforts to help Toyota expand out of its cramped quarters in the opposite end of town. But that wasn’t enough, said Toyota. Charging no security deposit couldn’t be justified, says Heins, especially with the knowledge many other developers still pay
100 per cent security deposits. “It’s unfortunate it took the role of being a newspaper centrefold (from Toyota). If I could learn anything, we chose not to take out a centrefold (when perhaps we should have). We chose to write only one letter,” says Heins. Maybe a more forceful advertising campaign was required, but the mayor says she’s not convinced residents would have supported that use of taxpayers’ money. Meanwhile, there is much for the next council to deal with, she says. Heins, who admits she considered not running, says she was definitely encouraged by community members to run again. It’s not only the positive energy that comes from the job, but the importance of future and ongoing projects that motivates her campaign, says Heins. Like the direction provided by the tourism committee as the town strives to find a marketing niche or two. Like the realization of the recreation master plan’s major priorities, including the pool and second ice pad. Like recruitment of more doctors by the health services village board that’s chaired by Heins. “We need to secure some doctors. We need to have an announcement. We are going to have an announcement,” she insists.” Meanwhile, cost-shared government funding will materialize for the pool and/or second ice pad only if the groups lobbying for the swimming pool and the pad ‘pool’ their resources, insists Heins.
The long-time supporter and member of the provincial Progressive Conservative Riding Association nominated him at the meeting in the Cobden Legion. The seconder was PC Ontario youth member Valerie Trudel.
If re-elected, Heins says one of her priorities will be to utilize her rapport with provincial and federal government officials to seek those funds. If the search for government funds isn’t entirely successful, Heins says the town will have to look at the major projects in phases. Waste management isn’t the least of the current council’s concerns, either, she says. Progress in waste management has progressed in recent years, but she adds: “We have some work to do with waste management. Certainly, Horton is into grinding their garbage. I think we have to explore that, and I believe they’d be interested in partnering with us.” Whatever the issues, Heins says she’s eager to continue to lead council with her particular leadership style. She suggests it’s not some critics’ favoured style, but says she has “a real desire for everyone (on council) to know what I know.” As mayor, Heins sees council as a team. “It’s really important as a leader to bring that all together,” she explains. “I think I have a very positive attitude. I look to find the good in things.” Similarly, she says she’ll continue to encourage public input on various town issues. An example was parking problems around Renfrew Victoria Hospital and public feedback that resulted in parking restrictions on some neighbours’ streets and the creation of more expensive paid-parking zones (this fall) nearer the emergency department.
Yakabuski, who has served as riding MPP for the last two terms, is House Leader for the PC Caucus and Energy Critic for the Official Opposition. The election will be held Oct. 6, 2011.

More transparency needed in Horton, says candidate STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com
He was never the pilot he wanted to be. But David Brown still landed a job in the Canadian Air Force, where he worked as a radar technician and met the love of his life. Forty-nine years into that marriage with Anne, he’s living in Horton Township, retired (after working several years for General Electric and the Ottawa Civic Hospital) and looking to contribute as a council member. One of 11 candidates seeking four councillor positions, he says he’s running “because there’s no transparency.” Case in point is the day he came by the municipal office and noticed vehicles in the parking lot bearing Quebec licence plates. Upon enquiring, he says he was told contractors doing drywall on the expanded municipal office were friends of one Horton councillor. He also checked with Renfrew-area companies to see if they had a chance to bid on the work, and was told no. Spending at the township level is also of concern to him and others, says Brown. “Everyone’s upset about the cost of the skating rink (roof and boards). And now some want to enclose it and put artificial ice on it,” he claimed. “I skate there. My wife does too, and (area) children do. It’s well used for the length of time the ice is here … but let’s pay off the debt first before spending more money on the rink.” This fall, construction or rehab work continues on township roads. Gos-
David Brown hen Road was just surface treated, and substantial reconstruction is happening on Garden of Eden Road, but other roads require attention, too, says Brown. Meanwhile, lack of transparency is the biggest issue voters are concerned with in this election, he points out. “The biggest problem I hear, door to door, is they don’t know what’s going on, like who’s getting the tenders. They don’t know what’s coming up in upand-coming meetings, what has and hasn’t been passed,” said Brown, one of the few residents to periodically attend council meetings. Many meetings are not attended by any members of the public. In entering the election race, Brown, 73, says the qualities he’d bring to council include “a voice of reason,” life experiences and his easygoing nature. “My neighbours all talk to me because I talk to them. What’s the saying? Be a good neighbour and you’ll have a good neighbour.” Those life experiences
include growing up in a poor Winnipeg family before he left town at age 16 to live in Edson, Alta., and paid his living expenses by working as a part-time fireman for the railway. “Life was tough,” recalls Brown. “We had no money. My father was a dreamer. He was always chasing rainbows … there was nothing to eat at home.” Brown later came to live where he worked, in Georgia, Manitoba, Toronto, Quebec, North Bay and the national capital area. Six years ago, the Browns, now parents to four adult-age children and nine grandchildren, moved to Horton. His wife is happy volunteering for various causes, including the Renfrew hospital, Hospice Renfrew and Horton community centre breakfasts, while he volunteers for Valley Heritage Radio and the Bluegrass Festival. He’s also a former trustee with the Carleton Board of Education, in the mid 1980s, when he lived in Richmond. His hobbies are astronomy, gardening, kayaking and fishing. “The lights of Renfrew are killing me because they interfere with my telescope,” says Brown, who has two powerful scopes set up at home. That gives him a better view of the sky, while at ground level there could be an interesting race for mayor, among Rod Ballantyne and councillors Dave Bennett and Don Eady. “An awful lot of people want Ballantyne because they want a change,” says Brown. At the same time, he says some residents also question the extent of Ballantyne’s involvement in the community.
Timing of candidates forum questioned An all-candidates meeting in Calabogie less than 10 days before the end of voting has some candidates questioning why it is being held so late in the campaign. The Calabogie and Area Business Association has organized the forum for Saturday, Oct. 16 from 3 to 5 p.m. in the Calabogie Community Centre. All three reeve candidates and councillor hopefuls from all three wards have been invited to answer questions from the public. Lawyer Chris Merla will be the moderator. An all-candidates meeting for the reeve
and Ward 3 councillor candidates has been scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 7 at the Griffith Lions Hall. There is also talk of a Ward 2 forum at the DACA Centre, but there was no confirmation of a date by press time. Ward 1 councillor candidate Glenda McKay questioned why the Calabogie meeting is being held after the October long weekend when most of the cottagers have closed their residents. Others suggested that many voters could have already cast their ballots by Oct. 16 under the mail-in vote system.

