UNITED WAY HITS THE HALFWAY MARK The 2010 United Way Campaign in Renfrew County has hit the mid-point.

The campaign is now aiming for its self-described ‘ambitious’ target of $425,000 by Touchdown on Dec. 9.

“The needs of people in the county are increasing so it is vitally important that we reach this goal,” says David Studham, executive director for the Renfrew County United Way.

Sights set on new library Strategic plan says lack of space threatens its future LUCY HASS lucy.hass@metroland.com

A Renfrew Public Library strategic plan says limited space threatens its future, and a new building and parking lot are needed.

Monday night library chair Lynda Janney walked council through the plan, its process and projections.

Janney said a new building is “way down the road; not going to happen in the next year or five years,” but planning needs to begin now.

She said the library will need a bigger building, on a bigger lot, in a central location.

The strategic plan calls for an examination of library space requirements and the creation of a position paper on the need for land and a new library building.

The report also recommends the board keep council informed on this issue, begin planning for a new building, start enhancing the library’s visibility, and seek partnering and marketing opportunities.

The new library board chair and deputy chair will meet with mayorelect Bill Ringrose to discuss ways to improve communication with council, and secure representation at council meetings.

To that end, the township has adopted a recycling plan to improve its recycling rate.

At council’s Nov. 3 regular meeting, treasurer Annette Louis reported that Admaston-Bromley received CIP grants totalling $33,400 to create and adopt the document.

“This plan will allow us to receive more funds through our annual Waste Diversion Ontario (WDO) grant monies for waste diversion,” Louis told council.

Council received a $5,000 grant for promotion and education, and another $13,400 to construct upgrades at the Stone Road transfer station.

Improvements at the site were showcased in a Power Point presentation at council.

Major changes include a new traffic flow pattern to prevent lineups, and facilities to make waste easier to handle by dumping garbage down rather than lifting up.

Before, on busy days, traffic would line up almost to the highway. Now vehicles travel in a loop.

“In addition to this plan, Grant McNulty attended a one-week course at Carleton University, provided

by CIF, on the fundamentals of blue box recycling.

This course will also increase our WDO funding for 2011,” Louis said.

As Louis explained, municipal funding is based on proactivity, percentage of recycling and costs.

In 2010 Admaston-Bromley Township received $19,447.32 from WDO. “Over the next four years municipalities who have completed a plan and have taken the prescribed courses will see this amount continually increase by at least 12 per cent,” Louis said. MuLUCY HASS

Councillor Jack Kelly introduced the motion, passed unanimously by council, to adopt the waste recycling plan.

When love is not enough

Library

New website created by Canadian Parents of Murdered Children STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Life will never be the same for Susan Love of Renfrew.

Her only child was murdered in Halifax three years ago. One man is already serving a life sentence for second-degree murder, while another man still faces charges related to the death of Phillip Love, 34, in January 2007.

Some days, Love can barely find the words to express what it means to be without her child.

She is consoled by the fact several of his organs were donated, including his heart to save a New Brunswick man’s life. But that’s not nearly enough.

Nothing ever will be, says Love.

But something has happened in the last year that should help with the healing of her heart, and the heart of many others whose child has been murdered.

At least, that’s a major goal of the new website just completed by the Canadian Parents of Murdered Children (CPOMC) and Survivors of Homicide Victims.

CPOMC’s executive members include Love. Other founding members are chairman Yvonne Harvey and husband Gary Lindfield of Carleton Place, whose only child, 28-year-old Chrissy, was also murdered in January 2007.

One of the board’s small core of advisors is Sharon Rosenfeldt, whose son was killed by serial killer Clifford Olson.

The new website is http:\\ cpomc.ca, where numerous links can be found. Examples are information on the birth of CPOMC, guidelines for support meetings, profiles of CPOMC board members, and survivor support information in such categories as How Do We Grieve?,

Sharing With Others, and Problems Commonly Experienced by Survivors of Homicide Victims.

There’s also a list of more than 50 recommended readings, Canadian parents’ stories of their murdered children, as well as an online forum of sharing, caring and hope geared to many kinds of survivors of murdered family members.

The forum’s more than 30 categories include grandparents grief, spousal grief, getting through the holidays, coping with anniversaries and birthdays, dealing with guilt, a sibling’s grief, courtroom experiences, plea bargaining, surviving the first year, and a place for grieving children to talk to other children.

As the website points out: “It is impossible to expect anyone, who has not been directly impacted by the act of murder to understand the enormous grief, the immense anger, and the

depth of hopelessness that those of us feel who have experienced such a life-changing, traumatic event.”

After discovering the American organization, Parents of Murdered Children (POMC) and Other Survivors of Homicide Victims, Yvonne Harvey began attending their meetings in Florida.

As indicated on the website, Harvey says she experienced a powerful sense of hope, healing and understanding when she attended PMOC’s national conference in 2009.

Subsequently, Harvey helped found Canadian Parents of Murdered Children. Another founding member, Love, says she will spend more time supporting the website when she retires in the near future.

The website’s focus is on support and guidance. “Oh, if I had this (website) the first year (after Phillip’s death),” said Love.

“I had no one to talk to who knew the horror I was going through. There were many days I thought I was going crazy and I didn’t know if I was supposed to feel this way.”

But she says she began to get answers after hearing Harvey during an interview on CJOH. Meetings to form CPOMC followed, and on Oct. 30, 2010 the Canadian Parents of Murdered Children website was officially launched with financial support from the Department of Justice Canada – Victims Fund.

There was “no national organization in Canada dedicated to the provision of on-going, lifelong support to parents and survivors of murder victims” until the creation of CPOMC in October 2009, says the website.

“Most provinces offer victim services, which are mandated to support and provide guidance to the survivors throughout the judicial process. CPOMC’s mission is to fill the gap that exists after the judicial process is finished.”

Hope springs from the website’s first page, with alternative images of murdered children appearing on the home page. Those images include Phillip Love and the quotation by author Richard Bach: “What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.”

In other words, the creators of the website hope it offers some level of freedom for those who have lost a family member to homicide.

The website also promotes CPOMC’s own support meetings.

They take place the first Monday of every month at a west-end Ottawa church.

For more details, visit the CPOMC website, e-mail admin@ cpomc.ca or phone 613-492-1978.

Continued from front The library’s immediate needs include a new library system (an inventory system to replace the current one described in the strategic plan as antiquated), new carpeting and an improved circulation desk, Janney told council.

The report also describes the library’s human resources as “strained” and recommends the board review the viability of a new or improved phone system, and the viability of installing a new self-check-out system.

TOWNSHIP FUNDING Janney also noted a lack of representative funding from neighbouring townships; something she described as “an imbalance in the funds being received and the people using the library.”

The new library board will write a position paper on township funding and prepare recommendations to discuss with the new mayor and council in 2011.

CEO and chief librarian Bettijane O’Neill meanwhile will examine the space requirements for a new building and study what new buildings in similar-sized communities look like and how they function.

Janney said the library board and town council “need good communication to meet the goal of building a new library.”

After the presentation, there were no questions from the current council which holds its final meeting later this month.

“This is an important document you’ll want to hold onto,” Mayor Sandi Heins told her fellow council members. Heins steps down from the mayor’s chair Nov. 30. Councillor Kate Windle, who was defeated in the race for reeve by incumbent Audrey Green, was not present at Monday’s regular meeting.

PRECIOUS PETS GROOMING SALON

Record-breaking building stats in Horton Township STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

So much for the worries that tripling Horton’s development charges in 2008 would stall new construction.

It’s been a great year for construction in Horton Township, and not just because of the new headquarters for George Jackson Toyota on Garden of Eden Road.

The construction scene features records of $11.443 million in new construction and $63,503 in development charges (including severances), and a near-record 73 building permits. All those numbers are up to the end of October. Building starts in October featured three homes valued at $200,000 or more.

The record of 80 building permits happened in 2006, when the township’s highest number of permits was 16 for the month of May. This year, a high of 16 permits was issued in July.

In the last six years, Horton

has had more than 70 building permits five times. The only exception was 2007, with 66. Typically there is a small handful of building starts in November and December, so the 2006 figure may yet fall.

Of the more than $11 million in construction value, about $4 million is attributed to the new Toyota building.

“Nevertheless,” says Mayor Bob Johnston, “it’s exhilarating.”

The previous record for construction value was $7.99 million in 2005. Last year was close, with $7.68 million.

The construction boom is happening despite Horton’s increase of former residential development fees from $1,000 to $3,122.

The fees are used to help pay for township infrastructure.

Horton’s record for total value of building permits should also fall.

As of Oct. 31, the value of building permits was $39,420, compared to a high of $39,615 in 2005.

Request denied to stop spreading treated septage in Horton Pilot project will continue, insists outgoing mayor STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Sheri Sexton, who fell 39 votes shy of being elected to Horton council, returned to the council chambers Nov. 2 to ask the township to stop its lime stabilization-septage pilot project.

Specifically, she asked Horton council to stop its scheduled autumn spreading of treated septage until more information became available about the potential harm of spreading it on agricultural fields.

The request didn’t come to a council vote. Mayor Bob Johnston, who was overseeing his final council meeting before retiring from municipal politics, basically told the Sextons that council was going to pursue the pilot project that has been in the works for about two years.

Johnston also reminded the Sextons and the other two members of the public present, Victor Berard and Cindy Reid, that council arranged for government officials to provide information about the science of lime stabilization treatments back in the spring of 2008.

Johnston went on to say that certain people present at that session weren’t interested in hearing what was being presented.

Johnston’s reference was to the demonstration in front of the community centre where Cindy Reid used a tractor to dump manure-stained hay at the entrance.

About a year later, she pleaded guilty to mischief charges laid by the Ontario Provincial Police.

“There are correct ways to do things and there are incorrect ways to do things. I’ll leave it there,” Justice Jane Wilson told Reid in a 2009 ruling before granting Reid an absolute discharge.

Johnston also explained to the Sextons that the Province told the township (and others across Ontario) in January 2007 to find a treated solution for septage or risk losing its right to grant residents building permits.

time to present a healthier alternative to lime stabilization.

