MONEY that we can save you

A passionate plea from Renfrew County Warden Don Rathwell to the federal ministry of transportation and the local rail freight service review panel may create enough pause for thought to salvage the future of railway freight service in Renfrew County.

Or it may be just another unheard cry before the death of local railway service.

A letter dated Oct. 26 refers to the “looming abandonment of the CP railway section” from Mattawa to Smiths Falls and the fact most of that 104-mile (or 168kilometre) stretch of track runs mostly through Renfrew County.

Rathwell’s letter says the county is afraid Canadian Pacific and the panel “have not grasped how this abandonment will adversely affect freight service in Canada. Let us state clearly that it will immediately result in cost hardships for our woodprocessing industries and it will unquestionably discourage potential investors, who require bulk transport op-

tions, from locating in Renfrew County.”

The railway that in recent years has been called Ottawa Valley Railway was “the steel ribbon that brought Canada together” and that remains an essential communication, transportation and cultural corridor, writes Rathwell.

On Feb. 4, 2010 the Canadian Pacific Railway Company advertised its intention to sell its Chalk River subdivision from Smiths Falls to just north of Petawawa, or to discontinue operating the line if it is not transferred.

No buyers have come forward, therefore Canadian Pacific, as required by law, has offered its interest in the line to the Canadian government.

Early this week, neither MP Cheryl Gallant’s office nor Canadian Pacific spokesman Kevin Hrysak were aware of any available buyer.

There were two potential buyers a few months ago, said Hrysak, but those expressions did not result in completed offers of purchase.

The future of the Atomic Energy of Canada Limited facilities in Chalk River is very much up in the air.

It’s unclear if the federal government will eventually replace the present 50year-old NRU reactor, and/or sell AECL’s assets to the private sector.

The guesswork continues largely because the federal government remains largely silent on the matter.

However, former AECL vice-president Brian McGee says there’s good reason to believe the federal government will

With that in mind, McGee, a senior consultant with EnergySolutions Canada in Port Perry, Ont., says a new office will open in Chalk River by late November in efforts to increase the bidding Canadian company’s visibility with government officials and the community.

The office would actually be for CRNL (Chalk River Nuclear Laboratory) Partners, which is proposing to be the new company to oversee the restructuring.

Sweet, quick declaration for county warden STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

At least three county councillors have considered running for Renfrew County warden, but it appears former warden Petawawa Mayor Bob Sweet is in the driver’s seat.

At the late-September county council meeting Zig Mintha of Bonnechere Valley expressed his intention to run, if he was re-elected mayor. But he was not.

His upset loss to Jennifer Murphy left the door open for others to step forward.

Janice Visneskie of Killaloe, Hagarty & Richards was checking with county councillors about possible support, but didn’t follow through after learning Sweet had already solicited the support of several county councillors.

She was the warden in 2007 and 2008, while Don Rathwell has been the warden for 2009 and 2010.

A motion nominating Sweet for warden was given to county CAO Jim Hutton the morning of the Wednesday, Oct. 27 county council meeting.

The nomination by Peter Emon of Greater Madawaska was seconded

by Raye-Anne Briscoe of AdmastonBromley. “I had given Bob my word if he was expressing interest in becoming warden again I’d support him,” said Emon.

Sweet emphasized the point, in speaking to The Mercury, that he would not have sought his return to the position he held in 2004, 2005 and 2006 if Mintha had been reelected.

“There was an opportunity there, as a result of what happened in Bonnechere Valley. Since I’ve been approached by county councillors and the support is extremely strong, I’d like to take the warden’s job for at least another year.”

Sweet, 67, retired from the tire and automotive business in 2000 while continuing his involvement in municipal politics. He was a Petawawa councillor from 1988 to 2000. He has been the Petawawa mayor since 2000.

Many county councillors say Sweet was an outstanding warden who pushed forward critical issues, including tax reform and broadband communication.

This time, Sweet says there are critical economic issues facing the county, but that he’d also like to be the warden

because of Expo 150.

The county’s 150th-anniversary celebration take place in June, 2011.

“2011 is a very big year, with Expo coming and a lot of special people coming from far and wide,” said Sweet.

“And I’m looking forward to being the representative if I’m fortunate enough to become the warden.

“I think (Expo 150) is an opportunity to showcase everything, from the past and present and hopefully going into the future … It’s an opportunity to celebrate the things that are really, really special about our community.”

Emon says Sweet’s the county councillor for the job, partly because of his forward-thinking actions.

Those include the move to start hosting property and development committee meetings around the county in 2007, and Sweet’s membership on the municipal-provincial fiscal review panel that resulted in the upload of some expensive municipal services to the Province.

The inaugural meeting, for the new warden and new members of county council, will take place Dec. 21. Nomi- Bob Sweet is after the job of Renfrew County warnations for warden close the afternoon den. He is the only county councillor to hold the posiof Dec. 1. tion for three terms, in 2004, 2005 and 2006.

Guest speakers focus on Canadian solutions for AECL’s future Continued from Page 2 CRNL Partners is comprised of EnergySolutions Canada, Wardrop, amec, Kinectrics and SNC-Lavalin O&M. The same company has also partnered with Canada’s leading nuclear science universities and named three exclusive subcontractors, including GE Hitachi.

“I’m really excited that they’re a strong, viable Canadian option for operating AECL under restructuring,” said Deep River Mayor Aikens after hearing presentations at the Oct. 27 council meeting.

The presentations came from McGee and Paul Acchione, chairman for the Ontario Soci-

Only at The New

ety of Professional Engineers (OSEP) energy task force regarding AECL restructuring.

County councillor John Hildebrandt of Madawaska Valley wondered why the federal government hasn’t told county council, and Canadians at large, what it plans to do with AECL. The federal Minister of Natural Resources Christian Paradis was invited to speak at the Oct. 27 session in a Sept. 29 letter.

County council checked with Paradis the week before, but still didn’t have an answer. Paradis’s office called the morning of the meeting to say he would be unable to attend.

Restructuring of AECL, if

done improperly, will have severe ramifications for the industry, said McGee, especially if the successful bidder is not Canadian.

Under the structure being recommended by EnergySolutions, the restructuring would mean the federal government owns the Chalk River Lab and its intellectual properties, while management would be contracted out to a partnership of businesses.

The essential strategy would be to establish a multi-program, world-class energy, science and technology national lab.

Benefits to the Canadian nuclear industry, said McGee, would include assured research

and development capability to support the existing CANDU reactor fleet; maintained and renewal lab assets; collaboration with Canadian universities (with on-site study facilities); and Canadian participation in the global nuclear renaissance.

Other benefits under CRNL, said McGee, would include reduced financial burden on the federal government, committed and highly paid workers who don’t feel they have to look elsewhere for work, and the creation of new commercial businesses.

In his presentation, the energy task force chairman for the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers said the “restructur-

ing of AECL will have a major impact on the nuclear industry in Canada.

But the federal government has to act in timely fashion, or risk leaving AECL and the Canadian nuclear industry to play catch-up., he said.

Acchione indicated there are about 50 nuclear reactors being built around the world, and many more in the planning stages.

But Acchione pointed out: “Canada is … not participating in this renaissance because of the uncertainty of AECL’s future and the perceived lack of support for AECL by the government of Canada.”

Mayor lashes out at vicious rumours Thank you STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Horton Mayor Bob Johnston, who did not run in the recent municipal election, offered a plateful of compliments, including several references to the appreciated services of non-council residents serving on committees.

His remarks came in his farewell speech at Horton council’s meeting Tuesday.

But he left the most critical for last.

An emotional and nearly tearful Johnston lashed out at what he called vicious rumour-mongering during the recent municipal election campaign at the expense of mayor candidate and veteran council member Dave Bennett.

Bennett lost the three-man race for mayor to fellow council member Don Eady 847 to 447, with Rod Ballantyne third at 344.

Mayor-elect Eady will not assume his new position until December.

Bennett was not present at Tuesday’s council meeting. Johnston, who says he did not show the contents of the speech to Bennett, did tell Bennett he was going to go to bat for his longtime friend and colleague.

Johnston made no actual reference to Bennett’s name until the last three paragraphs of his seven-page speech, but began that section of the speech by saying, as retiring mayor of the township, that he felt he must make “a statement of facts” concerning a Horton councillor.

“First of all, this individual is being severely questioned on his credibility, integrity and honesty as a businessman in this community. Secondly, if any of this malicious gossip was in any way factual, then the integrity of the present council and staff would be questioned as to their required duty as representatives of you, the electorate.

“As mayor of the present council, I will not stand by and fail to bring out the absolute truth.”

Johnston went on to say: “I can assure you that this council did not in any way direct any tendered contracts

Mayor Bob Johnston had many compliments, but also some serious criticisms, to offer in his farewell speech. to this individual” and that this “man and his business are valued members of Horton Township and surrounding communities. Throughout his many years of dedicated service on council, he has given thousands of dollars of ‘in-kind’ services to the Township of Horton.”

Johnston proceeded to say Bennett had saved the township many thousands of taxpayer dollars by bidding as low as he did on several contracts, including a $79,422 bid on the Thompson Road culvert replacement project, to save Horton $8,453; and his tender that was $41,405 lower than the second tender of $101,964 for the hockey rink project.

The mayor then listed six examples of Bennett’s in-kind contributions to the township, including paid hours to his employees (at Marshall’s) for setting up the tent for the annual Remembrance Day service and providing the bounce castle at the Canada Day breakfast for no charge.

He offered more details about Bennett’s involvement in the province’s pilot septage program.

“He, again, stepped forward, providing many, many hours of research and engineering necessary for council to complete this project. Yes, we did go over budget due to underfunding, and yes, this man’s company did receive out-of-pocket expenses of $11,649.34 over a three-year period for work that was necessary under the confirmed entry employment regulations for working inside the enclosed (treatment) tanks, as well as reimbursement for equipment that he purchased on behalf of the township on his personal account.

“He also supplied hundreds of hours of heavy equipment rental for only the supply of diesel fuel, which was operated by Horton employees.

No charge.”

As a lifetime resident and volunteer of Horton Township, Johnston said he would “not stand by and see this man and his valued employees being questioned as to their honesty and integrity. They have been a valued asset to the community.”

To those spreading false rumours about Bennett, Johnston concluded: “I hope these individuals are able to live with their conscience.”

After the speech, Johnston said he was not pointing fingers at mayor candidate Eady.