‘We’re trying to boost recycling and landfill expansion for the future’ Continued from Page 2 Wards 3 and 4 feature candidates who have not served on municipal council. Like several other councillor-candidates, Dick says there are no real issues in the Admaston-Bromley election. There are really just jobs to get done, he suggests. Like work with the Province on speciesat-risk legislation. Like ensuring property owners receive proper compensation for livestock killed by predators. Like ensuring the road network remains in good shape, as the township spends about half its budget on road upkeep. Like updating waste-management facilities.
“We have a healthy situation,” says ability to compromise. Dick of waste management. “But we’re Away from municipal council, he entrying to boost recycling and expansion joys hunting moose and deer, and spend(so we have landfill space) for the future.” On the livestock fatalities, he adds, “I guess more predator control is needed … The general public often doesn’t understand that agriculture is the general habitat for these species (of bears, turkeys, deer and wolves). “Gone are the days when the bears go back in the woods and just eat berries on their own.” In looking for a fifth term on council, he says his strengths include a knowledge of finances, strength in negotiating, and the
ing time with his six grandchildren. He and Patricia have been married since 1970.

Nominate an outstanding young citizen

It’s that time of year once again. The seasons are changing from summer to fall, children and families everywhere are preparing for a fresh start to the school year, and local political leaders are gearing up for the upcoming municipal elections by promoting their plans for growth and positive change to their communities. While there may be only one winning candidate, and ultimately one leader responsible for making our community a better place, there are numerous youth who do just as much, if not more, without recognition. These extraordinary young people intuitively understand what the word “community” is really about and selflessly give their time to various causes, making them community leaders in their own right. So who are these youth and where can we find them? They are all over this community – volunteering with local groups, schools, churches and sports teams. It is just a matter of picking them out of the crowd. This newspaper strongly supports the Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards here in Renfrew so we can provide recognition for such outstanding young people who are, and will continue to be, fine examples of leaders in our community. The awards program is co-coordinated by the Ontario Community Newspapers Association (OCNA), of which we are a member. Any Ontario resident ages six to 17 is eligible to receive an Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Award. FOUR NOMINATION AREAS Please help us by nominating an individual in one of four areas: • A person involved in worthwhile community service. • A special young person contributing to their community while living with a physical or psychological limitation. • Someone who has performed an act of heroism in the past year. • Young people who show a commitment to making life better for others and those who do more than is normally expected of someone their age. Up to 12 nominees will be chosen as the final recipients of the provincial award and will be invited to a ceremony held in Niagara Falls in the spring of 2011. Each nominee will receive a certificate. The nomination deadline for the 2010 Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards is Nov. 30. Nomination forms are available at www.ocna. org or by calling OCNA at 905-639-8720, ext. 239.
LETTER
Dog-gone, exhausting run through town To the editor: On Thursday, Sept. 9, it took more than a hero...it took a whole group of heroes, to catch this little white dog that looked like a lamb running rampant throughout Renfrew, up and down the main street. That little guy ran non-stop, running and dodging us all, from what I know of, upon seeing him at about 1 p.m. until we rescued him at 5 p.m. Without anyone letting him near him, he was shakenup, lost and frightened! Stealing the hearts of many! The final stop came at the end of a crescent on a quiet street away from downtown. Being a dog owner, I know getting down to their level helps, so I suggested to everyone to get down. Also, I had some water in my van for my dog and placed it about six feet away from us. He circled it, then finally took a drink. Progress! A younger girl followed this dog maybe six to seven blocks, with her father following in his vehicle, until she was out of breath.

She was not giving up on this little dog and was extremely compassionate towards rescuing him, not to mention along the way she had lost her shoes in her frantic state to not lose the dog. Patiently, we waited to gain the dog’s trust. The same little girl said too bad we didn’t have some food. I had just picked up my take-out supper before spotting him again and we gave him some chicken. He was hungry and ready to stop and eat. Slowly but surely, he warmed up to us and came closer. We had formed a circle at this point, maybe 10 of us, all strangers, all sitting on the road, and him now in the middle with his little legs just vibrating! Any attempt to touch him he’d jump, so we didn’t, he was still in a confused state and we didn’t want him to run again! One girl (the wife of the owner of Charlie’s Restaurant) said she had a cage at home and went to get it. The cage arrived and this was our moment. Was he going to surrender without putting up a fuss!

Larone back for another taste of Horton Twp. council steve.newman@metroland.com

After working 30 years in the aeronautics industry and 15 more running his own gas station and restaurant, Greg Zavitske wants to do more than enjoy retirement. He wants to spend a healthy part of it working as a member of Horton council. Now 63, and recently retired, the Renfrew native is taking a second crack at getting elected to municipal council. The first
Outside of work, Larone plays once a week at the Renfrew Golf Club, where he has been a member for 20 years, and enjoys motorcycling with his wife.

Jamey Larone Whether they’re returnees or long-term fixtures, residents will be listened to if he’s elected, says Larone. Self-employed for about 25 years, he explained: “I listen to the details of my customers, and all you do is try to offer solutions.� He’d also like to help the community with some of his own suggestions, including the establishment of a Horton business registry. “Why wouldn’t you promote those in your own area first?� he said. Also, he’s hearing “some people in the business community don’t like the tendering practices. There are things like that that have to be tweaked.� He also applauds current council members for facilitating George Jackson Toyota’s move to Horton. That’s a welcomed addition to the township’s tax base, but what Renfrew needs even more is doctors. “I’m a strong believer that the

Jamey Larone has built his own homes in both Horton and Admaston-Bromley townships. But this is the last of six, says the renovations specialist, who has taken three months off this year to build his and wife Heather’s final home. “We always knew we’d end up back in Horton,� said Larone, whose father George and grandfather Gordon grew up in the township. Now 48, Larone served on Horton council for the 1992-94 term, but didn’t seek re-election after moving to Admaston-Bromley. He could have bought some Horton property and remained in the race, but he says that’s not what voters want; they want representation from their home base. Now that he has returned to Horton, Larone welcomes the chance to return to council. “I feel we (as a council) could help accomplish a few things. I’m a common-sense guy,� explained Larone. “Whether it’s waste management or recycling or something else, there’s less money to do things than there used to be. As you do as a contractor, you talk to people and it’s communication that’s important as you seek to come up with answers.� Born in Dunnville, in the Lake Erie area, he moved as a young child to Horton with his father and mother (Lyle, who was from Petawawa). One of four siblings, Larone has been married for 26 years. Trained as a brick and stone mason, he has started his own businesses. One included Valley Pine, which he began in 2004 but sold two years ago. The other longer-standing renovations business continues to be successful through word of mouth and the quality of his service, he says. Meanwhile, he’s impressed by the number of housing starts in Horton. “While there’s still
growth in town (Renfrew), there has been more growth in the township,� said Larone. “People are coming to the Valley. Their families have gone away and come back to retire.�

ELECTION
Lonergan campaigns to make a difference on home turf STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com
The streaks of colour in Theresa Lonergan’s hair are the first hint that something’s up. Like challenges on the home front and the challenge of a municipal election, perhaps? Regarding herself as the conservative type, she says it’s a move into unfamiliar territory when she had her hair streaked lime green, gold, blue and red in support for her sister, Mary, who has been diagnosed with stagefour lymphoma. All the colours mean something. The green and gold for the Lymphoma Society, the blue for other blood cancers, and red for the Canadian Cancer Society. Those colours will stay intact during her sister’s few months of treatment, but her hair should be back to normal with a second tribute to her sister − the scaling of Mount St. Helens next year. “If I can make it up Mount St. Helens, you can beat lymphoma,� she has told her 53-year-old sister, who is undergoing treatment. So, Theresa is tackling the challenge of getting fitter and getting elected to office. “I’ve never dyed my hair,�
says Lonergan, 52, who lost both of her parents to cancer. Her dad, Peter Rekowski, who grew up in Renfrew, died in 1991. He’s part of the Rekowski family whose Renfrew County roots reach back several generations. These include such Hortonbased cousins as Dave Rekowski, Mary Dedo and Ev Ferguson. The mother of two children and foster parent of another 12 from 1997 to 2002, Lonergan says Horton has been a wonderful place to raise them all. When they first moved to Horton almost 20 years ago, she and husband Paul erected a sign that read El Paradisio, or Latin for paradise. But she says Horton’s way of life can still be improved and she’d like to make contributions, in that regard, as a council member. If not elected, she plans to find a job in office administration, after recently making the dean’s honours list at Algonquin College, and continue to stay involved in Horton. If elected, she says she’ll put her administration skills to good use, and work hard for things like a proper beach. “Why should we go out of Horton to go swimming when there
Theresa Lonergan is an option in our backyard that we should be developing?� wonders Lonergan. She has never held political office, but she has been active on the sidelines. She co-chaired the recreation sub-committee that resurrected the Canada Day breakfasts. She also chaired a campaign to raise $4,000 for Dennis Gagne and Lydia Worm
whose Horton century home was demolished by fire. She says Horton also needs to do more research to help residents understand such issues as septage treatment, especially since Horton has started its own lime stabilization project. “Given the changing environment of septage management and the rules governing its disposal,� says Lonergan, “careful consideration must be given to how we plan to proceed with septage and an in-depth study should be done so that we are not left unprepared.� On the issue of future developments to the rink, she favours putting down a cement pad so the township can hold more fundraising projects and expand the season of activities, with or without skates or broomball shoes. “We need a livable community where we can live work and play,� says Lonergan. “Given our rural roots, many of us have to go outside of the community for employment purposes, but we should be able to play in our community.� All the more reason to promote more recreation on home turf, too, says Lonergan, noting
She favours putting down a cement pad at the rink so the township can hold more fundraising projects and expand the season of activities. that studies show 70 per cent of Ontarians are overweight. Whatever the issues, she says: “I have the time and dedication and drive to represent (the residents).� Meanwhile, she says Horton residents shouldn’t have to be on the council agenda to ask questions before council. Lonergan says a specific block of time should be set aside at each council meeting for questions, without residents having to flag the nature of the questions beforehand.

Among 11 candidates Continued from front He says it was a “lovely job” working as a quality control rep for Pratt & Whitney. “I made good money and I was my own boss and I gained a lot of respect because you were responsible for millions of dollars of aircraft parts.” Before and after that job, he worked at Haley Industries as a foreman in various departments. He might still be at Pratt & Whitney, but he turned down a transfer to California. Later came 15 years in the restaurant business running Sunshine Cafe and Gas Bar in Horton Township, before closing the business in 2008 for health reasons. Now that he’s retired and feeling better, he says he wants to use some of his acquired skills for Horton council’s benefit. “My biggest forte is listening when people speak,” says Zavitske, who loves where he lives and wants to keep it that way. “I was something I always contemplated, but I just never had the time, with the business I had,” adds Zavitske of the decision to run for office again. “You have to have ample time to be able to satisfy the people’s needs.” With a growing learning curve, he says he would bring an outgoing, energetic, enthusiastic way, and a desire “to shine a new light on council.” It will probably be a very new council, with a maximum of two returnees. Councillors Dave Bennett and Don Eady, are in the mayor’s race, while Coun. Bob Kingsbury is among 11 vying for four positions of councillor. “I’m still a people person because I’ve dealt with so many people (in my work), but I still need to know more about their needs,” admits Zavitske. “Horton is beautiful, with great potential for growth, which is evident with all the new developments in progress,” he says, alluding to housing developments near Chenaux and on Eady Road. He says he also has a special interest in youth, seniors and the handicapped. Blame that on personal connections, like a double-amputee father, an aunt with down syndrome and a childhood friend with multiple sclerosis. With a brand new community facility still in the growing stages, he says : “It would be great if we could combine modern ideas with old-fashioned ideas.” That’s a reference, he says, to the need for ideas to create events for all generations. For example, why not run an indoor bowling league that incorporates intertownship play? An avid bowler himself, he also enjoys water skiing, golf and fishing. Other community needs, he says, include more communitystyle policing and doctor recruitment.

Renfrew man injured in Highway 17 collision last Friday JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com
A Renfrew man was seriously injured last Friday afternoon at the intersection of Highway 17 and Calabogie Road. Todd Crapper, 37, was taken to hospital in Ottawa in serious condition after his car was hit by a vehicle turning left onto McLean Drive. Renfrew Ontario Provincial Police report a 2003 Ford Crown Victoria driven eastbound by a 72-year-old Clarendon, Quebec woman turned left in front of Crapper’s westbound 1997 Plymouth Breeze at 4:07 p.m.
One of the vehicles caught fire and had frew County to support the township in to be extinguished, along with the grass lobbying the Ontario Ministry of Transfire it caused, by the McNab-Braeside fire department. Busy Highway 17 was closed until about 11 p.m., delaying many motorists either heading home or to the cottage for the weekend. Crapper was taken to Arnprior Hospital, and then transferred to Ottawa. The other driver was charged with making an unsafe left turn. OPP Constable Marc Bennett investigated. Earlier in the week, McNab-Braeside Deputy Mayor Elmer Raycroft asked Ren-
portation for safety improvements at the intersection.

“Somebody is going to get killed,â€? McNab-Braeside Deputy Mayor Elmer Raycroft warned the Renfrew County operations committee Sept. 13. Raycroft asked committee members for support in lobbying the province for a traffic light or some other safety device at the intersection of Highway 17 at Calabogie Road and McLean Drive. Four days later, a Renfrew man was seriously injured in a two-vehicle crash at the intersection. “We’ll work with you (McNab-Braeside council) on that,â€? said committee chairman Zig Mintha. “I can’t see why not. We have contacts with the Ministry of Transportation ‌ it’s certainly a safety issue.â€?
The committee was holding the last of its four meetings scheduled this year for outlying municipalities at the McNabBraeside township office. Raycroft said he’s concerned increased highway traffic volume, especially on Friday and Sunday afternoons, is making it difficult for people lining up to enter the highway on both sides of the intersection. “On long weekends, it’s bumper to bumper from Arnprior to there (intersection) and beyond,� he said. He noted he has also heard concerns about the Highway 17-Anderson Road intersection, “but this one is busier.� Raycroft said farmers, truckers and others are taking up to 14 minutes to cross the highway at peak times.