“I suggest we don’t do this,” Johnston quickly responded.

“We’re getting in a position where we have to proceed within the next couple of weeks (or risk putting off the project until after the 2010 spring thaw),” added Johnston, indicating that stoppage would jeopardize the project.

In fact, the township was scheduled to have two spreadings this year, but technological and approval delays prevented the first scheduled spreading in the spring or summer, says township CAO Mackie McLaren.

Meanwhile, ground freeze-up would prevent any spreading of the township’s first treated septage, said Johnston.

“I’m going to pray for the ground to freeze,” responded Ms Sexton.

Johnston indicated that lime stabilization is used in several American jurisdictions. Sexton countered by saying it has been banned in Europe.

She also expressed concerns about the smell of the treated septage, to which Johnston said there will be little smell at all, partly because the septage is

By pursuing the pilot project, Deputy Mayor Bob Hall said the township decided “to be part of a solution” for treated septage disposal in Ontario.

Council members also indicated that testing will determine how safe the treated septage is.

treated septage stored in the holding tanks, is five times less toxic than horse and cow manure.

The mayor also said the tanks sit on a clay base that provides one form of containment.

Horton’s plan is for ministry officials to be on hand for a Nov. 15 morning spread on farmer Tom Reid’s property.

This week was to be spent doing ‘dummy’ spreadings of water by township staff to ensure the spreading and transfer equipment is ship-shape.

Stratford-based nutrient management specialist Michael Payne of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural and Brian Dickman of the Ministry of Environment are scheduled to attend the spreading.

About 8,000 gallons of untreated septage sit in each of two 10,000-gallon tanks. The same septage must be treated seven days or less before its spread date.

Horton’s lime treatment is scheduled to be done Friday, Nov. 12.

Remember

Remembering our veterans

like each year, holiI tdayseems and Christmas decora-

tions come out sooner and sooner.

As November rolls out, red, white and green decorations are beginning to go up in some stores while bright holiday ads are popping up everywhere.

When you see the colour red this month, take some time to associate it with something more important than planning out Christmas and holiday shopping: the poppy.

November is a time to look back and remember those who fought for our country overseas in numerous battles.

Some came home while others made the ultimate sacrifice.

The goal of Veterans’ Week is to challenge Canadians to make remembrance more than something they feel – to make it something they do.

While November is known as the month to remember military service, our veterans should not be forgotten the other 11 months of the year.

Morning car rides without the magic Sept. 7 represented the end of an era, one that I will never forget.

That morning, my son stood waiting with me for the bus and the start of something he’d never done before − attend elementary school all five weekdays.

There would be no more every second day at school, with every other day at day care.

And so we stand at the end of the driveway most mornings doing whatever. If the car’s parked there, we may play hide-and-seek around it. When the snow banks come, we will scale them.

If there’s nothing special going on, we may take turns skipping back and forth across the quiet county road.

Most weekday mornings, my car rides to work are virtual carbon copies for the last half-hour.

I may take side roads to avoid school buses, but otherwise it’s just a quiet

STEVE NEWMAN STEVE’S SIXTH SENSE ride interrupted by a stop at the Douglas grocery store for the cheapest, best cup of coffee in the area.

And it is a quiet ride, since I rarely play the radio at that time of the day, preferring to hear the CBC news, weather or other programming during the afternoon or evening ride home.

What’s not the same about the rides, anymore, is the first 15 minutes.

For the last three years, I have been entertained, tested, questioned, and occasionally criticized by a three-, four- or five-year-old sitting in the back seat during that time.

Aidan asked questions and I tried to provide the answers. He’d tell me what

he did with his friends. He’d tell me the other name for Wilber Lake, as we passed it.

Some weeks, I learned more about his life during that drive into Eganville. And if I didn’t learn much then, perhaps it occurred after walking into the day care centre, often hand-inhand. There I would sit in a mini-chair watching him interact for a few minutes with his companions.

It was a break in the morning. It was a chance to see him outside his home zone and learn more about who my son was becoming.

But that 15 or 20 minutes of opportunity has now disappeared, and I’m poorer for it.

Connecting with my son is as important as anything, so that will have to happen other times. And happen it will, now that those morning rides have lost their magic.

Red is my favourite colour. It’s the colour of life, of death, and everything in between. It’s the colour of poppies, and of remembering. And for all Canadians, there are things we should never forget.

We did not get to where we are – free, outspoken, and safe – without sacrifice. Men and women, some no more than children, fought to keep Canada truly strong and free. Freedom of speech, religion, beliefs; all are gifts that we should be thankful for. In some places, people don’t even have the right to live.

When you wear a poppy, what do you think of ?

Do you look down and note the pretty colour, then go on with your day, completely oblivious to it afterwards?

I used to wear my poppy year-round, and then somebody told me it was disrespectful. I don’t know why. I wore it, and I was proud to wear it, because it showed how I was so thankful to be Canadian, and that I hadn’t forgotten or taken my life for granted. And I met a lot of veterans, and none of them ever said a word.

I think that sometimes truth gets lost with convention. We’re used to wearing a poppy maybe one entire week out of the year.

Therefore, one might assume that to wear it any other time is sacrilegious. But why? We should never forget, whether one day or the entire year.

Our soldiers didn’t all die on one day. They didn’t all die in one war. They went through living torture every day for years; days where they watched their friends die or agonized about their own demise. They struggled with uncertainty, hopelessness, doubt, and unbearable suffering.

Things that most would agree no human being should have to go through.

And lots of us forget about that. We gripe and groan about our own lives – about the car we don’t have, the crush that won’t look our way, etc – but we never really think to be grateful for the lives we live. If the wars had turned out differently, maybe we’d be the suffering citizens of a wartorn country, living in fear every day of our lives.

Maybe we’d be the worn and weary soldiers, fighting a battle that might end this very day for us.

So why should we only remember their bravery one day out of the entire year? That’s like going to church one day every week and then forgetting God the other six days.

No, remembrance and gratitude should follow us every day of our lives.

Thank you, veterans, and thank you, soldiers, for fighting for us. You are worthy of remembrance, today and every day for the rest of our lives.

Grateful for support over the years

To the editor: I, Robert Debeau was involved with Scouting in Renfrew and area for more than 30 years, sometimes holding four or five different positions.

The last 10 years I spent looking after Camp Legewade, and as property manager bringing it to a level where everyone wanted to camp there.

The first 28-and-a half years I was proud to wear the Scout uniform and serve Scouting in any capacity I could.

The last year and a half, however, brought changes and this, in turn, caused a lot of mistrust and hurt on my part, especially from people I considered to be close friends.

As a result of some people and their quest to control everything to do with Renfrew Scouting, I am now no longer the property manager at Camp Legewade and Scouts Canada has removed me from registration in Scouting.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the companies, businesses and individuals who have helped me over the last 10 years at Camp Legewade. Your help and loyalty mean a lot to me.

Thank you again for you past support and loyalty.

Robert E. Debeau Renfrew

Can’t afford pool

To the editor: The municipal election is over but with many regrets.

In his address on television, Mr. (Bill) Ringrose did not mention a swimming pool or ice pad.

Mr. Guyea and Mr. Janney both mentioned the swimming pool and they both lost out. Wasn’t that saying something? They spoke plain English.

We cannot afford a pool. There are so many people, like seniors with low income, and those who have no jobs and sometimes living on employment insurance.

Why should I have to pay for someone else’s recreation when I can’t afford it for myself, and this goes for many people.

A pool will drive many of us out of our homes for taxes will go up when it is built and again for the upkeep, and forever.

I also don’t think people who have to be paid to run in council should be allowed to run.

I feel the ones who pay out money to those who run are looking for favours and I don’t like it. I also see a conflict of interest and it should be looked into.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Mayor Johnston presents statement of facts on rumour controversy To the editor: Thanks to Mercury reporter Steve Newman for his coverage of my recent farewell address. Understanding the paper’s space constraints, as retiring Mayor of Horton Township, I feel that a further statement of facts must be presented to the electorate of Horton Township. I am presenting this summary of factual evidence concerning a councillor on Horton Council.

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.

This man and his business (including some 28 men and women employees) are valued members of Horton Township and surrounding communities.

Throughout his many years of dedicated service on council he has given many thousands of dollars of “in-kind” services to the township of Horton.

I can assure you that this council did not in any way direct any tendered contracts to this individual. He has tendered all of these contracts strictly within the accepted “conflict of interest” rules set down by the Municipal Act and council as required by this act approved these contracts.

In all of the contracts that were awarded to his company his lowest tender saved many thousands of taxpayer dollars for this township. Just to name two instances I will present the following: 1. The Thompson Road Culvert Replacement Project. His company’s lowest tender of $79,422.00 was $8,453.00 less than the next lowest tender.

2. The Horton Hockey Rink. His tender of $41,405.20 was considerably lower than the second tender of $103,964.80.

I will list some of his in-kind services to our township as follows: (a) Paid his employees to set up the tent for Remembrance Day each year as a service so that we were able to hold this service as an honor to our war dead directly in front of our monument. (No charge.) (b) For many years he has set up his bounce castle and a tent for the children at our annual Canada Day Breakfast. (No charge.) (c) He saw the need for a PA system at the new community centre and subsequently purchased a state-of-the-art system (purchased in Renfrew.) He has personally set this system up and made it available for fundraisers, public meetings, all candidates meetings, etc. (No charge.) (d) At the time of construction of the new community centre he submitted a bill of $38,580.00 of “in-kind”construction equipment.

He was issued a cheque by the township for this amount and then kindly returned the full amount in a cheque payable to the Township of Horton, which was then able to be incorporated into the Super Build Federal Grant program, which resulted

in an additional 34 per cent return to the township ($13,117.20 extra funds for Horton). (e) He was very instrumental in developing our Government of Ontario Pilot Program of Septage. 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 under funding, 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 employee regulations for working inside the enclosed tanks, as well as reimbursement for equipment that was 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.) (f) When council decided we should have township signs erected on Highway 17, he and most of council along with a few volunteers went out on a couple of Saturdays and with his hoe-ram and skid-steer auger erected these signs. (No charge.)