“I don’t know where the rumours are coming from,” Eady told The Mercury.

Eady also indicated that when his election campaign began, he told his 20 or so campaign workers gossip would not be tolerated.

“I told them I wanted to run a squeaky-clean campaign, and I believe we did.” he said.

Johnston wouldn’t be specific about the sources of the gossip, but that the “grapevine has told me a lot. I don’t want to mention names ... I just feel really, really bad that ... his integrity and honesty has been questioned.”

With the speech, Johnston said he wanted to state what Bennett has done for the community.

“I know he’s hurt and I know he’s hurt big time,” said Johnston.

Home-based Castleford Road business gets reprieve STEVE NEWMAN

steve.newman@metroland.com

Horton council has cut Harold Deacon’s home-based auto services business some slack, but only just.

In the estimation of Horton council members, Deacon had not lived up to all of his site-plan promises while facing several deadlines over the past two years.

On Oct. 5, council voted not to approve his site-plan agreement.

However, Deacon proceeded to complete the remaining component of the site-plan agreement, which was an enclosure for a refuse bin. That resulted in the site plan being passed at a special meeting Oct. 19. Council members voted 3-2 in favour of the site plan.

Coun. Bob Kingsbury, who voted against the site plan Oct. 5, was op-

posed again. Deputy Mayor Bob Hall, who was not present for the Oct. 5 vote, was also opposed.

In support were Mayor Bob Johnston and councillors Dave Bennett and Don Eady.

Following the vote, Bennett indicated council retains site-plan control, therefore the authority to shut down the business if site-plan conditions are not upheld. These include a restricted number of cars on the property at one time and the number of hours that the garage doors can be open for business at 1256 Castleford Road.

“We had concerns from residents of the situation because it is at a very busy intersection,” Bennett told The Mercury.

With approval of the site plan, Bennett said he hopes council has addressed the concerns of local resi-

dents. Bennett admitted council made mistakes in trying to define the homebased business.

“It’s been frustrating, and we know now we have to look closely at all building applications to decide if they suit designations,” said Bennett.

Kingsbury was unapologetic in opposing approval of the site plan.

“Number one, I don’t think it’s the end,” he said. “It’s just the beginning because we’re going to have to have the bylaw officer down there to enforce it. It’s going to be a drain on taxpayers’ dollars.”

At the Oct. 19 meeting, Kingsbury told Deacon he had a golden opportunity to prove him wrong, by keeping site-plan requirements in working order.

The township’s bylaw enforcement officer is Dennis Fridgen.

Pair in the Renfrew Fair spotlight steve.newman@metroland.com

Long-time volunteers Sara Campbell and John Humphries of Renfrew stole the spotlight in the Renfrew Agricultural Society’s season-ending banquet at the armouries.

Campbell, a tireless volunteer for 4-H club and Renfrew Fair activities, received the Renfrew South District Women’s institute Women of Excellence Fair Award.

And Humphries, who stepped down this year after 18 years with the Renfrew Fair gate committee, accepted the Renfrew Fair board’s Meritorious Service Award.

Campbell, now in her 80s, accepted her award from Irene Robillard as husband Jack, children Lynn Clelland and Ruth Quast, and other family members looked on at the banquet Oct. 23.

The award has been awarded each of the last four years in recognition of a member who had made a significant contribution to her local fair.

A veteran supporter of those fairs, Campbell often entered in the women’s institute and open classes with her jams, jellies and marmalades.

While she had a grand reputation for her edible goods, she was also a volunteer guard at the exhibit hall and looked after the women’s institute finances.

“The many years of pressing white cloths for the background

of the women’s institute display, the many years of bringing handiwork, flowers, baking and sewing to the fairground, has kept these traditions alive,” said Robillard.

Campbell, who grew up in Admaston-Bromley and now lives in Renfrew, pronounced herself “very proud” to receive the award.

She also pointed out that a lot of other people could have won it.

“For mom and dad it was always a big deal to take the family to the fair, right from the time we were little kids,” recalls daughter Lynn.

She remembers the dozens of tea biscuits in family freezer, following efforts to find four matching biscuits for a 4-H entry in the fair.

Humphries, in accepting his award, is the third family member to display exemplary service for the Renfrew Fair.

His grandfather, Lorne, was a fair board vice-president in 1953, while his dad, William Lorne, was president and served about 50 years on the board.

The third member of the triumvirate “has served us faithfully and well,” said 2010 fair board president Dennis Briscoe, Well, maybe not entirely faithfully, admits Humphries. He remembers one day when hundreds of people snuck through an opening in the back fence, before Humphries got it repaired by the next day.

Renfrew County clients get more rides to medical appointments A non-urgent medical transportation program, coordinated

by Carefor Health and Community Services in Pembroke, has recently expanded to reach more people.

Transportation is now being provided in Renfrew County from Deep River to Arnprior, from Barry’s Bay, Eganville, Petawawa, Cobden and all parts between.

Now with four vans, the program relies on four paid drivers and 42 volunteer drivers.

The program has two main

aims: improving access to health care for rural residents and allowing ambulances to focus on more urgent transportation needs.

The Champlain Local Health Integration Network is a major funder, most recently purchasing the fourth van.

The service serves many populations. It provides transportation to day programs and dialysis, for example. It also serves hospitalized patients needing drives to medical appointments off-premises at another hospi-

tal or in a different community, including MRI scans, specialist visits, post-surgery check-ups and chemotherapy.

Carefor also coordinates the Going Home program, targeting seniors over 65 and offering a drive from hospital to home,

trips to medical appointments, delivery of frozen meals, and homemaking services for a period of 10 days after discharge.

Continued from front “I don’t think there’s been any (recent) movement at the federal level,” said Hrysak.

An expression of interest, however, could include an expression “for any operations they want,” he said.

The first of four 30-day ‘offers of interest’ periods ends Friday this week.

The next 30-day period is for the Ontario government, which would have until Dec. 6, 2010 to provide written acceptance to Canadian Pacific.

If that deadline passes by 5 p.m. on Dec. 6, 2010, the offer to acquire the line will be in the hands of the urban transit authority (the City of Ottawa) through whose territory part of the railway line passes.

The city would have until Jan. 5, 2011 to make, or find, a purchase of the railway line.

If that period passes, the County of Renfrew would have until early February to buy the railway or find a buyer.

After that, Canadian Pacific would be in position to start discontinuing or salvaging the railway, said Hrysak. That would likely mean ripping up the railway and selling the line’s wood, steel and/or other equipment.

An estimated price tag of about $90 million for the railway makes it almost virtually certain the county won’t be a buyer, according to Petawawa mayor and county councillor Bob Sweet.

“We don’t have the resources.

Plus, it’s not one of our core responsibilities,” said Sweet.

“We’re almost getting drawn into this by default.”

Without adequate transportation for industry, industry isn’t going to come to the market, he added.

That could change if the extension of Highway 417 through the county happens in the shortterm, says Sweet. But that possibility seems remote, seeing that Hwy. 417 has only come as far as Arnprior, where a major bridge and four-laning is being built.

So, the clock is ticking, as county officials hope Warden

Rathwell’s letter offers some motivation for a buyer.

In his letter, Rathwell listed seven “significant” reasons for saving the railway, including: 1. the lack of municipal finances to operate a railway; 2. the need for rail transportation to support reinvestment and growth in the forestry and mining sectors; 3.

Canadian Forces Base Petawawa’s need of the line to deploy large amounts of equipment; and 4. Atomic Energy of Canada Limited’s use of the railway to securely and safely transport radioactive and related equipment.

Rathwell’s letter asks Minister Merrifield and the review panel “to allow additional time for discussion and for government consideration of management options for the OVR.” Rathwell also suggested the federal and provincial governments jointly develop a solution to maintain the OVR section of the Canadian Pacific line, perhaps modelled on the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission.

In conclusion Rathwell said the corridor has been paid for by the people of Ontario and Canada and by corporate Canada “over more than a century and it is our duty to preserve this invaluable investment.”

Meanwhile, the local New Democrat riding association has passed a resolution calling on the federal government to purchase the railway line running through the county.

“The time for talk is over, this vital community asset is on life support,” said local riding president Susan McSheffrey of Renfrew in a news release.

“All the federal government has to do is buy the line at net salvage value. There would be no risk as the right of way is a valuable transportation corridor and, if necessary, the rails can be sold for scrap at a profit.

“With light rail networks all over the country and two heavy users of the existing line, in AECL and Base Petawawa, there should be no question about the need for this railway,” McSheffrey said.

Admaston-Bromley shows off new digs STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

The public had a chance to visit Admaston-Bromley’s expanded municipal office on Canada Day, but the township offered a follow-up opportunity Oct. 22.

The municipal office has a decidedly new look in its first major expansion in several years.

Federal and provincial infrastructure funds of $104,000 each, and the municipality’s commitment to contribute at least $104,000, made the expansion possible. The municipal office space has jumped from 755 to 1,280 square feet.

The project’s estimated total value was $312,000, but ended up costing $394,163, that left the township to pay $186,163.

Construction started in September 2009 and staff moved into their new quarters by late March 2010.

The township knew the project would be over budget when the accepted construction tender was $359,000.

Engineering costs of $28,000 and extra construction for a sidewalk elevated the overall price.

Clerk-treasurer Bev Briscoe, who has worked at the township

Meet the full-time employees during Admaston-Bromley’s new municipal headquarters open house Friday (Oct. 22). Seated administrative assistant Sharon Schruder is joined by clerk-treasurer Bev Briscoe, left, and treasurer-deputy clerk Annette Louis. Missing is part-time staff member Erica Rice. Mercury photo by Steve Newman for more than 30 years, recalls just how little space staff had to work with several years ago.

Back in the mid-1970s she remembers council meetings being held at a chrome table behind the front counter.

Now Briscoe, treasurer-deputy clerk Annette Louis, administrative assistant Sharon Schruder and the mayor each have spacious offices. A few months ago they were all work-

ing within the same restricted office space. Even better, there’s also privacy for township residents who wish to go behind closed doors to discuss financial or other matters.

The new municipal office also features a large storage room.

No longer must staff store some goods in the kitchen. The expansion did not alter the council chambers or roads superintendent Chris Kunopaski’s office.

Lapointe Auto Group sponsors County Idol Do you want a chance to win up to $1,000? Are you the best singer in Renfrew County?

The organizing committee of Renfrew County Idol announces that the Lapointe Auto Group has signed on as the official sponsor of this county-wide event.