McNab-Braeside asks county’s operations committee for support Continued from Page 11 When traffic is heavy, there is a vision problem for vehicles entering the intersection, he added. Increased traffic going to Calabogie for motorsport track and other events is also adding to the delays, he said. Committee member and Greater Madawaska Reeve Peter Emon expressed his support, noting some of his township’s residents have also complained how difficult it is to access the highway sometimes.
Renfrew Ontario Provincial Police community services officer Janice Sawbridge said that while last Friday’s crash didn’t involve a motorist trying to cross the highway, the intersection does get very busy at times. She urged motorists to resist the temptation to make a risky crossing, even if they have been waiting for a long time. It’s easy to misjudge the high speed of vehicles approaching on the highway, she said. “It (crossing when un-
safe) could cost you your life.” Raycroft asked the county to join the township in asking the MTO to look at possible changes at the intersection. County public works director Dave Darch explained the county worked with the MTO to bring lights to Highway 17 this year in the Petawawa area after a request by CFB Petawawa and the town. “We can talk to the ministry about the feasibility of one here,” he said.
Renfrew County works and engineering director Dave Darch (left) and chair Zig Mintha are participants in the county’s recent operations committee meeting.

St. Joseph’s Catholic High School’s jazz band, under the direction of teacher Don MacLeod, is starting up again for the 20102011 school year. The jazz band has existed for many years and has expanded their repertoire significantly over the years. This year, the band will consist of approximately 20 musicians, which is a mixture of new and old membership. The instrumentation will consist of a rhythm section, made up of drums, guitar, bass and piano. The horn section will consist of saxophones, trumpets, trombones with some clarinets and flutes adding to the overall sound. The jazz band will be performing many times throughout the school year at various school events. They will also be going on the road to perform for many of the elementary schools within the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board. The big performance for the band comes at the end of the school year when they travel to Toronto to take part in the Paramount Canada’s Wonderland Music Festival. Once again this year, the band will be taking part in A Trail of Two Citrus, which will entail the band selling fresh seedless oranges and grapefruit from Florida.

The RVH health care team is employing new CT technology to help detect colorectal cancer in its earliest stages. A new non-invasive procedure at RVH, CT colonography, uses the CT scanning equipment to diagnose polyps or cancerous lesions. “This is an incredible imaging technology for the colon,” comments Phil Crozier, head of the diagnostic imaging department. The procedure provides very detailed three-dimensional colour views of the patient’s large intestine.
“This new approach complements all of the existing diagnostic techniques that we will continue to use,” says Crozier, pointing to RVH’s record of quality diagnostic service for patients needing colonoscopies or other procedures. “Each test has its own purpose and strength,” he adds. “This is an important additional tool for us to use.” The RVH team, including family physicians and surgical specialists, will determine the most appropriate approach for each patient’s situation. The CT scan provides the advantage of a

Tail-wagging end to tale Continued from Page 6 I gently patted his back and proceeded carefully, telling him he was a good boy and lifting him lightly and slowly coaxing him into the cage. He had easily surrendered, pooped I guess! Or maybe he figured we were his friends after all we’d been through. We briefly asked: Now what? Who’s going to take him? The father of the little girl said it should be between me and this other girl, who had been trying to catch him for quite some time. Her name was Teri Mooney. Teri and I exchanged numbers and she called me shortly afterwards to say the dog was okay. I had forgotten by this time that it was my birthday! I chatted with Teri a while and she told me she had a dog that died at the age of 18! She went on to tell me who gave her the dog, and asked if I knew of him, his name ... David Hisko, my brother who

EDITORIAL passed away a year ago. I told her I was his sister. Also, earlier that day my other brothers arrived with a beautiful picture for my birthday,. The caption read: The Shepherd’s Pet. It was a picture of a Collie laying beside a lamb. I wanted to thank all involved on behalf of the doggie and for being present on my birthday ... a special day! I don’t believe it was something we could have done without each other, the circle of friends connected by heart to this dog. The next day, the owner was found and picked up his dog. Needless to say, the doggie was excited to see him! The dog belonged to Tom Anderson, who’s running for council. Well, if he runs anything like his dog, I see no reason why he can’t win!

Farm tragedies A fine day at the county plowing match must capture our awareness PETER CLARK
peter.clark@metroland.com
It proved to be a good day for the 2010 Renfrew County Plowing Match. This year’s event was held close to home, in the Ottawa Valley, at the farm of Stewart and Vera McBride just outside Cobden last Saturday. Stewart McBride said it was a good day. “There was a wind but the rain held off. That was the main thing.” An estimated crowd of more than 800 people attended. “It was pretty well attended. There was something for everybody,” McBride added. “I’ve been at plowing matches before, but it’s the first time I was involved. It was a learning experience. We got a lot of positive feedback from it.” The event featured fun for the whole family, including track and horse plowing, the queen of the furrow contest, machinery exhibits, antique equipment and cars, craft tent, commercial exhibits, old-time thrashing and musical entertainment. A kids zone featured a petting zoo, pony rides by Pinto Valley, ceramics with objects to paint, a grain box from Farm Comes to Town, and much more for the youngsters.
Sometimes farm tragedies educate others. The only RURAL ROUTES positive result of such sad circumstances is the future saving of lives – providing we learn from them. In June, a 45-year-old farm worker was killed on a 400-cow dairy farm while moving large square bales of hay on a skid steer loader. Two bales fell on top of him. Large bales weigh 800 to 1,200 pounds. The man was obviously transporting three bales stacked on top of each other. Skid steer loaders aren’t designed to carry three bales. In June, the 82-year-old owner of a farm drainage business in Leeds County died after he fell into a ditch and the earth fell in on top of him. He was partially buried and had serious leg injuries. There have been numerous news items about farm workers getting sucked down and covered in grain when working in grain bins. I couldn’t understand why anyone would be in a farm grain bin when it was being unloaded. I was told corn went in last fall on the damp side and corn was sticking to the sides this spring. Men went into the bin and knocked it off the sides. As a result of deaths and the rescues, there has been something good come out of all of this. Farmers will continue to go in on top of the grain in their grain bins. That won’t change. Tragedies will continue. That’s why some eastern Ontario elevators have donated grain elevator extrication tools to their local fire departments. Vanden Bosch Elevators of Chesterville, Parish and Heimbecker Elevators of Winchester and Trenton, and the Kawartha Lakes 4-H are the ones I know of In the estate of who have made a extrication tool donation.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT: The tennis club is holding a second tournament, making a vigorous wind up to a successful season. The events comprise handicap singles for both ladies and men; mixed doubles, men’s doubles and open singles, the latter played on the English plan of each contestant meeting all others. Nearly all the active playing members of the club are participating in these events and some very keenly fought games have been held during the past week. The committee is in hopes of reaching the finals in the handicap events on Saturday, and in the others next week, provided the players assist them in turning out promptly for their matches. The winners will be announced in our next issue. SEPTEMBER 26, 1935 RENFREW ATHLETES WIN STRATHCONA TROPHY: At the eighth annual Eastern Ontario Secondary School Association track and field meeting in Cornwall on Saturday, Renfrew Collegiate Institute athletes won third place, also the Strathcona Trophy for Lanark and Renfrew Counties. Competing were 224 athletes representing 33 schools in Eastern Ontario. Weather was fine and the track and field were in good condition. For the high aggregate Glebe of Ottawa registered 136 points, Lisgar 58, Renfrew 38, Cornwall 37. Both male students and “fair co-eds” competed. John Kuash of Renfrew stood high in the footrace, Winnie Young was again best in the high jump, while F. and H. McGregor and E. Watt of Renfrew distinguished themselves in the girls class. J. Wark of Renfrew also proved fleet of foot. NEW BRIDGE COMING ON BONNECHERE RIVER: Ontario

