Renfrew Industrial Commission, Home Hardware key players in doctor recruitment plan

As of mid-day Tuesday, 494 of just under 6,000 eligible Renfrew voters had voted, of which 311 (or 63 per cent) had cast their ballots online or by telephone.

Another 183 had voted by paper ballot.

“I’m quite pleased with the Internet-telephone numbers,” said town clerk Kim Bulmer.

It’s expected the ‘internet’ votes (collected by the Dartmouth company, Intelivote) will be available before 9 p.m. election day.

As of Friday morning, Renfrew voters in the October municipal election still have at least 20 more hours of on-site voting opportunities.

The six-month-old Renfrew and Area Health Services Village board of directors is celebrating the recruitment of its first family physician, and hoping for a second one soon.

With nearly 60 people at Monday morning’s news conference at the medical professional building, business development officer Norm Lemke unveiled the board’s financial incentive plan and first recruit, or what he first described as “positive and meaningful economic news.”

Dr. Jennifer Arcand of Prescott, Ont., will work out of Renfrew Victoria Hospital and as a family physician. She is doing a two-year residency out of the University of Ottawa and scheduled to start her medical practice in Renfrew by mid-2012.

The board is hoping for 14 recruits over the next six years, including four doctors by the end of this calendar year, and two more each of the following five years.

Helping pave Dr. Arcand’s road to Renfrew is the board’s $2.l million financial incentive program, a virtual carbon-copy of the County of Hastings’s suc-

cessful recruitment program, over the next six years.

Each doctor recruited by the health services village board will be paid $25,000 for each of six successive years. Helping to support these payouts are Renfrew Home Hardware Building Centre, with $10,000 for each recruit in the first year of payments, and the Renfrew Industrial Commission, which will pay 60 per cent, or $90,000 of each recruit’s $150,000.

That will leave $50,000 per recruit to be paid various ways.

This will include more planned contributions from the business community, money from a local fundraising campaign yet to be kicked off, and possibly money from the local taxpayer base.

Meanwhile, each of the four municipalities − Renfrew, Greater Madawaska, Horton and Admaston-Bromley − is already contributing $25,000 per year. Small portions of that money may be accessed to help pay for new recruits, say officials.

The health services board was established after Renfrew Victoria Hospital administration said it didn’t have the resources to continue to spearhead local doctor recruitment.

Arcand: newest doctor recruit by health services village board

Continued from front

The new health services board, whose mandates include physician recruitment, is stipulating that each recruited doctor commit a minimum of five years.

Arcand, 27, said she and her partner, Andrew Andress, would make the move to Renfrew “hopefully for the rest of our lives.”

After spending part of her hospital residency working with Dr. Steve Radke and other local physicians, she says she fell in love with the place and knew within a few weeks that Renfrew was where she wanted to put down medical roots.

Health services vice-chair Raye-Anne

Briscoe said it’s essential the Renfrew area retain and maintain jobs and to help ensure top-of-the-line municipal services.

“As individuals and a pro-active board, we are focused on building from where and what we are to a healthy and thriving tomorrow.”

OTHER RECRUITS While the sense of satisfaction was palpable at Monday’s news conference, more satisfaction may be just around the corner. Dave Lemkay, executive director of the Renfrew Industrial Commission, said he’s optimistic three more doctors will be

recruited by the end of 2010. “I think it’s very doable,” concurred Lemke.

“One (candidate) is further down the road than the others. From what we’ve experienced from the various meetings, the individual is from Greater Madawaska and would be an absolute fit.”

The word at the September 2010 job fairs for the University of Ottawa and Queen’s University also suggested many medical students are looking to establish roots in rural communities, said Lemke.

One business identified as playing a part was the Renfrew Masonic Lodge. After the news conference, Mason chaplin Gordon Cross indicated the lodge is contributing $1,000 for five straight years.

He knows that pales in comparison to what some companies may provide, but says: “I hope the program is so successful that we’re able to get the best physi-

cians available. And I truly hope we don’t get into the process of stealing from other towns. Every town is in the same situation. I hope we’re going to be able to share (the doctor candidates out there).”

In addressing other local businesses, Karen Maxwell of Renfrew Home Hardware Building Centre said: “We do need your financial support. We can take this first recruitment initiative and make it a catalyst for the growth of our local economy, and ultimately bring more customers to your door.”

If Home Hardware provides $140,000 over the next six years that’s a lot of money, says Maxwell. But money isn’t the only incentive for doctors considering Renrew as a home. She says a driving force behind the successful start to the recruitment program is physician Steve Radke, who was recruited to Renfrew a few years ago.

Renfrew council candidates have their say STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Few people were yawning at the Renfrew all-candidates meeting hosted by the Renfrew and District University Women’s Club.

Highlights of the two-hour event at the recreation centre included complaints from the crowd about candidates not answering the question; accusatory remarks by Toyota owner Dave La Rocque that he had been slandered; spirited presentations by some councillor-candidates; and mayoral candidate Bill Ringrose’s focus on offering a different leadership style than the one provided by incumbent Sandi Heins the last few years.

In a format that allowed for opening comments, answers to written questions from the floor, and little chance for rebuttal, a few candidates shone in the poorly-attended event that attracted maybe 150 people last Wednesday night (Oct. 13).

Jan Wilson was the moderator, as she was when the club hosted the 2006 all-candidates forum.

The only absent candidate was Kate Windle, who is running for reeve against incumbent Audrey Green. She told the Mercury she booked some family time off, out of town, after the host club couldn’t give her a confirmed date for the event.

Green spoke more about her role on town council and county council, made no reference to her opponent, and cited no particular campaign issues.

COUNCILLOR CANDIDATES The eight councillor-candidates spoke in alphabetical order, starting with incumbent Tom Anderson, who said he was proud and honoured to have served three terms. He also called council’s successes and

Participants in the all-candidates forum include, from left, Audrey Green, Callum Scott, Jim Miller and Bill Guyea.

For the mayor’s race, see Page 30 shortcomings the result of best efforts as a collective unit.

The next council, he said, will have to address infrastructure needs for years to come. The town, he stressed, also needs a vision, of what is needed and what can be realistically afforded.

Russian-born, rookie candidate Mila Barnamova talked about the things Renfrew has lost. She cited doctors, the childcare centre, the local beach, trees along the Millennium Trail and the north-end shopping mall.

“What kind of attitude is that?” she asked.

Incumbent Gail Cole said council needs to focus on economic development by aggressively pursuing new business and supporting existing business.

“It is important we all project a positive image for a community eager to do business,” she stressed.

All councillor-candidates, including Cole, supported the recreation master plan while noting the need for government funds to make the plan’s priorities of a swimming pool and a second ice pad a reality.

Rookie candidate Andrew Evans said many of the 42 recommendations in the master plan are unachievable under the town’s current tax base, so the focus has to be on obtaining government funding.

“I’m here to represent you guys,” he said.

Incumbent Bill Guyea talked about his Renfrew roots, including family connections, 20 years as a volunteer firefighter, and a working knowledge of municipal government after 12 years on council.

“Honesty is my highest trait,” said Guyea, who offered dependability, trustworthiness and availability.

Doug Janney brought a different approach to the microphone. He spoke of his dreams, including one in which he was well into the future and driving through Renfrew to see several large retail stores closed and a population that had dwindled to 1,200.

“Many towns like ours have fragile economies,” said Janney, who wondered where Renfrew’s “bold action plan” was for economic development. “Are we going to continue business as

usual? I hope not,” he said to applause from the crowd.

He would also like to help develop better communication between the town and its residents, to let them know what staff and council is doing.

Initiatives must be followed up, said Janney. “We’re like a tube of toothpaste. The pressure must be on to produce.”

Former council member Clint McWhirter, who is back seeking a second term on council, said his experience on both the pool and second ice pad committees will be helpful in ongoing work to realize both facilities.

But other issues also need attention, he said, like traffic on O’Brien Road, park upgrades and railway crossings. “We need a council that is ready to listen and care about the needs of the town,” he said, including youth.

Rookie candidate Jim Miller generated one of the more positive reactions from the crowd with his opening remarks. As one who trouble-shoots for businesses, Miller said he had just been in Port Hope working to reorganize a nuclear fuel company.

“That’s what we need here, reorganization,” said Miller. He also alluded to his past Nepean Chamber of Commerce experience, and how that body was very proactive in motivating businesses to open shop.

The same is needed in Renfrew for business, including the recruitment of sorely-needed family physicians, said Miller. “We need a vision, not just ideas.”

“If you have a product and you can’t sell that product, you have a couple of choices: raise the price or increase the customer base.” He went on to say increasing customers is preferred.

TRUSTEES The forum also featured Bruce

McIntyre of Renfrew and incumbent Anne Smith of Cobden who are running for the Catholic board trustee in Horton-Whitewater-Renfrew.

The major point of opposition was the staggered-bells busing system, which began last school year and was expanded to include Arnprior and Renfrew schools this year.

McIntyre called the consultation process a farce where the public’s views were brushed aside.

Contrary to McIntyre’s observation, Smith said staggered bells was not pre-approved but that an informed decision was made after extensive consultation.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Written questions for the candidates included reasons for the alleged “gag order” on Renfrew day care staff members before the facility was closed down last summer; should the recreation centre be maintained or closed down because of high operating costs; and candidates’ views on building a pool.

Everyone but McWhirter supported keeping the rec centre open. Clearly, there was an emotional attachment to the building for several candidates.

As Barnamova said: “I only know I like this building very much.”

McWhirter said operating costs, for a pool and/or ice pad complex, would require savings elsewhere, therefore the need to close down the rec centre.

Coun. Anderson, to negative reaction in the crowd, said there had been no gag order on daycare employees.

Most candidates supported the pool project, but Miller said the facility could be bigger, to make it an Ottawa Valley destination that helps pay for itself.

OPINION EDITORIAL

LETTER

The power of one vote One ballot may not seem very powerful. It’s a small slip of paper, or in today’s tech-wise world, it’s not even that – just a mere click of the mouse.

But if everyone voted responsibly, our politicians would have no choice but to listen.

Everyone lives his or her life based on a set of personal experiences and beliefs that can’t help but colour the way we view our world.

But personal bias can also tarnish our view. It can strip away that most precious attribute of humanity – empathy.

The secret to creating strong government – whether federal, provincial or municipal – is to understand the simple concept of common good.

Life is not an individual endeavour. It is human nature to want, and to need, interaction with others.

When hard times befall us, we want the support of our community. We should be prepared to give the same.

But sometimes we get tainted by the politics of fear. Desperate politicians know it will have impact. It is in their best interest to prod us to operate on fear: fear of losing one’s job, home, loved ones, material possessions from guns to land, or freedom itself.

But the minute you fall for that manic message, that is when you have truly lost your freedom.

That is when you are controlled.

Voters can’t always be experts on broad provincial or federal matters.

But municipally, we, the citizens, are indeed the experts. We know the services we use and need.