Jimmy Lapointe invites all residents of the County of Renfrew to step up to the microphone and join the county-wide competition to see who will emerge as the Renfrew County Idol.

Renfrew County Idol is part of the Expo 150 Celebrations June 9 to 12, 2011 at the Pembroke Regional Airport.

Renfrew County Idol will have three age categories and have both cash prizes and big-ticket items for the winners. Whether you are 10 years or 100, Renfrew County Idol is your chance to show everyone just how talented you are.

Admaston-Bromley Mayor Raye Anne Briscoe, chair of the Renfrew County Idol Committee, is very excited about the upcoming talent contest.

“With Lapointe Auto Group as our official sponsor, the residents of the County of Renfrew not only have an opportunity to showcase their singing ability, but they have a chance to win up to $1,000 if they win the contest.

“Our judges will be travelling

to seven communities beginning in January 2011 and with three age categories, there are plenty of prizes and chances for everyone to get involved,” she said.

The preliminary competitions will take place in Arnprior, Renfrew, Eganville, Barry’s Bay, Pembroke, Petawawa and Deep River. There is a formal application available on-line, and all contestants will be required to pre-register to take part in the competition. The competition begins in January 2011, and the rules and regulations are all contained in the information package. MYFM Radio, STAR 96FM and Valley Heritage Radio are partnering with the Renfrew County Idol Committee to help promote this unique event, and all will be live on location during the Finals scheduled for the weekend of June 10-12, 2011 at the Expo 150 main stage.

For your chance to take part in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, visit the Expo 150 website and download an application and register for the preliminary competition in a community near you. There are also applications available at any Lapointe Auto Group location in Pembroke and Renfrew.

OPINION LETTER TO THE EDITOR

EDITORIAL

Safety a must

Pool points clarified

is an important H unting activity in Canada’s ru-

ral and native communities.

With the fall deer hunt upon us, hunters are reminded to exercise caution at all times.

Unload your guns when you leave the field or the forest, and place a trigger lock on the unloaded weapon before bringing it home after a hunt. Muzzleloaders can be kept loaded when being transported between hunting sites but the firing cap or flint must be removed.

The Canada Safety Council reminds hunters to lock all guns in a sturdy container that doesn’t let anyone see what is inside. If you must leave your vehicle unattended while there are guns in it, lock them up in the trunk or in a similar lockable compartment. If the vehicle has no trunk or lockable compartment, put the firearms (in their containers) out of sight inside the vehicle and lock it up.

Always put safety first.

COLUMN

From field to table: the fall hunt a timeless tradition The fall hunt opened Monday and businesses across the region are feeling the impact.

Some face a scheduling nightmare with a rush of holiday requests and, dare we suggest, sudden sick days.

Others businesses, like grocery stores, revel in the chime of the cashier as hunting parties load their grocery carts to fill the cupboards at the cabin.

Traditionally, women pitched in with cardboard boxes full of homemade lemon meringue pies, baked beans and best wishes.

But more and more women are hitting the backwoods, for a more active role in the annual hunt. And from all reports, with considerable success.

Regardless of who is filling the freezer, the hunt remains an important part of life in Renfrew County.

And according to the Ministry of Natural Resources, this should be

LUCY HASS MISCELLANY a good year for avid sportsmen and sportswomen.

An article in the Ontario Out of Doors 2010 hunting forecast, published by the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH), suggests a good hunt.

“Moose might get the prestige, but deer are what fill many of our freezers. This fall’s hunt looks good,” says the article by big game editor Drew Myers and UplandGame editor Steve Galea.

Southern region acting regional biologist Scott Smithers adds “Ontario’s deer hunters have shown that hunting is an effective management tool to keep deer at sustainable levels.”

And according to Dave Reid

of the OFAH, “Hunters should expect to encounter more fawns, fatter does, and bigger bucks this fall than they have in the last two years.”

A chart in that same Out of Doors magazine identifies good and increasing deer populations in Pembroke Unit 59 and fair and increasing populations in Pembroke Unit 58.

Studies show most people find hunting an acceptable activity in Ontario. And Bill 135, the province’s Heritage Hunting and Fishing Act, supports hunting as an important wildlife management tool, and part of the province’s cultural heritage.

Living in rural Renfrew County, it’s hard to imagine the changing of the seasons without all that blaze orange, camouflage and camaraderie.

Good luck to hunters across the region, and stay safe.

To the editor: The Second Ice Pad’s letter to the editor (Oct. 7) contains inaccurate misleading statements that need clarification.

The Ice Pad’s statement, “the plan presented by council over three decades ago called for the construction of a full-service recreation complex with a pool and two ice pads” is incorrect. A second ice pad was never a part of the 1985 plan.

In 1985, an Arena/Pool Management Committee was authorized on behalf of town council to coordinate the arena/pool project with regards to financing, design and construction.

The pool at the time was identified as the top priority in the community, ahead of a new arena.

In 1987, Mayor Green and council changed the original plan and proceeded to build a new arena and community hall as Phase I of the project and postpone the pool construction to Phase II for completion as part of the next council’s mandate.

No action has ever been taken on Phase II because Council has always found other projects when budgeting the town’s annual debenture position.

The Ice Pad’s other statement, “a second ice pad will offset future operating deficits of a pool and the existing pad” is questionable and improbable. A valid cost analysis to support this statement would be essential and recommended.

In 2007, at the request of Mayor Heins, the Second Ice Pad and Pool Committee (MACC) spent approximately six months meeting without success to reach some common ground. The key obstruction appeared to be the priority of construction – which facility (pool or ice pad) should be

built first in the event of insufficient funds being available to build both at the same time.

The recreation master plan recently completed, at a cost of $66,000 to Renfrew taxpayers, clearly indicated, “the existing demand for a new indoor pool in Renfrew is clear and compelling” and “that the majority of the town residents support a minimum of one per cent tax increase to help pay for a new recreation facility.”

It is further recommended that “a new indoor pool should be Renfrew’s highest priority future recreational facility. A large majority (78 per cent) of the respondents in the 2009 public survey favoured investing in an indoor swimming pool.” This figure is consistent with the four other surveys conducted over the past several years.

Undoubtably, any new facility will require federal and provincial grants, town debentures and community fund raising. The debenturing cost of a joint project would delay the whole process. The pool could be constructed in a reasonable period of time followed by a second ice pad at a later date. We are in a recession with low interest rates and material costs. These both will escalate as we recover from this economic cycle.

The facts are in, and after 25 years of inaction and debate, it’s time for the new council to move forward with a plan to provide this first recreational priority.

Doing fine job

To the editor: I read with interest S. McCormack’s disjointed letter regarding Canada’s rejection by the UN to sit on the Security Council.

As a retired former employee of a defense contractor, let us first examine the former Liberal government’s conflagration of bad policies, their track record on our military and the laughing stock it has made Canada in the eyes of the NATO and the UN and our ability as a military influence: • the purchase of six decommissioned submarines from England, you remember the submarines “that would not submerge.”

The hundreds of millions spent in attempting to get these leaky tin cans to actually work; • the Liberals contract award to replace the Sea-King helicopters only to cancel said contract and pay a penalty equal to the amounts of the contract, over a billion and some dollars, for which we received nothing; • The Liberal government sending our troops to Afghanistan, with green uniforms to fight in the desert. They should have gone all the way and painted a red bull’s eye on the backs of our troops … and then they refused a U.S. offer to supply desert camouflage; • Have we forgotten the Liberal Ad Scam and the billions spent on personal gain? Money that could have been used to improve our military’s capability.

There is little the world has watched and laughed out loud at these inane tactics and you wonder why they question our mental judgment to sit on the Security Council with giants like the U.S.A., Russia, China, England, Germany and yes, even France.

I applaud the current government’s non-green approach, especially when the self-professed leader of the global warming debacle, the lawyer Al Gore and his junk scientists, readily admitted to the World Conference on Global Warming that they falsified their data.

As for the long gun registry, after a billion dollars has been spent not one life has been saved as a result. We should be concentrating on illegal hand guns and assault rifles. More people have been killed with knives during this long gun registration period.

Maybe we should register all our knives including table knives.

As to Mr. McCormack’s disdain for our current MP, she has initiated and effected more damage control caused by the Liberals to improve our militaries housing; wages; equipment and living conditions for the spouses of the troops. You remember, the spouses that had to use the food bank in order to live while their other half is fighting for our freedom?

Of course she is in bed with the Conservatives. She is one and doing a damn fine job.

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Independent federal members of parliament not team players

To the editor: Re: Your letter from one Adam Lesco entitled Setting The Record Straight.

Mr. Lesco proudly trumpets his graduation in political science deeming himself an expert in Canadian legislative processes.

His low level of knowledge of what occurs on Parliament Hill is inadmissible for a political science graduate. So let us set the record straight.

Mr. Lesco does not understand that Parliament exists to provide opportunities for persuasion.

The practical application of the House of Commons rules gives few possibilities for independents to influence and persuade.

Independents are loners, not team players. Parliamentary practices give them little opportunity to persuade. They are not welcome on anyone’s team; they cannot be trusted.

Examine their community, business, and professional activities, before entering Parliament to see that their egocentrism dominates their own decisionmaking. Most cannot get a party nomination. How can they expect to persuade fellow parlia-

mentarians or represent their constituents? Independents are impotent pariahs in a pool of persuasion activity.

Exceptional MPs shine in their own caucus gaining support from fellow team members, becoming heavy-hitters, highlighting their constituencies.

Contrary to Mr. Lesco’s “faux” erudition, parliamentary history reveals no name of any independent MP with more than a few moments of fame.

Team effort changes public policy, not “wilderness” independents. The independent is a non-entity beyond his/her narrow circle of friends and admirers.

Mr. Lesco should learn how often independents get to speak in the Commons question period (seldom), and where an independent’s research request falls on the Library of Parliament waiting list. Library researchers regard the independent as a “bottom feeder” in the parliamentary tank.

Why do research enthusiastically for an independent who never has any influence (researchers don’t, and admit it in private). He will find how often

an independent MP gets to sit on a committee of the Commons (almost never).

The independent seldom questions government decisions, or witnesses before a committee, or persuades others. The rules do not provide for it. Does the taxpayer get value for approximately $300,000 spent on an independent MP and staff ?

To serve one’s constituents as well as possible, one needs to be a focused and determined team player, respected by fellow caucus members and by representatives of other political parties.