SEPTEMBER 16 1970 POST OFFICE TO REMOVE LETTER BOXES: Many local residents may find that they have to walk a little further to mail their letters after October 1, especially those who have been used to using street letter boxes. The Mercury-Advance was advised by the Renfrew Post Office this week effective October 1, 1970 street letter boxes at the following locations will be removed, corner of Arnprior and Carswell, Baldwin and Cameron, Railway and Xavier, Harry and Duff and Jordan and New streets. The reason given for removal was the non usage by the public. It was also announced that the box at Prince and Queen streets will be moved to Prince and Bonnechere and the box at Hall and Barr to Hall and Dominion streets. ANOTHER ONE UNDER THE BELT: Those who say the Renfrew Fair needs a change (and we have suggested it) won’t be able to understand why the three day show keeps packing in the people year after year. But it does. The 1970 Fair was rated a good one. The midway was the best in the Fair’s history according to most comments we heard. The trend is to night visits. The grounds during some days were empty of people but more people are spending an evening at the Fair. This probably indicates a decline in farm population. Although the agricultural shows aren’t affected. As they count the money and pay the bills the directors can take satisfaction in feeling they still know how to run a popular Fair.

Wolves win a pair of league’s Fall Classic PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com
The first ever Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League Fall Classic proved to be a good experience for the Renfrew Timberwolves. The Wolves posted a pair of victories against Rideau-St. Lawrence Conference opponents – 6-2 over the Morrisburg Lions Saturday afternoon, and 5-4 triumph over the Akwesasne Wolves Sunday – at the Bell Sensplex in Kanata. The wins give the Wolves a 2-and-1 record three games into the 2010-11 season. Jordan Welk converted a Patrice Wren feed off a shorthanded two-on-one break with .9 seconds showing on the clock to get the Wolves out of the opening stanza with a 1-0 lead. They never looked back en route to the 6-2 victory over Morrisburg. Three goals in a 1:18 span from the sticks of Robbie Lepine, Steven Powell and Ryan Cuthill, including two on the powerplay, early in the middle frame shot the Wolves in front 4-0. Cuthill added a second goal in the final period while Brady Clouthier landed the sixth Renfrew tally. Goaltender Richard Barr had a shutout going until Morrisburg made a breakthrough less
than eight minutes from the end. The Wolves built up a 5-2 lead en route to winning the Battle of the Wolves Sunday. Lepine, Michael Deslaurier, Derrin Lahoux, Clouthier and Powell were Wolves marksmen. Barr backstopped his second win of the weekend. WOLVES HOWLINGS Goaltender Mike Rosebrook was on the shelf over the weekend with an ankle sprain. Barr and Patrice Wren were picked Wolves game stars. Cal Smith would have been the event’s best dressed coach if such an award existed. Valley teams fared well at the showcase. The Wolves, Arnprior Packers and Pontiac Juniors went 2-and0, while the Perth Blue Wings had a win and a tie. The Almonte Thunder split its two games and the Stittsville Royals lost both, although they earned a point as one of their defeats came in overtime. The Wolves return to Valley Division play at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre Friday night. The Arnprior Packers supply the opposition at 8 p.m. On Sunday, the Wolves make the ever-popular trip to Buckingham to take on the Gatineau Mustangs at 2 p.m.
Zig Zag and defending league champion Scheel Communications will need a fifth game to decide their M a - Te - Way Men’s Slo Pitch League semifinal series. A doubleheader split Sept. 14 forced the best-of-five series to the limit. Mark Wright drove in four runs with three hits, and Chad Mullen and Jamie Cobus added four hits each in an 18-16 Scheel victory. Mark Simons lofted a grand slam home run in the setback for Zig Zag. Zig Zag staved off elimination with a 28-11 triumph in the nightcap. Jon Vanderploeg and Rene Freamo had five hits, and Simons collected four. Wright had four more hits for Scheel Communications. The fifthanddeciding game was scheduled for Tuesday night. Regularseason league leading ProTyre leads Ottawa Valley Glass 2-0 in the other semifinal series.

COLUMN
Is 0-and-2 time to panic? I’m sure fans of the Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings are panicking. Both teams are among the favourites to challenge for Super Bowl XLV. Both teams are also 0-and-2. In the case of the Cowboys, they have the added pressure of hosting this year’s championship game come February. They are expected by many to become the first team in National Football League history to not only play in the Super Bowl game at home, but also win it. As for the Vikings, I can’t see Brett Favre having the same kind of season he enjoyed last year with Minnesota. I actually picked Minnesota to miss the playoffs when the season began. NFL teams that start out 0-and-2 since the playoffs expanded to 12 teams in 1990 have missed the playoffs 87 per cent of the time (22 of 169), so the odds are already heavily stacked against both Minnesota and Dallas. The Cowboys, however, are one of only three teams to rebound from an 0-and-2 start to win a Super Bowl. But they did so after a major addition. It was in the early ’90s when Emmitt Smith returned from a contract hold out. As for this year’s game, I look ahead to a rematch of last season’s Indianapolis – New Orleans match-up. This time, the Colts will secure the victory.
PETER CLARK PETER’S PUTTERINGS Ray’s Flowers Hockey Draft: It is, indeed, that time of the year once again. The 2010-11 National Hockey League regular season is just a few days down the road. With that comes the annual Ray’s Flowers hockey draft. The draft sheets are now available at Ray’s. The cost to fill out a team is $20. You still have a couple of weeks before the 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 7 deadline. There are five games scheduled that night, including Montreal at Toronto. The Senators and Leafs meet two nights later on the opening Saturday night of the season. * * * The Vancouver Canucks’ first National Hockey League season was 1970-71. Their captain was Orland Kurtenbach. And for this week: While we are on the subject, the Buffalo Sabres entered the league at the same time as the Canucks. Name the Sabres’ first captain?

The 2009 Renfrew Senior Tennis Open at the Ma-Te-Way Park Tennis Courts had the best turnout ever, with perfect weather.

LAST SERVE 1:15 A.M. Ben Treidlinger unleashes a serve in Friday night’s mixed doubles action while partner Martha Scott looks on.