But too often we’re just too darn lazy to vote. It’s far easier to let the election slide by and then gripe afterwards. It clears us of blame because we simply aren’t accountable.

But don’t be fooled. You will pay. You will pay taxes. You will pay water bills. You will pay user fees. And you and your family will always hurt when the broader community hurts.

So care enough to care. Care enough to vote.

MP should hang her head in shame

To the editor: For the first time in the history of the United Nations, Canada’s application to become a member of the prestigious Security Council has been rejected.

There is little or no doubt that the rejection has everything to do with the policies of the current government, a Conservative Government, and absolutely nothing to do with the Leader of the Opposition.

Member nations of the UN have watched carefully as Canada has changed their policy with regard to Israel, changed their policy with regard to Africa, and taken a deliberately “non-green” approach where the environment is concerned.

Our government is going down the wrong path and the world is watching.

Unfortunately, our MP appears unable or unwilling to do anything to effect a correction. Their path on national issues is no less dismal; witness their rejection of the advice of Professionals at all levels with regard to both the Long Gun Registry and the Long Form Census.

Our Local MP, as clearly stated in her literature to her constituents, is “in bed” with the party on each of these issues.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Food bank grateful To the editor: The Renfrew and District Food Bank extends its heartfelt thanks to Renfrew and district citizens and businesses for their tremendous response to our needs over the last month.

Thanks to Renfrew Collegiate Institute; St. Joseph’s Catholic High School; Metro’s $10 food bags; church food drives; business cash donations; OPG golf tournament; and Renfrew Pizzaria’s smash-up car at the Renfrew Fair.

And to everyone who donates year round, a special thank you. This support will keep our motto alive – “Renfrew & District Food Bank provides food to people in need.”

It is with support like the above which makes Renfrew and district truly a proud place to live Doug Brookes President Renfrew and District Food Bank

Not everyone can afford the pool To the editor: A swimming pool complex in Renfrew would be both recreational and therapeutic. It would also cost a great deal of money.

Before beginning such a project I would hope to hear an open discussion covering initial costs and the ongoing maintenance, and the effect that these would have on our municipal taxes.

Remember we are still reeling from the effect of the HST and threatened with a steep increase in hydro bills. Remember too, this is cottage country and also the base for many seniors who are Snowbirds.

There may be many residents of Renfrew who can afford the cost of a swimming complex on top of everything else, but I am not one of them.

But he’d also like to represent the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board as the Bruce McIntyre trustee for the Town of Renfrew, Horton Township and Whitewater Region.

His platform of accountability, clarity and transparency spells out the acronym, ACT. To McIntyre that means such things as no cell phones in the classroom, more transparency at public meetings, increased physical activity in schools, and fixed-term limits for school board trustees.

The main reason for running for trustee is the handling of the two-tiered busing system known as staggered bells.

“When public meetings were held, our views and opinions were dismissed,” stresses McIntyre, 46. “The joint transportation committee had already made up their mind, and they led parents to believe that they were actually seeking our input. We were disrespected and our time was wasted.

“Had they informed us that they were going to use a staggered bells model, we may not have liked it, but we would have known where we stood.

Maybe staggered bells is the only option, but parents will never know because of the lack of transparency and accountability by both boards.”

As for cell-phones, McIntyre calls them intrusive, distracting and economically disturbing.

“One in five children in Renfrew County cannot even afford a basic backpack and school supplies,” says McIntyre.

“Some of our schools have breakfast clubs to help disadvantaged children get a proper start to the day. Who will pay for the contracts and service charges? If the school board pays, where will they draw the money from to finance them?

“This is a bad idea, and I want to be clear that I am against it. I want our schools to continue to be a place of quality education where basic education and the desire for higher faith-based learning are greater than the need to have our children texting on cell phones during the school day.”

He says current trustees “have performed a great service and their efforts should be acknowledged,” but as a parent with three children (at Our Lady of Fatima School), I have a substantial interest in the future of the school board and all children in the system.”

That’s also why he supports fixed term limits of two consecutive four-year terms.

“There should be a good turnover of new individuals who bring fresh ideas and new perspectives to the school board,” he explains.

Regarding physical activity, he says, “Our children today are obese. As a parent, I also take some of the blame for my children not being as physically active as they could. So I’d like to see more physical activity at the schools as well as at home. It starts at home and the schools should be an extension of that.”

McIntyre’s interests include volunteer work.

He has served as a director for the Renfrew Public Library board, Renfrew Kinsmen Club, Family and Children Services, and the Upper Ottawa Valley Chamber of Commerce.

Life wasn’t always easy as a child growing up in Pembroke. She was just four years old when her mom died. But her dad soldiered on, first as a farmer, later as an orderly at Marionhill Nursing Home in Pembroke, where the family of Anne Smith six children resided.

Education wasn’t a high priority in the family, but a devout faith was, as Anne Smith went on to graduate from Algonquin College with a diploma in business administration.

Years later, the single mother with two adult-age children and two Douglas-based grandchildren who attend high school, is running for her third term as a Renfrew County Catholic School Board trustee.

The Cobden resident and Eganville native joined the board part-way into her first term after Michael Laverty stepped down in 2004. In 2006, Smith was acclaimed.

This time she faces an opponent in Bruce McIntyre of Renfrew.

McIntyre is on record as saying parents are unhappy with the staggered-bells transportation system introduced to Renfrew and Arnprior schools this year. Smith says she’s hearing positive comments despite initial reticence to the two-tiered bus times for elementary and high school students.

“I haven’t had one complaint (from parents),” says Smith, 59. “Most of them have adjusted fairly well, and the high school students are liking it because they’re out early and have more time for their jobs.”

The addition of the Renfrew-Arnprior schools will create estimated savings of $200,000 this school year.

Smith, who has been knocking on doors, says, “My motto is excellence in education, and I’ll do everything I can to keep money in the classroom.”

This year, the board needed $500,000 from reserves to balance the budget, but she says that process must end sooner than later. Savings recognized in the Province’s annual efficiency and effectiveness review could bring more dollars to the board, she says.

While she had a huge learning curve after becoming a trustee six years ago, Smith says she brings something different to the board because of her work and family experience.

Her own education includes 19 years with the former Ministry of Housing or Renfrew County Housing Corporation, for whom she manages the socialhousing registry and tenant-placement program.

“It was a difficult ride for me, to get the education I got, because my father was a blue-collar worker who didn’t place that much value on higher education,” says Smith.

“My father devalued education and expected women to get married and have children young,” she adds, noting, “We all know education eradicates poverty. So anything I can do to keep students in school and learn, I feel that’s my role as a trustee.”

On the use of cell phones, Smith agrees with Premier Dalton McGuinty that they belong in the classroom, if used as supervised teaching tools.

Opponents to that idea remind her of people who 20 years ago said computers had no place in the classroom. On a personal note, Smith says she purchased a Blackberry last year to keep up with her grandchildren.

Before moving to Cobden, she lived in Renfrew from 1976 to 2005. The Muskrat Lake resident enjoys kayaking, canoeing, hiking, travelling and reading, especially political and historical fiction.

Focus on tax, noise, private roads LUCY HASS

lucy.hass@metroland.com

Apathy isn’t a problem in Greater Madawaska.

Extra chairs were pulled out at the community centre Saturday afternoon as council hopefuls made their pitch to voters at an all-candidates session in the village. There was standing room only as 12 candidates faced questions on taxes, private road maintenance, the noise bylaw, job opportunity, seniors housing, recreation and more.

Only Ward Three candidate Allan Pennock was absent. Local lawyer Chris Merla moderated the event.

RACE FOR REEVE JR Easton, who was a past reeve of the former Bagot and Blythfield Township, wants the amalgamation with neighbouring townships dissolved. He also seeks waste management improvements and isn’t about to cut any break for seasonal residents.

During a question-and-answer session, Easton said he didn’t see why they should be treated any different than anybody else and there should be no “off-balance.”

Jack Korwin, who represented a group of property owners in the Hurd’s Lake area, called for help, perhaps in the form of a subsidy.

Seasonal properties account for 50 to 55 per cent of all local taxes.

Incumbent Reeve Peter Emon described the issue as “exceptionally thorny” with roads ranging from wheel-tracks to 60-foot rights-of-way. He said there are about 105 private roads that would first need to be categorized and people on a specific road would need to speak with once voice, perhaps organized with a board of directors.

They would also have to ensure deeded access, enough room to do the work, and matching dollars. The impact on hydro and Bell utilities would also have to be considered.

“It’s going to be a long-term issue,” he said.

Current councillor John Pratt, who is also seeking the reeve’s post, would study how other municipalities address the issue and called seasonal residents “the ones who are doing the heavy lifting” when it comes to carrying the tax burden.

Emon wants to continue to expand broadband service to help local business, and invest in people, in particular the semi-retired and soon-to-be-retired segment of the population.

“That is the next wave of growth,” he said.

Pratt’s platform is to keep taxes low, keep trust in local government, be actionoriented and have a vision.

“We must plan for the future,” he urged, referring to a strategic action plan that is “sitting on a shelf ” and that could be key to winning provincial and federal funding.

“We must serve the entire township,” he further urged, noting gaps in garbage service, a problem with power outages in Griffith and Matawatchan, and work needed on county roads.

WARD ONE – TWO SEATS Marie Buscomb wants programs for se-

niors, youth and the disabled, and stresses the need to care about local lakes and rivers.

She wants to encourage more business, upgrade the medical centre, and secure senior housing and a convenient place for medical helicopters to land.

Brian Hunt believes his business and professional experience can “contribute to better management of the township.”

He wants better communication with ratepayers (including a semi-annual newsletter), timely response to all concerns, and application for all relevant upper-tier funding.

He also wants action on youth programs, the enticement of viable business, and he supports expansion of the medical centre with a nurse practitioner.

Vincent Johnson says he holds the whole township in his heart and will work for all.

He wants four seasons of inexpensive recreation for youth, “our future leaders,” economic development and seniors’ housing.

Donna Marie Kennedy believes in working together, taking responsibility and making well-researched, transparent decisions. She wants clear policies and enforceable bylaws.

Kennedy said current and accurate information is critical and she’s a strong proponent of ongoing communication with the electorate.

She also believes there should be an annual report on the township’s strategic plan.

Glenda McKay’s platform includes affordable housing, job creation, improved medical services, maintaining or reducing the tax burden, and support for local business via grants to start-up businesses.

She wants local government to be transparent, accountable and accessible.

McKay says she is a team player who supports collaborative solutions.

WARD TWO – ONE SEAT Bruno Kierczak and Mike McGarry are vying for the seat in Ward Two. Kierczak wants repairs to Flat and Ferguson roads, cleanup of the Black Donald dump to include containers, and an agreement with campsite owners.

He also wants to secure high-speed service, recruit doctors and further fund the DACA Centre to promote adolescent and senior programs.