One also needs to be a truly superb networker. That kind of leadership from MPs puts the constituency on the map. That is what produces jobs, economic development and prosperity for one’s constituents.

After his research, Mr. Lesco may have a “bright-light moment”.

In the meantime I hope that would-be politicos like Mr. Walsh, whom Mr. Lesco mentions in his letter, and whom Mr. Lesco gratuitously seeks to educate, will view any political science lessons from Mr. Lesco with considerable skepticism.

And, as for the voters, they would be very wise to consider the consequences before they waste their votes on an impotent independent candidate.

Victoria’s Quilts made for comfort peter.clark@metroland.com

Victoria’s Quilts was first established in California in April of 1998 by Deborah Rogers in the name of her sister-in-law, Victoria Ann Morrison. Victoria was a wife, mother, grandmother, best friend and cancer patient.

She was also a quilter who called her quilts ‘Love Blankets’. Those love blankets gave her comfort during chemotherapy Victoria’s Quilts began in Canada in the fall of 1998, and the Renfrew Chapter was established in 2003 with just five people. “The Renfrew Chapter has about 25 active volunteers that faithfully work on our quilts,� said Barbara Jamieson.

There are now more than 1,000 volunteers with branches in Quebec, Ontario, Alberta, Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Manitoba, including 25 groups in Ottawa.

The Renfrew Group meets on the third Monday of the month from September to June at Calvary Pentecostal Church, “generously donated to us,� Jamieson notes. “Not only is this a work day where we sew kits cut out by our Keeper of the Stash, Debi, another group is also sandwiching the finished quilts together and a third group is hand-stitching the bindings. It is also a chance for friendship with one another

while providing quilts for cancer patients.�

Quilt requests are all handled through the National Office Database, and anyone can request a quilt. “Renfrew has made 400 (quilts) since we started. Our area covers Braeside to Calabogie, Renfrew, Douglas, Dacre, Griffith and Haley Station,� Jamieson said. “We have had several raffles on quilts, been the lucky recipient of raffle money held by the Renfrew Quilt Guild and received donations from individuals and local companies, but, as with any service organization, it is always a struggle to stay on top of the demands,� she adds.

The latest Victoria’s Quilts fundraising quilt draw was won Oct. 18 by Bob and Sue Adkins of Arnprior.

Victoria’s thanks volunteer Maxime Lapierre for making the teapot quilt for the fundraising, and to Denis Essiambre for providing custom machine quilting. “We have all been touched by cancer in some way, and we all know how much pain and suffering a cancer patient endures through the long weeks or months of treatment,� Jamieson adds. “Through the gift of a quilt we hope we can bring some comfort during those times.�

Loader purchase to be investigated The Township of Whitewater Region recently purchased a new loader and made arrangements for the disposal of their used equipment.

Now a news release from the township says that although the municipality followed their tender process, both the purchase of the new vehicle and the tradein have generated a number of concerns by the taxpayers in the municipality.

As chair of the public works committee and incoming Mayor Elect, Councillor Jim Labow has been given the responsibility to oversee an internal investigation into both the purchase and the disposal of the equipment.

An external investigator has been brought in who will report

directly to Mayor Elect Labow on the issue. “Mr. Labow commented that there is a lot of misinformation being spread in the community and on social networking sites and it is important to obtain a clear understanding of what happened so that our council and the taxpayers are satisfied that the best interests of the municipality have been served,� the news release said.

Labow encourages anyone who believes that they have factual information about this situation to address it in writing to him directly and he will forward it on to the investigator.

The township hopes to complete its investigation by Nov. 22, 2010.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING – APPLICATION FOR CONSENT IN THE MATTER OF Section 53 of the Planning Act, 1990, and; IN THE MATTER OF an application by Marlene Thompson, with respect to Plan 8 Block K, Part 9, known municipally as 446 Raglan Street North.

Bill Lockwood, left, and Howard Foster with Allan Sell, past president of Renfrew Legion Branch 148.

Local seniors in Honour

In honour of the 65th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, Chartwell Seniors Housing is proud to launch a new book, Honour, featuring the work of renowned Canadian photographer Yuri Dojc. The book was inspired by the death of Canada’s last WWI veteran who passed away in January 2010.

“We realize an incredible amount of history lives in our residences,” said Brent Binions, President and CEO of Chartwell Seniors Housing REIT. “Honour captures the unique and compelling stories of 35 quiet heroes living in Chartwell homes across Canada,” he says.

The book features the photos and profiles of individuals who are either veterans or supported the war effort.

Two residents from Quail Creek Retirement in Renfrew were chosen for the boo,k including Mr. William Lockwood and Mr. Howard Foster.

Taken as a prisoner of war by the Japanese, Lockwood endured more than three years

of starvation, disease and brutality at the hands of his captors. He still has a diary with the handwritten names of over 300 fellow soldiers who did not survive the ordeal.

“They deserve to be remembered if they could not be helped,” he adds.

The book was launched yesterday at the Ottawa War Museum and is sold at Chartwell seniors’ homes across the country.

Quail Creek held a Veteran’s Celebration Oct. 27, extended to all veterans’ family and friends.

“We are very proud of our veterans, and this is how we can give back,” says a press release from Quail Creek.

Net proceeds were donated to Canadian organizations committed to the remembrance of Canada’s veterans, including the War Amps Operation Legacy.

Chartwell operates over 150 retirement homes and long-term care homes across Canada, including Quail Creek Retirement Centre.

The purpose and effect of the consent being sought may be briefly stated as:

Jim Miller

The applicant is proposing to sever the rear portion of the property, being 18.31 metres and 24.38 metres in depth for a total of 446.4 square metres, as a lot addition to the adjacent lands, which contain Groves Park Lodge. The retained lands will be comprised of 566.52 square metres, being 18.31 metres in frontage and a depth of 30.94.

TAKE NOTICE that this application will be heard by the Committee of Adjustment on Wednesday, November 24th, 2010 at 12:00 p.m. in the staff kitchen, Town Hall, 127 Raglan Street South, Renfrew, Ontario.

You are entitled to attend this public hearing in person to express your views about this application or you may be represented by counsel for that purpose. If you wish to make written comments, they may be forwarded to the Secretary/Treasurer of the Committee of Adjustment at the address shown below.

Additional information may be obtained from the Secretary/Treasurer between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday.

If a person or public body that files an appeal of a decision of the Committee of Adjustment of the Town of Renfrew in respect of the proposed consent does not make written submissions to the Committee of Adjustment of the Town of Renfrew before it gives or refuses to give a provisional consent, the Ontario Municipal Board may dismiss the appeal.

If you wish to be notified of the decision of the Committee of Adjustment of the Town of Renfrew in respect of the proposed consent, you must make a written request to the Secretary/Treasurer at the address indicated below.

‘Friends’ prepare for Dominican experience

CASTLEFORD DERBY DONATIONS DISHED OUT

ROSE-ANNE BOUCHER

Friends for Life International gathered recently to do some serious packing in preparation for their volunteer work in the Dominican Republic. They will arrive in Punta Cana on Nov. 6, heavily laden with bulging hockey bags full of vitamins for expectant moms, babies and toddlers. Yes, the Canadians have arrived with their hockey bags!

The packing party was indeed organized chaos as most of the 18 volunteers sorted and carefully wrapped medical supplies in cloth diapers, baby and adult bibs and receiving blankets. The items were sewn lovingly by the group’s Angel from St. Joseph, Que. Frances is tireless in her efforts, year after year. Added to the bags were donated baby clothes, blankets, sheets and towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste and toys.

For some, this will be a return self-financed trip to provide humanitarian aid combined with projects providing long-term benefits for the poor. For others, this adventure will expose them to life in the Bateys for displaced Haitians living in horrendous conditions. To alleviate suffering and pain and provide for a healthier lifestyle, resources are directed at providing medical professionals, medications, medical supplies, health education, food, food projects, primary education and shelter in extreme cases. A tall order for a one-week visit. And the cost to the recipients: no charge.

The effort is supported by the organizers of fundraisers and those who supported bake and yard sales, the Victorian Tea, the burgers & beer meal, the pop can recycle drive, and the church collection of donations of financial and material gifts to name a few.

Rod and Joyce raise funds on an on-going basis. This year they brought in $1,750 for three physician travel packs. Every dollar donated will provide at least $10 of medicine at the pharmaceutical company level.

Participants of this year’s project are from Ottawa, Pembroke, Pontiac, Toronto, North Bay and St. John, N.B. They will take 14 physician travel packs, each containing 50 pounds of meds, as well as about 28 hockey bags of clothing and donated medicines, medical equipment, each weighting 45 pounds or more.

Included with the group are six audiologists who will be conducting hearing clinics in a number of schools.

This is a very important program as many of the children suffer from impaired hearing in such a poverty stricken area.

“Adios” to family and friends.

Ruffles and Truffles fundraiser spreads Think Pink message LUCY HASS lucy.hass@metroland.com

Ruffles and Truffles was a fitting theme for a fashion show fundraiser Oct. 28 for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The gathering also fell, appropriately, on National Chocolate Day. A mouth-watering chocolate buffet was served by J&J Chocolates, reopened on Raglan Street in Renfrew with Lindsay Scobie at the helm after the untimely death of business founder Jeff Dick.

Karen Maxwell models one of the many fashions from Ella’s at last week’s Ruffles and Last year’s event raised $2,000 for the Truffles fundraiser at the Ma-te-Way Activity Centre. Mercury photo by Lucy Hass Amigos Mammography Fund and this

year proceeds also went to the Heart and Stroke Foundation in memory of Dick.

Among the funds raised was $200 donated by Jo-Anne Dowdall-Brown, the proceeds of a ladies’ day event this past summer at the Dragonfly Golf Links.

Décor for the evening was provided by Brides and Blooms, and Think Pink merchandise was sold before and after the fashion show.

Host business Ella’s Fashions and Keeping Company provided gifts bags to all, door prizes were distributed and raffle tickets were sold for a number of special prizes.

RVH Xmas tortierres for sale Once again, the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Auxiliary has their famous Christmas tortierres for sale.

This has been a popular fundraiser for the RVH Auxiliary.

Last year, they sold 346 meat pies and this year they hope to sell as many, or more, says Barbara

Symington of the RVH Auxiliary.

“It is a delicious recipe, over 100 years old,” she says.

Pies are $12 each and chili sauce to complement the pies is $4 per jar.