While most people forget about curling for the summer, a much too small group of very dedicated volunteers works long and hard to make sure that the upcoming season is very enjoyable, not only for the club members but also the community at large. This group began their usual summer tasks but were soon faced with a much more difficult time as Murphy’s Law struck with maximum impact. After the furnace was found to be irreparable, they were greeted with resignation of our iceman Paul Villard who had decided to see if the ice was really greener in Southwest Ontario. As David Anderson led the replacement of the furnace, Gert Brydges, with Paul’s help, led the frustrating hunt for that rare species known as the Iceman. But Murphy was not finished yet. As David was leading the search for a new cleaner for the club, it was decided that the ceiling over the ice could not remain for another year and David went into overdrive. Based on David’s report, the ceiling was completed on Sept. 13, 2010 by Lloyd Eady Construction and they went out of their way. The job was completed in five days. The ceiling material was cut into tiles by our answer to Mike Holmes, Charlie Ricard, and his 13 angels. The dust has barely settled. The ice technician contract position has been filled. We are pleased to have Rick Allen join our rink. Rick hails from Shawville and will be taking care of the Shawville rink and our rink and will require our support throughout the season. The janitorial contract position has been filled. We are pleased to have Phil Lauzon join our Rink. Phil is in the cleaning business and operates his own service called Phil’s Cleaning Service. Phil is a Renfrew man and will be taking care of our Rink personally and he will also need our support as he learns the ins and outs of our building. Ice availability was set for early October and Rick is working to meet that date. I am still working on some items from the start-up check list while Dwight Hayward leads his volunteers to assist Rick in the ice installation, painting and taping. The overall ice installation process appears to be on track for the early opening. One of the best ways that we can show our appreciation for the enormous service performed by these incredible people is to make sure we register this Friday night, Sept. 24 from 7-9. For those people trying to decide whether to try curling, please be assured you will be well served.
men’s doubles, including entries from Perth, Ottawa, Pembroke, Petawawa and Massena. The championship match featured a repeat of 2009 with James and Bob Ferguson prevailing over Robert Pelletier and Dan Caverley. The B doubles round was won by Bob Brydges and Tim Colbert over Eldon Ferguson and Garry Irving. Five teams contested the ladies doubles event with Sheila Windle and Nancy Saumure prevailing over Jane Donnelly and Martha Scott for the A title. Julia Shannon and Nicole Blimkie defeated Debbie Schauer and Julie Davies in the B final.

The Renfrew Bantam Timberwolves and Arnprior Packers skated to a freewheeling 6-6 deadlock in a pre-season game that saw both teams rifle 32 shots on goal. John Pettigrew scored three Renfrew goals and Drew Edwards a pair. Kevin Crozier added a single. Auston Pierce earned three assists. Wolves netminder Chloe Eady made 26 saves. The Bantam Wolves also edged Arnprior in a rematch 4-3 and tied the West Carleton Warriors 3-3. Austin Scheuneman had three goals, and Adam Martin, John Pettigrew, Drew Edwards and Kevin Crozier singles.
Eady backstopped both games. Her performance included a 33save effort versus West Carleton. The Peewee Timberwolves nipped Arnprior 3-2. Alex Paquette, Ben Scheuneman and Nicholas Fleguel were Renfrew goalscorers. Carter Blimkie, Colin Schwartz and Riley Rathwell saw time in the Renfrew goalcrease. The Atom Wolves tripled Arnprior 9-3 behind three Brendan Hill markers and a pair from Carter Bleeks. Jayce Greer, Nicholas Crozier, Jared Burnette and Braedon Reinert landed singles.

Terry Fox would be proud PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com
Organizers and sisters Sheena Pilgrim and Tanya Campbell had hoped for the people of Renfrew to come up big for the 30th Terry Fox Run Sunday from MaTe-Way Park. Even they had no idea just how well the community would come through. First of all, they were concerned about the number of teams. “We wanted 30 teams for 30 years. We actually got 34,” Campbell said. “And we raised $26,898. Unbelievable! And that doesn’t count Scotiabank and the schools,” she added. “I’m confident we’ll have over $30,000 when we are done. I’m thrilled.” That’s more than double last year’s total, although the 2009 Terry Fox event fell on the Sunday of the Renfrew Fair. Pilgrim noted that Terry Fox started out by naming his run simply the Marathon of Hope. In 30 years, it has become much more than that. “He wanted every Canadian to contribute one dollar,” Pilgrim added. “The road was a lonely one, but it is lonely no more, thanks to the many devoted volunteers.” John Leslie of Arnprior was a guest of the organizers and spoke to
the participants before Sunday’s run began. “I’m living proof you can make a difference,” he said. Leslie was diagnosed with cancer in 2003 at the age of 10. “I’m doing extremely well. I passed the fiveyear mark two years ago. I’ve gotten great support from family and friends and the community.” Leslie also appeared near the end of the Terry Fox movie, playing the role of a young cancer patient halfway through Fox’s Marathon of Hope. Many people participate in the Terry Fox Run in honour of someone fighting cancer, or in memory of a loved one. Pilgrim and Campbell’s mother, former Renfrew town councillor Lois LeClaire, was an organizer of the local run for years. Sunday marked the Town of Renfrew’s 29th Terry Fox Run. Patrick Cayen of Ottawa Valley Physiotherapy conducted a stretching session before the run began, and contributed two bucks for each person who participated in the stretching. Local marathoner Colleen Berry ran the 10-kilometre course three times for each of the 30 years the Terry Fox Run has existed. There was also a 5-km course. Cancer survivor Paige Dillabough and

Albino American goldfinch visits a feeder JIM FERGUSON SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE An albino American Goldfinch was seen in the area this week, a very rare bird. The fact that there are no tell-tale colour patterns in the plumage of albino birds makes it difficult to identify the species. Because this bird was seen feeding at a sunflower feeder it would indicate an American Goldfinch. Most finches will feed on Niger year round. It is the first albino of this species we have heard about. We also feel that the bird exhibits “total albinism”, which is the total absence of pigments from the plumage, skin and irises. Incomplete albinism is when the pigments are completely absent from the plumage, or irises, or skin but not from all three. Partial albinism, the most common, is when the pigments are reduced, or one or more is absent from parts of all three areas. Albino birds are often shunned by the other birds and unless they are overly aggressive are often pushed away from the feeders. The white plumage does not have the colour pigment to strengthen the feathers and therefore they are usually brittle and easily broken. The pink skin and eyes are very sensitive to sunlight and the birds suffer from sunburn and varying de-
grees of blindness. Because of these characteristics the birds have difficulty surviving the winter. If you see this bird please let us know.
brood between the pair and tend to the young separately. The birds drive their bill into the soft earth in search of the larvae of craneflies and other insects. Above ground, they fed
on earthworms, crayfish, snails, frogs and seeds. Both male and female do their aerial display in the spring. In flight the air vibrating through the two outer tail feathers makes
BLUEBIRDS RETURN Frank and Evelyn Collins saw the return of the Eastern Bluebirds that nested in one of the Collins’ bird boxes this past summer. The adults brought their young with them and were behaving as if they were showing them where they were born. The adults and young went in and out of the boxes and took bits of nesting material into the box. There may be more truth to this than was formally thought. New studies indicate that the birds do return to their home turf before they migrate. It is known that the adult birds are faithful to the territory but not to each other. They may spend the winter in different locations in the south but always return to their place of birth to nest. If you see this behaviour occurring at your bird boxes please let us know.