To maintain the township’s advantage as a four-season tourist resort it must maintain its roads, he says.

Mike McGarry wants to work for highspeed internet and cell service, maintain and improve roads, protect land ownership, provide better communication, replace the Ferguson Lake bridge, and clean up the site of the old store in Dacre.

He believes you have to step up to the plate and make your concerns heard.

WARD THREE – ONE SEAT JP DeGrandmont noted the large physical separation between Calabogie and Griffith and how many Ward Three residents feel left out and treated like “the poor cousins to Calabogie.”

That concern arose at an all-candidates session in Griffith, as reported in last week’s Renfrew Mercury.

Who will you vote for?

Make informed decisions…

DeGrandmont wants to bring a proactive, co-operative and transparent approach to the council table.

Incumbent Karin Lehnhardt noted her support of past efforts such as the Renfrew Victoria Hospital dialysis unit expansion, the creation of Hospice Renfrew and ongoing physician recruitment.

She also fought hard for the local fire department to bring its aging fleet up to date.

Continued from Page 7 “I will work toward a helipad located in Calabogie and Ward Three,” she added. She also wants to review the township’s comprehensive planning bylaw and study library and recreation needs across the township.

During question-and-answer period, Lehnhardt identified one key problem facing recreation as lack of volunteers. To which Ward One candidate McGarry gave a proud tip of the hat to the Dacre and Area Community Association and invited others to visit and see how they “get the job done.”

Two key issues raised during the question-and-answer session were maintenance of private roads and taxes versus level of service.

On both points, Easton had little sympathy for seasonal residents.

“You can’t be treated differently; we all have to pay taxes,” he said.

“You may not like to pay taxes, but

CAO Angela Yolkowskie reports

that’s the way it is.”

Hurd’s Lake property owner Jack Korwin explained his taxes are now 10 times what they were in 1982.

“We’re providing a lot of the revenue in this township,” he said, suggesting a subsidy of maybe $50 per resident per year for road maintenance.

“Definitely not,” Easton replied.

Ward Two candidate Brian Hunt said there would be an uprising if people who can’t afford to pay were being asked to pay for those who can afford.

“There are a lot of people who have the money … and quite a group here who cannot afford a cottage,” he said to a scattered round of applause.

Pratt said everyone has fallen victim to escalating taxes, and DeGrandmont agreed.

“You’re not the only people concerned about taxes,” he told seasonal property owners. “I think the formula is wrong.” But he said

hope may be on the horizon with a look at zone-sensitive taxation.

James Henderson sought recognition that noise from the Calabogie MotorSports Park is a problem.

“Noise is always going to be an issue,” said Emon. “If they (CMP) violate the noise bylaw, then they will be charged as they have been charged in the past.”

“This thing has to stop,” challenger Easton said. “Let’s learn to take the necessary steps to live with this thing.”

It was a point that drew applause, and found agreement among other candidates.

“This has gone on long enough,” said Buscomb. “We have to support it, it is here.

Johnston said the track draws important tourism to the community.

“The track is here to stay so we need to move forward,” Kennedy offered.

Greater Madawaska librarian Skippy Hale pitched bigger budget

and accused council of not carrying its weight compared to provincial and federal governments.

Both Emon and Lehnhardt disagreed. They said council has provided stable, predictable funding and must look to the future.

Kierczk said Ward Two residents don’t frequent the Calabogie library.

“We have to look at how we’re going to deliver service; if we can change or adjust so there’s equity for everybody,” he said, an opinion that drew applause.

McKay believes the library is necessary and should be enveloped in the strategic plan.

“You do a whole lot with a little and I think you need a little more,” reeve candidate Pratt offered.

Other hot topics were the Black Donald waste site as a transfer station, specific road repairs, job creation, and recreation funding.

Concern was also raised about the extent of progress made on the township’s strategic plan.

that voter turnout had reached 37.74 per cent by Monday, with a week to go in the voting period.

That compares to a final turnout of about 41 per cent in 2006, when the township also voted by mail.

Greater Madawaska residents vote by mail and the township office has been receiving ballots since about Oct. 6. The daily mail delivery has risen from 200 a day to

300 by the end of last week and to 400 Monday, Yolkowskie said.

At the end of Monday, ballots had been received from 1,854 out of 4,903 electors.

Yolkowskie said she received 10 spoiled ballots Monday, mainly because people aren’t signing their declaration form. In the last election there were about 300 spoiled ballots.

In 2006, the turnout was slightly lower than usual, partly because the Ward 2 and Ward 3 councillors were acclaimed. Voters were asked to have their ballot packages in the mail by Saturday, Oct. 16. Those who have yet to vote can drop their packages off at the Calabogie Community Hall or the old municipal office in Griffith from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. election day Monday, Oct. 25.

Online From front Local residents were eligible to start casting ballots at the town hall’s election headquarters at 9 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 18.

The headquarters schedule for voting, at the municipal office, is 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Friday, then 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., both Saturday and Election Day Monday. A total of 61 hours are available for Renfrew residents casting paper, telephone or electronic votes at the municipal office. But they can also vote online or by telephone anytime since the voting timetable began Monday morning.

The results of votes from local nursing homes and the hospital are also expected to be released before 9 p.m.

Paper-ballot results may be available closer to 10 p.m., estimated Renfrew clerk Kim Bulmer.

Record voting at A-B advance poll

Voting in Admaston-Bromley’s advance polls produced a record number this election.

A total of 119 ballots were cast for the Wards 3 and 4 station at Stone Road.

That’s well more than double

the number for many previous elections, says clerk Bev Briscoe. About two dozen ballots were cast for Wards 1 and 2 at the Barr Line Community Centre.

Most voters seem to know

where to go to cast their paper ballot election day, but Briscoe says she has received a small number of enquiries. Admaston-Bromley voters were not sent voter cards.

Briscoe reminds township

residents that those in Ward 1 and 2 vote at the Barr Line Community Centre, while Ward 3 and 4 residents vote at the Stone Road municipal office.

No matter who forms Horton council for the next four years, outgoing Mayor Bob Johnston says something should be done about the township’s website.

Several residents, including some candidates in the current municipal election, say they don’t like it, said Johnston at the Oct. 5 council meeting.

Johnston said even “old cronies” like himself want to learn more by visiting the website.

“It’s definitely something we want to look at,” agreed Horton CAO-clerk Mackie McLaren.

Deputy Mayor Bob Hall suggested a summer student be hired

Expo 150 tree coming The County of Renfrew’s Expo 150 organizing committee wants to plant a large commemorative tree within each of the county’s municipalities.

The cost of planting 12- to 15foot trees and installing a small plaque, to note the 150th-anniversary celebration, will be paid by the organizing committee.

“We believe this project will be a fitting legacy to our celebration, given that the county’s motto is Floreat Arbour, (or) Let the Trees Flourish,” said Expo 150 chairman Bob Sweet of Petawawa.

Renfrew approved the request at its Oct. 12 council meeting.

Mayor Sandi Heins suggested a maple or maple-like tree be planted in O’Brien Park, where much of the logging and gristmill activity in Renfrew’s earlier history took place. Those landmarks, said Heins, “basically put Renfrew on the map.”

Coun. Tom Anderson said he liked Heins’ suggestion of O’Brien Park.

The county’s 150th-anniversary celebrations are June 9-12, 2011 at the Pembroke & Area Airport.

Please Read Before You Vote Oct. 25 SLOGAN – We do it that way because everyone else does Some ideas need to be adopted and some need to be changed Some areas I would like change: 1. This is not a new idea but one I think should be brought forward. Take a school in Renfrew and open up the first and second floors three times a week 6 to 9 p.m. for people to walk. Exercise indoors during the winter months. We build the schools with our tax money so let’s use them. It is done in Arnprior as being president of the Legion we support the idea fully.

2. This is a change in ideas. When a Residential or Commercial customer comes around to build we take a deposit in order to finish the building they started. The Township sends workers out to see how your project is coming and how much deposit do you deserve back. (Ask builders if they hate this idea.) BAD IDEA – Maybe this person has never built a home and we as taxpayers should have him doing his work not looking after ours!

HOPEFULLY OUR SOLUTION – When customers put road (entrance) and culvert in they get 50% back right away to spend on their building. Remember at this time they have crossed Township property and are on their property. The remaining 50% will go back to developers after we meet with them to get their opinions and draw up a new law.

3. Establish billboards around the Township expressing how happy we would be to have you relocate your business here (the sign would include the Township phone number and the contact person we as taxpayers choose.) It might not be the perfect idea yet (billboards that is) but it is a start. Again, as I have said all along, with more business leads to a better commercial tax base which takes the burden off the residential taxes.

These are only 3 ideas we as Horton taxpayers must implement right away

This reality, therefore, means the county has to leverage its funds for marketing and special projects while continuing to lobby for federal and provincial government funding.

BUDGET FIGURES The budget process for 2011 is just starting, while the 2010 budget contained $24,700 for special projects (including Taste of the Valley events, investor-immigrant attraction, and workshops) and $16,000 for marketing (for such items as advertising, and preparation of investor kits and trade show packages).

Wilkie asked county councillors for feedback by Oct. 8, prior to the county’s development and property committee meeting Oct. 12. No additional feedback was received on the report, which was also presented at committee level in September.

The development plan’s five key themes and priorities are listed as natural resources (agriculture and forestry), the development of green economy, tourism and business, and transportation infrastructure.

Under natural resources, goals included the creation and promotion of agri-business financing and programs, hosting workshops, marketing investment opportunities and possible trade missions abroad.

Recommended activities under green economy development include support of renewable energy opportunities, lobbying for better grid capacity, hosting investment tours and encouraging the use of alternative energy, especially biomass.

Huge dollars aren’t allocated to the county’s specific economic development projects. The majority of economic development is spent on salaries for a small number of staff to network and investigate potential economic opportunityies.

These amounts “might seem like a small amount of money,�

Wilkie told the Mercury. “That’s why it’s important to leverage to provincial and federal funding where there might be much higher dollars.�

County staff specifically working on economic development are Wilkie, natural resources business development officer Alastair Baird and information co-ordinator Darrell Beanish, in addition to work by the Ottawa Valley Tourist Association and Enterprise Renfrew County.

Plans can be wonderful, but they need teeth to be implemented.

That was one of the themes of Renfrew County economic development manager Mitchell Wilkie while presenting a draft version of the county’s five-year economic plan to county council Sept. 30.

That same plan is expected to be approved at next Wednesday’s (Oct. 27) county council meeting as the county continues to focus on such critical economic development issues as maintaining railway service and extending Highway 417 across the county.

Goals of the five-year plan include having an active economic development website by 2011 with active demographic data to attract business to the area, said Wilkie. “We want to lobby where we can,� added Wilkie, noting the need to also attract regular airplane access to the county.

He said regular airport access would facilitate travel for thousands of guests to AECL (Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd.) and civilian flights to Canadian Forces Base Petawawa.

McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell called the economic plan “excellent� while acknowledging the extent of economic challenges. “It’s a good opportunity for us to jump on the bandwagon,� added Bonnechere Valley Mayor Zig Mintha.

The biggest improvement in economic development, Wilkie told the Mercury last week, will be Broadband improvements to make “good high-speed access� a reality for 95 per cent of eastern Ontario residents by 2013.

Right now he estimates only about 60 to 65 per cent of Renfrew County’s population has high-speed access.

Meanwhile, Hwy. 417 extension remains critical to future economic development, especially if railway service is curtailed, said Wilkie. “Big manufacturers need to be within 20 minutes of an extended highway, which is why there’s more industry in Arnprior and Renfrew, where they’re closer to 417.�

Losing the railway, said Wilkie, would definitely “change the dynamics of the county in the short term. We want to be able to attract bigger industrial development that may depend on the railway.�

Stir over pipes project at Haley

McAllister

McAllister Ford, Renfrew 298 Veterans Memorial Way

would like to welcome

Construction of new water pipes, to replace decades-old pipes at the Haley townsite, is expected to get underway by next week.

Whitewater Region Township council voted Sept. 22 to proceed with replacement of the water lines in the Haley townsite.

However, several Haley residents are rolling their eyes for two reasons.

The project is going to result in much higher water bills for the townsite residents for the next 40 years, and several residents don’t believe the township was actually going to use the awarded provincial and federal money for their project.

Whitewater Region Mayor Don Rathwell admits he hesitated about going ahead with the expensive project because of the cost to a small number of households.

The townsite’s water pipes, which were installed in 1942 and 1952, are in bad condition.

“We were contemplating (reallocating the money to a more extensive Cobden water pipe project), but never without going back to the residents,” Rathwell told the Mercury.

“I don’t believe that,” said Lloyd Shields, who has lived on the townsite since the early 1970s.

“They dragged their feet since last July with the news about the grant … until we got the information from Cheryl Gallant.”

Haley resident Kim McDonald had a similar reaction.

“We are very disappointed with the present council for delaying this as long as they have.

It should have been done in the spring, and now they’re waiting until mid-October to do this, and winter’s coming. Not very good.”

The situation was discussed in a Sept. 2 meeting at Haley United Church attended by more than 30 local residents, Malcolm Montgomery of MP Cheryl Gallant’s office, Mayor Rathwell and fellow council members.

Several residents were very angry and disgruntled, say local residents. “It got a little hot at times,” admitted Shields.

Another resident, Donald Broome of Cobden, said residents left the meeting madder than hell.

“And who can blame them after they found out the head rooster and his head rooster were trying to shanghai the federal grant

money Cheryl Gallant had gotten to upgrade the Haley water system – to fix the Cobden water system instead – without consulting the town site residents first,” said Broome in a letter to the Mercury.

Shields says Gallant’s office didn’t know if the residents were still willing to foot one-third of the cost of the Building Canada fund.

In these cost-shared projects, the province, the federal government, and the municipality (or in this case the affected residents) each pay one-third of the original cost estimate.

That estimate is $587,568, thus the provincial and federal governments each contributed $195,856.

Rathwell says the township waited to start the project, in the hope Haley and other small water sites in the province might benefit from special government funding.

Whitewater’s deadline for the tenders was Monday, Oct. 18 of this week.

“We hope to award the contract on the 20th,” said Whitewater chief administrative officer Dean Sauriol of last night’s council meeting. The CAO hopes the construction work will start almost immediately.

After meeting with residents Sept. 2, Rathwell indicated the project would proceed if 80 per cent of the 34 affected households supported the plan.

Whitewater Region council received 29 survey responses, or 85 per cent support.

Some townsite residents, such as Shields, say they only became aware about the status of the project in a letter to local residents from Renfrew-NipissingPembroke MP Gallant.

Awarded in the summer of 2007, the funds will have to be returned if not used by March 31, 2011.

“What happened is the township never told us the money came through, and Cheryl got in touch with us and indicated that they were trying to move the funds to another project,” said Shields.

“If they had taken the money someplace else, it’s grant money we would never have got again.”

Following 2009 water plant upgrades, annual water bills for Haley residents will likely jump early in 2011 from about $500 to $900. Following this month’s repairs, Rathwell says those bills are expected to rise, by next summer, to over $1,300.

COMMUNITY Dewey Data from the Greater Madawaska Public Library MARY JOAN HALE I have been remiss in not posting for a while. After a short illness then catch-up at work, I am back fit as a fiddle. The volunteers have been busy filling the shelves with new titles from our backlog of unprocessed books and DVDs. With some of the grant money left, I plan to top up with some new best sellers. There is a hiatus as far as book donations, but if you have a recent best-seller in good condition, send an email or call the library to see if it is needed. Please do not bring in a large box of old books because I do not have the storage space.

I have added the MangoLanguages site on all of the in-house stations. Come in and sample a language, register, and then use the program at home. You must have a library card. I have tried Irish and Japanese, but hope to improve my French which is very rusty.

The Early Learning Centre is back and the pre-schoolers are enjoying the programs provided.

An update with more options will soon be available. It is not connected to the Internet, but if parents wish, they may bring in a memory stick to save a list of safe, tested children’s websites for home. The Preschool Storytyme has moved to Thursday morning, 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., so Ks can visit and families can participate in the playgroup on Tuesday mornings at the CE Hall in Calabogie.

Call the library for more information.

In the next while, I plan to host some visits by local writers who have new books available.

The new website is up, but it is just in its infancy and still has much growing to do! I plan to have pages for various age groups and interests. Local artists who exhibit in the ‘Library Hallway Gallery’ will be able to showcase some of their works. There will be book reviews and you will have the opportunity for input as well.

There will also be a Heritage/Local History Page. We have many photos donated by a family whose grandma lived here in the 1800s.

If permission is granted, they too, will be posted. I hope that our backlog of archival material will be digitalized and posted. The Board’s Minutes will be on another page. These are early days so there is much work ahead. I plan on colourful displays and graphics to animate the site.

October is Canadian Library Month and Oct. 17 to 23 Ontario Public Library Week is being celebrated. The theme this year is Opening Doors to the Future: Your Library, Your World. If the library is the cultural hub of the community, then come through the GMPL door and look beyond.

It’s all about caring for residents at Groves Park Lodge PETER CLARK

peter.clark@metroland.com

Groves Park Lodge continues to update itself to remain a first-class longterm care home.

During a tour Oct. 8, Christina Bisanz, CEO of the Ontario Long Care Term Association (OLTCA), saw first-hand the innovations at the Renfrew long-term care home which first opened its doors almost 30 years ago.

Groves Park has 75 long-stay beds, 11 interim beds and four transitional beds, administrator Carrol Haywood pointed out.

“We have about 120 staff and 90 residents, soon to be 95,” Haywood added.

Groves Park has been awarded five additional beds by the Minister of Health and Long Term Care. The home has helped meet the long term care needs of Renfrew and area residents since 1981.

Bisanz addressed the gathering that included Renfrew-Nipissing-Renfrew MP Cheryl Gallant and Renfrew Mayor Sandi Heins.

OLTCA represents the not-for-profit, charitable, private and municipal operators of 428 long-term care homes that provide care and services to about 50,000 residents throughout Ontario.

“It is important to get out and see homes, talk to administrators, staff, residents, owners,” Bisanz said.

In her 16 months on the job, Bisanz has visited a number of homes throughout the province, including two dozen last year and several this year.

She said people don’t realize the impact long term care homes make.

“The perception is that long-term care homes are just for the frail and the elderly; only a place to stay until they move on,” Bisanz said.

“I find a constant in each home.

There is a sense of pride. It’s not just care, it becomes their home.

Casual Sportswear “Long-term care homes not only care for their residents, but often are a major employee of the community,” she added.

“It’s not just a place where old folks go. This place is very active in our community,” noted Renfrew Mayor Sandi Heins.

On the tour, Haywood explained to Bisanz that since 2007 once per month a staff member is presented with the Residents Choice Award. The award allows residents to choose and recognize staff members who have provided exceptional care, and improved resident quality of life that month.

The winner has their photo and name in an acrostic poem displayed for all visitors to Groves Park to see at the front door.

“This is another example of the innovative quality care programming that homes are developing and implementing to improve quality of life for residents,” Bisanz observed.

Groves Park Lodge owners Syed and Gloria Hussain came to Renfrew from Halifax in 1981.

“We loved this place and still do so to this day,” Gloria Hussain said. There is always a need for improvements at the home, she added. “Improvements are always on-going. We are dedicated to giving care to seniors.”

Thousands flock to Taste of the Valley in Cobden

Close to 6,000 visitors descended on the Village of Cobden last Saturday to enjoy the biggest Taste of the Valley yet.

More than 90 local agricultural and assorted County of Renfrew vendors and food producers enjoyed the sunny autumn weather to treat the visitors to the best the area has to offer.

In addition to the successful event, over 500 pounds of food was raised for the local food bank thanks to the generosity of the visitors to the Fairgrounds that day.

Taste of the Valley featured local beef, pork, lamb, dairy, honey, ice cream, maple syrup, fruits & vegetables, an outdoor pig roast, an historical Pioneer Village and large kids play area and plenty of food samples.

Co-organizer Bruce McIntyre thanked all those who made the day such a success.

“The elected members of Renfrew County Council are committed to showcasing the best of Renfrew County,” he said.

“By developing partnerships with Renfrew County Commu-

nity Futures and Protyre of Renfrew, we are able to offer residents and visitors the chance to shop local and support our local businesses.

“The addition of the large outdoor tent really helped add a number of additional vendors

to the day. We are already making plans for Taste of the Valley in 2011, and we will once again offer the best that can be found in the County of Renfrew,” says McIntyre.

Cobden was the original site of Taste of the Valley in 2007.

Arnprior, Barry’s Bay and Petawawa each held a Taste of the Valley in 2010.

Taste of the Valley is sponsored by the County of Renfrew, ProTyre in Renfrew and Renfrew County Community Futures Development Corporation.

ARE YOU READY FOR WINTER DRIVING? Winter is coming and with it comes challenging driving conditions.

The time to prepare for winter driving is in the fall, prior to the first snowfall. You need to prepare both yourself and your vehicle.

For your vehicle install four winter tires, tune up your vehicle for the winter weather, pack an emergency kit, and always travel with at least a half a tank of gas.

For yourself, get into the mindset of winter driving, plan your trip, check road and weather conditions, give yourself extra travel time, and most importantly slow down and wear your seatbelt. For more details, visit the Ontario Ministry of Transportation Winter Driving website.

“On behalf of the residents of the Ottawa Valley, I congratulate and welcome Kinga and all new Canadians on becoming citizens of our great country, ” said Gallant.

MP seeks input on rail service Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant reminds all interested stakeholders that Nov. 8 is the deadline for comments on the interim report issued by the independent review panel established by the federal Conservative government on rail freight service.