There have been many more township services provided above and beyond the call-of-duty. This businessman has also provided many in-kind services to other events in the surrounding area. To name a few: • He has provided, along with many other businesses and individuals, a number of in-kind donations to the Valley Bluegrass Festival. Namely, five tents each year for eight years, a semi-trailer converted into a washroom and shower trailer, gravel donations etc. (No charge.)

• Renfrew County Plowing Match. A large tent set up by his company for the comfort of exhibitors for at least the past five years. (No charge.)

• The Renfrew Fair. Demolition Derby set-up equipment and removal of equipment (diesel fuel charge only). Also, a tent provided and set up to cover bleachers for the Valley Stage. (No charge.)

• Recent Taste of the Valley at Cobden Agricultural Grounds. Provided and set up a large tent for exhibitors. (No charge.)

This man, who was recently awarded Business Man of the Year, namely Dave Bennett, could potentially suffer financial and personal loss due to the absolute false rumours bandied about by the various gossip clubs and individuals in this community.

As a lifetime resident and volunteer in Horton Township, I will not stand by and see this man and his valued employees being questioned as to their honesty and integrity. They have been a very valued asset to our community.

I want to publicly thank those of you who agree with me in these matters and I must only feel sorry for those of you who are willing to sit back and were taken in by and subsequently made part of, the false rumour gossip groups.

I hope these individuals are able to live with their conscience.

Sincerely, Robert A. Johnston Mayor of Horton Township

Antle presents tongue-in-cheek speech at Toastmasters competition FRAN WATSON

Renfrew Toastmasters

Things are not always what they seem. Shea Antle treated the members of Valley Vintage to her tongue-incheek humourous contest-winning speech recently.

Antle expressed her views on how the animal population is trying to take over to make human beings extinct.

She described the various cunning techniques that they employ – the turtle (endangered) crossing the road, the porcupine, the skunk, the hopping toads in the rain and of course … the moose in battle armour standing in the middle of the road to do battle with whatever vehicle comes along.

Antle competed in the Division B Contest in Ottawa on Saturday, Oct. 16.

Lynne Zander of the Valley Vintage Toastmasters Club placed second in the division evaluation contest – English and first in the French Evaluation Contest.

Bonnechere Manor auditorium STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

An extensive fundraising campaign to bring an auditorium to Bonnechere Manor kicked off almost a year ago on a cold February day.

Since then, there has been such a heartwarming response that construction on the new auditorium is already underway.

However, costs for the facility will be closer to $1 million than the original estimate of about $750,000.

Therefore contributions by the Bonnechere Manor Foundation are no longer set at $324,166, but $424,000, plus requested costs for a sound system and furnishings.

The foundation finds itself about $8,000 shy of its original fundraising goal, but the County of Renfrew, which operates the long-term care home, has asked the foundation raise its additional $100,000 share over the next three years.

With that time frame in mind, Bonnechere Manor community relations coordinator Robyn Arseneau says the fundraising push won’t be as hard as it was earlier this year.

Nevertheless, November will be busy on the fundraising front.

There will be two Christmas craft shows. The first is at the AFAC Wing Nov. 19 and 20, while the manor hosts its own show Friday, Nov. 26.

The manor is also selling ornaments, at $20 apiece, for the tree standing in the manor’s great hall.

The shatter-resistant ornaments will have the contributor’s name engraved, while the contributor can also pick up the ornament after the Christmas season for reuse.

There are other November fundraisers, too. Money Concepts is hosting a sold-out dinner theatre at which AFT Players is presenting Come Blow Your

Horn Nov. 20 in the Renfrew Recreation Centre.

November’s last fundraiser is a Saturday, Nov. 27 Christmas cheer program on Valley Heritage Radio.

That morning, people can call in with song requests and a donation.

The foundation increased its fundraising totals in a busy 2010 as a barbecue and telethon raised a whopping total of about $158,000.

Another $1,072 came from a looney-toonie walk, while six recent donors helped financial matters.

Those donors were the Young Performers’ recital contribution of $1,320, the Royal Bank of Canada book sale proceeds of $170, $200 from Admaston-Bromley’s Ward 3 and 4 recreation committee car rally, $750 from the Lochwinnoch Women’s Institute, and $1,000 from both St. Paul’s Anglican Church and the RenfrewArnprior Canadian Martyrs Assembly Knights of Columbus.

“Obviously, the community sees this as a really important project,” says Arseneau.

“We can’t wait for it to open.

We wouldn’t have construction already started if it wasn’t for the support of the community.”

The manor is also encouraging the public to keep tabs on the progress of the auditorium’s construction by M. Sullivan & Son. The steel-framed foundation is expected to go up in December, while visitors and residents can watch the project’s progress from a second-storey viewing window.

The manor is also hoping to conduct auditorium tours early in the new year, prior to its anticipated official opening in April.

Other major contributors to the project, over and above donations through the Bonnechere Manor Foundation, are the City of Pembroke and the County of Renfrew.

Eyeing more classy Clydesdale results, at Royal Winter Fair STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Toronto’s Royal Agricultural Winter Fair is called the world’s largest indoor gathering of agricultural and international equestrian competition, with more than 300,000 visitors each year.

So it’s nice to be part of the action, say Ray and Kerry McLaughlin of McLaughlin Clydesdales in Haley Station.

“It’s one of the best shows there is.

There’s guys who come from Scotland just to see the Royal,” says Ray, who’s competing this year with his Clydesdales in the six- and four-horse hitch.

Kerry, 36, is also competing, but it may be hard to beat the family’s earlier-season accomplishment of finishing first in the North American Classic standings for the six-horse hitch.

That was also the first time an Ottawaarea entry has finished in the top four.

Competition continues at this week’s Royal Winter Fair in Toronto, where the North American Classic’s top-four finishers are competing.

Ray, who’s in his early 60s, clinched the North American overall title by placing third at this year’s Shawville Fair, with his Clydesdale team of Marty, Wes, Mac, WW (Wes from the West), Bob and Luke.

Horses were always part of the McLaughlin family, when Ray, one of three children, grew up in the area. His dad, William John, was a farmer whose work included hauling wood by horse into Renfrew in the 1930s.

As a youngster, Ray also recalls the family’s first showing, of a Pinto mare.

She was ridden to the Cobden Fair and back home again that night.

For more than 20 years, Ray showed quarter-horses under the banner of McLaughlin Quarter Horses, before making the switch to Clydesdales less than a decade ago.

The large, handsome horses have now become the virtual signature for McLaughlin Haulage Ltd., the family trucking business of nine full-time drivers and part-time staff.

“Right now I really feel McLaughlin Clydesdales are the out-front ambassadors for our trucking company,” says Kerry, who won this year’s ladies cart in Calgary and Rockton, Ont., with Mac. She also fared well in other shows, including second in cart and ladies team for Clydesdales, to emerge as the Milwaukee show’s best lady driver.

Her three daughters are also keen. Hailey, 6, walks around the stables with a big smile, while Brook, 13, and Mickerra, 12, are now competing in junior cart classes.

“I love it, it’s fun,” says Mickerra.

She and Brook also had decent showings at the Navan and Shawville shows this year.

“It’s nerve-wracking,” admits Kerry, their in-cart adult companion. “It’s different when you don’t have control of those lines.”

For several years, Ray volunteered to haul local 4-H competitors stock to the Royal Winter Fair.

Meanwhile, work continued with the quarter-horses, then the Clydesdales, as Ray’s wife, Darlene, played a big part in their success.

“Mom always helped out,” says Kerry.

“She was always the behind-the-scenes person, doing all the organizing and the entries.”

But she died in 2007, before Ray and Kerry showed their Clydesdales for the first time at the Royal Winter Fair.

Meanwhile, it remains very much a family affair. “It’s a group effort by everyone,” explains Kerry.

But the best part may be the interaction with the animals.

“The (number) of people who have never touched a horse before is unbelievable,” says Kerry, noting the pleasure people experience when they get that first chance, but a pleasure the McLaughlins experience every day.

“Ours are truly these gentle giants,” says Kerry. “They are quiet. Each one of our horses is almost like a child, with their own personality.”

Other Renfrew County residents off to the Royal Winter Fair include fourth-generation farmer Reuben Stone of Stone Farms/Valley Bio Ltd. in Cobden.

Last year he won a premiere award for his hemp cookies, and he’s back this year selling hemp oil, seeds and cookies at the Eastern Ontario Pavilion.

While Stone Farm has cattle and other cash crops, 250 acres of hemp means the farm’s No. 1 money maker is hemp.

Stone Farms is among 17 vendors at

Fundraiser to help pay for Hunter’s liberation procedure STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Renfrew resident and Renfrew Royal Canadian Legion member Bob Hunter, who has multiple sclerosis, is joined by fundraising organizer Leanne Stubinski. A Nov. 20 fundraiser will take place to help him pay expenses for an expensive liberation procedure in Central America.

The jury is out on whether Dr. Paolo Zamboni’s liberation procedure will provide a major solution for sufferers of multiple sclerosis, including Bob Hunter of Renfrew.

But Hunter is headed to Costa Rica this January, with wife Judy, to undergo the procedure at an estimated cost of more than $15,000.

It creates a financial hardship for the Hunters, but Leanne Stubinski, Renfrew Royal Canadian Legion bartender and long-time branch member, is organizing a Nov. 20 fundraiser for the couple.

When she heard about the Hunters’ plans, she called Judy to see that it was okay to organize the fundraiser.

Much positive press has been followed by several European studies that have poured cold water on the procedure that first publicized about a year ago. Meanwhile, the Saskatchewan government has committed $5 million to clinical trials on the vein-widening procedure initially proposed by Italian vascular surgeon Zamboni.

Hundreds, if not thousands, of patients have travelled outside Canada, to such countries as Bulgaria, Poland and Mexico, for the procedure since it was first publicized. Websites are also full of postings by people who have undergone the surgery and are reporting signifi-

cant improvements.