“Get your orders in early,” Symington adds.

Orders can be placed by

calling 613-432-4851, ext.

291; or 613-432-2448 before Nov. 20.

All proceeds go to the RVH CT scanner.

The Renfrew Victoria Hospital Auxiliary thanks all who have helped make this a success and to Tracey’s Ice Cream for storing the tortierres.

Nicolas Ruszkowski

Nicolas Ruszkowski VP, Communications Ottawa Hospital We all know someone who has been touched by cancer. My “someone”, my best friend Christelle, passed away in France seventeen years ago. She was eighteen.

Christelle was booked for surgery immediately after her brain cancer was detected. Complications from surgery led to paralysis. Then came radiation, with painful skin problems and fatigue. Finally, chemotherapy: nausea, immune deficiency, hair loss.

Today, there is new hope. The doctors, nurses, therapists, social workers and psychologists who help our patients battle cancer are finding a better way.

This fall, The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre unveiled Eastern Ontario’s first CyberKnife. Cyber-what?

CyberKnife is the world’s only robotic radio-surgery system. In other words, it performs radiation therapy with precision and effectiveness of surgery. This allows doctors to get at otherwise inoperable tumors without any incision, pain or discomfort to patients.

Krista Kowalchuk, our first CyberKnife patient, underwent the first of three one-hour treatments with her doctors, neurosurgeon John Sinclair and

radiation oncologist Jason Pantarotto, to treat two tumors located on her spine.

Before CyberKnife, Krista’s only options were brain surgery (she has had 5 to remove other tumors) or five-week courses of daily radiation treatment that could damage not only her tumors, but healthy tissue as well.

Today, she needs no anesthetic before her procedure, experiences only slight soreness on the spot where she has been treated, and spends less time in hospital.

CyberKnife is especially effective against brain, lung, prostate, spinal, liver, pancreatic and kidney cancers. While it is not “the cure”, it does help ensure that patients like Krista get more compassionate, effective, and timely care.

Christelle would approve.

Nicolas Ruszkowski is VP Communications and Outreach at The Ottawa Hospital. Each week, he will share behind-the-scenes insight from the hospital.

Laft invites you to come blow your horn Laft Players

Yes, you heard it right!

Laft will present Neil Simon’s Come Blow Your Horn as its fall show.

This comedy is built around family, waxed fruit, two very different brothers, two very different ladies, an unusual Aunt Gussie, a controlling father and a fusspot mother.

If that sounds eccentric, you are right, so do join us and see what all this is about.

The script is directed by Kathy Dagg and Gladys Sidock and members of the cast include Darrin Topping, Taylor Popkie, Carol Ann Flannery, Michelle Carty, Mary Lynn McConnachie, Mike Kelly and Caroline Graham.

The cast and back stage workers are very busy, learning lines, designing and building sets, searching for wardrobe, orga-

nizing a lighting and sound plan and all the other tasks which are involved in producing live theatre. Posters are now visible downtown, and tickets went on sale at Aikenhead’s and Money Concepts Nov. 1.

The show will run Thursday, Nov. 18 and Friday, Nov. 19 at 7:30 at the Renfrew Recreation Centre.

We at Laft are honoured again to have been asked by Money Concepts to perform for them at their dinner show on Saturday, Nov. 20.

This show is presented by John Wilson and his staff as a charity evening. This affords the opportunity for Laft, a non-profit theatre group, to give back to the community by performing without charge to the financial organization.

If you enjoy comedy, laughter and fun, then this show is for you. See you there!

CORRECTION

Unwrapping Christmas Early raises $2,200 for mammography clinic STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

THIRD PLACE

Jim Miller keeps an eye on the votes, which came into the Renfrew election night headquarters in waves, starting with the electronic-vote results. Those results were followed by paper-ballot voting from the long-term care facilities and hospital, then the paper ballots. Miller finished third among eight councillor candidates, not fourth, as originally reported in The Mercury. He received 2,063 votes, compared to the leading total of 2,255 by Gail Cole. Clint McWhirter was fourth with 1,933 votes.

Home Hardware Building Centre’s third annual Unwrapping Christmas Early event brought Christmas early to the Renfrew Victoria Hospital mammography clinic.

A total of $2,200 was raised Oct. 19 at the Renfrew business.

Participation was limited to holders of $5 admisChristine Freemark, affectionately known as the Lum- sion tickets. Ticket masber Lass, was a hit during her Unwrapping Christmas ter Rae-Ellen Fraser says Early demonstration of Makita tools. Photos courtesy of nearly 400 tickets were sold Home Hardware Building Centre for the evening fundraiser staged as part of Breast Cancer Month.

Home Hardware’s Unwrapping Christmas Early event was a busy place Oct. 19. Participants included, at far left, student employee Selina Huot.

Please find me a home Each week we feature animals from the Arnprior and District Humane Society that are up for adoption.

#3843 Kirby

#3794 Moose

Here’s a kitty with lots of personality who will make a great companion for some lucky family. Kirby is a two-year-old neutered male who was found at the end of September and brought to the shelter.

He is an outgoing, social, affectionate cat who likes attention. Kirby is playful, curious and likes to climb. He is good with other cats and would be good with children

Poor little Moose was found abandoned at the shelter in August – he had been dumped off after hours. He is a six-monthold neutered male cat who is gentle and doesn’t like to be held for long but does like to be petted. Moose is a quiet kitten who is a little shy until he knows you. He loves the company of other cats and would be best suited in a adult home with at least one other cat for company.

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

The shelter is collecting UPC codes from all bags of Whiskas dry cat food until the end of December 2010.

You can call the Arnprior and District Humane Society at 613-623-0916 between noon and 5 p.m Monday to Saturday or visit www.arnpriorhumanesociety.ca

Huot, Colleen Dellaire and Angela Pigeon designed the layout, while employees also contributed their culinary talents to a bake sale.

The event began as a tribute to a former employee, who two years ago won her battle with breast cancer.

“It began as a ladies night,” says Pigeon, “and it’s become really popular for ladies and men.”

Knowledge that proceeds go to the mammography clinic helps to spearhead Unwrapping Christmas Early’s continuing success.

“It’s near and dear to us because a lot of friends and family have had to deal with cancer,” adds Pigeon.

All Home Hardware product purchases were

also tax free, while specific product-related demonstrations took place. For example, the store’s Julia ‘Paint Lady’ Riopelle demonstrated glass effects and Christine ‘Lumber Lass’ Freemark was a big hit with her Makita tools demonstration.

The funds raised at Unwrapping Christmas Early will likely go into a general fund for equipment replacement, said Julia Boudreau, vice-president of corporate services at Renfrew Victoria Hospital.

The clinic, which conducts more than 1,000 mammographies per year, will replace its mammography unit in the next few years.

The cost will be more than $500,000 and comes without funding from the provincial government.

Charlie Lemenchick honoured by Renfrew Golf Club ROB STEWART Renfrew Golf Club

Charlie Lemenchick receives an honourary plaque from Renfrew Golf Club president Patrick Cayen.

Photo courtesy of Renfrew Golf Club

The golfing community of Renfrew took time recently to offer their thanks to one of the local mainstays of the sport.

Anyone who has played the Renfrew Golf Club will be familiar with Charlie’s Park, a natural hazard for golfers playing holes seven and eight. What once was a legendary mess is now an area with clean sight lines, where errant balls can be quickly retrieved and taken back into play.

The transformation of the park was one of the first projects of Charlie Lemenchick, and the area was officially dedicated to his honour at a special dinner celebration on Oct. 16, just five days before his 89th birthday. More than 100 people attended the event, offering their thanks for a volunteer

Raiders impressive at EOSSAA PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

The Renfrew Collegiate Raiders enjoyed a huge day at the Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) high school cross-country championship Friday in Petawawa.

All six teams placed in the top eight to earn RCI top honours among AA schools.

Two teams have advanced to the Ontario (OFSAA) championship tomorrow and Saturday in Etobicoke.

The senior girls finished second while the senior boys went down to the wire before qualifying. The Raiders were tied with Frontenac, but got the nod on the strength of points gained by Andrew Heaslip’s fourth place finish.

The Raiders will be sending a dozen athletes to Etobicoke.

ON THE GRIDIRON The Senior Raiders (5-2-and-1) clinched a Lanark-Renfrew High School Football League playoff berth with a comfortable 54-13 win over the Fellowes Falcons in Pembroke Oct. 28.

Matt Sharpe and Cameron Shields both cracked the goalline twice for the Raiders. Jason Fleury, Jake Donohue, Josh Eady and quarterback Cooper Brown also struck paydirt. Kurtis Oattes hauled in a number of passes from Brown to spearhead the offence.

Joe Pilgrim and Taylor Green had interceptions and Mitchell Edwards a blocked punt for RCI. The Senior Raiders now travel to Arnprior and take on the Redmen in the LRHSFL semifinal today at 1 p.m.

The Junior Raiders (2-and-5) came up a bit short on a blustery Friday afternoon at Ma-Te-Way’s Lindsay Athletic Field.

The visiting Smiths Falls Redhawks pulled out a 7-6 victory over RCI to secure the final playoff spot.

All the scoring came in a two-minute span in the third quarter.

After a converted touchdown gave the Redhawks a 7-0 lead, Jake Cartman took the ball from quarterback Devin Clouthier and galloped from RCI territory to paydirt.

A two-point conversion failed. The wind made kicking a conventional convert improbable.

RCI outscored the Madawaska Valley District Wolves 49-31 in senior girls basketball action. Caitlin Dougherty and sister Sarah led with 15 and 14 points respectively. Mae Donohue added 11 and Maddie Kubiseski eight points.

The Raiders also won the junior encounter 28-16.

The two RCI teams, along with the Arnprior Redmen, joined forces to host the first Raiders-Redmen Playoff Primer girls basketball tournament in the gymnasiums of RCI, ADHS and St. Joseph’s Catholic High School Friday and Saturday.

Arnprior captured the junior title with a 4-and-0 record.

North Grenville took home the senior crown while Widdifield earned senior B-side honours. Three games went into overtime and a fourth into double overtime in the highly competitive senior division.

The tournament drew eight junior teams and 12 in the senior loop.

RCI turned back visiting Madawaska in senior boys volleyball action last Thursday at the Grant Gymnasium. Coach Dale Frew’s squad also captured top honours at the recent Panther Volleyball Classic at General Panet.

commitment that stretches beyond the memory of many current club members.