“According to the panel appointed to look into the future of rail freight service, there was a relative lack of feedback regarding service provided by rail shortlines like the Ottawa Valley Railway (OVR) and the Ottawa Central Railway (OCR). As the panel is concerned with customer service, they need to hear from Ottawa Valley stakeholders about how line abandonment would impact their business,” said Gallant.

The federal Conservative government established the Rail Freight Service Review to examine and respond to concerns about rail freight service. The independent panel conducting the review released its interim report Oct. 8. It recommends ways to improve the efficiency, effectiveness and reliability of the rail supply chain. The panel will consider stakeholders’ feedback on the interim report for a period of one month.

“The government encourages stakeholders to give comments to their Member of Parliament so that these can be taken into consideration for the final report,” said Gallant. “My caucus colleague, Minister of State for Transport Rob Merrifield, has asked the panel to submit its final report to him by Dec. 22, 2010.

In order to meet this deadline, the panel is inviting all interested parties to provide written comments on the interim report

portation networks and critical to local/regional economic development.

Key issues raised include: • inadequate track maintenance; • need to upgrade track to main-line standards so that cars can be fully loaded; • line abandonment; • demarketing of some lines without putting them up for sale or transfer under the CTA provisions; and • unreasonable financial and other sale/transfer conditions set by the main-line carriers that discourage the sale of lines to shortline operators.

Key solutions to address branch line concerns include: • placing a moratorium on line abandonments; • amending the CTA line transfer provisions to allow more time for entities to consider the railways’ discontinuance plans; • encouraging public/private ownership of low-volume rail lines with running rights given to all railway companies. Such actions would result in long-term planning of railway infrastructure acquisition of rights of way, upgrading and investment, all in the public interest; • empowering the agency to investigate demarketing and other strategic de-facto abandonment activities of rail carriers; • transferring low-volume lines to shortline operators; and • providing federal funding to assist in the establishment of shortline railways.

“With the future of two shortline railways up for discussion in the Ottawa Valley, the OVR and the OCR, I encourage all interested parties, particularly shippers in the forest industry as well as municipalities concerned about economic development, to provide their comments for submission as soon as possible,” Gallant said.

What happens when personal values, an individual’s belief system and standardized hospital practices don’t agree?

Our health care providers face a wide range of conflicting issues on a daily basis.

Some of them are routine and have relatively straight-forward answers. At other times, the answers aren’t so clear.

RVH sets itself apart by taking a very progressive stand on ethical issues.

“Renfrew is very unique,” comments retired Rev. Dr. George Hermanson, chair of the hospital’s ethics committee. “Most smaller hospitals don’t have such wellestablished ethics committees, it’s usually the bigger (hospitals) that do.”

RVH established a medical staff committee in 1992 comprised of doctors and a few community members. That group evolved to become an official board committee a decade later.

The ethics committee acts as a resource for staff, patients and patients’ families when dealing with difficult situations.

Their main goal is to set core values that apply across the board.

The group is comprised of two representatives from the hospital’s board of directors, two doctors, community member Don Goulet (who was part of the original committee), a local lawyer, a representative from the dialysis unit, a representative from the auxiliary and two members of the clergy.

Hermanson has an advanced degree in ethics, and says it was logical to share his knowledge in this capacity, so he became involved as a ministerial representative in 1998. He retired, took a short break, and has returned to the board as a community member. Two years ago he was appointed chair of the ethics committee.

“To think ethically is more than using common sense,” he says of their role in assisting the health care team.

He points out that situations can quickly become complicated when the patient’s wishes or the family’s choices differ from common practice.

Hermanson says that’s why it is so future, while the committee continues to important that the hospital has input from build upon RVH policies already in place various community perspectives; the doctors with regards to ethical conflict resolution. and staff have an opportunity to present their Each meeting also highlights case studies medical expertise, lawyers can explain the brought forward by hospital departments.

Hermanson says these case studies have legalities of a given situation and Hermanson and the other community been very helpful as resolutions are reportrepresentatives are there to provide ethical ed back to the corresponding manager for further review with their staff, and can be insights.

Along with helping in decision-making used for future reference.

Ethical decisions are part of daily processes, the committee is reaching out to provide educational sessions for staff and practice in any hospital setting. Providing the opportunity and time to reflect and to be the community at large.

In June, RVH hosted Dr. Robert Butcher, a proactive through ongoing committee nationally-recognized leader in ethical frame- discussions is one of the elements that sets works and the principals of ethical decision- RVH apart in this important area of care. making. Hermanson was pleased to see about 50 people attend, including physicians, nurses, and other community health care partners like representatives from local long-term care facilities.

The committee has also provided an educational event for the wider community focused on The RVH Ethics Committee: Rev. George Hermanson, Chair, living wills.

for these #3816 Colby Colby, an eight-year-old neutered male, would make an ideal companion for a senior. He was brought to the shelter at the end of August when he was found as a stray in Arnprior. Colby is a large, quiet cat who is not very active. He is very affectionate and enjoys sleeping in the sunshine. He gets along well with other cats. Colby’s longer fur will require regular grooming to prevent matting.

#3805 Palmer Palmer is a four-month-old neutered male who is sure to keep his new owners busy with his silly antics. Palmer was found living under a porch with his littermates.

He is easy to handle and quite affectionate once he knows you. Palmer is active, healthy, and fully litter trained. He loves to play, run, climb and jump and would make a great companion for a home with another cat.

Supplies the shelter needs: paper towels, liquid laundry soap, dry and canned kitten food and canned dog food.

MPP Yakabuski taking care of business with Taking Care CD John Yakabuski, MPP for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, says he is delighted to announce that his second CD, Taking Care, will soon be released.

He feels good about how it has turned out and is hoping that music lovers across the region will agree with him.

The CD will sell for $20 and all proceeds will go directly to the nine Renfrew County long-term care homes in Yakabuski’s riding.

Those homes are Bonnechere Manor and Groves Park Lodge in Renfrew; Caressant Care in Cobden; Four Seasons Lodge and North Renfrew Long Term Care in Deep River; Marianhill and Miramichi Lodge in Pembroke; Valley Manor Nursing Home in Barry’s Bay and The Grove in Arnprior.

“The new CD is 42 minutes (13 tracks) of some real good music,” says a news release from MPP Yakabsuki’s office.

Yakabsuki covers Canadian icon, Gordon Lightfoot’s Second Cup of Coffee; Valley Legend Mac Beattie’s Lake Dore Waltz and 11 other great tunes.

Yakabuski is thrilled to have one of the Ottawa Valley’s best known singers and entertainers, Ottawa Valley Hall of Famer inductee Gail Gavan join him in a duet on the new release.

They sing The Far Side Banks of Jordan, a song about love and faith that was sung by Johnny Cash and his wife, June CarterCash.

Yakabuski noted that he couldn’t have undertaken this project without the assistance of so many, including Brian Hebert who produced the CD, the nine area long-term care homes and the 16 sponsors.

The CD sponsors are M. Sullivan and Son Limited of Arnprior; Wilson Investments and Deslaurier Custom Cabinets of Renfrew; Wilderness Tours of Forester Falls; Yolkowski Monuments of Cobden; the Lapointe Auto Group, Eastway Construction and Shaw Lumber of Pembroke; Lorraine’s Pharmasave, Royal Lepage Gale Real Estate and the O’Reilly Funeral Home, Barry’s Bay; the Eganville Leader, Enbridge Gas, MacEwen Fuels, the Dominion of Canada Insurance and Bruce Power.

Taking Care will be available at various outlets across the Valley as well as the nine LTC Homes and MPP Yakabuski’s constituency office in Pembroke.

This special announcement is part of a unique partnership with the County of Renfrew Emergency Services Department and the University of Ottawa Heart Institute Heart Wise Program.

More than 75 people attended the event Sept. 28 at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School and were trained in CPR and AED skills.

NOVEMBER 9 START Get W.I.T.H. It (walking in the hallways) will launch at St. Joseph’s and provide a free, accessible and safe space to stay active and social during the cold winter months.

The walk will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. starting Nov. 9 and going through March 2011.

“We are thrilled to be able to partner with incredible agencies to launch this project,” said St. Joseph’s High School principal Mark Searson.

“We are excited to be able to extend our goal of sustaining a healthy and safe environment to a wider Renfrew community through the launch of this program.”

“Currently over 1,000 Renfrew County residents are registered to walk at these Heart Wise Exercise walking programs,” says Shawna Babcock, executive director of KidActive.

“It’s wonderful to see St. Joseph’s taking a leadership role and open up their doors to the community to increase physical activity levels,” she says.

KidActive is the recipient of a Healthy Communities Grant from the Government of Ontario’s Ministry of Health Promotion.

It was an early-season battle of two Valley Division rivals starving for a victory as the 2010-11 Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League campaign reached its quarter point Sunday night at the MaTe-Way Activity Centre.

Cal Smith’s Renfrew Timberwolves answered the challenge in a big way, securing an 8-2 triumph over the Pontiac Juniors. The win allows the Wolves to climb back over the Shawville squad and into fourth place in the Valley loop with a 4-5-and-1 record.

Jesse Riopelle returned to the Renfrew lineup from injury and made his presence felt in a big way with two goals and one assist. Linemates Derrin Lahoux added a goal and an assist, and Steven Powell four helpers to the Wolves attack.

Patrice Wren, defenceman and Renfrew Pizzeria Wolves player-of-the-game Sam Gleason, Mitch Parker, Kirk Skebo and blueliner Erik Mask collected singles as the Wolves built 2-0 and 4-1 leads at the period intervals.

Matt Grandinetti and Evgeni Petrenko connected for Shawville.

Wolves netminder Mike Rosebrook made 36 saves in the victory while two Pontiac goalkeepers combined to face 43 Renfrew shots. The Wolves were 12:02

away from earning penalty-free plaques when recent acquisition Nick Van Esson and former Renfrew minor hockey product Dylan Wisotzki got locked up in a spirited scrap. Around that, there were only nine minor penalties called.

5-3 LOSS TO CLARENCE CREEK Goaltender Richard Barr, Renfrew’s player-of-the-game, gave the Wolves a chance with a 40-save effort, but a thirdperiod rally came up a bit short in Renfrew’s second consecutive 5-3 setback.

Kirk Skebo and Dylan Zavitske cut into a 4-1 Clarence Creek Beavers lead just past the eight-minute mark of the final session before Sebastien Dion connected for his second of the night with 6:51 remaining to give the Metro Division leaders the insurance they were looking for.

The night got off to a promising start for the Wolves as Tyler Charbonneau clicked off a perfectly-executed two-onone break with Skebo just 20 seconds into the contest. The lead stayed intact until the Beavers broke free with four unanswered goals in the middle frame.

Although not busy in facing 20 shots, the Creek’s Pat Martin did come up big with a pair of breakaway stops when his team needed him.