ADMASTON-BROMLEY
Admaston-Bromley councillor withdraws support for Ottawa River heritage designation SHERRY HAAIMA shaaima@msn.com
A resolution that came back to Admaston-Bromley council Sept. 16 for a simple correction made a bit of a splash. On Sept. 2, council passed a resolution in support of the designation of the Ottawa as a Heritage River. The resolution followed a presentation from the Ottawa River heritage designation committee. The wording of the resolution, which was to be forwarded to Prime Minister Stephen Harper and copied to the federal minister of the environment, needed to be tweaked. But Coun. Jack Kelly, armed with the Ontario Heritage Strategy for the Ottawa
River, which he said he found online, used the opportunity to announce he’d like more answers before lending his support. Among Kelly’s concerns is the impact the designation will have on private landowners. Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe said the federal designation by Parks Canada would not affect provincial restrictions already in place. She said that while she respected Kelly’s comments, there are many rivers with heritage designations, including the Rideau, benefitting from the designation. She wondered about the source of Kelly’s concerns, especially in light of the positive experiences of other communities with heritage rivers. “There’s a whole lot of agenda somewhere and at the end of
the day, what are we doing to our river?” Kelly put forward a motion suggesting council not support the designation until more questions can be asked. No one came forward to second the motion. Council ultimately decided to lend support and send the letter. Kelly was the sole opposing vote. Ted Barron, Broker of Record 646-2374 email: barrote@nrtco.net
The mayor was pleased with the ultimate result. “I’m extremely proud to be able to have our name put to this letter to the prime minister,” said Briscoe, who said there will be long-term benefits to the township and its neighbours.

Time once again to get out the bird feeders Continued from Page 25 If you wish to have birds coming to your yard this winter it is time to put your feeders out. The birds will remember where the food is and should they need it on a cold wet day, they will know exactly where to find it. When the natural food is covered with
snow the birds will visit regularly. Although food from our feeders makes up only about 25 per cent of a bird’s daily intake it does supplement their diet when winter storms make food gathering difficult for them. Sunflower, black oil or stripped, is the most nourishing food for birds followed by Niger seed, millet, red and white, and
cracked corn. It is not advisable to feed corn if there is a possibility that it will attract pigeons. They can disrupt a feeder program very quickly and non-feeding neighbours can become irritated as well. Once you start a program it must be carried on for the winter. It is not fair or healthy for birds to de-
pend on a food source and then have it stopped when they need it most. If you are going to be away, ask a neighbour to carry on for you. Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, R R 5, Renfrew, Ontario K7V 3Z8 phone 613-432-2738 or email jamesh@nrtco.net.

Sunshine Coach: A quarter century of service NORM DAGG Administrator Sunshine Coach Service
Sunshine Coach has been serving the transportation needs of people in Renfrew and area who have physical disabilities that make boarding conventional modes of public transportation difficult, since 1985. That is 25 years of growth and success in meeting the needs of our fellow citizens who consequently have enjoyed the freedom to participate in social activities that, although taken for granted by most of us, would have been frustratingly out of reach otherwise. The annual Reach For The Rainbow Telethon will be taking to the air on Cogeco Channel 22 on Sunday, Oct. 24 between the hours of 2 and 8 p.m. with simulcast over myFM 96.1 from 4 to 6 p.m. Once again, a large army of volunteers will work together to produce this major fundraising event, the entire proceeds of which will go directly to help defray
the operating expenses of the Sunshine Coach Service. The telethon will originate from Renfrew Collegiate Institute and will feature an array of talented local entertainers throughout the six-hour telecast. The public is invited to drop in that day to watch the live entertainment and make a pledge in person. Pledges may also be made on the day of the telethon by calling 613-432-7299, or by visiting the Sunshine Coach offices at 44 Railway Ave. weekdays during business hours of 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. anytime prior to the telethon. Alternatively, contributors who prefer to make a donation online may do so by visiting www.sunshinecoach.ca and clicking on the Donate Now button to complete their secure donation transaction using the credit card of their choice. Public support is of critical importance in ensuring that the Sunshine Coach Service will be available to those who need it for at least the next quarter century.
Please find me a home Each week we feature animals from the Arnprior and District Humane Society that are up for adoption .
#3749 Theo Theo will make someone a wonderful companion. The four-month-old neutered male was found with his littermates living under a porch. He is an affectionate, active, busy little kitten who loves to play, jump and climb. Theo is used to being around older cats and gets along very well with them. He is social and outgoing and likes to be held and handled. He is completely litter-trained.
#3816 Colby Are you a senior looking for a pet for company? Colby is a ďŹ ve-year-old neutered male who has been at the shelter since the end of August when he was found as a stray in Arnprior. He is a quiet cat who keeps to himself and likes to nap in the sunshine. Colby is affectionate and easy going and he gets along with other cats, but prefers his own space. He will require regular grooming to prevent matting. Supplies the shelter needs: Whiskas Meaty Selections dry cat food (desperately) and liquid laundry soap.

COMMUNITY
The Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation, together with Cougars Conquering Cancer, is pleased to announce a $25,534.34 donation to the Deep River and District Hospital to help fund additional equipment for their Digital Mammography Program. The fundraiser is the result of a unique program initiated by the Cancer Foundation. Under the program, it was agreed that 75 per cent of the funds raised by Cougars Conquering Cancer through their participation in the annual Shoppers Drug Mart Weekend to End Women’s Cancers would go directly to one of Ottawa Valley’s regional hospitals and the remaining 25 per cent would remain in Ottawa. The $25,534.34 contribution equals the 75 per cent raised. This new initiative supports the Cancer Foundation’s strategic priority to reduce wait times and provide patients who live outside of the Ottawa area with the best care and treatment available as close to home as possible. “Cougars Conquering Cancer is one of the top fundraising teams who participate in the Weekend,” said Linda Eagen, President and CEO of the Can-
cer Foundation. “Thanks to their incredible fundraising efforts and participation in our new program, we are pleased to provide the Deep River and District Hospital with a donation to help further the quality of care they are able to provide patients in their community,” Eagen added. Cougars Conquering Cancer was given the option of directing the funds to one of 13 smaller hospitals in Eastern Ontario, all of which are partners of the Cancer Foundation. Cougars Conquering Cancer has also committed to donate the same portion of funds raised at next year’s event to Renfrew Victoria Hospital in 2011. “We were thrilled to be a part of the Cancer Foundation’s new program and we extend a heartfelt thanks to all of our supporters who helped make today’s announcement possible,” remarked Cougars Conquering Cancer team captain Kelly Perry. “Being able to direct a portion of our fundraising to a smaller community hospital, a hospital that serves many of our friends and family, is an honour and we are excited to start fundraising for next year’s event.”
On hand for the Cougars Conquering Cancer $25,534.34 cheque presentation to Deep River and District Hospital, from left are Cougars co-captain Susan Chalmers, team member Leslie Williams, ORCF Survivorship Program Director Carl Courneya, Cougars team member Chantelle Cartman, Cougars captain Kelly Perry, Deep River and District Hospital CEO Larry Schruder, Deep River and District Hospital chief nursing officer Lianne Wheeler, and Cougars team member Barbara Palmer.