Charlie’s earliest golfing experiences go back to caddying in 1930 for the first Gordon Cup, an event still marked as the biggest inter-club competition in the Ottawa Valley’s golfing calendar each year.

By 1939, Charlie had moved from carrying the clubs to swinging them in such fine form that he garnered his first title as Renfrew Golf Club men’s champion, an honour he would earn three more times, in 1941, 1952 and 1953.

His connection with the Gordon Cup also continued to flourish. He played in 24 tournaments from 1939 to 1974, 21 years as a team player and his last three years as an alternate. In that time, he helped nine teams claim victory.

A decorated veteran of World War II, Charlie was also one of the finest senior hockey players of his era and an accomplished athlete in a number of sports.

Charlie was never too busy to help out with the ongoing work of improving the Renfrew Golf Club’s grounds.

He has spent countless hours removing brush and cutting grass, all by hand.

Even now, he can be found cleaning up various areas around the club or meeting up with golfers who stray into Charlie’s Park, where he will often remind them that they can’t ground their club in a hazard.

In addition to the special tribute he received on Oct. 16, Charlie has been honoured as a lifetime member of the Renfrew Golf Club, and has been inducted into the Town of Renfrew’s Sports Wall of Fame.

COLUMN

Giants bigger than Texas As San Francisco reliever Brian Wilson trotted out to the mound and mowed down the Texas Rangers to clinch the Giants first World Series title since 1954, I couldn’t help but whistle the Brian Wilson tune authored by the Barenaked Ladies in 1990.

I’m sure Wilson wasn’t still lying in bed the next morning, but if he was, it was probably with a hangover.

As for the World Series itself, the Giants destroyed my Texas-in-six prediction. They were the dominant team in every department, and ended up winning this series handily.

The Rangers were shut out only five times in 162 games during the 2010 regular season. They were shut down twice in five World Series games, and were a game-five solo home run away from being blanked for a third time.

A couple of generations before him, Doug Lynch once had a goal-per-period five-goal game, with the Junior B Lions in the early 1970s.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime feat then, and impossible now.

Lynch had a goal in each of the regulation-time periods, one in the 10-minute overtime, and the game winner in double overtime as the Lions beat the Ottawa 67 B’s 7-6 in a playoff game.

The full 10-minute overtime session prior to sudden-death was abolished after the 1989-90 season.

Four for the road: Jimmy MacMillan pulled off a rare feat in the Junior B loop when the Pontiac Juniors edged the Stittsville Royals 5-4 in overtime Friday night.

The Renfrew native had a four-goal night, a fine game in itself, but his four markers were spread out. MacMillan notched one goal in each period, capped by the overtime game winner.

* * * The coach of the Buffalo Sabres prior to Lindy Ruff was Ted Nolan, who won coach-of-the-year accolades in 1996-97 before being canned.

And for this week: The San Francisco Giants franchise had gone without a World Series title since 1954. Name the only two Major League Baseball teams who have gone longer.

Poker raises $6,100 for hospice PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

The third annual Hold ’em for Hospice poker tournament was another huge success for its benefactor, Hospice Renfrew.

The event – held in memory of J.J. and Rosemarie Enright – at the Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church hall drew 73 players Oct. 16 and raised $6,100.

“We had players from all the way up to Sudbury and all the way down to Montreal,” organizer Andrew Dick said.

“The communities of Renfrew, Barry’s Bay and Ottawa really pulled through for prizes and players,” he added.

“We even had some sponsorship from the Toronto area. Once again, I’m proud to be a Renfrew resident after running and receiving the support in something like this.”

Cards were in the air at 4 p.m. and the tournament capped off at 1 a.m., Dick noted. The day also included a beautiful dinner, he added. “We had players of all ages. We even had a family of six

Wolves tie Clarence Creek PETER CLARK

peter.clark@metroland.com

Gaining a tie in two road games may not sound like much, but after playing in two of the tougher Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League Metro Division rinks, the past weekend may not seen too bad.

The Renfrew Timberwolves battled the Ottawa West Golden Knights down to the wire at the Barbara Ann Scott Arena last Thursday night, only to drop a tough 3-2 decision. Kirk Skebo had both markers for the Wolves.

Richard Barr had his second solid goaltending performance against the east Ottawa area team in as many meetings. This time, he and the Wolves have a point to show for it.

At 5-7-and-2, the Wolves are in a deadlock with Almonte for third place in the Valley loop.

Jaguars prepare to host playoff games PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

The St. Joseph’s Senior Jaguars upped their Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association record to 7-and-1 with a 35-30 win over the Madawaska Valley District Wolves in Barry’s Bay Oct. 28. Coach Mike McMahon said it wasn’t his team’s best performance of the 2010 season.

“We struggled,” was the quickest way he put it. Rebecca MacLaren led the attack offensively with 14 points for the Jaguars.

Sarah MacLaren collected nine points and Natalie Walters eight.

The Junior Jaguars were led by Sonya Bergin and Renee Gauthier on the scoreboard, and a smothering defence in a tight 21-17 verdict over the Wolves. “It was a good win as we prepare for the playoffs,” coach Mark Valliquette observed.

The Jaguars are 6-and-2 with one regular-season game remaining.

Both Jaguar teams appear headed to third-place finishes, and should host opening-round (quarterfinal) playoff games this afternoon. They follow a 1 p.m. serve for Jaguars versus RCI Raiders senior boys volleyball action.

Volleyball playoffs start Tuesday, Nov.

9. The Senior Jaguars could still finish as high as second and host some post-season action.

Six Jaguars competed at the Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) high school cross-country championship against some stiff competition Oct. 30 in Petawawa.

Wearing the colours of the Jaguars were midget boys Jonathon Carlson and Iain Reid, junior girl Rebecca Gooddy, and junior boys Aidan Solar, Josh Southworth and Joel Beimers. Although some good times were recorded, coach Renee Turcotte noted no one was able to qualify for the upcoming Ontario (OFSAA) championship.

Hypnotized From Page 20 “We would very much appreciate your help,” Hawley said of the community.

“Perhaps you could ask your friends and co-workers if anyone would like to participate in this fundraiser for the Horton Recreation Committee.”

For more information, call 613-4326271.

“Those who would like to be hypnotized, feel free to call, or come to this event on Nov. 13 at the Horton Community Centre,” Hawley adds.

Getting to know … Erik Karlsson

By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com Two years ago, he took centre stage as the Ottawa Senators’ top pick in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft.

And truth be told, Erik Karlsson was a bit of a mystery man to many of the fans attending the first round of that draft at Scotiabank Place. But the Senators were convinced they’d landed a gem of a blueliner with rare offensive gifts.

With one season now under his belt, the 20-year-old native of Landsbro, Sweden, has already gone a long way toward justifying the immense faith Senators management had in him when they brought Karlsson into the organization. He made the team out of training camp last fall but a month into the year, was sent down to the Binghamton Senators for some American Hockey League

seasoning.

By the time the calendar flipped to January, however, Karlsson began to establish himself as one of the Senators’ top blueliners, a 5-11, 175-pound dynamo with breathtaking skills with the puck. He finished his rookie season with five goals and 21 assists in 60 games. His 26-point total ranked second among all Ottawa defenceman, behind only veteran Filip Kuba.

Karlsson took some time out to talk about hockey, his homeland and whole lot more.

Q: Your favourite hockey memory growing up in Sweden?

A: When I was picked for the Under-16 national team when I was 15. That’s the one I can think of right now.

Q: Who were your hockey idols growing up?

A: There were so many.

I’d probably say Nick Lidstrom. (Daniel) Alfredsson was one of them. (Mats) Sundin, (Peter) Forsberg, those guys.

Q: When did you know you could make it to the NHL? A: Last

year was probably when I realized that I could play here.

Q: Your welcome to the NHL moment?

A: When they told me to get a house here and get settled.

Q: Best piece of advice you ever got from Daniel Alfredsson?

A: He helped me a lot, so it’s hard to pick out one thing. But he always told me to be positive, even when it’s going not so good.

Q: What do you miss the most about Sweden?

A: The lunches. It’s food that you don’t have here.

Q: What’s your favourite thing to do when you go home?

A: I like playing tennis.

Q: What other sport would you like to play for a living if you weren’t a hockey player?

A: Tennis player.

Q: How much would it mean to you to play for Sweden at the Olympics?

A: It would be awesome. It’s a thing you really want to do.

Q: What do like to watch on TV? A: I watch a lot of Two And A Half Man. I’ve seen it all. That’s my favourite show. And I like Friends, too.

Q: Your favourite type of music.

A: I like house music.

Q: What’s the first thing you bought after you signed your first contract?

A: A pair of new shoes.

Q: What do you like to do to relax?

A: Watch TV. Q: What’s your dream car?

A: It would be a Ferrari.

Q: Three things on your bucket list.

A: Win the Stanley Cup, win an Olympic gold medal and have kids.

Q: Your favourite NHL city to visit.

A: Vancouver. The atmosphere and the surroundings there are so nice.

Atlanta Thrashers Nov. 9, 7:30 p.m., Sportsnet East

Andrew Ladd Photo by Scott Cunningham/ Getty Images

Q: Talent you’d most like to have.

A: I can’t sing. I like to sing in the car, but I’m not very good.

With the addition of a bit of championship pedigree, the Thrashers have made some early season noise in the Eastern Conference. Atlanta’s off-season overhaul included the acquisition of four players — forwards Dustin Byfuglien, Andrew Ladd and Ben Eager, along with defenceman Brent Sopel — who had a major hand in bringing the Stanley Cup to Chicago last season. Homegrown talent is also part of the mix, with former first-round draft picks Evander Kane and Alexander Burmistrov seeing regular duty for the Thrashers. Tobias Enstrom is an underrated force on the Atlanta blue line, while Chris Mason has shouldered the bulk of the goaltending duties early on.

Q: Your favourite movie.

A: Lord of the Rings.

For many years the Friendlies survived camaraderie around sharing a good meal. most diverse group in interclub play are the men and women in the Friendlies. Here we find senior curlers at all stages of their curling careers, many of whom do not play in competitive events.

The first Friendlies are Nov. 10 in Renfrew and Nov. 17 in Carp. Sign up today and experience a unique curling event.

Friendly curling consisted of one eight-end game followed by fellowship and refreshments. Merle and Chas Martin organized the delicious lunches when our club entertained. The main challenge at the time was attempting to give all curlers an opportunity to take part in games here and away. But as it does now, working around the Low Cup and, at that time the Senators’ competitions, proves to be a challenge.