Jaguars hoops teams look forward to playoffs PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

The St. Joseph’s Senior Jaguars stretched their unbeaten mark in 2010 to 6-and-0 with a pair of Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association girls basketball wins last week, while the Junior Jaguars did likewise to all but lock up a playoff berth at 4-and-2.

The Senior Jaguars scored respective 28-14 and 48-21 triumphs over the visiting Bishop Smith Crusaders and General Panet Panthers.

Sarah MacLaren led the scoring parade with 15 points in one game while sister Rebecca MacLaren had a season-high 26 points in the other.

Coach Mike McMahon said the game versus General Panet provided a good opportunity to get

everyone some floor time.

The Junior Jaguars defeated Bishop Smith 43-19 and outlasted General Panet 40-35.

The defence was solid in the win over Bishop Smith, while the General Panet contest wasn’t as close as it sounded. “We led from the start and then withstood a General Panet run late in the game. We turned up the intensity when we had to,” coach Mark Valliquette observed.

Melissa Verch, Sonya Bergin, Renee Gauthier and Shannon Charbonneau were key contributors to the victories, the coach added.

The Jaguars took a pair of matches from Deep River’s Mackenzie Mustangs in boys volleyball action. St. Joseph’s won the junior clash 3-2 and followed up with a 3-1 win over the Mustangs in the senior contest.

Rain can’t deter annual Milk Run The annual Admaston Milk Run was held on a rainy Thursday, Oct. 14 at Ma-Te-Way Park.

This year’s cross-country run drew close to 600 students from 14 Renfrew County schools, noted organizer Sherri Madore of Arnprior’s Walter Zadow Public School.

Jeanne-Lajoie of Pembroke captured the overall team title while St. Michael’s Douglas came in second and Walter Zadow third.

The Renfrew County Milk Producers continued their on-going tradition of sponsoring the Milk Run and supplying milk to all the runners. Organizers also thanked St. John Ambulance for their annual attendance, and the staff at Ma-Te-Way. “It was typical Milk Run weather,” Madore said of the bouts with rain. “Despite that, it was a great day.”

Blok a solid eighth JIM LEGGETT

Nathan Blok’s first season in Formula 1600 was full of new experience, joys and a few mechanical heartbreaks, ending with an impressive eighthplace finish out of 51 registered entrants despite two mechanical DNFs in Trois-Rivières. The 16year-old Beachburg driver enjoyed success early on with a first-place finish at the Ted Powell Memorial Race in Calabogie at the end of July, part of the Ontario Formula Ford Championship.

After Trois-Rivières, he joined Britain West Motorsports who did a superb job of preparing the car for the NAPA 200 and the Fall Classic at Mont Tremblant.

Coming off an extremely good qualifying session at NAPA 200 in Montreal Aug. 29, Blok qualified fourth, showing substantially improved lap times over his previous race in Montreal.

Plans for 2011 are to run a full season in Formula 1600 and pursue the championship title.

Nathan Blok’s 2010 racing season was made possible by the support of his many sponsors.

Nathan Blok is a 16-year-old student at Fellowes High School in Pembroke. A dedicated student, Nathan is a black belt in karate and enjoys online racing. Visit www.nathanblok.com for more.

Raider senior girls bring home second hoops title of 2010-11 PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

The Renfrew Collegiate Raiders senior girls basketball team earned its second tournament title of 2010 by capturing the Canterbury Classic in Ottawa last weekend.

The Raiders defeated host Canterbury High School 51-42 before a packed gymnasium, then topped Elmwood 52-41 to reach the final.

Coaches Vicki Wilson and Adam Noack credited the team’s depth in breaking open a one-point half time lead en route to a 47-24 verdict over the St. Puis X-Men in the final. Maddie Kubiseski had 17 points, Caitlin Dougherty 14 points and Mae Donohue 10 for RCI. The Raiders swept Fellowes Falcons in Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association girls hoops action Oct. 12.

Alison Martin led the way with six points in a defensive-minded junior contest, won 26-15 by RCI. The Senior Raiders prevailed 45-23 behind 15 points from Sarah Dougherty.

Mae Donohue and Caitlin Dougherty added eight points, and Meghan Forgie six to the Raiders attack.

FOOTBALL The Raiders suffered a stunning loss in Lanark-Renfrew High School Football League action at Ma-Te-Way Park’s Lindsay Athletic Field last Friday afternoon.

Fortunately for the senior squad, it shouldn’t affect their status for a playoff spot.

The Raiders were sailing along with an 8-0 lead with 1:50 remaining when the bottom fell out. When the rain finally settled, the Smiths Falls Redhawks scored two touchdowns to steal a 12-8 triumph before a remaining crowd of a few hearty souls.

The recovery of a short kickoff following the first of the two Dischaine Thomp-

son touchdowns allowed the Smiths Falls comeback to materialize.

Jesse Nadobny scored the lone RCI major while Adam Scott added the convert and Cameron Shields a single point, all in the first half.

Coach Todd Stewart said with the proper mind set and some good practices, the Raiders have as good of chance as anyone to win the 2010 title.

“Hold your heads high,” Stewart said at game’s end. “One lucky squib (short kick) or we win 8-6. We win our last two games and we still finish in third place.”

The Raiders travel to Mackenzie and Fellowes to close out the regular season.

A Matthew Larabie kickoff return for a touchdown just before half time, and a punt return for a second major by the same player midway through the third quarter proved to be the difference as the St. Johns Spartans doubled the Raiders 24-12 in the Junior encounter.

Drew Edwards hauled in a 29-yard pass from quarterback Devin Clouthier in the last minute of the opening half, while Clouthier scored from a couple of yards out on a fine second effort in the fourth quarter to account for the RCI points.

“We got beaten by speed; two big plays,” coach Ed Oegema observed.

The coach noted that the league goes is cycles. While a team would like to, no one competes for the title every year. The lack of speed is what hurts this team the most, he said. “We are playing for this year and playing for next year,” he added of the 1and-3 Raiders, who need wins over Notre Dame, Carleton Place and Smiths Falls to keep playoff hopes alive.

RCI subdued the Arnprior Redmen in five sets on the senior boys volleyball court.

Raiders coach Dale Frew said the Raiders persevered in a hard-fought match.

The Raiders host the Renfrew County cross-country championship Friday at Ma-Te-Way Park.

ANNOUNCEMENT

peter.clark@metroland.com

For the second time in as many years, ProTyre and Scheel Communications met for top honours in the Ma-Te-Way Men’s Slo Pitch League.

On Wednesday (Oct. 13) ProTyre swept a doubleheader to avenge the 2009 result by capturing this year’s best-of-five final series three games to one.

Neil Lockwood’s three-run shot in the bottom of the fifth inning of game three in the series was the difference in a 10-7 ProTyre triumph.

Steve Cunningham added three hits and scored twice in support of pitcher Stephane Lapensee, who earned both decisions over

Scheel counterpart Shannon Manion on this night.

The championship clincher wasn’t as close.

ProTrye drew the first ace when Dan Lavallee belted a grand slam home run in the top of the opening frame to fuel a 2812 victory.

Dave Howard (four hits), Lockwood (five hits) and Jason Marshall (five hits) also went deep.

Marshall scored five times.

Chad Mullen wielded the big bat for Scheel with a home run and eight hits over the two games.

The 2010 title is the second in ProTyre history. They also captured the league’s top honour in 2003.

Behind the Glass: It’s good to be back ANDY SKLEPOWICZ Renfrew Curling Rink

It certainly felt great, finally hitting the ice, both literally and figuratively. At least it felt great until my wife and her team proceeded to wipe the ice with me, despite the efforts of my team to stage a late desperate comeback.

I think I really need to revisit my summer training program; those sprints to the fridge certainly didn’t get the legs ready for a season of curling. Oh well, no where to go but up; unless my team dumps me first. Hey, even the Sens won a game; looks like Kovalev used my summer training program.

It was certainly nice to meet all of our new curlers, many of whom participated in the intro clinic. But it was especially great to see so many curlers coming back to the club after being away for a number of years. And after seeing how well they curled maybe I should try that approach to rejuvenate my game.

The action is really going to

pick up this week as all leagues will be in play and even the Little Rocks and Junior programs will have started as you read your Mercury on Thursday. Interclub action also begins as the senior Men host the first round of the Low Cup on Wednesday.

As mentioned last week, if you still want to join the club this year it is not too late to do so. This is especially true of our Little Rock and junior program running on Thursdays after school, costing $50 and featuring a number of new organizers.

The junior program is also well suited to any of our high schoolers that are hoping to curl for their schools in county events. Many provincial champions have come from our club and we are hoping to have a number of them as guest instructors.

There are also elementary school provincials that have seen similar success. Make sure you don’t miss another season of curling, especially with the number of options you have available to you.

by UOVGG membership chair Karine Akre and chair Don Barrington during the general meeting of Heritage Renfrew at the Renfrew Archives.

The award is in recognition of the Lorentes’ outstanding contribution to the study of Genealogy throughout Canada and for their assistance to thousands of Canadians who can trace their ancestry to a British Home Child.

The Lorentes also received a scroll of appreciation from Mayor Sandi Heins on behalf of the people of Renfrew.

Lorente became interested in Home Children when he discovered that his father was a Home Child.

David Lorente was born in 1928, but not

until 1990, while researching his dad’s story, did he find proof that Joe Lorente, who spent most of his life in Canada without a birth certificate or baptismal record, was a Home Boy. Joe Lorente died in 1965.

“Like virtually all immigrants, my dad seldom talked of his past. It seemed, in those days, that if you were a Home Child, you were somehow tainted,” Lorente said.

The Lorentes founded Home Children Canada, and have worked tirelessly over the years promoting and researching the lives of Home Children who were sent to Canada and Australia.

The retired Renfrew Collegiate Institute teacher lectured at many events locally, across Canada and in the United States, as well as many trips to England.

Lorente has connected many Home Children to their families. “It feels nice,” Lorente said of the honour bestowed he and his wife by the UOVGG. “I wish my father was here. I’ve done nothing he wouldn’t

Methadone maintenance programs on agenda at legal clinic annual meeting Learn about Methadone Maintenance programs for people with drug addiction at the Renfrew County Legal Clinic’s Annual General Meeting.

The speaker is Dr. Jeff Daiter, Chief Medical Director of the Ontario Addiction Treatment Centres. The Centres are found all over Ontario, including Pembroke.

According to Dr. Daiter, methadone maintenance is the best option we have for treating addiction to the opioids, which include heroin and prescription painkillers like oxycontin.

“Methadone Maintenance Treatment Programs have been around since the 1940’s and represent one of the most effective means of treating dependency to

pain killers (opioids),” he says. “For every dollar spent by the government on methadone maintenance programs, the taxpayers of this province save $10 in terms of reducing the harms to society.”

“Methadone Maintenance Treatment Programs decrease victimization, criminalization, hospitalization and incarceration,” he adds.