The moment that you died, My heart split in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you. We often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon our face. Remembering you is easy, we do it every day, But missing you is a heartache That never goes away. We hold you tightly with our hearts, And there you will remain. Life has gone on without you, But it will never be the same. For those who still have a husband, dad, mom or wife, Treat them with tender care, You never know the emptiness, As when you turn and he’s not there! Lovingly remembered Wife Marie and children, Valerie & Robert, Garneth & Jean, Conray, Charlene & Terry, Morgan & Jackie, Brendalie & Rolly, Jason & Tina, Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren

Forever in our Hearts We love and miss you Nancy, Chris and Scott

Muriel Agnes May Smith, R.N. was born on June 5, 1923 in Quyon, Quebec, the only daughter of the late Lew B. and Emma Smith (née McCagherty) and a direct descendant of the first Reeve of Renfrew, John ‘Tanner’ Smith.

She lived her life with passion and showed us all how to see only the good in people. Ever the eternal optimist, her glass was always half full and she faced each of her many life challenges with grace, dignity, and wit.

Ground-breaking ceremony for manor’s new auditorium Continued from front Construction is scheduled to start Oct. 4, so a spirited reminder of that was the spade-in-the-ground ceremony with two of the manor’s longest-residing residents, Margaret Briscoe, who moved into the former manor building in 1961, and Clarence Eady. They squinted into the sun, along with Bonnechere Manor Foundation members who had donned white construction helmets, while gathering around the ceremonial shovel in the company of invited officials. Earlier in the half-hour ceremony, resident Peter English spoke from his wheelchair about the importance of the day. “This is such an awesome day. We certainly appreciate the help. This is not only for me, but for everyone. This will enhance our lives. It’s going to be so available to the residents and we’re just

“This (auditorium) is not only for me, but for everyone. This will enhance our lives. “ Peter English, Bonnechere Manor resident delighted.” English’s comments were followed by thank-yous from County of Renfrew Warden Don Rathwell, Pembroke Coun. Bob Hacket (whose municipality contributed $190,204 to the project whose construction bill is about $1 million), Renfrew Mayor Sandi Heins, and Bonnechere Manor Foundation chairman Don Goulet. Heins called it a wonderful day when residents get to share a dream that is becoming reality. She also thanked foundation members for their continued passion and commitment. Goulet thanked foundation members and donors − there have been more than 1,100 − and said he hoped to see many of

them back in the spring for the auditorium’s dedication. Renfrew County CAO Jim Hutton called the building of the auditorium a part of a quality home for its residents. “It’s been a long effort, but it’s paying off and it will pay off handsomely, I am sure,” he said. Since the manor’s new building opened in 1995, there has been a movement, large or small, to bring an auditorium on to the site. In the older building, the regularlyused auditorium was at the heart of activities. In the current building, there is no one room to accommodate large gatherings. In fact, the commonly used mainfloor lobby, as Heins alluded to, requires
many people to peer around pillars to see each other. But that is all changing with the help of various fundraising contributors. The county is contributing $400,780 from its Investing in Ontario fund; the manor foundation has raised nearly $300,000 (with more to be raised); and more than 60 sponsors have raised more than $200,000. The contractor is M. Sullivan & Son, whose project manager is Chris McMahon. The company also made a philanthropic donation of $100,000. Jim Lynch, the county’s manager of real property assets, says efforts will be taken to minimize noise and dust emanating as the project continues through the winter. There will also be two windows left open so residents and visitors can watch the project’s progress. The target completion date is April 1, 2011.
‘Once it was closed, it would have never opened again’ Continued from front Daryl Blimkie, with his brother Dwayne’s widow, Dianna Blimke, has sold the business to the Traceys. Tom said he is delighted to be back after a 10year absence in the ice cream business his father had taught him. He said he and John will operate the Laurentian View Dairy and brother Mark and his mother Betty will continue to run Tracey’s Dairy in Renfrew. In Deep River, John will look after the facility and Tom will focus on marketing and sales. Daryl Blimke will carry on as a consultant for the business, he said. Tom, a strong advocate of rural development, said he was pleased the Traceys were able to buy the long-standing business (it’s been in Deep River since 1945) and keep 33 jobs in the Upper Ottawa Valley. There were others interested in the dairy, but they wanted to move it to larger centres, he said. “Once it was closed, it would have never opened again.”
Tom said the dairy is an institution in the Upper Valley, having served its communities, as well as CFB Petawawa and AECL, since the 1930s. He said the Traceys will maintain the “iconic dairy bar” on Highway 17 that often has long lineups in the summer, as well as the restaurant. They have plans to expand the business, introducing new product lines and other services. “We’ve bought a good business and only want to make it better,” he said. Tom has spent part of the summer re-learning the ice cream business. The similarity in the Tracey’s and Laurentian View recipes is striking, he said, noting the keys to making good ice cream are using fresh cream and natural ingredients. He said Laurentian View and Brum’s in Pembroke have always worked well with Tracey’s Dairy, providing cream for its ice cream. The Traceys intend to build on that solid relationship, making it even stronger, he said. The Traceys will celebrate the acquisition at an open house in Deep River Oct. 23 from 1 to 4 p.m.

Revamp for recycling depot SHERRY HAAIMA shaaima@msn.com
Recycling efforts in the AdmastonBromley township continue to strengthen with the recent news that a third Community Investment Fund grant has been received. The $13,400 will be used for upgrades to the Stone Road transfer station, including two new bins, a wider and longer ramp, and improved space and signage for safer and easier access to the recycling bins. Work on the project has already begun. The township’s three recycling ambassadors – Greg Turcotte (Osceola), Sam Buttle (Douglas) and Christy Hiderman (Stone Road) have been hired and are working Saturdays in September at each of the sites from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The ambassadors are also assisting residents to fill out ballots for the recycling contest. Residents receive one ballot for each full recycling bin they bring in. The draw will take place at the first council meeting in October. The ambassadors will be introduced at the next council meeting. OSCEOLA INFO SESSION The township will host a public information session on Sept. 27 at 7:30 p.m. at the Barr Line Community Centre regarding the Osceola landfill site expansion
project. In September 2009, the township initiated an Environmental Screening Process (ESP) at the site. Consultants Jp2g have been commissioned to assist in the ESP, which includes consultations with agencies, field studies and comments from the public. The session will provide background behind the project and allow for comments from the public and other interested parties. The event will include a slideshow and question-and-answer period. ADVANCE POLLS Admaston-Bromley will have its advance vote on Saturday, Oct. 16 between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. at two locations – the Barr Line Community Centre and the Stone Road township offices. JOINT COMPLIANCE AUDIT COMMITTEE Following little to no response in each of their respective townships for potential members of a compliance audit committee, Admaston-Bromley, Renfrew and Horton have joined forces to create the committee, which is required by the Municipal Elections Act. Dwight Hayward, Bill McAdam and John Doering have been appointed to the committee, which will investigate complaints from electors that a candidate has contravened the act relating to election campaign finances.