After contending with not only those challenges, (Reg. $24900) but also overcoming the usual problems such as illnesses, Florida vacations, and prior commitments, full teams were arranged for every Friendly game. with a new patient exam

Dog races coming to Bristol Nov. 13-14

PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

Canadian championship dog sled racing is coming to western Quebec. Bristol will host the Bristol Dryland Canadian Championship Nov. 13 and 14 at Timberland, 36 Ragged Chute Rd. Dryland is when a dog or team in harness pulls a vehicle on a dirt track or pavement.

“This is new in Canada,” race coordinator Denis Rozon said. “It’s very popular in the United States, Europe and Australia. It is a spectacular sport for spectators.”

There are nine separate classes of dog races, Rozon added. Featured over the two days in Bristol will be canicross, which is running behind the dog, bikejoring (bicycle), scooter, cart 4 (dogs), cart 6 and cart 8.

Canicross opens the action on the dryland course on both days at 9:30 a.m. while the 6.5-kilometre cart 8 closes the days’ racing events at 2:30 p.m. Award presentations and a spaghetti dinner are on Sunday, Nov. 14 at 5 p.m. in the Jack Graham Bristol Community Centre.

“The trail we have is the best trail in the world,” Rozon said. “It was made by Bristol Mayor Brent

GOLFING TO HELP KIDS BEAT DIABETES The annual Independent Planning Group/ Murphy Financial Charity Golf tournament was held this year on Sept. 3. The tournament raises money and awareness for Juvenile Diabetes. In front are JDRF ambassador Logan Wright and Lesley Wright of the Independent Planning Group. From left to right in back row are Karl Murphy of the Independent Planning Group, and winning team members Jaime Hass, Andrew Mckay, Rory Mckay and David Wiggins. “We had a wonderful day with the weather co-operating mostly,” Lesley Wright said. “We had a bit of rain but that didn’t dampen the golfers’ spirits in any way.

With the help of our wonderful crew of golfers and sponsors, we were able to raise $7,000 for Juvenile Diabetes Research.”

From Page 25 Two women competitors are from this area. Lynn Cheffins of Douglas is entered in the sixdog class and two-dog scooter class. The other Valley competitor is Kiara Brintnell of the Denbigh area. They often get out together with the dogs.

“I’m really looking forward to this event. It’s so close,” Cheffins said of the Bristol races.

“Dryland is a newer sport and it’s growing.

“I’ve been dog sledding for about 20 years, mostly for recreation,” Cheffins added. “I’ve been racing for five years.”

Following the Canadian championships, Rozon and the race committee are looking to go right to the top.

“We have applied for the world championship. It’s like the Olympics. People apply from Europe and other places.

We’ll have to wait and see.”

Parking and admission is free for next week’s championship. More information is available at www.bristoldryland.ca.

HEALTH

Messages of wellness well received at Women’s Health Festival steve.newman@metroland.com

Attendance continues to flourish at the ninth annual Women’s Health Festival hosted by the wellness of women committee.

The key word is wellness or health, as organizers, guest speakers and keynote presenters all seek to offer solutions or alternatives related to such areas as nutrition, yoga, flexibility, diabetes, communication, osteoporosis, depression, fraud and Alzheimer disease.

Those were some of the 12 official topics for the Oct. 23 festival at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School, where health-based organizations hosted displays or handed out educational material.

Marq Nelson of Osteoporosis Canada was among those with an exhibit, while he was also one of the guest speakers at the festival that is held every second year.

Absorption of the proper levels of calcium, and vitamins A and D, and weight-bearing exercises are key to developing or maintaining healthy bone structure, he indicated.

The keynote presentation was by Aging Well Theatre performers from Deep River, who took a humorous but informative look at seniors-related issues. Laughter was abundant during the hourlong presentation on such issues as driving, wills, memory loss, marriage, and the prevention of wear-and-tear disease, which was dubbed WTD. There were health messages in all skits, with a serious message couched in humour.

The messages were simple to absorb, too. As director Sherryl Walsh indicated: “When you can’t do stuff anymore, do other stuff.”

Another dominant theme by the theatre group was the focus on the importance of friendships and social contact for all seniors.

One of the best attended sessions was Heads Up for Healthier Brains. Almost 50 people attending the session presented by Tracey Liebg of the Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County.

She spoke about age-related memory changes, abnormal changes and what can be done to take charge of one’s own brain to reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

She said good examples of being in the disease’s early stages might include the misplacement of items in most peculiar places, like tea bags in the freezer or milk in the cupboard. Changes in personality, like talking negatively about neighbours who were never bad neighbours, could be another symptom, said Liebig.

She also noted that only one-third of those who need mental-health services in Canada actually receive them.

She pointed out that 44 per cent of those who feel they have suffered some form of depression have never gone to a doctor about their problem. She also indicated that 70 per cent of mental-health problems and illness have their onset during childhood and adolescence.

It was estimated more than 150 people attended the festival, said Theresa Mann, one of the organizers.

“I guess it’s meeting a need for people. People are still interested in the topics,” said Mann.

Survey results help organizers determine new topics, and what topics to repeat, for the festival program.

The festival began in 1995.

Pileated woodpecker gets a second chance

Hi Jim and Ila: I’m happy to report the recovery and release of the pileated woodpecker that I took to the Wild Bird Sanctuary early in September. It had a broken clavicle and bruised shoulder.

There are lots of robins in the area in increasingly large groups as they prepare for their journey south, and a large flock of evening grosbeaks has arrived at the feeder.

I’m also keeping an eye on a blue jay that has a peculiar deformity involving his beak. There is a large pale lumpy material on the upper mandible which is causing his beak to splay like a pair of open scissors. He is unable to grasp seeds normally but is adept at scooping them up. I’ll try to get a picture of it.

Jane Hunter, Calabogie.

Jane: Thank you for your efforts to successfully rehabilitate the woodpecker, they are an uncommon species. It seems that the larger the bird the better the success of treating a bird’s injuries.

The blue jay will have a problem feeding but as long as it is able to get seed it will survive.

MALLARDS REMAIN

SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE make the trip south to open water.

Mallards go through two molts each year. A complete molt of all feathers occurs in late summer and fall. It is during this molt that the male assumes his wellknown appearance of a green head and light-coloured body. In early midsummer both male and female go through a partial molt of body feathers and not the wings or tail.

BLUEBIRDS STAY Mary Steel had a family flock of nine bluebirds visit her bird boxes on Oct. 24.

As long as there are berries to eat the birds will stay. During the spring and summer bluebirds have a diet that is 80 percent insects, mainly caterpillars and 20 percent fruit.

When the wild fruit becomes available in the late summer and fall they switch to a diet of 60 per cent fruit and 40 per cent insects.

BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS ARRIVE Shirley Leith saw a large flock of Bohemian waxwings on Friday of last week.

The birds usually arrive at this time to harvest any berries left by the robins.

422710

Annabelle Marshall has a flock of 14 mallards feeding near her home. She was concerned about whether they would stay too long and become frozen in the ice.

There is no doubt that a few water birds become caught. However, all but a few

THIS WEEK

Mercury The Renfrew

Serving the community since 1879

Buckthorn, mountain ash, hawthorn, crab apple and juniper fruits are among their favourites.

The birds are truly Bohemian in their movements. They travel the country in search of food and they know where and when the fruit is available. Expect large flocks in the area until after Christmas.

ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK RETURNS A year ago about this time Tracey Marki saw a rough-legged hawk hunting in the field across from the O’Brien Road McDonald’s Restaurant.

On Friday of last week she saw a roughlegged hawk hunting in the same field.

There is no way of knowing if it is the same bird unless the bird was banded with colour coded bands that can be seen from the ground.

Raptors remember where food is available on their migration route. Stop-over locations are very important for the birds, as it saves wasting time and energy searching for new hunting territories.

The fields along highway 417, highway 60, the Queens Line, the Barr Line and the South McNaughton Road in the townships surrounding Renfrew are just such stop-over areas.

The fields are generally flat and many have grain stubble that attracts small rodents, the prime food source of raptors.

Watch for rough-legged and red-tailed hawks hunting from the hydro poles along these roads.

NIGHT COMMUNICATION Many small birds migrate at night to prevent being caught by birds of prey.

Although they cannot be seen they can be heard. On a quiet night at this time of year the air can be filled with their call notes. These notes act as signals to other birds and help them avoid collisions and indicate the number of birds in the area.

The birds can be identified by family but seldom by individual species. Take a listen on a quiet night.

Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, R.R. 5, Renfrew, Ontario K7V 3Z8 phone 613-432-2738 or email jamesh@nrtco.net.

Patient Safety Week: Ask questions, get answers “Ask questions. Talk to us.” That’s what staff members at the Renfrew Victoria Hospital (RVH) have been saying to patients recently.

In preparation for Canadian Patient Safety Week Nov. 1 to 5 the hospital held a focus group with patients to discuss their concerns about safety in the hospital.

“Patient safety is an integral part of our hospital practice, and it is integral to the health care system as a whole,” says RVH chief executive officer Randy Penney. “I am always looking for evidence that safety practices are endorsed by hospitals and hospital boards.” Penney was recently accepted into the surveyor program for the International Society of Quality in Health Care (ISQua).

“Patient safety is crucial in the hospital setting,” agrees Catherine O’Neil, chair of the RVH board of directors. “This week gives us a chance to reflect on what we are doing. It is important for patients to understand their role in ensuring safety.”

The week’s theme is Ask, Listen, Talk.

According to the Canadian Patient Safety Institute (CPSI), good health care starts with good communication. Health care professionals, patients and their families are encouraged to not just think it, but to say it: ask questions, listen to the answers, and talk about any concerns you have. CPSI reports that between 9,000 and 24,000 people die each year from preventable harm in health care facilities. CPSI was created to educate health care professionals, patients and families about their responsibilities in ensuring safety in the health care system.

The week is intended to increase awareness of patient safety issues and to share information about best practices with health care providers, patients, residents, clients and their families. Health care facilities and health organizations across Canada hold events and activities to increase awareness of patient safety.

The discussions with patients at RVH in preparation for Patient Safety Week helped staff to understand many of the safety issues that concern patients, said Chris Ferguson, vice-president of patient care services. “Meeting with the patients gave us great input into where we should post (safety) information so that patients would read it, and also what to post so that patients would understand their role in safety. It was a very valuable meeting from the caregiver perspective, as we were able to seek their opinions, insight, and advice on a wide variety of issues,” Ferguson said.