Dr. Daiter will be speaking on Thursday, Oct. 28 from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Marguerite Centre Auditorium in Pembroke. Admission is free. Everyone is welcome. You do not have to be a member to attend.

The business meeting of the legal clinic will follow after a short break, from 8 to 9 p.m. Snacks and refreshments will be served.

RENFREW COUNTY

ELECTION

! r Christmas o f w o N y a Layaw lef t!

Different strokes from mayoral candidates STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

The Oct. 13 Renfrew all-candidates forum turned out to be somewhat of a boxing match for the three mayoral candidates.

Mayor Sandi Heins, who spoke first, gave her reasons for seeking a fifth term, how her family’s work ethic has contributed to the way she has served council, and her expected priorities for the next term.

What she says she didn’t expect was what mayoral candidate Bill Ringrose had to say.

He came out swinging, criticizing her leadership style and offering a better alternative, should he be elected mayor.

The third mayoral candidate, Callum Scott, had plenty of criticism for the town.

He’s a well-known critic of how council and town staff operate, as depicted by the platform issues posted on the building where he used to operate a bulk-bin business.

Heins began her address by saying it has been an “absolute pleasure” to represent the town in municipal politics before quickly talking about how council has been very honest and fair in negotiations with George Jackson Toyota, which this year balked at paying the $1.5 million security deposit to expand on property in the town’s east end. Toyota setting up new quarters in Horton Township.

Heins said council could not justify the business paying “zero” security deposit, at which Toyota owner Dave La Rocque, who was sitting in the audience, stood up and accused the mayor of slandering him. He later told the Mercury he offered $100,000 and another $50,000 to charity.

After order was restored, by moderator Jan Wilson, Heins said she has the energy, enthusiasm and desire to continue focusing on her duties. As mayor, she said she would again bring fairness, conviction, strength, dedication and the desire to “work positively and diligently” with council.

“I am a positive person willing to research, listen and learn,” she said.

“We need to create a positive community,” she added. “Who wants to come to a town where there’s discontent?”

Heins also stressed the importance of recruiting more family physicians to the area, and how residents could look forward to a special announcement Oct. 18.

The next mayoral candidate to speak, Ringrose, said he felt uncomfortable about Heins’ leadership style. He said his speech was about the future and “sharing the workload rather than doing it all by oneself,” and “improving people relationships rather than creating conflicts.”

He also wondered if people in the audience knew the town has had recent problems with a town-owned industrial site, seven years of legal battles with a local resident, and a recent incident with a major plant (which he later said was the waste-water treatment plant). For each of those issues, Ringrose said council went in-camera under the mayor’s leadership.

“I propose the next council will rarely go in-camera,” said Ringrose, even if legislation gives various reasons why coun-

cil can, but isn’t required to, go behind close doors.

He also said the mayor sits on far too many committees, a behaviour he said suggests one cannot delegate and must be the centre of everything.

As mayor, he said he would refrain from sitting on many committees, to avoid overshadowing others. “That does not mean I will not have a strong relationship with committee chairs and staff,” insisted Ringrose.

He also accused Heins of preventing councillors from bringing certain issues forward to council. “That will change,” he promised, noting all councillors should play contributing roles.

“Some people say she is doing a good job, isn’t she? The truth is, she isn’t, and it’s getting worse,” he said.

Ringrose went on to speak about the importance of realizing the master recreation plan priorities of the pool and second ice pad. Application for government funding should be quickly pursued to allow a new facility to be built. His preference is a facility that houses both a pool and second ice pad.

Toward the end of his speech, Ringrose briefly referred to mayoral candidate Callum Scott. For one who professes financial prudence, Scott should have some idea how much time and cost is involved to answer several hundred letters Scott has sent to town staff in recent years, said Ringrose.

Scott brought his roll of letters, but said he ran out of time to display it. In opening remarks, Scott referred to Ringrose’s own comments, published in the Renfrew Mercury in April 2010, about the dysfunctional seven, a reference to the current seven-member town council.

Scott also said he was seeking to become mayor and fill that position in a fulltime capacity while helping to erase some of that dysfunctional behaviour.

With that goal in mind, he turned to George Jackson Toyota owners Warren and Dave La Rocque and apologized to them for how council has dealt with the local dealership and how he wants to help mend broken fences.

As for building a pool, please don’t, or face the inevitability of high operating costs for years to come, pleaded Scott.

“There is absolutely no way the pool should be built …..” said Scott, who cited his knowledge of high pool expenses after working for the City of Toronto.

Written questions from the crowd included one about the meaning of leadership. Scott said that includes the ability to spend less and having a good sense of the value of a dollar. That partly means, he added, not building a swimming pool.

Heins said leadership included the ability to use council experience to deal with “really, really difficult issues,” and to make decisions and move on.

“True leadership,” said Ringrose, “is not a stance and a position, and getting everyone to agree … A lot of leadership is behind the scenes trying to make it work..”

After the forum, Heins said it was unfortunate Mr. Ringrose sat the last few years with her on council without bringing these concerns to her attention.

During September students worked at waste disposal sites in Admaston-Bromley to encourage recycling. They also entered residents in a draw for prizes. Seen with those prizes are, from left, student Greg Turcotte, road superintendent Chris Kunopaski, township treasurer Annette Louis and student Christy Heiderman. The winner of the firstplace prize of a tumbler composter was Pat Cull. Second-place winner of a blue box, can crusher and kitchen composter was Misha Wren. And the third-place prize of a blue box and RRR-rated T-shirt was Tim Cram.

Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe congratulated the students on all the great comments she heard from the public. “That’s the kind of ambassadorship that means so much to us,” she told the students. She called the need to recycle “a serious, serious issue.” Mercury photo by Lucy Hass

In someone else’s shoes REBEKA BORSHEVSKY rborshevsky@metroland.com

To be in someone else’s shoes.

What’s it like?

That’s the million-dollar question in a co-op class. As part of my placement at the Mercury, I’ve searched for the answer through exploring my fellow students’ placements. On Sept. 22, I tagged along with a friend to Queen Elizabeth Public School, where she works with a group of children with special needs.

My mission: to live the day of an educational assistant.

At her placement, my friend helps the children carry out a daily routine, encouraging them to practice writing out their name, saying words correctly, and appropriate social skills such as speaking politely to one another. They also have weather books; they find the calendar date, choose a colour representing the day’s weather, and fill it in. Healthy habits are built by frequent hand washing and teeth brushing.

To memorize days of the week and months of the year, they sing vibrant, catchy songs that even had me singing along. And I try my best not to sing in front of people.

I wasn’t sure how the children would take to me, being a stranger and all. But they gave me a warm welcome: one gave me a huge hug and the other practically dragged me into school with her! Another picked me to help her during the class. I was, to say the least, quite touched and honoured to have spent time with them and get to know their

class. One little girl even drew me a picture.

There is one thing I have to add. To be an educational assistant takes a lot of patience.

When something goes wrong and the child is frustrated, they can’t always tell you why. You have to be both gentle and firm if they get angry and thrash - you have to be understanding, yet make them understand that being physical is not the way to vent their frustration. I applaud the teachers as well as the students; without them, the students could not grow to the best they can be.

That goes for anyone, anywherewhether part of a special needs program or not. We all need our teachers.

So if you’re unsure what to do for a career, consider going into the field of special needs. There are multiple programs to enter at both college and university levels.

For me, the field of special needs holds a special place in my heart. Lots of people feel awkward around those with special needs; they don’t know how to act or what to say. So they don’t say or do anything at all. I used to be the same. But once you start working with them, hear their comments and feel their enthusiasm, all of that just melts away.

You realize that yes, they have needs that must be met that may differ from your own - but they are people; people that laugh and cry and need to learn, just like you. And that is what’s so wonderful about working with these children. You not only help them.

They change you.

Until next time.

What do treaties have to do with me? Weren’t they made hundreds of years ago? What are ‘land claims’ anyway, and what land do they cover here?

These are some of the questions a group of Renfrew and area residents hope will be answered soon. The Right Relations with Aboriginal People (RRAP) study group and Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church are sponsoring a day-long event on Saturday, Oct. 23 to learn about treaties in general, and also about the land claim negotiations currently underway between Ontario Algonquins, including those at Pikwakanagan First Nation (Golden Lake) and the federal and provincial governments.

Many people, both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, believe the settling of land claims is essential to unlocking economic opportunities for Aboriginal people. This in turn is expected to go a long way to deal with some of the legacies of past relationships between European Canadians

and Aboriginal people, including debilitating poverty, inadequate housing and clean water, despair, hopelessness, and teen suicides.

RRAP is a study group sponsored by Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church and now includes people from many denominations and the broader community. It sees listening to Aboriginal people and learning about the issues as a key way for the community at large to participate in resolving these legacies.

The group hosted a forum on Cultural Teachings featuring teachers from Pikwakanagan First Nation last winter, and in the spring showed the film Muffins for Granny, a moving and informative account about residential schools and their impact

by Aboriginal film-maker Nadia MacLaren. The workshop on land claims is the next step in the series. Hector McLeod, a negotiator for Canada and himself a Cree from Northern Manitoba, will present a workshop on “The Significance of Treaties in Aboriginal-Canada Relations” from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. The afternoon

session, beginning at 1 p.m., features Lynn Clouthier, a negotiator with the Algonquin First Nation, who will explain the details of the land claim that most

directly concerns those of us in Renfrew County. All are invited to come and learn and have your questions answered. (And no, you won’t have to give your land

back.) The cost is $5 for each session, with a light lunch provided at an additional cost of $5. To register, call 613-432-3295 or tsaoffice@bellnet.ca.

HERITAGE

1935: Permament platform constructed for CPR station in Renfrew OCTOBER 21, 1910 A DEVINE AND LEGREE ENLARGEMENT: The extent is which the eye has to be taken into account in good merchandising nowadays is fully recognized by Messrs. Devine and Legree. They have recently had some very attractive show window displays; and have made another move in the same end, of placing their goods so that the eye of customers will be attracted. That is by adding to their store space the single store to the south of them. That has now been thrown into the main store by a doorway, and fitted up with ample shelving, affords an excellent addition to their mercantile facilities.

SOLD FARM GOING WEST: Mr. A.W. Ross of Bromley, whose recent trip to the Pacific Coast was recounted in the columns of The Mercury, has made a sale of his farm to Mr. Allan Guest, a neighbour, who gave the tidy sum of $8,000 for the bare farm. Mr. Ross feels the desirability of residence in a milder climate than the Ottawa Valley, and meanwhile will spend some time in Western Ontario.

OLGA LEWIS FROM THE OLD FILES They have the use of a heavy roller, also other equipment which the CPR carries.

Many platforms all of wood have been in service at the CPR station since its erection a generation ago and now one of a permanent nature is being laid down.