Hunter, whose MS was diagnosed 15 years ago, worked in hardware sales across eastern Ontario, but doesn’t work now. He’s confined to a wheelchair, but is cheerful and displays a sense of humour.

He moved with his wife and two boys, then seven and 12, to Renfrew about 25 years ago.

Hunter recently underwent vascular testing in Barrie, Ont., to see if he qualified for the liberation procedure.

His surgery is scheduled for Jan. 11 in Costa Rica.

Dr. Zamboni, of Italy, says multiple sclerosis is related to narrowed veins in the neck and spine, a condition that he has coined CCSVI (chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency). Now research projects are underway, including one between the University of Saskatchewan and the University of British Columbia, to investigate the relationship between CCSVI and MS. Zamboni says the veins draining from the brain are malformed or blocked, resulting in a buildup of iron in the brain that causes neurological symptoms.

In the Journal of Vascular Surgery, Zamboni said 50 per cent of MS patients had no attacks in the 18 months following his procedure.

Hunter calls himself a private person who doesn’t like to broadcast family matters in the public. But he says he ap-

preciates the efforts of those spearheading the fundraiser.

“Your family is always affected by it (multiple sclerosis) … It creates problems if you let it get to you,” admits Hunter, who used to play hockey and officiate local games.

He’s also a Renfrew Junior B Timberwolves executive member who says he hopes to be more active following the procedure.

“I once had a tremendous vocabulary,” adds the 65-year-old. “It affects your thought process.”

The various definitions of MS include a chronic disease of the brain and spinal cord characterized by changes in sensation, visual problems, weakness, depression, difficulties with coordination and speech, impaired mobility and disability.

“It’s not just me that wants to do this for Bob,” says Stubinski.

“It’s other members of the community, too, including members of the Rusty Blades. A lot of people want to help out.”

Food and entertainment is being provided free for the Saturday, Nov. 20 fundraising dance. The doors open at 7 p.m.

Entertainment starts at 8 p.m. The $10 admission tickets are available from the Legion, Rusty Blades or at the door.

The Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada estimates about 65,000 Canadians have MS.

BUSINESS

10TH ANNIVERSARY Members of Employment Networks gather for 10th anniversary celebrations in their Renfrew office. The private organization offers onestop employment network through the employment services network launched by the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities in August. The Renfrew office has more than 6,000 clients on its data base, which links employers with potential clients and offers the general public job searches and other labour market information.

From left, in the front row, are service director Susan Peacock Agnel, information technologist Lloyd Keagan and employment counsellor Michael McConnachie; back row, service administrator Bernice Agnew, and employment counsellors Sheri Primeau, Annette Miller and Fran Watson. “We’re very proud of our 10 years of service that has now provided us the opportunity to work more directly with employers,” said director Peacock.

Revera Inc. announces decision to acquire Comcare Limited Revera Inc., a leading North American provider of seniors’ accommodation, care and services, has entered into an agreement to acquire Comcare Limited, one of Canada’s largest home care providers.

Once the acquisition is complete, Revera’s home care division will employ approximately 4,600 people, with operations in 29 cities, in seven provinces, and is expected to provide services to more than 5,400 clients every week.

Renfrew is among the communities now served by Comcare.

“The combination of Comcare and Revera is an exceptional fit, uniting two respected players in home care,” said Jeff Lozon, President and CEO, Revera Inc. “Revera is dedicated to being the pre-eminent provider of seniors’ services in Canada, and this acquisition is a major step in moving this strategy forward,: said Lozon.

The Canadian Home Care Association estimates there has

been a 51 per cent increase in the number of home care recipients over the past decade, and that one million Canadians now receive publicly-funded home care each year. By 2017, it is estimated the number of seniors with chronic conditions requiring home care services will increase by onethird.

“Delivering in-home care and services is becoming an increasingly vital part of Canadian health care – one that provides clients with options to receive care where they want it and when they need it,” said Patricia Barbato, senior vice president of home health and business development, Revera Inc. “The combined strength of our two companies will enable us to offer clients a variety of services – from nursing to rehabilitation, to personal and home support,” Barbato said.

The acquisition is expected to close in early January and is subject to customary regulatory approvals.

Getting WILD at the Peaks Calabogie Peaks Resort has enjoyed its share of television time over the years, but the exposure they will receive from an Oct. 30 shoot is definitely of a different nature.

A crew from the WILD TV Hunting and Fishing Network was at Dickson Manor to film a future episode of the hunting-cooking program called The Heeb ’n Rob Show which will air in January.

The show highlights a rivalry between a couple of good buddies. One, Erik Kafrissen, known as Heeb, is a professional chef who knows little about hunting.

The other, Rob Prevost, is an avid outdoorsman who knows little about cooking.

With the hunting portion of the show taped earlier, Calabogie Peaks was the host of the cooking portion.

As three area judges – Richard White of Renfrew, and Calabogie’s Kim McKinty and John Allerton awaited – Heeb and Rob, the latter assisted by Peaks chef Andrea Leduc, cooked up a venison dish.

In a vote of 2-to-1, the tandem of Rob and chef Andrea claimed the WILD Cup. An enthusiastic crowd at Dickson Manor was on hand to wit ness the event. “Our travels have taken us all

Raiders in the hunt for two Renfrew County titles PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

Two Renfrew Collegiate Raiders teams are chasing Renfrew County championships today.

The senior girls basketball and junior boys volleyball teams are both looking to add 2010 banners to the walls at the Grant Gymnasium.

The senior girls defeated the visiting Opeongo Wildcats 55-31 in Tuesday’s semifinal, thus earning the right to host the Arnprior Redmen today in what should be another classic battle of longtime school rivals at 4:30 p.m.

Ten different Raiders etched their numbers onto the scoresheet versus Opeongo, led by Caitlin Dougherty’s 12 points. Mae Donohue added 10, Maddy Kubiseski nine and Erika Jenkins six. Coaches Vicki Wilson and Adam Noack credited Sarah Dougherty with “a fantastic game in the boards.” Dougherty also went six-for-seven from the foul line.

The Senior Raiders (8-and-1) completed the regular season and clinched first place at the same time with a 36-7 win over the Mackenzie Mustangs Nov. 2. Caitlin Dougherty had 14 points.

A potent Arnprior juggernaut defeated RCI 42-11 in Tuesday’s junior girls semifinal. Arnprior sailed through the regular season allowing only 104 points against in nine games, and held opponents to single digits five times.

The Junior Raiders rolled through the opening round of the UOVHSAA girls basketball playoffs with a 40-19 win over the General Panet Panthers last Thursday.

“We played really well,” coach Jason Wilson observed of the quarterfinal triumph. “We had a shut down defence and held (Panet’s) top scorer to four points.”

Courtney Miller led the Raiders with a 10-point effort. Adrienne Guty and Grace Stewart collected nine.

The junior squad topped the Mackenzie

Mustangs 37-20 to complete regular-season play in fourth place at 5-and-4 Nov. 2.

Guty had seven points, Stewart and Carly McHenry six.

BOYS VOLLEYBALL The Raiders outlasted the cross-town rival St. Joseph’s Jaguars in a thrilling five-set match in senior boys volleyball action Nov. 4 at St. Joseph’s.

In a final set tied most of the way up to 12-12, RCI broke free to net the final three points. Scores were 15-25, 25-18, 25-16, 2025 and 15-12.

RCI coach Dale Frew said it was a big win. It allowed his team to nail down second place, and home court against Arnprior and Mackenzie in the first round of the playoffs, of which the Raiders took advantage.

RCI swept both Arnprior and Mackenzie 3-0 Tuesday. Today, the Raiders are again taking on St. Joseph’s at noon in the Renfrew County semifinal in Petawawa.

The survivor meets the winner of the other semifinal featuring Arnprior and the top-seed General Panet Panthers this afternoon.

peter.clark@metroland.com

The St. Joseph’s Jaguars dropped a tough 15-12 decision in the fifth set of their Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletics Association regular-season closing senior boys volleyball match to the Renfrew Collegiate Raiders Thursday.

However, the Jaguars will get another shot at their cross-town rivals in the playoffs.

Ten Raiders took to the peaks and valleys at the Ontario high school (OFSAA) cross-country championship Saturday in Etobicoke.

All were seniors with Rachel Folkema, Hillary MacMillan, Danielle Valliquette, Mikaela Barnes and Rachel Barr helping the senior girls to a 20th-place finish out of 38 teams. Folkema had the best RCI time of 20:27.05 for 5,000 metres.

Shawn Walters (24:05.04 over the 7,000metre course), Thomas Kellar, Colin Topping, Andrew Heaslip and John Andrews propelled the senior boys to 17th overall among 38 teams.

a thrilling 3-2 win over the Bishop Smith Crusaders kept the Jaguars 2010 UOVHSAA season alive for coach Trent Skelhorn’s squad.

The Jaguars advance to the Renfrew County semifinal in Petawawa today.

They and RCI will meet again at noon which guarantees a Renfrew team will be a part of the senior volleyball final.

The Junior Jaguars season ended Tuesday when they dropped 3-1 and 3-0 decisions to the Jeanne-Lajoie Chevaliers and host Arnprior Redmen.

See Page 23 for Jaguars playoff basketball results.

I’ve spent some time flipping through the pages of Renfrew resident Tom King’s ultimate hockey trivia book The Legendary Game.

I came across a few interesting tidbits.

• The Ottawa Silver Seven got their name after their players received silver coins to commemorate the team’s first Stanley Cup win in 1903. I always thought the name came from the sevenman hockey of the day.

• The NHL’s Pittsburgh Pirates relocated as the Philadelphia Quakers in 1930.

Today Pittsburgh and Philadelphia are among the league’s top rivalries.

• Informing the crowd of time remaining in a period was introduced in 1946-47 to help alleviate concession stand line-ups and traffic jams. It is hoped that soccer will adopt this idea some day.

• The New York Rangers once had a goaltender named Steve Buzinski. He was known as Steve ‘The Puck Goes Inski’ Buzinski.

• Gordie Howe had the biggest Christmas Day performance when he chalked up six points on the strength of a hat trick and three assists on Dec. 25, 1956

PETER CLARK PETER’S PUTTERINGS as the Red Wings routed the Rangers 8-1.