RVH has enlisted patient safety peer champions on each of the hospital’s units to highlight patient safety information.

An audit of safety practices also will be conducted by hospital staff, and information will be posted on safety boards in each unit. Patient safety quizzes were also held in the cafeteria.

A poster 8 Steps to a Safer Hospital Visit was reviewed by the patient focus group.

You can find more about patient safety on the RVH website www.renfrewhosp. com or go to www.asklistentalk.ca. You can also find out more about the Canadian Patient Safety Institute at www.patientsafetyinstitute.ca.

AGRICULTURE

Surprise! Rye whisky from Ontario corn November is the month when the huge grain corn acreage in Ontario is harvested. There was no usual killing September frost, making it the perfect extended summer for corn and soybean growers.

Speaking of corn, did you know that the major carbohydrate in the production of whiskey is corn?

My Webster’s Encyclopedia defines whiskey as a strong alcoholic liquor made from a fermented mash of various cereals: Scotch whiskey from malted barley; Irish whiskey usually from barley, and American whiskey and bourbon from rye and corn. Scotch and other whiskeys are usually blended; pure malt whiskeys are the most expensive. Whiskey is generally aged in wooden casks for four to 12 years.

The spelling “whisky” usually refers to Scotch or Canadian drink and “whiskey” to Irish or American.

The encyclopedia says nothing about Canadian whisky. But I know.

A typical Canadian

MAYNARD VAN DER GALIEN RURAL ROUTES whisky is made from a mixture of about 90 per cent corn, five per cent rye and five per cent barley malt? I read in a recent edition of Ontario Grain Farmer, a publication for corn, wheat and soybean growers.

An article on corn and whisky says Ontario corn has gained global attention in the form of a well-loved golden-hue beverage.

“Our whisky is primarily made with Canadian corn and most of that corn is from Ontario,” says Jan Westcott, president and CEO of Spirits Canada which represents Canada’s distilleries.

According to Westcott, Ontario distilleries use 110,000 to 120,000 tonnes of corn every year and they source almost 100 per cent from right here at home.

And here’s the surprise.

The article says Canadian whisky is often referred to as rye whisky, but is primarily made from corn.

“Typically, two types of whiskies are made in the distilling process,” explains Westcott. “A base whisky made from corn and a rye whisky. The rye whisky is very strong – you wouldn’t necessarily want to drink it on its own, but it is used to flavour the corn whisky.”

Canadian distillers have been turning Canadian corn into Canadian whisky for more than 200 years.

Today, this whiskey represents a $500 million export market and our whisky outlets outsell all other types in the U.S., including Bourbon, Scotch and Irish whisky.

“While Canadian whisky has saturated the North American marketplace, local distilleries are looking further abroad for future opportunities,” says the article.

More exports mean more corn, and an expanding whisky market that would benefit Ontario corn producers through increased local demand. Now you know. If you are a whisky drinker, enjoy that Canadian corn whisky, eh!

The Renfrew Mercury - November 4, 2010

Serving an elaborate German feast to your co-workers and patients is no small feat. But Bonnie Nolan, Teresa Connaughan, Dr. Nicole Delbrouck and their Oktoberfestloving friends make it look easy.

“They prepare all this food like it’s just an ordinary day. No big deal,” comments Roxanne Nolan, the recreation department director at RVH. On October 18, the hallways along the third floor of the hospital were lined with dishes brimming with cabbage rolls, homemade bread, sausages, sauerkraut, perogies and all the fixings, plus a buffet of freshly-made pies and desserts to follow all that German fare.

It’s an extraordinary day for many of the staff, patients and physicians who look forward to fixing themselves a plate at this delicious annual tradition.

Mainly because of the wonderful spirits of the cooks and volunteers who have, from day one, executed this event out of the kindness of their hearts.

This intangible quality in the staff makes Nolan beam with pride and gush about how lucky the RVH family is to have this generous band of Oktoberfest cooks and assistants on their team.

“They have hearts the size of mountains,” she says.

Nolan knows that organizing an Oktoberfest lunch and cooking all the food to feed nearly 150 people isn’t easy.

About twenty years ago, Nolan introduced some of the rituals and Oktoberfest-style entertainment to the recreational programming.

It wasn’t long before Bonnie Nolan and Connaughan, then both RPNs on the third floor’s continuing care unit, eagerly jumped on board to help.

At one time, the day was geared to just the third floor patients and staff. A few years later, Bonnie Nolan and Connaughan moved to the dialysis department and extended the invitation to include dialysis staff, patients and any family with them.

When Bonnie Nolan was transferred to the ER unit, the lunch became a hospital-wide affair in no time.

“It’s a great day. People don’t want to miss it now. Some are not even working that day but will come in just for the food,” says Nolan. “Staff who have helped out with the day and have since retired, like Connaughan, continue to be involved, which is incredible.”

About five years ago, a staff member set out a donation jar with the thought of helping the organizers offset some of the costs of supplying the food and as a gesture

of gratitude. The meal is a completely voluntary effort, including the grocery bill.

But, in true RVH style, Nolan says that the ladies turned the funds over to the recreation department.

“For them, it’s not about the money. It’s about the atmosphere and creating a fun, memorable event,” Nolan remarks. “It also speaks to the giving-back attitude among the hospital’s staff.”

This year the lunch raised $493.75, which will be put towards something special for the third floor patients.

Patient Margaret Bullock and Recreation Department Director Roxanne Nolan enjoy the Oktoberfest celebrations at RVH. 368014

RVH program to provide care to seniors at home Seniors in Renfrew and surrounding communities can now look forward to more independence and another option for their living arrangements in their twilight years. A proposal by Renfrew Victoria Hospital (RVH) to establish a Supportive Housing/Assisted Living program for seniors in the Renfrew area has been approved by the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN).

RVH proposes to establish a Supportive Housing/Assisted Living program that will serve up to 20 senior clients living at home with personal care support and 24/7 emergency response.

“This program is a wonderful opportunity for RVH and for seniors in the community,” said RVH chief executive officer Randy Penney. “This is completely new territory for us. The program will provide seniors with a better quality of life, more security and more choice in their environment,” Penney said. “A priority for the Ontario government is less reliance on in-patient beds, and this project is an innovative way to look at alternatives,” Penney said. “This is hugely exciting for all of us.”

At present, there is no assisted living/ supportive housing in Renfrew or the surrounding region. RVH made the proposal to the Champlain LHIN last winter. RVH is the only hospital in the region to receive funding for this program.

Chris Ferguson, Vice-President of Patient Care Services, said the RVH program will be a safe, affordable and cost-effective alternative to long-term care homes for some seniors. “A lack of supportive housing can detract from the health and safety of seniors, and force them into inappropriate and more expensive options,”

Ferguson said. “Supportive housing is a viable option for seniors who need help with everyday activities and who, without this help, are at risk of losing their independence and choice in terms of a place of residence.”

The RVH program, which has a budget of $365,000, will provide home care to up to 20 seniors who meet designated criteria for assisted living. The program will include personal support worker assistance 24/7 along with a coordinator for the program. This will allow clients to receive personal care support along with 24/7 urgent response from the team.

There are several advantages to having the program administered by the hospital, Ferguson said. “The hospital is already closely linked with all of the partners in the region who would be coordinating and providing service. The criteria for clients to participate in the program match the type of clients who currently are admitted to our complex continuing care unit at RVH. This initiative will provide assistance to high-risk seniors in our community who have low incomes.”

“As well,” Ferguson said, “frail seniors in our community will receive service within their own home environments and remain within their home environment with the appropriate supports. And finally, the program has the potential of reducing the number of clients in our acute care beds at RVH,” she said.

Ferguson said that the program will give priority to seniors waiting for discharge from hospital; clients in long-term care facilities who could be discharged; seniors in the community; and seniors visiting the Emergency Department frequently.

St. Joseph’s Catholic High School has started a new club, the Glee Club. This consists of a group of students who come together to share their talents of singing and dancing to different genres of music.

Initiated as a result of the popular television series Glee, the SJHS Glee Club is made up of students from Grades 8 to 12, and is facilitated by Mrs. Mary Ellen Vice and student Jon LeGris.

The club’s first performance will be on Nov. 11, during the school Remembrance Day ceremony in our gymnasium.

They will be singing a John Lennon song Imagine – a song of peace.

Also, our Grade 11/12 drama class will perform a small skit themed Remembrance Day. For Halloween, staff and students showed their spirit by dressing in costume, or orange and black.

At lunch time, our prom committee held a haunted house in our outdoor portable classroom.

OCTOBER 28, 1970 CONCERN VOICED OVER STORE HOURS: There’s another storm brewing over store hours in Renfrew. Retail merchants chairman Len Abbott reported to the Chamber of Commerce Thursday that Stedman’s have been a consistent offender of the Monday closing “gentlemen’s agreement”. A telephone call from Mayor Haramis resulted in the store closing for a week.

Mr. Abbott didn’t think the local manager should be blamed for the lack of co-operation. “He follows policy dictated by head office — like we all do.” Mr. Abbott asked the support of the C and C to settle the matter. “We should go one way or the other.” Chamber of Commerce president Len Quilty directed the retail merchants to hold a meeting and settle the issue. The decision regarding store hours would then be presented to town council for action.

HYDRO WORKERS RECEIVE AWARD: Six members of the Renfrew Hydro Electric Commission were presented with Awards for Meritorious Action recently by the Electrical Utilities Safety Association of Ontario, for their efforts in saving a local woman from drowning in the Bonnechere River. Presented with the awards were: Doug Letang, Ron McGee, Victor Sroka, Art Toner, Gordon Boal and Ken Dick.

God took him home, it was His will, But in our hearts we love him still; His memory is a dear today As in the hour he passed away.

A flower not fading nor falling apart, If you’re cold, let my love make you warm.

Rose of my heart.

We’re the best partners this world’s ever seen, Together as close as can be.

But sometimes it’s hard to find time in between, To tell you what you mean to me.

When sorrow holds you in its arms of clay, It’s rain drops that fall from your eyes.

Your smile’s like the sun come to earth for a day, You brighten my blackest of skies.

So hard times or easy times, what do I care, There’s nothing I’d change if I could.

The tears and the laughter are things that we share, Your hand in mine makes it good.

Rose of my heart.