AWARDED CONTRACT: Mr. James S. Dempsey of Renfrew has been awarded the contract by the Hydro Electric Power Commission for the extension of the pole line now teminating at Cobden to Beachburg. This will provide work for 49 or 50 men for a number of weeks. It was Mr. Dempsey who set up the poles a few months ago from the Renfrew golf links to Cobden. Twenty-three poles are used to the mile and about 700 will be required between the villages mentioned. Some of the poles come from the Dempsey farm This photo of an unidentified Renfrew team comes to us from Suzanne Lee of Fitzroy. If south of Calabogie. you know the names, please contact her at 613-623-4137.

PEEK INTO THE PAST

OCTOBER 24, 1935

OCTOBER 14, 1970

PERMANENT PLATFORM FOR CPR STATION: Crushed stone of varying degrees of fineness is arriving in Renfrew by rail from Sarks in Merrickville neighbourhood for the building of new platforms in connection with the CPR station. Workmen are making a nice job.

SCOOPED: We were caught again. We “co-operated” with the establishment – in this case the OPP, and left details of a story (the robbery) out of the paper. The next day the city dailies printed it all.

Nuts. We’ll hold back, if it’s in the public interest to do so, but next time anyone

asks, the reason needs to be a good one, along with a guarantee people won’t read it somewhere else first.

RENFREW GROWS LARGER: The Corporation of the Town of Renfrew will increase its boundaries by some 540 acres as of the first of January next year. A further increase of another 150 acres is

within site as well, once the route for the new Highway 417 has definitely been defined, and submitted to the Ontario Municipal Board. This second addition will then make the boundaries of the town adjacent to the new highway.

Continued from Page 41 It is designed to highlight the scope and strength of manufacturing in the region: from cleantech innovations to prefabricated building products, transportation, electronics, wood products, and many others.

Dr. Michel Jullian, CEO of

OCM Manufacturing and Chairman of EOMN described the week as an important economic development initiative: “There is a wealth of manufacturing success in eastern Ontario that often goes unnoticed, yet manufacturing accounts for approximately 38 per cent of Ontario’s GDP. The manufacturing community deserves to be recognized and promoted in its fullness. That’s

what the Manufacturing Week is all about.”

The Eastern Ontario Manufacturers Network (EOMN) is a notfor-profit organization dedicated to the success of manufacturing in eastern Ontario.

It is run by manufacturing executives, academic leaders and industrial professionals who are focused on the prosperity of all members.

STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

A decades-long tradition of service continues following the relocation of the Renfrew branch of Bluewave Energy.

The fuel-distribution company, which has more than 50 branches across Canada, includes the local branch that was located for years at 542 Lisgar Street, across from the town garage.

The new location is Gourley’s Variety & Gas Bar, at Hwy. 132

and South McNaughton Road.

The company began decades ago as White Rose under the ownership of Harry Crozier, then later became Kevin Crozier Fuels under the ownership of Crozier’s son, Kevin.

The company retained that name, after Kevin’s death, under the ownership of Joe and Sean Crozier.

Later the company was Thermo Shell, before becoming a franchise of Bluewave Energy.

The Renfrew-branch employ-

ees of Bluewave Energy are Joe Crozier, Sean Crozier and branch rep Laurie Stroud.

The new location at Gourley’s Variety & Gas Bar features a new building that houses office space and warehouse space.

The branch also provides Shell-brand motoroil lubricant packages to its residential and commercial customers.

Saturday prize winners were Lynn Hill, $200 in heating oil, and Claire Linde, 500 air miles points.

COME AND JOIN THE FUN!!!!!

married the lassy and his in-laws suggested he could grow organic grains for the store and make better profits than just selling the ordinary grains. He’s growing 40 or 50 acres organic and 800 acres of crops in total.

And he bought a herd of beef cattle, as that also fits in with his farming enterprise.

The magazine features a photo of the entrepreneur farmer standing beside his full line of large tractors and machinery. It puzzles me why many farmers work so hard growing crops that are usually down in price when ready to sell.

Is this young man working just to pay big equipment bills?

It would be interesting to know how much debt he’s carrying.

It reminds me of the story of a happy easy-going fisherman and a pushy businessman. A fisherman is relaxing under a tree and looking at the sunset.

A businessman is out for a walk trying to relieve some of the stress of his work. He badgers the fisherman for being lazy and says if he worked hard he could have fishing fleets and men working for him.

“You could spend all the rest of your days relaxing watching the sunset. You won’t have a care in the world!”

The fisherman, smiling, looked up and said, “And what do you think I’m doing right now?”

Election Results will be posted at The Cobden Agricultural Hall beginning at 8:00 p.m.

Farm equipment manufacturers love to tell successful farming stories in their publications and they often feature farmers using their brand of equipment.

The major manufacturers have their own magazine that they send to their clients. Some magazines come out bi-monthly and others come out three times a year – winter, summer and autumn.

There are write-ups about farmers and their families from anywhere in the world. African farmers tend small acreages and are poor.

North American farmers work large acreages and they have large red or green tractors and equipment. They’re rich. Or so it seems.

One equipment publication did an article on a southern Ontario farmer who grew up with non-farming parents.

As a boy, he grew up at the outskirts of a city and watched farmers at work in the fields.

When he was a teenager he worked after school, on Saturdays and holidays on a nearby farm. He loved it.

When he was 20, he rented a 40-acre field and grew soybeans.

Over the years he continued renting land and growing crops.

He purchased and rented equipment from a local equipment dealer.

The guy was doing quite a business. As luck would have it, he was able to court a young woman whose parents ran a small livestock farm and operated a store where they sold their organic beef and other farm produce. He

NATURE

Bald eagles and common ravens have an altercation

AMERICAN TREE SPARROW Bob O’Donnell saw an American

strike that causes the bird’s death but an encounter with a stray cat.

They fed the bird some small seed and Evelyn said she cut an apple into small slivers and the junco certainly liked that. It was only a short time before it recovered and was released.

It should be noted that dark-eyed juncos do not scratch when foraging for food and the females are greyish brown where the males are slate grey; immature birds resemble females.

JIM FERGUSON SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE tree sparrow during Thanksgiving weekend. It is the first reported to us this fall. This sparrow has a long journey before arriving at our feeders.

They arrive here from their Hudson Bay and James Bay breeding grounds in early to late October. They travel in flocks of eight or 10 birds The best field marks for this sparrow are a chestnut brown crown and eye stripe, a plain grey breast with a dark central breast spot.

They feed on the ground on niger seed, millet and bits of sunflower seed dropped by other birds. They hop along the ground in their search for food. This handsome sparrow will remain with us until April or May when they return to their nesting ground.

WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS Have you noticed flocks of whitethroated sparrows travelling with birds that have tan and brown stripes on their crowns and pale white throats?

The brown crowns are referred to as morphs.

White-throated sparrows come in two colour types. Some have black and white stripes on their crown and others tan and brown.

The males with white stripes are more aggressive and mate more often with both white striped females and tan striped females.

Both male and female white striped birds sing while the female tan striped birds do not.

To add to the confusion they sing at night. Their “I love Canada, Canada, Canada” song can be heard from the

AN INJURED JUNCO Bill and Evelyn McLaughlin called this week and they found an injured dark-eyed junco that had been hit by a car.

The bird did not seem to be severely injured and they took it home and placed it in a cardboard box out of harm’s way. Very often it is not the

time they arrive in the spring until they leave in the fall.

A POSSIBLE CAUSE There have been many inquiries about the low numbers of “blackbirds” this fall. We had one redwinged blackbird at our feeders this week. We normally have several hundred.

It seems that the cricket population, a major food source for red-wings, grackles and cowbirds, has been infected by an unknown fungus.

As a result, huge numbers of the insects have perished. Without the necessary food source the birds have moved on. We are hoping for more information on the topic soon.

Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road R R 5, Renfrew, Ontario K7V 3Z8 phone 613432-2738 or email jamesjh@nrtco.net.

Dennis Fridgen saw a mature bald eagle trying to capture a member of a small flock of common ravens this week. The eagle pursued the ravens from branch to branch through the trees attempting to get a meal.

These two species meet head on at any food source, usually a dead whitetailed deer. The ravens are first to find a carcass, then the wolves arrive, usually at night and then the eagles and ravens arrive to feed during the day.

When Dennis saw the birds the eagle may have been chasing the ravens away from the food but it is more likely that it was trying to catch the ravens.

Eagles are much more successful when their prey species is immobile in the water or on the ground than when both are in flight.

In Cape Britton, Ila and I watched a very peaceful scene with thousands of birds on the water resting and preening. In a flash they all took flight screaming and calling.

Overhead we saw the reason for their alarm calls; a bald eagle had arrived on the scene. When the eagle left the birds settled and continued resting and preening. They did not want to be on the water when the eagle attacked.

IN MEMORIAM

June 14, 1939 October 25, 1990 You can only have one mother; Patient, kind, and true.

No other friend in all the world; Will be so true to you; For all her loving kindness; She asks nothing in return; If all the world deserted me; To my mother I could turn.

To those who have a mother; Treasure her with care; For you never know her value; ‘Til you see her vacant chair.

To Those I Love and Those Who Loved Me When I am gone, release me, let me go...

I have so many things to see and do.

You must not tie yourself to me with tears; Be happy that we had so many years I gave to you my love, you can only guess, How much you gave to me in happiness.

I thank you for the love you each have shown, But now it’s time I travel on alone.

NATURE

SURPRISE HARVEST Every year Noreen Verch plants sweet potatoes on the balcony of her Raglan Street South apartment, enjoying the long, flowing vines. Sometimes the plants, which begin at only eight inches, even bear fingerling potatoes. But this year when she went to bring in her plants for the winter, she had trouble removing one plant from the pot. No wonder. Lodged inside the pot was this bumper harvest of massive sweet potatoes (below); a first for her and the talk of the apartment.

FALL DECORATING CONTEST The Admaston-Bromley Wards 3&4 recreation committee held its second annual fall decorating contest at the end of September. Though the weather was less than co-operative, the committee thanks all of the contestants for enduring the wet and damp conditions and sprucing up our township. “It was tough for the judges to decide this year’s winners – we even had a tie for third,” committee member Anegla Field reports. First place was won by Wanda and Andy Laviolette on Stone Road. Second place was awarded to Gayle McBride on Haley Road. Third place was a tie between Ken and Sharon MacMillan on Highway 60, and Jamie and Susy Campbell on Campbell Line. The committee adds: “A very special thank-you to this year’s sponsors – Gourley’s Variety (first place), Oak Grove Apiaries (second place), and Donden Farms and Stone Meadows Kitchen Shop (third place). “We look forward to seeing what designs everyone comes up with again next year,” says Field.

BUMPER CROP Renfrew resident Barbara Putrycz and her pet dog, Princess, display a couple of the many large tomatoes that have flourished in her front garden this year. She previously displayed geraniums in the front garden, but to her surprise she found no geraniums this year, but plants with nearly 50 tomatoes. She has kept the tomatoes covered by a blanket during October’s cool nights to prevent frost damage.