It was also the biggest one-game point splurge in No. 9’s NHL career.

And no, Steve Buzinski was not New York’s goaltender.

• The Legendary Game is Published by Trafford Publishing and is available at amazon.com or trafford.com for $24.95.

More on The Legendary Game appears in a future edition of the Mercury and currently at yourottawaregion.com * * * The two Major League franchises going longer without a World Series title than the San Francisco Giants before this year are the Cleveland Indians and the dear old Chicago Cubs.

The Tribe last won in 1948 while the cursed Cubs haven’t tasted glory in generations. Their most recent World Series title occurred in 1908.

Raiders: Senior football team’s 2010 season ends From Page 20 The Lanark-Renfrew High School Football League season came to an end for the Senior Raiders last Thursday.

The Raiders trailed only 20-15 when a fumbled punt with six minutes remaining spelled doom for RCI. The Arnprior Redmen tacked on a pair of late majors to win 33-15. Matt Sharpe registered all 15 points for RCI, which included two touchdowns.

Behind the Glass: Here come the Scots ANDY SKLEPOWICZ Renfrew Curling Rink

The Scots are coming! The Scots are coming!

What has become an annual cry these past few years announces the coming of the Scottish horde disguised as wily curlers and their support entourage. After laying waste to Arnprior on the morning of Nov. 13, the Scots will descend on Renfrew, to curl another four games in the afternoon and then lay claim to stores of good food and plenty of overflowing cheer as they order the pipers to play another bonny tune.

Preparing a special Valley welcome will be Gert Brydges and members of the Renfrew curling club. A feast will be made ready by master cooks Charlie Ricard and Helen Hayward and their helpers.

The curling club’s house band organized by Dave Rowat will provide foot stomping music ‘til the wee hours while Dwight Hayward and his barmen will be worn weary satisfying the thirsty crew.

If you would still like to join in on the fun give Gert a call for last minute dinner tickets or just join us for the curling and merriment anytime that day.

Over the years, Renfrew has come to be known as a must stop on any Scottish curling tour as our friends from across the ocean make a pilgrimage to enjoy the best curling country in the world.

The great curling, welcoming people and the best food on their vacations brings the Scots back again and again. And we love having them!

As for other news, the Renfrew senior ladies began their defence as Autumn Leaves champions in the same manner as the men in the Low Cup. The team of Yvonne Sklepowicz, Joan Hickey, Sandra Fredette, with Willy Lafrance and Barb Roy each playing one game, came back to steal their first game over the other Renfrew team of Barb Westgarth, Jane Hunter and Leith Collins with Anne MacNeil and Jean Klages splitting lead duties.

After a delicious lunch the ladies played their second games and kept it close in both games.

The Sklepowicz rink fell to Pembroke while the Westgarth foursome dropped a decision to Arnprior as some great shot making by the skips was not enough to pull the teams through.

A special thanks went out from all the ladies to the men who helped with serving lunch and cleaning up afterwards and finally being (put in their place) in the kitchen where they belong.

NOTICE OF PROCEEDING The Ontario Energy Board (the “Board”) has commenced a proceeding on its own motion to determine whether Affected Electricity Distributors (see definition below) should be allowed to recover from their ratepayers the costs and damages incurred as a result of the Minutes of Settlement approved on April 21, 2010 by the Honourable Mr. Justice Cumming of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Court File No. 94-CQ-50878) and as amended by addenda dated July 7, 2010 and July 8 (the “Minutes of Settlement”) in the late payment penalty class action (the “LPP Class Action”), and if so, the form and timing of such recovery.

The Junior Jaguars (7-and-2) turned back the Madawaska District Valley Wolves 30-20. Sonya Bergin had eight points and Shannon Charbonneau seven for St. Joseph’s.

“It was an excellent defensive effort,” coach Mark Valliquette said of the win, which also assured the Jaguars a berth at the Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) high school championship as they are the only A school left standing.

The Junior Jaguars playoff run ended Tuesday with a 33-22 setback to the Wildcats in Opeongo. Shannon Charbonneau and Renee Gauthier topped St. Joseph’s point getters.

Sarah MacLaren had 12 points, Natalie Walters eight and Kerry Keyes seven for St. Joseph’s.

Arnprior scored a 44-37 triumph over the Jaguars in Tuesday’s semifinal.

“We were down 14-0 in the first four minutes and 17 (points) at the half,” coach Mike McMahon said.

“We cut it to five in the fourth quarter.

The girls played well. We just couldn’t come all the way back.”

Sarah MacLaren had 10 points, Rebecca MacLaren nine and Caroline Holley eight to pace St. Joseph’s.

The Jaguars will be hosting the 2010 EOSSAA senior girls basketball championship for A schools Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 17-18.

Late goal ties game PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

The Renfrew Timberwolves bounced back from a Friday night loss in dramatic fashion.

Steven Powell’s second goal with just 19 seconds remaining gave the Wolves a vital 4-4 deadlock in Stittsville Sunday afternoon.

The point gives Renfrew a 5-8and-3 record in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League, and allows them to maintain third place in the Valley Division.

Mitch Parker earned his second assist of the afternoon on Powell’s equalizer.

Tyler Charbonneau and defenceman Ryan Lepine collected other markers for the Wolves.

Charbonneau’s was also a timely goal in that it came with 12 seconds left in the second period after the Royals had assumed a 3-1 lead. Richard Barr made 31 saves over 65 minutes of hockey for the Wolves.

The powerplay giveth, and the powerplay taketh away.

That was a big part of the story Friday night. Shortly after two goals with the man advantage midway through the middle period allowed the Wolves to overcome a 3-1 deficit to pull even

with the visiting Ottawa West Golden Knights, the Knights counted three powerplay markers of their own. They went on to score five consecutive goals over the latter 30 minutes to win 8-3.

Ross Fleming had four goals and Brett Madigan two to lead the Golden Knights, who burnt the Wolves and goaltender Mike Rosebrook for a goal in the opening minute of both the first and second periods.

Steven Powell on a breakaway in the initial stanza, and Renfrew Pizzeria player-of-the-game Erik Mask and Powell again with powerplay goals two minutes apart in the middle stanza, clicked for Renfrew.

The third period turned into fight night for a spell as six players were given early exits for their roles in three bouts.

Dylan Zavitske and Ryan Cuthill were tossed on the same stoppage, while Jesse Riopelle and Fleming showcased one of the best middle-weight bouts you’ll see all year.

The Wolves are at home twice this weekend. The defending EOJHL champion Ottawa Junior Canadians supply the opposition Friday at 8 p.m.

The Almonte Thunder come calling Sunday at 7 p.m.

Amber Gillan (4) unleashes a shot toward the Nepean net during ringette Belle B action Sunday at the MAC. Gillan had all three goals in Upper Ottawa Valley’s 3-2 victory. She added a fourth marker and Colleen Fleury the shutout in a follow-up 6-0 triumph. Mercury

Mapleside Sugar Bush brings home two international awards

Ray and Carol Anne Bonen- antioxidant elements, comparaberg, owners of Mapleside Sugar ble to Gala red apples, broccoli Bush in Rankin, won two awards and bananas. at an International Maple Syrup Conference held in Stratford, Ontario last week.

The Bonenbergs were in Stratford for the annual North American Maple Council (NAMSC) conference October 20 to 23. It was actually a bit of an afterthought to enter some of their products in the conference competitions and they ended up coming home with two awards. Mapleside won first place overall for their maple butter and brought home a second place ribbon for their maple red pepper jelly.

NAMSC is an international network of associations representing 16 maple producing U.S. states and Canadian provinces.

NAMSC president Rick Marsh, in presenting the awards to the Bonenbergs said, “Our association has been supporting valueadded maple products as a way of broadening the appeal and use of maple syrup. Mapleside is making some excellent products.

They have certainly earned these awards.”

Carol Anne Bonenberg was quite excited about the awards. ”We entered three items in the competition, without any real expectation of winning,” she explained. “It was our first time entering and we were up against producers from Canada and the U.S. So it was a thrill to do so well in two categories.”

Ray Bonenberg says that maple products are experiencing a bit of an upswing in popularity with consumers right now.

“Maple has always been popular with a lot of people,” he explained. “It’s a great natural food that can be used in so many ways.”

But, Bonenberg said, recent research is also showing that maple syrup is very high in nutritional value, and that is making a difference for health-conscious consumers. Maple is an excellent source of nutrients such as manganese, riboflavin and zinc. But it has also shown to contain active

Carol Anne Bonenberg came away with two maple product awards at the North American Maple Syrup Council (NAMSC) conference.

“There was quite of bit of excitement at the conference with the new information coming out

about the health qualities of maple products,” Bonenberg said.

“As a producer here in the Otta-

wa Valley, that just means people have another reason to use our product. It’s good news.”

Rare woodpecker expands its range north

We received the following email from Sheila Kemp.

Hi Jim and Ila: I have been fortunate to have this red-bellied woodpecker coming to my feeders for a couple of weeks. Until I read your article I didn’t realize that he was rare in this area. I hope he plans on staying for the winter! I have attached a photo for you; the downy doesn’t look too thrilled with this new bird! Sheila Kemp We also received pictures of a red-bellied woodpecker taking suet and seed at Wilda and Harris Johnston’s feeders near Cobden.

Such pictures make identification very easy. Two weeks ago we reported a red-bellied woodpecker at Jeannine Newton’s feeder in Renfrew.

In 2003 the species was seen at Calabogie by Clive and Charlotte Booth and in Renfrew by Gilles Chretien. These spring sightings may have indicated possible nestings.

In November 2006, Ann and Keith Eady had a red-bellied woodpecker at their feeder in Horton Township.

This species is not generally considered a migrant but Great Lakes populations may be driven south during extremely cold winters. In the late 1950’s and early 1960’s, the red-bellied began to expand its range northward and now it nests in southwestern Ontario. This has meant that more and more red-bellied woodpeckers are being seen in our area, the northern fringe of their range.

The next task we have is to find nesting sites, if there are any, and prove we have a new resident species, like the sandhill cranes.

The best field marks of this species are the red crown and nape and the black and white barred back and tail. The pale red belly patch is almost impossible to see.

Please call if you see this species.

JIM FERGUSON SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE on the tail and rusty under tail coverts (feathers).

A SIGN OF THINGS TO COME? Marlene Hanneman saw a flock of about 25 snow buntings on Nov. 2.

In this area we can expect snowbirds to arrive any time after the end of September.

Where and when is very unpredictable, snow or no snow.

Snow buntings breed in the far north but winter throughout central North America. Wintering flocks can number over 1,000 birds. They never seem satisfied with either their feeding area or

each other. They are continually bickering among themselves or flying off to a better feeding site.

Lapland longspurs and horned larks may travel with the flocks of snow buntings. The large, flashing white wing-patches distinguish the buntings from the longspurs and the larks.

The best field marks are the white wings with black tips and their habit of travelling in large winter flocks.

GRAY JAY

It is truly amazing how a bird can be considered somewhat of a nuisance bird in one area and almost absent in another only a short distance away as the crow flies. Sightings of gray jays are spotty south of Algonquin Park.

They have been counted only

CARDINALS RETURN Bob Cybulski has had a male cardinal coming to his feeders late in the evening but he has not seen the female. It has been determined that the intensity of the red in the male’s breast and the female’s underwing coverts (feathers) indicate higher reproductive success and better quality territories. So, some cardinals are redder than others.

Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, R R 5, Renfrew, Ontario K7V 3Z8 Phone 613-432-2738 or email jamesh@ A red-bellied woodpecker and a downy woodpecker. Photo by Sheila nrtco.net.

BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS INVADE FRUIT TREES If you have any fruit trees: mountain ash, crab apple, buckthorn berry tree, highbush cranberry or wild grape vines, you will be invaded by flocks of 250 or more bohemian waxwings. They are making their annual visit to harvest the fruit.

Raglan Street North in Renfrew is a popular feeding area for them.

Joan Rodgers has a mountain ash tree, and Marlene Thompson a crab apple tree that have almost been stripped of their fruit. Tracey Marki saw a flock in Horton Heights feeding on ash berries and Jack Dougherty saw a large flock of the waxwings feeding on maple buds and ash berries. Ruby Vieland saw a flock of over 300 bohemian waxwings at Cobden.

The best field marks for this species are the pointed crest, grey belly, black mask, waxy yellow tip

three times in our Christmas Bird Count, 1989, 1995 and 1998.

Marlene Hanneman saw a single gray jay this past week. They are quite shy south of their normal year-round range.

Burnstown WI Public Relations

The members of the Burnstown branch of Women’s Institute are very proud of their group, their traditions, and their accomplishments. Their meetings are as inviting and welcoming as the warm rustic community they represent.

It started in 1911 when a group of ladies met in Burnstown at the home of Mrs. John Forrest and organized the Burnstown branch. Their mandate was to share information, educate, provide support, take part in activities and work on the needs of their community. Their time and volunteer work was given selflessly A portion of all proceeds donated to the Food Bank.

Enright Real Estate Brokerage INDEPENDENTLY OWNED AND OPERATED

The ladies enjoyed some fabulous potluck lunches at some of their noon meetings. About half of their meetings are held in the evening.

Last year’s programs included guest speaker Theresa Mann on heart health, making maple syrup at a member’s home, dramatization of Mary Stewart Collect, decorating a bird house, old-fashion pickling, and a garden party with a talent show for the children at one of the member’s homes. This successful event included a hat contest.

The October meeting featured a photography lesson.

We have upcoming programs on foster parenting and interior decoration.

Next year promises to be just as exciting.

The enthusiasm of our branch members and their willingness to participate makes every activity a success.

Our programs are centered around the various skills that our members bring to the group.

This year the Burnstown Women’s Institute will celebrate its 100th anniversary celebration on June 19, 2011 at the Burnstown United Church.

The public is invited to join us for these celebrations and we will make more details available as we get closer to the date.

A quilting group has been formed and they meet weekly to work on a commemorative quilt for the event.

If you would like more information on how to join this fun group, please call me at 613-752-1773.

There is camaraderie and friendship to enjoy and we make a difference in our community.

The Burnstown Women’s Institute welcomes new members.

What is the Burnstown WI about?

27

and this has not changed to this day.

This active, growing group boasts 25 active branch members. Seven members joined in 2009 with several more expected this year.

The group appreciates the diversity in members’ backgrounds and the difference in ages ranging from 30 to 90 years.

The difference in ages creates many opportunities with varied talents, ideas, personal skills and wide-ranging interests. Mutual respect and caring is ever present and long-lasting friendships have formed.

The past year has been a busy one and activities have included road clean up along Highway 508 twice per year; bake/ plant sale to support the Burnstown United Church; contributions to the local hospital; sewing at the Bonnechere Manor; and participation at the Arnprior, Renfrew and Ottawa fairs.

WE REMEMBER

Troops from CFB Petawawa salute the memory of Canada’s veterans at the Calabogie cenotaph Sunday.

Service and sacrifice remembered LUCY HASS

lucy.hass@metroland.com

Services honouring veterans were held in Renfrew, Horton and Calabogie on Sunday, leading into a week of solemn remembrance.

Nov. 5 to 11 is Veterans’ Week, and Sunday morning members of the local Renfrew Air Force Association of Canada gathered on the shores of the Bonnechere River for their annual service.

Participating in the service were local AFAC representatives, Champlain 433 cadets, the Arnprior-McNab Pipes and Drums, and the general public.

In his opening address, Wing 653 president Dan Duchene noted the “supreme sacrifice” of Armed Services of Canada, in all wars and military engagements.

“Their sacrifice will ever inspire us to labour on, to the end, so that those who survive and need our aid may be assured of

assistance and that the country in which they live, and for which they died, may be ever worthy of the sacrifice they made,” he said.

Remember also, he said, “the peacekeeping forces who continue to serve throughout the world, and those who serve and protect at home in our communities.”

Citizens lined the street in from of the Calabogie cenotaph in the afternoon for that community’s annual tribute.

Greater Madawaska Reeve Peter Emon gave opening remarks and other participants were Hank Schaly, Father Pat Blake, Rev. Don Anderson, Pipe Major Al Cole and the Renfrew Highland Pipes and Drums, Comrade Greg Walbeck, Marie Buscomb and Maj.-Gen. (ret’d) Bill Hewson, veterans and members from the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 148 in Renfrew, air cadets from Champlain Squadron in Renfrew, and troops from

CFB Petawawa.

Cannon fire opened and closed two minutes of silence, and a long list of people laid wreaths, including Silver Cross Mother representative Mary Charbonneau.

A memorial service was also held in Horton Township at the same time Sunday afternoon.

The emcee was Jim Ferguson and Cory Ferguson led the prayer and benediction and gave the Remembrance message. Willis Eady read In Flanders Fields.

Music was by Bob Johnston, Last Post and Reveille was performed by Don McLeod, and The Lament by piper Graham Jamieson of the Renfrew Highland Pipes and Drums.

The Renfrew service was held this morning at Low Square, too late for press deadline.

For coverage of the Renfrew service, visit www.yourottawaregion.com/communities/ rural north.

Flag bearers at Sunday’s AFAC Wing ceremony were cadets Zach Pudsey and Garnet Gladwyn.

Hello, everyone! Goodness, but how the time flies!

We at Branch 148 certainly hope that everyone had a successful and enjoyable summer and fall.

Our Parking Lot Fundraiser was moderately successful at which we raised a little over $1,400. Many thanks are extended to all those who donated time, money and gifts.

Well folks, we are having another fundraiser for a Legion member who needs a helping hand. Robert (Bob) Hunter, who is a very active member at Branch 148, has a very debilitating disease – Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and requires our assistance in getting a new procedure (not available in Canada) to hopefully alleviate some (if not all) of the symptoms associated with this dreadful affliction. Our provincial and federal governments do not recognize this procedure as of this writing.

We are holding a fundraiser

for Bob on the Nov. 20, which will help to defray some of the costs associated with this procedure.

The fundraiser will be held at the Renfrew Legion, starting at 7 p.m. with music provided by St. Michael Country with Matt Brydges, the Debenhams, Dennis Meilleur, and other local talent. The cost is $10 at the door (advance tickets also available) with a light lunch provided, many draws, 50/50 tickets and much more. Please help in any way that you can.

By the time you read this article it will be Remembrance Day which is the time all Canadians must realize the hardships, heartaches, and torture that our former and current Veterans have endured. We must remember that there are men and women (boys and girls) that gave the ultimate sacrifice to ensure our continued freedom and liberty. Please remember them!

Stay tuned for upcoming events at the Legion. We have some great bands performing every Saturday in the Lounge from 3 to 7 p.m.

EDUCATION

Public takes in RCIS opening PETER CLARK

STEVE NEWMAN

peter.clark@metroland.com

Parents, students and staff members were on hand to witness the official ribbon cutting to open Renfrew Collegiate Intermediate School at Renfrew Collegiate Institute Thursday evening.

Renfrew County District Board of Education school trustee Marjorie Doering joined RCDSB director of education Roger Clarke for the ribbon cutting on the first floor just outside of the principal’s office.

RCI principal Alanna Emon welcomed all to RCI for the occasion, and thanked the efforts of Doering, Clarke and the RCDSB for making this transition of Grade 7 and 8 students to RCI possible.

“I’m happy we’re finally officially open, but glad we waited,” Emon observed. “We wanted to be ready to meet the public.

“There is a real sense of togetherness from Grades 7 to 12 that I wasn’t necessarily expecting,” the principal added.

“They are all proud to be Raiders.”

The 2010-11 school year is the first for Grade 7 and 8 students being a part of the school structure at RCI. The classes are all former students of Central, Queen Elizabeth and Admaston public schools.

Clarke said “community support” was pivotal in bringing this project to fruition.

“Tonight is really about acknowledging the community and staff getting this project through to reality,” Clarke noted.

“I want to thank Marjorie Doering and

(board chair) Roy Reiche who made sure all the financial and human resources were in right to make this project a success.”

A great job was done on the renovations which took place throughout the summer to ensure the doors would be open for the arrival of the Grade 7s and 8s in September, Clarke added.

In most municipalities, voter turnout during the recent municipal election was usually between 50 and 65 per cent.

But it was a lot higher at Admaston Public School Oct. 25.

Students from every grade went to the voting booths to support their preferred party of four Grade 5 candidates.

It was a battle of the Green, Active and Smarty parties.

Green emerged in third place, while the Active and Smarty contingents were declared co-winners, after one vote count had Active first and another had Smarty on top.

In the lead-up to the school vote, each party placed posters around the school.

The Green Party candidates − Brenden Kelley, Ben Visneskie, Samantha Keuhl and Taliesin Roberts − focused on a green platform that supported recycling, field trips, more awareness about turning lights off when not in use, attracting guest speakers to the school about environmental issues, and growing more plants on the school grounds.

The Active Party candidates foursome − Darrin Verch, Sam Gamache, Dawson Bulmer and Connery Camp-

bell − pushed a platform of physical activity with the assistance of longer physical education periods and the addition of new school sports, like hockey.

The Smarty Party foursome − Lauren Campbell-Bronke, Lydia Spooner, J.D. Dixon and Alecia Neill − concentrated on the importance of being smarter, with the help of more homework, more field trips to museums and communities, and smaller class sizes.

The Smarty foursome also took advantage of their name, and attached little campaign notes to chocolate smarties, for collection by the young voters as they left the gymnasium after the Monday-morning assembly.

At the Monday-morning assembly, Grade 4-5 Scott Rubie explained the process and each party presented its platform.

“I think the young kids were really anxious to vote and express themselves,” said Rubie.

The entire election campaign at the school was also helpful in various ways, he said.

Students learned more about the voting process, party members developed multi-media communication methods to describe their campaign, and they took up the challenge of explaining ideas in a persuasive manner.

Passport to Prosperity campaign launch calls for employer champions The Pembroke Regional Hospital and TV Cogeco have been recognized by the province for their efforts to create work place learning opportunities for students.

Their commitment to student learning in the workplace is being applauded by the Passport to

Prosperity program in Renfrew County, as a means of getting more local employers to follow their example.

Passport to Prosperity, which is administered by Algonquin College on behalf of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Training, Colleges and

Rotary exchange students get to know Brazil and Renfrew

Universities, unveiled its priorities for the 2010-2011 school year in Take Our Kids to Work Day. Project co-oordinator Michelle Larivierre-Ranger, says creating more opportunities for students who are enrolled in the Specialist High Skills Major program is an important initiative for all local high schools.

“More students are being channeled into career pathways while in high school, but for these students to be successful, more employers need to get involved.

“The Specialist High Skills Major program relies on employers to provide reach ahead opportunities where students can visit workplaces, participate in co-op placements, or be supported by mentors, thereby enhancing the curriculum they are being taught in the classroom.

Our role is to help find more of these opportunities for these students,” says Larivierre-Ranger.

A provincial data base has been created to allow employers to easily sign on to supporting schools in their district that are

PETER CLARK

Anne Marie Vanderzwaag and Anna Carolina Neves du Nascimento know something about each other’s countries.

Vanderzwaag of Haley Station spent much of the 2009-10 school year in Brazil with the Rotary Youth Exchange program, which has operated in District 7040 for more than 25 years. Now considered a rebound student, she returned home earlier this summer.

Meanwhile, inbound student Neves du Nascimento, known to her new friends as Carol, is from Brazil and has been in Renfrew and a student at Renfrew Collegiate Institute since Sept. 7.

Anne Marie hasn’t regretted the 10 months she spent in Brazil.

“You have to want to go. If you want to go, go,” she said. “I loved it.”

“In the beginning, I didn’t really notice the difference, but once you are there for awhile, you start to notice.”

Anne Marie gained a grasp on the Portuguese language fairly quickly. “I could carry on a good conversation in about five months but I understood the language in two months. I found it easier to put myself in situations.”

Carol is staying at the home of Renfrew Rotarians Joe Fontes and Kathy Lofthouse, and host sister Ashley as her first host family. She will stay with three different host families during her year in Renfrew.

With Fontes helping out as interpreter, Carol has noticed a number of differences in the Canadian town.

“A lot of teenagers work here,” she said. “The food is different; it’s cold (the weather, not the food), classes are different.

“The first week here was hard,” Carol added, noting that things got better quickly, as she began meeting new friends.

She is into some music, wants to try volleyball, and maybe play hockey. When asked about skating, Carol answered, “I never say no. I will try.”

“I will take her out to public skating,” Vanderzwaag suggested.

Carol’s home town is Recife, which has a population of about

looking for more co-op placements for students.

The data base is web based and includes other important information on initiatives that are underway in Renfrew County and other parts of the province to support business-education partnerships. The web site is www.employerregistry.ca.

Employers interested in Options or any other partnerships related to student workplace experiences should contact Michelle Larivierre-Ranger at 613735-4308, ext. 6.

one million people. Anne Marie stayed in Caruaru, home to 350,000. “It’s only about an hour away” (from Recife), Carol noted.

“It’s just a coincidence that we have a rebound student who was in Brazil and an inbound student who is from there,” Rotary youth exchange chair Janet Springer noted.

The Rotary Club of Renfrew is now applications for long-term (one year) and short term (six weeks to three months) exchange students.

They are also in the market for families to host exchange students. “They don’t have to be a part of the Rotary Club, nor do the students,” Fontes points out.

Countries available for exchange are Australia, Brazil, France, Finland, Germany, Italy, India, Japan, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand and Venezuela.

The exchange year is not a gap year nor a tourist holiday, the Rotary Club press releases stresses.

It is an opportunity to learn and experience a different culture, and perhaps master a new language. Successful exchange students become members of their respective host families and valuable members of their host community.

Janet Springer can be reached at 613-432-6694 for more information. The deadline for this year is the end of November.

“I think it’s more important to exchange your culture than learning the language,” Carol adds.

“I’ll pass on the Brazilian culture to people I meet here.”

The St. Joseph’s Catholic High School Fall Coffee House held on Nov. 4 was a great success with many acts performing to a full house leaving standing room only.

The SJHS Town Square created the perfect venue for an evening of music, comedy, and delicious treats prepared

by Third Floor Kitchen. Thank you to all who attended for supporting SJHS’ performing arts. Don’t forget to mark your calendar for our annual Christmas recital Dec. 16.

Watch for further information as this date draws nearer.

Thursday, Nov. 4 was not only a day for SJHS performing arts but was also a busy day in sports as well.

The afternoon opened with a pep rally lead by students, with the support of our Jazz Band who played I got a Feelin’ by the Black Eyed Peas.

This spirit and energy carried over into the senior boys volleyball and senior girls basketball games. This was a big game for the senior girls. With a win they secured a place in the Eastern Ontario Secondary School Athletics Association (EOSSAA) Senior ‘A’ championships at SJHS on Nov. 17 and 18. Great work team!

Over the month of November a change in face will hit SJHS as 13 staff members and six students will participate in Movember.

Movember is a public campaign to raise awareness of prostate cancer and raise funds for prostate cancer research.

It all started in Australia in 2003 and has

the length of his life.

JAGUAR JOURNAL

Nicolas Ruszkowski VP, Communications Ottawa Hospital This week, we remember the veterans who served us in World War I, World War II, or more recently in places like Afghanistan. My thoughts go out to my maternal grandfather, Guy de Puineuf, a veteran of the French Resistance in World War II. I remember the kindness with which he shared his war stories. I remember the day I learned he had a heart attack. And I remember the look on his face – a combination of courage and fear for the journey ahead – when we said goodbye before his multiple bypass surgery.

Collin Carnagie playing the guitar at the coffee house. spread to become an international event.

Throughout the month of November, men around the world are challenged to grow a moustache (Mo) hence, Movember. Prostate cancer is the number one cancer affecting men and the SJHS school community wants to do their part to help fight this disease. If you wish to make a contribution to Movember, please contact the school to sponsor these participants.

He survived his heart attack and lived another nine years. His operation was a success.

Or was it? Half of heart attack survivors suffer permanent damage that can make it harder to run, walk, or do everyday activities. That’s because heart muscle that dies during a heart attack is replaced with scar tissue, which weakens the heart’s ability to pump blood through the body.

The things my grandfather loved doing, like hunting or cycling, became far more difficult. It meant a reduction in the quality and, ultimately,

New research in the field of regenerative medicine may help change this. If it does, it could happen at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute (OHRI).

Dr. Duncan Stewart, CEO and Scientific Director at OHRI is leading research that asks “what if we can help the heart repair itself?”

The question could be lifted right off a Star Trek script. Instead, it is the basis of a new therapy and an upcoming clinical trial developed by Dr. Stewart.

The therapy involves harvesting “regenerative cells”, sometimes called adult stem cells, from the blood of patients a few days after their heart attack. Then, growing the cells in a lab, where they would be given genes that make them more powerful. Finally, cells would be injected back into the patient’s heart in order to get rid of scar tissue and regenerate healthy new tissue.

Dr. Stewart’s clinical trial begins later in 2011. It will be the first in the world to test a combined cell and gene therapy in people with heart disease. It will include 100 patients in Ottawa and two other Canadian cities.

To find out more, please visit www.ohri.ca/ centres/StemCellResearch/default.asp Nicolas Ruszkowski is VP, Communications and Outreach at The Ottawa Hospital. Each week, he will share behind-the-scenes insight from the hospital. E-mail him your questions or comments at nruszkowski@toh.on.ca

#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.

SENIORS GROVES PARK WOMAN OF THE YEAR This fall marked the beginning of what will become an exciting annual tribute to the women of Groves Park Lodge. The 2010 GPL Woman of the Year Draw was inspired by staff and management’s desire to show recognition of their residents and treat them to something fun and enjoyable. All female residents’ names were included in the draw, which was held at the Annual Christmas Article Bingo. The lucky winner was Mrs. Zella Mullins, who was awarded the choice between a shopping spree with a personal shopper, dinner out with loved ones, or a spa day.

Spring 2011 will bring introduction of the first GPL Man of the Year.

THIS WEEK’S FEATURE RENFREW

FUNDRAISING CHRISTMAS BINGO On Wednesday, Oct. 20 the shouts of bingo were heard throughout a filled GEM Hall at Groves Park Lodge in Renfrew where more than 100 visitors, residents and staff attended the annual Christmas fundraising article bingo. The successful bingo raises money to buy Christmas gifts for each of the 90 residents to open on Christmas morning.

The generosity of local businesses, families, suppliers, and staff is shown in the varied and beautiful prizes for each game.

Frank Belanger volunteered his time to be caller for the evening.

A 50/50 draw and refreshments also contributed to the success of the night. The organizers thank all who attended, donated prizes, advertised, or supported the event in any way. “If you didn’t make it to Groves Park this year, watch for signs next year,” say organizers.

“It is one bingo you don’t want to miss.”

It was built by a pioneer bearing the name of Munro from whom one of Renfrew’s streets took its name. The late John Dunbar died in 1915.

NOVEMBER 4, 1970 HYDRO RATES TO INCREASE: Hydro prices will be increased effective the first of next year.

This was learned Tuesday afternoon by The Mercury-Advance.

Local hydro manager Ross Young reported receiving a letter from the Ontario Hydro Electric Commission telling of an increase of 6.8 percent to power costs to the Renfrew Hydro Electric Commission. With the 7 percent increase imposed last Jan. 1, which the local commission have absorbed for a year, a rate study has been started, with the increase being passed along to the consumer as of Jan. 1, 1971. No estimate of what increase might be expected could be obtained.

LEGION PLANS FOR NOV. 11: Plans were made for the Nov. 11 Remembrance Day observations here in Renfrew last Wednesday evening, when Renfrew Branch 148 of the Royal Canadian Legion held its monthly meeting.

Poppy chairman John Forgie told the membership everything was well underway as far as the sale of wreaths was concerned and the street sale of poppies would be held the coming weekend. On Wednesday, Nov. 11 the usual service will be held at 11 a.m. at the Cenotaph and the Remembrance Day banquet will again be held in the Legion Hall where the guest speaker will be G.B. Cooke of Renfrew.

sent off to Canada and Australia.

Many of those children were never seen or heard from their families again. The lucky ones were adopted, the older children were put to work on farms for their keep until they were old enough to head out on their own.

Lorente, along with his wife Kay, founded Home Children Canada and have spent more than 20 years researching and helping many of these Home Children re-unite with their families.

Everyone is welcome. Admission is free and light refreshments will be served.

Yearington holds book signing MARY JOAN HALE Greater Madawaska Library

On Oct. 30 the Greater Madawaska Public Library hosted the second in a series of author visits.

Tim Yearington discussed his book That Native Thing: Exploring the Medicine Wheel.

Tim placed a small model of the wheel on the floor and explained it is a compass not only as a guide through the bush, but through life as well.

He described the meaning of the four directions, the four colours and how the wheel is an allegory of the stages of life with each direction and colour relating to parts of the cycle of life.

The universality of the circle was discussed relating to Celtic, Asian and other cultures.

He explained that ‘medicine’ in the Native culture encompasses more than we understand it as non-natives.

For all things there is an opposite, eg. good and bad, left and right, sun and moon, and there must be balance.

He told several stories whereby his love and understanding of the bush and the creatures and plants gave him knowledge of the world around him and that he is still learning.

About 15 of us sat in a circle around the medicine wheel and there were many questions and much discussion ensued.

Guests were able to purchase copies of the book with a personal signing by the author.

For each book bought, he is donating five dollars to the library fund.

The county that has the most predator kills by the numbers is ….

Prince Edward County is a very picturesque county.

Driving through it you don’t see fields and fields of livestock and sheep. You see mostly crops growing. My wife and I took a bus tour of the county in July and saw one farm with hundreds of goats grazing in two pasture fields. So it was a surprise to see that Prince Edward County has the most predator kills of all the eastern and east-central Ontario counties. Prince Edward County has replaced the Durham region as the coyote capital of Ontario.

In fiscal year 2009-2010, Prince

Edward County reported 552 animals injured or killed by coyotes or wolves, according to the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA). Durham reported 484 killed or maimed.

Prince Edward County reported 504 sheep and 48 cattle killed or maimed with a payout by the province of more than $148,000.

One of the biggest losses in the county came from a sheep farmer on Waupoos Island who lost 70 lambs on pasture in one week. If that wasn’t bad enough, the farmer is continually losing

MAYNARD VAN DER GALIEN RURAL ROUTES lambs. He’s been losing one a day on his farm on the mainland and one every second day on his farm on the island. You’d think he’d do something about those losses. He did. He sponsored two hunts the third week of August but hunters came back empty handed.

Second on the OMAFRA list is Kawartha Lakes with 398 animals killed by predators. It’s

quite a list. Sheep 171, cattle 119, poultry 85, goats 20 and 3 horses.

Frontenac is third on the list with 370 animals killed by predators. Sheep 280, cattle 76, goats 13 and 1 horse.

Peterborough had 244 animals killed. Besides the sheep and cattle killed they had 1 horse and 1 swine killed.

You would think that Lanark County with all the bush and rocky land would have a high number of predator kills. That’s where you would think the coyotes and wolves hang out. They

are in eighth place with 195 animals killed, including 2 horses.

Renfrew County is in ninth place in predator kills of the 13 counties in eastern and east-central Ontario. Renfrew County had 88 sheep, 15 goats, 66 cattle and 15 poultry for a total of 184 killed by predators.

Last on the list is PrescottRussell. They had 40 goats and 5 cattle killed.

Looking over the list I count seven horses killed by coyotes or wolves. I’m surprised they are downing horses. Pretty scary stuff !

Successful start to parent-to-parent sale STEVE NEWMAN

steve.newman@metroland.com

The first parent-to-parent sale of children’s items was successful enough Saturday (Oct. 23) that organizers may run the event twice a year.

The event at Renfrew’s AFAC Wing was intended to raise money for the Child’s Paradise Day Care Centre and the Renfrew County Child Poverty Action Network (CPAN).

“For a first time, it’s been very successful,” said chief organizer Hayley Chaplin. “We’re looking at maybe making this a semi-annual event.”

There were 38 vendors for the event that raised $357.50 for a play-related piece of equipment at the day care centre, and another $357.50 for CPAN’s snowsuit fund or backpack program.

The money was raised from vendor rental fees and the bake sale. The vendors kept their own profits from sales of toys, books, clothing and other child-related items.

During the parent-to-parent sale, Carson O’Neill, 2, shows granny Janet Turner and a potential buyer where the best baked goodies are. Mercury photos by Vendor Sara MacKenzie is joined at the parent-toSteve Newman parent sale by husband Paul and daughter Rebekah.

COMMUNITY

Boudreau uplifted by Harvest Jam Benefit at the DACA Centre STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

While experiencing the various unwanted symptoms of Lyme Disease, Christine Boudreau is fighting the battle of her life.

But the 47-year-old Pembroke resident, who grew up in Dacre, says the medical and financial obstacles facing her and husband Morris don’t seem as bad after the successful Harvest Jam Benefit held Oct. 17 at the DACA Centre.

“It means everything to me, the world to me, to have so much support come out,” she said of the event.

“I am thankful for the love and support of my family, friends and community for making this beautiful day so special,” added Boudreau, who is on extended leave from her job as a sand-blast etcher at Yolkowski Monuments in Cobden.

Organizers of the benefit included her sisters, Betty Frost, Heather Coulterman and Mary LaRonde, although dozens of others helped out.

Close to 300 people attended the benefit.

Meet many of the volunteer organizers behind the Harvest Jam Benefit She didn’t disclose the amount of money raised, for Christine Boudreau. The successful fundraiser was for the Dacre- but indicated, “It’s going to make a huge differborn Boudreau, a Pembroke resident who is battling Lyme Disease. ence. It’s to help us through the year just looking after medical trips and paying for assisted devices Boudreau, in the wheelchair, is seated next to her husband, Morris.

not covered under insurance.”

Just recently, Boudreau has suffered severe shakes, which she suspects may be seizures.

Therefore, she has undergone two MRIs at Ottawa’s Montfort Hospital since the benefit.

The benefit also featured a large Wheels of the Valley classic car show, several entertainers and guest speaker Nancy Sullivan of Pembroke who also suffers from Lyme Disease.

Her talk helped shed more light on what it means to have the tick-borne disease, which attacks the nervous system and creates such symptoms as flu, dizziness, tremors and swollen joints. The prognosis for substantial recovery is high, but often only after the disease worsens.

“Late-stage Lyme disease has taken me down a long road to recovery; but with the love and support of my family, friends and community, my journey brings new strength,” says Boudreau.

Remembrance is a golden chain, Death tries to break, but all in vain.

To have, to love, and then to part, Is the greatest sorrow of one’s heart.

The years may wipe out many things, But this they wipe out never; The memory of those happy days When we were all together.

The depths of sorrow we cannot tell Of the loss of one we loved so well; And while she sleeps a peaceful sleep, Her memory we shall always keep.

Someday, perhaps, we’ll understand, When we meet again in that better land.

Dearly so loved by one and all, husband Channel and families

We welcome seniors to join us in a game of euchre or floor shuffleboard.

Refreshments are available all afternoon.

Experience isn’t necessary for shuffleboard and anyone wanting to learn to play may come at 12:30 p.m. for instruction.

Four games are played and sticks are drawn as to where you play and who your partner will be, so every game is different.

You are not on a specific team so you’re not committed to be there every week. Membership for the year is $5 and the first Tuesday of every month there is a pot luck lunch. The cost to play each week is $2 and prizes are awarded. A 50/50 draw is held each week.

A catered Christmas dinner is enjoyed on the first Tuesday of December. Any ideas for doing something as a group (going to the casino, day trips, etc.) can also be arranged if there’s enough interest.

This is an afternoon of fun fellowship and a great place to come in the summer (air conditioned) and warm in the winter.
